other places in this vicinity this afternoon, but as

The Hiberna sailed Yesterday, with thlrty-two
passengers; this meagre compliment must soon
open the eyes OF Mr. Cunard, especially when com.
pared with the Westerns last trip. The steamer
has not been telegraphed up TO this time, but Is
hourly eXpe cted her news is looked for with inter-
est, especially as regards the price OF cotton. DR.
Lardner delivered his first lecture, last evening, to
an overfiowing audience.
Gidden Is also delivering a course OF lectures,
which are well attended This may be accounted
for in MEASURE from thsIfact that heatrcals AT
their lowest ebb here, aud the Bostonians deter

Now that the "Victoria" has sailed from your
port tor London, | am at liberty to relate what a
passenger told me occurred in her first trip. Among
them were General Ward, of Westchester, Colonel
Jones, MIR. Saunders, and various other eminent
men, mock trial was got up of the Somers tragedy;
Capt. Aurgau, Judge, Mr. Saunders, .Crier Of the
Court, arrayed in smock frock, with spectacles
turned upside down, holding in his hand broom as
badge OF authority, with which he occasionally
tapped the Judge on his caput, calling him to order;
There were advanced some of the most splendid
arguments, and much talent displayed, but such a
farce as this was never acted on the stage, occupy

you in this truly amusing mock trial OF one OF the
most glorious transactions that ever FURNISHED the
fair fame of any navy, and which 1t is impossible to
blot from the history OF this great American ReTub-
| lie. More anon from yours, truly,
