The above is taken from the Argus of November 6. In the same paper we find the following remarks:— " The fragments of later English and American news that have come to hand within the last few hours, will whet the anxiet}' of the public for the details that will be brought by the incoming mail, of the late important events in America and Italy. The Confederates, ia full march on Washington, is indeed a pregnant piece of intelligence ; and there is a melancholy interest in the fate of Garibaldi, wounded and a prisoner in the hands of the Italian Government which he so powerfully helped to raise. The mail steamer is due in Hobson's Bay on the 10th inst. It is probable, i however, from the favourable character of the i winds experienced by the Carl on her voj'age from Batavia, and the Prince Carl on her run irpm the Mauritius, that the Northam may reach King George's Sound a tTay or two before her time^ Should she succeed in doing so, and the Wonga Wonga being in waiting off Albany, it is not improbable that the usual telegraphic summary by way of Adelaide may reach us in the course of to-morrow." "

The Melbourne Herald, of the same date, has the following remarks : —" Slight as is the American news via Batavia from England, it is too important to he entirely passed over. The English mail of the 12th of September had arrived overland, and brought accounts of the continued success of the Confederates. The date is'important—the 12th September, and the 4th September,—the former, and not the latter, being the date of the intermediate overland mail. This, consequently, brings down the news another fortnight, and leaves us only from the 12th September to the 26th September, for anticipation of events by the next snail."
