MAILS FOR THE MAURITIUS.—Under the exist-
ing arrangements, the mails forwarded from this country
to the Mauritius arrive at Port Louis a few days after the
homeward mails have been despatched, and a long interval
has consequently to elapse before replies can be sent to the
letters from England. As an improvement on this state
of things, and to apportion more equally the intervals for
replies at the two ends of the line, the mails for Mauritius
will in future be despatched one week later than at pre-
sent ; viz., via Southampton cn the morning of the 20th of
the month, and via Marseilles on the evening of the 26th of
the month. 'The first mail under the new scheme will be
despatched on the 20th instant. By command of the Post-
master-General. ROWLAND HILL, Secretary,

A particularity of the decree of amnesty just
published iu Spain deserves to be pointed out. Art. 4 de-
clares that all persons detained for having taken part in
attempts against the reigning dynasty and existing insti-
tutions must take an oath of fidelity to the Queen before
they can be set at libery. But the following article adds
that Art. 4 does not comprise such persons as in virtue of
special laws might be excluded from residing in the Spanish
States. "It may be deduced from this clause," says the
Debuts, "that the Infantes, who, according to the royal
order, are to be conveyed to a foreign country, will not be
called on to take the oath in question."
THE SITE OF TYBURN GALLOWS.—The site of
Tyburn gallows has been a frequent subject of discussion
among London antiquaries. It may be interesting to those
who care for such questions to learn that yesterday, in the
course of some excavations connected witn the repair of a
pipe in the roadway, close to the foot pavement along the
garden of this house, at the extreme south-west angle of the
Edgeware-road, the workmen came upon numerous human.
bones. These were obviously the relics of the unhappy
persons buried under the gallows.
