of her log we are unable to account for the Canada's
prolonged run.

Our miscellaneous advices mention that the cele-
brated Kosciusko will case had been decided in favour
of the creditors of the late Colonel Bamford, the ad-
ministrator to the estate. The New York Herald
gives the following summary of a large meeting held
in Now York to express sympathy with the efforts of
the Catholics of Ireland to establish a university for
themselves, and to render them assistance in carrying
out that object :
"It was crowded almost to suffocation. The greatest
enthusiasm and good humour prevailed. Archbishop
Hughes delivered a speech of great length, ability, and
logical acumen. He did not demolish the
Socialists and
K.ossuth, and
.
Red Republicans, bat he took a fling at
at the Times, the enemy of Kossuth. lie disposed very
summarily of the claims of the Anglo-Saxon race,' and
contended strenuously for his own particular views as to
the necessity of a religious education, and held that the
State had nothing to do with the matter.
It was rumoured that Archbishop Hughes had
been made a cardinal. Colonel Horace L. Kinney,
the great Texas landowner, had offered Kossut h and
his companions 10,000 acres of land if they desire to
locate in that country. The land is situated on the
Nences River.
The New York Herald contains the following from
its Washington correspondent :
" Washington, Nov. 17.
" I cannot learn that there is foundation in fact in the
warlike rumours dispatched from this city by certain
corresponlnts; as to our relations with Spain. The
statement of the matter, which I telegraphed you several
days since, is, I have reason to believe, an outline of
the facts, all the difficulty in the way of immediate set-
tlement being that the Spanish Minister has been in-
strueted to include a claim for damages done to the pro-
perty of Spanish citizens in New Orleans in his demand
which of course could not be granted, as it is purely a
local matter. Time is necessary for him to communi-
cate with his Government and explain the difficulty—a
difficulty which his own good sense would at once prompt
him to wave, had he the discretional power. There is
no doubt, hoeever, but that the terms offered by Mr.
Webster, alike honourable to us and liberal to Spain,
will be accepted,"
The New York Herald has the following, referring
to the Tehuantepec route :
" The telegraphic dispatches in yesterday's papers
star• d that Governor Letoher had assured the Mexican
authorities that the American Cabinet would not sus-
tele the provisions (proceedings, we suppose) of the
Tehuantepec Company; and, alas, that the company
were negotiating wi:e Mexico to surrender their claims
on certain terms. The facts, we understand, are that the
charter given to Senor Don J 0,(.: Garay by the Govern-
men,: of Santa Anna was sold by Mr. Garay to the house
ef Hargons and Co. for 3,000,000 dolls. the Mexican
Government has offered this company 1,000,000 dolls. to
get back this charter, which, it is understood, they de-
cliee to take. Mr. Letcher, most likely disavowed, on
behalf of the Government, certain proceed:ngs of the
Telleantepec surveying party last summer, but ho will
be preud to see that jue!ice is done to the American con-
tractors. The charter is very clear and explicit. A re-
port of the survey of the whole of this route between
Coetzicoelces and Tehuantepec gill appear in a few
weeks, by which the superior advantages of this route
over all others, either for a railroad or canal, will be
dem rnstrated. Meantime the work of opening a road
has been arrested by the Mexican Government. It
will be the duty of Mr. Letcher to look into this
bueiness."
Aivicas from Havannah report that Mr. Thrasher
had been tried and found gully of treason, and sen-
tenced to eight years in the chain gang. He was to
La sent for this purpose to Spain.
