SPANISH' RAILWAYS.

From returns lately made in Spain to the Govern-
ment concerning the railways conceded 'and at work ins
that country in 1856, it appears that the whole of the
lines open to the public, including that from Madrid to
Saragossa conceded to the Spanish Credit Mobilier, gave a
length of 1,955 kilometres (1,222 miles). In the concession
granted to that company of the two sections of the rail-
road from Madrid to Valladolid, and from Burgos to the
frontier of France, the first section will leave Madrid, pun
by Avila, Ardvola, and Medina del Campo, and will stop
at Valladolid, where it will join the section already traced
out fzom Valladolid to Burgos. The third section will
quit the station of the last town, and, passing by Miranda
do I'Ebre, Vittoria, Alsasua, Tolosa, Andoain, and San
Sebastian, will terminate at the French frontiers. The
works from Madrid to Avila are to be terminated and
opened to circulation within a delay of five years; those
from Avila to Valladolid, to Burgos, and from Burgos to
Vittoria, in four years ; those from the latter town to the
frontiers in seven years, dating from the 15th October,
of
fom Sprain
Barcelona, 'l3lel kilo-
metres to
1856. The works are to commence in three months. The
Spanish Credit Mobilier is thus master over the whole,
Northern line, the extent of which is not less than 621
kilometres. If we add the 110 kilometres of the line from
Alar to Santander, it results that the said company has
undertaken(4s7 to
miles)
o f constructrai
rail. The
the
lneinrtehs
Mataro, from Barcelona to Granollers, from Jativa to Va-
lence to the port of Grao, are. at work throughout their
whole extent. On the line from Xeres to the Trocadero,
the provisional bridges of the section from Puerto Santa
Maria to the Trocadero, are terminated, and have been
subjected to the usual trials. All that new remains is the
official reception. The commission which had proceeded
from Madrid to the frontier, to fix the point of junction
of the Spanish line with that of France, has returned,
after having attained the object of its journey. The two
lines are to be joined together a little beyond Torten, two
miles distance from Hostalrich.

EUSSI A.

A.n. expression occurring in the following letter
from the Emperor Alexande r to General•Luders
has excited some remark on the part of the conti-
nental press :
Taking into consideration the indispensable ne-
cessity you are under of seekin tg a cure of the grave
malady which has affected yo u for many years, I
have consented to accord you v. year's leave of ab-

to you your present emolumen its. Acceding, far-
ther, to your second request, E have relieved you
from the duties of Coalman. tier-in-Chier of the
Second Army, retaining to yot t, however, the dig-
nity of my Adjutant-General. Appreciating your
efficient services, I hope that if circumstances givs
me occasion to recall you to employment before

PRUSSIA.
A letter from Berlin of the 2 ,in the Debats,
says :—" It is significant, now tha t political affairs
appear about to enter on a new pt lase, that in our
official circles the services which tl le French Cabi-
net has rendered to Prussia are spoken of with
special predilection. It is remai Iced that it is to
France that Prussia is indebted i or having been
invited to the conferences at Paris, and that Franco
took the first and most decisive y top in favour of
Prussia in the affair of Neuchatel. It is further
remarked that Prussia is in pen ect accord with
France and Russia in all the inipt ,rtant questions
which now agitate. Europe. We learn that our
Government has for some time b 3en endeavour-
ing to obtain a treaty of coinmer 30 with Russia,
such as is called for in the : petitions of the
provincial Diets. Russia, it is said, has
shown herself sufficiently dispos ed to accede
in this respect to the wishes of Prussia,
and the approaching opening a f negotiations
on the communications to be established be-
tween Prussian and Russian riij lways may be
considered as a first step towards establishing
closer commercial s relations bet weep the two

verted. The race of officials is used up. We

want unhackueyed men, to whom the word duty
has some significance, men who are neither above
nor below being useful servants of the public.

We refer our readers to the address of Mr.
EDWIN JAMBS, to the electors of Hull. We are
aware of the objections of many constituencies to
be represented by lawyers, but the untiring indus-
try with which their late Member, Mr. WATSON,
discharged the duties of a representative for
the independent borough of Hull, is well
calculated to remove such objection. Mr. EDWIN
JAMES' high position at the bar, the great expe-
rience he has had in every variety of mercantile
cases, and his able and ready power of speaking,
render him a most fit man to be intrusted with
the important commercial interests of such a
borough as that of Kingston-upon-Hull. We cor-
dially wish him success as a straightforward and
true-hearted Liberal.

CHARCE OF MANSLAUGHTER,.

The Court of Assizes of the Var, in its last sitting,
tried a young man, named Bonnaud, for manslaughter.
He is the son of a retired notary of large fortune of Le
Val, and was allowed by his father, with whom be lived,
an ample income. Having no occupation he plunged
into libertinage, and by means of his wealth seduced
several young woraen in the neighbourhood. One of
his mistresses was a young dressmaker, named Homey,
and es he nut only made her valuable presents, but
lent her father money, the latter did not object to his
connection with her. In July last the brother of the
young woman, a sailor, came home, and he soon heard
of her misconduct. He at once went to Bonnaud and per-
emptorily ordered him to break off all connection with his
sister under pain of encountering his vengeance. Bonnaud
told the young woman's father of the threats of the bro-
ther, and the father answered, " Don't be afraid of him,
he is only a Russian !" meaning thereby that be was
more boastful than resolved.. Things continued in this
state until the 12th August last, when, at about ten
o'clock in the evening, Bonnaud and the young woman
met at the village fountain, but whether by appointment
or accident is not known. Whilst they were conversing,
young Romey came up and cried out angrily to Bon-
used, " I forbade you to speak ',to my sister !" " You
do not, I suppose, mime to forbid me coming to the
fountain ?" answered Bonnaud. "If you were not such
a little fellow," said Romey, who waq a tall, powerfel
man, " I would strike you." " Strike !" cried the

drawn forth a large poignard, and had attempted to stab
Romey with it. After going some distance, Rainey turned
round to face his adversary, who was pursuing him, the
poignard in his hand. A new struggle took place between
them, and Romey received a stab in the breast. Romey
again took to flight, and Bonnaud, watching him,
cried cut, " With such a stab as that, I cannot un-
derstand how be can run !" but, after making rather
a large circle, Romey arrived near the fountain and there
fell. The bystanders hastened to his assistance, but
found that he was dead. All these facts were clearly
proved by several witnesses, amongst whom was
the sister of the victim. After she had given her evi•
deuce, the president asked her how it happened that she
had permitted herself to be seduced by the prisoner.
"He promised me marriage, sir," she replied, " and I
believed him." "Is that true?" asked the president of
the prisoner. " No," he answered gruffly, "she lies."
This reply created a painful irni-ression in the court.
The defence set up for the prisoner was that he had
acted in self-defenea ; but the jury declared him guilty,
and the Court sentenced him to ire years' bard la-
bour.

MALTA.

We have advices from Malta to t he 31st of Oat.
Admiral Dundas's squadron was s al in port.
According to the Smyrna Impaz, /Val, the shocl
of the earthquake so generally fel: t at and to the
eastward of Malta on the morning of the 12th of
October, seems to have been more vi olent at C.i.udia
than at any other place ; upwards •of 500 persons
have been buried in tho ruins, p cincipally in the
villages.
In the island of Rhodes mount %ins have fallen
down into the plains beneath, en tire villages de-
stroyed, and not a house in to- Nn has escaped
damage. The loss of life is said to amount to some
100 souls.

On the Islands of Halki, Cassos,, and Scarpento
the damage was very considerabl and the vic-
tims amount to 150. Marrnariz ), Daliani, and
neighbouring villages have likewi' silt:fore:l ; but
at Aidin (where its duration was , seconds), and
at Mytelene the damage was tri fling, while at
Beyrout the shock was very slight.. Letters from
Trebizond do not make mention of :it all.

NEUCHATEL.

The declaration of the committee of the Frank-
fort Diet appointed to consider the affair of
Neuchatel amounts to this :—Tho committee re-
commends the Diet to recognise the right to the
principality as conferred on the King of Prussia by
the treaties of 1845 and the protocol of London in
1852. After this recognition by the Diet there
will still remain to be determined the modifications
which that right has undergone since 1815, in con-
sequence of the successive concessions of the Prus-
sian Government, particularly in 1830 and 1848.
This can only, it declares, be the work of a
Congress.

NEW SYSTEM OF LIFE ASSURANCE.

rpHE DIRECTORS of the NATIONAL
ASSURANCE and INTEgTMENr ASSOCIATION invite
attention to the New System of Life Assurance exclusively adopted
by this Assoolatlon, viz., that of allowing Interest on all Premiums
paid, instead of the remote and uncertain system of Bonuses usually
adopted.

BY this plan the Policyholder will secure to himself a constantly
ncreasing annual Income during life,. 1.9 well as the payment of the
sum assured to his representatives at his death.

Tables or Rates specially adapted to this system of Assurance may
be obtained 'at the Office of the Company, 3, Pa 1-mall East, or for-

ARGYLL ROOMS.

This agreeable place of amusement has reopened
for the winter season, under improved manage-
ment. During the recess the magnificent rooms
have undergone alterations and re-decoration in a
style commensurate with the spirit of the age, and
with a view to the increased comfoi t and enjoy-
ment of the visitors. The quadrille band has been
extensively increased, and includes M. Boulcourt,
the celebrated cornet-a-piston player, whose pel-
formances have delighted numerous audiences.
His reputation is almost as great as the renowned
M. Koenig, and be bids fair to successfully rival
him and divide public applause. The fame of M.
Boulcourt on this difficult instrument lia,4 already
arrested public attention, and large numbers are
attracted nightly to hear him. The arrangements
for the future good management of this establish-
ment are such as to inspire confidence and make it
a favourite place of amusement where the tedium
of a winter's evening might be agreeably dispelled.
Perseverance in the course now adopted cannot
fail to be appreciate], and with it enhance the re-
putation of the establishment, and command a
larger share of public patronage than heretofore.

MALTA.

We have advices from Malta to the 31st of Oct.
Admiral Dundas's squadron was still in port.
According to the Smyrna Impartial, the shock
of the earthquake so generally felt at and to the

October, seems to have been more violent at Candia
than at any other place ; upwards of 500 persons
have been buried in thi ruins, principally in the
villages.

In the island of Rhodes mountains have fallen
down into the plains beneath, entire villages de-
stroyed, and not a houso in town has escaped
damage. The loss of life is said to amount to some
100 souls.

On the Islands of Halki, Cassos, and Searpento
the damage was very considerable, and the vic-
tims amount to 150. Marmarizzo, Daliani, and
neighbouring villages have likewise suffered ; but
at Aidin (where its duration was 50 seconds), and
at Myteleno the damage was trifling, while at

THE CAPE OF GOOD' HOPE.

LIVERPOOT ti WEDNESDAY.
The South American Steam N'asigation Com-
pany's vessel Imperatriz, Capt. C ax, has arrived
with advices from the Cape to Oe tuber 3, after a
remarkably quick passage of 32 dal 'S.
The advices by this arrival are of pacific nature.
The screw steamer Cleopatra, .0 Pith troops, had
arrived out.

The Cape Town, Mail states :
"The accounts from the frontier are' not of a nature
to break the feeling of security which E alms everywhere
to gain ground. One good result folio sing on the heels
of this late panic is the preparation for ,ar in whic'i the
whole frontier line is placed. Queensto,,vn is to be gar-
risoned by the 85th Regiment, recently arrived from the
Manritiug. The 80th Regiment are on their way to Fort
Beaufort, while the various posts have 1)e en strengthened
so as to check any inroad of the Kafir 5, from whatever
quarter they may choose to come. Al re ady the poorer
class of tradesmen have been sufferers 1)3 . the temporary
rise of provisions, the meal per maid, in some instaecee,
receiving an additional value of 103. 'T he dread of ap-
proaching scarcity induced many to lay in a larger stock
than their means rendered convenient„ and the eanse•
quence is that, let their resources evento z‘te as they may,
many a poor man has already been vii d dmised. It has
been surmised that the potato crop is likely to prove a
failure this year. Happily it has never•lorrned the chink
or even a large article of food in this col ony, though the
soil and climate are by no means un'a vourable to its
growth."
The Imperatriz called at St. VE2 cent's on Oct.
21, on which day the Royal Mail steamer Tamar
sailed with the English mails for the, Brazils.
The following vessels of war were a t the Cape on
the 3d of October :—Her Majesty's e hips Seringa-
patam, Castor, Dart, Geyser, and Eill c.
The screw steamer Victor Emmani iel, from Lon-
don, with englines broken down • el 3 Royal Mail
steamer England, short of coals an d provisions ;
the screw steamer Cleopatra, from iverpool ; the
Leander, from Madras for Liverp o of ; the Ellen
Rawson, from London, and the John. Williams were
also at the Cape.
The following were in Algoa Bay —The Star of
Empire, repairing ; the Amigos, uncle r arrest ; the
Anne Jane, the J. W. Sears, the Be nclougb, the
Imogen, the Brougham, the Govern ess, and the
Alicia, for London ; the Emperor an d the Abbot
Daylesford, for Demerara ; and the Jam, n M‘Farlane.
The Imperatriz spoke the following,' vessels ;--On

the 4th of October, in lat. 29 S., long 12 E., the
Lawrence, from Singapore for Liverpool, and the
screw steamer Bahiana, from the Cape of Good
Hope for Liverpool ; on the 25th, in lat. 21 N.,
long. 24 W., the Donald M‘Kay, from Liverpool
for Melbourne, and the Turon, bound south ; and
on the 27th, in lat. 27 N., long. 23 W., the France

To the ELECTORS of the BOROUGH of KINGSTON-
-UPON-HULL,

GENTLEMEN,—
THE well-merited elevation of Mr. Watson to
the Bench having created a vacancy in the represen-
tation of your Borough in the Commons House of Parliament,
I aspire to the honour of succeeding him.
My opinions are essentially Liberal ; I have always enter-
tained and advocated those principles by which the civil and
religious liberties of the people have been established, their
happiness insured, and their social and intellectual condition
=proved.
The wealth and prosperity of your great town, depending,
as they do, upon unrestricted commerce, must have led you
to appreciate and value the benefits of the important princi-
ple of Free Trade, and to desire to see that principle carried
to its fullest extent. There are many measures essential to
that object, all of which, with a due regard to legally vested
interests, I should cordially support.
I should advocate a considerable extension of the Parlia-
mentary Franchise, believing that the increasing intelligence
of the masses entitles them to be trusted with the selection of
those who are to represent them in the Legislature ; and in
order that the voter should have the free and unfettered exer-
cise of such privilege, it is essential, I think, to give him the
protection and security of the Ballot.
Civil and religious liberty requires yet to be fully vindi-
cated by the admission of the Jew to Parliament.
Had I been in Parliament I should have voted for the Bill
introduced by Sir William Clay for the abolition of Church
Rates, and I hope to see some such measure speedily adopted.
I have seen with pleasure the adoption of measures remov-
ing abuses in our Criminal and Civil Judicature. Many im-
provements are yet required, and my humble efforts should
be at the command of those able lawyers now engaged in the
laudable object of reforming the administration of the law.
I should support the Government of which Lord Pal-
merston IS the head. We are indebted to him for bring-
ing about a Peace, which, though somewhat hastily con-
cluded, will, I trust, be permanent and secure. Clouds
still darken the horizon, and no man can predicate from what
quarter or how soon a storm may come. Should
danger arise, the country will, I believe, have more confi-
dence in the safety of the vessel of the State while his ex-
perienced hand is on the helm.—l have the honour to be,
Gentlemen, your obedient and faithful servant.
EDWIN JAMES.

Miss Catherine Hayes was the glory and triumph
of the whole entertainment. Her reception by the
vast concourse assembled last night iu her Majesty's
Theatre was a fitting climax to her unexampled
series of successes in Europe, Asia, America, Cali
fornia, and Australia. The beautiful young Irish
songstress has returned from her victorious tour
of the world, if possible, in better voice, certainly
with a more astonishing command of its wonderful
capabilities than when she last sang to the de-
lighted ears
.of the admiring Londoners. It were
difficult to say in which instance her vocal triumphs
of last evening appeared the most remarkable. An
exquisite tenderness and pathos characterised her
scena from the " ProplAte''' of Meyerbeer.
Ah ! mon fils sois beni, ta pauvro mere,
Te fut plus chore quo ta Bertha, quo ton amour.
Ah, mon fils to viens, helas ! de donuer pour ta mere
Plus quo la vie en dounant ton honheur.
Ah ! mon fils, quo vers le ciel s'6leve ma prire,
Et sois koini clans le Seigneur, mon fils Jean, oh ! solo ben'.

An astonishingly florid and capricious grace gave
a charm to the famous aria from Oa Sonnambula
of Bellini

Come per me sereno,
Oggi rinacqno it di !
Come it terren fiori come,
Fioii pin bello e arneao.
Mai, di pin lieto aspetto,
Nature non brillo arnor,
La colora am,)r dol mio dilotto.

At the close of her impassioned delivery of Moore's
immortal melody, " The Harp that once," a tumult
of applause attested the power of the vocalist--
applause above which rose a rapturous cry of " God
bless her" from the lips of au unmistalz.eable Pat-
lander. In her instance encore followed encore
almost to tediousness. Her incomings, being the
signal for fresh acclamations, and her outgoings
being greeted by a literal shower of exotics.
Otherwise, however, than in her regard, the
performances were not in any degree very remark-
able. It is again a matter 'of regret to us to note
the fact that the first night of M. Jullien's Con-
certs was the occasion of a series of rows disgrace-
ful to many a vulgar gent among the snobs who
incommoded the more respectable portion of the
promenaders.
Heartily do we hope that the police authorities
will adopt more stringent measures, with a view
to the suppression of those low and blackguard
disturbances. Of these same miserable snob-riots
M. Jullien is himself rendered, most ungratefully
on the part of the public, the principal victim. He
deserves, we cannot but think, from that English
public some more thankful and respectful consi-
deration.

enemy on the 12th inst. near the city, repulsed
them, driving them back to Massaya, where 11,
battle was fought, lasting until midnight. At day'
break a courier arrived from Granada, stating that
1,400 Guatemalans and natives were besieging that
place. Walker, on receiving this information,
mediately marched to the relief of Granada, and
arrived on the heights surrounding the city on the
morning of the 13th, at 10 o'clock, and, finding
the city blockaded by the whole force of the enemy,
he charged upon theni and drove them from their
posts, capturing their commanders and all their
field pieces, and routing them from the city With
great slaughter. The total loss of the enemy wag
1,100; Walker's loss was 16 killed and 30 wounded;
Walker would immediately march or, Massaya and
Leon. His troops were in the highest spiritF.
The citizens of Granada held the Government
buildings 22 hours against the force of the enact'',
and were vigorously defending the place when
General Walker arrived. Messrs. Lawless, Wheeler,
and Ferguson, American citizens, who have had
no connection with Nicaraguan affairs, were ma'
dered by the natives.
A telegraphic despatch from New York of the,

THE IRON AND COAL TRADES.—More disasters are dis-
turbing the districts of South Staffordshire and East Wor-
cestershire. The partial stoppage of Fos, Henderson, and
Co., of the London Works, near Birmingham, and cense•
quent upon a foundry near Wordsley, has created consi-
derable anxiety, as no one knows what such suspensions
may lead to. Preliminary meetings of some of the credi-
tors of the firms alluded to have been held, and the whole
of them will be called together in a few days to examine
the state of their affairs, and to decide whether
or not time shall be given them for payment and
also the carrying on of their works. Several ironmasters
who can do so have agreed to blow out some of their
furnaces and reduce their snake, as they find it impos-
sible to sell pig-iron at present rates to realise anything
like a fair margin of profit, and to stock pigs would be
unwise at the present high rate of material. We stated
some time ago that the tightness of the money market
would operate prejudicially upon the trade; this has
come to pass, high rates are being exacted for good bills,
and great caution is being exercised by the local banks
as to what paper they discount. The iron trade is again
undergoing a refining process, and it is • hoped that the
ordeal through which some will have to pass will be the
, means of ultimately benefitting the trade rather than
otherwise.— Wo/rerhampton Chronicle.

LATEST NE WS.

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says :

" A private letter from Berlin says that Prus-
sia, Russia, and France are agreed on requiring
the evacuation of the Principalities by the Aus-
trians, and of the Black Sea by the English
squadron.

"It has been rumoured for some days back
that the French fleet was about to proceed to the
Black Sea. This, I believe, is not certain ; the
feet may, perhaps, leave Toulon, but it is not
probable it will go so far."

Egypt and Syria. Prince Pierre Bonaparte, who
left Calvi, his usual place of residence, to visit
Paris, is now living at Auteuil, and will return to
Corsica in a moith."

A decree in-the Moniteur makes one promotion
to the rank of officer and four nominations to that
of knight in the Legion of Honour among the
medical staff of the navy.
A Paris letter, in the Courrier de Marseilles,
states that a marriage is talked of as probable be-

SOUTHWARK.

ROBBING A SAlLOB.—Charlotte Holland, a young
girl about 18 years of age, was brought before Mr.
Burcham charged with stealing a 51. Bank of England
note and 203. in silver from the person of Benjamin
Procter.

The prosecutor, a jolly-looking Jack tar, stated that
a short time ago he was paid off at Southampton,
and on the previous day he came up to London to see
some friends. As soon as he left the railway he strolled
into Tooley-street to partake of refreshments, and fell
in -with some old shipmates. After he had left them
he ran foul of the prisoner, whom be accompanied to.
her lodgings in Tathill•court. He sent for some gin,
and then be had a 51. note in his matoh•box and about
20s. in silver. On getting up about 7 o'clock he missed
the prisoner from the room, and on examining
his clothes he also missed the bank note and
all his silver money. He immediately went to look after
the prisoner, and found her in bed with another female
in a room up:stairs. Witness then called in a constable
and gave her into custody, but his money could not be
found.

Mr. Burnham asked him what state he was in when
he met the prisoner ?

Prosecutor replied that he was drunk, but at the same
time he knew his money was safe when he was in the
house with her.

Mr. Burcham asked what sort of a house it was that
they went to?

Police constable 72 M, who took her into custody, said
it wai a brothel of the very worst description, kept by a
very bad character named Hill.

The prisoner denied all knowledge of the prosecutor.
She never saw him until he came up into her bedroom
and charged him with robbing her.
The prosecutor was recalled, and, in answer to the
worthy magistrate, said that he was not so drunk when
he fell in with the prisoner as not to know her again.
lie was positive that she was the female who robbed him,
and no one else.

Mr. Burcham said that, under all the circumstances,
he should remand the prisoner until Saturday next, to
enable the police to make further inquiries. Perhaps
the house had better be more carefully searched.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
The South Ameriean Steam Navigation Com-
pany's vessel Imperatriz, Capt. Cox, has arrived
with advices from the Cape to October 3, after a
remarkably quick passage of 32 days.
The advices by this arrival are of a pacific nature.
The screw steamer Cleopatra, with troops, had
arrived out.

The Cape Town Mail states :
" The accounts from the frontier are not of a nature
to break the feeling of security which seems everywhere
to gain ground. One good result following on the heels
of this late panic is the preparation for war in which the
whole frontier line is placed. Queenstown is to be gar-
risoned by the 35th Regiment, recently arrived from the
Mauritius. The 80th Regiment are on their way to Fort
Beaufort, while the various posts have been strengthened
so as to check any inroad of the Kafirs, from whatever
quarter they may choose to come. Already the poorer
class of tradesmen have been sufferers by the temporary
rise of provisions, the meal per maid, in Some instances,
receiving an additional value of 103. The -head of ap-
proaching scarcity induced many to lay in a larger stock
than their means rendered convenient, and the conse.
quenco is that, let their resources eventua,e as they may,
many a poor Irian has already been victimised. It has
been surmised that the potato crop is likely to prove a
failure this year. Happily it has never formed the chi,-4
or even a large article of food in this colony, though the
soil and climate are by no means unfavourable to its
growth."
The Imperatriz callA at St. Vincent's on Oct.
21, ma which day the Royal Mail steamer Tamar
sailed with the English mails for the Brazils.
The following vessels of war were at the Cape on
the 3d of October :—Her Majesty's ships Seringa-
patam, Castor, Dart, Geyser, s;v:1
The screw steamer Victor Emmanuel, from Lon-
don, with engines broken down ; the Royal Mail
steamer England, short of coals and provisions ;
the screw steamer Cleopatra, from Liverpool ; the
Leander, from Madras for Liverpool ; the Ellen
Rawson, from London, and the John Williams were
also at the Cape.
The following were in Algoa Bay :—The Star of
Empire, repairing ; the. Amigos, under arrest ; the
Anne Jane, the J. W. Sears, the Benclough, the
Imogen, the Brougham, the Governess, and the
Alicia, for London ; the Emperor and the Abbot
Daylesford, for Demerara ; and th e Jean M'Farl an e.
The Lnperatriz spoke the following vessels :—On

the 4th of October, in lat. 29 S., long 12 E., the
Lawrence, from Singapore for Liverpool, and the
screw steamer Bbiana, from the Cape of Gcod
Hope for Liverpool ; on the 25th, in lat. 21 N.,
