Two performances daily, commencing at 2 and 7 o'clock, p.m. Doors open at half-past one and half-past six o'clock. The Great United States Circus re-opens in London (after its provincial tour), not merely in its entirety, not simply as it first attracted audiences " whose name was legion," but with new stars added to the firmament of its glory, and with fresh flowers culled from the gardens of talent .to adorn the bouquet of its brightness ; not that its spring flowers have lost their beauty, nor that its well-known stars have paled in their respective constellations, but " Excelsior " is the motto of the proprietors, and the Alhambra Palace, the Gem Am phitheatre of the World, having undergone a thorough reno vation and re-decoration, will open on Monday, November 8, at 2 o'clock, p.m., with an array of talent which the Eques trian world is defied to equal. It shall be the constant study of the Management to place before their patrons nothing but what is without reproach and unapproachable,—so that the most intellectual and refined may come with the full assur ance that in the refreshing originality of the animated varie ties given in this establishment, nothing will be allowed that shall offend the most fastidious, or tint the cheek of modesty. In this array of talent will be found Miss Rose Madigan, Senora Delavanti, Mdlle. Mathilde, Mdlle. Gertrude, Mdlle. Gahuses, Senora Mine y Pons, Senora Consciendo, Miss Hen rietta Laren, La Petite Emma, J. Murray, J. Holland, Signor Delavanti and Family, Davis Richards, J. Myers, J. Pentland, J.

Anable, the Tribe of Bedouin Arabs, four clowns—Pentland, Myers, Ferdinand, and Jack son ;—also (just arrived from America) Lavater Lee and his talented Family, and the vaunted rider of Fame's Loudest Trumpet—William Omar, who stands the Alpha of all eques trians, so far superior, that the highest encomium that can be passed upon any horseman of the present day is, that he stands second to none but young Omar. The above Company comprises Sixty of the Best Performers ever assembled together, all of whom will appear at the same time in a Grand Trial of Skill, entitled The " HERCU LANEUM," never before represented in England. The stud of Cream and Spotted Steeds is large and fault less. The renowned Trick Horse Black Eagle, the Horse of Beauty, and those wonderful hybrids the Educated Mules, Pete and Barney, will be introduced at each exhibition. With these attractions, Messrs.

It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. Just published, price ls., post free, in an Envelope, for 13 stamps, SELF -PRESERVATION.—A Medical Treatise on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System, and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life with!n Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits. Irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

A resolution for a monthly audit was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then thanked the meeting for their attendance, and said the last resolution ter minated the business of the meeting. Mr. PIDGEON said he hoped, before the meeting separated, they would agree to a motion he had to propose. It was that the thanks of the meeting be given to Edwin James Farren, Esq., the indefatig able actuary and secretary—(cheers)—and officers of the company. The great success that had been attained during the past year conclusively showed that great exertions must have been made by Mr. Farren and the officials to bring about such a satis factory state of things. (Hear, hear.) The motion was seconded, and .the chairman having put it to the meeting, it was carried unani mously. Mr. FARREN briefly returned thanks. He said it was particularly gratifying to him to receive the thanks of the shareholders and policy holders. He assured the meeting that all the staaff lid their duty efficiently and satisfactorily. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings, PRICE 4 D • STAMPED, 5D GRESHAM LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. The ordinary general meeting of the shareholders and policy-holders in this flourishing society was held yesterday afternoon, at the head offices of the society, 37, Old Jewry. The chair was occupied by William Tabor, Esq. The routine business having been transacted, the CHAIRMAN called upon the secretary to read the annual report of the directors. The Actuary and Secretary (Edwin J. Farren, Esq.), then read the report, as follows : " The directors have to submit, as their report to the general meeting, in conformity with the re quirements of the deed of settlement, the following statement of the results of the tenth financial year, ending July 31, 1858. " The proposals for new assurances, exclusive of annuities, during the year, as appears from the books of the company, have been 2,110 in number, of which 1,566 have been accepted and completed, insuring £911,410 ; and affording, as new premiums from the fresh transactions of the year, the large amount of £27,897 16s. 2d. " The proposals offered have as heretofore included both first-class lives and those only insurable at in creased rates. The greater number, however, of those accepted and completed have been first-class lives ; the excess of the proposals over new policies, or 544 in number, being those wholly declined or otherwise not carried out. " The general number of policies on the books was 5,312 ; the general income from premiums, exclu sive of interest on investments, was £78,161 13s. 3d. ; the amount paid in respect of claims from death was £25,942 10s. Bd. ; and the amount of the funds at interest or actually in hand at the end of the year, exclusive of deposits, was £153,141 16s. 10d. " To contrast the position of the society at diffe rent periods of the past with the present, it will be sufficient to rehearse that— " At the end of its third financial year (July 31, 1851), its new premiums were £5,124 3s. 4d. ; its current premiums, £15,923 is. 6d. ; and its funds at interest or actually in hand, exclusive of deposits, was £21,205 9s. 6d. " At the end of its financial year (July 31, 1854), the new premiums were £7,129 18s. sd. ' • its cur rent premiums, £35,329 9s. Id. ; and the funds at interest or actually in hand, exclusive of deposits, was £69,689 4s. 10d. " At the end of the tenth or present financial year (July 31, 1858), viz., four years only from the last series of figures, its new premiums are £27,897 16s. 2d. ; and, after the declaration of bonus in 1855 of £25,000, its current premiums are £78,161 13s. 3d., and its funds at interest or actually in hand, ex clusive of deposits, £153,141 16s. 10d. " Whoever is aware of the intense competition and struggle for business, that has been carried on, especially during the last four years referred to, by the various life assurance societies of Great Britain, not only by extending their transactions over the United Kingdom, but over the continent and to the remotest of our colonies, will readily admit, that the success of the " Gresham" has been unprecedented. This is the more worthy of note from the fact, that there is no single transac tion on its books for an extreme amount, nor has there been among its multifarious proceedings a single instance of an acceptance for an assurance or policy being issued, without having been first sub mitted as a distinct proposal, for specific approval or rejection, at the head office in London. " The amount of business transacted during the past year might appear, however, to have been capable of being made still greater, in consequence of one older, and several younger, societies having proposed, to transfer their business to the Gresham. But no suoh proposal has been offered to this so ciety, whatever may have been offered to others, that the' directors could, upon close examination, as men of business, deem advantageous and proper for all parties to enter into. They have, therefore, preferred relying upon its own resources to develop and extend the business of the Gresham, rather than enlarge its liabilities by the inclusion of risks, not passing through the usual ordeal of original scrutiny, for approval or rejection, according to its own forms of procedure. That this determined line of action has been thoroughly successful, is proved by the unprecedented amount of business transacted. To render its effect and bearing still more promiment, the directors, having regard to the great public attention, that has of late been attracted towards Joint Stock finance, and having made the system of accounts adopted by the Gresham the especial object of their own attention, have now the pleasure of recommending to the general meeting, that the audit of the society's ac counts, instead of taking place as heretofore, but once a 3rear, should be entered on -.by the auditors , month by month, preparatory to the. annual report. Indeed, the great extent and multiplicity of details of the society's business now needs this partition of the auditor's labours ; and the consequent expense will be fully warranted by the increased confidence to all parties that a monthly audit must necessarily engender. " With respect to the accounts of the past year, they have been already printed and circulated among the shareholders, as required by the deed of settlement, and, having been carefully compared with the original documents by the auditors and reported correct, arc now submitted for approval and adoption. " The directors who retire on the present occa sion, are Messrs. James Lyne Hancock, David Lloyd, and Alfred Smee, who, being re-eligible, again offer themselves for election, and constitute the list recommended by the directors for that pur pose. " In conformity with the Deed of Settlement, the auditors also retire at the close of the year ; but being re-eligible, again offer themselves for election for the year ensuing, viz, Messrs. G. H. Ladbury and Wm. Whiteloc, on behalf of the shareholders ; and Messrs. G. Lowe, F.R.S., and Win. Webb Venn, for the policy holders. "As a conclusion to their report the directors can not lose sight of the fact, that a large business like that of the Gresham can only be obtained and sup ported by the active exertions, not only of them selves and those of the official staff more imme diately under their control, but, as during the past and preceding years, by the active and strenuous efforts of those acting in various capacities for the society, both at home and abroad. To all of whom the greatest praise is due, from their having thus successfully combined, to enable directors to claim for the Gresham a place among the leading insu rance companies of the country. Speaking for themselves, the directors will never cease to pro mote, to the best of their power, the general wel , fare of the institution over which they preside, and hope that by such means, and the increasing confi dence of the public, in the stability and . practical usefulness of the Gresham. as a reliable insurance society, that, great as has biol.. tlie success of the past, it may still be exceeded and justified by the results of the future. The CIiAIRMAN said the present was the tenth occasion on which he had had the happiness of presiding at their ordinary annual meeting, and it had been his gratifying duty each time to congra tulate the society on the successful progress that was being made. (Cheers.) The report just read showed that prosperity still continued to attend their exertions ; and as it entered so fully into the affairs that had occupied the attention of the direc tors during the past year, he should not detain them with any lengthy remarks thereon. It was exceedingly gratifying to find that their new busi ness had been greater during the year just ended one—(cheers) — than it had been in the preceding al in and consequently the genercome had largely increased. (Loud cheers.) The only other obser vation he need address to the meeting was, that the directors had determined to recommend the shareholders to agree to. an audit of the society's affairs every month, instead of once a year. (Hear.) He hoped such a proposition would be agreed to, as he was persuaded that the exact state of their affairs could not be too fully known to their constituents. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in moving that the report just read be received and adopted. The motion was after a few words',f rom , M r . Griffiths and Mr. Pidgeon, was carried forthwith. The following resolution was put and carried unanimously. "That James Lyne Hancock, David Lloyd, and Alfred Smee, Esqrs., be the list of directors to fill the vacancies occasioned by the retirements." Mr. GRIFFITH, after a few complimentary obser vations, moved— " That the thanks of this meeting and the sum of 50 guineas be awarded to the auditors." Carried unanimously. Mr. PIDGEON said nothing could be more satis factory than the way r in which the retiring apcli tors had performed their duties, and, such being THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1858.

On Wednesday afternoon a meeting of the inha bitants of Edinburgh was held in Queen-street Hall, there, called by Mr. Cowan and Mr. Black, the city members, to afford these gentlemen an opportunity of giving an account of their stewardship during the last session. The Lord Provost presided. The meeting was crowded to excess. Mr. COWAN first addressed the meeting. He said,—During the short eighteen months which have elapsed since I last addressed my con stituents, three events, unprecedented in their mag nitude—l should rather say three crimes of un paralleled atrocity—have occurred, which will long stand out in broad relief in the history of our land.l refer, in the first place, to the Indian mutiny, with its black train of indescribable horrors ; secondly, to that system so long carried on in vari ous commercial and banking establishments in this country, and in the three kingdoms—for no one of them, I think, had any great advantage over the others—whereby, through along-continued, in some cases, system of deception and violence multitudes of our fellow-countrymen and countrywomen have been reduced from what they considered a short time before a condition of entire independence to hapless and deplorable penury. (Hear.) It would be well if these calamitous events were regarded as beacons for the future—(hear)—by which every possible security might be obtained to prevent the recurrence of such dreadful distress. The third atrocious crime to which I refer is that foul conspi racy against our ally the Emperor of the French— (hisses, laughter, anduproar)—our tried and faithful ally. (Renewed hisses, " Oh, oh !" and some applause.) Whatever any of you may think of the state of liberty in France, or the means by which its present ruler reached his throne, at all events he is the choice of the French people—(cheers and hisses) — and as such is entitled to our respect. I fervently thank Almighty God that. that foul design was happily not successful, and that its only effect on this side of the Channel was the destruction of the Government then in office. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Cowan proceeded to say that he had felt it to be his duty to vote for the motion of Mr. Milner Gibson against that of the Government on the question .n which they were then divided. (Cheers and hisses.) He thought that the French Govern ment was perfectly enticed to make the re presentations they did at that time to Lord Pal merston, and he could never see any ground for the charge of attempted dictation in their doing so. He thought Lord Palmerston was not to blame for introducing a Conspiracy Bill, but he thought the bill that was introduced was very unfit for its object, which was to give secu rity in time to come against similar attempts on the life of the French Emperor. After vindicating that vote at some length he alluded to Mr:Bright's speeches at Birmingham, deprecating in particular the attacks he had made on the House of Lords. The tendency of these speeches was, he feared, to incite the humbler against the upper classes of so ciety. (A voice—" No.") Well, he sincerely hoped they would not ; but it appeared to him that Mr. , Bright, when talking of the £200,000,000 which certain wars had cost the nation, had forgot to put into the opposite scale the inestimable blessings which we enjoyed of security from foreign inva sion, and the priceless rights and liberties which we had inherited from our ancestors, and which he , hoped we should be enabled to transmit unim paired to our posterity. (Cheers.) Mr. Cowan, after making explanations as to his conduct in re ference to the University Bill, the Annuity-tax Bill, and other Scottish measures, expressed his willingness to agree to an impartial inquiry into the working of the Forbes Mackenzie Act and his desire to have the billetting grievance removed. Mr. BLACK followed, and was received with loud applause. After a few introdUctory remarks, he said,—When I first offered myself for your suffrages I professed myself favourable to the general policy of Lord Palmerston's Government—(hisses and applause)—and consequently on entering the House of Commons I took my seat behind the Treasury benches with the intention of supporting that Government, though taking leave to vote against them when I thought them manifestly wrong. The night of the 19th of February broke up the Pal merston Government by a dexterously drawn amendment to the second reading of the Conspiracy Bill, to the surprise not only of the nation, but of Parliament itself. I say surprise, for I know that many members who voted for the amendment had no intention that their votes should be interpreted as a vote of want of confidence in the Ministry. They simply voted that they regretted Lord Clarendon had not sent a written despatch to Count Walewski. Had an open and distinctive vote of want of confidence been proposed, it would have been rejected by a large majority. (Hisses and applause.) As far as I am myself concerned, I do not regret the change of my seat from the Treasury to the Opposition benches. I rather like it. Opposition is more congenial to my disposition, and more in accordance with m y previous political life. (Laughter and cheers.) To the great bulk of the House of Commons it is personally of no conse quence who are the party in power ; but it cannot fail to be a matter of interest to every right thinking man that those who are intrusted with the management of our affairs should be men in whose intellgence, honesty, patriotism, sound poli tical opinions, and administrative powers the country may have confidence. But lately, who held so highly the confidenc of the public as Lord Palmerston ? At the last election almost every Liberal candidate professed his confidence in him, and the country unequivocally responded to these professions. (Hisses.) Now that something like an accident has hurled him from his high estate, it seems to be looked on as an evidence of great liberality and independence 'to speak slightingly and reproachfully of the man to whom this coun try owes an inextinguishable debt of gratitude — (hisses and cheers)—for the true British courage and sound political wisdom he displayed in bring ing his country safely and honourably out of one of the most fearful struggles in which she ever was engaged—(cheers and hissing)—and not less for the honourable peace by which he procured for his country all the objects for which the contest was entered on, in spite of -the crooked diplomacy of Russia and the adverse. interests and designs of France. (Cheers.) The present Ministry attained to power under the pretence that their predecessors were disposed to truckle to France, and that they themselves had a superior regard for the honour, dignity, and reputation of England. It is, however, obvious, from his recent outrage on Portugal in the case of the Charles and Georges, that the Emperor of France forms no such exalted estimate of their regard for national honour. ('• Hear," and hissing.) Had Lord Palmerston been at the head of the English Government, the Emperor would have thought twice —(loud and prolonged applause, and some hisses) — before he would have insulted and wronged the oldest and firmest ally of England, and before he would have contemptuously thwarted the people of this country in their long-continued and philan thropic efforts to abolish the accursed slave trade. (Cheers.) The Emperor would have hardly ven tured to violate international law, and thus give an example and encouragement to the greater despots of Europe, which they will be too ready to avail themselves of, to set justice at defiance, and insult and trample on the weak. (Voices—" Lord Pal merston and Naples," " Hungary, Hungary.") The Emperor is a shrewd politician, and knows the men he has to deal with. Will any of those who were so sensitive to their country's honour in the case of Lord Clarendon's blunder in sending an oral rather than a written answer to Count Walewski move as an amendment to the address, or some other Minis terial motion, that it is to be regretted that the English Government entered no public protest against this tyrannical conduct of France, this out rage on public justice and on our ancient ally ? We have now installed in the place of a Whig a Tory Government—(A voice, "Six and half-a dozen")—and we sometimes hear even Liberals, say, even men who rejoice in the name of advanced Liberals, speak of this turn of the wheel as a national blessing. (Hear, hear.) No doubt, good often comes out of evil, and I hope it will be so in this case. (Hear, hear.) The ministry have been praised for one or two good measures passed during last session, but we should never forget that these were gained in spite of them, and that their weak ness, not theirwill, c onsented-:,-(hear, cheers, and hisses)—and that these are the men who most i strenuously opposed every Liberal measure. (" No, no, and " Yes, yes." They ha ve p asse d th e I n di a Bill, by means of which 180,000,000 of our fellow subjects in Hindostan, when the present calamities have passed over, I trust, will be relieved from the domestic oppression under which they have groaned for ages, that their material prosperity will thereby be advanced, that secular knowledge and Christian virtue and happiness may be promoted; and though it may appear but as the dream of enthusiasm, so far from joining in the despondency of those who consider the power of superstition and idolatry, the prolonged debasement of vice, and the pr ou d c l a i ms of caste as invincible, I believe that Christianity, with a fair field and no favour, will triumph over every obstacle. (Cheers.) But the India Bill whi c h was passed by Parliament was not the bill of the present Government—(hear, hear)—their bill was the laughing-stock of the country till, at the re commendation of Lord John Russell, it was passed through the mill of a series of resolutions, and came out as nearly as possible the bill of their predeces sors. (No.) One of the first acts of the present Ministry in regard to India was rather ominous. They had not beenlong in power when the country was startled by the announcement that Lord Ellen borough had sent out a public despatch reprimand ing Lord Canning for his proclamation tothe rebels of Oude, declaring their property confiscated, but promising favour to such as should lay • down their ' arms. In other countries, as well as in our own, the punishment of rebellion is death and the for feiture of estates, but Lord Canning did not threaten to punish with death for rebellion. His policy was merciful and wise, he obviously intended to protect the smaller proprietors and villagers against the talookdars and great robber chiefs who, during the anarchy and misrule that preceded the annexation of Oude, had been guilty of rapine and cruelty, at tacking and taking the property of those weaker than themselves. Had Lord Canning at once re stored them to the property they were in possession of during the rebellion, he would have inflicted great injustice on the victims of these baronial rob bers. (A voice—" What are we ?") In this despatch, which was published over all India, the ' right of the Queen itself to the sovereignty of Oude was called in question. If the British Govern ment declares itself a wrongful intruder into the place of the Indian dynasty, are not those who have been called rebels justified in continuing to fight against a Power that acknow ledges itself an usurper ? (A voice " Certainly.") Was not the whole tendency of that despatch to encourage our enemies, and to prevent the pacifica tion of the country? This despatch seems to have not been communicated to all the members of the Government, though some acknowledged _that they were privy to it, and all supported it. Lord Derby, however, consented to throw Jonah overboard to save the crew. (Laughter and applause.) When Mr. Cardwell brought forward a motion to dis approve this despatch, I cannot say that our con duct reflected much credit on us. The debate was prolonged for some days, during which contradictory rumours of reports from India were circulated, which produced doubt and hesitation. Some con sidered the sacrifice of Lord Ellenborough a suffi cient atonement, and the threat of a dissolution in the event of an adverse vote made the Opposition glad to &saw off their troops. In regard to this despatch, if the Ministry still maintain the justice of their censure on the Governor, and if the line of conduct he has pursued, and which he declares his intention of continuing, they must immediately recall him, or if he is allowed to hold his office it will be a standing censure on their own conduct. They have promised us ,a Reform Bill—(hear, hear) —indeed, such a blessing has been looming in the distance through three, if not four Ministries. I doubt, however, if the advent of this boon will be hailed with much favour by any party, especially by the Liberals. (Ironical cheers.) I should hope, however, that it will disfranchise a number of the close boroughs. This would let loose a good many seats, in which case justice would not be done to Scotland if we did not receive an addition to our representatives. The counties and boroughs of England and Wales have no less than 496, Ireland 105, and Scotland has 53. The estimated popula tion of England and Wales in 1855 is about 18,786,000, Scotland 3,400,000, Ireland about 6,000,000. As Scotland has nearly a sixth of the population of England, on that principle we should have 80 members, or an addition of 27. 'But England being the richer country it will naturally contribute more to the revenues of the nation in proportion to its population than Scot land. If we calculate the sum paid into the Ex chequer by Scotland at a ninth of England we shall be nearer the mark. This would give only an addition of two ; but if we combine the elements of population and revenue, and take the average, the addition would be 15. In regard to the extension of the franchise, my opinion is that the safest ground on which the franchise can be based is the holding of property ; and as small proprietors are as careful as any for the preservation and prospae.ty of their property as larger, it is not necessary that the amount should be large. We have a precedent in the 40s. freehold of England. lam well aware that in Scotland we cannot have the same franchise ; but I believe that a property qualification of 40s. a-year would be one safe mode of extending the suffrage. I confess, however, I have no great hopes of the tinkering of the representative machines by the Tories, the men who so stoutly resisted the last Reform Bill, and purposely damaged it by forcing two rotten timbers into it. Mr. Black proceeded at great length to advert to the Universities Bill, and particularly to the re moval of the patronage from the corporation. He referred in conclusion to the Annuity-tax Bill, which was lost last session on the second reading by 130 to 129, but which he was determined to in troduce annually till the question was settlled. Sir W. DUNBAR, M.P., then addressed the meet ing on the University patronage question, but was received with so much impatience that he had to give way. Numerous questions were then put to the city members amid every description of clamorous de monstration, and numerous interrogators were still competing for hearing, when the advancing dark ness and the confusion that prevailed brought the meeting to a close. FATAL WRECK OF THE BRITISHSIIIP SOUBADAB.-FORTY LIVES LOST. The following particulars have been received at Lloyd's relative to the wreck of the English ship Soubadar, Capt. Umfrevill, commander, and the loss of 40 lives (coolie passengers). The ship was on a voyage from the Mauritius to Madras with 301 coolie passengers and two native doctors on board ; her Lascar crew and European master and officers, amounting in all to 52. On Aug. 11, at two a.m., she struck on a reef extending E.S.E. about four miles from the island of Forie and of the Spadian group, and became- a total: wreck. The vessel at the time was under double-reefed topsails, courses up, and jib and spanker in ; wind north, and the ship heading up east by north. Breakers were seen and reported on the lee bow, and the helm was at once put hard down. The ship, how ever, struck in a few minutes, and was bilged be fore mdrning. A very heavy sea prevcsted any attempts to lay out an anchor to get the vessel off'; and at daylight the mate was sent away in one of the ship's boats to endavour to pull over the reef and get assistance from the island. He was unsuc cessful, and some time afterwards a native boat came down to the wreck, having received informa tion about the locality. During the day the crew and coolies were got upon the reef from the ship,which was two or three feet under water ; but they were unable to get to the island, either in the boats or on foot, and the rising of the tide washed a great many of the coolies off the reef. Some were picked up by the ships' boats and the native boat, but it was ultimately found on reaching the island that 38 men and two women were drowned; the crew all saved. On the 19th the captain and crew left Forie in three of the ships' boats, and the coolies in about 12 or 13 native boats, and landed on Munadoo Island, another of the same group. Here they remained some days endeavouring to get on to the Maldives. The mate, with the two native passengers, three of the crew, and 70 coolies, at length left in a native boat and reached King's Island on the 6th Sept., and the captain and a fur ther portion of the crew and coolies arriv e d n about six days. The carp enter and remain d e r e i coming up. The Soubadar was nearly 800 tons, and belonged to London.

Yesterday a telegraphic despatch was received at the Admiralty, under date Madrid, Nov. 2, an nouncing the arrival of the screw frigate Euryalus, 51, Captain J. W. Tarleton, C. 8., with Prince Alfred on board, at Ferrol. The Erebus, 16-gun iron steam battery, which has been fired at from the Snapper gunboat, to test the effect of shot at 400 yards' range (three of which penetrated her side last week and did so much da mage that a screen has been hung over the holes to prevent the " eye of prying curiosity" from knowing too much about it), is to be withdrawn from her position in the line of fire from the Excellent, and moored up at Portsmouth harbour, and the Meteor, 14-gun steam battery, of 150-horse power, is to take her place for further experiments. The Meteor, we believe, has wooden bulwarks, the supposed impenetrable iron plating being affixed thereon. The Erebus, we believe, was iron-built entirely, and although the 32-pound shot did not do the damage of the 68's, they did enough to show such a bulging internally , from the indentation they made externally as led to the belief that they would ultimately penetrate if concentrated. Yesterday intelligence was received that the steam transport Medway, with a company of Ar tillery on board, from Woolwich to Ceylon, hadput into Pernambuco, all well, on the sth October. The Agamemnon, 91, screw two-decker, was taken into dock at Portsmouth yesterday for repairs. The Vulcan, 6, iron screw troopship, which broke her main shaft on - her last passage from the Mediterranean, was taken out of dock and into the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, to make room for the Urgent, 6, screw troopship, Commander M'Donald, in order to ascertain the damage done to the latter by her grounding off Chichester on on Monday night last. The Committee of Investigation on Dockyard Economy, consisting of Rear-Admiral Robt. Small, K.H. and C. 8., Mr. R. Lowe, Mr. H. Chatfield, and Mr. A. Murray, having completed their inves tigation at Sheerness, proceed to Portsmouth and the other Royal dockyards to carry on the inquiry previous to sending in their report to the Admiralty. Lieut. Leveson Wildman, commanding her Ma jesty's gunboat Staunch, who recently performed, very gallant services in capturing two Chinese piratical junks, has been promoted to the rank of Commander. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : Lieutenant —George Tryon, to the Victoria and Albert, vice Hewett promoted. Master—Mr. S. G. 0. Pasley (acting), to the Royal Albert. Lieutenant Leverson Wildman, commanding her Ma jesty's gun-boat Staunch, who recently performed very gallant service in capturing two Chinese piratical junks, has been promoted to the rank of Commander. TILE ARMY. The East India ships Bombay and Colarain, both of which have been taken up by the Hon.

Yesterday the wounded and disabled troops who arrived from India in the screw-steamer Abec,na were medically , inspected at Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, by the medical staff at that :-...stablish ment,; in order to ascertain the number of non commissioned officers and men to be recommended to the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital for dis charge. The number of sick and wounded troops that arrived was 78, belonging to the sth Fusileers 6th, 10th, 13th Light Infantry, 19th, 20th, 38th, 42d Royal Highlanders, 53d, 58th, 60th Rifles,73d, 79th Highlanders, 80th, 82d, 84th, 97th, the Rifl e Brigade, a nd the Medical Staff Corps , together with eight s men in the India Comp" iy's service. Of this number 23 were taken into hospital for further treatment, and nearly the whole of the re mainder were ascertained to be fit for service. accom panied Qua b rt y ei L ln ie a u s t ie - r C yG ll o en n e e !

Mr. Commissioner fane has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Daily News : " Sin,—ln your publication of yesterday you have censured my conduct, as a Commissioner of the Court of Bankruptcy, in connexion with a case of Saunders, a bankrupt, in rather unmeasured language. Saunders was a very old and nervous person. He appeared to me to be shedding tears, and to be much agitated during the whole of his examination by Mr. Sargood, which lasted about five hours. It appeared that he had carried on business most respectably for thirty years at Theme, as a saddler and harness maker. He was made bankrupt by his own son /Ton an alleged balance of debt, amounting to £259, the principal debit against him being £4BO for wages at 255. a week from January, 1852, to June, 1858. The act of bankruptcy was a very honest act, being an assignment by the bankrupt of all his property to a trustee for his creditors. Only two creditors have come forward to prove. I could not, under such circumstances, help feeling for the misfortunes of this hardworking old man, made bankrupt by his own son, upon so stale a debt, after thirty years' successful trading. It appears by the pro ceedings that, in April last, the bankrupt had occasion for £lOO, and had asked a Mr. Lay to lend it him, which Mr. Lay had agreed to do on having security on some property supposed to belong to his wife in fee. Mr. Lay advanced £5O before exam ining the title ; but on investigation it turned out that the bankrupt's wife had only a life interest, upon which Mr. Lay declined to advance the immediate second £5O, and insisted upon the return of the first £5O. The bankrupt had already used it, and was unable to return it. Mr. Lay sued him. Law costs soon raised the debt of £5O to £7O ; judgment was obtained, and execution issued for the £7O. In these distressing circumstances the bankrupt's son-in-law, one Walker, came forward, paid the sheriff the £7O for Lay, and took the usual bill of sale from the sheriff of the property so seized. Of course the property, which consisted of some furniture and a small stock in trade, having been bought of the sheriff by Walker, was Walker's property. Walker, though not the son but only the son-m-law of the bankrupt, permitted the bankrupt to make what use of it he pleased, thus acting towards the old man and his wife with the kindness which their nearer re lation would have done well to imitate. All the above facts were patent on the proceedings, and must have been known to Mr. Burkitt, the solici tor, and Mr. Sargood, the counsel. I take shame to myself for not having known them so accurately at the hearing as Ido now. I have not, however, presided in a court of justice 25 years without being able to see who are honest and who knavish. I soon saw that Saunders was an honest man, and of course took his part against his son, who had made him bankrupt, and his son's supporters. My reward was the adoption of a tone of insult from Mr. Sargood and the solicitor who instructed him, to which. I dare say I replied in a tone expressing what I felt towards persons aiding such a son against such a father. Such are the facts of the case in reference to which you have expressed to your readers your judgment, that" the conduct of Mr. Commissioner Fane on this occasion was such as deeply to dis grace the administration of British justice." I doubt not that your love of justice will induce you to give your readers my statement as well as your own, and thus enable them to form their own judg ment.—l am, &c. C. FANE. P.S.—A complaint is made that I quitted the I court abruptly. I did not leave it till half-past four on Saturday, and I left it then lest I, should be ' too late to leave town by train. All the offices of the Court of Bankruptcy are closed at two o'clock on Saturday, in accordance with the wish so gene rally expressed that Saturday should be deemed a half-holiday. On the Thursday before I sat from one till half-past ten, listening to an examinaiion. by Mr. Sargood. C. F. 4, Upper Brook-street, Nov. 3. IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM BOILERS. M. Carrey, an officer in the French navy, has in vented an apparatus by which the loss of calorie throuoh the funnel of a steam-boiler is considerably diminished. A kilogramme of coal is sufficient to transform from 12 to 13 kilogrammes of water raised to the temperature of 86 deg. Fah. into steam ; but this theoretical result is far from being attained in practice, a kilogramme of coal being scarcely suffi cient to reduce 7, and in some cases 4 kil. of water into steam. The consequence is that more coal is consumed than would be necessary, and that vessels are obliged to carry a much larger provision of fuel than is usually . convenient. The three chief causes by which caloric is lost are-1, the escape through the chimney of the gases produced by combustion, which are always charged with a considerable quantity of caloric ; 2, imperfect combustion ; and 3, radiation. M. Carrev's invention for removing or at least considerably diminishing these causes rests on the principle that wire gauze has the pro perty of rapidly absorbing the caloric of a current of warm air passing through it, and as rapidly com municating it to one of cold air passing in a contrary direction. M. Carrey, therefore, introduces into tho funnel a moveable shaft supporting a pile of pieces of wire-gauze, or else a bundle of small quadrangu lar tubes of very thin metal, producing the same effect as the gauze. The gases which escape through the funnel meet this apparatus on their way, and in passing through are deprived of all their caloric. The shaft now turns upon itself, until the wire gauze, charged with caloric, is brought into con tact with a current of cold air supplied by a venti lator. This air, on its way to the fire-place, de prives:the gauze of all its caloric, and carries it into the furnace, which by this means receives a warm instead of a cold blast. The operation described is continuous, for while the shaft carries one pile of wire-gauze over to the cold current it presents an other pile to the warm one. By this contrivance, therefore, all the caloric usually lost-is saved and carried back to the furnace, where it aids in render ing the combustion more complete; the dimensions of the boiler may consequently be reduced, and ra diation therefore diminished. The power of com bustion being increased, it also follows that certain kinds of combustibles, now rejected as being of .an. inferior quality, may be advantageously employed. on board ship.

THE ALLEGED DESERTER TO THE RUSSIANS. — Private Thomas Toole, 7th Royal Fusiliers, appeared last week in the general court-martial room, at Chatham, to take his trial on a charge of deserting to the enemy when he was before Sebastopol, about the 14th Jan., 1855. From some cause, which did not transpire, the prisoner was no tried. It is understood that there is no evidence to prove that the man deserted at all. It can be proved that he left fie camp, which was on the right attack, in front of the redoubt, one morning between 9 and 10 o'clock, about the 14th or 15th of Jan., 18,55, with a comrade of the name of Moore, for the purpose of getting fuel to cook with, and they proceeded to the ravine under the heights of Inker menu, and neither of them came back again ; but they were on an e r Guards, a u deodhs await r an w- e t na j a g seen as prisoners of war in.
