The following is an extract from a letter dated from Her Majesty's ship Sappho, Sept. 29, 1857, off Loando : ,‘ Singe my last letter to you in August circumstances hare happened of the most stirring kind ; never on this notorious coast has humanity been more outraged or the energy eta compassion of British seamen more called for or shown. We continued cruising, looking in at the different stations, until the 10th, when at daylight we saw a schooner at anchor; we made sail for her, she slipped her cable and steered along the beach. We followed in the Sappho as near as the depth of water would allow. The wind was light, so the corn mender took to the boats and soon came up with her ; she proved to be a schooner of 150 tons, fully prepared for the reception of slaves, and had arrived the preceding day on the coast. The captain had landed—probably with the specie for the purchase of his cargo, as only 28 doubloons were found, rolled up in a man's gaiters, who looked foolish enough when the master at arms hauled them off. We took the schooner to Loando to land the slave crew, then, finding her not seaworthy, we made a target of her to exercise our men, and burnt her. This gave us something to talk about until we returned to Loando on the 15th; there we found the Castor, with the Admiral on board, from the Cape; he sailed for Shark's Point, where the ships were collected for courts-martial, We left the following day; at 9 'in the morning, on the 18th, in a thice mist with rain, we closed with a schooner ; while boarding her the weather cleared, and a large ship was seen clie 7 e to the land. Directly our boats returned we made all sail inchase, the ship making all sail to avoid us, and the chase became very exciting. The captain said we were gaining, and so they must have.thought on board the ship, as he tacked in shore and we after him ; then he bore away, running along the edge of the surf, and by help of his large sails was draw ing ahead. By this time we were sure he was one of the large American slave ships, and we feared he would escape if he got searoom, so the captain took a b at well manned and armed and pulled to windward tocut him off, when he would be obliged to tack off shore ; another boat was sent to leeward, the master, the only officer on board, being left in charge. The ship was not more than a mile and a half distant, cline to the surf. Seeing the trap iaid for him, and that he could not escape, he ran his ship ashore. We anchored in four fathoms ; the master took the whale-boat close to the ship, and was soon joined by the other boats. The ship was rolling in the breakers with all her sails flapping about, and appeared to be full of slaves ; the master and craw had abandoned her with their boats, leaving the American colour s flyi n g. Tuen we beheld a dreadful scene; the slaves forced their way from below, jumped overbear d, and soon disappeared in the rollers; it was terrible to see them. Our officers and men, regardless of their own lives, pulled through the surf to leeward of the ship, but her heavy lurching for some time prevented their boarding; when they suc ceeded the scene was horrifying, the slaves still forcing tl,e'r way up from the slave decks with loud yells running to and fro, and continuing to throw themselve) overboard. All attempts to pacify them were useless, force was necessary to drive them below until pre parations could be made for their safety. We were told by one of the slaves who could speak Portuguese, that they were told the English would cut all their throats. As soon as the boats could be attended to the cutter was backed under the stern and a rope thrown her ; then three of the sl Ives were permitted up at a time and lowered into the boat, the whale-boat convey ing them through the rollers to the large boat, and so on to the Sappho ; th;s continued until 8 p.m. The surf in creased, and it was impossible to save more that night ; LSO were rescued. The master was left with a guard on board ; it was an anxious and a sleepless night for all, as death was rapidly decreasing the number of the poor negroes, who, starving and naked, died from utter misery, —men, women, boys, and girls, more than 200 on board the Sappho, and, as they ceased to breathe, we were obliged to throw them overboard. Poor negroes l I hope conscious in their last moments that English seamen came to save them and now made a silent prayer over them. Fortunately, we had plenty of rice from the schooner captured, which we fed them with, and placed them as best we could under cover of sails. As food and warmth restored them, in various ways they signified their sense of kindness. There was one poor crea ture with an infant at her breast, naked, cold, and ex hausted, apparently dying ; a little wine was given her, then some rice, which she forced from her own to her baby's mouth. A sheet was given t) cover her ; she wrapped her baby in it and pressed it to her heart with that look of mateinil love which God has given to the dark as well a, the pale-face race, On board the schooner the master and guard were with the remaining negroes in a perilous state ; the former passed the night, in the forecastle and bowsprit, drenched by the spray of the heavy rollers. At dawn on the 19th the wind and surf had increased ; the ship had driven closer to the beach ; numbers of armed people were collected ; a signal for assistance was made ; the captain went with all the boats manned and armed, when the natives on the beach, led on by the white men, apparently the crew of the ship, commenced firing with the intention of pre venting the rescue of any more negroes. This continued an hour before we could clear the beach, some of our shots apparently telling well. On again boarding the wreck she was found breaking up, with her hold lull of water. On the tide receding, her hull WAS nearly dry, and there was no time to spare. The large boats were stationed to keep the beach clear with their guns • the cutter was anchored at the back of the surf, and by watching the rollers they succeeded in throwing her a rope, when the negroes were lowered and hauled through the surf, and conveyed, as before, to the Sappho, 200 more being rescued, then the wreck was set ire to and our people withdrawn. We were in such a state, with 330 negroes crowding our decks ; the stench was putrefying, and it was possible to work the ship. In this state the second day closed upon ns. We were 40 miles from Shark's Point ; the captain resolved to go in his boat and ask for assist ance. They pulled all night in heavy rain, and at day light on the 20th fortunately met the Yesuvius, Commodore Wise, with whom the Captain returned. Commodore Wise took the negroes on board the „Vesuvius, to be sent to Sierra Leone in the Alector prize. Having the slaves on board has caused much sickness; it is passing without any fatal case. We are ordered to the Cape, we suppose to cruise in the Mozambique Channel, if so it is probable our bones will be left there ; its effects after what we have been through for 2 ( ;) months on this coast, will be finishing. I have given you the history of one of the many Ame rican ships employed in the slave trade ; six, I think, have been taken. We seized the Panihita 30 miles up the coast, and sent her to New York ; we do not know whether the American Government will condemn her. THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS ROTAL.—A supple ment to the Gazette of Tuesday contaius a long official account of the celebration of the marriage of the Princess Royal with Prince Frederic William Nicolas Charles of Prussia, on Monday week, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's ; and also an account of the investiture of the Prince with the order of the Garter at Windsor Castle on Thursday last. The Gazette publishes addresses of congratulation to her Majesty on the occasion from the Military Knights of Windsor, the borough of Tiverton, fromßelfast, Birmingham, Boston, Morpeth, Edinburgh, Dunbar, Greenock, Stirling, and Lanark. [AuvEaTtsEmErr.l—The intelligent portion of the public can no longer remain inattentive to the convincing personal evidence which has been given by Fifty Thousand respectable individuals, as to the extraordinary cures (Meted by Messrs. Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, in various stages of the undermentione 1 maladies, and after medicine had utterly foiled, or had, in many cases aggravated the original symp toms : dyspepsia (indigestion), constipation, functional irre gularity, obstructions, acidity, cramps, spasms, fits, heart- burn, diarrhoea, nervousness, biliousness, affections of the liver and kidneys, flatulency, distension, palpitation of the heart, nervous headache, deafness, noises in the head and ears, giddiness, pains between the shoulders, and in almost every part of the body, chronic inflammation and ulceration of the stomach, eruptions on the skin, scurvy, fever, scrofula, impurities, poverty of blood, consump.ion (if not beyond human aid), dropsy, rheumatism, gout, influenza, grippe, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, after eating, or at sea, low spirits, spleen, general debility, paralysis, cough, asthma, tightness across the chest, phlegm, inquietude, sleeplessness, involuntary blush ing, tremors, dislike to society, unfitness for study, de• lusions, loss of memory, vertigo, blood to the head, exhaus tion, melancholy, groundless fear, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts of self-destruction, (tr. Amon g st those who have joined in this magnificent testimonial of gratitude are such men as the Right Hon. Lord Stuart de Decies, the Venerable Alex. Stuart, Archdeacon of Ross; Major-General Kin; Captain Parker Bingham, R.N., Ste., Sze. The catalogue likewise includes the names of hundreds of ladies, who, with a noble resolution, overcoming for humanity's sake their natural repugnance to publicity, have come forward to de scribe their long-continued sufferings under the anguish of disease, and the misery of fruitless medicine-taking, and their final delivery from all this wretchedness by the use of the light andagrecable Revalenta Food. In numbers of in stances it has been the salvation of women in pregnancy, and of delicate nurses and infants ; and the duration of chronic diseases, which it has effectually overcome (after all other methods of cure had been used in vain) was in some cases, upward s of sixt y years. If we de signate the discovery of th is food as the grea# est physical blessing which the good fortune and ingenuity of an individual have yet conferred upon the human species, we feel that we are speaking quite within bounds ; and we can only express our hopes, for the sake of societ y y at large, that the use of this inest imable p re p aration may ecome as universal as its capacities for good are certain and inexhaustible. Supported by testimonials from the following celebrated Pro fessors of Chemistry: Dr. A. Ure; Dr. Shorlaud; Dr. Harvey; Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram ; Lord Stuart de Decies; the Dowager Countess of Casticstuart; Major Gen, Thomas King, and many other respectable per. sons, whose health has been restored by it, after all other means of cure had failed.

Important Caution against the fear ful dangers of spurious imitations.--The Vice-Chancellor Sir Wi lli am Page Wood granted an Injunction on the 10th Mardi, I 1554, against Alfr e d Hoo p er Ne vi l l, for imitating "Du Banjo RevAlvaa Arabica Fol" THE FRENCH REFUGEES. (Prom the Times.) Whatever interest this country might naturally have felt in the legislation and police of the neigh bouring empire is now greatly augmented by the responsibilities we are supposed to incur by our geographical position. In common with all the other neighbours of France, we are expected so to harmonise our municipal laws and usages with her own, that those whom she rejects shall not gain any thing by coming among us, but shall be within reach of France, even beyond her frontiers. This is a case of pressure or political hydrostatics, if we may so describe it. As it is, when France puts on the screw, or adds a few pounds per inch to the pres sure of her system, her less favoured or less con tented citizens escape into this freer atmosphere. It is France herself that brings this about. We don't invite these people. We are not even aware of their pretence, except by the annoyance they occasionally give us. As we read our police reports or pass through our less reputable thoroughfares we become painfully aware that there are many fo reigners among us, but the first thought suggested is by no means how best to retain them. We assume that they were driven here by crime, or misfortune, or extreme opinions, and it is according to the genius and vocation of this country to leave them alone as much as they will allow us to do. France, however, havin g first driven them here, holds us answerable for their presence, and desires us to give an account of their behaviour. 'Phis itt,elf is no slight hardship. Frenchmen and Italians di iven here by France, of cow se, are in a state of perma nent conQpiraey against her. They cannot me-t without conspiring; every time they dine at the same restaurant it is a revolutionary banquet ; every interchange of letters is a criminal corre- spon - dence, and eyery convening a cAbal. A. foreign language and national peculiarities inter pose no slight obstacle to the surveillance of our police, who might hear a good deal of French and Italian mischief without being the wiser for it. Yet we are to keep a better watch on these people than the Frew') did themselves. This hardthip is now to be aggravated. France threatens another turn of the screw. She is trying high pressure. The bill before the Corps Legislatif places every partisan the least committed against the Emperor er his Government entirely at the mercy of the police. It would hold deportation, the provinces, Algeria, and even the penitential prisons, always hanging over their heads. It would reduce a large propor tion of educated France, perhaps a moiety of those who are capable of opinions, to the condition of convics on their parole. Now, England, with all its demerits, is a pleasanter place of r e sidence than Algeria under the eye of the police ; and an apart ment in the neighbourhood. of Leicester-square is more to the taste of a lively youug Frenchman or Italian than a well-regulwed penitential establish ment. This measure, therefore, if it passes into law, will undoubteJly send us more Frenchmen or Italians, at the very time when the French Go .v.rnment is calling upon us either to get rid of these gentlemen altogether, or to keep them under the eyo of the police. The new pressure there is to be met by an equivalent pressure here. We are bah to have more of these bad subjects, and to take more care of them. The chief pressure of this Bill consists, net in the provisions directed against incendiary publications and c'irrespondenc, the manufacture or possession of destructive materials, or anythingthat may here after be done ; but in the unscrupulous raking up of the past. The seventh article appears to us by the light of our own laws, a terrible one. It places again at the bar, or, to speak more correctly, under durance, the many thousands who were compromised in the tumultuous period of the last Revolution and its results, and who, having paid the penalty, have since lived in peace. It proposes that any person who may have ben arrested in connexion with the.events of May and JunP, 1848, of June, 1849, or December, 1851, and whom "grave facts" may point out as again dangerous to public safety, may be confined in a department of the empire, or in Algeria, or expelled from the territory. The " gravity" of the facts on which a new penalty is to be imposed on these offenders long ago punished, and now free, is, of course, an affair for the Executive, and every petty magistrate or chief of police is to be at liberty to send to Algeria, or to banish from France, any ono who happens to have been suspected ten years ago, and whose name ac cordingly exists is a judicial list. There are men who are made more moderate politicians by having suffered a few months' imprisonment for a monetary indiscretion. There are also men whose ardour is not abated, and whose temper is not softened, by a recollection of this sort, and who therefore occa sionally give vent to sore feelings. In their case ' the least allusion to the past, not in the most peni tential and deferential tone, will be a "grave fact." It has only to be reported in the proper quarter, and 6 hoj- 1-UUT LAVA the ...0 'Liar; 2 a distant department, or hngland before them. They may possibly think the last mentioned the best, and not leave it to the French Executive to decide for them. Thus we are threatened with a new impor tation of Frenchmen and Italians, old offenders, and suspected to be still dangerous. If there should be such an addition to our existing re3ponlibilities, whom have we to thank for it but the framers of this measure ? But we are simultaneously called on to keep persons of this sort in better order ; to watch them ; to " repress" them ; to observe with whom they associate ; to keep account of their buying and selling ; to note their favourite studies ; in a word, to make England do the duty of Algeria, or "a department of the Empire." It appears, indeed, from our Paris correspon dence that this clause has been found happily impossible, and that the boldest of the Emperor's advisers recoil from the prospect of another unprovoked collision with several large class's of Frenchmen. Many of these were prepared to wing their flight at once before the net was spread over them. The clause, therefore, is to be modified. It appears, too, that the insertion of the word " publicly," or the omission of the whole clause directed against offensive language, will probably for the present leave French society' rather less at the mercy of spies than it was to have been placed by this measure. There is still public opinion in France ; or, at all events, some of that goad sense which enables Governments "to see a rock ahead," and give up a dangerous course. But, whether this Bill passes or not, and however it may be curtailed of its terrors, it exhibits the present temper of those who surround the Emperor, and wish to dictate not only his domestic but his foreign policy. The original Bill is only too much of a pieca with the demands made upon the neigh bouring Governments.' We, too, as well as France, were to be asked to apply ourselves to the task of defining, ascertaining, and enrolling the compro mised and still dangerous members of society. We wore to place them under watchful eyes and ears, and to be ready at the imperial summons to impri son, to deport, to surrender—any how to repress them. France herself, it now appears, is not so anxious to augment the responsibilities of Govern ment and the powers of the police. It probably thinks, too, that it has enough espionage already. Much as they value the Emperor, they value them selves also, and they value what is left of their liberty and institutions. England can hardly do less, and it may even do more.

The 18th Light Dragoons (Hussars) were dis banded in 1821, after a brilliant career in the Peninsula and at Waterloo. It was also an Irish regiment - , and was long known by the familiar name of Lord Drogheda's Light Horse, the regi ment having bean raised by the late venerable Marquis of Drogheda, who did not long survive the breaking up of his favourite corps. Many days, it may be safely predicted, will not pass over before men will be found to itecreit the ranks of the two new regiments of Irish Dragoons. General the Hon. Henry Murray, the present colonel-in-chief of the 14th Light Dragoons, was lieutenant-colonel commanding the 18th Hussars at the period of their di , baudment. The late Marquis of Londonderry commanded the old 5:11 Dragoons when they were broken up nearly 60 years ago. The sth and the SccOs Grays were the only cavalry regiments who were permitted to wear the bearskin cap as a dis tiatushin„o head-drts4, the latter still retaining the uncomfortable honour. The caulkers are busily employed in caulking the large screw steamer Hero, 91, at Chatham dock yard, the Admiralty having given orders that she is to be brought forward for launching with all despatch. The Marlborough, 191, new screw three-decker, was commissioned at Portsmouth on Tuesday after noon IT Capt. Lord F. H. Kerr, late of the Water loo, for the flag of Vice-Admiral of the White, Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8., appointed to succeed Ad miral Lord Lybn, G. C. 8., as Commander-in-Chief on the Mediterranean Station. The Marlborough will have a complement of ofliceraand Men amount ing to 1,100 ; she has been taken in hand, and will be got to sea with as much expedition as the wea ther will admit of. Admiral Fanshawe is expected daily at Portsmouth to hoist his flag. The Conway, 14, Capt. John M'N. Boyd, which has been engaged in the Coastguard aervice at Queenstown, arrived on Monday at Plymouth, and on Tuesday was towed from the Sound into Hamoaze. The frigate Amphitrite, 24, Capt. E. Tatham, which has been engaged in the Coastguard service at Milford Haven, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday and was towed to the inner harbour. The screw steam-vessel Lynx, 4, Lieu`.-Corn. mender IL Berkwley, went from Plymouth Sound on Tuesday into Hamoaze. The Terrible steam frigate has been put out of No. 1 dry dock a t Sh eerness, and remains in the fitting basin to complete her fitment for immediate ervice. The Royal George, 102, is ordered to be put out of the fitting basin, being ready for the pendant. The Russell, GO guns, at Sheerness, senior officer in command Lieut. C. D. Robinson, is progressing rapidly with her fitment. Mr. James T. Davis, master, on Monday took up his commission, joined, and superseded Mr. James Bodie, the latter being appointed to the Marlborough, 131, screw steam ship, being fitted at Portsmouth for the Mediter ranean. The following appointments were made yestArd ay at the Admiralty ugtag Cu d‘;.,. uorer Thos. H. Taylor, assistant surgeon, to the Cumberland ; and Edward B.

We are now enable to present our readers with more detailed particulars of the lamentable catastrophe which occurred at the Panty ffnon Station on Friday last, whereby three persons were killed and about 12 or 14 others injured. Those killed are—John Morgan, aged 15, residing at Llangefelach; John Harrij, aged 15, of Llanedy ; and David Davies, aged 18, of Parcyz hynfaoh. The explosion is described by all who witnessed or heard it as most terrific, the report being louder than the loudest piece of artillery, whilst to give some idea of the force of the explosion, we may state that the dome of the engine, which is called the Victoria, .and a piece attached (weighing between. 7 and S cwts.), was pitched a distance of from 130 to 150 yards, over to the other bank of the river. The fore part of the engine was forded over on the tender, and it was here that the unfortunate wan D a vies was found, almost literally jammed to pieces. The right leg of Harris (who was st an d ing on the platform of the station at the time) was found lying on the platform, but the body was found on the other side of the line, with the head almost severed off, and only held by one or two slight ligaments. Morgan (who was also standing on the platform) was found lying dead in afield 60 yards distant, one side of his face and head being ripped completely off. The official inquiry as to the cancau>e of the accident was opened at the Pantyffuon Station yci terday, before Mr. W. Bonville, Esq., coroner for the district. From the • evidence, it appeared that the Victoria was generally used as a ballast engine, and that on the day of the accident it had to take six trucks.from the Panty nos ' Station to the lime kilns at Cilryohar. Being found however, to be of insufficient strength for that purpose, it was exchanged for the Princess Ro.ial engine which • was to have taken up the passenger train, and while . waiting for the latter the boiler of the Victoria suddenly burst and caused the injuries above mentioned. The engine was stationary at the time, and when examined a few minutes before, the steam was net up to the highest pitch of pressure. Among the witnesses as to the previous condition of the boiler was— William Cadwallader, of Garnant, engine -driver on si er e ra il. He i l t e a did es s the Llanelly and Llandilo Railway—He stat e d th at he had been engine - driver on the line for the past 18 or 20 years. He had been the driver of the Vi c t or i a for the m ost part of the time she repaired been from ever since. to l 30 ti mes on th n ot know whether the boiler w hi c h b urst was the same t b ih o ne i c le eb r oh w iele h hr i a c dt h o t b lt he e eanved Victoriabeen ung had had her. Be did not know from 20 knew what cause the boiler burst, but tke safetY .yalv es (Sal. ter's patent) we re on t h e engine, togetherwithSmitk's patent steam gauge ; also, water-gauge and water-cooks —the cocks were neatly new. The Victoria and Albert were the first engines on the Llanelly and Cwmamman Railway. He had not known the boiler of the Victoria to be exchanged and another put in its place since he had been engine -driver to her. He did not know whe ther it was the same boiler which had been repaired so often. The last time the boiler was repaired was about eix months ago. The engine had been in constant Ilse ever since for ballasting purposes. The Victoria engine was engaged pumping water at the New Dock, Llanelly for about six weeks, after which she was taken to the fitting shop to be repaired before she was placed on the line. He had just left the Victoria when the explosion took place. The pressure was then very low, and hal been much higher often times. They could not put on additional pressure without going to Mr. Hepburn, who kept the key. The water-gauge ' and new steam glass. gauge, and three new gauge-cocks, were all right when he gave the engine up to the next driver. There was a slow fire under the engine when he left her. The safety. valves allowed the steam to escape when it was too high. One of the self-acting safety-valves was blown off by the explosion to the distance of 200 yards. He did not know the cause of the explosion, but a boiler might burst from too high or too low a pressure. This closed the evidence given yesterday. go T oo he io j to u , ry in ass o e o m os b e l g ed oen th oe is o d f ay a , bat Di n t o ne e ipst :7 o. 7 o7; .: St inif received from the Board of Trade , tha t s t n ' t down by Yolland, Royal Engineers, wou l d and to ass ist cause of the ac cident , onerous dnties. adjourned until Tuesday therefore, Government to make an o fficial The inquiry wags af investigation v t es he tig c s o t rt l e i r nt* it/ the il next, the 9th but. 0.: 1\1 111.A.L ANNUITY ENDOWMENT ASSOCIATION.
