V The reports of our "Malta, correspondent come down to as late a date as the 30th of April, on which day the following ships composed the magni ficent fleet in port :—The Marlborough, 131 (bear ing the flag of the Vice-Admiral Commander-in. Ch'ef, A. Fanshawe, C. 8.), Capt. Lord F. H. Kerr; Hannibal, 91 (with the flag of Rear-Admiral G. R. Mundy, C. 13., second in command), Commander Parkins; the St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Capt. T. P. Thompson ; the James Watt, 91, Capt. E. Codd ; the Agamemnon, 91, Capt. Thomas Hope ; the Re nown,s9l, Capt. A. Forbes; the London, 90, Capt. H. Chads; the Neptune, 90, Capt. F. A. Campbell; the Cressy, 80, Capt. Hon. C. G. J. Elliot, U.B, ; the Cadmus, 21, screw steam corvette, Capt. H. S. Hillyar, C.B. ; the Scylla, 21, screw steam corvette, Capt. R. Lambert ; the bledina,4,steam surveying vessel, Capt. T. A. B. Spratt, C.B. ; the Firefly, 4, steam vessel, Commander A. L. Mansell ; the Cara doe, 2, Lieutenant-Commanding C. B. Buckle ; the Boxer, Lieut. S. Graham ; the Hibernia receiving ship (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral A. J. Cod rington, C. 8.), Capt. Hon. A. Hobart; and the Hearty tug steamer. The Assurance steam gunboat left Malta for Sicily on the 23d, and returned on the 28th, after having visited Trapani, Palermo, and Messitta. e The Cadmus steam corvette_ Beyrout on the 24th, and was to leave very shortly for the West Indies. Six of he line-of-battle ships in Malta harbour were tak- ing on board provisions for ten weeks and stores for six months, to be ready for a start at any time. The Massilia (Penrnsular and Oriental Company's new steamer) accomplished her first voyage from Malta to Alexandria and back to Malta in some hours short of seven days, including stoppage to get out a heavy cargo. The Powerful, 84, line-of-battle ship, which has been some time in dock at Chatham, undergoing preparations for her conversion to a screw steamer, has, upon examination, been found to be so very de fective that the orders for her alteration have been countermanded by the Admiralty, and she is to be put out of dock. The line-of-battle sailing ship Bombay, 84, now attached to the reserve at Devonport, has been se lected to undergo the necessary alterations required to convert her to a screw steamship, and will be sent to Chatham Dockyard for that purpose, when she will occupy the dock vacated by the Power ful, 84. The Trincomalee, 24, one of the sailing frigates at Chatham designed by the Admiralty to be used as training ships for the Naval Coast Volunteers, is to be fitted for that service, and, when completed, ill be sent to one of the ports on the eastern coast of England. '1 he Victoria, 121, screw, steamed out of Ports mouth harbour yesterday and proceeded outside the Nab Light vessel on the contractors' trial of her machinery. The engine and boilers wozked in a satisfactory manner. To-day she will make her official trial trip at the measured mile in Stokes Bay. The Medusa, 4, paddle, Commander W. Bowden, arrived at Spithead early on Sunday morning, from Sierra Leone, touching at Teneriffe, Madeira, and Ferrol, repairing damages to her rudder in the latter port. She brought home three passengers and a few supernumeraries. At Madeira she landed a case of small-pox. Her crew have been healthy throughout the commission. She awaits orders at Spithead. The crew of the guardship of steam ordinary Wellington, 72, Capt. Robinson, in Hamoaze, were paid wages on Thursday, in the presence of Rear- Admiral Superintendent Sir Thomas S. Pasley, and obtained leave of absence. The crew of the gunnery ship Cambridge, Capt. Arthur J. W. Jerningham, in Hamosie, were paid wages on Thursday, in the presence of Capt. Wood ford J. Williams, of the flagship Royal Adelaide, and granted leave of absence. The ships in Plymouth Sound attached to the Channel squadron crossed topgallant and royal yards on Thursday and got in boats. The screw steamship Trafalgar, 90, Captain E. G. Fan shawe, and the Centurion, 80, Captain H. B. Rogers, C. 8., made sail in the afternoon, and pro ceed for Portland with a fresh breeze from south east. The screw steam-frigate Diadem, 32, Capt. Cockburn, followed them in the evening. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamvessel Pluto, 4, Lieut. and Commander Cortland H. Simpson, ar rived at Woolwich on Saturday, to be stripped and paid off, having been two years in commission on the West Coast of Africa. The paddlewheel steam storeship Dee, 4, Master Commander J. C. Pullen, from Woolwich, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday morning, with boilers for the Howe, 121, and machinery, and was taken into Keyham-yard in the afternoon. The paddlewheel steam-frigate Terrible, 21, Capt. H. H. Glasse, C. 8., left Plymouth on Saturday for the Mediterranean. Several of the crew are absent ; the vacancies were filled from the flagship Impreg nable. The screw steamship bonegal, 101, Capt. Henry Broadhead, sailed from Plymouth on Friday, for Spithead, calling at Portland. The screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, Capt. H. J. Lacon, was taken out of the Queen's dock at Key ham on Friday, and moored in the basin, where she got up steam, to prove her boilers, on Satur day. The flag of Rear-Admiral Sir C. Fremantle was hoisted on Saturday. The Admiral was ex pected at Devonport in the evening. The screw steam-frigate Euryalus, 51, Capt. J. W. Tarleton, from the eastward, arrived in Ply mouth Sound yesterday morning. On Friday morning a court-martial assembled on board rtby he,r ship to Pr Majesty'seut. sit T i h p omas Simeon, of her Ma- Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, Perseverance, on the following charges : Ma jesty's asa:r —l. For having, on or about the 16th of February, 1860, been guilty of neglect of duty, while officer of the watch at sea, by playing at quoits on the lee side of the poop, and for having been guilty of falsehood or gross prevarication by saying that he was not playing at quoits, 2. For having, on or about the 19th of February, been off deck in his watch to the neglect of his duty, and in disobe dience of the special orders of Commander Power, his commanding officer. 3. That on or about the 19th of February he was guilty of falsehood in tell ing Commander Power that he had not shut the commander's cabin door, when he had done so. The members of the Court comprised :—Rear-Admiral Hon. G. Grey, President ; Captains R. Harris, R. S. Hewlett, C. 8., T. Wilson, J. U. Strange, R. Coote, J. Raton, E. W. Vansittart, D. M: Macken zie, and Mr. W. J. Hellyar, Deputy Judge Advo cate. The defence was read by the prisoner's friend, Mr. Hoskins, in which the attention of the Court was called to the fact of his having been recently tried and acquitted on charges preferred against him by Commander Power, and he emphatically denied having been guilty of any act of falsehood in his replies to Commander Power. The defence was of some length, and at its conclusion a number of cer tificates of service were handed in by the prisoner, and read the Deputy Judge Advocate. The pri soner no witnesses. Th e sen t ence o f t h e Court read by the Deputy Judge Advocate, to wascalled the effect that the Court, after maturely and deli berately weighing the evidence for th e p rosecu ti on and defence, and also what the prisoner had to say in his defence, found that the first charge had been partly proved, inasmuch as the prisoner had been guilty of neglecting his duty in throwing quoits when officer of the watch ; but the Court ac• quitted him of any intentional falsehood or preva rication. The second charge was proved, and the third charge not proved. The sentence of the Court was that the prisoner be dismissed her Majesty's ship Perseverance, and be placed at the . bottom of the lieutenant's list. The announcement which appeared in The Run on Friday last, of the defective state of the gun vessel and mortar boats undergoing- a careful survey at Chatham Dockyard, merely described the condition of those vessels so far as could be ascertained at tlie time that report was written. The survey of the two mortar vessels numbered 30 and 32, in the first dock has, however, been con. tinned, the result showing that the statement pre viously given in The .Sun conveys but a very modi fied description of the actual state of those vessels as ascertained from an extended examination of their timbers and frames. Both these mortar ves sels were built about five years since towards the close of the Russian war, and were constructed by contract at private establishments, without, as it would now appear, even the slightest supervision on the part of the Admiralty to insure that good workmanship and sound materials were used. Not standing the short time they have been built, and the fact that they have seen little or no service, the materials of both the vessels are found so seriously rotten and the boats altogether so defective that on the receipt of the report made by the dockyard officials directed to survey them the Lords of the Admiralty forwarded an order to Chatham Dock yard for both the vessels to be broken up, their condition being such as to render them altogether unfitted for any service whatever. Not only are some of the timbers-liberally marked- with "sap," but, from certain unmistakeable symptoms now ex hibited, this fact must have been known to the builders at the time, and yet, extraordinary as it may appear, there would seem to have been no supervision nor controlling power on the part of the Admiralty to prevent the gross deception and the scandalous fraud perpetrated. The two mortar vessels which have been ordered to be broken up at Chatham Dockyard were taken, we believe, pro miscuously from the squadron of that class of ves sels lying in Hoo Creek and hauled up at the dock yard, and as the first two thus selected for survey are found to be so rotten as - to require to be taken to pieces, fears are naturally entertained lest the greater, if not the whole, of that costly fleet of gun and mortar vessels will not, upon survey, prove equally unfit for further service, and at a time, too, when the aspect of affairs leads to the supposition that their services may be required at no distant date. A further course of experiments is ordered to be entered into in the gun-factories at Woolwich with cast-iron guns, hooped on Sir Wm. Armstrong's principle. They are to be fired with increased charges until they are destroyed, so as to ascertain the extent of their endurance, and also to decide the practicability of the principle at present consi dered by officers of the army and navy to be ex tremely doubtful, from the result of the late trial and failure of one of the guns under proof, as noti fied in The Sun. The attempt to strengthen cast iron guns by means of wrought-iron hoops, suitable to the new principle of rifling, is stated to be very questionable policy, as a comparison as to price has proved that they cost nearly as much :as the genuine Armstrong, and will consume about au equal amount of time to manufacture, and will un dergo but comparatively little use, while the latter may be considered as everlasting. The gun facto ries are now at work night and day on a prodi gious scale forging the Armstrong guns of all sizes, from 6 to 100-pounders. It is expected that 1,200 guns, chiefly of the larger description, will be made this year. During the nine months since the fac- tory has been in operation 48 complete batteries of field artillery have been turned out and equipped for service, as well as 200 40-pounders for naval use, besides a large number of 100-pounders in progress of manufacture, and which will be ready for use by the Ist of August next. THE ARMY. The Ist division of the Ist battalion 22d Regi ment, consisting of about nine officers and 260 men, under the command of Major George Robinson,left Dublin on Saturday, for Cork, to embark on board her Majesty's screw steamship Alegtera, 6, for con veyance to Malta, there to await the arrival of the head-quarter division, under the command of Col. Harding, C.B. The 2d division will sail as soon as tonnage can be provided for it. The I Battery of Artillery is about to leave Nor wich Barracks for Woolwich. The 10th Regiment now quartered at Devonport has received orders to proceed to Aldbrshott. The first battalion of the 11th Foot, stationed at Portsmouth, will be presented with new colours by Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., commanding the south-west district, on Southsca-common, about the Ist of June. Major-Gen. Douglas has reviewed the East Nor folk Militia at Southtown, Great Yarmouth. The regiment, which musters between 500 and 600 rank and file, presented a creditable appearance. The East Essex Militia, under the command of Lieut.-Col. E. H. M. Kelly, assembled at Colches ter last week. A considerable number of men have enlisted in the line, and there are consequently some defaulters. The First Devonshire Regiment of Militia assem bled last week for 28 days' training at St. Thomas's barracks, Exeter,under the command of Lieut.-Col. Ferguson Davie, M.P. The total number of the force is 547, and the men are reported to have a very soldier-like appearance. The 2d Regiment of Royal Surrey Militia assem bled at Guildford last week for 28 days' training. The force consists of 36 sergeants, 33 corporals, 10 drummers, and 291 privates, besides the commis sioned officers. When the muster-roll was called it was found that there were only 19 absentees. The men assemble daily for practice in the cricket ground near the railway station. The regiment is under the command of Col. the Earl of Lovelace. The Royal Bucks Regiment of Militia assembled last week at High Wycombe for 28 days' training. The force consists of about 800 men. The Royal Monmouthshire Regiment of Militia assembled at Monmouth last week for 27 days' training, under the command of Lieut.-Col. J. F. Vaughan. The Hertfordshire Regiment of Militia marched into Hertford last week, under the command of Colonel the Marquis of Salisbury. The regiment consists of 23 sergeants, 11 corporals, and 382 pri vates. The Royal Cornwall and Devon Miners Regi ment of Militia assembled last week at Truro for 27 days' training, under the command of Col. Sir John Colman Rashleigh. About 180 men, nearly the full complement of the Regiment, answered when the muster-roll was called. The first Worcestershire Regiment of Militia are undergoing an active drill of six hours a-day. Four companies have been on duty for six days and they will forthwith be succeeded by four other compa nies. The companies under drill have been inspected by Lord Lyttelton, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and a most favourable report of their pro gress has been nrulc. The Leicester s hire Militia assembled for training on the 27th ult. The muster roll of all ranks is 898, 77 privates only being absent. Col. Marriott, the officer commanding the Royal Artillery in the northern district, inspected the Nor thumberland Artillery Militia in Tynemouth-garri son on Friday and Saturday last. On Saturday the regiment was exercised with the great guns, form ing the modern defence of the Castle and the port of Tyne. The Ist Regiment of Militia is under orders to assemble at Chester Castle to-day. The South Devon Militia assembled for 27 days' training on the 30th of April at their depot at Mut ley, one mile distant on the north, and ma rc h e d into Plymouth fully equipped, about five o'clock in the afternoon, under the command of the Col.-Com mandant Lord Churston. The regiment occupies Milibay Barracks, the cfacerN are in billets, and the PTiICE 4 D . STAMPED. SD. mess establishment is in a hired house, furnished by the South Devon Militia, the complete appoint ments bring the property of the regiment. The drills, including a course of musketry, have been entered upon with vigour. Lord Churston is on parade throughout every drill. THE VO.LU.NTEER. _ _ --,t- - The return of better weather for drifling and the approach of the time when her Majesty intends holding a grand review of all the metropolitan regiments in Hyde Park, seem to have stimulated the activity of the new levies to the utmost. There is scarcely a day in the week on which some one of more of the London corps do not assemble in the evening either for drill or marching out, and every week shows a marked improvement in the solidity and ease with which the evolutions are gone through. The London Brigade, the Westminster, three or four of the various Surrey corps, the West Middlesex, the Scottish, the Victoria, and others have already made great progress, and will require but a few days of steady brigade drill to make them almost, if not quite, equal to the regular rifle regi ments in the service. To civilians, who have gene rally regarded a soldier's drill and discipline as a sort of mystery only to be overcome by years of practice, the really astonishing proficiency attained by most of the volunteers after a few months' drill seems unaccountable. In truth, however, there is nothing in the whole range of squad, company, or regimental drill which is not within the compass of the most ordinary minds; and when it is recollected that 19-20ths of the me tropolitan volunteers are young men of intelligence and education, who are not only willing but anxious to master their new duties, the rapidity of their progress will be no matter of surprise. In all re lating to ability or will to learn the volunteer is so superior as to be removed from all standard of comparison with the ordinary run of common sol diers, and in this lies the secret of the apparent ease with which they have advanced. No day has yet, we believe, been named, for the grand review by her Majesty in Hyde Park, but it is generally understood that it will not take place before the middle or end of June. A kind of grand rehearsal will, however, take place on the evening of Friday, the 18th of this month, in Hyde Park, when most of the regiments will go through brigade drill, and it is to be hoped that this will not be the only mus ter of the kind attempted before the great event of the summer comes off. As is seen every month at Aldershot, the best drilled regiments in the service find they have much to learn when they come to work in brigades, and the drill of the barrack•yard, though essential in "setting up" and giving steadi ness to a regiment, is only the first step to that final proficiency which con be gained alone by drilling in brigades and acting in the field in conjunction with masses of other troops. There is yet sufficient time intervening to hold at least three brigade field-days on Saturday afternoons in Hyde Park before the review takes place, and it would be unfortunate if, from neglect of these opportunities, any contretemps should occur in the performance of the state programme. The latter, it is understood, will not be very intricate or elaborate, though sufficiently com plex to prove, if creditably gone through, that a sound foundation has been laid, and one from which, in the course of another twelvemonth, the most per fect results may be anticipated. Of one thing the Volunteers may rest assured, and that is that their appearance and evolutions before the Queen will be regarded throughout the country as the test of their efficiency, and the very universality of the interest which is felt in their success will natu rally lead to a most e:Yreful scrutiny of all their movements. The reputation which will he gained on that day by the best drilled regiments will be second only in degree to the fame of the corps which shall show the highest number of good marks men at the rifle compet ion in July. At the review in lly-de Park all regiments throughout the king dom can attend if they arc so pleased, and intimate their intention, through their commanding officer ; but - , of course, from the distance to travel, and other inconveniences, it is not likely that any but the regiments of the metropolitan counties will be pre sent, excepting probably the corps of the two Uni versities. Saturday was a very busy day with the Volun teers, who were drilling in large and small bodies every where. The West Middlesex and Scottish, headed by their bands, marched out, and the West minster assembled to keep the ground in front of the Horse Guards, while the London Brigade was inspected and reviewed by the hake of Cambridge. As this inspection excited considerable curiosity the Westminsters found they had their work to do, and their most successful efforts only enabled them to define the line which ought to have been kept, but across which almost imaginary boundary the crowd kept surging every minute. Apparently the Volun teers had no terrors for the crowd, which their curiosity was not able easily to overcome, for certain it is that the line was more or less invaded every minute, till a few Life Guaids made their appearance, and succeeded in restoring something like order. There was an immense concourse of spectators by five o'clock, and all the roofs and windows of the surrounding build ings were thronged with ladies and gentlemen. A little before 5 o'clock the London Brigade, 1,200 strong, marched on to the ground and took up their position along three sides of the parade. Their movements were steady and soldierlike, and if any came with the expectation of laughing at the awkwardness of the Volunteers they must have been entirely disappointed. When the Duke of Cambridge with his aides de-camp came on the ground, after a brief inspection by his Highness the brigade was put through a few of the ordinary manoeuvres, such as marching in open columns of companies, in slow, quick, and double time, chang ing front, &e. In these marches, especially at double time, when the companies wheeled by the left, there was a good opportunity of judging ,of their steadiness of drill, and with scarcely an ex ception the movement was performed in a manner that reflected the utmost credit on the brigade. In some companies perhaps where the same regularity was not exhibited, we believe it was caused as much by over-anxiety to execute the movement quickly and welras from any other cause. In advancing in line the whole movement was admirable, and was cheered by the crowd with enthusiasm. After a few more evolutions the brigade formed in hollow square, enclosing the Commander-in-Chief and the officers of the regiment, to whom his Royal High ness in a few words expressed his great satisfaction at the appearance of the regiment, and with the proficiency which it had attained in its drill. The brigade then formed in sections of four, and, headed by their band, marched back to the playground of Christ's Hospital, where it had assembled previous to marching to the park. A meeting of the commanding officers of London Volunteer regiments took place on Friday last, with a view to arranging the details of the rehearsal on the 18th inst. The prospectus has been issued of the London and South African Bank, with a capital of £400,000, in shams. The list of directors comprises members of some of the leading houses connected with the Cape trade. Th e head office is to be iu London, and the branches will be in Cape Town, Graham's Town, Port Elizabeth, and the colony of Natal. Banking business has hitherto been im peded in the colony by doubts as to the legality of any rate of interest higher than 6 per cent. ; but that question- has just been definitively and satisfactorily settled by a judg ment to the effect that the trade in money is entirely free. The existing banking capital of the colony is small, and the natural average rate for accommodation is high. It is stated, however, that another company is about to issue a pros pectus forthwith, the proposed capital of which will be £500,000. There may be good room for one, but in the conflict of two perhaps neither may succeed. If both should be found to possess elements of strength, an immediate fi l atigmatisli livAld ate tIAQ riktiml moo. 7 T? F - C 21 : i LL LIVERPOOL, SATLvoLgyttz,; -- t1 errA6s The Royal Mail steamship Persia, Captain Ai- kins, from New York on the 26th ult., arrived here SAL at 11.15 this morning. A summary of her news, by telegraph via Queenstown, has been already published. The following steamers had arrived out :—The America, hence, at Bostom, on the 2:3d; the Aus tralasian, hence, at Portland on the 231; the Ham monia, from Southampton, at New Yet - I:, on the 23.1; and the City of Baltimore, Lenee at New York, on the 24th ult. The steamship Vig), from c,JI fcr w York, put into Halifax on the 21st ult., short of coal. AMERICA. 'Ele news is quite Uniznportant, exa , pt ca relates to the meeting of the National Democratic Conven tion at Charleston. nir2, proceedings of the first taco days were devoid of interest, hut according to the general tenour of the telegrams from Charleston they indicated a preference, on the part of a tr.3jo . rity of the members of the convention, for Senator Douglas as the nominee of the democratic party for the prcsifler.ey. Mr. Guthrie. of Kentucky, a member of Piesident Pierce's Cabinet, also ap peared to be a prominent favourite. Mr. Caleb Cashing, who had been chosen to preside over the convention, was Attorney-General during the Pierce Administration. Rumours had been current of dissensions in the Cabinet at Washington, but :they were pronounced unfounded. The Washington correspondent of the New Fork Times writes as follows :—lnformation has been received here which confirms the statements, pub lished in the New Orleans Picayune, in relation to to the efforts made by the English Government to bring the contending parties in Mexico to a settle ment. Captain Aldharn, commanding officer of the British vessels of war at Vera Cruz, .addressed a letter on the 24th March to President Juarez, con gratulating him on the glorious resistance the city offered to Miramon, and renewing the efforts made before in the name of the English Government for the establishment of peace in that distracted coun try. The Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Con stitutional Government answered in the name of Juarez, in as elaborate note, defining the position of the Constitutional Government, showing by refer ence to history that peace cannot be restored while the priests have power to conspire, as all constitu tions which have been either framed by legitimate representatives of the people, or accepted by the people themselves, have been overthrown by the priests, who will not accept anything short of su• premacy, which they aim to exercise over every thing in Mexico. The note goes on compare the conduct observed towards foreigners both by the Constitutional Government and by the reactionists, to show that the former, notwithstanding it has not been recognised by the ministers from England and France, has complied with the obligations of the coun try, and afforded protection, as far as possible, to foreigners, while the latter has committed most shock ing outrages ofevety kind ; that the Government was desirous of seeing an end put to the distracted con dition of:the country, and was ready to do every thing consistent with its duty to bring about a settle ment in which the sovereignty of the people should be acknowledged, and the great principles of civil and religious liberty be secured. The reply of Lord J. Russell to the last note of Secretary Cass on the slave trade was received by the last mail, and diseases points of international law at great length. It is very severe upon the course of the United States. The venerable Secre tary is extremely restless under the lecture read him by his lordship, but he will pay him back in his own coin with interest. President Juarez has issued a decree indemnify ing all the sufferers by the late bombardment of Vera Cruz, deriving the means for doing so from the sale of church property confiscated to the State Lust July. C TELLIGE . 2 : ;LE. The - New York money market, under the influence, of tick - ices from this side, exhibited symptoms of a more cautious feeling, and the tendency was rather towards a tighter mark2t. The supply of money was nevertheless abundant, and the demand •,s,s only moderate. Call loans ranged horn 510 to t. The weekly st::tement of the Pify banks was rega:dcd as rather untavonva;)!e. ,T;ici,t dcercesc in the specie reserve of 3rt,Gti,!...3 duds, in the deposits of 2,511,0;10 dohs., and in the I,3ans and discounts 1,470,147 dots. Sterling exchange Was in active demand for the Peria, and a large business was done by the banker, there being few commercial bills in the market. Prices in gtneral closed firm. The quotations on Loudon were 1081 to 1091; on France, 5.15 a to 5.161. The stock market had continued active, though with some check to the rapid advance in prices during the ?revious week, At the close there was a strong pressure to realise on railroad securities, and in most cases there was a slight giving way in these kiwis of securities. Erie shares and New York Central Bonds were exceptions. State Stocks were firmly held. The following were the latest quotations :—EriQ shares, 17Z- ; ditto 3d Mortgage Bonds, Si;l- ditto 4th Mortgage, 65; New York Central shares, 78a ; ditto 7 per Cent,. Bonds, 1041 ; Reading shares, 421 ; Illinois Central Bonds, 88,1 ; Pacific Mail shares, 105 ; Michigan Southern shares, guaranteed, 23q; Michigan Central shares, 471; United States Fives of '65, 102 ; Virginia Sixes, 931 ; Illinois Central shares, 60, After offi cial hours there was a tendency to improvement in the share list. Cotton was dull, and transactions light, at pre vious rates. Middling Uplands 114 c. per lb. The receipts of the week at all the Southern ports were 43,000 bales against 50,000 last year. The exports of the week to Britain were 108,000 bales. • Flour buoyant, and 5 to 10c. per barrel dearer. Wheat in good demand for export, at higher rates. Indian corn also in improved demand, at advancing prices. Freights to Britain tending downward, the offer ings (except grain, of which there had been large engagements) being very light. Cotton was taken at 3-16 d. to 7-32 d., closing at the lower rate. Rosin was taken for London at 2-3 d.; oil cake, 4 2-3 d ; bacon, 225. 6d. QUEENSTOWN, MAT (3.

A preliminary trial of Captain Blakeley's gun took place on Wednesday last, on the Crosby Sands, near Liverpool. The gun in question resembles very closely in ap pearance the cemmon broadside gun in use OR board ;hips of war, with the exception that it has a much more solid-looking breech. It weighs 45 cwt., has a bore of 8 feet 7 inches by 6 inches, and is built of castiron in concentric tubes. One of these tubes runs the whole length of the gun, the, second half the length ; the third, or breech portion, is of wrought iron. According to the manufacturer's account the outer tubes are put on in a certain state of tension, thereby giving additional strength to the inner tubes. The rifling is similar to that of the rifles of the Chasseurs des Vincennes. Captain Blakeley's object in adopting this form of gun is to place before our seamen ordnance but little different to that which they have been accus tomed, but vastly more efficient at long or short ranges, the trajectory being very low, and requir ing less powder. The iron shot or shell is of a conical shape, the base being formed of lead, and which is so agglu tinitive that it is difficult to distinguish the differ ence between the metals. When the shot is dis charged the lead expands into the rifling, the marks of which are afterwards found to be sharply de fined. The shot in its first graze leaves a thin de posit of lead on the surface of the large hole scooped out by it ; and it is evident from the appear ance of the sand that the rotatory motion is main tained up to a late period of its flight. The fire appears to fuse the lead slightly, as the shot after being discharged is covered with a thin film of the softer metal. The wooden plug placed in the orifice of the shot is invariably driven in, showing that the missile maintains its proper position during its passage through the air. The experiments on Wednesday last were not at all of a conclusive character, Captain Blakeley having yet to find out some of the peculiarities of his gun. The gun, too, was in an incomplete state, the sight not having arrived from London in time for the trial. The inventor, therefore, devoted the day to ascertaining the range of the gun. It was found that with every Ilb. increase in the charge of powder an increased range of 150 yards was ob tained, but the gun being a very light one it was judged advisable to limit the charge to 81b. Unfor tunately, in the absence of proper instruments, it was impossible to mark the time occupied by the shot. and shell in their transit.

" 1 Solid shot. - It was evident that the wads used by Captain Blukeiey were objectionable from the p articular coustruct,on of the shot. Probably the wooden disc at the base of the shot, with an elastic wad of four or five inches thick between it and the powder, was not completely shattered by the explosion. Parts or perhaps the whole of the disc hung to the shot for some distance after it left the gun, and caused an irregularity in the flight. In every case the disc was observed to strike the sand at some 200 or 300 yards from the gun. The manufacturers, Messrs. Fawcett and Pres ton, are now completing the gun, and Captain Blakeley purposes renewing his experiments on the 12th. TEE RELIGIOUS DISTURBANCES AT ST.GEORGE S-IN-THE-EAST. The religious set vices in the parish church of St. George's-in the-East wereyesterday conducted amid the same scenes of interruption which has distin-` guished them, for many months past. The rector being out of town, was in consequence not present at either of the services during the day. In the forenoon the prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Dove, whom the Bishop of London has refused to license as curate of the parish, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Blackley. There were the usual interruptions during the Litany and the reading of the commandments at the reference made to heresy and the worshipping of graven images, but other wise the morning services passed off in the usual manner. In the evening there was a large attendance, and the interruption to the service was more apparent than in the forenoon. The gates, as usual, were ' opened at twenty minutes to seven o'clock, when a large crowd of people poured in and soon filled the churdh. As usual therector's friends took possession of all the pews in the chancel and the vicinity of it, and not a little confusion arose I:revious to the com mencement of the service in a party endeavouring to get into one of them. A person who has been heard of before in connexion with these disturbances, had got himself ensconced in one of these chancel pews, and.upon a gentleman coming to seek admission into it, seeing room in it, he held the door fast and would not let him in. The gentleman pulled, and the result was that between the two the door was taken off the hinges. The general opinion is that the hinges had been injured previously, and that being subjected to a little pressure they easily yielded ; but however that might be the gentleman, who gave his name and address to the churchwarden as the accused party, was allowed to get off scot free. The prayers were read by the Rev: Mr. Gib son, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Bense, who selected as his text the eighth verse of the fifth chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans. From this text the rev. gentleman preached an elo quent and interesting sermon, but was every now and then, in the course of it, interrupted by hisses and other noises. The Rev. Mr. Dove, first kneel- S ing before the altar, ascended the steps of it for the purpose of pronouncing the apostolic benedictiOn, when he was met with a storm of yelling which drowned his voice. On his leaving the chancel the people crowded around him, and he was only saved from their rough handling by the interference of some half-a-dozen of police *ho were present. After singing the Doxology some half-a•clozen times the crowdleft the church, and the gate was closed. ~~~ , 6~ ~ r ~ -f QTIEEN ANNE'S BOUNTY. Now that the great modern societia for benevo lent and religious objects are holding their annual meetings and explaining, with more or less clear ness, their condition and progress, we take the op portunity of stating that the accounts of a more ancient and very wealthy body, the Governors of the Bounty of Queen Anne, have lately been laid before Parliament, though only as yet for 1858. We cannot say that these accounts are very clear, but anti ae,. £ s g u l n , l 3o o o f.

Credit is also given for £47,331 from mortgages paid in, and 1;16,750 from sales of laud and residence houses. Then, on the other side, it is stated that the SUM of £78,241 was " paid to the dergv" (whidi is a brief Accoant, to give of it), and a fuither sum of £54,557 for the erection or purchase of residence houses, and the purchase of tithe-rent charge. The none; - alvanced on mortgage during the year was iti&,9,00; the pur chase of stock £6,440 over and above the sales of stock. As for the expense of administering the fund, the solicitor's bill with the words,'' and ds bursements out of unappropriat,d fund," strangely tacked on to the item, is 11,285, the sue veyor has £l-18, and the general charges, including salaries, £6,113. At the foot of the accounts, in the Jeff hand corner, is a gentleman's name with the addi tion "auditor,'' but he has given no intimation of what he did. It may be that he ascertained that the vast capital is safe, and that the sums stated to have been paid to the clergy were so paid, but he says nothing, and all is left to the faith of the reader. There is no account even of the amount of the investments, or the number of livings aug mented, or the increase in either item during the pear. 1,296 524 2,834 1,668 5,986 12,917 5,930 3,006 1,182 7,277 20,535 1,529 7,.77 30,051 30,010 550 71,9t4 1,400 15,350 14.009 1,385 5,177 3,1 , 9_ 32,724 2,383 7,727 460 1,772 354 1,594 615 3,450 521 5c•3 379 762 31,170 840 2,109 3,153 10,082 3,555 2,171 7,588 40, t 55 67,773 47,793 422 1,054 15, . 97 Ver. leen- , till•, treet, itch, rick- Igest and, , the ege, the [all, 1.. of ' _,
