LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

THE WEST INDIAN AND MEXICAN MAILS.:
The Thames, steamer, from the West Indies, arrived at
Southampton on Sunday.

Her Majesty's steamer Vixen, Commodore Ryder, ar-
rived at Jamaica on the 21st of March, in six days from
San Juan Nicaragua. She brought intelligence of the
termination of the late difficulties between the King of
Mosquito and the Central American Government.
The loss of the British has been two killed, two
drowned, and 13 wounded. The loss of the Central
Americans was more serious-12 dead were buried by
our troops, and several found wounded afterwards died.
From ayti Re have intelligence of an outbreak which
occurred on the Bth of March.

From the impunity with which the actors in this affair
escaped, it is very generally supposed that the President
was at the bottom of this movement, to get rid of an
officer not suited to his purposes. •*
The Thames brings but little news from Mexico, affairs
there being in a very quiet state when the Great Western
left to bring up the mails for the Thames. Commerce
was assuming a much more active aspect.
At Havana the tidings 'received by the Avon of the
revolution in France had produced a paralysing effect,
causing a complete stagnation to all mercantile transac-
tions.

The French West Indian islands received the news of
the convulsion in the mother country in comparative
silence.

The weather amongst the Windward Islands bad been
generally fine, although some places had been visited with
a good deal of rain, still not sufficient, it was hoped, to
cause much apprehension for the crops, which appeared
promising. _ _

A considerable number of -emigrants had arrived at
Jamnica, Demerara, and Trinidad ; their presence in those
colonies, it was supposed, would cause a most beneficial
effect upon the working population. Altogether the
prospect of those islands seemed to assume a more cheer-
ing hue than the continued gloomy forebodings which
have for so long a period been published, could lead us to
anticipate.

SOUTH AMERICA.—We have advices from Monte Video
to the 20th February. Mercantile affairs were paralyzed
by the strict blockade observed by the British and French
squadrons at Buenos Ayres. Oribe was encamped at
Cerrito, and General Rosas had taken possession of the
province of Corrientes. The Comereio del Plata, of the
19th of February, publishes a very lengthy letter addressed
by the principal editor of that journal to Lord Howden at
Rio Janeiro, vilifying the conduct and proceedings 'of
Rosas, and desiring his lordship's interference. Exchange
at Monte Video on London was 401 to 41 ; on Paris, 5f
22c. to sf. 25c. ; on Rio Janeiro, 8 to 9 per cent. prem.
SCHLESWIG-HOLSTElN.—Hostilities have not yet been
resumed. Every one is at a loss to conjecture what is
next to happen. Fresh troops arrive daily on their way
to Holstein. The German army becomes hourly more
formidable. Captain Frost, of the Helen M'Gregor,
which arrived at Hull on Surday, states that he brought
over an English gentleman, who, on Wednesday last, was
at Lubeck, and there had a conversation with the captain
of the steamer running from Copenhagen to that port,
who informed him that a captured Prussian vessel was
brought into Copenhagen that morning. The gentleman.,
added that he himself saw two Danish frigates cruising on
Lubeck. •

A deputation of the "fraternal Socialists " of Great
Britain, amongst whom was Mr. Owen, arrived in Paris
on Saturday, to compliment the Provisional Government
on its efforts in favour of the indigent classes, and to sub-
mit to it various suggestions relative to the organization
of labour.

SHOCKING AFFAIR.—On Thursday a youth, of the
name of Clark, fourteen years of age, whilst shooting at
birds in a tree, at Water House, near Hertford, unfortu-
nately shot an aged female, of the name of Mrs. Hackle.
She expired before medical assistance could be procured.
THEATRE-ROYAL—NEW ORLEANS SERENADERS:"
This now popular company made their last appearance
during their present engagement yesterday evening ; but
so excellent have been the audiences, that they are an-
nounced for a future period. Their songs, though bear-
ing similar titles, are perfectly different to the English
version ; and being set to Yankee music, are in man,'
cases far more effective.
CONCERT.—Miss Emily Grant gave her grand concert'
under the patronage of the Earl and Countess of Sefton,
and Mr. and Mrs. Blundell, at the Concert-hall,
last
night, when the house, though fashionably. was nal's°
numerously attended as the ability displayed deserved'
which was fully demonstrated by the repeated encores ae-
manded. The talent of Miss Grant is well known, as,
also, that of Miss Keele ; but of those who are unknown
to a Liverpool public, we can only say they distinguished
s
themselves in such a manner as will render them favourites
on a future occasion.
of amuse-
ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—This popular place -
ment was last night re-opened for the dramatic season
under the most favourable auspices. During the recess
the theatre has been thoroughly cleansed and re - decorated,
and several improvements made in the arrangements of the
interior for the increased accommodation and comfort of
the audience. The lighting of the theatre has also been
considerably ;mproved, and altogether the house looks
exceedingly well. The Orchestra has also been much aug-
mented. " Guy Mannering" was performed, Miss Cusa-
man sustaining the character of Meg Merrilies with her
usual ability. At the close of the piece Miss Cushman
was enthusiastically called for, and led on by Mr. Browne.
The national anthem was afterwards sung by the entire
strength of the company. The house was well filled,
especially the pit.
