THE MEDITERRANEAN.

The Teviot steam-ship, belonging to the Royal
Mail Company, and commanded by Captain Charles
Taylor, arrived at Sou thamptou yes'erday morn-
ing, shortly after 6 o'clock. She left Alexandria
on the 28th ult., and Malta on the 2d iust. The
Teviot brings 80 first-class passengers and four ser-
vants. Among the passengers are Capt. and Mrs.
Scott and child, Mr. Croasdill and family, Mr. and
Mrs. Coveny and family, and Mr. and Miss Tuck,
from Sydney ; Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Bailey and ftmily, Mr. and Mrs.
J truieson, Mr. and Mrs. Fairb tira and family,
Irom Melbourne; Lieut. C. Read, Mr. W. Sabou-
radiare, and Mr. John Lamb, from Galte ; Mr.
Gilbertson, from Alexandria. On freight she has
49 boxes of specie, value 207,480/. ; also 38 hales
of wool, three bales of flax, two boxes jewellery,
and 30 packages < f sundries.
H.M S. Medina and the usual Egyptian fleet
were in harbour at Alexandria.
The fleet under the command of Admiral Lord
Lyons sailed from Malta on the Ist inst. for Corfu.
Her Majesty's steamer Simoom and the Royal
Mtn. steamer Wye were at Malta.
In consPqn•qice of the very severe weather ex-
perieaced by the Teviot on her outward voyage she
did not reach Alexandria until the rn,,rning of the
28th ult. when she found that the Australian mails,
which had reached that port from Suez on the 25th,
had been forwarde i to Southampton by the Penin-
sular and Oriental Company's steamer Benares,
winch left the evening b(-fore the Teviot's arrival.
'Lle result of the present failure, so far as British in-
terests are concerned, is that a delay of 24, and
in many cases 41 hours is incurred in the delivery
of our Australian correspondence after its arrival in
England, the whole of the mails having had to be
seat to London for distribution. The commercial
public and the community in general having de-
rived great benefit from the new arrangement of
sorting these mails on board during the voyAge
home from Alexandria, so as to be rea.ly for distri
butiou immediately on the steatner's arrival at
Southampton, much disappointment is naaorally
felt upon this occasiim, and it is hoped that imme-
diate steps will be taken to prevent the recurrence
of so serious an irregularity. We understand that
efforts are being made at Sydney and elsewhere to
organise a mail communication between the colo-
nies and England, via Panama.

EL LOTION INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Standard.)
In anticipation of the not improbable occurrence
of an early dissolution of Parliament, we have made
arrangements for supplying our readers with the
earliest and most authentic information as to the
changes likely to occur at the various constituen-
cies throughout the kingdom.
TRURO.—We are informed that Mr. Rolt, late
M.P. for Greenwich, and Sir Joshua Rowe, late
chief justice at Jamaica, are likely to offer them-
selves for this borough, in support of the Govern-
111€ ht.

FALMOUTH.---TWO Conservatives will offer them-
selve2 for this borough.
ROCHESTEII.—We believe that Mr. G. H.
Money,will again present himself to the electors on
the Conservative interest.

FIELSTON. —Admiral Sir Thomas Herbert has
been requested to offer himself for this borough.
STRoUD.—Mr. foreman's election will be op-
posed.
BANBURY.—Mr. Hardy, brother of the Under
Secretary for the Home Department, has accepted
the invitation of the electors .of this borough.
BERWICK ON-TWEED. —Captain Gordon's election
is considered certain.
YARMOUTIL—Sir Edmund Lacon, with a Con-
serva-ive colleague, will regain their seats
WEXFORD COUNTY .—Mr. George, Q. C., is al-
ready iu the field for this county, whic'i hs so ably
represented in the last Parliament. The welt was
only lost at the last el«-ction by the apathy of cer-
tain Conservatives of high rank and stall:ling. We
are informed that this is not likely to occur again,
aril that Mr. George has secured the unanimous
and cordial support of the whole Conservative body
in the county.

WATERFORD COUNTY.—A conservative candi-
date will come forward for this county with almoit
a certain yof secceess. Mr. Flutchinsou's defeat
by 32 in 1852 will on this oieasion be amply re-
trit,ved.

ATHLONE. —Tho ralway interest will not be
found paramount in this bor,tugh. A gentleman
of p )sitiou and ch..) ac; er is prepared to give the
elect ors au opperiuuity of a 3 erring their indepen-
dence. .

NEWRY, s 3 long the itrongliold of Conservatism,
will, at the next election, add to the list of Irish
Con•ervative mmb Ts. Mr. Kirk's return is re-
gardel ns inapossOle against the camlidato who
.
will be the field in a few days.
CORK COUNTY. —This county will 1:10 longer con-
sent to be r.-p; esented be twos rangurs. A geutl, -
in!n of high influence a', d property in the c linty
will offer himsilf, wAa every prospect of succen.
DROGUE: A.—We have reason to know that a can-
didwe is prepared to add.ie,s the electors ,f this
who will combine the moderate and
er,,ative inter, sis in his favour, and we may trust
to ti,e present G-avernment to take measures to pre-
vent a rei,elitiG,n of that viol,,nce which prevented
Captain Moose's success in 1857.

Sir Charles Rushout and Miss Rushout and M
Pamella Rushout have !afro Feutou'a Hotel, fi Seziacot,
