An effort was made yesterday morning to raise the: vessel, which unfortunately proved unsuccessful.: Three or four relays of men Were employed from an early hour in the morning at the pumps, and they had discharged the greater portion of the water from the hold, when a stout cable was attached to her side, and a tremendous strain was brought to bear on it, which succeeded in raising.-hetPaimost comple'ely, but at the time success appeared-almost certain the cable snapped with an explosion re sembling the report of a cannon, and the vessel felt into her former position. A. number of peoplawere assembled on the quay at the time, and when the rope snapped, imagining that the masts were coming down on them, they instantly 'tithed away, but in their hurry and anxiety to escape, they tumbled over one another, and it was not for some minutes that the noise and confusion ceased.' THE PENINSULAR MAILS. • The steamship Tagus, belonging to the fleet of the Peninsular and Oriental. Company, Captain E. Christian, arrived at Southampton on Saturday afternoon, dune with the above-named mails, in " of Lieut. William Payne, RN., Admiralty agent. She lett Gibraltar on the 16th inst. ; Cadiz, the aline day ; Lisbon, the 19th; Oporto, the 2044 • and Vigo, the 21st. During 'the outrig4.4ass - - the Tagus had strong headwinds and sea ; tilrbree the straits a strong Levanter, which continued on her return, and also along the coast as far as C s ape, St. Vincent ; off Cape Fieisterre strong winds, with head sea ; and the remainder of the voyage a light easterly breeze and fine weather. This steamer brought 12 passengers (7 first-class 3 second, and 2 deck), 43 packages of specie, value of oranges, 3erloingb,oBxoes of sug boxesofapro:l boxes tlaltoes,s3 of 6chests f oeggs, and 53 packages of general merchandise. On the 17th inst., off the Cape St. Vincent, she passed the Royal Mail steamer Teviot, outward bound. The Austrian sloop-of-war Carolina, Captain Koham, 18 days from Asceesion (Cape Verde) ar rived at Gibral ar on the morning of the 14th inst., and saluted the garrison wi h 21 guns at B.e.rn., which was returned by the saluting battery. About a quarter past 9 o'clock the Carolina saluted the Prince of Portugal with 21 guus, which was duly returned by the Pot tuguese brig Pedro Nunez, and' siiortly afterwards tee !mter vessel left the hay for. Tancier arid Lisbon. The Peninsular and Oriental C ..'a steamship Be mires, Cant. Joy, six days from Gravesend, with troops for India, arrived at Gibraltar en the night of the 14th, a-id resumed her voyage ou the follow ing day for Malta and Alexandria.

One of the most striking features of the present period is perhaps the progressive advancement in the memos, of connuobicatien between distant places. One important step in this direction, by which the journey between Paris and London will be brought within ten houisand three-quarters, we understand, comes into operation on Saturday next, the Ist of May. The South-Eastern Railway Company have completed arrangements.with the Northern Railway of France by which the tidal service via Folkestone and Boulogne will be accelerated so as to be performed in less ttan eleven - henesnean unpreceden4.ed speed for any regular service between the two cities. It will be remembered that the extraordinary mails from India during the critical period of the mutiny were frequently conveyed from Perla to London in nine hours (for which the Postmaster-General acknow ledges the cervices of the South Eastern Railway in Lie report just published), and thus by showing what could be done the way was paved for the acceleration of the daily tidal service. To vapidity this service adds other advantages ; the trains are accsmpanied by an inter preting conductor throughout, and the voyage is always performed at tide time, thus obviating the use of small Vale. The humbler classes of continental travellers will here !forth also have the benefit of the short sea route, and a fare by third class trian', via Boulogne, has been established at the low rate of 255. Return tickets will be issued during the ensuing season—an arrangement very acceptable to travellers, as promoting c mvenience and economy. The system of through tickets is being extended, and it is, uo doubt, a great accommodation to travellers proceeding long distances, and over many different lines of railway, to be saved from numberless payments in all varieei , s (f currency. Through tickets can row be had to Berlin, Bremen, Bransvvick, Dresden, Hanover, Her burg, Leiinic, Magdeburg, as well as to the different principal places nearer home. Tnese tickets will shortly be pr,rvided also to Milan, Turie, Geneva, &c. Rapid progress is being made towardr the completion of an eninterrupttd railway communication between Paris and Italy. An additional portion cf line is to be opened in the summer which will give a continuous railway to St. Jean de Maurienne, and towards autumn the entire line from Paris to Milan will be ready for traffic, with the exception of the break between St. Jean and Susa, which is performed by diligence in 12 bone. From the steps now being taken by the railways on this route the journey between Paris and Turin will soon be per.: formed in 28 hours, Milan in 32 hours, Ytnice in 40 hours, and Tiisste in 48 hours—a rapidity which cannot be exceeded by perhaps a• y other route - in - Europe. The communication with the North of Europe has been also improve. The South-Eastern Railway some time since, in co-operation with the Belgian railway autho rities, reduced the journey to Brussels by the day ser vice to 12 hours, and probably further accelerations will soon be accomplished. The comprehensive arrange ments which now exist for the registration of baggaiie to and from the continent relieve the traveller of muds of the annoyanos which he was liable to formerly in this respect. The passport nuisance will be greatly abated by the measures proposed by - the present. ForeiF Secretary, and there is little doub t t hat on t he moval of the restrictions which the recent Frelnoltrarula . tione imposed there will be a fresh impetus givita t : 3 o 4: tinental travel.

The following extract from a letter of a young officer to his mother will be read with interest : "H.M.S. Bloodhound, Lagos, W.C.A., March 7, 1858. " My dearest Mother,—We are this day to leave for England, but as our route is rather a long and tedious one, having to call at so many places, 1 am fearful it will be nearly the latter end of June before we reach home.' " I write now for the last time from this most en chantng spot, and will proceed to inform you of the se vere engagement the boats of the Bloodhound were engaged in the Benin River (being our second action). "In this last I acted as a volunteer, and had a most miraculous escape of being Plot from a battery of swivel guns manned by a parcel of cowardly and b!oodthirsty negroes ; the fist gig was commanded by our gallant captain, Lieut. Chas. Robson, who led tbe way, and on the advance suffered very severely, for it was but a nar row creek, and defended by desperate men, whose bat teries were placed most advantageously. The gig was supported by the cutter, jolly-boat, and dingy, all well armed and manned. Capt. Robson's gig was soon cora l:Lite y riddled, and the boat filled with blood and water ; still on they went, the fire from the marines and blue jackets doing great execution. Although two of our men were killed and six fearfully wounded out of so small a complement in the gig, nevertheless en they pee:sed well supported by determined fellows. Tie lots was occa , doued principally from a masked battery, which, however, we soon boarded and spiked tbe guns, taro of which we now have on the quarter-deck of the Blood hound. "The creek was without exception the most dangerous and difficult passage to enter, being extremely narrow, well commanded by guns concealed in the mangoes, and armed natives in tbe swamps. "The object in attacking this place was to compel Stuart,' a great trading chief, to deliver up a vessel, the property of Messrs. Charles Horefall and Co., of Liverpool, which had been piratically seized, as well as the crew, the latter having been cruelly tortured. We -sueceedel in destroying their batteries, after which we returned to the ship. "A consultat on was bad on board as to the pro priety of destroying the Tew Tew, en idolatrous place of worship situated at the entrance of the creek. We went iu under fire of the ship's gun- , , and pulled it down. I never had imagined previous to this what open boats could accomplish ; and had the cowardly wretches stuck to their guns not one of us could have escaped. "At one angle they had a six-gun battery, loaded to the muzzle, and fronting that a large t-ee had been felled, which lay right across the creek. We were provided with Cult's revolvers, which I believe so astonished the natives with the repetition of fire without re-loading, that they must have thought his sat:nic majesty was lending a hand. How I escaped I know nw.,—but I arn grateful to a mercifui Providence—for we were c,nu plttely hemmed iu it the blacks had taken advantage of our critical position. " Our Captain Robson was foremost in all of if, and when in tbe act of picking off a nigger, he was severely wounds-d in the hand ; but nothing daunted, althoußh he dropped, he continued his orders as coolly as thntigh he was io drawing-room, and this increased the confi dence of officers and men. lam ashamed to say that while the action lasted I felt bloodthirs:y and savage and wicked ; but you must sneke every allowance, my dear mother, for our excitement. " We all thought that our commander was killed, and we determined to aven g e his death, as we thought, at he moment. He behaved most nobly throughout, and gave us an example for coolness which I shall set easily forget. And now I look forward to tell you iu person all I base gone through, and (D.V.) I shall be with you in June next, at which date we may be •uppo,ied to arrive iu England. " LIVINGSTONE'S.

Sir,—As your readers will be gratified to hear the most recent tidings of the great South African explorer, I beg to send you extracts from letters he has addressed to me from Sierra Leone. Your obedient servant, RODERICK I. MURCHISON. Belgrave-square, April 23. "Sierra Leone, March 30. " My dear Sir Roderick,—We have been for five days coaling and watering on the 'grave of the white man,' and, for a sepulchre, it really looks well. From its character I expected to find it a great mud bank like Quilirnane, but found, instead, a rocky promontory, pretty welt covered with tropical vegetation, and having high hilts in the background it presents a beautiful land scape. It is wonderfully free from mosquitoes, that plague of hot climates, even though the atmosphere has the hot steamy feel which prevails where the insect abounde. It is to be hoped that they bare suffered from the ravages of the fever for which this place has become famed, and mea❑ to remain away, Some of the older inhabitants (and, among the rest, Mr. 04.1ficId, the tra veller, whom I was happy to meet here hale and hearty) inform me that Sierra Leane has been much more healthy during the last ten years than it was . previously. T❑is I conclude to be the result of the drainage of Kroo Town, which has been accomplished by the present Governor, Colonel Hill. The streets, which formerly were full of holes, where the water lay stagnant, filthy and green till the sun licked it up, diffasingiu the meanwhile the fatal seeds of fever and de ithi have all been raised in the middle, and runs made for the surface water to flow into the k ea. This is a great impeovement, and a corresponding amelioration of public health has been the result. That, however, which we is Saw lend call the Whiskey fever' cannot be cured by governors, and climates are often blamed for the effects of the dram and other irregularities. " We were here on Sunday last, and saw an ordina tion ecrvice by the bishop, an energetic good man. He was a missionary formerly, and a better man for a bishop could not have been selected. The Sunday is wonderfully well observed, as well, I think, as ny %here in Scotland. Looking at the change effected among the people, and comparing the masses here with what we find at parts along the coast where the benign in fluences of Christianity have had no effect, the man,' even, who has no no❑sense about him,' would be ob liged to confess that England has done some good by her philanthropy ; aye, Ind an amount of good that will look grand i❑ the eyes of posterity. A ewe largo ship, the Ceteutta, came in here to coal. This would be a better place for that and for getting re freshments than St. Viucent's if the means were " a s t v o i i p le L s i p t e m ak us s To o N f E t . pro vided for doing what is eedel quickly, for no port dues are charged during the first 96 hour .

Excellency, the Com mander-in-Chief was under the strongest impres sion that Brigadier Carthew . had retired from his pest, on the 28th of November, without orders, and that no discretionary power had been given to him. Sir Colin Campbell conceived it to be an i imperative duty to m ark wha t he considered to bt i a violation of one of the first principles of war. It appears, however, that his Bxcellency's impression was erroneous, and it is a platter of the sincerest THE GREAT SOCIAL EVIL QUESTION AGAIN. On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylehone Re presentative Council, held at the Court-house—Mr. Cnnrch warden Soden in the chair, The Rev. Mr. WirearoT, the rector of All Soule, pre sented a memorial, signed by 123 inhabitants of Port land place and its vicinity, stating that inasmuch as the vestry had not taken any steps for ridding the neighbour hood of refemous houses, they feared that the parties who had previously refested tne neighbourlood of Charlottt street and Norton-street sere returning back to their old haunts, and that unless some energet ic ste p s were taken the evil would soon be as great as ever. The • inemorial, therefore, urged the vestry to energy in the prosecution of the ja ties, in which the association formed for the purpu e of checking street prostitution was prepared to assist them. Tee Rev. Mr. WILMOT moved that the memorial I.e received and entered upon tee minutes. Mr. NICEiOLAY seconded the motion. Mr. TAVENER contended that it was perfectly useless for the parish to be wasiieg its money upon a question which was one for Gsvernmental or Parliamentary legie. lat,on. It was a peifeot act of cruelty to keep persecut ing these women by driving them from place to place. The legislation upon this subject as at present was like a revolving whe. I ; as soon as these persons were moved from one place they went round to another. If the Marylebone portion of the wheel threw them off they got into St. Pancras, and as the St. Paucras wheel went round they came back again to St. Marl I,bone, to St. James's, and other places. Mr. MALTBY complained of the narrow view Mr. Tavener took of this question, and contended that it was the legal duty a the vestry, when these things were brought under their notice, to put a stop to them as tar as practicable. Professor MARRS also thought the subject was one which ought to be dealt with in a more comprehensive spirit than eves parochial legislation. Mr. M•EveLY contended that it was the duty of that vestry to find the funds to proseoute in such case', and it the aggrieved parties did so themselves they could re• sever the tunes cf :he vestry. Dr. BACHIIOFFNER, Mr. VEREY, and other gentlemen having offered some °beer% atione . Mr RODGER said the memorial wasindefinite, as it said the memorialists "had reason to fear that the parties complained of were returning to the houses . " He hal understood from Mr. Stewart it was a fact, and, there fore, why not state it as fact ? He moved as an amend ment, or rather addition, " That the memorial be re ferred to a committee, to confer with the gen rt tleme to tn heof the Portland-place Association, and to repo as kind of assistance the latter were likely to afford the vestry. Mr. VEREY •econded this addition. Dr. GOURLEY said he had several times written to Sir Re Mayne on this suejeot, and be bad replied to him that he received quite as many complaints from gentlemen of the impertinent interference of the police with the street females es he did of the solicitations of the females them. selves. He thought the best thing for the Portland•place Association to do was to engage twenty policemen themselves, and let them be continually dodging thee' people about. (Laughter.) The motion, with Mr. Hodge's addition, was thea carried. The report ‘, as then brought up for consideration. The Rev. T. GARNIER, rector of Trinity, said he bad great pleasure in moving the adoption of the re c ort, and also that a copy be forwarded to the Secretary of S fur the Home llspartment. The public press had very properly denominated this our greatest social evil. It was, indeed, a disgrace and scandal to the country, and way sapping its foundation. Mr. I'AVENER seconded the adoption of the report. Professor MARKS was for going much further than his col!eagues in this matter. At the same time he would not go the length of a certain yes ry, which de-ired that these unfortunates shou.d not be treated as it they were human flesh and blond. . _ Mr. blesoN said the main cause of this misfortune was the disgraceful emolument given to female labour. There was an estabLshment in that parish, facing a church, where from 40 to 50 young women were em ployed in cloak-making, and they were paid at the rate of 2i{l. per cloak, and it was impossible for theta to earn more than 7A. each per day, and find their needles and silk, 3G0., oui of it. (Shame, shame.) What could they expect when female labour was remunerated at such an abominable rate ? (Hear, hear ) Mr. SMART moved an amendment that this report be referred with the memorial to the committee. He could not agree that there should be such restrictions put upon these poor women or upon the houses called disorderly houses. It was a great questi,n how to de fine a disorderly house. Mr. VEREY complained that it was the gentry who supported these dens of infamy. Only a short time back an elderly man came up to his house, whieb, as they knew, war a public-house, in his carriage, with his livery ser vant behind, and actually had the audacity to come and ask him to inform where he could find a notorious house of the description in the neighbourhood. This was in broad day. (Hear, hear.) Af er some further remarks the report was adopted, and a copy directed to be forwarded to the Secretary of State. The board, after other important business, adjourned. It appears from an advertisement for the sale of the late Mademoiselle Rachel's mansion, in the Ru Trudon, posted on all the walls of Paris on Saturday, that Count Walewski, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has, in the forms admitted by French law, acknowledged Licoself to be the father of one of her children, who, with his Excellency's sanction, bears the name of Alexandre. Antoine Walewski. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—The female cos tumes have undergone a complete change here in the Imperial groupe, being entirely new and of the most splendid description..

Oa Saturday an important meeting in the matter of winding up this unfortunate undertaking was held at the chambers of Vice-Chancellor Wood, before Mr. Leman, his chief clerk, to proceed to make a call on all the shareholders in A, being the holders of shares at the date of t'he winding-up ordf,r, and also on those included in Class C, being shareholders who had transferred their shares within three years prior to the date of such order, the amouut of call proposed to be made being at the rate of 501. per share. Tie financial statement of Mes=rs. Stuart and Ball, the official managers ebgagei in investigating and in winding up the bank, set forth that the liabilities of the corporation on the 6th of April last amounted 193,5121., which amount was made up asfollows :—drawing accounts, 2001. ; de posit accounts, ex interest, 7,042/. ; bills payab'e, 107,7001.; Delhi Bank, 2,000/.; Uncovenauted Ser vice Bank, 570/. ; Indian claims, 13,000/. ; Orien tal Bank, 63,000/. ; total, 193.5121. The actual and eitnu tied assets of the corporation amounted to 102,750/., made up as fellows :—Cavh in hind, 1,100/.J Bank houses in Pall-mall (leasehold), and King William-street (leasehold), 000/. ; bill 3 re ceivable current, 4,500/. ; past-due bills, say 35,250,/. ; sundry debtors, say 10,0001. ; Brauk sf,a Lland, arid other asset ,, , 50,0001. ; total, 102,750/. Tile official managers believed that the above estimate of the assets and liabilities was fair and reasonable, but the assets were insufficient to meet the liabilities by the sum of 90,7621., or the: e about% To meet this deficiency it weal be neees- saty to make a call on the shareholders of 501. per share, but inasmuch as on a call being made prior to the winding-up order—viz., on the 9th April last, of 15/. per share, and a similar call on the 14th July last, many of the shareh elders have made payments in respect of the same, such shareholders will have credit for the amount so paid. In arriving at the necessity of a call I:),.ing made of 501. per _ share, the official managers liad used the following estimate of the result of the said calls, and which ;hey believed to be fair and reasonab!e :—Uucol ecte:l arrears of call of the 9th of April, 1857 rwhic,li was to produce nominally 75,000/.), 40,000/, of which the avilable amount is 10,000/. ; call the 14th of July, 1857, of which the available amount is 45,000/. ; a further call of 201. per share, `to pro duce nominally 100,000/., of which the estimated availftble amount would be 60,000/. ;—totsl 115,0001. If a call of 501. per share were made the official managers believed that, after giving credit for sums paid on account of the calls of April 9 and July 14, it would not produce more than the above e timated amount of 115,0001., and that the margin of 24,238/., which it was estimated that the call of 50/. per share would produce in excess of Vie deficiency of 90,7621., was a fair and reasonable margin ti insure the discharge of the liabilities of the bank, and to cover cont ngencies arising from interest, cost=, and charges, and other sources which could not now be specifically estimated. Considerable discussion—in which Lie et.-Colonel Tucker, Colonel Bevan, Colonel Yates, and others connected with the East India Company's service, and through their solicitors; took part—ensued on this proposition for a call on 501. pershare on share holders in Class A. Messrs. Burchell, solicitors to the official mana gers, sated that although it had been proposed to make the e ill on Class C, still, from Vie present un certain state of the law in regard to the transfer of shares, the call on them would not bo pressed at the present moment, and it was probable it would not be necessary to call on shareholders in Class C for payment. Messrs. Tatham, Upton, and Johnstone, Messrs. Smith and Nels in, solicitors for sundry share holders in this category, applied that the call in respect of Ciass C should be discharged. The Clerk ordered a discharge, but refused payment of coats. Lieut.-Colonel Tucker said he was a large share holder, and that without his consent his Immo was published in the company's prospectus as a director, and sent out to India. He regret t ed to find that Major-General Uorfield and Gen. Brooke and others, who had taken an active part in the affairs of ie bank, and held shares largely, now sought to obtain exemption from their liability, while numbers of military officers in the East India C o mpany's service, and ladies and civilians con nected with India, who bad embarked the hard earned savings of years in this bank, were sought, , to be held liable, to their loss and ruin. He should strongly object to their names, and that of Mr. G. H. Smith and Mr. Stephens and others, being erased from the list of those to be held liable. It was a point of honour with him to protect the ab sent shareholders. He (Lieut.-Colonel Tucker) had already contributed 8,000/., and was about to pay 4,0001. more, although he had been grossly deceived by the misrepresentations of the managers of this bank, and he hoped that other directors and shareholders would be compelled to pay their just quota. On the ground of moral and commercial principle he felt it to be his duty to call the atten tion of the public and of the Attorney-General to the gross mismanagement and to the transactions that had taken place in this bank between four of its directors--Colonel Waugh, Mr. Stephens, Mr. G. IH. Smith, and Mr. Griffith—among whom a very gross breach of trust had been committed, by which the unfortunate shareholders were saddle.! with the total loss of money they had invested iu the London and Eastern Banking Corporation, together with the 50/. per share they were now called on to pay. If the official managers, Messrs. Stuart and Ball, did their duty on behalf of the shareholders, which he hoped they would do, they would work this matter out and carry it into a public court. Were he (Lieut.-Colonel Tucker) not now a ruined man through the transactions of the directors of this bank he would himself retain the first men at the bar for the purpose, but he now called on the official managers to protect the inte rests of the shareholders, believing that they were well and handsomely paid by the Court of Chan cery to do it. During Ihe last few months he had written to them continually, and had pointed their attention to several matters that appeared to have escaped their observation, and he felt con vinced that if this affair was properly sifted Mr. G. H. Smith would be found liable for 19,000/. 2 and the other directors in proportionate amounts, and justice would be done to all parties. He (Lieut.- Col. Tucker) was induced to go into the bank on the representations of Smith that it was a flourish ing concern, and that he (Smith) held 400 shares, which 400 shares, however, he sold in three weeks after ; that Col. Waugh was a leading man in Lon don ; that he had married a lady worth 25,000/. a-year, had introduced an immense business to the bank ; that his personal property was very great, and his real property 70,000/. a-year ; and although in March, 1857, the affairs of the bank and the de linquencies of Stephens were not fully known, there was quite enough to damn him. It would he hiT c ,hy r desirable to have these gentlemen examined on their oaths and honour. In conseq uence of their_ con duct be (Col. Tucker) bad to sell hiS house and fur niture to meet this call. After some further discussion the call was made, and declared payable cn the 3st May. [ -n - RIM 4U . S :'AmpED 5 u THE SBWAGE OF TO VISS. • Tha preliminary report of the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the best mode of distri butink'the sewage of towns has been laid on the table`of the House of Commons. TheiCommissioners state that they have paid par ticular attention to the case of London, and have appended the line of a plan, which is altogether new, for dealing with the sewage of the metropolis. This is the leading feature of the report ; but the Commissioners first describe the nature of the in quiries that' have led to the conclusions at which they have arrived. _ It is observed that the abolition of cesspools and the general adoption of waterclosets having ren dered necessary a more extended system of sewers of greater capacity, the discharge of so large a body of sewage into town rivers must be productive of nuisance and disease among the inhabitants upon the banks. The Thames, before it reaches the point from which the water supply of London is at present derived, receives the refuse of districts containing upwards of 700,000 persons. Not only is the water, when polluted with sewage matter, eminently unfit for human consumption, but it de stroys the fish, as was the case at Leicester, until the liquid sewage was rendered innocuous by chemical processes, since which time the fish have again appeared. In the prosecution of their in quiries the Commissioners have visited Tottenhatn, Croydon, Leicester, and Cheltenham, in which towns works are carried on for the purification of the sewage ; also Rugby, Watford, R us h o l me, Mansfield, and Edinburgh, where sewage is applied iu a liquid state to the adjacent lands, besides sevee ral farms over which manurt is used in a sibsilar manner ; and a deputation visited Milan to observe the sewage manuring processes adopted in the neighbourhood of that city. The results have been found so satisfactory that in some cases very valu able meadows have been created from that which was formerly mere barren sea sand, while the ab sorption is so rapid that no offensiveness is appre ciable, even in hot weather, within•five minutes after the application of the liquid. For large towns the Commissioners are of opinion that the precipitation process is the best, allowing the water after purification to pass off, and leaving the thick " slude" alone to be usel for manuring purposes. This, therefere, is the plan which they propose for London. Convinced by the representations of Mr. Golds worthy Gurney that the mere diversion of the sewage will net purify the Thames from its present foul conditien, the eff-ct of past accumulations, the Commissioners recommend the itninediate execu tion of the embankment scheme, propounded by Oe Metropolis Improvement Commission of 1844. Advanced terraces being constructed, co etineous on the surface, but aff ,rding convenient entrances to inter basins for the wharfs above London bridge, reservoirs are to be formed in the embank ments adjacent to the mouths of the existing sewers, into which all the sewage is to be received and deodotised, and from which—the purified water being first allowed to flow into the river—i he pre cipitated matter will be puiupe I into the country or to the see. The reservoirs and apparatus are to beneath the surface, and consequently invisible ; so that no nuisance whatever can be apprehended. The subsidiary parts cf the scheme are the adorn ment of the river, the relief of the streets by the tea-Ace carriage ways between London and West mins er, and the connection by railroad of the existing termini on the southern shore. The cost of the entire works is estimated at 3,250,0001., ex clusive of any approaches which may be formed in connection with the new thoroughfares. _ _ The report extends to 35 octavo paps, eclusive of an appendix, and insigne i,— ESSEX.

Yesterday forenoon his Royal flighneEs, accom panied by his suite, returned to Cork from Killar ney. From the local join mils we learn that—" In t inn! ion of his arrival was conveyed to Queenstowr, and on the departure of the Royal Alice, C.tptain LivingstJn, for Cork, he was d:rected to call at the Great Southern and Western Railway, and there embark the Princ3 and the gentlemt n who accompanied him. The few minutes of delay that intervened between the arrival of the train and the time th it the steamt-r approached the quay alracled a considerable number of persons, who regarded the Prince with the greatest interest. His Royal Highness has evidently male good use of the time that he spent at the Lrkss, as be carried with him numerous spe.iirnens of the beautiful nrieties of wood that grow on the romantic shores, as also some enormous stag's horns, au I other trophies of the cha•Fe. After entering on board the Royal Aline, she immediately steamed towards Qoe...nstown, and being recognised at various points along the liver, the Prince received the most cordial greetings from the persons assembled at those places. It is ex - - 1 pected that the Osborne w• 11 leave Queenstown this (Friday) evening, and her destination is supposed to be Bristol." THE VICEREGAL COURT.

The "season" is consider, d closed at the C.lstle, according to usage, at this ptlied of the ye :r. It is likely, however, there will be further receptions there. THE BUDGET. The honourable and Ultramontane member for Dongarvan, who cannot be suspected of expressing fay.urable opinions on •Ve measures of he govern ment, save so far as he may believe they are calcu lated to serve the country at large and himself as no unimportant unit in the population—in writing from London to his readers in the Cork Examiner says:-- " From my knowledge of the feeling which exists with respect to the financial scheme of the Chancellor, I can asure you that it is one of the most popular which I can remember, and that it has done a good service to the cabinet from which it emanated, " J. F. M." This is, we are satisfied, an honest opinion—one that Mr. Maguire felt he could safely express to his constituents at Dungarvan as well as to the supporters of the Cork Examiner. The Carlow Sentinel has the following remarks in a clever article in praise of the budget : " As usual, a loud yell was raised by some Irish members against the additional duty on Irish spirits ; but although the distillers may complain, they laugh in their sleeves, to borrow a homely expression, as the additional duty will be charged on their stock in bond, and it is the consumer who will pay for it. Now, as whisky is not a necessary of life, those who object to pay additionally for the poisons vended in grog-shops, may either abstain from it altogether, or resort to good ale—as our forefathers Aid—or as the stalwart yeomanry of England do to this day. There was no alternative but an income tax, or a tax upon the poor man's necessaries of life, tea or sugar ; and the Irish people will not be sorry, until the times become more pros ' perous, that Irish distillers should sell less whisky, or add, at the expense of the public health, to the already enormous fortunes which they have imper ceptibly amassed. The only argument against equalising the duties ou spirits throughout the three kingdoms was, that illicit distillation would extend, and potteen distilleries overshadow the land ; but Mr. Disraeli showed the absurdity of this argument, by pointing out the moral status which our countrymen were likely to attain, in a country daily improving and becoming more pros p 'rolls. But we entertain no apprehensions of the spread of illicit distillation, with a disciplined force such as the Irish constabulary, whose local know ledge, intelligence, and vigilance will prove more than a match for the potteen manufacture.rl7, whether in Kerry, Donegal, or Mayo.
