Tux agricultural mind, as selected in the agricul tural journals, has been i% a Idabel some commotion, been the incidence of a monopoly operating against the growers of corn in this coantry. We reter to the monopoly of guano, which the Peruvian govern ment has thought to establish for its own peculiar benefit. Amongst many of oar improving farmers this foreign manure has become of late an article allemsary to their system of culture, and the plan spin which the government of Peru manages its impartation into this country has for some time been the meson of no little rural grumbling. The rano is only allowed to be taken from cer tain islands, which are government property, and is all consigned to ono firm in London, who of course regulate, or try to regulate, the price of the commodity, so as to obtain the greatest amount of money for the least possible quantity of manure. No more is admitted than will just pre vent the use of guano from being discontinued; and this is accomplished by the importers, having the exclusive supply, demanding a price so exorbitantly high, that nothing but the great facility and con venience with which the manure can be transported and used prevents farmers from discontinuing its use altogether. Indeed, not a few closely calculating agri culturists arc of opinion that nothing whatever is to be gained by the use of guano at the present monopoly price, that it is simply throwing money away, the errs produce not repaying the cost. On that point we offer no opinion ; but the increased and in creasing use of guano shows that large numbers of farmers conceive its application to their land to be beneficial. .%t all events we have this fact, stirring the bile of our agriculturists, that a manure son.o of them think worth purchasing at an extravagant price—and which all of them would use if sold at a reasonable rate—is retained, by moans of a monopoly, at the very highest price it can by any possibility be made to bear. But guano in the pre sent state of British husbandry is felt by so many farmers to be indispensable, that, like the breadeaterr when bread was a monopoly, they must have it at almost any price; and they are indignant, justly indignant, at the grasping policy of the Peruvian government, which prefers a high price for a small quantity,. to the more moderate price to be obtained by permitting the ordinary laws of supply and demand to operate upon tho article. This is just the ease of the corn monopoly put in force against our farmers, and their discontent with the arrangement proves that they do not like to be served as they once served the consumers of their own produce—they do not, in fact, like their corn to be meted out to them in their own measure. Is not this a lesson to all would-be mono polists ? Then our farmers will be told that the Peruvian government has a right to make the most of their commodity, to avail themselves to the uttermost, and in any way, of the existing com petition amongst farmers for guano; that unless an artificially high price should be gotten, the state of Peru could not pay the interest on its mortgage debts with the same convenience; and that therefore the monopoly is a necessity, and ought to be borne ungrudgingly by . British farmers. All this, and much more to a similar effect, was urged in support of that corn monopoly which our grain-growers have so recently resigned only on compulsion. Let us ask them how they like the aspect of monopoly.when they see it from the opposite side to that which they have been accustomed to look from? Surely this. reflection will occur to them when some maun dering Derbyite candidate asks for their votes on the plea that the toothless political creature would re-establish the food monopoly if he could. And in this as in like instances, the greediness of monopoly is likely to defeat its own end, for the ex travagant price at which real guano is sold has in troduced such a system of fraud and adulteration into the trade as well nigh to put an end to the use of guano altogether. We are told by the North British ~4yrirtittorist, that of any =of guano sold as genuine Peruvian, when the re suit given was forty per cent. of merl. And it is quite notorious that the manatecture of guano —or something which purports to be guano—is largely carried on, and that farmers are every day buying at W. or iL a ten seminal manures which have scarcely any hrtiliehst who whatever. And by consynence the geniis, oriole is getting into disrepute with so many persons that if the monopoly be much longer persisted in, other things will be in a great measure substituted for this really useful commodity. Such being the actual state of things existing be tween our agriculturists and the monopolists of guano—very analogous to that of the corn growers and the bread-eaters when the League began its work—the glimpse of a natural and complete remedy for the evils of monopoly has recently been opened to our farmers. That remedy monists in,—that thing once to them so full of dread—competition. New guano islands have been discovered; deposits as extensive and apparently more inexhaustible than those of the Peruvian government have rewarded the enterprising searches of some of our merchant sea men. Two guano islands, called Lobos Afeera and Lobos de Tierra, were lately discovered or re-dis covered by Ciiptain Beuga, visited by Capt. Deff som,an experienced guano carrier, and pressuesed to be an available souse for the supply of opal in quality and quantity to the Old islani of Pero.

At the sitting of the Corps Legislatif today, several members applied for and obtained leave of absence for short periods. M. Billault observed, from the chair, that the Wainer' of the house would now become daily more and more important. Ho hoped, therefore, that members would abstain as much as possible from asking leave of absence. M. Vernier presented the report upon the bill for the better re pr -ion of orimes and misdemeanours committed in foreign countries. The order of the day was then read, for the discussion of the bill for definitively settling the accounts of 1838. The several articles were voted without opposition or remark. On the question being put that the bill do now par, NI. Brohier proposed that the house should adjourn the debate until after M. Lequien's report should have been inserted in the Monitore. It was desirable that all Franco should know what revolutions cost, and how fallacious were the Fondues of revolution-makers. M. Billault said the report would be printed in the Mositrur, but he would observe that it had already been distributed to members. and it, therefore, appeared to him that itiwas anueeeerry to adjourn the debate. The bill thee paned, by 180 votes against 1, and the house adistill Fiiday. t il appears, by M. Lequien's report, to which I al luded yesterday, that the definitive expences for 1848 amounted to 1,746,660,304 fr. 610.; and the receipts, to 1,762,258,396 fr. 10e., leav ing a surplus of 15,597,891.49. But the expense, of the colonies not included in the above account, sera to 18,602,9421 r. There is, therefore, for 1141 a Mak of 3,005,050.31. The report, hew ing*, states thitt this deficit represents but a small part Weed of the seasequenoes of the revolution of ISM. The previsional government met its expenses es mese extraordinary taxation, including the 49 onetime'. According to c alculations and estimates contained in the report of 1848, left as a l s e o r p z a te 1849, a deficit of 214 millions, after the ab et 175 millions from extraordinary re sources, to 1850 a deficit of 36 millions after the absorption of 133 millions of extraordinary re sources, and to 1851 • deficit of 86 millions after the absorbtion of 135 millions of ex traordinary resources. The report sums up the sins of 1848 by charging it with having cost the public revenue of France upwards of three millions of Francs, and with having occasioned greater losses to the country than resulted from the double inva sion of 1814 and 1815. It concludes by expressing a sanguine hope that Louis Napoleon will for ever close the gulph in which so many milliards have been lost. Notwithstanding the numerous amendments sent by the committee of the budget to the Conseil d'Etat, it k thought to-day that the committee will not make any serious opposition. There will be two reports, one on the expenses and another on the receipts according to the old custom. The former will pro bably propro pose no serious amendment to the budg e t iof 1853, n consideration of the difficulty of the pre sent situation. But it will point out the reforms which the esiamittee desire, to see applied to suc ceeding budgets, and be esalincd to offering advice, criticisms. sad eramslises for future practice.

OPENING OF THE SUBMARINE TELE GRAPH BETWEEN ENGLAND AND IRE LAND. Yesterday evening the electric communication, by submarine telegraph, was oomplete between England and Ireland ! Lest night was received at the this office an electric message announcing this im portant and interesting fact, dated—" Dublin, June 1, 8 o'clock, r.u." Thu message was in London by ten o'clock, and was sent to us by the proprietors of the new line, It. S. Newell and Co., of Gateshead. It is understood that Mr. Newell, aided by Mr. Statham, of the Gutta Percha Works, City-road, with a staff of assistants, began to sink the wire—which is seventy miles long—at two o'clock yesterday morn ing, and in eighteen hours the work was complete. Three other submarine telegraphs are, it is stated, in progress between England and Ireland, at different points, but Mr. Newell's, between Holyhead and Kingstown, enjoys the enviable distinction of being first in actual operation. The next news of this kind that may be looked for is the completion of an electric communication between England and Bel gium via Ostend. TUESDAY, I nun I. About twenty minutes past twelve today, when the business of our Corn Exchange was at its height, • fatal catastrophe occurred that spread consternation and alarm to the utmost limits of the town. Our reporter was within half a dozen yards of the entrance of the building, when a ery was raised that the place was falling, and a rash was made to the door, but in. stantanoously, the whole of the centre portion of the floor ing gave way, and the seine that ensued defies descrip• tion. _ _ The Corn Exchange is a new fabric, whose foundation consists of a series of transverse arches, each about 10 feet deep, upon the top of which a temporary flooring has been placed, until the entire building shall be completed. The building is divided into three compartments. Massive iron columns support the roof, these column.. resting upon but tresses of brickwork, the entrance. door being in the middle of what may be termed the centre compartmect, and situated Immediately between the iron pillars referred to. The conservative or protectionist candidates, Slaws. Forbes Mackenzie, M.P., and Mr. Charles Turner, were present at the time of the occurrence, and a large assem blage of persons connected with the corn trade, together with the miscellaneous public, had congregated, to hear the hon. gentlemen expound their views to the electors, whom they were there to canvass. In the midst of a conversation, every word of which was eagerly caught at by the crowd pressing around, a cry was raised that the building was falling, when in a moment the entire centre compartment fell in with a tremendous crash, carrying with it in its fall both the honourable candidates ' as well as the corn factors, millers, farmers, shippers, and bakers, who were all hud dled together and cove red, and in many cues severely bruised by the fallen sample stands of the factors. The scene at this moment was of the most painful charac ter. Every moment it was expected that the immense roof, supported solely by the iron columns above described, would fall in, but happily the brick buttresses upon which they axe placed are of more enduring workmanship than the fragile arches which have been the cause of the present catastrophe. For a space of forty or fifty feet on either side of the doorway, the floor had mink to the depth of from ten to twelve feet, extending throughout the entire width of the Exchange; and the cries and groans of the struggling sufferers were distinctly audible to the crowds who usually assemble un market days in the streets adjacent to Bruns wiek street. Immediately the most vigorous efforts were mode to ex tricate those who had been imbedded in the fallen brick work, and in a few minutes the united power of a strong body of labourers was brought to bear upon the ruins, the approach to the Corn Exchange being guarded from the rush of the anxious multitude by a number of the police force, commanded by Capt. Ureig. So far as the candidates wore concerned although they were on the spot which was first observed to be giving way, they were rescued without the slightest inj ur y, an d we arc happy to state that, considering the depth of the fall, and the numbers who were thrown together with the weight of the corn-stands, the extent of injury has been comparatively slight. Yet we must deplore the loss of two lives, being two of the labourers who wore em ployed about the building, and who had retired beneath that portion which gave way, for the purpose of eating their dinners. Both bodies were extricated from the superia cumbent mw about half an hour after the occurrence, but ono was found to be already dead, and the other died a few minutes afterwards, although medical assistance was ready at the moment the unfortunate man was brought from beneath the ruins. The compartments on either aide of that portion which has given way are still standing, and all the factors and dealers who were in those portions of the building, of course e,caped uninjured. As soon as sufficient room could be cleared, temporary stages were erected, upon which planks were placed to enable those who still remained in the building to make their escape, it being at this time consi dered doubtful whether the pillars were entirely secure, in consequence of the supporting arches being removed from one side of the whole of them. Many of the factors who fell with the flooring were se verely bruised, and tome of them had to be conveyed to their offices bleeding and insensible ; but, u we have above remarked, considering the immense number of persons present, the weight of the materials, and the nature of the building, it is wonderful that not more lives were sacrificed than those of the two unfortunate men above alluded to. A LATER ACCOUNT. It is now fearzfi that there are two more workmen buried beneath the brick-work, and that the wives of two of the workmen who were present with their husband's dinners were also beneath the arches when they fell in. Search is now being made for them among the ruins. Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie, on emerging, and being at the time wholly unaware that any serious consequences had resulted, were among the first to leave the building.

SIR HARRY SMITH AT PORTSMOUTH. PORTSMOUTH, Juxa 1. A second address has been presented to-day to LieutAleneral Sir Harry Smith. That presented yesterday was from the corporation ; the one presented to-day was adopted at a large meeting of the inhabitacta of the borough generally. It was presented by the mayor in the Guild hall, a large number of people being preterit. It was as follows : To Lieut.-General Sir Harry Smith, Bart. Gallant Sir,—The inhabitants of the borough of Ports mouth approach you with their warmest congratulations on your safe return to England after a service of unequalled difficulty, which, by a rare combination of political sagacity and military valour, you have brought apparently to a suc cessful termination. It was with feelings of great confi dence in your ability for that arduous undertaking that they addressed you in 1847, on your departure from this port for South Africa, to assure you of the sympathy and ad miration with which they regarded you; and they now welcome you most heartily on your return home from that harassing service, and congratu late you on the subjugation of that desperate horde of savages, who had so long carried on their desolating warfare against her Majesty's subjects in those parts. And now, gal ant air, in conclusion, we express a fervent hope that the same Almighty power that has hitherto protected you in so many and varied dangers, may still be vouchsafed to you in your honourable retire- ment, regarded as you ever will be by your fellow-country men as one of England's brightest ornaments and bravest , defenders." The MAYOR, in presenting the above address to Sir Harry, said he did so with the greatest pleasure. It bad been agreed to unanimously at a meeting of the inhabitants, who desired to express their sympathy with a brave and salient officer, who had been withdrawn at the moment of victory from the scene of his triumph. (Cheers.) Sir HARRY SMITH, in returning thanks, said he did so with every feeling of a grateful heart. He had many years elate embarked at Portsmouth on the first campaign be had ever been engaged in, when he was not only unknown to the world, but to himself. For no youth was aware of the latent qualities he might hereafter display, and if he (Sir Harry) had, is his long eventful career, done anything to deserve the encomiums that had been pared on him, he could only say that he had achieved what was every man's wish and endeavour to do, an ample reward in the appro. bation of the country that gave him birth. (Chem.) The position in which he had been recently placed was an arduous one in every respect. He believed few men bad ever stood in a more difficult position. (Hear, hear.) But he was proud in tieing able to say he bad been ntecesefal in rescuing the colony committed by her Majesty to his government from the dangers In which it was placed. (Cheers.) This he boldly said he had dose. (Renewed cheers.) And he bed now left a brave army under arsine and able commander, who know how to turn that army to good amount. It might not be quite right to my it, but it was the truth, that soldiers were better satisfied with some 1101M1M1111110 theses with others—(hear)--and if he had been swessehl in his earlier, it wee to the gallant British army that be owed that somas rather than to any abilities it bad pleased Almighty God to bless him with. (Applause.) He did say that there wee never an army pied In a position of greater danger and 411104, with Mote obstmehe to encounter, than that he lii (Maly ooesmeaded. (Hear, War.) Not that they son end hunger or privation, for they were well provisioned; We they were eampedled to be oas night after sight in the bath without searibing but a blesket to cover them from the biwarasy of lie weather ; ell they tallied bravely around Nan andeppeated to alai Fend of having to males& with their invilble enemy is the hype that they weld sitimately meet with the approbellea of their amatry. (Hear, Wu.) Hs candidly admitted it was mosewbst pastel Is a veteran heart to be remiled from an army ttiampheat in itself sad satisfied sad ossionissi with italoneni. (Load applause.) But all men In high and pat& sitsatioee must feel they have a responsible duty to pedant as advisers of her Majesty and ea represintetives edam *matey ; sad if those placed over him (Mt Harry Smith) by her Majesty thought it their duty to mew to wards him the madam they did, be bowed with sahmalan. (Cheers.) Bat he felt proud in being able W say he had Irta victorious army. (Renewed applause.) lie bad left the okay of the Cape of Good Hope—alluding to its civil administris- Ws—without one particle of its public business Mft un done, and he had left a treasury without a debt—(hear, hear)—• people improving among themselves, and only In want of the active operation of the constitution be had so strenuously endeavoured to get for them. But he must admit that her Majesty's late government were very desi rous of giving to the Cape the advantages of a constitutive. Therefore, whilst he submitted readily to the position in whit's he was now placed, he meld with misty state that he bad done all that lay fa his power to lead the army to success, and to the good civil adagaistration of the colony committed to his charge--es ae to leave THE SOUTHWARK ELECTION. Yesterday evening the electors of Southwark were convened at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, for the purpose of hearing an address from Bir William Moles worth, and considering the hon. baronet's claims in refer ence to the approaching election. The room, which is a capacious one, was densely thronged. The hon. barouot, on entering, was received with cheers and hisses—the former, however, greatly preponderating, Ho was accom panied by Mr. B. Osborne, M.P., and several of his principal supporters in the borough. On the motion of Mr. Saanr, Mr. Scovsu, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, after reminding the meeting of the object for which it was assembled, said ho would candidly confess that the chief ground of his own anxiety for the re election of Sir William Molesworth was the great attention which he bad paid to local Interests. He was thoroughly persuaded that the hon. baronet was the true representative of a large majority of the constituents ; and he would now call upon him to address the meeting. Sir W. MOLISWORTR was received with cheers. He said his object in addressing them was to ask them &pin to do him the honour of returning him to parliament.' (Cheers.) Twice already they had done him that honour. Seven years he had at in the House of Commons as one of their representatives ; for twenty years he had been &mem ber of the legislator* of this country. (Hear, hear.) The first nil put I rish at the present moment wee that of free trade. gars Mien was now on the eve of ,being settled in the Gals maser in which it could be settled, after a seemmtul straggle of many years. For the last six years the protectionist party had done their blot to 0•1111.0111 free trade; now they ware In power, and wow if ever, was their time to restore pratestioni bat es wort, was the power of truth, *it b mos *ode hardy M shandon all their principles, and IS Wands the Islam* of the statesman whom they so usserupoloasly reviled and persecuted. Now, the only real =r to free** which he saw looming in the distance arise bees hepatiree of direct taxation. (Hear, I bear.)

(Hear, hear.) As long u the state meal gave rapport to the seminaries of the Uglier mai chunk's, to dieendow Maynooth would be a revival of the old and hateful policy of treating Roman catholies as a I , favoured class of citizens; and would be a d e p arture fru : the wise and tolerant policy which kad prevailed since the time of catholic emancipation. (Cheers.) Mr. Spooner's motion was a part of that base, sneaLiug, and miserable policy which upright and straightforward Englishmen would see through and despise. Ile meant the policy o f Lord Derby. And this brought him to the last political question upon which he should address them, namely, L or e Derby himself. (Laughter.) Lord Derby was now a NH tical question. (Cheers and laughter.) That name was inscribed upon the banners of certain candidates as the symbol of their political faith, as fres trade or retire e were fotmerly inscribed upon their banners. (Hear, bear.) I What did it mean? It did not moan the famous Lord Stanley of the Howse of Commons. Ile was an eloquent orator the Rupert of debate, ready t o carry the reform bill at the expense of a revolution. (Rear, Lear.) Rot, zealous, chivalrous, without a particle of statesmanship, fur six years he misgoverned the colonies. There was scarcely a colonial grievance of any importance which might not be traced to his mismanagement. Re produced a rebellion in Canada (may he out produce another —be sowed the seeds of our costly wars in South Africa— he caused the hideous demoralisetiun of Van J./screen's Land, for be was wrong-healed, obstinate, ignorant, rash, reckless, and careless of consequences, but, uu the whole, frank, straightforward, and manly. (Mu c h c h eer i ng. ) '1"h; Lord Stanley was not the Lord Derby who appeared on the hustings of the present day. Who was he ? A free trader in the towns, a protectionist in the counties—(loud cheers)—pro-fdaynooth in Ireland, auti•Maynooth is England and Scotland—(renewed cheers)—saying one thing one day, retracting it the next, repeating it the third, equivocating about it the fourth—a po litical jockey—(roars of laughter) —riding a losing horse, hoping to win by a crow—(great laughter) —a thimble-rigger, gammoning clowns and chawbacons with the pea of protection, which would never be found under any one of his thieubles—(laughter)—a truckler to the bigotry which he intended to betray—the leader of men who had no convictions; whose only rule of political mo rality was success; the end and aim of whose existence was the gratification of personael ambition—men long eager tor power, surprised at obtaining it, unscrupulous as to the means of retaining it; recreant prutectienists, dishonest freetraders—hiding insincerity under the mask of intole rance ; too pusillanimous to stick by their colours—not courageous enough to take up a new position. (Great cheering.) In speaking thus of the Derbyites, he did not mean to speak of all who sat upon the ministerial aide of the house, or even of all the members of Lurd Derby's government; for many of them were upright honourable English country gentlemen, who long believed in protection, now perceived that it could not be restored, and wished honestly to abandon it. lie spoke only of the more active chiefs of the party, and of more whom Lord Derby would term statesmen. Fur Lord Derby, in one of his speeches, likened a statesman to a bark, which trimmed its sails and altered its course with each changing wind and varying breeze. This was not his (Sir W. hioleeworth's) notion of a statesman: he likened the true statesman mad upright politician to a steam vessel, which pursued its steady course amidst storms and waves, in dellaucc of adverse melee and app sing tides, and straightfurwanl reached its destined port. (Loud cheers.) Sir William Molesworth concluded by thanking the meeting for the attention which he lied received, and offering to answer any questions which luiht be put to bins. Ile sat down amidst loud cheers. Among other questions the hon. baronet was asked wl.e. tber he would vote against the third reading of the Mi. litia Bill, and whether, if the bill passed, he would "ate for its repeal ? To both these questions he replied in the affirmative. Mr. Witsow thin moved a resolution pledging the meeting to support the return of Sir William Moksworth at the approaching dissolution of parliament. The resolution, after being seconded by Mr. L. ElllttE. TON, was put to the meeting, and carried by a considerable majority. On the motion of Mr. kfAiltitS, seconded by Mr. Mai, a resolution was passed fur the formation of a committee, and the adoption of all necessary steps en the candidate's behalf. A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, on the motion of Br. Evaxs, and the meeting then difilk - rat d. BRISTOL.—Nir. IL Berkeley, the liberal member for Bristol, paid a visit to his constituents yesterday, and his intention having become known in that city, some of the working men put out a bill, calling upon their co-elee tors to give him • hearty reception. This invitation was heartily responded to by the people. The station at the railway was crowded by the leading members of the free trade party, and the streets immediately adjacent to the terminus, and, indeed, throughout the centre of the city, were rendered almost impassable by the multitude which crowded them. From the windows of many of the Louses in the route, gaga and banners, bearing suitable mottoes, were suspended, and two bands of music, presided by some of the operative voters, preceded the cavalcade through the city, playing See the conquering Hero." The people took the horses from his carriage and drew him through the streets. MOSION.—Three candidates arc now busily en g►ged soliciting the suffrages of the electors. Mr. Benj. Bond Cabbell, en conservative principles, as a supporter of the present government ; Mr. J. A. liankcy, the West India merchant, on liberal and free-trade principle* ; and Mr. O. 11. Heatheote, as a protectiombt. Mr. Mulkey has proceeded three days on his canvass, and met with great succees. MANI -. Bright, in his late address to the electors of Manchester, said: " The next time Mr. Loeh goes to confession he will feel it upon hi. conscience to explain who paid the 5,0001. or 6,0001. that were ex pended at Falkirk." Mr. Loch has since addressed the "independent electors," and complains that Mr. Bright has charged him with expending 5,000/. or 6,0001. Mr. Loch says he did not pay more than 2,6001. to 2,6001., and this upon legitimate expenses. Now, Mr. Loch polled exactly 644 votes, so that his legitimate expenses cost nearly 61. a head. To win Manchester he will require something like 6,000 vote', which, at a similar rate, would cost 30,000/., rather a heavy pries for tte honour of representing the people of Manchester. ItvE.—On the present member for nye having signified his intention to retire from next parliament, tho only candidate was Mr. Pomfret, the banker: a new candi date, on free trade principles and for liberal measure., has now entered the field, Mr. Alexander Mackinnon, the eldest son of the member for Lymington, who has expres sed his determination of affording every liberal on upper lesd_q of recording his vote. WEST SURREY.—On Monday afternoon a num saaa sad very influential meeting of the electors of West Barret' was hell at the Crown Ina, Chcrtsey, to hear from asked B. Challoner, of Portnall park, the liberal and fret trade candidate, a detailed explanation of his political opinions. The chair was taken by Captain the lion. C. C. Cavendish, RN., and Col. Challonor having explained his political views, Mr. R. W. Edgell (who contested the county in 1849) congratulated the meeting upon having obtained a candidate so peculiarly qualified to carry out their views. and proposed that they should at once take steps to presets the return of Colonel Challoner. An in fluential esonaittse was then appointed, and the proceed ings terndasind. PICTURES FOR THE NATIONAL OALLERT.—A pur chase has been made on the part of the trustees of the National Gallery of London, at the sale of the late M►rshal Soup's collection, of a picture by Titian, and also of a pic ture at another sale in Paris, for the purpose of being depo- sited in that national establishment. The picture+ have been shipped to London ria Calais, and removed with every care to the National Gallery. INDISPOSITION OF NIA.

It is satisfactory to state, however, that the hon. gentleman was so far recovered by the afternoon as to lie able to leave town for his residence at Hatfield. ILLNESS OF Ma. ROEBUCK.—We regret to learn that since Mr. Roebuck's departure for London on Satur day last he has been severely indisposed and unable to attend to his duties in parliament, and wo fear that some little time must elapse before it will be prudent fur him to resume them.—Sheffield Times. STEAM TO AtlSlSALlA.—Yenterday morning the Australian steam ship, belonging to the Australian 103%1 Mail Steam Packet Company, tett the moorinus off the en. trance to the East India Docks, on her " minden" voyage for Australia. She is a flue-looking vessel, 1,400 tons bur then, worked by the screw. She carries out a very valu able cargo, and upwards of 200,0001. in specie, braider no lea than 180 pawners, of whom 48 are first-claw pas wingers. Two SHIPS LOST of TILE ICE. Letters were brought by the Europa steamer, communicating the loss of two vomela in the ice. The intelligence was :made known by the master of the Lady Bannerman, of Prince Edward Wank which has been locked in the ice all the winter, Mariam and Chaticanth. While off the latter place, he observed a largo ship in the ice, about 20 miles from land, and with part of his crew and some persons from the shore started from the wreck. After a tedious and dangerous passage over the drifting ice, they succeeded in reaching the spot, and discovered the Tema to be the Aberdeen of Liverpool, about 800 tons burthen, bound to Quebec. There were no persons on board, and all the boats belonging to her were gene, leaving the party to suppose that the crew had taken to them and were safe. About five miles from where the Aberdeen lay, they observed another vessel ; she was a schooner, embedded in the lee.
