They were contained in four large India rubber sacks, filled with letters and papers for England, and one for Havre. The departure of the South Western steam packet for Havre was delayed, in order to enable the passengers for the continent on board the Washington to proceed to their destination without toss of time.

They have, for some time past, had the plan of the new route laid before them by Captain Chapell, the secretary of the Royal Mail Company, which had this important recommenda Vionin {ts favor, that it would incur no additional ex- pouse to the government. We understand, however. that the question has been at length finally settled, and that the Koyal Mail Company have receivéd an officis! commenication from the Board of Admiralty, that their jordships had approved of the route insuring « monthly communication in future with New Orleans.

It wilt somvtimes occur, “Would that we had lived in those days! How did the world receive the suc- epssive reports of those incredible events?’ We can searcvly expand our minds to the breadth of expectation which the disuovery and the conquest of a new world must heve nniversally raised. Perhaps, however, many who have indulged in these reflections are entirely una- ware that after three centuries that history, to » won- derful coincidence, is acted overagain. At this moment the very path of Cortes is trodden by men who. if they prescat some strange contrasts, are not less heroic, not lees contident im the infallible fortune of their cause, thax the fumed Conguestador.

Hitherto the Mexicans have represented rather the ancient natives of their country than the conquerors from whom they are really descended. On their side it hhas been all defiance, obstinacy, and rashness. The notes of preparation have been loud, and the threats sanguinary. At the moment when these promises should be realised the babble seems to burst.

A correspondence has ts place between Mr. Smith O’Brien and Mr, Maurice O'Connell, which has been the subject of much conversation. It was rumored that it ‘waa the wish of Mr. O'Connell's family that the Young irelanders should take no part. as a body, in the public funeral to be accorded their late father. Mr. Smith O’Brien, in order to test the rumor, addressed a letter to Mr. John O'Connell, in which he inquires “ whether it is their (the family’s) ‘wish that those who dissented frow the policy adopted by the Repeal Association during the fast twelve months should attend the funeral.’ The duty of replying was devolved by Mr. John O'Connell upon his ther, Mr. Maurice O'Connell, who replied that ‘the arrangements for the funeral having been in. trusted to the Glaenevin Cemetery committee and thi Rev. Dr. Milev, the family leaves it entirely in their hands.” Mr O’Brien interpreted this into an intima- tion that “he should not attend the ftuneral;” and it seems, indeed, pretty plainly to bear that construction. ‘The. Repeal Association have not given up the usual weekly meetings. On the 7th, a large number of mem- bers met in Conciliation Hall Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M. P., eldest aon of Mr. O'Connell, deceased, and Mr. John O'Connoll, were present, Several adJresses and re- solutions from various bodies of the Roman Catholic clergy, from various corporations, and other public bodies, were read, proclaiming adhesion to the political conduct and teachings of the late Mr. O'Connell, and tromising that they would confide in his son, Mr. John O'Connell. as the expounder of that conduct and policy. Mr Jobn O'Connell stated that he would not presume to accept of any leadership, but that, with the advantage of his brother's counsel and experience, he would endeayor to walk in the paths of his father. It would seem, there- fore, that the two brothers will, for the present at least, bred to guide the movements of thi ulers, The of the association have been pl in the guar- dianship of trustees, that of Aldermen MeLoghlin and Keshay, The rent acknowledged was nearly £50, The prospects of the crop are in general of a gratifying character, The rumor of the re-appearance of last year’s disease in the potatoes appears to have incited a general examination of the crop, und the result is such as to in- spire a confident hope that the produce will be far and every way greater than was at any time this year anti- cipated, white in no single instance were true symptoms ot the disease discovered. Ocoasionally blighted’ plants are found, but the most healthy fields of potatoes have always exbibited such cases of failure. On the whole, the farmers are in the best possible spirits at the pros- | pects of the coming harvest. {x Ireland tho fever all eontinues to make snd ravages Tho accounts which come to hand from the principal cities, more especially from those in the south aud south- western parts of the Island, are painfully distressing. The mortality is, of course, ' principally confined to the humbler classes, but others higher in the scale of society are occasionally the victims of the infection. Public at- t ntion is more immediately concentrated on the ex- istence of the malady when one of the middling or upper clvases falls @ prey to it, The Trish papers mention na- morous cases of robbery and murder, and as they figure prominently in the journals of the sister country, they ure readily transferred to the columns of the press in England: and the inference is, that the demoreleation. of the peasantry acros# the channel {x increasing in the ratio of the prevailing destitution.

In the Chamber of Deputies the general discussion on the bill demanding credit for the mititary and civil ser- viceia Algeria was opened. An {mportaut amendment was laid before the chamber by M.

According to the reports in the Paris papers the prospects of the growing crops are most cheering and favorable, the wheat particularly has derived yreat strength from the continued hot weather. The debate uoon the credits for Algeria was brought to a close on Friday. having been cut short by tha aban- donment on the part of the government of the project of military colonization, upon which the discussion had chietly turned.
