DIE. ...... - I I THE LOSS OF_, T, _ AMAZON, SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 1 1.—The Royal Mail steam ship Avon, Captain Onslovv, sailed this afternoon for St. Thomas's, Carthagena, Chagres, and Grey-town, With ship letter-bags for those places, but no mails for Jamaica, Demerara, or the other British West India islands and colonies. The Avon has bees dispatched as an extra ship in place of the Amazon, to bring home mails from the Spanish Main, West Indies, and Gulf of Mexico, due at Southampton on the sth of March next, and will therefore fill the vacancy on the homeward route made by the disastrous loss of the ill-fated Amazon. The Avon takes out only one passenger, and no specie or cargo of any kind. Nothing further has transpired since Friday relative to the loss of the Amazon, nor has any fresh intelligence come to hand. Sermons for the benefit of the widows and orphans were preached to-day in several of the churches and chapels of the town to large and deeply impressed c:mgregations. Mr. George Mills, the ongiiik er-in-ehief of the koyal Mail Steam-packet Company, has just received the fol lowing letter from William atone, the fourth engineer of the Amsz )n, who has landed at Ere3t:— NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that by an INDENTURE, bearing date the Nth day of December , 1851, SAMUEL HENRY RROWNIIILL, of Heaton Norris, in the county of Lancaster, Cotton Spinner, hath conveyed and assigned all his real and Personal Estate and Effects unto ALEXANDE LOONIE, of Stockport, aforesaid, accountant. Upon trust for the equal benefit of all the creditors of him, the said Samuel Henry Itrovrnhill, which said indenture was executed by each of them, the said Samuel Henry Brownhill and Alexander Loonie, on the 6th day of January, 1852, and was so executed by the said Samuel Henry Brownhill and Alexander Lcenie, in the presence of, and attested by, Robert illigan Shipman, of Manchester, in the said county of Lancaster M , solicitor, and Henry Co pock, of Stockport, aforesaid, Solicitor. Dated this 7th day of January, 1852. JANUARY 12, 1852. N ° .18,504.] LONDON, MONDAY r V l a 1 S [PRICE SD, THE "DISPATCH" EXHIBITION CHART.The enormous circulation of the " WEEKLY DISPATCH," on Sunday last (by far exceeding the most sanguine expectations of the proprietors), having rendered it impossible to comply with the an nouncements previously made, that every purchaser of the " NVEcur Diarkrcsi" should, on Sunday Next, receive a copy of the ILLus- TRATZD COLOURED CHART OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION, it has, in Con sequence, been found necessary to POS 'TONE THE ISSUE of a sheet demanding such careful preparation, until Sunday, the Ist of February, on which day every purchaser of the " WHEKLT DISPATCH" will be entitled to a copy.

THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE. ation of a number of the employers of operative engineers to close their works on the 10th, and to throw all their workmen out of employment, the Council of the Amal gamated Society submit the followidg resolutions to their members, and request that branch meetings may be called as soon as posstble, and the votes taken and re turned to the coun c il. " 1. That 10,0001. o f the funds o f th e A m algamated Society shall be paid over to such number of trustees (the trustees to be men in whom public confidence would be placed in consequence of their position in society), not less than six, as are selected by the executive, on trust to advance the same from time to time to managers appointed by the executive, whose appointments will be afterwards coz.firmed by the society, for the purpose of carrying on tho business (4 engineers, machinists, &e. "2. These advances, as well as those which the trus tees may obtain from other sources, shall he secured by a mortgage of all the plant and stock in trade employed in such business to the said trustees, who shall have a power to give preference security to any other advances over sums advanced out of the funds of the Amalgamated Society. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PUBLICATIONS. On Saturday night, in accordance with the notice given to that effect on the Saturday previous, the prin cipal engineering firms of the metropolis discharged their hands and closed their works, but several of the minor firms changed their intentions, as avowed, at the eleventh hour, and intimated to their men that they might return to their work, as usual, on Monday morn iog. The names of the firms referred to have not all been publicly given, but it is positively known that Mr. Horn, machinist, High-street, Whitechapel, who was among the foremost to give notice of clearing, on Satur day night acquiesced unreservedly in the propositions of the Amalgamated Society, so as to become fully recon ciled with his men. His establishment will therefore re main open, as, no doubt, will many others under similar circumstances. With respect to the more important of the firms con nected with the Masters' Association, the men assert that many of them aro seeking, by various means, to evade the full consequences of entirely carrying out their threats to close. This is done by the creation, in some instances, of a large number of nominal foremen; it being an understood resolution of the employers that foremen and apprentices shall be allowed to continue at work. Unfortunately the suspension of labour has affected all who were employed at the establishments; and many who did not belong to the body of engineers and ma chinists, such as boiler makers, moulders, coppersmiths, carpenters, and others, have suffered by being deprived of the employment they had enjoyed for years. The following may be taken as a tolerably accurate return of the " turns out" at the principal factories in and about London:— Assistant Surgeon Mr. G. 0.

A certain and speedy cure for all persons afflicted with rheumatism, pains in the chest or limbs, stiff joints, or any diseases arising from colds, by the use of AEASAM'S MEDICATED CREAM, the properties of which are so astonishing in diseases such as erysipelas, ringworm, scrofula, and other cutaneous eruption, as it produces a regular action of the pores, rendering the skin clear and healthy. It is equally efficacious in burns, scalds, bruises, or wounds of long standing, that no family should bo without it.

It happened but lately, as I took a walk, My ears were saluted by confident talk ; The pith of what passed In a street conversation I mean to deliver in faithful narration. A tradesman stepped out and his neigbour addressed, Ills income last year had improved, he confessed; His business had yielded little more, he admitted, But from long tailors' bills he was safely acquitted. He had visited MOSES and SON'S clothing mart— Had proved it was matchless for neatness and art ; But the saving was such in the course of the year, As left him in pocket a fifty pound clear. A mechanic who laboured from morning to night, And planned and devised to his uttermost might, Said his children were fed and better arrayed Since the whole of their clothing by MOSES was made. But this was not all, he had sent them to school, As learning was useful in handling a tool ; Yet no poorer had been since that he projected, The cost had been cleared in their dress, he expected. A nobleman's mansion stood out from my way, Its splendour induced me atten:ion to pay ; The servants attending would form a great mass, Yet each in new livery this morning did pass ; Their master as courteous as old English days, To every department his own notice pays. When questioned on taxes and cost he replies, My dealing with MOSES all that now defies : The cost is discharged, the taxes defrayed By the constant reductions he offers in trade, While to every observer it must be quite plain, That in point of appearance I every way gain. Pleased with my ramble, my notes I was scanning, Nor felt the cold winds on every side fanning ; They could not affect me, from my knee to my throat 1 was safely ensconced in a warm Witney coat. For this coat I'm indebted to MOSES'S power, To make it, to trim it, and sell it much lower Than any one ever could think in tnese days, Though inventions improve in a thousand fresh ways. E.

DU BARRY'S HEALTH-RESTORING FOOD FOR INVALIDS AND INFANTS. The REVALENTA ARABICA FOOD is the only natural, plea sant, and effectual remedy (without medicine, purging, inconveni ence, or expense, as it saves fifty times its value in other means of cure) for all nervous, stomachic, intestinal, liver, and bilious com plaints, however deeply rooted, dyspepsia (indigestion), habitual e onstipatioi, ha3morrheidal affections, diarrhoea, acidity, heartburn, flatu'ency, oppression, rheumatism, gout, cough, asthma, dropsy, headache, giddiness, congestion of the brain, noises in the head and ears, distension, palpitation, eruptions of the akin, impurities and po verty of the blood, sinking, sickness at the stomach during preg nancy, at sea, and under all circumstances, debility in the age d as well as infants, depression, irritability, wasting away,flts, spasms, cramps, inflammation and ulceration of the stomach, angina pectoris, fevers, scurvy, paralysis,&c. The best food for infants and invalids generally, as it never turns acid on the weakest stomach, nor interferes with a good liberal diet, but imparts a healthy relish for lunch and dinner, and restores the faculty of digestion and nervous and muscular energy to the most enfeebled.

THE CONVICTS AT DARTMOOR. -- On Saturday afternoon 46 rank and file, with officers, of the 19th Regi ment, were dispatched to Dartmoor, after half an hour's notice, in consequence of their bei ng 700 lb s . o f gunpowder found secreted in the neighbourhood of the prisons, which had been hid by the convicts for some purpose, probably for effecting their escape. MEETING OF THE MEN. At nine o'clock on Saturday night a large meeting of the engineers and machinists took place at the Phoenix Tavern, Ratcliffe, for the purpose of learning the move-' meats of the trade during the day. The large room wit's . densely crowded. Mr. G. EGLIN was called to the chair. He said that they were called together not so much to consider what steps they should adopt, as to receive information con cerning their position. They were now a set of inde pendent men. The gates of labour had been locked against them—the masters had struck, and now was the time for them to go to work and do the best they could to benefit themselves,—(Cheers.) Mr. ALLAN, the secretary of the society, having been called upon by the chairman to address the meeting, stated that he had little to inform them of beyond what they had already learned. Every mart had got his wages, and they were now left to exercise their labour as they deemed most fit. It seemed that it was left to London and Manchester to contest and settle the great question between capital and labour.—(Hear.) At Bol ton there had been an inclination to meet the fair de mands of the men; and at Bristol a large and eminent firm had made such arrangements as would enable their hands to resume employment.—(Cheers.) From all he could hear all the shops had closed. In the course of the afternoon he learned that Mr. Horn, of Whitechapel, had desired his men to resume their labours on Monday morning in accordance with the society's terms, and in order to be satisfied of the fact he personnally made in quiries, and he found it to be a correct statement.— (Hear.) It was his belief that by Monday or Tuesday they would find a number of the smaller masters giving way, and in the event of their not doing so they would find that the men were prepared to do the work them selves, and would compete with them for it.—(Loud cheers.) They had offered all the terms to the em ployers that could be honourably made, and ho believed the Council of the Amalgamated Society had the con fidence of the whole body of men.—(Applause.) They had endeavoured, in the most fair terms with the em ployers, to bring the matter in dispute to an honourable adjustment; they had made every concession, but all had been refused.—(Hear, hear.) If any of the masters thought that when they opened their works on Monday morning they would find several of them coming back—(A laugh)—they would be sadly mistaken. It was thought that the independent man, the man who did not belong to the society, would be found returning; but they would learn that ho was a character who had some regard for his position, and was anxious to secure and maintain it. They had asked of the masters nothing unfair; they only wished that when their day's labour was over, they might be allowed to leave their labour and em ploy themselves in the improvement of their minds, and other matters necessary to promote their comfort and happiness.—(Cheers.) If that privilege were not allowed them, the time had arrived for them to do something for themselves; and recollecting the advice of that lamented statesman, Sir Robert Peel, to the working classes, that if they wanted anything to be done they must do it themselves, he was fully justified in telling the meeting that if they were desirous of accomplishing their ends, they were right its taking it into their own hands. — (Cheers.) He was satisfied that if they had confidence amongst themselves they must succeed. They had the sympathy of most classes. Mr. NEWTON then came forward, and was received will much applause. He said that he had very few words to offer, as he left it for the meeting on Monday to develop their plans. He, however, would observe that their position bore a wide difference to all previous matters of the kind.—(Hear.) They were not the parties who had taken aggressive measures.—(Cheers.) Both for their sake, his own, and, what was more, the public, he trusted that they would exhibit every moderation of feeling in the struggle. They relied upon reason, and he hoped that if they saw any strange workmen entering the shops they would abstain from unpleasant remarks. He knew that the movement would be the cause of many being thrown gut of work ; but he felt certain that in the end they would feel greatly the advantages of it.—(Hear.) They would find that they were dependent upon the consumer, and that they could do without a third party between the consumer and producer.—(Cheers.) Any one of them would know that a situation was scarcely worth a month's wages, as far as regarded the period he might be kept in it; indeed ho might say that there was scarcely a man who would not be prepared to sell his place for 5/. He felt confident that whatever they might suffer for the time, if they remained firm in their action, they would benefit to an extent which would amply re ward them for the suffering they had undergone. If there was a man present who differed with them in the course they hod pursued, who might charge them with a want of discretion, and had been induced to throw himself on the world out of employment, let him have no hesitation in coming forward and expressing his opinion. He believed, however, that there could not be found a man entertaining such an impression. They were de sirous of laying their ease fairly before the public, and to be judged accordingly. If it could be shown that they were acting in error, they would gladly revoke their de cision, and rely upon their own individual resources. — (Hear, hear.) But they had not done so. They had in fringed no law, violated no contract, and therefore they were justified in what they were doing.—(Cheers.) He agaia hoped they would not exhibit any display of feel ing in the coming struggle, for in the peculiarities of the law an act of one might be strained into ;the act of all.—(Applause.) He believed that many of the employers now thought that they were doing very wrong in adopting the measures they had against the workmen—that by imposition and other practices they had been cheated into joining the combination of masters. There were many employers who had joined that com bination, and had pledged themselves to the resolution passed by the council, who would now gladly revoke what they had done, did not their doing so involve a breach of faith with their other e mployers.—(Applause.) The success of their workshops, and the system of self employment, would alter materially the relationship be tween the employers and the employed; and he did hope they would be in a position to tender a useful example to the world.—(Hear, hear.) He had heard that the boiler makers, like the moulders, who had been turned from their employment by their masters closing their yards, had inquired for themselves, and were prepared to co-operate and make common cause with them in seeing justice done. Having expressed his desire that the men would do all they could to alleviate the condition of the labourers out of employment by the suspension of labour at the shops by appealing to their friends, and raising subscriptions in their behalf, he concluded by trusting that they would continuo firm and united in their efforts, and he had no doubt of their success. Other speeches having been made, the mooting broke up. At Limehouse and other parts of the East-end, the boiler m a k ers an d ot h ers assem bl e d t o cons id er th e movement of th e mas ters and the engineers, and it was resolved t o support the latter i n t h e movement. During wher e t h e men are in the habit of assembling for the the past week the Phceaix Tavern, Stepney, transaction of their business, has been continually under surveillance by the police, two constables being con tinually present in the house, as they assert, by direction from their. superiors. A few nights back they demanded entrance into a private trade meeting, and a special vote allowed them admission. The operatives assembled in great force on Saturday night, and behav e d with per f ect pro p r i et y an d d ecorum. On Saturday night the executive council adopted the following address:— " IRON THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF THE AMALGAMATED SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS, &C. ‘, F e llow Membors, - I,A Consequence of the dotormin. " 3. The conditions of work under which such busi ness is carried on shall bo such as are approved of by the executive of the Amalgamated Society from time to time, with the view of gi v i ng employment to the greatest possible number of members of the trade out of employ ment for the time bein g , consistently with the stability welfare of the of the business and th e ployed. " This is such a contest as has never before occurred between the employers and the employed. The inde pendence and welfare of the labourer is threatened. The right of a working man to dispose of himself is jeopar dised,P. %Pr is sought to be established riabiin a g nd th i e n its c place a m pioye. to ..Ounnand the service of his workpeople night and day without intermission. Was ever slavery so bad as this? If a man claims liberty from his master after ho has done his work, he is stigma tised as being dictatorial and mischievous. The old feudal times have passed away, when the baron had a property efrhisns at ret will,ainer ; but thei r s pirit is inherited by our employers of to - day, and they seek to own and dinispthoesepon e so of f r o s ur p and to enslave and degrade our minds by destroying all our opp or t un iti es for mental improvement. " There is but one way in Which this can be met — workmen must work for t hemselves—the labour of the country must be done. In every town let an organiza tion be commenced at once. Let every man find some employment. Gather together all the tools you possess. Instead of paying the funds of the society to men kept in compulsory idleness, receive your money as the duo reward of industry. In the manufacturing districts there is much work to be had, which must be done. In London, Easton and Amos's men h ave already formed their co - operative association, sub scribed their own money to the amount of 5/. each, and appointed their manager. They are also negooiating for a workshop, and have got work to do. Wherever you can, do likewise. Interest the public in your be half by being moderate and well behaved. Tho man who assaults another, whatever he may de, or whatever ho may say, is a traitor to the cause of progress. If your employers cast you upon the world, make up your minds to do without them, and with a self-reliance worthy of Englishmen — with a devotion worthy of the cause of labour—strive to meet the crisis by earnest of forts in behalf of your order. " Non-society must be protected—be that our duty. We will appeal to the country in behalf of the labourers and non-society men. Those who aro first called inde pendent workmen, and then sacrificed for their own protection, must be cared for by their own order. If 400, of our members are thrown out of employment, the other 8,000 must devote part of their means to support them till employment is found, If 6,000 are thrown out of employment, the others, if necessary, must divide their earnings: An endeavour may be made to punish you for that. The employer will perhaps say that you aro not at liberty to do what you like with your money after you have earned it. Let the world see that you value rational liberty above all things, and do it more earnestly because you are doing it for a permanent benefit. You will have the satisfac tion of knowing that your subscriptions are not wasted upon idle men, but are in part bestowed on the esta blishment of the means of labour. " Subscriptions from the public can be obtained in every district, and our members who remain in employ ment will be called upon to support those who are out with liberal hand. Every district will be dealt with alike; no advantage will be given to one place over ano ther. And labourers and non-society men must sub scribe to assist in supporting labourers and non-society men who are out. To do this systematically, we request that all monies be sent to our general secretary, made payable at the Whiteohapel Post-office, and they will then be apportioned to each district equitably. (By order of the Executive Council.) _ _ _ .4 Jo.. Musr., President. ~ WM. ALLAN, Secretary. " London, 25, Little Alie-street, Whitechapel, Jan. 10, 1852." The following wer e agree d u pon as the resolutions to be submitted to th e aggregate mee ting of th e i ron trades, to be held at St. M art i n ' s H a ll, Long-a cre , t hi s day:-- 1. " Resolved,—That many of the employers of London and Lancashire having closed their workshops, this meeting is o f op i n i on that their conduct is unjust and particularly oppressive to non-members and la bourers; and pledges itself to use every exertion in ob taining subscriptions on behalf of all who are thrown out of employment." 2. i . ‘ As the best means of removing the evils which attend the condition of working me n, in relation to the unjust cond uc t o f employers, is self-employment on a comparative basis, this meeting is of opinion that work shops should b e i mmediately commenced b y t h e work men themselv es , i n order that the b us i nes s of the country may b e p roceeded with.

His Lordship proceeded to Birmingham s Ship Hotel, and left Dover for London by the two o'elocli train this afternoon. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 10.—The Sprightly steam-vessel sailed to-day with seamen-gunners for the Hotspur naval gunnery-ship, at Plymouth; also having supernumera ries on board for ships at that port. The Simoom iron screw (auxiliary, of 350 horse power) steam troop-ship, 2,000 tons, was taken out of harbour to-day to try her engines and rate of speed. She was in charge of Captain Henderson, C. 8., and was manned:by about seventy seamen and stokers from the Blenheim, 60, screw guard-ship, at this port. There were also on board Admiral Prescott, superintendent of this dock:ard; the Hon. Captain Pelham; Commander Gardner, of the Blenheim; Commander Van Donop, of the contract mail-packet service; Mr. Andrew Mannay, chief engineer at this port, and other officials. The Simoom had received on board 600 tons of coal and a large quantity of ballast, but the latter not being fairly stowed, caused her to be down very much by the stern. She was taken well out to and through Spit head, and thence to the measured mile in Stokes Bay, where she made six trials. The maximum speed attained, wind and other conditions favourable, was about 9.50 knots per hour, and the minimum, against wind, was about 7.50; the mean result of the trials being 8.45 knots per hour—a result quite as favourable-as was an ticipated, considering her low steam power and large tonnage. Her engines worked very welt. A trial was also made of her readiness in answering her helm, when it was found that she would turn round in three times her own length. It was remarked by the pilot who took her out, that she was one of the easiest vessels he had ever handled. She had a very steady appearance on the water, and looked a remarkably fine ship. The weather was fair, not much wind blowing. She came into harbour in the afternoon, end in running alongside the dockyard her yards got entangled in the rigging of a collier that was unloading. In hastily making a back turn of the Simoom's screw, to get clear of the collier, the starting gear of the engines gave way, but this was not attended by any serious consequences. The Champion, 14, just paid off, and the Fly;ig Fish, 12, have been taken up in ordinary to-day. The Southampton, 50, Captain Cory, late flag- ship of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, C. 8., ex-Commander-in-Chief in the River Plate, r-rived at St. Helen's last night, from Devonport, on her way to Chatham to be paid off. She saluted Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.G., this morning. She brought up 50 seamen from Ply mouth to join ships at this port, whom the Echo has since brought in. The Britannia, 120, Captain Goldsmith, flag-ship for the Mediterranean station, received her crew from her hulk yesterday. She has about 670 entered in all. The Retribution steam-frigate, Captain Warden, hauled alongside the Malabar coal hull yesterday, to complete her stock. The weather continues very foul. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 10.—her Majesty's store -ship Tyne, 4, Master-Commander Peter Wellington, from Barbadoes for the eastward, was spoken at noon to-day, two miles south of the Eddystone, under single-reefed topsails, two top-gallant sails, standing and flying gib, by Mr. Stibbs' pilot boat Zedora, No. 3, which vessel, at four o'clock in the afternoon, when for' miles inside the Eddystone, saw the Tyne on the starboard tack, rider single-reefed topsails, no topgallant sails, apparently unable to weather the Bolt. The brig Rapid, 8, Commander Blane, having had repairs made good, was towed to-day by the steam-ves sel Confiance out of harbour. She will sail on the first wind for the East Indies. The frigate Southampton, 50, Captain Cory, sailed yesterday at 11 A.M., with supernumerarie for the Bri tannia, at Portsmouth, after which she will go to Chat ham to be paid off. The Tweed, 18, Commander Lord F. Russell, was yesterday towed by the Pike steam•vessel from the Sound into harbour, and taken to the jetty to be dismantled. Sho will probably be pa'd off on Friday next, the 16th instant. APPOINTMENT. - -- WOOLWICU, JAN. 10.—Commander George Le G. Bowyeer (1851), recently first lieutenant of the Mean der, 44, on the Pacific station, to study steam at the factory at Woolwich Dockyard. Lieutenant John W. Pike (1848), having completed a course of study of marine steam-engines at the factory at Woolwich Dockyard, was examined by Mr. Atherton, chief engineer, on Thursday and Friday last, and on passing satisfactorily received his certificate. The whole of the officers studying steam at the Wool wich factory went down the river on Friday as far as Greenwich in th e F ur y s t e a m - s l oo p, Commander Ed ward Tatham, to witness the working of her engines. The Fury remained at Gr een hith a t o -d a y, to have her compasses adj us t e d by C a pt a i n J o h nson , an d will be tried at the measured mil e i n S ea R eac h on Monday, and then proceed to P or t smout h, w h ere s h e w ill be paid advance wages before leaving f or th e Mediterranean. The vessel could have been doubly manned before leaving Woolwich with ordinary seamen, and she is but a few short of able seamen, who are only to be obtained with difficulty at the usual ports. The Dee steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander West, was paid off here to-day. The Avon West India Royal Mail steamer has been taken out of the East India Docks at Blackwell, and proceeds round to Southampton, to take out the next Mails for the West Indies. THE CARD CHEATING AT BRIGHTON. On Saturday this case came on again before Mr. Jus tico Erle, at Chambers, on an adjourned hearing, upon the summons taken out calling upon Mr. Sill to show cause why Hump, the prosecutor, should not substitute Mr. Dunn, another attorney, in his stead, to conduct the prosecution against Broome and others, tho defendants in the case. Mr. SILL, after having called his Lordship's attention to the important points put forward as a ground for the proposed change of solicitors, proceeded to read an affi davit of considerable length in reply to the statements made in support of the summons. Documents were also referred to of much interest, and which, he said, he cited for the purpose of throwing light upon this part of the proceedings, and of bearing him out in the allegations he had made when this summons first came before his Lordship, that the application was made for the purpose of stifling the prosecution. After some discussion, Mr. Justice ERLE said, that although there was no doubt that Mr. Hemp had a perfect right to appoint any attorney bio chose to manage his private affairs, he (the Learned Judge) felt that after the magistrates at Brighton, who wore fully cognisant of the case, had thought it right to appoint the head officer of police of that w not nominate tor na p t r e o m sec r. u pu , an iins t t o ea b d e o t f he Mr. H amp, attorney to the prosecution. he could d The matter therefore ended by the Learned Judge making an order that Mr. Sill should deliver his bill of costs within four days to Mr. Hamp,and that on pay ment of the costs by the latter, Mr. Sil l should deliver any papers, the private property of Mr. Hamp, but not such as were essential to the conduct of the prosecution. SEVERE GALES IN THE NORTH. During the last six or eight days there have been some violent gales in the Frith of Forth and St. George's Channel. There has been such a heavy sea off White haven that the fishing b oa ts have not been a ble to ven ture out, and but few trading vesse lf have left t he har bour. A good deal of damae has been s ustained by vessels at sea, but happily no g li ves have been lost. On Wednesday morning the Earl of Lonsdale steamer tre - left Whitehaven for Liverpool, but t here was such a mendous sea, the head wind from the south-west was so terrific, and the vessel pitched with so much violence and made so little way, that it was a long time before she could make the headland off St. Bees, and the gale was then so violent that Cap tain Richards was discreet enough to order the steam er to be put back, and accord ingly returned to Whitehaven after beating about with great violence for nearly three hours. The E ar l f Lonsdale, which belongs to the Whitehr g e o n od S b te o a a m t, but so violent was vigation Company, is considered a ver y Nanaod has weathered many a gale; that of Wednesday that it was not safe to proceed to Liverpool.

THE 'MINISTRY. (From the Observer.) The conjectures respecting the Ministry have been se industriously set on foot, and so indefatigably repeated, with all sorts of additions and variations, that every paper, Whig, Tory, and Radical, Ministerial, anti- Ministerial, and quasi-Ministerial, have considered them selves bound to have something very knowing and pro found to say upon the subject. At this season, just before the meeting of Parliament, there is a rare crop o f rumours in the absence of news. We shall all have plenty to write about when Parliament meets. In the mean ing of Parliament will bring time we are all greatly left to conjecture what the meet ing speculation ;r isi n g b ow m a u n c d h i toifs it, not after year we are never free from those interesting rumours, and the gossip that peculiarly belongs to the season. This year, in the absence of other domestic excitement, likely as possible, and yet :err f e c; the retirement cf so prominent a membr of the Cabinet forth. In any ordinary as Lord Palmerston has given rise to more than usual amount of conjecture and of comment upon passing destitute place in Parliament rliament foundation. at affairs. It is natural to expect all this; but it is sur prisinga a s o l t n h, a e b i sl moste t o superfluous, e p x a p r e t c t utterlyandvast quantity of conjecture is ventilated—looking as the very commencement of the With respect to:the immediate cause of Lord Palmers ton's secession from the Ministry it is not our intention to forestall in any way the explanations which will take session. The cause, or causes, of that event—of which it would be affectation for any one to make light—will be then and there truthfully and fully revealed. After all that had passed in Europe and in the country and in Parliament in relation to that able and distinguished statesman—not only as related to the organized assaults upon the liberal policy of the Government, but the more inveterate attacks upon the Minister who was its ex ponent at home and abroad—after, especially, the great debate and division in the House of Commons the ses sion before the last—after all the great changes which have come over Europe in the last three or four years— after all the battles that have been fought in Parliament and in the press—coupled with the balanced state of parties and of the various shades of opposition—consi dering all these things, it is not wonderful that conjec ture should be more than usually rife, and that state ments should be hazarded with more or less of probabi lity as to the now blood that was to be infused into the Government to replace that which is lost. And yet, after all, there is really very little to be said. The policy of the Government is in no respect changed. 'The vacant office is filled up. There is actually no office in the Cabinet empty. There are two offices, not in the Cabinet, to be filled up. The offices of Paymaster of the Forces and Vice-President of the Board of Trade, as held by Lord Granville, were combined with one salary. There is also an Under-Secretary of State, who, according to law, cannot be a Member of the House of Commons. By the statute of Anne it is provided that only two Secreteries of State are to sit in the House of Commons. It may be observed en passant, that the permanent appointment of three Secretaries of State is of a later date. This rule is held to apply to the Under- Secretaries also, and, as the two gentlemen who fill those offices, Mr. Bouverie and Mr. F. Peel, are in the House of Commons, the third Under -Secretary cannot be a Member of that House. The rule was first established on constitutional grounds, although it is an arrangement that a certain school of Ultra-Liberals now denounce as more honoured in the breach than in the observance. But, at all events, there it is ; and it may, perhaps, become a question whether it is useful or injurious in thus limiting the selection of the Crown with respect to those offices in the State that are called " Puha mentary." There it is, however ; and this, with the offices just vacated by Earl Granville, are all the offices to be filled up at present. Without entering into the very ingenious disquisitions of our contemporaries, we are able to state our own con viction that the present Cabinet will meet Parliament in substantially the same condition thatehey are in at pre sent. With respect to the negotiations that are so con fidently alleged to have taken place, we believe they have no existence save in the imagination of their inge nious authors. So far as precise facts are given it is possible to be more explicit still. It was confidently and unhesitatingly stated that Sir James Graham had an interview with Lord John Russell, which lasted three hours, on Wednesday last. Notwithstanding the pre cision with which time and place are given for this three hours' interview, the simple fact is that Sir James Gra ham had no interview with Lord John Russell at all. The Right Hon. Baronet was in town the greater part of the week, and came up specially to attend the meetings of the Chancery Reform Commission; which sat daily during the week at Lincoln's Inn, and of which Sir James Graham and Mr. Herley are the two lay mem bers. As Sam Slick says, " that's a fact." So far as conjectures go, we do not pretend to judge better than others. But wo should have little difficulty indeed in surmising, after all, that should any further changes be found necessary, and should the Government require to be strengthened, as we are so constantly told, the recruits will be from the ranks of the same party, and little confidence indeed could be had in any combi nation where honest conviction and honourable identity of opinion and congruity of action were not to be the basis of the arrangement. There is rather a loose mo rality abroad upon these subjects. Every one points out his own friends. Each dwells upon the propriety of some incongruous combination of dissonant and opposite ma terials, which he is fain to call strength, but which, on the contrary, would carry the seeds of dissolution in its own bosom from its very birth. There is one point dwelt upon which is right, if rightly understood. This country must be governed upon broad and comprehensive principles. Let us add that these principles must not only bo broad and corn prehensive,ibut also well defined. Of these the Parlia ment and the people of England will judge. The prin ciples of the party in power are well known and truly tried. The Opposition will also, it is to be presumed, put forward a programme upon which they can agree, and to which, before it is successful, the people of Eng land must assent. It is proverbially easy to find fault. We are constantly told that such and such people exist who can be brought into consultation on public affairs; and in the next breath we are informed that such and such people aforesaid are good for nothing. We are to have a broad basis for an Administration, and yet the materials for such basis are shown to be utterly unsound one after another. The crochets of the Manchester school are paraded in lieu of statesmanship one day, and the pro-Popery of the Peelites is extolled on the next, without a thought being given all the time to the dangers of the one course, and the thorough British unpopularity of the other. It would be worse than madness, worse than folly, it would be again. We are told that the Ministry is not strong or commanding enough; but no other party is strong.h or a a crime to knock down before you are ready to build up commanding at all.

While these events were taking place, the companion of the murdered man had reached Banbury, where ho made known the death of his uncle, stating (we are told) that they had been attacked by three ruffians, and seeing the uselessness of resistance, he had fled across the fields to the town. A visit to the scene of the catastrophe was immediately made by the authorities, and a consideration of the pecu liar circumstances of the case led to the arrest and de tention of the nephew until such time as his innocence can be satisfactorily proved, and a coroner's jury have pronounced their verdict. The deceased was an elderly man, we believe upwards of 70 years of age, but well and hearty for his years. Ho is believed to be possessed of considerable property for a man in his station. his nephew had been living with him for some months. A short time since the young man purchased a pistol of's gunmaker in the town, and this is one of the strongest facts against him. Up to this time no weapon has been discovered, though a strict search has been instituted. The coroner's inquest will be held to -morrow (Monday). THE LATE STABBING CABE AT TEMPLE BAB.

George Mills, Esq." This letter conveys no information relative to the pro bable cause of the fire on board the Amazon, and con jecture is as rife as ever as to the origin of the confla gration. It is the opinion of Mr.l Mills, the company's engineer, that the fire broke out in the fore-hold among the cargo, as the flames were first soon coming up the fore-hatchway, and this has been confounded with the fore-hatchway leadinr , to the forward boilers, a totally distinct portion of the vessel, although not a great dis tance from the boilers ana forward funnel. If the fire originated amongst the cargo, it is to be feared that some portion of the merchandise stowed there consisted of combustible materials, or that some description of gets was generated, which in process of time ignited, sad spread with tearful and uncontrolled rapidity. Whether this supposition be correct or not it is impossible to say, but it is hoped that some of the survivors at Brest will be able to give their testimony and opinion, so that a reliable conjecture may be formed of the cause of the catastrophe. The boatful of persons which got away, and is alluded to in William Stone's letter, is thought to be the boat fallen in with by the Marsden. If not, it is to be hoped it may have been picked up by some outward bound vessel. Two boats at least now remain to be accounted for, and some time will elapse before it may be said with certainty that all but the 46 who have been landed at Plymouth and Brest have perished. The packet brig Brilliant, Captain Caldbeck, arrived here this morning from Madeira. Although she has crossed the Bay of Biscay, she has seen none of the Ama zon's boats or crew, and no vestige of the wreck. She spoke a large war-steamer, outward bound with troops for the Cape of Good Hope. We understand that the following communication has been addressed to the owner of the ➢iarsden:— " Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company, No. 55, Moorgate-street, London, Jan. 9, 1852. " Sir,—By desire of the directors of this company I called at your office this morning, being the earliest mo ment after the inquiry hold yesterday at Southampton, respecting the destruction by fire of the Amazon, to ex press to you, as ow ne r o f t h e b r i g Marsden, the great admiration of the directors at the conduct of Captain Evans, in so kindly receiving on board that vessel the 21 persons who escaped in a life-boat, and in bearing up to land them at Plymouth, by which their relatives and friends have been spared much suspense and cruel anxiety. " Should any expense have been occasioned, either to you or Captain Evans, by the return to England and con sequent slight detention of the Marsden, the directors will be most ready to receive the particulars, with a view of defraying the same. " I am to add that a copy of this letter will be sent to Captain Evans by this evening's post, with an intimation of its being the intention of the directors to present him (through you) with some mark of their approval and respect. . " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " E. CHAPPELL, Secretary. " Mr. Gibson, 19, Gracechurch-street." Mr. Trewicke, the unfortunate second officer of the Amazon, and who had command of the watch on the fatal night, was about to emigrate to Canada on his re turn home in the Amazon. It was to be his last voyage as a sailor. Though a first-rate officer, he had a strange dislike to the sea. One of the boys who was lost in the Amazon was named George Jerram, aged 17. He bad always assisted his father, who is a Southampton fisher man. This boy had entered on board the ship without the knowledge of his parents, and they were broken hearted when they took leave of him. Many of these fishermen have a strange horror of steamers. The Royal Mail Company have rewarded Mr. Vin cent, the heroic young midshipman of the Amazon, by appointing him 4th officer to the Thames. They aro about to present him with a quadrant, on which will be engraven a record of his heroism and pre-eminent merit; and he has been ordered to replace everything he lost in the wreck at the expense of the company. Most of the churches and chapels m in Southampton have been filled to-day, in consequence of the clergy and ministers improving the event of the wreck of the Amazon by imploring sympathy and support for those who have been rendered friendless and fatherless by the catastrophe, and holding up the judgments of God on earth in all their terrible sublimity us a warning to the thoughtless and the guilty. The loss of this ill-feud ship (says our Plymouth correspondent) has formed the subject of painful excite ment hero since Tuesday, when the 21 persons rescued by the Marsden were landed here. One of the passen gers, Lieutenant 11. Grylls, of her Majesty's ship Sidon, is well known and much respected in Devonport, and is the son of the Rev. Mr. Grylls, the esteemed incum bent of St. Neots, in Cornwall. The gallant young officer had been advised to delay his departure, in con sequence of the anticipated death of another son, who died shortly after the lieutenant's departure, on the Ist of January. The interest created by this sad calamity increases rather than diminishes, every fresh ray of hope, from whatever source, and whether founded upon fact or s imple supposition, serving to keep alive the excitement caused by this tremendous catastrophe. On Saturday one of the s urvivors, who with twenty-four others, was conveyed.into Brest by the Dutch barque Ge rt 'tlid w hi c h had picked them up at sea, had imMediatelyrupot his arrival in London, an interview with p the directors of t h e Royal West Indi a M a il Ste acket Company. This gentleman com mun i cated to them al all that he knew, and added one most important point, which we hope may turn out to be correct, that, in his judgmeat, there arc tbree,boats b es id es those already accounted for, with part of the crew and passengers on board, whi c h escaped from the wreck. These boats have not yet been heard of; but h e t hi nks there is every reason to hope that they have been picked up by some vessel proceeding to the West Indies; or assuming them to have cleared the Amazon, and not to have been picked up, they have bean d r i ven to the southward, towards the coast of Spain. SHOCKING ACCIDENT. SHIELDS, SATURDAY NIGHT.—This morning shocking and fatal accident was discovered to have taken place on board the Clipper, belonging to Falmouth, a vessel, that after delivering a cargo of oil at Hull, from the Mediterranean, came round here to load coals. Two seamen and a boy, the foremast men, had filled a pan full of burning coal, and placed it in the forecastle, where they slept, to warm it. The master, for fear they would set fire to the ship, ordered them to extinguish it before they turned in, but they had neglected to do so. When the hatch was closed there was no mode of egress for the smoke from the fir©, and on the mate this morning, about seven o'clock, proceeded to knock the hands up, he got no answer, and, fearing something was the matter, took off the hatch and went below. He discovered the boy, John Porter, dead, and the two men lying, he could not tell whether alive or dead. He imm e di a t e ly gave the alarm, and the master ascertaining what was the matter, sent off for assistance, and the men were brought on deck. Two medical gentlemen were soon on board, and every effort was made to save the lives of the two poor fellows that were alive. They were taken by the police boat to th e . s t a tion, and from then ce t o th e Lord Nelson public house, where every attention was paid to them. Very great doubts were ex p resse d of their recovery , but this evening the medical men were very sanguine of fetching them about. The name of the master of the vessel is Henry W i hitburn; one of the seamen is named James Dotley, the Christian name of the other is Stephen, but his surname is not known. This is the second case of suffocation on board ship in the Tyne, caused by burning coals in the forecastle without a funnel to let away the smoke.
