LATER FROM GREYTOWN.

We are indebted to the Panama Railway Com-
pany's telegraph operator for late news from Grey-
town by the R. W. I. M. steamer Trent, which
arrived at Aspinwall on the 18th February. The
British ' ship Diadem had left for Jamaica; it is
believed that she carries the British treaty with
Nicaragua. The Valorous has succeeded in getting
outside. Her captain states that where she lay the
river had shoaled six feet during the last three
months. The British steamers are obliged to re-
main outside, being afraid to cross the bar.

THE LA= COLOIVEL TAIT.

It is well worthy of notice that Col. Tait, C. 8.,
brother of the Bishop of London, whose death has
just taken place, rendered great service at the pas-
sage of the river Chenab, by Sir Joseph Thaekwell.
That excellent officer was the first to cross that
difficult river at the head of his regiment, the 3d
Irregular Cavalry, in which enterprise some troopers
found a watery grave. He secured the ford of
Ghurreepu Putteen, over which reinforcements
were to cross, a matter of overwhelming import-
ance ; and contributed much towards the successful
termination of the action of Sadoolapore, where
the Sikli army, under Shere Sing, was repulsed
with great loss by Thackwell's small detachment.

COMPLIMENTARY BENEFIT TO MR. W. COOKED JIM.

The friends and admirers of this talented young artist,
having a sympathetic desire to congratulate him on his
return to his professional duties, have formed themselves
into a committee to give him a free benefit ; expressing, as
they believe it will, the satisfaction of the public, as well as
their pleasure at his providential recovery from the effects
of his late severe accident. The evening fixed for the
occasion is Saturday next, the 26th inst., when the enter-
tainments will commence with the operatic drama of " Guy
Mannering," in which Miss Rebecca Isaacs, Mr. Paul
Bedford, Mr. W. Eburne, and Miss Laidlaw, who have
volunteered their services, will sustain the principal parts.
In addition to a very long list of attractions in the circle,
Mr. W. E. Maclmey will introduce his ever popular Trans-
atlantic melodies, and Mr. J. G. Forde, the comical effu-
sionist, will open his budget of modern comicalities. We
trust the exertions of the committee will be crowned with
the most triumphant success.
