The Confederate war steamer Sumter, which has
done such damage to Federal merchant shipping, was built
at Montreal. She was first called the Colon and afterwards
the Marquis de Habana. She is a screw steamer, 437 tons
burden, 180 feet long, and 30 feet beam. She is armed
with eight 32-pounder rifle cannon, and one 82-pounder
rifled. Her bulwarks are so constructed that her armament
cannot be perceived by passing vessels. She ran the block-
ade of New Orleans on the 30th of June last, although the
Federal man-of-war Boocklyn was watching her. The
following are amongst the Federal ships which have been
captured by tho Sumter, viz., the Golden Rocket, the Cuba,
the Machiaso, the Ben Dunning, the Albert Adams, the
West Wind, the Louisa Reiman, the Naiad, and the Abby
Bradford. Tho Federal man-of-war Crusader, Niagara,
Keystone State, Powhattan, and Iroquois have been sent
in pursuit of her. The Sumter, it is reported, was captured
off Barbadoes by tho Powhattan or Iroquois about the Ist
Oct. Her commander was Caytain Raphael Semmes.
The Professorship of Mathematics at the govern-
ment College at Agra, in Upper India, has been declared
vacant. It is announced that candidates must have been
wranglers at Cambridge, ov within the first half of the list
of senior optimes. The stipend is 350 rupees per month
(about £l2O a-year), and 1,200 rupees are to be allowed in
lieu of passage money and outfit.
THE WESTERN FISHERIES.—During the past
week various quantities of fish have been taken on the
Devonshire and Cornish coasts. At the Newquay fishery
the boats have taken from 1,000 to 7,C00 fish per boat. At
Porthleven hook-and-line fish have been plentiful, but no
great catch of pilchards has taken place. Large shoals
have been seen in the bay, but they were too deep. At
Newlyn the pilchard is given up for the season, and the
seines are hauled up.
