The port of Galway possesses unrivalled natural advan tages, as the western packet station for the rapid transmission of mails and passengers from Great Bidtain to. the United States and British North America, being 360 miles nearer to America, than Liverpool. It is accessible for ve:isels of the lamest class at all times of the tide. _ PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. All those times that he passed up and down it was good. The men -Went down the shaft with Davy lamps. They mostly go down in the dark. If they went down they went down with Davys. The lamps were lighted at the bottom of the shaft. He started the boys when he went down. Kellett came down the shaft at a quarter-past eight o'clock. He (wit ness) was in the " return" at the back of the furnace. Geo. Paddisonand Wm.Paddison were working be side him (witness). Kellett sent for him. He said he smelt burnt wood. Witness could not tell where the fire was until he got to bank. He got into a cage to be drawn up. Kellet got into the top of it, and the onsetter "rapped" them away. Witness when he got into the cage smelt fire. The water was run ning over the brattice as usual. They then drew away. When they had been drawn from 10 to 11 fathoms up the shaft something fell from above into the upper part of the shaft and knocked Kellett off the cage. Witness did not see anything. He did not see any flash of light. He saw no fire as he was drawn up the shaft. He got above the surface without any stoppage, when he was stop ped. Smoke was comine , up, and the smoke pre vented the breaksman seeing him. The witness was detailing the efforts made to extinguish the fire when our report left. Mr. N. Wood, the eminent engineer, had also arrived in the room. The in quiry is likely to be a lengthened one. Galway has direct railway andsteam communication with London, via Holyhead and - Dublin the passage of the Chan nel occupying only four hours. This Company has exclusive privileges for the conveyance of passengers and freight over the railway from Dublin to. Galway, at exceptionally low rates, for a long period ; and the Government have remitted all harbour dues and charges for the port of Galway uponves sels owned by:this Company. Galway has a telegraphic communication with all parts of Europe has three iron foundries, where steam machinery can be repaired ; its warehouses are capable of being made the American grain depot of the United Kingdom ;—and its hotel accommodation is excellent. • By adopting the Galway route, the Governments of Eng land and America, and the commercial and manufacturing communities of the two countries, will effect a saving - of from twenty-four to forty-eight hours in each- passage. The dan gers of the Channel navigation will be avoided, in which more than a thousand lives, and over five hundred ships, are lost annually. The saving in insurance premiums on ships and cargoes, in the wear and tear of machinery, and in the dimi nished consumption of coal, tallow, engine -stores, and provi sions, will enable this Company to make such a reduction of fares and freights as will prove a great public benefit, and command an increasing and profitable traffic. The importance of this route -is highly appreciated. by the Governments on both sides of the — Atlantic ; and the peculiar advantages which it presentswill undoubtedly secure the trans mission of the mails, not only to the United States and British North AMerica, but through the Hudson's Bay territory to Vancouver's Island and the Gold Regions on the Pacific. • These considerations induced Mr. John Orrell Lever, of Manchester, to place four powerful steamships upon this line, and to despatch them all at bi-weekly intervals to the ports of St. John's, Halifax, Beston, and New York. These•vessels have all carried out full cargoes of passengers and goods, and the rapidity of the sea passage from shore to shore has been such as to be accomplished in less than six days, thus en abling a message to pass from London tolYashington in little more than six days. • A practical demonstration having thus been given of the superior advantages and economy of this route, and the public having called for a much larger development of the under taking, the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company, Limited, has been formed upon a basis which entitles it to the support of the public as a national and commercial enterprise of the first rank. The Company will commence. business without any of the risks attendant upon experimental operations. Arrange ments have been made for the purchase, on equitable terms, of all the vessels now running, together with the valuable con nexion already secured ; and the experience hitherto gained will enable the Company to select such. other steam ships as are best adapted to the service with the greatest economy. Important arran , Tements have also been made for the con venience of travellers with the Grand . Trunk Railway of Canada, and with nearly all the railway companies in Europe and the United States, comprising altogether 2,167 railway and steam packet stations, for booking passengers through the whole extent of the lines. _ _ The rapidity with which communications have been made by the steamships of this company between Europe and America has led the Directors to take into consideration the propriety of making such arrangements with the Electric telegraph Companies of the two Continents as will secure to the commercial - communities the advantage of at least' five days' later information than by any other ex'sting route. The Hon. Robert Grimston, Deputy Chairman of the Elec tric Telegraph Company, will give this Company his assist ance in directing these arrangements. A connexion has also been formed between this line and the American Express Company at New York, by-which the greatest facilities will be secured for booking passengers, and sending specie, gold dust, and valuable packages between Europe and all parts of America and Canada, as well as California and British Columbia. In consequence of the present low price of shipping, the proposed capital of £500,000 will be sufficient to supply steam ships for a .regular weekly packet service ; but as the assur ances of support which the Directors have already received, and the prospects of a remunerative business, justify the expectation of a demand for more extended operations, power has been taken for increasing the capital when the success of the working has been more fully established. The promoters have spared neither time nor labour in com pleting all the preliminary arrangements, in order that the money subscribed by the shareholders may at once yield a profitable return. More than - one4hird of the capital has already - been subscribed by parties practically acquainted with the requisites for carrying out such an undertaking economically and successfully. -This fact will afford the best guarantee of the satisfactory nature of the arrangements which have been made for the management of the Company. Applications 'Ray be made for the remaining shares in the subjoined form, addressed to the Directors at the Offices of the Company, or to either of the Brokers. Each .application must be accompanied by a deposit of £2 per share. The Directors reserve to themselves the right of allotting shares to such persons, and in such numbers, as they may think proper. The deposit will be returned if the application be not acceded to. . THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND - ' MATURITY. Just published, price ls., post free, in an Envelope, for 13 stamps.

Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the 'health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, . and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgenc•a, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting Oi their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional k i c ; lane, Horne, derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

At Kingstown Police-office this day a young and respectably-dressed woman, named Maria Douglas, otherwise Keating, was placed in dock to answer an offence set forth in the following terms in the charge sheet : "-Maria Douglas, for conspiring with John Car den and others, and endeavouring to accomplish the abduction of a lady at present residing at Lord Gough's place, St. Helen's, she having called at the gate lodge and made particular inquiry relating to the lady in questien, and then and there held out a bribe to -Lord Gough's gatekeeper, should she give assistance in accomplishing the object sought." The lady in question is Miss Ellen Arbuthnot, whose attempted abduction by Mr. John Carden six years ago must be still in the recollection of the public. Mr. John E. Walshe, Q.C., appearecT for the prosecution ; Mr. Rolleston, Q.C., for Mr. Carden; and Mr: Curran for., the prisoner. Mr. Walsh called upon the magistrate to take-recognis tinces both from the woman and - I ..V.r . Carden to keep the peace towards Miss T ,rbAtlitiOt. After a lengthened discussion between coiiiisel, the magi strate read. the sworn information of Miss Arbuth not, in which, after referring to the events of her previous persecutiOn by Mr. Carden in 1852, and his subsequent conviction and imprisonment, she deposed as follows : " After the expiration of this imprisonment, the same John - Carden recommenced the same - system of annoyance towards - me i incessantly . following my movements ,wherever.l went, insomuch that I could not visit even the private residences of my friends without his locating himself immediately in the neighbourhood, and-Obtruding himself on me whe:i walking or riding. He did not, however, on these occasions venture to address me, or write to me or my friends, until later, when I was on a visit at Eldersley, j.n . , the county .of Surrey ;. but while I was there, while I was riding one day in company with my brother, William Arbuthnot, Mr. Carden suddenly rode tip ,fmn_behiud and commenced adi dressing me in - an excited manner "by name. My brOther thereupon interfered, and compelled Mr. Carden to retire. On the same evening Mr. Car den- wrote a most insulting letter on the subject of this meeting to myinother.William. Just ,at the same time Mr. Pardon addressed a letter to Mrs, Arbuthnot, my sister-in-law, residing, at Cowarth, near.Staines, ,with the object of procuring an inter view to pre - Ss his suit to me. The letter was, how ever, returned to ,Mr. Carden, who, however, for warded it again; with an 'additional one, to which I also refer,-marked-with-the letter C. I further say that it was my intention to reside shortly with my brothevinzlawthe ufortsaiddlon. George Gaugh, at Loughcooter, in the county of Galway, which is in a lonely and retired part of the country-; and I have been credibly informed that the 'said John Carden within a short time. said that I vas return ing to the neighbourhood- of Clommil, where , l should be surrounded by friends, an ,' he had no elfanee,lut that when I should be at Loughcooter he would-have good opportunities of /carrying out his views." I have recently been infemined a woman employed by.hinj lids tken:4riesteij, and from his previous conduct towards me, and:his objects with regard :to me e tafter: he- was)well (aware, notwith standing his pretences to the contrary, that I will never consent to scre - or - hitvc -- any - intercourse what ever with him, I t swear that I am apprehensive hat he *will, f should occitsion offer, again commit serious violence to - nie,:and that I am in danger *froth him, and that-I- positively swear that I entertain the greatest aversion to the Said Jelin Carden; and I have never given any encouragement to justify hiS ddressit to me, either directly or .iudirectly: Ater. a lengthened argument, Mr. Porter, t 4 magistrate _said there 'could be 'question with regard to-the merits di the case ; but he 'wished to take time to consider - the question as to the 'extent of his jurisdiction. He proposed, therefore, to post 7 pone the further hearing of the 'case tmtil-WedneS day. Mr. Carden applied that the case should be adjourned until Monday, on the, ground that a brother of Miss. Arbuthnot and his wife, who were now staying at I3arnane, were material witnesses on his behalf, and they could not attend before that date. Mr. Walshe said that the brother referred to was in exile from his family and a pensioner ,of Mr. Carden's. The case was then adjourned until . Monday next. Subsequently, upon entering upon her own recognisances to appear when called on, Maria Keating was discharged from custody. , FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. N 0...

Nicolls' original paletot, that is to say, it avoids giving to the wearer an outre appearance, so that professional men and all others can use it during morning and afternoon in or of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessary seams, well known to secure a more graceful out line, as well as to effect a great saving in wear ; the latter advantage is considerably , enhanced by the application of a peculiar:and neatly stitched binding, the mode of effecting which is patented. Great exertions are being made:6) supply Messrs. Nicolls' agents -throughout the country and, the colonies with an assortment of this new garment, simulta neously with the display in London, but it is nec2sary to in form'the public that all Messrs. Nicolls' manufactftres may be distinguished by a trade mark, consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen ; to copy this is fraud, and' may be thus detected. If the garment is dark-coloured, the label has a black ground, with the firm's name and address woven' by the Jacquard loom in gold-coloured silk ; if the garment is light-coloured, the label has a pale drab ground, and red silk letters. Each paletot is marked in plain figures, at a fixed moderate mice, and is of the best materials. In London; the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of 11. J. and D.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTL=— At is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that lie had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained•no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony or those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR - AND THE [COUNTY COURTS. —The Lord Chancellor is re-arranging the dis tricts of the County Courts under the recent Act of Parliament (21 and 22 Victoria, 'c. 74). His lordship has obtained a good deal of information 'on the sub ject, and the re-arrangements are expected shortly to be piornulgated. The number of judges is limited to 60, and by the act the Lord Chancellor is autho rised to alter and re-distribute the districts among the judges, and may appoint two persons to be judges of one or more districts. It would confer a great benefit if his lord ship would order two courts to be held in each month for the hearing of insolvents. The general practice is once a month : and in some places two months intervene, and hence imprisonment for debt in country places becomes a verTyHgEreatßht7RNdshsip.c ENTENARY.—P ro f essor Aytoun has been asked to officiate as croupier on this occasion ; and the request has been acceded to.

STEAMER. (From the -Yew york, Times of Sept. 30.) The following detailed statement of Mr. Alfred Vezin, of Philadelphia, one of the first cabin pas sengers, who lost his mother and two sisters by the disaster, gives full patticulars of the catas trophe : " Mr. Vezin's first intimation of danger was about 2 p.m., when several of the second-class passengers rushed towards the stern of the boat, crying Fire! fire ! He was engaged at the time in a game of shuttlecock with some of his associates, who, with himself, were at first inclined to believe that the alarm was false. On looking round, however, they saw a dense volume of smoke issuing from . the main hatchway, which did not materially change their opinion, as they concluded that the smoke was occasioned by a back draught in the smoke-stack. Mr. Vezin, with a few others, immediately attempted to allay the fears of the excited women and children, but without success, for scarcely 15 minutes elapsed from the time of the alarm before the flames darted out from the amidships, in the vicinity of the wheelhouse. Scarcely 20 minutes after the fire broke out all communication from the after part of the ship, where Mr. Vezin was, to the fore • part was prevented by fire. Thereafter all discipline was ended, the captain and fourth officer being among the foremost to follow the instinct of self-preservation, by endeavouring to enter the boat which some of the frenzied passengers had attempted to lower. Owing to the inexperience of the ma jority of those engaged in this attempt the boat, crowded as she was, did net reach the water suc eessfully. The stern-tackle was let go by the run,' and many of the - wretched people were jerked out of her and never seen again. Captain Heydt mann, who had apparently lost all presence of mind after the announcement of the 'accident, was cl'ng in g, to the tackle of this boat when the stern touched the water, and got on board of her safely. Presently the bow was lowered, 'but as the steamer was'pass ing rapidly ahead—the engines were working at this tine---- . the small boat was st r u c k by the screw, stove, and all' thew on board, it is believed were drowned. • "Ori the deck of the burning-Ship at this time the utmost - confusion prevailed. Some men and women palsied with fear, and aghast at the sudden calamity, made no effort to preserve themselves or their fel loWs, and silly moved when the limes scorched them. , Others or the passengers dart'etlqiere and there--- 7 inothers seeking their little_oneS', husbands their wives, crying and imploring aid:An effort - 4as made, however, on the part of the more Self-posseSsed to extinguish the flames and alleviate the suffer ings of those in the cabin. Every attempt 'to gain access below failing, ropes attached to tin pails filled with. water were procured and lo were d through the hatchway- to the second cabin ; little good Was accomplished in this way. The pails were emptied before - they reached the second deck, and every effort to secure the safety of the vessel was aban doned. The man at the wheel, shortly ater - the fire was discovered, deserted his post;. - and; the vessel sped threngh the waves head to wind, while showers--of. sparks and volumes- of Smoke were wafted by the breeze directly upon the-large num ber of men, women,_antchildren who had collected at the extreme aft - tr part of the ship._ ". Two sails'at -this time were observed at a dis tancel--mere sp.ecks. in the horizon, and', Ship ahoy!' was continually: screamed by many of the sufferers, as though those on board could'immediately answer their cries. One" of .these ships proied .to be the French barque Maurice. She reached the wreck of the' Austria in about four hours. from the time she was first observed. Mr. Vezin.worked as l o n g as he could at 'hauling up the passengers from the cabin through the skylight, and escued six in this way,. These reportedthat manyiaj below smothered by the smoke. His mother and-tivo sisters, one 9 and the - other it years of ageOvere,staliding near the stern of the ship - when the flames first appeared, only a few feet from .himself. loft- to-proeure, if possible, life preserverS for them.' After a7few minutes he returned with a tinEpreierver, bik on account of the press of women *and: children, he could not get nearer than 10. feet to his family again. He called his mother, and desired-to throNt the preserver towards her. She refused to take it,' however, saying it would be of no use, and 'she must perish. The heat shortly became scrintmsb that . Mr.:Kukawl, . climb-over the side of the ship, and he never saw his mother and sisters again. He clung to a rope which fortunately, hung over the starboard side, where the first boat had been cut loose, andheld on there, with his back to the flames until his clothes were burned. At this juncture he saw a big black bag floating by, when he jumped into the water, and after swimming some 'five minutes he reached it. It was filled with cork doubtless by some one of those on board, who in some mischance had lost it. with this he floated for about four hours, when he was picked up by a boat and taken - on board the Maurice. "Mr. Velin states thWilie capacity of the Aus tria's lifeboats was entirely inadequate for the number of passengers. There were four metallic lifeboats and four wooden boats aft, but one of the latter was burned before the tackling could be cut. The boats.wire chocked,' and those who cut the tackling loose did not understand how to lower them - . They fell down with a crash, and precipi tating those on board into the water, and smashing themselves by coming in contact, with the pro peller. One boat contained 15 or 20 women, who were all drowned. . " Mr. Hoxie, of New York, formerly a jobbing merchant, who has been absent about five years, and whose wife died in Italy a short time ago, got into one of th e woo d en boats, at the after part of the vessel.. This boat was so . far left behind that the• French barque lost sight of it, although she sailed about in the vicinity. of the catastrophe all night. " Mr. Vezin thinks that the Austria's engines worked fully an hour after the fire broke out, an d believes the engineers died in their engine room. He heard an explosion while-he was in the water, which he assumed to have been a keg of powder. It was not very loud. He was one of the last to leave the after part of the ship. He saw at one time four or five gentlemen .hanging to a rope over the propeller. Through fatigue they slipped off one by one, were d r awn under the screw, and perished. After Mr. Vezin had been picked up by the small boat he saw Mr. Theodore Eisfeld in the Water.. Mr. Eisfeld was nearly drowned, just gasp ing for breath; when he was taken on board, trans ferred to the Maurice, and proceeded in her to Fayal. The Austria - was poorly supplied with life preservers ; only six, according to Mr. Vezin, had been placed in the aft part of the ship, and the pas sengers, before they leapt into the sea, provided themselves with whatever buoyant articlesthey could procure. Many of the ladies waited until their cloths took fire before they jumped overboard, while some,: in parties of two or three, and sometimes more, clasping. each other's hands, threw themselves into the water, when they would rise, but quickly disappear again in the vessel's wake. Other women stood hesitatingly, until scarcely a particle of clothing was left on them, before they dared to leap the 20 feet which separated them from the waves. Mr. Vezin says the foremast fell about 15 minutes from the time the fire occurred, but the mizenmast stood until late in the evening. Soon after he reached the Maurice a boat containing the first and second: officers, some passengers, and sea men—in all libout 20—came alongside. Some of these stated that from 50 to 60 people were hang ing to the chains at the bottom of the ship. It was nearly dark then, and when the Maurice visited the wreck next morning not a living soul was to be seen. Two corpses were hanging in the martin i gale chains.---One" that of a man, the other of a woman's—with ropes about their necks, which had probably slipped in that position from their waists, to Which fastenings had been attached: On board the Maurice every attention which humanity could dictate was given to the passengers ; those who had no clothing were freely supplied with the best that the scanty wardrobes of the captain and crew could furnish. The morning succeeding the dis aster, 12 of the passengers, including Mr. Vezin, were transferred to the barque Lotus, and taken into Yarmouth (N.S.) A. vessel arrived at Halifax during• his stay there, which reported that the smouldering hull of the Austria had been seen by her on the 15th—two days after the disaster. " Among the passengers whom Mr. Vezin knew on board were:— " 1. Dr. Seldener, of Philadelphia, " 2. Mr. Brandt, of Chicago. " 3. Mr. Bogle, of Baton Rouge (La.). Mr. Vezin states that this gentleman was in the water close by him, and said to him, Can you swim ? I can't swim a stoke !' He received an affirmative answer, when he remarked, ' Should you survive communicate with my wife, and-inform her how I died, and say I thought of her to the end.' He shortly afterwards disappeared in the water. 4. Mr. Mayurie, of Salem, who for some years had been a merchant on the Coast of Zanzibar. Vezin hot saw him in thesmoking-room. Doubtless he was smothered, as none who were in that room ever appeared on deck after the fire was discovered.

At the bottom of the quarter brattice there is a scaffold similar to the cap head, between the furnace head and the bottom of the shaft. . It is to prevent the downcast air getting into the upcast shaft. In sinking the pit a blower of gas was met at 12 fathoms, extending round the whole of the shaft. An accident was occasioned at that time by its firing, by which the mast er s i n k er was killed. The plank tubbing from the surface was put in for collecting and securing this gas, and metal pipes and gas boxes were put through the tubbing and brought up the shaft, 30 feet above the surface. It was quite successful, so far as he had seen. At the depth of 28 fathoms there was a slight discharge of gas, occasionally seen at the time of sinking, that was also secured by plank tubbing and a pipe into the upcast drift. In the well, in which there must always be water, a pipe was inserted,- which went down the shaft to the cap head, and into a box at the under side of the cap head, and then into a horizontal box the whole length of the water brattice, in which were holes for distributing the water over the whole of that brattice. The engine feed was supplied from a point at a great elevation. The pond was always full of water. At the time of the accident there was from four to five feet depth of water in the pond. The water was seven feet deep in the feed. The pipe cannot be stopped up, as there arc seven feet water, -and it is closed over the top. If it was stopped up at all it would show itself immediately. There was another supply of water from the sur face: It went loose down the wall sides of the pit on to the tap head. By a ledge at the cap head it distributed itself over the other side of the quarter brattice. In one of the upcasts they had waste water from the pumps, which kept the shaft con stantly wet. The water from rings in the sha:l, being waste from the shaft, got to this pai t, of the brattice, and ran through it at the ends and kept it wet. The furnace drift is three fathoms from the bottom of the pit. The furnace drift was eight feet wide in the centre. A bye-drift at the south-east side of it was a .separate ventilating drift; they both entered the shaft together. Part of the heated air went over the surface, and the cool air by the bye-drift. About one-half of the heated air would pass over the furnace and the other under ; about equal quantities. On the north-west side of the furnace drift was a travelling way, which had two doors, separating the downcast from the upcast air. The furnace was 30 yards distant from the shaft. It was only a five-feet furnace—five feet wide, the bars six feet long. It was eight feet six inches deep. Mr. Atkinson—Was at the pit with the inspec tor in July last, when they discussed the general arrangements of the mine. He (witness) sug gested the propriety of driving a new drift 100 yards from the bottom of staple to the seam of coals, to form a separate outlet to the surface. Mr. Atkinson agreed to it, and it Was immediately com menced, •and carried on to the time of the accident. The staple was tubbed with plank tubbing from top to bottom. The workings extended :over 80 acres. The volume of air passing through them was 23,500 feet per minute. The whole of the workings are in the township of Stocklev. John Mould, overman at the pit, went down it on the morning' of the 30th of September , at 2 o'c lock, with David - Bollam, John Waller, and George Rob son, deputies. A stone workman, named Jas.Stod dart, came down after them. His and the deputies' duties were. to see that the pit was all right. It was all right on that morning. He and the deputies went through all of the workings. After they had. gone through they met near the furnace. The three depu ties reported " All right." The Page Bank people came down about half-past 2 ; they were followed by the Spennymoor men at three ; the boys came at six.• He went up the shaft before the . boys came down. Stones were drawn up between two and six. Coal was not drawn until the boys came down. Remained at the bank a quarter of an hour, and then descended.

HIGHLAND CLOAK „is a combinalion of utility, ejegance t and comfort. No Lady having seen or used such in - travelling . , for morning wear, or for covering full dress would willingly be without one. It somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and has an elastic Capucine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and meal fl 12 to 16 yards round the outer edge, falling in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical contrivance (such being apart of the Patent) the wearer can instantly form semi-sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty ; at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume its original shape. The materials chiefly used are the soft neutral coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manu factured by this firm. • The price will be two guineas and a half fof each Cloak but with the Mecznique and a lined Hood a few shillings more is charged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who • prepare Mantles of all kinds, with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets, either for in or out door use. These at all times—like this Firm's Riding Habit—are in good taste and fit well. •Female'attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames it Cheval, partially composed of Chamois. As no measure is required the Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the Country, and is thus well adapted for atift. 11. J. and D.

THE ...41?.1417: In-- the proposed_ augmentatiOn.- of, the corps:of Royal Marine Light Infantry the .14illery compa nies will, it is understood; be fOrmed into a sepa rate division, with the usual complement ofcolonels, lieut.• • colonels, captains, and subateths now attached to the Light Infantry companies. It has not yet been definitely arranged whether fhehead 7 quarters of the new division will be fixed •nt Pembroke or Portland, but it is most probable that Pemb7oke will be selected for this . purpose, as each o_2 . the other large naval poi ts, with - the exception of , Sheerness, has a division of Royal Marines• attached to the station, and from the close proximity, of Sheerness to the first division at Chatham the for mation of a separate 'division at that port has . not been considered necessary: The, strength of - the Artillery companies at present is 1 colonel second. commandant, 1 lieut.-colonel, 1 brevet lieut.-colo nel, 4 brevet majors, 10 captains, 36 first licute• nants, .14 second. - lieutenants,' and 1,500 non-com missioned officers and men, the whole of whom are picked men chiefly from the Light Infantry com panies, and are among the very finest troops in the service. Should the contemplated augmentation be carried into effect, the strength of the Artillery companies will be increased to upwards of 5,000 At pre6c4t the cvnpanies are attached to the Portsmouth division of Royal Marines. Additional recruiting parties have already been despatched for the purpose of raising men for the intended aug mentation. Yesterday, the troopship Urgent having returned from Alexandria, orders were issued for the Ist battalion of the 3d Buffs to embark in that vessel, and proceed by the overland route to India. Yesterday a number of additional recruiting par ties were sent out in the metropolis to enlist men for the 6th (Enniskillen) Dragoons, Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, Military Train, 24th Royal Warwickshire, and the 99th Foot. A detachment of the 21st (Royal North British) Fusileers pro ceeded to Hastings, and a party. of the 36th to Bristol. Recruiting is now being vigorously prose cuted in the metropolis and provinces, parties at tending the head-quarters of the militia regiments on the men completing their training to enrol those who may wish to join the line. On Tuesday the loth Hussars were-minutely in spected by Major-General Lawrence, commanding the Cavalry Brigade at Aldershott. The regiment had a field-day and foot parade. The General ex pressed himself highly satisfied with the appear ance and efficiency of the regiment. Yesterday contracts were issued by Government for the construction of the new fortifications and buildings at Gravesend and Tilbury Fo. In the course of the month the Terrav-pier and Gardens at Gravesend will pass into the hands of Govern ment, when the contemplated works to facilitate the landing and embarkation of troops at this port will be immediately commenced. Contracts were also issued for the construction of a breakwater in front of the redoubt at Eastbourne. The contract for the manufacture of the new pattern of light clothing to be worn by the army in India has been taken by. Messrs. Isaac. The mate rial. of the clothing, is a drab jean cut in the form of a blouse, with jean shoulder straps, and the num ber of the regiment embroidered thereon. The trousers are of the same material, shaped a la Zottare, the head-dress being a drab-coloured felt helmet. A large supply of the new clothing will be sent out with the next reinforcements. THE MILITIA. The 2d Middlesex Royal Edmonton Rifle Militia, Col. Lord Enfield, were inspected on Tuesday at Barnet by Col. Douglas, who expressed his approval of their soldierlike appearance and the manner in which they manoeuvred. After the inspection a number of the men volunteered for the line. The regiment has been dismissed, having completed the period of training. The outrageous proceedings of the North Cork Rifle Militia at Sheerness were on Tuesday fully investigated by. Mr. E. Twopenny and Mr. J. 1). Dyke, two of the county magistrates. Having ob tained the evidence of a number of the inhabitants, they proceeded with Captain Ruston, chief con stable of the county, to confer with the Commander in-Chief, Admiral E. Harvey, and Lieut.-Col. N e d_ ham, Commandant of the Garrison, on the best steps to be taken to prevent further outrages. The delinquent regiment was at once confined to bar racks, and placed under charge of sentries of the Royal Artillery, with stringent orders not to allow any of the corps to leave their respective room s .l The charges against several prisoners who had been apprehended on the previous e vening were then inquired into, and th ree o f the mi litiamen were remanded for trial by district c ourt-martial. Two civilians, named Edwin Had docks and Stephen Jordan, charged with as saul t, being were brought before the justices , the latter fined 31., and Mad docks bound over to keep the peace. We under stand that the facts have been submitted to the Horse Guards' th au orities by the Commandant, whose prompt measures deserve the highest praise. The • Rifles being confined to their barracks, the town was perfectly quiet, and the shopkeepers re slimed their usual occupations. A court of inquiry sat yesterday, presided over by the Colonel-Com mandant, to receive the evidence of the inhabitants. There are from 30 to 40 witnesses to be examined, a number of them being tradesmen whose premises have been damaged by the Rifles. Charges of a grave character have beenbrought against the com missioned officers and non-commissioned officers in charge of the picket, as well as against the picket THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. The following is a copy of a circular transmitted by Count Walewski to the French Ministers abroad, and which furnishes the meaning and pur port attached by the Imperial Government to the Convention agreed on at the late Paris Confer- ence : " Paris, Aug. 29. " Sir,—The Conference of Paris held its 19th and last sitting yesterday, and the Plenipotentiaries have proceeded to the signature of a convention destined to regulate the organisation of the Princi palities of Moldavia and Wallachia. "As the document will not be published till after the exchange of the ratifications, I think it my duty to indicate to -0-11 at once its general spirit arid most essential dispositions. " The Government of the Emperor, as you know, declared itself in favour of the complete union of the two Principalities under the government of a foreign prince, who should be united to the Sultan by . the link of suzerainty. Our convictions on that point are unchanged. They have been strength ened, if possible, by the unanimous manifesta tion of the Moldo-Wallachian peoples, when called on to express their wishes. However, obliged to pay deference to the dissentient opinions of other Powers, and especially to that of the Suzerain Court, we were compelled to seek for means of conciliating these divergencies as far as possible with the inte rests of the Principalities. " I am pleased to think that our efforts have not been without success. In fact, though the complete union we desired is not sanctioned by the Conven tion of the 19th August, I may yet say that docu ment gives to the Principalities a denomination which is a sort of homage paid to the principle of union. It establishes, moreover, for both one and the same constitution, and an identical legislation, embracing all matters not having a special and purely local character. It establishes a common military organisation, a high court of justice, and, above all, a permanent council, belonging to either Principality, and having for its especial function to watch over the maintenance of the oneness of the legislation applicable to the two Principalities. " These arrangements, which I but partly enter into, constitute a real union in substance. There is every reason, therefore, to believe that the Moldo- Wallachian people will be satisfied with them, and at the same time esteem th em as a testmiony of our solicitude in their favour. " I should very dchidarlacntoetr add d f a t the that the imperfectly Convention signalise the essential rinai of pies of thel l 9 7n tho f the Augustbass of our civil a n d public law, are reproduced therein in thei r f un d amentals. An elective assembly voting the laws and controlling the budget ; responsible Ministers ; equality before the law and the taxes ; enjoyment of political rights given to all Christian creeds, and to be hereafter extended to all forms of worship ; individual liberty guaranteed ; the aboli tion of class privileges, the abuse of which had assumed a deplorable extension ; the principle of irremovability introduced into the magistracy— such are the principal constitutional arrangements brought into force in the Principalities. " The Government of the Empire, in exerting their enactment, and in so giving to the Moldo- Wallachian nation a political regime that may appear more liberal than is suited to the state of their civilisation and mannets, has not yielded to the seduction of any absfract theory ; but knowing that the country whose organisation it was in question to provide for had been for cen turies handed over to administrative abuses and disorders as numerous as they were inveterate, it and, auth o in rit t y he re a g lT is n i c te e of wasmen ne c es sa r investedy to for such a task, it did not appear possible to find, it elsewhere than in a sev ere and efficacious control, with seek tahre remedy, moral ed the exercise of which sh ould be placed in the hands of an elective assembly. " In addressing you the present despatch, I have no other object t han to enable y ou to r ectify the ei - oneous i n formation or appreciations th a t may Re c eto pia knowledge.— ceive, Rze., " WALEITSB.I."-- VL ~~' ',~
