AMERICA. The Canadian Mail steamer North American, which left Portland, Maine, on the 20th ult., ar rived at Liverpool yesterday afternoon. She brings New York papers to the 20th ult., and telegraphic intelligence, via Portland, to the evening of the same day. A telegraphic summary of her news has already been published. The North German Lloyds' steamer Hansa, which left New York on the 20th ult., arrived at Southampton yesterday afternoon, on her way to Havre. She brings 67 passengers and 53,000 dollars in specie for England. . . . . The following account of the Federal victory at Kinston, which 31r. Reuter's telegram of yesterday strangely enough announced u a Confederate vic tory, is from the New York Titus of the 20th ult. : W ode on Saturday last the great battle raged all day at Fredericksburg, forty miles this side of Richmond, another battle, of smaller proportions, was going on at a point one hundred and sixty miles south of Richmond, two hundred miles south of Fredericksburg—at Kinston, North Carolina. Our first news of the latter engagerceot was by a despatch from the rebel General Evans to the authorities at Richmond, dated on Sunday last, which announced that General Foster bad attacked Kioston the previous day with 15,000 men and nine gunboats ; and, s►id the rebel officer, " I fought them ten hours, and have driven them back to thei gunboats ;" but, added he, " his army (Fosters) is still in my front?' A telegram this morning from Fortress Monroe puts quite a different aspect on the results of the corny znent. It is briefly that "General Foster's forces have taken Kinston, capturing 500 prisoners and 11 pieces of artillery." It may be that the battle was undecided after the ten hours' engagement of Saturday, and was renewed next day by our army with grrater success; or it may be that the despatch of the rebel commander deviated slightly from truth and from the facts. Which ever may be the case, it is certain that this not unimportant point is now in possession of our forces; for we give an extract from a Richmond paper which puts the matter beyond dispute. But we have no idea that General Fortes movement terminated with Kin ston. Kinston is a mail town on the Norse River, about forty miles above Newham, where, in March last, one of our best-fought battles was won by Generel Burnside. Its im portance at present, and in its bearing on the campaign, consists in the fact that it is only some twenty-five mike from Goldsboro, which is on the line of the grant railroad that runs from Aquia Creak, through Fredericksburg and Richmond, down to Wilmington, N.C., and is at the junc tion of th►t road with the one running from Newbern and Beaufort to Raleigh. Goldsboro was nodoubtedlys the point at which Geoeral Foster aimed ; and as the Nettle River is navigable from Kinston up to and beyond that point, there is little doubt that if or- troops captured Kinston last Saturday or Sunday, they have by this time been pushed cap to Goldsboro. That place in our hand; and the rebels at Richmond are out off from the use of one of the most valuable railroad systems in tho South. They have still, it is ti ue, the road running from Richmond to Danville, and from thence connecting with the Southern system—the break in which line from Danville to Greensboro Jeff. Davis lately had completed, in anticipation of the vet/ movement of oar forces which has now taken place. So that, even if we have Goldebwo, we do not entirely cut off **rebel communication with the States of the Southern seaboard ; bat we have taken one suistassful step which makes the salt easier—we have cut off one of the arms by which the rebels annoy to Richmond supplies and faros. Gs/datum is (slut the than eighty miles by reamed from Weldon, which was pmerally supposed to be the dee libation of Gemmel Banks' expedition, and at which paint Fceter's column and the column from Suffolk wars to unite with the troops of General Banks, and the oombised army then march upon Petersburgh and up to the line of the James River. That beautiful and feasible inommeat, which eo plowed the public , mind for several days, was sot, it mem; in accordance with General Hal bicies ideas of strategy ; far Bathe and his expeditica are by this time in the Gulf of Mexico. Neverthr less, we have so doubt that if it please. ear military authorities to properly and quickly reinforos General Foster, he will push up to Waldeck and Petersburgh himself, even without the 00-OpO7llUOO of the able soldier who, it was hoped, was about to lead in the attack oa the rear of the rebel capital. Some people will be astonished to find that the rebels had an army at Kiloton last Saturday, able to cope with the military and naval force which General Foster led up the Nun River. It must be remembered, however, that thag had anticipated an attack somewhere in the rear of Richmond simultaneous with the grand assault el oar army on the main rebel force at Fredericksburg ; sag as General Foster had been preparing for this mow meet some days before it was actually made, they had gathered up several thousand men and planted them on the line of the Weldon and Wilmington Railroad, prepared to defend any point that might be attacked in the vicinity of that road. They knew there were but few points which his gunboats could reach, and therefore threw up earthworks at each of those points, prepared to rush to and &bad either of them. It is quite likely, too, that Lee bad week confidence in the overwhelming strength of his works on the heights of Fredericksburg, that be knew he could spare • few thousand men from his main &Ay to defend any Obit vital point that we might email. We have a hope that our military authorities will tot permit the hives ant work so well begun by General Foster to end where it hal begun ; but that toey will so atreogthen his column that he can push up to Petersburgh, and co-ope rate in the seat peat movement which we are confident General Bimini& will not wait long to commence. The New York Herald of the 20th confirdis the news of the Federal success at Kinston, North Carolina, in the following terms : The report of the defeat of General Foster at Kinston, North Carolina, which was promulgated in • despatch from the rebel General Evans, proves to be entirely So far from ban a detest the affair proves to be a Vatory for the Union arms. After three days' Air wishing and fighting, commenting on the 11th lost., General Foster captured Kinston, driving off the forces of General Evans, killing and wounding 250 rebels, taking 9C3 prisoners and 11 pieces of artillery. One lose is the action was not more than 200. After this MICCOIIII our troops advanced in the direction of Goldsboro and Weldon, the occupation of these places being the main object of the expedition. The accounts by our correspondents today contain all the particulars of this important movement. We also give a map of the locality to illustrate the design of General Foster. Our gunboats attempted to support the land forces, but owing to the shoal water in the Nense River, they were not able to render much assistance. The gunboat Allisoo, however, ;of the Emilie artillery force, showed some fight, but was met by ► battery of the enemy within two miles or Kinston, the tire from which did her some serious damage, and finally compelled her to retire. The flotilla, on its re turn down the river, was conatutly Brad upon by guenllas from the shore. The tidal rebel aeceusts to the Ifith inet. report that artillery firing was heard below Goldsboro= that day. No fighting occurred up to the 16th. The same paper says : The Richmond papers also contain an account of Geseml Footer's expedition against Kinston (N.C.), which plus they any was attacked on the 14th by • large body of Atoll. tioeists, when • severe battle was fought between 3,000 re b e l„ , un d er General Evans, and the " invaders." The fight lasted from eight a.m. to one p.m., when the rebels were compelled to retire. This accords with our informa tion, and it is worthy of rem►rk that the same mail which brought the above sews brought also the contents of the post office at Kinston entire, which was captured by one of the Herald's correspondents, in company with the agent of the sweated Press. Tho news from the Rappahannock is unim portant. No encounters take place on either side. "With the exception of a few shots fired from the Union batteries on the hills to disperse some bands of rebels which appeared to be gathering •in numbers sufficiently large on the opposite aide of the river (says the Resuld of the 20th), there was no hostile movement made by either army on the Rappahannock yesterday. The enemy's pickets are the south bank thickly, but they observe a peaceful, and somewhat friendly aspect towards our men." The first accounts of the Federal 10118011 at the battle qf Fredericksburg were, as might be imagined, considerably exaggerated. The official statements reduce the numbers to 1,41.10 killed and 8,000 wounded. The Rich- . • THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY mond estimate the Confederate loss at 3,000, :N e s7knowledge the arrival at Richmond of 2,500 wounded. In the following account, how ever, of the battle of Fredericksburg by General Lee, the Confederate losses are stated to be "about" 1,800 killed and wounded : Ifeedquartere, Army of Northers Virgin* D 50.14. The Honourable Secretary of War, Richmond, Va. Sir,—On the night of the 10th inst. the enemy eons. meimed to throw three bridges over the Rappahannock— two at Fredericksburg, and the third about a mile and quarter below, near the mouth of the Deep Run. The plain on which Fredericksburg stands is so completely com manded by the bills of Stafford, in possession of the enemy, that no effectual opposition could be offered to the con struction of the bridges on the passage of the river without exposing our troops to the destructive fire of his numerous batteries. Positions weretherefore selected to oppose his ad ranee after crossing. The narrowness of the Rappahannock, its winding course and deep bed, afforded opportunity for the construction of bridges at points beyond the reach of our artillery, and the banks bad to be watched by skirmishers. The l►tter, sheltering themselves behind the houses, drove back the working parties of the enemy at the bridges oppo site the city ; but at the lowest point of crossing, where no shelter could be had, our sharpshooters were themselves driven off, and the completion of the bridge was effected about noon on the 11th. _ In the afternoon of that day the enemy's batteries opened upon the city, and by dark bad so demolished the houses on the river bank as to deprive our skirmishers of shelter, and, under cover of hie guns, be effected s lodgment in the town. The troops which had so gallantly held their position in the city under the severe cannonade during the day, resisting the advance of the enemy at eve.i step, were withdrawn during the night, as were also those who, with equal tena city, had maintained their poet at the lowest bridge. Under cover of darkness and a dense fog on the 12th a large force passed the river, and took position on the right hank, protected by their heavy guns on the left. 0a the morning of the 13th, his arrangements for attack being completed about 9 o'clock, the movement veiled by • fog, be advanced boldly in large force against our right wing. General Jackson's corps occupied the right of our line, which rested on the reamed ; General Longstreet's the left, ext ,ding along the heights to the Rappahannock, above Fre dericksburg Geesnl Stuart, with two brigades of caval•y, was posted in the extensive plain on our extreme right. As soon as the advance of the enemy was discovered through the fog, General Stuart, with his accustomed promptness, moved up a section of his horse artillery, which opened with effect upon Fs flank, and drew upon the gallant Pelham a hasty fire, which ho sustained unflinchingly for about two hours. _ _ Is the meantime the enemy was fiercely enoeuntercl by General A. P. Hill's division. forming General Jackson's right, aid after an obstinate combat repulsed. During this attack, which was protracted and hotly contested, two of General Hilt. brigades were driven back upon our wend line. General Early, with part of his &vista', being ordered to his support, drove the enemy back from the point of woods be had seised, and pursued him into the plain until awaited by his artillery. The right of the enemy's column, extending beyond MIN frost, encountered the right of thread Hood, and Law street's corps. The enemy took poseessiou of • arnel ceps front of Hood, but were quickly dispossessed and repulsed with loss. During the attack on our right the enemy was erring troops over hiq bridge' at Fredericksburg, and mitring them in front of Longsbeere use. Soon after his repulsion our right be wearers& a series of attacks on our left, with a view of obtaining perenios of the heights immediately overlooking the town. These repeated attacks were re. pared in gallant style by the Washington artillery, under Colonel Walton, and a portion of li'Law's division, which occupied these heights. The last assault was made after dark, when Colonel Aler amder's battalion had relieved the Washington Artillery, whose ammunition had been exhausted, and ended the con test for the day. The enemy wee suppork3 in his attacks by the fire of strong batteries of artillery on the right bank of the river. as wall as by the numerous heavy batteries on the Swfford heights. . Oar loss during the operatioos, since the mo►emeuta of the enemy began, amounts to about eighteen hundre killed and wounded. Among the former I regret to report the death of the patriotic soldier and statesman, Brigadier- Gamed Thomas B. B. Cobb, who fell upon our left ; and among the latter, that brave soldier sod accomplished gentleman Brigadier-General hi. Gregg, who was very se riously, and it is feared mortally wounded, daring the attack on our right. The enemy to-day has been apparently burying his dead. Hi troops are visible in their first position in line of battle, but with the exemption of some desultory cannonading and firing between skirmishers, he has not attempted to renew the attack. About 550 prieonere wore taken during the =pigment, but the full extent of his loss is unknown. I have the honour to be, very rimpsednlly, your obedient servant, E. E. Lis, General in Command. The Richmond papers regard the victory at Fre dericksburg as the greatest yet gained by the Con federates. They say that their position at Fre dericksbarg is impregnable, and that they can re main there quite as long as the Federals remain on the opposite bank of the river. The rec • of the Rappahannock by the Union forces is thus ridiculed by the Richmond Whig : It is another "On to Richmond" come to grief. Burnside has dragged the bruised body and broken bones of his army agrees the Rappah►nnock, and gon►—we know pot where. Several members of the committee on the conduct of the war of the Senate and House of Representa tives went to the headquarters of the Federal army on the 19th, to examine into the causes of the recent repulse and evacuation of the southern side of the Rappahannock. We learn from the American papers that the vessels of the Banks expedition have been very unfortunate. One, which was compelled to seek shelter in an unseaworthy condition, was barely saved from utter destruction by the Gemsbock and the United States transport Blackstone. This ves sel was the M. Sanford, which ran ashore two miles south of Carysfort Beef, with 800 troops on board, who were rescued and taken to Key West. News from Tennessee states that General Dodge was fighting General Forrest in the vicinity of Corinth, Miss., with twenty-five hundred cavalry and fire pieces of artillery, on the 18th. The result is not stated. Colonel Napier, with two or three thousand cava-ky, and four cannon, crossed, it is said, the Tennessee River to Carrollsville on the 15th, to join Forrest. The Eferaki gives publicity to a report that General Burnside had tendered his resignation, and that the President had refused to accept it. It adds, however, that the report has not in any way been confirmed. The following is the report of the Secretary of the Treasury relative to the payment of the troops : The Secretary of the Treasury, in answer to a Resoluta= of the House of Representative*, has sent a communication to Speaker Grow, in which he states that the requisitions c the Secretary of War for money for the payment of troops have always been promptly met at the Treasury when an absolute want of means did not prevent. He says since the let of July last the sum of 66,554,281 dole. has been paid on such requisitions as follows :—For bounties on eulistmeut, $7,300,000 ; recruiting, colliding, drilling and organizing troops, $10,172,360.41 ; ordinary pay, $48,861,921.23. The amount of requisitions of this description now in the 'Treasury Hanoi/meet unpaid is 28,700,000 dole. These un paid requisitions are about equal to the amount required for I pay during one bi.ntoethly period. A portion of th e m represent pay which fell due before the commencement of the last bi-monthly period of September and October, while about equal amounts have been supplied for pay which has become due since its commencement. Precise information on these points can only be obtained from the books of the department. When the resources of the Treuttry became inadequate to the demeoda made upon it, the Secretary of the Treasury oommuoicated the fact to the Secretaries of War and of the Navy, and requested them to designate the particular requisitions which they regarded as most urgent to the amount of about ace million of dollars daily. To this extent requisitions are now daily met, from customs, from internal revenue, from the proceeds of oo•reraioos al temporary loans, and from new issues of United States notes. These resources, though large, are, as Couples Ilea been already informed, inadequate. No one ea• feel • deeper :spree than the Secretary that a single Amebae moldier lacks a mingle dollar of his pay, and no effort of his has been wanting to prevent such a condition. It is not is him power, however, to arrest the accumulation of demands upon the Treasu'y beyond the possibility of a provisien fur them under existieg legislation. In him annual report he has laid before Congress the measure which, in his jndg• moot, will enable him to provide for the estimated wants of the public service. If, in his judgment, he is fortunate enough to have their concurrence, he entertains the hope that all grounds of complaint because of delays of payment may soon be removed. The New York herald of Doc. 19th has the foi -1 lon jug: It was reported that Generals Lee and Longstreet had an 'oteresting interview with some of our officers under a gag of truce, and that a member of General Longstreet's staff stated in the course of conversation that, although our troop fought splendidly, there was no possible chalice of taking the rebel defences, that an army of 500,000 men could not accomplish it. We learn from Harper's Ferry that as soon as General Sigel's corps left that skinity to join General &weirdo the rebels show( I themselves in force and menaced an attack upon the Ferry, on Pooleaville, and other points, but they were successfully met and their object thwarted by the tomes remaining to protect that portion of the Upper Potomac. The rebels azio. seeded in destroying the town of Plymouth, N.C., on Wednesday last by a bold dash, surprising the prrison and severely damaging the United States gunboat Southfield, which lay in the river. The rebels numbered only 180, with some artillery. The Union troops consisted at one company of the Eighth lissesohtesette and one com pany of the First No: th Carolina. After a slight resistance they retired on board the Southfield. The shots from the enemy's guns did serious injury to the steamer, wounding simnel men badly. . . . . °eland Beanregard's wife is now lying dangertmly doh fu New Orleans, and General Butler has sent to General Beauregard an incitation to visit her, ssetinag him of every protection and courtnly during his melancholy errand of sorrow, The following is a summary of the proceedings in Congress, from the Herald of the 20th - • In the &seats yesterday a joint resolution to pay maims and members of Congress mileage for the present session was referred to the Finance Committee. A resolution authorising the publication of the annual Naval Registe► was adopted. A resolution calling on the Secretary of War for information relative to the court of inquiry upon the operations of General Buell in Kentucky was laid over. A resolution calling for correspondence between the State Department and our minister to England concern , lag establishing telegraphic communication between 'the month of t the Amour river and San Fran eisco was adopted. The 'memorial of the War Com mittee of New York, asking Congress to authoriss the issue of letters of marque for the capture of the rebel cruiser Alabama, wee presented. A hill granting pecuniary aid to Wasor for emancipated slaves was referred to the Ju dietary Committee. The consideration of the resolution providing for a joint spc dal committee on the subject of esimpentat'ng States for the emancipation of their slaves was postponed. A bill providing for the construction of roads and telegraphs in Kansaewas introduced. The re solution inquiring of the Secretary of War whether any oath had beau proposed to citizens who have been arrested and 'aps:acincd that they would not sue or being any action against those who arrested them, was briefly discussed, but no action taken on it. The bankrupt bill was then taken up, several verbal amendments adopted, and the Senate adjourned. In the Horse of Representatives, the Senate bill to fr • °Math the discharge of disabled soldiers and the inspectica of eouvr'escent camps and hospitals was passed. The cre dentials of Mr. Flanders, the new member from Louisiana, were presented, and a motion offered that he be qualified. Mr. Vallandigham, however, objected, and the papers were Warred to the committee on elections. The hall making appropriations toe invalid and other pensions was weed. M-. Stevens made an explanation as to the financial scheme rcmutly introduced by him, saying it was his own act, without consultation with the committee of ways and means or with the Seeretaii of the Tredury. He wrs opposed to the financial scheme of Mr. Chase. Joint resolutions thinking Lieutenant Commanding Morris of the Cumberland, and Lieutenant Com manding Warden, of the Monitor, for their gallantry in the engagement with the Merrimac, were reported. These Manta are a necessary preliminary to the promotion of these officers. Mr. Sedgwiak's resolution was adopted, milling upon the Secretary of the Navy to communicate informa tion concerning all mimes in the courts, showing the present audition of the prize cues, and the names and number of the men who received their share of the disbursement+, the sharps, fm., of all officers and men claiming, and all owed, prise money, stating how much has been distributed to the reptote, and whether distribution has been made according to law. In commitse of the whole, Mr. Crisfield, of Mary land, made a speech on national political topics, and Mr. Salley, of Pennsylvania, spoke at considerable length In support of the President's emancipation proclamation. The steamship China arrived at New York early on the morning of Deo. 19. The steamer Norwegian arrived at Portland on the same date. The steamer Edinburgh arrived at New York, Dec. 20.

The steamship Kangaroo sailed at noon today for Liverpool, with 600,000 dole. in specie and 60 passengers. The Washington Star says that a caucus of re publican senators was held there on the 16th. A resolution was offered, requesting the President to dispense with the services of Mr. Seward. After discussion a vote was taken, and resulted in 16 in favour to 13 against it. On the fib, at another canons, a substitute ; recommending the President Ito partially remodel his cabinet, was unanimously adopted, the conservatives believing it would be regarded as a general invitation to the whole cabi net to resign. On being informed of the fact the Secretary and his Assistant Secretary sent iu their resignation', requesting their immediate accept ance. The New York Tribune has the following editorial ph L" We are informed that Mr. Seward paragraph —" We are informed that Mr. Seward baa t endered his resignation as Secretary of State. Our informant speaks positively, and adds that the resignation was suddenly determ;ned upon, and w"1 probably be accepted." CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, Dec. 15. The enemy's gunboats have again been shelling James Island at intervals to-day, but without pro ducing any effect. A Newberu letter says of the affair of Kinston that the gunboats and flotilla acted in conjunction with General Fatter. The gunboats, however, could not proceed far up the river, owing to the low state of the water. On arriving within two miles of Kinston the flotilla came upon an eleven gun battery, which fired very effectively on the Allison, but she was finally backed out, having been pierced in many places. The flotilla retreated, and the next day were fired upon from the banks by guerillas, who used bells dipped in verdigris. One of the flotilla sank on return'ng.

The bankrupt had given a very unsatisfactory explanation of these trannaotions, and on being applied to for further information his attorney had writtee to the assignees to say that he had given all the information he could. Mr. R. Griffiths remarked on the tritiog amount of the preferential payments which the bankrupt was charged with making.

The Fisgard flag-ship, Commodore Sir F. W. E• Hie°Lion, was paid off at the dockyard this day, and for , . of her crew received good conduct =dale from the Admi ralty. The paddle steam-vessel Ithadamanthns, Muter Commanding Startles, was paid off at the Name time, and l ido a number of men employed on harbour service. Both vessels will be rs-commirioncd to-morrow. . . . . . A germ of experiments have been carried out at the dockyard yesterday and this day, in the presence of Com modore Superintendent Sir F. W. E. Niceloon, Mr. Mac. &meld, master-attendant, Mr. Friokett, chief engineer, and other officers, for the pose of testing the efficiency of a traction steam engine and machine manufactured by Bray's Traction Engine Company expressly for the Admiralty, and provided with various improvements, as recommende d in a report submitted by the officers of this dockyard to the par liamentary committee on the economy of her Majesty's dockyards in 1859. The principal features of the engine referred to, as compsredwithasy of those previously tried for dockyard work, are as follows : A portable derrick is at tached to the machine for the purpose of lifting heavy ' weight• and loading or unloading the truck, and it is also fitted with • cylindrical drum for the purpose of applying the power of the engine to work cranes or any fixed machinery, by means of • belt, and a cone barrel for haul. ing up rope or tackling to any extent. The weight of the engine, including bo' , ers, he., is twelve toss ; the cylinder is seven inches in diameter, and it eon be worked up to • steam pressure of 120 lbs. The experiments commenced yesterday by hauling one of the boilers of the Caledonia, on caud frigate, weighing 28 toes, on • truck, and this im mense weight was conveyed to 01 parts of the yard by the engine with the utmost facility ; the various sharp curves were turned with ease, and it was proved by subsequent ex periments with a heavy load of iron plates that the rough paving, es well as the soft ground of the dockyard, could be traversed at any sed up totes miles per hour. This day the shear lap or derrick was affixed to the methane, and by this means the screw of the Rome steam reseal, weighing two tons one cwt., was easily lifted and conveyed to the weigh-bridge. Other experiments carried out under the direction of the secretary of the company, Mr. Loul'l, proved that the engine and its appliances could well perform thole general duties of the dockyard on which labourers and horses are now employed, and it is stated that the @lrving of expenditure woad amount to at least fifty per cent. THE LATE STORM 111 THE NORTH. News of wider and more mournful disaster con tinue to be received from the north-west coast of Scotland. The foilowing letter from Ullapool, published in the Scotrmaa, dated on Christmas-day, largely increases the calculation of the boats and men lost in the storm of De cember 18 and 19 :—" Our shores are literally strewed with wrecks, and day after day adds to their number. Front Unapool to Bu More it is said that the &lois of no less than fourteen or fifteen boats have been imbed ashore. In one place, which I have tun, there ere the materials of at lean three boats, with about twenty oars, broken and whole, four udder', snd five cod and hog. In another place, which I have also seen, there ere the wrecks of one or two boats, a number of oars, and a malt A bonnet has been washed ashore in gaoler The boats all appear to have come from Lewis, and rrt e r: l. one parish in that island. I have been told that two boats with their crews managed to gain land in Aasint, and another further to the north. Their tale is sorrowful in the extreme. By their account there were twenty-four boats, including themaelves, all out from the parish of Neil, in Lewis, fishing with • long lines' on a bank off the Butt of Lewis, when they were overtaken by the storm which precipitated so many of them into eternity. They tried hard to gain land in Lewis, bat as the storm was straight ahead, their efforts were futile. They bad then no alternative but to run with the wiod, and, so far u I have been able to learn, of the whole twenty-four those three only managed to gain land. The usual number of men to each of those boats es sigh:, but taking the minimum number, six, we have up wards of 120 persons consigned to a watery grave. Great as that loss is, it is to be feared that it dose not comprehend the total loss of life incurred by the Island of Lewis by this terrible dispensation, for be it remembered that the men who escaped spoke only of the twenty-four boats which were out from their own place ; they could say nothing as I to the number that were out from other parts of the Lews. That is still unkuonr. Those that escaped lashed them selves to the boat, sod spread their sails across, eau order to keep out a part of the heavy sees. No holies have as yet been foundon oar shores. Tiiestorm has continued since, but with abated violence. To-day, however, it had span in , maul:l,lll°lring a very strongest., from the west. The search along our shores is to be continued for some time." A letter of the 24th, from the Gairlocb, confirm the above melancholy account of the lose of life by the storm. On Sunday and Monday a great number of boats were cast ashore on various parts of the oust. About a dozen have been found on the coast around Lochewa, most of which have been completely destroys& The Lawman steamer called at A ultberi on Monday, and stated that two Lewis boats had made into Baidcatil, Loehinver, who stated that twenty-four boats were oat fishing on the Lewis coast, and it is believed that the wrecks found in Lochewe are Lewis boats which had bees out fishing and=in the storm, and that the whole of the crews have p Barra SHAW EVIL —This applies to the 16e.

I called him in and salted him about the lost rings ; but be said be bad not men them, and that they were not there when he cleaned the windows. He was under notice to leave at the time. On Tuesday I went with Hann, the Meer, to the Jacob's Well publio-house Upper Ground-street, where the prisoner wee employed. I asked him te give me up the nags sr the duplicates of them, but he declared, with an catk that be was innocent. Hs, however. said that if 1 pre him into custody he would inform the polies who really did take the rings. I bad previously remind information which induced me to go to the primmer. Hann said—l took the primmer into windy, and as I was brin‘ . .ng him away he asked me to let him go into the backyard to get his coat. I saw another coat hanging up in the yard, and asked him if it belonged to him. He said it did, and on searching it I found the two rings secreted between the lining and the cloth. He told me that be found the rings in the sawdust which he swept out from the bar. Mr. Colley—There was no sawdust to sweep up intim bar, as the bar door is covered with a carpet. He was never even allowed to sweep inside the bar at all. Sir John Musgrove asked bow he was paid. Mr. Colley said—l paid him 6e. per week, besides his bond and lodging, but while he was with me I lot a large amount of property of ailment dencriptiona.

At the Public Office, Birmingham, on Monday, a singular ease came on for hearing before Mr. T. Lloyd. Mr. T. Gleamy, game dealer, MY summoned by Sanitary Inspec tor Co per for having exposed for male five hares which were unfit for human too& Mr. John Smith appeared for tl e defendant. Inspector Cooper stated that he seised the beam in question, as they smelt abominably ; the flesh was dark.ceoured, and they were perf ctly unfit for food. In caws-examination by Mr. Smith, Cooper laid he did not think the smell could be covered by any cooking, nor that the bares could bays bean eaten ; they were nearly rotten. Glassey brought another hare out of the same lot, but that was not so bed, although it stank and was very much discoloured . Ile did nut think the one he brought would have been eatable in a few days. Dr. Hill, borough analyst, said be examined the five hares, sod they were quite unfit for human food. I ney were condemned by Mr. Lloyd. In his (Dr. Hill's) opinion, they were in almost the last stage of decomposition. Cross-examined— He thought all meet that bad undegone any proems of decomposition was unwholesome awl poisonous. Knew game was eaten " high," and by some people liked. He did not think Si. destroyed the poison of dream:politico, DO; kid the taste of it. At this point Mr. Smith ,celled Mr. Hatton, of Broad-street, a professional cook, who I produced a saucepan boiling hot, tilled with jugged hare, and requested Dr. Hill to taste whether it was good. Dr. Hill did so and replied, " It appears to me to be very good, but rather highly spiced. I should not object to sat it myself." Mr. Smith—The bare in one out of the lot you condemned, and the one Cooper said would not keep. sad It is now fourteen dare since it was examined. Dr. Hill— The smell may be disguised, rod in that ease I think is just as unwholesome. dr. Smith—Do yuu memo to tell the public that if game and venison is hung eo that they smell, It is not fit for food Dr. Hill—l am prepared to stand by my opinion, and I declare all stages of decoropositioo vendor ganie as much unlit for fund es any other unwholesome food. Mr. Gem (magistrate,' clerk)—Fresh pork sail veal to some systems are almost poisonous, see they net f Hill—Certainly. Mr. Gem—Then of muse they would in like manner be unfit for food! Dr. do not go to that extant, but if constitittioos coed he konwo when pork and veal disagreed, I should always advise spinet its being eaten. Mr. Gem—Of course you would ; but yea will never make me believe that hung gams is unwbolo. some. Why I know men of eighty and upwards who would not touch a bare unless it was regularly • green " before cooking. Those men want a good dial o poinciana. (The soup and jugged bare were tasted by numbers it murk and all pronounced it good, and some of 'the wit, noires afterwards adjourned to lunch upon it.) Mr. Smith then addressed the bench, charecterision the interference of Cooper as meddling and anueormary io caws of pm", sod that Dr. Hill's notion of poieocous and u s . abaseasas feed was very much like that of several professors of chemistry, who broadly stated every thing was more or lees poisonoue, and that to su c h as en. tent did they carry their gnnaatit iee and qualitativ e nations, that the simplest thing in the world would b e pre . nounoed to contain poison and injunous. Yet we lived and got fat upon such Millen. Common MAN and experience, urged, should ever override the dogmas of Wadi& theorist'. Mr. Smith then called Mr. Stephen Potter, gantedealer, Da s End, who rid pme is not fit to sat, until it has been hung. Hares will sme l horribly after two or three days, and yet they are sought after. Costomen will net hare fresh game ; we cannot sell it. Plenty of medical men conie to me far hares that are perfectly green.—Mr. George Benson, Mr. Rotten, and others corroborated Mr. Potter. —Mr. Hatton then said—l smoked the hare produced in the ordinary way, and ham not attempted to disguise the smell. It stunk before cooking am bed as soy I ever cooked, but it is now quite fresh and firm. A hare is sot good f s cook until it smells. it has so flavour in it.—Profsmar W. Sands Cox (Queen's College), who happened to be in road, was celled, and rid: I have heard Dr. Hill's evidence) sr to hung game being unwholesome and unfit for food. My opinion is, that a hare is not good to eat till it dote awl Fire destroys the smell. I think hung pane' wholesome, Dr. Hill—As a younger man than Mr. Cox, may I be per. miffed to say that measly pork, eaten by children, h is pre I coed tapeworm after it has been cooked.—Mr. Cox— I doubt it ; and am p not bound to believe ail that's written. Mr. Lloyd, in ring his decision, said—As I was' au magistrate who oe&red the hares to be destroyed, I coast stultify myself by dismiseing the me, but I shall out gee the defendant.
