over those tribes.

The King of Naples has published a new decree,
extending to the 30th June, 1860, the period for
the free admission into his dominions of wheat,
flour, and other articles of food. It appears from
this fact that the harvest in the kingdom of the
TWO Sicilies is not so good as was expected.
Great anxiety prevails in France with respect
to the vintage. The gathering of the grapes com-
menced some days since in Languedoc, and a good
half average crop is expected. The prices asked

PLYMOUTH, MONDAY MORNING.

The Royal Mail steamship Celt, Captain Brown,
has arrived. She left the Cape, August 21st; St.
Helena, Au7ust 30th; and Ascension, September 3d.
The colonial papers are full of expressions of
regret at the departure of the ex-Governor Sir
George Grey, who landed here from the Celt this
morning. The horses were taken from his carriage
at Government-house, and it was drawn by the in-
habitants under triumphal arches to the place of
embarcation. Salutes were fired, and when on
board, his Excellency received addresses from all
the public bodies.
The Celt brings a petition to her Majesty, signed
by 2,000 colonists, praying for the restoration of
Sir George Grey.

The Trans Vaal and Free States are in a state of
peace. _

Natal is flourishing.

The Boscawen has returned from her cruize to
the west coast. The Persian and Lyra are on the
east coast. The Hermes and Brisk are in Simon's
Bay.

Great drought was experienced in the colony, and
provisions were very dear in consequence of it.
News had been received from Dr. Livingstone
up to June 1. The Doctor had been very successful
in exploring the Zambesi and the Shire, and found
them navigable far into the interior, amidst dis-
tricts very favourable for colonisation. •
The Vasco de Gama, which rescued the crew of
the Shah Jehan, has arrived in St. Helena. Captain
Mawreau reports that he saved 64, viz., the cap-
tain, officers, and crew—all the coolies 350
perished. The Shah Jehan was bound to the 1V est
Indies, and was burnt at sea July 1. The crew

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING,

The royal mail steamship Africa, Captain Shan-
non, from Nuw York on the 14th inst., arrived in
the Mersey this morning, bringing 70 passengers
and 394,266 dols. in specie.
Oa the 16th inst. she passed a largo steamer,
supposed to be the Persia.
The steamship Ocean Queen, from Southampton,

A great fire had occurred at Halifax, Nova Scotia.
A large number of buildings were destroyed in
Hollis-street, Granville-street, and Barrington-

By the arrival of the steamship North Star at New
York we learn that a revolution has taken place in
Costa Rica. President Mora was seized in his bed,
and carried off to Guatemala. He was accompanied
by his brother, General Mora, and his minister,
Canas. Senor Martelleagro was chosen provisional
president of Costa Rica. Lorenzo Salazar, com-
mander of the troops at San Jose, was the chief of
the eon spirators.
It appears by the statement of the purser of the
steamship Lenia; arrived at Panama, that the people
of Guayaquil, without the assent of the government
of Ecuador, have made terms with the commander of
the Peruvian blockading force. He says an amnesty
(probably an armistice) has been concluded, to last
fifteen days. From this it is fair to suppose that
the vexed question which caused the blockade will
soon be settled.

A large mass of documents had been received at
Washington from General Harney relative to the
San Juan Island dispute, embracing copies of his
correspondence with Governor Douglas.
Latest advices from Utah territory state that the
election for delegate to Congress had resulted in th•
choice of W. H. Hooper Morgan. A party:of 42
United States dragoons had surprised a band of 150
Indians, concerned in the late massacre of California
emigrants, and had killed 20 of their number.
Another action was anticipated.

The general features of the Money-market are
inaction and uncertainty.

DEATH OF PROFESSOR ALISON.—WO regret to
notice the death of 1)r. William Pulteney Alison, late Pro-
fessor of the Practice of Physic in the University of Edin-
burgh, which took place at Edinburgh in the end of last
week The deceased, who was born in 1790, was the brother
of Sir Arch. Alison, the historian, and was the son of the
Rev. Archibald Alison, an Episcopal clergyman in Edit),
burgh, who about the end of last century obtained a con-
siderable literary reputation by tho publication of his
Es: ys on Taste." Dr. W. P. Alison, who had while a
young' man shown the highest talent in and devotion to his
pr,fes:;ion as a medical practitioner. was as early as 1820
chosen by the Edinburgh Town Council to fill the chair of
Medical Jurisprudence in the University there, and was
,uccessively promoted to chairs of still higher importance,
until in 1812 he was appointed Professor of the Practice of
Physic. This chair ho held till 1855, when ho resigned
owing to ill-health, being succeeded in it by Dr. Thomas
Laycock. The deceased was not only for many years one
of the heads of the medical profession at Edinburgh, and
gained for himself a wide reputation by the publication of
var;ous works, but he was still better known in his own
immediate sphere by his unbounded benevolence and phi-
lanthropy. For some yea-rs back, suffering under a linger-
ing illness which he endured with much resignation, he
had necessarily withdrawn from active professional pur-
suits, and lived in retirement in a quiet suburb of the town.
Now that he is gone his memory will long bo cherished
with a degree of affection and admiration which are the
posthumous inheritance of few. Ho will long be remem-
bered as ono of the most humane, the most upright, and j:
the most amiable of men.
