COLOMBO.
(From the Observer, Dec. 31.) "'" The Co?tpedeba.te Cetjtsebs. — The steamer Pearl has brought some intelligence this last trip of the steamers which lately disturbed the equanimity of the people of Matura, by unaccountable periodical visits to their coasts. The Pearl sighted a steamer answering to the description given by our correspondents some distance out to sea, south of Batticaloa ; and it was observed that she kept steaming parallel to the Pearl on her starboard quarter — hull not visible, her spars merely being seen. This continued until when about thirty miles south of Batticaloa, the strange steamer stood between the Pearl and the shore for some time ; but during the night another steamer appeared to the north, showing her lights, and both shortly afterwards disappeared, as if consort.
