MAIL PACKET STATIONS.

The subject of the West India snail steamers occu-
pied the attention of the Town Council on Wednesday
last ; and we hope that the matter will not be lost
sight of until Government does justice, not only to
this town, but to the great commercial interests of the
country at large, by appointing as the station for those
steamers the port which affords the greatest facilities
for collecting and distributing the letters ; and that port
will be found to be Liverpool.

That Liverpool affords every accommodation for
large steamers, is sufficiently established by the packets
to Halifax, Glasgow, Dublin, and in fact to all parts
of Ireland and Scotland. It may be objected, that, to
and from Liverpool, vessels will have to make a longer
sea-voyage than to and from one of the western points
in the British Channel. This would be a good objec-
tion with regard to sailing vessels, but it is of no im-
portance to steamers, as has been fully proved by the
speed and regularity with which the Hali'ax
packets have performed their voyages.. All such
considerations have been reduced to nothing by the
extensive employment of steamers and railroads ; atad,
in future, no place can be fairly selected, as a station
for mail-packets, from which there is not a railroad
leading to all the great towns of the kingdom. Nether
Falmouth nor Dartmouth possesses this grand requisite;
and the want of it has recently caused much delay in
distributing the foreign mails, of which the merchants
of this town have felt the effects, and respecting which
they have loudly complained.
Bristol and Southampton have also put forward their
claims. These two ports are more convenient for
transatlantic mail stations than either Falmouth or
Dartmouth; but they do not possess the advantages
that Liverpool does, whether we consider the accom-
modation to be afforded to the ships, the means of
building, repairing, and fitting them out, or the very
important consideration of collecting and despatching the
letters. In the last particular, no town in the kingdom
can at all compete with Liverpool. From this port letters
can be despatched to Manchester, Leeds,York, Birming-
ham, Sheffield, and to all the great manufacturing towns
in England, as well as to every part of Ireland and
Scotland, more frequently, and in a shorter space of
time, than from any other port that can be named ;
consequently, by having the mails made up here, mer-
chants residing in most parts of the United Kingdom
can have an opportunity of replying to the letters they
receive by the packet from the West Indies, even when
but a few hours elapse before the departure of the out-
ward mail.

Besides the letters from the West Indies, it is more
than probable that those from Mexico, the Spanish
Main. the Brazils, and from the ports in the Pacific,
will ultimately be conveyed by these vessels. The im-
portance of this correspondence cannot be overrated,
and the great commercial communities which are in-,
terested in it should at once exert thomselves to prevent
any injudicious arrangement from being entered into.
The Town Council and people of Liverpool will be
greatly to blame if they fail to urge upon the Govern-
ment and upon the Legitlature the superiority of their
port, in every requisite, for ensuring despatch to the
packets, and a speedy diffusion of intelligence over
every part of the United Kingdom.—Liverpool Albion.

A few evenings ago, as a young man of Vitro
(Ille-et-Vilaine) was passing through the Forest of
Pertre with a horse and cart, he was attacked by three
men, who, after robbing him of a few francs which he
had in his pockets. began to search the cart, thinking
there was money concealed in it. In order to make him
confess that this was the case, and to mention the place
of deposit, they tortured him for nearly an hour by cut-
ting his hands and wrists with a knife in twenty places,. , 4
inflicting painful, although not dangerous, wounds. They"
at length left him to continue his journey.
