OIT , '' 4,167,' SECOND EDITION. ov titiditt LONDON, TIIURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1846. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Thursday last, M. GurzoT, in his reply to M. THIERS, after alluding to the desire of the Government, to draw round it men of the Legitimatist party, thus boldly exposed the taken policy of the aristocracy :—" It had been a great misfortune for the French nobility, that they did not know how to assume that part, in the poli tical interests of their country, to which they were entitled. They had done noticing but live in the iso lation of their estates, or the subserviency of courts." " And also," exclaimed M. DE LAROCHEJACQUELIN (and well might he so exclaim), " and also. on the field of honour." " Yes," continued the Minister, " most nobly and most pa triotically. But the intelligence if the policy of the country had always been wantiag to them. It wa the trAddle classes that had been obliged to conquer, step by step, all the liberties of the country—it iv;i to them that France owed everything !" And doe , - his apply only to France ? Is it not the almost uni versa' character of aristocracy ? It is, or rather, it was—for all things now are changing. For years, for ages, in all times, in all countries, every great nation has hPACt its exclusive class. Every great people thy; ; have toiled and laboured, have had their privileged few, to reap the profits—a high and ehvated minority, raised aloft, not by their own exPrtions, but by the pressure from beneath 'hey are like figures, whose intrinsic value is tht same, but whose power is wonderfully altered b . ) their position—swelling from units to millions of millions, only by the augmentation of the ciphers by their side. Well may the aristocracy be interested in the prosperity of a country—they cannot make that prosperity, but by it they are made. However. we do not wish now to censure, or to cavil, with the aristocracy ; our object is only to note a most re markable coincidence—one of those unforeseen in cidents, which portray so forcibly the stirring signs of the times, which evidence so powerfully the hourly progress of reform. While in the French Chamber, M. GUIZOT was speaking of a nobility who knew not how to assume their part in the interests of their country, and to whom the intelligence of its policy was always wanting—even while he was speak ing, across the water, in our own House, our nobi lity mere assuming their fit position, were proclaim ir.g their intelligence, universal as its theme. While the French Parliament thought of what had been, the English (ever foremost in re form) showed forth what should be. While the Minister was speaking, before echo had brought across a whisper to our shore, his ideas were illus trated, his expectations were forestalled. Our no bility have not to learn their duties. No longer anxious to dazzle by empty splendour, or control by narrow tyranny, they have assumed a higher place than monarch ever gave them ; they are ready to co-operate with the people for the interests of all. Like the leaves and flowers of the forest, which the root nourishes, the stem upholds—but, raised aloft, 'hey are not useless, they are not idly ornamental; they give their shelter and their fruit—so our no bility, supported by the people, will act earnestly and heartily fur the people's welfare. No longer, in the words of VOLTAIRE— " Aux murs de Westminster nu via paraitre vsemble, Trois pouvnip s etom.es du neelid qui les ra:,:ieth Les depu eq du peuple, et les graLds, et le roi, Divises d'intelet, reuuts Nu. lu ioi." Interest now unites them more firmly than any laws thxt the good of one is the good of all has at :erigth been virtually acknowledged. The second reading in the Lords was in many ways remarkable. The debate commenced even while .►i. GUIZUT was dis-erting on the duties of nobility, but the triuln phant division was not recorded till the morning sun had risen--the sun of May 29th, which nearly tw4 , hundred years ago witnessed the restoration of STUARTS. In honour of that event, the dv wa , rendered memorable, but its fame shall be prouder and purer far, hereafter, It shall bt remembered, as the day which saw not alone the restoration of the worst of "P . JuINGS but the ultimate dow n f a l of th e most i r : iquitous of laws. And in future times we shall join with the green oak leaves which preserver!, a monarch, the golden corn which shall prese_rve a people! While thus in thought uniting monarchy and the corn laws, we cannot but the frantic predictions of some, who declaT ed , a repeal would be calculated to destroy the aristocracy and even shake the throne! The re; is exactly opposed to those predictions. glorious measure now becoming law, will not only benefit the people, but add to the privileges of the privileged—it gives them (what they 'nave already gladly seized upon) an opportunity of winning popular favour, and of stooping from their ancestral elevation to conquer a yet higher one in their country's history. 'The decision of the Lords, suicidal though some may deem it, has done more to strengthen the true influence of Peers than any royal gift or baronial extortion since the days of the Conqueror or King JOHN : and, so far from shaking the throne, we may safely aver that no royal despot, or crowned conqueror, was ever so secure, not only on the throne, but in the affections of the people, as is our present constitutional SOVEREIGN. But if the power of Princes and Peers is placed on a firmer basis how much is that of the people their peculiar triumph. This year will be a me morable one in their annals. It is the turning point— not so great in itself as lea ing to better thibgs—the opening wide the portals of a glorious futurity. Some months ago the now popular Minister led the W%y . 4 in a few days all will be over. During all this time how concentrated has been the universal interest, how engro,sed is it even now. Every event gives place to the great subject of the day. Even th birth of a royal infant is scarcely thought of, while contemplating the cradle where Free Trade, an infant Hercules, strangles monopoly in his giant grasp ; and the escape of an illustrious prisoner —one bear- Jig a name of glory—is unheeded, in the joy of a far reater emancipation, as Industry breaks off the etters which have galled her for long years. The Emperor of RUSSIA was atoflrt\hraer2sa6wh 23Jult. A letter from Koningsberg, wh, , 4 i t s :: s laTit on th, , aWeekKa"igB - on "In January la-t. M.

Couri•rs were 'sent Alto the Minister of Police at Berlin, and to the Ambassa dors of France and England, and au active interchange of ,otes ensued between the representativ es of Sweden, S.Sway. treat Britain, and France, and the Prussian Minister tot foreign Affairs. The matter has terminated, however, n• n unexpected way. M. Statzky has disappeared from the drison in which he was confined, and it is known that he hiss succeeded in reaching Stettin, from whence he will mbar!. or the island of Bonholm (Dann rk), on his way to Sweden • , r Norway, where there are no treaties of extradition with Russia."

TINIIO D'ALBUQUERQUE, a Deputy, late Minister of the QUEEN and Director-General of the Public Works of the kingdom. The members of the three juntas had all assembled at Leiria, for the purpose of march ing thence at the head of the insurgents upon Lisbon. The troops of the north had retired into Oporto, and declared that they would not fight against the people. The colonels of three regiments of the garrison of Lisbon had made a similar th,cla ration. All commercial transactions were suspended and the capital was in the greatest state of agitation. Madrid papers of the 28th have been received. According to the Heraldo, the rumour of an ap proaching modification of the Minist:. begins to gain credit. It is said that An' r , hmiON and PIDAL will retire, to make room r :or M. PACHECO and other members of the CP.oservative Opposition. Tne ac counts from f2,ie provinces continue satisfactory. MAlncm BoLst.—The Three per Cents. were not 'quoted on the Bourse, but sold out of doors at 331. The shares of the Bank of San Fernando were done at 380, and those of Isabel at 196. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. They contain the following official account of the massacre of the French prisoners by ABD-EL-KADER. The Minister of War has received a dispatch from Lieut.-General DE LAMORICIERE, which unhappily •onfirms the sad news of the massacre of the French soldiers who were in the hands of ABD-EL-KADER. The certainty of this sorrowful event has been ac luired through a private of the ilth battalion of the Orleans Chasseurs, whq succeeded in effecting his -scape. This man, whose name is H OLLAND, was wounded aro, made prisoner on the 23d September, 1845. lle arrived at Lalla Marina, on the 17th ult. • tits account is as follows : "The deira was encamped about threee leagues from the llolouia. The prisoners, who were about 300 in number, •.ccupied about twenty gourbis in the midst of the camp of .egular infantry. The camp was inclosed by high bush .cork, in which were two openings. This made the guard •f the prisoners more easy. On the 27th of April, in the tiernoon, a letter was received at the deira from Abd-el- Kader. Three horsemen arrived at the camp where the pri ,,ners were to fetch the officers in the name of Mustapha den Tami. They were taken to the deira under pretext that hey were to be pre , ent at a f&te at the Kalifa's. The officers removes were MM. Cognord, Lazaret, Marin, Hillerain, Ca ias:,e, Thomas, an adjutant. There were also taken away the inarechal-des-loges, chef of the hussars, Testard, Trottel, and two others. At night the other prisoners were drawn out In a line. We were orderered to bring all our effects with us. When we had been thus collected the regular infantry arrived, and we wereseparated to be conveyed to their gourbis, seven of us were taken by the inhabitants of four gourbis, and we were all made to enter the same gourbi. I told Iv comrades that something would happen during the night, and not to go to sleep, but for us to be ready to defend our ,elves if it was intended to kill us. I had a French knife which I found on the banks of the Molouia three days }re- - viously. In entering the gourbi I found a reaping hook, which I gave to my comrade l)aumet. At the slightest noise I said, I will go out the first and you will follow me. Towards midnight the soldiers of Abd-el-Kader set up a cry. That was the signal. I went out first and met a regular, and stabbed him in the breast with a knife. He fell. I then jumped over the inclosure of bushes which surrounded the camp and fell to the grornd. Whilst I was trying to extri cate myself some soldiers arrived and endeavoured to cap ture me; my trousers were in a bad state and remained in their hands. I escaped in my shirt. In a ravine a hundred metres from the camp, a party in ambush fired upon me, and I was slightly wounded in the right leg by a ball. I continued to fly and then mounted a small hill, and sat down to see if any of my comrades were able to join me. In turning towards the camp I heard the cries of the prisoners and of the people of Abd-el Kader. The musket firing lasted for more than half an hour. My coT rades, to judge from the noise that I heard, must hP . ,: fe de fended themselves. To escape from the mas gourbis of the regulars, several prisoners had 'taken refuge in our gourbis in the middle of the camp ; i ..jacre in the order to drive them out the gourbis were set on fire, ',.ad they were fired upon as they came out. Seeing th.: c no person f o ll owe d me, I crossed the Molouia, and w `allied on for three nights, con cealing myself during t :ne day. The third day there was a thunder storm with rain and a violent wind. I con tinued my mare;;, nearly naked and in great suffering. I proceeded towards a Moorish village, where I arrived before night. o.'a entering the village I met some women who were co':ne to draw water. On seeing me they fled, uttering 'cries. I entered the village. At the end of a small street I saw a young man ab o ut t wen ty y ears o ld. N l' i'en he saw me he drew his dagger to kill me. I "wished to die, and advanced towards him. I had approached within three or I.ur paces, when another man left a neigh bouring terrace and held back his arm. He then took me to his house and warmed me for two or three minutes, after which he took me to his sleeping-place. 'l here he tied my feet and hands, and threw a horse-cloth over me ; seeing that I said nothing, for I saw that I had not long to suffer. I r lien saw nine prepare to lie down.

Our intelligence from Lisbon of the 23d ult. is highly important. All the towns and villages situate on the south of the Tagus, and opposite that capital, had joined in the insurrection. The annual session of the Cortes was closed on that day. The Revolnca() de Setiembre contains a royal decree, dated the 21st, accepting the resignation of the Cabral Administration, and another appointing the Marquis of Pahnella President of the Council and Minister of the Interior, and Minister ad interim of Justice and Finance ; the Marquis of Saldanha, the Envoy of Portugal at Vienna, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Duke of Terceira, Minister of War, and charged ad interim with the Foreign and Colonial Government. 'i he same journal publishes a proclamation of the Queen, dated the 21st, and countersigned by the Marquis of Paltnella and the Duke of Terceira, announcing that the evils which the nation complained of profoundly afflicted her royal heart, and that the grievances of the people should be redressed. Her Majesty then declares the laws of public health and the new tributary system to be abolished, and orders all restrictions to the liberty of the press to be removed. The Civil Governor of Lisbon had been superseied in his post by M. Machado. The Madrid journals of the 29th bring no news. Three per Cents., 33* —Times. Rou.s , cot. itir.—(THlS DAY.)

The singular simplicity with which ROLLAND ex• presses himself should be heard, in order to appre• ciate the value of men who have been able to sustain, without losing their courage, a trial so severe. ROLLAND is weakly in appearance, but does not bear the traces of physical suffering. On this subject the Prince DE LA MOMEOWA put the question to the Ministry of which he had given notice, and animadverted in strong terms on the Go vernment for not having negotiated an exchange of prisoners with ABD-EL-KADER. M. UUIZOT, in reply, Mated that overtures for such an exchange had been BAUDOUIN. ANSELL V. ATKINS. This was an action to recover the sum of 111. 55., for goods sold, and the defendant pleaded a set off. The plaintiff is a carman, and the defendant a corn and coal merchant in Islington. The proof depended on rather singular testimony. For the plaintiff a discharged servant of the defendant was called, who proved that a certain quantity of straw was taken in by him, but be could not remember any clover, coal, or flour being sent back in return, or at any other time. On the contrary, a discharged ervant of the plaintiff's was called, and swore that, to the best of his belief, he did not deliver so much straw as spoken of, and he swore to deliveries of clover, beans, &c., over a period of f o ur mont h s, although the defendant in the particulars of his set-off only claimed for during two months. After a great deal of argument and attempted explanation, The UNDIR-SHERIFF left the case to the jury, and they gave a verdict for 11. 9s. lid., being the difference between the claim and set-off; without taking into consideration the contradictions on either side. made by ABD-EL-KADEII to Marshal BUGEAUD, but that the Marshal was convinced they were not serious.

The assemblage of rank and fashion was more than usually numerous, the number of ladies most ele gantly attired being perhaps greater than on any similar occasion. The brilliancy of the day may in some measure account for this, but there is but little doubt will more is due to the success which was attendant upon the society's last display. There existed one inconvenience, however, consequent upon the great influx of patrons, which had its origin in the inability of those entrusted with the disburse ment of refreshments to supply one tithe of the urgent calls upon their sympathies. This, and the want of an efficient system at the entrance, which needs but to be alluded to for its remedy, were but small per contras against a very large amount of actual instruction and refined delight. Two military bands, now here and now there, amidst the shrub• beries, played, in a finished and careful style, several of the most admired overtures and airs, while a large body of police acted as a corps of direction in preventing con fusion. The fallowing prizes stood most prominent : For calceolarias (amateur), Mr. Wright, gardener to the Ho nourable Mr. Rushart, Wanstead, the first prize ; the second to Mr. Gaines, nurseryman, Battersea. Mr. Kendall, of Stoke Newington, carried away the prize for fuchsias, and Mr. Cock, of Chiswick, was equally fortuate in his selection of pelargoriums. In the latter and other geraniums, Mr. Gaines, of Battersea, again excelled, and was followed close by Mr. Parker, of Roehampten, who likewise became a prize holder. The roses were especially attractive, and reflected great credit on the successful competitors : Messrs. Lane and Sons, Berkbampstead ; Mr. Francis, of Hertford; and Mr. Bet tridge, Milton-hill, Bucks. Mr. Green, the gardener to Sir Edward Antrobus, Bart., of Cheam, obtained the . 11rst distinction for the azalias grown by him; and Mr.n am gardener to S.

CATTLE.—The sailing packet, Jonge Charles, arrived at the Brunswick-wharf , Blackwall, on Mon day, which from Flushing, or Yliessengen, in Holland, brought a c:ti-go of live cattle, consisting of 202 sheep, the produce of that country. We believe that this is the first importation which has taken place of live cattle direct from Flushing. SUGAR DUTIEs.—We beg to inform our readers. and the friends of the anti-slavery cause generally, that it is proposed by Sir Robert Peel that the debate on the sugar duties shall take place on the 12th instant. It is the inten tion of the Aziti-Slavery Committee to petition Parliament that the duties on free-labour sugar, whether produced in the British possessions abroad or in foreign countries, shall be equalized. The principle of exclusion they apply to slave rocllicss and to that alone... 4f_ o ur r r y &forte?... ER GUILDFORD, ' „ POATSMOUTH, AND VAREHAM RAILWAx. (THIS DAY.) A special general itiet Chg. of the scripholders in the Guild. ford, Chichester, Portsmotith, arid Fareham Railway Com pany, was held this afternoon, in purstninn of the sessional orders, at the Nine Elms station of the London and South- Wes_tern Railway, for the purpose of having submitted td their consideration copies of two Bills—the first, "A Bill for autimiising the pale of the Guildford Junction Railway, and for enabling the purchasers to Maintain the same, and to make and maintain a railway therefrom to GOdaltning, and from the London and South-Western Railway at Farehatti to Portsmouth;" and the second, "An Act for making rail ways from Guildford to Chichester, and from Fareham to Portsmouth, with branches to Petersfield, in the county of Hants, and to Chichester Harbour, in the county of Sussex." Mr. Henry Currie, the banker, was voted to the chair, on the motion of Mr. Mangles, seconded by Mr. Jones. The CnAinmAtt sal.), in the absence of Mr. Chaplin, who. was the permanent chairman of the Company, he had great pleasure in taking the chair. The proprietors were aware that the capital of the Company was a million and a quarter, .in 20,000 shares of 501. each, and 20,000 shares of 121. 101, each. The number required by the sessional orders to con stitute a meeting was one-third, or 25,000 shares, niakingin amount 416,700/. The propt ietors had sent in scrip tar ex ceeding that amount, and they would have sent them to a still greater extent, were it not that they were anxious to avoid the trouble of registration. The number of 501. shares sent in was 10,513, or 525,7501., and the number of 12/. 10s. shares 1,7483 , or 87,437/. 10s., making a total of 12,263 3 / 4 shares, and 613,1871. 103. of capital. and being 3,929 3 / shares and 196,4871. 10s. capital more than the sessional orders required. He did not know whether it was necessary for him to trouble the meeting with any observations on the merits of the two Bills They were aware that both of them had a good chance of being passed ; indeed, one had already passed the C anmens, and was now before the Lords, who, he had no doubt, would shortly report favourably upon it. He should be happy to answer any questions the meeting might be desirous of putting. After a short pause, the SOLICITOR (Mr. Bircham) read the breviats of the two Bills; and a resolution approving and authorising the ditec'ors to proceed with them, was moved from the chair and carried unanimously. The meeting terminated with the customary vote of thanks to the Chairman. REGENT'S CANAL COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting of this Company was held yester day, at the establishment, City-road Basin, J. E. D. Bethune, Esq., in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the agreement as to the project for transforming the Regent's Canal into a railway having become void in consequence of the required amount not having been subscribed, the sum of 5,0001. deposited as caution money by the committee of that scheme, became the property of the Regent's Canal Company, and that the same had been transferred to the ac count of the reserve fund, thereby increasing the amount 01 that fund to 13,835/. 183. 2d. The committee had borrowed of this amount 2,6051. 17s. 3d. to pay for a portion of the property required for the new entrance to the Limehouse Dock. The tonnages in the six months ending the 31st of May, amounted to 528,865 tons, producing a return 18,934/., and the profit for the half year ending 81st of March last, amounted to 13,057/. 163. 9d., making with 3931. 4s. 6d., an amount of 13,451/. Is. 4d. to be carried to the profit and h,ss account. A deduction of five per cent. on the net profits of the half-year was suggested as a remedy for preventing the reserve fund sinking below 10,000/, the amount agreed upon for that fund before a dividend be de clared. In conclusion, the committee suggested a dividend out of the profits of 12s. per share, leaving a balance of 600/. towards the next account. After the reading the report Mr. Greeu and Mr. Mayhew were rather vituperative against some of the directors for jobbing in the shares of the com pany, which ltd to a long discussion, in which the Chairman, Mr. Alderman Wilson, Mr. Ilitchins, Mr. G. R. Robinson, the solicitor, Mr. Lyon, and others took part. The transfer• book was ordered to be produced by the Chairman; but, on examination, for the last twelve months no shares were found to have been disposed of by the directors, which explanation seemed to be satiAactory. A proprietor asked if the Com pany had conic to any understanding between the East and West India Dock Railway Company, in respect to the canal? The Chairman said he could not at present publicly state what had transpired, but they might rely on the committee being quite alive to the interests of the proprietors. After a deal of discussion on various topics the report was adop'ed, when the committee and auditors were elected, and a vote of thanks having been passed the chairman, the meeting separated. COLuN lAL MONOPOLY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Can you or any of your readers assign to me a sound reason why I, who am denuded of all protection on the corn I grow and sell, should be required to support the colonial monopoly, by paying a protected price for the sugar, coffee, &c., I may require for myself and family ? It was surely always understood that when the differential duties on corn were abol6lied (the trifle which remains for three years being little more than enough to pay the costs of registra tion), the differential duties on all other articles were to be abolished also.-1 am, sir, &c., A TENANT-FARMER. We are requested to state that Mrs. Jameson's new work, " Memoirs and Essays on Art, Literature, and Social Morals," will be published by Mr. Bentley, New Burlington street, on Friday next, the sth inst SUICIDE OF A YOUTH.—Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. W. Baker, jun., deputy-coroner, at the Ship, in Finsburp•square, on the body of John Treacher Hall, aged 17 years, who committed suicide by swallowing an ounce of arsenic. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was the son of a respectable hat• manufacturer, of No. 6, Finsbury-square. For some time past the deceased had been in a low and desponding state of mind. He was .object to repeated bleeding at time nose, which appeared to alarm him and prey on his spirits. He was very absent in conversation, and there was no doubt his mind had become ' affected by his infirmity, which he Concealed from his family. On Sunday morning the deceased's brother, Mr. Arthur Hall, left him in bed awake. Shortly afters Ards a noise was heard in the room by one of the servants as was passing the dour. Mr. Hall immediately proceeded to his brother's apartment and found him lying on the bed in a state of great exhaustion and pain. Medical assistance was sent for directly, and Dr. Pervia was scon in attendance. He found the deceased vomiting and in a state of collapse. He prescribed for the deceased, and when he was restored to con sciousness Dr. Pervia asked him what he had taken. The deceased rep!i , d he had taken arsenic The deceased also informed Dr. Pervia that he had obtained the arsenic six months ago from the warehonse of his brother, who is a wholesale druggist, and that he had come to the determina tion of committing suicide, as there was no object worth living for. The deceased expired at one o'cl. ck on Sunday, three h. u s after he had taken the arsenic. On a post mortem ex amination of the body, Dr. Pervia found a large quantity of arsenic in the deceased's stomach. The jury returned a ver dict "That the deceased committed suicide while in a state of mental derangement." FARRINGDON GENERAL DISPENSARY AND LYING-IN CHARITY.—The annual dinner of this institution was held yesterday evening at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street. Mr. Alderman Copeland, M.P., who had corsented to preside, being by reason of a family affliction prevented from attend ing, Sir James Duke, M.P., the Alderman of the ward, took the chair. About thirty gentlemen sat down to an excel lent dinner provided by Mr. Clemow, which, with the wines, gave great satisfaction. Mr. J. Galswerihy, the secretary, read the report, from which it appeared that the number of patients relieved during the last year was 3,133. The com mitten announced the removal of the dispensary to much more commodious premises in Bartlett's-buildings, Holborn, an inspection of which they invited. It appears that the limited income of the charity is by no means commensurate with the calls upon it, and the greatest de-ire was expressed to free the institution from the debt of 3001. which at present hampers its efficiency. A donation of 30/. from the Presi dent, Lord Denman, was announced amid the cheers of the meeting, and a list of further donations, amounting to HI., was read by the treasurer, Mr. Deputy Beoford. Arrange• ments were made for bringing the claims of the charity and the great amount of good effected by it under the notice of the wealthier inhabitants of the ward by means of a deputa tion, and also for insuring more harmonious action between the committee and medical officers, the latter of whom, it appeared, claimed a vote in the proceedings of the com mittee. Since the establishment of the charity, in 1828, up to the commencement of the present year, relief has been afforded to no less than 53,590 patients, of whom at least one-fourth, inclusive of midwifery cases, have been attended at home. FATAL ACCIDENT ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S SHIP CALEDONIA.—PLYINIOUTIL JUNE 2.—On Sunday, the 31st ult., at sunset, when lowering the maintopgallant mast on board her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain Sir Manly H. Dixon, lying in Hamoaze, the lizard unfortunately gave way, and the mast fell on the deck and killed three persons. It appears that the top-gallant-yards of this ship—fore, mein, and mizen—are usually sent down at sunset; but, in conse quence of the Admiralty order for examining her spars and rigging, instructions had been given on board to lower the top-gallant- masts, in addition to the yards, so as- to be the more forward for commencing work the next day (Monday). At the time of the accident, Captain Dixon, the three Lieu tenants (including Lieut. Jones, the officer of the watch), and most of the crew, were on deck. The lizard, unfor tunately, ti as not securely stopped, and when the man at the mast-head found it slipping from the mast rope, he sung out, as usual, "Stand from under." There were from forty to fifty hands underneath, who rushed forward out of danger. The sufferers, who were more aft, and not in a dangerous position, unhappily followed the others, and thus came right under the mast. In falling from the mast-head the top-gallant mast caught in the rigging, canted, and fell horizontally across the deck. Three persons were killed on the spot, viz., Mr. C. P. Lamb, assistant clerk, William Slaney, a marine, leaving a widow and five children, and Thomas B. Herbert, first-class boy. Charles Pomeroy, a boy, had his shoulder dislocated, and was otherwise severely injured. The calamity has deeply affected Captain Dixon and the officers, and they have evinced their sympathy for the widow of the marine by a subscription in her behalf. The Captain has given 21., Mr. Bone, purser, 11., and the other officers in proportion. The marines volunteered a day's pay each. The boy Pomeroy was taken to the Boyal Naval Hospital, at Stonehouse, where an an inquest is to be held this evening on the . re t rn o a o th f o h se tr w b h e o st w h er a e nd k a i ; lle 4 d o . alr'eheleCnatletdoonhiear ii‘siadicefisctyieh,: shfilpnmosstt. n lower masts only stand aVni d n coetnhte, others are e o n Captaindet detached ed sßichardervie service.

A gravel digger observed what of its having he thought to be a dog, but on his approaching the animal he found his mistake, and ran off for assistance to secure the interloper, and information was given to some travelling menae eries at the fair held near, when it was ascertained that a young leopard had escaped from one of th e vans, and the owner of the missing animal set out in search o f i t. I n a very short time lie was joined by a large number of persons, who went in pursuit of the fugitive. The furze was beaten, and the common was scoured, but without success. The huntsmen were then apprised that their "game" had pro ceeded towards some cottages near Battersea. The sports : men, the number of whom' had considerably increased, ' then came up, and the " view halloo" was given, but the leopard was disinclined for further chase, and taking up his abode in a cart-shed, quietly permitted his keeper to secure him. BIRMINGHAM TO BE ERECTED INTO A GREAT CEN TRAL MI. ITARY DEPOT.—It has been stated in Birmingham this week, in quarters likely to be well-informed, that Go vernment intend to erect the military station there into a grand central depot, and to remove to it the greater part of the troops now stationed at Weedon. The central position of Birmingham, communicating as it now does by railway with all the principal ports in England, has, it is thought, suggested the propriety and advantage of making it the seat of a central depot, inasmuch as at a moment's notice troops might thence be dis,patcbed cad landed ip a few bouts in any Put of 6cotland, England, or Ireland.
