The English war steamer Devastation ar
rived here yesterday morning from Havana,
In search of two vessels that had left that
port for st. Thomas under circumstances
authorizing the suspicion that they were to
be documentei here as Russian privateers.
Nothing has been seen or heard of them
here. There is much apprehension felt
hereabouts by English and French vessels
that they may encounter privateers. The
inter-colonial steamers, which often carry
large amounts Of specie, have taken special
precautions against such an emergency.

These two beautiful volumes of the wri-

the paper fine and white, forming, by far,
the best American edition of Milton that we
have ever seen. 1t also contains Milford
Life of the Poet, which we consider the best
that has ever been written. As to the con-
