The Flora Temple was a first class ship, and hav ing been chartered for the conveyance of Coolies, sailed from Macao on the morning of the Bth of last October. Her crew, including officers, were about fifty men, and four days after leaving port they encountered a heavy gale of wind from the southwest, with a high sea. Sail was reduced, and although on the morning of the 14th the gale had abated, it continued southwest, and Capt. Johnson declined making more sail, being apprehensive that a current might set the ship to the east ward, in the direction of reefs which were marked upon the chart. Tho sights obtained at noon were good, and the position of the ship ap peared to be so far (30 miles) to the westward of the most westerly reefs in the latitude in which they then were, that the captain, having directed a good lookout to. be kept, apprehended no danger from standing on until 8 p.m., at which hour he had given instructions that the vessel should be put about. 'At 7.20 p.m. he came on deck from the tea table, and, in answer to inquiry, was informed by the officer of the watch that a good lookout had been kept from the topsail-yard. The officer was sent forward to see, however, and had barely reached the forecastle; when the cry of " Hard up" was heard from the look-out. The helm was imme diately put hard up, and the spanker lowered, and no sooner was this done than " Hard down" was heard from the officer, who by this time had come aft again to the gangway. It was then discovered that the ship was within a short tance of the breakers, Which c.uld now be dis tinctly seen and heard, and which extended in a curved line from about four points on the starboard bow to about three points on the port bow. It seemed impossible a long ship like the Fl )ra Temple could escape them, and although the yards were braced round, and the ship hove aback, she struck first slightly, and then very soon afterwards several times with a tremendous crash, the breakers run ning very high alongside: Pieces of her timber and planking floated up on her port side, and after some more very heavy bumps she remained apparently immoveable, with a heavy list to port, and the water rapidly increased till it reached between the decks, where the Coolies were. It was found impossible to extricate her. While this was going on (indeed, almost imme diately after the ship struck) a fear that the coolies would rise and murder all on board seemed to have possessed the minds of the crew, and to such a height did this rise that the captain (having at the time, however, no intention of abandoning the ship), had the two quarter boats lowered, and placed an officer and five men in each, with orders to re main close to the ship, so that refuge and assistance might be at hand. The crew appeared to have been thoroughly unmanned, their only anxiety was to get out of the ship, and but for the captain and his brother, and a few others on board, the boats would have left the ship absolutely unprovided with the necessaries of life. These boats were lowered at 10 o'clock. At 12 o'clock the other boats were got out, and there re mained the long boat, which the panic-stricken men had declared it was impossible to get out. Only 15 of the crew remained on board, and the labour and difficulty in getting the boat out was immense. At length it was got over th© side at 4 a.m., and with its crew passed Barely through the breakers. Before leaving the ship the lead was hove ; four fathoms were got under the bows and stern, and three fathoms amidships. Immediately through the breakers there was no bottom at 14 fathoms. _ _ At break of day the ship appeared to be almost 1 without motion. Her masts were standing, she had a strong list to port, her back was broken, anti the sea making a clear breach over her starboard quar ter. The coolies, who had remained below all night, were now up and clustered on the upper decks. The captain, after passing round the northern extremity of the lines of breakers, joined the starboard-quarter boat, which had the smaller boats in company, the port-quarter boat with the second mate in charge having deserted during the night, alarmed probably at the guns which were fired from the ship, and which to them seemed to denote the dreaded outbreak of the Coolies. The crews of the dingier were then transferred to the longboat and quarterboat, and at 9 a.m. sail was made to the westward. The wind then rose to a severe gale from W.S.W., with a tremendous sea and heavy rain, and the boats parted company. From Saturday, the 15th, till the following Friday the gait continued without abatement, and serious apprehension was felt for the safety of the starboard quarterboat, which contained Mr. Marshall, the mate, nine men, and two boys, and the port quar terboat, which had in her the second mate, Mr. Wal ton, and five men. The longboat contained 31, in cluding Capt. Johnson, his brother, and Mr. A. P. Childs, the surgeon. Throughout the seven days while the gale lasted, this boat was hove to under a close-reefed mainsail with a bucket veered out to 20 fathoms. Most of them had saved nothing but what they stood in. The boat was an open one, and they were drenched with the seas which broke over them, and with the rain which fell night and day. They were covered with salt water boils and suffered nine pain. A biscuit and half a pint of water a day was all they dared to venture on, and sleep was almost impossible. On the Saturday the wind and sea abated. Fortunately the cap tain had saved his sextant and a chart, and as they found the boat drifted by the gale as far as 13 degrees N., it was determined to make for Touron, the French settlement in Cochin China. On the Wednesday, 12 days after leaving the wreck, land was made to the south of Touron. The boat was made fast to a fishing stake all night on account of the strong current which had swept her to the south the day before, and on the following evening they came in sight of the French squadron. Finding it impossible to weather the Cape that night they put into a small fishing harbour, where they were most hospitably treated, and on the next evening, the 28th, they reached Touren. They were received on board his Imperial Majesty's steamer Gironde, and Capt. Johnson at once put himself in communication with the French Admiral, M. Page, and begged him to send in search of the missing boats as well as to rescue the Coolies. With the greatest readiness the request was com plied with, and the Gironde was despatched to the scene of the disaster, Capt. Johnson, his brother, and Mr. Childs, the surgeon, accompanying her. They came in sight of the red on the afternoon of the 2d of November. The sea still rolled and broke as before ; but no remnant could be seen of the ship till on proceeding closer in a boat her port side from the main chain forward could be observed floating. Of the 830 coolies no traces remained. Close to the reef, within a short distance of the wreck on the S.E. side, the boat sounded, and found no bottom at 27 fathoms, and within a mile to north west there was no bottom at 70 fathoms. The breakers extended about half a mile in a curved line. They were very narrow not over 150 yards in width. The position, according to the calculation on board the Gironde, 10 19 N., 113 13 E., while Captain Johnson made it in 10 16 N. and 113 20 E. Nothing remained to be done. The unhappy Coolies had, doubtless, perished and the Gironde at once shaped a course for Manilla, where she arrived on the evening of the Bth of November. It is stated that it was impossible to make any attempt to save the Coolies. Captain Johnson and his brother are very humane and courageous men, but the crew were so terrified that it was almost . by exertions beyond belief on the part of the captain, his brother, and a few others, that t he safety of that o f the crew even was secured. It appears, however, they had some reason for distrusting tlieCoolies at this crisis. On the Monday after they left . Macao, all seemed comfortable an d cheerful ; teir food was plentiful and good , an d their_ . state was well cared for, the necessary ord er and discipline among them being enforced by their own head men exclusively. On the Tuesday morning, at seven o'clock, however, three days after leaving Macao, the watch on deck being scattered about the ship, and the guard at the port gate of the barricade which was erected between the Coolies and crew (who slept aft , being away f rom hi s pos t , th e coo lies, who ha collected on deck in large numbers, suddenly fell upon the guard at the starboard gate, struck him on the head with an iron belaying-pin as he was stooping down, drew out his sword and having cut him frightfully, afterwards, with cruel C ' / - THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1860. 211 E NAVE. -- The screw steamer Rodney, 91, fitting for the first division of the steam reserve, is having her ma chinery put on board by the contractors, who hare a number of men employed in the work. The Rod ney remains lashed to the sheer hulk to be in readi ness to receive her masts. The screw steamship Royal Albert, 120, Captain Lacon, continues in Plymouth Sound waiting orders. The screw steamship Conqueror, 101, Captain Sotheby, was hauled out of No. 3 dock in Keyham Steamyard on Friday, and put in the lock. On Saturday she was taken alongside the sheer hulk Kent, and received her mainmast. She was then placed at her moorings. The screw steamship Nile, 93, Capt. E. R. Bar nard, will be docked to-day (Monday) at Keyham Yard, Plymouth. Her topmasts are stripped. The screw steamship Sanspareil, 72, Capt. Wil mot, was hauled out of the basin in the Devonport dockyard on Friday and placed alongside the hulk Vigo in Harnoaze to complete her fitment. The topsail yards of the screw steamship Revenge, 90, at Plymouth, are crossed, and the lower yards are athwart the nettings ready for sending aloft. The paddlewheel steam tender Avon, 3, second Master G. Davey, from Pembroke, arrived at Ply mouth on Saturday. She touched at Penzance to enter men for the Royal navy. The paddle-wheel steam-sloop Basilisk, 6, Com mander G. A. Phayre, lately from North America and the West Indies, is ordered to be paid off at Woolwich on Wednesday next. The naval transport Diligence, J. Head, master, from Woolwich, arrived at Plymouth on Friday, with stores for the dockyard. The revenue cutter Royal Charlotte, from Pem broke, arrived at Plymouth on Friday. The Board of Admiralty has decided on taking the examinations of candidates for apprenticeship in Chatham Dockyard entirely out of the hands of the dockyard officers, and placing them under the control of the Civil Service Commissioners, who are directed to attend at Chatham dockyard on the oc casion of the next examination. The Lords of the Admiralty have fixed the examination of the candi dates for this year's entry to take place on the 23d and 24th inst., on which days the candidates for apprenticeship in Sheerness dockyard will assemble at Chatham, in order that the whole number may be examined at the same time. The lads will all be required to undergo a physical test, and must con form to the rules laid down by the Director-General of the Medical Department of the Navy. This ar rangement has given great satisfaction, as it will put an end to that system of favouritism by the local officers which has been complained of, not only at Chatham, but at the other Royal dockyards. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. C. S. Sulivan and Lieut. J. J. W. Jervis, additional, to the Hawke; Dr. L. T. Cunningham, staff surgeon, to the For midable ; J. S. Davidson, surgeon, to the Algiers ; S. Donnelly, surgeon, to the Cumberland ; C. Smith, surgeon, to the Hawke ; Dr. W. H. Lloyd, assistant-surgeon, to the Nile; Robert Murphy, assistant-surgeon, additional, to the Formidable; A. R. Moxham, acting 3d-class assistant-engineer, to the Asia, as supernumerary ; G. H. Doming, second master, to the Nile ; G. Harris, second master, to the Impregnable; and G. W. Burnett, master's as sistant, to the Chesapeake. THE EMPEROR AND TUE ITALIANS. The following article, signed "A. Peyrat," ap pears in the Presse : When Jupiter would shake the world he had only to frown. The Emperor of the French, when he would move Europe, has only to open his mouth or to sit down to his writing-desk. Since he can make peace or war according to his will, he is in the eyes of all other governments the mind and t.L..e arm of France ; he holds them all, so to speak, sus pended on his lips or hanging on the tip of his pen. A year ago his speech to M. de Hubner gave an entirely new direction to the course of affairs, and overthrew all the combinations of diplomacy. Now, his letter to Pius IX., showing that the most serious complications have survived the war, has thrown public opinion into new.perplexities. The semi-offi cial press, in its intolerable optimism, expresses the opinion that this letter simplifies the situation. The E-nperor of the French,w ith more modesty and frank - nose, is far from pretending that all difficulties are at an end. In his St. Cloud speech he confessed that he had had the pain of leaving his programme incom plvte. In his letter of Dec. 31 he says to the Pope, " Your Holiness will understand the difficulty of my situation." The especially strikinr , part of this letter is the sentiment of the incompatibility which exists in the mind of the French Emperor between his feelings towards the Pope and his engagements to the Italians. " I cannot," he tells the Pope, " escape a certain degree of solidarity with the effects of that national movement which was pro voked in Italy by the struggle with Austria." This solidarity, born of the force of things—a solidarity which explains the imperturbable confidence of the Italians—is something more than relative ; it has governed the situation for the last six months, and will for a long time to come rule the foreign policy of France. On Jan. 1, 1859, the Italians - had no thought of war. They were surprised, in common with the rest of Europe, by the speech of M. de Hubner. The Emperor of the French, in his mani festo of May 3, declared that Austria hart brought things to such an extremity that she must either dominate as far as the Alps, or Italy must be free from the Alps to the Adriatic ; they felt within their bosoms a revival of those hopes which they lost at Novara. Their joy redoubled, and they looked upon their independence as certain on the day when there went forth from Milan this appeal to their wisdom and courage. " Profit by the for tune offered to you. Be only soldiers to day, and to-morrow you shall be citizens of a great nation." This appeal, issued on June 8, after the battle of Magenta, and when the Lombards were already emancipated, was plainly addressed to all Italy. And accordingly the Italians, blonding all their aspira tions, had thenceforth only the one thought of found ing a great country inhabited by free citizens. All on a sudden, in the midst of their enthusiasm, they learned that the two emper ors had met at Villafransa, and that alone in a little chamber, tete-4-tote with a nosegay before them, in the space of a single hour they had settled the fate of Lombardy and Venetia, and reserved the rights of the fugitive princes—in other words, had called in question the rights of those populations which had been invited to choose an independent existence. Surprised by the peace as they had been by the war, the Italians, never theless, did not give way to discouragement. They had been told, " Profit by the fortune that offers itself to you. Providence sometimes favours nations as it does individuals, by giving them an opportu nity to grow great all at once, but this is on the condition that they show themselves equal to the occasion." The Italians at Bologna arid Florence did profit by the opportunity, and thinking that the only way to grow great all at once was to form a state of ten or twelve millions of souls, they de manded to be annexed to Piedmont, already aug mented by the addition of Lombardy. Whatever may be thought of this their determination—whe ther it may or may not be thought blameable, it is abundantly evident that it was the effect of the " national movement provoked by the struggle with. Austria," from a solidarity with which the French Emperor admits that he cannot escape. It might, however, have been thought that he intended to limit this solidarity to the movement in Romagna ; but this is shown in the pamphlet to be altogether a mistake, and on this point the pamphlet, naturally more explicit, explains and completes the letter of Dec. 31. The right of self-emancipation from Pon -nfined to the he n =e " . sand Umbria have the 11103 r i it flcal dom tin go in n h tas aia l r the like reason ; and, consequently, if to morrow Ancona and Ravenna were to separate themselves from the Holy See, their insurrection, just like that at Bologna, would be " an effect of the national movement provoked by the struggle against Austria," and would carry with it the same soli darity. The pamphlet admits this ; and pur suant to this reasoning, the pamphlet would leave to the Pope, of all the 21 provinces which he now possesses, xothing but "a little corner of earth sequestered from the passions and interests which agitate other peoples, and devoted exclusively to the glory of God. This project, although far more radical than the letter, is yet incomplete. But why do you inflict, for the sake of relig ion, on the souls and rights of t w o or three hu ndred thousand men the mutilation formerly practised on other creatures for the sake of music? And if these creatures of the Papacy, according to the pamphlet, fatigued with the "sweet and calm vistas of the spiritual world," should imitate their brethren at Bologna and Ancona, would you renew the expe dition of 1849 for the purpose of teaching them to remain content with contemplation, the arts, the study of great historical traditions, and prayer ? As right and justicedo not happen to be a geogra phical question, you cannot censure at Rome what you approve at Bologna, and as the Emperor of the French says very truly in his letter to Pio Nono, 4 , Facts hare an inexorable logic," against which you contend in vain. What is to be done, then ? For in short, as the letter of December 31 alto says, "this uncertainty cannot last for ever." The Emperor of the French thought that what was " most in conformity with the interests of the Holy See" would be to make a sacrifice of the revolted provinces, and ask the powers to guarantee the rest. At once England replies that she will guarantee nothing, and then the Pope declares he will not give up one tittle of what ho regards as his right and duty. He does not exactly adopt Hildebrand's method, he launches no ecclesiastical thunderbolts, he does not thunder out excommunication as yet ; but, in the meantime, the vivacity of his language announces an im movable will. So, between the court of Rome ani mated with the spirit that inspired the Pode's answer to General de Goyon, and the French Go vernment faithful to the spirit that inspired the pamphlet, no arrangement is possible. There is still the Congress. Supposing it does meet, it will not choose, we miry be sure, to regis ter purely and simply the stipulations of Villa franca and the arrangements of Zurich. A solemn and controversial debate will commence on the state of Italy. If this debate be merely consultative, the result, be it what it may, will not at all change the situation. If, on the contrary, the Congress in tends giving to its decision the sanction of force, and if that decision be contrary to the state of things now existing in the Duchies and Romagna, what will France and England do, engaged as they , are, the one to admit no discussion about the abso lute right of the Italians, the other to refrain from interference herself and to prevent all other inter vention ? It is not to be supposed that they will yield, and the Times thinks that their sincere and perfectly authentic accord will discourage all oppo. sition. Possibly ; but, for all that, should the Congress remain firm, should it yield no more than France and England will, we do not see how Europe can escape a general conflict. Such is the situation which the semi-official jour nals represent as being " very much simplified."

OPENING OF TILE PRUS,SLIN CHAMBERS. The following is the speech of the Prince Regent of Prussia on opening the Chambers—an analysis of which has been transmitted by telegraph : Illustrious Nobles and Honoured Gentlemen of the two Chambers of the Diet,—ln dismissing you last year on the eve of your return to your horres, we implored God to grant the restoration to health of ear beloved King and lord. But to my great sorrow - and that of the country, it was not in the decrees of the Almighty to lessen the sufferings of his Majesty. Grave events have been accomplished in Europe. The war which broke out in Italy approached in its rapid course the German frontiers. To the gravity of that situation the firmness of our at titude had to respond. I accordingly ordered the mobilisation of six corps d'armee. Already had those corps began to take up positions, in concert with the troops of the German Confederates not en gaged in the conflict, when the war suddenly ended. The preliminaries signed at Villafranca were fol lowed by the conclusio❑ of poace. On the common invitation of Austria and France my government declared itself ready to take part in a European Congress to deliberate on the best means of pacify ing Italy, and of consolidating in a durable manner the political situation of that peninsula. Quite recently the wish for a reform of the fede ral constitution has been anew manifested. Prussia will always consider herself as the natural repre sentative of the tendencies which have for object to restore and unite the national forces, and to pro mote efficaciously, by really practical measures, the general interests of Germany. My government is guided by the desire to see the action of the Germanic Diet in its relations with the constitutions of the different states to the nar rowest limits consistent with appropriate interven tion. In consequence, it has regarded as its duty, in the constitutional question of Electoral Hesse, which has been for years before the Federal Diet, to indicate in conformity with that principle, the return of the constitution of 1831, with, however, the removal from that constitution of the enact ments contrary to the federal laws which it con tains. In concert with my German Confederates, I am making incessant efforts to obtain a constitution in harmony with existing treaties, and with the recog nised rights of those countries, for the German ter ritories placed under the Danish sceptre. My efforts in the Germanic Diet shall likewise tend to cause to be regulated in a satisfactory manner the tran sitory situation which must necessarily exist until a definitive arrangement can be come to. The events of last year could not occur without troubling commercial relations. My government, has, however, endeavoured to repair as much as possible the consequences which were produced. Public works have been continued almost without exception, and the construction of railways confided to private enterprise, has been preserved as far as possible foam interruption. Commerce and manu factures are now beginning to recover from the serious consequences of that perturbation. The mission which leaves for Eastern Asia, and which is destined to establish regular relations with the countries in that part of the world recently par tially opened to commerce, will contribute, I hope, to give new activity to our manufactures and navi gation. This mission is accompanied by a squadron of our navy. This Davy will receive a notable in crease in consequence of the extraordinary credits which you have voted for the purpose. An additional convention to the treaty of com merce and navigation of the 22d June, 1845, with Sardinia was concluded on the 23th October last. This convention will be submitted to your consti tutional approbation. In spite of the unfavourable influence of the war like events of last year, we may regard with satis faction the financial situation of the country. We way expect with confidence that the budget of last year will be balanced by means of the ordinary revenues and without having recourse to extra ordinary resources. The Goverment has besides, for the present year, established the preliminary budget of expenses and receipts in such a manner as, IN hilst satisfying the wants of the public ser vices, may enable us to continue the commenced, and provide for new and urgent wants. We have been able to realise without difficulty the loan which you voted for military purposes, and which was left to public subscription. The satisfactory result of that vast operation proves alike the patriotism of the people and the confi dence placed in our finances. An account will shortly be given to you of the employment of the credits voted. A notable portion of them is still in the coffers of the Government. A bill on the employment of these funds shall be presented to you, and provisionally a sum of 12,000,000 thalers has been paid into the Treasury. The general interests of the state require more than ever prompt solution of the question of the land tax. The bills which were not passed in the last session will be again submitted to your deli-. beration. It is to be expected that the Government will be able to submit to you a bill relative to the organisa tion of the various circles of the country. My Government has taken into serious considera tion the situation of the municipal organisation of towns and villages, the state of the administration of the rural police, and the deve:opment, promised by the legislature of 1853, of the organisation of districts and provinces. The investigation of these subjects has been carried as far as the agitations of last year permitted. A bill relative to the execution of Art. 69 of the constitution concerning the circumscription of elec toral districts for the Chamber of Deputies, which will be presented to you, is destined to remove numerous objections. The bill on marciage will be submitted to you anew. I strongly desire that at last you may succeed in realising the important and urgent reform for which it provides. Other measures which will be presented to you are destined to supply wants which have long prevailed in dif ferent parts of the My incessant solicitude is devoted to the moral interests of the nation. The Government will care fully endeavour, as heretofore, to increase public instruction, and to complete within the measures of the resources of which it disposes the scientific esta blishments in the universities. By the side of the gymnases, the manufacturing schools have obtained the position which is due to them by the new regu lations, which assure to them a scientific character, and make them of practical utility. As regards elementary instruction, tile salaries of schoohnas ters have been again increased. Preparations are besides being made for the creation of new training schools, in order to supply the want of good school masters, which is still felt. Gentlemen, a question of high importance re quires all the solicitude of my government and all your solicitude also. When, last year, I found myself obliged to order the calling out of our mili tary force, the soldiers zealously responded to the appeal by ranging themselves under the national flag. lam proud to pay the tribute of my grati tude to this patriotism, which has never been wanting. Nevertheless, our military organisation requires a reform—not one, however, rendered necessary by the absence of devotedness or of bra very. The organisation of the army was proceeded to in the midst of circumstances of the gravest kind. Being in proportion to the population and the financial resources of the epoch. the organisa tion was afterwards preserved, in conjunction with the remembrance of its glorious successes. But the experience of the last few years, during which the armed force of the nation has been several times called out, has proved the existence more and more evident of inconveniences of various kinds, but all serious. To remove those inconveniences is my duty and my right, and I request your constitu tional cooperation in the adoption of measures calculated to increase our defensive forces in a pro portion which shall correspond to the augmenta tion of the population, without encroaching on the interests of manufactures and agriculture. For this purpose a bill on the universal obliga tion of military service will be presented to you ; and it will be accompanied by financial propose• tions. It is not our intention to break off with the inheritance of a great epoch. The Prussian army will be in future, as now, the Prussian people in ' arms. What has to be done is to animate with a new force, by regenerating forms, and in the limits fixed by the financial resources of the country, the military organisation which the past bequeathed us. I Invite your impartial examination of, and your consent to, this bill, which has been drawn up after a profound examination, l and which affects both the civil and military interests of Pru s sia . This approbation will be in the eyes of all a proof of the confidence which the country places in me and in my loyal intentions. Gentlemen, never have the representatives of the country had to appreciate a measure of greater im portance for the defence, the grandeur, and the destinies of the country against the vicissitudes of THE ARMY. The following order relative to an increased supply of ammunition has been issued to all mili tary storekeepers, by order of the Secretary of State for War : " The Secretary of State for War having been requested by the General Commanding in Chief to establish at the military store stations where mili tary practice is carried on a sufficient supply of ammunition and other stores to meet the annual demand for practice and exercise, in order to pre vent the delay which often occurs from their hav ing been supplied from Woolwich, you are in formed that the commanding officer has been in structed to furnish you annually with a probable estimate of such stores as you may require during this' year. You will, therefore, previously to the preparation of Irmr annual aqmand, apply to th. officer commanding the Royal Artillery for this es timate, in order that ample provision may be made for the service. You will act rightly in keeping up a proportion of these stores, equal to a year and a half or two years' expenditure, according to the distance of your station from the sources of supply. As a general rule you will consider yourself re sponsible for the completion of all demands upon your depot, and for any delay arising from defi ciencies which should have been foreseen and pre vented by means of your annual demand. Your attention is also directed to the inconvenience that too often occurs from the defective manner in which stores aro described, a common name being used without specifying the particular variety required, as to kind, size, weight, &c. The Secretary of State for War desires that the fullest information may in all cases be given, in order to prevent unnecessary correspondence and delay. " B. HAWES." The following order has also been issued by the Secretary of State for War : " Mr. Secretary Herbert desires that in future the following classification of gunpowder in all magazines shall be observed : " Class 1. New powder. " Class 2. Powder which has been returned from the navy, and, having been kept perfectly dry, has been found, after proof, to be equal to the required standard. "Class 3. Returned powder considered fit for filling " Class 4. Returned powder fit for filling shell after being restored. " Class 5. Condemned powder, only fit for ix traction. " Samples of any powder which may be damaged, or much caked, are to be forwarded from home stations to the Superintendent, Royal Gunpowder Factory, for his decision as to the best course to be adopted. "At foreign stations the recommendations for the disposal of such condemned powder are to be made by the fire-master at the station, subject to the approval of the general or other officer com manding, who will forward the same for the deci sion of the Secretary of Stat• for War.

Under the Royal finance regulations of the Ist of November, 1850, the wives and children belonging to the married men were all cared for by the authorities, having been furnished with ample means of returning to their respective homes, by rail or steamvessel as may be least ex pensive, and were also provided with the necessary certificates which will entitle each woman to re ceive 6d. a-day allowed by the Indian Fund, and 2d. for each child, independently of the arrange ments entered into for the receipt of a liberal por tion of their husbands' pay. 100 gunners belong ing to the Depot Brigade of Royal Artillery also left head-quarters, Woolwich, on Saturday, to re inforce the 2d Brigade of Garrison Artillery at Dover.

The captain' , am s brother armed""him*erlf also, and half a dozen shots put them to the rout —not before one of the crew was hacked to pieces and killed, and others wounded. The Coolies were armed with the cook's axes, the chain hooks, iron bclaying-pins, handspikes, i,nd every weapon they could lay their hands upon, and but for the ruliCen panic which the urP-xpccted shots from the ievolN ere produced, it, was impossi ble to say what would have saved the crew. On inquiry it turned out that a deep-laid scheme had been planned for killing them all and taking pos session of the ship, and it was this design, and t he crew being constantly on their guard, that produced such apprehension and terror among them when the ship struck. It is reported that the boats were ro more than sufficient to save the crew, 40 in n umber. 'rice ship was 300 miles front land, and it is stated that it was impossible to raft 850 men E 0 great a dis tance, much less feed them, even had the crew been justified or encouraged in trusting their lives to the Coolies' forbearance. It was felt that the only chance of saving even one of the unfortunate Coolies was their falling in with a ship which might perhaps be induced to go to their assistance. Although the long boat crossed the most frequentcd part of the China Sea, not a sail of any kind was Amen. It is thought that in all probability the ship went to pieces on the night of Saturday, when the gale commenced. ADOPTION OF 771 E Fel (JTOj 1' ACT IN TILE LACE FACTORIES. An important public meeting of the master and operative lacemakers was held on Saturday evening, the 14th inst., in the Assembly-rooms, Nottingham. Mr. T. B. Charlton (county magistrate) occupied the chair, and en the platform were the Rev. J. M. Valpy, incumbent of St. John Baptist, Nottingham; MessrJ. Councillor Cox, Mallett, 8:c. The CHAIRMAN, after a few prefatory remarks, asked who was there who would fail to sympathise with the men who were robbed of their domestic comforts by the employment of their wives and chil dren in lace factories, and who couid depict their feelings when were seen the emaciated faces of those who were looked upon to carry down the names of their parents and exercise: their duties in this busy life. He grieved to say that there was an amount of privation and suffering among that .portion of the population of this neighbourhood connected with the lace trade which was utterly unknown in other towns of this kingdom, or indeed in the civilised world. That suffering had been caused by various circumstances, probably of slow growth—circum stances that arose from that when the trade was in a very different condition it was in at the present time. At this period the importance of the lace trade was greatly appreciated by the nation at large; but it would be wicked and monstrous to shut our eyes to the great evils which now existed in the trade. The chairman then read a number of extracts from a blue book, showing that many children, 9 or 10 years old, were engaged from perhaps 2,3, or 4 o'clock in the morning until 10,11, or 12 o'clock at night, and, indeed, sometimes later. Mr. MALLBTT (a manufacturer) said that these extracts applied to the lace trade 20 years ago ; but manufacturers were not in the habit of ill-using the boys as had been represented in that book. An OPERAnvE.---Things are worse now. . The CHAIRMAN said he must beg to correct Mr. Mallett a% he (the chairman) was only reading sta tistical facts. The Rev. J. M. VALPY suggested that if Mr. Mallett had any remarks to make he should do so when the chr.irmau had concluded. The CHAIRMAN then read a number of other extracts, and concluded by advising the working men never to cease agitating until they had obtained the act, and then they would be in possession of the same privileges as were enjoyed by the large towns in Yorkshire and Lancashire. If the present state of things were allowed to continue it would be a stigma upon the country, and would have a very injurious effect upon women and children, and would materially deteriorate the health of the working classes, who were the bone and sinews of the country. Mr. Coins. ATKIN (master lacemaker) proposed the first resolution :—" That this meeting sees with regret the great moral evils arising from women and children working untimely hours in lace fac tories, and pledges itself if possible to put them under the Factory Act." The Rev. 3.IIIoNTAGU VALPY seconded the reso lution, and said that it caused him deen i concern to . witness th , s ------' • - ana calla worked in the lace trade. Ile had been resident in Nottingham about six years, and the greatest thing that had been impressed upon his mind during that period was the English slavery he had witnessed. He was persuaded that, both physically, socially, morally, and spiritually, the system that was em ployed by some of the manufacturers at the present time was most degrading, and unworthy of our coun try. (Loud cheers.) Although many of the manu facturers saw the bad effects of the system,and had been unable to reduce these sad trials among their workpeople, many others were unwilling to make any effort whatever to ameliorate the condition of those in their employ. Many manufacturers ad mitted that the interests of the trade would not be materially injured were the hours of labour cur tailed. Let them try with a strong arm to put down this bad system, and he believed that with their united exertions and the blessing of God their object would be obtained. Mr. Councillor Cox supported the resolution, stating that the Nottingham trade had for some time past been suffering from the effects of the pre vailing fashions, comparatively little lace being now worn. He thought that if this fact were made known to her Majesty she would (as in the case of Coventry, when the tiband trade was so depressed, and other places) bring lace again into fashion. The resolution was then carried, _ _ Mr. Snursos (master lacemaker) proposed the next resolution :—" That a petition be presented to both Houses of Parliament, praying them to take into consideration the shortening th© hours of labour of women and children who are engaged in the making or manufacture of lace ; and. that the Earl of Shaftesbury be requested to present it in the House of Lords, and Mr. Mellor (the borough mem ber) in the House of Commons ; and that Mr. Paget be requested to support it. Mr. JAMS (operative) seconded the resolution, which was also unanimously carried. Mr. COULT (operative) proposed the next resolu .... tion :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that an agreement should be come to among the em ployers and employed, to diminish the hours of labour of men to 18 hours per diem (these hours being divided by two ban ?s) believing that it would be beneficial to both employer and employed." Mr. LONGMIRE (operative) seconded the motion, which was carried, and the meeting separated after a vote of thanks to the chairman. The Era observes of the dramatic performance at Windsor Castle on Wednesday :—" It was the first appear ance of Miss Amy Sedgwick at the court representations, and we arc informed that she acquitted herself with great credit to her own powers and the legitimste company of performers with whom she is connected. Miss Reynolds was to have played the character of Helen, but not having recovered from her long and serious illness, was unable to appear. In this emergency Mr. Buckstone suggested Miss Swanborough, who, when a member of the Haymarket Theatre, had frequently sustained the character, and which she did on this occasion with great success ; indeed, it has been stated that the performance of this evening was one of the most, if net the most satisfactory ever given under the royal roof. After the supper that is always provided for the performers at the conclusion of their duties, Mr. Donne, the 'Examiner of Plays, who is entrusted with the direction of the royal dramatic representationis, conveyed to the com pany a most gracious message that ho had received from Sir Charles Phipps." THE KING OF DENMARK g il it: l- It B ion W a r g lF ai E n's — tt a A he letter from Copenhagen says :—" TheA Countess Danner, the morganatic wife of the King, is gain ing ground at Copenhagen. Everywhere, even close up to the gates of the Cbristianburg, songs of a scandalous and impudent description against the Countess are sung without the least ceremony, or even opp os iti on. The old air called the Rasroussine,' has been applied to new words, snatches of which are given by the boys in the s t ree ts, and as the King drove out lately with the - Countess the mob took care to let those august personages know know its disp l eas ure by hissing and howling, took place. coming the lady in for very the largest t ceremonyshare ol the of hooting. OnN evc Some 7eanr ; s 270 0 a persons,aem bled of whom belonged to the better classes, ass embled about midnight on the Castle-square, shouting many of out for the King and the Countess to show themselves, and crying with clamorous throats, Ned med Grevinden I Ned the printer') med Trykker en l3 ' eil(I)()•wn with the Countess I Down with Ding andthe Countess' ,gis did printer meant. l Of . course th© not appear,. lout the military were called out, and the , mob ejected from the square by the police." Another let ter says:—"The I - irng has appointed a committee for exciting the sympathy of the nation, and col lecting contributions from the charitable towards the re building of his palace." [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Paral3 sis, Stiff Joints, Neuralgia.—For all affections afflict ing nerves or muscles, so constantly recurring during win ter, no remedy can bear comparison with Ii olloway's medi cs-amts.:The ointment sh nld be r übbt d on th ) parts affected, after they have been well fomented with warns water and dried. This friction should be steadily repeated two or three times a day, so as to ensure the, constant pas sage of the ointment to the diseased joint, debilated musc l e s, orirritated nerves lying beneath. It relieves pain , restores motion, and confers strength. The pills are an a dmirable auxiliary to the ointment; they improve and invi; orate the whole system by purifying the blood, acrd remo sing acrid matter from all parts of the body. - ND
