Our contemporary the Morning Post, with whose general views on the paestionwe quite agree, mistakes the sense in which Mr. SEWARD'S dispatch to Mr. ADAMS has been spoken of as a disavowal of the act of Captain WILKES. It was obviously not a catego rical disavowal, probably no one thought of it as such. It was, however, a disavowal of authorisa tion of the act by the Government, and the conten tion is that no honourable Government could for ward such information to another Government without being understood to imply, that it would not, and even ought not to have ordered the act. With Yankee cunning, which is never ashamed of the transparency of the cunning, direct disavowal was carefully avoided, Mr. SEWARD said that he attached no importance to the fact that WILKES did not act under Government instructions, or more exactly, that he would not say whether he did or not. But if not, why mention it ? How could it lessen "• embarrassment" if Mr. SEWARD did not in tend to disconnect the Government and its servant. If the Government accepted the act it had Captain WILKES on its arm, and would be as much em barrassed in squeezing through the narrow passage left by precedents and authorities, as if it formally ordered the act. For all legal purposes it was one and the same thing for the Government to order the act and to adopt it when done. We will put a parallel commercial case. A re spectable firm finds that one of its travellers, in his zeal to make profits for kis masters, has over charged some regular customer, who he thinks for some reason or other will let it pass, say £2O on an order for goods. The firm becomes aware of it, before it receives any complaint from the customer ; it writes to the customer our traveller charged you £2O too much on your last order ; but as it was not by our instruction, the fact, though we do not indicate that it is of any importance, will relieve the subject from embarrass ment, and we shall have, therefore, a friendly dia• cussion on the subject. "Discussion !"—we imagine the honest country customer would exclaim—" what, I admit that what you knew I should complain of was not done by your instructions, and yet not order me to strike off the £2O. Gentlemen, I must deal in future with some other wholesale house, on whose integrity customers at a distance from the great markets can rely ?" The honest tradesman would repudiate the idea that what the wholesale firm declared to be the sole act of its agent, was not a virtual disavowal of the act ; at the same time he would add —when he talks of discussing the subject in a friendly temper, instead of making immediate reparation, I understand him as wishing to profit by his agent's over zeal if he can safely do so. This is to our mind precisely Mr. SEWARD'S position. In fact, he does two thoroughly incon sistent things. With ineffable meanness he does not speak out on either; but he implies by talking of not ordering the act that he disavows it—while he implies, by talking of friendly con struction or consideration on our part, that he adopts it ! He covets the profit of an act he dares not say he ordered ! Cii cumstances have subse quently compelled Mr. SEWARD to a better course, but, as at present advised, we must regard his despatch of the 30th of November as the greatest blot on his diplomacy. It is double tongued. " Out of the same mouth cometh blessing and cursing"— disa m v a o y w e a d l d, an a;; y owal. With the Q ua k er -lik e apost l e we brethren, these things ought not to be." We insist on the virtual disavowal, and infer that offer of reparation alone ought to follow. If, on the other hand, we insisted on the virtual avowal, then we should say that the virtual disa vowal is disgraceful. Not so very long ago, we had at length solved for us, the previously (to all appearance) inscrutable problem as to the North West Passage, Sir ROBERT M'CLuRE demonstrated for once and for all the existence of such a passage by sailing through it. But, when the problem had been thus satisfstetorily solved, the result turned out to be just another pro vocative to the despairing dictum of Sir CHARLES COLDSTREAM. There was nothing in it. The Passage, was there, but it was of no avail to wards shortening tho coramunication between cr.ht and west, between the new world and the old, between Europe and America and Asia. The channel was found to be so rarely open to navigation, all but so uninteruptedly blocked up by the everlasting ice of those Arctic regions, that commerce could hope for no facilita tion for its advancement in that direction. At any rate, fruitless though the result when obtained, the result was obtained—the adventurous exploit of APOLTIRE settling the question definitively as to the existence of a North-West Passage. Several years since the sometime Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, Sir GEORGE SIMPSON, did by land what a century ago Captain JAMES COOK did by sea—" put a girdle round the earth " —a little less rapidly, it is true, than Ariel in The Tempest. Sir GEORGE made, in point of fact, "An Overland Journey Round the World "—traversing, among other regions, the dense primeval forests occupying a large proportion of the central part of the North American continent, about midway be tween the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans—the core and heart in effect of that vast and almost untrodden dominion, over which Sir GEoncE SIMP SON presided as virtually, in one sense, the repre sentative of the Sovereign, or literally, and more strictly speaking, as the chosen head of a great mercantile company. From seaboard to seaboard paced the daring footsteps of the enter prising Governor Traveller. Now-a-days, what M'CLURE did by the North- West Passage, - what SIMPSON did by the Hudson's Bay Territories—that heroic and generous hearted Christian Philanthropist (the words, however, are, we cannot but feel, intrinsically synonymous), Dr. LIVINGSTONE is now gradually aiding in accom plishing in regard to the interior of the vast but hitherto, in many parts (at least, by Europeans, at least by civilised man) unpenetrated African con tinent. Eventually, of course, the thing is to be done there as elsewhere. And if by no other means, it will, first of all, be effected by the bringing together of the extremest points of the routes tra versed by different geographical enquirers—here, by a Du CITAILLU or a BUXTON, here by a BRUCE or a LIVINGSTONE. Rapidly, bit by bit, the vague portions of MER CATOR'S Chart of the World—that Chart, by the way, which is about the nearest approach yet made to the Squaring of the Circle —rapidly, we say, bit by bit, the blanks up on Mercator are bein g filled up by those etching needles of inexorable precision, guided by the science of geographers and hydrographers as skilled and as reliable as the Member for Bodmin, or as the author of the Phy sical Atlas, as Mr. JAMES WYLD, or as Mr. ALEX ANDER JOHNSTON. Gradually, in this world, there is no room being left for romancing. The Ultima Thule proves to be close at hand and perfectly accessible. Armorica, that beautiful old-world dream-land of the fugitive Britons, dwindles down centuries ago into the still picturesque, no doubt, but extremely matter-of-feet Brittany —not the least in the world like what it was once believed to be according to HOMER and PLUTARCH, namely, (among other things) the region where SATURN was kept in durance by JUPITER, and the equally mar vellous site of the mythical garden of the dragons and the golden apples of the Hesperides. Places where the imaginations of the old poets and mythologists expatiated and ran riot, are now accurately surveyed for engineering purposes by uupoetical men armed with a chain and a theodolite. Insomuch is this system extending itself far and wide over the globe, that one hardly cares any longer to localise any scene peopled, in prose or verse by creatures of the imagination. One has a reluctance in this way, for example, to recognise in the island of Juan Fernandez, the veritable abode of that alter ego of ROBINSON CRUSOE, the involuntary recluse ALEXANDER SELKIRK. We prefer, in regard to all these strictly hypothetical regions, to fix them in that very vague whereabouts 'ycleped No Man's Land—regions, let us say, like those up in the clouds at the top of JACK'S Beanstalk. Besides, it is hardly worth while, in this age of steam and electricity, of iron ships afloat and of iron roads ashore to go in quest (let, us suppose) of the island of Prospero—even for that matter seriously to identify the homes of SCYLLA and CHARYBDIS with those vexatious Straits of Messina, where they would be looked for in vain —or, again, to seek the immemorial Pillars of HERCULES upon either shore, here African, here European, of the Gut of Gibraltar. Turning to any one of the more ancient maps or charts of the earth as it was formerly known but very partially—before the notion of a globe had been dreamt of, and therefore by necessity before any clue whatever had been offered towards the dis covery of another hemisphere —it is almost in variably observed that the old geographers there indulged their fancies with fantastic " pencillings by the way " of—" gorgons and chimssras dire." About the last of these blanks still left upon Mercator has now to be threaded by a thin line—a devious and tortuous line—running to and fro, northwards, and then back againisouth wards, across the centre of the world's largest island, or, more strictly speaking, its fifth continent—Aus tralia. Yesterday we published in our columns an account of the return to Melbourne, not (unhap pily) "safe and sound," but at any rate still living, and, we will hope, long before this restored again to health as well as to his friends—the sole survivor of the adventurous party of "voyageurs" who set forth in the September Of 1860 upon the famous and now ever -memorable Australian Exploring Expedition. JOHN KING, when the mail left, was the hero of the Hour. And no wonder. A man who had contrived by a display of pluck and en durance to accomplish at last, as JOHN KING has done, what no man has ever been known to have ac complished before him, may well be entitled, after all his hardships, to the hearty congratulations of his fellow-men. Those congratulations he seems to have had from all sides—from his Excellency the Governor and his Worship the Mayor down wards. It matters comparatively little under the circumstances to begin with that the party of which KING was at length the sole survivor in cluded among its members none who could be called in any way, strictly speaking, scientific or phi losophical observers. N'inzporte. To begin with— the thing has been done, the problem has been solved, Australia has been crossed and re-crossed. With that fact, for the moment, we remain contented. The rest can follow. The rest will come, by necessity, and come after wards, Later on we shall learn all about the fauna and the flora of the interior of Australia. We shall obtain information as to its mineral wealth, and as to its geographical peculiarities and characteristics. What we have longed to know for so considerable a period, we now do know for an absolute certainty. We now know that Australia has been traversed from shore to shore, and that the one bold, deter mined traveller who has lived to tell the tale is JOHN KING. How the feat has bean accomplished is a matter for after consideration: At this moment we are satisfied, we repeat, with exulting over the announcement that the thing has been done, and that the heart of Australia is no longer a terra incognita. Americans are for ever protesting that English men cannot understand them or their institutions; of that we are not so sure; we fancy, as impartial bystanders, we often understand them better than they do themselves. But, on the other hand, Mr. GLADSTONE thinks that, at the present time, Ame ricans do not understand us. " I heartily wish," he says, "it were in our power to exhibit to the community of the United States the precise and exact state of feeling that has subsisted in this country ever since the beginning of that tremen dous convulsion which now agitates that continent, and threatens its peace and prosperity." He truthfully describes the general feeling of Eng land at the commencement of the struggle to have been that the prosperity of America was intimately connected with our own commercial prosperity, and that we had, in truth, a selfish interest in the wel• fare of the country. When the struggle began, however, and its proportions became apparent, Mr. GLADSTONE says, " There is no doubt I think of the fact that the thinking men of this country did come to the conclusion that in that war which had com menced the party which was apparently the stronger had committed itself to an enterprise which would probably prove to be entirely beyond their powers. We saw there a military undertaking of tremendous difficulties, and a military undertaking which, if it could be successful, would only be the preface and the introduction to political difficulties far greater even than the military difficulties of the war itself." In that opinion we should have shared from the beginning had we supposed the Northern people could have pertinaciously forced upon their Govern ment the non-emancipation policy. As it became apparent that the clearest military and political ne cessity could not overcome the northern aversion to the innocent negro, we began to share with most others the views indicated by Mr. GLADSTONE. It is these opinions of Englishmen which Mr. GLADSTONE thinks Americans cannot comprehend, and the results could not be better be described than they are by our eloquent finance Minister, through a happy though very obvious illustration. " There is no doubt we know," he observes, " that in private life the same thing constantly happens. It constantly happens that when a man is engaged; with his whole heart and soul upon some enterprise that he thinks ♦ital to his well-being, and when some other person is known to have said that he thinks that enterprise had much better not be undertaken, great offence, great irritability great susceptibility is the result, and a state of things arises, in spite of the inclinations of men themselves, in which there is a predisposition to quarrel and to contention. I believe that it is a true and fair de scription, on the whole, of the state of things be tween England and America at the time when that which is now so well known as the case of the Trent occurred and produced so profound a sensation in this country." Mr. GLADSTONE cannot help adverting to what every one who has only glanced at the American correspondence, is compelled to ask—Why, if the law of the case be as Mr. SEWARD states it, did he not give up the prisoner at once. Most good humouredly our Chancellor of the Exchequer gets over the universal question—" I," says he, am the man, who, if any, ought to complain—lt is I who must have my budget spoiled by Mr. SEWARD'S inconsistency, but I hope the'question will not be put—l mean in Parliamentary phrase the previous question. Let us think of their reception of the Prince of WALES—when men by the thousand, by the ten thousand, by the hundred thousand trooped together from all parts to give him a welcome as enthusiastic—as obViously proceeding from the depth the heart—as if those vast countries had still been portions of the dominions of our Queen. Nor was the past to be remembered only; we must regard their position and conduct as a whole— " Let us look," he said, " to the fact that they are of necessity a people subject to the quick and vehement action of opinion, liable to great public excitement, intensely eager upon the subject of the war in which they are engaged, naturally raised to a high pitch of exultation by hear ing that one of their vessels of war had laid hold upon the Commissioners of the Southern States, whom they re garded simply as rebels—let us look to the fact that in the midst of that exultation, and in a country where the principles of popular government and of democracy are carried to extremes—that even there, in this state of struggle for life and for death as they think it to be— that even there, while ebullitions were taking place all over the country of joy and exultation at this capture—. that even there, this popular and this democratic Govern ment has, under the demand of a foreign Power, written these words—for they are the closing words in the despatch of Mr. SEWARD—" the four commissioners will be cheer fully liberated." Let us take those words, I say, without minute criticism upon anything that may have passed at former times, and may have been open to a difference of view. Let us accept them with thankfulness to the ALMIGHTY for having removed an apparent cause of deadly collision, in which the hearts of the people of this country were united as the heart of man to defend, in all circum stances and to all extremities, the honour of the British flag, and to discharge the duty of protection to those who had placed themselves under its shelter." These are at least generous sentiments, and if they be but reciprocated, as they should be, from the other side, may soon bring about a considerable change of feeling here. We can well afford to forget and forgive many things, but we are en titled to ask that they be not repeated. Forgive ness is useless when it is certain that the offences will be renewed. We can most heartily shake hands with Mr. SEWARD over his cheerful sur render of the prisoners. We can even excuse his verbose despatch written for America, not for England, and necessary probably there; but, he must permit us with perfect good nature, to justify ourselves and to repudiate his legal reasonings, and his worse obiter dicta, and not s uppose that we are desirous of prolonging a mere wa r of words. For nothing have we less inclination. SEPTENNIAL AV_ERAGES.-TITHE co3rmUTATIO Y TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

LATEST NEWS. AMERICA. ---~ - QUEENSTOWN, JAN. 14. The Royal Mail steam-ship America, from New York on the Ist inst., arrived here at 8 a.m., with 24 passengers and 56,866 dols. in specie for England. She landed 71 sacks mails and three passengers, and proceeded to Liverpool at 8.30 a.m. All well. She experienced very rough weather on her passage home. NEW YORK, DEC. 31. (Per America, via Queenstown.) The excitement in regard to the Trent question has materially subsided. Since the settlement of the Trent affair the Ame rican press has been much more moderate in its tone towards England. Messrs. Mason and Slidell will proceed to Europe in the steamer Niagara, which sails from Boston in a few days. The New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, and the leading banks throughout the country, have stopped specie payments. Several New York banks, however, continue to pay specie. The United States Treasury has also suspended specie payments. The interest on the public debt due on the Ist of January will, however, be paid in specie, but the demand notes are no longer redeemed. PARIS, JAN. 14. The Paris papers of to-day publish a telegram from Alexandria, dated 12th inst., announcing that the French Consul at Tripoli, in Syria, had obtained satisfaction on account of the recent ill-treatment by the Turks of some of those persons under the pro tection of France. TURIN, JAN. 14. The Italia has news from Naples announcing that the brigands having been vigorously pursued and hemmed in in the Capitanta, had sought refuge in the mountains of Gargano, whence they made sallies, keeping the country in a state of alarm. The Government, however, have taken measures by which it is hoped tranquillity will soon be restored. The official Gazette of to-day, alluding to the opening of the Rifle Association, says :—" Gari baldi much regretted that he was unable to be present on the occasion." MADRID, JAN. 13 (Evening). The Spanish Government has given orders that the Sumter shall be watched, in order to prevent her taking arms and ammunition on board. M. de Rances has been appointed Envoy Pleni potentiary to the Prussian Court, and M. de Rason' Envoy Plenipotentiary to the Federal Diet Frankfort-on-Maine. TURIN, JAN. 13. • The Turin papers of this morning publish a speech of the Prince Royal on the occasion of the inauguration of a local society. His Royal Highness said, " Italy needs to be sure that on the day of the struggle she will find a soldier in every citizen." FRANCE.

No measures of importance had been introduced since the last packet, either by the Government or private members. There had been an unusual stir in the city and Port Royal, owing to the presence at the latter place of a portion of the allied squadron on the Mexican expedition. There were 15 war steamers in Port Royal at one time, of which six were French. Among the Eng lish vessels was the St. George, with his Royal Highness Prince Alfred on board. The Prince visited the city incognito on the 23d, and pro ceeded to Spanish Town, where he was entertained at the King's House by his excellency the Gover nor. O❑ entering the town in an open carriage the Prince was recognised and loudly cheered as he drove to the viceregal palace. The news of the outrage on the Trent had caused much excitement, and the idea of a war between England and the Federal Union was by no means unpopular. Business had been more brisk, the influx of country people considerable, and the traffic upon the Jamaica railway unprecedented. A large quan tity of coffee had been brought down by the moun tain settlers and disposed of for cash, and the haber dashery stores had also been doing a good trade. Matters generally bore a more hopeful aspect, and, with a good season, the coming year was looked forward to prove a prosperous one. Most of the sugar states were taking off their crop, and the yield generally was beyond what was expected. From the Pacific coast of South America the news is very barren. Her Majesty's steamer Came leon arrived at Valparaiso from England on the 2d December; the United States' steamship Wyoming was at Paita on the 17th. The country of Bolivia continued in a state of anarchy. The people of La Paz had availed them selves of an attempted revolution in favour of General Fernandez, headed by Colonel Balza, to re venge themselves on General Yanez for his assassi nations the month previous. Yanez was killed by the Cholos, and his body dragged through the street. Several of his officers were also murdered. In the attempt of Balza about 100 persons were killed, and he himself badly wounded. He finally took refuge in the house of the United States Mini ster. Fernandez in the south was in arms, in con junction with Morales, but a force had gone against them. It was not thought that President Echa would be overthrown. RAILWAYS. Cash. Account.

She brings in all 60 passengers ; specie value £96,446, of which £32,780 is gold bullion, £2,868 gold coin, £43,886 silver bullion, £8,102 silver coin; pearls, £1,600 and platina, £7,210. Her cargo comprises 73 serons cochineal, 99 serons indigo, 127 serous bark, 1,476 bags cocoa, 3 bales tobacco, 148 casks coffee, 32 live turtle, two cases shells, 95 bales Indiarubber, 226 bags silver ore, and 174 packages sundries. Her Majesty's ship Donegal, 99 guns, sailed from Jamaica for Bermuda on the 23d, and the troop• ship Himalaya for Portsmouth, on the same date. The French and English fleet left Jamaica for Vera Cruz on Dec, 23. Her Majesty's ship Cadmus arrived at St. Thomas from Martinique on the 26th. She sailed for Ear badoes on the 29th. The United States war steamer Quaker City, from New York, via Bermuda, arrived at St. Thomas on the 27th, with orders for the recall of the Commander of the United States sloop Iro quois. The Barbadoes House of Assembly met on the I 17th. No business of importance transpired. The old canes continued to improve, and the prospects of the crop very enouraging. The reaping was ex pected to commence early in January. There has been no additions to the shipments of produce since the last mail. The prices of breadstuffs had ad vanced ; stocks of all kinds were light. Exchange on London : Bank bills,'at 30 days, 4921 dols. ; 60 days, 490 dols. ; 90 days, 4872 dols.

The preparations at Trinidad for the public reception of Prince Alfred were being pushed for ward with vigour. The weather was less favour able to the planters. The health of the island ex hibited but little evidence of improvement. The daily mortality continued excessive. The Council of Government met on the 19th. The business transacted is totally devoid of interest. The first arrival of coolies from Calcutta took ? place at Trini dad on the 19th in the Tyburnia ; she was 109 days on the passage. Dysentery made fearful ravages in the early part of the voyage. The commercial intel ligence from the island is unimportant. The Demerara Court of Policy met on the 16th and 17th ult. His excellency laid over a despatch from his Grace the Duke of Newcastle relative to the importation of liberated Africans. The ship Gitana, the first of the immigrant fleet for the season, had arrived with 396 coolies. Great anxiety was felt in the colony as to the result of the outrage on the Trent, and the course decided upon by the British Government. The weather continued wet and showery, and trade exceedingly dull. Imports had not been excessive, and breadstuffs had improved a shade in price. Produce was plentiful, the demand f or th e United prices States had subsided, and declined in conse quence. The exports during th e f ortn i g h t were — Sugar : 2,816 hhds, 152 tres, 1,158 b r l s, 88 bags. um : 959 puns, 123 hhds, 55 brls. Molasses B ORGAN PERI 011111 A N CR. The lovers of music had an unusual pleasure afforded them last week, when a grand performance on the new organ of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, was given by Mr. Willing, organist at the Foundling. The new instrument combines, in a remarkable degree, power and softness of tone, and its qualities were ably displayed by Mr. Willing's skilful play ing. He was equally effective in the varied music of Weber's overture to " Oberon," in the soft adagio of Spohr's quartett, and in the resounding strains of Men delssohn's famous " Wedding March." Selections from Handel, Beethoven, Costa, and Haydn filled up the pro gramme, and the fixed attention of the numerous audience proved how highly the musical treat was appreciated. The organ has been built by Messrs. Bevington, and was pre sented by the Duke of Bedford to the parish church, where it will long be a source of gratification to the numerous congregation, even under less able hands than those of Mr. Willing. ST - ONE BLOCKADES, The following curious despatch, written more than half a century ago, appears in a contem- porary : (MOST SECRET.) Downing-street, 9th February, 1804. Sir,—lt being thought advisable under the present cir cumstances of the war, that an attempt should be made for carrying into execution the project suggested in the enclosed paper for choking up the entrance into the harbour of Bou logne; and the success of such an enterprise depending in a great measure upon the secrecy and despatch with which the preparations may be made, I have the King's commands to signify to you his Majesty's pleasure that you do take these preparations under your immediate control, and that you communicate confidentially with Mr. , supplying him with such funds, and giving him such orders for the pur chase of vessels, and providing the stone and other materials which you may judge necessary to be embarked, as shall be requisite for accomplishing the object in view. The ad vances you may have occasion to make for this service will hereafter be replaced by the treasury. As soon as the ves sels shall be sufficiently laden, you will give instructions that i bey should proceed with all possible expedition to the Downs, where all further orders will proceed from Lord Keith.—l am, Sir, you most obedient servant, HOBART. To Sir A. S. Hammond, Bart., Comptroller of the Navy. [The case referred to in the above letter is not parallel with 'that of Charleston. Boulogne was virtually then, not a commercial, but a naval harbour. Were the French to choke up Portsmouth harbour, or we to choke up Cherbourg, in the event of a war between the to countries, it would be quite justifiable. But, were Liver pool or Havre the harbours it was attempted to destroy civilisation would cry open shams at the attempt. Charle ston is not a naval arsenal, but a commercial port.—ED. The Marquis of Salisbury is entertaining a shoot ing party at Hatfield House, Herts. Tho Marquis and marchioness and family come to town on the sth of next month for the season. The Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn will shortly leave Baron's Court, county Tyrone, for Brocket Hall, Hants. Lieut.-Colonel Cuddy has left town for Ireland, on a visit to his brother-in-law, John Claudius Beresford, Esq., cousin to the Most Honourable the Marquis of Waterford. 32D LIGHT INFANTRY.—His Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief has been pleased to direct-Mr. W. Henry Brogden to leave his regiment, for the purpose of undergoing a course of musical instruction at Kneller Hall, Middlesex, to afford him the position of bandmaster, according to an order dated Horse-Guards, 23d December, 1861. Messrs. Seyton and Wainwright, of New York, observe that the possibility that the large Government ex penditure may result in the suspension of specie payment contributes to sustain prices in the stock market. NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—The C. Matthews, at Port'and, from Matanzas, reports that on Dec 8, in the latitude of Savannah, in 40 fathoms water, she was boarded by a boat from the Eliza Bonsall, of Charleston, under British colours. The officer reported that they were trying to get into Savannah, off which port they had been for four days, and that the previous day they had seen the Great Republic and three American men-of-war, but were not spoken. Three days afterwards, off Cape Hatteras, the C, Matthews was spoken by the gunboat Ituske, bound south, the commander of which, on the above facts being stated, said he would look after the case. The Eliza Bonsall, when last seen, was standing north, with the wind east. The Eliza Bonsall, Stalker, sailed from Liverpool on the 14th of October. TOTAL WRECK OF Two FOREIGN V ESSELS IN THE CHANNEL—DOVER SAILORS' HOME, Monday.—At 11 this morning the captain, his wife, and daughter, and the crew of the Dutch schooner Pelican, laden with wheat from Trieste for Antwerp, and which sprung a leak and sunk in raid-ehannel in the late gales, were landed at Dover from the brig Eliza Jane, of Shoreham. This vessel stood by the Pelican until all hands were picked up, and then brought them on to Dover, where they will all be taken care of at the Sailors' Home, and be forwarded to London to-morrow. They all speak of the great kindness of Capt. Lelett, of the brig Eliza. The crew of the French lugger Petit Pieare, run down and sunk by an Austrian brig, were also brought to the Sailors' Home in an utterly destitute state. The hon. secretary of the Home has this morning received a very gratifying letter from the French Minister of Marine, expressing the thanks of the Emperor's Govern ment for the efficient services rendered to the crews of 35 wrecked French vessels by the Dover Sailors' Home.

The last mercantile advises from British Colum bia indicate that a large British immigration is much de sired. A letter dated Victoria, Vancouver's Island, the 16th of November, says :—" City business is good, and the town is full of rich miners, many of them with 15,000 to 20,000 dollars, and none with less than 2,000 to 5,000 dols. From all accounts Carriboo is the richest gold country ever known. Almost every one talks of going in the spring, and everyone who talks thus expects to make a fortune. There will be a great rush, no doubt. Every man with industry may ))0 sure of a few thousands of dollars in the season."
