The above is an extract from the captain's log-book, and gives an account of the commencement of the awful storm which the Great Western surmounted on her pas sage from Liverpool to New York; one so terrific during its continuance, and marked by such a signal deliverance in the end, that it should be carefully related. " Sunday, 20th, at forty minutes past two, A.M.," con tinues the log, " srlit the fore staysail ; took in the re mains of it, and lay to under bare poles, the sea rising frightfully, and breaking over and against the ship. At four o'clock the wind increased to a heavy storm, and the sea running most furiously at the ship ; the wind veering to the north-west at the same time, an the ship breaking off into the trough of the sea, rendered our situation more critical. A great quantity of water got into the engine-room from the soot breaking over the ship, which was pumped out by the lee bilge pump. " Sunday morning most of the passengers assemble 3 in the cabin and saloon. Their haggard faces told too surely of the sleepless and anxious night • which had passed. Even those most ignorant of nautical affsirs could not fail to discover that we were in the midst of great peril. Few could dress with their accustomed care, owing to the violent pitching and constant rolling of the vessel. The stewards abandoned any attempt to prepare the breakfast table, and both then and througi out the day were obliged to content themselves with bringing such articles of food as were most convenient to those who felt any disposition to eat. " Eleven o'clock, A.M.—A heavy sea broke over the fore part of the starboard wheel-house or paddle-box, which started the ice-house and large iron lite•boat from their fastenings, and washed them to leeward, and with much difficulty they were temporarily secured." To understand this, the reader must bear in mind that the Great Western is, so to speak, three stories -high forward and aft, and two in the waist, or middle of the ship; aft, there is the lower story or cabin, above it, the saloon, the roofer covering of which is the quarter deck, and may for the purposes of description be consi dered as a third story. In the waist, or middle, the lower story is occupied by the engine -room, the roof or covering of which is the main deck. On this main deck, in the centre, are placed the chimneys, galleys, and ice house. The various offices appertaining to the stewards and police of the ship are at the sides. This part is open above, and protected by the wheel-houses and sides of the ship, which rise to the height of fourteen feet. The width of the paddle-box is about twelve feet. The ice-house contained some seven or eight tons of ice, and was fastened by elects and stprichions. Let the reader imagine the force of the sea, and the height of the wave, which, rising over the paddle-box, struck the ice house and the large iron life-boat above it, twisted them from their fastenings, breaking the ice-house into two parts, ripping off the planks, crushing the starboard com panion way, and only prevented from making a clear breach in the sides of the ship by a sudden lurch to port. rigging. " At 11 o'clock and 15 minutes A.M. attempted to wear ship, to get her on the other tack (thinking she would be easier), as the wind still continued to veer to the northward. Lowered the after gaffs down; manned the fore rigging, and loosened the weather yard-arm of the foresail, to pay her off, but found it had no effect. There fore let her come to again. In the meantime the square sails blew away from the yards. " Half-past 11 A.M.—The lee quarter boats were torn from the davits by a heavy lee lurch of the ship, bending the davits, and tearing out the ringbolts from their stems and sterns. " Word was passed among the passengers that two of our boats were gone, and the others were likely to fol low, the davits and bolts beginning to give. But not a remark was made; each spoke to the other only through the eye; and the ominous silence which pervaded the whole company told how sensibly all felt themselves in the very presence of the King of Terrors, uncertain of their doom. " At noon, storm and sea raging in all their fury, sea still breaking over the ship; a heavy sea struck the lar board paddle-box and smashed it to atoms; sprung the spring beam, breaking the under half; shattered the parts of the ship attached thereto. A splinter struck the captain on the head while standing on the poop, and the force of the blow, together with the sea, carried him over the lee quarter, and he was only saved by the nettings. " After this sea had passed over, we found the water had gained on the pamps ; the wind appeared to lull a little and the ship a little easier, but still blowing a storm. All the hatches, except those made use of for passing into the engine-room, were battened down, and the skylights partially covered. The weather continued the same until midnight, at which time it lulled for half an hour. " Monday, 21st, 12.30," continues the log, "the storm commenced raging again in all its fury, and the sea a perfect foam, until eight A.M., at which time the clouds began to break and the squalls less furious. Got the ship's head to the N.W. and hauled the yards round, the sea still raging as before, and nearly ahead, curling and breaking over the ship in every direction. At noon the sterna ceased ; but the sea continued more violent till two p.m., at which time it ceased gradually with the wind, having lasted about thirty-six hours; during which time it gives Me much pleasure to state my officers and crew concluded themselves with great coolness and pre sence of mind." At half-past five o'clock on Monday morning we were in the greatest possible danger. Mr. Stevens, one of our passengers, who was an eye witness, says of it—" A peculiar lifting of the haze in the east, with an appearance of au amber coloured belt of light, low down on the horizon, warned us of an ap proaching blow. Presently it came, a perfect tornado. driving before it the clouds of spray, and, as it neared us, fairly lifting up the white foam from the waves, like a shower of rain. As the squall struck us, the ship careened over and buried her gun-wales in the ocean, and lay for a few moments stricken powerless, and ap parently at the mercy of the savage waves that threatened to engulf us. This was the trial, the last round fought between the elements and our gallant vessel. At this critical moment the engine was true to her duty. Still went on its revolutions, and round and round thundered her iron water wings. Gradually recovering her up right position, the good ship, with head quartering the sea, came up to her course, and all was well ; it was the climax of the storm ; the last great effort of the whirl wind king to send us to the sea giants' cave below." On Monday, about 12, the storm had abated suffici ently to admit of standing on the upper step of the corn pardon-way with safety. It was a sublime, but an awful spectacle. The ocean still laboured under the effects of the hurricane. The wind veered 20 points in 36 hours.; it is impossible to imagine or describe the wild and tangled confusion of the waves. Rising to a height ap parewly greater than that of the mainmast, they leaped and roared around the ship, as if hungry and maddened at the loss of their prey. At times the Great Western seemed as if lowered by unseen spirits into her watery grave ; and every moment you expected to be filled in, and her requiem sung by the winds amongst the wilder ness of waters. But our danger was past, and with grateful hearts, on Tuesday morning, all assembled in the cabin to render au act of commoa prayer and thanksgiving. After the religious cervices were ended, Mr. Archi bald Gracie, of New York, was called to the chair, and the Rev. Mr. Marsh appointed secretary. On motion, it win " Resolved—That a committee be appointed to draught a resolution expr ess iv e of our gra tit u d e t o Almighty God for his great goodness in our almost miraculcus de liverance from destruction, and also to the captain, offi cers, and crew of the ship for their arduous labours, and their skill, firmness, and perseverancs in carrying the ship through her late perilous condition." The same committee was charged with the duty of reporting a suitable memorial of our gratitude to the captain, officers, and crew. The Chairman, Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Beecher, of Cincinnati, the Rev. Mr. Balch, Dr. Washington, and Dr. Detmold, of New York; Mr. Hutchinson, of Geor giana ; Mr. F. Mather, of Geneva ; and Mr. Rawlings, Of England, constituted the said committee. The Rev. Mr. BALCH, at the request of the committee, stated, at a subsequent meeting of th e p assengers , t h e c onclusions at which the committee had arrived, when, subsequently, it was resolved that two subscription papers be opened, one for the purpose of giving a suit ablo testimonial to the captain, officers, and crow, tho other to form the nucleus of a fund for the relief of the families of those whose heads and supporters have been lost at sea, and to he called " The Great Western Fund;" said money in the meantime to he deposited in the hands of James B )orman, Pelatiah Perritt, Rev. Lewis P. W. Balch, James Lennox, and Rohe: B. Minturn, of New York, as trustees: In pursuance df the above resolution, Mr. Gracie ad dressed The following letter to Captain Mathews:— "At Sea, on board the steam-ship Great Western, Sept. 28, 1846. "Sir,—As chairman of the committee appointed by the passengers on board of this ship, I have now the pleasure of informing you that the sum of 200 L 10s. has been subscribed by them, to be presented to the captain, officers, and crew of the Great Western,' is a token of the estimation which is entertained of their valuable services during the late perilous scenes through which we have passed. To those services, as well as to the great strength and other admirable qualities of your noble ship, we are (under Providence) indebted for the preservation of our lives. " To yourself in particular (without overlooking the meed of praise due to others) we would express our feelings of admiration of the coolness and skill displayed by you during the trying period of peril, when, while endeavouring to prevent alarm among us, you did not, when called on, withhold from us your sense of the danger to which we were exposed. "Of the above subscription in behalf of the passen gers, I ask your acceptance of the sum of 804, now presented to you by the treasurer, in the beautiful purse which has been worked for the occasion by one of our fair passengers; and to distribute the remainder, which is contained in another beautiful purse, presented by one of our fair passenlnirs; among the officers and crew under your command; agreeably to the schedule whilit accompanies it. "At the same time it gives me pleasure to inform you that a liberal contribution has been made, with the view of creating a fund for the relief of families whose heads and supporters have been lost at sea, and that in compli pliment to yourself and this ship, as well as in comme moration of the signal mercy we have experienced in her, it is to be called the' Great Western Fund.' "With sincere wishes for your continued health and prosperity, I remain, with great regard, "Respectfully yours, " ARCIIIBALD GRACIE, Chairmen. " To Captain Mathews." To this letter Captain Mathews returned the following answer : " Great Western steam-ship,at sea, Sept. 28,1846. . - " Sir,—Your letter to me, in behalf of the passengers by the Great Western steam-ship under my command, I feel as a very great compliment to my, ship, officers, and self, and, in reply, I beg to tender most gratefully our best thanks and warmest regards. " It is to Divine Providence alone that we are all in debted for our safety ; for during my long experience at sea I never witnessed so severe a storm, and had it not been for the good qualities of my noble ship, under the direction of God, she could not havp weathered it.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, S UNDA Y. —We understand that two captains, who would have been included in the brevet promotion on the 9th proximo; for their active flip, have, for conscientious reasons, signifii.d their intention to the Admiralty of accepting the offer of retirement. One of them is the gallant and highly-distinguished Captain Henry Hope, C. 8., the only other officer besides Captain Hornby below the rank of admiral to whom a❑ honorary medal has been granted, and that was for the capture of the American frigate President, on the 15th of January, 1815. Thus, by the death of Captain Wilkes and the above retirements, the promotion of the 20 seniors to the rank of rear-admiral will now include the Comptroller of the Coast Guard, Captain the Hon. William Gordon, late Lord of the Admiralty, and Cap- Charles John Austen, C.B. THE SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION. The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain W. F. Lapidge, arrived at Spithead last evening from the Mediter- ranean. She had been to Southampton, and landed at noon his Excellency Lord Howard de Walden, British Minister at Lisbon, family, and suite. The squadron under the chief command of Vice- Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., at Gibraltar, con sisted of (when the Cyclops left, on the 3d inst.) the Hibernia, 120, Captain Peter Richards, flag Of Vice- Admiral Parker; the Trafalgar, 120, Captain Nott, Commodore Sir J. G. Bremer ; th e Rodney, 92, Captain Collier, C. 8.; the Albion, 90, Captain Lockyer; the Vanguard, 80. Captain Willes; the Superb, 80; Captain Corry; the Spartan, 26, Captain Symonds; and the steam-sloop Rattler, Captain Smith; the Polyphemus, Commander M'Cleverly; the Virago, Commander Lunn; and the Phmnix, Commander Dennis. The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, had gone to Malta for provisions for the squadron. The Cyclops arrived at Lisbon on the 4th inst., and embarked Lord Howard de Walden, family, and suite, whom she brought home, on leave. The Cyclops was delayed a few days, to endeavour to tow the flag-ship Hibernia through the Straits, it being the Admiral's intention to pass the squadron through, by steam-vessels, in two divisions; but, owing to strong westerly winds, he failed in accomplishing his. wishes. Later intelligence, however, informs us the squadron had succeeded in passing through (by an easterly wind), and had proceeded off Cadiz, with the probability of its entering that port., The squadron was perfectly healthy and in the highest state of efficiency, having watered at Tetuan, and com pleted their previsions. The Cyclops remains at Spithead for orders. The Penelope steam-frigate was commissioned on Friday evening by Captain Henry W. Giffard. Yester day she was brought under the dockyard sheers, and took in her fore and mainmasts and b ows p r it. Sh e will be cqmpleted in her roasting to-morrow. The Belvidera provision depot, Master-Commanding Peter Wellington, has very rapidly progressed in her fitting under the hands of the dockyard riggers. Her top gallant masts were got on end yesterday morning. Her lower and topsail yards are across, and a great portion of her running rigging rove. The Vengeance, 84, was commissioned yesterday morning by Captain S. Lushington, and immediately afterwards taken into dock. Although the officers and crew of the Retribution are all transferred to her, the pendant has not been struck on board the steamer yet ; she will be the hulk for the Vengeance. The Nautilus, 8. L'eutenant-Commander Macdonnell, went out of harbour to-day to Spithead. Captain George Eliot gave up the command of the Eurydice yesterday, and — left fur London. On Friday evefling he gave an elegant entertainment at the George Hotel, to the officers of the Eurydice, which was highly gratifying to all present. Yesterday morning, on taking leave of them on board, the men mounted the rigging and gave him three hearty cheers on leaving the ship. WOOLWICII, OCT. 17.--:The name of the Eclair steam sloop, formerly the Infernal, and a vessel of more than ordinary notoriety, owing to her being the scene of so many fatal cases during the existence of the fever which broke out in her when on:the African station, is ordered to be changed to the Rosamond. The Garland steam vessel, Captain Smithett, will occupy some days in having her defects made good, when she will return to Daver. Tho Charon steam-vessel has been sent there in the meantime, during the absence of the Garland. The Porcupine steam-vessel, Captain Bullock, having had her engines surveyed and repaired, left Woolwich on Tuesday afternoon for Ramsgate, and is expected to proceed to Ireland. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master-Commander Petley, proceeded to Gravesend on Tuesday, where she embarked a party of the Royal Marines of the Chatham division, and brought them up to St. Katherine's-wharf, where they embarked in a steamer for Ireland. The Wildfire, Mr. Brockman, Second Master, com manding, proceeded up the river with the baggage of The Retribution steam-frigate, Ciptainiuslimgtisn; is ordered to be paid off at Portsmouth. Lieutenant Crawley is appointed to the Gladiator steam-frigate at Woolwich, and Mr. 11. G. Cunningham Second Mate to her. Sir H. Pottinger will embark in the early part of the week. The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, has un dergone several alterations since her experimental trip; but it is found difficult to get her to a sufficient depth in the water to give her stability. Forty tons extra of water was taken on board on Thursday, when trying her engines at her moorings. The vessel is admirably con structed for a war steamer; but her extreme buoyancy, which it was at first imagined could be overcome by having sufficient weight on board, has been found more difficult to master than was anticipated. Vessels in Harbour—The William and Mary yacht, the Sidon steam-frigate, the Gladiator steam-frigate, the Black Eagle, the Lightning, and the Dwarf steam-vessel, the Plover surveying vessel, and the Ceres depOt. In the Basin—The Sphynx, the Geyser, the Rosa mond, the Medea, the Amphion, the Vixen, the Kite, the Grappler, the Violet, and the Ariel steam-vessels. In Docks—The Monkey and the Garland steam vessels. . . The Vindictive, 50 guns, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Sir W. F. Austen, K.C.8., by the latest accounts was at Quebec. The Admiral had gone with a party of friends to visit the falls of Niagara, and on his return the Vin dictive will sail for Halifax. The Countess of Cathcart was on a visit to the Falls at the same time. Mr. John E. Haig, midshipman of the Vindictive, fell overboard that vessel on the 24th of September and was drowned. Every exertion was made to save him by throwing over a life-buoy, but he never rose again. The Gulnare surveying schooner, Captain Bayfield, had arrived at Montreal, from surveying Lake St. Peter. The Belleisle troop-ship,,left Quebec on the 15th of Sep tember, with 400 invalids on board, from regiments serv ing in Canada, and sailed for England. She will touch at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and take on board 100 invalids from that garrison. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

TIMES.—If it is i❑ the nature of e%euts to force people to think, the events of the last four months must have set the Protectionist party a thinking. Already the more observant and reflecting members of this class must have devoutly thanked Providence for a consum mation which, however it may have positively wounded their pride or seemed to damage their interests, they must now acknowledge to have saved them from the im petuosity of popular hatred, and the horrors of national convulsion. No one can for a moment conceive the pos sibility of the old corn-law existing under the present pressure of dearth and indigence. Had any Govern ment attempted to maintain it, the attempt must ha►e been enforced by bayonets and_ polluted by bloodshed. What would have been the fate of a political party rash enough to identify itself with so outrageous an obstinacy, is more easy to conjecture than the bare probability that such a party could have been created. The calm good sense —not to mention the humanity—which we hope distinguishes all classes of Englishmen, would have in terfered to shield a political combination from the worst of social crimes and the most terrible of social calamities. As it has turned out, the corn-law was abolished just in time to preserve its defenders from a most serious dilemma, and the nation from enormous confusion. And now that it has ceased to exist, its old supporters have leisure to inquire what was the value of its lost protec tion, no less than what is the worth of its lingering remnant. The answers to these queries must be looked for in the physical and social state of the inhabited earth: The value of all human laws must eventually be referred to the action of those higher laws by which Creative Wisdom regulates the nuiverse. On the subordination of the former to the latter depends the success of those institutions by which man combats the necessities and provides for the wants of his changeful and uncertain condition. And what presents itself to our notice, as we survey the resources and the exigencies of distant and populous nations ? We heard strange tales of lands rich in the prodigal exuberance of spontaneous but useless produce—of deprecated corn fields and diraded harvests. We were taught that Provi dence had laid in stores of ruinous abundance on the banks of the Ohio and Mississippi on purpose to overwhelm the trade of Briti h agriculture, and swamp the industry of the British farmer. Men were instructed to regard plenty with a greater horror than famine ; and, lo! their reward. The famine has come ; but where is the antagonist plenty ? Famine is on our shores ; but what soil is irrigated by the refreshing streams of a counteracting abundance ? Alas ! the laws of man are dependent on those of God. They cannot control, neither can they thwart, the disposition of Heaven. Nature will tot be defrauded of her rights, nor, when human folly has provoked her, of her revenge. That which existed before the corn-law was dreamed of sur vives its extinction. The original condition of our being remains unchanged and unchangeable. The great struggle is between man and food—between life and its suste nance. Search the world through and through, this iron fact stands out in hard prominence to pro voke and to defy our energies. From the poor Cingalese . subsisting on his rice to the humblest Celt starving on his porridge, the multitudes of the human race have a scant and rude subsistence. Comfort and competence are for the few ; contented indigence for the many. Earth has yet failed to satisfy the longings or the labours of her suns. There are myriads of acres as yet untilled, miles of allege but rudely and poorly adapted to the cravings of their occu pants. This fact the average condition of the human race might long; ago have brought home to the sense of eve: y logislator, even were each legislator aiandowner. But it requir, s the prerent tenors of an extraordinary calamity to mike men recognise a truth so often illus trated by the recorded sufferings of humanity. Dearth is' on our island; and hunger on our he4rchs, ere we conress the pre-ordained law and struggle of our being. Six months ago men talked with fear of the bounties of God; and now they are punished by the fear of their withdrawal. The harvest of this autumn has been prolific of the b( tter sorts of grain. Buperficial ob servation would have chuckled over the prospect of a more than usual supply of food. Low prices ruled the market, and were expected to rule it for some time. " There is plenty of corn at home," it w as sa id : " and if more is imported, it will be dirt cheap." In the midst of these prophecies a power greater than man's was at work. The "mildewed ear blasted its wholesome brother;" the humble root, though it did not breathe its fatal taint, yet threw a baneful influence over the nobler and richer food. The poor can never suffer alone. That which supports them is but taken from the common stock of human food. And when the very poorest are deprived of their usual subsistence the pri vation must spread far beyond even their wide click. Necessity then trenches—as it is trenching now—on the stores of the affluent and the middling classes. From dearth of potatoes to dearness of bread is a shorter in !Tura ,t.) , •".. Joeusn' ‘l,......a_ra i _ u nd_thia_mauviunLi barulon_ the inexhaustible magazines of wheat ant meal where with our people were to grow fat and wanton? Alas for the fatuous ignorance of man! They are not. Nature will not work miracles to save theories. Those who shut their eyes to her laws must perish by her laws. Those who seek to thwart her operations must bend at last beneath their force. Now, when we crave food for our poor, we find it removed from us. The harvests of Europe are insufficient for the exigen cies of Europe. France is straitened even more than ourselves. Austria is bidding against us in the marts of the Mediterranean. Odessa is well nigh drained. And America !—that land of fabulous redundance answers to the requirements of an ordinary commerce, but not to the demands of an extraordinary need. It has a suffi ciency for our average, not for our present, wants. She has sent us 641,112 barrels of flour more than last year; she is about to send us wheat and Indian corn: yet, even with this prospect the price of bread has risen at Glas gow, it has risen in London, and Indian corn is becom ing dearer every day to the Irish peasant ! And this, too, in the first quarter of our provision year l What will the state of things be when the American canals are frozen, when the liners have ceased to run, and the pas sage is alike blocked up from the far west to the eastern ports, and from those ports to England ? " Yet in the face of such a crisis we are maintainiug a rate of duty which, though it may never become rigidly prohibitory, must embarrass the speculations of the corn trade, and complicate a great catastrophe with the evils of delay, uncertainty, and irritation. Is it wise to bolster up such a system, or brave the odium which it must excite ? CHRONICLE.—We can hardly suppose that any public man of note in France participates in the absurd speculations which some of the newspapers of that coun try are just now busy in propagating. In this country there has been a very general and unequivocal expres sion of dissastisfaction on account of the marriage of the Infanta with a French Prince. Everybody can under stand the anxiety of the Court and Government of France to make it appear that this is but an indication of indi vidual, or at best of party, discontent; and we were not, therefore, surprised at their efforts to give a totally false colouring to the recorded opinions of the British Cabinet. At first it was only a fit of temper of a particular Minis ter. By-and-bye this Minister is found to have partizans amongst his colleagues. Then it is only " a section of the Cabinet" that is displeased. New light breaks in however, and it is reluctantly admitted that the Cabinet is united. It is even said that the strongest expression of opinion comes from those quarters from which the greatest indulgence had been anticipated. This is unlucky. But still " it is only the opinion of the Whigs." The matter can be easily set to rights. The Ministry must be changed. The Ministry must be changed ! So we are coolly told by the organs of the French Court—by newspapers notoriously in communication with members of the King's Government. Our Paris correspondent, indeed, goes so far as to assure us that the suggestion has been openly made by a member of that Government. There are very few of his countrymen, we apprehend, who refuse to do justice at iV.I events to Lord Palmers ton's motives in the administration of foreign affairs. Nobody supposes him to be in any degree influenced by personal or party feeliegs. But if these, and not the interests of his country, could be regarded as the springs of his policy, surely no man could have better reason to rejoice at this recent triumph of French intrigue. It is the complete justification of all those views and opinions which have been so much misrepresented, and therefore misunderstood. And so it is felt to be. To ascribe then, as the French journals do, to the " personal feel ings" of Lord Palmerston his lisapproval of the Spa nish marriage, is an absurdity too glaring to call for serious notice. To say that st Iran's pride is wounded by an event that gives practical evidence of the sound ness of his judgment and the propriety of his conduct, is simply a contradiction in terms. We can appreciate the uneasiness of the French Government at finding that there is not, upon this event, a shadow of differ ence in the opinions of our rulers. There is really no greater evil attendant upon party contentions in a state, than that the combatants should su far lose sight of the common interest of all parties as to have recourse to foreign influence to turn the evenly-balanced scale. Let this once become the tenure upon which power shall be held, and adieu to the greatness of this empire. In pro portion as men come to coincide in their views of do mestic policy, and this ground of difference is narrowed between then, does the danger i ncrease to .our external a affairs being administered , not so much with view to our own interests as to conciliate .

It is not twelve months since the French Govern. ment scattered circulars over the kingdom, announcing to their prefets almost in so many words, that Louis Philippe had dismissed the English Ministry, because he was not altogether satisfied with the new Foreign Secre tary. If indeed French rulers did sneered in getting hold of such a position, they are at length effcctua.ly dislodged. The disguise under which they entered no longer imposes upon the most credulous, and we may at least console ourselves that in the hearty union of out statesmen we have some compensation for the gross in• stilt and publio wrong that has produced it.

Our generous ally distributes promises of office to those whom he considers to be his servants in England just as he sends the crosses of his Legion of Honour to it's , creatures in Madrid. This, kowever, is to mistake oar national character—to confound the principles of action in one country with those in another—a blunder hardly to be expected from one who has had such peculiar op rortunities of knowing us. The members of the late Government must now feel how completely they have been duped. W hen they call to mind the successive steps by which they have assisted an ambitious and un scrupulous Power to arrive at an object which they admit to be unjustifiable, which they believe to be dangerous to the peace of the world, they must feel how grossly their confidence has been abused, and we have no doubt they will, as far as they can, compensate for their error by supporting those upon whom is imposed the daty of repairing its effects. POST.—Attempts are daily made by a section of the influential Irishism of the sister kingdom to fix upon England the whole responsibility of checking the famine which is decimating their unhappy countrymen. The people are taught to believe that it is the Government and not the scarcity, which starves them;—that the price of food depends not upon the amount of importa tions from abroad, but upon the reality of English sym pathy, and the inclination of the Imperial Parliament to do " justice to Ireland." In their political discussions, the settled misery of their condition as a nation is traced, as to a sole cause, to the " domination of the stranger," and if the occurrence of the potato blight is not directly ascribed to the same source of evil, we are significantly assured that the onus of administering effec tual relief lies properly at our door, and that we are justly held accountable for the consequences of possible failure. We deny the soundness of these conclu sions ; England is properly responsible for so much of the famine as can be shown to hive resulted from the denial of seats in the House of Lords to Catholic prelates, or the non-assimilation of the political rights enjoyed by the inhabitants of both countries. Trace the connexion of the dearth with the want of a domestic L' gislature ; show that the genius of famine is enlisted in the cause of repeal, and !hilt O'Connell has won over to the side of his proffs sioos the powers of the air, and we will admit at once, that the starved pea: ant who shouts tor a dissolution of the Union, is a martyr in &tepee of his country ; but until these facts are established, the efforts now made to relieve Ireland will he considered as so many sacrifices on the part of the State to assuage misery, which it had no sh ire in creating ; which could never have existed, if Irishmen of all classes had done their duty; or which, if inevitable, ought to have been alleviated without the aid of Government charity, or help of any kind, save that which native interests could furnish. It is at the present moment that the interference of England is truly degrading to the patriotism of Conciliation Hall. The value of good advice is great even in a time of national scarcity ; but we are at a loss to know the grounds upon which the " Liberator" con tinues to urge, despite the recent measures of the Viceroy, and whilst rejecting the idea of calling Par liament together in extraordinary session, the assem bling of the Irish laidlords• in Dublin, to "direct and control the Government" in the present emer gency. We should have no objection to the calling in of landlord-counsel, provided it were landlord•purses which had to find the means of earring into effect the result of their deliberations ; but as it is the wealth of the national treasury which must rescue the people frcm starvation, the Government have a right to say to the Irish landlords, "Stand from between us and the inter ests which you are not able to protect. You have, socially, at least, ruled the lard for ages, and this is the result of your supremacy—:•an inability to supply the want of Jumpers.' Talk not to us of the uninaliepable title which you have to the possession of the soil ; the existence of a perpetual right involves the performance of a perpetual duty. If the land is yours for ever, the nrcossity of finding food for the human beings who were horn on it rests for ever with _ou also. If they die of famine, whilst it can be male to grow somethirg mere life-sustaining than weeds or hemlock, it is you who are justly chargeable with the guilt of their destruc tion. They now appealed, as a last resource, to the supreme authority of the State, which can dispose of all rights, whether of property or existence, when the general good is in peril. Give way then, and pass into oblivion, wanting the charitable benison of—' Heaven bless you !' " MARY LEBONE VESTRY. EXPENSE_ AND ALLEGED INEFFICIENCY OF THE METROPOLITAN POLICE. -- On Saturday a very full meeting of tae Marylebone Vestry took place at the Court-house, Marylebone-lane, for the purpose of considering a notice of motion given on the previous Saturday— To consider the propriety of appointing a committee to investigate the very numerous complaints of the in efficiency of the police as it present constituted, and to ascertain the number of police employed in the parish, and to compare that number with the large amount char g 211! for their services ; and. lase to . L i u - LneraVituttall and the public at large, ought not to be revised." Mr. Gomm having been called to the chair, Mr. NICHOLAY rose to submit for adoption the fore going resolution. He observed that the vestry con sidered the subject one of the most vital importance, not only to the ratepayers of Marylebone, but to the inhabi tants of the metropolis generally. He was sure there was no-one who had paid the slightest attention to the matter but would agree with him that the present police force were a most inefficient body for the public protec tion, and at the same time an enormous expense, whilst the regulations that guided the officers in the perform ance of their duties were the greatest tissue of absurdities that could be contemplated. The question was, whether these foolish regulations emanated from Parliament or the commissioners. If from Parliament, then it would be the duty of the vestry to go to Parliament; and if from the commissioners, then they must call open Par lhment to correct the absurdity of the cemniissionors. Mr. Nicholay here at great length went into a variety of cases where robberies and other misdemeanours had arisen, in the Marylebone district, and where in frequent instances half an hour and sometimes three-quarters of an hour elapsed before a policeman could be found. Another strong ground of complaint was, that although that and other parishes were called upon to pay double the amount they ought to pay for the maintenance of police, on state and other public occasions they were drafted away for many miles, and the districts which paid were left entirely unprotected. The many com plaints whith could be substantiated showing the gross inefficiency of the police he hoped would induce the vestry to grant this committee. Mr. HICKMAN, in seconding the resolution, remarked that before the new police came into operation, the cost of a much more efficient police in Marylebone was under 10,000/. per year, whereas the present inefficient force cost 100 per cent. more. Under the old system they had in Marylebone 256 constables, whereas the nominal amount supplied by the police commissioners was 211. Mr. RIDGWAY could scarcely believe that any good could result from the committee proposed, when it was recollected that the p slice authorities set the public at defiance. He had communicated with the police com missioners frequently on the subject of the number of men employed in the large district in which he resided, and the commissioners had refused to give the desired information. He had, therefore, instituted inquiries himself, and he found that during the day the entire dis rict from Salisbury-court station-house, Marylebone, to the Swiss Cottage, at Hampstead, and to the Windmill, in Edgware-road, at Kilburn, there were but five police men employed. This, too, in a district covering a space of many square miles, having in the parish of Mar) le bone alone upwards of. 2,000 houses, and paying s police-rate of 2,044/. 13s. 6d. annually.—(Shame.) The fact was, that the whole conduct of the police was a perfect Star-chamber system, and instead of being the protectors of the public they were mere soldiers of the Government in disguise. Mr. Ridgway having cited a great number of cases a g ainst the police, concluded by expressing his opinion that the vestry should go to Par iament at once. Mr. WILLIAMS, M.P., thought the vestry were per fectly justified in taking up the matter, and at least he thought it proper that a general survey should be made, in order more equally to divide the charges for police rate. There could be no doubt in the world that many of the existing regulations of the police were absurd ; and he believed from what had fallen from members of the vestry, that a good case could be made out for the appointment of a Committee of the House of Cummins to inquire into the subjeot. After a few observations from Mr. SAVAGE and one or two other vestrymen, the resolution was put and car ried unanimously. After some further discussion, the vestry separated. THE LATE RODDERT OF BAIJE-NOTESAT ROGERS AND Co.'s.—Wit hin these last few days circumstances understood to have transp i r ed which leave no doubt are th atere long the ,large amount of property stolen from the banking-house of Messrs. Rogers and Co. will be recovered. That the whole of the notes, to the amount of 4e,0001., are still in existence, has been satisfactorily proved by the fact, that a few days since a it note, the number of which does not appear in ;he printed list pub- Itzdied and circulated, but which was stolen at the time, was forwarded to the banking house, the party sending it requesting the receipt of it to be accknowledged in the newspapers, and the whole of the notes would be re stored upon the payment of 10,000 L—the acknowledg ment to be to "H. F. This request was accordingly complied with; but, as to the compromise, that has itot been entertained; and, from a variety of circumstances which have transpired, but which would be at present highly injudicious to notice, further than the mere asser tion, no doubts are now entertained but that the whole of the stolen property will be IN covered, and at the same time such evidence will be adduced as to lead to the conviction of the offender. Paragraphs have occasion ally appeared, stating that some of the stolen notes have been circulated on the Continent. This is incor rect, for the steps taken by the solicitor for the prose cution, who sent over to the Continent a most intelligent gentleman, and who visited every banker, money changer, hotel, and caf6 between this country and Russia, render the negotiation of them impossible; and it is, therefore, well known that the whole of the stolen notes are at the present period secreted in the metro polis. A few days or weeks may, in all probability, elucidate this extraordinary and hitherto mysterious robbery. .EYEBROWS, MOUSTACHIOS, and WHIS KERS produced in a few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented lay the use of GEMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENE RATOR, an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers, a few drops of which cure headache in a few minutes ; it is also a most delightful, fragrant toilet perfume.

This lady had the following letter, inserted in the " Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weetley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Iterbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than it ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an Ils. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from cx perie•nce, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume It is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.— 3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming, thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering tho hair luxuriant and curly. A few dro-s en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a must necessary companion to die toilet. In cases of nevou' headache, pour ten or twelve drops, on the grown of the hea I ; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. it produteS hair on children's heads in a few appplic itions.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY liiiol7tNl;kG, OCT. 18, 9 A.M.— Just as we were about to dispatch our express for Lon don, the Noreen Whig of yesterday reached us, in which we find the following:— " The Great Britain remains in the same position (due west) she was in when I last wrote. The landing surveyor from the Newry Customs has been superin tending the landing of her stores for the last two days; and he has relaxed the rigidity of the Customs rules at first adopted, much to the comfort of all on board. The stores are deposited in the watchhouse of the Coast guard; very near where the vessel lies. On Thursday a party of gentlemen came from England who are in terested in the concerns of the ship, among whom was Mr. Patterson, who supeerintended her build in g at Bristol. " Mr. Gabriel, RS., who assisted in bri n g in g off the Gorgon steam-frigat e w h en agroun d in 184 5 , has also been here for s evera l d ays, exam i n i ng the position of the vessel, and com mun i cat i ng w ith th e agents and owners , with the view of undertaking to float her, which he ex presses himself perfectly able to do, provided he is sup plied with the requisite materials and hands. He has made drawings and calculations, from which he feels quite sure of su cce ss. " Mr. Coppin, from Perry, who succeeded in raising the engines, &c., of the Rambler, lost o n the Maidens, came here on Thursday, and had communications with Captain Hosken. All hands on board now muster about thirty five, but several are about to quit here to •morrow. Mr. Patterson examined her very minutely, and ex pressed his opinion that she had not suffered any injury at all likely to effect her being got off." • THE FOREIGN MAILS. POST-OFFIOE NOTICE.
