LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 26, 1858. COAT ENGAGEMENT AT LAGOS. LIVINGSTONE'S VOYAGE. The following extract front a letter of a young officer to his mother will be read with interest : " Bloodhound, Lagos, W.C.A., March 7, 1858. " My dearest Mother,—We are this day to leave for England, but as our route is rather a long and tedious one, having to call at so many places, 1 am fearful it will be nearly the latter eed of June before we reach home.' " I write now for the last time frcm this most en chantng spot, and will proceed to inform you of the se vere engagement the boats of the Bloodhound were engaged in the Benin River (being our second action), "In this host I acted as a volunteer, an:J had a most miraculous escape of being shot from a battery of swivel guns manned by a parcel of cowardly and bloodthirsty negroes ; the first gig was commanded by our gallant captain, Lieut. Chas. Robson, who led the way, and on the advance suffered very severely, for it was but a nar row creek, and defended by desperate men, whose bat teries were placed most advantageously. Tne gig was supported by the cutter, jolly-boat, and dingy, all well armed and manned. Capt. Robson's gig was soon com plete y riddled, and the boat filled with blood and water ; still on they went, the fire from the marines and blue jackets doing great execution. Although two of our men were killed and six fearfully wounded out of so small a complement in the gig, nevertheless en they pie..sed well supported by determined fellows. Tise loss was cccasionid principally from a masked battery, which, however, we soon boarded and spiked the guns, two of which we now have on the quarter-deck of the Blood hound. "The creek was without exception the most dangerous ai,d difficelt passage to enter, being extremely narrow, well commanded by guns concealed in the mangoes, and armed natives in the swamp , . " The object in attacking this place was to compel Smart,' a great trading chief, to deliver up a vessel, the property of Messrs. Charles Horefall and Co., of Liverpool, which had been piratically seized, as well as the crew, the latter baying been cruelly tortured. We succeede in destroying their batteries, after which we returned to the ship. "A consultat on was held on board as to the pro priety of destroying the Tew Tew, an idolatrous place of worship situated at the entrance of the creek. We went in under fire of the ship's guns, and pulled it down. I never had imagined previous to this what open boats could accomplish ; and had the cowardly wretches stuck to their guns not one of us could have escaped. "At one angle they bad a six-gun battery, loaded to the muzzle, and fronting that a largetree had been felled, which lay right across the creek. We were provided with Colt's revolvers, which I believe so astonished the natives with the repetition of fire without re-loading, that they must have thought his satanic majesty was lending a hand. How I escaped I know *o.—but lam grateful to a merciful Providence—for we were com pletely hemmed in it the blacks had taken advantage of our critical position. " Oar Captain Robson was foremost is all of it, and when in the act of picking off a nigger, he was severely wounded in the hand ; but nothing daunted, although he dropped, he continued his orders as coolly as though he was in a drawing•room, and this increased the confi dence of officers and men. lam ashamed to say that while the action lasted I felt bloodthirs , y and savage and wicked ; but you must make every allowance, my dear mother, for our excitement. " We all thought that our commander was killed, and we determined to avenge his death, as we thought, at (he moment. He behaved most nobly throughout, and gave 116 an example for coolness which I !Than not easily forget. Aud now I look forward to tell you in person all I have gone through, and (D.V.) I shall be with you in June next, at which date we may be supposed to arrive in Eng►and. THE 01?EilT SOCIAL EVIL QUESTION AGAIN. On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone Re. presentative Council, held at the Court-house—Mr, enurch warden Soden in the chair, . . The Rev. Mr. WILMOT, the rector of All Souls, pre sented a memorial, signed by 123 inhabitants of Port land place and its vicinity, stating that inasmuch as the vestry had not taken any steps for ridding the neighbour hood of infamous houses, they feared that the parties who had previously infested toe neigh boa, hood of Charlotte street and Norton-street were returning back to their old haunts, and'that unless same energetic steps were taken the evil would soon be as great as ever. The memorial, ther,fore, urged the vestry to energy in the prosecution of the la Lies, in which the association formed for the purpo e of checking street prostitution was prepared to ass's', them. Tue Rey. Mr. WlLltur moved that the memorial be received and euttr id upon the minutes. - Mr. NH/IMLAY seconded the motion. Mr. TAVENER contended that it was perfectly useless for the parish to be wasting its money upon a question which was one for GJ v cram en ta l or Parliamentary legis• lation, It was a perfect act of cruelty to keep persecut ing these women by driving them from place to place. The legislation upon this subject as at pressnt was like a revolving wheel ; as soon as these persons were moved from one place they went round to another. If the Marylebone portion of the wheel threw them off they got into St. Pancras, and as the St. Pancras wheel went round they came back again to St. Mare lsbone, to S James's, and other places. Mr. MALTBY complained of the narrow view Mr Tavener took of this question, and contended that i 1 was the legal duty tf the vestry, when these things were brought under their notice, to put a stop to them as tar as practicable. Professor MARKS also thought the subject was one which ought to be dealt with in a more comprehensive spirit than even parochial legislation., Mr. M'EVlev contended that it was the dut y of that vestry to find the funds to prosec ut e in such cases, and if aggrieved parties did so themselves they could re cover the 111R , 18 of she vestry. Dr. BACHROFFNER, Mr. VERET, and other gentlemen having offered some observations, Mr HODGES said the memorial was indefinite, as it said the mecuorialists "had reason to fear that the parties complained of were returning to the houses." He has understood from Mr. Stewart it was a fact, and, there fore, why not state it as fact He moved as an amend ment, or rather addition, " That the memorial be re ferred to a committee, t 3 confer with the gentlemen of the Portland-place Association, and to report as to the kind of assistance the latter were likely to afford the vestry. Mr. VERET seconded this addition. Dr. GOURLEY said he had several times written to Sir R. Mayne on this suoject, and he had replied to him that he received quite as many complaints from gentlemen of the impertinent interference of the police with the street females as he did of the solicitations of the females them. selves. He thought the best thing for the Portland -place Association to do was to engage twenty policemen themselves, and let them be continually dodging these people about. (Laughter.) The motion, with Mr. Hodge's addition, was then carried. The report as then brought up for consideration. Tne Rev. T. GARNIER, rector of Trinity, said he had great pleasure in moving the adoption of the reeort, and also that a copy be forwarded to the Secretary of S ate for the HOMO Department. The public press had very properly denominated this our greatest social evil. It was, indeed, a disgrace aid scandal to the country, and was sapping its foundation. Mr. TAYENER seconded the adoption of the report. Professor MARKS was for going much further than his colleagues in this matter. At the same time he would not go the length of a certain vestry, which desired that these unfortunates shou.d not be treated as if they wets human flesh and blood. Mr. MASON said the main cause of this misfortune was the disgraceful emolument given to female labour. There was an establishment in that parish, facing a church, where from 40 to 50 young women were ern• ployed in cloak-roaking, and they were paid at the rate of 2.H. per cloak, anti it was impossible fur them to earn more than 76d. each per day, and fled their needles and silk, o" when ' (if femaleit.

It was a grea t ques ti on h o w to de fine EBEy al co plained th a t it was th e gen try who supported these dens of infamy. Only a short time back an elderly man came up to his house, which, as they knew, was a public-house, in his carriage, with his livery ser vant behind, and actually had the audacity to come and ask him to inform where he could find a notorious house of the description in the neighbourhood. This was in broad day. (Hear, hear.) Af er some further remarks the report was adopted, and a copy directed to be forwarded to the Secretary of State. The board, after other important business, adjourned. It appears from an advertisement for the sale of the late Mademoiselle Rachel's mansion, in the Rua Trudon, posted on all the walls of Paris on Saturday, that Count Walewski, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has, in the forms admitted by French law, acknowledged himself to be the fatber of one of her children, who, with his Excellency's sanction, bears the name of Alexandre- Antoine Walewski.

On Saturday an important meeting in the matter of winding up this unfortunate under taking was held at the chambers of Vice-Chancellor Wood, before Mr. Leman, his chief clerk, to proceed to make a call on all the shareholders in A, being the holders of shares at the date of the winding-up order, and also on those included in Class C, being shareholders who had transferred their shares within three years prior to the date of such order, the amount of call proposed to be made being at the rate of 501. per share. The financial statement of Messrs. Stuart and Ball, the official mauagers eligage.l in investigating and in winding up the affairs of the bank, set forth that the liabilities of the corporation on the 6th of April last amounted 193,5121., which amount was made up as follows :—drawinrs• accounts, 2001. ; de posit accounts, ex interest, 7,042/. ; bills payable, 107,7001.; Delhi Bank, 2,0)0/.; Uncovenanted Ser vice Bank, 570/. ; Indian claims, 13,000/. ; Orien tal Bank, 63,000/. ; total, 193,512/. The actual and estimated assets o the corporation amounted to 102,750/., made up as follows :—Cash in hand, 1,100/. ; Bank houses in Pall-mall (leasehold), and King William-street (leasehold), 1,900/. ; bills re-' ceivable current, 4,500/. ; past-due bills, say 35,250,/. ; sundry debtors, say 10,000/. ; Brank sea Island, and other assets, 50,000/. ; total, 102,750/. The official managers believed that the above estimate of the assets and liabilities was fair and reasonable, but the assets were insufficient to meet the liabilities by the sum of 90,762/., or there abouts. To meet this deficiency it would be neces sary to make a call on the shareholders of 50/. per share, but inasmuch as on a call being made prior to the winding-up order—v;z., on the 9th April last, of 15/. per share, and a similar call en the 14th July last, many of the shareh elders have made payments in respect of the same, such shareholders will have credit for the amount so paid. In arriving at the necessity of a call being made of 501. per share, the official managers had used the following estimate of the result of the said calls, and which ' they believed to be fair and reasonable :—Uncel- DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING. lected arrears of call of the 9th of April, 1857 TOUR OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.

Sir,—As your readers will be gratified to hear the most recent tidings of the great South African explorer, I beg to send you extracts from letters ho has addressed to me from Sierra Leone. Your obedient servant, RODERICK I. MURCHISON. Belgrave-square, April 23. "Sierra Leone, March 30. " My dear Sir Roderick,—We have been for five days coaling and watering on the 'grave of the white man,' and, for a sepulchre, it really looks well. From its character I expected to find it a great mud bank like Quilimane, but found, instead, a rocky promontory, pretty well covered with tropical ♦egetation, and having high hilts in the background it presents a beautiful land scape. It is wonderfully free from mosquitoes, that plague of hot climates, even though the atmosphere has the hot steamy feel which prevails where the insect abounds. It is to be hoped that they have suffered from the ravages of the fever for which this place has become famed, and mean to remain away. Some of the older inhabitants (and, among the rest, Mr. Oldfi Id, the tra ♦eller, whom I was happy to meet here hale and hearty) inform me that Sierra Leine has been much more healthy during the last ten years than it was previously. This I conclude to be the result of the drainage of Kroo Town, which has been accomplished by the present Governor, Colonel Hill. The streets, which formerly were full of holes, where the water lay stagnant, filthy and green till the sun licked it up, diffusing in the meanwhile the fatal seeds of fever and de ,t 1); have all been raised in the middle, and runs made for the surface water to flo w into the sea. This is a great improvement, and a corresponding amelioration of public health has been the result. That, however, which we in Soo•land call the Whiskey fever' cannot be cured by governors, and climates are often blamed for the effects of the drain and other irregularities.

Sir, —With reference to your communication to me of the 9th December, conveying the remarks of his Excellency the Coinntandor-in-Chief, regarding my retreat from the postion I had been directed to defend by Major-General Windham, command ing the force, on the evening of the 28th Nov., I beg I may b 3 permitted most respec . fully to state that I was under the full impression that I had due authority from the major-geueral to retire when the post became no longer tenable. I received a ver bal memaize during that day, either from the late Captain M'Crae or Lieutenant Budgeon (I cannot recollect which), that, when I could hold out no longer, I was to retire to the entrenchment where her Majesty's 64th Regiment was located. I can not call to mind receiving any express instructions to that effect froth Major-General Windham him self ; but I am under the impression that the major general, on the previous evening, made some such remark as, " Well, gentlemen, when we can hold out no longer, we must retire to the cn.renclimei t." Under that impression I acted during the day, and made my retrograde movement into the entrench ment in the evening, and, I trust, his Excellency will be able on this explanation to exonerate me from blame and censure in that particular respect. —I have, &c.

His Excellency would be much obliged to you to com municate to me,_ for his information , your opinion as to whether Brigadier Carthew had reas sn to imagine that a discretionary power was left to him in the exercise of his command of the post in ques tion, which could be interpreted in the sense lin plied in the inclosed letter. His Excellency's im pressions on this subject were founded on the fact of the general surprise displayed hy'yourself and others at the abandonment of the post in question, after you had proceeded with the reinforcements demanded some short time before, almost imme diately after his Excellency arrived at the entrench ment.—l have, tkr,c. W. lit. MANSFIELD, Major - General, Chief of the Staff. No. 3. Major-General Windham to the Chief of the Staff. December 19, 1857. Sir, —11l answer to your communication of to day, I have'ithe honour to state, for the information of his Excellency, that 1 think Brigadier Carthew esentation of my views. On has made a fa ir rep , the night of the 27th, at a general meeting of the superior officers, I thought it m y duty to hold as much of the town as I could, as we might expect a large number of women and children, sick and wounded, to arrive shortly, that it would he cruel to shut them all up iu the tort, even if it were possible. Therefore I was resolved that every one should hold on as long as possible, and if obliged to fall back they could not come to the fort at last. In the plan of defence we abandoned the centre of the city, thinking it too cramped and narrow in its streets for the enemy to enter with his big guns. When I took down the detach me nt of Rifles to Brigadier C ar th ew ' s assist e I observed it was a sharp fight, and eimme diately went and ordered Licut.-Col. Watson and companies of the 82d to go to him, and saw two him on the road there. I was in hopes this force would have prevented the necessity of his retiring, which was the cause of my being surprised at it.— I have, dro. C. A. WiNnuAxt, Major-General. No. 4. The Deputy Adjutant-General of the Army to the Secretary to the Government of India. Head-quarters, Camp, Cawnpore, Dec. 22, 1857. Sir, —With refer4nce to nry despatch of the 10th inst., and its enclosures, relative to Brigadier M. Carthew's defence of the bridg e and Bithoor-r,:ad at Cawnpore on the 2Sth ult., I have now the honour by direction o f the Comm an d er -i n -Chi e f, t o forward, for submission to the Governor-General in Council, copies of letters as per margin.* When the memorandum dated the iu6t. wa s written, a copy of which wa s transmitted in my above letter, and in which the conduct of Brigadie r Carthew was commented on by his Excellency, the Com mander-in-Chief was under the strongest impres sion that Brigadier Carthew bad retired from his post, on the 28th of Novemb er , w ith ou t or d ers , and that no discretionary power had been given to him. Sir Cohn Campbell conceived it to be an imperative duty to mark what he considered to b , . a violation of one of the first principles of war. It appears, however, that his Exc e ll ency ' s i m p res sion - wa§ erroneous!, and it 12 a matt er o f th e sincerest - , - //.2v [PRiok 4u. S AMPKD THE SE OWES. Tha preliminary report of the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the bast mode of distri buting the sewage of towns has been, laid on the table of the House of Commons. The Commissioners state that they have paid par ticular attention to the case of London, and have appended the line of a plan, which is altogether new, for dealing with the sewage of the metropolis. This is the leading feature of the report ; but the Commissioners first describe the nature of the in quiries that have led to the conclusions at which they have arrived. It is observed that the abolition of cesspools and the general adoption of waterclosets having ren dered necessary a more extended system of sewers of greater capacity, the discharge of so large a body of sewage into town rivers must be productive of nuisance and disease among the inhabitants upon the bank. The Thames, before it reaches the• point.from which the water supply of London is at present derived, receives the refuse of districts containing upwards of 700,000 persons. Not only theuisntilthe water, when polluted wit's sewage matter, eminently, unfit f or h uman consum p ' i ou , b u t it de stroys • thle iqu fi id sh s , ew as ag w e a w s as t r h ed the case at innocuous Leices tc i - ) r, chemical processes , since which time the fish have again appear( d.

The results have been found so satisfactery that in some cases very vain ' able mea,cloiva haVe been created from that which was formerly mere barren sea sand, while the al sorption is so rapid that no offensiveness is appre ciable, even in hot weather, within five minutes after the application of the liquid. Fur large towns the Commissioners are of opinion that the precipitation process is the best, ellowing the water after purification to pass off, and leaving the thick "slud_e" alone to be used for manuring purposes. This, theref :re, is the plan which they propose for London. Convinced by the representations of Mr. Golds worthy Gurney that the mere diversion of the sewage will not purify the Thames from its present foul condition, the effect of past accumulations, the Commissioners recommend the immediate execu tion of the embankment scheme, propounded by tl.e Metropolis Improvement Commission of 1844. Advanced terraces being constructed, continuous on the surface, but aff irding convenient entrances to inner basins for the wharfs above London bridge, reservoirs are to be formed in the embank ments adjacent to the mouths of the existing sewers, into which all the sewage is to be received and deodorised, and from which—the purified water being first allowed to flow into the river—'.he pre cipitated matter will be pumped into the country or to the sea. The reservoirs and apparatus are to be beneath the surface, aed consequently invisible ; so that no nuisance whatever can be appreheadol. The subsidiary parts of the scheme are the ad , rn ment of the river, the relief of the streets by the terrace carriage ways between London and We.t mins or, and the connection by railroad of the existing termini on the southern shore. The cost of the entire works is estimated at 3,250,0001., ex elusive of any approaches which may be formed in connection with the new thoroughfares. _ it_lefiAjn^ , itlier of the cc Dal:lin Society ) sonic. o' a.ssociwiorifi.

THE PENINSULAR MAILS. -LIP - Th a steamship Tagus, belonging to the fleet of the Peninsular and ()dental Company, Captain E. Christian, arrived at Southampton on Saturday afternoon, with the above-named mails, in charge of Lieut. Wiliam Payne, R.N.; Admiralty agent. She lett Gibraltar on the 16th inst. ; Cadiz; the same day ; Lisbon, the 19± ; Oporto, the 20. h ; and Vigo, the 21st.- During the outward passage the Tagus had strong headwinds and sea ; through the straits a strong Levanter, which continued on her return, and also along the coast as far as Cape St. Vincent. ; off Cape Finistetre strong winds, with herid - sea ; and the reinuainder of the vayage a light easterly breeze and fine weather. This steanak , r.brought 12 passengOS (7 first-class 3 second, and 2 deck), 43 packages of specie, value 25,873/. sterling, BO boxes of potatoes, 536 chests of oranges, 30 boxes of sugar, 111 boxes of egg+, and 53 packages of general merchandise. On the 17th inst., off the Cape St. Vincent, she passed the Royal Mail steamer Tevint, outward bound. _ _ The Auerian di:rip-of-war Carolina, Captain Koham, 18 days from Ascension (Cape Verd -) ar rived at ar on the morning of the 14ch inst., and saluted the garrison wi h 21 guns at 8 a.m., which was returned by the saluting battery. About a quarter past 9 o'clock the Carolina saluted. the Prince of Portugal with 21 guns, which was duly returned by the Portuguese brig Pedro Nunez, and shortly afterwards the !atter vessel left the bay for Cangier and Lisbon. The Peninsular and Oriental Co.'s steamship Be flares, Capt. Joy, six days from Gravesend, with troops for India, arrived at Gibraltar on the night of the . 14th, aT,d resumed her voyage on the follow ing day for Malta and:Alexandria. The American schooner Central America, Capt. T. Snow, with flour for Gibraltar and Malaga, ar rived at the first-naniel port on the 14th, in 26 days from New York. The Tagus broughtUsbon dates of the 19th inst. H. 8.. H. the'D eke of Oporto had returned in com mand of the brig of war Pedro Nunez from Gibral tar, much pleased with the attention he had re ceived.

Great ',Reparations are being made at Lisbon to give the royal bride a brilliant reception upon her arrival, about the 10th Moy. It is expected she will visit the Courts of Belgium, France, and Eng ! land before finally proceeding to Lisbon. Portu guese politicians are mostly engaged in prepara tions for the new elections.

One of the most striking features of the present period is perhaps the progressive advancement in the means of communication between distant places. One important step in this direction, by which the journey between Paris and London will be brought within ten hoursand three-quarters, we understand, conies into operation on Saturday next, the Ist of May. The South-Eastern Railway Company have completed arrangements with the Nor hern Railway of France by which the tidal service via Folkestone and Boulogne will be accelerated so as to be performed in less than eleven hours, an unprecedented speed for any regular service between the tsTo cities. It will be remembered that the extraordinary mails front India during the critical period of the mutiny were freqnently conveyed from Paris to Landon in nine hours (tor which the Postmaster-General acknow ledges the cervices of the South Eastern Railway in his report just published), and thus by showing what could be done the way was paved for the acceleration of the daily tidal service. To rapidity this service adds other advantages ; the trains are accompanied by an inter- preting conductor throughout, and the voyage is always performed at tide time, thus obviating the use of small boats. The humbler classes of continental travellers will hens tforth also have the benefit of the short sea route, and a fare by third class Wang, via Boulogne, has been established at the low rate of 253. Return tickets will be issued during the ensuing season—an arrangement very acceptable to travellers, as promoting cinvenience and economy. The system of through tickets is being extended, and it is, no doubt, a great accommodation to travellers proceeding long distances, and over many different lines of railway, to be saved from numberless payments in all varied: aof currency. Through tickets can row be had to Berlin, Bremen, Brunswick, Dresden, Hanover, Har burg, Leip-ic, Magdeburg, as well as to the different principal - places nearer home. These tickets will shortly be provided also to Milan, Turin, Geneva, &c. Rapid progress is being made towardr the completion of an uninterrupted railway communication between Paris add Italy. Au additional portion of line is to be opened in the summer which will give a continuous railway to St. Jean de Maurienne, and towards autumn the entire line froth Paris to Milan will beeready for traffic, with the exception of the break between St. Jean and Susa, which is performed by diligence in. 12 hou-s. From the steps cow being taken by the railways on this route, the journey between Paris and Turin will soon be per formed in 28 hours, Milan in 32 hours, Venice in 40 hours, and Tiiestein 48 hours—a rapidity which cannot be exceeded by, perhaps a y other route in Europe. The communication with the North of. Europe has been also improve. The South-Eastern Railway some time since, in co-operation with the Belgian railway autho rities, reduced the journey to Brussels by the day ser vice to 12 hours, and probably further accelerations will soon be accomplished. Thenomprehensive arrange ments which now exist for the registration of baggage to and from the continent relieve the traveller of much of the annoy ancs which he was liable to formerly in this respect. The passport nuisance will be greatly abated by the measures proposed by the present Foreign Secretary, and there is little doubt tbat on the re moval of the restrictions which the recent French regula tions imposed there will he a fresh impetus given toiFi?n tinental travel.
