It was a t first LuPPosed that they had been killed by electricity during the Z i nn which raged with great force over the neigh unrhood on Wednesday morning last ; but from seve ral sheep, horses, and cows having died suddenly, since all investiolition has been made, which leads incontes tably to the belief that they have all been poisoned by rape Ire Which had been forwarded to Mr. Singlehurst from I'1"rerpool as manure but was used as food for cattle. An , 11 alysis of the cake s hows that it contains mineral poison. 4-Not withstanding the heavy loss already entailed upon the °wner it is feared that this will be increased by several o thers, as both sheep, horses, and cattle are affected to B °° l l an extent that they are not expected to recover.

A second was got ready, but before she could be got launched the ves sel had so far settled down that the sea swept her away, most of the crew holding on to her. She (the Lady Franklin) soon afterwards eapsised,when the deponent (Matthews) clung to the first portion of the wreck he could lay hold of. The master and passengers were endeavouring to launch the gig, when the barque went down, head foremost. About an hour afterwards he fancied he heard some some one hailing, to which the deponent responded; from which time till daylight he neither saw nor heard anything. At daylight he distinctly saw a man clinging to a plank not far off him, but he dis appeared soon after. About 9 a.m. next day, Nov. 30, he was picked.up by the Marley, screw steal's ship, of and from London, in lat. by account, 48 52 N., long. 60 40 W. ; wind at the time strong from west north-west, with heavy, high, and very cross seas.

He arrived in Cadiz horbonr on the sth inst., and was brought to the Consulate this morning, when he made this decla ration. " CHARLES MATTHEWS. " Sworn before me this 9th day of Dec., 1859. " J. M.

Everything connected with the great ship re mains at present in statu quo. The expenses on board have been reduced to the smallest possible amount, and pending her inquiry going on before the arbitrators between the company and Mr. Scott Russell, no works other those which are absolutely necessary are being carried on. When the arbitra tion may be concluded it is impossible to say, as the numerous engagements of Mr. Hawkshaw, and the other engineers who act as referees, prevent their devoting much time to the subject. The questions which they have to decide are exceedingly intricate. The question, of course, as between the company and Mr. Scott Russell, is with respect to the fitting of the ship for sea after the launch. With all that took place before, the arbitrators have nothing to do, whether with respect to that part of the ship built by Mr. Russell, under his original contract, or the portions completed by the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, under the direct inspection of Mr. Brunel. It was of course a matter of great importance to have the ship ready for sea as soon as possible, and after careful consideration on the part of the board it was decided that as Mr. Scott Russell possessed all the requisite plans and mo dels, and was also the only engineer who would undertake the completion of the paddle engines, the contract should be given to him. By the terms of the contract the vessel was to be fitted entirely as a first-class ship, and ample security was given for the performance of the conditions of the contract. 'rime was an important element in the contract. The sum agreed upon was X 125,000, to which £4,000 was to be added in the event of the work being completed within a specified time. The work was to be carried on under the control and responsibility of Mr. Brunel as engineer, and arbitrators were ap pointed to settle all questions which might arise. The amount of work to be done was something enor mous, as may be supposed in a vessel ten times the size of the Great Britain. Some portions of tb , , l work were only required to be of a temporary r:oa racter ; among these many of the cabins, whi c h were only put up avowedly to serve for a short voyage, and some other parts of the slAp, such as the deck, were to be completed after she had made her first voyage, or trial trip. "%%rhen the ship left the Thames, Mr. Brunel, it, is understood, stated that a sum of about £ 5,00 P would be required to be expended in additional, - wor k s , in order to complete the ship, and the v; nole demands of the Board of Trade may be r_omplied with for something under £3,000. There are various improvements which have beer, suggested, but which are not considered as ; and when once the field of suggestion za `dirown open to any person—professional or non professional—it is easy to run up a tolerable good list, and more especially when the cost of them is to be defrayed by other parties. The whole amount of these suggested alterations and additions would be covered by from eight to ten thousand pounds. In the face of such a state of things as this, it is diffi cult to account for the panic which appears to have seized the proprietors of this magnificent vessel. There is surely not less ground for confidence in her now than when she lay an idle and unfinished hull in the Thames. Her powers have been tested, and they have been found to be in every respect equal to the anticipations of her designers and builder. The ship has made more than the 15 knots an hour which were required by Mr. Brunel, and which gives her a speed of 50 per cent. over that which is stipulated for in the mail contracts with the line of ocean steamers already at work. And this speed is attained with an economy of fuel and horse power which even exceeds the anticipations of Mr. Brunel. While the Persia, of 3,000 tons, burns 150 tons of coal per day, the Great Eastern, of 25,000 tons, does not require more than twice the consumption of the Persia. Tho Great Eastern is eight times the size, but consumes only twice the quantity of fuel, and gives a much higher rate of speed that the fastest ocean steamer afloat. These results, in a scientific point of view at least, are satisfactory in the highest degree. With respect to its commercial prospects, those surely are in no respect altered for the worse since it has been proved that, with immense carry ing power, the noble ship has the qualities of great speed and economy in consumption of fuel. It is to be regretted that conflicting opinions prevail among the directors and shareholders to such an extent as to interfere, to a considerable degree, with the satisfactory w or ki ng o f th e un d er t a ki ng . Upon this and many other points convected with its ad ministration no doubt full explanation will be afforded at the meeting of shareholders called by the directors for the 11th of January. The chairman and directors of the company have expressed their determination of asking for the appointment of a committee of shareholders, and of giving the fullest explanation upon many matters, with respect to which a great deal of misrepresentaf on has been disseminated by persons whose sole object appears to be to throw discredit upon an undertaking which has in it many of the attributes of a great national work.—Observer. CAPTURE OP A SL 4 VER—IN _HUMAN CONDUCT OF TILE SLdVER'S CREW. On Sept. 22, as her Majesty's ship Spitfire was steaming to windward, a brigantine, suspected of being engaged in the slave trade, was met off Agh way, Bight of Benin, running to leeward, which shortly afterwards anchored at Whydah, a noted slave depot, at which place her Majesty's ship Spitfire likewise anchored. For three days the suspected vessel remained there, pretending to dis charge plank and other cargo. On Sunday fore noon, September 25, the weather being thick and squally, the brigantine left Whydah, and ran to leeward. Desiring not to lose sight of her the Spit fire steamed in the same direction that afternoon, and Lieut. Chapman having ascertained that she was not anchored at Jackin, to which place the bri gantine was said to have been bound, proceeded in chase, and came up with her working off the land, on a wind, at 10 p.m. No satisfactory answer being returned when hailed she was boarded, and proved to be the suspected vessel. The boarding officers returned apparently satisfied with the result, and with the account given by the person representing himself as the master of the vessel. Notwithstanding all this, doubts as to her honesty remained in . Lieut. Chapman's mind, and there being almost a calm he decided on steaming back to Jackin, to learn some particulars of her having been off that place, which is a noted slave station. Having ascertained early next morning that a vessel had shipped slaves there the previous afternoon, he proceeded again in chase of the brigantine, and came up with her at 10 a. m ., Sept. 26. Lieut. Chapman boarded in person, an d not being satisfied with the answ o e f r t s he gi ven by the vessel, who person supposed to be the master said he had no papers, directed the hatches to be opened, whence issued immediately the frantic cries of stifling hundreds of wretched human bei ngs, who were huddled together in heaps, naked, regardlr,„ of sex or age. At the same time two or three of the slaver's crew leaped out of the hold, nake d to the waist, and begrimed with the blood of fl ..,ae wretched hi acks,whomthey cruelly lashed. latP :Keeping silence, looking in every respect Peri"`„ demons. The flag that she unwarrantably 14`7.:iaid claim to was hauled down by one of kr or - ,vn crew, and the British run up, amidst theAttp tv cheers and joyful shouts of the rescue( ns The vessel was found to contain AOO slaw- ' _s, and was taken in tow to Whydah, and des Latched next day to Sierra Leone, with the 'slaves all healthy, for adjudication in the Prize Court at that place. L. 651 DREADFUL SIIIPTVRECK IN THE CHANNELL. During Friday afternoon and yesterday a great sensation pervaded the shipping interest in the city in consequence of the receipt of a telegram from Lloyd's agent at Calais, announcing that in the course of that (Friday) morning several French fishing smacks had brought into Calais harbour a large number of cases of wrecked goods with the name of " Blervie Castle" painted upon them. It was at once supposed that they had come from the ship Blervie Castle, Captain George M'Hardy commander, belonging to Messrs. Dunbar and Son, the eminent shipowners, which cleared out of the London Docks last week for Adelaide, and sailed from Gravesend on the 15th. Great anxiety was of course evinced to have further information relative to the cases, and a rneseage per electric telegraph was at once forwarded to the agent of Lloyd's at Calais desiring him to send imme diately the numbers and character of marks upon the cases. Yesterday morning the subjoined particulars of the wrecked property taken into Calais was received from the agent -- " CALAIS, Friday. " The cases picked up and landed at Calais are marked as follows :-G B A (in a diamond), 34 1 triangle), A beneath 10, 3 B A (in a diamond) D J T (in a diamond), 123 M N (in a diamond) 359 T L (in a diamond), 40, 35, 139, 98, 158. 133, 59. 11 cases marked B 59, G B F 1,4, 8, 17, 20 F (in a (circle) 880 B S A (in a diamond), 130, G W A (in a diamond), 28, 32, S A B and G 95 (in a square), G B L, 12 13 ; A E (in a diamond), 185 83 (in a diamond), with C M (beneath), 251, R. and S S., 58 ; G.

(in a diamond), 10, 17, 21, 29 ; eight casks without marks ; four barrels marked Booth, London ; M. C. and C., 69, 214 ; B. C. R. W.,156 ; W. P. E. P.; three casks without marks, 12, 62, 20 tin cases, a gun carriage, six bottles of wine, one bottle of gin, and seven iron hoops. The master of one of the boats states that these things were picked up about 20 miles to the N.E. of Dunkirk, and that he left a considerable quantity of goods floating about with the spars and planking of a large vessel. The cases bear, in addition to the other marks, the words Blervie Castle." Lloyd's agent at Dunkirk also forwarded the following : " Dec. 23.—Seven cases have been picked up 12 miles N.N.E. of this port. G and C (in a diamond) C A 88, G B A (in a diamond) H 62, W H P (in a diamond) C M 259, 1 (in a triangle) A 34, S J (in a diamond) M 65, five of which bear the name Blervie Castle, besides one without mark and one containing a pianoforte. The third one (No. 259) is broken and appears to contain ready .made clothes. On the spot there was no appearance of a vessel except that of a mast." Inimediately on the receipt of this news the brokers, Messrs. Grierson and Tweedale, of Princes street, who had chartered the ship, compared the marks and numbers of the cases with the vessel's manifest ; and it was at once seen that the whole of the wrecked property formed portion of the cargo of the Blervie Castle, and the fact was apparent that she must have gone to pieces, as the four bar rels marked " Booth, London," which had been landed at Calais, were known by the clerk to have been stowed at the bottom of the hold of the ill fated ship. The Blervie Castle was one of the fleet of Messrs. Duncan Dunbar, of Limehouse. She was a very fins ship, 610 tons register, almost new, having only been built twoyears, and was classed at Lloyd's A 1, 12 years. She had very superior passenger accom modation, and was chartered by Messrs. Grierson and Tweedale, and laid on for Adelaide. She loaded in the London Docks, and about 40 passengers had taken berths in her to proceed to the colony. Twenty two joined her when she left the river, and the re mainder intended to go on board at Plymouth, where the ship had to put in. She carried a crew of 34 hands, including the officers, and had a valuable cargo of merchendise, with some live stock on deck. The Channel pilot took charge of her when she sailed from Gravesend on the 15th inst., and proceeded through the Downs with her, and left her off Dover on Sunday evening, when all appeared well with her, and she had a fair wind for her course down Channel. It was expected that she would reach Plymouth about Tuesday or Wed nesday, but nothing more was heard of her. To wards the close of Tuesday the wind shifted to the north-north-west and blew a terrific gale, with heavy snow, the pilots who were out describing it as an awful night. It is supposed that the ship must have got some distance down Channel when she encountered ;l e gale, and whether Captain M'Hardy, who } .'.,ears a high character for skilful seamanship, attempted to run back or hold on by beating about, and was driven back by the force of the tempest, is a matter of conjecture. It is quite evident that the ship got back to the eastward of Dungeness, in the more narrow portion of the Channel, where both the English and French coasts are most prominently lighted, and when seen give a ship her immediate position. It is therefore ex ceedingly probable that the dense snow which fell during the night entirely shut out these beacons from view, and that Capt. M'Hardy was not aware of his situation. It was thought that she was lost either on the Varne or the Ridge, two shoals which stand in the centre of the Channel almost in a line with Folkestone and Cape Grinez. The Varne ex tends some four or five miles in length, extremely narrow, and has not more than a fathom and a-half upon it at low water, while all round it are sound ings at 12 and 17 fathoms. The Ridge is near to the French coast, a long and narrow shoal, and, like the Varne, has deep water round it. The gene ral impression is that the ship struck upon one of those shoals, and, after heavy beating, wont to pieces, and sliding off sunk in deep water. It may be stated that she was fitted with ample boats to save all hands, but in such a sea as prevailed that night it is very doubtful whether they could have outlived it. Since the communications that have come to hand from Calais and Dunkirk it has been ascer tained that several luggers have reached Rams gate, Dover, and Folkestone with portions of the cargo of the Blervie Castle; some of it was picked up in the course of Thursday as far to the eastward as the Galloper Light off Harwich. The following are the names of the passengers wbo went on board in the river and have perished : " Ist Class—Mr. and Mrs. Daniel and family, consisting of four sons and one daughter—Henry, Arthur, Edmund, William, and Elizabeth, late of Upper Belgrave-place, Belgrave•square ; Master Stone, aged 16.

There were nine other seamen:on board whose names have not as yet been correctly ascertained. The value of the ship and cargo is estimated at £30,000 at least. LOSS OF THE LADY FRANKLIN, OF LIVERPOOL. Intelligence was received in Liverpool on Satur day, confirming the total wreck of the barque Lady Franklin, of Liverpool, while on her passage from, that port to Maranham. There is little doubt, also, that all on board perished save one of the crew, Charles Matthews, a native of the West Indies, who was afterwards picked up, landed at Cadiz, and made the following statement to Mr. J. M. Brackenbury, Her Majesty's Consul at Cadiz : " British Consulate, Cadiz, Dec. 6, 1859. " On this day appeared personally before me Chas. Matthews, a native of Kingstown, Jamaica, and he voluntarily declared upon oath that he sailed from Liverpool in the English barque Lady Franklin, of Liverpool, Capt. Mantle, with a general cargo for Maranham, the crew consisting of 17 persons, and two male passengers. That on the 29th Nove mber, at midnight, the Lady Franklin was struck on her port bow by a large ship steering to east ward. After the second concussion the ship an swered to the hail and promised to stop by ttqUark, but afterwards seen to steer twAy tind` was soor, lost sight of. One 9 the boats was then lan4hed 2HE NAVY. The mechanics and workmen employed in Chatham Ikck yard have raised a handsome sum of money for the purposo of presenting three testimonials to Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. M. F. Smith, and also to Mr. P. Wykcham Martin and Mr. Ser • grant Kinglake, PS an acknowledgment of the great ser vices rendered to the workmen in the Royal dockyards by those gentlemen, through whose exertions; aided by the Right Hon. Mr. Wilson, late M.P. for Devonport, to whom a testimonial has already been presented from the workmen of Chatham Dockyard, the Kovisions of the Civil Service Superannuation Act were extended to the mechanics and labourers employed in the naval establishments of the king dom. The testimonials which have been selected by the committee consist of three massive silver tankards, ele gantly chased and of the most beautiful workmanship, each weighing nearly 40 ounces. The three tankards are in all respects similar, the following inscription being en graved on each :—" Presented to [member's name] by her Majesty's civil servants and their friends, resident in Chatham, Rochester, Brompton, and Strood, for his exer tions in assisting in parsing the Superannuation Act, 1859." Each of the testimonials stands on a carved polished block of oak formed out of one of the beams of the renowned frigate Shannon, just broken up at Chatham, which fought and made the gallant capture of the United States' frigate Chesapeake during the American war; a silver plate, inserted in the pedestal of each, has the following inscription :—" This block is a portion of her Majesty's ship Shannon, which fought the Chesapeake June 1, 1813." The testimonials are to be presented to the hon. members in the course of a few days by a deputation selected from the dockyard artizans. The screw steam frigate Galatea, 26, 800-horse power, is ordered to proceed from Woolwich to Chatham to-morrow, to be docked and made ready for the steam reserve at that port. The Urgent, screw troopship, Commander Hire, will sail from Portsmouth this morning for Hongkong, calling at Kingstown to embark the 2d battalion 19th Foot for the Cspe of Good Hope. The following gentlemen take pas sages by her:—For Algoa Bay, Store-clerk Le Breton; for Kongkong, Assist.-Surge. Rattray, 11.1‘Kenzie, Rolle, and Fraser. The Firebrand, 6, paddle, Commander J.
