SOUTHAMPTON.—THE FOREIGN MAILS.—We stfitt4
in our second edition last week that the Governmentl
had refused to accede to the requisition of the Liverpo./
merchants to make Plymouth the West India 3-1!1,
Packet station, and that the Government authoril;len
wer.s about to remedy the inconveniences at present tee',
by the inhabitants of the northern towns, in olio
quence of the occasional delay in the delivery of t.
foreign mails beycni London. This delay arises P 1.111,..
cipally when the mails arrive at Southampton on Sat,tl;''
day afternoons, and which could be remedied by di
s•
the foreign mails at Southampton and forward,
ing th.'m to the north via Basingteke, Reading, Oxfor 0
and Wolverhcmpton ; or by having them sorted ia th
General Post-office on Sundays, and dispatching t,"„"
northern foreign letters by the Sunday night mails, '"'
stead of detaining them until the departure of the Mont
day mails.—We understand that the Governweri
authorities have been at Southampton to ascertain the
time taken to dispatch the foreign mails.—Hanipsiiir
Advertiser.

The thunder-storm on Thursday did great damage
g
at Altrinchrun, Todroordee, and Holmforth. A storm
of thunder and lightning, followed by heavy rain, raged
round Portsmouth, between the hours of nine and elel
on Saturday evening, and from the intense vividness °0
the el, ctric fluid it is to be feared considerable darnagh
must have taken place. The storm appeared to fall lot
great force over Ryde, in :he inland.
