The Great Western has made another prosperous and quick voyage
of thirteen days from New York to Bristol ; at which port she arrived on Wednesday night. Such, however, is the dis- graceful manner in which the Post-office commuilications are conducted in this country, that it was not till yesterday that the letters and papers she brought were delivered in London. An extra conveyance of the letters would have been too great an ac- commodation to the London merchants. However, as long as they submit quietly to the insolent neglect of the officials iii Sr. Martin's-he-Grand, they deserve the treatment they receive. Att energetic remonstrance would remedy the evil.

WOLFRED NaLsosr and his comrades reached Bermuda on the 28th of July. They were allowed to go freely about the island, on their parole of honour not to quit it.
According to one account, Lord DURHAM'S health was very in- different. The debates in Parliament on Mr. TURTON'S appoint- ment were read and commented on with much interest in the Canadian journals. They would speedily have more matter of a like description for the entertainment of their readers.
