THE AMERICAN MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday,
Jan. 24.—The United States' mail steamers running
between New York, Southampton, and Bremen, and
New York, Southampton, and Havre, which have been
withdrawn during the winter months, are about to
commence operations. The break formed in the New
York and Havre line by the unfortunate loss of the
Humboldt near Halifax, in December last, is to be
temporarily occupied by the new steam-ship Nashville,
a fine vessel of 1,800 tons burden and 700 horse-power,
built originally for the New York and Charleston
mail service. Accounts from New York received
to-day state that the Nashville was to leave on the
14th inst, on her first voyage, and may consequently
be expected to arrive off Cowes, on her way to Havre,
on Wednesday or Thursday, with the usual semi-
weekly mails. The Franklin, Captain J. A. Wotton, is
to leave New York, on the same route, on the 11th of
February. It is expected that the caloric ship Ericsson
will shortly be placed on this line. The operations of
the Bremen and New York steamers will commence by
the departure on the 28th inst. from New York of the
Washington, and on the 28th of February of the Her-
mann, for Southampton and Bremen. The Nashville
will leave Southampton, for New York, on the 15th of
February, the Franklin on the 15th of March, the
Washington on the Ist, and Hermann on the 29th of
March.

FAILURE OF TELE OVERLAND MAIL FROM AUSTRALIA.
--The overland mail from Australia now due has failed
to reach Point de Galle In time to catch the Indian and
China mail. It will most probably be brought home by
the Himalaya about the middle of next month. The
Indian and China Tail now shortly due will be late, on
account of the Ripon steamer having been delayed on
her outward passage to Gibraltar, through the bad
weather she experienced in the Bay of Biscay.
