FROM CORRESPONDENT OF THE AIORNING POST. TORONTO, JULY 19. THE FRASER RIVER GOLD-DIGGINGS. Since my last letter the proceedings in Parliament have been of unusual interest. The fate of the " want of confidence" motion was not doubtful ; the Government did not even condescend to answer the speeches of the Opposition on this matter ; but, after some three or four of the latter had delivered their sentiments, loudly protesting against the pre sent condition of things, and especially against French domination, and complaining that, in conse quence of the Ministry having a minority of votes in Upper Canada, a number of useful measures which the Western section of the province stood in need of could not be passed. A vote was taken in a very full house, and the numbers steed thus : for the motion, 37. against 47, giving the Government a majority of 10 of the whole, but leaving them in a minority of 9 as regards Upper Canada. This result was anticipated, and therefore very lit►tle interest was felt in the matter ; there was but a meagre attendance of mem bers or spectators, and some of the chiefs of either party were absent. had there been a full house it is probable the Government would have been sus tained by a larger vote, but the Opposition papers assert that the difference would not have been great. Neither party seem to think they have gained any thing by the Tote. A much more important matter was decided on the following day, when the member for Montreal, Mr. Dorion, the clever leader of the Rouge party, brought up the seat of Government question, mov ing, in amendment to the motion of the Finance Minister that the house go into committee of sup ply, " That an humble address be presented to her Gracious Majesty the Queen, to represent, that this house is duly grateful to her Majesty for complying with the address of her Canadian Parliament, pray ing her Majesty to selott a permauent seat of Go- vernment ; but, that this house deeply regrets that the city which her Majesty has been advised to select is not acceptable to a large majority of the Canadian people." The mover of the above had two objects in view in the first place, if possible to defeat the Govern ment ; and in the next, to get a vote in favour of Montreal. In neither of these objects was th*bon. gentleman successful, and, after a sharp and interest a large and important city will sprit up at some point on Paget's Sound. The quesl ion is asked, " Where is the new city to be ? The restrictive policy of the Hudson's Bay Company will prevent any large city springing up on the United States territory ; but the Herald does not believe the company will be sustained in their exclusive policy by the Government of Britain. At present the indications point to E-quimaux Bay, three miles from Victoria:on Vancouver's Island. At that point it is said there is sufficient depth of water for ships of the largest class, and for the accommodation of an extensive commerce. The Hudson's Bay Company favour the above locality. The Herald, however, points out the difference between the company's tenure of Vancouver's Island and that of the main land, and sees no reason to doubt their ability to convey a perfect title until the expiration of their lease. The discovery of gold fields will destroy all chance the company might have had of ob taining a renewal of their lease of the island. The progress which Russia is making in the North Pacific, by the annexation of the Amoor River country, will suggest to the British Govern ment the necessity of establishing a colony on this coast, to preserve the Galluce not be done while the company hold the whole country under an exclusive charter. " The Cana dians, too, are clamorous for the opening of the whole of the British possessiobs on the Pacific for settle ment and immigration, and it is not likely that the British Government will refuse them anything they may now ask." All the Californian papers tell the same tale, and do not deny that the gold fever is raging in every part of the State. All the lines of travel are crowded by adventurous gold seekers, and accommodation cannot be found for the half of those who are hur rying to the sea-board from the interior, burning with the desire to get early to the new diggings. " Hostile Indians, a barren and forbidding region, an inhospitable climate, and a dangerous river route have no terrors for them ; they will brave all to satisfy themselves." It is of course the interest of the Californian papers to decry British Oregon, its climate, and call it—as the Hudson's Bay Company have so often done—a barren, forbidding region ; but the world is wiser to-day on these subjects than it was a few years back ; and if it were not, what care the gold-seekers for sufferings from want of food ing debate, the decision of the Quccn was maintained by a majority of 18. The principal Opposition paper in this city thus comments on the vote on the seat of Government ques tion :—" The Government admitted by their silence, and others stated the fact broadly, that if Mr.Dorion's motion was lost, it was equivalent to saying that the decision should be final." With reference to this question, which was of such a nature that we could not settle it ourselves, it should be stated that the general impression now is that no removal will take place from this city to Quebec at the expiration of the four years (in October, 1859), the period fixed for the alternating system of Government; but that the Government will remain at its present location until the proper accommodations for its reception shall have been provided on the banks of the Ottawa. In the meanwhile the state of the provin cial finances will hardly admit of any expenditure being made for the purpose of providing suitable buildings for the Government at the new capital; and besides, many people fully entertain the belief that the Ottawa people will yet be disappointed, and that a acleral Union of the British North American Provinces will step in to rob them of their much-coveted prize. • Another matter of great interest on your side of the ocean has been decided in the provincial Parliament. The bill to amend the acts relating to the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada has been passed through committee, and on a division, is to be read a third and shelter, and for dangers of which they at pre sent know nothing, incited and fed as their minds are by dreams of gold—of bright auriferous metal ? time this day. A number of amendments were voted down by considerable majorities, chiefly restricting the borrowing powers proposed to be granted to the Company, and no one doubts the final passage of a measure, the object of is to afford relief to the greatest of our national enterprises, whose prosperity and success must at all times reflect the prosperity and successful development of the province. The Grand Trunk Railway deserves, and must have, the fullest measure of support the country can give to it, and mine but croakers are so short-sighted as not to perceive the fact that but for the Grand Trunk Railway the progress of Canada during the few past years would have been comparatively slow, while the important benefits destined by its agency to be conferred on the province are incalculable. The millions we may guarantee or spend to-day will be returned tenfold ere many years, and all British North America will yet be obliged to confess its obligations to all parties by whose exertions the stupendous enterprise has been thus far carried towards its successful comple tion. The effects of the new gold fever are proving dis astrous enough in California. The price of labour has already been seriously affected, and a number of quartz mills have been compelled to cease operations from a scarcity:of hands. Labour of all kinds has been run up, and in many places strikes have oc curred and resulted in an advanced rate of wages being granted. San Francisco is said to present a singular series ofscenes, from the effects of the Fraser River fever, the city being the natural outlet for all persons bound thither, whether from the mines or from the interior towns of the country. All classes are seized with the mania ; even newspaper men have been bitten, and have gone off with tyFes and presses to the new gold region. For the present the shop keepers of San Francisco would appear to be doing a good business in all those articles required for the use of the diggers, and it is supposed that a million of dollars will have been added to the daily circula tion within a week. A rumour had been in circulation at San Fran cisco, but was not generally credited, that the charter of the Hudson's Bay Company had been renewed by the British Government for a further term of 21 years. After giving its readers a tolerably accurate sketch of the condition of the controversy down to nearly the present time, the San Francisco paper ex presses the hope " that the people of Canada will not recede from their original position, viz., no renewal of the charter. `,,lf they remain firm, the lludson's Bay Company's rule over the whole of the north western territories of Great Britain will be termi nated in May, 1859, and free trade and; liberality will take the place-of monopoly and intolerance." To renew the charter of the company, even on the conditions proposed by Mr. Labouchere, would, under present circumstances, be to create a mono poly in comparison with which the East India Com pany would be insignificant. Governor Douglas has already prohibited vessels from navigating Fraser's River, and claims as a right belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company the whole of the new trade which is fast springing up as the adventurers continue to press forward to the diggings. "It is just the same," says the paper before quoted, " as if one single commercial house in San Francisco should have the monopoly of furnishing the whole population of California with whatever they may require in the shape of necessaries or luxuries, and at whatever prices they might determine, ignoring altogether the law of demand and supply, together with the right to impose licenses for the privileges of mining, and also for navigation. Such is the character of the monopoly enjoyed by the Hudson's Bay Company, and which, if the charter be re newed, they will enjoy for 21 years more." The bare contemplation of its magnitude is almost sufficient to take the breath out of a man. What ever course events may take, we think that there is now sufficient grounds for the interposition of our Government. "It is neither fair nor just that Eng land should be allowed to erect a monopoly of that kind at our very doors, under the pretence of renew ing the charter of an existing commercial company, and to sanction a policy more exclusive and more outrageous in every respect than has ever been pur sued by the Chinese or Japanese." In another article the same paper calls on the Governor of the State . to communicate to the Cabinet at Washington the important events transpiring be tween the citizens of California and the Hudson's Bay Company, and to issue a proclamation to that effect ; also to define the rights and privileges to which they may be entitled under existing treaties between Great Britain and the United States. The recent Reci procity Treaty is quoted as confirmation of the view that perfect equality should exist between the two nations, the treaty stipulating " that the same tonnage duties are payable upon ships or boats im porting goods into Upper or Lower Canada as are or may be payable at the same time in the United States on British craft entering the harbours of the State from which such goods have been imported." There can be no question that Governor Douglas 11,:s stretched his authority not a little in condemn ing j vessels to the pains of seizure for infraction of the conditions set forth in his late proclamation. The United States government have Another most important motion has been made by the Finance Minister, relative to a more advan tageous provision for the redemption of provincial debentures by the creation of a provincial stock. Mr. Cayley proposes to create a consolidated fund, bearing interest at 41 per cent.—which is thought a fair equivalent for the present value of the Provin cial Debentures. It is, of course, expected that when unds rule high the Canadian stock will go up also. It needs very little argument to show the great ad vantage of the proposed conversion of the public debt ; all parties interested will be benefited by the change, the present debenture system being so in convenient, complex, and burthensome ; and it may safely be anticipated that capitalists at home will be more ready to make investments in Canadian Stock, which will always be easily convertible, than in municipal, Government, and various other deben tures. In addition to these advantages, the change in the management of the public debt will lessen its amount, while it would tend to increase the value of the present debentures in the English market. The scheme finds favour on all sides of the house, and no doubt, after due consideration, the resolu tions embodying the proposed change will be adopted. The tariff has safely passed the ordeal of commit tee, and a bill founded upon the resolutions will passed through Parliament, an d th en we expect a speedy termi na ti on o f th e l onges t ses ssiyn be ses sion I remember in Canada. The tariff is intended to afford a large measure of protection to our manu factures; but Mr. Cayley repudiates the idea of its being a protection tariff—he says it is a tariff for revenue purposes, such as is demanded by the pecu liar circumstances of the province. Some cf the items upon which high duties are placed—such as upon paper—do not meet with favour, and probably the inspector-general may in the article named modify his tariff ; but a revenue must be obtained, and as newspapers are free of postage, or nearly so, in Canada, the provincial press ought to be satisfied. The other subject which now cngagcs pubic a!- trution in Canada is the Fraser River gold discovery and at the present time the excitement is growing throughout the province. Some of our papers at tempt to dissuade people from leaving for the dig gings, at least not until further and more re li a bl e information on the subject shall be furnished ; but it is no easy matter to cure the feVer when it once appears; and when it gains a hold upon the mind, all prudent considerations are scattered to the winds. No doubt there will soon be a large immigration to the new gold fields from England : if not, the Ame ricans now flocking thither will do as they like, and cause disturbances in British Oregon. liberally allowed to the Hudson's Bay Company, and all British subjects trading with the same, the privilege of navigation of the Columbia. " From the point at which the 49th parallel of north lati tude shall be found to intersect the great northern Lnuch of the .said river, to tl-c riot wlrre rait! branch meets the main stream, and from there down to the ocean, with free access into and through said river or rivers, it being understood that all the different portages along the line thus described shall in like manner be free and open. In navigating the said river or rivers, British subjects, with their goods and produce, shall be treated on the same footing with citizens of the United States." The above it is contended might well serve as a basis for the United States to require a similar mark of liberality f rom the Hudson's Bay Company as that conceded by them to the Company. It is very clear that in placing restrictions en the operations of the Californian and United States traders, the Hudson's Bay Governor has, at the least, acted without due discretion, and there is good rea son to fear that the consequences may be disastrous, and tend, to involve the United States and Great Britain in fresh quarrels, which, coming so soon after the settlement of the right of search question, are not likely to be easily or ami ca bly arrange d. But it would seem quite impossible for the Company to show the least act of liberality; even while on t rial, and about to undergo - the fatal stroke of the The San Francisco Herald of the 21st June, a copy of which has just reached me, is literally filled with articles on the subject of the Fraser River gold discoveries, and while attempting to check the exodus which was going on, and threatened to de populate the elder diggings, does not succeed in blinding the eyes of the Californians to the fact that the richness of the new El DirEdo had not been exaggerated, and that tl e probability was that a large population would be: )re many months could elapse be found in British Oregon. It supposes that executioner, the same grasping, avaricious con duct is exhiblited, and not a single trait of generous keling breaks forth to enlist sym pathy foe the well-merited fate which is about to overtake the monopolists. Our provin cial Government, as well as that of the United States, will be obliged to represent to the Home Government the conduct of the Hudson's Day Com pany, and the danger that threatens to produce an angry feeling, and perhaps a cgllision, between the Company and the Californian and Canadian adven turers. The fever is not confined to the Pacific side of the Continent ; it is now raging to some extent throughout Canada, and as fresh information is cir culated, additional parties are smitten with the disease, and will not be deterred by any considera tions from pullirg up stakes and starting for the golden regions. Several meetings have been held in this city on the subject, a n d parties have been organised for the purpose of going overland to Vancouver's Island and and Fraser's River, and no doubt the province will contribute a large quota of adventurers to the new colony, which must be now rapidly springing into existence in the region at present lorded over by L'e 1 but w Lose sway cannot be of long duration, for it is quite certain that the sort of men who are fast settling on Fraser's River, Vancouver's Island, and other localities will not be so submissive to the Company's rule as the poor, isolated, unpro tected people of Red River have for so long a period perforce been. Circumstances are certainly adverse in all directions to the Company ; in Canada we have unanimity of feeeling against the monopolists ; in England the most powerful class of all, the grer 4 t mercantile body of the empire, are actively engag-ed in putting an end to their pretensions; while both at home and in this province the force of legislation is about to be put forth to terminate the existence of a selfish monopoly in a legal manner. The weather is magnificent, the hay crop is now being fast got in, and the grain harvest ', las corn _ menced in some localities. I am sorry t o say the news from the West is not good with "regard to the wheat ; that destructive insect the weevil is busy at work, and in some places the wheat crop will prove a total failure. LITERATURE. The Edinburgh Review. - So. 219. Longman and r e 'a. There is an unusual ',lumber of interesting sub jects in the table of Contents of the Edinburgh-- History, Biography, Criticism, Politics, Science, are pleasantly minglesl, and the result is a very attractive number. The life and genius of Hugh Miller well deserves a prominent notice in a Scottish periodical. The early difficulties of the student, the wonderful advance of the " journeyman mason" to the first rank among the scientific men of his day, the tragic close or so eminent a career, all combine to invest his delightful and valuable writings with an additional power of af:craction. The private history of the geologist is but briefly touched upon, his early toils be;, ng the only part alluded to, the character and scier!,,ific value of his works, and progress of his krsowledge, being the prevailing topics. The second r part of a lengthened criticism on "M. Thiers' His tory of the Consulate and the Empire " will attract the political and historical reader. It treats, with deserving consideration, a work of undoubted histo rical importance and unquestionable ability, what ever the opinions it promulgates, or the principles it upholds. An article on ." Canning's Literary Remains" is full of interest, and gives nume rous extracts from his contributions to the poetry of the Anti-Jacobin. The writer opens his essay by remarking that Canning has never been fairly appreciated by his countrymen. The warm eulogium of his abilities as a statesman passel by the Edinburgh Reviewer of the present day is in strik ing contrast to the attacks of "Peter Plymley." The wit and satire of these famous verses have furnished sarcasms for many succeeding politicians. The brilliancy of his wit and humour have induced many to consider these his chief gifts, and this impression the writer of the article before us strives to remove, and while ren dering full importance to his capacities for gue rilla warfare, to show he was as fitted t command regular pitched battles, or to sustain unshaken the as saults of his opponent. " The Health of the Army" is the title of a paper on Medical Sanitary Reform. It is observed that " the lamentably objective regu lations of the British Army in regard to the preser vation of health, under which all the mischiefs ex posed in the Commissioners' report have" grown up, are attributable in a great degree to the fact that they were made at a time when sanitary ser vice was well understood. Surely one of the first results of an advancement in scientific knowledge should be the application of its improved principles to places immediately under control and discipline." Those who are interested in the condition of the soldier will find this paper re pay perusal. " The Posthumous Memoirs and Songs of Deranger" form the subject of an article which presents us with nothing very new or striking. A criticism on Mr. Froude's recent volumes, while rendering full justice to his ability and the grace of his style, very justly attacks his portraiture of " Bluff King Hal." The extravagance of Mr. Froude's defence defeat s hi s ingenuity. Not content with softening down the harsh lines, and putting the most favourable construction on his acts, he reverses the decisions of posterity, and honours the condemned prisoner with not only a full acquittal, but high eulogiums of his moral and social character. The critic, alternately employing reason and irony, shows the injustice of Mr. Froude's arguments, and while making allowance for the age and the circumstances, cannot accept as a hero the murderer of Sir Thomas More and Anne Boleyn. Mr. Fronde says that "it would have been well for Henry VIII., if he had lived in a world in which women could have been dispensed with, so ill in,all his relations with them he succeeded. With men he could speak the right word—he could do the right thing ; with women he seemed under the fatal necessity of mistake." "It would have been well," replies the critic, "for Sir John Paul, and his partners, if they could have lived in a world where trust securities could have been dispensed with, so ill in all their relations with that description of pro perty did they succeed. It would have been well for the late Mr. Palmer if' he could have lived in a world without a Mr. Cooke, so unsuccessful was he in all his relations with that unfortunate gentleman. It would be well for pickpockets if they lived in a world where there were no pockets to pick. It would be well for us all if we lived where the mis takes to which we happen to be peculiarly liable could not possibly be committed." The Indian drama of " Sacontala," which attracted to much at tention at its first appearance in this country, has of late years received a careful tr inslation, which is discussed in an interesting paper. The wild and characteristic nature of the• singular old legend, the beauty of the images and the dark, mys terious 'Endo° superstitions peeping through it, combine to render it a curious study for the poet and psychologist. In speaking of the "Undo° di ama the writer observes, " The great masters of: humannan thought and language have to the Indian mind lived in vain ; it has run through its solitary cycle, and worked out its own weary problem alone ; yet India has a literature of poetry and philosophy which reaches back to the earliest times, older than Troy and the Iliad, perhaps as old as the Pentateuch itself. There were Indian poets before Homer had harped his first song; there were Indian thinkers and philo sophers before Thales called water the 'apxil of all things ; and though this succession of writers has now dwindled down to idle poetasters and pedantic grammarians, it has never ceased from those earliest ages down even to the present day." The number contains several other articles, and concludes with a paper entitled "Earl Grey on Parliamentary Government," which, in the paws of the old Whig Quarterly, requires no comment or description. The Quarterly Review. N o . 207 . J o h n Murray. Tip- ar - el that arrc:::ts attcLtiuu tu the present number of the Quarterly is founded on Mr. Hepworth Dixon's Life of Admiral Blake. It gives a succinct and interesting summary of the career of the great seaman, of whom it is justly said that be must have possesied a special genius for the sea. The unusual age at which he commenced his nautical career, and his previous habits as a military man, would scarcely have led his contemporaries to anticipate for him a series of brilliant achievements, which should rank him high among the naval heroes of his country. " A man of this stamp had the kind of disposition which then, as ever, resembled the true nautical English charac ter. So that when he at fifty years of age, went afloat for the first. time, at a period when Cromwell and the Parlia mentary chiefs sent 'generals' on board the fleet over the seamen's heads, and after a revolt of part of that fleet to the side of the Plince of Wales, he seems to have become do mesticated immediately. He took to the water as if there wale something in his breed !hat fitted him for it. He con quered in actions against the areatest seamen of the day; acd, in eight short years (1649-1637), he so completely esta blished his naval renown, that he superseded the reputation which had first raised him, the honour derived from Bristol, Lyme, Taunton, and a dozen fields of battle, and sunk his title of General, in that of Admiral, for all pos terity. England, which has forgotten that Bacon waa a aiscount, has forgotten that Blake was a general. As it merged Bacon's po!itical in his philosophical fame, so it merged Blake's military in his naval fame. There is no thing like it in our history. Here is a man, who is spoken of a; a seaman, in conjunction with Drake, and Nelson, and Collingwood, and w ho . on hi ; Meth bit th-dayeannot posseWy have keen able to put g sbip About, or to g ive the i o n r t d e e l r li s a while t o t u h s e whocrewkwere The eefinregsetbotpsEainlgs.i.ell tniasysyc=ely think of the roars of laughter p with which ' the wesquadron would hail the news that Sir Colin Campbell had been a pointed to th e R oyal Albert. To understand Blake's suc cess, we must at ribute to him not only an inike;re t • for the sea, but au essential a ffi nity with the n genius character of seamen, which caused his crew to recog nise ib spirit, and cordially exert their efforts to as s i st tzt!abTother task. For it is perfectly certain that, at first , him in his must b have been under great disadvantages. He must have pendent on captains, lieutenants., or masters for the een d ? ' wboia seamanship of the very ship in which he sailed. In no ordinary man would be considered likely to be nur f' dAYl Arst rate seaman who should enter the service as late as tw a and genius, like everything else, must submit t 'entyl 0 certain fundamental ' natural laws."

Mr. Buckle's "History ,of Civilisation" receives a severe analysis.

Speaking of the wonderful variety of use .a 1 purposes to which this metal is applied, the writ e r quotes the sayi ng o f Francis Horner after : in .petting a steel manufactory, that "Iron is not only '.he soul of every other manufacture, but the main spring of civilised society ;" and the still more em phatic assertion of John Locke, " that notwith standing man's advamement in knowledge, We should, were the use of iron lost among u s , be in a few ages reduced to the wants and ignorance of the ancient savage Americans, so that he who first made known the use of that contemptible mineral may be truly styled the father of arts and author of plenty." This somewhat startling asseve ration does not appear so extravagant when we take into consideration the multifarious purposes for which iron is indispensable. "The superiority of this metal over all others consists in the vast number of purposes to which it can be advantt:ge ously applied, and the various modifications of which it is susceptible in the process of manufacture. There is no other [metal whieh could be so worked up as to serve equally well for a needle and as shot for a ninety-eight-pounder gun ; as a surgeon's lancet and a five-ton Naystnyth - tilt hammer; as the spring of a watch the size of a shilling, and the hull of a Leviathan steamship; and which is alike indispensable in the construction of a pair of scissors and an electric tele graph, a steel pen and a railroad, a mariner's compass, and a tubular bridge. The iron machines of our manufacturers are driven by the iron steam-engines of Watt, and their products are distributed over iron railroads by the iron locomotives of Stephenson. Intelligence is telegraphed to and from the ends of the earth by means of the iron wire. Our Crystal Palac:s are built of glass framed in iron. We have iron roofs, iron houses, iron churches, iron bedsteads, iron light houses, iron ships, iron palaces, and iron bridges. In short, we now seem to be in the very midst of M. Worsaae's ' Iron Age.'" The life of Wycliffe is one little known, and scarcely likely to be more so. It is remarked, in the inte resting article on this subject, that many who have exercised the largest influence on the minds of their fellows have left little behind them but a name. The very personality of Homer is disputed. In modern days, how meagre is the biography of Shakespeare ! " Wycliffe, the patriarch of the Reformation, has been compared to the voice of one crying in :the wilderness' a voice, and nothing more—a mighty agency which is known only in its effects." The brief memoir of his career, and the extracts given from his writings, will attract many who have never met with any details of the life and labours of this herald of the Reforma tion. " A paper on Shipwrecks" gives some curious and instructive details of the losses at sea, and on the coast, the supposed causes, and the avoidable dangers. "An Essay on the British Museum" Ivill be attractive to the studious. An article on the absorbing topic of the day, "The Condition and Future of India," is written with ability and impar tiality. THE ARMY. The following gratifying circular was put in orders yes terday at Portsmouth garrison, and promulgated through out the district : " The Major-General has much pleasure in making known to the garrison that be has received the commands of her Majesty, through his Royal Highness the Com mander-in-Chief, to express to the officers and soldiers com posing it her approbation of the appearance and movements of their respective regiments this day, and also her satisfac tion at the arrangements which were made for her recep tion. The Major-General cannot conclude without return ing his thanks to Colonel Wright for his exertions in making the necessary arrangements." On Friday Lieutenant-General Lord Seaton, accempa- Died by his staff, inspected the sth Royal Irish Lancers and the other troops in the garrison at Newbridge, with whose fine appearance he was greatly. pleased. -The sth Lancers (new regiment) number 700 men, but as yet they are not mounted cr fully equipped. On Saturday orders were issued for volunteers for the Enniskillen Dragoons, who, preerratory to their departure for India, are to be augmented to 791 men of all ranks. The neeirtent the announcement was made by Colonel Sullivan 800 of the sth Lancers stepped out of the ranks and offered to volunteer. Fifty men only being required, this number was selected, and on the same evening they left, in charge of an officer of the sth Lancers, fir Brighton, to join the head-quarters of the Enniskill,ns. The entire battalion of the Royal Marines station, d at Woolwich was yesterday morning peracled in the barrack square, in command of Colonel Tatton Brown, the com mandant, with closed gates, to hear the promulgation of the sentence of a general court-martial, held on Monday, the 9.6 th ult., fur the trial of Patrick Swollen, a private of the 4th :company, Woolwich division, for acts of gross insubordination, and threatening to murder his command ing officer, Captain Kennedy. The evidence was gleaned i principally from the information of a Mr. Brown, a scrip ture reader, who happened to be at the prisoner's quarters about three weeks ago, when the prisoner entered in a very excited state, and drawing a bayonet which he had concealed about his person, said that he bad been loitering about for two hours in the Charlton-enad in the hopes of meeting his captain, and vowing that if he had fallen in with him he would have taken his life. Mr. Brown without delay pro ceeded to the Royal Marine Barracks and reported the facts to the adjutant on duty. The prisoner, whose character is noted as " bad," and who had on a former occasion while serving on board ship made use of a similar threat towards his cotnmanding officer, was accordingly arrested and con fined in one of the cells. The general court-martial, under the presidency of Lit u'enant-Colonel Congdoo, R.M., tak ing a lenient view of the ease, awarded the prisoner four years' penal servitude. It appears that the prisoner, who is a married man, had noutished a feeling of vengeance against his cap ain for some suppesed undue severity in de pt ivieg his wife of the coinpany's weekly washing, and had gone about with a deteimivation of putting his terrib'e threat in:o execution. Captain Kennedy returned to barracks by aeother route, and thus deprived the in tended murderer of his victim. Six companies of the Royal Antrim Rifles, in command of Colonel the Marquis of Donegal, occupying quarters in the west -sqvare of the Artillery Barracks, colivicb, yesterday spread canvas at the Green-bill encampment, near the Artillery schools. The removal of the troops is rendered necessary, now that the whole of the Royal Horse Artillery have lift the garrison, to enable the lincineer3 to commence the tong-pr..je tted arrangements for building an additional story to that range of the barrack, which is to take place without further delay.

Oily a li m ited supply of English wheat was on offer here to-day. The few new samples on show were taken at fully Monday's prices; but old parcels moved off slowly on former terms. We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat, and all kinds net a dull inquiry. In prices, however, no change t,ok place. Flostilig cargoes of grain suet a slow inquiry. Barley was fl!m, had quite •113 dear as on ISIOnlAY; b't malt commanded very little attention. c
