THE RACE FROM ALEXANDRIA TO LONDON:
ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 22.—Mr. Waghorn started from this
port for Trieste at 10 minutes past 11 o'clock on the morning
of the 20 th inst., in a steamer placed at his disposal by the
Austrian Government, and he hopes by that route to antici-
pate the arrival in London of the regular Bombay mail,
which will go through France. The Hon. Company's steamer
Semiramis arrived at Suez with the Bombay mail on the
morning of the 19th, and Mr. Waghorn received a private
India despatch from Suez,:by express courier, in the remarka-
bly short space of 21 hours. The Iberia leaves this morning
with the Bombay mail, which will be sent vid Marseilles,
thus Mr. Waghorn will have had from thc cram
of the mail by 47 hours, and although it cannot be expected
that a heavy mail of 60 or 70 boxes can be conveyed from
Suez to Alexandria in as short a time as a single dispatch, still
if Mr. Waghorn does anticipate the arrival of the mail in
London by more than two days, it will prove that the Trieste
route is shorter than that through France.
STATISTICS OF OREGON.—At length we have some-
thing practical in the shape of a letter from the Marshal and
High Sheriff of Oregon, who has been fifteen years in that
country. a Last year," says he, in a letter to his brother in
Missouri, " I raised 1,500 bushels of wheat; this year I
think I will have 3,000 bushels. I have a farm lying eight
miles from the ship navigation, worth as much as half the
countyyou live in. I have a large building in Oregon city that
coat me about 7,000 dollars. I have also property in the city
of Multanomah, and also in the town of Lmntan. Oregon city
lies on the east side of the Willamette Falls, and Multanomah
on the west side, and Linntan 20 miles below, at the head of
the ship navigation. I have besides 70 bead of cattle, 15
head of horses, 900 hogs, 2 dogs, 1 cat, 3 children, and the
old woman, with chickens innumerable." He thinks it is a
fair country—soil good, timber tall, and climate fine ; has
no ice in winter, but they have five months' continual rain
still the crops are fair, and the cattle good.—New York Herald.
THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON.—WO regret to
hear that the ships constituting the experimental squadron
have been in a very bad way since the late severe trial
to which they have been subjected. The Albion has hem
suffering from an internal complaint, consisting of a de-
I rangement of the ballast, which rendered drastic treat-
ment necessary; and no less than thirty tons were
taken from her. At one time her state was so frightfully
plethoric that she was thought to be gradually sinking; but
she has since rallied under the influence of strong stimulants.
The Queen has been suffering from a pressure of the stays,
and a straining of the arms, but is now considerably better.
IThe Vanguard has been rather dropsical, and has water on
the chest, but is now as well as can be expected. The
Canopus was thought to have had two of her ribs broken,
timbers ; but Paniebyona

John Russell will join the Administration of Sir Robert Peel
in the Ministry ; and that there is little doubt that Loth
—that Lord Stanley will retire from the office of Colonial
Secretary, and will be succeeded by Lord John.--Rrightoa
