Yesterday the morning service was attended by a out 1,000 persons, and there was the usual de monstrations of disapprobation on the part of the congregation. They "said" the responses in a loud f voice, as on previous occasions. The Rev. Bryant_ King, tie rector of the parish, read the lessons j from the reading-desk. The service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Lowder, who afterwards preached.' the sermon, at the commencement of which a num- ( - ber of persons rose and left the church, delaying the opening of the discourse for several minutes. This is a " new feature," peculiar to the last • two Or three Sundays. Mr. Lowder abstained from turning :to the cast, 'both at the berrinning• and the conclusion of his sermon, and thtts t the people were deprived of one of the liniding centives to that coughing and hissing by• means of which they e - yince their disapproval of the practices of the priests. The congregation dispersed quietly, and there was no case vrhioh led to the intervention' of the police. __ In the afternoon there was the usual crowd at the Litany service, and, for want of the same precau: tions as were adopted last Sunday afternoon, to make the people take their seats in the pews, there was much greater confusion, and altogether the service passed off less satisfactorily. There Was also much more coughing than last Sunday afternoon. The service was conducted by the Rev. C. F. Low der, assisted by the rector, and the reverend gentle men were well hissed at the conclusion of a service throughout the whole of which they had been vio lently and incessantly coughed at. The moment the service was ended a Very large crowd rushed off to Oravelllane, the scene of the late exploit with the police, and got across the bridge be fore they could be stopped. Here they waited with a patience worthy of a better cause. But they were doomed to disappointment, for the Rev. Mr. Low der, for. whom they were waiting, declined the honour of attentions more demonstrative than flat tering, and availing himself of a tolerably accurate acquaintance with the thoroughfares in the neigh bourhood, he made a detour, by means of which he reached his destination without coming into contact with the gaping angry crowd. 'lt has been thepractice of the parishioners to take lossession of the Choristers' stall; before the service began, and then to refuse to give them up whenthe procession entered. To avoid this annoyance the friends of the rector have been admitted, on several recent occasions, through the rectory, and placed in these seats before the doors of the church were opened to the public. When the priests and choristers entered in procession, the stalls were vacated by these parties—mostly strangers, by the way, for a sufficient number of parishioners favourable to the rector could not be found for that purpose—and the choristers then occupied them in due form. But at last, the parishioners also gained early access to the dese crated edifice, and thus discomfited the Puseyite party by occupying the disputed benches. But the rector, with his usual ingenuity, has found the means apparently of putting a stop to this for the future, by allowing no one access to the church till he has filled these seats with his friends. The fol lowing letters—hardly in the tone, perhaps, to be expected of a clergyman of the Church of England returning to his church after a protracted indispo sition—will sufficiently explain the plailiproposed : TIIE E.EcTort TO TILE SEXTON.

On Saturday a special court of petty sessions for the county of Surrey, was held at the National School-room, St. George's Camberwell, for the pur pose of disposing of about 500 summonses for non payment of church-rates, taken out by the church wardens of the district parish of St. George's, Cam berwell. The presiding magistrates were Mr. R. A. Gray and Mr. Roberts, who were assisted by Mr. Stephens, the vestry clerk. _ . _ The first case called on was that of Mr. George Roberts, of Sussex-place, Old Kent road, who objected that the court had no jurisdic tion, inasmuch as that the act of Parliament re quired that the summonses should be served within six months of the making of the rate, while in the present instance a longer interval had elapsed, the rate having been made on the ISth April last, and the summonses having been issued only a few days since. After a brief consultation. Mr. Gray said—Your objection is fatal, .Mr. Roberts. We must dismiss the summons. Mr. Roberts—Then I must ask you to grant me my expenses. Mr. Gray—That is very unusual in such a case, and I do not think it should be done, since there is clearly nothing frivolous or vexatious in the summons, Mr. Roberts—Not originally , perhaps, but I served notice upon the churchwardens two days ago that I objected upon this ground, and they had ample opportunity, therefore, to withdraw the summons. I only ask it as a matter of principle, and I think I am clearly entitled to ss. for my time and trouble. Mr. Gray—Well, we will consider the matter. (After consulting.) As you served notice of objec tion upon the churchwardens we think you are entitled to your expenses, and we order payment accordingly. Mr. Jessie, one of the churchwardens, imme diately, and with great good humour, paid the 5w., and the other cases were called on. A gentleman present, however, upon the part of the defendants generally, suggested that as the decision on the first case practically ruled all the summonses to be illegal, the court should formally dismiss them on the aggregate, so as to spare all further trouble, but the court said they thought it better to dispose of each case on its own merits. It was replied to this that as all the summonses were dated simultaneously they thought their merits were the same ; but the court persisted in taking the uses separately. Mr. Box (a vestryman) objected to the validity of the rate, because the last rate had never been properly collected, and was prepared with other objections. The court, however, said the first objection was sufficient to oust their jurisdiction, and the sum mons was abandoned. The next defendant objected to the validity of the rate generally, upon the ground that it included illegal charges. - This objection also was held to oust the magis terial jurisdiction, and the summons was dismissed. Other summonses met the same fate. So that practically the rate is defeated, as was done last year in the same way. THE STEAM-BOAT PIER AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE. --The repairs at Blackfriars steam-boat pier, undertaken by the Court of Conservancy of the River Thames, are in tended to be of the most stable character. The whole of the woodwork that has been exposed alternately wet and dry, having been found more or less damrged, is removed, and oak planking will be substituted where practicable, and workmen are engaged driving additional piles, for prevent ing the oscillation, as far as possible, of the floating dummy, which is undergoing a thorough repair. The moveable stage and lower platform are being newly planked, and the tide guage pipes are more firmly secured. The works will be thoroughly tested by competent persons before the pier is reopened, which is expected to take place early in January ; in the interim passengers will land at the pier and embark at Paul's-wharf.

The List for Donations and Life Memberships is still open. thought not. They know little of that mysterious impenetrable being, who always made up his mind before he acted, and then, tiger-like, sprang upon and made sure of his prey. They was a say ing that when a tiger had onco tasted of human blood he would not descend to meaner food. It might be that the Emperor, having tasted of power, would not be satisfied with anything less than an increase of that power. Were he contented him ' self, he might not be able to control his army, espe cially now, when that army had been flushed with victory in the Crimea and in Italy, and anxious to avenge injuries neither forgiven nor forgotten. Their duty now was to trust to no man. (Cheers.) Their duty was to arni . to the teeth; not to be ex travagant with their navy in the way they had been, but to spare no expense- in .making it effi cient. They should also do that which the noble lord. had recommended them to do, vie., to join the volunteer corps, so that they might show front t o the French and avoid invasion. How was it they were so unprepared, and that .the French had crept up as they had by their side ? It . was owing to that miserable party feeling. (A V o i ce —F ree dis cussion.) He knew it was free discussion, and ex pected to be hit hard if he deserved it. Their present condition was owing to the fact that they had pandered to the peace party—peace at any price ; and the Conservatives had done the same thing, thrown themselves into the arms of the peace party, and now they find they had trusted to a broken reed, and had become pierced and deserted. As to the meeting next year, Lord Derby had stated at Liverpool that he intended to be magnanimous. He (Mr. Kendall) hoped he might be, as the ministry would have enough to •do ; and that he believed Lord Derby to be more magnanimous than Lord Palmerston. Lord Derby could afford to be mag nanimous, for though he was pressed on by a hungry party, still they-were not halfso hungry as those that were pressing on the noble member for Tiverton. (Laughter and cheers.) The hon. member then pro ceeded to say that there were two measures of im portance likely to come forward next session, if foreign matters were not too pressing —the Church Rates and the Reform Bill. The Church rate bill of Sir J. Trelawny the speaker characterised as a "robbery," but, notwithstanding, he much prefer red that to the bill proposed by Mr. Walpole. The latter would only have caused disruption in the church, and he would rather have a robbery per petrated than have the peace of the church broken by ill-feeling between the members thereof. He highly eulogised the conduct of Sir J. Trelawny, but 'expressed a hope that they should make out a stronger case for continuing church rates than they did last session. As to the Reform Bill they must wait to see what it was, but he thought Lord S. Russell ought not to have opposed the second reading of Lord Derby's bill. Having enlarged on this point, the - speaker said he must now touch on local matters. He had had the honour of pre sentiug various petitions from the ratepayers of the county praying that they may have a voice in the county expenditure, and he had been asked to sup part the prayer of the petition. The speaker ob jected to an undue proportion of any class in the management of this matter, and proceeded at length to defend the county expenditure, contending that it. was impossible a greater check could be exer cised upon it than was done at present. As to the County Asylum, of which he had been chairman for 20 years, a strict vi.ilance was also exercised over its expenditure, and he could not prove to them that they were more economical in this respect than they were in any other county, then he would not be chairman next year ; and having repelled some attacks which had been made upon him in reference to the management of the asylum and county gaol, he said he should be happy to answer any question that might be proposed to him. In reply to a question as to what 'position the rating . of mining duos now occupied, Mr. KENDALL said that in consequence of the ' death of Mr. M. Willyams, and the pressing busi, !less which had come before Parliament, the matter had been delayed, but as soon as he saw a fair chance of success he should urge the measure on. Mr. W. SNELL, a yeoman, adverting to the re marks of Col. Coryton and Lord Valletort, as to the volunteer corps, said that he had heard many theo ries broached for the purpose of accounting for the apathy of the yeomanry on the " volunteer" ques tion, and the one most generally received was that they lived in remote districts, and their ideas did not flow quite as fast as those of persons in towns ; that they were dull, and had, a certain thickness of skull. (Laughter.) His theory, however, was, that being engaged in a more healthful occupation than those in towns, they had strong nerves, and their nerves had not been acted upon as those of towns people. (Cheers) He did not think there was occasion for half the panic which had taken 'dace. He believed the people had been misled by the same party of the Manchester school who misled them in reference to the Corn-laws; that was the reason— and he had been pleased to see it—why such a panic had ensued, and the agriculturists had been. uninfluenced thereby. He thought if they did jus tice to the agricultural interest they need not fear, but that the yeomanry of the country would do their duty. He also advocated the proper payment of the soldier. The speaker proceeded further to dilate on the state of military affairs and the readiness of the yeomanry to do their duty. in most instances is likely, to attain speedily to a rata of dividend considerably exceeding the" mini mum interest guaranteed by the Government of India. When this occurs the shareholders in tho several Indian undertakings will have every reason to congratulate themsklves upon having become connected With works which are already bringing about a vast improvement in our Eastern Empire." LORD VALLETORT, 111. P., AND MR. KENDALL, M.P., ON GENERAL POLITICS. At the Callington agricultural meeting on Thurs day, under the chairmanship of E. Collins, Esq., in responding to the toast, " The Health of the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe, the Patron of the Society." The Viscount VALLETORT said, although his father was confined to his bed by severe illness, he took a deep interest in all that tended to the interest of the neighbourhood and the country ; in proof of which he would refer to a letter to which reference had been made, in which his father called upon everyone to consider whether it was not their boun den duty in that neighbourhood to take part in the formation of a volunteer corps. Some time ago there was an idea that peace would never again be broken among the civilised nations of Europe, that if a dis turbance did break out it would be amongst bar barous tribes; that idea had at once dispelled by what had taken place in Italy, though he hoped in the end that outbreak might work for the benefit of that country; it, however, proved that the idea that European peace was never to be again broken was utterly fallacious. The Emperor of France had stated his intentions towards England to be peace able. If such was the. case, forming those corps would be the way to maintain peace ; but if his intentions should not be peaceable, and the energy with which they Were building transports in all the French ports to an extent never before known did not give them altogether an assurance of peace. then they ought to be prepared for every emer gency. According to the best opinions of those eminently qualified to judge, this country was open to attack at many points, and no place, perhaps was more assailable than Plymouth. France had the power, and many Frenchmen had the will to assail them if the Emperor led them on, and ought England to be so unprepared as to be at the will of one despotic man ? They ought to make invasion impracticable by putting the country into a proper state of defence, and how could they do that better than by forming volunteer corps. (Cheers.) It had been proposed in the Southern Division of East Cornwall to have an artillery corps of 100 men, but he was in London at the time, and from some cause or other the project failed, Probably people had not made up their minds on the matter; but volunteer corps have been formed from Scot land to the Land's End, and they could not do better than follow the example. Some might pre fer artillery, but if they could not obtain that they should certainly have rifle corps. Perhaps some parties were slow in coming forward, as they would have to go a considerable distance to drill, but that difficulty might be overcome by increasing the number of drill sergeants. Another reason was that it could not be expected in many cases that parties could provide their own equipments, but he thought they might soon get funds to purchase equipments for those who could not provide them for themselves. Government had already given half the rifles, and would probably, as soon as they had them give the remainder. Other parties thought that when the emergency arose then they would rise and meet it ; but that was an absurdity, for it was useless for any man to think of practising as a soldier who had not been properly trained thereto. By being thus prepared they would prevent all those miseries and disastrous events which always resulted from war. They might say if they raised a corps of 100 men that that would not be much for the safety of the country ; but if every locality said the same what would become of the country if inva sion should take place ? He thought, moreover, this matter involved the honour and credit of the agri culturists themselves. Every other class almost had outstripped the agriculturists of that neigbourhood in this respect. He somewhat regretted the circum stances, as heretofore the yeomanry had been the chief strength of the county, and whose power had proved irresistible in time of danger. In replying to the " Health of the County Members," N. KENDALL, Esq., thanked the meeting on behalf of Mr. Roberts and himself for the honour which had been done them. The last speaker said that they always knew where to find their representa tives. That might be very true, but as regarded politics he found it,hard to say, where he bad been for the last five or six months. Free discussion was the order of the day in that place, and therefore it was that he rejoiced to be among them. At a recent meeting in another locality he had been called to order for touching so closely on politics : on that occasion he wished himself at Callington. (Cheers.) He was at Callington today, and he should do what he always had done—give his opinion on the pre sent state of politics in the House of Commons. As he had long since felt that he belonged to no party, he had the less difficulty in being perfectly unre served in the matter. They must not, however, think by that that he was not in heart as at first—a strong Conservative ; but, as he understood, there were now no Conservative leaders. Sir Robert Peel built up a strong and admirable Conservative party with the greatest possible care, but he destroyed that party, and now confidence in party had been lost. There had been time to train up another party, but men seemed to have forsaken their principles for the love of power, and because of that love they had seen what had taken place so detrimental to the interests of the country, and had it not been for the independent men in the House of Commons—who seek for no power, who stood forth free and united to destroy the machinations of party—matters might have been still worse. He would for a moment turn to foreign politics; , and perhaps there never was a time when so many topics engaged the minds of men. There were the India, China, and Italian ques tions, and a little matter over in America ; and men seemed divided in opinion on almost every topic , But there was one subject in which all felt great anxiety. Who did not put the question, " How do we stand with France ?" Did they think the Prime Minister of England, the acknowledged best dip lomatist in the country, or Lord Cowley, had the slightest idea of their position with Franco He 211 E NAVY. The report of the effects of the experiments re cently made on the Trusty, 14, floating battery, with the new description of shot fired from the Armstrong guns at Shoeburyness having been laid before the Admiralty, orders have been received at Chatham for the floating battery to be thoroughly repaired, and the whole of the thick iron plates which were cracked and broken by, the shot to be replaced by wrought iron plates of a corresponding thickness. Mr. G. Cotsell, the master blacksmith, has received orders to prepare the plates, which are to be made under his superintendence. The cost of repairing the brig Coquette, run into by the Vulcan, has been estimated at about £230, and the Admiralty have instructed the Admiral Superintendent at Devonport to have the repairs executed by contract at some merchant shipbuild ing yard. The paddlewheel steam storeship Dee, 4, Master Commander T. C. Pullen, from Woolwich, arrived on Friday at Plymouth, with boilers for the Jason. The steam tender Sprightly, G. Allen, master,from Portsmouth, arrived on Friday at Plymouth, with seamen gunners for the Conqueror and Centurion. On Saturday she embarked supernumeraries, and sailed for Portsmouth. The screw steamship Revenge. 91, was taken out of No. 3 dock at Keyham, at Plymouth, on Friday, and placed alongside the sheer hulk; she is cop pered to the deepwaterline. On Friday, while under tow of a steam-tug, and in charge of a pilot, the ship Albuera, belonging to Messrs. Dunbar, of London, ran foul of his Nether lands Majesty's screw steam corvette Citadel Van Antwerp, at anchor in Plymouth Sound. Part of the Albuera's channels was carried away, and she lost her main and foretop gallant masts. The cor vette's flying jibboom and foretopsailyard were car ried away, and her catheads injured: The defects of the Citadel Van Antwerp were made good imme diately, and she sailed on Saturday for her destina tion. The Urgent, screw troopship, Commander H. W. Hire, tested her new boilers in the steam basin on Saturday, and the result was perfectly satisfactory. The engines of the vessel are in excellent condition, and she is now fit to perform any service. On Monday (this day) she goes to the trial ground in Stokes Bay to try her speed, and will afterwards return into harbour to complete for service at the. Cape of Good Hope and China. This vessel, in 15 days after her steaming into the basin, has had her old boilers taken out, her new ones with their mount ings, coal boxes, &c., took in and fitted, and steam up for testing them. Great credit is due to the offi cials of the department for their energetic exertions at a time when the ship's services are so much needed. 'rho Bacchante, screw frigate in the steam basin at Portsmouth, got up steam on Friday for the test ing of her new machinery by the officers of the steam department. lier machinery is of 600-horso power, nominal, by Messrs. Maudslay, Sons, and, Field, and she is the first vessel tested under the recent Admiralty order "to try all boilers, pipes, and all the parts of engines under water pressure,, up to double the amount of working pressure." The Bacchante was accordingly tried under a pressure of 401 b. to the square inch, and every part stood the test in a most satisfactory manner. Mr. G. Grandidier, Paymaster R.N., attached to the office of the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., at Portsmouth, has received the appointment of Secretary to Rear-Admiral Elliot, commander of the Channel Fleet. The Powerful, steam vessel, commanded by Cap tain Richards, in addition to a general cargo of war stores, has received, at the Royal Arsenal, two heavy siege train batteries of 68-pounder guns, with the usual siege train equipments, and will leave for China on Wednesday next. The Thunder, steam vessel, has left for Hong Kong, with a cargo of war and commissariat stores, and he Mauritius, No. 3, stoatn vozocl, taken up by the War Depart ment, is ordered to ship a similar cargo for the same destination. The Ist and 2d batteries of the 4th Brigade Royal Artillery, having undergone a course of training with the Armstrong gun, will embark for China during the present month. Much activity now prevails in the royal carriage depart ment, in the manufacture of mortar-beds, it being intended to ma some of the mortar-boats for service in China. The authorities of Woolwich ArAnal have been apprised by the Secretary of State for War that their suggestion relative to their observance of a general holiday in the establishment from 10 a.m. on the Saturday preceding Christmas day until the following Wednesday morning has been approved, consequently the establishment will be closed during that period. The Commodore Superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard has notified, for the informa tion of the artisans of the yard, that, with a view of remedying the inconvenience otherwise sustained, no one will be permitted to quit the service of the yard without giving 48 hours' clear notice, except under special circumstances or previous permission. Two additional batteries of Armstrong guns were on Friday proved at the Arsenal butt, Woolwich, by firing two rounds of heavy charges of powder and double shot, with perfect satisfaction as to the durability and character of the guns; and two other batteries underwent the same ordeal on Sa turday, with the same result. They were subse quently removed in cases to the military store de partment, to be packed for immediate transmission by the overland route to China. The total number now ready for the expedition, and which will be despatched during the present week, amount to 30. Since the adoption of Sir W. Armstrong's inven tion by the Government, numerous competitors have entered the field, and the War Department has sanctioned the carrying out of experiments with various specimens of breech-loading rifled'ordnance, which are stated to possess great advantages over the Armstrong gun. On Friday last, a moel gun, constructed upon principles invented by the head of a large engineering firm at Lambeth, was received at the Royal Arsenal, for examination, by the Ord nance Select Committee ; and a rifled gun, invented by Mr. Jeffery, of Stepney, which was forwarded to Woolwich about three months since, has been tested at Shoeburyness, and is said to have proved the most extraordinary weapon, in point of range and efficiency, vet introduced. Mr. Gosling, of Woolwich, also requests permission to test an in vention which, he states, will much enhance the efficiency of the Armstrong gun. A number of heavy guns have recently been for warded from tho Royal Arsenal for the coast de fences, and others, including rifled ordnance, are to, be prepared for the same purpose. In addition to the extensive new works now in progress for the fortification of Dover, three new batteries are to be provided at Ramsgate, one of which will command the mouth of the harbour.. On Saturday Mr. J. Large, the Assistant-Sur veyor to the Navy, visited Chatham dockyard to make an inspection of those ships which are now in course of construction at that establishment.. The assistant-surveyor, after transacting some official business with several Of the heads of depart ments connected with the dockyard, proceeded with Mr. 0. W. Lang, the master-shipwright, and other officers of the yard, to inspect some of the ships on the stocks,—viz., the Atlas, 91, the Bulwark, 91, the Undaunted, 50, the Rattlesnake, 21, and the Orpheus, 21, all of which are to be fitted as screw steamers. He also visited the Rodney, 91, and the Severn, 51, both of which are in dock being con verted into screw steamers; and afterwards in spected the slips on which the Royal Oak and the Belvedere, two 91-gun line-of-battle screw steamers recently ordered by the Admiralty to be built at this dockyard, are to be constructed. After spend ing some time at the dockyard, , the assistant-sur veyor, accompanied by , Mr. Lang, was rowed out to the screw-frigate Ariadne, 26, Captain B. W. Vansittart, lying at Folly Point, which has been fitted at this dockyard. Mr. Large spent some time in making a thorough inspection of that vessel, the result of Aich was in the highest degree satisfac tory, the assistant-surveyor expressing his unquali fied approbation of the manner in which all her fit ments have been completed at this dockyard, and giving his opinion that she is not surpassed by any other frigate of her size and tonnage in the world. Several hundred shipwrights are now employed on board the Atlas, 91, the Rodney, 91 , the Un daunted, 51, and the Severn, 51, at Chatham, in order that those vessels may be completed with the utmost despatch. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—J. W. Lowe, master, to be agent on board the Melbourne transport ; Edward Eckersley, second-class assistant-engineer of Vie INTELLIGEVC4 BOMBAY, BARODA, AND CENTRAL INDIA. The half-yearly report of the directors of this company is as follows : "By the following extracts from the resolution of the Bombay Government the proprietors will be glad to learn that the long-vexed question of our approach to Bombay has been satisfactorily settled: —' completion of these plans, and the estimates based on them, has established the following points in favour of the direct line from the Veturnee river, via Bassein, to Dhadur , as compared with the line adjoining the Great, India Peninsula railway at Purseek The direct line will cost less; 2. It is shorter by eight miles ; 3 . Its curves are few and easy, while those on the other line are many , and sharp; 4.

The directors regret to have to re port the loss of the ship Jessica, with over 1,300 tons of our materials on board, including four ballasting engines ; the risk of this company was, however,fully insured. By our Act of Parliament, which received the royal assent on the 16th August last, the neces sary powers for the conversion of the fully paid-up shares of the company into stock 'were granted; and in conformity with its provision s in this re spect, a resolution will be submitted to the decision of the shareholders for the conversion or consolida tion into stock of such shares of the company as shall have been fully paid up before the 31st Dec. inst. The directors cannot close their report with out adverting to those satisfactory symptoms of na tional improvement which are seen in India. Since the negotiation of the late loan by the Government the public have become better acquainted with the vast resources of the rich territories \ve possess in India—resources which only require t few years of peace to be developed in an extraordhary manner. That loan is now daily rising in the estimation of the capitalists of this country ; and they cannot examine into the securities , upon which it is based without feeling satisfied that the guaranteed stock of the Indian railway companies has become even more secure vf receiying the stipulated interest, And Pißicr 4D STA-A.71 .

THE ARMY The strength of the force at present stationed in the camp at Colchester is about 2,500 of all ranks. At the half-yearly inspection made by Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. F. Love, Inspector-General of Infantry, the appearance presented by the troops was very cre ditable. Early in the spring a draught of men will be forwarded from the camp for service in India. A detachment of the Louth Rifles arrived in Liverpool on Saturday afternoon, and proceeded to the landing-stage, where they embarked on board the steamer Falcon, for COrk. The detachment con sisted of eight officers—viz., Capts. Murray and Chaplin, Lieuts. Towneley and Cormick, Ensigns Smith and Kelly, Adjt. Billingham, and Paymas ter Burke ; also 235 non-commissioned officers and privates, 24 women, 30 children, and four horses. A detachment, consisting of Capts. Smith, Lang ton, and Murphy ; Lieuts. Lindsey, Standridge, and Stans ; Ensigns Mason and Burke ; Surgeon Dickson, and 273 non-commissioned officers and privates, 23 women, and 27 children, embarked at Liverpool on board the Cormorant the previous Tuesday. A notification was on Saturday received at Wool wich of the intention of the Commander-in-Chief to increase the Regiment of Artillery from th e p resen t strength of 14 to 16 brigades, in addition to the already expressed design of mounting two extra batteries, to be horsed and manned with 18-pounder siege guns, to be attached to the depot brigade at Woolwich. TEE HEAVY GALES OF OCTOBER AND IVOIEMBER LAST. The unusual heavy gale or rather hurricane, of the night of the 24th of October last was unexam pled in its work of destruction in our maritime re cords. During the whole of that day not a single casualty, with one trifling exception, occurred either on the shores or in the seas of the British Isles. When the Royal Charter recommenced her voyage from Queenstown on the morning of that day every one on board calculated, almost to a cer tainty, on a safe arrival at Liverpool before the evening closed ; indeed the noble ship was opposite Holyhead when the gale began to freshen up, and what subsequently happened to her and her unfor tunate crew and passengers has become " household words" in the homes of these islands. But perhaps it is not so generally known that during that aw ful night and following day 195 vessels were wrecked, 113 of them breaking into thousands of pieces, with the loss of 684 of our fellow creatures , including those who perished from the Royal. Charter. It is satisfactory to find, on the other side, that notwithstanding the fearful and terrific character of this now celebrated gale, 190 persons were saved from the wrecks by lifeboats, the rocket apparatus, and other means. From the 20th to the 31st of October the total number of shipwrecks was 248, ai i rownin g 686 per sons, showing that only two men perished from the 52 wrecks that occurred between the 27th and the 31st of the month, and their crews, amounting to 126 men, were safely rescued from their perilous positions. On the Ist November, however, the gale again was most furious ; 38 vessels were wrecked on this day, from which 29 persons were lost and 73 were saved, 31 having been rescued by lifeboats of the National Lifeboat Institution, and other bodies. The shipwrecks that took place from the 2d to the 9th November did not exceed the average rate of losses. But the summary of the whole work of destruction, from the 25th October to the 9th November, is distressing in the extreme to con template. It is as follows:—Total shipwrecks 325, total lives lost 748. It is gratifying to find that on these occasions 487 lives were rescued by life boats and other means from the wrecks. _ It is only just we should acknowledge—and what place more fitting ?—the noble assistance the National Lifeboat Institution, the Board of Trade, and local bodies have rendered in the cause of humanity on these disastrous occasions, for through their timely aid many of the men recorded above as saved were snatched from death by their excellent boats and rocket apparatus. LAMENTABLE WRECK IN I)UNDRUM BAY.— NEWCASTLE, CASTLEWELLAN, 6TII DEC., 1559.—0 n the night of the 4th inst., the Austrian brig Tiky ran on shore on the rocks off Tyrella, north side of Dundrum Bay. The Newcastle Lifeboat Institu tion, was launched a little before daylight, and got alongside the vessel about 10 a.m., which they found to be abandoned ; it was blowing a gale from S.W. at the time, with a heavy sea. The Coast Guard boat at Tyrella, in trying to reach the vessel (before the lifeboat came) was capsized, and the boat's crew nearly drowned, having got on shore in a very exhausted state. It was found afterwards that the crew of the vessel had abandoned her in their own boat directly she struck, and being outside the broken water, they succeeded in getting off St. John's Point in the morning, where they tried to land, and in doing so their boat capsized ; six were drowned, and nine saved by the Coast Guard of St. John's Point station. Had the unfortunate fellows remained by the vessel they would have been all saved, as her masts held on and part of the hull was above water until twelve hours after the life boat reached her. LYTHAM, DEC. 6.—This morning intelligence was brought hore by a fisherman that a vessel was lying sunk on the edge of Salthouse Bank, near the Ribble Lighthouse. The lifeboat of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was promptly launched, and proceeded off to the wreck, which was found to be lying sunk, with sails flying loose and in ribbons, but with no appearance of a crew. The lifeboat continued to hover about the vicinity of the wreck in the hope of discovering something of the crew, but she was compelled to return with out success to the shore, concluding that they had met a watering grave. In the meantime, however, it was discovered that the crew had succeeded in reaching the beach at the lighthouse, at midnight, after having had a very narrow escape, and bees four hours exposed in their boat. TTIE MAORI" ICING MOVEMENT IN NEW ZEALAND. On the first of this mouth a large gathering of natives took place at Waihen ga, a small village situated on the right bank of the Ruamahanga River in the Wairarapa Valley. The chief Ngairo had erected a fine house, about 60 feet in length, by 13 in width, having boarded sides and bark root, well ventilated, and ornamented in front with superb Maori carvings, well painted and decorated with the brightest plumes, the liuia, Pigeon, and Tui ; and surmounted with the effigy of a Maori chief, elaborately tatooed, and holding' in his up raised hand the badge of chieftainship—the Nero mere club. In this hall, Te Ngairo entertained to an ample Maori feast about 400 of his race, and Wairarapa settlers with their wives and daughters, to the number of about 70. The tables were spread with clean white cloths and laid in true European style. The viands were undeniably good, and numerous waiters seemed to emulate each other in their atten tions to their fair visitors. To prevent over-crowd ing,who , o w ne he p n arty of f they wereroom for the next. The g ood-hearted old N g airo was movedmittd at a time, out to make e proud indeed of his white visitors, and j ustl y so, as his tables were graced w ith the fairest flowers of the Wairarapa Valley. Cap t . Smith was guestssatisfied, w were d a re quested to preside at their table, and our host apolo gised for the absence of wins, stating that it was in pursuance of a deliberate resolution of a meeting of his people held a few days prior to the feast. After the feast commenced the speeches, which continued with unabated animation till the follow ing morning. The chief topic was the " Maori King Movement." Wi Tako came forward in the name of the king, but was met and strenuously op posed by Te Manihera, who is a man of consider able ability, and an eloquent Maori orator. Feast ing was the order of the following day ; and as night came on, the speechifying was resumed. It• was continued throughout the whole night with increased animation, and was finally closed on the third day. The attempt to establish the banner of the king proved an utter failure. Te Manihera, who stuck to his British colours, carried a large majority of the meeting with him; and another large party professed themselves neutral, thus re ducing the Kingites to a small minority. The most pleasing feature of the meeting was the cordiality which existed between the natives and the whites,—.elustralian C.ITRAP _EDITION. OF "QUITS."
