The packet ship Mediator, Captain
Chadwick, arrived at New York on SuL-
day night from Plymouth, England, from
which port she sailed December the 10th.
The intelligence brought by her although

not later than former dates. We annex
every thing ofinterest from the Herald.
Clipper.
Tr AIDE is still dali in England. To
add TO the general distress there, they
have numerous devastating floods all over
the country.
The overland mail had arrived in Lon
don on the 9Th Of December. 1t appears
that the Burmese had caused some unea.
siness to the government, but that ample
repression measures were taken in CAL
cutta.
On the 9th December, the Tower was
for the first time since the destruction
conhagration Oh The night of Saturday,
the Both of October, opened to the public
provided only, however. that every visitor
purchase a ticket price sex-pence, al the
Armory Ticket-offiee, at the western or

The wa IRAN, creating the infant prince

DEATHs.-The Earl of Egin aud the
Countess of Norman,on, are dead.
There has been great floods in Eng
land.-The Times says:-In IIerlfortl-
shire, Essex, Norfolk. Lincolnshire, Berk-
shire, Y orkshire, and the lowlanl coun-
tries, entire villages are under water from
two TO four feet deep. Many haystacks,
corn racks, and even cottages have been
washed down aud several nocks of sheep
have been swept away. In many parts
the lands have the appearance Of large
lake, as the hedges or establishments are
either washed down or covered with wa
ter. Many of the railroads have suffered
greatly, particularly in the eastern and
h. l.. l..
ing washed on the rails SO as to prevent
the usual intercourse.
The Duke Of Wellington has directed
his attention of late to the condition OF
the regiments which occupy West India
stations, and the causes of the mortality
to which, from time to time, they are
subjected. His Grace appears to attrb-
ute the evil very much to the unhealthy
situations of the different barracks, and
the inadequacy of the buildings them
selves to protect the men against the in
auence Of the climate.
NIGER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
Dec. 6.-The Horalio transport, Lieut"n-
ant Chapman, arrived here on Friday
from St. Helena, and the Coast of Africa,
and has brought home some of the Off
GERS who have been invaded belonging
to the Niger expedition, ard who lad
come down the river in the Sondon
steamer. The accounts they bring home
are most deplorable. The mortality and
sickness among the officers and men
composing the expedition were great in
the extreme. Twenty-six had already
died, and almost all were i'll, and unable
to do duty.
PARIS, Dec. 5.-Every thing remains
perfectly quiet in this city at pr esent, An
extensive secret conspiracy to blow up
the residence of the Royal Family has
been detected and suppressed.
From the tone of the ministerial jour-
mails, it is evident they are backing out of
their interference in the affairs Of Spain.
