The particulars - of the ca;e were bri ,, fly as follows: — On the 30th J , nuary, 1851, the defendants entered into a contract r.ith ;be plaintiffs for the importation of between 400 and 500 tons of rough ice from Norway. The plaintiffs accerdiogly chart, red a veliat-I calhAl the Prima, which pro ended her voyage to Nor ,7ay, and bhe arrived in England with a full cargo of ice on the 2a of April. Notice was given to the defendatts of her arrival, with alit quest, that they would clear the cargo, but they neslecteft to do so. The plaintiffs Cub "cluntlY th ice.; tut the market price having in the wean time they did so_ at', a great reduc tion. The action was brought to reco - ter the cliff -Tepee between the amount obtained from the sale and the amount of freightae agreed upon bf-tween the 'parties.

MunDEn.—David Belusco, fined 27, dercribed as a tailor, was p , aced the deck, charged with the wilful minder of Robert Clarke. Mr. Iluddlestone conducted the ca'e fer the pent-ca tion, 4uri Mr. Ballantitie, with whom was Mr. Robinson, for the defence. This case has been so recently before the public that the facts must be familiar to our reeders. The ptieemer was the keeper of a house of ill-iaree, in Banbury col l ie, dart -street, and a f-ev wet ks ego the deceased, %bile in a state of intoxicate n, repaired there late at night, with two wcanen. They were showo up wens, hut it was then found that .the deceased had no money, and the pristmer went up to twit them out. A scuffl4 then en'ued, owing.to one of the girls calling the deceased • "-Irian" and. his nfternarda refusing to leave the . piece, ,and . in the course of the anercatiou the prisentn ,pushed_ the .deeeesed, and he fell down the • , stairs, Masking lire heck in the tall. • ',D,e deceased • never :rote rpm; but the prisoner, assisted by some one • , else, lifted the body- up and pleced.it egeinst die wall en the house on the opposi•e sine of .the court. The priso ner then sent for some gin, and treated the two women, telling them to'say nothing übeat what had occurred, • but as they left the howe• they eecountered a policeman, - 13 whim they , rela,ted what fsken p!ace, and the prisoner was taken into custody. ...This aspect of the, cate was deposed to by the two wrens D. . The prisoner, before he knocked the deceased down, pulled and pushed him ' about very much, end one of the ,iris said, " ain't hurt the men," and the prisoner replied, " You are a woman of the world, and ought to know better," and neither. of them interfered to prevent the ill usege. lair. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the defence, • and aftereards prom•eded to can a woman, who said she • seas a servant of the house, and who gave a fist contra diction to the statement of the two females. Mrs. Belaeco and the two women were trying, she said, to get the deceased away, when one of the girls pushed against him aid be fell down the stairs head foremost The prisoner, she swore, was not on the landing at all, . and all that he did was to shake him while ha lay on Boer at the bottom of the stairs, and she it was who carried ni x out into the court. There was a man and a Nvonitin int the front patent during the disturbance, and the latt er , a J ewess, s wore-that-the prisoner was smil ing a pipe in the parlour when the altercation took place upstairs. She heard the deceased fail, and the prisoner opened the parlour - door and tried to shake him up, but she saw that it was a woman's quarrel, and advised him to return to the parlour and leave the girls to settle it, which he did. Mr. Baron PLATT summed up, and - The jury, without any hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter, and upon their expressing en -opieion that two of the witni-sses for the prisoner, . a man named Turner, aad a woman named Levinson, had t. committed perjurY, the Learned Judge ordered them into custody to be tiled for that offence. The prisoner wag sentenced to be kept to hard labour for twelve months. BOW-STREET. —(THIS DAY.) John Middleton, the person who was on Wednesday last a second time remanded upon the charge of sending a threatening letter to the Elrl of Derby, was this day again brought up before Mr. Henry. The MAGISTRATE having heard further medical evi dence of the prisoner's insanity, said that he must sign an order for his removal . to the Asylum at Colney Hatch, "less his friends were prepared to give bail for his safe keeping. Mr. Baxter, the gentleman who had on previous occa sions shown great interest in the prisoner's affairs, de clared himself ready to pat in the necessary bail; but the prisoner's solicitor declined the offer, and M►daleton Was accordingly ord,recl to he removed t , ► the ATLANLIC AND PAcIFIe sIIIP CANAL COVPANY. By the advices this ;;Wit from New York, it appears that cot mit , sioners from the American Atlantic and Pa cific Ship Canal Company . were expected to leave a'most immediately for England, together with Colour! Childs (formerly the chid engineer of the S.ate of New York), to submit, according to the London egrei meet of bet', 1850, the completed eurwys and estimates of the work. It will be remembered th..t the negotiations at that period resulted in a pledge on the pare of some of our leading firms, that if the undertAilig were found practicable 'at a cost that would promise a fair revenue, it should be introduced with all their influence to the English public, the company, in return, pledging them• selves to allow, under those circumstances, a participa tion, upon equitatle terms, to the extent of one•hdf, so that the antcre:sts of Great Brit.lin and America might be idevtical. It is now understood that, after a thorough exploration by himself and his exploring corps, the report of Colonel Childs will demon strate that, byth as regards etist and difficulty, the enterprise wilt not only be less serious .than many of the ordinary undertskings carried out in the Unttud Statee, but Such us to cause surprise that it should ever ve been negleCted. Instead of the elevation of '487 feet, supposed to exist on the slip of land which separates Lake Nicaragua from the Pacific, it seen s that the highest rise is 48 feet, %hi'ce with regard to the river San Juan it hr.s beea found that the greater part is. perfectly available; and that in the portion where the river cannot be Used the excavation will be through laud entirely level end without rock. Under these circumstances the company, it is raid, aro pre. pared immediately to precec d, either alone or in coteurreeee with .Ewglaed, as may be decided upon. The temporary transit which was opened in July, 1851, has yielded a return which is proportionately' without xamp'e, and inspired by this experience and by the_ardour wnich is now mantle:Ail-1g itself on the sub. Pot throughout the entire Union, the leaders of the tin ' dertaking s while they expess an undiminished desire for , a Mutual arraug.raent, state themselves at the same time • to be indisposed to any further detcy. A prompt and final adjustment of the question is, therefore tole anticipated. In the eighteen months which have ° elapsed since the commissioners originaliy visited England the Australian discoveries have doubled the urgency as well as the temptations of the work, and the intentions of the United • States tO seek a direct in(ercourse with •Japan, and to establish forthwith a steam route to China, have also developed new motives of a momentous character. The impulses towards an immediate settlement are, therefore, of the strongest kind, and there can also be no doubt that in case the company should require it, their own Government will be prepared. to aid them to the full ex tent of its constitutional powers.—Times.

Row croft. Colburn. To those who enjoy kytches end amusing anecdotes, this book will afford gnat entert,ioment. Thangli nominally the autobiography of an Etonian, there is very little about Eton. The hero wanders about in it 'itirections, and certainly with very ill luck attending him, which no one can wonder at from his imprudent actions and want of resolution. After twice mistaking one young lady for another, he was compe&cl to ti4ht a duel with the brother of the one mistaken by him for the object of his regard The consequences were very distressing—he wounded his antagonist dangerously, nod WAS ()bilged to . fly to France. There new troubles awaited him. Meeting with his inamorata abroad, and not wishing to baz trd an encounter with her family und,r the circumstances, he changed his name and assumed a diTgtti^e ; but the French au boritie mistook him for a thief' avoiding . justice. He was sciz,d, searched, and c,rtainly the apprltrances 'were most unpropitious for his. cause. Alerwards he e fl , cted his through the intervention of a friend. Sub,equently ho eon trived in disguse to enter the pretence of ti fair Lavinia e n d h er redoubtable aunt; but it did not further his purpone much, for it nrls not until after many more trouble s had been endured, and many mom dialatties overcome, that ho utlatt enjoyed good fortune. • A JOURNEY TO THE TEA COUNTRIES OF CH IN A. Bu Robert Fortune, Author rf " Three Years of Wanderings in Cknu." Murray. This work includes A visit 10 Sung-to and the Bohea 1111 s, and a notice of the East India Coin p4ny's tea plantations in the liiinalayaMonntains. The author obtirerves, "As I went far inland, and visied many districts almost unknown to Europeans, I now venture to lay an account of my travels and their results before the public. My object is to give a peep into the Celestial Empire, to show • its strange and romantic valleys, its rivers and canals, its nstural productio:is, whether in the field, or on the hill side, or in the garden, and its strange and inte resting people, us they were seen by me in their every day lite. As I hope my readers will accompany me through the whole of my journey, I shall hive th 6 -. pleasure of taking them to India and the Ininalayes, and showing them the Government tea plantations, from which much is expected, and which are likely to prove of great advantage, not only to India, but also to England and her wide-spreading colonic," It will therefore be seen that the descripti.ms and experience of the author are not limited to any particular spot. Trier,' are sixteen illustrations, of which the most striking is a view in the green tea district, the mode of gathering the ling, and a bird',. l eye view of the Stream of Nine Windings. The method of gathering the ling is very singular. It is a plant that grows in the water, and produces a fruit that is much esteemed. Women and boys sail about in tubs. Their appearance is said to be very ludicrous, "swimming on the lake each in 'his tub." The account of drying the leaves of the - tea plant is very interesting—L; shows the different treatment of the black and green tea. The writer gives a more favourable idea of the country than of the inhabitants ; though he does not absolutely accuse them himself, we gather from his piges that they are avariniouii and false, with very little regard for the truth. , The, amount of information to be obtained trona the volume is considerable, and the readers must feel grca!, satit faction in the successful results of the journey of •-en , painstaking and persevering a traveller. NEW MUSIC. DAVIDSON'S OPERATIC GEMS. L'Elisir d' Amore. By Donizetti THE MUSICAL TREASURY. Part C.XLVIL G. Davidson, Peter's•hill. This arrangement belongs to the series of cheap operas that are published every month. It is suited to the capabilities of ordinary performers, who will, doubtless, be glad to obtain the music of this cele brated composer at FO low a price. The present number of the Musical Treasury is devoted entirely to "Jackson's Morning Service" in E fist. They are beautifully arranged, and are far superior to the general class o: cheap sacred music. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The purchase of the great glass house has at last been completed by the payment of 70,0001. to the contractors for it as it stands, and its formal cooveyance to its new proprietors. The transaction was brought to a close yesterday at twelve o'clock, in the building, and was ce lebrated by a dejeuner, supplied from Gunter's, of which about 30 gentlemen partook, in the centre of the tran sept. A variety of toasts were given and speeches made suitable to the occasion. The nominal purchaser is Mr. Francis Fuller, a member of the ex niutive committee for the Great Exhieition. The real proprietors are the chair• man and some of the directors of the Brighton Risilway Comp my, who have, we believe. entered into the under taking as likely to be a profi'ahle one in connexion with th it line. The purchase, and the immediate advance of money which was 'accessary for its completion, will, it is with rstoed, be foliownd up by the formation of a "Crysttl Palace Company," and the i-sue of shares, which will he at cured by a guarantee ot 6 per cent. It is in con templation to remove the pallet) to a site at Srlenhitn, which, in the opinion of the new proprietors, possesses peculiar advantages for the purpose. A new line of rails will he lsid d0 , ,,n to secouara,,d,te the increased pas senger traffic which the attractions of the building nre expected to create, end a short branch railway iron the main line will also be neeesinry. It is further pi oposroi, by a branch, to connect the South-Western lice with the building, and thus to eiff ird the advantage of access !rem the London- hriilge, Bricklayers' Arms, Waterloo, and Vauxhall termini. The plan of the undertaking is still only roughly chalked out, and some of the teaturea which we now allude to otay, on a further consideration, be modified or entirely changed. Ono thing, ladwever, is certain, and it is, that men t f capitol and enterprise have come forwsrd to carry out this work, and that they enter upon it with a firm resolution to do it well, and, if passible, to make it successful. They have already si cured the valuable services of Mr. Owen Jones end Mr. Digby Wyatt, and it is probable that other familiar names in connexion with the Great Exhibition will shortly be added to thiir list of employes. In the ex pert hands; of Messrs. Fox and Henderson the forha of the Palace, when reconstructed, wilt, no doubt, nndergo extensive alterations and improvements, its multiplying proportions affording the widest facilities for• doing so. Of its internal arrangements, nothing, of course, can yet be said, exe' pt in the most general term ; ; but it maybe pretty coefidently stated that the proprietors will rely, for some time at leas', upon attrsc ions of a isieter garden, einhilli,hed with fountaies end statuary, as, in - cembina ion with the building, their main element of success. The removal of the building from Hyde park wilt now be prosecuted with vigour, and it is Con fidently expected that by the Dlt of May, 1853, the Crystal Palace will bo once more open to the public on its new site at Sydenham.

I took the earliest opportunity of eocomoni valiog this new and imp irtant tact to my photographic friends Messrs. Ross and Thom-on, photographers to the giletil in Elinburgh; to Mr. Kilburn, photographer to th , gre , en in L.,ndoc; and to Mr. Ilencernann and Mr. Borne, who have produced such beautiful portraits, the one on paper, and the other with collodion on glass. AU these g, ntl , - men received the information as a valu able contribution to the art which they so skilfully prac tise—as au explanation, toe, of the well-known imper- G ction of photographic portraits, and as a stimulus to re au,ve it by using small lenses and searching for more settaitivei-materials. • They did not, like M.

SPORTING NOTES. No. CCXXVI. BATH AND SOMERSET COUNTY MEETING, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Yesterday's sport at Newmarket, although very mediocre in quantity, was good in so far as one event was concerned, the 10 Sovs. St%lves, tor two years ell. My ju Ignient for this race was exceedingly correct, as in my remarks I observed that the 51) extra on Placid would ant as an effectual stopper on her chance; that that pet of Butler's and the public, Gossip, stood very low in my estimation; that the Libel filly would be any thing but forward in the race; and, finally, that Pelion, my solitary selection, would carry off the stakes in triumph, as be did, in a common canter, by a length. The race, is described in a few words: Gossip cut out the work to nearly half way up the cord?, where Pelion came up, headed him a few strides, made the rest of the running, and won, as before said, in a canter.. Placid, with her 51b extra, being quite good enough to beat Gossip for second place; the latter was a moderate third, Libel filly fourth, Darien fifth, Molasses and the filly by Beiram bringing up the rear; all behind the Libel filly were beaten off. Pelion is the best two year old that has yet appeared this season, and in fact the first that can be called a racer; ho is the pioneer of as fine a set of younpters, who have yet to make their Milt, as any year.bas been furnished with for a long lime past. This year's two-year olds will be found ge nerally to be of a superior class; last year's, with one or two exceptions, were a very inferior lot. Those that have as yet shown this season, with the exception of Pellet], and perhaps P;aeid, are about tbe worst possibly that could be turned out. Epsom, Ascot, Newmarket July, and Goodwood meetings will introduce us to the cracks. _ _ Major CAMPBELL returned thanks for the Army. Song, Mr. Hobbs—" True Courage," Dibdin; given with. much good taste and feeling. The CHAIRMAN next rose to bri ng un d er the notice of the company the toast of the ev e ni ng , name ly, " Pros - perky to the Job and Post - masters Conch Proprietors , Horse Dealers and Livery Stable Be e p ers ' (of England) Provident Fund.": They were m et t h ere t h at ev e n ing on an important occasion. —(Hear, he ar .) Th e i rs w as not a charitable but a philanthropic me et i ng; f or one of the objets of the society was not so much to provide for the present as the future, an object, he thought, which well deserved their serious attention and constant support. — (Hear, hear.) , Every one in this country was more or less engaged in trade, and every one more or less was thrown upon his own immediate resources, and the prin ciple of self-reliance and self•support had become, as it were, part of the glorious Constitution under which we lived.— (Cheers.) In this country the Government not only taught, but almost compelled all of us to rely on our. elves, and in furtherance of that doctrine, no doubt, this admirable institution bad been founded, which was to all intents and purposes a Doric column with a Co rinthian capital.—(Cheers.) Happily they lived under a Constitution where freedom was enjoyed to the fullest extent, and erie of the peculiar features which attracted to it, and which was to be at tributed to the existence of institutions like this, was that it was free from those revolutions and convulsions which had shaken the foundations of other nations.— ( Hear, hear.) The cause of this was well known and appreciated in this country. Men here did not look only at to-day, but they thought of to-morrow, and carried their mind's eye into distant ag,'s, and hence arose the iiberality with which the charitable, benevolent, and provident institutions of England were supported.- -(llear, hear.) Englishmen did not alone seek for the wants of today, but they made provision for the future also, and one of the peculiar features of the country was her life assurance societies.—(Hear, hear.) No later ego than that very morning he bed received a paper from a life assurance society, the con tents of which greatly astonished him, for it would appear from this document, which he held in his hand, that magistrates, judges, barristers, legislators, and, in fact, every class ot the community, were sensibly aware of the importance of insuring their lives, as a provision for their families hereafter; and it appeared that the extraordinary sum of 5,000,0001. was annually put aside for the purposes of life assurance, to secure 1 31,000,0001. to be granted for the benefit of families, when those who bad insured should be no more. — (enters.) They should never forget the value and im portance of that principle which taught them to put by something in a period of prosperity to meet future nacos aities, in case they should be overtaken by adversity here after, and it was upon that grouni that he appealed to them to support this i nst i tu tion.—(Cheers.) Let him read to th em a paper wh i c h had been placed in his hands to sho w t h e progress which the institution had made and was n ow ma k ing —(ilea; hear.) It appeared from this pap er th at i n 1846 the society attained that point ot prosperity w hi c h enabled the committee to commence - dispensing their benefits, and since then the extent of relief afforded to thdee who were in want of it had gone on increasing.— (Cheere.) The founders and supporters of the socie t y h a d di v ided its progress into two stages, the first o f w hi ch wou ld be completed when the funds should hey° reached 10,000/., and the second when the funds had mounted up to 20,0001. s(illar, he understood hear.)Thofir te a h tep f o u c n h da dy amountedwasalrceoampletethatnightto, 9 0281 3s. 2.1., and he bad no doubt the sum - would be made 10,0001. before th e company And with these viewexpressed, to • s and opiuions, feebly animate them to still further action, he would not tres pass longer upon their tin 2 P, but at once proceed to give them " Prosperity to he J ' Provi denta oh and Post.masters Fund."—(Cheers.) The toast was drank withenthu s iasm,after the utmost separated.—(Cheers.) which, Ou the heath yesterday,-and again in town, the pub lic were treated to a few more fine flourishes on the Hobble Noble trumpet; 10 to 1 was offered early in the morning, 15 in the afternoon, and 20 in the evening was laid against this redoubtable son of Pantaloon and Pbryne: all sorts of horses, from Alcoran down to the other jack-in-the-box Augur, were backed against him, for all sorts of sums from hundreds to thousands; and the-finale to the obligato movement was a variety of even bet,ing that he does not start. • The Bath and Somerset meeting has, as usual, two soya, avTej the yitsh jaaftocks following 00 , rhw l da o i nsofgrt,Lo ninew3 m i t with 50 r s bu!

It must naturally occur to any one versed in turf mysteries, that Day's horse, which ever it may be, LAMARTINE or PITSFORD, will be the winner; and that Old Hawley will • occupy the second place. I may as well observe that Lamartine will, in all probability, be the horse of the stable. The Biennial Stakes of 10 soya. each, with 50 added, for two years old colts Bst 71b. fillies and geldings Bst 41b, over the T.Y.C., which , is about half a mile in length, will, I imagine, be contested by the colt, by Mathematician, Oakleaf, Massena, Stella, Amazon, and, perhaps, one of Mr. Sadler's, Charon or Contentment. The race evidently lays between three:—MASSENA, STELLA, - and AMAZON; one of the last two turning out the actual victor. The .Sxnersetshiro Stakes of 25 soya each, 15 ft, and 5 only it declared, &c., two miles and a distance, will, it is expected, have the following list of competitors : Russborough, Abdallab, Ex-ter, Ephesus, Narcissus, Madame Wharton, Bscton, Darkness, Waterfall, Grand Ductless, Tom Pinch, and perhaps Ferrer. Rubsbo rough's weight, on this particular course, will entirely stop him. Abdallah'e chance is much better, at Tat 51b ; Exeter, however, is the dangerous horse, as he is at present the favourite. Ep hesus and Narcissus will run well ; Banton and Darkn ess the contrary. Madame Wharton, at 6st 81b, a good looking sp-c on paper, as also is Waterfall, at sst 111 b. Grat.d Duchess will possibly have the rest of the light weights in safe keep ing. To sum up, I can diseover nothing at present good enough to beat the favourite ; therefore, to Exeter I award the race, and expect to see Grand Duchess and Ferret.well up. The principal stake of Wednesday this year would seem to be the Weston Stakes, run over the T.Y.C. The entries include the names of Placid, Bst 41b; Na than, Bst 41b; Vaultress, Bst 41b; Massena, Bst 91b; Bountiful, Bst llb; the Dextrous dam filly, fist 41b; and Psaltery, Bst 41b. Five of the above seven names belong to the dark division; and again, as yesterday in the 10 Says. Stakes, I sball look tor the winner among that lot, and expect to find in VAULTRESS or BOUNTIFUL the superior one. Nathan, no t w ithstanding his allow ance of 51b, I don't anticipate seeing i n a better place than second. Psaltery, if she runs (query), will be well up. The other races I shall not touch upon till Monday. The betting. this morning runs principally on the Derby, though it affects one or two of the stakes at Bath.

RER MAJESTY 'S DRATVING-R00.21f. TO THE EDITOR OF TUE TIMES. Sir,--I have had the honour, in • Iseveral hundreds of the best o f common with my countrymen and Sovereign afis en da l y Lo on t p e a e y oe m oa y . the loveliest of my cauntrywo humble respects to my and a m e n . y . this sion of her Aqesty's birthday, a n d ection f t day he ceh !rated with equal loyalty But I trust I may be permitted to call the attention those whom it may concern to the unparalleled want o f convenience and due arrangement in the large orecep tions occasionally held at St. James's, which would dis grace, I will not say any other Court in Europe, where such scenes are unknown—l will not say nobleman's house, for he won! i instantly discharge his household —but any decent place of public amusement in this city. The carriages as they arrive set down their noble and beautiful occupants at an open corridor on the east side cf the Palace, where a muddy mat is placed on the stones, which are otherwise wet and un covered. A feri yards of red baize and a wonden floor on the pavement of this corridor or entrance, with seats near the wall, would at once change its appearance and render it a useful accommodation. The servants of all the persons attending the Court are compelled meanwhile to stand in the yard of the Palace, whatever the weather may be, and without shelter, though they may be there for many hours. On entering the Palace there is no cloak room, nor any means of depositing any protection against the cold, which is the more necessary as the passages are open, and the drainhes of air, to which lathes in full evening dress are exposed, most piercing. I say nothing of the apartments, except that it would he difficult to 'find another palace in Earope so inconveniently areinged or so shabbily furnished. I had the honour of waiting for one hour this meeting is a room adorned with blunder ba.sca and. pikes, which probably figured at the battle of the Boyne, relieved by painted waieseot ing, red flock paper, and dingy stuff curtains. It is, however, in the gust apartment that the " tug of war" b.-gins. The rush into the sluices ,reminds one of a mill-race, and it seldom happens that any one pasted that Charybdis without the loss of some por thin of his or her apparel, or of a still more valu able portion of good humour. This painful con test might be avoided by the simple expedient of prolonging the division, or banister up and down n o w h o l e room in zigzag, as is done at the theatres in rari e I venture to affirch that the entry of a crowd at the Palais Royal when Made moiselle- Dejazt:t is about to appear in one of her popular charaeters is far more decorous than what I witnessed to-d a -- Erglacd. y in approaching the Majesty of O - a having the p resence chamber and descen di ng th e stairs, the scene becomes even more painful.

No thing of the kind occurs at her Majesty's state enterrainmints in Buckingham Palace, where the splendid hospitality or the Clown is sometimes extended to 2 000 persons , and where everything is conducted with the most perfect attention and order; and I venture to make these remarks because I am persuaded the officers (Aber It.F - -j-,sty's }leasehold must feel painfully af fected by the Com e arisous wiaicn are drawn between these tumultuoas and ta:iguing scenes and the public receptions in way other Court in Europe. May 13. MILES. THE SEA-MEW INLAND REVENUE STEAMER. The advantages have been found so great and so cceuomieal when employing a steamer compared with sailing vessels, in the removal of the parties employed in the suppression of smuggling inland in Ireland, that an old vessel, the Warrior, was purchased for that ser vice. The Warrior is now so old that it has been deemed advisable to have a new steamer, which has just been completed, and made her first trial trip down the river yesterday, to ascertain her speed and the working qualities of her engines, Mr. Wood, chair man of the Beard of Inland Revenue; Mr. Anderson, M.P. (chairman), and Mr. Allen, directors of the Penin sular: and Oriental Steam Shipping Company; Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer of the Admiralty at Somerset- House; Mr. Lamb, chief engineer - to the Peninsular and Oriental Company at Southampton; Mr. Water man, sen.; Mr. Waterman, jun.; Mr. White, of Cowes; Mr. John Penn, of Greenwich; and a number of scientific gentlemen; were on board s to witness the trial. The Sea Mew was built of -iron, by Messrs. Marc and Co., from a desi:_tn by Mr. Waterman, jun., and she is 143 feet long, with 22 teat breadth of beam, and her draught of w tide'. is only eight feet. The engines by John Penn and Son, are on their patent principle, direct acting, and collectively of 60-horse power, and similar m principle to the engines fitted by the same eneiaecrs on board her Majesty's steam-frigates Arro gant and Encounter, of 360-horse power each. The diameter et the Ecrow-propeller is 8 feet, with a pitch of 10 feat, and during the trial the nuinbtr of revola• dons was 120 per minute, the engines wer%ing with the gresteA tmoothnees, and without the least appear ance of heating, alihough it was their first trial. The average speed to-day on one run down and one up the measured mile in Long Reach, the up run against a strong brece and tide, was about 9 knots per hour, the result being satisfactory to all on board. The principal statical of the Sea Mew will be on the coast of Ireland, extending from Limerick to the Giant's Causeway, and by her aid a lieutenant with 14 men of an inland revenue party, or a greater number when r quired, may be moved a distance of 60 miles in one night, and prove a most efficient means of taking the smtiglrrs by surprise, owing to the celerity of movement of the party from one point to another; and her small draught et water and steaming qualities will enable her to land the parties on board on the islands and other pieces which ceiling vessels could not venture to approach for landing parties daring bad weather. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TINES. ' Sir,—The last mall trom the Cspe brings most dis tressing ticzounts of the barbarities practised by the lisfirs upon the unfortunate British prisoners, such as roasting them alive, cutting them up piecemeal; and when one unfortunate man complained of hunger they cut slices of his body and gave them to him for food. These are the barbarians that the Exeter• hall people would deal gently with. I propose that they be exter minated as wolves were exterminated in England; by giving a rewlrd for each head—say 21. for men, and fi for oremen and children. This would turn the Boers on', and is, in my opinion, the only way to deal with such inhuman savages, I am, Sir. your obedient servant, C.
