It is most important that the country should keep . _ in mind whom they really propose to educate by Government aid. Porgetfnlness of this single point lies at the root of most of the clamour against the strictly educational part of the new code. If it were proposed to teach at the expense of the State the children of even the extreme lowest section of the tniddle class, such ae inferior clerks, petty shop keepers, or even, as Loid GRANVILLE said, the children of Lord LYTTELTON'S head groom and head gardener, the system must be in many re spects different from that which is necessary for the benefit of the classes below them. If the inquiries of the Royal Commissioners, to whom the country is under such deep obligation, prove anything, they prove that the children of those whom we mean when we speak of " the working classes," nearly always leave school be tween the ages of ten and eleven. Observation, ndeed, might have taught us this before. A con sideration of the necessities of parents of such children might have shown it. However, no one now pretends to deny the fact. Now, as this is the only class to whose education the tax-payers of the country can with' any decency be asked to contribute, the nature of the education given, the qualifications of the school masters, indeed all the arrangements of the school are conditioned by the unalterable fact, that what is taught must be taught to children below eleven years of age. Such chil dren may be taught school drill, and cleanly and morai—isaisite, as far LW their ago permits; and no one proposes, any more than the Lord Bishop of OXFORD in the twenty-five schools . of his diocese, that these things should be neglected. They may also be taught, below that age, a good deal of religious knowledge, in the biographical Scripture form especially, with ease and advantage. Doc trinal catechisms are sheer nonsense to children, but there are not many mothers, who attend at all personally to the teaching of their younger children, who do not make them acquainted in very early Tears, with the inimitable stories of sacred history; no teacher of a school for young children could overlook these. To drill the children in the chronological comparison of the Kings of Israel and Judah, and to implant in their minds the morals of SAUL'S and SAMUEL'S, DANIEL'S and SOLOMON'S lives, are very different things. The former is worse than worthless to children, for it occupies the time appropriate to more natural teaching. But even this last, the only valuable kind of Biblical teaching for young children, is tenfold more valuable to the child, if he can read the narratives for himself so easily, that he is never in danger of losing the And hewer s to read themagain at any time of his life. just what the Royal Commission wish ; just what the Government has hone s tly en d eavoure d to effect ; and yet, strange to say, it is just what rnE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1862. hosts of clergymen, and some bishops,whose organs of speech are much more efficient than their organs of thought, have denounced as irreligious in its ' tendency ! It is the very reverse. They speak of reading as a mechanical art. If it be, it is the most mighty art of intellectual mechanics—the one art but for which no literary records of the past, not even the Bible itself, would have come into existence—but for which all history would have been a blank —and master of which art nothing but the limitation of the human facul ties prevents a man from mastering all that his fellow men have ever known. The spirit of these remarks applies equally to writing and elemen tary arithmetic. Combined with the art of reading without effort—for that is the point—so reading, that there will never be any disinclination on account of the labour, to read in after life—combined with such reading, ease in writing and arithmetic, opens everything to the man who possesses them. He may become a Divine and a Bishop, and be able to abuse elementary instruction as mechanical in the House of Peers; or he may become a lawyer and a Chancellor, and pointing back to the three things I required at the day school examination, after the example of the former blacksmith, may inscribe reading, writing, and arithmetic on the coat of arms on his carriage, with the motto inclosing them—" By these I got you." Lord LYTTELTON, much to his credit, has abjured the partisan in his resolutions. He thinks a few details may be amended, but he accepts honourably the main principle of paying for results. His second and third resolutions fully admit that. The details to which he adverts are hardly proper subjects of discussion, we should think, in either House of Parliament. The legislature might as well attend to the minutiae of regimental clothing, or the details of mannfaeturing en ARMSTRONG gun. Let men, whose hearts are in the great objecf 'of getting all the children, for whose education we pay, taught the three elements, and they will find out the most efficient mode of attaining this end better than all the thousand and more members of our legislature' wrangling for nights together over what they so imperfectly understand. There is one point which we hope the good sense of both houses will distinctly affirm, we mean the inadmissibility of the cry of vested interests. Par liament has been forced by the lawyers to concede so much of this kind to them, that law reform is obstructed beyond conception by this fact alone. But if whatever Government attempts, persons who have connected themselves with the undertaking are to claim continuance of the system, or compensation, on the plea of vested interest, it will come to this, that the Government will be able to attempt nothing in the least degree tentative and experimental, for fear of bringing some day upon themselves the sel fish cry of " vested interests." In the present case, the report of the commissioners, is decidedly, that no such claim exists. Few even of the memorials have ventured to assert such a claim. Alterations have been made from time to time, affecting the position of the schoolmasters more or less, even by Sir J. K. SHIITTLEWORTH himself, and the whole system has always been avowed to be one simply notedte e o n n t e at w i v a h e n edn a n rt e d h ceo e rr x de p se u e d m s to e h n f e t t a hr l ee . s e u x l t Tp s eh o rei f m i t t ei Din are,te haveh aas be e now y l great improvement in the attainments of the masters, but a corresponding neglect on their part of those elements of knowledge, which alone are within the reach of the vast majority of the pupils; while a few children in each decent school have been advanced in higher knowledge at the expense of the many. In fact the system has made the masters too ambitious to the injury of throe-fourths of the children. The Government has adopted therefore the obviously right course. It does not discourage high attain ments in master or inppjl. It . _ does, however, in,. sist that the many,—fon whom it pays, shall learn ' something worth paying for. We trust we may accept Lord LYTTELTON'S candour, as a good omen that Mr. WALPOLE and the House of Commons will follow the example of the House of Lords. It is said that Englishmen are always grumbling, and it would seem at present as if they had not enough to find fault with. Not content with making changed where chango is an improvement, our authorities must needs begin alterations that ,are of very doubtful benefit. We wish Mr. COWPER would bear in mind the retort of a Minister to .Queen ANNE when she asked what it would cost to enclose the three public parks. " Three crowns," was the quiet answer. We do not suppose that the President of the Board of Works will have to pay a price proportionate for his constant inter meddling with the most beautiful park of the me- tropolis, but we wish he would bear in mind the interest taken by the public in the few green spots of our busy Babylon. The vote for the objection able temporary road across Kensington-gardens was agreed to on Thursday night, in spite of a small but determined opposition. Mr. COWPER observed in defence of his scheme that it had the merit of not interfering with any existing roads or boundaries, or with the grass of the park. Now, a gentleman occupying the position of President of the Board of Works should be acquainted with the principles of drainage and of horticulture, and he might know that cutting a deep trench through a dry soil will draw all the moisture from the sur face, destroy the trees in the immediate vicinity, and seriously injure those in the neighbourhood. Why should these beautiful gardens be thus trifled with for such official vagaries. It is somewhat singular that among the many suggestions of hon. members a very simple solution of the difficulty has not been brought prominently forward. About a quarter of a mile beyond the Kensing ton turnpike there is a broad carriage road, leading direct to the Bayswater and Notting hill road, admirably adapted for all pur poses of general traffic between the two loca lities. Why not solve the problem by throwing this road open to the public during the Exhibition season ? It is at present a private passage only, but surely any interests concerned in maintaining its seclusion might be suspended for the time, and when the increased traffic had ceased it would be closed, as before, to the general public. Why should not the authorities avail themselves of a road ready made to their hand, thereby avoiding the expense, delay, and, above all, the Vandalism in volved in the construction of a new one Tem porary constructions are unsatisfactory things, and at best seem a waste of capital and labour. There is no necessity, we presume, why the inhabitants of Bayswater and Notting-hill should be brought in such a very exact line to the doors of the Exhi bition. We suppose London will not be traversed with new streets, leading by the shortest possible routes to the point of attraction, and a little diver gence may be borne with by persons in vehicles going on an errand of pleasure, for the sake of preserving their sylvan retreats unmolested. As Lord ELCIIO justly observed, it is a pity to spoil the few pretty things we have in London, and he objected " to a gentleman who bad turned out so remarkable an architect as Mr. FowKE improving upon . the brid ge upon the Serpentine, as proposed by Sir i I. PETO." 111 r. COWPER has at least not entered into this project ; but it seems he cannot l e ave well alone, and the public will have to thank him for workmen, noise, dust, and traffic through one of the cool green spots that refresh a Lon doner's eyes in spring -time. Just when it should look its pleasantest and brightest, comes the for midable President spying out for excuses for bring ing in the Goths and Vandals to frighten the Hamadryads from their leafy homes and do a great deal more mischief than he will find it easy to undo. TORTURING CATS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIII,—I have read, with feelings of the deepest indignation, the horrible details of torturing a cat, reported in your impression of this evening. A few days ago I heard of another case of a very similar de scription, where-a ruffian was convicted of having skinned a dog alive, Now, sir, I appeal,through your columns, to those who have influence in matters of legislation, to set about devising some means of punishing such :infernal barbarity with greater severity than is meted out to it under the existing state of the law affecting this class of offences. While our soldiers and sailors are liable to undergo severe corporal punishment for comparatively trivial breaches of discipline, could not a little whip cord be spared for miscreants who put their fellow creatures to the most exquisite torture simply to gratify their own unbridled and brutal lust of cruelty ? May we soon see the ' day when out rages of this description shall invoke the strong arm of the law, with whip in hand, "to "lash the rascal naked through" the town or village which' may be the scene of his inhuman freaks ! I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN ADVOCATE OF HUMANITY. United University Club, March 7tb, 1862. THE NEIV CUNARD STEAMED SCOTIA, The new steamship Scotia, built under special survey expressly for the British and North Ameri can Royal Mail service, arrived in Liverpool from the Clyde, where she was built, on Thursday after noon, having made the run from the Cloch Light house on the Clyde to the Bell Buoy at the mouth of the Mersey in 12 hours 4 minutes. The machi nery worked admirably, and, in proof that the vessel is perfectly manageable, she was easily moved ' round in the Mersey within her own length. A per son who was on board during the trip to Liverpool states that she is "as stif f as a church." The trial trip on Wednesday before the Scotia left the Clyde for Liverpool was highly satisfactory, notwith standing the unpropitious state of the weather. The distances were performed under the following con ditions :—Against a strong flood tide, an d a l so against a double-reefed topsail breeze of wind, from the Cloch to Cumbrae Light in 59 minutes; after passing the Little Cumbrae, the Scotia was brought round with great ease, and performed the upward run between. the Cumbrae and Cloch Lights, but on this occasion with wind and tide in her favour, in 49 minutes ; mean time, 54 minutes. The rate of speed will be understood by the following 59 minutes=l3.B9B knots, or 16.010 miles per hour. 49 minutes=l6.734 knots, or 19.277 miles per hour, 30.632 35.287 Mean speed 15.316 knots, or 17.643 miles. It is anticipated that under ordinary circumstances the maximum speed of the Scotia will be about 19 miles an hour. The trial referred to was made to test the efficiency and speed of the vessel for the mail service, which was done under the superinten dence of Mr. John Dinnen. inspector of machinery, and Mr. James Luke, master shipwright of the Admiralty, Whitehall ; the Board of Trade being locally represented by Mr. George Barber, ship wright surveyor, and Mr. H. R. Robson, inspector of machinery for the Clyde. The Scotia is to be under the command of Captain dudkins, the com modore of the Cunard fleet, who will now move his flag from the Persia, in which he has so long and so ably distinguished himself. In so far as Captain Judkins is concerned with this ship, and indeed in connection with the important service rendered to the country by the company with which he has been connected for many years, it cannot be uninteresting to know that yesterday that gentleman received his commission as Lieutenant in tte, Royal Naval ,Re serve.. ..The appointment was• .made in.

The pumps have been brought out, and the water in the pit has risen above the yard seam, where, it v:11 be recollected, the dead men were found after the late terrible accident. The mouth of the shaft is raised off, and scarcely any one but occasionally a curious visitor is to be seen 'on the high platform. The engines are quieti and the metal about them is being weighed, with a view to selling it. The portion of the beam that fell into the pit has not been seen since the accident, and it appears there is no probability of an attempt being ,made to resume the working of the colliery. It may be, therefore, that the pon derous beam will remain submerged for years, or even for ages; before it shalt be again brought piecemeal, if at all, to the surface of the earth, whence it descended with such fell results. From the official returns, it appears that 202 men and boys were killed in the mine, and five by the falling of the cage, making a total sacrifice of 207. lives. The widows and other relatives seem to be satisfied with the relief which they receive from the fund, and there is, so far as we can learn, only one instance of complaint. That is in the case of an orphan girl, named Ross, 14 years of age, who is only allowed 2s. 6d. per week, or one penny per meal, out of a fund of more than £70,000 subscribed for the widows and orphans,—Newcastle Chronicle. CONVICTION OF A MALTESE NOBLEMAN.—The Marquis Barbaro di San Giorgio, well known in the highest English society in Malta, has just been tried at Valetta on a charge of stealing various articles from the Union Club, of which he was a member. For some months past nume rous thefts had been committed in the club. All the ser vants were dismissed and a new set of servants engaged, but the thefts continued. It was then determined to set a watch on airpersons frequenting the house. The result was the detection of the Marquis in the act of pocketing a soda wator glass. Search was made in his house, and several missing articles from the club, belonging to officers of the garrison, were discovered. The IV arquis was consequently arrested and brought to trial before Judge Sir Antonio Micallef, K.C.NI.G., and a jury, for having stolen between the Ist of January and the 29th of December,lB6l, jewelr y amounting in value to upwards of £l6 10s., three opera glasses, value £5 165., and a soda water glass, value ls. Tho defence,which was intended to have been on the ground of "kleptbmania," was afterwards changed to a denial of the alleged thefts. Late in the evening of the third day's proceedings the jury delivered their verdict, unanimously finding 'the accused guilty of five of the counts of the in - dictment, and by a majority of six against three acquitting him of the other two. The judge condemned the prisoner to five years' imprisonment, with hard labour. _ FIRES IN THE CITY:A fire broke out yesterday forenoon, between 9 and 10 o'clock, at Bull's Wharf, on the water side of Queenhithe. The premises were filled with miscellaneous goods, including casks filled with oil, jute, flax, &c. In less than seven minutes after the alarm Capt. Shaw arrived with the engines from Watling-street Sta tion. The firemen succeeded in confining the fire to the stack of jute combings, but not however until a great quan tity was destroyed. Fortunately the other poitions of the wharf sustained not the least injury. The origin of the fire is unknown, and it was impossible to learn whether the proprietors were insured. Late last night a fire was dis covered in the premises known as Hay's Wharf, Tooley street, destroyed by fire on the 22d June last. It appears that some of the workmen had stuck a lighted candle in a log of timber, and as the candle burnt down it set fire to the beam. Fortunately the discovery was opportunely made, and the workmen, without any additional aid, suc ceeded in extinguishing the fire. MR. SMITH O'BRIEN AND SIR It. PEEL.—Swith O'Brien is accused of having challenged Sir Robert Peel after he (Smith O'Brien) knew that Sir Robert Peel had placed the affair with The O'Donoghue in the hands of his "friend," Lord Palmerston. There is not the least truth in the accusation. No man knows better than Sir Robert Peel that Smith O'Brien wrote to him long before the in terview which Major Gavin had with Sir Robert's noble friend. The moment that Smith O'Brien was made aware of the gross, wanton, and unprovoked attack upon him, that moment he wrote to Sir Robert in language which, to use a popular form of expression, would have "provoked a saint." Nothing could have been more contemptuous, or more calculated to provoke a hostile encounter, if not to a combat a.Poutrance. We can state, as a fact of which we have personal kno w l e d ge, that the defiance was addressed to Sir Robert Peel before Sir Robert was waited upon by Major Gavin; and we can also state that it was known that such contemptuous and exasperating challenge had reached its destination several hours before the gallant major had the memorable interview with the Premier. So that we are in a position to s ay that the accusation which is now sought to be fastened upon Smith O'Brien's honour has its origin either in ignorance or maliee s —Cork .U44113180', LATEST NEWS.

Judging from the Italian papers, the Ratazzi Cabinet does not appear to have many friends, or to satisfy any party. The Opinions of Turin, which had been for some time past in the habit of cen suring Baron Ricasoli for his radical opinions, is not particularly pleased at the accession to power of a still greater radical. After observing that there is not a single Tuscan in the new Cabinet; it says : " That M. Ratazzj has not found a Tuscan to accept the invitation; is a fact, that cannot pass unobserved. It shows that Tuscany is not favour able to the Ratazzi Cabinet, and feels herself deeply offended by -the means employed to pro duce and solve the crisis. In this cabinet also the portfolio of the Interior is entrusted to the Minister of 'roreigti Affairs; serious difficulties must, therefore, have prevented his finding a col league. We must here remark on a change which took place at the eleventh hour. Until ten o'clock p.m. M. Cordova was Minister of the Interior. At eleven he had become Minister of Grace and Jus tice, in consequence of a message from the Left, to the effect that the presence of M. Cordova in the Cabinet, and especially as Minister of the Interior, was pernicious to the country. M. Ratezzi, there fore, wants to remain on a good footing with the Left, and yields to its intimations." The Diritto, the organ of the Extreme Left, does not seem better satisfied with the state of affairs. It expresses itself as follows: " The friends of the new Ministry say that it is a Cabinet of transition. The alliance of Ratazzi and Cordova proves it, and proves also that the transi tion will not last long. The presence of Cordova signifies that the Cabinet either most cynically, or most impudently, chooses to incur the responsibility of presenting itself to the country under ,auspices which reveal a deep-seated political immorality." 'I his is an allusion to the fact that M. Cordova is the only Minister in the new Cabinet who was a member of the old one. The Corriere Mercantile, of Genba, does not conceal its regret at the fall of Baron Ricasoli, and accuses the majority of the Chamber of lukewarmness in the support of a Cabinet which it liked better than the present one. The Stampa and Gazette of Turin both com plain of the tendencies of the new Cabinet towards the Left. The Perseveranza of Milan preache■ conciliation, as if foreseeing that this Cabinet will be shortlived. The clerical organ of Turin, the Armonia, rejoices at the present aspect of affairs, as calculated to weaken - the power of Italy by internal discord ; and the Nazione of Florence unequivocally blames the manner in which the change of Ministry has been brought about. In short, there does not seem to be a voice in favour of the present Cabinet. A letter from Turin, of the 4th, in the Debate, says : " The new Ministry has entered on its functions, but yesterday, at the last moment, an important change was made. Rather loud objections had arisen against the nomination of M. Cordova,. as Minister of the Interior:; he himself preferred the portfolio of Justice, where he might better display his rare talent as an orator. Those difficulties arose at the moment when the decrees were to be signed by the King. M. Ratazzi has taken for a few days the two offices. The intention of the Minister is to get M. Ricasoli elected to the Pre sidency of the Chamber. There may have been . ' some difference as to the ?nod= agendi, as to the application, but at the bottom there is only one policy, that of organising and completing Italy in accord with France. Every one renders homage to the eminent qualities of Baron Ricasoli, and there is reason to believe that he will be nomi nated unanimously. It is thus that Count Ca your acted with M, Ratazzi himself. ;1t is besides advisable to let it be believed that there are dif- ' ferences of opinion among the Italians, but not divisions. The Left has clearly separated from the Extreme Left. The Cabinet will than have against it only the most advanced party, that which goes beyond Garibaldi. On the other hand, it will have to combat the resistance of a part of the majo rity, especially that which is called the two consor terie, namely, the Lombards of the Perseveranza, with whom are grouped a part of the Tuscans, and that portion of the Neapolitan deputation from which General Cialdini had so suddenly separated. This last fraction is little to be feared, as the general elections will certainly exclude it from the Cham ber. General de La Marmora is to remain at Naples, where he is successful, and will be so the more that the present ministry is entirely according to his "views." ISLE OF CYPRUS. A communication from Larnaka (Isle of Cyprus) of the 20th ult. has the following :-- " A step has at last been taken to explore the hidden antiquities of this island of ancient lore. By the last steamer from Syria three Frenqh gen tlemen well versed in antiquarian research arrived at this port from Beyrout, and at once commenced operations in the neighbourhood of Larnaka, ac companied by M. Demetrius Periedet-, a resident gentleman who has devoted much time and labour in this interesting study, and who possesses many valuable specimens of ancient sculpture, some of them dating back to the time of the Phoenicians. After spending three days here they proceeded to Athene, a village about three hours' distance from ) this, and where, a few days previously to their ar rival in Cyprus, a well-preserved and most perfect statue ot Venus, which no doubt dates backito the era of the worship of that goddess (the Phoenician ' Astarte') was discovered by a peasant, and added to the collection of M. Grassett, a French gentleman long resident at this port, whose name has also been associated with the scientific researches and impor tant discoveries which render Cyprus at the present moment a field of no ordinary interest, abounding as it does with memorials of heathen mythology, and relics of the past. From Athens, where they obtained some valuable relics of antiquities—many of which are of Egyptian sculpture—these gentle men proceeded to Famagousta, the principal ancient port of Cyprus, where the Venetian fleet was burned in the year 1570, and in the harbour of which the entire treasures of the old enterprising inhabitants of the Isle still lie buried, the Turkish Government having refused to permit an English company to deepen the port (the best on the entire coast of ' Cyprus, and where at a trifling expense docks so • much needed in the Lavant could be made), on con , dition that any treasure found during the operation should become the property of the company, thus acting the old fable of the dog in the manger, At Famagousta, I have no doubt but that the ex ' plorers will be well rewarded for their researches by further valuable acquisitions to their collec tion. From thence they propose going to Sala mis, Nicoseed, Dellapais, Lapidos, Mousul, Troides, (the ancient Olympus), Paphos, the place where . the sorcerer Elymas was struck blind by the apostle Paul in the year A.D. 45, and Kolpssi, the seat of the Knights Templars, one of whose strong ' castles still remains in the most perfect preserva tion, which with a very small outlay might be made habitable for a nobleman's family. In a fu ture letter I hope to give you an account of import ant discoveries made by these gentlemen ; but if the Turkish Government are desirous of encourag ing antiquarian research in Cyprus, it must take prompt measures to control within reasonable limits the rapacity and injustice of the present governor of the island, which have reached a point utterly unpardonable, as an instance of which I shall merely state the fact that when that official found that the discoverer of the statue at Athene, which I before alluded to, had sold it to a European, he had the unfortunate man arrested and imprisoned with the most notorious criminals, where he still remains, notwithstanding the energetic protest of the Con sul of France, Count du Tour, to obtain his re lease. The approaching harvest in Cyprus pro mises to be a most abundant one, the corn crops all through the island being most luxuriant, and if the great local pests, the locusts, will be con tent with but one-third of the promised yield, there will still be a large margin for exporta tion. The breadth of land preparing for cotton is unusually great, but here again little encou ragement is given to cultivators of that plant ; it is true that the Pasha has issued circulars re commending the planting of cotton on the ground of the likelihood of high prices next season, but he neither gives advice nor assistance to the peasants as to the method of planting, nor gifts, nor loan of seed. His circulars, therefore, have more the effect of raising the rent of cotton land on those who do not hold any of their own, but who are desirous of planting small lots—say 15 or 20 acres—by way of experiment, and thus endeavouring to induce the peasants to cultivate their land in a proper manner, 1 and sow a superior description of seed. The prices of provisions in Cyprus, with the exception of bread, I which continues at its usual price, are most exorbi tant. This, as far as meat is concerned, is caused by the great loss of cattle in the island during the last year, more than two-thirds of the whole live stock having died for want of food ; and little or, .. no .vegetables are to be had. The , poor are consequently suffering much on this account, and because, also, of the great scarcity of employ ment—the last harvest hot having yielded halt the usual produce; indeed that of cotton alone fell off 300 per cent. I regret to announce the total loss of , a fine English brig, the Isabella and Dorothy, of 277 tons register, which took place on the 30th ult. in the bay of Famagousta; all hands were saved, with, however, the loss of their clothes and every thing else. The brig was in ballast, bound from Beyrout to Limasol to take in locust-beans from thence for Cronstadt, and was only partially insured. This is, I believe, the first British vessel which has been lost on the coast of Cyprus in the recollection of the oldest inhabitant. A consular fracas took place here lately which is worth reporting, the parties to it being Count du Tour, the French Consul, and M. Mattei, the Prussian Vice-Consul. The former happening to meet M. Mattel' and his wife in the street—after having met both of them on the pre vious day at the house of a mutual: friend, when the usual civilities of salutation were interchanged— saluted them. The lady returned the salute, but her husband did not. Count du Tour thereupon de manded an explanation on the spot, and this being refused he struck M. Mattel with his whip. The latter replied with several blows of a heavy walking stick, when some passers by interfered and sepa rated the combatants. In the evening, two friends of the Count called on M. Mattei to demand satis faction, but they were refused admittance. A written challenge was then sent, to which the Vice-Conaul replied that he had referred the matter to his supe riors. The other members of the Consular body have taken Count du Tour's part, and M. Mattei, is consequently for the present in vir tual Coventry. i TV.RECK OF 211 E SPA.R7AY, TRANS PORT STEAMIER, AND LOSS OF LIFE. We regret to announce the loss of a very fine steamer, which had been taken up by the Admiralty for the conveyance of stores to North America, at tended with a melancholy sacrifice of life. The ill fated ship was the Spartan, an iron screw steamer of 1,070 tons, recently built under special survey by Messrs. Pyle and Co., of Hartlepool, fitted with four water-tight bulkheads, and was classed A 1 for 13 years. Having been brought up to the Thames, she proceeded to Deptford dockyard, and shipped a large quantity of stores, and eventually left Falmouth on the 2d February on her first voy age, for Halifax and St. John, New Brunswick. She had on board four passengers, Captain Hands, of the 63d Regiment, his wife, child, and servant. ittrom the time of the steamer leaving the Channel nothing was heard of her until yeserday, when Messrs. Fleming, of Austin-friars, agents for the owners, received a telegraphic message from Capt. Wiggins, the master of the Spartan, to the effect that sbe had been lost in the Atlantic. As far as could be learned, it appeared that the unfortunate ship encountered the full fury of the terrific gales * which have occasioned so much havoc amongst the vessels traversing the Atlantic, and after the most fearful rolling and stoving, she sprung a leak, and at length the crew were compelled to take to the boats and abandon her. This took place on the 16th February ; but for several days the ship had been in the most critical position, and on the 11th fihe was struck by a heavy sea, which crushed in the saloon, where Captain Hands, his wife, child, and servant were, and all perished by drowning, it is supposed, with the exception of the servant. About the same period the chief officer and two seamen' were washed overboard and drowned. As before stated, the remainder of the crow took to the boats, and must have (suffered much from exposure, The poor servant fl, who escaped death when the cabin was crushed in, is reported to have died on the 21st. How long they were out in the boats has not transpired, but they were picked' up the ship William Fotheringhain, aocisitelegram from Havre yesterday afternoon, announced their safe arrival at that port. The Spartan foundered shortly after She was abandoned. The ship and freight were in sured to the extent of £30,000, the bulk of which was effected at Lloyd's. The cargo of stores was valued at £30,000. • INDIA. _-----' By the arrival of the Bombay mail we. re ceived files of papers from Bombay to the I. 2 th of February, a n d f r om Calcutta to the 3d of Februa r y .
