Suspicious.

--The European Times reproduces the following somewhat suspicious statement from a Greenock paper:

‘ The steamer Fingall is announced to have cleared at that port recently ‘"for Madeira and the West coast of Africa,"’ with a cargo of munitions of war valued at £49,000. It is difficult to believe that 11,341 rifles, 409,000 cartridges, 500 sabres, ‘"a quantity of wrought leather belts,"’ seven tons of shell, four pieces of artillery, and so forth, are destined for negroes. African trade guns are not usually rifled, and it is just possible that our Greenock contemporary has, by a slip of the pen, substituted ‘"Madeira and the West coast of Africa"’ for ‘"the Southern States of North America." ’

’
