New York, Wednesday, Jane 22, 1853, The News. The United States mail steamship Humboldt ar- rived at this port yesterday evening from Havre and Southhampton. We have advices from England and the continent of Europe of four days later date. The British Parliament was engaged with the eonsideration of suggested improvements in the’ fu- ture policy to be pursued towards India. Notices had been given, both in the Houses of Lords and ‘Commons, that upon a future day ministers would be called upon for explanations relative to the Eastern aggression of Russia and the intended inter- vention of England for the maintenance of the inte- grity of the Ottoman Empire. A re‘ractory portion of the Irish brigade in Par- Tiament had tendered the resignations of their offices under the Aberdeen government, but had consented to retain them after a written statement made by ‘tthe Premier. The French empire was tranquil, and the works of local improvement were progressing in Paris. A Teport was prevalent that the supplies of grain and flour from the provinces were becoming very short in the capital, a fact which has always a very serious effect upon French politics. The money markets of England and France were agitated with rumors regarding Russian diplomacy and Turkish resistance to it. The latest was to the effect that the Czar had despatched a courier to Constantinople to demand a compliance with the altimatum of Prince Menschikoff in the course of eight days. There was little doubt but the Emperor felt mortified with the failure of the Prince’s mission tothe East, and that the united stand taken by the great powers of France and England combined, with the firm front displayed by the Sultan, had caused the autocrat to temporize. The Italian States enjoyed peace, and many pro- jects of improved finance measures and internal railway communication were being discussed im the various legislative assemblies. The agricultural reports from Prussia are disheart- ening and speak of much distress existing amongst the peasantry, who were preparing to emigrate in large numbers. Our advices from the Bahamas are to the 4th inst. The news is rather unimportant in its character. The chief political feature was the still-continued differences between the Governor General and the House of Assembly regarding the passage of the Government Appropriation bill. The representative body had rejected the measure upon two occasions. N nety-three pounds in cash had been collected, tobe forwarded to the sufferers belonging to the bark William and Mary. There is no allusion to the Btate of the crops, weather, or sanatary condition of the islands. As we anticipated would be the case the mem- bers of our State Senate took especial pains to be in their seats yesterday. It being executive session day, it was important that they should all be in at- tendance, despite the heat of the weather. The Go- vernor sent in a large number of nominations—among them John A. Kennedy and J. 8. Donnelly for Commissioners of Emigration at this port—all of which remain unacted on. Mr. Vanderbilt reported in favor of the Brooklyn Harbor Masters, but his re- port was tabled on motion of Mr. Upham, and by the sanction of Mr. Cooley. Mr. Pierce offered a resolu- tion discharging the Senators from the First Judicial District ffom the consideration of the New York Har- bor Mastess, and confirming the nominees. This was evidently tmtended as a home thrust at those gentle- men, but it signally failed, being defeated by eighteen to eleven, after an unusually exciting debate, in the course of which democratic journals were quoted from to show that ‘the nominees are repugnant to the democracy.”” Every Senator voted upen this test question except Messrs. Rogers and McMurray, democrats, and Mr. Beach, whig. The two latter, it will be recollected, swapped off prior te the departure of Mr. McM. for Europe. Quite a sharp, we may say cutting, controversy occurred be- tween Messrs. Cooley and Conger respecting nomi- nations for notaries in the Second Judicial District. which were eventually confirmed, and then the nate resumed legislative business. The warm work yesterday probably decided the fate of the New York harbor masters—the whig incumbents can breathe more freely notwithstanding the caloric state of the atmosphere, andthe applicants for the offices wil have the privilege of becoming cool at some of the sommer retreats instead of being tied down by of ficial business. Several bills were passed by the Senate in the early part of the day, and a bill was presented, providing for the appointment of five commissioners to select a site for a new park in this city. Mr. Cooley dissented from this bill, and announced that he was preparing a report upon the subject, which he hoped to present today. It is pleasing to learn that Mr. C. has at last heen aroused upon this im- portant matter. The signs are that something will now be done towards giving our citizens a place wherein they can draw a fall, free, wholesome, bracing breath of air. ‘The Aseerab! pent most of the day in discussing the resolotions of im; nt against Canal Com missioner Mather.

A telegraphic despatch states that the Maine Liquor Jaw has been approved by the people of Michigan, bya majority that will not probably fall short of ten thou- sand. Detroit gives a majority of three hundred in favor of the law. A special meeting of the Common Couneil was convened by Mayor Westervelt, last evening, for the purpose of considering a communication from Col- lector Bronson, who proposes, on behalf of the Secretary of the Treasury, to take a lease, on rea- sonable terms, of the grounds now occupied by the Brick Church, bounded by Park row, and Beekman, Nassau and Spruce streets—the intention being to use the same for the New York Assay Office. The Board of Aldermen referred the subject to a Special Committee; but no quoram being present in the Board of Assistants, nothing could be done by that body.

The es ae ‘Venezucla—The Progress of the Revolution. The destiny of the northern republics of South America is becoming every day a more | difficult problem to resolve. It may safely be | asserted that ever since the execution of Boli- var’s grand scheme of consolidation, the coun- try which he fondly hoped to see on a par with the United States of the North, has never known permanent repose or prosperity. Internal dis- sensions and civil wars have absorbed all the | energy which the developement of Columbia’s resources required. Factions have sprung up like baneful weeds wherever good government began to flourish ; and as the former quickly rallied round them all that nondescript horde of mestizoes, mulattoes, and half-breeds who | are the standing curse of the country, while the latter could only rely on a roll whose vigor had long ago been exhausted, it is not a matter of surprise that men of wealth and family should have been leaving Venezuela, New Granada and Ecuador in large numbers for the last ten or fifteen years. Of the three, New Granada ap- pears to have enjoyed the largest share of tran- quillity. It has. for some time past, ceased to occupy public attention, and with the excep- tion of the alarms which Flores’ ambitious projects occasioned, no recent events have dis- tracted the minds of the people from their usual avocations. Not so with Ecuador, whose history is familiar to all our readers. Though defeated and driven back to Peru, Flores con- trived to occasion a vast amount of disorder and commotion, and to put the republic to an expense which weighs heavily on the tax- payers. Hopeful as was the tone of the last message from President Urbina, the events it disclosed were a melancholy commentary on the state and prospects of the country. Threatened by a powerful foe on the west, by no means secure of the loyalty of its own subjects, and exposed to be at any moment the victim ot a successful revolution in New Gra. nada or Venezuela, the government of Ecuador hada hard tusk to perform. Thus far, how- ever, it may be said to have succeeded; let us not anticipate events by speculations on the future. Meenwhile, as will have been perceived by our correspondence from Porto Cabello and Laguayra. published in our last two issues, Venezuela is on the brink of another revolution. To understand its character, we must bear in mind that one of the leadifg instruments of the lileration of Venezuela was General Jose An- tonio Paez. He it was, who, after winning laurels by the side of General Bolivar, asa general of the Colombian army, was one of the first toadvocate. and the most energetic in as- serting the separate nationality of his own native State. He suceceded. The Colombian government overthrown, Venezuela once more constituted herself an independent republic, and elected Paez as the first presi- dent for four years. Under his rule the country prospered. Governed on principles very anal- ogous to those of our own sy4tem, the Venezu- elans were rapidly becoming accustomed to con- stitutional liberty, when Paez retired. his nomi- nee, Dr. Vagos. having been elected to succeed him. He had scarcely withdrawn to private | life, however, when General Monagas, the head of the military party, and a factious opponent of Paez, organized a conspiracy against the government, succeeded in upsetting it, and ban- ished Vagos to Curacoa. Pacz was soon re~ called by the Venezuclans. He promptly re- sponded to the call, and. after a brief conflict, defeated the insurgents, and reinstated the banished president. His triumph was, how- ever, of short duration. Treachery and cor ruption effected what open bravery and skill had failed to do. He abandoned on the field by alarge party of men in whom he had placed implicit reliance; and after a protracted struggle was forced to seek safely in exile. Since that period, Venezuela has been governed by Monagas and his brother, Jose Gregorio. The ruling principle of their gov- ernment appears to have been to place the su- preme power in the hands of the soldiery. Both soldiers themselves, the brothers Monagas made it their pride to reduce the ci ns into a state of comparative bondage, and to divide the rich offices of State among their military comrades. Their military despotism has not been suffered without a struggle. Although nimously refused to oppose him as was mag Pres trary measures roused him into open resistance shortly afterwards ; and again in 1849, the old veteran yielded to the entreaties of his coun- trymen and consented to place himself at their head. We have already anticipated the result of the unequal conflict by stating that Pae Was driven into exile. This punishment, wh followed a close confinement of several months in the fortress of San Antonio. has been bo fortitude. It now remains to be seen whether Paez will once more tempt fortune in the hope of freeing his country. Events present an auspicious pros- ‘ge portion of the Venez people have in a mass against Monagas and calls loudly for their old chief to lead them to battle. They know him so well that they do nk for a moment that his sixty-three will Forty-t mpany of cay appealed to, to bee all 5 that if he de nfl in Caman pect.

Unless he is misinformed, more than half the country is prepared to reinstate their old chief. For our part, we are free to say that we should hear of Paez’s return to Venezuela with | lively satisfaction, We will not presume to prejudge the South American republics. Their | fate is, as we said, aninscrutable problem which time alone can solve. Revolution after revola- tion has plunged them into deeper distress than they ever knew as colonies; and we frankly confess our doubts whether the descendauts of the old Spanish celonists, intermingled witha sprinkling of mestizoes and Indians, are the right stuf! to bring forth a great end prosper- ous people. abstract questions, the tangible eviis and the grievous wrongs of Monagas’ policy are appa- rent to the naked eye; while Paez is admitted on all hands to be an enlightened, honest wad liberal man. Hence it is that we should rejoice to hear him respond to the call of his coun‘ry- | men. Tre Fisuery Necovarion—Has Anyruina BEEN Done?—A morning paper states that the decided conduct at Washing ‘on, with reference to the fisheries, has produced a suspension of proceedings on the part of the English against the fishing vessels in the disputed waters, ur information from Washingto:., sowever, indaces | us to believe that this statement is unfounded in tact. We learn, from pretty good authority, that the subject of the fisheries has not yet oc- | cupied the attention of the cabinet, and that Mr. Marcy’s progress has been confined to in- forming himself upon the merits of the question, and the points in dispute. The intention of the government, as well as the wish of Eugland, is to adjust the fishery and reciprocity questions in one convention; and, although Mr. Crampton, the British minister is urging their ‘mmerliate attention, it is not believed any decided pro- gress will be made before fall. Meantime it is pretty certain the British an- thorities will not relax their care in protecting the disputed fishing grounds ‘rom whav they call the predatory visits of our fishermen. This determination has been expressed in the Eng- lish Parliament by the Minister of the Crown, and Admiral Seymour haz repeated it to the people of Nova Scotia. Our government per- mitted it last year; and from the fuct that they | consider it a proper subject for diplomatic ar- rangement, it is clear that, till it is settled, the conduct of the English government in coutina- ing to prevent our fishermen from going on the ground, cannot, at this late day, be construed into an offence. The vigilance ot Admiral Sey- mour will doubtless be increased. and if it has the effect of making our people alive to its in- convenience, it will fulfil the very end John Bull has in view. Wuat’s in THE Winn ?--George Saunders, the editor of the late Democratic Review. the re- presentative of young America, and the Consul to London, (that is to be, if the Washington correspondents are good authority,) as gone to Canada. Ha® he gone ona special mission to see Lord Elgin, and settle the fishing and reci- procity question? What says the Union? Surely young America don’t intend to adjust these questions whilst the Premier is thinking about it, and thus teke the wind out of his sails. Mr. Marcy must see to it, or he will find his di- plomatic career confined to those circulars which have caused so much dissatisfaction to the tailors of the national capital. Tuk Tencanterec Questioy.—What has be- come of it? Where is Don José Garay ? Where is Mr. Benjamin? Where is Mr. Hargous, or McIntosh & Co.? and where is Colonel Sloo? Have they all gone to Mexico, or are they all coming to the Crystal Palace, en route for Europe, or how! And where is Tehuante- pee just now? Will there be war? That’s the question. Does Guycrnor Marcy intend to take up this casus belii of Mr. Webster, and fight it out? Wait a little. There is some royal sport in preparation for us. Wait a little, and keep cool.

B. Reynolds, for the removal of blood, offal, bones, and dead animals, from the city, as a measure advantageous to the public health—the operations of certain bone-boil- ing and horse-skinning establishments in the upper wards having during the prevalence of the cholera in 1849 been the cause of riots and outbreaks, from the fact then made evident that these places were promotive of the spread of the epidemic, and the di- rect cause of the death of a number of persons where these places were located and where the mor- tality was greatest. This consideration alone, with- out the undoubted offensiveness at all times of these iactories, required that, as a sanatory measure, they should be suppressed within the limits of the city. The Common Council accordingly, after an examina- tion of the various plans and places submitted, and after every other measure failed, came to the conclu- sion that Barren Island was the only eligible place to take these refuse substances to, and authorized a contract to be made by the City Inspector, which was xccordingly perfected, and the operation of which has been highly beneficial to the public health to the present time, notwithstanding the embarrass- ments continually made by the persons who formerly carried on this business in the city. These parties have endeavored to cast reflections on the parties concerned in the contract, and in. duced Mr. Flagg, no doubt honestly, to refuse to make further payments until the validity of the con- tract shall be settled by legal decision; but the na- ture of the contract requires that its operations shall be continued until the decision be rendered, or that other means shall be devised to remove these sub- stances during the present season, without re-estab- ‘ishing these pestilential dens, The parties who were engaged in this business formerly are now endeavoring to prevent the con tractor, Mr. Reynolds, by every means, from carry- ng on his contract, in the hope that, if successful, no other person daring to take a contract, they may be enabled to resume their offensive but lucrative business. The last means resorted to for this pur- pose, was mob violence, by which they at tempted to destroy the boats, barges, boxes, fences, &c., of the contractor. Property of this kind amounting in value to between $3,000 and $4,000 was destroyed by some two hundred persons at the wharf atthe foot of Thirty-fourth street, East river, on Thursday night last, and threats having been ex- pressed that if any attempt should be made to take these refuse materials from the city, the property and perhaps the lives of the persons engaged in the work would be destroyed. It is imperatively neces- sary that these substances should be removed from the city, and that the lives and property of those en- gaged in the work should be protected against all lawless outbreaks. The Board of Aldermen last evening unanimously voted a reward of five hundred dollars for the detection and conviction of the rioters of Thursday night last. Some time ago we gave an account of Barren Island and the peculiar business which Mr. Reynolds had established there at an outlay of over seventy thousand dollars. Now it is a fact that by his indas- try and enterprise he has made it a source of consid- erable profit and that, at the same time, a monstrous nuisance bas been removed from the city. Several plans, it may be remembered, were devised for the removal of offal and dead animals; but they all proved ineffectual till Mr. Reynolds made his eontract with the Common Council, by which he agreed to clear the city of all such nuisances. The amount was not specified in the contract, but it was to cover the expense of removing the offal, &c. to Barren Island, where Mr. Reynolds was to be allowed the privilege of doing what he chose with them after that. A contract had previously been made, we un- derstand, with Mr. Coles, but as he failed from want of the proper means, the contract was given to Mr. Reynolds, who has up to the present time fulfilled all its obligations. Now, it is hardly fair or honorable, to allow others to step in for the contract, when it is found that he has succeeded in making it profitable. Ifhe is deprived of it he will be at a loss of seventy thousand dollars, while the city will have no guaran- tee that the work will be so faithfully performed by another. Let there be fair play and no double deal- ing in the matter. 'Taik on ’Change. News received by the Humboidt was not published until after the close of ’Change—too late to exercise any cortrel upon the transactions of the day. Cotton closed dullin this market, with sales of 900 bales Wheat was tolerably active at full prices, Flour was without material change. Corn sold toa fair extent, closing firmer. Dovsld McKay, Esq., the celebrated builder of fast clipper sbipr, sailed with Lis family in the Sovereign of the Seas for England. It was snggested that the cele brated clipper, in which Mr. McKay had taken passage, would exciie almost as much attention in England as a railing vessel as the North Star bad done as a fast steamer. Aship that bad, with sails and wind, made the distance of upwards of four hundred miles in a single day, could net fail to prove an object of some curivsity, It was likely that Mr. McKay, on behalf of himeelf and iriends, might be induced to sell out the Sovereign to the English. She wou'd serve for as good a model for clip- pers as the yacht America had done for yachts. And howld parties in Europe wish tu contract for a few Clippers to pot in the Australian or any other trade, Mr, McKay would be willing to supply them on very favora bie terms. It was stated that the architect who supplied the mocel for the yacht America would soon sail with another yaebt for England, which he designed should not only beat the America, but all other yachts, of whatsoever nation that might be brought out to ran against her. No objection was entertained against the proposition to | moke the navigation laws between Spain and the United Stutes reciprocally free. To bring this about would re- quire the action of Congress, and the repeal of the laws of 1832and %4. It would be well, while agitating the question, to elaim the adoption of greater reciprocity on the part of Syain in her tariff laws. She should iessen the enormous duties on American flour, and otber articles of Aweriean produce. There was some talk of another new bank being soon started, at the corner of the Bowery and Divisiou street. It iv to be called the Island City Bank. No cashier had been wppointed.

Her dimen- sions are:—Length, 190 feet; beam, 38 feet; depth, 2114 feet. She is owned by Messrs. Schiff, Bros. & Co., and is intended for the Ca‘iforvia and China trade. SreaMsuy Jamestowx.—This beautiful ship, recently completed for the New York and Richmond line, made her first experimental trip yesterday afternoon, for the pur- pore cf testing her engines. She went out as far as the light ship, a distance of twenty-five miles, and came up from there under easy steam in one bour and thirty-one minutes, Her engines worked very smoothly, and her performance was in every respect highly satisfactory, At a future day we sball give a full description of this ship. She leaves here on Saturday next, for Norfolk, Petersburg and Richmond. (lux Passencers oF Toe Smrp Wom AND Mary.—Four of the crew and twenty-threw of the passengers of the ship William and Mary, lost on the Bahama Banks on her passege from Liverpool to New Orleans, arrived at Liver” pool on the 6th inst, in the British bark Pollock, from New Orleans. They were the portion that escaped in the long beat. and reported taken on board a British bark. AxkRIVAL OF SOUTHERN ST£4MRRS.—The steamships Ala- bama, Captain Ludlow, from Savannah, and the Marion, Captain Berry, from Charleston, arrived yesterday morn- ing. By these arrivals wereceived files of papers from both cities, Personal Intelligence. Professor Vincenzo Botta, from Turin, formerly a Deputy in the Sardinian Parliament. arrived in New York by one of the last steamers, with a view of study- ing the free institutions of America, and particularly the organic system of the schools of the United States. Frou the commonalty of studies, no less than by the ties by country and blood, with Carlo Botta, the illustrious author of the ‘History of American Independence,” this gentleman comes amongst us to obtain on the spot, by his own observations, the necessary information to en- able him to continue the immortal work of his celebrated fellow countryman and friend, Italy is already indebted to Mr. Botta for a very extensive treatise concerning public instraction in Germany, by which work he ob- tained great praise from the Piedmontese press, as also from that of Germany, without mentioning the flattering thanks of his own government. The Turinese professor will gather from his observations in the United States, an ample amount of good principle acd noble example, and by turning his special researches to public education, we sball be enabled to perceive that he has thereby learned which is the key and basis of our institutions—for educa: tion includes the people and the country. Therefore, a true narrative ef eur school system comprehends the de- scription of our whole political, administrative and reli- gous system. By his affording to old Europe a genuine history of the strength which so thoroughly exists in the New World, he will confer a great service on the first who will know how to value the treasury of American liberties, and on the second, for whom although the youngest and most civilized, it is not certaialy the newest. Professor Bache, of the Coast Survey, was at New; R. L, on Monday. ” dag Gov. Paine, 0. Clark, Philip Greely, Jr., and D. W. C.

RECEPTION OF THE LIGHT GUARD BY THE CITY GUARD, ON THE RETURN OF THE FORMER FROM FAIRFIELD, CONN. Yesterday was the oceasion of a display which we are most happy to record, vamely, the reception of one of our city military companies by another city military company, when any feelings of jealousy that might hep- pen to exist were smothered in those of mutual friead- ship and good will, “Esto perpetua’’ is our most sinsere desire. It appears that the Light Guard had, on the previous day, gone on an excursion to Fairfield to cele brate their anniversary, and on their return yesterday evening they were welcomed with the warmth of fellow citizens and the sincerity of brother soldiers by theic | companions in arms, the City Guard. Accordingly, yes- terdsy evening, the City Guard, under the command of Lieut. Mondéon, received the Light Guard, under the eommand of Lieut. Bart, on their return from Fairfieid. ‘The Light Guard arrived at the depot of the New Haven | Railroad Company, in Capal street, at half past seven o'clock P, M., and immediately on descending from the curs, they marched down Canal street, across Broadway, preceded by Dodworth’s bend, to the place in the former treet where the City Guard, accompanied by Blown field's United States band, was in waiting toreceive them ‘The Light Guard having marched by the City Guard, who | presented arma on the occasion, went into line, company tort, and the City Guard in their turn passed by, giv ing them a marching salute, After the usual military ceremonies customary upon such oceasions, the City Guard, accompanied by their band, escorted the Light Guard to the ermory of the former, at 639 Broadway, the hands of each regiment, on the march, playing a succes sion of Lively ais fn turn. On their arrival. the City Guard went into line, and while the Light Guard wera euteriog the quarters of their companions in arma, Blom. fee's ban! played the weli known air of “If I thiak on thee in Friendsbiy’s pawe.’” Us entering the armory of the City Guard, where a ta- Die had been spread the length of the roou covered with refreshmeats, the Light Gua‘d arrayed themselves upou | | one rice and the City Guard on the other.

We have received files of the Comercio del Plata, pub- lished in Montevideo, extending up to the 30th April, and containing intelligence frum Buenos Ayres to the 2ich. Buenos Ayres still continued bieckaded by the forees of Urquiza. the Director of the Argentine Confederation. ‘We find published in the Comercio the following letter from Commodore McKeever, commanding the United States squadron on that station, to the commodore of the national forces:— x ee UENOS AYRES, 1853, Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge revigatece of our pote of the 23d inst , infor iis Excellensy the Director of th tion. that the po tof Buenos Ayres is date by the forces under your command, and that six days s1e conceded therefrom to permit the departure of sels for the interior, and twenty days for foreign verrels. I will give orde:s to all tbe ships under my command to. respect said biockade and not to hinder its execution, since it is impored avd carried on under the reeognized rules ¢f blockade, snd that all the requisite forms haye been cxmplied with Very respectfully your obedient servant, McKEEVER, oeeee in-Chief of the U. S, naval forces of the sta- tion, To Commod re Juan J Cox, General in-Chief of the national squadron, ‘This Commodore Coe is—we may say en passant—an American citizen, and a native of the State of New Jer- sey. He bas been for many years navigating the South American waters. A/rimilor letter was written by Commodore B. W. Hen- derson, of H. B. M. steamship Centaur, commanding the British rquadron. ‘The mediation offered on behalf of the governments o¢ Brazil and Bolivia bad been accepted, and the 28th of April was appointed for the delegates to meet and endea- vor to effect a reconciliation, The government had named Doctors Portelfa, Tejedor and Oblijade, and Gen. Urquiza bad named Don Fidel Lopez, Don Francisco Pico, and Colonel Ramira, Federation street, where the nego- tiation was to be carried on, was declared neutral ground forthe purpose. Hostilities were to continue on all the other points of the line. The versels blockading the port are four in number— the Correo, the Enigma, the Fama, and the Maipic, The English minister appears decided to admit the blockade, and bas questioned Admiral Henderson as to whetber the forces before the city were sufficient to make the blockade effective. On the answer of the Admiral will probably depend the conduct of Senor Hotham, In the city tne public spirit is unabated, the garrison serves with corrtancy, and the government promises to continue with firmness, ‘the Italian legion bad been tempted in various ways, and seports had circulated injurious to that corps, as far even as to say that Colonel Olivie:i was in communication with the enemy. fwo or three of his officers of different nations were arrested as suspeeted persons, but as to the Colonel’s officers and men there was no ground for sus- picion. It is ssid that the Brazilian minister does not recognize the blockade. The exceptions which Messrs. Hotham and St. George obtained from General Urquiza were that the English apd French vessels which might have sailed from Europe up to the 18th of June, should be admitted to the port pro- vided they carried no coal, victuals, utensils of war, sad- ales, or other horse equipments. The decree appointing Don Bernabé Carabia, Minister of the Treasury is revoked. Don Vicente Vasquez is ap- pointed Minister Secretary of State in the Treasury Da- partment. Latest from the Bahamas.

The sum ot £98 4s, 4d, had been collected in money, and was to be sent. His Excellency the Governor gave £20 jrom the crown fands. The ladies bad made up and forwarded five hundred and forty six articles of female apparel. The Governor had held a grand levee in Government House, upcn May 24, in honor of the birthday of Queen Victoria.
