have thus far got off' safely from the vici-

or -general booty, .drovea of cattle and
horses, and a number of prisoners. ,They
are reported to be running the railway up

and hardly at awhen there is a heavy

one to -get• into,.and -on this account all
vessels seeking an entrance must he towed
through the intricacies of a long, winding
channel before they can enter the creek,
which, greasy and stagnant and muddy as
it is, has made Chief* the most astonish-

- We landed at Howe's dock- at 10 o'clock,

We entered a magnificent structure, erect-

capable of holding some 4000 Worshippei's,_
but which; on this meas. ion, was r4cupied
-by only about one-fourth of that number.
After the artistk .singing, of -four musi-

the worldliness and general sinfulness of
the nation were deplored,the Rey. Preacher

some length, to the evident' dissatisfaction
of those whe wished to get away to dinner..

ehi Saturday, the 9thinstq after taking
our bearings and discovering from certain

the port of out destination, Mr, Mackie,
as soon as dinner was over, rose, and in

proposed and received Psi as • cordially.
Mr.Detlor made a' good speech in respelled
to the toast of '‘" The Commercial men of
