To endeavour to render it, therefore, as free from danger and risk as is possible to make a voyage to the other side of the,globe , needs no apology in asking the aid of your most influential assistance, and under this im pression I address to you the following remarks and suggestions. To make this route as safe in the Mediterranean as it would be in the Red Sea if your correspon dent's suggestions are acted on, it will be necessary to have three more lights between Southampton and Alexandria than at present exist. I. can well remember, sir, When there was no light on Cape St. Vincent, nor was it till late in 1845 that ,the present excellent one was placed • there. I can also remember when the north coast of Spain, from Corunna to Vigo, was also without a similar. advantage ; nor was it until after the total loss of oneof the two mail packets then conveying the India mails between Southampton and Alexandria, near that grim and terrible headland, Cape Finis terry, in Feb., 1846, that a light was placed on it; and I may add, had there been one before, neither that steamer nor the West India Royal Mail packet, lost just three years previously not far from the same spot, would in all probability have been sacri ficed. Since that period the west coast of Spain and Portugal has received the advantage of several lights, including a most excellent one on Ceuta, just opposite Gibraltar. There are still, however, three more required to make, as I before observed, the route on this side the isthmus complete in that re spect. .The points on which these lights are re quired are Cape Trafalgar, Cape de Gatt (156 miles cast of Gibraltar), and on the island of Galita. This latter is undoubtedly the most dangerous part of the Mediterranean, and therefore should be the first • to be strongly advocated. Had there been a light on this bold and barren island,.you would not have had to recorl, in the winter of 1847-48, the total loss of her Majesty's ship Avenger on the Sorelli Rocks, 13 miles from : th7s•spot, with all (save four) of her magnificent ship's company ; and your present correspondent was some time since in a ship, commanded by the most experienced Mcditerraneen navigator, which was-perhaps owing to the currents, which, are about there very uncertain both in their. direction and strength, or perhaps to some hitherto undis covered' local attraction on shore—so set. in that, . although steering a course which would, under or- . dinary circumstances, have taken the ship 12 miles N. of Galita,•she was at daylight, to the' surpri , e and anxiety of her commander and all Who knew the fact, inside Galita, and had passed close (God knowe how close) to those - dreaded " Sorellis." • Is it not, therefore, imperative that every exer tion .should.be made to prevent., as far as human in genuity can, the possibility of a recurrence of 'snail frightful losses as have already too often taken place from the want of lights on these dangerous points P. - I may here mention that on the Cane Rocks, 55 miles S.E. of the Galita, a fine light is nearly com pleted, which I believe was obtained through the earnest representation of its necessity to the bey of Tunis by the senior managing director of the :Pen insular and Oriental Company (Mr. Anderson). The next most valuable light would be on Cape Trafalgar or Spartel. Either of these capes is a leading mark to run for to enter the Straits of Gib raltar from the westward, and if a light were . on - either (Trafalgar, perhaps, the best), the 'com manders of the packets, as of all other classes of vessels trading up the Mediterranean, would be after passing Cape St. Vincent, to run boldly for the Straits, thereby shortening the passage and being relieved from a deal of anxiety, to which they are now subject from the fear of being set in too closely to the shoals off Cape Trafalgar. . • 'lnc third. light rcquix.vd „to make the route;cbni plet.c is the. one referred to at Cape:de - Gact, this • could be 'used as a " laud," or, more properly, " light fall," by all vessels coming up the Mediter ranean from the eastward, and would be of infinite service in dark, dirty weather, You will see by the chart that two of these lights must be sought for from the Spanish Government, while the third would be in the hands of the Bey of Tani's, or his chief, the Sultan of Turkey, both of whom have shown themselves well disposed to aid in the furtherance of science and the advancement of mercantile, interests. The subject is one of great importance, not only to England, but to all nations trading to the Medi terranean, and I hope, therefore, you will consider it sufficiently so as to give it the aid of your ad vocacy. I beg to subscribe myself, as one who has made considerable over 100 voyages to Alexandria and METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The ordinary meeting took place yesterday at Guildhall, City, Mr. J. Thwaites presiding. From various causes several important questions were postponed, comprising those relating to the outfall service at Deptford, the deodorization of the Thames, and matters relating to main drainage ; in consequence, the business of the day resolved itself generally into a mere matter of routine, which re lated to applications for consent and approvol as to the erection of certain buildings and alterations. Among the letters read was one from Mr. Chap pell, vestry clerk of St. George, Hanover-square, declining to attend to the precept for the main drainage rate, and also intimating that such rate must (if at all) be collected by the board, as it would not be undertaken by the parish authorities. In regard to this it is understood the board will apply to Parliament for additional powers. The following, however, was the chief operation of the day : THE ORDNANCE SURVEY OF THE METROPOLIS. A claim having been made by the War Depart ment, as representing the late Board of Ordnance, upon the Metropolitan Board of Works, as succes sors to the late Commissioners of Sewers, for ex penses incurred in the late survey of London, amounting to £24,226 17s. 3d., a letter was written by the clerk (Mr. E. H. Woolrych) to Gen. Peel, urginc , that such claim should not be enforced against the ratepayers of the metropolis, &c. To this the following was reciveel : " Treasury Chambers, Aug. 20. " Sir,—l am commanded by the Lords Commis sioners of her Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you that the Secretary of State for War has referred to this board Mr. Woolrych's letter to that department, dated the 23d of April last, on the subject of the repayment of the expenses incurred in making a survey of London for the late Metropolitan Com missioners of Sewers. " I am to observe that it appears quite clear that the commissioners, by their resolutions of April and May, 1848, rendered themselves liable for the re payment of the expense of making the block plan in question. The resolution of the 30th May, 1848, directs ' that the Ordnance Department be requested to proceed with the block plan of the metropolis, so far as may be necessary for the purposes of the com missioners, with all practicable speed, and that such payMents on account as may be requisite for pro ceeding with the survey be made from time to time out of the sewers rates, making it evident that the work was undertaken at the time on this distinct understanding, and at the request of the Commis sioners of Sewers ; and it appears from the subse quent correspondence down to 1852 that the Com missioners never disputed their liability,. and pro mised payment whenever legislative provision should be made to enable them to raise the requisite funds. " It is equally evident that the liabilities of the Commissioners of Sewers have devolved on the Metropolitan Board of Works, so that it app upon the Metropolitan Board of Works, so that it appears to admit of no question that the board are under a dis tinct legal liability to repay to the Government the whole a the sum of £24,212 17s. 3d. which was ex pended upon the block plan in question. My lords do not feel that they would be warranted, by any of the general c onsiderations stated in the letter from your board, dated April 28, in abandoning this c l a im. The conditions ur.der which the survey was undertaken were perfectly well known at the time, and. the authorities by whom the ratepayers of London were represented had the option of waiting for the benefit of the national survey, to which they had contributed as taxpayers, and which they would have had, like the other large towns men tioned, without any further payment, or of antici pating that benefit by paying for it; and, without any pressure on the part of the Government, they THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY E VENING: SEPTEMBER 24, 1859. THE QUEEN'S HOTEL, Queenstown. —Mr. ROBERT WILSON respectfully apprises tourists and families visiting this delightful watering...place, the air of which is famed throughout Europe, that the splendid esta blishment so well known as the " Queen's Hotel" has come under his management. This hotel is one of the finest in the United Kingdom; and besides being furnished Nsitn all the luxuries and appliances of a First-class Hotel, it combines all the advantages of a beautiful situation, commanding charm ing views, the best attendance, ample accommodation either for families or single visitors, close contiguity to the steam boat pier, and the finest promenades of Queenstown, and a scale of prices so moderate as to enable its visitors to enjoy all the advantages of a first-class hotel on ibe same terms they would have to pay in a minor one. From its open and healthful situation the Queen's Hotel is also peculiarly suit able for invalids. THE BRITISH . ASSOCIATION. ABERDEEN, SEPT. 22 The meeting of the British Association for 1859 has been brought to a close. A meeting of the General Committee was held in the new Music-hall this afternoon, on which occasion Sir David Brewster presided. Professor WALKER, Secretary to the Association, rend the resolutions passed by the General Com mittee this morning. The money voted for various scientific purposes amounted to £930, being distri buted as follows—viz., for Kew Observatory, £500; chymical science, £9O ; geology, £6O ; zoology and botany, £100; physiology, £2O; and mechanical science, £l6O. Reports from the sections recommending papers to be printed in the proceedings of the Association were then read. It was recommended by Section G that a committee should be appointed to continue the inquiry into the performance of steam-vessels and vessels under sail, with a view of comparing the results of the two powers of wind and steam, and to report to next meeting. A committee was appointed to report to next meeting on the scientific objects which may be sought for by continuing the balloon ascents for merly undertaken to great altitudes. The General Committee also resolved to express the thanks of the British Association to his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, as President, for the interest he has manifested in the continuation of magnetic observations, and that he be requested, in concert with the President of the Royal Society, to take such steps, as may appear most suitable to carry out the recommendation of the two societies in respect to these observations. The Committee of Section A having represented the probable importance of occasional telegraphic communication between a few widely separated ports - of Great Britain and Ireland, by which warning may be given of storms, the General Committee then recommended application to be made to the Board of Trade for such an arrangement as may further this object authoritatively. On the recommendation of the Committee of Section E, it was resolved to express to the Govern- ' ment its concurrence in the application made by the Royal Geographical Society to the First Lord of the Treasury to further a proposed expedition, under Captain Speke, to ascertain if the White Nile has its main source in the Great Nyanza Lake. Section G recommended the re-appointment of the committee on the patent laws. Sir RODERICK MURCHISON then said it gave him very mi.ch satisfaction to move that the thanks of the Association be offered to the Lord Provost of the city of Aberdeen, to Mr. Thomson, of Banchory, to the two colleges, to the noblemen and gentlemen of the county, and particularly to Marischal College, for the admirable accommodation given fir the meetings of the sections within its walls--Sir Rode rick said that the meeting had been characterised by an addition to it of a rather novel kind to them as men of science,—viz., a collection of antiquities, and beautiful specimens of photography ; for the latter they were chiefly indebted to Mr. J. F. White. If he might mention particularly indivi• duals to whom the meeting were indebted for the archaeological exhibition, he would name Mr. C. Dalrymple, Mr. James Hay Chalmers, and Mr. A. F. Irvine, jun., of Drum. On behalf of the mem bers of the Association 11. s expressed their sense of the hospitality shown by the inhabitants of Aber deen. Admiral FITZROY briefly seconded the motion, bearing testimony to the, hospitality extended to them, and to the admirable arrangements matte by the local secretaries (Professors Nicol and Fuller and Mr. J. F. White), and the Lord Provost, which tended not a little to the signal success which had attended their proceedings. The LORD PROVOST briefly acknowledged the vote of thanks to the inhabitants of Aberdeen and himself. Sir A. L. HAY, on the part of the gentlemen of the county, expressed their gratitude to the Asso ciation for the honour done by coming among them. Professor PHILLIPS, in proposing a vote of thanks to the local secretaries, stated that this was the largest meeting of the Association that had been held, and that the unexampled number of 2,400 persons were present on the occasion of the inauguratory address of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort. Notwithstanding the distant part of Great Britain in which they were assembled, and the distracted state of the Continent, there was an increase in the number of their foreign visitors. The number ef foreign friends present at the meet ing last year was 13, while this year there were so Many as 20. Professor WALKER seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to, and The meeting was then formally adjourned to meet at Oxford next year. FATAL ACCIDENT TO LIEUTENANT- GENERAL MORSE. In the obituary of The Sun of yesterday was an , nounced the death of Lieutenant-General Morse, of her Majesty's Indian forces ; but we lament to learn that this event was the result of an accident which occurred to the gallant gentleman on the evening of Friday, the 16th inst. It is only a _little time since that the Lieutenant-General had taken up his residence at Farley-hill-house, Swallowfield, in Berkshire, and as his affable and courteous conduct had already gained him the esteem of all with whom he came in contact, the sad calamity of his death has produced a great sensation in the neigh bourhood. On the afternoon of the day above named Lieutenant-General Morse drove in his dog cart to the town of Reading, being accompanied by his butler. They remained there until about seven o'clock in the evening, when they set off for Farley hill, the Lieutenant-General driving. The horse went at the pace of about 12 miles an hour, but nothing occurred until within a mile of Farley-hill house, at a part of the road where it was narrow, and one side had been washed away by the rain. It was very dark, and four persons coming from the opposite direction in a phaeton, hearing a dogcart going at a sharp pace, and fearful of an accident, called out, but in an instant the wheel of the dog cart struck the phaeton, and the force of the colli sion was such that the Lieutenant-General and the butler were thrown into a ditch, and the dog cart and horse fell in the road. The party in the phaeton found their horse very restive, and could not pull up ; however, on riding by the George and Dragon public-house they called out to the landlord that an accident had happened a few yards distant. Several persons, on hearing of this, walked along the road, and found the statement to be too true. Lieut.-Gen. Morse and the butler were picked:up in the ditch, and both were unconscious ; the cart was turned upside down and the horse on its back. A messenger was sent to Farley-hill-house and a carriage ob tained, in which the Lieutenant-General was re moved to his home ; but the butler soon afterwards recovered and managed to walk back to the inn. A medical gentleman (Mr. Crisp, of Swallowfield), was sent for, and he found the Lieutenant-General labouring under the effects of a concussion or frac ture of the brain. Other medical gentlemen were subsequently called in, and they were unremitting in their attentions to the unfortunate gentleman. From the moment of the fall the Lieutenant-Gene ral never recovered his consciousness, and on Tues day evening he breathed his last. As the case terminated fatally, there was much anxiety to dis cover the person belonging to the carriage against which the dog cart struck, and it was ascertained that it was Mr. Mirsselwhite, an architect, of Basing stoke, who was with his wife and two female rela tives. He attended the inquest, which was held on Thursday, before Mr. R. Clarke, the coroner of the district, and said that he drew his phaeton as near the ditch as he possibly could to avoid an accident, as he heard a horse coming at a great pace; in a minute or two his carriage was struck, but none of his friends were thrown out. He was driving steadily on his right side of the road, but it being dark, General Morse could not see any object before him, and got from his side of the road, and thus the col lision occurred. The butler, when examined, said the General drove at the rate of 12 miles an hour. The jury were satisfied that no blame attached to Mr. Musselwhite, and returned a verdict of "Acci dental death." 211 E NAVY The screw steam-transport Balaklava, Pellatt master, belonging to the military store department of Woolwich Arsenal, sailed yesterday morning, laden with shot and shell,-2,100 boxes of small arms' ammunition from the War Department, Woolwich, and. 107 boxes of muskets from the Tower, for Southampton, to be reshipped on board the mail packet for Alexandria, thence to China. The whole of the boxes are carefully packed in an exterior covering of canvas, a precaution rendered necessary in consequence of the distance overland. The ammunition boxes contain 2,000,000 rounds of ball cartridges. As a proof of the promptitude and capabilities of the department,it may be stated that the whole of the above-named stores were packed and stowed away on shipboard within three days after the delivery of the order. The departure of the ship war, however, delayed by some slight de fect. in her machinery. A second order for the same destination, to a much larger extent, is in course of execution, to be despatched by sea. The freight-ships Irene and Daphne were yester day chartered by the War Department for the ship ment of military stores from Woolwich Arsenal. The Havock gunboat was commissioned yesterday at Portsmouth by Lieut. Fairholme. The Sphinx, 6, paddle, Commander Hay, fitting out in the steam basin at Portsmouth, has already entered upwards of 60 of her crew. The Perseverance, screw transport, Commander Power, undergoing repairS in No. 8 dock at Ports mouth, will be out of the hands of the steam factory department on the 27th inst. In consequence of the reports received of the working of Cunningham's patent topsails on board this vessel, it is the inten tion of the Admiralty to have the whole of the troop steamers fitted on that principle. The Avon paddle steamer, sailed from Devonport, for Portsmouth, yesterday with supernumerary Marine Artillery for her Majesty's ships Encounter and Centaur, fitting out at that port. The 111"ander, old sailing frigate, recently fitted out at Portsmouth for a storeship at Ascension, is ordered to be Ailed up with stores for that port, after which she will sail under convoy of her Ma jesty's frigate Arrogant, 47, screw, Captain W. Edmonstone, about to leave for the coast of Africa, as senior.ofFicer's ship. on the station. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut: L. F. Jones to be fiag lieut. to Rear-Admiral L. T. Jones, second in com mand in China ; Lieut. G. W. Carter to the Mel pomene; Licut. the Hon. M. R. Winfield, to the Nile; Licut. the lion. A. K. H. Legge to the Edgar; Lieut. C. IL Wilkinson :o the Odin ; Lieut. W. H. Hobson, additional, to the Victory ; Lieut. W. 11. Royse to the Snake ; P.

Var ren, master's assistant, to the Agamemnon; l' . F. Strong, master's assistant, to the Trafalgar ; W. B. P. Thompson, master's assistant, to the Donegal ; A. G. Master, master's assistant, to the Topaz ; and W. D. Rust, master's assistant, to the Mars. Second- Lieut. W. D. Welsh, R.M.A., to be First-Lieut., vice L. H: I. Inglis, killed in action at the recent attack on the Taku Forts, at the entrance to the Tien-tsin River; Second-Lieut. W. Stewart, It. M. A., to be First-Licut., vice H. Woolridgc, killed in the same action. Both the above officers are reappointed to the Artilery Companies of the Royal Marines. AN AMERICAN GUNBOAT. On the 24th of last June the steam gunboat Seminole, one of the seven vessels last ordered by Congress, was launched at the 'Pensacola navy yard. Her model was drawn by Naval Contractor Porter, whose little daughter christened her. The Seminole is a barque-rigged steamer of 800 tons burden. She is (what the newspapers have lately called " a novelty") built on the genuine gunboat principle, which means that she can carry a very heavy armament into shallow water, and combines strength and room ness with swiftness and compara tively small proportions. One of her guns will weigh no less than 25,0001 b., and is a most destructive weapon. Besides this, two 32-pounders of 42 cwt. each will be on board, making the Seminole, when well manned by expert sailors and marines, a powerful (although somewhat diminutive) anta gonist tow ship or fort. The machinery of the vessel is of the first class. We examined it minutely at the Morgan Iron-works on Thursdoy. It consists of two splendid engines of the " horizontal back acting steeple" description, 750 horse power, with cylinders 50 inches in diameter and 30 inches stroke. The pistons are connected with cross heads by two rods. There are a Purson's patent steam condenser nearly finished, and two pumps, one for air and the other for water, worked by projecting arms forged on the lower piston rods, attached to the machinery. The boilers, of which there will be two and an auxiliary one, are Martin's patent, - measuring re spectively 21 feet 6 inches long (six furnaces) and 18 feet 1 inch long (five furnaces). The " auxiliary" is smaller than these. Both boilers ore of the same height—viz., 9 feet 8 inches, and the same depth, 9 feet 3 inches. The propeller will be of brass, a two bladed screw, 9 feet 6 inches in diameter, and 17 feet pitch. The total weight of the machinery will be 301 tons, and the consumption of coal about 22 tons per day. She is expected to make 10 or 11 knots per hour under steam alone, and from 11 to 13 under steam and canvas. The Seminole ranks with the Narragansett, and is smaller than the other five steamers of her class in course of construction. The great perfection of gunboats may be briefly classed under three distinct heads :-1. They are small, can carry heavy metal into shallow water, and can move quickly, being steamers. 2. They are easily manned and easily equipped for sea at very short notice, be sides being handy to execute with alacrity Govern mental business and squadron duty requiring a na tional vessel, but no display. 3. In line of battle they are considered on a par with sailing frigates —first, because they can effectively use at least three heavy guns at all points of the com pass, while presenting' an exceedingly small mail for the enemy's ordnance; second, they can "choose the time and tide" for fighting, as circum stances may dictate ; thirdly, anticipating defeat, they can make discretion the better part of valour by ,an expeditious retreat. But here end their commendable attributes. They cannot properly accommodate a crew and carry provisions to sup port it, or coal to fire up with for any considerable length of time, and the Niagara or Minnesota would sink one of them every hour. In time of war, as a modern naval battle would be conducted principally by steam-vessels of large dimensions, the only use a gunboat could be put to would be either to act as a tender to larger craft or to cap ture merchantmen. Understanding this, and aim ing at superiority in decisive encounters, the French are not hurriedly increasing their stock of gunboats. The steamers Wyandotte and Mohawk, preparing at the Brooklyn navy-yard for the home station, are nearly ready to receive their crews. No orders have been received relating to the outfit of the Niagara and Susquehannah, or the other vessels lying in ordinary at the navy-yard.—New York Times. GEORGE'S-IN-7'HE - EAST. Mr Joseph Smith, a solicitor, of Arbour-square, Stepney, applied to Mr. Yardley, at the Thames Police-court yesterday, for summonses against John Peterson, of No. 1, Lower Chapman-street, St. George's-in-the-East, sugar baker, under the following circumstances : Mr. Smith said he applied on behalf of the Rev. Bryan King, the rector of the extensive parish of St. George, Middlesex, commonly called St. George's-in-the-East, for two summonses against a man named Peterson for unseemly conduct and dis turbing the congregation ors the afternoon of Sun day last in the parish church, and also with repeat ing 'offensive behavignr atsthe Mission Chapel in Wellcloso-square, in the parish of St.-George, on the same evening. Mr. Smith then called the attention of the magistrate to two acts of Parliament, the Ist of William and Mary, cap. 18, sec. 18, passed in the year of the glorious re volution, MSS; and the Ist of Queen Mary, sesion 2, cap. 3. passed in 1553. He would take the later act of William and Mary first. It stated that any person disquieting and disturbing a congregation, or misusing any preacher or teacher, upon proof thereof before any justice of the peace by any two or more witnesses, shall find two sureties in the sum of £5O each, to appear at the Sessions, and, upon conviction, to pay a fine of £2O. The uct of Queen Mary enacted that if any person by open word, act, or deed, contemptuously molest, disturb, or trouble, or by any unlawful means disquiet or misuse any preacher or preachers in any of his or their open sermon, preaching, or collation, or any parson, vicar, priest, or curate , or any lawful priest preparing, saying, doing, ringing, ministering, or celebrating the mass, or other such Divine service, or sacramentals, every such offender shall be appre hended immediately by any constable, churchwar den of the parish, or any other person or persons there being present, and carried before any justice of the peace, and if found guilty on proof of two witnesses, or upon confession, to be imprisoned for three months, and at the end of that period to find sureties for his good behaviour.. Mr. Yardley—Surely, Mr. Smith, that act must have been repealed ? Mr. Smith—No, it is not, sir. Mr. Yardley—Why, it alludes to the mass. You don't call the services of the present day in our churches and chapels, "or such other divine ser vice." Mr. Smith—l really must submit to you, sir, that any services of a sacramental character only differ from the mass in form and not in substance ; in addition to which I can inform your worship there has been a conviction under this very act of Queen Mary in Dorsetshire within 18 months of the present time. Mr. Yardley—What act do you prefer ? Mr. Smith—As this is the first case, I would rather take the more merciful course, and have a summons under the act of William and Mary. Mr. Yardley—l think you will do right then. Mr. Smith then stated that the Rev. Bryan King, the rector, not being present, he would call on Mr. Wm. R. Motion, of 4, Back-road, St. George's, wine merchant, who gave evidence of a serious distur bance in the parish church on Sunday afternoon last. When the congregation met for the Tracta rian or Puseyite service, as it is termed, the defendant Peterson got very near the vestry door, where seve ral gentlemen were placed in order to protect the curate, the Rev. Mr. Maconochie, specially deputed by the Bishop of London to perform the service. Previously to the clergyman coming to the vestry several disorderly persona, including Peterson, were there, and they used threatening language as to what they would do when he came out of the vestry. When the rev. gentleman came out of the vestry and entered the church he was hustled, shoved, and Pushed about to such an extent as to render it impossible for him with safety to attempt divine service. The rev. gentleman was severely maltreated, and was only saved from further violen e by the assistance of the police and his own friends. The noise and confusion was dreadful. Mr. Yardley was in hopes there was a termination to the disturbances and dissensions in St. George's Church, but he was sorry to say'his expectations were disappointed. The summons was then granted. Mr. Smith then applied for a seeond summons against Peterson for an offence, under the act of William and Mary, in the Mission Chapel in Well close-square which the solicitor said was a licensed place of worship. It may be necessary to state that the Rev. Bryan King has opened two chapels in the parish in which the ceremonies are conducted in the same manner as they have been in the church, and which has given so much offence to the Protestant parishioners. Owing to the serious dis turbance in the parish church in the afternoon, and the threats made use of by the people there assembled, the Tractarian services of the rector were dispensed with in the evening, and the church was closed. The disappointed anti-Puseyites then repairel to the Mission Chapel in Wellclose-square, where the Rev. M. Maconochie, the curate, was to officiate, and stopped the intended service there as well. Evidence was given by Mr. Motion that Peter son had conducted himself in a very disgraceful manner in the Mission Chapel, created a disturb ance, and behaved rudely to a female member of the congregation. Mr. Yardley granted a second summons against Peterson, and both will be heard on the same day. THE ARMY. The whole of the reinforcements ordered to be furnished by the Indian depots at Chatham for aug menting the various regiments serving in the three presidencies have now left that garrison ; the last of the detachments, under the command of Captain H. L. Cafe, 94th Regiment, having embarked on board the Balcarres for Kurrachee. The total number of troops furnished by the several depots was 733 non-commissioned officers and privates be longing to the Royal Engineers, 20th, 35th, 43 d (Light Infantry), 73d, 77th, and 94th Regiments. The Indian depots, notwithstanding the numerous detachments that have embarked, are still very strong, the threq battalions at Chatham garrison numbering upwards of 3,090 bayonets, and recruit• ing is still actively proceeding. DR. LInNGSiONE'S EXPEDITION. y The follbs'wing are extracts from a` letter from the Doctor's brother dated " Tette, January 1" " On the 22d of November we all proceeded up the river to explore Kebrabasa and see if there were any cataracts. Leaving the steamer, which could not stem the current, at the beginning of Kebra basa, with 12 Makololo, we started on foot with pro visions for eight days, a half-caste Portuguese ac companying us. The weather was oppressively hot and the way terribly rough. I never was so ex hausted in all my life as during the first two days' march. After that I was less and less fatigued, though travelling much further. The second day seemed like walking in an oven. When we halted for the night the Makololo got grass or small branches with leaves and spread them on the ground, then our blankets over. The six of us slept in a row, thus-1 111 1 1. One night, under a huge baobab, a monstrous spider took a fancy to run over our faces. They are the fastest runners I ever saw—have a sort of feathery stuff over them. At last we made a regular hunt and caught the culprit, and sentenced him to be confined for life in a vial of spirits. Next one of the smallest monkeys I ever saw came among us, but, though we all made a dart at him, he managed to escape. He was not so large as a rat—a pretty little fellow. Two days after eating the last of our goat flesh, which one who had not the sense of smell might call very ten der, we had the good fortune to shoot. a hippopota mus. The day before T— knocked up, and we left him with four men and provisions. Here we left all the Makololo but two to cut up the hippo and dry it, and despatching one back with some of the meat to T—, we started off again to the foot of a hi , 411. mountain, which the doctor has named after the young Queen of Portugal. After a toil some day's march we reached it. A tiger sprung on a group of men that night in the village, and killed one and carried l im off. " The river all the way is deep and narrow, with some small rapids, which a powerful steamer could easily surmount., Climbing over the rocks is most laborious. A good place for shoemakers,—three pairs of boots were worn out during that march, one quite new pair. Two months here about finishes a pair of Hoppe's, and they are excellent. The two head Makololo here told the doctor that some natives had said to them there was a cataract further up, others told the half-caste Portuguese that there was no cataract. The doctor was rather restless that night, and said on rising a little before five, ' I'm determined to see this myself ; I'll go alone with two Makololo, and go to the end of it.' K._ wished to go with him, and the two set off with four Makololo. They had a worse march the last of it than we had. At a native village the people tried to dissuade them from going. There is no path an elephant could go ; a hippo could not go, not even an alligator could go.' At last two men consented to go as guides. It took them half a day to go half a mile in one place. At last even the Makololo were knocked up, and one clever, ob liging fellow said to the doctor,' I can go no far ther ; I would willingly go with you, but my feet are done,' and the two head men tried hard to in duce him to return. At last they conchided he had gone wrong in the head, and told K— so, and that they had better go back and leave him. At length the two guides jumped up, saying, Let us go.' The doctor sat still, and watched with some interest whether they would take the backward or forward way. They went forward, and he followed, as did the Makololo, though with sore blistered feet, on the burning rocks. Soon they . camo upon a fisherman mending his net, who pointed out a way which led them in a little while to a spot from which they could see the cataract. It seemed about 30 feet high--a slope, not perpendicular—and the rocks rising 1,000 feet on either side of the river. As the river when full rises from 40 to 100 feet in that region, there is a possibility that there is smooth water then, and while the river remains full, a rise of 2 feet completely did away with a sloping fall of 5 feet ; below it was quite smooth when the doctor returned. However, we shall go to see next month. " If the doctor doev. not return with the steamer below, where he has gone for our goods, provisions, &c., when the river rises 12 feet I am to take the whaleboat and Mr. B , and go to see it and get photograms and sketches. The doctor told me to send two Makololo with supplies for him and K— on Monday (this was on the Tuesday preceding) ; I sent three Makololo with Mr. B—on Saturday. They met the doctor returning, two days' journey from the ship, out of provisions, having had no din ner that day. I felt thankful I did not wait till Monday. I saw plainly the reason the doctor said Monday was, he did not like to trouble us. But there is not a man among us who would not most cheerfully have done far more than this for him, and never dream of its being a trouble. The doctor works excessively hard himself."—l am, sir, your obedient servant, HADLEIGH :10TISE. 2--- - Z._,t 7 /". ten v ado ydo d the latter opt' for reasons Y. \ ggit which were .doubtless thought go Alt the time. .-:-4SsN " The same course wasiadopt cI by sour- otbet. towns in England, for .*hosemmodation an expenditure of £20,486 Bs.. 7 o r yas - incurred. ~PICIT Similar objections were .raised b "those towns to Y the repayment of this amount, .and compromised . for £12,526 ls. ld., orl. n r4Amd numbers thrce-fifths of the original claim,-of which a large portion has been repaid, and the residue in course of repayment.

Mr. James Campbell; of Craigie, the Liberal can didate for the representation of the county of Ayr, addressed a meeting of the -electors•and non-elec tors of Kilwinning on -Thursday, in the United Presbyterian Church. The attendance was large, comprising some of the principal inhabitants of the 'district. Mr. Knox was called to the chair.. Mr. CAMPBELL said that in .looking,over the ad dress which he had made to theni 20 years aho he saw nothing in it whatever to alter. He stood to everything.he said then, and he had no reason to repent of what he had said, because the measures which he then advocated had. been carried, not to the damage of the nation's well-being, but greatly to its advantage. Let them look .to what they possessed now compared with what they had 20 years ago ; how much the comfort of every indivi dual was increased—whether high or low. Look to the enlargement that had been given to trade, and the increase of employment which had been thereby afforded. All were now better every way in respect to the comforts and necessaries of life than what they were then. He thought they had therefore cause ior rejoicing, not only for the past, but he trusted also for the future, and that what had been effected demonstrated that"they ought to carry out the same system still further that thereby they might have a greater increase of comfort and happiness to every individual. (Applause.) As he had said, he could not go into details 'of reform, because it ,was not possible for him to do.so until the opinions of all interested in the subject IN ere fully obtain 'd. But he had told them the chief 'mints on which his mind was Made up. He con sidered it essential to the well-being of the State not only to carry out those measures to which he had referred, but also to get that supervision of the expenditure of the country, and its application to proper objects, which was necessary to the happi ness of this country. (Applause.) And he trusted that they would have such a reform as would give those earnest men who were labouring in the cause power to carry their object into effect. (Mr. Camp bell concluded amidst great applause.) Sir James Fergusron, the Conservative candidate, in a note to the chairman of the Conservative com mittee, Colonel Ferrier Hamilton; clatadiesterday, says, " I beg to intimate my grateful acceptance of the invitation conveyed , to, me, by you,, to offer myself as a candidate on this occasion for the re presentation of the county of Ayr." Sir James has also issued an address to the electors. Ho says : As a Conservative, I am opposed to sudden and organic changes in the settled institutions of the country-'--to a distribution .of- political power which our mixed constitution has arranged. But you are aware, I hope, that I desire' to promote, as far as my influence extends; - safe and, wal-consi dered measures of national progress and social im provement." - With regard to the extenslon - of the franchise, Sir James desires to see the privilege placed within the reach of educated industry, but not lowered to the unimptoving or irresponsible;, and he will rejoice if the bill •promised by the pre sent. Government—being of that tendency—shall be such he can cordially suppot t.

The down express train, consisting of six carriages and a large powerful goods engine; left Hereford at 12.50. All went well • until tho train arrived at about 800 yards past the station at St. Devereux, seven miles from Hereford. At that point the driver became Conscious that something Was.wronr-, the engine jumping about with great violen ce, and immediately leaving the rails. The breaks were put on, but the whole of the carriages got off the line, and, after ploughing up the earth and rails for 80 yards, the engine drove down an embankment 12 feet in depth, and turned completely over, the upper works being smashed to atoms. The driver and fireman were thrown with terrific force into the hedge bottom, where they lay stunned and motionless. By an extraordinary circumstance, just as the engine made the plunge, the attachment of the tender broke, and thus prevented the catas trophe which must have ensued if the chain had resisted the tremendous strain, and the carriages gone over the embankment. When the engine went over the train stopped almost immediately. The rails were ploughed up and twisted for about 80 yards. The passengers were not seriously injured, which is most extraordinary, considering the tre mendous oscillation of the train. Several were much shaken, but directly the train stopped all were able to get out, and one or two proceeded to the assistance of the wounded men. '(here being no telegraph station at St. Dcvereux, a goods train which was coming up was stopped and the engine disconnected. The stoker of the express, who was the most injured, was placed on the engine, which proceeded at full speed to Hereford, and gave the alarm. Mr. Macdonald, the company's engineer, and a large staffof assistants, proceeded immediately to the spot : They found the engine-driver restored to consciousness. He said that the accident took place so instantaneously that they had not time to jump off the engine, which was going at 40 miles a n hour when it went over. Mr. Macdonald or dered the men to get water from the broken ten der, and with this, after some difficulty, they suc ceeded in quenching the fire in the engine. The cause of the accident was very soon ascer tained. About 80 yards from the place where the engine was overthrown, large pieces of the tire of to leading wheel of the engine were found. The .re broke there, and thus threw the engine off the rails. The scene of the accident presented a most extra ordinary appearance. The six carriages were dragged across the " six-foot," and the enormous engine was turned over at the bottom of the em bankment, which was ploughed up in a manner that showed the terrific force with W hich the engine descended. The effects of the panic amongst the passengers gave rise to one or two curious accidents. A young woman, a passenger from Liverpool, was sitting in a third-class carriage, with two children, one in arms, and the other about two and a half years old. Her terror was excessive when the • oscillation be. came violent, and she seized • the eldest child and threw it out of the window,..and was attempting to open the door to follow, when she was stopped by a passenger. When the carriages stopped the p oor wom an hastened up the line, expecting c hild dead or injures blit; although the ~ train was to find her going at 40 miles tart-'ibtrl , -kwhen the child was thrown out, the little-fellow was found sittin g on the ground with not the slightest trace of injury, except a small cut on the left temple. The poor mother's joy was excessive, and the rest of the pas sengers were much relieved when they saw how fortunately the child had escaped what appeared to be an inevitable death. A gentleman passenger, as soon as the train stopped, plunged out of the carriage and set off running down the line, apparently unconscious of what be was doing. Another passenger, an officer of the 21st Regiment of Foot, stationed at Newport, with the greatest presence of mind assisted the pas sengers to alight. and upon seeing the condition of the engine-driver and stoker he put down a sove reign as the nuelmis of a fund for their assistance, and we believe every passenger contributed. The stoker was taken to Hereford Infirmary, and we learn that, unless the internal injuries are more severe than was at first supposed, there is a proba bility he may recover. LThe line was in working order again on Wed.- nesday night. There will be a strict investigation into the cause of the accident.
