(LEFT SPEAKING.)

The Royal West India Mail Company's steamer
Medway, has arrived at Southampton. She left Havan-
milt on the Ist, Nassau on the 3d, Bermuda on the 7th,
Fayal on the 16th, and' landed her mails at Falmouth
yesterday. This is another instance of a day being lost to
the merchants by it being compulsory on the Company to
land the letters at Falmouth instead of proceeding
direct to Southampton. The steamer has on freight one
million of dollars, and 132 serons of cochineal, with up-
wards of 50 passengers. No letters have been received
ith further particulars, and the captain of the vessel
has not yet arrived by the railway.
A serious breach is reported to exist between the
Right. Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government and
the Noble Lord who presides over the Colonial depart-
ment. ,This has been more than suspected for some
time; and recent circumstances seem to illustrate and
strengthen the fact of its existence. The manner in
which Lord Stanley was put down by Sir Robert Peel
in., the house of Commons, in the act of rising to
speak on an important question, with his papers ar-
ranged, and his notes prepared ibr a set speech, made
a strong impression on the llonse. The Premier
was of course submitted to ; but the effect upon the
Colonial Secretary was manifest. The indignity was
too marked •to be forgotten or forgiven. It is likely
that Sir Robert Peel has no wish it should be. It was
a fine specimen of snubbind. Then came
.the abandon-
ment of Lord Stanley's protege, the late Member for
Belfast, to the damaging motion of Mr. O'Connell,
whom the Premier joined, and thus enabled him to
carry the suspension of the writ for' that borough.
Then followed the announcement by Sir Robert Peel
that Lord Stanley's Irish Registration bill would not be
proceeded Thus virtually negativing the Noble
Lord's case Of flagatint perjury in Ireland, which was Made
the basis of Lord Stanley's Irish Registration measure,
and the source of his Lordship's popularity- with the
Orange party in Ireland. We are assured that the
"fiery Tybalt"- is cherishing serious thoughts of avenging
himself on his chief ; and will probably avail himself of
Mr. Emerson Tennent's withdrawing himself and his
patronage from the Government to carry his designs
into execution.

THE PAVING BOARDS or ST. PANCRAS.—For the
last day or two much interest has been excited in the parish
of St. Pancras by the various contests that have taken place
for the election ~ Commisaioners of Paving and Lighting on
the numerous estates composing the above extensive and opu-
lent parish. That, however, to which the greatest importance
has been attached, and which rartoek more of polities than any
other, is the election of forty-one Commissioners on the South-
ampton laving tryst, which is by far the largest, and embraces
nearly one-third of ' St. Pancras. The contending parties
were, what is called the united list, composed of gentlemen of
all shades of political opinion, and the Chartist or Douglas
party, mho, until the • year before last, when they were ousted
by the parishioners, had .held entire and absolute sway
over the funds of this immense district. Yesterday
afternoon, at four o'clock, pursuant to the Act of Par-
liament, the declaration of the state of he poll took place
at the Commissioners'-rooms, Edward-street, Hampstead-road,
when the Chairman declared the result to be as follows :---For
the united list, proposed by Mr. F. Braithwaite, 794; in the
Chartist list, proposed by Mr. Douglas, 299; majority for the
forrher,49s. The ahhounomeut was hailed with loud cheers. ,
