Creditors to meet within the Rose and Thistle Hotel, Countv-place, Paisley, 27th September, at Two o 'Clockdinburg,h Gazette, of Tuesday, 20th "It may be necessary, for the information of commer cialnon readers, to remark that the firma J. & T. COATS & Co., Sewing Cotton Manufacturers, Paisley, which appeared in the Gazette' on Tuesday, has no connection with the eminent and wealthy not of J. & P. COATS, of Ferguslie, near Paisley, and has not even a partner of the name of Coats in it. The title of the bankrupt firm was a TIM of the most unjustifiable kind, and one to which the Messrs. COATS have more than once been subjected. They had lately to defend themselves against a similar manoeuvre in America, and were successful. The Paisley concern appears to have quit , deservedly ruined itself by its attempts to impose on the public. The great fame of the sewing cotton of the Ferguslie Works is, of course, the explanation of these disgraceful fabrications. The Paisley case is another illustration of the necessity of a registration of firms and partners."—Glasgow Morning Journal of Thurs day, 22d Sept., ' 1859 k _ RED SEA • AND _ INDIA.

By F. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is Ulla production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample - evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of Tpain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

On the day after his return to barracks he was furnished with a new kit, and was ordered to recommence duty, when he was heard to swear that " in spite of the cat, or any ' other punishment, he would make himself too hot for the service." In the evening he made off to the town and sold his necessaries. When brought back to quarters by tke picket he behaved in a most in shbordinate manner. The second prisoner, named Hopki ns , four years in the service, was also picked up in th e town in company with the first-named prisoner, and vowed as he had no relish for the ser vice, no amount of coercion should induce him to rejoin, as his mind was made up to desert. The third, named Marsden, wag captured in Maidstone by the police, after having disposed of the whole of his equipments. The fourth, named Allen, MIS captured in London, having been recognised as a deserter. The fifth, named Hayward, a driver in the depot, was retaken in. Wales, after having made away with his entire outfit of linen, &c. His valise was found refilled with straw. The whole of the pri soners were sentenced to be flogged, and to be im prisoned in Fort Clarence, or one of her Majesty's gaols, for the term of 56 days, with the exception of Marsden, whose term of confinement was ordered to be 84 days. The sentence was read by the adju tant of the corps on public parade, in the presence of the whole available force of the depot. After the ifromulgation of the sentence pronounced by the court-martial, it was further announced that Gen. Dacres, commanding the garrison, according to powers with which he had been intrusted, had been pleased to remit in each individual case the punish ment of the lash, but the imprisonment would be rigidly carried out. The prisoners were yesterday morning transferred to Fort Clarence. Col. Tulloh, superintendent of the Royal Carriage Department of Woolwich Arsenal, was yesterday granted leave of absence by the War Department, at his solicitation, in order to recruit his health, and Major Clerk, -second in command, was ordered to undertake the direction of the department until further orders.

From information obtained in the course of yes terday in quarters the most trustworthy it is now beyond a doubt that the strike, taking a fresh start from recent events, is beginning to assume a new phase, decidedly against the interests of the masters, and placing the inveterate obstinacy and determina tion of the men in a still stronger light. Until now, with a trifling and irregular exception, the contest was confined within the limits of the metropolitan postal area, but the emissaries of the Paviors' Arms Convention have at length crossed the Ticino, so to speak, and are now preparing to engage the enemy on entire'y new ground. " War to the knife ! was the phrase used yesterday by a man who has taken a conspicuous part in the movement from the beginning to symbolise the course of action which the members of the Conference are now reso'Ned to pursue. And among them, at least, however other wise it may be with the masters' executive com mittee, there is no halting or want of unanimity. Keeping for the moment the nine hours' movement in abeyance, they are content to fight the masters simply on the question of "the odious document," being shrewd enough to perceive long ago that their resistance to the employers on that point, irrespective of its merits in their own eyes, has attracted an amount of popular sympathy never accorded to their original demand. The defec tion of the operative masons, sineo the failure of their recent attempt at mediation with the masters, is now more apparent than real. Indeed, an impetus and a life have been communicated to their policy since they took up the quarrel on their " own book," which it never assumed so long as their adhesion to the Strike remained unsanetioned and unsustained by the society at large to which they belong. Divided from the Conference, but only in appearance, by a recent misunderstanding, . they may now be said tofight under the same ban. ner and with a prestige urknown to their previous course of action. Samuel Northam, the chairman of 'their central committee, and Richard Harnett their general secretary, returned on Saturday to Bristol, their "seat of Government," as they call that city, with the full intention of using all their influence with the members of the society at large, some 10,000 in number, to enlist their sympathies with their brethren on strike; and it was understood that a communication would arrive yesterday even ing in London frcm Harnett to be laid before the meeting of the Committee of Masters, to be held this day, to the effect that in the event of their not agree ing, before separating, to abandon the declaration, the whole of the society masons engaged under any of the members of the Central Association at build ing operations in the country, beyond the metropo - - litan postal district, will forthwith be " called off," to use the expression in vogue among society men. Some, however, say that this is more intended as a menace than as indicating a course of action which the masons' executive committee are prepared to re commond and to carry into actual practice. Time will show. Be this as it may, the Paviors' Arms Committee are influenced by no scruples of con - - science in . that matter, for they have already deter mined to have recourse to a similar policy, and have absolutely begun to give practical effect to it, sing line. out Mr. Myers as one of their first victims. ACWoking, where he has bet wt en 100 and 200 men at work in the erection of a prison for invalid convicts, an attempt was made on Friday by some emissaries from the Paviors Arms to decoy them away, but, the police having interfered, the endea vour was abandoned for the time. Yesterday, how ever, it was reported to the committee at the Paviors Arms that 40 or 50 of the men there had left off work and come to London ; and, moreover, that about 30 more in the employ of Messrs. Mansfield and Son, of Henry-street, Gray's-inn-road, in the erection of a large mansion in Hertfordshire, had struck work and returned to town. The committee, it is also said, are about to call off all the men in the service of Messrs. Jackson and Shaw, at their various jobs at Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, and in other parts of the country, unless they consent to the unconditional withdrawal of the declaration among the men at work at the church and monas tery they are now building at Notting-hill, and at other of their operations within the postal district. They are likewise understood to have designs upon the fidelity of the men employed under Mr. Myers at Nel - ley Abbey. This new line of action on the part of the Con ference cuts two ways, and that is a circumstance they have possibly overlooked. Aimed at a vulnerable point in the harness of the masters, it will have a sui cidal reaction against themselves, for, supposing them successful in drawing away the whole or the greater part of the hands now in the employ of the associated masters at works beyond the metropolitan postal district, they immediately convert some thousands of men from being contributors to reci pients of the fund raised weekly for the support of the men on strike; in other words, they will have to sustain an augmented charge with a diminished exchequer. Nothing, as the event has proved, could well have been more ill-advised or indiscreet than the high-handed manner in which the Com mittee of Masters on Tuesday last rejected the offer of reconciliation made to them by the Confer ence. To the merits of that proposal allusion is not now made, but to the contemptuous mode in which it was treated, characterised as that was by an utter want of tact, and calculated still further to estrange men already sufficiently far alienated by this unhappy contest. Forgetting that they themselves were a body deriving, like the Confer ence, a temporary status from the same great emer gency, they twitted them with being an irrespon sible conclave, whose proceedings were illegal and with whom they could have nothing t o d o . Thi s may have been simply true, but mark the result of the ill-timed sally. The Conference immediately appealed against the charge to the great body of working men in the building trades, convened for the express purpose at a large public mesting, who, as a matter of course—for they are extremely popu lar with their own class—endorsed all their pro ceedings by an unanimous vote of confidence ; and, taking new courage from fresh contact with their constituents, the Conference thenceforth continues the agitation with greater vigour and audacity than before. It Ought to be stated on behalf of the mas ters' committee that they allege in justification of their refusal to negotiate with the Conference acts of treachery on the part of that body in previous dealings with them. Yesterday the Conference declared another divi dend for the week of 4s. a man to the whole of the operatives still remaining on strike, and, as usual, 12s. skilled and Bs. unskilled to each of the men who struck work at Messrs. Trollopes'. The ag gregate sum divided was £1,291 4s. among 6,240 men. The amount was £37 less than that paid away on the previous wek, and the recipients were fewer in number by 214.. The result shows that, though the recipients of the fund are becoming less week by week, 6,240 men still continue firm in their refusal to work under the masters' declara tion. It proves, however, that whereas 214 men, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1859. INFANTILE 211ORTALITE Yesterday Mr. Wakley and a highly respectable jury, composed' of inhabitant householders of the neighbourhood, assembled at the Elephant and Castle, Camden-town, to investigate the circum stances attending the death of a female child who was alleged to have died from violence, after being certified as " still born." The investigation was of a highly important character, in connexion with the recent startling ' disclosures respecting the mysterious and suspicious disposal of the bodies of children under the deno mination of " still born," and the greatest interest therefore attached to the proceedings. The body when viewed by the jury exhibited all the appear ance of a finely-developed healthy child, and was much above the ordinary size of newly-born infants. Mary Anne Culverhouse, the first witness called, deposed that she - was a professional nurse, and resided in the Bagnigge-wells-road. She was pre sent at the deceased child's birth on Sunday, the 25th ult. The mother's name was Maria Williams. She was a married woman, and the wife of a smith. The child was born at a quarter past twelve in the afternoon, and Mr. Wicker, a medical gentleman, was in attendance at the time. She (witness) was certain the child never breathed in this world. When born it was dead. Mr. Wicker took the child from the mother. After the birth everything was done to make the child breathe, but there was not the slightest sign of life. No instruments were used throughbut the confinement. Mr. W. T. Coster, resident medical officer at St. Pancras workhouse, deposed that he made an examination of the body on Thursday last in the pre sence of Dr. Hillier, medical officer of health for the parish. The body was that of a child eight pounds in weight, or a little more, and well nourished. The average weight of new-born children was six pounds and a half. The head appeared to have been bruised, and on removing the scalp, he found an effusion of blood over the skull. The left parietal bone had been indented and fractured. (Mr. Coster produced the portion of skull alluded to, which was greatly indented as by external violence.) There was likewise an extravasation of blood between the skull and the dura mater, but no ap pearance of extravasation beneath the latter. On examining the chest, he found the lungs inflated, the heart and thymus gland floated together in water, and there was little or no decomposition. He used pressure on the lungs, but they would not sink, and they were, in fact, inflated to the margins. Coroner—Was he certain that the air in the lungs was not produced by decomposition ? Witness—Yes ; for the only evidence of decom position about the body was a blueness about the lips. Examination resumed—The heart, the lungs, the stomach, and all the organs of the body appeared natural.. He saw nothing abnormal whatever. The umbilical cord had been tied. He believed the child bad breathed. That was certain ; but he could not say if it breathed before or when entirely separated from the mother. Coroner—Was he in a position to state the cause of the death ? He should say the injury to the head would be incompatible with its living. The injury to the head, with other causes, perhaps might be the cause of death. Coroner—The injury to its head was sufficient to produce death ? Witness—Yes. Cross-examined—The child had breathed no doubt, but the law sets down that a child to be born alive must have a separate existence from the mo ther. It was possible for the injury to the skull to be caused in the mother's delivery, but he could not say how it was really produced. Mr. James "Wicker, Registered General Practi tic:our, of 25, Argyle-square, who attended the mother in her confinement, and subsequently certi fied to the child's being " still born," was next called, and after describing the labour as an exceed ingly tedious and protracted one, he said that the child's head was born a quarter of an hour before itsshoulders, and when it was at length fully born it was as inanimate as stone. He tried the Mar shall Hall system for resuscitating the child,but there was no appearance of life, and it was as " still born" as any child ever was. Coroner—He (Mr. Wicker) had heard the evi dence of Mr. Coster as to the breathing ; had he reason now to doubt that the child had breathed ? Witness—He (the Coroner) was aware, and in deed Professor Taylor, in his Medical Jurisprudence, one of the best authorities in the matter, stated the fact, that one inspiration in the course of birth would inflate the lungs. Coroner—Quite so. One or two inspirations were sufficient to do so, but how did he account for the fracture ? The witness replied he could not account for it. Coroner—lt was evidently occasioned during lite, from the appearance of extravasation of blood between the dura mater and the skull. He (Mr. Wicker) had said that the mother was at times very violent. Did he think in her agony she could her self have made the indentation—say with her thumb ? Witness—lt was before the head was born that she was violent. She did not move about after wards. He could therefore in no way account for the violence about the head. After some further remarks, The Coroner observed that the case was a very curious one, and the question respecting the mode of certifying in cases of still-born children had lat terly, he was glad to see, attracted public attention and it yet demanded a great deal more. No one acquainted with Mr. Wicker's position would, in the present case, suppose anything wrong on his part; but that gentleman, knowing, as he did, the awful destruction of infant life that was now too fre quent, would, he (the Coroner) felt sure, be con vinced that too many inquests could not be held, and that the most searching inquiries were de manded. Indeed, the destruction of infant life in the metropolis was truly awful to contemplate. Now in that case there was a fine child, much above the ordinary size, certified as "still born." The skin had the decided appearance of death from asphyxia, and the question had arisen--Was the child still born or not ? It was quite evident the child had breathed, either after birth or during de livery, and a fracture was discovered that was not known to the medical gentleman in attendance. Mr. Wicker could not complain under the circumstances, at the inquiry being held. That gentleman had given his evidence, and stated that the child did not breathe after the birth, and every one would there fore be satisfied on that point ; but that it did breathe during its passage into the world no one could deny after hearing Mr. Coster's evidence. Now he would ask Mr. Wicker to give his opinion as to the cause of the death—was the child suffo cated in its passage into the world, or did it die from the effects of the injury described, and if from the injury, how was that caused ? Mr. Wicker said, in reply, that when he left the room, after the delivery, he did so with the firm conviction that it was a stillborn child. He had no idea at that time that its head was injured. He used no instruments, and no unusual force incon sistent with an ordinary delivery. He did not hand the child over to the nurse, so that she could not have let it fall, but it lay on the bed all the time. The Coroner then, in summing up, remarked that there could be no doubt but that the child's death arose from the violence on the head, which must, after the evidence of Mr. Wicker, have been caused by some means accidentally. It was a great matter for the jury to be satisfied in such cases that it was not the criminal act of any person, for the difficulties in determining the cause of death ap peared almoo insurmountable, and be was sorry to think of theliumber of lives that might be wilfully destroyed without the means of the guilty party be ing detected. He had no doubt hundreds of lives were so sacrificed every year. The Coroner then ex plained the means by which children could be easily destroyed and rendered " still-born," even to the eye of an experienced anatomist, without the real truth being elicited that they were wilfully murdered, and, he added, it was a dreadful thing to consider that child ren might be so di s p ose d o f w ith ou t their being able to prove anything in the case. There fore he considered it behoved them to hold the most searching investigations, in order to try and pre- vent a wholesale destruction of infantile life and to protect the poor little creatures. The Coroner further, in conclusion, said, that in that case he believed the jury could come to no other conclusion but if the child died from the v i o l ence th a t it was purely accidental and no one was t o bl ame . The Jury concurred with the Coroner, and at once recorded a verdict of accidental death. The Coroner, at the conclusion of the case, added that the statute which was now sup posed to. give a protection to infants was no protection in reality at all. By the 9th 'George IV., chap. 31, sec. 14, the words of the act were as fol lows :—" Be it enacted that if any woman shall be delivered of a child, and shall, by secret burying or otherwise disposing of the dead body of the said child, endeavour to conceal the birth thereof, every such offender shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and luting convicted thereof, shall be liable to be imprisoned, with or without hard labour, in the common gaol or house of correction for any term not exceeding two years ; and it shall not be neces sary to prove whether the child died before, at, or after its birth." There was no protection in this for the life rf the child; and he thought this could be only gained by the woman being required to have sonic person present at the moment of de livery: The prevent state of the law did not pro tect infant life, and something ought to be done at once by the Legislature. The proceedings then terminated. POST-OFFICE INQUISITION. The followiag extraordinary series of questions put to the subordinates of the Liverpool Post-office is extracted from a late number of the ( ivil Service Gazette : "P. 0., Liverpool, Aug. 24. " For Mr. —, who I request will carefully answer the following questions, for the information of the Postmaster-General : " 1. Where do you resiele? "2. What rent do you pay ? what taxes ? " 3. Do you pay the rent quarterly, monthly, or weekly? "4. Have you any income beside that received in your official capacity here, or do you carry on or share profits in any kind of business. If so, state particulars P "5. What family have you ? If you have any children state their ages, and whether any of them is in employment; and if so, the wages received, and by whom employed ? " 6. Did your expenditure for the year ended 31st July last exceed your income ? If so, what amount? " 7. State as near as 3on can the principal items of expenditure, and what caused the excess ? " 8. State the amount of your debts, and to whom they are owing ? " 9. From whom have you borrowed money dur ing the last two years ? When did you borrow it, and has any portion of it been repaid ? Have you undertaken to repay debts by weekly instalments or otherwise ? " 10. Have you lent money to any person in this office ? If so, state his name, the amount, and when the transaction occurred ; also, whether such money or any portion of it, has been repaid ? " 11. Are you a bondsman for any person (whe ther connected with this office or not) who has bor rowed money from a loan society ? If so,' state his name, address, the sum you are surety for, and when the loan was contracted ; also the name of the society from which the loan was obtained ? " 12. State the circumstances fully which led to your present pecuniary circumstances ?" (From the Times.) In former days we were fond and proud of boast ing that in this favoured land " every man's house is his castle:" This phrase was supposed to imply that some peculiar privileges were possessed by the owner or tenant of a small brick quadrilateral in England which were not enjoyed by the proprietor of a French appartement, or by the unfortunate possessors of mansions in foreign - countries. Some how or other this axiom seems to have gone out of fashion. Tax-gatherers, Income-tax Commission &s, Wide-street Commissioners, Sanitary Officers, and a host of social police and small inquisitors, have been gradUally sapping up to the castle, and it is now so battered, breached, and undermined by their assaults, that the garrison are alrilost driven to surrender, and if they have not quite struck their flag, have at all events furled it round the staff, and cease to shout the war-cry in the efficacy of which they had such firm reliance. The State, for great purposes of its own, may have found it convenient to permit or authorise those assaults on our strongholds, but we must not allow them to be invested by banditti or by the free lances in the pay of " Heads of Departments." There is a vague notion in the minds of most of us that an income-tax return is an infraction of Magna Charts and the Bill of ltights, and we sign it with the feelings of a man who has been coerced to cut off an entail or to part with a bit of his birth right. But Parliament has sanctioned the outrage. We bow to necessity, which knocks at our doors armed with all the powers of the law. It would be a monstrous-insult to Englishmen to insinuate that they were no better than French men, or Austrians, or Russians in all that relates to the privacy of their lives or the secrets of their domestic economy. While undergoing the most harassing attacks from all sorts of official inquiries, we are buoyed up by the happy consciousness that we are a free people, that we never will be slaves, and that in theory, if not in practice, our private residences are fortified by the most formidable works, which enables the inmate to deem insolent curiosity or aggression on liberty impracticable. If in the fulness of our confidence and affection we sacrifice for a time some portion of our rights, it is our consolation to know that the act is our own, and that we have constitutiopallv assisted in the deliberations of the great Council of the State at which it was resolved th a t th e sacr ifice - should be accomplished. An Englishman may suffer much in this way—he may open his veins and bleed away to death in a bath of taxation ; but he will die a hundred deaths to prevent any one interfering with the mode of his suicide. To stigmatise the income tax as " iniquisitorial" is enough to condemn it. It exists because it is an inevitable necessity just at present. All forms and appearances and workings of an inquisitorial spirit are to us abominable and hateful. We have the deepest pity for those who are subject to its operations ; we thank Heaven we are not as they are. Our sincerest sympathy is excited for the unhappy men who are followed to their cafes by Vidocqs, who are haunted by sprites in cocked hats and swords. and whose words, uttered in the abandon of can sucre and dominoes, are taken down by recording demons at the next table. Would it not excite the angry surprise and indignation of any Englishman to be told that there were public Departments in which the employes were obliged to make returns to the head clerk, who can have little or no interest in the matter, as to the minutest particulars of their do mestic life—to state, for instance, what was their rent and taxes ; whether the rent was paid by the quarter, the month, or the week ; whether they had any income beyond that received officially ; hew many children they had, how old they were, where they were ; if the children were employed, and, if so, what they were paid, and the names of their employers ; if their own expenditure exceeded their income for the last year, and, if so, how much they owed, and to whom they were indebted ; if they had lent any money to their brother employes, or were sureties for any one, and, if so, who that one was ? " Where," he would ask, " can this inquisi tion be tolerated ? Is it in Austria, in Naples, or in Russia ?" Why, no ; it is in England, and in the first port of the kingdom. The fact is that the Post-office, which is estab lished for the diffusion of information, seems to be possessed lately by an insatiable thirst for know ledge for its own particular use and ends. " The proper study of mankind is man." The proper study of a Postmaster is a post-office clerk. We do not say to the sufferers, " Thank Rowland Hill for this ;" for, so far as our information goes, the inquisition to which we refer has not erected the rack in any town but Liverpool. But the docu ment, which will be found in another place, is said to be issued by the authority of the Postmaster- General. We all remember that a year ago the subordinate officers in this Department were driven into rebellion in London itself by the petty an noyances of the authorities. We are all ready to acknowledge the services of Mr. Rowland Hill, but we do not think that he has in virtue of them any right to torture the public servants under his control. We don't permit our Nelsons to hang our Quartermasters, or our Wellingtons to flog our Corntts of Horse. The bureaucratic spirit is repugnant to our feelings. The surveillance exercised abroad over all classes of citizens is not suited to the genius of English e General without a murmur. We have c onsented to submitted i i t t te i s neither e necessarylittle caprices nor e n o d r u t r h a e b P I c o . s l t V ni e wi h t a e s r • the introduction of a new improvement in the way of receiving our letters, which is now in some mea -eehebsozedan a lame ae knowledge, and of acquaint ance with arbitrary geographical divisions on the sduorneodreseiinuilnelitnsoenloticiaelpossession of a map of Lon atWhnishab‘ threatened with pains and penalties in case we don't :‘ have art been ifs- le _ the r subjectaud.

What action, we should like to know, can be taken on the replies to such questions ? What authority is there on the part of the Post master to put them ? Would he dare to dismiss any officer who refused to answer them ? It is altogether monstrous and intolerable that those who are enti tled, in the discharge of their duties, to the confi dence and support of their chiefs should be exposed to the covert insults and degrading suspicions which are implied by these inquiries on the part of the heads of the Department which they serve The Post-office may carry, but it cannot pass, an Act of Parliament, and Mr. Rowland Hill himself would have our warm support if he were dismissed for refusing to tell the Postmaster-General " what he had for dinner last Sunday," or to communicate to that Min:.ster any information-as to his tailor's residence or the amount of his rent, or how old his eldest daughter was. We trust we shall hear no more of such outrages on the rights of private life on the part of the Post-office, or of any other De partment. 7.71 E NAVY. Her Majesty's ship Antelope was yesterday ad mitted into the basin at Woolwich, to be stripped and paid off. The result of the survey held on the two mortar vessels„Nos. 31 and 48, intended for operations in China, which were taken into the first dock at Chatham, has fully justified the opinion originally formed of their state, the bottoms of each having been found infested with the marine worm, which has committed very extensive ravages in the tim bers of the hull. The two vessels have accordingly been floated out of dock, and will be hauled up on one of the ship-ways in the dockyard, where they will be thoroughly scraped and cleaned by the con victs, after which the bottoms of each will be left exposed to the winter's frosts, which are found to be a most efficacious remedy for destroying the marine insect. The other mortar boats which will be re quired for service will also be docked and surveyed, and, if found necessary, they will be treated in a similar manner An Admiralty order was yesterday promulgated at Chatham Dockyard, directing that the whole of the labourers at work in that dockyard on the fac tory systmi, and who are emploped 10 hours a-day, are to have their wages advanced to 15s. per week. Mr. Miller, of Liverpool, is now building two gunboats, to be called the Pelican , and Steady, which he has had in hand during the last two months. Considerable progress has been made since they were laid down, and it is expected they will be ready for launching in December. They will be fitted with engines of 80 horse-power by Napier, of Glasgow, and are intended' to carry one 95cwt. pivot-gun and four 241 b. carrona,des. From the fineness of their lines great speed is expected from them. Their draught of water when fully equipped will be 9 feet 3 inches forward, and 11 feet 6 inches aft. The engines and boilers will be below the loading line, and entirely out of the reach of shot. Their dimensions are as f illows :—Length between perpendiculars, 145 feet; length for ton nage, 127 feet 10. inches ; breadth, extreme, 25 feet 4 inches ; breadth, moulded, 24 feet 6 inches ; depth of hold, 13 feet; tonnage per builders' measure ment, 425 14-94ths. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—C. P. Field, Assistant-Paymas ter to the Encounter; J. W. R. 13. Galsworthy, As sistant-Paymaster to the Olin ; Samuel M. Spry, Master's-Assistant to the Beagle; G. K. Whitehead, Master's-Assistant to the Perseverance; and G. H. Downing, Master's-Assistant to the Nautilus. THE ARMY. The authorities at the Horse Guards having de cided on forming a battalion at Devenport com posed of the depots of those regiments which are now in England having just returned from India, the depots of the Ist ttalion of the 10th Regi ment, and the 32d Light Infantry, have already been removed to that station, and the depot com panies of the 29th Regiment, now encamped at Chatham, will vacate the tents at that garrison this morning, and proceed direct to Plymouth to aug ment the battalion. The head-quarters of each of the above regiments have recently returned from India. By the proposed arrangement the depots of each of the British regiments will not be attached to the head-quarters of their respective corps, the whole forming a separate battalion, similar in all respects to the Indian depot battalion formed at Chatham and some other garrisons. The head-quarters of the 29th Regiment, num bering 403 rank and file, arrives at Preston, in Lancashire, on Friday. This regiment left Eng land early in 1842, took part in the campaign on the Sutlej in 1845-6, and greatly distinguished it self in the battles of Fcrozeshali and Sobraon. It also took an honourable part in the whole of the Punjab campaign of 1848 9, and was present at the forcing of the passage of the Chenah at Wuzeera bad, and the battles of Chillianwallah and Gooje rat. The regiment escaped the carnage of the Indian mutiny, in consequence of one wing being stationed at Calcutta during the outbreak of the Sepoy troops, and the other wing being at Burmah at the time. The 16th Lancers left Piershill Barracks, Edin burgh, last week, in successive divisions, and marched by easy stages to Leeds. They are to be replaced at Piershill and Hamilton by the 13th Light Dragoons, who are expected to arrive from Ireland this wee k.l The head-quarters of the 9th Royal Lancers, con sisting of four troops, arrived at the St. David's station, Exeter, from Portsmouth, on Saturday evening. The men left Portsmouth at half-past eight o'clock in the morning, and it was expected that they would have arrived in Exeter early in the afternoon. With the view of giving this dis tinguished corps a hearty, popular welcome, the members of the Exeter Rifle Companies, under the command of Adjutant Macdonald, mustered in the Castle-yard, and marched to the railway station, preceded by the band of the First Devon Militia. The band of the First Devon Yeomanry Cavalry was also in attendance at the station. Several thou sands of people were present in eager expectation of the arrival of the soldiers; but they had to wait from two o'clock in the afternoon until seven in the evening. By that time the platform of the St. David's Station was crowded by the officers of the depot of the 9th Lancers (which has been for a long time stationed at the Exeter Barracks), the mem bers of the Exeter Rifle companies, the two hands, and a number of civilians. Outside the station there was an immense concourse of people. On the arrival of the train, its gallant occupants were greeted by shouts of applause, again and again re peated, from the persons on the platform ; and the bands struck up appropriate military airs. The officers of the depot having warmly greeted their comrades, the men were drawn up in line on the platform, and the muster-roll having been called, they marched out of the statiox for the Topsham Barracks. The road from the station to Queen-street was crowded by thousands of enthusiastic specta tors, who lustily cheered the gallant fellows as they marched along. In Queen-street it was with diffi culty that the men could pass, so great was the erowd. From almost every window signs of wel come were exhibited, and waving of handkerchiefs, loud huzzas, and words of kindly feeling, wereseen and heard in every street through which the men passed to the barracks. Some of the veterans of the regiment (but they were very few in number) had, we understand, left the Exeter Barracks for India 18 years ago. Yesterday the B battery of the Royal Horse Ar tillery, under the command of Capt. Paget, which has been stationed in Aldershott Camp during the summer months, arrived in Colchester on the way to Ipswich. To do honour to this branch of the service the entire strength of the Colchester camp turned out and marched some miles into the coun try to meet the Artillery. There were 3,000 men under arms and in full marching order, consisting of the 9th and 10th Depot B tttalions, under Lieut.- Col. Dixon, C. 8., and Lieut.-Col. Street, C.B. ; the Essex Rifle Militia, under Lieut.-Col. Kelley • ' and the City of Dublin Militia Artillery, under Col. the Hon. R. Handcock. On their return march the Artillery occupied the central position,*and the ap pearance of so formidable a force attracted a large concourse of spectators. The battery will reach its destination this (Tuesday) morning. Yesterday m orn i ng th e volunteers from the Cha tham division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, for the Royal Marine Artillery, who were inspected on Saturday afternoon by Major-Gen. S. It. Wesley, the Deputy Adjutant General, and approved by him, left head-quarters and proceeded to Ports mouth to join that division. A detachment of 40 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Marines also left head-quarters at the same time for Portsmouth, to be in readiness for embarkation in the ships recently commissioned. A garrison court-martial assembled during the latter portion of last week, at the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwick, Lieut.-Colonel Franklyn, Royal Artillery, president, for the trial of five privates of the depot brigade, R.A., on charges of desertion, some of which were attended with cir cumstances of an aggravated nature._ The first ✓- i ( e_ appear to have fos.utd work last 500 did so in the 'week previous; that during the last week the ingly less signs of flinching than one.

Troliope's men 6,210 £1291 8 0 This dividend is in addition to the weekly allow ance which the men on strike receive from their various trade societies, and which varies froin ss. to 12s. The operative masons have commenced a stringent system of surveillance over the members'of their own craft in the country, with the view to prevent them coming to London to fill the places of the men on strike. They have put emissaries on'the track of agents of the masters who are beatinethe coun try for masons in Devonshire and other parts, and they- have " scouts " at all the railway stations in the metropolis watching the arrival of every train, and noting such of the passengers as appear to be long to their own order. Men in the country, it is said, are brought up to London to work under the erroneous belief, founded on stataments of the agents of the masters, made verbally and in the local papers, that the declaration had been withdrawn. Yesterday and on Sunday a successful attempt was made by the masons' committee to tamper with a batch of masons-18 or 20 in number— brought from Tavistock late on Saturday evening by MT. Robjohn, an agent of Messrs. Piper, in Bishopsgate-street. Intelligence of their arrival had been conveyed to the Sun Tavern, in Lambeth, the meeting place of the masons, and thereupon alead ing member of the body proceeded in quest of them. Ile met the party, it is said, leaving a place of re freshment in Smithfield-market, in company of Mr. Robjohn, towards midnight, and dogged him to a private house in Luard-street, Islington, in spite of the remonstrances of Mr. Itobjohn, and an appeal by him to a passing policeman, who on hearing the circumstances, did not think he was justified in in terfezing. From the house in Luard-street they were traced during the night to a coffee-shop in Maiden-lane, king's-cross, and there on Sunday morning and yesterday the influence of the society men was brought to bear on them, the result being that 16, at least, of them, if not more, refused to work at Messrs. Piper's. The meeting of the masters' committee to-day (Tuesday) is looked to with much interest. It is supposed that had the masons evinced a disposition to revise their laws and by-laws, and to expenge the more obnoxious portions of them, the commit-tee would probably have forgone the declaration in their case. But the masons are inflexible on that point, and the masters equally take their stand upon it, and insist on the reasonableness of requir ing that the masons' trade customs and regulations, and notably those relating to working overtime and piecework, shall be made comformable to the spirit of the law of the land, and in harmony with the perfect freedom of the workmen themselves. Money continues to fl iw into the exchequer at the Pavior's Arms to a cohsiderableamount. Among the donations received yesterday were £lOO from the Shipwrights' Society of the port of London, and £lO from the Liverpool plasterers. Mr. Ayrton, M.P. for the Tower Hamlets, had an interview yesterday with Mr. Potter, the Se cretary to the Conference, at the Paviors' Arms, with a view to a mediation, it is understood, be tween the masters and men, but the result, if any, did not transpire. EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL. The official returns of the emigration from the Mersey for the quarter and month ended the 30th of September have just been completed at the Go vernment Emigration-office, and they exhibit a con siderable improvement over the month of August, as well as over the emigration during the corres ponding period of last year. This improvement is observable in all branches of the trade, the number of passengers to the United States, Australia, and the Cape of Good Hope exhibiting a considerable increase; indeed, altogether, the emigration trade has been more active than for many months. ,The total emigration from Liverpool during the month of September, in vessels clearing through the Government Emigration-office, or •" under the Act," amounted to 301 cabin, and 6,700 steerage—of whom 1,700 were English, 300 Scotch, 4,190 Irish, and 500 were natives of other countries, making a total of 7,000 souls, inclusive of cabin passengers; while in the previous n.onth of August the cabin passengers numbered 376, and the steerage 6,346—0 f whom 2,235, were English, 471 Scotch, 3,451 Irish, and 244 werelforeigners, exclusive of 1,344 who sailed in , 4 ‘l short ships," or vessels not " under the Act"—i.e., not subjected to the requirements of the Passenger Act of 1855. In September, 1858, the number of cabin passengers was 393, and steerage 6,976-2,617 of whom were natives of England, 669 of Scotland, 3,313 of Ire land, and 377 of other countries, exclusive of 1,335 in " short ships." To the United States the emi gration, as might be expected, was larger than to any of le colonies—the number of vessels which " cleared" by the Government officers being 18, having on board 245 cabin and 4,300 steerage pas sengers-900 of whom were English, 300 Scotch, and 2,800 Irish, in addition to 300 foreigners; against, in the previous month, 307 cabin and 4,276 steerage passengers-1,360 English, 126 Scotch, 2,572 Irish, and 216 foreigners; and during the corresponding period of 1858, 309 cabin and 4,698 steerage passengers-1,278 English, 213 Scotch, 2,580 Irish, and 318 foreigners. In " short ships" to the United States during the past month the number of passengers was 213. These numbers are totally independent of those carried out by the Cunard Royal Mail, which are not subjected to Government inspection, but include those carried out by the screw steamships trading fortnightly between Liverpool and New York. The emigra tion was briskest towards the middle of the month, when as many as 523 souls were carried out in one vessel, the William Tapscott. Other ships also conveyed large numbers, the Universe 429, and the Chancellor 426 souls. A feature worthy of no tice in these returns is the continuGd increase in Irish emigration from the Mersey, the numbers showing that two-thirds of the entire passenger trade to the United States are composed of natives of Ireland. To . Canada, beyond the passengers car ried out by the mail screw steamships, , which, although they carry steerage passengers, come not " under the Act," there has been no emigration whatever, if we except one " short ship " to Prince Edward's Island, which had only three passengers on board. To the Australian colonies the emigra tion has also considerably improved, . four ships having sailed for Melbourne, with an 'aggregate of 36 cabin and 933 steerage passengers, of whom 304 were English, 125 Scotch, 473 Irish, and 31 were natives of other countries. Miring the previous month three vessels had sailed for Victoria with 54 cabin and 894 steerage passengers-390 English, 152 Scotch, 324 Irish, and 28 foreigners ; and in the corresponding period of 1858, 83 cabin and 1,747 steerage passengers. It may be observed that one ship, the Hilton, which sailed for Melbourne, re turned to port during the past month, and her pas sengers are included in the. above return. She has, however, almost completed her repairs, and will soon be ready for sea. To New South Wales one vessel, the Annie Wilson, sailed during the month with 405 Government emigrants,l67 of whom were English, 49 Scotch, and 189 Irish, against 330 in August. To New Zealand one ship sailed. with 10 cabin and 214 steerage passengers, 126 of whom were English, 28 Scotch, and 60 Irisli,..ngainst 16 cabin and 173 steerage passengers last month. Only one " short ship," carrying 7 pas sengers, was despatched to the Austialian Colonies during the month. To the Cape of Gbod Hope one vessel sailed with 406 passengers-2K English 46,Scotch, and 73 Irish—sent out, at the expense of the Colonial Government; and selected by the Hon. W. Field, the Commissioner in England. Another vessel is ready for sea, and will sail in a few days for the Cape with a large number of pas sengers, also at .the expense_ of the colony. One ship has cleared with troops, &c., for the East Indies ; hut, not being properly under the head of " emi grants," the numbers have been deducted from the aggregate of the returns.
