Southern waters She is owned in PHILADELPHIA
and was at Berwick's Bay few days since. Her
class, mate, the Louisiana, departed for Philadel-

well for our authorities to look after the Mobile.
Although it was remarkably quiet on the flags
generally yesterday, Carondelet street and enyi
rons were not altogether deserted. The great in
sigmia of Great Britain foated throughout the day
from the office of the representative in this en-
porium of the British Empire. Queen Victoria at
