these agreeable volumes, and transport themselves into the pleasant company of the inhabitants and visitors of "El Fnreidis." The History and Properties of the Different Varieties of Natural Guanos. It is to be regretted that any author should make, as in this case, the last page of his pamphlet, not of the cover, an advertisement of his own fees for doing what his book recommends. The author also surely forgets that, if as reviewers we recom mend his pamphlet, he makes us the instrument of circulating what ought to appear in the advertising columns of a newspaper. IfIONZI 131,11?.KET A .ar:D CilY YEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the past week the general state of busi ness in the manfacturing districts has not materially altered. The woollen trade at Leeds has been dull, the Operations in the Cloth Halls only being for imme di ate home requirements. _ _ At Manchester there has been a slight improve ment in the inquiry for India, but at lower quota tions. Wools and yarns at Bradford have been in active, but the transactions in piece goods have shown a more active inquiry for the home markets. At Leicester there has been a partial improve ment, owing to the receipt of considerable orders for Canada. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has continued dull, but a moderate amount of busi ness has been entered into in the various trades carried on at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver hampton. There is a brisk demand for discount accommo dation, the supply of bills having increased during the last few days, and the rates exhibit rather an upward tendency, very little accommodation being obtainable under 3y per cent. The inquiry is still stimulated by the subscriptions made to new joint stock projects, which continue to be brought for ward with great rapidity ; and in most instances they meet with a favourable reception at the hands of the investing public. On the Stock Exchange advances cannot be obtained under 3 or 31 per cent. A rather large business was recorded in the Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday, and prices were very firm. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales. _ _ No bullion operations of importance were re ported at the Bank of England on Saturday. At the forthcoming meeting of the Southampton Dock Company a dividend, for the half-year, will be proposed at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. The arrivals of specie this morning have been rather important, comprising £84,200 by the Africa from New York, £162,455 by the Seine from the West Indies, and £3,290 by the . Tagus from Lisbon. The transactions in the market for Public Securities today have been limited, and very little fluctuation has taken place. A heavy tone still prevails, and prices have tended downwards, although no actual movement has occurred, Con sols being 931 4 for money, and 931 for the account. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are steady, at 931 1; the New 2 per Cents. are 78; and Exchequer Bills, 6s. prem. India Loan is heavy at 1034, but ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is firm at 971.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 21 • i 7- prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, ft 4 prem. ; and the Universal, 1 t prem.

Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Lancashire, and Yorkshire, North-Western, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South-Eastern have improved ss. ; Great Northern, and Midland, 10s. ; and Bristol and Exeter, £l. The Foreign and Colonial lines are flat.

He had also run his pencil through many pages of his will—the whole of the legatees named therein having died in the lifetime of the testator. No other will being in existence at the time of the testator's decease, letters of administration, with the obliterated will annexed thereto, were taken out. The surviving executor, Edward Goulburn, Esq., having first re nounced the probate, and Lady Dwarris, the wife of Sir Fortunatus, whom he had constituted resi duary legatee, having died in the lifetime of her husband, the grant was made to Mrs. Alicia Honore. Amoyt (wife of William H enr y Amo y t, Esq.), a daughter of the testator. The property, therefore, I t s. the law directs, will hav e to be divided amongst his four children. The amount of the personalty Was sworn under £7,000.—/Ilustrated London News. The Gazette of Madrid publishes a Royal decree revoking the measure by which, in November last, the Peninsula was divided into five military dis tricts, besides the 15 Captaincies-General now exist ing. Only the first of the new military divisions is maintained, the command of which is confided to Gen. Concha. • a vw.ev«ir.4 avt.w11••••• . ..ir PREFERENCE SHARES. Paid.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat, which, for the most part, changed hands steadily, at full quotations. All kinds of spring corn moved off freely, at extreme rates, and there was a slightly improved sale for flour. The continental markets have continued firm for wheat, in which steady sales have been effected cn English ac count. All other produce has moved off freely, at very full prices. In the United States large supplies of produce continue on offer. The shipments have steadily increased; nevertheless the quotations rule very moderate. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very limited. The imports from abroad amounted to 19,896 quarters of wheat, 7,985 barley, 16,825 oats, 1,415 beans, 14,905 linseed, 2,206 rapeseed, 6,670 maize, 92 sun dry seeds, 7,067 sacks and 21,260 barrels of flour. A very moderate supply of wheat was received, fresh up, to our market to-day, both from Essex and Kent, hence, the show of samples was small. Factors, generally, were very firm in their demands, and, on the whole, the trade ruled steady, at fully last Monday's currency. In some instances they were slightly exceeded ; but the improve ment in value amounted to no quotable change. The con dition of the samples was tolerably good. Rather a large quantity of foreign wheat was on offer. Several parcels changed hands for inland consumption, but the town millers purchased sparingly. The demand may be considered steady, at extreme rates. There was a fair inquiry for floating cargoes of grain on former terms. We had a good consumptive demand for barley, the sup ply of which was limited, at very full prices. Malt, how ever, was a dull inquiry, on former terms. We have to report a firm market for oats, the prices of which were quite as high as last week. The few beans on offer were disposed of at very full prices. Peas were in request, but not dearer. There was a steady but by no means active inquiry for flour, on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

OF TILE COJIIXONS. The following curious statement has been for warded to us for publication : " Constitutional Defence Committee, 25, Birchin lane, London, Aug. 6, 1860. "TO TTIP. MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE. " Gentlemen,—A small section of the Execu tive Committee you appointed, comprising the proprietors, the editors, writers, contributors, and partisans of the Star, having betrayed and virtually abandoned the cause you intrusted to their hands, have now determined that you shall not be convened to hear an account of their pro ceedings. I think, however, it is due to you as well as to myself that you should know the truth, and so be enabled to judge for yourselves, and to act as you may think fit. In my opinion an execu tive is appointed to carry out the objects of the general committee, and has no right to surrender those objects, or to terminate or suspend the pro secution of them, without their sanction. " The agitation, you will remember, was com menced by Mr. Bright, and he at once became its leader, and the )llorning star its principal organ. The prominent part thus taken by the' Manchester Party' certainly gave a rude, impulsive, and reck less vigour to the movement, but this was accom panied by a lamentable want of judgment and capacity for the accomplishment of a successful issue. It had, moreover, the effect of repelling many of its warmest friends, several leading Lon don papers, and many of the towns, even in the north, who could not sympathise and would not be identified with what they consider the sordid and detestable tenets of that school. " When Lord Palmerston's resolutions appeared it was clear that they did not deny, but, on the contrary, as plainly as words and phrases could imply admitted, both the power and the right of the Lords to impose taxes, provided the power were not unduly exercised. That was the critical moment—the turning point in the contest—when it became the obvious and paramount duty of this committee to denounce so fatal an admission. And what was the conduct of Mr. Bright and his party then ? At that moment, and before this committee could meet, we saw with utter amazement and consternation that Mr. Bright and the Star had accepted the resolutions under cover of the audacious statement that they were at least so good that the whole Conservative party to a man would oppose them.' Either they believed that statement or they did not ; to believe it exhibited an amount of ignorant credulity which would render any party contemptible—not to believe, and yet to publish it, exhibited an amount of impudent imposture which ought to render any poli tical party infamous. They had their choice, and they have it still. They urgently pressed this Committee to abstain from denouncing the re solutions, on the pretext that they were to be fol lowed by some action which would effectually neu tralise them. They were warned that there was no appearance or probability, and certainly no guar antee of any such action, and that if they believed in it they were being duped and imposed upon ; but they still persisted in appearing to believe it, and they had a majority to back their credulity. Mr. Bright at the same time used his utmost exer tions and influence to get all amendments with drawn, and to prevent all opposition, and so not only failed to stand by the Constitution himself, but seduced and betrayed others into the same position. Thus the press was silenced—this Committee was silenced—the independent party in the house was silenced and disorganised, and the public stood aghast at the manifest treachery, but knew not whom to accuse. _ _ " Lord Palmerston, relieved from all opposition, was at liberty to say what he pleased, and declaimed without reserve in defence of the Lords and in dis paragement of the privileges of the Commons and the rights of the people, amid the plaudits of the Conservatives and the ill-suppressed murmurs of the betrayed followers of Mr. Bright. " On the second night of the debate this Com mittee addressed letters to 20 members of the Libe ral party, entreating them to use every means which the forms of the house would permit to get the de bate adjourned, so that the country might have time to express its opinions on the subject, and several of those members strenuously endeavoured to accomplish that object ; but again Mr. Bright exerted himself to the utmost to paralyze their action, and ultimately threatened to divide against them if they persisted. And so the resolutions passed unanimously—the whole Conservative party, instead of opposing, supporting them, and avo wing that they did so because they clearly admitted the right of the Lords—and so the journals of the House of Commons, after an elaborate investiga tion of precedents, are made to bear that damning testimony to posterity. " No action followed—none was ever intended— perhaps none was ever really expected—Mr. Bright having first betrayed his followers, then deserted, and ultimately disowned them, his friends denying that he had ever been, or wished to be, their leader. Endeavours were made by this committee, by Lord Fermoy, Mr. Whalley, and others to stimulate som e action, but all df them were frustrated by the same party and by similar means, under the pretence that any pressure might endanger the Ministry, and prevent the completion of the French Treaty, in which the Manchester Party have a special and peculiar interest. Even if the preservation of such a Ministry or the completion of such a treaty could be compared in vital importance with the disastrous concession of a power in the House of Lords to tax the people, it is indubitable that those were not the objects for which this committee was formed, nor the purposes for which the public subscribed. The present popular apathy and political demo ralisation arise mainly from the political dishonesty of our public men, and it is fraught with great national evil. It renders the people powerless and the middle classes indifferent, for they know not whom to believe or whom to follow, and it leaves the ruling powers to run riot in their reckless ag gressions, extravagant expenditure, and vicious legislation. And it is tending to something infi nitely worse. "I cease to represent the committee from this day, but shall be glad to receive your sentiments upon the subject, and your sanction of the course which, in justice to you, I have adopted, addressed to me at my office as above.—l remain gentlemen, your faithful servant, " HENRY BROOKES."

Thi , was an appeal from a decision of the Exchequer Chamber, reversing the decision of. the Court of Queen's Bench. The plaintiff claimed £l,OOO under the policy on the life of Charles Frederick Albert Limbird, who died in 1856 within the year of the policy. The Exchequer Chamber held the claim good as an annual insurance. The Court of Queen's Bench held the claim void in respect of nonpayment of the quarterly instalments of insurance. The annual insurance was £33 payable in qnarterly instalment of £8 ss. The first quar ter was paid, the second quarter was not paid when he died, and the question raised was whether there was any insurance. The annual premium was not paid, and the quarterly instalment was not paid at the, time of his death. Mr. Prentice was heard for the appellant. Mr. Millwood and another were heard for the respon dent. The Lord Chancellor reversed the decision of the Ex chequer Chamber, and affirmed the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench The othernoble and learned lords unanimously concurred. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day). OLD COURT. The August Sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor, Recorder, Sheriffs, and Under-Sheriffs. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said—The number of cases in the calendar was not considerable in numerical amount, but rather fewer than might have been anticipated from the time that had elapsed since they last met. But while they did not amount to a great number, the charges were of a more serious description than had ever yet come under his notice. The first case to which he would refer was that of a person named Youngman, who was charged with the murder of no less than four persons —namely, his mother, two brothers, and a young woman named Mary Streeter, and the question the jury was called upon to decide was whether there was sufficient evidence to call for further investigation. The learned recorder here related the details of the murder at 16, Manor-place, Wal worth, and then went on to say that the prisoner Young•. man was the person who killed his mother, there could be no question, as he admitted that he did so in self-defence, but the next question that arose was who killed the other three. From the depositions, it appeared that the first that was heard of the melancholy affair was a scuffle, and afterwards a slight scream from a child, but not such as was calculated to lead to the supposition that a mortal contest for life was going on between two persons. Taken from this point of view it would appear that the child and not the mother was the last person killed, for in a very short time after the scuffle and scream, the prisoner was met by one of the inmates of the house, and the whole of the four unfortunate persons were discovered to have been murdered. The version of the tragedy given by the prisoner would, he was sure, re ceive their most serious consideration, and while they were so engaged he was sure they would not forget to think of the time the murders were committed, and the silence that followed. The next case of importance to which he would advert wis, that of a charge of manslaughter against two persons named Vivian and Slater, who, until lately, had been engaged as keepers in the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, and the person whose - death they were accused of causing was an inmate of the insti tution, named Swift. Great interest was manifested in this case by the public, because the defendants, from their posi tion, compared with that of the unfortunate inmates, were possessed of great power; but, at the same time, the jury must not forget that they were continually open to have charges made against them by persons who might appear to be perfectly rational. A great deal of the evidence to prove the charge would be that of lunatics, so the jury would be required to devote their best attention to the sub•. ject. Another circumstance that would tend to render their task more difficult was the fact that there was a great difference of opinion amongst the medical witnesses to be examined, as to the time at which the injuries that produced death were inflicted. On the one side it was contended that the injuries that caused the death of Swift were received some days prior to his being given over to the custody of the defendants, and therefore they were net responsible for his death ; while on the other it was said that the injuries were of such a serious nature that death must have taken place in a very few hours after. If they should be of opinion that death had occurred shortly after the injuries were inflicted, then they would see that the e ‘ vidence of the two inmates of the asylum bore very strongly on the case, as they spoke to having seen the defendants and the deceased a short time before in the " padded room," a place where violent lunatics were at times confined. A fall and an epileptic fit had been spoken to as having been the cause of death, but witnesses would be brought before them who would state that the de ceased was not subject at all to fits of the nature spoken of, and also that a fall forward could not produce the extensive injuries by which death had been occasioned. The next case of manslaughter was that against a person named Singleton, but as it did not present any particulars he would pass it over by merely remarking there was no suggestion that death had ever been intended ; if so, it would have become murder. A female, named Sophia Payne, was indicted for causing the death of her infant child ' by neglect and want of proper nourishment, and the ques tion they were called upon to decide was, whether the mother had means to provide the nourishment required to sustain the life of her child, and from the depositions it ap peared to him that it had not been proved that she had. On the contrary, it seemed that she had been subsisting ;on her friends in the hardest manner possible, so, before they found her guilty the question of means of obtaining nourishment for her dying child must be first considered, and they must be of opinion she possessed those means before they found her guilty. Thera was a charge of attempted self murder against a foreigner named Mohammed Ali Khan, who it appeared had arrived in this country for the purpose of presenting some petition or ether for the purpose of obtaining notoriety or drawing particular attention to his case; he attempted self murder at the bar of the House of Lords. The attempt to commit murder they knew was a crime, and the crime was not altered by :the circumstances that a person made the attack upon his own life. The other serious cases were those of Elizabeth Wickstead, who was indicted for drown ' ing her own child ; and that of James Ratley, who was charged with wife murder. There was one charge :in the calendar of a revolting nature, namely, that of a school mistress ill-using and ill-treating one of her pupils. No doubt a governess had the power to punish her pupils, but the barbarities that were alleged in this case were, he be lieved, without precedent. This and the charge of arson, which was still regarded as a capital crime in this country, Would conclude the cases ho should bring under their notice, and if in the discharge of their duties the assistance of the Court was required it would instantly be given them. The grand jury then retired to their room. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SID DEPRAVITY OF A YOUNG GIRL!—CASH-BOTH ROB BERY.—Matilda Baker, a girl of 14, was charged, before Mr. Beadon, with stealing, from the cash-box of her master, Mr. Benjamin Pullen, tailor, 303, Oxford-street, the sum of £l2, in gold. Mr. Pullen said the prisoner, who had been his servant, absconded on Friday morning, and in tho afternoon, on going to his cash. box to deposit somo money, he missed £l2 in gold. On Saturday night he found the prisoner at Knightsbridge, she having just changed a sovereign to pay for something for a soldier, and he then got a constable and gave her into custody. On her being searched only £3 19s was found upon her, and a some articles belonging to his wife. He asked the prisoner when she took the money, and she said, while her mistress was down stairs, seeing the bunch of keys, she unlocked the cash-box and took the money. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said he had ascertained the prisoner had got mixed up with some soldiers. Her mother was the cook at the Horncastle Union. PrisonQr said she had spent somo of the money with a soldier at the Wellington Barracks. A constable said he had seen her with another soldier on tho previous night. Sergeant Cole here produced a fashionable black straw hat and feather, and some articles of jewellery the prisoner had bought, and said she had bought a crinoline and other articles of dress. She had been discharged from a previous situation for talking to soldiers. Mr. Beadon said it was a sad case, and but for her youth he should have dealt very severely with her. Committed for three months with hard labour. An official document states that the consumption of coal in France is 11,000,000 tons yearly—three-fifths of it in manufactories. A large portion of the whole is brought from abroad-1,100,000 tons from England 2,700,000 from Germany, and 700,000 from Prussia. In 1858 the quantity supplied by England was only 500,000 tons, by Belgium 1,700,000, and by Prussia 20,000. • • - The Niagara Falls Gazette says that a day or two ago a drayman threw his dog into the rapids near Goat Island. bridge, 'and immediately afterwards went to the foot of the ferry stairs and found him but little injured by the tremendous leap. The cruel experiment was tried to convince some incredulous persons.—Yew York Herald. TIIE QUEEN'S PRISON.—An act has just been passed to amend the act relating to the Queen's Prison. Prisoners sent to Bethlehem Hospital under the former act may now be removed and be dealt with as if they were Persons of sound mind. All lunatics removed to places from Bethlehem Hospital are to be under the provisions of the Lunacy Act. LOCAL BOARDS OF HEALTH,--By an act of Par liament just passed the expenses of local boards constituted burial boards may be paid out of the general district rate or by a separate rate. Where any parish or place has been divided into two or more districts for ecclesiastical pur poses, and any one part has a separate burial ground, it is not to be lawful to appoint a burial board without the eon 'sent of the Secretary of State.

From our own grazing districts, the receipt of beasts fresh up this morning was very moderate, and we observed a great deficiency in their general weight. For prime Scots, &c., the demand ruled steady at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2d. per 8 lbs. Most other kinds sold somewhat slowly, but at full prices. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 2,000 short horns and crosses; from other parts of England, 600 various kinds ; and from Ireland, 220 oxen. The supply of sheep being on the decrease, compared with Monday last, the mutton trade was somewhat active, and, in most instances, prices advanced 2d. per 8 lbs. The best Downs commanded fully ss. Bd. per 8 lbs. There was a slightly improved sale for lambs, the value of which had an upward tendency ; about 500 reached us from Ireland. Calves—the supply of which was moderate—changed hands steadily at full quotations. The pork trade was steady at last week's currency. Per Sibs to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

By our advices from Ameri ca we l earn that the exhibition of the Great Eastern, at New Y or k, was brought to a close on the 28th ult. The total num ber of persons who had visited the ship since her arrival was 143,809. She left on the 30th, at 4.30 p.m., on her Cape May excursion. She had 2,087 passengers on bo,ard, all of whom had paid 10 dols. each. She arrived at seven o'clock on the morning of the 31st. A great deal of grumbling was re parted as having existed, owing to bad manage ment ; water was scarce and provisions insufficient. It was officially reported that the great ship would re-open for exhibition on the 13th, 14th, and 15th inst., prior to her departure for England on the 16th inst. LOSS OF THE GANGES STEAMER. The Athenian brings intelligence of the total loss of the steamer Ganges, built by John Laird, Esq., of Birkenhead, for the Oriental Inland Steani Na vigation Company. The Ganges was intended for the navigation of the Indian rivers, and was a vessel of exceedingly light draught of water. She foundered in a sudden and unexpected manner on the 29th July, in lat. 35.10 N., lon. 13 W. She left Liverpool on the 12th June, bound for India. The crew upon abandoning her divided themselves into three small boats, and steered a course for the island of Madeira, but in consequence of the high sea running at the time they all parted company during the night. One boat, containing seven of the crew, in the charge of the second officer, made Madeira after being exposed to a tremendous sea for four days, and as the Athenian was steaming out of port she passed another of the boats, in charge of the chief officer. The lifeboat, containing the captain and nine men, was still missing, and much anxiety was felt for them, five days having elapsed since the loss of the Ganged. The captain's boat was the best fitted out of the three. The Athenian brings home those saved in the first boat. The names of those still missing are :—Tames William Callan, master; Charles William Humphries, chief engineer ; Wm. Charles Thompson, carpenter; Lawrence Holland, steward ; John River, seaman ; William Edwards, seaman ; Thomas Brown, seaman ; William Braidwood, fire man ; William Caddy, fireman. LETTER FROM GARIRALDI TO QUEEN VICTORIA. Your Majesty,—Called by my duty to my Italian father land to defend its cause in Sicily, I have assumed the dic tatorship of a generous people, who, after a long-continued struggle, wish for nothing but to participate in the national life and freedom under the sceptre of the magnanimous prince in whom Italy trusts. The envoy who presents himself to your Majesty in the name of the Provisional Government which now rules this country does not pretend to represent a special and distinct State, but he comes as the interpreter of the thoughts and sentiments of two millions and a-half of Italians. By this title I beg your Majesty to deign to receive him, granting a kind audience and attention to what he may respectfully urge upon your Majesty in behalf of this most beautiful and noble part of Italy. G. GARIBiLDI. PLlelmo, June 22. To her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. FUTURE NAVA L WARFARE. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The application of steam and screws to vessels of war has eaused much speculation as to what will be their effect in the first naval warfare that occurs, and has turned men's minds to con sidering what defects may arise, and what is the best means of overcoming them. Sir Howard Douglas, in his able work on "Naval Warfare," has pointed out the danger of the screw becoming fouled from floating or submerged wreck, or the rigging of disabled spars dragging astern and fouling the screw ; and nothing can be of greater importance, for a vessel, when once her motive power was gone, would be a useless log upon the water, unable to alter her position, either for her own advantage or at the order of the commander-in-chief, and might thereby jeopardise the result of a great naval action. In putee, also, it is of the utmost importance. Two cases have already occurred in which the masts going over the side have fouled and disabled the screw, and the vessels been lost. The first was the Prince, in Balaklava harbour, the other the Royal Charter; and in the latter, case one of the principal officers gave it as his opinion, on the Government inquiry, that " in a screw••ship, whenever the mast goes over the side, the screw would be disabled." It is these disasters, and those which might occur in our first naval action, that determined me to try to find some means of preventing them, and I have fitted to the model of a 50-gun screw-frigate, a guard, simple in the extreme, which would have the effect of stopping and turning from the screw all things likely to foul it, and at the same time fits, when out of use, so closely to her side that it would not depreciate her speed. I have shown it to many eminent shipbuilders, and have received from them all an approval of its merits and ease of application, and some of them have given me writ ten testimonials, which I enclose, and which I hope you will publish with this letter ; but others would not do so, because they feared to get into disgrace with the Admiralty—a sad state of affairs, when a shipbuilder is afraid to recommend a simple and useful invention, one that might some day change the fortune of a battle, for fear of receiving censure instead of praise from the authorities at Whitehall. There is now a plan of hoisting the screw on board the ship, but it is doubtful, except from fouling, whether it is safer from shot in that position than under the water; but in addition to the time lost in lowering the screw when wanted is the fact that under the counter, and in the place vacated by the screw when hoisted, is the very place where all the wreck would congregate, and the rigging hanging to wounded spars drag itself ; and the screw when lowered (if not prevented from being so by the wreck) would most likely be fouled and stopped at its first revolution. My plan would obviate these difficulties if the Admiralty would only try it on a gunboat. I have no wish to get anything for it; I am ready to pre sent it to the country, and content for reward to know that some day, if not in peace, yet in the first war, I shall be acknowledged to be its benefactor. It is for this reason I beg of you to publish this letter, that the present Board of admiralty may not be allowed to reject without trial for the nation a thing which, in the hour of need, may be of the greatest service to our natural national defence and safeguard—the British navy.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, IL B. POWULL, Late Captain Grenadier Guards. Foxleap Park, Lyndhurst. CATTLE FOlt AUSTRALIA.--The Copenhagon,Capt. Godfrey, belonging to Messrs. Dunbar, of London, sailed from Plymouth on Saturday for Melbourne. Besides a full general cargo (1,600 tons) of British manufactured goods, including a large quantity of gas apparatus and pipes, sho takes 13 choice bulls, two cows, the entire blood-horse Lien, worth about £3OO, a superior prize mare and foal, lately shown at the Royal Agricultural Society's Exhibition at Canterbury, a number of rams and sheep, a pair of swans, a quantity of poultry, &c. Most of the bulls are of the Durham breed—one (Duke Humphrey) is valued at £2OO, and another, Prince of Prussia, is worth double that sum. This bull won the second prize at the last Canterbury show, against Royal Butterfly, brother to Mast er Butterfly, which was taken out successfully by Captain Godfrey, in 1857. The Ramillies, Captain Wright, also belonging to Messrs. Dunbar, left this port on the Bth instant, with 287 Government emigrants for Adelaide. Three ships are hourly expected—viz., the Result, Captain Cow, belonging to Messrs. Green, for Melbourne; the Shah Jehan, Cap; tain Cox, with Government emigrants for Adelaide; and the Lady Macdonald, Captain Brumell, for Sydney. THUNDERSTORM.—On Saturday morning, be tween 11 and 12 o'clock, there was a storm of thunder and i lightning in the metropolis, accompanied wtlinea Y rain. The storm did not last long, but one clap o f thunder was appalling. Several persons are said to clap been injured and much damage done to property.

A FATAL SALUTE.—On Tuesda7 night, at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Miss Ann. Maria Martin, ' daughter of Mr. Thomas Martin, died from the singular effects of a wound received on Saturday,. when a salute was fired from the yacht Zinga. Expecting a di s pl a y of firo works from the Zinga, as she was coining in, large num bers of people had gathered on the wl , A:arf. A salute from a two-pound cannon was fired on boarel the yacht.
