ting to call at Santa Martha. This then is the
MAN trunk line which is 80 important, because Il
shows what communication is 10 be established
between this country and the I-thmus Of Panama,
in which TO much interest has been excited. The
main line steamer will not go direct TO Chagree
from ST. Thomas, but will call AT Santa Martha
and Carthagena. on her way. The time out to
Chagres from Southampton will be twenty-three
days, twenty-three hours and the time home
from Chagres TO Southampton will also be twenty
three days, twenty-three hours. From the time of
the steamers arrival at Chagres until she leaves
that port again, period will elapse of fifteen days.
During this period the steamer will 90 10 Grey
Town and back, and wait for the Pacific mails, and
for any thing hound for Europe from California and
Panama. The steamer reaches Southampton from
Chagres by the present scheme in thirty five days
BY The new scheme II will reach in about twenty-
four days. This, therefore, is great improve
nent; and 1t will scarcely be possible for anything
by any conceivable accident, to arrive in England
from ChsRres by way of New York quickly as
this, and most generally throughout the year pas
sengers and mails would be considerably longer
time reaching England. There cannot be doubt,
therefore, but that the West India company will
by the new scheme secure the conveyance of
everyt thing bound from Chsgres to Europe, which
is the great object they have in view. 1t may be
asked why should the steamer stay so long at
Chagres, and why not come direct from that port
to Southampton, without calling at any place but
81. Thomas, and thus render il impossible for any,
thing TO reach Europe quicker via New York The
Times repeatedly stated that this would and could
be done, but it was proved in the Duly NeUs that
il this were done the Mexican mails would be left
behind at st. Thomas, on account of the much
greater distance between ST. Thomas and Vera
Cruz than between the former place and Chagres.
Some delay OF the Chagres steamer must take
place, and the steamer might as well be employed
in touching at Grey Town and Carthagena, and in
waiting at Chagres arrivals from Panama, as be
detained for the Gulf steamer at st. Thomas.
In the following table will be found the time q
letter from England will take reaching any of the
places comprehended in the new scheme. The
names Of the places are arranged alphabetically,
or convenience of reference -

The New West fadia Mall Routes.


The tables Of routes for the packe Of the Royal
Mail Steam Packet Company, commencing from
Southampton % August, 1850. have been printed
These tables issued for the guidance PRINCIPAL
ly, OF the Admiralty agents and commanders OF the
packets, and are scarcely ineligible to any one
else. In consequence, however. ot the great anr-
iety felt by the mercantile community, as to the
postal accommodation the government intends to
Afford the West India colonies, and OF the interest
felt by the public generally as 10 the means by
which the Royal Mail Scam Packet Company
purpose securing their legitimate share Of the great
traffic which has sprung up recently between this
country and the 1sthmus of Panama, we have en-
deavoTed TO extract everything from the tables Of
routes in which the public are Concerned, and to
simplify Il as 20 render IL generally intclyble
A West India mail packet leaves Southampton this
day, and the eager curiosity Of our West India
readers will thus shortly be gratified with the de-.
tails of the rev pOsia arrangements decided on by
the governm. 1T and the West India Mail Packet
Company. CONNIE ncing, as the new arrangements
will, on % August next, the calculations in the ar
ran gcntnts es 10 the times of arrival and depar-
ture of the Steamers AZ the various ports at which
they will touch, have been made according TO the
speed averaged by the present teet OF the compa-
ny, and which is nine miles per hour. When, how

The New York herald., 1850-07-22

When il is considered that a letter could not
possibly reach Jamaica, according to the shortest
route of the previous scheme in less than twenty
nine days, Chagres in less than thirty. five, Vera
Cruz in less than thirty-four, Demerara in less
than twenty nine, and Trinidad in less than
twenty-six days, the new scheme must be a vely
great Improvement. AS the time for letter reach
ing England from any place comprehended in the
West India scheme is about the same as that
stated in the above table, we can see how Jamaica
will be affected by the new arrang sments The
inhabitants of Jamaica have been particularly in
terested in the dispute to the route Of the mails,
because that island lies in the route Of the Ameri-
can steamers between New York and Chagres;
and the inhabitants have insisted, on account OF
the importance Of Jamaica, upon having their con-
venience particularly attended to by the West
India Company and II this could not be done, that
their mails should go via New York. Now the
Hibernia, which arrived In England on the llth
instant, brought news from Jamaica up to the
18th ultimo, that 10, twenty-four days old; but,
by the new scheme, even with the present West
India packets, a letter will not be longer reach
ing England from Jamaica than twenty-five days.
The West India Company, it appears, have guaran-
teed that as soon as they can possibly build new
vessels. steamers of as great power and speed as
have yet been obtained, shall be put on the main line
between Southampton and Chagres. They will
then be able to lessen the course of post between
England and the places their vessels touch at, di-
minish the time letter takes for being conveyed
from one port to another and still allow the nha-
bitants of those places much time for answering
their correspondence. The periods for the arrival
of the steamers at Southampton, according to the
new scheme, are on the 18th and 18th of each
month, at midnight. The Mexican mail will be
brought to England by the steamer, which arrives
at Southampton on the 4th the Havana and Hon.
duras mails by the one which arrives on the 18th.
The coaling stations will be Southampton, st.
Thomas, Jamaica, and Grenada. The length Of
the Chagres route is 9,S74 miles; the Mexican
route, 1902; the Havana, 1886 the Demerara,
,s3S; the Trinidad, 702; and the Nassau route,
1,720 miles. To compensate for the short month of

II we add 630,0O0 for increased proceeds Of the
Crown Londs, and C5, $50 from other sources, the
net increase on the year. for the ordinary revenue,
is 81, l6t 904.
The decrease upon customs for the year, and the
increase on the quarter, is mainly accounted for by
the reduction OF the sugar duties from July, 1st9
and by diminished receipts from imported corn.
The excise duties have been partly increased by
the larger consumption Of malt, and the greater
quantity of spirits made, well in conse quence Of
larger demand as Of a partial postponement OF
barley crop Of lSfsand partly, also by the failure
of the hop harvest and the postponement of pay
ment OF TIE duty last year.
The payment OF stamp duty has, very naturally,
been put of lately, wherever feasible, in or
der 10 obtain the benefit Of the scale yet under
discussion IN Parlisment, and AZ first announced to
come into operation after the 9th instant. Hence
the reduction on the quarter, which we may expect
to see more than balanced by subsequent increase
Of the receipts.
ON turning to the account of income and charge
Tor the July quarters OF 1919 and 1850, find the
legitimate results OF this prosperous state Of the
revenue. In the |" charge" for the latter, we find
new item Of c6sI ,625, set down TO the sinking
fund, as applied in reduction Of the national debt
and also observe that while the miscellaneous
have been reduced from clz9 30 to cJ6s. 40, the
" advances" during the same period, have fallen
from I393,07 to G29l, SOB. Shortly, the income
for the quarter s, this year, about e56O,0O0 larger
IN an IN 1s49; and some diminution OF expenditure,
adding 10 the surplus, has enabled ms to wipe off
GC30,UC0 Of the permanent debt, besides reducing
TO narrow limits the amount paid for interest on
Exohsquer bills afoat, while the revenue comes in
TO meet current expenditure.

The Minister Of Justice has addressed report
10 the President Of the Republic, containing ge-
neral account Of the administration oi justice in
1917, year remarkable for the dearness Of food.
The following is the substance Of this interesting
document -
Compared with the two preceding years, the year
1877 presents a considerable increase in crime In
1876, for exsmple, the court Of essize tried 5,0T7
cases, and 6,90S accused in 1S45, 5,0J4 and
6,6S5 accused, whilst in 1917 there 1867 cases
and 500 accused. ln lSi7, then, there was, com
pared with the two preceding years, an increase of
about 500 cases, that is 10 per cent, or one-sixth
asd Of 800 accused, or D per cent, or nearly
tlre-tentbs Since 1926, when the accounts Of
crtSiinal justice were first published, il is 1877
which presents the greatest number Of accusations
and aScused; the years lsI5 ard 1st6 are, on the

Adding a like increase from miscellaneous
sources, the whole balance Of increase, from the

sum larger than we expected, in consequence Of
unusually large sums having been paid ia on the

perty Sl-hundredths. The small increase in the
number accused Of crimes against the person corr
prises almost all descriptions Of crimes OF that ca
tegory, but more particularly assassination, false
testimony, and infanticde. Amongst the accused
OF crimes against property, fraudulent bankrupts
alone were less numerous than In 1886 The ac-
cused of all other descriptions of crime against
property increased in a manner more or less sensi-
BILE. Thus, highway rsbbeTies increased 81 per
cent, and certain other descriptions Of robbery rs
per cent There were also $50 persons accused of
the pillage of corn and flour, whilst the annual
average number Of such offenders from lS4l
TO 1916 did not exceed twenty. In l847,
there was for all France one accused for every
4.Ot7 inhabitants; in lS46 there was i in 5, lbs !;
and in ,296 in 1915. II is worthy of emark that
the number of women tried annually before the
Courts OF Assize, is very restricted, compared 10
that of men. In lS47, out of S,704 accused, only
l,4A were women, That is little less thaa SIXTH

% 546 cases, and 81 Sl5 accused, or about Is per

the bad harvest of ls46, and to the distress which
ensued. The same cause led to an increase in the
