The entrance to No. 1 dock has__ been deepened and the waterway widened ; but owing to the set of the tide at that spot the dock will never be fit for the reception of any but the smaller class of vessels. Ili consequence of the dock in its present state being altogether useless, it bas been boarded over and converted into, a *ciikShop for the mecilanics employed on the Achilles. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt. C. T. Leckie to the Leo pard ; H. C. W. Wise, master, to the Colossus, for the Coastguard; C. T. F.

The ceremony of turning the first sod of this railway was performed on Wednesday by Mr. J. A. Wade, the chair man of the company, at Hornsea. The new line will form a junction with the North-Eastern Railway Company's Victoria dock branch, near Hull, over which the trains will run for about three miles. The length of the Hornsea line will be about 13 miles, but, including the portion run over the North-Eastern, the total mileage will be over 15. The line is to be laid upon the most approved method, and it is expected that it will not cost more than £60,000. Messrs. S. and T. Crawshaw are the contractors, the contract being taken within £2OO of the engineer's estimate, and is to be completed and in work by the commencement of next year's season, in July. During the ceremony great demonstra tions of rejoicing were made. It is expected from the importance of the district through which the line will pass, the easy gradients and works, and the light capital cost, that it will prove one of the most remunerative railway undertakings in Yorkshire. The following are the particulars of the loss of the Royal Mail screw steamer Cleopatra : The above ship was tot ally lost on the bar (entrance to the Sherboro' River), about 100 miles south Adjoinin;;• the Terrace Pier.

The traffic receipts of railways in the United Kingdom amounted for the week ending Oct. 4, on 10,485 miles, to £612,664, and for the corresponding week of last year, on 10,186 miles, to £586,378, showing an increase of 299 miles and of £26,286 in the receipts. The gross receipts on the following 14 railways amounted in the aggregate on 7,207 miles, to £484,668, and for the corresponding week of 1861, on 7,006 miles, to £467,822, showing an increase of 201 miles, and of £16,846 in the receipts. The increase an the Caledonian amounted to £4Bl, on the Great Eastern to £1,070, on the Great Southern and Western to £4BO, on the Great Western to £6,110, on the London and North-Western to ±5,136, on the London, Brighton, and South Coast to £3,272, on the London and South-Western to £1,826, on the North British to £433, on the North-Eastern to £1,873, and on the South-Eastern to £3,361; total, £24,042. But from this must deducted £2,231, the decrease on the Great Northern, £2,998 on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, £1,339 on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, and £626 on the Midland; together, £7,196, leaving the increase, as above, £16,846. The goods and mineral traffic on those lines amounted to £225,745, and for the corresponding week of 1861 to £230,327, showing a decrease of £4,582. The receipts for passengers, parcels, &c., amounted to £258,923, against £237,495, showing an increase of £21,428. The traffic receipts on 64 other lines amounted, on 3,279 miles, to £127,996, and for the corresponding week of last year, on 3,180 miles, to £118,556, showing an increase of 99 miles, and of £9,440 in the receipts. The increase in the traffic of the past week, as compared with the corresponding period of 1861, arises chiefly from the passenger traffic to the International Exhibition. The traffic receipts of the past week show an increase of £1,040 as compared with those of the preceding week, ending the 27th ult. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. Miles Opened. Receipts.

The only alternative now left was to wait until daylight, as the exact position of the vessel, owing to the darkness, could not be correctly ascertained. Although the Cleopatra held fast all night—the engines being kept going abort half speed astern, to prevent the ship verging ahead — still every one had hopes that she would be got off in the morning by kedging. Daybreak of the 20th revealed to us our true position. About 6 a.m. the ship's gig was lowered in charge of the second officer to take soundings, an d shortly afterwards the long b oa t was lowered to receive an anchor and ca bl e t o kedge , the ship off. The longboat was very nearly being capsized by getting broadside oil to the rollers, and was obliged to be pulled into smooth water to bail her out. The gig now returned, and with some difficulty the second officer managed to get on board, but the boat was obliged to leave the ship's side to save her from being stove in. As both boats had now left the ship, and were some distance off, signals were mad; for their return, but apparently without being observed by those in the boats. The ship had been bumping very heavily all the morning, and it was desirable as a last resource that the kedges should be got out. It was therefore agreed that a third boat should be lowered, in charge of the chief officer, to recal the other two boats. This boat was lowered about 11 a.m. Shortly after- wards we were obliged to cut away the fore and main masts to ease the ship. By this time it was evi dent that it would be impossible for any of the boats to return to the ship on account of the heavy breakers alongside and the strong tide running, so that we were now dependent on one boat. The en gines also had now stopped of themselves, the boiler being nearly filled with sand, while the surf broke constantly with tremendous force against the ship. The night of the 20th was spent most anxiously by all on board ; and the thumping of the ship on the bar was frightful, and it was apparent that the bar was getting worse every day. The morning of the 21st broke, but no signs of any of the ship's boats. We still agreed to remain on board in the expectation of some assistance from a man-of-war from Sierra Leone. We discovered that during the night we had been driven in towards the shore a considerable distance, and now lay firmly embedded in the sand. The ship was a total wreck. Several times during the day we saw several people on the beach (about three miles distant), but could not dis cern whether they were white or black. The passen gers generally were more inclined to remain by the ship, in the hopes of some assistance being rendered, rather than land in a place where it was uncertain whether the natives were friendly or hostile, but the afternoon of this day decided our movements, The flood tide and surf combined coming in so heavily it was evident that the ship's stern could not hold to gether much longer.. It was determined that the last boat—a life-boat--should be lowered next morning (22d), containing no one but the passengers and a picked crew ; the captain (Delamotte) and the re mainder of the officers and clew agreeing to take to rafts, which were immediately begun to be con structed. During the night the stern partly gave way, and it required every possible exertion, with the aid of sails hung over the stern, to keep the saloon from being flooded. This was, indeed, a most anxious night for all on board. About six a.m. the next morning (22d) the only remaining boat was prepared for the passengers, and in about half an hour afterwards the ladies and children were safely stowed in the places allot ted them, it being previously arranged that the gentlemen should not enter the boat until it was lowered i l n o t w o e t r he th w e m a t s e e r l , v l e ie s f a l t in a es being all proper ready opportunity.for Eventually the boat was lowered, and every one got safely into her. Shortly after leaving the ship's side she narrowly escaped being w a completely filled with water.

They then agreed to abandon the wreck, and about 2 p.m. two rafts were launched, and about 18 persons got upon the largest. Unfortunately it capsized before it left the side of the vessel, and Mr. Webster, the chief en gineer, was drowned. This was not known, however, until the raft reached the land, when the body of Mr. Webster was discovered lashed to one of the timbers. The second raft reached the shore in safety. The captain and eight men remained on board to constrict another, which they made from the mizen-mast and some hen coops. The captain had still some hopes of assistance from Sierra Leone to save the mails and specie, having had no communication with the beach since the ship had stranded. On the 23d a boat containing Mr. Hanson, Lloyd's agent, and a crew of five men attempted to come off to the ship, but the boat was swamped by the breakers and all on board perished. The captain and the few who remained with him were on the 2d September compelled to abandon the ship, and after committing themselves to the raft arrived in about two hours safely- on the beach and proceeded up the river to the factories, where they were most hospitably received. Most of the crew and some of the passengers had previously proceeded to Sierra Leone in a small steamer sent from there for the purpose. In the remainder a small vessel was chartered. After a tedious passage of five days they arrived safely at Sierra Leone on the Bth of September, the greater portion being laid up with fever.

The Curacoa steam sloop was brought down the harbour and placed in the steam basin at Ports mouth yesterday, for the purpose of being surveyed preparatory to her being brought forward for com mission. The Enchantress, paddlewheel despatch vessel, in No. 7 Dock at Portsmouth, is ordered to have her copper completed with all despatch, so as to be taken out of dock by the 13th. The Himalaya steam troopship, Capt. Lacy, is ordered from Woolwich to Portsmouth. On her arrival at the latter port she will be taken into No. 10 dock for examination, and to have her repairs completed. The Egmont, recently converted into a storeship by Messrs. White, of Cowes,. has been removed to Portsmouth and taken into the steam.basin for the purpose of being masted and fitted out for foreign service. With the exception of a body of shipwrights employed on the paddlewheel despatch steamer Salamis, 4, 250-horse power, the efforts of the mechanics and artisans at Chatham dockyard are devoted almost exclusively to the iron and iron plated ships under construction. The'greatest share of attention is directed to the iron frigate Achilles, 50, 1,250 -horse power, which has as many as 500 hands employed on her, a considerable number of whom are shipwrights who have been there since the turnout of the hired mechanics, which occurred some few months since. The work is now steadily proceeding. Some unforeseen delays have occurred during her progress, consequent on the Admiralty having deviated from the plans according to which it was originally intended she should be built; but as the alterations are the result of the practical trials with the Warrior and Black Pi ince, the experience thus gained will be turned to proper account during the progress of the Achilles. The altera tions have been finally approved by the Board of Admiralty, and no further delay from this cause is again likely to arise. The Achilles, unlike the Warrior or Black Prince, will be completely en cased in armour-plates, rendering her invulnerable from stem to stern. In this respect she will be superior in her means of defence to both the vessels named, which are only covered with armour plates for about 200 feet, on their broadsides, leaving the distance to their stem and stern entirely unprotected, with the exception of a thin coating of iron. It is also intended to carry the armour-plates to a height of seven feet above the main deck all round. By this means additional protection will be given at the part of the vessel where it is most required. In No. 3 dock, adjoining that in which the Achilles is building, lies the Royal Oak, 50, armour-plated frigate. The number of hands employed about her is between 300 and 400, their efforts being chiefly concentrated on placing her armour-plates. At the time of her launch a few weeks since, her third tier of plates on her broadsides had been commenced. Since she has been in dock, however, another tier has been added, and these have nearly all been bolted nin tg a r mo u r- p latestshh o n ea p s a shaping, packingi gpesal bend ing, ie oi galvan i sed a g l felt .

Th e d s eirdh otherwisee m iron, a h t hi machinery prepar ing p r y l a f t o e r p ai s being l ai d the plates is now in full operation, the iron slabs being turned out complete as fast, if not faster, than alah the mechanics can fix them to the ship's side. The Royal Oak has already shipped her huge iron lower masts and bowsprit, and from the energy which is being shown in completing her there is every pro bability that she will be ready to proceed to sea early in 1863. In order to facilitate the operation of plating the Royal Oak tramways have been laid down on both sides of the dock, on which are laid two of Taylor's large travelling steam cranes, each capable of lifting armour-plates of the heaviest kind. . . To within 40ft of her stem and stern the armour- plates of the Royal Oak will be of the uniform thickness of 41in ; they will then commence taper ing off to 3in in thickness, excepting under the buttock, where they will be 23-in, and at the stern 2in in thickness. In the adjoining sheds are the Belvidera, 51, 500-horse power; the Menai, 22, 400-horse power ; the Reindeer, 17, 250- horse power ; and the Myrmidon, 4, 250-horse power, which have not a single hand employed on them, the sheds being used as workshops principally for preparing the plates for the Achilles and the sdednittwtime little Royalpro gress Oak. The fine two-decker pcoerrrvi toi3aciof the Bulwark, ye ar,i t 9 i o s 9io, 500 horse power, which was commenced three years since, and is about half completed, has had the whole of the hands withdrawn from her for some time, the Admiralty being undecided whether to complete her according to her present plan or to convert her into an iron-plated frigate. She has recently been surveyed by Admiral Robinson, Surveyor of the Navy, and it is now intended to alter her to a 50- gun armour-plated frigate according to a plan sub mitted to the Admiralty by Mr. Lang, the master shipbuilder at Chatham. This will necessitate the odfonCohPtaiYtlllaatdmilehmmence. removal of her upper deck, an addition of some 40 feet to her length amidships, and additional strength w eight being imparted to her to bear the increased of her armour plates.

The Marshland flood, of which so much has been said and written during the last few days, and so many exaggerated reports circulated, is now virtually at an end. For the first time since Saturday last, when the sluice " blew," the tide bas to-night been up and gone down again and not one drop of water has gone over. The tide to-night was as high as it has been yet, and, for all that, the banks were high enough and strong enough to keep the tidal waters within a circle. The flood is now virtually at an end. The ar rangements made during the last two days to afford a barrier strong enough to enclose the water, and prevent it from flowing into the land, have been carried out with the greatest possible energy and perseverance. Yesterday a most substantial earth dam was constructed by about 740 men and 150 tumbrils, and to-day about 50 carts and nearly the same number of men as on the previous day have made two large banks, each from 250 to 300 feet long and about 30 feet wide at the base. They were made of extraordinary strength, and are pro bably able to stand against almost any tide. There are about 2,700 acres of fen land inundated ; in short, Broad and Marshland Fen. In addition to this there are about 1,200 acres of high land which has been inundated, but there is not more than half this quantity flooded at the present time. The whole extent of inundated land is something less than 4,000 acres, and of that 500 or 600 acres are already drained by means of the Marshland drain. The whole of the water will soon be carried away. The sight at the earth dam to-night by moonlight was a most imposing one. Above a hundred men were kept at work till after the tide had fallen some feet. The Marshland sluice, which is under the care of Mr. A. Saunders, C.E., is being regularly watched, and this is necessary in consequence of the heavy strain there will be on it for some time to come. The greatest praise ought to be bestowed upon all parties concerned in the work during the last two days. The work, which has been successfully accomplished, was truly great, but the men worked with extraordinary energy. FRIDAY. The latest endeavours to exclude the sea water from the Marshland Fen drain by raising the banks from the ruined sluice to the earth dam, 400 yards above, have been so successful that yes terday evening's and this morning's tides made no impression upon the obstacle. As the tides are now decidedly: lessening, the country is relieved from its anxiety for the present moment, and has breathing time to consider what is best to be done for preventing a renewal of the calamity by works of a permanent character. The inundated district, however, especially in Marshland Fen, still presents a most. desolate appearance, and in passing along the Wisbeach Railway one sees the water extending on both sides as far as the eye can reach. This will, of course, continue to be the case until time and means are at command to run off the water from the surface of about 4,000 acres of flooded land. Mr. Harding, C.E., who in the crisis just past has been the engineer acting for the Marshland, Smeeth, and Fen Commis sioners, and to whom their success is greatly due, has a confident expectation of devising an outlet for the drainage which shall have all the efficiency of sluices, in cases where navigation is not con cerned, with none of the danger and expense that constantly attend those structures. RELIGIoUS FREEDOM IN SPAIN. The following is the judgment of the tribunal of Grenada in the case of Teva and Matamoros for propagating Protestant docrines in Spain : Are condemned—Jose Alhama Teva, to nine years' imprisonment, and Manuell Matamoros to eight years' imprisonment, and both are for ever prevented from following the profession of teacher, interdicted from all political offices and rights dur ing the term of their sentence, and condemned to pay a quarter of the expenses each. The books and papers seized will be retained. The other prisoners to the number of 11 are ac quitted. The Correspondencia says:— These men were condemned not because they were Protestants, seeing that nobody is punished in Spain for religious opinion, but because they openly, with tongue and pen, excited a propaganda in favour of Protestantism, which is forbidden by the constitution of the State—a constitution which in this respect is in harmony with the most demo cratic institutions which have existed in Spain since 1812. The Siecle, commenting on this, says : That the Protestants of Grenada have been con demned under law we do not doubt ; but what surprises us is, that wich a law should be in existence in the 19th century in a civilised country , and applied with so much rigour; and this. for .. having read the Bible in public, or lent it to a nelgli bour. The Correspondencia says that no on e is ha. 1 pro secuted in Spain for his religious belief. But what is a religious belief that cannot be openly professed without committing an offence, and whi ch islV hibited from being embodied in worship? 'Spain D likes to boast of the material progress which made for some time past—of her military glory, industrial industrial prosperity,and her agricultura g agricultural resources.

Spa in has given herself representative institutions. D o we not there find a strange inconsistency ? A modern government and an exploded legislation— institutions borrowed from the 19th century, and a code still redolent of the superstitions of the middle ages. It is not forgotten that Spain made, not long ago, an attempt to take her place among the great powers of Europe. The attempt was unsuccessful. It is fortunate that it was repulsed ; it would have been too painful to have seen seated in the first rank of the council of nations a power which, wit ingly and voluntarily, c ontinues to lower itself to a level with the very last. ROYAL HORTICULTITRAL SOCIETY.—We are re quested to state that the international show of cereals, roots, vegetables, and gourds, at South Kensington will continue open during th© whole of nett week, parliamentary agents' charge-, and misc;,lhineous expens es incurred by y our honourable board in connextioft with the measure during its passage through parliament, from which it appears that so far as at present ascertained, the expenses incurred amount to £1,61048. 4d. Borings and other vorks for carrying out the act are now in progress, and with a view to providing for defraying the cost of the same, and meeting the expenses above referred to, your committee recommend that a communica tion be made to the Treasury apprising them of the amount of expenses already incurred, and for the purpose of openieg an account at the bank, that the board do under their seal, in pursuance of the 45th section of the Thames Embankment Act, 1862, request the commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury to pay over to them the sum of £20,000 on account." In answer to Mr. Robinson, The CHAIRMAN said the Thames Embankment Act authorised an expenditure to be incurred by this board, and such expenses were to defrayed out of the Thames embankment fund. That expen diture comprised the expense of obtaining the act, making borings along the foreshore of the Thames, and other expenses, for the purpose of enabling the board to proceed with vigour in carrying the provi sions of the act into effect. Mr. ROBINSON said he saw by the model before him that several new streets were proposed in con nexion With the Thames embankment, and he wished to know if those proposed new streets ema nated from this board. The CHAIRMAN said they formed a portion of the scheme recommended by the royal commissioners, and since then sanctioned by Parliament. The model now on the table showed in its integrity the scheme as it had been approved by both Houses of Parliament. The recommendation of the Finance Committee was unanimously adopted. ycf THE PROPOSED GARIBALDI MEE7ING IN THE CITY. ,-48 N: The sub-committee appointed to arrange the de tails of this meeting met last night. Mr. Richard son, one of the hon. secretaries, reported that the London Tavern could not be obtained for Wednes day next, the day fixed upon. He had received a large number of letters from members of Parlia ment, clergymen, merchants, bankers, and other gentlemen in the City, men of all parties, and many of whom who had not signed the requisition, all strongly disapproving of the conduct of the Lord Mayor in refusing the use of the Guildhall to the re quisitionists. The majority of these letters contained offers of personal and pecuniary aid to make the meeting at the London Tavern an effective one. It was finally resolved that the meeting should be held on Friday next, the 17th inst., at the London Tavern, at two o'clock, Mr. Western - W ood, M.P., having consented to take the chair ; and that Baron Rothschild, Sir J. Duke, and Mr. R. W. Crawford, the other City members, should be invited to take part, in the proceedings. It was also arranged that the speakers should be chosen, as far as possible, from City men, so that the meeting might be really, what it professed to be, an expression of the citizens of London, Every precaution has baen taken against disturbance. It is said that another set of requisitionists hay their eyes on the Guildhall; for on Wednesday tht Lord Mayor received an intimation that a r‘quisi - tion might soon be presented to him, asking for the use of the hall for a meeting " to adopt an address to the Queen praying that her Majesty will be pleased to command her Ministers to abstain from urging on the Emperor of France the withdrawal of his troops from Rome, as such withdraival would, under present circumstances, cause the invasion of the capital of the dominions of the sovereign pon tiff, the ally of her Majesty." This, of course, ema nates from the Roman Catholics. It is also stated that a communication has been received at the Mansion-house from a Roman Catholic source, to the effect that an organised attempt would be made to defeat the object of the proposed meeting, and that a serious disturbance might take place, adding that the Irish population in London are in a state of great excitement.
