At the same time the Directors have insured corn , plete exemption from Government control and Interference ; and this is the only Company so distinguished which pos sesses any Government support. The Directors have the satisfaction of finding that not only the Reports of the Company's servants in India, but the Whole concurrent testimony of the advices received from that through whatever channel, completely confirms the favourable anticipations they long since formed of the profit able character of the present undertaking. It would be im- Possible, however, within the limits of an advertisement, to i_PaPitulate the numerous evidences of this truth which the irectors are constantly receiving ; and they content them ;elves, therefore, with givingthe following quotation from a re cent leading article in the "Times," which shows that simi lar information had been reaching that paper through its Indian correspondents. From the 'Times,' Jan. 29, 1859. " It is not only Government but the whole nation that seems en liaa• Any day during the last year we might have filled oRt• columns with the complaints of shipbuilders at the de- Zille of their trade, owing in a great measure to the happy r. i lolnation of the Russian War. But what do we now hear 'Pot India ? They wonder there what our shipbuilders are .oout. Month after month they are expecting the steamers that ' t lire to come. The Indian General Steam Navigation Company l'clare this month,' says our correspondent, a dend Z lO O and upwards per cent. The Home Government had i.ll requested to send out six river steamers, and It had sent th °WY one, which, it said, would be enough." Next month,' continues our informant, 'the Indian Government had to en tage all the freight of six for two trips at a price which would r a ve bought the new vessels wanted twice over. There is :pin and Work, we are told, for 300 steamers on the Ganges tice,,flowin, as it does, through a territory with a ponoula -44,1f 350 to the square mile, with an export trade of y",, , w0,0000, and an internal trade beyond human calculation. t u e "• with this vast opening before us, there are found men In „_e prime of life neither' schoolboys nor dotards, who can "te their time in holding meetings and memorialising Go ocr,onient to find them customers for their shipping. Many tune ere this has war ministered to peace, infusing a quicker Ac owe the real opening of the Indian navigation British 'ilterprise, and the railways which are certain to follow. But burn sat ; we have said enough to start our shipbuilders and 1,. r m _SkoDowners, if they are Englishmen.'! Directors have all along felt that neither the vessels h"'elTthey have already sent to India, nor those which they present in preparation, could do much to satisf y the Rl'egrant of Inland Steam Navigation which exists in that N e ; ° ,, i , i ntrY. But they have also all along felt that the only safe „3" . of entering upon such an undertaking was not to rush " ti , ° it with sanguine precipitation, but to advance with gra -1,,„al prosa steps, and without being dazzled by the ,'"`,:repect of profits it holds out. The first steps, how -1,: Shares been successfully taken. the whole of the exist " in the Company having been allotted, and being r ' a premium in the market and the field being so large as to Directors a large capital to work , it in an efficient manner, the virectors are of opinion that the time is come when the capi -41 of the Company may be advantageously increased, and isillion ev have, therefore, resolved to raise the capital to half a sterling without delay. • APPlieations for the new Sharespust be forwarded to the onLondon, terectOrs, at the offices of p the Comany, 9, Billiter-street, or before the 28th day of February next.

WEST HARTLEPOOL. The general meeting of this company was held on Friday, at Hartlepool. In consequence of a statement published by Messrs. Gardner and Love lock of Basinghall-street, London, pointing out considerable discrepancies in the accounts, there was a large attendance. Mr. R. W. JACKSON, the chairman of the com pany, presided, and commenced by reading the directors' report for the year ending the 31st of December last. It stated that, during the recent period of commercial depression, the undertaking had fully maintained its position in the district, and during the few weeks of the present year the revenue return exhibited a gratifying rate of progress—the amount for the seven weeks being £22,838, as com pared with £19,667 for the corresponding period of last year. The report further showed that the amount credited to revenue had for the past year been L 178,497, including the sum of £2,717 brought forward from the last account. The working ex penses were debited with £79,831, taxation £2,385, leaving a surplus of £96,280. After debiting in terest and those prefnrence dividends which were payable within the year, a balance was left £35,498, out of which it was proposed to pay a dividend on the consolidated stock of 4 per cent. per annum. The traffic returns for coals, passengers, merchan dise, &c., amounted during the past year to the sum of £178,497, as against £176,732 for the preceding year. The declared value to her Majesty's Cus toms of the foreign merchandise exports from West Hartlepool, irrespective of coals and coke, amounted for the past year to £2,469,313 as against £1,767,160 for the year 1857. The directors recommend the proprietors to secure an interest to the extent of £60,000, in the Cleveland Railway, which could not fail to_ be a source of increased value to the West Hartlepool undertaking. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said without wishing to say a word against the office arrangements of the Board of Trade, he was bound to remark that in scarcely any instance did their returns agree with those published by th e different companies throughout England. The fact was that the papers published by that department were drawn in such a form as not to specify many of the items of receipt and expenditure which usually appeared in directors' reports. He very much wished that the person who had excited those inquiries with respect to the West Hartlepool ac counts had done him (the chairman) and the officers Of the company the kindness to ask for the requi site information. (Hear. hear.) In five minutes this information could have been supplied to him. The Board of Trade returns, it should be remem bered, were directed to ascertaining more particu larly what was the authorized capital and the total expenditure of companies, and between these two extremes came the item of mortgage debts, prefer ence shares, &c., not entitled to dividend. Under that heading must be included a great number of sums which the Board of Trade did not require to be stated specifically. To illustrate this he would take the simple item of capital in the last returns. In the last account of the directors there was a sum of £208,000 to the credit of surplus land—being a balance of surplus due to the company. This item was not shown separately in the Board of Trade return's, but was placed under the column " Not capital, or entitled to receive any preferential in terest or dividend." In the same return there was a discrepancy with regard to income. In the Board of Trade report for last year the income of the West Hartlepool Company was reported to be £140, 1 391, instead of £176,782. They had excluded all these receipts its applicable to the docks and shipping. (Hear, hear.) There was no fault with the Board of Trade, in that they professedly asked for returns, and only published these returns as regarded the railway ; but curiously enough they had on the debit side included the expenditure in connection with the docks, so that thus the balance of the receipts appeared to be:70,000/, instead of 79,0004 and not one farthing of general expenses had been deducted. It was very desirable the public should understand this point. The debit side included the expenses of the docks, while the credit side excluded the re ceipts of the docks. (Hear, hear.) In the state ments he had seen in the press, professing to ema nlaoiacffitl e c e , t f hese e n its to be mattersob! some e understood.pershoands b n ea e m n, e r d Gardner and Love lock, diniviadNeNn'adYs interests, and interest dividends, and they so com plicated these accounts that he had only to say that if Mr. Coleman, who had originated that inquiry, would attend four or five minutes to the accounts ith him at any time he would see the error they had fallen into by mixing up dividends and inte rest. (Hear.) Having made these ex pl anat i ons, i t would be invidious in him to point out what he hap pened to know as to the variation in the accounts of neighbouring companies. It would not be right the case of Mr. Coleman lie had only to appeal to the letter which he (the chairman) had himself written, offering every possible information to him or any other proprietor. (Hear, hear.) He con cluded, amid applause, by moving the adoption of the report. Admiral GATOR (of London), in seconding the adoption of the report, gave a history of the com pany's progress, in order to show the debt of grati tude under which the shareholders lay to Mr. Jack son and the other directors. Mr. COLEMAN then put to the Chairman several questions, all of which were answered by the Chair. man, apparently to the satisfaction of the meeting. The report was then adopted unanimously. Admiral CATOR moved a vote of confidence in the chairman and directors. Mr. 'l'. HUDSON, in seconding the resolution, said during the last few days he had availed himself of the opportunity afforded him by the directors in going through the accounts, principally of 1857, which had been so strongly impugned by Mr. Cole man, and he was bound to say they were correct. Being an accountant by profession, he could speak confidently of the accuracy of the accounts of the books, which were kept in a way which reflected the greatest credit upon the bookkeeper. • The resolution was carried by acclamation. Dr. DE VITRIE proposed the appointment of a consultative committee, as recommended in the re port-of the directors, to consist of Mr. T. Sturge, of London ; Admiral Cator, Mr. T. S. 13irley, of Bol ton; Mr. Nicholas Wood, of Hatton-hall; and Mr. George Baines, of North Shields. Mr. TAUNTON, in seconding the resolution, said one of his chief reasons for doing so was the high character of the gentlemen named in the resolution, who represented stock to the amount of £lOO,OOO. After some observations from Mr. N. Wood and Mr. Sturge, the resolution was carried unanimously. The next two resolutions, declaring a dividend of 4 per cent. and reappointing the directors, were also unanimously carried. At the close of the meeting a vote of thanks was carried by acclamation to the chairman and di rectors. WORCESTER AND HEREFORD. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday at the London Tavern, Mr. W. P. Price, M.P., in the chair. . . The report stated that £56,513 had been expended during the half-year on land and works, and it was hoped that the line between Worcester and Mal vern would be opened in June. The companies having power to subscribe to the undertaking had paid their subscription. The directors had intro duced into Parliament a bill for power to construct a branch from Worcester to the quays of the river. Severn. The report of Mr. C. Liddell, the engineer, stated that four miles of permanent way (single line) have been laid, and a locomotive was running over this portion of the line, Carrying the materials and ballast for laying the remainder. The heading at Malvern tunnel had been steadily persevered with, the length now driven at the east . end was 506 lineal yards, leaving 416 yards to be done through the syenite, and 1,056 yards in all, to com plete the tunnel. At Ledbury the heading of the tunnel had been driven from the west end about 70 yards, the strata being of a most favourable character. The capital account to the 31st of December showed that £244,972 had been received and £227,655 expended, leaving a balance of £17,317. The CHAIRMAN said he had no doubt that the line could be opened to Malvern without further calls if the arrears could be got in as expected. When the line was ready for openin ,, arrange ments would be made with th e O x f or d , Worcester, and Wolverhampton Conn any for working the traffic ; and on the completion of the line to Here ford the Oxford company would, under the arrange nients entered into between the three companies, work the passenger traffic, and the Newport and Abergavenny Railway the goods traffic. Resolutions were passed adopting the report and re-electing the retiring directors and auditor. The railway proceedings during the week have again both 'important. At a meeting of the Eastern Counties the proposed dividend for the past half year was declared at the rate of 31- per cent. per annum. Compared with the same period of 1857 the receipti show an increase of £1,932, and an ad ditional expenditure of £3,428. The outlay of capital, exclusive of £2,296 for land and compen sation, has been £3,733 only. The proposed agree ment for working the East Suffolk lines was ap proved. The shareholders of the South Eastern have agreed to a distribution at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. The number of passengers last year has been 9,500,000. A falling of has taken place in the continental passenger traffic, but the receipts from goods, parcels, &c., have increased. After some opposition, a resolution was passed authorising the directors to apply for power to raise £300,000 additional capital in aid of the pro p cted line from London-bridge to Charing-cross. The proposed dividend of the North British is at the rate of 21 per annum, and of the Lancaster and Carlisle 9 per cent. At the Bristol and Exeter a dividend was voted at the rate of 5 per cent., an amendment to increase it to 51 being negatived. A satisfactory change has taken place in the position of the Great Western Docks, a property for many years in a state of almost hopeless depreciation. The floating dock has been completed, and ship owners appear disposed to avail themselves to a considerable extent of the accommodation provided. The agreements with the Somerset Central and West Somerset were confirmed. The opening of the Sittingbourne and Sheerness has been delayed in consequence of a difference with the Government. The question, however, is now before arbitrators. The poll of the London and North Western on the vote of £22,445 for additional station accommodation has ended in favour of the grant by a considerable majority. At a meeting of the Eastern Union a dividend was declared at the rate of 12 11s. per cent. per annum on the A stock, and £1 14s. on the B. A working agreement with the East Suffolk was approved. At the Taff Vale the distribution was 71.- per cent. Considerable sums have been taken from the depreciation fund and expended in the renewal of engines and in repairing a bridge over the Taff. At a meeting of the South. Wales the proposed dividend at the rate of 24- per cent. per annum was adopted; £5,000 has been laid out during the past half-year in relaying rails on a por tion of the line. The required authority to raise £379,980 in shares, with a guaranteed dividend not exceeding 41 per cent., was granted. At a meeting of the Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston it was stated that the Boston Railway will soon be com pleted, and that a large addition to the profits is expected from the conveyance of minerals over that line. About £250,000 more will cover the expenses of the whole undertaking. The Shrewsbury and Hereford have declared a dividend of 41 per cent. per annum, being the amount received under the lease. The receipts show a gradual and steady in crease. At a meeting of the Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds a distribution was ordered for the quar ter ending in December at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum. The arrangements with the Great Northern to conduct the coal traffic have been de ranged, but it is announced that the directors will soon be in a position to work it themselves. The Eastern Bengal have accepted the tender of Messrs. Brassey, Wythes, and Sir J. Paxton for the con struction of the whole of the works, station build ings, &c., with a supply of rolling stock and every requisite for opening the line in 1881, for £1,045,000. This sum does not provide for the import duties in India, said to be inconsiderable, and the manufac ture of the rails and chairs. The total cost is ex pected to be £1,290,000, or about £12,000 per mile. The Mid-Sussex will probably be opened in May. At a meeting of the Royal Swedish it was stated that a memorial has been presented to the King, petitioning for his influence with the Diet either to obtain the purchase of the line or an ex tended guarantee. There are grounds for believing that the application will be received favourably. The report of the East Kent states that the line , is now in course of construction throughout, and that it will probably be open for traffic to Canter bury before the end of the year. The entire rail way is expected to be completed by October, 1860. At a meeting of the Little North-Western a distribution was ordered of 2s. per share. The Midland have now possession of the under taking, under the agreement lately concluded be tween the two companies. The works of the Vic toria Station,and Pimlico are said to be making sa tisfactory progress. The report of the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire states the available balance at £23,291, out of which a dividend is recommended at the rate of 2-1 per cent, per annum. The questions in difference with the Improvement Commissioners have been amicably arranged. At a meeting of the Ceylon it was announced that the working plans and sections of 131 miles from Colombo are complete, and that the survey of the remainder of the first 40 miles is either finished or in a very forward state.

'available eri p r els e p ad c l bo e y ltf i eo v Notwithstanding the drawbacks of the almost total cessation in the steamboat traffic in the summer months, from the bad state of the river, and the want of a proper omnibus service at the Pimlico station, the general receipts were considered satisfactory. The works of the Herne Bay and Faversham have been commenced bythe contractors. The traffic will be conducted by the East Kent. The accounts of the Leeds,-Bradford and Halifax Junction show an increase in the net revenue of £2,848. A 5 per cent. dividend is proposed. The report of the London, Tilbury, and Southend states that the net earnings in the past half year have been £14,672, or £1,973 more than in the same period of 1857. The lessees have called upon the directors to raise £lO,OOO to be expended on sidings and other works with the view of further developing the traffic. At a meeting of the South Staffordshire a 41 per cent. distribution was ordered. The Hull and Holder ness have declared a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum ; Monkland, 8 ; Blyth and Tyne, 81 ; Taff Vale Wagon, 5 ; East Grinstead, 7s. 3d. per share ; and North Devon, 17s. 6d. per cent. per annum on the A stock, and £1 15s. on the B. LOSS OF THE PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM AND THREE LIVES. CALAIS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. This morning, at lialf-iia - sr One, the English steamer Prince Frederick William, Capt. Pittdck, carrying on the postal service between Dover,and Calais, and which carried the letters and despa(ches of the outward mail for India, ,:the daily French post, and 34 liass9gers, arrived Opposite the en , trance to the port of Calais. Captain Pittock, although it blew a whole gale, reasonably consi• dering that he could clear the entrance as usual, steered for it, and was already within the two pier heads, when a sea, raised by the tide and a' tremen-' dons gale, threw the, vessel against the eastern jetty. Such was the violence of the shock,'that the larboard paddle was shattered, and the quarter stove in four different places, in a fearful manner. Next moment the recoil of the shock and the reced ing of the wave threw her off, and she fell astern. Her engines were disabled, and she drove along the coast for about 200 yardg, where she grounded violently at two o'clock this morning: At this terrible moment the captain and the crew had need of all their coolness and decision to pacify the passengers and prevent them from simul taneously crowding the boats which they were launching. One of these- received six passengers, will; were happily landed, but unfortunately it was impossible for the boat to return to the ship to the 28 remaining sufferers, who, however, were part of them rescued by the Ondine, another steamer of the same company, which towed the lifeboat to the spot, manned by two French pilots and five Eng lish seamen, commanded by Capt. Moniere, Lieu tenant of the Port de Calais. When the lifeboat reached the Prince Frederick William, Captain Pittock unfortunately could no onger control thepassengers, who threw themselves so precipitately into it that it upset. It could not be immediately righted, as almost all the shipwrecked persons held on to her on one side, and ultimately many gained the beach by swimming ;• others held on until the lifeboat WaS again upright, but three persons, one of whom was a Russian :courier, Vere washed on shore, and could not be restored to ani mation, despite the unremitting care and efforts of Dr. Daniel and Garasse. The remainder of the crew were landed this rinOrriing without risk, as well as the despatches and mails. It thdught that this fine steamer, although new, cannot be saved, especially if the wind con tinues in the north, and blows With its present vii; lence. It is also feared that'she may have broken her back (qu'il ne soit brise par la Millet°. OUTRAGE ON BRITISH SUBJECTS AT LEGHORN. A correspondent, of the "Literary Gazette, writing from 'Leghorn - ; - cm-the--iiitl; r mentions the following event which has just occurred there :—" Two boys, part of a crew of an English vessel in the port, on returning to their ship at night,had a dispute with the boatman as to his fare. Angry words were in terchanged and menaces, when at length one of the boys having ascended the ship's side, threw half a bucket of water over the bargeman, and also struck' him with a small piece of coal. The boatman thus assaulted rowed back towards shore, but scarcely had he gone some yards when he met the boat containing a sort of har bour guard, on the way to light the lamps on the breakwater. What representations he may have made to them is difficult to say, but the result was that they boarded the English ship, beat the two boys most cruelly, following them as they tried to escape over the vessel, and ultimately left them bleeding and senseless. While these proceedings were going forward the captain, his mate, and the cook, who had been on shore, returned to the vessel, and were immediately set upon by the armed force, now reinforced by another boatful, armed with muskets. Not heeding the protestations of the captain and his people that they were ignorant of all that had occurred ; not listening to the assur ances that, if any injury had been done in their absence, or any outrage committed, due reparation shout(' be made—they attacked them, unarmed, as they were, slashing away recklessly with their swords till they had left the captain dangerously wounded in the head and face, the mate equally maltreated, and even the cook, who had hid himself in the hold, was dragged from his hiding place to be cut down and beaten like the rest. So serious were the injuries that the wounded men had to be conveyed to the hospital on stretchers, and are now lying dangerously ill. Mr. Macbean, the English consul, an official whose zeal and ability are well known, at once addressed himself to the . governor of Leghorn, demanding a full and open investiga tion of the whole occurrence, mild ample punish ment against all proved culpable of the shame ful outrage. The governor, acting under the ad vice of the advocate-general, a sort of attorney general, attempted to turn the entire blame upon the English, ascribing to them, as a national characteristic, the tendency to overturn all authority in countries not their own, but ending by offering in a species of kind compromise to draw stakes on both sides, and take no further steps in the matter. To this the consul most properly demurred, and immediately placed himself in relation with the British legation at Florence, in Whose hands the question now lies.', [ADVERTISEMENT.]—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer, breder, and &der of stock. Two years of unremitting care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest. Experience has proved, first, that it affects a considerable saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng. lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying he possessed in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate than by the employment or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely submitted to in the usual food of animals ; and that the produce will be realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair application of Thorley's Compounded Food. It is believed that the present unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene ral use, in preference to any other of the usual articles of food; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a nourishing and proper food for the working horse, certainly it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food, besides possessing the advantage of greatly invig ora t i ng the health and increasing the physical power of all animals, is a tonic and gentle stimulant, and when mixed with their other food, materially assists their digestive powers—a matter of great consequence, since it is an undoubted fact that the nourishment contained in their ordinary food is lost, conse quent upon the impaired or defective action of thear digestive organs ; it will also be found to be particuly beneficial in restoring to good working condition horses which have been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or are naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows its effects aro undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest superiority over every other kind of compound or manu factured food adopted in the feeding of swine. Such has been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows, Royalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awarded. The patronage of Royalty, of our principal nobility, the clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove a great incitement to this gentleman to pursue his onward course; and he may contidentlk rely, in producing so highly-favoured a compound, on a continuation of such high and diStinguishpd patronage. The following spirited sketch of a pirate of the Persian Gulf, is from Captain Archibald Sinclair's Discipline dTimes" an U : g sof the Royal Navy in the Good o f' Rama Ben Java, the celebrated pirate of the Gulf of Persia, was born on the island of Baharein, celebrated for its pearl fishery, of which island his father was sheik or king. " On this island (Baharein), I do not think there is any water at all, or if there be any, it is scarce and bad. The only available means of supply that we could see or hear of, is by no means of water carriers, wading into the sea at low water, diving about two feet, and sticking a prepared sheep or pig skin on to a faucet fixed into the sand; when they suppose that it is full, they dive down again and bring it up, when they have four or five gal lons of pure fresh water. " I have been told that there is something of the same sort at Syracuse. " As the pirate grew up to manhood, though still very young, his cruelty and crimes became so out rageously bad that the few inhabitants compelled the sheik to dismiss him. from the island. He had now no alternative or other resource than to turn pirate. He seized a small dow, and with a reck less crew set up on his own account. For seve alrelbr e u j r nrgn ort that every weaker deadpri z edogs than tatt his he tells seve ral years he cruised abo u t, occas i ona lly t ra di ng , but always on the look-out t o se i ze or ca pt ure own ; and as it was a rule with hi m t o ma k e any tpar d lise o s w o,naelrs o w r .ay b hs o e a s t uc n on k sm s oid made. If any of the captured crew would not join him he made them walk the plank' indivi dually, or sunk,./kezhole with a b roa d s id e, or i f there were a bra e, runriineatem. cm; right over, and sinking them. To. any of the, crew of cap-- tured vessel belonging to his native island he wa s unrelentingly savage, and has been known, w h en '. heascertainid that the vessel was owned by any o f h his own relations, by a refinement in cruelty to ' throw them overboard, headed , up in casks alive, telling them that it was for the purpose of giving them a last' chance of escape. " Rama was short and slight, and, like a vast number of persons in that country, had lost the use of 'one eye, from the intense heat, combined With the glare of the daziling white sand. They haVe one remedy, for the disease. When- the eyes be-. come affected, and are getting worse, they apply the actual cautery to the 'forehead and adjacent parts ; that' has not the 'desired effect, they probe the worst eye with a red-hot needle, and leave the rest to nature. He challenged the whole world to mortal combat with the sword, but it was never accepted. " Rama was• held in such universal abhorrence that a fleet of upwards of twenty collected together from all parts of the gulf, some of them about the tonnage of his own vessel, for the purpose of his capture or destruction, at a spot where he was known to be located. " The fleet arrived together in due course, and found the large pirate dow quietly riding at anchor; they dropped theirs tolerably near him, so that his escape was seemingly impossible without a fight. A council of war assembled, at which it was unani mously decided, as it has always been, and most probably always will be, to procrastinate and de lay ; in fact, not to fight. It being now sunset, and nearly dark, his intended capture was put off, till next morning at daylight; but, alas for the certainty or,human intentions, when the sun rose in the morning it shone Upon the pirate do*, ehd only vessel in the bay.. • •-•- • .. " The fleet having no head,.and 'acting Without eMicert, collected •froni all parts, and 'many of them tarred with the stunt stick, one by One , put to sea, and sheered off during the darkness of the night, each thinking that one dow less in the coming fight would be of - little importance, and that the better part of valotir; was - discretion. ',lt Wa.tpabout this time that our, acquaintance with.Rama•began. • We were ordered to Ras-ul-lihynia; *here a nest of pirates harboured, tO4lemand 'satisfaction and resti-' tution 'for something that they had done to one of our traders in the way of their profession. .Rama offered to accompany us on the expedition, and act as pilot and interpreter, which offer we gladly ac cepted, and sailed. together. I have little doubt 'that hieredtllag had more influence in' effecting the arrangement which we came to than the appearance of a small man•of-war, and a still smaller Company's cruiser. " This was the first and only time I ever saw a shot fired in anger. But the firing was all on our side, although some desperate fire-eaters and die hards would afterwards maintain that something had hit the Company's cruiser, for our shot scarcely reached the beach, so that it was not probable that theirs reached us. Upon clearing for action the captain had all hands aft upon the quarter-deck, and addressed us from the poop, in a sort of Eng land expects every man will do his duty' speech ; to which we replied with three cheers, and one cheer more, and then returned to our quarters. I recollect perfectly that my feelings were, a very considerable degree of excitement, and a vague feeling of wonder which of the others would most likely be the sufferer and lose the number of their mess. Ido not think that it ever occurred to me, that ' Every bullet has its billet,' and that I might be the one. But all this was transient. My thoughts became absorbed in the idea that the firing of the three after-guns on the larboard side of the quarter-deck was to be a pattern to the rest of the ship. "We never ascertained with any certainty whether Rama, who had volunteered to act with us, and as our pilot, played false, or if it were through ignorance that he did not take us round a sand bank that lay between us and the enemy; but, as all communications had to be made through an Arab interpreter, it was difficult, even with the best intentions, to come to a mutual good understanding. "After this escape, and seeing the terror which his very name inspired, he became even more fero cious and cruel than before, sailing about from place to place, in the largest and best•manned dow in that sea, levying blackmail from the peaceable inhabitants of its shores, taking, burning, and destroying every vessel afloat that now ventured to sea, till at last all the tribes, who had never been known before to agree upon any subject, agreed upon this point, that another expedition should be collected together and sent against him, if possible, to exterminate the nuisance, root and branch. " This second expedition was better arranged. An old reformed pirate, now much respected, in whom they had some confidence, was placed at its head, being known to have previously engaged in many a scene of strife and bloodshed. The vessels were larger and better manned than before ; more over, they caught him in a calm, in the open sea, by daylight. They could not well, either individu ally or collectively, run away, and were thus enabled, by the use of their sweep or oars, to attack him in their own usual method of fighting, which is by boarding. " The rig of a dow, and its description, is very simple. Size, from ten to six hundred ; one mast, one yard, and one sail, each, in the expressive word of Dominie Sampson, being 'prodigious!' The bow is long, narrow, and, projecting, but remarkably strong. The stem is at an angle of about 45 de grees, exactly the same as a class of large merchant ships then built, and known in India by the name of grab-ships, from the peculiar raking of their stem. These are now quite extinct; but the stern of one of the ,largest dows is as high out of the water as one of the old East Indiamen. "The whole fleet, using their long sweeps, boarded s imultaneously, and were in hopes of cap turing the great object of their expedition alive ; for there, on the poop, he sat, calmly smoking his caleon, and counting his beads ; but the calm was only apparent; for, seeing all now over, he, like a true believer, prepared to meet his f a t e w ith apathy and resignation, his hour being come, and his last pipe smoked. " The only redeeming point in this old man was his parental love for an only son, a good-looking boy about 11, of - whom he was very:fond, but at the same time had taught him implicit obedience ; he called him, put a lighted match into his hand, whispering something in the boy's ear, gave him a last parental blessing, and sent him away. " While this quiet domestic scene went on abaft, the battle was raging furiously forward. The crew, after defending themselves with great vigour, neither taking nor offering quarter, and knowing that it was a struggle for life or death, were nearly all killed by the overwhelming numbers pouring on board, who swarmed upon the deck. The boy, with a lighted match, had now reached the maga zine. A dull, heavy, unusual sound attracted the attention of the combatants, the fierce struggle ceased, a moment after a tremendous explosion took place, blowing captors and pirates into eternity. Thus perished Rama Ben Java, his san, and all his accumulated treasures." The Bishop of London has appointed the Rev. J. H.

President Buchanan was called on to the window of the White House on the night of the 13th to speak on the• subject of the admission of Oregon. into the Union, -which was being celebrated. He said he sincerely congratulated them upon the ad vent of another sovereign state into the glorious confederacy of the Republic. Extension was in future the policy of their country, and cowards alone feared and opposed it. Thanking them for the honour they had paid him, the President con cluded by calling for " Yankee Doodle," which was performed by the band. Vice-President Breck enridge, in another part of the city, having been called upon to say something about Cuba, remarked that they talked much and did too little. When England wished to do a thing she did it, and talked afterwards. If the island of Cuba, instead of being placed at the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico, lay at the opening of the British Channel, England would have had it in ten days. He was in favour of the acquisition of Cuba. He would not rob for it, but would act with any portion of his fellow citizens in using all honourable means to no. quire it.

The com manders of the French and English fleets had succeeded in enforcing their demand at Vera Cruz. The high system of duties was to be restored forth with, and two-thirds of the revenue secured to England and France. The American Consul had promptly acted against this interference, and Juarez was greatly embarrassed by it. The merchants had protested against the decree, and begged Juarez to annul it. Juarez threw the responsibility of it on the Anglo-French Governments. • . - The Closing rate for sterling exchange was 9a. Money was easy at sto 6 per cent.

IL Spurgeon preached for the first time in the Surrey-gardens Music-hall since his recent visit to Scotland. The attendance was quite as large as on any previous occasion, and the interest excited seemed in no way to be diminished. He selected for his text Psalm cxvi., v. 1 and 2, " I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications, because he has inclined his car unto me ; therefore will I call upon him as long as I live." Prior to the commence. ment of his discourse, which lasted nearly an hour in delivery, he said that during the past two we e k s he had been absent from that hall, reaching the Gospel in Scotland , and he truste that durinc , s th a t period, and the various occa s i on b w hich he had addressed large assemblie s , the spirit of OA had been present with hi m . In visiting the North, the main object he had in view was the assistance of the fund for the new buildint , which they purposed erecting for the accommodation of the crowds who fl oc k e d to hear him Sabbath after Sabbath. It always was, and always would be, his constant care to obtain the requisite sum, and he thou g ht h e might faithfully appeal to their sympathies to help forward the project. The build ing would have been erected long ago if every one who attended his ministry had acted as they ought to have done . If each of them would give the smallest sum, it would not be long before a building was rai se d w h ere G o d' s t ru th would bo proclaimed for ages to come. He stated that ho should not be absent again for a long period on th. Sabbath-day, but when he was so, he always endea voured to obtain the best substitute that could be got. His discourse consisted of a review:of the assistance which God's people received on their pil grimage. He alluded, as an instance, to the Surrey gardens catastrophe, when he said he saw the flocks scattered without a shepherd—trodden under foot and hurt, and others killed; it was then his reason tottered and reeled, but God helped him, and he was brought back once more into their midst, and many of those present, who were injured then, were members of the Park-street Church, and thanked God that they had ever entered the hall. He alluded again to his illness some months back, and to the weary nights and weary days which he then spent—to his burning brow and roaming thoughts —to the spectres which haunted him, and and t d o I I n o r rest which was no rest;still but yet there he was to praise the Lord. Th e re were present Lady Burgoynetroundin vehiclesg daughter, together with Mr. Jo y ns on , the well known papermak er, while carria g e s and of all sorts , as usual, thronged the surrounding n thoroughfares. Letters from Genoa state the suspension of N e ssrs. Gutterman Brothers and Co. The liabilities are su pposed to be rather larg e , as t h e firm were previously in d credit. goo [ADVERTISEMENT.] " HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS. DIPTIIEItIA. SORE THROAT. GLANDULAR S'‘VELLINGS.—Some twenty years ago diptheria raged in Paris to an alarming, extent ; and' in I3ologne, 18'55, its presence produced consternation by the desolation it left in its track, and gained the appellation of the " Egyptian pestilence." Diptheria is a variety of typhoid fever, per fectly under curative control by Holloway's ointment and pills, which assuage the fever, diminish the thirst, disperse swollen glands, prevent inflammation in the ' throat, and speedily heal the hazardous ulcerations on the tonsils, which always accompany the complaint.
