Tee published yealarday of the arrival in Plymouth Sound of this relasing transport clip Bomb will have removed a very general mares of public solicitude, and allayed the long protracted anguish of !piny an almost desponding heart. The liqmibay sailed from Gravesend as far back as the 9th of November last, with 300 troops OR board for India. Her ultimate destination was Hurracbss t but she was ander immediate orders to touch at Cork, whirrs she was to take on board 190 additional men. She w•e an old ship, haring been 'Boat just half • oentury. For t•astely her hull, which was teak-built, wu thoroughly steno& and strong. Had thin not been so, nothing but her floating timbers scattered over the Atlantic would have remained to tell the stay of her catastrophe. Her rigging, as the man say, and as the ergot seems to have proved, w•e by no mesas in the same seaworthy state as the hull. It is described as having been hastily met up, and not strong. Her registered burden was 1,27 U tone. In addition to the baggage and monitions of the troops shipped at Graves end, she carried stone and provisions for GOO men, and had on board, besides the full meant of her usual ballast, no lees than 300 tons of railway iron, which was laid lengthways in the hold. It is stated, and seems probable, that this was a bad mode of stowage, tending greatly to increase the labouring of the ship in a heavy sea. The ship, thus heavily laden and sinuosity stowed. nailed from Gravesend for Cork, there to t►ke on board the 190 additional troops who were waiting bee arrival. To the plain judgment of ordinary common sense it certainly seems the most prepos terous thing in the world that the Bombay should bare been sent out of her coarse to pick up these troops, instead of having these troops sent over to the Bombay. Even if there were no Government steamers in Cork Harbour by which these man could have been forwarded, the ordinary passage steamers would have brought them round at a oat of a few shillings per man. The explanation of the matter is probably to be found in the terms of the Government contract with the owners of the vessel. If the fact be that the ship was hired in the ordinary course at es much per day, the shipowners would obviously have a direct interest in protracting, under say decent pretext, the duration of her voyage. It would be more profitable to the contractors that the Bombay should go round to Cork to pick up the troops, than that the troops should be sent on to Gravesend, there to embark in the Bombay. What at first sight looks: like • blunder will in all likeli hood turn out to have been only a job. Whichever of the two it may have been, its con sequences were disastrous. The Bombay made a fair passage to Cork, and on the 10th was NOM fifteen miles cif the harbour. Why she did rot put in, as intended, does not clearly ap pear by any entry in the log-book or any other description of evidence that is yet before us. On the 11th commenced that long succession of north-easterly'gales whose inclemency and violence even landsmen still hold in shivering remembrance. The icy tempest which on shore sowed broadcast the seeds of disease, and struck down age and infancy with the sudden chill of death, made wilder and more turbulent havoc on the ocean. The heavily laden Bombay, with her 300 troops on board, and with a mixed crew, the bulk of which was made up of a motley assemblage of Greeks, Italians, Spaniards. Dutch, and Germans, was soon struck by the " over taking wings" of the blast. The defects of her stowage and rigging were at once found out. On the 11th (the first day of the gale) she is described in the log-book as " labouring most violently." That same night her maintopsail was split into ribbon. and bee main royal mast was carried away. The fury of the gale came to a climax on the 113th. Oa that day, according to the log, there was " a perhst " hurricane with a tremendous sea running." In the afternoon, the Chief Mite and 16 men—the flower et the crew—went aloft on the desperate service of en deavouring to furl the split main topsail. While engaged •in this hand-to•hand grapple with the fall stress of the tempest— While the strained lowa wee lelverlag Has a recd, And the nut mane, enturieg, strewed the gas— a heavier sea than usual struck the heavily labour ing ship; with one fearful lurch abe serried sway' both main and misers masts by the board," throwing " every one aloft, into the sea, and smashing sad "rendering perfectly useless three of the boats: Of the seventeen hardy fellows thus flung oat to tbe ocean in its fury, only six were, with the extremist dilllculty, rescued. The men thee ea-waked were el English, being probably the only part of the crew who could be induced to undertake a mancesirre se hasardona. And now the Bombay went driving before the gale with only her foremast standing. In this plight she was men on the 18th by the Swims the first vessel that brought any tidings of her " wiling W.S.W. before the "ewe," far out on the broad Atlantic. But worse via in store for her. On the 23rd, when she had bean seven days in this plight, " the ship, rolling tie ' ineedously, pent the foremast over the side, taking " topmast nnd foreyard with it." She was now a kw hull, her three mum gone by the board, welter- I fag helplessly at the mercy of the waves. Those' who remember that grand vision of the "Abandoned " Ship," which the genius of CLAeIsOS erAsnm.D has perpetuated on canvas, may form some notion of what the Bombay looked hie when, on the 27th, the Amazon caught a hurried sight of her, athwart the white waste of those desolate waters. There was one thing in the reality which was want- fug in the picture. CLoaxson's ship is a deserted ball: the Bombay was crowded with a living freight. Three hundred brave fellows, whose hearts sever quailed and whose discipline never faltered, were being borne along with her to what they must have regarded as momently impending death. The vessels that brought tidings of her, without having been able to furnish assistance, saw " many people' crowded on her rolling and sea-swept deck. Nothing sass have been better than the conduct of the troops, or of their senior officer, Capt. STEEL : their order,their exact discipline, their prompt and seelona aid, no doubt contributed greatly to the ultimate safety of all on board. It was not till the 3rd of December, after more than three weeks of this protracted and harassing suspense, that the means of safety was supplied to them. On that' day her MAJEBTT'S steamer Atreus, which had been sent out by the Admiralty for their relief, hove in sight ; a hawser, after considerable difficulty, was passed from one vessel to the other ; and finally the Bombay was • towed into Plymouth Sound on the morning of Sun day last. Thin narrative furnishes • fresh testimony to the admirable conduct of British troop* under that form of peril which is of all others most trying to the enduring constancy of landsmen, and least favourable to the preservation of that exact discipline, the habits of which have been formed under circum stances so widely different from those in which they ere thus called forth. But the story suggests other eensideratioos of • very different kind. The defec tive state of the spars and rigging ; the clumsy and dangerous stowage of the railway gear; the excessive and unreasonable addition thus made to the lading of the ship, are all points that demand investigation. The conveyance across the ocean of the brave fellows who are to maintain our supremacy In India is not to be imperilled by the negligence of officials or the cupidity of contractors. These things must be inquired into. The absurdity of sending the vessel heavily loaded as she was, round to Cork, speaks for itself; but the motives which led to the perpetration of this absurdity ought to be laid bare. Was there no survey of the Bombay, before the lives of our soldiers were committed to her commander ? Were the 600 tone of iron placed in her hold with the knowledge of the proper authorities? If the nature of these transport charters be such as to make it more lucrative to serve the public ill than well, that is a matter eminently deserving of the best attention of Parliament. The thing cannot rest where it is. Three hundred brave lives have been providentially saved, but how if they had been lost ? It is no light matter to have had so much that is invaluable to this einntry placed in such fearful jeopardy by a blander deliberately perpetrated as the most convenient means of carrying out a job. ;t* court.

A Milan latter of December 3 brings sews that the French system of seizing journals at the post office is now in full play there. In consequence of their comments upon the state of the " Italian question,' three-fourths of the French journals had been stopped, and even the numbers of the Debata of November 28 and 29, in which the cause of Aus tria was warmly defended, were not thought safe reading in Austrian Italy. The existing irritation in Milan had been considerably increased by the appointment as censor of the press of one Signor Rossi, • man who was formerly commissary of police, and made himself obnoxious by his ex ecutive zeal in the prosecution of political offences after 1861. There was much talk of the discovery of extraordinary waste and fraud in the management of the archduke's house hold. Five of his servants turn out to have been old thieves, and have been arrested. An author named Salari—having received from the arch duke a diamond pin in return for a presentation copy of a book—found that the diamond was false. He returned the pin, thinking the archduke had been cheated by his jeweller. The intendant of the palace has sent no answer. Another similar ease is cited. The letter though dwelling upon the various causes of discontent in Lombardy, express an opinion that there is no foundation for the serious alarm which resent articles in the French and Pied -ontesejeazade Iwo bout eekulatsd So motto. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (tzar 0011 OWN PARIS, MONDAY Evwis. The Minister of Justioe, assisted by all the great lawyers in the service of the Crown, has been very hard at work for the last two or three days, puzzling his head how to make the beet of the eery bad maw into which the government has got itself by prema turely thrusting a pardon upon M. de Montalembert. The law, as laid dovfn in M. de Montalembert's letter, that the Emperor had no power to deprive him by a pardon of his right of appeal, is so clear that I believe all idea of attempting to reject the ap peal is given up. But then a variety of embarrassing questions arise as to the best course to be followed consistently with the dignity of the Crown. How can M. Choi: d'Est Ange, the Procureur-Oeneral Imperial, be decently allowed to make an eloquent speee.h to the superior judges calling on them in the name of public safety to condemn the defendant when it stands on record that the sovereign dose not mean him to be punished ? He cannot tell the court what was the het, that the pardon " on the occasion of December 2," was a bitter taunt! Then 'gain, if the Procurenr-General should simply declare, when the case is called on, that be retires from the prosecution, the duty of the judges, in the ordinary course, would be to reverie the original judgment on the ground that the offence charged was not sufficiently established. But this comes, it is ob jected, would be an insult to M. Berthelin and the other judges of the court below. Some lawyers have suggested that the judges of appeal, taking judicial notice of the pardon, will declare themselves incompetent to examine the merits of a case on which his Majesty has irrevocably pronounced a sovereign decision, and will base their acquittal on that express ground ; they, it will be said accord iog to this theory, administer justice in the Em peror's name, and it would be an anomaly to pro nounce a judgment at variance with his known intentions. In any of the above hypotheses M. de Montalembert will come off with flying colours, and will be freed from all those prejudicial consequences of the sentence to which his passive acceptance of the pardon would have left him liable. Even if the appeal should be argued in a hostile manner, it is a question whether the previous pardon will not override the sentence. I cannot help thinking that the government will not g re. MM. Berryer and Dufaure an opportunity of speaking again on this subject. The Pays has reason to know that the paragraph in the Queen of Spain's speech touching the rela tions of Spain with the Holy See, was originally worded in quite a different manner. The draft was shown to the Pope's nuncio, who suggested some *lterations, which were at once accepted by her Majesty. The Pays sarcastically adds, that "it is no doubt owing to the wish of the representative of the court of Rome to say nothing binding for the fattier, that the passage in question is not quite so explicit as it might have been without danger." The Bonne to-day has been on the whole some- what firmer, although the attention of speculation wu principally occupied by the Credit Mobilier, which fell 18fr. 75c., in consequence of apprehen sions about the projected imperial bank. The Rente fell Ma for cash, and closed for account at yesterdsy's price-74fr. The Eastern Railway fell 2fr. 600.; the other lines were from lfr. 250. to Ur. iioo. higher. THE AFRICAN MAILS.

The Myrmidon was at Fernando Po, condemned, and her machinery taken out. The Manacho steamer has been sunk at Bonny Bar. Her masts only are above water. _ _ The Vesuvius and Sharpshooter were at Lagos. The American steamer Niagara had arrived at Liberia, with 200 captured slaves for the free colony. Sias was to leave again on Nov. 16. The Trident, Spitfire, and Alecto were at Sierra Leone. The majority of the settlers at Fernando Po in tended to leave, in consequence of the islands having been made a penal. settlement. The war with the Crobboes bad terminated. The English government are to receive an indemnity of 10,000!. A French vessel had been on the coast, shipping slaves, and the Liberians had sought protection from the Alecto and Niagara, which was glutted. The French vestal had since left the west.

Bentley, R.N., and Dr. W. D. Smyth. From the Cape the reports are of no particular in terest. The colony was peaceful, and its border and foreign relations have not been disturbed, or even threatened with disturbance. The weather was favourable, and there was every promise of an abundant harvert. Major Hope, auditor-general, had died, and left behind him the reputation of a moat valuable officer. The exports of line wool from the colony were W arming. Umhala, the Kaffir chief, had, with two of his councillors, been found guilty of intending to levy war against her Majesty, but they are not sentenced. 1 Her Majesty's ship Hermes, with the Governor - General, arrived Oet. 22. The Palestine (barque), with Marines, had arrived at Ascension. ACTION AGAINST X. MARIO. M. Callao brought an action on Saturday before the Tribunal of Commerce, Paris, against M.

There was another coarederstion— °resent had at the beginning of the season been designated for the part of the Duke of Mantua—and Mario would not be acting like a good oollugne to deprive him of it. Moreover, the mature of Madame Freszolinrs voice was such that in order to deg with her he would be obliged to raise hi. voice half a toss, which he did not leant to do. The tribunal de ckled that the terms of the t between Mario and Csludo could not be inter as to give the actor the power of refusing to sing his regular parts in old operas, and that wiesequatly he must appear in the Doke of Mantua on Beads sad on any other days the directors might require, under pain of paying 6,000 fr. for each refusal.

Everything leads to the belief that the concessions aooorded to Enema are so like- wise to Rolland.

Ortineberg, in reply to inquires from the magistrate, mid he supposed both prisoners to be in good circumstances. He at first thought when Higgina come to him that he wee dealing, not with the agent of a discounter, but with the &s -omata. himself. Afterwards, when Higgins said his fried, who wee shortly orating up to town, had plenty of he supposed Higgins to be the agent for proctufsgmeg; mo Inn; ey croorszetshiation by Mr. Sotoneces, Mr.Orinebmgaid —I first became =quaint= with Higgins about the lattir end of August.

I was not indebted to any ens. It was In September I believe that the first Deafness took place between myself and Higgins. Oar first transaction warn not in Mallon to a bill of 181., of which I =ad hlm to oblige me with his acceptance. Nothing was ever said about a bill for 181. My firm transaction was with the view of raising capital to go en with improvements, and the first thing done was., I gave him my acceptance fora bill of 301. Ont of that I received 101. Not another birthing, I swear. Ido not know the data of that bill. That bill was never taken up by me. It has been renewed. Yr. B°l==r—l find that bill is dated the Bth September. Have you ever psid the.3ol. P Prosecutor—I paid for the stamp, bat I hams not paid the SOL - - Mr. Pay:tier—There is no doubt about that. It says on the back of the bill, "settled by renewal."

I have never applied for it anywhere except to the Mr, t= l. ne—Did you not know it wee at the Bedford Loan Society, in Bedford-strut, and that you might have got It by applying there P Prosecutor—l did not. I was Indebted to Mr. Goddard for work done and extras to the amount of 1001. I gave him a bill of sooeptanoe for that money. That bill was given into the hand, of Mr. Donnie. I wee rued upon it, and an execution was put into the house. Application was made to the judge to sat aside the execution, and it was set aside. The terms were--- . . . 11r.lowidO1Werved that the question was unneottesery. The terms would appear by the order. Cease-examination renewed—Three bills of exchange were drawn upoa me. One Goddard had, and two fir. Daunts had. I don't know whether they were endorsed or drawn by Higgins. That is a point about which lam not attain— that is, I do not sufficiently understand the differentia. Hig gins' name is in the bills, that is all I know. I have not paid either of thorn bills. The first only became due 6or 6 days ago. Higgins remains liable on that bill. He told me the execution creditors could not do anything upon it. A bill of sale was never mentioned to me. It was not proposed by ms (with excitement). I cannot think how say Me can ask me such a question. It was suggested by both the pri soners. I took it to be an inventory. It was signed by me. I did not furedsh them with an inventory of Jay fermi tore'; they copied it at Gloom* in Chancery-lane. They took as Inventory of the stock in the nursery-ground on the Sunday morning —flowers, buildings, bricks, and everything. I owed no large debts at that time. Trilling debts arose from prisoners not keeping their promise. My boot-maker sum moned me, and I owed another little sum or so, bat I did not owe 101. in the world. 101. would have covered all my debts. The object of the inventory wee not to protect my furniture from the creditors—not at all. On my solemn oath it was not. Higgins signed his name to hills for 601. He did not say the inventory of the goods was to pee tect themselves and myself. I did not know they were going to take the property out of my house. I was in Lthooles hut• fields at the time, at my solicitor's. There was a great quantity of hunkers in the bones. I had paid for it, and worked hard to do s.). The furniture was all taken away, and canted to Higgins's house. Mr. daloceone—Did you apply for it P You might have had it had you dome so. Prosecutor—l did not—do you think I should run after such thievesP After the last examination I watt to Higgins's home and got my papers. I bad not been there 'before. I saw my furniture all 'bundled up together in a oose,h-house. Mr. Lewis observed that while the execution was in the house for 1001. Higgins and Davis could not get the furni ture. It was part of their scheme to get the execution coeditors oat in order that they might possess themselves ultimately of the furniture. They got the execution creditors to take their bills, promising to pay them the mote in cash, which latter they neglected to do, and then applied to a judge at chambers on the following day to get the execution set aside, declaring the bills givast included the wets. His client was liable for the three bills which were now out in the weld.' Mr. Ilototecce said Higgins had taken the furniture to were himself and Mr. Gtirieberg from the execution cre ditors. He had taken it away for safety. Mr. Paying" ream bed nono of the Mils were at that time dn. It raid net, therefore, be urged that they furnished wilisielet mods" for the bill of sale.

(THIS DAY•) This day the sixth annual meeting of the members of the above society wee held at Butte Hall, Lori Rears e'en in the chair. The annual report, after alluding to the oommarcial mica at the commencement of the year, proceeded to state that the executive committee felt that it would be more expedient end prudent not to purchase during the year to rely partly on the allotment of such estates as were on b and. and to de -1 pied mainly on the reserve fund for any deticienCy of ecome use outlay. In order to terry out this policy, the current year's expenditure was reduced so effectively, that the amount actually appropriated from the reserve fond has been secured entirely from the interest that has error thereon, leaving the prevent amount, 8,0971. 9a. Bd., in ' extras of nearly 3001. over its original figure. In announcing that the cash receipts for the year were 48,3931. 7e. 74. 14 up the total receipts in six years to upwards of 812,0001., 41 whilst the total withdrawals for the same period 1 1 only reach about 88,0001., and the total sale of land is more than 219,0001.—the committee feel that they are entitled to entertain confidence In the stability and security of the society,the more especially as in the sot al quart er an ex iled of badness has been entered up o n.ll will &peed entirely on the extent of support given the nubile at large, whether as sharehokiers or merely as epositore, to reader the society totally Independent of its land operations at periods when it may be politic not to increase the stock of land on hand. The report eaten into a variety of particulars relative to the allotted estates. " The Winchester estate was offered on the 29th of April, and the sale of the Prestwich estate, Manchester, was oommemoed on the 24th of June. These were the only allotments of the year ' the committee not deeming the time opportune to present, through the order of rifht, its remaining portions of the Brighton and Tunbridge Ve ells estates. As regards the sale of land on the Winches ter estate, in North Hants, there is every reason to be sad,- . fled, and the future disposal of the whole may be returned se a certainty, such fa the undoubted eligibility of the site. Building, in face, is hardly begun. The committee i receive the assurance' from gentlemen of local know ledge that after the oemplertioe, on the Prestwich se as, of the roads and dreit i llte admirable position of the ' land for building secant a favourable resell. The board has lit tub r to the other estates, many of tithe, however have latterly ezhibited sis of advance as ' reeds the co , vering of the land by villas and gn houses. The con aeration of St. church, on theTunbridgeWellseetate, by the Archbishop of Canterbury on the 6th of January Ise, tenet lead to the development of that flue property, and the =tilude with which the edifice was erected is likely to be on the Maidstone estate. The breaking down of builders on the Brighton estate is one of the appa rently inevitable speedos of speculatioo, in that yearly rising and popular watering place ; but as the wrier house is en the emu% the Round Hill erste, the salubrity of whin is one of its most attentive features, must have its earn sooner or later. The renewal of the works far the railway between Worrier and Hereford, will lead, no daub', to the increseing attraction of the picturesque Malvern Hilts, sad the estate of the society en the western side of the range will ultimately prove of undoubted value to the fortunate allottees. • • • It sras in the July repeat that the acquisition of the Wey mouth estate, to go through the society's allotment system, was announced. The plan is in preparation, and in the spring it is proposed to offer the first portion through the order of rights. In addition to this valuable property, it was, after the late quarterly meeting, the executive cote. mutes—in full confidence that a favourable terry only wee wanting to carry out the so= main principle the buying and selling of land—probased the Roneree'ton estate, the property of the Bart of Beseborongb, and the residence of the late Mr. Roberta, the banker. This estate is • very large investment, but it is one the great value of which, for the interests of the society , there has been but one opinion, es to estate hitherto o ff ered has presented such a variety of modes in which it can be turned to a roatable aroma ; and It eventually divided, presents Wilding frontages to Richmond Park and Putney Heath of the higher attraction. The completion of the per cher only wan the result of those legal inquiet/el which the society, for the protection of allotted, so carefully hod tore; the committee in this report have to congratulate the eharenolders on this most valuable stquesition. In catt aural, the executive committee cannot but offer their au gmentations to the members, on the improved prospects ef tire society at this period, over those which meted at the last annual report, and by energetic end economical went, they entertain every expectation to turn to p r :o7re account the tapir' already invested, and the future money ' which may be invested in the Conservative Lend Society, relying fully . on the confidence and espp7t extended to them in premed years by the shareheidge Fifty members were then drawn eel twenty-dye added by seniority for rights of choice.
