The town is rapidly filling, and by nightfall the notices which are displayed in many windows, of "lodgings to let," will doubtless be r emoved, and. travellers will find it difficult to obtain sleeping accommodation. Although a wide-spread belief exists in the success of Promised Land, it is evident that the St. Leger has lost none of its popu larity, and that it still excites, albeit in a less degree, the same interest and curiosity that have ever been associated with the race. The interest, perhaps, deepens with the in• creased favour bestowed on Promised Laud, and many per sons who recollect tho " disappointments" occasioned by the overthrow of Blink l3•onny, Rifleman, and others which held the same position in. the betting that, the favourite now occupies, still place a traditional faith in the field, and hope all things from the " glorious uncertainty of the turf." Doncaster, ever clean and trim, is as gay and as busy as crowded streets, bawling list sellers, and opposing bands of music can make it. The inhabitants have given their annual race visitors a right merry welcome; but a certain section of them have entered a solemn protest against this anniversary of St. Leger, and have issued a rebuke to pro fane pleasure seekers. Blinds of private houses are drawn down in order to shut out the sight of the revellers, and in the windows are displayed, in large letters, Scriptural quo tations. These demonstrations, however, do not seem to discourage the visitors. A storm which set in just prior to the sport more effectually lessened the attendance on the course, and prevented people from going to the races. Rain had fallen heavily during the early morning, but it ceased soon afterthe breakfast hour, and hopes of a fine day re vived ; but they were dispelled soon after ono o'clock, when the dark clouds which had been drifting over the sky gathered in deeper masses, and drenching rain fell. It was, however. of short duration, and the afternoon brightened. The Fitzwilliam Stakes, since it has reverted with a slight modification , of its conditions to its original form, has become quite popular. This year it obtained 17 nomi nations, and of these only three were withdrawn. The race was with the first two throughout, the favourite, Wild Rose, cutting only a sorry figure; Zuyder Zee made all his own running, and won by a neck. The owner of Un derhand, however, claimed the race, on the ground that Zuyder Zee should have carried 71b extra for winning the Chesterfield Cup at Goodwood. The case was heard after the second race, and the following decision was given : " An objection having been made to Zuyder Zee, on the ground that he did not carry 71b extra, on account of having won the Chesterfield Cup at Goodwood, " The stewards decide that, not having won 500 sove reigns, his penalty was properly only 41b, according to the conditions of the Fitzwilliam Stakes. (Signed) " FITZWILLIAM. " ZETLAND (for Lord Chesterfield). " Sept. 13, 1859." The conditions on which this decision is founded are as follows :—A winner of 200 soya in 1859 (matches excepted) to carry 41b, of 500 sovs 71b extra. The value of the Cup was not taken into consideration, only the surplus money, £450, which the owner of Zuyder Zee received with the Cup, was calculated. The Champagne Stakes, for whichthe success of Madame Eglantine was deemed a " certainty," lost much of its inte rest by the withdrawal of the Wizard and Thormanby, The result was a surprise, for Sir J. Hawley's pretty, frac tious filly was beaten, and King of Diamonds gained the stakes for Baron Rothschild. For the next event the Baron's colours were again triumphant, for Mentmore carried them first past the post for the Revival Plate. The Selling Race was remarkable for the dead heat which it produced. Twenty-two starters were announced for the Great York shire Handicap, but the accident which occurred to Cincin nati enabled Mr. Hibburd to muster only 21 at the post. Julia was made first favourite at the close ; but she was unfortunate in the race, and Paul justified the confidence of his backers who had adhered to him through good and evil report. _ _ The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 100 added, for two-yr-olds and upwards.

Zuy der Zee went away with the lead, with Underhand in attendance, and these two were left to finish the race to gether soon after entering the straight. Underhand failed to head Zuyder Zee, who won by a neck, five lengths sepa rating the second from the third, and two lengths the third from the fourth ; Clemanthe, Pan, and Scribbler were next, the last two were Lord Nelson and Senorita filly. The objection which was made to Zuyder Zee is ex plained in our introductory remarks. The Champagne Stakes of 50 soya each, h ft ; for two -yr olds ; colts, Bst 71b; fillies, Bst 51b. Winners extra.

At the fourth attempt they got away, Julia being knocked on to her head soon after the flag was dropped, and losing a plate in the collision. She was, however, quickly reco vered. Gracchus showed the way at a good pace, with Souvenir, Newstead, Beethoven, The Squire, Paul, Nucleus, and several others clustering well together in their wake, and King-at-Arms bringing up the rear. They reached the Woods- without material alteration, when some of the foremost horses gradually compounded, and on reach ing the Red House The Squire went up to Gracchus, Beethoven and Paul being next, and Mutineer, who had lost start, began to make up his ground. On entering the straight Beethoven took up the running, and Gracchus dropped back. At the distance Paul came °tit, closely fol lowed by Beethoven, Nucleus, and Defender, these four being left to finish the race. Paul, however, held his own to the end, and won by two lengths, the second beating the third by a length, a head only dividing the third and fourth. The Squire and Gracchus were next, side by side. The others straggling in were preceded by Mutineer, Julia, Dispute, and Newcastle. The Glasgow Stakes of 30 soya each, 20 ft, for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 61b each. Red House in.

ROBERTS (OF LONDON). —The encounter between these men took place yesterday, in the ." home cir cu it , " th e ring being formed by Fred. Oliver, m the absence of the veteran com missary, on a well-known spot. The men were not restricte d to weight, but in this Roberts had all the advantage of his antagonist. Smith, who is better known by the sobriquet of " the doctor," had for seconds Bill Gillam, of Brighton, and Dan Collins, while young Hill and Jack Callaghan did the requisite for Roberts, who was the non-favourite in the betting. At 10 minutes past one the men were - left to begin the contest, which may be summed up in very brief terms. In the whole 18 rounds were fought, occupying 35 minutes, when, unfortunately, just as Roberts was winding up, the police made their appearance. The referee at once made selection of ground, where for the second time the ring was formed, when, as Roberts did not think proper to again enter the list, notwithstandipg he had been warned of the consequences by the referee, the battl e was a warded to punishment. Smith, who, on leaving the ring, di sp l aye d little or no GLASGOW CELTIC.—The first general meeting for the formation of this corps was held on Friday in the Lower Trades' Hall, which was pretty well filled by members of the Glasgow Celtic Society. Col. Campbell, of Skipness, presi dent of the society, occupied the chair. A report was read from the provisional committee, which had met several times to make the necessary arrangements for the proposed corps. Bailie M'Gregor then moved a resolution, which was as follows :—" Seeing that upwards of fifty gen tlemen had signified their intention to join a rifle company, it is the opinion of the present meeting that the company be formed under the auspices of the Glasgow Celtic Society, and that its designation be the Glasgow Celtic Rifle Com pany.' " Bailie M'Gregor said that the society would have been among the first to form a rifle corps had not their attention been engrossed by the preparation for the Highland Games, and because they could not have given the matter the attention it deserved. He affirmed that the Highlanders were as loyal subjects as any her Majesty possessed, and had do doubt that if they were called to do active duty they would not be behind any of their fellow-countrymen. He approved of rifle corps, inas much as, judging from the late continental wars, our country was not free from danger, and because they might be trained to be an efficient defence of our islands, and allow the re gular soldiers to go and defend any important interests elsewhere. This motion was seconded by Mr. Brown, and carried with acclamation. Other minor arrangements occupied the meeting till the close. AUSTRALIA. THE COLONY OF VICTORIA. • The following is the letter of the Times' Mel- _ bourne correspondent : " MELBOURNE, JULY 16. "The mailship Salsette reached Kangaroo Island early on the morning of Tuesday, the sth inst , and a few hours after the newsboys were proclaiming the war' about the streets of Melbourne. The mail in bulk reached Hudson's Bay on the 7th, only two days after its time—a wonderful instance of punc tuality, according to our chastened notions—for like the crowd' in Goethe's Faust," TVir sind am bes ten nicht gewohnt.' We have not been accustomed to the best at the hands of our former contractors. We learn by the mail that the Indian line of elec tric telegraph is now completed to Aden. This is a matter of some importance to us. The mailship for Australia leaves Aden on the 2d day of the month next after its departure from England, and ought to arrive at Kangaroo Island on the 3d ; in deed, the time-table first:published sets it down on the Ist of each month. T Thus we may calculate on receiving and sending news between Melbourne and London only 31 and 32 days old. This is the actual condition of our means of communication. Our prospects in that behalf demand a few words more. " A gentleman named Gisborne arrived by the last mail empowered to treat with the several Aus. tralian Governments for the establishment of telegraphic communication between Australia and London. He presents himself with the great ad vantage of a specific and apparently well-considered plan. He shows that the line is now complete to Aden ; that from Aden to the mouth or mouths of the Indus (Kurrachee)-the-line is contracted for, and the cable ready for laying down in December next. This will complete the line to Calcutta—or rather to Rangoon—for the telegraph has been for some time at work between the two last-named places. From Rangoon (proceeding south) the Indian Government have already engaged to com plete the line down the west side of the Malay Pe ninsula, by Tenasserim and Penang, to Singapore, and thence by Banca Island to Batavia. The Dutch Government has alrrady a line at work along the whole length of Java - to its eastern end, Cape Sedano, to which point electric communication may be said to be provided for ; what follows rests at present merely in proposal, and it pursues very nearly the track I sketched out in one of my letters written about two years ago. It is proposed to proceed from the east end of Java, in an easterly course, to Copang, in the island of Timor, thence to Port - t ssington, thence to Cape York, thence down the Australian coast to Cleveland Bay, and thence further to Moreton Bay. There the line will terminate, and very probably so, for there is no doubt that long before the above grand scheme can be carried out the New South Wales and Moreton Bay Governments will have esta- blished intercolonial communication. The whole distance from Java to Moreton Bay is calculated at 3,024 miles, and the estimated cost, which seems based on reliable data, is £720,000, or to be on the ,safe side, £750,000. It is proposed either that the Australian Government should construct this line, e Lch Government contributing according to the proportions fixed under the mail contract, or that the several Governments agree to guarantee 6 per cent. profit or interest on the capi tal required. As the proportion of Victoria is 58 per cent. of the whole postal service, our contribu tion would amount to £435,000, or if the guarantee system be adopted to £26,100 a year. Nothing more has transpired at present, nor am I aware which of the two modes of contribution, or whether any mode, is likely to be adopted, but my own im pression is that the war and the necessity for pro viding for ' our defences' will absorb every other consideration for the present. " During the Russian war very little anxiety was felt for the safety of this colony. By the naval operations c f England in the Baltic and the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff Australia was effectually protected. Russia had no naval force at a distance, and was not in a condition to detach any ships for distant conquest or plunder. Though her action was'aggressive so far as Turkey was concerned, she was effectually reduced to the defensive by the allied forces. But should England in this war be forced from her neutrality and have France for her enemy—of which I do not as yet see any proba bility—our position will be one of extreme peril, and the sinews of war, upon which England de• pends, may be crippled through us. On an average we have always about £2,500,000 or £3,000,000 of gold afloat, and our homeward , bound ships will be even more attractive objects of attack than the Spanish galloons were of old. This large amount of treasure, when once afloat, is either directly or indirectly at the risk of the English capitalists. It is in the first instance the property of the banks here, and of these the two largest shippers, the Union Bank and the Bank of Aus tralasia, have an English proprietary, and any loss by capture would injure a very large body of English shareholders; but all the banks, whether English or colonial, effect their insurances with the London companies, and will, no doubt, elect to pay the war premium rather than insure with the war ranty.of free of capture.' It is therefore England that is especially interested in the protection of these rich argosies at the two points of danger— namely, on leaving the Australian coast, and on approaching the coast of Europe. In the wide ocean the danger is comparatively trifling." For protection at sea the colony is not in a condition to provide—that seems to be the proper function of the imperial navy. As for our own shores we ought mainly to depend on ourselves, with such aid as England can afford. " The other danger to which we are open is from the visit of the enemy's cruisers. At present it would not be difficult for a few ships of strong armament to enter Port Phillip, and send a polite message on shore with a demand for all the loose cash which the banks happened to have about them, and the penalty of being shelled would compel com pliance. The French are a very polite nation, and would rob , us as civilly as Paul Clifford robbed Lord Mauleverer—with this difference, that the laws of war would justify them. In July, 1858, the Governor in Council issued a commission directed to 14 gen tlemen, to inquire into the defences of the colony. Six of the commissioners were military officers of experience, two were naval officers, and the other six were members of the two houses of the Legisla ture. They recommended that Hobson's Bay should be defended by batteries on shore, and by a steam floating battery, and they went into details as to the weight of metal, structure, &c. The steam floating battery, they suggested, should be supplied by the English Government, as the shipping in the bay belongs chiefly to English shipowners. They also recommended the importation of 6,000 improved rifles, and of a complete 9-pounder field battery. They also sketched out a plan for the organization of a militia. This report was made in December, but had in part been communicated to the Govern ment earlier, so that when the Estimates were be fore the House in October a vote was taken in ad dition to the ordinary votes for a' and Volunteer force' of £25,000, and a portion of the arms were forthwith ordered. Further portions will no doubt now be ordered, and it is anderstood that a Militia Bill will be introduced as soon as the Legislature meets. As for the plan which is most relied on by non-military persons—that of fortifying the Heads,—the engineering and naval authorities do not much rely rely on it, or at least postpone it in point of importance to the immediate necessity of 'defending Hobson's Bay. The Heads would soon be passed at 2,000 yards from the batteries, whereas if Hobson's Bay were well defended a hostile force would run into the lion's jaws. As for the landing of any consider able force for permanent operations on shore, that is not very likely, and an expedition to capture the colony is less likely than attempts to levy large con tributions from our banks and merchants and to pick up our goldships. Proclamations have been issued this morning for immediately organising 16 additional companies of volunteers ; the four com panies of the 40th Regiment, now 400 men, are to be augmented by local enlistment to 700. Both these bodies will be increased should the intelligence by the next or any subsequent mail render it neces sary. A further supply of arms is to be sent for, and generally it is understood that such measures will be adopted as the military authorities may deem necessary for the protection of the port and its trade from sudden attack. Should England preserve her neutrality the serious attention of the Legislature will nevertheless be directed to the necessity of putting the port in a condition to be effectually defended against a hostile armament. Naturally, the mere suggestion of the possibility of a war in which England may be involved has created for the moment a sort of panic; but it is subsiding into a reasonable determination to make such pre- parations as will prevent or defeat a surprise. The papers are filled with all sorts of suggestions, many impracticable, many absurd, a few with an eye to trade, and fewer still of a useful nature. In the meantime the Board is composed of men well versed in the subject, and it is understood P* 4 D "). STAMPED, . that the Government will act upon their sug gestions. This seems to me to be certain- 7 that Steps will be taken, war or no 'war, to put the harbouririto a state of complete defence —rapidly .if the probability of war continces, more leisurely if peace be assured. With This view, and in order to husband the resources 'of the colony, I understand that the Government have finally determined to reject for the present the proposal respecting telegraphic communication with tngland . mentioned above. The proposal how ever has had this good effect—that we know. what remain to be done and the cost of doing it. " The abundant fall of rain during the last two months has had a very marked and beneficial effect on the supply of gold by the escorts. Up to the 3d of June the weekly returns generally showed a de ficiency as compared with the corresponding periods of 1858. Since the 3d of June the excess has been invariably in favour of 1859, the weekly excess being as follows :7- " Week ending June 1Q .. _3,045 ounces 24 .. July 1.. 8 Total • 18,410 „ • 8,657 ~ ▪ 7,488 „ • 7,840 , .. 40,440 ounces. " The quarter's supply is, for 1859, 592,194 oz., against 591,161 oz. in 1858. The deficiency on the first six months is 58,301 oz., which has since been reduced to under 43,000. _ _ _ "The shipmentS for the first six months of 1859, were 1,197,062 oz., against 1,277,568 oz. in 1858, the difference, being 8Q,506 oz. But this deficiency is also in course of reduction, thongh I am unable tb give the exact figures. , Quartz-crushing is in creasing, and the accounts are generally of a fa vourable nature. .At Reedy Creek, near Kilmore, some large quantity of quartz has realised 16 oz. 6 dwt. 3 gr. on the average' to the ton. The £lO shares of one company have been sold at £l6O. Some very rich reefs have been dis covered accidentally, it is said, at Pleasant Creek. It is to this branch of gold mining that the miners now look for future supplies. Large capital and extensive machinery, with combined labour ' are now being applied, and th e a tt en ti on o f the Legis loture has been, and will continue to be, directed to measures for facilitating this branch of mining enterprise. We still hear occasionally of the dis cbvery of rich alluvial diggings, but I do not think that branch of industry is likely to extend. It is Pow either stationary or on the decline. On the whole, I have no doubt that the supply will con tinue at about £10,000,000 per annum. I do not think it will increase materially, as other branches of industry are eagerly embraced. Agriculture especially is extending, and is likely to increase from year to year. There has been a good deal of fluctuation in the price of gold during the month, owing to the alteration of the exchanges and the Possibility of war freights and war insurances. Ballarat gold, which, as the purest, generally leads the rest, is no v 775. 6d. to 78s. 6d., while the prices op other places range from 675. to 78s.

NEW SOUTH WALES. (Front the Sydney Morning Herald of July 13.) The last mail brought out a commission to Capt. 'Loring of her Majesty's ship Iris, as Commodore of the Second Class, in which capacity he now com mands on the Australian station. Two other, vessels of war are shortly to be added to the force on that station, which will thus become very re spectable in point of strength. The Cordelia has left, with Sir William Denison on board, for Nor folk Island, and it is understood that in the course of her trip she will look in at Vanicolo and inquire after the murderers of Captain Prout of the Maid of Australia, and his men. The principal portion of the railway works now in progress in this colony is that undertaken by the agent for Messrs. Peto, Brassy. and Betts, the full particulars of which we have given in former sum maries. The entire length contracted for by that firm is about 45 miles, consisting of continuations on the Southern, Western, and Northern lines. A commencement was made on the Southern line im mediately on the completion of the contract, two months ago. The portion between Campbelltown and Menangle accordingly begins to exhibit con siderable progress in the cuttings and embank ments. The various processes connected with rail way construction are in full operation. Bricks aro being made for a long viaduct which will carry the railway over the Menangle river. In the course of two or three months, however, a substantial por tion will he completed, and it is likely that the Great Southern Railway will be open for traffic as far as Menangle in the early part of next year. The Western extension from Blacktown to Pen rith, is also in progress, the first sod having been turned on the 6th inst. About 250 men are em ployed, scattered about different parts of the line. Shops have been put up and all the requisite mate rials have been brought to the gr.)und, so that the works can now be pushed on without delay. The work on this portiop is also tolerably heavy ; there are to be three large wooden viaducts, besides se veral culverts and under.bridges. Messrs. Peto and Co. have not yet commenced preparations on their portion of the Northern line, from Lochinvar to Singleton. There are two years before them for the completion of their contract, and, considering the speed at which English con tractors are accustomed to makB railways, the delay of a month or two on starting is of no consequence. The line between Paramatta and Blacktown, carried on by Mr. Gibbons, is in a very forward state. Trial surveys are being proceeded with in the Grose valley for the best direction for the proposed continuation of the Great Western line to Bathurst. The range known as the Blue Mountains offers very serious impediments to the extension of a railway westward, and the work of finding a practicable line for its construction is consequently one of great labour and difficulty. Mr. Rhodes is pursu ing with great industry and good management his important mission. The Customs revenue collected at the port of Sydney during the months of June amounted to £45,356 18s. 7d. During the correspondin g month s of 1858 the receipts were £43,931 16s. 3d. There is therefore an increase o f £1 , 42 5 2s. 4d., or about 3 per cent, on the past month. For the first six months of 1858 the amount of duties received was £260,878 Bs. 2d. During the same period of the present year the receipts have amounted to £308,030 10s. 2d., which is an increase of £ 38,152 2s. or nearly 14 per cent. in favour of the present year. Some fine specimens of gold, discovered at Coro- PORTLAND, SEPT. 13. Of the this remaining firemen injured by the explosion, and now in the Infirmary at Portland, two; I am glad to say, are progressing favourably. The third man, Tait, still continues in a most pre carious condition, and suffers so severely that it is 'now more than doubtful if he can survive. He is dreadfully scalded about the face, breast, stomach, and arms, at4unfavourable symptoms are showing themselves,. which make his medical attendants fear that another will yet be-added to the list of fatal casualties which have already resulted from this lamentable accident. Including the poor ~fe]~ow who in his agony jumped, overboard, six have perished, _arid the'more the matter is inquired 'into the more marvellbils' it appears that the loSs of life has not been tenfold greater. The accident was an extraordinary one, both from its cause a n d it s seve rity, but it is a still More extraordinary accident, if 1 may use such a term, that the crising of the second funnel did not explode almost immediately afterwards. The engineers who have inspected the rent masses of iron, and the tremendous evi dences which yet remain of the force of the ex plosion, come to different conclusion.; as to the amount of steatti preiSure which occasioned it. Some literally'give 'it' AS high as I,ooolb. to the square inch; but - this appears almost incredible. The majority • generally estimate it as having been between 4001 b. and 5001 b., an amount of pressure • which, at4-far.iis - can be calculated, has never yet been got by steam. The highest pressure boilers for locomotives are only made to withstand about 1501 b. to the inch. Even for experimental purposes a pressure of 5001 b. or 6001 b. steam has never yet been generated. James Watt, in his earliest experiments on evaporation, made some very small globular boilers, au which it was said a pressure of 4001 b. was eventually got, but any thing approaching. to 5001 b. or 6001 b. has. never. been so much as heard of among engincers till the present most unfortunate occurrence. Gunpowder when exploded expands 800 times its bulk, and when steam is' superheated to an intense degree the water becomes utterly decomposed into its con- stituent gases, oxygen and hydrogen, which, when brought into contact with any. redhot surface, re combine with the most fearful explosion. This was exactly what took • place on board the Great Eastern, and the bl'ow up in its force was pre cisely similar to what would have taken place had the space between - the inner and outer casing of the funnel been filled with gunpowder instead of steam. From the evidence which has been given at the inquest, an d f rom 4 n in u t e inquiries and observations inade at the scene of the accident; the circumstances tp w hr h ee i t f c tuy h n nlweedel cases, a s o a se t es h : e rat occurrence t h a a r pt e hp nee them r w ts ht s he u apbtpo boilers,, lo s e e or s d n t as o be ftuepr. leaving Deptford the donkey engines for keeping plied with water showed most decided symptoms of infirmity, which -as the vessel progressed on her voyage increased .to such an extent that some of them were rendered altogether, useless, and the others were only kept feebly working by the con stant attention of some 'of the assistant engineers,. Thus from the first there was , a difficulty in keep ing the boilers properly supplied with water, which was greatly increased by the fact that the supply had first to be forced up a considerable height to fill the funnelcasing. This, it is supposed, induced those in charge to feed the boilers direct from the donkey engine:,, withoutpassing the water through the funnel case. In shutting off the-com munication between the casing and the boilers, the engineers had, every.reason to believe they were performing a perfectly harmless operation, for it was well known there was an escape pipe to carry off any steam which might be generated. It was, however, afterwards ascertained that this pipe had, previous to the departure of the vessel from Dept ford, been used for' testing the casing by hydraulic pressure. ,For this purpose a brass cock had been fitted to the end of it, and this by some shocking inadvertence 'was never taken away, and, what is worse, it .viras.left turned off. Consquently, when the communication between the bottom of the cas- ino• ° and the boiler was interrupted the water left in the funnel was rapidly oonverted into steam, and the whole apparatus became a monstrous vertical boiler without a safety valve or any vent whatever. That all the water left in the casing was converted into vapour long before the explosion took place is quite certain, and it was evidently not till the con fined steam had gone on expanding and probably decomposing for some hours that the easing at last , gave way with the awful effect I have endeavoured I to describe. The jury have carefully inspected the scene of the disaster, and the debris is now in course of being cleared away, with th e v ie w t o th e necessar y re p a i rs being commenced at once. How long these repairs will take it is at present quite impossible to say. To restore the ironwork which has been found to need reconstruction will occupy from three weeks to a. month, but the question is how far the forward pair of main boilers, from which the funnel was blown, and which acted as a base to the whole explosive force, have been injured. Both will, in the course of to-morrow,,be subjected to a strict scrutiny, and if any injury has been . sustained, their repair will be a work of time and difficulty. But whatever may be the delay or cost, the directors have most pro perly determined that all shall be repaired in the strongest and most perfect manner, and the boilers tested with the hydraulic press before again pro ceeding to sea. The fragments which are being hauled up from the stokehole each minute afford fresh evidence of the uncertain, fearful nature of the explosion. In an apparently nninjured portion of the outer casing a round hole is blown out, through which a man could put his head. Yet there is no flaw in the iron, nor is any other portion of this segment hurt at all. I have mentioned the appa rently extraordinary fact that two of the largest mirrors in the grand saloon fixed on each side were left unhurt, when glasses at four times the distance from the funnel were pulverised. The reason is now explained by the fact of these two mirrors having been the only ones fixed in the iron bulk heads. A greater proof could not be given of the immense strength of the ship than this, Had the iron bulkheads vibrated in the least these glasses must have gone to fragments like the rest, but the manner in which they were stayed across kept them rigid even under the awful concussion of the blow up. Mr. William Brisco, the engineer on duty in the stokehole at the time, and who was burnt about the hands, is progressing most favourably , a nd in a few more days will be quite convalescent. He states that the first effect of the explosion was to blow open the furnace doors, smashing some to pieces, and sending out a rush of scorching air. The stokers instantly ran up the ladder to the lower deck gangway'. Mr. Brisco raw the dreadful dan ger of such a course, and called on the men to keep below, while he threw himself on his face, which he kept covered with his hands. In this position he remained for three or four minutes, till he could hear that the rush of steam on the gangway above had almost ceased. The heat in the stokehole was then something fearful and dangerous to life, so he rushed from it up the ladder as he best could. Above the steps, on a level with the lower deck, he found the wretched men who had so imprudently fled there, standing or sitting, and all looking horror-struck at the appearance of their hands, from which the flesh was boiled off, for they had rushed into the very spot where the steam was hottest. None of these poor fellows seemed to be aware that the scalds which they had sustained about the rest of their body were not only ten times more dangerous, but infinitely more severe. Mr. Brisco, however, notwithstand ing that the flesh was burnt off the backs of both his hands, remained with the sufferers till all were removed and had their wounds dressed. Mr. Prowse, the chief officer, was fore most in rendering assistance to rescue all who were injured d that a t on o f powder was i n t h e shiipt aw a below. It the a : t ime e of the explosion, and stowed away somewhere near th e scene of the disaster. Not an ounce of gunpowder has ever been on board the vessel. Crowds of visitors come daily to inspect her, but none are allowed to go where the accident occurred. S uc h i s th e morbid curiosity on this subject that almost any amount might daily be re alised by the company throwing this unlucky por tion of the Great Eastern open to public inspection. At present, the decks are almost thronged with sight-seers, gazing with awe upon the broken funnels and heaps of shattered fittings which have been brought up. 110710fLognodl London atis 25.12}is about E 1 d o i F s G a n o ci L t.e— shor t Th e q ex u e o h t an at g io e per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of 17s. 101 d. per ounco for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th pm• cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices fr om Hamburg the price of gold is 4221 per mark, and the Aloft exchange on London is 13 . 4 k per £1 sterling.

'I (lie course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent., which, when con Tared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and cliff* crence of inte rest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importa tion of gold from the United States.
