It forms a new era in the history of war, and con trasts nobly with the cruel system which has prevailed almost to the present day, and which was in full vigour during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. MARLBOROUGH was not a ruthless conqueror—on the contrary his disposition was humane, and inclined to mercy ; yet, in the most savage manner, he laid waste Bavaria, destroying men, women , an d children in thousands, without remorse, merely because the Elector considered himself bound in duty to adhere to the French alliance. The cruelties committed in the Palatinate by the French during a previous period were even still more atrocious, and by many were re garded only as the privileges of war. The ravages com mitted by BONAPARTE in Germany and Spain, the plunder, the murders, and almost ever y crime that lb.- lows in the train of a large army let loose upon a country, are too fresh in the recollection of our readers to require especial notice; but even his tyranny, and his savage treatment of the Queen of PRUSSIA and the first nobles of the land, were mild compared with that of the civilised Romans who graced their triumphs by leading captive kings in chains, and drowning their expiring groans with shouts of victory in the capitol. We rejoice that England has been the first to give such a noble example and estab lish a principle from which hardly any European power can venture to deviate. This will entitle her to respect in the councils of neighbouring sovereigns ; her advice to observe the rules of humanity in carrying on modern warfare, will tell with proportionate effect, and the profitable consequences of her p o li c y—th e obedience of the vanquished, the peaceful occupation of the ceded provinces, the ready payment of moderate taxes, and all the blessings of trade and commerce—will only give additional force to her precepts. To Sir Hi ENRY ITARDINGE, therefore, the country and the world at large are deeply indebted —he has made the triumphs of peace infinitely more glorious than those of war—his bravery and skill at Albuers, as well as many other places, during his active military career, and the fearless manner in which he led on the British regiments and the native troops at the desperate battle of Feroxeshah, have established his character as a warrior, yet he shines still more conspicuously when he practices the more noble arts of peace. Full details of the conditions imposed upon the Seikh Government, the disbandonment of the rebellious army, the behaviour of the natives, and the merciful treatment of the capital, as well as the delicate and prudent respect paid to the existing authorities, will he found at length under the proper head. It will be seen from these that there are still largo numbers of discontented armed natives collected in Lahore, in the provinces, and possibly many of the defeated troops have taken shelter to watch their oppor tunity: the British forces we therefore trust will not be speedily withdrawn or much diminished till some legitimate government, likely to control the lawless, be established in the Punjaub. The disasters at Caubul and their manifest causes ought never to be forgotten. It would be impossible to point out any circumstance in the hiatory ef Ireland which has caused such distress to her best friends in this country as the present opposition of the Repeal Members to the first reading of the Bill for the protection of life and property. A system has been adopted contrary to all practice, and persevered in with a determination and recklessness, not to say insolence, to the British House of Commons, which has excited strong misgivings as to the motives professed by the Opposition and the object of their attendance in Parliament during the present session. It is well known that a very large proportion of the Irish landlords are hostile to the repeal of the corn-laws, and they are consequently delighted to find such obstacles thrown in its way; but that Mr. O'CONNELL and his supporters should be the instru ments chosen to endanger one of the most im portant measures ever brought forward by a Minister, and one so anxiously desired by the people at large, and more especially the political leaders that have ever taken part with the oppressed Irish, ep pears totally incomprehensible. Before the commence ment of the session, he announced in Conciliation-hall that he was determined to resume his seat in order to assist the Government in carrying such a humane measure, and invited his friends to accompany him. They did come certainly, and many of them voted for the second reading, but they knew that would not decide the question. They took advantage of a privilege granted to a small minority, rather for temporary protection than for any other purpose— have joined with Lord GEORGE BENTINCE and the mono polists in weakening to a vast extent the moral power of the present Government—and for what purpose ? to oppose a Bill the avowed and the real object of which is to put down the greatest crime that can disgrace human nature. For this laudable purpose they hare for weeks prolonged the stagnation of trade in this country, increased the miseries of the work ing classes, and caused a loss of property which it would be difficult to calculate. But they have done infinitely greater mischief. They have given a handle to the Orangemen and to all enemies of Catholicism in this country, which will be used on the fitting occa sion. Exeter-hall and Dissenting meeting-houses, too, throughout the country will ring with shouts of execra tion when the M'GrtEus and O'SULLIVANS, and the rabid leaders of the intolerant party denounce O'CoN• NELL and the priests, and the whole Irish Catholics as the protectors of murderers, and confirm their assertions by adducing as a proof the sympathy displayed the priest, SAVAGE, and the whole of the population in the district, for the martyr, SEERY, condemned as an assassin on the clearest evidence. They will furnish plenty of proofs, too, that the POPES have encouraged and sanctioned assassination; that one of them gave his consent to the murder of WILLIAM of Orange, and that all the horrible Catholic massacres have been either planned or approved of by the Court of Rome. No opposition ever was so ill advised, and its fatal conse quences will yet be felt when any great boon is proposed for Ireland. The English are slow in believing ill of their neighbours, but they are the most obstinate of people in their prejudices. A letter from Warsaw, dated April 8, appears in the Universal Germa•z Gazette, from which we extract the following :—" We are informed that the negotiations between the Governments of St. Petersburgh and Rome are suspended for the moment. This is more than pro bable, as the Romish clergy are strongly implicated in the Polish conspiracy, and the Russian Government wishes to ascertain the real facts before it makes any concessions in favour of the Court of Rome." The Augsburgh Gazette says it is very doubtful whe ther the Empress of Russte will visit Rome, as she had originally intended. The Inspector of Police, BORUCKI, who had proceeded from Cracow to Cosel, by order of the Russian Govern ment, has returned with about 200 prisoners, whom he recognised as belonging to the territory of Cracow. The Cologne Gazette states that the Archduke FER DINAND DPESTE is in such disgrace, owing to his want of foresight during the recer.t events in Galicia, that he has altogether retired from public affairs. Madrid papers to the 12th have been' reeeived. The I new Ministers had that day taken the oaths of office. It was their intention to call the Cortes together without delay to ask from them a vote of supply, and to a law for th e regu l at i on of the press, which, being passed, the Cortes would be dissolved, and a new Cortes convoked. Dispatches had been received from CONCHA, dated Bene vente, 10th ApriL He states that he was pre paring to operate, so a 3 to cut off the retreat of the insurgents into Portugal, that some agita tion had. - manifested itself at Leon, and that a body of refugees and smugglers had entered from Portugal, and were advancing towards Astorga. It is el ident from the tone of these dispatches, either that the Ministry has not ventured to publish the whole of the intelligence received, or that CONCHA has not ven tured to tell the whole truth. According to the Cabtel lino the body of the refugees and smugglers alluded to by CoNcnA consists of 150 mounted men, commanded by General IRIARTE, the friend of FSPARTERO, who was proceeding towards Villar de Frades, where a company of infantry had pronounced. Lugo, too, was, according to the Castellano, in pos session of an insurgent force of 300 or 400 men. It was reported in Madrid that a corps of ca.rhi neers had joined IRIARTE, and that it was probable that he would be joined by the garrison of Tarragima— that there had been a battle between the Esparteroist, and the troops at Coruuna, in which the former were successful, and Ilan setively besieging General VILLALONGA. in the citadel. The city of San tiago had declared for the revolters, and it was also rumoured General VILLALONGA bad fled from Galicia and arrived at Santanda in an open boat.

MADRID BOLSA, APRIL 11. — Th e Three per Cents closed at 30 3-16 far cash, and 304 at 30 days. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. They all contain articles commenting on the late atrocious attempt to assasinate the KING. Extracts from the articles on thi; subject will be found in another column. The debate on the naval budget was re sumed on Thursday, and the Chamber aas addressed by Admirals LERAY and HRRNOUX, and MM. DE LAMARTINE and TRIERS. An amendment was pro posed jointly by M. TRIERS and M. JANVIER to the effect that the eighteen millions, deducted by the Com mittee, be employed in purchasing timber for the repairs or construction of vessels, and acc, pted by the Ministry, and on Friday the amendment was agreed to, and the Bill itself adopted unanimously, there being 305 Deputies present. Lords LANSDOWNE and PALMERSTON were present at the sitting on Thursday. The Committee on the law proposed for supplemen tary expenses for 1846 has recommended the Chamber to grant, with, reduction, the funds demanded by the Minister of Marine to increase the number of naval I officers. The reception of the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, at Toulon has been most cordial, and the GRAND DUKE has expressed himself highly gratified therewith. IBRAHIM PACHA was at Toulouse on the 14th, en route fur Paris. The KING and the Royal Family returned to Paris on Saturday. They arrived at the Tuileries at one o'clock, and were loudly cheered by an immense con course of people who were waiting their arrival. A few minutes afterwards the 2d Legion of National Guards went to the court of the Tuileries, and was immediately received by the KING, who went down in plain clothes, and passed between the ranks, leading by the hand the Comte DE PARIS, and followed by all the Ministers. The cheering was immense, and the QUEEN was seen in the balcony nearly overcome by her emotion and her tears. . The KING received the Members of the Chamber of Deputies at two o'clock. The Deputies went in grand procession from the Chamber to the Tuileries ; they were all dressed in black and marched two and two, headed by M. SAUZET, the President, the Vice-Presi dents and the Ministers. They were received in the throne-room of the Tuileries by the KING, who was dressed in a general's uniform, and who was surrounded by the QUEEN and the whole of the Royal Family. There were upwards of 300 Deputies present, amongst whom were MM. TRIERS, ODILON BARROT, DE Li- MARTINE, BERRYER, and CIRMENIN. MM. GARNIER, PAGES and LEDRU RoLut-r were absent. M. SAUZET, in the name of the Chamber, delivered an address, which was frequently interrupted by enthusi astic cries of " Vive le The KING, in replying. appeared greatly affected. - His MAJESTY, accompanied by the Count DE PARIS, afterwards appeared in the balcony of the Place Carousal, and was loudly cheered . The Chamber of Peers assembled at twelve o'clock on Saturday, and the Minister of Justice handed Duke PASQUIER a royal ordonnance convoking the Court of Peers immediately for the trial of the offence against the RaNG'S life, committed on the 16th. It was decided-that the Court should meet on Monday to hear the Procu reur- General make his statement, and the Peers then proceeded in procession to the Palace. A telegraphic dispatch from St. Etienne, received in Paris on Friday, states that the workmen have taker. up arms. It was stated that the movement was con nected with the cause of the Poles. All the troops in Lyons had been dispatchel to St. Etienne.

APRIL 21, 1846. The intelligence received from Lahore by the Over lanl Mail mill spread universal joy throughout the country. The victories in the Suticj were welcomed with enthusiasm, but rather because they were the result of dire necessity, because they were forced upon the 13ritish in self-defence, and saved a large portion of Bindestan from the plunder and ravages of a lawless army ; they too were mixed up with the most painful recollections, with '4 vast loss of brave troops and officers of long standing, who had, without this additional service, merited well of their country: many young men of high promise were cut off in the midst of their career, and the con• querors as well as the conquered had to struggle in a dire contest, amidst scenes of slaughter and death that even the bravest view with horror.

VIENNA, APIL 10.—The Austrian Observer declares that the account published by the German Universal Gazette of the suicide of the Prince of the Ligorians at Vienna, is " a scandalous tissue of falsehood." (From a Berlin paper.) VIENNA, APRIL 10 —The correspondence from Lem burg respecting the late events in Galicia, published in the Journal des liebats, causes a great sensation here. ft is probable that the sale of this paper will be prohi• bited in the Austrian monarchy after the Ist of July next. It is not unlikely but that between three and four hundred copies of the Journal des Debati have been sold in the capital alone. TREE' Es, APRIL 9.—The women who were drowned at Saar Louis on the 27th of March have left above 100 children ; in the village of Puttlingen alone, 60 children , lave become orphans in consequence of this accident. Subscriptions have been set on foot, which already amount to 600 dollars. Fnom THE MAINE, APRIL 10.—The affairs of the periodical press will, to all appearance, undergo a change in the course of a few months at least in Prussia, where t is expected that regulations for the press will be , vaned, which will abolish the censorship, as far as the .Affairs of the interior are concerned. On the other hand, the excesses of the rress are to be prevented, as 'ar as possible, by a very stri-.gent law on this subject. I'he German periodical press will thereby assume a new form, since the Prussian ordinance must have an influ ence on the other states. VIENNA, APRIL 9.—The Arch• Duke Governor- General of Galicia arrived here yesterday, and will stop several days. It is affirmed that the reforms which the Government intends to introdnee in Galicia are founded on the plan of taking, from the Nobles all the patrimonial rigLts which they have hitherto enjoyed, is well as the police authority which has bean ex elu sively in their hands. Great t hanger will likewise be made with re Teet to what are csllt-d the Robot days, (answering to the French Com .$). Numerous pro posals made by persons high in office, who have been acquainted with the province for yore, will also be taken into consideration. Among them is one for the dissolution of all the monasteries, and the abolition of all the privileges of the Nobles. The author, who be longs himself to the highest class of the aristocrats•, proceeds in the conviction that almost the whole of the L'olish nobility, without exception. my be consilered, as conspirators and deserving of this punish ment. According to his views, the citizens and pea sants should enjoy the same rights as the noblemen. PosEN, APRIL 9.—ln consequence of orders since yesterday, the fifth division of our tro ps will entirely leave the Grand Dutchy to-day. That this order is now given and executed, is a proof that our Government is convinced that every spark of the fire, which threatened our province, is extinguished, and that the manifold apprehensions which some persons still entertain are wholly unfounded. HANovEn, APRIL 14.—This is the birth-day of her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, who completed her 28th year of her age. In the course of the forenoon the Pencess received the usual congratulatory visits, and afterwards went with the hereditary Prince, her son, to the parade, where the garrison were drawn up to re ceive her. The Crown Prince seldom visits the parade, and was not present to-day. He is said to be still suf fering, and has been obliged during the winter to abstain from his favourite amusement, music ; rwr has there been any concerts at Court. The King was not at the parade. BERLIN, Arlin. 15.—The Consort of Prince William, the King's uncle, died last night, after lung suffering.

The charity and devotedne s s shown by her in the disastrous period from 1806 to 1813, caused the late King to place her at the head of the order of Louis, founded by him.—Hamburgh Papers, April 17. A FAR-FAMED MONASTERY AND ESTATE, THE FORD ABBEY IN DORSETSIIIRE.—Our attention has been called to this splendid property, announced for the first time, this day, in our journal ; and, at an early d ay we w i ll endea vour to cull, far the benefit of our learned readers, and from authentic records, some of the more remarkable events con nectod with this ancient and magnificent structure ; and which, it may be premised, will be found full of interest. Mr. George Robins, who plays the principal character in trans !erring this fine estate into other hands, will, in his researches (we suspect) render our commentary a very concise one. A few words are all we can now find roam for. The Abbey was founded in 1142, when it contained an abbot and twelve monks of the Cistertian order, and now presents the most perfect remains cf a monastery throughout the empire; the front extends to 300 feet. The monastery, whose antiquity we have traced, w as , i n i ts early stage, occupied by a famous soldier of Normandy, aho married the niece of William the Conqueror, and it is then traced onwards of Richard Pollard, Eq., through the instrumentality o f Henry VIII., in the 23d year of his reign, thence to Ed mund Prideaux, the Attorney-General of Oliver Cromwell, whose genius and exertion caused the completion of this once magnificent structure. We afterwards trace it through a long list of occupants to Francis, second eon of Francis Gwyn, Esq., M.P. for Wells. He was succeeded in the family name and estates by the late oc cupant, John Francis Gwyn, the last of a very long line of ancestors. It is recorded in history that this monastery contained more learning than any three o a r n a ( t i e i n t tracery iiein t a e n t t i l o c r, ar a N r • e i carving ti iy throughout classi which adorns the splendid ed to Mr. Gw 'n's acestor tl cti'alzile,Eebnxuitieuntnhsdie;'e'cfl(lidesteelrasb, magnificent tapestryt unsurpassable en throughout world. abbey so late as In ii3lB, and Jeremyl.ll y a l l ue d eßn s e t n a itk t il e lian a me p , a rented es t i n n t e e n d t st,iii this frombody ohdi sys,i t a h ,lie e t thence h issued will . ci s ea t yf i l e l d some of his best works..

Shares were very flat, and prices were lower, particularly scrip, with bu tfew transactions. The intelligence received from India, in anticipation of the overland mail, has been read witd considerable interest by the commercial classes in the City this morning. Wars to defend national honour and resent aggression are, of sours', necessary, but such events necessarily lead to injury as to mercantile pursuits, and to uncertainty as to returns in and from those parts of the world where Great Britain finds itself compelled to assert the dignity of its flag. The commercial accounts received this morning, after congratulations that peace had been arranged in the Punjaub (and without doubt upon a solid foundation), were next looked to, in the hope that seine announcement might be found of a revival in the demand for goods in the various presidencies of the East Indies, but the advices are not upon the whole of a satisfactory tenor. British manufactured cottons and woollens were in dull demand. In part, however, this state of things must be attributed to the holidays, which had just terminated as the present advises were sent off. I very active revival of trade was anticipated, but there was a scarcity of tonnage both at Calcutta and Bombay. The private as well as the public accounts from the West India Islands, brought by the Severn royal mail steam-ship, are most satisfactory. The drought, from nearly a ll quarters, is represented as being extremely severe, and the apprehensions as to the yield of the crops were almost hourly becoming more general. The public health, too, bad been somewhat damaged by the extremely hot weather. It ought, at the same time, to be stated. that shortly before the mail left some fresh showers had fallen, which, though but of little use to the canes ripe for cuttings would be of essential service to the operation of fresh planting. The calamity first alluded to would, it was hoped, be recompensed by the latter fact. The Funds have been extremely steady to -day--the flue taation scarcly having, as far as the Three per dent. Consols are concerned, amounted to more than %to per cent. Money stock may be considered rather more abundant, but the demand is very nearly equal to the supply. The amount of the money in the hands of the Accountant-General, and the Bank of England, on account of railway depoe;te, is too large to be conveniently withdrawn from circulation. and hence there is a strong desire, that either through Parlia mentary or other influence, there may be such a law passed as to compel the managing creamittees to wind up schemes now considered doubtful of success, or which (as is the case with too many of them) Ore wholly unwarranted to be carried out.

An entirely new drama, entitled The Bride's Journey, was for the first time produced at this favourite theatre yesterday evening. The incidents are copied very faith fully from an irteresting story (f: eunded. we believe, upon facts) which appeared in a late periodical. A brief outline will possibly recall to the memory of our readers the tale we have alluded to. Adelaide of Dres-- .len (Miss Vincent) proceeds under the care of Muzzouolo (Mr. Searle). en Italian bravo, in the pay of De Gaston (Mr. Ranoe). to join her husband, Henri Lockroy (Mr. A. Ray mond). at Vienna. Adelaide's )ther attendants are, Claudine, the bravo's wife (Mrs. G. Lee), and his im becile nephew, Karl, (Mr. J. H.iward). Muzzuolo, who has been ordered by De Gaston to assassinate his fair charge upon the journey, endeavours to effect his deadly purpose at different places on the route, but is unt tortnly frustrated in his design, parly from the aversion of Claudine to shed blond, but principal!y from the af fection entertained by the idiot Karl, who had been at tached to Adelaide's interest by a few kind words ; and the heroism of a moiety of mortality, Patoche, once a tailor, now a wandering minstrel (Mr. E. G. Burton). and his better half Ninette (Miss Eliza Terry). Even tually the lady arrives safely at the capital, the bravo is leservedly punished, and the Musical Tailor, who has returned to his shop-board, as deservedly rewarded. The representation of idiotcy upon the stage is at all times disagreeable, and the more closely nature is adhered to the more vividly painful is it to the audience. Mr. Howard has, however, with great gond taste, kept the more displeasing features in the background, while he has brought prominently forward the gratitude which form so beautiful a trait in the simpleton's character. 4r. W. Searle, as the bravo, realised all our imagine. dons of the Italian bandit, and so graphically did he pourtray the part, that the gods, forgetti ng t h e actor i n the character repre sen t e d , actually hooted the miscreant. A philanthropist might hail this ebullition of feeling as a proof that the morality of Surrey was of a high order, is it proved that Mr. Seark's delineation served the pur pose of morality so far that be rendered vice in a brigand less romantic than detestable. Miss Vincent, and Miss Terry were , as usual " up to" thei r p arts . Th other performances of the evening, Laid up in Port, and the White Crocs Knight, were received with the most , mmixed applause. REINFORCEMENTS OVERLAND TO INDIA. (From the Bombay Times.) Some of our Calcutta contemporaries are, we observe, speculating on a rumour—a somewhat foolish and im. probable one, as it seems—which appears to have goi afloat as to the likelihood of reinforcements being sent out to India from England through Egypt. From tilt answer the Pacha is said to have given to an applicatiot, reported to have been made to him on the subject, there does not seem to be any probability of his Highnt st throwing obstacles in the way. If any such applicatior. as that referred to has ever in reality been made, Me hemet Ali might most probably have discernment enough to see that he might enjoy all the benefit of e gracious promise where fulfilment was never likely to be required at his hands. It shows a sad disre gard of all consideration of the delay and difficulty incident to the details of transport, to dream of the superior celerity of the transit of ten or even five thousand men through Egypt, where previous preparation was impossible, and where everything must be done ir haste or on the spur of the moment. celerity being the only thing in view in preferring this to the more, cir cuitous route by the Cape. We shall suppose the diffi culties of the sea transport overcome, and that the first class steamers, with five thousand men, occupy no more than three weeks from Southampton to Alexandria ; less we could not allow them : it is a very different matter even when a lightly-laden packet, expected at u given day, and Ell well prepared for. arrives at Gibraltat or at Malta, and gets coaled and watered in ten hours, from having ten vessels with 5,000 passengers and about 1,200 of crews to provide for. A month under these circumstances would be more likely than twenty-one days to he occupied on the voyage. The Bombay Government meanwhile must have a corresponding fleet of steamers—fur sailing vessels would go as soon round the Cipe as to and from Suez— i. , the whole of the Ind an navy, waiting to receive them in the Red Sea. These two classes of arrangements we shall, for argument's sake, suppose accomplishable enough—though on this side particularly we suspect there would be found not a few obstructions in the way of their accomplishment. Let ns now inquire how the distance from Alexandra to Suez is to be traversed. It must once more be remembered, that in such a case no previous preparation of any moment could be made— that the Turks and Bedouins are anything but remark able for their activity, and that on such an occasion as this it would be the interest of all those on whom we %sere entirely dependent for the means of transport, to aetain us as long as possible amongst them. Such a descent o f Englishmen—such d e l uges of British gold would be a perfect godsend to them. For landing at Alexandria, and embarking the first division on the Mahmoudie canal, three days may safely he allowed. To find boats on the Nile, for the transport at once of more than 1,500 men with a requisite allowance of baggage, would, of course, be out of the question ; three taps would, at least, be necessary; and though steamers asct nd the Nile to Cairt) in twenty-four hours, four days is near the ave. rage for sailing-Soats—say seven for the going and re turning trip, and one for debarkation at Beulack, another for the embarkation of the second division at Alexandria. Some sixty boats must be employed. We shall take no account of the possibility of accidents. The last division arrives at Cairo twenty-four days afterits debarkation at Alexandria, and now the desert has to be crossed. The di,tance is eighty-five miles, with no shelter, not one drop of water, and a temperature which put the idea of marching later than nine in the morning and before three in the afternoon out of the question. Water, provi sions, and camp equipage have been sent on with the first division, so that from this source of delay those who follow are exempt. The desert is tressed in five forced marches, 17 miles each, and the rear guard, 2,000 strong, arrives at Suez 50 days after its departure from England. Betwixt the anchorage and landing place at Suez, three miles of shoals intervene, and the distance is rarely tra versed in less than two hours ; 24 hours at least, would be requisite for embarkation—as much more for bringing up the baggage and getting it on board. Ten funnel— we must not, we presume, say sail, of steamers are now on their way to Bombay and we may safely allow them 20 days for their passage—if even in this it could be accom plished ; and the distance is thus 'traversed in 72 days. This we should consider a remarkably rapid passage and journey for troops ; yet a month more only would have been required for them round the Cape, with 10,000 acci dental causes of delay in the one case which might alto gether have neutralised the advantage conremplat d, which would not have met them in the ocher ; ten times the toil and the casualties ; and more than ten times the expense. A mere handful of men—a regiment or so —is any coi.ceivable advantage could be derived from It, w e might occasionally bring overland the : idea of the transport of a serviceable division is altogether chi merical. India, to be secure from the mischievous consequences of war by being at any time able at the sheerest n o ti ce to n eet them, must alsvays maintain a peace establish ment of troops in strength much beyond the require ments or exiat.incies of tranquillity. It is our destiny the penalty e e pay fir the maintenance of dominions where the rulers are, and always must he, stringers-- where, while it is so, all our movements are regardeti our neighbours with the most intenFe jealousy and dis trust. The guilt of unprovoked aggression in which vte have too often indulge d, has besides brought with it its punishment. Our best-meant measures are misunder stood or misrepresented. We never stir but we create alarm. Those around us are always ready to email us, to anticipate or wto.rd off attack ; and the hour of our imagined weakness or necessity is taken advantage r f because we have too often employed a giant's strength with the tyranny of a giant, and it is feared by them we may alwaj s so employ it.

B. Estcnurt, of the. Eclair swam sloop. We hope the Admiralty will no‘ forget the brave Sidney Bernard, hat perpetuate his 1 2aroic self-sacrifice in the cause of seffe.ing humanity by ereotirg a suitable monuruent to his memory. By the Manilla, merchant bark, arrived at Cowes. we have intelligence from the coast of Africa to the 25th of February, Commander Hornbv, of the Styx steam-sloop, tame home p tssenger in her, having invalided in conse qu-nce of nearly losing his sight from the eff ets of the climate. He is now convalescent. When the Manilla. left Ascension, the Tortoise store and coal ship, Com mat der Morrell ; the Larne.lB, Commander Brisbane; the Albatross, 16, Commander Yorke ; the Caei9tetts steamer (peize to the Penehipe). and the Nl:mules. transport, were at that islatel; the T.arne, about to pro ceed to St. Helena. Th.. Albatross was to sail on the 28th of February to the Giffin:is, te tike the command of a division. The Cacique was taking in provisions,. prior to returning to the Biehts. The Ntiutilus was loaded with obsolt to stores, a!,d was to sail in a fort night for th s port, with invalids from the squadron,. among whom was the Rev. G. Bellum3, chaplain or the- Tortoise. The Penelope steam-frigate, with Commodore , Jones, was expected at Ascension on the sth ult , for as few days, and to be at the Gallinas on the 15th. He' had been at Fernando Po with the French squadron,. and had tried the sea-going qualities of the Pene lope, against the French Admiral's steam-frigate Caraihe, of 450. horse power (Penelope is 650), when the latter beat Penelope by more then a knot. an hour. The Waterwtteh, 12. Commander Birch„ left Ascension for Canada on the 2d of February, to re lieve the Cygnet, expected at Aseemion en ro u t e t o t Bights. The Kingfisher, 12, Commander Brown ; tie' Lily, 16, Commander Newton ; and the Styx steam sloi,p, were at the Gallinas on th e 25 t h o f F e b ruary: . The latter's thre e prize, Regenerador, Isabel, and Es pica, had been condemned at Sierra Leone ; also a beau-• tiful brig captured by the Hecate steam sloop, Com mander West, on the 3d of February. The " rollers" . set in at Ascension with unprecedented violence on the• 15th of February, and increased to a terrific extent en: the 18th. They happily abated on the 23d, but not untilt very considerable damage had been done. The pier;, wharf, crane, boathouse, port of the fort, turtle pends e and turtle, were entirely washed away, boats stove in, &c. Great alarm was manifested respecting a aearcity of water, and it was expected the P. nelope would have to tow a vessel to St. Helena and back for a supply.. Great activity prevailed among the cruisers, and many prizes had been taken in consequence. The squadron was healthy. The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, having finished coaling, went out to Spithead yesterday, to await sailine. orders. In mentioning this ship in con nexion with the Comet (the first war steamer built for the royal navy) on Saturday, the 11th inst., we made Si slight mistake. We are infOrmell the Comet was not built by Mr. Oliver Lane", of Woolwi c h, as we t h en stated, but by the l a t e Mr. John Gill, " foreman of the New Work s " at D eptford. in 1822, at which time Mr. Oliver Lang was the Assistant-Surveyor of the Navy, and the shipbuilding department in Deptford dockyard was, at that time, under the immediate direction of Mr:. John Gill. who built, in the depth of winter, during the last war, the only British tiigate (St. Lawrence) that ever swam on the lakes of Canada ; he also originated the fitting of our dockyard lighters as bomb-vessels, on. the score of economy and efficiency, and presenting " the minimum object" for repelling attack, which were suc cess ulty used by us in the last expedition against Algiers. Mr. Gill also suggested to the Navy Beard the mode of fitting our war-steamers as bomb-vessels„ which has been adopted. APPOINTMENTS.
