COATS, of Ferguslie, near Paisley, and has not even a p ar t ner of the name of Coats in it. The title of the bankrupt firm was a ruse of the most unjustifiable kind, and one to which the Messrs. COATS have more than once been subjected. They had lately to defend themselves against a similar manoeuvre in America, and were seccessful. The Paisley concern appears to have quite deservedly ruined itself by its attempts to impose on the public. The great fame of the sewing cotton of the Ferguslie Works is, of course, the explanation of these disgraceful fabrications. The Paisley case is another illustration of the necessity of a registration of firms and partners."—Glasgow Morning Journal of Thurs day, 22d Sept., 1859.

Amid all the hurry of preparation, and almost while it was yet uncertain as to the extent of the actual repairs required, it has been suddenly de cided that the Great Eastern shall start from this port on her trial trip on the Bth inst. A few days since it was all but formally resolved that the great ship should go round to Southampton, there to undergo what we may term a thorough refitting, without which all on board knew she could never go to sea with safety. The real friends of the undertaking rpjoiced in this step, as one likely to result in proper time being given for the vessel to be thoroughly equipped for sea, in accordance with the regulations of the Board of Trade, and all the preparations were accordingly made for mooring the Great Eastern opposite Netley Hospital by the 6th or 7th. At the last moment this arrangement has been set aside, and it has been decided that, ready or not ready, the vessel goes to sea on her trial trip on Saturday next. One of the reasons assigned for this course is the necessity of keeping faith with the public. Yet the public are not al lowed to be present at a trial trip which they have paid their money to see. This exclusion of the passengers, however, is cer tainly not due to any act of self-denial on the part of the Great Ship Company, but solely to a wise precaution of the Board of Trade, which resolutely withholds from the Great Eamtein her certificate to carry passengers till the reasonable alterations which have been suggested have been carried into effect. As yet few, if any, of these suggestions have been attended to at all, so the ship remains and will remain Without a passenger certificate till the Board of Trade are satisfied that all that human skill and foresight can achieve has been done to render her perfectly safe. Nevertheless, without passengers the great ship can go on her trial trip at once, which seems strange enough when we regard the matter in its proper light. If Brown, Jones, and Robinson want to travel, the all-complaisant Board of Trade steps in and sees that the vessel which takes these illustrious voyagers on board is duly provided with all that can promote their com fort or insure their safety. Not so, however, with the firemen, sailors, and stokers, who go to earn their bread, and who are actually shipped on board the vessel through the agency of Government officers on their behalf. Apparently the Board of Trade cannot interfere; though, when the Great Eastern clears out of this port on Saiurday nest, she will have a larger number of human beings on board— firemen, sailors, and others—than any passenger steamvessel that ever quitted the shores of this kingdom. The mere coasting round to Holyhead, however, in truth, affords no chance of risk, and for many reasons connected with the machinery of the ship, it may be regarded as a necessary step that this short voyage should be undertaken at once. When we have said this much, however, we have said all, and it would be merely deceiving our readers if we stated positively that because the Great Eastern arrives at Holyhead as per advertise ment, therefore she will start for America with the same punctuality. The Great Eastern can scarcely leave Holyhead on the 20th, and if she could do so the Board of Trade will not let her until all their urgent requirements for the safety of passengers have been complied with to the very letter. About a week since an article on this ship informed our readers of some of the principal improvements whioh had been suggested, or were likely to be insisted on, by the Board of Trade. Few, if any, of these alterations have yet been carried out, and to com• plete them all will be a work of such time as ren ders it quite impossible that the vessel can be ready by the 20th, or during the month of October at all. The two forward boilers, which were injured by the explosion, have been repaired, but not by replacing the damaged plates with new ones, as the Board of Trade insisted, but by putting patches on those which were most bent and strained. A patched boilerplate may possibly be as strong as a new one, but in these cases the wisest economy is to put the matter beyond all doubt. Contrary to the expressed wish of the directors and the Board of Trade, Mr. Scott Russell has positively refused to do this, and insisted on patching the boilers until the vessel goes round to Holyhead. The bilge and injection pumps, to make the engines self feeding, and so do away with the most objectionable arrangement of leaving the boilers dependent for their feed-water on the donkey engines, was ano ther matter recommended by the Board of Trade. The value of this suggestion is clear to all ,and eel tainly before th e s hi p l eaves H o l y h ea d t h e di rectors if they ar e w i se , will see that it is properly carried out. In one point of view the intended trial trip will decidedly be of the very greatest use, in fully and fairly testing the capacity and speed of both sets of engines. During the voyage to the Nore and from the Nore to Hastings, when the greatest amount of speed was obtained the paddle never worked above 81, and the screw more than 32 revolutions per minute. Yet to obtain the maximum speed thepaddles must go 14 and the screw 53 revolutions in the same time. The Board of Trade, we believe, have sug gested, in a way that cannot be overlooked or mis taken, that the maximum number of revolutions shall be obtained from both engines before proceed ing to sea with passengers, and for this purpose th• run round to Holyhead will undoubtedly afford great facilities. The directors, to do them mere justice are determined that everything shall be put beyond a doubt, and intend during the trial trip to test the engines to the very utmost of which they are capable. Mr. Scott Russell goes in charge of his own engines. Whether the screw can go 53 and the paddles 14 re volutions or not will make very little difference in the success of the vessel, as it is seen that 12 revolutions of the paddle and 44 of the screw can be obtained with the utmost ease and certainty, which alone will give the Great Eastern a speed of at least 17 knots, or more than 19 statute miles per hour, and nearly double the rate of speed at which the sea-going mails are contracted for. One element in the suc cess of the Great Eastern seems to have been over looked by all, though we believe it will prove a most important one, and that is her sailing quali ties. Though, for her size, she spreads a very small amount of canvas, yet her captain and all the nau tical men who have seen her express a most confi dent opinion that, with a fair strong breeze, her sailing speed will almost equal her steaming. Some of the sails are being bent, and all will be ready before she starts on Saturday. The course of the vessel from this port will be to the Scilly Isles, and thence across Channel to the Old Head of Kinsale, and so on up Channel to lolyhead harbour. It is hoped and expected that during some part of this trip, which will last from the Bth to the 11th, an opportunity will be afforded of testing her sailing power, and the result of this trial is looked forward to with much interest. The anchorage chosen for the great ship at Holyhead can hardly be said to be inside the breakwater, but rather on a line with its eastern extremity. Inside the breakwater there is not sufficient room for her to swing to a single anchor with safety. The place where she is to lie is rather open to a heavy swell when the wind is from the north-east, and this may possibly on some days make it difficult to bring steamers alongside; but, on the whole, it is as fine a berth as any that could have been fixed upon. The arrangements making for excursionists are on the most extensive scale. During one day (the 17th) it is expected that the ship will be closed to visitors, as on that day it is rumoured her Majesty will inspect the breakwater, and of course visit the Great Eastern. While she is at Holyhead a great deal of work must be performed. The indiarubber packing be tween the flanges of the cast-iron masts has to be re moved, and its place supplied with hornbeam; the deficient boilers have to be repaired, feed and bilge pumps fitted to both engines, and fire pumps and hose attached to the auxiliary screw engines. At present the only fire hose are those attached to the pair of auxiliary engines forward, and these have also to pump the bilge, wash the decks, and work the steam gear for heaving round the capstan forward. In fact, these two all-important engines have too much to do, and in case of anything happening to them, no fire could be put out or leak checked. It is to provide against both these dangers that it has been arranged to fit the auxiliary screw engines with fire hose, and the chief engines themselves with bilge and injection pumps. When all these are fitted the Great Eastern will have pumps enough to keep down a leak as big as 20 portholes, or throw upwards of 20 tons of water on a fire. To-day the new funnel was got on end and riveted together, so that for the first time since the explosion the ship has resumed her natural appearance. In the course of to-morrow ednesday) upwards of 100 able sea men will join as crew from London. During Thursday the forward boilers will be tested with the hydraulic pumps, and the new machinery in connexion with the forward capstan got into gear for heaving in a little of the cable. Mr. Crace's men work incessantly to redecorate the grand saloon, but this will scarcely be com pleted before the arrival of the vessel at Holyhead. Much work to the lower saloon cabin fittings will then still remain to be accomplished, but progress with this is of little moment, as for the first voyage across the Atlantic there may probably be more cabins than occupants. The three injured stokers are progressing most favourably, and may be pronounced convalescent. Several additional subscriptions have been for warded to Captain Harrison for the widows and orphans of those who have perished, many of whom have been left utterly destitute. t Entry stationed at Chatham, took place by Major , Gen. H. Eyre, commandant of the garrison. The , whole of the available force of the two battalions assembled on the general parade-ground shortly before 2 o'clock ; the Ist battalion under the com mand of Col. H. Jervis, consisting of the depots of the 7th (Royal Fusileers), 24th, 35th, 43d (Light Infantry), 53d and 77th Regiments; the 2d batta lion, under the command of Col It. N. Phillips, comprising the depot companies of the 20th, 23d (Royal Welsh Fusileers), 31st, 52d (Light Infantry), and 73d Regiments. Notwithstanding the nume rous detachments despatched during the last few weeks from this garrison to India, amounting in the aggregate to a very little short of 1,000 men, the battalions are very strong, and number upwards of 2,000 bayonets. On the arrival of the Major-Gene ral, attended by several officers of the staff, he pro ceeded to make a careful and very minute inspec tion of the troops, going through the companies of each battalion and passing up and down the front and rear of each, the inspection occupying the General same time. The men displayed an exceed ingly neat and soldierly appearance, the result of the inspection proving the high state of efficiency , and discipline of the troops attached to the batta lions at Chatham. Yesterday the depot of the 29th (Worcestershire) Regiment vacated the tents at Fort Amherst, Cha tham, in which it has been encamped during the summer, and proceeded to Devonport to join the British depot battalion at that station. Yesterday an order was received at Chatham for quarters to be prepared in Chatham Barracks for the depot companies of the Ist battalion, 6th Foot, which will proceed to that garrison from Colchester to supply the vacancy occasioned by removal of the 29th Regiment. The CAth depot will be attached to the 2d battalion, under the command of Colonel Phillips. On 'Monday evening a detachment of the 84th Regiment, just returned from India, arrived at Shef field to join the remainder of the regiment, which is now stationed there. It consisted of 166 men, accompanied by seven women and 14 children. Capt. the Hon. W. H. Herbert was in command, the other officers accompanying the detachment being Lieuts. Foster and Griffin, Ensign Knox, As sist.-Surg. Jenkins, and Quartermaster Nally. The detachment embarked in the Gertrude at Calcutta on the 21st of Mai, and made a very protracted voyage, during which the cholera broke out, and proved fatal to nine of the men and one of the women. Part of the regiment, it will be recollected, served under General Havelock during his glorious struggle to relieve the garrison of Lucknow, among whom were some of their own comrades. The B Battery of Royal Artillery, under the com mand of Capt. Paget, arrived in Ipswich yesterday from the Camp at Aldershot. The battery comprises 174 men, and has four 6-pounders and two 12. pounder howitzers. On Monday all the troops stationed in the camp at Colchester marched out to meet the corps while on the way to Ipswich, on the London road. The force thus concentrated com- prised 12 Indian depots, the Dublin Artillery Militia, and the Essex Rifles Militia—in all up wards of 2,000 men. The Himalaya screw troopship, Commander John Seccombe, on her arrival in England from Bermuda with the 26th (Cameronians) Foot on board, will disembark them at Kingstown. It had been origin ally intended to place the regiment on its arrival in camp at Aldershot, but its destination has been since altered to Kingstown by orders issued from the Horse Guards. The 2d Somerset Militia, under the command of Col. Pinney, M.P., was inspected on Saturday last by Col. Longden, C. 8., commanding the 10th Foot. nearly 800 men were on the ground. After having seen the regiment go through se veral battalion movements under the commanding officer, the Major of the regiment was directed to put the men through the manual and platoon exer cise, and some of the captains called out to drill their companies. The inspecting officer expressed himself highly satisfied with the efficient manner in which the several movements, &c., were gone through, and with the creditable appearance of so fine a body of men. The Tipperary Artillery Militia, numbering 891 1 of all ranks, were carefully inspected on Monday by Major-General Sir J. Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., attended by Colonel Noel Lake, C. 13., commanding artillery of the south-west district. Sir J. Scarlett ordered the men at once to their guns. He seemed much pleased with the field-gun exercise, the strong able men of which the regiment is composed work ing the six-pounders with drag-ropes with almost as much rapidity as if they had been honed. The guns of Fort Monckton were next fired, and the General seemed greatly pleased and surprised at the accuracy of practice, the target being placed at a distance of 1,200 yards. The blank firing at Blockhouse Fort was also in excellent time and very steady. Having all the officers and men of the regiment drawn up in quarter distance column the General addressed them as follows :—" A finer body of men, more cleanly, more orderly, more sol dier-like I have never seen. To Lord Donough more, your Lieut.-Col., to your officers, and to yourselves the greatest credit is due, and to all of you I have to express my entire satisfaetion. I have seen a great many militia regiments, but I can truly say I never yet saw one at all equal to this," THE LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP HERON. • The following is a narrative, furnished to the Board of Trade by Mr. Thomas Blackie, of the barqua Irlam, of Liverpool, relative to his falling in with and saving Captain Truscott and 24 others, part of the officers and crew of her Majesty's late sloop Heron. On the 9th of May last, when in lat 5.20 N., and long. 14.55 W., the weather at the time settling down after a perfect hurricane, wind S.W.—at 1 p.m. saw a boat full of men right astern of us, some of them perfectly naked ; I ordered the ship to be laid to. On the boat rowing up alongside, and in quiring who they were, found that her Mujesty's sloop Heron had foundered, and that the boat's crew, consisted of Captrin Truscott, the gunner, and boatswain, and part of the petty officers and seamen of the sloop. Got them all on board. Capt. Truscott stated they had been eight hours without food or water, the thermometer standing at this time 90 in the shade. Their first cry was, " Give us water; our tongues are parched." Captain Trus cott, the gunner, and the boatswain, were shown down to my cabin ; the seamen were accommodated in the forecastle ; all those that were naked and re quiring clothes were provided from my stock ; every restorative and refreshment were administered to them that the ship afforded. Capt. Truscott being anxious to ascertain if there were any other sur vivors, requested me to go back to the bearings where the Heron had foundered, in the hope of saving some of the crew. I immediately complied therewith. steering S.W. by W.S.NIT., the same day, at 8 p.m., as I was going up out of my cabin, I fancied I heard a voice calling for help. I immediately ordered and assisted to lower the quarterboat. I sent five hands in her. They pulled round and round the ship at a distance of about 700 yards. I kept the ship's hell striking. A truly awful silence prevailed fore andaft, the sur vivors looking at each other with looks not to be described. It was the death knell of their ship mates. This was continued for two hours. The boats's crew not finding any person, returned to the ship at 10 p.m. I remained about the spot until noon of the following day. Finding our search fruitless, I then bore up on our course for Sierra Leone, where we arrived on the 16th, at 3 30 p.m. Captain Truscott proceeded in my boat to her Ma jesty's ship Trident. In about half an ourafte h the Trident's launch came alongside, and the offi ce rs and seamen left for the Trident, taking her Ma jesty's sloop Heron's boat with them. Commander Lord Edward Cecil, in command of her Majesty's screw steam sloop Surprise, and Commander F. A. Close, in command of the paddlewheel steam vessel Trident, the senior officer on that station, came on board the Irlam. A few days after Commander Close gave me a certificate for saving the lives of the survivors. The following is a copy H.M.S. Trident, Sierra Leone, May 21. This is to certify that Mr. Thomas Blackie, master of the barque Irlani, of Liverpool, received on board his vessel, in lat. 5 20 N., long 14 55 W ., Commander W. H . T ruscott and 24 men, being the survivors from H.M. sloop Heron, which foundered at sea in a tornado, 200 miles from the nearest land. Further, that Capt. Blackie bore up out of his course, and proceeded to the spot of the dreadful catas trophe, with the hopeof saving more of the Heron's ship's company. Captain Blackie treated the dis tressed survivors with the greatest kindness and humanity, and he deserves the utmost regard and tha'nks from every officer and man in the Royal Navy, for the noble part he performed on the above occasion.—F. A. CLOSE, Commander and Senior Officer of the Northern Division." The sufferings of Captain Truscott, his officers and men, appeared to have been very great, although only exposed for eight hours, from want of water and the extreme heat, which had blistered and I burnt their skins all over their bodies. Had not a PR ICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. . —. kind Providence placed us in their way, their end must have been the very worst of deaths, and that in a few hours, as they all expressed themselves of opinion that they could not have survived until the following morning. ANOTIIER BOILER F,XPLOSIO.V. The truth of the adage that " misfortunes never come single" unhappily receives daily confirmation. Thus, our columns, containing the close of the in quest on the five persons killed by the late steam boiler explosion at the Lewes Fair on the 21st ult., are scarcely before the public ere it is our painful duty again to record a somewhat similar catastro phe, though fortunately far less sweeping in its disastrous results to human life, if entailing a greater destruction of property. Last Monday evening, about ten o'clock, great excitement was occasioned in Lewes by the report that a steam boiler explosion had occurred to the engine of the up goods train, which leaves Lewes station shortly after nine o'clock. The•catastrophe was stated to have occurred near the site where Ashcombe turnpike gate formerly stood, and thither numbers of persons quickly bent their steps, only to find that the rumour was unfortunately but too true. It appears that the goods train, a heavy one, con sisting of about 45 trucks, left the Lewes station shortly after nine o'clock, drawn by engine No. 108, and propelled at the hindmost extremity by engine No. 50, the steepness of the incline from Southover to Falmer necessitating this description of aid. On arriving at that part of the line situated some few yards beyond the first milestone near Ashcombe, the boiler of the leading engine exploded. The engine -driver, Jones, and the fireman, John Oliver, were thrown with terrific force to a considerable distance, Jones falling some thirty yards to the front upon the line, and Oliver on the right hand or north'bank ; the engine being driven forward, and finally whelming over across the up line, the tender falling in a transverse direction across tho down line. A luggage truck filled with pockets of hops, bearing the name of Mr. Wheatley, of Buz ted, was next to the tender, but owing to the pro pulsion of the train by the No. 50 engine, a cattle truck containing two cows was driven with such violence that it was forced completely over the hop truck and upon the top of the engine. Such was the position of things as ascertained by those who first arrived on the site of the accident. It seems that among the persons earliest on the spot were Mr. Brittain, one of the clerks of the London and County Bank, and Mr. R. Wells. These gentlemen were walking on the Brighton-road, when their at tention was drawn to the goods train, and while ob serving its progress they were suddenly startled by a loud explosion. They immediately ran to the spot, and, after a brief search, discovered the unfortunate engine -driver and fireman lying as above described, and in a fearful condition. As sistance was immediately sent for. Brandy was obtained from Mr. Ingram, of Ashcombe, who promptly repaired to the spot, and information of the catastrophe was despatched to the station at Lewes by means of the hindmost engine. No time was lost in telegraphing t o B r i g h ton f or a i d ; while Mr. Turner and his son, surgeons (Lewes), were at once summoned. But a very short time elapsed before Mr. Brooks, the Lewes stationmas ter, accompanied by the Messrs. Turner, and by such force as could be got together, proceeded to the scene of the disaster, in a carriage drawn by No. 50 engine. Mr. Jenner and Mr. llaws, of the East Sussex constabulary, were also quickly on the spot. The first object was to render assistance to the unfortunate sufferers. On examination it ap peared that the engine driver had received severe injury and contusions, but not to the extent suffered by the fireman, whose legs were said to be broken, and one thigh " smashed" in the most terrible man ner. By about 10 o'clock a train had arrived from Brighton, conveying Mr. Craven, chief of the loco motive department, Mr. Sadler, his chief assistant, and a numerous staff of men. On their arrival it was at once decided to place the wounded men in a railway carriage, and, accompanied by both the Messrs. Turner, Mr. Geer of Southover, Mr. Starmer, and Sergeant Baldwin, who kindly volunteered their aid, the sufferers were conveyed to Brighton station and thence to the county hospital. At first some hopes were entertained that life might be spared, but we regret to say that the injuries sus tained by John Oliver were so extensive that he died shortly after his admission to the hospital. In deed, he was sinking rapidly when Mr. Turner and his s. ii left him in the hands of the medical officers of that institution. Jones's leg and collar bone were found to be broken ; but strong hopes are entertained that his injuries, though great, will not prove fatal. - Fortunately the injury to life and person was confined to the two poor fellows above named. There were two guards to the goods train, riding in the guard-van at its end, and neither these nor the engine driver nor fireman of the hind engine ap pear to have sustained any injury, although dis tinctly feeling the shock caused by the sudden check given to the train. So son as the train contaixing the unfortunate sufferers had been despatched, immediate steps were taken by Mr. Craven to clear the line. We ought to state, however, that on the occurrence of the aw. c- dent immediate precautions were taken by the guards to send danger signals both in advance and in the rear on the up and down lines, in order to give timely warning to any trains that might ap proach. Fortunately, the last regular t rains be tween Brighton and Lewes had already passed the scene of accident. An excursion train, however, the last of the " Swiss Gardens" series, was ex pected from Shoreham, and this was intercepted at Brighton and sent up the line to the Keymer junc tion, so as to reach Lewes by that route. And now commenced the work of examination and of clear ance. It appeared on inspection that the explosion had taken place in that part of the boiler immedi ately above the fire. The ash pan and fire bars were completely driven out, and as the engine lay on its side the fire box entirely gutted" exhibited the damage to the boiler. The top of the inside fire box, formed of thick copper, clamped with massive iron bars, was rent asunder and hung down into the firebox, bent and twisted by the violence of the explosion. The exterior casing of the smoke-box, at the farther extremity ofthe boiler, was also blown out, and shattered to fragments, which were forced to a considerable distance. Of course both engine and tender had received minor injuries from the force of the concussion, but that we have described appeared to be the main damage done to the engine. Indeed, it seemed to be almost incomprehensible that such enormous power could have been exerted C 4 that which must have bait needful to overthrow two such masses of iron as the engine and tender without entailing infinitely greater damage to both. The scene presented at this period, while the re moval of the wreck was going forward, was most striking, and will not be easily forgotten by those who witnessed it. Crowds of persons had assembled on the bank on the south side of the line, and these, with the number of workmen and others on the railway itself, were brought into prominent relief by the glare of the torches and fires lighted for the purpose of enabling Mr. Craven and his staff to execute their arduous task. The first thing at tempted was to extricate the cattle imprisoned in the truck mounted aloft on the top of the engine. Sledge hammers and saws were quickly in requisi tion, and in a very short time one side of the truck was cut away, and to the astonishment of all, the two cows dropped quietly on terra firma, and the fence being cut through, walked coolly into an ad joining meadow, where they, apparently unhurt, immediately began to graze. These animals having been rescued from their perilous position, and the cattle truck being found to be damaged beyond re pair, it was forthwith knocked to pieces, with the double obje3t of disentangling it from the engine and of affording fuel for the fires which it became necessary to make, in order to enable the workmen to prosecute their labours. About 11.30 a further train, bearing a fresh relay of workmen, with ropes, chains, tackling, and appliances of every de scription, arrived from Brighton. Thus reinforced, Mr. Craven was enabled to make rapid progress with the removal of the debris, and the mode in which the chaos which prevailed was gradually re duced to order seemed a marvel to those who, on beholding the extent to which the line was block aded, would have been disposed to pronounce a clearance impossible within the next 24 hours. One by one, however, the trucks were disengaged, placed upon the rails, and removed, until at last only the engine and tender remained to be dealt with. These, however, required the application of great power to effect their removal, as both had been thrown over on their sides. The first attacked was the tender, and the plan adopted was to raise the side lying on the ground by means of powerful jacks until it had been elevated to a sufficient point to enable it to be pulled upright by ropes. Once on its " feet," or rather its wheels, there still remained the laborious task of removing the ponderous mass sideways across the metals to the up-line, which was ultimately effected. By 5 o'clock this morning the down-line was entirely clear ; all the debris of every description had been , . 7118 ArAY I . The Arrogant, 47, screw frigate, Capt. W. Ed monstone, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour on Monday afternoon to the trial ground in Stokes' Bay, to make trial of her speed and test her ma chinery. Mr. Murdoch, inspector of machinery afloat, with Mr. Miller, of the steam factory, superintended the trial. The following are the results :—Ship's draught of water aft, 20 ft. 3 in. ; forward, 18 ft. 7 in. ; common screw, with a diameter and pitch each of 15 ft. 6 in. ; force of wind, 2 ; direction, S.S.E. ; revolutions of engines, maximum, 67.0, minimum, 64 8. Four runs were made at the measured mile, the ship averaging a speed of nine knots. At the conclusion of the trial she steamed into the harbour and berthed in her old position. The Arrogant is quite ready for sea, but is detained to convoy out the Mmander storeship to Ascension, which vessel is not yet com plete for sea. The Sphinx, 6, paddle. Corn. Day, V.C., proceeded out of harbour to the trial ground in Stokes' Bay yesterday afternoon to test her speed, machinery, &c. The Flamer gunboat, Lieut. H. Bingham, and the Grasshopper gunboat, Lieut. J. C. Tucker, were both undocked yesterday from No. 8 dock, at Ports mouth, and placed in the steam basin to commence their outfit. The Odin, 16, paddle, Capt. Lord J. Hay, C. 8., has completed taking in her guns, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, and is now taking on board her shot, coaling, &c. The Locust, 3, paddle, Com. J. B. Field, sailed trom PortsrnoutJ for the western ports on Monday. The Beagle, 4, screw, Com. E. Hay, is completing for sea in the steam basin at Portsmouth. She is nearly complete in her crew, and the majority of them are strapping young man-of-war's men. Vo lunteers have come form and eagerly at this port for entry in the various craft fitting out for the China expedition. The Pearl, 20, screw, Capt. J. Borlase, C. 8., was officially inspected, and her crew paid advance of wages at Spithead on Monday. She left that an chorage yesterday afternoon for the China station, and at 6 p.m. passed Bembridge Ledge on her way down Channel. His Imperial Atajesty's corvette Bahiana, Capt. Dheudain, from Portsmouth, arrived in Plymouth on Monday afternoon. She will remain six days to give her naval cadets an opportunity of inspecting the arsenals in Devouport, &c. On returning to the Brazils the Bahiana will call at Brest and Madeira. The James Watt, 91, screw, Capt. E. Codd, left Plymouth on Monday for the Mediterranean. The gunboat Hind left Plymouth on Monday, with stores for the Russell, 60, at Falmouth. ILM.S. Donegal left the Mersey yesterday at 3 p.m. for Devonport. As she was getting under way a man fell from the bowsprit end, but we have not heard whether he was rescued. The ship ap peared in beautiful trim, and steamed very fast against a strong flood tide. During her stay in Liverpool the Donegal was visited by many thou sands of persons. Agents of the French, Austrian, and Sardinian Governments have been soliciting tenders from some of our leading ironfounders for very large numbers of rifled cannon. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Eugene C. Batty, to the Eagle, for service in the Violet ; E. H. Sey mour, mate, to the Imperieuse ; J. G. F. Leacock, mate, to the Encounter ; and A. D. Douglas, mid shipman, to the Centaur. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief has appointed a Commission to consider and report on the nature of the stores, &c., and the proportion thereof, which should be transmitted to China for service of her Majesty's troops, about to serve in that country. The Commission comprises the following distinguished and able officers—viz., the Quartermaster-General, Major-General Sir R. Airey, K.C.8., Commanderof the Legion of Honour, Commander First Class of the Military Order of Savoy, and Second Class of the Medjidie, who served most successfully throughout the Eastern campaign of 1854-55. The Military Inspector of Army Cloth ing, Col. C. B. Daubeney, C. 8., Knight of the Legion of Honour, and Fourth Class of the Medjidie, who served with th e 55 t h R eg i men t i n th e Coorg campaign, East Indies, in 1834, and was present at the assault and capture of the stockade of Kissen hully, and at the attack on the stockade of Soam warpettah. He also served during the Chinese war of 1841-42; commanded the Light Company at the repulse of the enemy's night attack at Chinhae, and at the storm and capture of Chapoo • served on the staff as Majo r o f B riga d e to Si r J. gehoedde, at Woosung, Shanghai, and Chinkiangfoo ; and ulti mately in the Eastern campaign of 1854, being pre sent at the battles of Alma and Inkermann, the siege of Sebastopol, and the repulse of the sortie of 26th October. The Director-General of the Army Medical Department, Dr. T. Alexander, C. 8., who served with the 60th Rifles in the Kaffir war of 1851-53, and was principal medical officer of the expedition across the Kei in 1851 ; proceeded with the first troops of the Eastern army to Gallipoli, and was present throughout the campaign of 1854- 55, as also at the affair of Bulganac, battles of Alma and Inkermann, capture of Balakltva, siege and fall of Sebastopol, sortie on the 26th of October, assaults of the Redan on the 18th of June and Bth of September, and was principal medical officer of the Kerteh Expedition, for all of which ser vices he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour. Commissary- General- in - Chief John William Smith, .8., who is a Knight of the Legion of Honour, and a distinguished public offi cer. The Commission held its first sitting, on the 29th ult., at the Horse Guards, in pursuance of in structions received to that effect ; but as yet nothing definite has been decided on, in consequence of the absence from town of Mr. Sidney Herbert, her Ma jesty's Secretary of State for War. In accordance with orders received at the head quarters of the Royal Engineers, Chatham, from the Horse Guards, a number of Royal Sappers and Miners have been selected to proceed to Hongkong, for the purpose of reinforcing the companies of Royal Engineers now serving in China, the Bth and 10th companies having been very much reduced by deaths and other casualties.

It is stated that Jones, the engine driver, had only been a few weeks in the service of the South. Coast Company, having come to them from the Ox ford and 'Wolverhampton line. Oliver had also not been long in their employ; but was an extremely careful and steady man, and attentive to his duties. He is well know,n in Brighton, where he . has brothers, who are builders, and who, it is. said, were with the poor su ff erer in his final moments last night. The cause of the explosion_ -appears to be wholly unknown. Considerable pressure of steam must have existed. The explosion seems to have acted with a downward force, as shown by the top of the fire-box being driven down, and the fire bars and ash pan forced out. The appearance of the shingle at that spot. on the line where the explosion is sup posed to have taken place corroborates this suppo sition, as it is distinctly - blown away, while the hedge and bank at the side of the line exhibit like indications of the explosive power. That the force must have been terrific there are unfortunately but too many proofs, both on the persons and in the clothes of the unfortunate sufferers. The coat of the fireman was found during the night rent to tatters, little else than the collar and part of the sleeves remaining together. One of his waistcoat pockets had been blown away, and was found by Superintendent Jenner on the bank at some dis tance from where the sufferer first fell. In this was apocket book containing the name of " John. George Golightly," as also a memorandum, singu larly enough referring to some spot "140 yards from where the man was killed," doubtless in allu sion to some former railway accident. Numerous pieces of lion belonging to the engine were found at various distances from the site of the explosion. The firebox-door was picked up in an adjoining field, and it is Fapposed that it was this which shattered the limb of the fire man when blown off.. The funnel thiuiper was also lying some 50 yards off. The ash pan was extricated from under the truck containing hops, as above stated. The rails gave evident signs of the severe strain to which they had been subjected, be ing greatly bent and displaCed in the proximity of the spot at which the engine and tender whelmed over. There will doubtless be an official investigation into the cause and results of this calamitous acci dent. THE LATE CRUELTY IN ST, P4NCRAS WORKHOUSE. Yesterday afternoon a numerously attended meet ing of the:directors of the poor of St. Paucras was held at the Vestry-hall, Camden-town ; Mr. Church warden Cameron in the chair. The subject of the recent alleged ill-usage ofa female inmate, named Kate Sullivan, by the master, and for which the board passed a vete of censure upon him at its previous meeting, was again brought under consideration, in consequence of the receipt of the following letter from Mr. Winlo, the master, `endering his resignation : " St. Pancras Workhouse, Oct. 4, 1859. " To the Chairman and Board of Directors. " Gentlemen,--The censure passed on me at the last meeting of the board of directors I feel will impair my usefulness in the workhouse. When, in April last, the late board were pleased to award me a vote of thanks for the performance of my duties, in thanking them I took the opportunity of remarking that it would have been impossible to have carried out the reforms and improve ments in the house without their assistance and support. Feeling that support wanting, and having consid ere d th e matter fully, I feel it i s my duty to resign my appoint ment. I theref ore respect f u ll y b eg to give the board of directors notice of my resignation, as well as the matron's, in accordance with the terms of our engagement when our services were accepted, and I shall feel obliged by your laying the same before the vestry at their next meeting.— I am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " GEORGE WM. WINLO, Master." Mr. DOUGLAS moved that the resignation be re ceived, entered on the minutes, and forwarded to the vestry, which having been seconded, Mr. AUSTEN said he felt assured that this would be the effect of the strong vote of censure proposed by Mr. Turner, and carried by the board. It would have been less unmanly to at once have moved the master's dismissal than to have passed the motion censuring, and thus stabbing him in the back by a side wind. (Oh, oh.) There was no doubt that in consequence the present master's authority was en tirely gone, and he (Mr. Austen) for one felt that the master's resignation would be a loss to them. The house had been visited by lords, members of Parliament, and by bishops, who all bore testimony to the excellent management and cleanly appear ance of the establishment, and they had by a hasty vote, because the master had committed one error, lost the services of the man who had,mainly carried out these reforms. The CHAIRMAN looked upon this matter as a very painful one. Not only had the master testimonials from gentlemen, but even the inmates of the house, notwithstanding the discipline kept up, signed a testimonial to his general kindness and humanity. This step on the part of the master had not taken him by surprise, for he felt no honourable or spirited man could rest under the stigma cast upon Mr. Winlo. It must be remembered that the master had a most difficult duty to perform;and he had dis charged his duties in his (the chairman's) opinion generally most efficiently. Mr. TURNER was quite prepared to defend the position he had taken in this matter. If the master was so sensitive at the resolution admonishing him, he would have been equally so with the amendment, which, although it tried to bring the woman Sullivan under censure, equally condemned the master's conduct. As to the testimonials referred to, they were being got up by Mrs. Coster, the surgeon's wife, and Mrs. Clarke, and the in mates were told if they did not sign it they would remove some little privileges. Mr. DOUGLAS said it was also asserted that a member of that board (Mr. Stubbs) was taking one round. (Laughter, and "Oh, ob.") Mr. STUBBS indignantly denied this, and on the contrary said he voted against the master for his tyranny. He exercised a vast amount of intimida tion over the inmates. Mr. TURNER said as testimonials from inmates had been spoken of, he held in his hands letters bearing the signatures of inmates, expressing astonishment that the master could have made such a statement, that he found when he came there a rule existing that no person was permitted to go out on a Sunday who had not been there six months. They denied such statement. But in order to show the meanness and spite of the master, he (Mr. Turner) found, from the punishment-book, an entry on the day after he was admonished by the board : —" Kate O'Sullivan, for refusing to comply with the rules of the house, and using insolent and abusive language to the master, reprimanded." And the inmates stated in their letters that she had aeen sent to the strong room. This showed a spirit of meanness and vindictiveness on the part of the master quite undignified and improper. Mr. Churchwarden FURNISS strongly condemned the resolution of the board, and said it was calcu lated to subvert all discipline, and was an encou ragement to Miss Barnes a n d th e woman Sullivan to indulge in their blackguard conduct. Mr. FISHER justified his vote against the master, and said it was in compliance with his oath. Mr. COSTER, the surgeon, said he ordered the removal of Sullivan from the infant school, as she was violent and insulting. In answer to questions, he said he had seen her since with her children. He did not send her to the strong room. She might be sent there without his knowing it. Mr. SHEFFIELD also justified his vote for the pe they arreds oohnl resolution d t o b ( nL e t aw t u e a r gsh a ct s ae k rr, ,r t i h ae e nd d b u o ,n, a ao r n d hi m, t 0 00h b u , t he mas censure, and said f rom t h e tone some gentlemen and the tt m eo e rol e ksi t l ing, after the other business, separated. QUARTERS FOR MARRIED SOLDIERS.—Few of our visitors, says the Dover Express, will have wandered over the Western Heights without noticing a splendid pile of buildings skirting tho Citadel plain on its southern side and overlooking the road leading from the Citadel to Arch cliff Fort. These are the new quarters, designed for mar ried soldie rs an d th e i r f amilies, just erected by the eminent contractor Mr. W. Morton, and now undergoing the re maining interior fittings which will make them habit a bl e. To those taking an intrest in the social condition of the soldier these premises aro well worth a visit, displaying as they do very gratifying evidence of the greater care which the War Department is manifesting upon the vital subect of barrack accommodation. Ere c t e d i n t h e situation they are, no barracks in England could be healthier, speaking with reference to external influences, while, looking to the ' interior, nothinr , seems wanting to pro mo t e the comfort and convenience of their future occupants. In a few months these quarters will he inhabited, and will afford accommo dation, it is stated, for no less than 120 families.
