journal speaks of a rumour that the Government have
it in contemplation to discontinue their present sailing
packet establishment, and to avail themselves of the re-
newed tender, made by the West India RoYal Mail Com-
pany, for the conveyance of the South American mails
and passengers to Barbadoes, and for their transmission
thence to Brazil by branch steamers.
We are glad to find that the Queenborough oyster-
grounds are at length let, and that there is a prospect of
some employment for the dredgermen of that place.
The parties who have hired the grounds are Messrs.
Gibbs and Fletcher, who have for several months been
in communication with the trustees under the new
" Queenborough Act" on the subject, and terms were
finally agreed upon on Monday last.—Canterbuly Journal.
