MONEY MARKET AND COMIYIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'Ceocie. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has bean very quiet, the intervention of the Whitsun holidays ha ving delay e d t o some extent the public sales. goat of th e l ead i ng articles have exhibited a slight wryward tendency in prices. Tea has been very quiet, without the slightest change to notice in , v , al ue- Sugar has declined about G per cwt., al 'uengh good qualities maintain their previous val ues. For coffee there has been a steady inquiry, and flue coloury q ua liti es o f p l an t a ti on C ey l on h ave realised full rat es . I n rum very f ew d ea li ngs cave been reported ; and rice is flat, the transac tions entered into comprising a few lots for home ,ennaUmption at about previous rates. Saltpetre rea lises full values, and holders are very firm. For Indigo there has been some inquiry, at about last sales' rates ; and the public auctions of colonial Wool have proceeded with rather more animation, ~1 411 c nanalities of Sydney wools being in i ncrease d "ribald at a slight improvement in prices. T a ll ow • continuesa firm. P.Y. C., on the spot, is 53 5 . 9d. ; 'lll3' to September, 51 s . 6d. ; an d l ast th ree months, 51 c. to 51s. 3d. Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices of all the Railway Share Market business was dull, and quotations were rather lower. It Was asserted in the American advices received Yeat erday that o r d ers were b e i ng sen t t o E ng l an d a nd France for various articles of manufacture ; and, moreover, statements have been recently cir culated as a reason why gold was lately transmitted to Paris that speculators hero were purchasing articles of French production. Whether this be tru e or not is difficult to determine; but certain it Is that advices from most parts of France still com plain of the extreme depression of trade. In the nl anufacturing towns particularly there seems to be itlah distress, and the weekly railway traffic returns Prove, most conclusively, that goods and produce are being moved from one part to another in very small quantities. This is given as the chief cause the depres s i on o f th e F rench funds, which cer iainly, if c on t ras t e d w i th the current quotations of I le 3 per Cent. Consols, seem forced almost to the va • lue of the national securities of a country greatly Inferior to France, both commercially and politi elllY considered. Occasional symptoms of revival are experienced but they are spasmodic in their k▪ lsaracter, and the trading interest appear to re tard the prevailing inactivity as chronic. When, „ °we ver, due c ons id era ti on i s pa i d to the events of o le last f ew months, showing the results of years b i ndiscretion, th roug h t ra d e b e i ng forced Yulad its n a t ura l li m i ts, no surprise need be felt at the existing state of things, especially as the inlu n ierce of Engl an d, th e U n it e d St a t es , S ou th 1 414e riea, and A us t ra li a are a ll suffering from simi lar consequences. It 3 is stated th a t the N e w Brazilian Loan of ;:uOO,OOO/. will be issued in 4i per Cents. at the of 246. At that quotation the amount will n 0 doubt be readily subscribed.

The ftsierve fund was now 104,792/. 2s. Bd. The chair llan stated th a t th e b ank was not a loser by the late• crisis, nor had Ireland been in any way affected "I it so as to cause the accommodation to custo 14cra to be diminished. The report led to some "▪ Iseusaion, but it was adopted unanimously. „ T he meeti ng o f th e Recife, (tac , Railway Com ''4llY, held this day, was again adjourned. 0 The F un d s are fl at and the transactions continue t he same limited scale as for some days past. 1 4 the moment the tendency of prices is unfavour ail: rr Spite of the influx of gold into the Bank, the ether favourable indications.

SPORTING NOTES. THE DERBY DOINGS AND MEMS, ON MANCHESTER. People are already becoming bored by the Derby. They are wearied of the elaborate descriptions of the race which have appeared in nearly every journal, and their patience is worn out by the tedious sameness which characterises all the "graphic accounts" which have filled the newspaper columns. I shall not, therefore, long harp on the mouldy string of events which marked the Epsom meeting, and I shall merely touch lightly upon the most prominent incidents. A small newspaper —save the mark—now before me, states the grave fact that the Darby was the principal event of the week, and that Beadsman "did the knowing ones" and came in first. Now really, perhaps, that is, after all, quite enough to know, and in my opinion ignorance of the other details would be really bliss. I must, however, if merely for the sake of appearances enter learnedly into a discussion of some of the items of sport. Well, on Tuesday Zuyder Zee stalled off Saunterer who has become an incorrigible rogue, and the success of the " Z de" caused East Lang ton a useful second class horse to be advanced to a pro minent place in the betting. Zuyder Zee was, by the way, sold at Tattersall's yesterday for 1,000 guineas, and for stud purposes he will perhaps prove worth the purohase money. Mr. Howard made a great mistake with his lot and his " book" must have been at last rather complicated and difficult to understand. Eclipse was not the horse we saw at Newmarket, for although he looked wonderfully fit his recent hard work has evidently " told " upon him. As for Sedbury with whom Mr. Howard declared to win, ho never had the remotest chance of bearing the " black jacket and orange cap" to the front. The names of the winners and losers have already been paraded before the public, and I only take this opportunity of referring to them to express my satisfaction that so old and respected a member of the ring as Mr. J. Morris should at )eat bo rowardod eftor his long series of ill luck by a fair share of Fortune's favOurs. John Scott seems destined to disappointment in his attempts to win a Derby for the present Premier. The care and anxiety which the preparation of Tozopholite must have cost him were rendered deeper by the horse's defeat, and I never saw "John" look so crestfallen as he did whilst talking to his noble patron after the race. The correctness of his judgment was, however, fully attested by the running of " Tox.," and he was cer tainly justified in not anticipating serious danger from Sir Joseph's black 'on. Why people should have backed Ethiopian in the way they did I am at a loss to imagine, for the horse when stripped seemed as fat and lusty as a cart-horse. His time, however, may come for the St. Leger. Tom Dawson made little mistake with The Hadji, whose success would have caused the opening cf another Wolverhanapten bank. Clever j edges and shrewd tacticians like Messrs. Barber and Saxon were most unaccountably deceived by Ancient Briton, who, instead of fulfilling the promise of his two-year-old form, has grow❑ into an ugly cab-horse. The Oaks will be memorable fJr its dead heat, and for Gildermira's nearly repeating Eilington's never to be forgotten Dee and Derby performances. Tom Dawson at any rate means mischief for both the Derby and Oaks. The result of the race on Friday proves, in my opinion, that the fillies are this year very inferior to the colts. The settling will be concluded this afternoon ; many accounts have, however, already been squared, and the promptitude wits which all claims have been met is alike honourable to backers and bookmakers. The Manchester men wid hold their annual " car nival" to-morrow and the two following days, and the Castle Irwell estate will be crowded wish quite a Darby day concourse of people. Tae programme presents a formidable appearance, and if it LIMN its prowiJe there will be no lack of spirit - . Wardermarske and Cbildrey have as many claims to notica as any animal nominated for the Trafford Handicap, and I shall be much die appointed if one of them do not prove the winner. East Langton will have to meet either Tuns:ali Maid or Gil- derinire, •r perhaps both these fillies for the Eighth Pro- duce Stakes, and I shall expect him to produce the truth of the statement made above—that the fillies are inferior to the colts, For the Union Cup tho chancey of Strathnaver, Cots. wold, and The Hadji, appear most to my fancy. Polly Johnson may win the Phillip Handicap, and Rainbow will, perhaps, win the Sapling Sakes. One of Mr. T. Parr's noreinations—Stcckbolui and Joyeuse—will carry off the Two , yrs-old Race It would be absurd to refer to the handicap events for the second and third day, for the runn►ng for them will be materially regulated by the result of tomorrow's racing. A FREBII MAN. TATT ERSALLS'—MoNDAT. The custom of appointing two settling days for the Derby would be certainly more honoured in the breach than in the observance. Racing men have long expe rienced its inconvenience, for it rather delays than facili tates the business of paying and receiving. Until this day (Tuesday) the "winding up act" will not be fully enforced ; bat yesterday many heavy accounts were cloed. If the absenee of conuplaiets be any criterion a more satisfactory settling could not have taken place. Money changed hands.. with really a marvellous rapidity, and the promptitude with which bookmakers met all claims upon them attested the great pecu niary strength of " the ring," whilst the readiuese which backers of horses generally evinced " to part," showed that the public are, perhaps, after all, the largest winners by the result of the Derby and Oake. Sir J. Hawley, the owner of Beademan, gain., it is esti mated, 50,000/., whilst his personal friends and the sup porters of the stable throw in for large sums, for Sir Joseph made no secret cf the relative merits of his two horses ; Wells, the jockey, stood with hire 1000 to 10 about both. The bookmakers, with few exceptions, are heavy losers on both Derby and Oaks; Mr. J. B. Morris and !,Ir. F. Swiedells aro the principal members of the ring who have won large sums ; whilst Mr. J. Smith, who landed so good a stake with Vanity, for the Cheaer Cup, is the most unfortunate representative of the " losing division." Mr. Jackson, Mr. Spittle, and other partisans of " Tom " Dawson's stable, were within an ace of obtaining an immense sum of money; for they ran third for the Derby with The Iladji, and second and third for the Oaks with Gildermire and Tunstall Maid. I As many persons unacquainted with racing men have bee❑ curious to know " what Davis did," we may state that a long and severe illness has prevented the "levia than speculator" from attending a race-course or taking any active part in turf pursuits since last autumn. Mr. Davis was at Brighton, and had, we believe, no bete on the race. Further remarks on the settling would be premature until after the last scene of all connected with the Derby of 1858 be played out at the corner this day (Tuesday). Little attention was directed to speculation on coming events, and the subjoined very scanty list of prices re quires no comment.

NEW VESSELS LONGER THAN THE LEVIATHAN.—WhiIe public attention has been attracted so strongly by the unusual dimensions of the Leviathan that the name of that vessel is in everybody's mouth, it happens singu larly enough that two vessels of greater leogtb, and of a snore remarkable character, have been advancing to completion in Liverpool without the general public being oven cognisant of their existence. These vessels are each 700 feet long. They have been constructed by Messrs. Vernon and Son, fur the Oriental Inland Steam Company, and are intended for the naviga tion of the Indian rivers. The purpose cf their peculiar features of construction, is to enable a large cargo to be carried at a good rate of speed upon a light draught of water. The great rivers of India, though penetrating far into the interior, and though containing large volumes of water, are, nevertheless, shallow during the dry season. The vessels navigating them must, therefore, float very light, and yet they mast have displacement enough to carry a good cargo. They must have strength enough not to suffer injury if they should get to theetagro water a aground, and to th be ableeymust ptrocasecnhtiesvaect a h satinitttle resistance factory rate of progress against the stream. All these indications are admirably fulfilled in these vesitAfe.— Limpool 41bign. WHITSUNTIDE AMUSEMENTS, PRINCESS'S THEATRE, The extraordinary popularity achieved by Mr. Charles Kean's first performance of King Lear "has increased, is increasing, an.l ought not to be diminished," Of suc'n a consummation, however, there is as little likelihood as of the universal adoption of the Maine liquor law, the restoration of Mr. Smith to Cannon-row, or any prodi gious event equally far remote from the bounds of pro babiLty. Each succa,7sive representation serves but to confirm the general opinion, that by his embodiment of this most sublime of Shakespeare's tragic conceptions, our great actor has attained the topmost round, and woo an enduring renown as bright and solid as could possibly enwreathe the most ambitious aspirant to histrionic fame. The distraction of the discrowned monarch is pourtrayed by him with equal power, whe ther the predominant &stress of that distracted mind appear to arise from filial ingratitu le or the loss of royalty. From the first, when seated in barbaric pomp in the hall hung round with spoils of the chase and bossy shields, ho partitions the sovereignty of his realms, to the closing scene of the strange eventful history, when the ovensorn spirit sinks beneath accumulated griefs, the Lear of Mr. Kean presents an unbroken perfection of acting, and commands with magic power the pro foundest sympathies of the audiesca for the injured father and the degraded king. In this his last, and perhaps greatest triumph, Mr. Kean is admirably assisted by the efficiency of his subordinate.. Mr. Ryder and Mr. Walter Lacy are deserving of marked praise, and the high anticipations we hal sustained of Miss Kate Terry's excellence as an actress during her rapid growth in staturo and in favour, have been fulfilled by her exquisitely pure and graceful delineation of the tender Conklin. ITAYHARKET THEA.TP.R. The entertainments presented by the talented lessee of the Haymarket Theatre—Shakspere's comedy, "As You Like It," the new burlesque, "Pluto and Prosi pine," and the ballet, "Jack's Return from Canton"— drew a crowded audier.ce. M:s. C. Young as Rosalind, in the comedy, appeared to great advantage ; her acting throughout was perfect, and elicited rapturous applause. Compton's Touchstone is too well known to nerd the slightest remark further than to say, it was sustained with his usual ability and success. The brilliant bur, lesque seems to increase in attraction each evening it is represented ; and most deservedly so, for nothing aproaching it in splendour has been produced on the London stage since the famous" Island of Jewels," which signalised the management of the late Madame Vestris at the Lyceum. Our readers will be delighted to Lear that Miss Amy Sedgwick bas completely reco vered from her severe illness, and that she will appear to-morrow evening in her favourite part of Hester, in Taylor's admirable comedy, "A❑ Unequal Match ;" and an orerfl.)wing audience will without doubt wel come her re-appearance. SURREY THEATRE. An excelent bill of fare was put forth on the occasion of the ¶ bitsuntide holidays by Messrs. Creswick and Shepherd. Last evening Mr. 11. Marston, a great favourite, made his first appearance, and was received with rapturous applause. The tragedy selected was the "Gamester," in which Mr. Creswick, Mr. H. Marston, and Miss Atkinson sustained the princ'pal parts with great ability. This was followed by a capital drama, entitled the "Wilds of Texas, or a BrothEr'sVengesnce,' and the evening's amusements terminated with the farce of "My Wife's Oat," which sent the immense audience home in the highest spirits. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The Whiteun holidays were eignalieed last night at Astley'e by the first presentation of an Equestrian Chi valric Spectacle, in two acts, written, says the play-bill, by "a popular author," and entitled "Tile Waite Pal , frey ; or, the Wild Boar of the Fens." Tee scene is laid in Lincolnshire, in the middle ages, when Barons waged war with each other, aad committed such atrocities as are only fitted for pourtrayal by our moder❑ melodra matic actors. Ile monster on the rreseut oacasion is the Baron de Montford, otherwise kno an as the Wild Boar of the Fers, he having obtained this complimen tary sanbriTtet from his tyrannous and ravaginv, pia pen• sitieo. In this drama we find him snatching from leer home and her lover, Florence de Mowbray, and convey ing her to his castle, where he threatens her with every outrage. He is, of course, impeded in his wicked course by the Baron de Mowbray, the reputed father of the hapless damsel, by her very heroic page, Roland, who dares unnumbered dangers in her rescue, and also by Bca'rice de Montrevor, a victim of De Montford'a, who haunts his castle. These opponents, of course, in the cad triumph, and after eight scenes of hair-breadth 'scapes and the most imminent danger, Florence and Roland are united, amidst the snouts of joy of the loyal followers of De Mowbray and a grateful peasantry, whilst the Wild Boar of the Fens meeta his deserved death from the spear of his outraged foes, amidst their execration', and a castle crumbling to pieces:, in lurid flame:i and blue fire. The interest of the piece was well maintained, and the bye-play of Messrs. Anson and Creueste kept the gods in uproarious delight. Toe "spectacle" was followed by some excellent tight-rope dancing, by " Le Petit Roussilh," a little fellow who looks about ten years of age, and whose feats in this de partment were of a very superior order. Ocher enter tainments succeeded, including a lesson i❑ horse-taming, and with such a variety all must have felt that they had an abundance for their money. THE ALUAMBRA. Among the places affording shelter, as well as amuse ment, which were yesterday resorted to by the holiday makers in large numbers, the Alhambra was not the least popular. At the day performance, which, from the spaciousness and lively decorati cf the building, suf• fered lees from the absence of gas-light than such enter tainments usually do, the house was completely filled, a larger proportion than usual of the spectators consisting sf children, whose unrestrained eni)yment of the pro ceedings considerably heightened that of their elders. The entertainment provided by Messrs. Howes and Cushing was the same as that recently given before her Majesty, and exhibited all the novelty and variety which the feats of the circus admit of. Mr, Runnells cre ated much applause and a little shuddering by hie gifficult performance of the "Crystal Pyramid., , ," and the "Roman Brothers" displayed astonishing strength and agility in various gymnastic efforts, including one of a new elm_ ranter, entith , d "Globe la Perche." The equine mein hers of the troupe pleyed their part admirably. "Black Eagle" could not have given more proofs of docility and intelligence had he enjoyed the tuition of Mr. Rarey him self ; and the two "comic mules," Pete and Barney, caused roars of laughter by the irresistible manner in which they threw, one after another, the aspiring boys who accepted the offer of a ride round the circle. Many of the usual feats of equestrianirma were gone through in a superior manner, and on bare-backed steeds, and the two clowns made the most of the various intervals by jokes and repartees, which were productive of much juvenile merriment. CRYSTAL PALACE. The three days' amusements for Whitsuntide com menced yesterday, and were patronised by 29,731 visi tors. During the day there were several showers, but between them the appearance of the grounds and sur rounding scenery was such as thoroughly to delight the numl,ers who availed themselves of the intervals of sun shine to survey them. The building seemed sufficiently attractive to keep the larger number within it. Many appeared deeply interested at the sight of the centrifugal pump, machinery in motion, great water towers, and the great gold nugget—the latter being only at the palace for a short time, as it is to be removed from this part of the world after to-morrow. Tile orchestral band of the company, and the Handel Festival organ, the former musical attractions, are now assisted by a wind band, which is worthy of being placed with them. A portion of it attended in the grounds during the Morrisand Maypole dances, and other holidv,hvichamusements,had about arranged by Mr, Nelson Lee, 12,000 of the visitors for spectator. d The spot for these pastimes was so well chosen , that more an 2Q,@00 people might have seen them easily from the surround ing high ground. They will be repeated to-morrow, and as that will be the last opportunity of seeing the monster nugget, there will probaWy be a large attend an ce. The now arr angements for exit by the station workzd admirably, and saved at least two hours in the time of the party leaving. CRENIORNE GARDENS. Mr. Sim:i:on, the spirited proprietor of these attractive gardens, with an enterprise worthy of his Lanier efforts, has provided an admira'.de bill of fare ft,r his Whitsuo holiday friends and " the public at large ;" and he would, no doubt, have had a vast bumper last evening had tbt vreather beer favourable. Unfortunately it was other wise The rain came down in fitful torrents, deterring number from venturing out. Many of "the million," however ttOismay ed by " wind and weather," and resolved to erjoy themselves at all hazards, availed themselves atlas various modes of "passenger traffic," and pushed on to the gardens, the varied and artistically-set-out features of which compensated for a visit. Among those features is the thoughtful indoor accommodation provided for visitors on a rainy day. The gardens, as compared with the arrangements of last year, seem almost terra incognita —so varied are the objects, and so changed the situations. In the promenade, embracing 18 acres, known statues have been shifted, new ones have been added, and land scope gardening has been much beautified. A colossal picture of India, with "its gorgeous palaces, cloud capped towers," its minareted temples, its sacred mosques, and lofty mountains, and apart from all other attractions, it richly compensatas for a visit. Elaboe rately wrought, it is regarded as a triumph in scenic art, combining artistic skill and architectural correctness ; and, irrespective of its value as a work of art, it derives a new interest from its embracing, among 16 districts, PO= of the remarkable scenes of the mutiny, Lncknowe and Delhi included. It is on an extended scale, is exhi 'Died in the open air, and is remarkable as an optical illu of art and nature, reflecting the highest credit on the artist, Mr. Jones. Among the attractions in the theatre, were 12 classic subjects, chaste and interestingly illus. trated in Tableaux Vivants ; the celebrated File Family, Mr. Henry Welker, the great slack rope dancer, whose acrobatic and gymnastic feats excite much surprise; a new ballet, introducing the whole of the Laurie family ; a vocal al fresco con cert, the Brothers Daniels (distinguished as in strueaentalists), Mr. J. Ogden (amusing in his delinea tions of Irish character), an entirely new ballet, written by T. C. Dibdin, entitled " Lord Bateman and the Fair S )phia" (the music by AI. Iliviere), a grand Moorish ballet by Miss Jenny Laurie and Miss Louisa Laurie, and the eoi:pe de ballet—and "though last, not least," a comic, Dionysian, Homeric, and Virgilian Extravaganza, entitled " The Golden Pippin, or, The Judgment of Paris and the Siege of Troy, exhibited in the " Marionette" Theatre. This entertainment want off admirably, and excited by ita broad burlesque much laughter., We may add, by way of postscript, that dancing was enjoyed with spirit by the visitors within the wall of the theatre, to the soul-stirring, strains of an admirable band ; scenes in the cirque were admirably enoctel tho Sax horn Band, conduced by Mr. Sidney Davis, " dis coursed soft music" ; and to those attractions may be superadded Mes,:rs. Waterer and Godfrey's Grand Ex• hibition of American Plants, as they appeared green, Nourishing, and I.)!orning in the Ashburuham Pavilion, transplanted wonders from the American soil. ST. JAMES'S lIALL -GRAND DIORAMA OF THE INDIAN MUTINY. TLis very interesting and attractive exhibition, whiola was to have closed on Saturday last, has extended its term, and, we are informed, will continue open for another fortnight, in consequence of the vast numbers who visit it daily. It is on a very extensive scale, sash view covering a space of 500 square yards of canvas, by eminent artists, among whom are 11T. Gomperts and Mr. Marshall, of Her Majesty's Thcatre. The panorama consists of the city and fortifications of Delhi, showing every object cf interest in and about the city, the preparations for the defence, the British encamp. meat and hi - .tterieß, and a group of officers, consistia of General Barnard and his staff, and several others who di tinguished themselves. This is followed by the battle of SuLz,einundie, which lasted fifteen hours. The view of Peohawur gives a vivid representation of the execu- lion of the routineerF, some of whom were hanged, and others blown from the gems.. The Assembly rooms at Cawnpore, in which took place the massacre of the Eng lish women and children by command of that worse than fiend Nana Sahih, although rendered as little revolting as possible, is s'..iil indeed most ghastly. Other scenes foLow, all (~f which possess remarkable interest. The whole diorama is beautifully painted, and richly merits the extensive patronage it is receiving. THE GREAT GLOBE. Y.sterday afternoon the Dioramas of the Sopoy Re bellion, the cities of Delhi, Lucknow, C.twnpore, and Benares, ;lore visited by a very large number of per sons. Altogether the views are splendid. and a great de4l of information may be obtained by a visit. GRE wica PARK. The annouuerm:nt that the Commissioners of Woods and Forests bad granted permission for the attendance cf military bands in Greenwich Park during the firs three days of Wbitsun week, drew together a large concourse of holiday seekers, and the resources of the railway company, steam-boat companies, and proprietors of all kinds of vehicles were tax -yd throughout the day in discharging their living freights into the town. Thanks to those in authority having abolished the monster nui sance into w hick the fair had of late years grown, there was an attendance of a superior claLs of persons, the re sidents with their grown-up sons and daughters, being able to join in the pleasures of the day. The park and heath were, of course, the chief points of attraction, and never did either appear to a greater advantage than they did yesterday. The chesnut trees in the park with their beautiful blossoms, and the green sward, o'er which tripped lightly thousands of joyous happy throngs, with the delightful strains from the band of the Royal Ma rines L'ght Infantry, presented a scone at once pleasing and cheering, as evincing a great point gained in provid ing the public < f this deusely-populated metropolis with means of h2althful recreation and plea , urable enjoyment. Tne Royal Hospital, with its noble chapel and paintel hall, attracted a large number of visitors ; whilst the heath was resorted to by cricketers, amateurs in archery practice, and hundreds of would-be equestrians, the re peated fall of the latter contributing materially to the hilarity of the comptny present. About 6 o'clock rain began to descend in considerable abundance, causing a rather sharp retreat from the park and heath towards home. The whole amusements passed off without acci dent to life or limb, and, judging from the number of visitors to the town, the tradesmen have nothing to de plore by what some persons terms the loss sustained by the abolition of the fair. The same band will be in at tendance again this day, that of the Royal Artillery being engaged for to-morrow (Wednesday). THE WRECK OF THE A VA. So little of an authentic character has transpired with reference to the loss of this beautiful but ill-fated ship, that the following extract from a letter, received from one who bad served on board of her, will doubtless be read with interest. It is dated from "The Ava Camp, April 10. The efforts which we have made for the recovery of the Government treasure have, thank God, been at tended with a degree of success which the most sanguine amongst us never ventured to anticipate. We have con tinued our occupation of the camp on the shore, of which I it.formed you in my former letter, and have worked, to use an old expression, like true British sailors.' I must do our fellows the justice to say that duty has been the first consideration with them, and that very little selfishness has been displayed by any one engaged. Of course our duties have not been of the most agreeable kind, but I must give you another adage, reward sweetens labour,' and whether we ever shalt get properly recompensed by the Government or no it certainly is very encouraging to see so many boxes of bright gold brought up, albeit that one has to work up to his neck in water. Of course we are not without protection, and Commodore Watson ' who c)mmands the East India squad ron , i s h ero i n her Majesty's fri gate Chesapeake, having come to render us every assist -11 of Luxe in his power.
