The Washington steam-ship arrived off Cowes yesterday afternoon, and tins
telegraphed her latest dates from New York. These extend to the 20th September, and are as barren of news as the advices received earlier in the week, which presented no intelligence of the least interest.
The West Indian mail-steamer Trent also arrived at Southampton this morning. The accounts from Jamaica, to the 13th September, report that a misunderstanding had arisen between Sir Charles Grey and the local authorities, out of Sir Charles's refusal "to pay the legal tax on his income."
It was stated in a St.. Lucia paper, that the Emperor Faustin the First of Hayti had been assassinated by his Prime Minister.
The Trent has brought later news from California than the last received by the American route. The Panama papers state that the Squatters and Real-estate-owners at Sacramento, carrying with them from the Atlantic States the feud about rent, had broken into savage warfare. "Large numbers on both sides had been butchered, and among the killed were Major Bigelow and the City Assessor." "Sacramento city had been re- duced to ashes, and the Squatters were receiving reinforcements of men from the mines."
