We see communications established with America
via Galway, and it was but yesterday that the
Pacific arrived from New York via St. John's, New
Brunswick, bringing dates up to the 24th Septem-
ber from New York, six days later than the pre-
vious advices. The Indian Empire, which sailed the
previous day, was completely filled and large quan-
tities of freight necessarily rejected. The advan-
tages of an Irish transatlantic packet station are
thus clearly confirmed, and this must add to the
prosperity, the foundation whereof was laid by the
Act of 1849 for the Sale of Encumbered Estates in
Ireland.

Mr. Hancock, of Bruton-street, has recently re-
set the diamonds of the Princess Woronzow; who, with the
Prince, is now in this country. Amongst the jewels is a
most superb suite of diamonds, some of them of an enor-
mous size, which Mr. Hancock has manufactured into a
diadem, with the capability of detachment into several parts,
the centres being so fixed as to be available as brooches.
This combination of diamonds, from the dexterous manner
In which the parts are attached one to the other, can be
transformed into a necklace. The value of this magnificent
ornament, which, more than any other, is said to excel in
lustre, is upwards of £20,000, and forms the principal jewel
belonging to the illustrious house of Woronzow.—Morning
Post.

ought not to rest where she is, but that she must make
