The Company's operations will embrace three main objects— Ist, That of a Land and Irrigation Company. 2d. That of a Public Works (more especially a Light ing, Paving, and Water Company) ; and 3d. That of a Trust Loan, and Investment C om p an y. The South African Irrigation and Investment Company, in undertaking these varied objects, will meet all the most keenly felt wants of the African Colonies at the present time, and cannot fail to realise to its Shareholders very ample returns on the capital invested. On all Government Irrigation Works to be undertaken by the Company, it will obtain a Government guarantee of six per cent. per annum, it being in contemplation next session of the Colonial Parliament to introduce a bill to facilitate the construction of a series of Government tanks, and to guarantee to the Company on these works such per centago. A similar guarantee of six per cent. per annum ou the Port Elizabeth Water Works is likewise to be pro. vided by act of Parliament; but while the returns on the capital thus invested will, under no circumstances, be less than six per cent. guaranteed, the Directors confidently anticipate that the works will yield much higher dividends, since all water works undertaken by local councils, and the only Gas Company in operation in South Africa have steadily yielded on the capital employed returns varying from 15 to 30 per cent, per annum; and Irrigation Works, constructed by private enterprise on the farms of the coun try, have enhanced their value, according to last Govern ment returns, from five-fold to as high as even ten-fold.

A significant illustration of the reduction which has taken place during the past few months in the number of ships of war in commission has been ma nifested in the issuing of an order from the Admi ralty for the selection and preparation of some of the vessels in the steam reserve at Portsmouth to do duty as hulks, for the reception of seamen return ing fram leave after being paid off from a ship at the end of her term of commission. The guardships at the ports are generally looked upon as fully cap ' able of performing this duty, but the Victory at Portsmouth has had a tender attached to her for some months in the Blonde frigate. Both vessels are now filled up with men, and other and immediate pro vision being required for a large additional number who have been paid off, and also for those about to be paid off, from the Algiers, Arrogant, Amphion, and other vessels, the order referred to is the re sult. A second order issued by the Admiralty di rects the Frederick William, 86, screw, to be held in readiness for commission in May, 1863 ; the Esk, 21, screw, to be made ready for commission by the same date; the Wasp, 16, screw, to be made ready by September, 1863 ; the Bulldog, 6, paddle, also to be ready by the same time as the Wasp; and the Lyra, 9, screw, by October, 1863. The Frederick William is a new ship, and is masted and rigged, and will, therefore, be ready according to order. The Esk, Lyra, and Bulldog are, however, just as they were paid out of commission, and their de fects are so serious that they are just as likely to be condemned and ordered to be broken up by the e time they are ord ere d to b e ready for commission as othuetflyta.reAtonobtheer ordertakn i n relative hand t o t at allrepair fo u r rag oa, n o w or w in No 8 dock , directs " th at she is to be got ready for commission as soon as can be, without interfer ing with other work." All these vessels are on the reserve lists of the port, and their condition illus trates that of the far greater portion of vessels in the reserve. A digest of the four divisions of the reserve at Portsmouth will fully demonstrate the truth of this somewhat startling assertion. To render this as plain as possible it is only necessary to divide each division into " available" and " non available," including in the first named all those vessels supposed to be perfect in hull and machi nery, and in the second all such vessels as req uire repairs to both. In many instances their hulls are a mass of rotten timber fore and aft, and therefore of a class that never, under any circumstances, can become "available" to the public service. Sepa rating the divisions in this manner they stand as follows :-Of the Ist division the available ships are the Duncan, 86 guns, 800-h. p. ; the Frederick William, 86 guns, 500-h. p. ; the Pandora, 4 guns, 80-b. p. ; the Volcano (floating factory), 4 guns, 140-h. p ; eight gunboats (collectively), 16 guns 480-h. p. ; the total being 196 guns and 2,000-h. p.

Hood (1858) for service in the West Indies. She is to have a complement of 275 officers and men, including Marines. The Pylades is fully equipped, and has the whole of her sea stores, sails, &c., on board. Since her return from her cruise in the Pacific she has undergone a very exten sive repair at Chatham dockyard, and is now oneof the strongest and best vessels of her class in the service. An Admiralty order has been received at Chatham to fit Mr. Lumley's patent jointed rudder to the Columbine, 4, 150-horse powar, fitting for the first division of the steam reserve. Should the trials to be made with the Columbine when fitted with the im proved steering apparatus prove satisfactory, the new rudder will be adopted throughout the service, the advantages claimed for the new apparatus by the inventor being that a vessel so fitted possesses the facility of turning in a diameter of little more than har length _ The Cossack, 20, screw steam corvette, 1,296 tons, 250-horse power, has been taken into No. 1 dock, Sheerness dockyard, to undergo extensive repairs. The Terrible, 21, paddlewheel frigate, 1,850 tons, 800 •horse power, has been removed to No. 2 dock in Sheerness dockyard, where she will be tho roughly repaired. The Hero, 89, screw steam line-of-battle ship, Capt. Alfred P. Ryder, is now in No. 3 dock at Sheerness, having her keel repaired, which received injuries from the vessel having run ashore some weeks ago. The Leander, 51, screw steam frigate, 2,760 tons, 400-horse power, is in the basin at Sheerness, being fitted up for the first class steam reserve at Sheer ness, and is nearly compl e ted. The Columbine, 4, screw steamsloop, 669 tons, 150-horse power, is also being brought forward for the first class steam reserve, and both vessels will soon be ready for the pennant.

MR. ALISON JONES 1N AMERICA. A letter from New York saye,—A Mr. Mason Jones, an Irish orator who has lately arrived in this city on a lecturing tour, and whose appeals for patronage are chiefly addressed to his countrymen, delivered a lecture on Wednesday night upon " John Philpot Curran," and unluckily for himself ran his head right against the " irrepressible negro," and got the worst of the encounter. The subj,ct of the lecture was well chosen. Nearly one half of the Judges and the most eminent practitioners at the New York Bar are Irishmen by birth or extraction. Fully one half of the aldermen, common council.. men, and officials of the city are of the same nation. ality. A glance at the Newyork Directory proves from the immense number of O'Briens, O'Donnells, O'Driscolls, O'Flahertys, and other similar entries under the letter " o'," how largely the Irish are represented in trade and commerce. The Hibernian clerks of the Post-office and the Castom-hou*Se are almost as numerous es the American; while a great proportion, if not a majority of the reporters and critics of the daily and weekly press drew their first breath in the Green Isle, and sympathize with re bellion nowhere except in the land of their birth. Under these circumstances, Mr. Mason Jones, who says " he has been hissed in England for advo cating the cause of the North," could not fail, with anything like an adroit preliminary manipulation of the agencies of publicity, to command a large audience. Nor was he disap • pointed. Although the night was wet and foggy, a brilliant and numerous assemblage filled Irving hall to listen to his eloquence. The subject not only included Curran himself, but the wits and ora tors of the Irish bar. The first half of the lecture was received with great favour, and the second half would, doubtless, have excited as much applause had not the lecturer forgotten in the middle of it that he was in America, and not in England ; and had he not been unaware of the fact that between the Irish man and the negro in this country there is a mutual antipathy. Speaking of Curran's defence of Rowan for a libel on the Crown, he quoted the portion of the speech whiclieulogises universal emancipation, and capped the climax of mistake by reciting the well known lines of Cowper which commence with the noble assertion— " Slaves cannot breathe in England." In this the lecturer made a double mistake. He not only expressed an Abolitionist sentiment, but dared to hint, although vicariously, and at second hand, that England could be in anything the superior of America. His ignorance of the country alone re lieved him from the imputation of temerity. Such a quotation might have answered very well in Dr. Cheever's or Mr. Ward Beecher's pulpit, but was not to be endured in a lecture room before a miscellane ous audience of Hibernian sympathies and idiosyn cracies. No sooner were the words uttered than there was an explosion of wrath from every part of the room. A match applied to a keg of gunpowder could not have caused a more sudden or a much more violent outburst. " Imagine," says the Tribune,"an even ing partyall propriety, politeness, and goad humour, suddenly startled by the apparition of a mad bull coming, horns and hoofs, th rough the folding doors. The instant the word ' emancipation' was uttered, up rose some 200 malcontents. Hissing, swearing, bullying, and all sorts of insults followed. A num ber of people hurried out of the room, the ladies looking pale and anxious, lest the fight should begin in their presence. Mr. Jones stood his ground. He hurled back hot words, and proudly hoped the time would soon come when the Ameri can flag would not float over a single slave or record a single crime against human liberty. At this point there were hissing and threatening, and cries of God - him ! Why does he come here to teach us ?" - his lecture !" Don't let him go on ! Crush him ! Stop him ! Turn him out." Order was ultimately restored. The lecturer care fully avoided the " irrepressible negro" during the remainder of his discourse, and concluded in peace. At his next lecture he is not likely to forget his geography, or to fall into the error of imagining that Irishmen and Americans in New York can listen with as much patience as Englishmen in Hanover-square to boasts of a liberty that does not exist, and never will as long as there is a negro on the American continent to be held as a slave in the South, or treated as worse than a pariah in the North. GAVAZZI'S FAREWELL LECIURE. Gavazzi gave last night his farewell lecture, selecting as the subject of his discourse "The Reli gious and Civil Progress of Italy." The attendance was by no means numerous, and there was little or no novelty in the lecture, all the points of which had been stated in previous orations. He observed that there was some progress in religious Italy, starting from 1853, when there was theoretically a beginning in the establishment of a small congre gation of evangelical Christians at Turin ; but the real practical commencement of religious freedom in Italy dated only from the entry of Garibaldi into Naples, and now by the blessing of God they had no less than 40 congregations of evangelical Chris tians, numbering not less than 2,000 communicants and 20,000 regular attendants at religious worship. st Considering the formidable opposition of Roman ism, this Pro testanised. In fact, he and others who w ere en gaged in the work of evangelising Italy , foun d it it necessary to make a declaration that Protestantuu notable progress. wasogress. being But was a mist ake was great it to suppose and ta that ob al was not their object; and if it were supposed that it was, such was the prejudice of the Italians that they would altogether fail. What they sought to do was to Christianise Italy, not to Protestantise her ; and seeing that nine out of ten of the whole Italian people did not believe in the Roman Catholic Church, they had every encouragement to continue preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in its purity, which the Italian people were quite willing to hear. The nearer they approached to Rome the less they be lieved in Romanism, and there was an Italian proverb that if you would found a people without faith you must go to Rome, the seat of the Pope ; and that proverb was infallible, and the reason was that the Italians had seen too much of Rome, consequently the Italian mind was the most promising for receiv ing the true Gospel, and the Italian mission was destined to achieve the greatest success of any mis sion. Popery was losing children fast in Italy, but as her belief was that her children must remain at the same number to the end of the world, viz., at about 120,000,000, she must make up the number she was losing in Italy by gains elsewhere, and the country where now she was endeavouring to gain children more than anywhere else was Protestant England; and while he thanked God for what He VMS doing for Roman Catholic Italy, he prayed God to protect Protestant England. The Roman Catholics knew the value of attraction; they knew how to do business, as witness the advertisements of the musical attractions at St. George's Cathedral, which drew unthinking Protestants to Roman Ca tholic churches, and enabled Romanists to boast of the large congregations they could bring together even in London. The great guarantee for the pro gress of religious liberty in Italy was the fact th at in there had beep 100,000 copies of the Bible s old of the Bible by the colporteurs, for when the Italy since 1860, and the free circula tion gospel circu latedli berty was freely the progress of religio us d Naples, told him (Gavazzi) to go and preach the gospel and destroy the Antichrist. Still the pr each ing of the certain. Much of the change w as due to Gari baldi, who, when he entere d gospel was illegal in Italy ; and what he wanted was to see the Italian Parliame nt sittin g in Rome, and religious liberty made a p art of the I talian con stitution, for without religious liberty there was really no security for political liberty. In regard to the civil progress of Italy, he described the rea sons why it became necessary for the Italian States PRICE..... -..4d. STAMPED ....sd. to annex themselves to Piedmont. It was impos sible for them to go back to Austrian, or Bourbon, or Papal despotism, nor could they go back to the republics of the middle ages, consequently there was no alternative but to make one constitutional Italy by means of the union with Piedmont ; but not with the intention of making the 20,000,000 of Italians Piedmontese, but rather to make the 3,000,000 of Piedmontese Italians. This was the object the Italians had in view when, by universal suffrage, they almost unanimously declared them selves against a republic and in favour of the an nexation. The Emperor of France, who claimed to be the patron of Italy, having failed in his desire to establish a federal Italy, was trying all he could to create divisions amongst the Italians themselves. Napoleon claimed gratitude for what he had done; but the gratitude was due not to the Emperor but to the French army, which liberated Italy so far as it was liberated, but complained loudly and bitterly of their own Emperor that he would not permit them to complete the work of liberation. The Im perial " idea" for which the war was said to have been undertaken the lecturer ridiculed with happy effect, pointing out the substantial advantages the Emperor had obtained in exchange for the idea, which, though put forward with so much ostenta tion at first, became so modestly retiring aftex Villa franca. He did not desire to see war in Italy, least of all war with aFrench army] but when Italy had, as he hoped ere long she would have, 400,000 soldiers under arms, no nation would be likely to go to war with her upon her own soil, or to resist her right to go to Rome. What Italy wanted was a man to lead her, and that man she had in Garibaldi, who had not been disgraced by his recent failure, but those who were disgraced were the wretched mini stry of menials to the French Emperor, who be trayed Garibaldi and wounded him at Aspromonte. He denied that Garibaldi was defeated at Aspro monte, for he did not fight; he was wounded, but not defeated ; and he repudiated altogether the term rebel as applied to Garibaldi, which he said was a libel emanating from that man who at Bou logne was himself a rebel. Garibaldi had done for Victor Emmanuel and for Italy more than Cavour, Rattazzi, Cialdini, and all the rest of them; and it was only Garibaldi now who could lead Victor Emmanuel into Rome, and this he said on the authority of Pius IX. himself. They must go to Rome, for Rome was an Italian, not a Roman Catholic question, as they were now trying to make it in France. The course of events he wished to promote was to force an excommunication against Father Passaglia and his ten thousand priests, this would raise up an opposition which could not but be successful against the Pope's spiritual power, which must be speedily followed by an opposition to his temporal power, and then the reign of the Pope as a temporal Prince would be over, and the gospel would be free in Rome itself. The lecture was repeatedly and loudly cheered during the delivery of the oration. ANOTHER BOILER EXPLOSION-SEVEN MEN BILLED AND FIFTEEN INJURED. About seven o'clock yesterday morning a dread ful explosion of a boiler took place at the premises of Messrs. Beatson and Co., the Midland Iron works, Masbro', by which seven lives have been sa crificed, and ethers put in jeopardy, and a great amount of property injured. In the works a great number of men are employed in puddling and roll ing, and the other laborious operations which are carried on in the works, and it was in this part that the fearful calamity took place. Seveal boilers of various dimensions were fixed in the - mill to furnish the power necessary to work the large number of rolls that were in use. One of these boilers, nearly the largest in the place, was embedded midway between two smaller ones, at about 80 yards from the entrance gate. A few minutes after seven yes terday morning there were about 150 men and boys employed in the shed. The work was proceeding as usual, when a tremendous report was heard, the large boiler launched itself forwurd into the mill, and in an instant's time the whole place was in ruins. The two large tubes of the boiler were pro jected with immense fo rce t o th e rear o f th e pre mises, being accompanied in their flight by showers of red-hot bricks from the bed of the boiler, slates, and sheets of iron from the roof of the shed, and other portions of the debris, which covered the whole space around. Before the tremendous missile everything went down like reeds. The roar of the explosion was terrible, but it was quickly succeeded by still more appalling sounds—the shrieks and screams of the unfortunate persons who were buried beneath the ruins. The survivors set immediately to work, and having taken steps to obviate any danger from the other boilers, they com menced to extricate the wounded and the dead. Of the latter there were found five, most of whom had been killed instantaneously by the rush of the boiler or the ponderous fragments which it displaced. Their bodies were removed to the Butchers' Arms, an adjacent public-house. Two others of the sufferers of the name of Cawthorne and John Ellis, who were removed in an insensible condition, died shortly afterwards. The injured men number about 15, and most of them are suffer ing from wounds of a very dreadful nature, caused by the scalding water and steam, or the fragments of the ruins which had fallen so thickly. Nine of them were sent at once to the Masbro' station, and taken by train to Sheffield, where they were re moved to the General Infirmary. MURDER A 7 C.HES7E.RFIELD. Helen's I nn , Yesterday an i nquest was h e ld a t the St. Chesterfield, on the body of George Cooper, w h o came to h i s d ea th un d er th e f o ll ow i ng circumstances.

They had pro ceenea anout flair a mile, and were turning into the Station-road, which is close to the parish church, when they were met by two Irishmen, the tallest pushed rudely against the young woman, and the deceased very naturally inquired what he meant by pushing against her in that manner.

Thi s i s th e resu lt of a long series of breaches of th e peace by the I r i s h, which commenced with some riots that took place on the occasion of. some anti-popery lectures by the " Baron de Canini." It will be remembered that a serious riot took place on that occasion, and since then there has been a deal of ill -feeling between the lower class of Irish and Protestants. On Sunday last a serious affray took Place in one of th e principal streets, and two policemen were seriously wounded 1 by the Irish, who used pokers, loaded shillelaghs, and other formidable weapons. The two men con cerned in the murder are still at large. ' • The following facts will show 6 dittitnit : dealing with the distress now so universally preva lent in the manufacturing districts, because it would appear that there is a danger of giving too much relief, so as to discourage people from taking era-. ployment when it is offered to them. Early last I week a placard was issued in Manchester and Sake ford, .of which the following is a copy :—" Hari ' silkwinders and cleaners wanted. Apply at Hope field Silk-Mill , Adelphi, Salford," Although this placard has been. out more than a week, it appears that they have only been able to get a dozen work people (girls) up to this time. They still want be tween 50 and 60, and have About 2,000 spindles idle for want of hands to attend fo them. The silk trade, like the linen and worsted trades, appears to he improving to some extent, though it bzis been much distressed in eons(quence of the great advance which has t:tken place in the price of cotton fabrics. According to the returns of Captain Pa l , n, pub lished on Tuesday, the number of people belonging to Bilk mills out of employment in Manchester is 2,297, while the number out of work in cotton mills is 11,409, and yet the owner of Hopefield silk mills, who is much pressed by orders, is unable to get sufficient workpeople to tend his spindles. Some light is thrown upon the case by the fact that a Poor Law guardian of an adjoining union, h ear i ng of this case, went to a family in Hulme, Manches ter, where he knew there were several girls who had been employed in silk mills, and tried in vain to induce them to apply at Hcpefield mill. The father of the girls replied that if they were to get the work it would only make a difference .?f ls. per week in his favour, and they would have to io to work at the factory at six o'clock in the morning . , while at the sewing rooms they were only required to attend from nine till four o'clock. He should not like them, there, to take - the situations offered. A girl who has accepted work at the mills has spoken to the same effect. On being remonstrated with about her work by the overlooker she is reported to have said, "I could do as well by going to a sewing school, where I should have 3s. 4d. per week for three days' work, besides having 38. a-week in ' provend' (food)." We have heard of many cases of a similar kind in other towns. NORTH A MERICAN INDIANS. General Pope writes from head-quarters at St. Paul to the Governor of Minesota that, in accord ance with the wishes of the citizens, he shall in crease the force of 7,000 men he proposed to keep in the north-west for the protection of the country during the winter, and to be ready for a vigorous campaign in the spring ; and he proceeds to say : " I have proposed to the Government to disarm and remove entirely from the State all the annuity Indians and all other Indians now within its boun daries ; to place them where they can no longer impede the progress of the settlements nor endanger the settlers ; during the campaign of next summer to seize and dispose of all the Indians upon whom we can lay our hands in like manner, so that the lines of travel and emigration shall be secure to the smallest parties; to treat all Indians—as the late outrages and many previous outrages have demon strated to be the only safe and humane me:Shod—as irresponsible persons, to occupy nearly the saw) re lation to the Government as lunatics do to the State authorities; the Government to feed and clothe them cheaply ; and for that purpose use the annui ties now paid them and the proceeds of the sale of their reservations ; to pay no more annuities, and give the Indian no more arms or weapons by which he can be dangerous. By this mode of treatment a great barrier,Which has been constantly accumulat ing by the removal periodically of Indian tribes, and their location along our borders, will be at once lifted away, and the whole region to the Rocky Mountains will in a short time be open to emigra tion, travel, and settlement. By this policy also the Indian, being deprived of his arms, and of the power of indulging his habits of wandering restless ness, and removed from the association of gamblers, whisky-sellers, and unprincipled white men and half-breeds, will be brought to a condition where Christianity and education can best be brought to bear upon him, and where some hope of success will be offered to the missionary and instructor in their humane labours. . . . The Sioux prisoners en gaged in the late outbreak will be executed unlees the President forbids it, which from the tone of his despatches I am sure he will not de THE STEAMER WHITE SWAN. OFFICIAL REPORT. A naval court assembled at the committee room of the House of the Representatives of the General Assembly at Wellington, New Zealand, July 17, 18, and 19, 1862—pre sident, John. T. Swann, Esq., Senior Lieut. of H.M.S. Harrier. Members—Henry C. Sedmond, Esq., Master of H.M.S. Harrier; Captain Jacob Care, master of the British merchant ship Blanch; Captain John Halliday, harbour master of Wellington ; W. B. Rhodes, H.M.P., merchant, of Wellington. The Court, pursuant to an order from Sir M. M'Gregor, B art„ commander of H.M.S. Harrier, and senior officer in New Zealand, dated 15th July, 1862, proceeded to hear and investigate the cause of the wreck of the British merchant steamer White Swan, near Flatpoint, on the east coast of the northern island of New Zealand,en the 29th June,lB62 ; and having heard read the narrative of the master of the White Swan relative to the case, and examined the officers, the crew, and some of the passengers ; and having deliberately weighed and considered the said narrative, and the whole of the evidence brought forward, the court is of opinion that —Firstly. The ship was steered too close to the land during the night. Secondly. The vessel struck on a rock or reef. Thirdly. Sufficient caution was not taken in conducting the navigation of the ship—in the first place, in not using the com mon log as a cheek on the patent log , and in the second place, in not using either the deep-sea or hand leads, at the short distance the ship was off the land. Fourthly. The boats were not properly prepared for an emergency, being deficient in oars and thole pins. Fifthly. The number of seamen on deck appeared to be insufficient for the naviga tion of the ship, there being only three in the watch in addition to the officer. Sixthly. After the fore compartment had been found full of water in Auckland, the well should have been sounded more frequently than it was, viz., once or sometimes twice in 24 hours. Seventhly. That from the evidence before the Court, the distance from the land must have been much less than as stated by master and Mr. Wm. D. Hall, chief mate, the Court being of opinion that it could not have been more than one mile, or a mile and a half. Rightly. A very great discrepancy exists in the master's evidence, inasmuch as he stated to the Court that the patent log showed in the middle watch an average of nine knots, whereas from his positions as laid down in the chart, by bearings at 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., it would appear that she had gone 40 miles in these two hours Ninthly. The Court cannot reconcile the fact that a man should be capable of commanding a steamer, and not know the difference between his two compasses within half a point. Tenthly. From the evidence we have received of the ship's antecedents, from the mere partiaLrepair she had at Melbourne, we aro of opinion, especially after her defect in Auckland, that although surveyed at Auckland the vessel could not have been in a thoroughly efficient state. In con clusion, from th e master ' a verbal statement, his ' antecedents are good, but h e h a d no certificates to show from the owners f the different ships he had served in , having lost them in the White Sw an . And tho Court are of opinion that blame is to be attributed to the said Allen Augustus Harper, late Master of the White Swan, for not having been more con stantly on dock, ..pc.,-.;att, .t.Artui; elosety to land; but, from the time the vessel str...,a to the time the pas sengers were landed, the conduct of the master, as well as that of the officers and crew, was deserving of all praise. Given under my hand at Wellington, New Zealand, this 19th day of July, 1862. JoHN T. SWANN, Lieutenant of H.M.S. Harrier, and President of Naval Court. The Opinione Natzonalc states that the second edition of M. Michelet's new book, the Sorciere, has been interdicted. Ali the accounts from Augsburg agree in giving a gloomy account of the young Queen of Francis 11. She is said to be in a greater state of moral and physical prostra tion than before, and fears are entertained for her health. Every entreaty is unavailing to induce her to return to the ex-King.
