711 E NAVY. His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, attended by Major Cowell, embarked on Saturday on board her Majesty's yacht El fin ,Master-Commander Balliston, from the St. George, 86, screw, Capt. Hon. Francis Egerton, at Spithead, and, landing at the dock yard, left for London on a visit to the International Exhibition. His Royal Highness returned ato Portsmouth on leaving the Exhibition, but owing to a dense fog was unable to reach his ship at Spit head, and slept at Dent's George Hotel, rejoining the St. George yesterday morning- The Edgar line-of-battle ship, Capt. the Hon. F. A. Foley, was undocked at Portsmouth on Satur day, on completion of the repairs to her stern, and vent out of harbour to Spithead, where she will take in her powder and shell for sea. She is ex pected to sail this afternoon for Lisbon, looking in at Portland to pick up the Warrior and Black Prince iron frigates. The Resistance, 16, screw, iron ram, Capt. Chamberlain, is also expected to leave Spithead to-day or to-morrow for Portland or Lisbon. It is reported that, in addition to these vessels, a portion, if not the whole of the Channel fleet, will proceed to Lisbon to render all possible honour on the part of this country to the marriage of the King with the Princess Maria Pia, daughter of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy. A letter from Malta, dated Valetta , Sept. 22, says :—" Her Majesty's steam corvette I c arus, 11, Commander Salmon, V.C., arrived here on the 17th inst. from Beyrout, touching at Rhodes and Candia. Having been three weeks on the passage, chiefly under sail, she brings no fresh news. She confirms the reports previously received of Syria being in rather an unsettled state, but contradicts the ru mours which had prevailed for some time past of a renewal of disturbances in Candia. She left at Beyrout the 'Mars, 80, Capt. J. N. Strange, and the Surprise, 4, Commander W. H. Whyte ; also the surveying vesse l Firefly, 3, Commander Mansell, which had arrived there a day or two before her de parture for Malta. The Mars was expecting orders to be sent home to be paid off. The Wanderer, 4, Commander M. C. Seymour, was at Cyprus. While on the coast of Syria Commander Salmon, one or two of the officers, and several of the crew were laid up with fever, but are now, I am happy to state, convalescent. The commander, a midshipman, and three men were, however, on arrival here, removed to hospital to complete their recovery. The other ships on the station continued healthy. No other changes have taken place among her Majesty's ships in the Mediterranean. Rear-Admiral Codrington has returned from Italy, and rehoisted his flag (the red) on board the receiving-ship Hibernia. The only vessels of war in port besides the Hibernia, and her tenders, the Boxer and the Growler, are the Magicienne, the Icarus, and the Alacrity. Easterly winds have continued to prevail during the past week, and the weather has consequently been disagreeably warm, clammy, and oppressive. 23.—The Foxhound arrived from Corfu at daylight this morning. Admiral Martin was still there on the 19th inst., with his flag flying on board the Algiers, 89, Capt. E. B. Rice. The Shannon, 50, Capt. 0. Jones, and the Trident, 3, Commander C. J. Balfour, were also lying there, the former having arrived from England and Malta, and the latter having returned on the 18th from Ancona and other ports in the Adriatic. The Marlborough, 131,Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., was entering Corfu under sail from a cruise when the Foxhound left on the evening of the 19th. The Foxhound arrived at the Zante at 2 p.m. of the 20th, and consigned to the Commissariat Department there 170 empty casks to fill with currants for the fleet. She left again the same evening." The hired transport Maria Frederika, laden with 700 tons of returned stores from Hong Kong for Woolwich, Deptford, and the Tower, arrived at Woolwich Arsenal, on Saturday, and commenced discharging on the pier. Her Majesty's screw steamship Adventure, Com mander Lethbridge, from North Amercia, com menced repairing in dock at Woolwich, on Satur day. A number of artisans from the factory de partment of the dockyard have been ordered to work with the utmost diligence, and to continue over a considerable portion of the night, so as to complete the repairs by the 24th of next month, when the dock will be required to receive the Cale donia, ordered to be launched and docked on that day. The Adventurer's fore foot has been entirely removed, the plates having been found to be da maged in that direction. The nature of the damage was safficiently ascertained by means of the diving bell at St. John's, where the accident occurred. A quantity of felt was forced over the spot, and the vessel was rendered.comparatively safe for the voy age home. The master carpenter who directed the proceedings in the diving bell was invalided on the ship's arrival at Woolwich. The Carnation, screw gunboat, attached to the Chatham steam reserve, is having her engines con verted from high pressure to those on the condens ing principle. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—E. T. Mortimer, surgeon, to the Stromboli ; W. T. Grieve, paymaster, to the Perseus ; J. Roberts, acting ehief engineer to the Barossa ; W. N. Donald, engineer, to the Eclipse ; R. Hodge, engineer, to the Barrosa ; T. H. Mor gan, acting engineer, to the Pembroke; W. Castle, acting engineer, to the Cornwallis ; J. Cooper and A. Young, first class assist.-engineers, to the Barrosa; J. S. M , Farlane and J. C. Weeks, first class assist.- engineers, to the Eclipse ; C. W. G. Chambers, first class assist.-engineer, to the Cornwallis; T. G. R. Knight, confirmed first class assist.-engineer in the Asia; J. A. Dicks, second class assist.-engineer, to the Barrosa; J. Mitchell, acting second class assist-engineer, to th e Eclipse; A. A . Lee, R. F. Orton, A. R. Bickford, and H. S. T. Cho wne, mid shipmen, to the Barrosa; E. Wickham, J. B. Aylen, and A. H. Fronde, midshipmen, to the Perseus; B. A. Carbonnell, naval cadet to the Perseus ; H. H. Askew and W. A. Norman, naval cadets, to the Narcissus ; R. L. Groome, A. D. Woodd, B. D. Acland, C. Gardner, and J. L. Burr, naval cadets, to the Bacchante, as supernumeraries. A. H. Baker has been nominated to a naval cadetship. The following appointment has been made in the Royal Naval Reserve :—To be Lieut., B. A. John ston. 7HE A 81111 ' . Major-Gen. Ttumley, Inspector-General of Infan• try, 'will make his usual half-yearly inspection o: the troops urvin the e7or Colchester camp at in a few days. I ester Deputy - W ilton has arrived at the camp 1 for the purpose of relieving ord Deputy-Purveyor Lons- i dale, who hasbeen ered to the Mauritius. Lieut. Nelson and Lieut. O' C on nor, to join of the 6th Regiment, have received orders of that corps, and Capt. 31 ` 71 o n t t t he service companies l_st battalion lstFoot, is to join depot. On Friday, i pre k e r. Guy, C. 8., com mandant of the camp, a silver medal for long service and meritorious conduct to Colour- Serg. Salmon, Ist battalion, 6th. A detachment of Artillery, under th e command of Lieut. Scott, was en g a g ed last week in remount ing the guns at the Harwich redoubt, h undergone a series of e xtensive alterations and has a n c d e. pairs. A notification has bsen received at Chatham that tho 9-pounder Armstrong gun, recently approved for the liorse-brigade,Roy al Artillery, has been adopted by the Admiralty fur naval service. The 9 pounder Armstrong will, therefore, be in future substituted for the 12 pounder gun at present used in the ar mament of pinnaces and barges from 28 to 32 feet in length. It will also be used for field marine ser vice, and will be supplied to every vessel placed in commission. o, 7 ing entirely to timely intervention the Roya • , ArSenal at Devonport has inst been saved from a conflagration. The dockyard possesses two smith ric, the larger and most ancient of w hi c h is near the northern boundary, close to the entrance to the Keyham-yard t un nel. The lesser is at the other cad, and is calle d the South Smithery. The coal store for the north smithery has the stea.m-millhummer works close to it o n the n orth, the wright and engineers' shop 3Oft, in front, and the saw mills on its south ; it is slate roofed and divided into two I.ores, each czp2.ll::: of contafr.Eng about 500 tone of coal. The southern compartment was last week nearly full. It is provided with sufficient ventila tors to supply air to the heap, and to enable those in charge to ascertain the state of the fuel. On Sa turday afternoon, the 27th, the storekee l er disco vered that the coal was in a most dangerouslyheated condition, and the proper authorities 1 aving been apprised of the fact, all the available horses and carts in the yard were promptly employed in draw ing away the contents to the store of the southern smithery, where the coal is kept in an open pit. By this means the impending danger was avoided. Admiral-Superintendent Sir T. Pasley, and Com mander Brown, Master-Attendant, did not leave the store until this duty had been effectually per formed. The coal used by the smiths in this dock yard comes from Newcastle. The last cargo was stored about a month since. The previous lot was landed during wet weather, and it is conjectured that this coal produced the heat, which was judged by the ventilators to be greateosftt ihnetshteorceenhtarveeobfetehne heap. Some of the w indows blocked up. It is providential that the discovery was made on Saturday, or the intervention of Sun day might have given time for the complete ignition of all the coal. The store is built nearly on a level with the sea, with its back to the original rock. Be hind, nearly on a level with its roof, is the armou rer's store and band room, and it has been suggested that the mouths of some of the ventilators should open up in that locality, so that the police consta bles or other appointed persons might ascertain the condition of the fuel at any time by day or night. It is remarkable that this should have occurred on the anniversary of the great conflagration which occurred in the Devonport dockyard, Sept. 27, 22 years since. The Ist and 2d battalions of the Royal Arsenal Rifles, and the brigade of Artillery at Woolwich, were on Saturday brigaded on Woolwich-common. They went through a variety of movements, in cluding volley and line firing firing, skirmishing &c. The weather was exceedingly unfavourable, the rain falling incessantly during the greater por tion of the day. In carrying out the line firing the front rank suddenly rose before the rear rank had fired, when one of the men was severely wounded in the head. The wounded man was conveyed to the cadet's hospital at hand, and after a short time was enabled to go home. THE CALCU77A AND CHINA MAILS. By the Overland Mail we have received advices and papers from Calcutta to Aug. 22 ; Madras, Aug. 29 ; and from Hong Kong to Aug. 11. The news from Calcutta is of no special impor tance. The Bengal Hurkaru says : " Gen. Showers, who has been absent from the presidency some months, has returned, and assumed charge of the presidency division. His mission to Assam and the north- east frontier has been completed, but it remains to be seen if the mea sure now taken will ensure permanent quiet. Sir H. Rose is said to contemplate a secend tour of inspection shortly. A contemporary asserts that the Viceroy would leave the presidency at the beginning of January on a tour to the north-west. At present his Excellency is absent at Bhaugulpore for change of air, having suffered from slight indis position latterly. The Lieutenant-Governor reached Debrooghur on the 7th inst. This will probably be the limit of his present tour. Cholera has appeared with more or less virulence throughout the military stations in the north-west, and we regret to say that some regiments have suffered severely, but it has been nothing compared with the visitation last year. Extraordinary precautions are taken to avoid it, and the plan suggested by the Commander-in- Chief of removing the men to camp on its first ap pearance has been very effective. We alluded in a previous summary to the arrest of a Lieut. Jackson, upon a charge of having caused the death of a na tive servant by flogging so severely that death en sued within a few days. The facts connected with this case are most distressing, and almost warrant a belief that the accused is deranged in his intellect. It was originally intended to send him down to Calcutta for trial, but this order has been counter manded, and a court-martial will assemble at Mooltan to try the prisoner. The long-vexed ques t tion of waste lands has been finally disposed of, and as it differs in - very material respects from the ori ginal resolution of Lord Canning, it has by no means been received with satisfaction. The despatch on this subject was received by the last steamer, and was made public immediately. The Howe Govern ment adhere to the original proposition of granting or selling waste lands. It negatives, however, the popular notion that has existed, that by simply making application for certain tracts, and defining the sum to be paid, a valid title is secured. It is expressly provided that all land shall be sold by public auction, and it will not be in the power of the grantee to reserve adjoining tracts at his option. The redemption of the land revenue is confined within certain fixed limits, and the deci sion arrived at with regard to a permanent settlement of the land is considered, on the whole, very unsatisfactory. The defence of Mr. Laing has engaged a large share of public attention, and it will be satisfactory to that gentleman to know that his answer to the charges of Sir C. Wood is held to be complete and most effectual. The press, with one or two excep tions, have adopted this view, and are inclined to regard the question in dispute as one simply in volving a a difference of opinion in the mode of keeping the public accounts." COMMERCIAL. EXPORTS.-With a more liberally supplied market than we have at present, transactions would undoubtedly be larger ; but with supplies in many cases laid down sparingly, and prices maintained, and the rates of freight ruling high, there is a considerable check to business. IMPORTS.—We have had a more quiet market for cotton manufactures under the reaction on recent speculative transactions, as well as unfavourable advices from the vari ous provincial marts. At the close demand may be said to be exceedingly dull, but importers :continne very firm, although prices in the bazaar have receded. The advices from England are now looked for with increased anxiety. Exports for this market are advised as being, larger, but with the reduced stock in the manufacturing districts these cannot continue. On the spot our stocks are now reduced, and we have moderate imports. lklule twist is less active and lower. M etal very little changed in ppsition. Salt maintained. MONEY MARKET.--There is no change to report in the Money Market. The supply is more than ample to meet the d e mand. Rates remain a s l ast quoted. FAFIGHTS ,--U p to near the close of our report we have had g° go, and full rates, to a slight a go on those last given, were altained. We have now quote better than 15s. to d demanadnddfoor n to o n: lessi I " 7 i sn. ,airy,6 f r London, and £3 7s. Gd. to £3 lOs for Liver pool. CHINA. We take the following from the China Mail of the 11th August :-- " The irregular nature of our communication with I Japan prevents us from being able to report coati_ nuously thei;progress of events in our settlements there. The last information received was by a steamer belonging to Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co., and the only item of news which it brought was to the effect that all the ministers had left I Jeddo, the American minister included. There is considerably more significance in this fact than may at first appear. Such an event has ne ver happened s t ince foreign relations were opened wit h the coun i . 1 :5 1 2 t but that this is precisely the consu mmation n . a party in Jeddo have been sedulously schem ing.tor darin g th e l as t f ew years , i s no w pretty we ll under stood and servers. seemedthe continued to vie with residencea of all the ministers, who admitted by many politica l °b in our last summary o f news we recorded respective posts. is course, however, they Of this in remaining at their other have simultaneously h„ the first time, th e official.e authorities behold ja r: weary, and new, for have often Jeildo without a foreign tirs as being Pointed cot the present stat o f W il e d not a little wrought for with great patieranceentila.ff a move has been if the re portsen made skill by the Japanese Govern satis can be relied upon, while by the combined foreign ambassadors, wile quite voluntary on their part, is yet entirely factory to the native dignitaries. Another report to the effect that th e grea t princes of Japantrfepaortg- 1 ing to the Tycoon th e exclusive revenue he de r i v ei 'om foreign trade, we re a b ou t to demand fthe Open ing of additional ports in ' their own territories, is THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVE XING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1862. not at all likely to prove true, although rather plausible. The result of the alleged gathering of Daimios at Jeddo has not transpired; it may sim ply have been an auxiliary movement towards inducing Col. Neale and the others to retire from Jeddo. Matters in Japan are therefore, with one important exception, pretty much as when we last w ith regard to China, the last fortnight has passed . without any incident of importance. r,o,te At Tien-tsin cholera has been raging frightfully among the native population, and is said to be mov ing in the direction of Pekin. Further accounts say that the statesman Kweiliang has succumbed to it. Only one foreigner has fallen a victim in Tien-tsin. "At Chefoo, also, the pestilence has committed dreadful havoc, 20,000 people, it is reported, hav ing died of it. The Rev. S. Hall and other four of the foreign residents expired within a few days. "At Shanghae everything is quiet. The dimen sions and importance of that settlement are increas ing with the growing trade on the Yang-tsze river, already very large. A movement is at present on foot to have a regular municipal corporation, or something equivalent, with power and authority over the community to the extent of levying taxes for public purposes- A proposal to constitute Shanghae a free city has been made and has met with approval. In order to carry out this idea a charter would be required from the Emperor of China ; but the British consul, whose advice was requested, pointed out that the moment had scarcely , arrived for asking such a concession from th e Em peror. Considering the part Shanghae has recently played in Imperial interests, the reverse would rather seem to be the ease ; but it is beginning to appear that the representatives of England are act ing under instructions to be in the utmost degree guarded in encroaching upon Chinese interests. There is little doubt that the Emperor would grant requests of a reasonable kind now that he would not give much attention to in different circum stances, but our officials have instructions—we have evidence to show it—to deal favourably with the Chinese government, and to be strictly content with what we have got. " The following, from the North China Herald, refers to the former governor-general of the Shang hae province : " 4 There was a well-authenticated report current at Pekin, that the unfortunate governor-general of this and the neighbouring province, named Ho kwei-tsing, was beheaded on the 17th of the fifth month. It will be in the recollection of our readers that this is the same personage who remained a poverty-stricken refugee in Shanghae after the fall of Soochow, and whom we mentioned had gone to have his case tried at Pekin, which has resulted in his decapitation. Before his execution he handed in a petition informing the Emperor that what he had done—resulting in the loss of Soochow—had been done by the advice of four of tie chief provin cial authorities, amongst whom he named the Im perial Commissioner Hsieh. The governor general of the Kiang provinces and the governor of Kiang soo have been ordered to examine into the matter. Hsieh may possibly be banished.' " From the ports on the Yang-tse we have no par ticular intelligence. Hankow continues to improve. We have heard no solution to the land lot diffi culty ; that has been consigned to Pekin, where delay is necessary and undue delay more than suspected. " Canton and Macao have both suffered most seriously from the effects of a typhoon which swept over that district about a fortnight ago ; it is said to have been of a more severe nature than any that has been experienced for upwards of 30 years. The destruction of life and property at Canton is im mense,-the loss of life in the city and neighbour hood being estimated at 40,000. This is the highest estimate, but continued inquiries show it to be probably the most correct. At Macao some damage was done and a number of lives lost, but the place is not at all so much ',punished' as Canton. " From Ningpo, we hear that Luh-sin-lan has been decapitated. He is an old man of seventy, and had lately made himself obnoxious to the Impe rialists and to the Tontae of Ningpo. He had temporised with the rebels when the latter worthy fled, which fully accounts for the fact now recorded. At the same time a colour would not be wanting for Luh-sin-lan's execution. It has created much and deep regret among the missionaries, with whom he was on terms of friendship. This is the same man whom they brought out of Ningpo after its recap ture by the allies ; they brought him to the funeral of Lieutenant Cornewall, which was a kind of out rage on proper feeling that nothing we know of appears to have warranted. "The following notice of a pirate fleet in this neighbourhood is from our Shanghae contemporary : By the steamer Sir Charles Forbes we learn that these pests of humanity are again becoming trouble some on the coast between Shanghae and Ningpoo. The captain of the above-named steamer informs us that he spoke the Heather Bell, which had been fired on by the pirates off Chin-hae, on her voyage down from this port ; also that another small craft in company with her at the time is missing. These pirates are said to be very daring, and belong to Apak's fleet of buccaneers, the greater portions c f whom are now in the Imperial service, keeping the Taepings in check at a place some 30 miles inland from Ningpo. " In Hong-Kong everything goes on smoothly. The late typhoon was felt here in smart gusts of wind, which did just sufficient damage to show what we have to fear should any other part except the extreme edge of a cyclone approach us. About a week ago the Snake picked up a boat's crew who had left their vessel, the Lord of the Isles, after she had caught fire; the ship, being full of gunpowder in cargo, was abandoned soon after the efforts to extinguish the fire were seen to be unavailing. The crew reported the Captain (Davie) and eight pas sengers (including six French priests) as at sea in another boat. These have since, we are glad to say, turned up safely after considerable hardships. The weather here is pleasant, but the barometer is very low, and it is feared that the last has not yet been heard of typhoons, but that one is either im minent or raging somewhere in our neighbourhood. " With regard to the opium swindle matters are moving along slowly. Rustomjee still remains at Macao, his surrender to the authorities here being dependent on the decision of his excellency Gover nor Guimaraes, who is at present in the north of China. Rustomjee is represented in Hong-Kong by his attorney, Mr. Pauncefoote, who is prepared with and holds a document in terms of which the Parsee makes over certain assets in England to the creditors here. As the amount of those assets is not specified, although an attempt was made to convey the idea that they were immense, and as the right of Rustomjee as to their absolute dispo sal is far from certain, the creditors have refused to compromise the matter in consideration of getting this document ; it is called a trust deed, and lies in the attorney's hands ready for delivery on the terms proposed." correspondent troops which lately TIER— CONFEDERATE SOLDIERY.—The Baltimore an approacla either extremity. f the New York Times thus writes of the invaded Maryland :—Thousands of them !kegs, and many destitute of clothing for are hatless or city, who went to join sa t id that some Secessionists from this to particulars. hese liberators, had their ardour so It i: to their filthy condition don't force me cooled by returned in disgust. from There the windward side, that they be tween these friends of Mary ha evidently little affinity be and the kid-gloved gentry :111d,, in their present condition, repre sentatives of secessia now left in almost the only ragged and filthy, the rebel soldientlaßaltimore.

Even the women and children's shoes have been taken to be sent home. THE GOLDEN FLEECE S7EAMEB, DIS MASTED IN d HURRICANE. SHOCKING DEATH OF CAPT. WESTERN, R.N. Intelligence has been received by the Cape mail of the miraculous escape of the splendid screw steamer Golden Fleece, bound to London from Cal cutta and Madras with a large number of passen gers—and the melancholy fate of Capt. Western, R.N., the highly-respected commander of the ship. The East India and London Shipping Company have received the following particulars of the dis aster : _lt appears that on the 10th of July the screw was found to be out of gear, and on the 18th, there being light winds and the sea having gone down, the crew were employed in rigging purchases to raise the screw, which weighed about seven tons, and had to be raised 11 feet to enable the engineer to make the necessary repairs. In the afternoon the attempt was made at first with every prospect of success ; but at 5.30 p.m., when less than a foot more was required to raise it to a proper height, the chain parted, letting the screw slide down into its old position amidst a perfect flame of fire caused by the chain rushing through the iron block. Al though several of the crew and passengers were standing round assisting and witnessing the opera tion, no one fell a victim to this mishap but the commander, Capt. Western, who was struck in the chest with the chain which broke, and expired at half- past 11 from the effects of the severe injuries he had received. A piece of the chain (nearly half a link) was extracted from his back, having en tered his chest, breaking the breast-bone and seven ribs. When the purchase parted the screw came down with a terrific crash, and for a short time it was feared that some serious injury had been done to the stern post, but on sounding the well by order of Captain Western , who to the last thought of his vessel and passengers, it was found that nothing was to be apprehended. On being raised from the deck Capt. 'Western at once iaquired if any one had been hurt, and being answered in the nega tive, exclaimed, " Thank God, its only me," and then walked to his cabin, supported by two of the bystanders. A passenger writes :—" On the 19th it was our melancholy duty to commit to the deep the remains of this brave and lamented officer. The weather con tinued bad for several days, and on the afternoon of the 30th we split the main and mizentop sails, and a heavy sea lifting our first cutter off the davits, the next roll dropped her on to the muzzle of a gun and stove her in. At midnight it blew a violent gale with terrific squalls. The reef points of the foretop sail, which was close reefed, drew through the eye let holes, giving the sail the appearance of an enor mous comb. The next day the weather was, if pos sible, worse. The foretopgallant backstay was car ried away, leaving the:foretopgallantmast in much danger. Next two of the weather shrouds of the fore rigging was parted, the other two looking very doubtful, and great fears were entertained for the safety of the lower masts; however, tackles were got up and secured in the best manner we could. In the afternoon a more terrific squall than usual split the foretopsail to ribbons, necessitating the cutting away of the sail,as it endangered the yard and mast. Here Mr. Connop, the fourth officer, showed true courage and presence of mind. Getting out, axe in hand, to the very extremity of the lee yardarm, he remained until the whole entangled fragments and gear were cut away. Notwithstanding that the lee braces were slack and the yard jerking violently, one of the sailors, named Fox, was the first to follow and assist Mr. Connop. At a quarter past 6 the maintopgallantmast was carried away, taking with it the topmast, and the wreck was secured as soon as possible. At 8 o'clock it was blowing a tremen dous gale, which lasted all night ; on the following morning (Aug. 11), at about 4 o'clock, the foremast being considered in imminent danger, it was deemed advisable to cut away the foretopmast to save the lower mast, hut before this could be effected, and whilst bracing up the foreyard to allow the top mast to fall clear, the foremast went over the side about twelve feet from the deck, carrying away with it the main and mizen masts, the former about four feet and the latter close on from the deck, leaving us in a furious sea a perfect wreck, with our screw out of order, drifting away where the wind and sea willed, like a log. We imme diately began to clear the wreck, and in cutting away the gear lost four boats and two guns, which were so broken and entangled as to render it an im possibility to save them. At daylight we found that the mainyard and the stump of the mainmast were partly under the ship's bottom, and foul of the screw, bumping heavily, and threatening ever mo ment to knock a hole in the ship's bottom, and sink her, but in a short time, to our unspeakable relief, they broke away, and we soon had the satisfaction of seeing ourselves drifting elear of them. We were now lying perfectly helpless in the trough of a heavy sea, the vessel labouring fearfully, with all hard at work in rigging shears, &c., preparatory to rigging jurymasts. The screw was put in order on the 3d of August. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr. Randle, chief officer, now in com mand, for the admirable precautions taken to ensure success ; to Mr. Bray, chief engineer, and his sub ordinates, for the courageous and determined manner ' in which they performed their dangerous duty, and the way they worked at the screw in so heavy a sea ; and to all the officers, for their untiring exer tions and the spirited manner in which they carried out the orders. No sooner had this important work been so successfully finished than a hard gale set in with a more heavy sea than ever. Steam being up the engines were set going " dead slow," and after some time the ship was brought round and was soon on her right course for Simon's Bay. At midnight it was blowing a fresh gale, with a very high sea, the ship taking in much water. At eight p.m. on the sth it was blowing a hard gale, and we shipped a heavy sea fore and aft, there being at one time as much as six inches of water on the main deck. At three o'clock on the following morning (6th) we shipped a tremendous sea on the port bow, which washed away about 30 feet of the bulwarks, and the rush of water carried away with it sheep, pens, lamps, and side houses, filling the forecastle with water. At the moment of the sea striking the ship quivered so violently that the general impression among all that she was filling and going down. The water rushed from one end of the ship to the other, swamping the saloon and many of the cabins. On sounding the well it was found that no serious damage was done, although few ships could have sustained the tremendous shock with impunity. The next day being fine we succedcd in raising a t o pgallantmast for the jiirym ast, but on the Bth the wind blew harder than ever, with a very high sea running, caused the ship to pitch very heavy. At last on the 10th the wind began to moderate. On the 11th we sighted land, and early on the 12th we were to our unspeakable joy lying at anchor in Simon's Bay."

The ship and cargo are heavily insured. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE AT MILLWALL.--- On Saturday Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy-corone r for Middlesex, held an inquest at the Crown public-house, Millwall, Poplar, touching the death of Daniel Arthur Burns, aged twelve years, who lost his life under the fol lowing circumstances :—lt appeared by the evidence that the deceased and several boys, a few days since, were amusing themselves on the wharf of the Thames Plate -glass Company, which runs on one side of the Bow Creek, near the Orchard House, Minivan. There was a machine for raising a box by the means of ro p es. and the deceased, with another boy, got into it, while others pulled them up and let them down. Suddenly the boys let the machine go down rapidly, and those in the box fell into the canal. Two men in a beat rowed to the boy s, who were struggling for life, but before they could be re ached the deceased sank, but his co mpanion was saved. The d ra g s we re brought into requisi tion, but before deceased could be found life was extinct. The wharf was accessible when the workmen were at dinner. A surgeon having been exaccined as to the cause of death,eah several of the jury complained of the unprotected t the machine, which was worked by a windlass; and, after some remarks from the deputy -coroner, the jury returned the following special verdict —" That the deceased died from drowning .i.,,,, by falling from the p remises of the Thames plate ' glass Works Millwall, acciden tally, but the jury requested that i up when n o t i n use. " 'r he d e puty-coroner said that he n f uture the c o mpany sho uld kee p the machine locked p would write to the company MR, CLAY, ALP., ON 71IE AMERICAN TVAR. On Wednesday evening Mr. Clay, M.P. for Hull, addressed a meeting of the Reform Association, and in the course of a long and eloquent speech, - which was received with loud cheers, he made the follow ing observations upon the present war in America, and the desirableness of an immediate effort for the restoration of peace : " Very much of the anxiety, and some of the dis cussion of Parliament, was given to the American question. It could not well be otherwise. No dozen men, with thoughts more serious than Doncaster races or the last new opera, ever meet without an interchange of opinions as to this mighty calamity. It is difficult, indeed, to extract from it any topic of consolution ; yet England may look with just pride at the attitude and feeling of her people, from the commencement of the struggle to the present day. (Applause.) Not six men in the country will con tradict me when I say that, at the first news of the rupture of the American Union, our feeling, almost universal, was deep sorrow for the probable failure of a great experiment, and a sincere hope—if not a confident belief—that a speedy way might be found to avert an unnatural war, and preserve intact the work of Washington, whose name can scarcely be more venerated in the country of which he was the father, than it is by us. (Cheers.) We were not Northerners—we were not Southerners — we were anxiously interested in both by right of common humanity, of special interests, and of blood As time wore on, it was not perhaps in human na ture—not even in English nature—one of the most forgiving—to bear without some feeling of resent ment the systematic representation, the threats, and the undisguised animosity of the North. The weaker side, too, or that which appears so, has always a prima facie claim on an Englishman's sympathy — and it may be that not a few of us have for some time been affected by Southern proclivities. But our conduct as a nation has been unchanged. From first to last a strict impartiality. We have, it is true, ad mitted that which we could not deny—that there was a war—but, with this exception, we could not have observed a stricter neutrality if that war had been the paltry sedition which some would even yet call it. England has borne, and still bears, her heavy share of a calamity which is as wide as the world, with a dignified and sorrowful patience, to which the history of mankind can scarce furnish a parallel. We have made no offer of mediation. The great ma jority of those whose opinions are most worthy of respect, whether on this or the other side of the At lantic, believe that such offer would have been mis chievous. I make no doubt they have been right; and I am further convinced thatthe present Govern ment, or any other Government, will seize with avi dity any chance which may present itself of offering mediation, with a reasonable chance of success. The anxious question of the day is, will these horrors last, and I see that a statesman of the greatest ability, Mr. Disraeli, has lately indicated an opinion that they may last for years. Civil wars, he said, are al ways long wars, and he instanced the 30 years' war and the struggle between Athens and Lacedtemon. I venture, not without diffidence, to hold a contrary opinion. This war cannot last much longer. Every thing is against its long duration. The improvement in arts of destruction, which must make a long war an exchangeable term for wholesale extermina tion—the improved feeling of the civilised world, and the inextricable financial difficulties of the Northern States. Why, a friend of mine, writing to me from New York, tells me, not as a joke, but as a fact, that, on having his hair cut, and paying a dollar, he received in change two tickets to have his hair cut again—six postage stamps, and two tickets for drinks at any bar in New York. (Laughter.) How can a war so bloody, and a finance so absurb, be of any long duration ? In what way the end is to come I will not venture to predict. The Presi dent has the name of a good and sagacious man. If he merits this reputation, why should he not say to his countrymen, as any one of us would probably say, " I have striven to the utmost to preserve the Union which is so dear to us ; I have spared neither your treasure nor your blood ; I have failed, and cannot honestly say that I any longer expect suc cess. Further war is not for the Union, but for frontier. Let war cease.' It is my belief that if but a few men of mark in the States held this lan guage, the immense majority of their countrymen would hail it with delight. (Hear, hear.) ls there dishonour in such a course ? The duellist only would say so, while all Christian men would agree that the greatest honour was with that man who first said, Peace. Again I say this war cannot last. If there were no other reason, it is impossible that men, having our blood in their veins, can long sub mit to the loss of the liberty of the press, freedom of speech, and all that is dear to freemen." MB. .ROEBUCK'S GENTLEMEN. (From 'the New York Evening Post.) Mr. Roebuck, that extremely polished personage, told the people of England the other day that Southern rebels were gentlemen of the good old English sort, and that the men of the North were the refuse and scum of Europe. If Mr. Roebuck were only a little better bred man himself, he would not compromise his character for honour and veracity by echoing a stale boast which historians and readers have laughed at for nearly a century. Virginia was principally settled by convicts—by the cut-purses and strumpets of London—by men and women of whom the Moll Flanders and Colonel Jack of De Foe are excellent types. That State, as all the world knows, was for years a penal colony of Great Britain, which Massachusetts never was, because Massachusetts would never submit to the indignity. So, at a late period, John Wesley found Georgia so full of blackguards that, although he earnestly desired to remain and preach the gospel, he was forced to return to England. As a general rule, the emigrant scamps, who left their country for their country's good, went to the Southern colonies. The Puritans of New England, the sober and honest Dutch of New York, the Quakers of Pennsylvania, kept a sharp look - out for incoming vagabonds, and sent them away again as soon as possible. So much for history ; let us look at the present. If a man who systematically defrauds his labourers of their hire—who is coarse of speech and sensual in all his habits—who is at the best but half-educated — w on th e his own children—who is always ready upon the slightest provocation to assassinate his antagonist—who debauches all his maid-servants who happen to be good-looking-- who, being thoroughly idle, finds his amusement in drinking and duelling, in lynching and lascivious ness, in bar-room brawls and pot-house politics— who, in the isolation of his plantation, lives in a sort of semi-ignorance of all that is going on in the world —who pays his debts when ho pleases, and very often does not please to pay his debts—the petty, bullying, blustering autocrat of his' neigh bourhood —if this man be also a gentleman, then Mr. Roebuck is right—then the Russian lords, in the time of Peter the Great, were gentlemen, when they consumed their days in f logging serfs and their nights in swilling brandy. Noah Webster, in one of his now forgotten essays, describes a specimen of these Virginian gentlemen tersely and picturesquely. " I was once present," he says, "at an entertainment given by a young planter in Vir ' ginia who had much land and many slaves. He arose at two o'clock next morning, pawned his knee buckles and some other articles, gave his landlord a note for 60 dols., and rode off without paying h a s hairdresser." The re i s one o f Mr. Roebu ck's 4, gentlemen" for you! We suppose that Mr. Roebuck's ideal of a gentle man is to be found in the Squire Western of Field ing, the roaming, bullying, fox-hunting,beer-drink jug lord of a little domain. But even squire Wes tern, in the ve r y tempest, torr e nt, and wh i rlwind of his passion, would hardly have tied up one of his buxom English maids, would hardly have flogged her until she hung a bleeding and insensible object, with all womanhood crushed out of her for ever, The Squire Westerns were fond of field sports, but they hunted foxes a nd not men. They disposed of fat cattle at the fairs, but they did not offer in the market their mis erable fellow-creatures. They had too many illeg itimate children, but they did not sell them as merchandise. They sometimes bran dished a horsevihiP' but it was always over masou- line shoulders, and the humblest servant who pro voked their wrath was in no danger of being burned alive. No : the prototype of Mr. Roebuck's South ern gentleman can be found in Europe nowhere save in Russia, and now hardly even there, for the breed of Ivan Tourgueneffs, we are glad to say, is nearly extinct. Now, let us see who are Mr. Roebuck's black guards. They are the scoundrels who have founded in a single county more common schools than are maintained in the whole State of Virginia. They are the villains who have built more churches in a single city than stand in many a Southern State. They are the dolts who have public libraries in little towns, which outnumber all the books to be found in many a Southern capital. They are the rascals who fill up the great granaries of the West, and who build and man the immense commercial fleets of the East. They are the highly improper persons who pay their debts, aLd who, by rational and un restricted industry, have so increased the aggregate of the public wealth, while equalising its distribu tion, that, here and there, throughout this blighted country, considerable towns may be pointed out with out a pa uper—a condition of things which, we sup pose, Mr. Roebuck's English prejudices will per sude him is in the highest degree alarming. We waive the perfectly natural retort that if we have hore the " scum" of Europe, including Great Britain, it was Europe, including Great Britain, that by bad legis laton has engendered that " scum :" to which we might add the suggestion, that if so much of this scum has floated westward, there must be not a little of it left at the fountain head. We have been, indeed, enabled to afford an asylum to the victims of political systems as bad as they are antiquated; but for this reason shall we be told by Mr. Roe buck, whose taxes, if he pays any, we have thereby lightened, that we arenot gentlemen ? He is a gen tleman, we suppose. To an imputation like Mr. Roebuck's, if person ally addressed, most men of self-respect would scorn to reply. But when this coarse fellow, this under bred person—we use precise terms, for we wish to be precisely understood—when such a moral vul garian, in the face of all England, undertakes to slander a great people in the hour of their anxiety and embarrassment, ho proves, if he 'Noyes any thing, altogether too much, for he demonstrates to a nicety that he is not himself a gentleman ! His friends may plead his ignorance—but gentlemen are usually well informed ; his interests—but gentle men never suffer their interests to betray them into falsehood ; his desperate political fortunes—but gentlemen are not usually adventurers. We have shown that of the constitution of American society he knows nothing, or he wilfully falsifies ; what shall be said of the constitution of that Bri tish society which could send such a disreputable person to the House of Commons ? POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE.—Sept. 27. GREENWICH.—THE LATE ATTEMPT AT DOUBLE MURDER.—COMMITTAL OF THE AC CUSED.—Edward Cramphorn, labourer, of Rother hithe, was brought up for final examination before Mr. Traill, charged with stabbing Bridget Mary Hartnett and Alexander Hartnett, her brother. The facts as deposed to at previous examinations of the prisoner have already been given, the follow ing additional witnesses being now examined : Mr. Fred. Fisher, surgeon, said—On the night of the 26th August last, about half-past 11 o'clock, I was sent for to the police-station, and there saw the complainant, Bridget Mary Hartnett, lying on the stones of the yard, and supported on the knees of a man. She was apparently in a dying condi tion, arising from severe loss of blood. Upon exa mination I found she had received a punctured in the centre of the 4th and sth ribs. Besides this wound there was on the left arm an incised wound some two inches in length, and about half an inch in depth. Near this, on the same arm, was a lacerated wound. On the outer side of the right arm, and about three inches from the shoulder, was another incised wound, some four inches in length, and rather more than three inches in depth. At the time of this examination the hemorrhage had stopped, and she was suffering from severe exhaus tion and shock to the system. The wound on the chest was of a dangerous character, and in the first instance I thought the injuries were of a mortal nature. She was not out of danger for ten days afterwards, but she is now doing tolerably well. In my opinion all the wounds were inflicted by a sharp cutting instrument, and the knife, such as that now shown to me by the officer, I am of opi nion, would inflict such wounds. The wound on the chest was very near the region of the heart. Mr. Joseph Henderson, surgeon, said—On the night in question 1 was sent for to the police-sta tion, and there saw the injured man Alexander Hartnett. He was lying on the stones in the yard on his back, in a very exhausted condition, and bleeding copiously from several wounds. On exami nation 1 found he had a wound on the chest on the left side. It was a deep punctured wound, and entered the chest, dividing the intercostal vessels between the fourth and fifth ribs, and perforated the substance of the lung. This wound was of a most dangerous character. On the same side there was a transverse wound, incised, across the base of the thumb, and also on the right side there was a deep punctured wound passing into the chest, be tween the tenth and eleventh ribs. That was a dangerous wound, and was bleeding extensively. There was likewise a punctured wound on the right hip, extending to the bone. All these wounds might have been occasioned with the knife now produced. Mr. Traill inquired the probable ultimate effect of the injuries sustained. , Mr. Fisher replied that , although the young woman would recover, it would be some consider able time ; and Mr. Henderson gave it as his opi nion that the man would never again be capable of performing the same laborious work as he had hitherto performed. Police-constable Coombers, 187 R, said—About five minutes after eleven, on the night in question, I heard persons talking very loudly at the bottom of Church-street, Deptford, and on proceeding to the spot I saw the prisoner and the female complainant and her sister-in-law. The injured female said, "I wish you would take this man (meaning the pri soner) away from me." The two females then went away, and I left the p risoner standing htheaerrde.thle walked away a short d istance, and then same voices again, and on returning to the spot I me t the female Hartn ett, who said, " Oh, he has k stabbed me." I ran back, and saw the prisoner with a knife in his hand. I knocked him down and ► closed with him, and, with assistance, took the clasp knife now produced from him. It was shut, and there were marks of blood upon it. I took him to the station. He was very violent, and had been drinking. On the following day, after his exami nation before the magistrate, it was my duty to take him to Maidstone gaol, and while waiting at the railway station for that purpose he said, " I wish I had killed him, and then I should have been happy." The prisoner, who displayed Vie same indifference as on previous examinations, declined putting any questions, and he was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Mr. Fisher, addressing the magistrate, said he had been requested by the injured young woman to re turn her heartfelt thanks to his worship, and also to Mr. Boustred, the chief clerk, for their great kind ness and the assistance rendered to her during the whole time she had been confined to her bed at the station, suffering from the wound inflicted upon her. He (Mr. Fisher) had also to add that, but for his worship having consented to give up his private room to her use, her life must hav e been lost, as it was impossible she could have been removed with safety. Mr. Patte, relieving officer for Deptford, said he had inquired into the condition of the injured man, who from boyhood had always borne a good charac ter, and found that he had a wife and six children, and the b o ard of g uardians had allowed 4s. weekly towards their support. Mr. Traill said, so far as the very limited funds enabled him to do so, he had rendered what assist ance he could in providing necessaries and comforts for the young woman, her brother being under treatment at Guy's Hospital. From inquiries made, it appeared both parties were of respectable charac ter, the young woman, by her industry, supporting herself, and also contributing to her parents' main tenance, the unfortunate man's wife and six child ren being plunged into distress and poverty by the murderous intentions of the prisoner. During the whole of his experience ho had never met a me more deserving the sympathy of the charitable [ADVIIRTI SELENT.]—Holloway's Pills.—The Great Ne cessity.—One moment's reflection shows the absolute nee d of pure blood in the system; out of its components the whole frame is formed, maintained, and repaired.

Roupell has been thus far disposed of by his pleading guilty, and his being sentenced to penal servitude, there appears to be very little doubt that there wii.l still be a large amount of liti gation before the matter is finally disposed of, and as, in all probability, .Alr. Roupell will have to al. - pear on many future oc casious as a 'witness, it is ex petted that ho will rema in in Newgate for a cons-i-, ,2erable time, in order that he may be produced by habL'ast u p on any occasion. that his evidence may be cars that since his conviction he has r b e e q e u n ir just the same manner as ordinary uld be, under similar circumstances prisoners P. for Lam beth has, each day, his.

The chances, there fore, are that in the course of a few years Mr. Rou pell will be again a free man, and in his position it is not likely that he will consider :the condition of not returning to this country, where he has obtained such an unenviable notoriety, a great privation. Now that the prisoner stands forma.lly convicted and under sentence for the forgery of the will, by means of which he was enabled to make sway with the great bulk of his father's property, thore is no doubt that the proceedings that were instituted by the heir-at-law in the trial at Guildford, to recover possession of the Kingston estate, which was the subject of the deed of gift, will be continued, and that an endeavour will be made to regain posses sion of the whole of t he property, or at all events to induce some of the present holders to consent to a compromise. It appears, however, that this is not likely to be effected so easily ac was at first imagined It would seem that some portions of the property were sold by Roupell in compareively small amounts, under £5,000, and the holdero of those portions may, possibly, be ready to agree to some terms of compromise, rather than incur the expense of defending an action of ejectment, and pooibly l o sing the whole of the property they had pur chased. In a good many instances, however, it ap pears that very large sums of money have been ad vanced by insurance companies and other large corporations of the like kind upon portions of the property, and it is said that they are determined not to lose their money without a struggle, and that they intend to take the opinion of a Jury upon the question whether Mr. Roupell has spoken the truth in charging himself with forgery, or whether, after having squandered his inheritance, he has not resorted to this extraordinary scheme with a view to procure a restitution of the property to his family. The will, and deed of gift that were the subjects of the indictments against the prisoner at the Cen tral Criminal Court, have been ordered by Mr. Justice Byles to be retained in the custody of Mr. Avery, in order that they may be forthcoming on any future occasion if required..
