IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tnis DAY.) `Tho SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. _ PRIVATE BUSINESS. _ The amendments of the House of Lords on the Buildings Improvement Company Bill were agreed to. The amendments of the House of Lords on the Dorset Central Railway (Extension of Time) Bill were agreed to. The Caledonian Railway (Branches to Lanark, Sm.) Bill, was read a third time. The Forest of Dean Central Railway Bill was discharged from the paper. ST. GEORGE'S. IN-THE-EAST. Mr. KEKEWICH gave notice of his intention to ask the hon. Home Secretary on Friday next, if he had received any information relative to the disturbances which had re cently taken place at St. George's-in-the-East, and, if so, whether he had taken any step to secure the prevention of their recurrence in future? LABOURERS COTTAGES (SCOTLAND) BILL. Upon the motion of Mr. HEWITT this bill, which pro • vides for the Improvement of the cottages of farm labourers in Scotland, was considered and amended in committee. BLEACHING AND DYEING WORKS BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. An amendment on the first clause, excluding its operation from the open air linen bleaching works in Ireland and Scotland, having been mewed, Mr. CROOK opposed the amendment, contending that such a bill as this was shown by the evidence before the house on this matter, to be necessary in these bleaching establishments as well as elsewhere. Mr. PEEL DAWSON supported the amendment, on the ground that the situation of the bleach works in Ireland was extremely beastly. He contended that it would be very injurious to force this act on the Irish dyers, as the works were there set in operation by means of water wheels and to enact that they should only be in operation at certain times, would close them entirely, as the manufacturers were obliged to work their machinery when the water could be made available. He also pointed out that much of the work was performed in the open air, and was of a very healthy character. Sir H. CAIRNS supported the amendment, pointing out that it only effected linen bleach works, the employ ment in which was clearly shown by the evidence given before the committee of the house to be of a healthy character. Moreover the operatives had petitioned the house not to interfere. The effect of this bill if extended to these open air works would be to force the works to be carried on in the morning when there was no sun which was absolutely necessary to open air bleaching, and then close them when the sun was shining. It was a great advantage to the bleach work that they should bo worked by water power, which was paid for highly, and that being so must be made available at such times as it was _paasibla, it was unlike steam power which would be put in operation by the light ing of the fire at any moment, in this respect also the re striction as to time would be injurious. He also pointed out that, the works in which boys and females were em ployed was of a very light character, and far more suit able to them than other kinds of labour, and if this bill were allowed to pass in the present form, these boys and women would be discharged, and their places supplied by fewer men, and thus the children would have to go to work of a more laborious character, and far less suitable for them. Sir G. C. LE WIS thought the amendment a fair one, and in fact in accordance with the object of the bill, which was not intended, as it appeared to him, to affect open air works. He should support the amendment. [LEFT SITTING.] LAW INTELLIGENVE,-(THIS DAY.) ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT-AITKINSION V. HICKS. The question raised in this suit was whether the legacy of £3,420, given by the will of the testator, the late Mr. Cox, to the plaintiff, his niece and executrix, was an abso lute gift for her sole and separate use, not subject to any conditions or control of his trustees, or whether it formed part of his personal or residuary estate. His Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion that it was a special legacy given by the testator to the plaintiff, his niece, for her solo and separate use, and formed no part of his personal estate, and decreed accordingly. Costs of all parties out of the estate. POLICE INIELLIGEN CE--( THIS DAI .) MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

(PROM SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TIMES.) GALLE, MAY 26. For some w ks past the heat in Ceylon has been quite unprecedented. The teeming and luxuriant vegetation was burnt and brown, the grass was withered, the wells dry, and but a small supply of brackish water could be procured for man or beast. The atmosphere, close, dank, and steamy, presaged the approach of the south-west monsoon, due on the 12th of May. At length, on the evening of Sunday, the 20th, it burst with great fury, and with a per , feet cataract of rain. The Simla, with Lord Elgin and Baron Gros on board, was approaching the island at nightfall, but her prudent and vigilant commander, Captain Patterson, determined to incur no risks. He could not run for the light on such a night, so he kept her course well to the south ward, and on Monday morning, amidst driving rain and furious Fqualls, he brought her off the harbour. A Cingalese canoe will live in any weather, and a pilot was soon on board, who at 11 a.m. brought the ship safely to anchor. At noon Lord Elgin and Baron Gros landed, under salutes from the battery, on a visit to Sir Henry Ward, who had arrived from Colombo to receive them. Some 200 yards within the moorings of the Simla lay the Malabar, on board which boat we were next day to embark for China. Both vessels were announced to start at noon, but so great was the swell that the specie and cargo' could only be trans-shipped with much difficulty. The Malabar's departure was therefore postporubd until 2 p.m. The morning of Tuesday broke dark, murky, and threatening. Heavy masses of cloud were drifting up from the south-west, and soon after daylight the squalls became most violent, accompanied by a deluge of rain. Only those who have witnessed the first burst of the monsoon can form an idea of its terrible force. The wind blows in frightful gusts and in bouquets of squalls. Then comes a lull. The tempest takes breath—reculer pour niieux sautes. After each of these intervals the squalls increase in were nevermore worthily represented than by their two ambassadors, who set an example to every one. The panic is but of short duration. Thu cowards i are shamed by the quiet courage of the chiefs. 25 minutes have elapsed, and Mr. Bailey, the Penin sular and Oriental agent, with Mr. Janty, the act ing harbour-master, comes on boArd, and now the steam is up, the chief engineer having poured gal lon after gallon of oil on the coals to quicken their action. A rumour is spread that the captain is going out to sea. In truth, that was his first idea. The vessel is provided with powerful pumps, which can only be worked when the engines are going. There is no room in the harbour to steam ahead, and the captain trusts he can keep her afloat outside with the pumps, and so save ship and cargo. All hope is soon destroyed by the fearful rapidity with which the water rises. The chief engineer rushes on deck. " In the name of God, captain, don't proceed to sea ; we are in a sinking state. Beach her at once.' But the rumour gains ground, and some of the pn.sengers pester Lord Elgin with vain requests : " Will not your lordship order the boats to be low ered ?" " Will you not protest against going to sea ?" " Will you not speak to the captain ?" Lord Elgin steadily refuses to interfere with the captiiin in the discharge of his duty, but sends Col. Crealock with a message—" Lord Elgin presents his compli ments and wishes to know if you are going to sea.' " Going to sea ! we are going down." And so we are, and that visibly. Still not a boat alongside, the cargo boats having disappeared after the first bump. The quartermasters are at the helm, which they have never quitted during the wildest confusion. " Heave at the anchor." " Cheerily, men, cheerily." They work with a will, and, God be thanked, at the first revolution of the engines the screw drives her ahead. The bilge injection is set to work, but the water gains rapidly. It is up to her stern ports, The saloon and cabins are full. She is sinking fast. Will she live across the bay and reach the sandy beach ? Mr. Loch, Lord Elgin's private secretary, served in the navy in early life. He goes to the captain, and asks leave to prepare one of the quarter boats for lowering, so that if we sink in crossing there may be a chance of saving the women. Permission is readily granted, and Mr, Loch, Col. Crealock, and a few others soon have the boat ready for launching. Now we are off. The stern sinks lower and lower. luteuatr . y, arra the rain anscend. as thvujitt th. whole Heavens were opened into one sluice. The thunder bellows, peal after peal, and the lightning is blindingly vivid. Such a morning was that of the 22d when the Simla and Malabar lay side by side in the open roadstead facetiously called Galle harbour. Shortly before noon a salute from the batteries announced the departure of Sir Hugh Rose, who had arrived in the Malabar from Bombay, and who embarked in the Simla for Calcutta, to relieve Lord Clyde as Commander-in-Chief. Nearly all the Mala bar's passengers had spent the night on shore, for the noise and confusion attending the loading rendered the vessel but a sorry place for sleep. Soaked to the skin, they reached the boat between 12 and 1 o'clock. The fife was heard on board the Simla. Her anchor was soon hove up, and we gave three ringing cheers for the noble ship which had brought us so many thousand miles, as in gallant style she steamed out of harbour against the full force of the storm. Taking time by the forelock, the two Ambassadors quitted the jetty soon after 1, and 38 guns saluted the Plenipotentiaries of England and France. The Malabar had now received all her passengers. Several lighters, with cargo from the Simla, still remained tumbling and bumping along side, and it was clear that we could not start before 3 or 4 o'clock. The fires were lighted at half-past 1, but the steam was not hurried. Meanwhile the squalls increased in violence and frequency, and a very heavy swell rolled into the bay. In order to explain the accident which produced such disas trous results, I must give you a sketch of the so. called harbour of Galle. Galle harbour is formed by a bay, or inlet, about three miles wide at the mouth and about a mile and a half deep. The land runs out on the east, and would effectually protect ships anchored under its lee from north-east gales. But this portion of the bay is during the south-west monsoon exposed to the full force of the surf and swell. About half-way up the inlet stands " Watering-point," where the land juts in at a sharp angle. Thence to the Point de Galle fort is a distance of a mile and a quarter. Between the two lie reefs and large rocks, affording a slight and inefficient protection against the southerly gales. Inside, on the west, is the anchor age ground. It contains exactly 56 acres, with moorings for three steamers. Should a fourth un expectedly arrive, she must wait in the roads until a berth be vacant. The anchorage is fringed with reefs and rocks on every side. North, south, east, and west are enormous boulders, over which the surf dashes high into the air, or more dangerous hidden reefs. Some are revealed by the.broak of the swell, while others are 10 to 16 feet under water, and give no sign of their existence. To the south west angle of, and about 300 yards beyond, the an chorage ground lies the Beluvaka or Hospital reef. It is some 700 feet long, and 150 wide, the depth of water varying from four feet in the centre to 18 on the tail. The rocks are coral, sharp and pointed. It was on this reef we struck. The " China berth" is at the south-west angle of the anchorage. There lay the Malabar, an iron-built ship of 1,080 tons, and just two years old. She was built in five compartments, two abaft and two be fore the engine, which formed the fifth. She was anchored, her head nearly south, with one best bower 30-cwt. anchor. Astern was the usual moor ing anchor, with a 10-inch hawser. Her draught of water was 15 feet 6 inches aft, and 13 feet 6 inches forward. She arrived from Bombay at 10 a.m. on Sunday, and was moored in her berth by one of the regular pilots, Daviot by name. This pilot was on board on the 22d, for the purpose of taking the ship out of harbour. " Keep your eye on that mast," quietly remarks an old sailor tome; "I don't expect we shall get across, and if we sink it may be above water." At length we reach the sand. Let go the anchors. She swings, and the order is given to go astern ; but at the first revolution the engines are brought up standing. The broken hawser is round the screw I Had it twisted the other way, we could never have gone ahead. We veer cable, and she is quietly beached on the sand, stern first. It is high time. A little longer and the water is in the engine-room. The ship's boats are now lowered. So great is the swell that to lie alongside is a work of danger. There aro some 20 vessels in port, but two only send boats. The first (English) is swamped in the heavy surf. The other (French) gets under the ladder and fills, but the men are active, and quickly bale her out. Both have their skippers on board. Let their names be recorded, for well they deserve it. The Englishman is Peter Upton, commanding the barque Waverley, of New- Castle. The Frenchman is Ch. Messemaccher, Capi taine au Long Cours, and his ship is the Paul Auguste, of Dunkirk. Lord Elgin and Baron Gros despatched Mr. Loch and the Comte de Bastard to thank them in the name of their respective Govern ments, and sure UM I that all England will second that vote of thanks. But we must return to the wreck, where all is prepared for saving the women. During the whole scene, midst the wildest excite ment, the ladies behave most nobly. No shriek is heard, and, though a few tears are shed, there is neither confusion nor dismay. To get them into the boats is no easy matter, but happily it is con cluded without accident, one boat receiving them on the starboard, another on the pert quarter. Push off, land there quickly, and return to the ship. But here are two men on the starboard gangway attempting to escape in the women's boat, which is full enough already. The officer on duty pushes them back, but they are not to be repulsed. They slip past him, and leap—the first for the stern, where he tumbles among the ladies and nearly cap sizes the boat ; the second for the bow, which he misses, and takes a header right into the water. There I should have left him, but the sailors are more compassionate, and haul him in, quite drenched and half killed with fright. Neither of these men is English or French—the first is an American skipper, the second a Dutch engineer. And now boats arrive from the shore, and the Governor's barge is among them. But Lord Elgin will not quit the vessel until every passenger is saved. One after another he sees them over the side, and at length steps into the barge with Baron Gros, the attaches of the two embassies, and the writer of this letter. We look at the stern, which is all but level with the water, and cease to wonder at the narrow escape of Mr. Giffard, one of the passen gers. He went to his cabin to recover something for his wife. A sea dashed through the port, filled the cabin, closed the door, and but for the venetian blinds which give egress for the water into the saloon he would have been drowned like a rat in a hole. We pull for the jetty, where the ambassadors land, sorely shorn of their glory, but having shown under the most trying circumstances a rare example of courage and steadfastness. And now we begin to look about us, and ascertain our loss. Except the few things which were taken on shore the previous night, all is in the hold, and cannot be reached. Both Lord Elgin and Baron Gros have lost their credentials, their instructions, and all their more important papers. Lord Elgin's Orders of the Thistle and the Bath lie " full fathom five." Baron Gros is minus a very considerable sum he took out in speeie for the expenses of his mission, and a large service of plate. Two newly married couples have lost their t 7 osseaux, their pre sents, and the home reminiscences given to the ladies before starting on their distant journey. But one portmanteau has been saved by either. As for mysel!, I got wet through going on board in a squall; and, finding every particle of my luggage thrust into the hold, I borrowed a dry shirt and trousers of a friend, who afterwards had the satis faction of seeing ine saved in his garments. My kit for joining the army in China would have de lighted the soul of Sir Charles Napier, and gained the approval of Lord Clyde. it consists of a tooth brush, comb, shirt collar, and shoehorn. I have not even saved the piece of soap. All the rest —books and papers, letters and maps, woollens and linens, waterproofs and bedding, have gone to the bottom. And now a few words on a subject which causes great complaint, the treatment of passengers' luggage in the Peninsular and Oriental boats. A rule exists, that during the mazy transhipments occurring between England and China, luggage marked " Cabin" shall be taken to the cabin, while the remainder goes down to the hold. An officer on board each ship is charged with the duty of see ing this rule carried Atte execution. But, like many other excellent regulations, it exists only on paper, and is utterly disregarded in practice. Not one single article marked " Cabin" reached its pro per destination on board the Malabfir last Tuesday. Everything was bundled down the hold, and when the ladies came off drenched to the skin they had no means of procuring a change of dress. 'I he few articles which the passengers took ashore from the Simla were saved, as saloon and cabins were accessible for some time. Had due regard been paid to this rule, Lord Elgin would have preserved his credentials, his instructions, and his decorations; which were all in a box properly marked. Had proper respect been paid to the orders of Mr. Bailey, the Peninsular and Oriental agent, super added to the rule, 'your correspondent would have saved his letters and papers together with much I I valuable property. In excuse for this negligence it is stated that 24 hours only are allowed at Galle by the Admiralty agent for transhipment of mails, bullion, and cargo, and this in the frightful weather of last Tuesday. The officers are therefore only too glad to get the luggage on board and arrange it after star The But such an excuse is utterly unavailing. M China luggage was placed on the Simla:sd t ec ha k u 24 t 1 hours before our arrival. Wha t morn easy arrange the packages marked " Cabin" ir, on e mass, About half-past two o'clock the Malabar's com mander, Captain Grainger, goes to his cabin for a change of clothes. He is hardly there when, sud denly and without a moment's notice, comes a terrific squall from the north-east. It sweeps across the bay, and strikes the Malabar on her port side causing her to heel completely over, The mosring hawser snaps, and she swings round head to wind, completely reversing her former position. Then comes a shock which shakes the vessel from stem to stern ; a second, which brings the saloon sky light crashing into the cabin. Again, again, again, and lamp after lamp is shivered to pieces. We are on the reef, and the rocks are smashing in our plates ono after another. Captain Grainger is on th• bridge—the engineer at his post, but the steam is not up, and the ship crashes and crunches with every swell. The pumps are sounded, and give three feet and a half water in the after compart ment. Five minutes later and five feet are an. flounced. Our position is most critical ; not a boat alongside—not one of the ship's boats ready for launching. Before us is the bay with its roaring swell ; behind, at 400 yards distance, the fort, with the sea dashing over the rocks which jut into the water, and breaking in tremendous spray right against the parapet wall. The wind still keeps from the north ; if it does not shift, but a few minutes and all will be over. Hold on by the anchor—let it drag but six feet and the engine compartment will be smashed to pieces. Let those heavy engines descend with all their weight on these pointed rocks, and our vessel must split in two. A double danger then awaits us. We shall be blown into the air by collapse of the boilers, or down we shall go among the sharks and the breakers. The anchor holds. The squall abates, the wind goes back to the south. She swings clear of the reef. But now commences a new peril. The after compartments are filling fast, and she is visibly settling by the stern. The water rushes into the tunnel and indi cates seven feet in the hold. Unless steam be got up, down she must go, stern first, in a very few minutes. A panic seizes some—happily but a few — of the passengers. A rush is made to the boats. If they be launched, the Lascar crew will refuse to work, and in the general rush they will be sunk or stove in. Quietly seated on the poop, Lord Elgin is conversing with his usual tranquillity. Some few days before our arrival he remarked to me that Galle was an unpropitiou s p lace for him, as the re he first heard the new s of the Indian mutiny i n 1857. " Absit omen" was my reply ; but in the very height of the crash, amid the howlin g wind and the kissing sea, he asks if I remember what he told me about Galle. Baron Gros nobly seconds his colleague. He is cool and collected as though walk ing on the Boulevards, and England and France Docks. Share sto^k Commercial lOO stock Do. 4 per Cent Pref.
