ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.
The English Mail steamer Caledonia arrived at this
port about ten O'Clock this forenoon with the mail of
the 18th October. We have our regular files of Lon
don and Liverpool papers, and extra papers from
Harnden & Co. and their agent in Liverpool
The general news seems to be of great impor-
tancc and the India news has been anticipated by
other arrivals
The last news from France is quite unmportant,
the Paris papers being occupied with poemics on the
subject of national revenues The revenue Of France
for the last quarter previous to October was ap
pears much better than had been expected, and the
increase for the three quarters, compared with
the same three in 1884, amounted to Is, $40, 900 f.
nearly s., 600 coo. The circumstance furnishes the
French writer's fine opportunities for drawing compa-
risons, and for haunting the English.
The Acadia packet steamer of the first October,
from this port, arrived at Liverpool on the lith, in
l3 days.
BY the following paragraph it appears that the dis.
asters of the West India steam packets have drv-
en- passengers away from them;

the 18th by statement made to the shareholders o
the Bank of Manchester, by which it appeared that
Edward BurdelIn had absconded with lis available
funds, TO the amount of t590O00 Winners News

matter:
The mode in which Mr.. Burdekin has obtained the

siton of the Bank and the necessity OF its raising
money promptly by way of bills but for which the
Bank not then prepared to give value) who then
consented to do MIR Burdekin required; and bills
