It is impossible to describe the confusion in the Foreign Nlarket this morning : the eagerness for Mining Shares exceeds all cal culation. Some of the Mine Shares have risen this morning from GO to 70 per cent. Nothing is thought of but Mining Shares ; and the orders from *be country to purchase them are incalculable. The ductoition in the Mine Shares has been front 20 to '.O per crnt. this morning. (*.oisols oprued at 051 1, and, since the arrival of the Express, they have fallen to 94, buyers—scarcely anything doing. FOIth:IGN FUNDS.

Ftederickstadt, in Norway, suffered very much by the storm a the 19th of November. A great quantity of goods was spoiled, by the water penetrating into the warehouses. According to accounts from St. Petersburgh, a most dreadful hurricane did great damage in the forests in almost all the Provinces on the Baltic, on the 19th of November, when the Neva inundated that capital. The Emperor of RUSSIA has granted 16,000 rubles to the inhabitants of Orartienbaurn, and 25,000 to those of Cronstadt, who suffered most severely by the inundation . The Neva was frozen over in the night of thel7th ult. the thermometer of Reaumur being )odeg.below o.Since that time the communisations with Cronstadt, which had been interrupted, is restored. The frost continued on the 22d ult. but the cold was not severe, being only six or eight degrees, and the winter communications with the interior had begun. On the 28th of October, three severe shocks of an earthquake were felt at Dabessar, in the Crimea; and on the Ist of November there was a Cu: ious hurricane, but ti,e autumn had been very mild. Brussels Papers to the Bth inst. reached as at a late hour this forenoon. They contain an ai tide from Tran sylvarnia stating, that in consequence of the vexatious measures of the Turkish Divan, the inhabitants of Macedonia are abandoning their homes and emigrating to Livadia and the Morea ; indeed symptoms of insur rection have also appeared in Servia. An article from Basle says—" We have positive ist format:on that all the Officers of the Swiss Regiment of Reas, presented to the French General commanding at Bayonne, a protest against the sending of their troops to Spain." The French Papers of Friday and Saturday reached us last night; and this forenoon we received the Doile of yesterday, by express. The latter quotes an article • from the Journal des Debuts, on the subject of the law for reducing the Five per Cents. tl which it is decidedly opposed. It contains a project of law fcr suppressing piracy. _ ha additional article of the treaty for the occupation of Spain by the French troops, contained in our Paper of Saturday, ii published by the Constitutiotind ; the following is a copy 44 His Most Christ ian Majesty, according to the wishes of his august Ally, the King our Sovereign, and always disposed to do everything that may contribute to ensure the tranquillity of Spain, has ordered that, independently of the 22,000 mentioned in the first article of the re am Convention, and of the Swiss Brigade mentioned in the thirdarticle, there shall be other French troops, to form the garrison of Cori unna, Santona, Saragoisa, Carlona, and Hostalrich, placing also a brigade, with some squa drons and some corps of :sante+ y en echelons, between Vittoria and Irun.

The only article worth quoting contains some interesting puticulars of the loss of the schooner the Calypso. The Governor•Genval of Java, and his Lady, were daily expected iu the island from Macassar The following are extracts : BATAVIA, AUGUST 21. We have received sore particulars of the loss of his Majesty's colonial schooner the Calypso, which sailed from Amboyna on the 18th of April, with dispatches for Java. After struggling for several days with contrary winds, it Struck, on the 28th, at midnight, on a reef _galled by the natives Passeleurang, about five miles &W. by W. from the island of Rosagalet. The ship filling rapTaly with water it was resolved to abandon 1 k; part of the crew got on board, and part which they put together, but the latter not I to keep the raft afloat returned to the ship, and on board the long-boat (which was goo crowded to,re ceive any more), promised to send it back to fetch them . off. This, however, they were unable to do. After driving about for four days, without food, and eery little water, and assailed by the inhabitants of several small islands with shot and darts; the long boat was surrounded, near the island Lusmadie five vessels of the natives, and the crew being with Out arms,and completely exhausted, were taken prisoners by a hundred of the natives. After having remained tvvelVe days in slavery in the island, they were set at liberty by the intercession of the Rajah of Bone, ate, except th Europeans and sir Javanese. Those relased, to the number of ten or twelve Europeans and three Javanese, arrived at Macassar on the 21st of June. We havenp account of the fate .sf those who remained on the wreck, but vettels and agents have been lent, to . en deavour to save them. (of ir The days of the S•uth Sea and Missisaippi schemes are returning, so far as a rage of speculation goes, though we confess we do not see among the many jects now on foot, any so extravagant as characterizes the former periods. Foreign funds and " home-born projects" as Berl JONSON would call them, alike occupy the attention. and capital of the British public ; but, for the last few days,Mining Shares are all the rage, and Companies aie forming with capital enough to disemb..wel the earth ofl all its treasures. The Stock Exchange, this morning, was a scene of Babel-like confusion, by clamours for shares, in consequence of which the advance in Mining Shares. has been almost unparalleled. Thus Colombian Mine Shares, on which only 51. has been paid, and which were on Saturday at 481. and 501. this morning rose to 701. and 751. the Brazil Shares (51. paid), which were at 361. and 371. have risen to 651. the Angio-Mezi can (10/. paid), were of Saturday morning at 681. and 701. but afterwards got up to 921. and 941. this morning rose to 150 d —the United Mexican Mines (101 i paid), which were on. Saturday at 1151. and 1201. skere this day as high *as 1601. The greatest; demand is, however, for the Real del Monte Mine Shares. The Shares in this Company are 4.00/. each, of which 701. only has been paid, and yet their current price is from 1,0501. to 1,200/. per Share I and few if any sellers! at the price-15001. per shares is asked this morning. There is a similar advance, thoigh not to so great an eltenr, in almost all the new Atilt Stock Companies. The Australian Company's shares, on which only 11. has been paid, are at 211. 221. and the Canada Company shares, on which 51. have been paid, are at 201. and 251. i Such is the excess of capital and the eagerness of spe culation at present in this country. There are few measures orpolicy, and few discoveries in science, however obvious, that, on their first being made known,are not opposed by some individuals, either from mistaken or interested motives; to what class we are to attribute the constant attacks in some of the Pa pers on Sir HUMPHRY DAVY'S improved method of coppering ships bottoms, we know not ; it is our busi ness to skew that they are unfounded. It is already known, that many months ago the MARANG was fitted out at Portsmouth, on Sir Hum- WIRY DAVY'S plan ; and that she has recently returned to that port, from a voyage principally undertaken to put the experiment to the test. About a fortnight ago the Hampshire Tekgraph, noticing the return of the SAMARANG, stated, that though " the oxidation of the metal (a slip of which is, according to Sir HUMPHRY'S plan, placed on the edge of the copper sheathing), is prevented by the defensive action of the iron, the ani malcule, which this oxidation used to destroy, now prey in such security upon the vessel, that the bottom of the SAMARANG is covered with worms, barnacles, and sea weed:, to a degree which prevents her being steered with necessary safety. She has, therefore, returned to England to be redocked and rec oppered" To this statement we gave, on the nest authority, the most positive contradiction, and should scarcely have recurred to the subject had not the Times of this morn ing prefaced another article from the Hampshire Tele graph, by affecting to doubt the accuracy of our refu tation, as the source of it was not mentioned. It is true s we did not give our author4„but it was not anonymous, and we now do not hesitate to say that it was such as the Times would not for a moment have doubted; we shall now, however, give other evidence in support of our statement. The Hampshire Telegraph, without noticing the direct contradiction of its former paragraph, gives, " from a Correspondent," another article, asserting that the bot tom of the Samarang " is in the same state as any other ship without the protectors—that the weeds havegrown about two inches in length—that the protectors them selves are decomposed ;" and that " an Officer belonging to her, states, that he saw, in the clear water of Ber muda, that her bottom was covered from stem to stern, from two feet below the water-line down to the kelson, with weeds from 12 to 15 inches in length. The ship was then so incapable of being steered, that the Ber mudian pilots would not take the charge of navigating her into that port." These are positive assertions; they are, however, as positivitly contradicted by the Hampshire Chronicle, (an equally good authority as the Telegraph) re ceived this morning, in the following paragraph:— " The SAMARANO hal been docked, for the purpose of inspecting the state of her, copper, which is found to be perfectly free from all accumulation of barna cles, &c. as was at first reported. The iron plates • ked in. her ran are very math aorrodsd, lust,the copper is as fleas as ,when it, was first- tried.; the e`it- Perim tent, we oadere.ird, was made With Old copper." The same paper contains a retort of the meeting of ,t4e Portsmouth Philtsaaphical Society, which is still more decisive, and is confirmed by a letter we have received from a known correspondent in that town, which we subjoin. Mr. Cum., the President of the So ciety, took the opportunity of contradicting the et roneou s statements which had gone ((nth. He said, 14 he had mi nutelyexa mined the Sam A RA NO since sbe came into dock, and he said it on the authqrity of a Naval Gentleman experienced in the subject,- as well as on his own, that no ship in his Majesty's Navy ever came home from a foreign station, with a dearer copper, or in a better state bottom. Nothing, in fact, could be more satisfactory than the appearance of the ship's copper. The accu mulation of weeds or shells was peculiarly small, and little-else - but a few of the minutest limpets had be come attached in the space of several months." The President also denied that the SAMARANG had been sent honk in consequence of the failure of Sir HVZIPHRY'S plan, or that it failed at all. We now sub- join the letter from our correspondent, and leave the Hampshire Telegraph and its correspondent to defend ifs charges as they can.. Posvenotrie, St ItMAT Evsamo. Sin—Various reports being in circulation relative to the state of his Majesty's ship &Aaiun°, docked here on Thursday last, and the subject having excited the ` liveliest interest in this neighbourhood, I beg leave to haul y.ns some remarks made by the President of the Phiii,s...Hcal Society of this town, on Friday evening. The President (.lAuxs CALL, Esq.) remarked—" I wish re,pect to the experiments of Sir H. Davy. I think it would have been much more in accordance with what is due to this able experimentalist, that no observation, should be made on the success of these experiments till Sir 11. Davy bad modified them, so as to give his own testimony as to their importance, and the value to which they are entitled. Considering, however, the degree of interest which these experiments have exciteu in the public mind, it was not, perhaps, extraordinary, that persons, whose province it is to make communica tions to the public, should have allowed themselves to be misled by the representations of persons who were probably but ill qualified to report on such important and delicate subjects, and which must require some degree of chemical knowledge to aid their observations; nor should I have thus publicly noticed these things, if the reports had not originated in these towns." I have carefully examined the bottom of the vessel, and 'instead of the experiment having failed, the con trar) most decidedly the case. The Semarang had been represented to be so foul that she would not answer the helm, and the pilot of Bermuda refused to take charge of her, so that it became necessary to bring her hOnse, and dock her. The lovers of natural history, here, were all on the alert, expecting to find an associa tion of everything curious in the marine world-adhering to her copper; when, to the astonishment of all, she was found to be in a very considerable degree less foul than ships ingeneral are, m 1911144 from Uui 44in:hatter such a 1151464 of time as she has been out.--A Naval Captain. of the highest reputation, made at the same time a like observation. It was quite apparent that a very active principle had been in full and vigorous operation. The iron plates were softened into a spongy ' mass r and, for some distance round the plates, the iron was as bright as when it first issued from the rollers of , the Dock-yard : a very few small barnacles were at tached to the copper is the immediate vicinity of the plates; and in no part of the ship did the vegetation exceed two inches in length, and was of the most mi nute kind, and of the geatest delicacy of structure. Sir H. Davy is expected here to-morrow, to view the ship. , eb THE KING.

A Meeting took place last night (Sunday 1), in the Catholic School, in Dean -street, Soho, in furtherance of the fund known in this country and Ireland by 4 , The Catholic Rent." Mr. Borisov, a Banister, presidsti over a numerous assembly, and stated the objects of their present meeting, inviting, as we learnt, men of all religious denominations to come, not only to their open public meetings, but to become members of a Commiitee then forming, or be present at every sitting of that Committee for the great object they had in view. At the close of the business•of the evening, the sum of 5L 6s. sd. was announced as the amount of sub scriptions. And a Gentleman, whom name we could not learn, congratulated the Meeting on this infant proof of what might be expected, even in a small way, from individual exertion. The account from the speaker was very favourably received, and it was an nounced that from time to time the Committee would meet to consult on the best means of forwarding the objects of the present Meeting. We are infornied, by a letter received from an Officer of his Majesty's ship Tattaa, 28, Captain Conon.: Barman, Cs& that the sudden sailing of that ship from England, with sealed orders, in February last, was occasioned by its being detern.ined by Government to colonise Melville Island. The TAMAR arrived at the Cape of Good Hope on the &h of June, but it being necessary to refit her, she did not leave that place until the 18th of July..--She ajived at Sydney (New South Wales) after as excellent passage of forty-seven days from the Cape, where Capt. Banta* hired two trans ports, and they took on board 8) rank and file of soldier, and a number of the most riotous of the convicts, and sailed for Port Essington, in Melville Island, which is in the Gulph of Carpentaria, at the North end of New Holland.--The TAMAR will leave the detachment of Royal Mat ines, which she embarked at Plymouth, as a Garrison at Port Essington.—The TAMAR afterwards proceeds to England, calling at the Presidencies At C eutta and Madras, for dispatches and mails. Melville Island is well situate for: the encouraging of trade and communication with the Malays. We have received Madrid Papers to the 28th ultime. n • t T eo he r tc t r contents, s i te.daint.dt as r u c regards ostat bfi th o e m l soc 'enin tb su A la a m , er r i e c a o of deserven o r WEST tr • - LETTEI 1 COSTINVATION TO tilE Er Vor the purpose of perfectly this great qu hte of free and slave-lt anderstood by ANIMA s oother case. somewh e lngo and Cayenne:l the period that the Ne Mr. Stephen. io his 16, to sl e N egr oes, in St. Domin t h e smaller Island 0 4, our intelligence is r ,c a t ft in e ; th ref e er field or • tioct.
