Nicolls' original paletot, that is to say, it avoids giving to the wearer an °tare appearance, so that professional men and all others can use it during morning and afternoon in or out 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 appcation of a peculiar and neatly stitched binding, the mode of erecting which is patented. Great exertions are being made to 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 necessary to in form the public that all Messrs. Nicolls' manufactures 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 price, and is of the best materials. In London, the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regent-street, and 22, CornhilL A NEW DEPARTMENT FOR YOUTH, Szo. IT J. and D.

IN - MOLLS' PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK is a combination of utility, elegance, 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 measures from 12 to 16 yards round the outer edge, falling in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical contrivance (such being a part 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 for each Cloak ; but with the Mecanique 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. Femaleattendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames a 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 a gift. H. J. and D.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It 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 he 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, &c., 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 of 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. m 0 THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

Just published, price ls., post free, in an Envelope, for 13 stamps, k.. ELF-PRESERVATION.—A Medical Treat ise 1 on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System, and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting, from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life with!n Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of everyvariety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. 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 indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of 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 function a l d e rangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. 20, Wcaorwiciki; Horne,lane,P i Paternoster-row, L s e t t e ce r- s ro te w r. , au l d 'u m bl a i y sli b e e d h b a y d J o . f Allen, Mann, 39, rnh Leicester square; ; Gordon, 146, Leadenhall-street ; or from the Author, who may be consulted daily, from 11 till 2, and from 6 till 8, at his residence, 37, Bedford-square, London.

There was evidently no hope for us, and many of us became quite resigned to our terrible fate. _ _ _ " About noon the smoke and heat had become so freat that we were driven from the top - gallant orecastle, on which 'we had continued to pour water, and indeed were unable to remain forward of the foremast ; the decks also became very hot, and we expected every moment to see the dames burst through the bows ; we were also in some dread of the foremast giving way, which would have precipitated our fate, as in its fall- it must have torn up part of the deck, through which the flames _would then have burst upon us. " The captain, purser, and myself, pitched over bottles containing papers detailing our position and gloomy prospects ; and I, having been wounded in the thighs by a fall during the night, and feeling the little chance I would have in a scramble for the boats, had bid good-bye to friends and. to all the world. " The captain, chief officer, purser, doctor, Mr. Warner, the other chi e f ca bi n passenger and my self, went into the saloon at two p.m. to eat some thing, for we were all becoming faint. We were eating what we believed to be our last meal, but we were calm, and even cheerful, Captain Johnstone asking to be excused for the manner in which he was breaking up the preserved salmon, which, with a few biscuits, were to form our din ner; and I for Appearing at-Inner in such a guise, being literally covered hands and face with tar. "At about 2.30 p.m., and when about to say Good bye,' in case of not meeting again before the final catastrophe, we were startled with the cry of A sail !' Ido not know how we all tumbled on deck, but we were there in an instant. How I looked to windward, and how faint and ill I felt when I at first failed to perceive anything but the ocean and a few black clouds just at the edge of the horizon ; how we all at last saw the sail, just like a distant gull—she was coming down upon us —close by the edge of the sun's rays on the sea ; how we all cheered, and wept, and prayed, and laughed, and clasped each others hands, and cheered again ; how great rough fellows hugged each other and wept like children ; how men, who had pro bably never prayed before, muttered sincere thanks givings ; and how those who had preserved the greatest indifference when death seemed so near were now completely overcome, I cannot describe. I shook hands with at least a hundred—many of them rough, illiterate men, but who had worked with a high courage in the hour of danger, and who were now as sincere in their feelings of thank fulness as the best of us. In less than half an hour from the time we first sighted her the vessel, which proved to be the Merchantman, of and from Lon don, with troops for Calcutta, passed close under our stern.. How we cheered her, and she returned our cheer as only British soldiers and sailors can cheer! " Our captain hailed through his trumpet, We are on fire, will you stand by us ?' to which Capt. Brown returned a hearty Aye, aye; and send my boats to assist you.' " Soon two of the Merchantman's boats and three of our own were launched ; but the sea still ran high, and we expected every moment to see some of them swamped, or dashed to pieces alongside ; but thanks to the ability and care of Mr. Funnell and Mr. Jones, the first and second officers of the Merchantman, and of our own officers in charge of the boats, they were conducted between the two vessels without a single accident. We first embarked the women and children, and by 1 p.m., we were all safely on board the Merchantman, our captain being the last to leave. " When we consider the heavy sea running, and the way in which both vessels rolled about, particu larly the Eastern City, from the absence of sufficient sail to steady her, we cannot but admire the arrange ments of Captains Johnstone and Brown ; and to have rescued. 227 souls from a disabled ship in such a sea, without a single accident, speaks for itself. _ _ " On board the Merchantman Captain Brown had provided everything he could devise for relieving our wants and conducing to our comfort ; and well was he seconded by Captain Dawson, commanding the troops. They had prepared hot tea and biscuit for 400 ; what a glorious draught I took when I touched the deck ; never in my life had I tasted anything half so good. The women and children were accommodated in the cuddy and officers' rooms and the crew and passengers mustered and told off to mess with the soldiers and sailors, without the slightest confusion. " The Merchantman stood by the burning vessel during the night, and at about 2 a.m. the flames burst forth over the topgallant forecastle ; soon after the foremast went over the side, and in half an hour the main and mizen masts went also, and soon after she was all one mass of flames. We could see her still burning until about 5 a.m., when the Merchantman having stood away for Table Bay the distance became too great for us to distinguish other than a dark cloud resting against the dim horizon, which was the last we saw of the gallant ship. " We in the first cabin saved a portion of our lug gage, but the whole of the other passengers and the majority of the crew lost everything; but we were all truly thankful for our preservation from a ter rible and inevitable death ; and we all feel that the finger of Providence was in it, for had. the Merchant man not been obliged to put into Rio de Janeiro, in consequence of the illness of her medical officer then in charge of the troops, she could not have been so far out of her course, and in a position to rescue us. " A singular circumstance was reported to us by those on board the Merchantman. It appears that while at dinner, and immediately before they per ceived us, the captain's lady andsome of the officers affirmed that they heard distinctly, and at regular intervals, the sound of distant artillery. As we had no heavy guns, and did not fire off even a pistol, I am unable to account for the sound, which may have been caused by some submarine volcanic phenomena, or there may have been another vessel in distress at a greater distance, and the report of her minute-guns may have been carried along by an eccentric current of air. " I, and I am sure every passenger on board, are anxious to bear testimony to the kind treatment we have received on board the Merchantman. Cap tain Brown went about among us like a father ; and Captain DaWson also did all he could for us personally, and by urging his men to share every thing with the passengers and crew; and well did these brave fellows obey his orders. " Mrs. Brown and Sirs. Dawson were very- at tentive to the women and children. Lieuts. J. It. Carlisle and J. B. Ruttledge ; Ensigns D. W. B. Ogilvy, P. W. Howley, and Smith; as also Gen tleman Cadet R. H. Inglis, H.E.1.C.5., and As sistant-Surgeon Forrest, R.N., nobly emulated each other in striving who could be kindest to us, and best minister to us in our all but destitute con dition. When we learnt that British officers were on board, we felt assured that by them we would be well treated with the sympathy to which in some measure our misfortunes entitled us ; but we were quite unprepared for the generous kindness, displayed in such a feeling and considerate manner which we have experienced during our voyage on board the Merchantman. " I cannot syeak too highly of Capt. Johnstone's conduct, and I am sure every one who was on board the unfortunate E as t ern City will agree with me. He did all for our safety and the safety of his ves sel that man could do, and by his calm courage animated us all ; while by the ability of his ar rangements everything was conducted in an the slightest and systematic manner at a tim e when slightest confusion must have been attended with the most disastrous consequences. "As the fire originated in the forehold, with which there was no communication from the fore castle and foresteerage, and as the forehatch had been battened down for four days, it must have bee n caused by spontaneous combustion, or the friction of badly stowed packages, during the previous day, when the vessel rolled so heavily in the high sea. I cannot close my communication without bear ing testimony to the calm behaviour of the female passengers. After the first half-hour they never complained, and it was only when the vessel took a more than usually heavy roll that some of the more timid uttered a few screams. Poor things, they were many of them resigned to their sad fate. The purser's wife, in particular, astonished me by her calmness throughout. " The vessel, cargo, and property belonging to the passengers cannot have been worth less than £90,000 to £lOO,OOO, but vessel and cargo are sup posed to have been insured." On the passengers landing at Table Bay, they presented letters to Capt. Dawson and Capt. Brown, expressing their gratitude to them for their noble conduct in rescuing them from a terrible death, and for their subsequent kind and. generous treatment. The Government emigration agent took charge of them, and the barque - Caroline Elizabeth had been chartered to take them on to Melbourne. A. subscription had been started at Cape Town to re lieve theu temporary wants. .. , THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER LONDON CRYSTAL PALACE.— Regeilt-circus, Oxford-itreet; and Great Portland; street.—This magnificent building- will be opened to the Public on WEDNESDAY, December Ist, 1858, for the sale of all kinds of - useful and fancy Articles.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The Scottish Australian Investment Company, through their Manager at Sydney, have long directed their attention to the acquisition of Lands known to be rich in Mineral Pro ductions. They are possessors of the various Properties men tioned in this Prospectus, upon some of which valuable de posits of Copper and Coal have already been proved to exist; but being a Company formed for the Investment of Capital and not to carry on Mining Operations, they are not in a posi tion to develop these Mineral Properties on their own account. It is therefore proposed that a new Company shall be formed, to be called, "The Scottish Australian Mining Company (Limited)," which shall purchase for,the:sum of Thirty Thou sand Pounds, to be paid partly in Money and partly in Shares, with certain Royalties, the said several Properties and work them, commencing at first on a moderate scale. The Com pany will also take powers to acquire by purchase or other wise such further Mineral Lands in the Australasian Colonies as shall be deemed desirable. The following are two of the principal Properties mentioned in the Prospectus : No. 1. The Good Hope Property.—This Freehold Property comprises about 400 acres of generally good, well-watered land. It is situate near the town of Yass. There exists upop this Estate a remarkable Copper Lode, of great width, and standing above the surface in a continuous line (with slight intermission) for more than a quarter of a mile, and in some places rising above the level of the ground to the height of twenty-five feet. The . lode is strong and large, and stands above the level of the River from forty-five to fifty-five fathoms. Captlin John Dalley, of St. Austell, in Cornwall, of great mining experience, has twice examined this Lode and taken out a ton or two of ore, samples of which, weighing from two to three cwts. each, are now in London. The ore is red oxide, mixed with native copper, and green and blue carbonates ; and specimens, broken promiscu ously from separate blocks now lying at the office of the Company, have been found to yield on assay the high per centage of 214, 274 27f, 274, 35, and 36 per cent. of pure copper : one sample which Mr. Morehead selected and directed to be assayed in the Colony yielded no less than 744 per cent. of pure copper. The ore is s milar in character to the ore at the Burra-Burra. It will be seen that the opinion of Captain Dailey, whose Report on this Property will be found in the Appendix, fully bears out the above statements. No. 6. Dartmouth.—This Freehold Property, consisting of 100 acres, Ispronounced by H. T. Plews, Esq., M.E., who -mate r•6oe4- - eumye of tiliv .auto liiver l led instruction of the '3lanager of the Scottish Australian Invest ment Company, " the best position attainable for commencing operations" in coal mining in New South Wales. It is situated about five miles and a half from Newcastle, and con tains, as may be learnt from Mr. Plews' Report, which is ap pended, a seam of coal, lying nearly in a horizontal position, of superior quality, and six feet in thickness at the outcrop near the foot of a hill, whence of course it can be worked without the expense of shafts, and the usual accompanying machinery. A portion of this property consists of fertile land, on which a considerable sum has been expended in bringing it into a state of cultivation and erecting a house. The property had been long under the notice of the Ma nager of the Scottish Australian Investment Company, as a most desirable site on which to establish a Colliery ; but he did not succeed in acquiring it until June last ; and the purchase having been then made in contemplation of the immediate formation of the present Company, this valuable estate is now made over at the price at which it was pur chased, with the mere addition of a small commission and expenses. Applications for Shares must be made in the annexed form. Each applicant will be required to pay in to one of the Bankers of the Company Five Shillings per share on the num ber of Shares applied for, in part payment of the deposit of Ten Shillings per Share;` in exchange for which a receipt will be given. In the event of the Directors allotting less than the whole number applied for, the amount paid in to the Bankers will be applied towards the deposit of Ten Shillings per Share payable on the number allotted ; but in case no allotment be made, the money so lodged will be forthwith returned in full. Prospectuses, Mining Reports, Forms of Applications for Shares and of Bankers' Receipts for Deposits, may be had of Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, stockbrokers, 2, Royal Ex change -buildings; at the City Bank; or the Offices of the Company, 24, Gresham-street, London, where plans of the property, a section of the Good Hope lode, and ore from that property, may be seen and examined.

The public,should be watchful of the effects which they frequently have on the body. The"skin and the nervous system suffer severely, erysipelas, blotches, boils, rheumatism, colds, sore throats, and the many other complaints of this nature, being fre quently generated through the above cause. When symp toms of the above diseases show themselves they should be promptly attended to. Holloway's Ointment and Pills are wonderful remedies, and eradicate the above attacks imme diately they show themselves. The ointment should be rubbed into the parts affected, and the pills taken according to the Printeddirections. CITY OF MA.NCHESTER. - - --- Owing to the death of.

EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION OF TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY SOULS. The thrilling details of the total destruction by fire of the Eastern City, one of the Black Ball line of the Australian passenger ships running from Liverpool, were received at Lloyd's yesterday, and created considerable interest. The Eastern City was a fine ship of 1,368 tons, and the property of Messrs. Baines and Co., the well-known shipowners of Liverpool. She was commanded by Capt. Johnstone, and on the 10th of July she left the Mersey for Melbourne, having on board 180 passengers, 47 men, officers, and crew, and upwards of 1,600 tons of general cargo. The ship made a successful run to the Equator, and all went well for a rapid voyage, when on tie after noon of the 23d August it was discovered that a fire had broken out in the forehold. Every effort failed in extinguishing it, and preparations were made for provisioning and launching the boats. The sea, however, was _very high, and had the pas. sengers been driven to put off in the boats there is little doubt that theirs would have been a terrible fate. But while the prospects of the distressed men and women were most gloomy, and they had indeed almost despaired of safety, a sail came in sight. The transport ship Merchantman, Capt. G. F. Brown, of and from London, with troops for Calcutta, observed the signals of the burning ship, and at once bore down to her aid. With the ex ception of one man, M'Lean, a steerage passenger, the whole of the passengers and crew of the Eastern City were taken off, and in about four or five hours after they had, left the entire ship was in one mass of fire; the masts wentoverboard, and she was a blazing wreck. The unfortunate man who perished was a native of Skye ; he had been ill for some days, and was below in his berth when the fire was first discovered, and he is supposed to have been suffocated. Mr. J. Fowler, a cabin passenger on board the Eastern City, has furnished the following narrative of the conflagration : " We sailed from Liverpool for Melbourne on the 10th of July, having on board upwards of 1,600 tons general cargo, 180 passengers, and 47 officers and crew; in all 227 souls. Notwithstanding a long continuance of contrary and baffling winds we made a very successful passage to the Equator, which we passed on the 11th of August; and we expected to arrive at Melbourne in 70 to 75 days from Liverpool, for our vessel was a swift one and in capital sailing trim. " On the 21st of August the wind blew strong from the north-east to the north-west. On the 22d it increased to half a gale, with a heavy sea, the vessel rolling about a good deal, and frequently going from 12 to 14 knots an hour. " On the 23d the wind veered round to the south west, but the sea still continued high ; and at about two p.m. the same day an alarm of fire was raised, and smoke was seen issuing from the forehatch. " Captain Johnstone, the chief officer, and several of the crew and passengers, endeavoured to reach the seat of the fire, which was supposed to be in the forehold, among the cargo; but in a few minutes the smoke became so dense and suffocating that we were driven up the hatchway. " The passengers and crew were ordered on deck, and we then believed they had all obeyed the order; but it was afterwards discovered that one of the steerage passengers, named Peter M'Lean, belong ing to the Isle of Skye, was missing, and he is sup posed to have been suffocated in his berth. " The forehatch was then closed, with the excep tion of holes about two feet square; one on each side of the hatch, through which passengers and crew proceeded to throw vast quantities of water from the engine pump, and by drawing over the side from the sea. For some time the smoke did not appear to increase, and we confidently expected to be able to extinguish the fire, but after half an hour it was evident we were making no progress, and it was apparent our only chance was to endeavour to smother it. For this purpose the hatch was covered with blankets, shawls, plaids, and everything woollen we could lay hands on, and the forecastle and forward parts of the vessel with old sails. " Meanwhile the captain had hauled up the courses, and put the vessel before the wind, and had got the boats provisioned, and ready to loWer away at a moment's notice. " The women and children, about 60 in number, were removed to the poop, where the captain had placed numbers of old sails, carpets, &c., and did everything he could to make them as comfortable as possible under such terrible circumstances. " All that long and dreadful night both passen gers and crew continued to work without intermis sion, pouring tons of water down the hatches and forepart of the vessel ; holes were also cut in the deck, and engine-pumps and buckets went to work, pouring down water into the hold, the captain cheering us all the while, and never leaving the deck even for a moment. I could not but admire his calm courage, surrounded as he was on the poop with so many weeping women and children, whom he never ceased to comfort by the assurance that they would soon be all safe in the boats. " The majority of the passengers were fora long time ignorant of the full extent of thei▪ r real danger; but the more intelligent of us knew that we were more than 600 miles from the nearest land, that our boats could not carry more than half of us, and that the sea was so high th at no boat could be launched in safety, or if got clear of uot.st the • must necessarily could not long live, deeply laden as necessarily be ; our only chance was of be r ing picked out l o up by some vessel—but we were now route of all vessels, and we felt that o fa des truc f t t i he destruction Still was simply a question of hours. we worked without flinching ; but towards finding its way into the evident that ere long our efforts orning it be lvouldbein vain, for, from the smoke now e t h th e fifirste was and working second i cabins, ts w becamei a t y apparent eca t r h g a o t Of the in the afierhold.

About noon the foreyard came down by the run, but fortunately without injuring any one. M any of the passengers and crew were now falling out from the engine and pumps, completely knocked up with the heat, smoke, and incessant work. -time how "During our short spells of breathing ~• - - - -_-~, , SPAPER f.c4 FRANCE AND PORTUGALk o r a S (From the Times.) At the great break-up of 1814 there was a Ng siderable number of persons in France, well edu cated and of good social position, who knew literally nothing of the events of the last twelve years. Fed upon the glorious food of Napoleon's bulletins, with such comment as might be afforded by the laboured panegyrics of the Senate and the judicious reticences and amplifications of the Moniteur, they had been led on from victory to victory, from triumpli to triumph, from glory to glory, till at last the dream was only dispelled by the arrival of the Cossacks and the abdication of the Emperor. Many had never heard of the battle of Trafalgar, knew Eylau and Aspern only as complete victories, and would, in fact, have been not a little embarrassed to give even the most meagre account to their children of the history of the great empire of which they were citizens during the perisd of its rise, its glory, and its fall. It i s a l ways easier to decide after hearing one side than both, and we suppose it is out of compassion to this well-known weakness that the Moniteur carefully withdraws from the considera tion of its readers whatever might be urged in op position to the view which by order sublime it is directed to advocate. We have now before us the version which it has pleased the French Government to give of its recent transactions with Portugal, and it has occurred to us to ask what possible object can be served by such a manifesto as is there put forth. We can quite understand the policy of an absolute Govern ment, which, as it does many things by force which it does not like to avow, withholds the knowledge of them from its people altogether, but we confess that we cannot understand the sort of half-confidences to which the Moni teur treats its readers, neither showing the whole case nor concealing it, but making, state ments so evidently onesided as to furnish the strongest inference against itself as to the bearing of those facts w r:,:x if dare to produce. We really thinl- ;,4 -- " - 7 person could read the garl?led ;lit which the Moniteur has put forward -on this subject Without" coming to conclusions most adverse to the French Government, and that less candour or a little more would have better answered the purpose of vindi cation. We are told that the demands of the French Government have met with full satisfaction, and that the French Government did not make them until it had fully satisfied itself that it was right. This is the argument from authority. The French Government has a quarrel with Portugal; the French Government believes itself to be right ; therefore, the French Government is right. Rex sum. Nil ultra qucero plebeius. But, like Atrides, the French Government is not context with its own authority, but must make " a simple statement" of facts to establish its claims—a simple statement of facts so very simple that it only tells its own side, suppressing all that makes against it—a simple statement of facts which is by no means equiva lent to truth. The French Government will not allow the matter to be decided in the first instance by the Portuguese courts, it will not submit to the arbitration of a neutral Power, to be named by itself, but in the Moniteur it thinks it can make a case, and this is the way it sets about it :—First, the French vessel was seized, according to the testi mony of the captain and the investigation of the Minister of Marine, beyond the limits of Portu guese jurisdiction. The captain was condemned to the galleys for two years,which mayperhaps slightly influence his testimony. What the investigation of the Minister of Marine was we are not informed, and we may conjecture, with some plausibility, that the investigation was held on the captain's testi mony; at any rate, it appears that the Portuguese officers distinctly asserted the contrary. This the French Government held to be conclusive on the question of jurisdiction. A deeply tainted witness on bne side, a pure one on the other, and a decision ha favour of the tainted witness— what can be clearer ? But surely there is something more in this than a question of fact. The point of jurisdiction could only arise on the supposition that the vessel was a slaver; and, if a slaver, surely not entitled to the benefit of any jurisdiction whatever. We had imagined that a slaver was like a pirate —fair prize whenever she could be caught, and it certainly does not increase our respect for the French Government in this transaction to find her whole moral and material force embarked in support of the position that slavers ought to enjoy impunity if they can only pigs the limit of three miles from the shore. Surely, after this, it will be impossible for the French Government to maintain that it is one of those Powers to whom the world may look for any effort, however feeble, towards the suppression of the slave trade. Waiving, however, this argument, of which the Mon iteur, to do it justice, does seem to be a little ashamed, it proceeds to its old ground—that the papers of the vessel were regular, that a French delegate was on board, and yet that the Court at Mozambique, with incomprehensible blindness, took no account of these conclusive presumptions, " nor of any other circumstance," which ought to have left no doubt as to the fair character of the ship and the honesty of the captain. What " any other circumstance" was we do not know, but the facts which the Moniteur does venture to state, though they account for the presence of negroes on board the ship, cannot, we apprehend, be allowed to ex clude proof of one other circumstance—namely, that a portion of those negroes were brought on board by visible force and against their will—were, in fact, not recruits, as the Moniteur calls them, but conscripts. This fact that 13 negroes were brought on board with their arms tied behind their backs was proved by the French delegate himself. The Moniteur has the disingenuousness to suppress it, and then to state that it is incon ceivable how the Portuguese authorities could have acted in a manner contrary to their duty. The hopes of the Moniteur were, that the Portuguese would have eagerly admitted the irregularity of the proceeding. Those hopes were, it seems, at first deceived, but the Portuguese Govern ment, after a more careful examination, was brought to a more exact appreciation, and sub:- mitted to the just representations of the Govern ment of the Emperor. If words have meaning this phrase is intended to convey the notion that the Portuguese Government submitted from a con sciousness that it was in error, whereas' we know that it protested solemnly that it yielded only to force. This last touch gives the transaction its completeness. A French vessel violates the laws of God and man by kidnapping negroes, it is con demned accordingly, its own Government rescues it by force from the independent nation against whose laws it had offended, publishes an official narrative of the facts in which all notice of the ground of conviction is carefully suppressed, and then tells the world that the return of the vessel was not extorted by menaces, but was the result of a more careful investigation and exact appreciation of the facts. So much for the French side of this matter. Is it, can it be true, that the Government of England, which is now expending half a-million a-year in the suppression of th e Sl ave T ra d e , w hich has for fifty years unceasingly laboured by the pen and the sword to put down this traffic, has actually in this instance not only done nothing to protect its old and faithful ally in the noble stand which ha s been made against the oppression of Fiance, but that those measures of oppression and coercion were actually planned in unison with the En g lish Government ; nay, more, that that Government lent its full countenance to France from first to last ? Such statements emanate undoubtedly from the French Foreign-office, but we sincerely trust that they are devoid of all other foundation than that which is unfortunately too notorious—that, after urging Portugal on in her course of opposition to the slave trade, we have tamely deserted he r i n the hour of her need. It is hiuniliating enough to know this ; but we will not lightly believe, even on the authority of the French Foreign-office, that any Government of English gentlemen could be found to add to the desertion of an ally under such cir- - eumstances the inexpressible servility and meanness which would be implied in such an union of the strong against the weak to beat down the right and secure triumph and impunity to the wrong. DEATH OF A TRAFALGAR HERO.—We announce with deep regret the death of that gallant and distinguished officer, Captain Robertson Walker, R.N., which took place at his seat of Gilgarran, near Whitehaven, on the 25th ult. He entered the navy on the 6th April, 1801, and was ap pointed midshipman on board the Princess Charlotte. He fought on board the Victory, as forecastle mate, in the battle of Trafalgar, and served with the most distinguished cou rage during the whole of the war. In 1814 he was engaged in the American war upon the Lakes, where he defended the Confiance against a vastly superior force, and did not yield until all his crew were either killed or wounded. On the 20th August, 1815, he at last obtained his captaincy; but all his efforts to procure further employment were un t wailing, although his gallantry had been recorded in the despatches on many occasions.—Naval ond.ilfaitary Herald. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY ON A POSTMAN. —A des perate attempt at highway robbery was made on a postman, in Hampshire, on Thursday night. The Hamble post-letter carrier, in going from Hamble to Woolstone, has to pass a very solitary place between the seat of the Earl of Hard wicke and the military hospital building at Netley. About half-past six o'clock on the evening in question the post man was passing the spot referred to, which is in a hollow, and overhung with trees, having his bag of letters slung to his back with leathern straps, when a fellow suddenly sprung upon him and cut one of the straps. The postman, although much frightened, immediately faced about, and had the presence of mind to threaten to shoot his as sailant, at the same time thrusting his hand into his pocket as if to draw out a pistol. The would-be robber on this quickly made off through trees, and was not seen after wards. The large number of navvies working at the Net ley Hospital makes it dangerous toiwalk in the neighbour hood after Aightfall. 3-yr -ards. ib) I m) 2 71b in) 3 Alter Lgths was ; for mile. n) 1 ls) 2 Le) 3 agst igth; ards. is) 1 ;e) 2 n) 3 .s ter, Won Ards. 1 .
