BURNER, the great desideratum of the age to all con-
sumers of Gas. By its use the objections to the introduction
of Gas into private dwellings are removed, inasmuch as every
particle of gas, on reaching the orifice of the burner, is fairly
consumed, and thus the diffusion of those noxious vapours so
injurious to health, and destructive to works of art, bindings
of books, &c., is entirely prevented.
The burner can be fitted by the most inexperienced hand to
any chandelier or bracket.
May be had at the Depot, 69, Fleet-street, E.C., price Two
Shillings each : one sent on receipt of 30 postage stamps.

The project submitted by the French Government
in reference to the right of search question merely,
proposes friendly visitation where there is good
*Anse for suspicion that the vessel is a slaver. The
United States Government do not object to this, but
they will hold the visiting parties responsible for any
misconduct or violation of their maritime rights.
A slaver's tender was supposed to be hovering off
the coast of Louisiana, and a revenue cutter had been
despatched from Mobile to intercept her.
Fifteen or twenty lives had been lost on the Ohio

de Costa Rica in her Majesty's steamer Vixen with
the Nicaraguan treaty, which had been signed by

troduced into it to the effect that none of the,stipu-
lations of the treaty should be construed as bearing
any decision upon the right of Nicaragua to the
territory held by the Mosquitans.
At Punta Arenas a severe epidemic existed which
had carried off a number of persons. Freights had

Via Havannah we learn of the wreck, on the 4th
ult., of a vessel supposed to be her Majesty's gun-
boat Jaseur Lieutenant Scott, on the Ronconebas
Reef, 200 miles to the south-east of Jamaica. The
crew, 70 in number, had only time to get into two
small boats, with little or no provisions, and two
days' allowance of water. The boats, without compass
or charts, attempted to steer for Jamaica, but owing
to the, strong winds, which during the next night
increased into a gale, they became separated, and
were driven about at the mercy of the waves. On
the 10th ult. a boat, in which were five officers and
20 men, in the most deplorable condition from ex-
posure to the scorching sun of the tropics for so
many days without food or water, was fallen in
with by some Spanish fishermen, who most
humanely rescued the perishing Englishmen and
conveyed them to their little village, called Santa
Cruz, where every attention and kindness were
lavished upon them by those poor, but warm-
hearted Cubans. Captain-General Concha had
despatched one steamer to convey the rescued men
to Jamaica and another to explore the coast for the
missing party.
Sugars were quiet but firm at Havannah on the

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 9.

The Cunard screw steamship Etna, Anderson,
Commander, arrived to-day-from New York, with
advices to the 28th ult. and 100,500 dols. in specie
on freight.
On the Ist inst., in a gale of wind, the Etna
passed the ship Baltic, of New York, and during
the night of the Bth experienced a dense fog, pass-
ing many vessels sounding fog horns, bells, &c.
The Royal mail steamship Niagara. hence, and
the Cunard steamship Alps, hence, arrived at Hali-
fax on the 27th ult.

The Washington despatch for the New York
Herald reports that the United States' Government
has failed to come to any definite understanding
with the British Government regarding the right
of search or visit. The former are said to have de-
clined to yield any point, and the latter to submit
any new plan. A project, emanating from the
French Government, which is said to be acceptable
to the Government of the United States, is to be
submitted to the British Government.

The cook and cabin boy of the bark C. A Raw-
lins, which was captured at St. Joseph's by the
United States' steamer Vixen on suspicion of being
engaged in the slave trade, are reported to have
made a confession, in which they allege that a
Spanish captain who was on board, and who was to
have had the command on the vessel's reaching a
certain part of the coast of Cuba, had been mur-
dered by the American captain who was in charge
when they left Havannah. It was currently re-
ported in Savannah that the Rawlins, previous to
her capture, had landed some 600 Africans some-
where on the coast of Florida, but it was not sup-
posed to be the fact. In Georgia a number of
negroes, said to be a part of those landed, had been
captured and placed in prison. At a meeting in
Holmesville, Georgia, on the 9th ult., a resolution
had been adopted declaring that all laws of the
Federal Government interdicting the right of the
Southern people to import slaves from Africa were
unconstitutional and violative of the rights of the
South; were null and void, and a disgrace to the
statute-book.
Advices from Venezuela to the llth'ult. had been
received. Peace was again disturbed. The pro-
vince of Coro had declared in favour of the Federal
Government, and had taken up arms in the cause.
Several exiles had left Curacoa to join their friends-
General Zamora, who had left Curacoa to take com-
mand of the troops at Coro, was reported to have
taken the field. Maracaibo, on the 6th ult., was
quiet, but a revolt was expected. Generael Paez
had not recovered.

for San Francisco sprang a leak January the 29th, bore
away for Ninilatt Sound, where she was seized on the Ist
of February by Indians, the Captain and crew taken priso-
ners and detained 10 days, and the vessel burned.
The Bamaere, which cleared from New Orleans on the
sth ult. for Havre, and had been since detained at the bar,
during a heavy squall from the S.W., was, by the dragging
of the anchors of a ship (name unknown), run into, had her
stern split to below the water-line, and received such other
damage as caused her to return to that city on the 19th for
repairs.
A boat, containing Captain Good win and four of the crew
of the ship Agamemnon, from Liverpool for Baltimore, re-
ported as having gone ashore five miles south of Currituck
Inlet in about 13 fathoms water, was picked on the 26th
ult., about 12 miles south of Body Island, by the Patapsco,
from Charleston for Baltimore. When the Patapsco came
up to the vessel, about 1 p.m., the rest of the crew were un-
bending the foretopsail, the main and mizen masts had gone
over the side, and the ship was full of water. Captain
Goodwin then took his boat and, with the crew, went on
board.

The New Orleans Crescent of the 21st ult. says :—" The
accounts received on Saturday morning from the Passes
state the highest water there to be only 13ft. to 13ift. on the
bar. The following ships worked over, and went to sea
during the last high water :—The Bannockburn, the Man-
chester, and the Lady Sale, for Liverpool—the Lochinvar,
for Antwerp—the Charles Devonport, for Naples—the
Mary, for Havre—the Troy, for Boston.
Outward-bound vessels are daily accumulating. There
were 44 ships at the South-West Pass and six in Pass
L'Outre, outward bound, and from 20 to 25 bound in.
The cotton now detained at the mouth of the river
amounts to 130,000 bales.
There are in port 70 vessels loading for Liverpool and
other European ports, many of which are prepared, or can
be prepared in a short time, for sea. Some have filled up,
and are ready to clear; others waiting the removal of the
bar obstructions. _ .

250,000 bales of cotton, including the quantity at the
bar, are detained from market, and, from appearances,
may, with other produce, be detained until June or July.
The latest [accounts say that the bar is-improving, slid
the vessels detained there would get over in a few days if
the wind continued favourable."
