AMERICAN NEWS

The news brought by the iittruboldt is of three
days later date than that kst received, but it contains
little of interest.
Financiel affairs were assumiug a more healthy
appearance, and prospects were brightening through-
out the country.
The Spat ish Government has sent a special envoy
to Washington. The Au.: York Times on this sub-
ject says:—
" There is a great deal of speculation afloat about
the probable upshot of the special Spanish Envoy's
visit to Washington. All that appears to be known
is that such a messenger is on his way thither ; that
he goes backed up with a subscription paper bearing
the signatures and counter-signatures of Victoria R.,
Paltner,ton, and Louis Napoleon ; that a guarantee
of the independence of Cuba is to be demanded ; and
that Mr. Webster will have the handling of the man
and the matter. The impression is prevalent that
Chevalier Halsemann is likely to have a smpathizing

We have advices from Chagres to the 9th of Sep •
temberf and, in reference to the Panama railway, it is
stated that—
" The connexion of the Panama Railroad to Gatun
was to take place on Friday, October 10, or Saturday,
the 11th, as, at the time of the sailing of the Illinois
there remained only 400 feet to be filled in, and they
were making that distance daily. The engineers
confidently expect to have the rock laid, and run the
locomotive through to Gatun, on Saturday, the 12th
inst. The absence of the usual amount of rain has
enabled them to push the road through with dispatch.
"We understand that the whole of the force will
now be put on the line above Gatun, in order to
finish to Gorgona as soon as possible. Among the
passengers per Illinois are seven persons, who have
made at the mines 100,000 dollars."
Fresh robberies had taken place on the Isthmus of
Panama, and one of the. New York papers contains
the following :
" The great specie train of the Pacific Mail Steam-
ship Company was robbed on Saturday, after leaving
Panama, seven miles on the way. The news flew
like electricity through Panama, and merchants,
officers, and soldiers, forthwith started in hot pursuit.
"After riding seven miles, Captain Garrison and
his friends came up with the train, and found it in the
wildest confusion. Three of the guard had been shot
by the robbers, and were lying on the road side. Two
were found dying, shot in breast, and the other
badly wounded.
" The robbers had made off with one box of gold-
dust, but, delayed by the heavy box, the pursuers
soon overhauled them, when they abandoned the box
and fled. Two of the robbers were captured.
" Thomas Summers, from New York city, was one
of them. A rope was put about his neck, and Lynch
law was making the last of him; when be begged for
his life, and promised to tell all if they would not
hang him, when he did tell the whole story and all
the persons engaged with him.
" Another party of the pursuers overtook Charles
Cromwell, an intelligent coloured gentleman from
New York. He too begged hard for his life, and
they spared him after he made full confessions, but
not until he had been half hung some ten minutes.
" Two other persons captured were Dr. Berry, of
New Orleans, and Laban Manning, of Illinois. There
are also in prison, Dr. Burt, or Burk, one Mireraud
and one Degnant, residence unknown. There are
five here still at large, but who, it is said, cannot
escape.
" The robbers had been informed, and believed,
that the specie train had in it 2,000,000 dollars.
" One of the guard shot, died in a short time.
Thirty-six buckshot, it is said, were taken from his
body."
The news brought by the Illinois furnished some
important information regarding, the whaling fleets.
It is as follows :
" The following vessels are reported as being totally
lost this season :
" The Ajax, of Havre ; total loss.
" The Aramatta, of New London ; total loss.
" The Henry Thompson, of New London ; total

loss.
" The Arabella, of New Bedford ; total loss.
" The New Bedford, of New Bedford ; total loss.
" The America, of New Bedford ; total loss.
" The Cosmopolite, of France ; total loss.
" The Mary Mitchell, of San Francisco ; total loss.
" It appears that the whole whaling fleet had win-
tered in the Gulf of Anadir, in the northern part of
the sea of Kamchatka, in Russia in Asia, and, on the
coming on of spring, had set sail for Behring's Straits,
but, in attempting to pass through into the Arctic
Ocean, the fleet was environed by ice, and the above-
named vessels were totally wrecked.
" The crews of the destroyed vessels are reported
to have reached the main land in safety ; but it is
said that in some disturbances afterwards with the
natives, 11 of the whalemen lost their lives.
" The John Wells is stated to have bottle evidence
cf the severe navigation she had encountered. Her
spars were nearly all gone, her bull more or less
damaged, and she had scarcely is sheet of copper upon
her.

" (The John Wells was the first whaler ever sent
from Newark.)
" It was supposed that some sixty more vessels had
shared the fate of those mentioned above, and it was
quite impossible to tell how many more would be
likely to be lost in their attempts to escape from
the ice.
" The general result of this season's whale fishing
is set down as a total failure. The following vessels
have done nothing:—

" Ship John Wells, clean this season.
" Ship Neptune, New London, clean this season,
August 1.
" Ship Magnolia, New Bedford, clean this season,
August 1.
It Ship A. H. Howland, clean this season, Aug. 1.
" Ship Vinegard, Martha's V., 450 sperm., clean
this season.
" The whole fleet is believed to have done little if
any better.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
his Royal Highness Prince Albert has addressed
an autograph letter to the Marquis of Anglesey,
Master-General of the Ordnance, acknowledging in
the handsomest terms the services of the Engineer
corps employed at the Crystal Palace. The Sippers
are to hav e the money voted to them by the Royal
Commission in the shape of
presents. They are also,
we understand, to receive service medals, and the po-

Some valuable information has been derived from
the Exhibition
oc-
cupations of the people.
There now remains in the building not more than
census
re-
turns, and
500 or GOO British exhibitors, but the foreigners have
made comparatively slow progress in their arrange-
ments for departure, and many of them seem reluc-
tant to leave. Others, however, are distinguished
fur their alacrity ill this respect, and it is an honour-
able characteristic of the Swiss and the Tunisians
especially that they Lave been more prompt both in
their arrival and in their departure than any other
country.
Cogan's model of the Great Exhibition building is
