Lieutenant Merviue Of the United States
ship Cyane, has arrived in this city. By
him letters have been received at the Navy
Department, fron captain Trenchard, OF the
Cyane, and captain Wadsworth, OF the U.
States ship John Adams; likewise, letters
from Daniel Coker, who has at present the
care Of the American settlers in Africa. Dr..
Dix. Surgeon on board the Cyane, and lieu
tenant Mervine, visited Campela, and the
settlers at Yonie, 10 the Island Of Sherbro,
and LETT them all we'll on the 26th OF Octo-
Der. These gentlemen have given parti-
cuIar account Of the situation of the Amerl-
cans, and the causes OF the late disaster in
their sickness and death. From these vari.
Gus communications il appears that not more
than between 90 and 80 have died. The
mistake in the letter from an officer on board
of the John Adams, published in our last,
propably arose from stating that only twen-
" eve had died. This last statement a
grees with all the communications above
mentioned, obtained on the spot, and with
a list of the persons who have died, and
which has been sent both by DR.. Dix and
Mr. Doughen.

HIGHLY IHTEREsTlsG-FRoM ENGLAND.
By the arrival of the fast sailing ship Hec.
tor, capt Bennett, from Liverpool, the edi-
tors Of the Commercial Advertiser have re.
celved from their correspondents, London
papers and Lloyd's list to the 18th of No
vember, and Liverpool 10 the 10Th, the day
whence the Hector sailed.
By uncommon exertions, I'VE have succeed.
ed in presenting our readers this evening,
with the entire proceedings OF the house OF
lords. upon the bill OF pains and penalties.
from the Cd of November, (the date of our
last advices per the James Monroe to the
close oflhe case and the adjournment. By
these proceedings it will be seen that the
second reading of the bill was carried by a
considerable majority. And motion for
the third reading was carried by majority
OF nise. The diversity of opinion among
the lords upon certain points, and the oppo-
sition of the bishops to the divorce clause,
was evidently the cause of this small majo-
rity.
In this state of the case, Lord Liverpool,
the Trainer, and father of the bill, in conse-
quence of the opinion of the house that il
should be read a third time, by meiori;y
OF only nine votes, and the present state of
the country, and the division of sentiment,
so nearly balanced, announced the determi-
nation OF ministers not to proceed any fur
Their with the bill. He therefore moved thai,
the question on the final passage Of the bill
be postponed to that dog Hr months. After a
short debate, the motion was carried, and
the house of lords adjourned till The esd of
November-,he day to which the house of
commons had previously adjourned. This
is IN sfsct 1yiladraual Of the bill entirely,
and an aeqmttal Of The queen.
The news of this result spread with the
rapidi'y of lightning in every direction from
the metropolis, and was received with the
most lively exultation by the friends of the
queen, and followed by the most enthusiast
tic and extravagant demonstrations Of Joy.
Public meetings were to be called imme-
diately, in every part OF the kingdom, 10 pre-
sent addresses both to the king and queen
to the former 10 congratulate him on the hap
py escape of his illustrious consort, and to
call upon him to dismiss his present minis
tiers; and 10 the other to feliciiate her OIL her
restoration to those digni,ies, and 10 that
elevated situation, from which she has been
10 long excluded.

We have been politely furnished with
the following extract OF letter from re-
spectacle house in London, dated January
"a, 1891, to gentleman in this place. As
the informatioa contained in it. is OF the ut
most importance, both to the planters and
shippers of tobacco, we take pleasure IN
laying !, before the public.
s'The prospects in tobacco, both here q
in all the continental markets. continues
very bad. Prices falling every where, ana
stocks on hand most abundant and encreas-
lug; with tins picture before them, how IS
i, possible for the shipper to expect proht
on their shipments of this ar,icle' The only
part Of the world that know ct where pri-
ces continue high is the United States; and
there they are quoted trem 5 to 6 d. per
100, 40 in quality, which is higher than any
market in Europe,
They complain bitterly from uost OF the
continental ports OF the very slovenly nan'
ner in which Maryland tobacco has been
packed for the last two or three years, and
they advise that they are confident great
deal OF money ha. eeen lost TO the shippers
through this INCREASING evil, which calls
loudly Tor redress. II the Planters are be-
come too indolent to give proper attention tc
the packing of their tobacco, they will soon
be made sensible Of their error, and that
when it is too late to retrieve themselves.
| therefore hope soon to hear OF better
system being adopted by the Planters; and
for their own credit do hope they will ex-
EFT themselves to suppress this growing
evil"
