‘The United States mail steamship Fulton, Captain Wot- ton, which left Havre on 12th instant, arrived at tais port yesterday morning. Her news has been anticipated by the arrival of the ‘Eren at Boston, and the Canada at Halifax. ‘The Fulton reports that the hopes for the safety of the malesing mail steamship Pacitic have subsided in England, 44 being believed that the unfortunate vessel has been erushed in the ite, ‘The Fulton has brought $86,000 in specie. Im the House of Commens, on the 10th inst., Sir E. B. Lytton gave notice that immediately atter Easter he should call the attention of the House to the disputes be- ‘tween her Majesty’s government and the government of the United States with respect to Central America. Imreference to the Bay Islands, Mr. Gibson said it ap: peared that certain islands om the coast of Central America had been created into a British colony, under the name of ihe Bay Islands Colony. He wished to know, therefore, from tne Colonial Secretary whether the Queen’s warrast had been issued, coastituting that eolony, and if so, what was the dete of that warrant, and whetfr it would te laid before Parliament, also what was the date of the apprintment of the presiding magistra‘e of the Bay Islands Coleny. Mr. Laboucbere seid the warrant was issued March 20, 1852, and he had no objection to ley it on the table. ‘The first magistrate was appointed August 5, im that year, and there ha‘ beer one or two appointments since —very recently.
