3T INDIA AND MEXICAN MAILS.
The royal mail steamer Dee, Captain W. Allen, arrived
off Southampton on Sunday night with the overdue West
India and Mexican mails.

The Dee was detained two days at St. Thomas waiting
for the Clyde, from the Gulf of Mexico, and has brought
no mail or, specie from Tampico in consequence of a heavy
northern having compelled the Clyde to put to sea without
communicating.
During the voyage from St. Thomas the Dee expe-
rienced a continuation of bad weather with adverse winds.
This packet brings on freight specie value £280,480, of
which 5'30,000 is for account of the Mexican dividend;
also 154 serons of cochineal, and a general cargo. Large
remittances are expected by the next packet from Mexico.

The news from Jamaica is a few days later than rieiNew
York. The cholera was, causing great alarm, many deaths
having occurred.

On the Isthmus of Panama there had been extensive
rains, and in addition to cholera intermittent fevers and
ague prevailed. Greytown was'improving, in consequence
of the traffic from California by the Nicaragua route.
Great sickness prevailed there, and her Majesty's ships
Persian and Indefatigable bad a long list of fever cases,
few, however, of which proved fatal.
Our accounts from Panama mention an abortive attempt
at revolution, which took place on the 20th of September,
the principal mover in which was Dr. Theller, formerly a
Canadian rebel. The object was to form the province of
Panama into a new Republic, to be called New Columbia,
and then annex it to the United States.
The weather in the north-west islands had been season-
ahle, a fair proportion of rain having fallen. In Demerara
the weather was dry, and produce came slowly to market.

COLLISION BETWEEN PRUSSIAN AND
AUSTRIAN TROOPS.
Letters from Be:lin of the 6th instant contain the fol-
lowing important announcement :—lnt( ligerve has ar-
rived here from the Prussian head.quarterb, that a skir-
mish took place last evening between the Bavarian and
Prussian outposts on the banks of the small stream which
separates the Fulda from the Hanau district. The general
c mmanding the Prussians desired that the stream,should
serve as a demarcation line, between the two opposing
corps, but the Bavarians declined, saying that they knew
of no other line of demarcation than that of the con'ede-
ration ; and acting upon the word. pUshed on. Where-
upon the Prussians opened their fire, and the Bavarians
withdrew to the opposite hank. Great anxiety is felt to
ascertain whether this affair will lead to further conse-
quences. It is reported this evening that M. Von Ra-
dowitz has been sent for to resume office. The greatest
excitement is said to prevail at Sans Saudi, where the cry
is for open war, no matter what the means or eud. The
Landwehr is ordered out. This suggests the question.
whether the reserve men in the Holstein army will now be
allowed to remain ? Probably they will.
From Vienna we learn. of the 2nd instant, that the
Federal army far the pacification of Germany is to consist
of 120,000 Austrians, 60,000 Bavarians, and 20,000 Wnr-
temburg troops.
The Emperor of Russia, in consideration of the'spirit of
vassalage evinced at the recent Conference of Warsaw, is
about to dispatch an agent to Frankfort.

the French army to utter shouts of any sort whatever !
Several of the New York best artists have for some
months past been engaged upon the novel task of produc-
ing a moving panorama of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.
A general Indian war is anticipated in Texas. The de-
predations by the Indians near Saliva are extensive. The
daughters of a German were taken off by them. The
Boundary Commission had reached San Antonio.
A steam-boat company has been formed at St. Peters-
burg, for the navigation of the Wolga, the Kama, and
their branches, an undertaking which will be of the
highest importance to the internal commerce of the Rus-
sian empire.

THE POPE INTERFERING AT CALIFORNIA.—There is
a rumour at New York that the Pope has sent a well-
informed and eminent dignitary of his church to proceed
to California, to ascertain the validity of the title of the
Jesuit missions to a large portion of the territory. This
investigation, if made, will cause a stir in California.

THE HuTcHINsoNFAMILY.—JUdSOII Hutchinson, the
singer, we are sorry to say, has been attacked with raving
insanity. 'The family were giving concerts at Cleveland,
New York State, when this melancholy affliction hefel
them. He has been removed to his friends in New
Hampshire.

RACITEL.—When Mdlle. Rachel was lately at
Carlsruhe, an aged and infirm Jewess called on her, and,
after stating that she was in most indigent circumstances,

gave her convincing proof that she was sister• to the cele-
brated actress's father. Mdlle. Rachel made her a pre-
sent of a gold watch, and agreed to allow her a pension of
900 f. a-year for the rest of her life.

PignmoNT.—Letters from Turin of the 30th ult. re-
port that the Pope had excommunicated from the Roman
Catholic Church the King; the civil and judicial authori-
, ties, and all other persons in Piedmont who had given
their consent to the Siccardi laws. The Risorgimento
and the Concordia of the 2nd instant, however, declare
• thst there is no truth whatever in the rumour alluded to.
A RESURRECTION iN PRUSSIA : DISCOVERY OF ONE
OF NAPOLEON'S SPIES.—In digging sand in a field near
the Royal Pheasantry at Potsdam, the body of a man in
a French uniform of the time of the Empire has been
found. It was in tolerable good preservation ; the but-
tons bore the regimental number 1364 In a pocket was
discovered a bladder containing a dispatch, still legible,
that proved to be the report of a spy, in pay of the French,
directed to the general in command.
JENNY LlND.—Miss Jenny Lind has made her appear-
ance at Tripler-hall, New York, at two concerts. The
capacity of the hall admits of. nearly 3500 seats, of which
2000 are on settees and sofas on the floor. More than
2000 lights revealed the magnificence of this gorgeous
aportment; but the thousands of happy faces beaming
with joyous emotion gave a still more beautiful and bril-
.liant illumination to the scene. Miss Lind was greeted
with the same irrepressible enthusiasm that she excited
on her first visit. At the suggestion of Miss Lind, the
prices of tickets for the remaining concerts are to be ma-
terially reduced. She wrote to Barnum to 'request him
to lower the prices, and to take proper precautions to
*vent speculators buying the tickets.
AUSTRIA AND. PRUSSIA.—The present week has teemed
with accounts from the continent of marchings and coun-
ter-marchings. After months of uncertainty Austris has
put in motion her vast military strength to check the
revolution-fostering spirit of Prussia. An Austrian and
Bavarian army have been marched into Hesse Cassel.
And an Austrian officer has arrived at Kiel witlidespatches
from the Blind commanding Schleswig-Holstein instantly
to cease hostilities under the penalty of compulsion by a
superior force. This was an unexpected check to Prussia,
and piores something likes checkmate, having led to the
resignation of Radowitz, and a consequent change to more
peaceful measures in the Prussian counsels. His succes-
sor, the Duke of Brandenburg, bad, however, a short ter
nure of office.. On the '4th inst snt the, royal order ap-
peiicti in the Gazelle giving to bias 4he Foreign Ministry.

the royal mail steam-ship America, Neil Shannon, com-
mander, letters and papers from New York extending to
the 29th, and, by electric despatch, via Halifax, telegraphic
accounts to the 31st ultimo inclusive.

The America's run fully supports her reputation for
regularity and speed. She lett Boston, on this occasion,
precisely at 1 p.m., on the 30th ultimo, made the run to
Halifax in about 351 hours, received the mails and cleared
from the harbour atter a detention of one hour, made the
Skerries at 3 a.m., on Sunday, and arrived off the bar
about 9 a.m., after a run from Boston, mean time, de.
ducting the detention at Halifax, of 10 days 14 hours and
20 minutes; her speed throughout having been a very
high average. She brought between fifty and sixty
passengers, the usual mails, a fair freight of general
merchandise, and £16,000 in specie.

ment were making great preparations to repel the in-
tended invasion of the Haytians. Their fleet consisted of
one ship, one bark, three brigs, and a number of schooners.
From Port-au-Prince advices we find that political
matters there continue in a very unsettled state ; it was
said that the friendly mediation of the foreign represen-
tatives had been positively declined. A large body of
men had departed for the South, and others had embarked
on board the fleet. There was no coffee in first hands,
and the article was scarce.

Our Mexican advices extend to the 28th of September.
The result of the Presidential election was yet unknown.
The finances were in a bad condition ; the Minister had
demanded of Congress the 1,500,000 dollars remaining of
the Mexican indemnity, and in default of this to authorize
a stoppage of all payments. The railroad between Vera
Cruz and San Juan was opened on the 16th of September.
We have Havannah dates to the 20th ult. The stock
of sugar was estimated at 35,000 to 40,000 boxes very low
brown, at 51 to 6 dollars per arroba. Some few parcels of
coffee were in the market, but the last European advices
have influenced holders to demand 10 dollars 50 cents.
Freights to Europe nominal. Exchange on London,
114 to 112 premium, with little doing.
