The Collingwood, 80, Captain Smart, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir George.Seymour;Commander-in-Chief in the Pacific, was at Valparaiso on the 28th of January. A.private letter of the above date says--" We are still here (Valparaiso), and do not expect to sail much before April next. The Spy brigantine, Lieutenant-Comm an d er Woolridge, has been hove down in consequence of getting ashore in the Straits of Magellan, and having damaged about 50 feet of her false keel and copper. She is now ready for sea, and expects to sail shortly for the Leeward Islands. The Admiral has been on a week's cruise in the Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Gordon, with his family; he returned on the ad inst. Our mizenmast is repaired, and we are now all right again. The officers intend to give the inhabitants a grand entertainment. The Cormorant will sail in a few days for Panama for our Admiral's dispatches. The Fisgard sailed on the 6th for Callao. The Collingwood, Cormorant, Spy, and Nereus, 42, store ship, are in harbour, all well. The French brig Genea, 20, arrived from Rio on the 22d. I believe the affair of Callao, mentioned in my last as likely to lead to hostilities, is amicably adjusted, but I will not fail to put you in posses sion of the facts in my next." The Athol troop ship, Master Commanding E. J. P. Pears, took on board some detachments of regiments from Park hurst bar, acks, Isle of Wight, yesterday, brought by Echo steam-tug, and sailed this morning for the westward. The Royal Yacht hauled alongside the dockyard this morning to replenish fuel. 4The Penelope took out her guns yesterday by the shears alongside the dockyard jetty; she hauled off again to bet hulk this morning.

WINDSOR, TIIURSDAY EVENING. —From instructions which were received at the Castle this morning, from Buckingham Palace, to prepare certain of the apartments for the reception of her Majesty, so that they may be in readiness at a short notice, it would appear that it is not improbable the Court ?nay visit Windsor at a very early period. Indeed, it is now reported that it is not unlikely her Majesty's aceouchement may take place at the Castle. It may be mentioned, however, that no official communication on this subject has been received by Mrs. Foster, the housekeeper of the private apartments. • WOOWICH, MAY 14.—The Sea Queen, hired convict ship, sailed from opposite the Royal Arsenal, on Monday, with female convicts, for Sydney; and the John Calvin, hired convict-ship, on Wednesday, with male convicts, for Norfolk Island. One of the con victs on beard the latter vessel attempted to escape on Thursday last by jumping overboard, and the sentry had his gun presented to fire at him, when a watermen's boat. belonging to one of the Woolich water men, named Davis, came in a line with the convict, which prevented the sentry from firing. The waterman, on being made acquainted with the convict's attempt to escape, rowed towards him. and brought him back to the John Calvin. The convicts for the Maitland convict ship, still lying off the Royal Arsenal, have not yet been brought down the river. IRISH SOCIETY OF LONDON.

Yesterday, between the hours of four, A.m., and five, pat,' no fewer than seven fires occurred in the metropolis, soma of which were attended with considerable damage. The fiat broke out at a few minutes past four, upon the premises be longing to Messrs. R. and R. Soulters, ship-chandlers and sail-makers, carrying on business in Lower Shadwell. The! flames originated in the ground floor of the back work-shop. Owing to the prompt assistance afforded by the firemen, police-constables, and strangers, the fire was confined to, that portion of the premises in which it commenced. Thee damage will be covered by an insurance in the Phoenix Fires Office. At half-past five, the same morning, considerable' alarm was created in the neighbourhood of Holborn, by aa• report being raised that the premises of Mr. C. Reeking. silk-merce r and linen-draper, situate at No. 62, on the hill. were on fire. Engines of the Brigade and West of Eng land Office attended with all expedition. It was them ascertained that the flooring and trimming joists in thee dining-room on the second floor had become ignited.. The inmates, &c., by great exertion, got the fire out. but not before considerable damage was done by water,. not only to the apartment in which the disaster occur red, but also to the floor under and the stock in once part of the shop. The fire is returned to the insurance-. offices to have arisen from smoking tobacco. Mr. Meeking is insured in the Sun, Phoenix, the London, the Union. Atlas, Norwich Union, and Scottish Union Offices. Be-. tween four and five in the afternoon, a fire, of an alarming nature, was discovered burning on the premises belonging to Messrs.

Sur.,—lt has been reported that Sir Robert Peel the other day, in his place in the House of Commons, stated that the corn-laws were not only impolitic, but they were unjust. If it is true that the Premier of the greatest country in the world gave utterance to these expressions, he conveyed a moral truth which does as much honour to his head as his heart. This great moral principle expressed in so solemn a manner, not only thrills the heart with delight, but carries hope and pleasure home to the breast of every honest man. But the same great principle, if car ried out, is equally applicable, and applies with as much force to other things. Why not then apply the same great principle to the interest of the navy ? Who could have read the speeches and statements of Commodore Sir Charles Napier and Captain Rous when the navy estimates were dis cussed, last session, without being astounded at the millions spent in altering and building ships ? Surely the ships taken from France and Spain were the finest models in the world, and all built on mathematical principles! Suck models were a beacon and a guide, and might have been improved upon without spending such extraordinary sums! Again, have recourse to Haltain s New Naval List, you will see some officers about six months lieutenants and corn mandera—others, twenty years and upwards! These glaring and crying acts of injustice call aloud for redress. When the Admiralty established the just rule of suffering every officer to serve for three years successively, why did they confine it to the favourite few ? If that just rule had been carried out fairly there would have been no need of a retirement, because officers refusing, or unable to serve, might have been shelved, and had a retiring allowance according to their services. It is not my business, Sir, to detail to ycu cases of officers abandoned, without hope, which this bad system creates ; but I could a case unfold that would " adorn a tale" and " point a moral." Besides, it is a stumbling- block to merit.—l am, &c. A LOVER OF JUSTICE. Cheltenham, May 13, 1E46. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Canopus, 84, Captain Fairfax Moresby, suTived.at Spithead this morning about nine o'clock, from Halifax - "last from Plymouth, with the re mainder of the 43d Regiment on board. She spoke the squadron of evolutioa yesterday, between three and four o'clock, working down Channel, and saluted the Commo dore when the latter was off Dunnose. When spoken, the squadron was running down under single-reefed topsails and courses, except the Trafalgar, which was astern under top gallant sails. The steamers were to leeward under canvass, the:Terrible leading, and the Retribution heeling over with every puff of wind in a very extraordinary manner. A The strong easterly gale which blew from half-past one l ir yesterday, and ci ' ued during the night, p reven t e d th e Canopus making *thead until. this morning. She le ft Halifax on the 2 ult. After disembarking her troops she will proceed to join the squadron. Numerous casualties are reported to have occurred yester day. Two Gosport wherries are missing; they went out full of company, bet neither boats nor freight have yet made their appearance, arid it is feared the squall came upon them unawares, and swamped them. The Bee tender had a narrow escape; so frail a vessel was but as a sheet of paper upon the water; however, we are happy to say, she brought all her company saf e ly h ome a b out 6 o'clock. The Emerald tender, with Major-General and Lady Pakenham, family, and party on board, could not beat up at all against the gale, and to save herself and party was compelled to make the cir cuit of the Isle of Wight and come up through the Needles, landing her party at nearly 12 o'clock, drenched, of course. The Lady de Saumarez steamer, with between 200 and 300 passengers on board, was driven ashore, and remained stranded some hours, but eventually got safely off, the pas sengers having, in the interval, been taken out in the coast wherries. An aged waterman said he never witnessed a squall so sudden in his life, nor a gale so soon spring up from a summer breeze. 1837 £l9l 13 51287 13 5 £l3 17 1 £395 Il 1 ' 1838 165 13 0 74 13 10 11 8 6 346 2 3 1090 74 3 4 1839 138 13 6 61 It 31 9 210 296 13 4 1840 39 0 0 41 13 4 6 0 0 247 4 5 The division of profits is annual, and the next will be mal ,m ter of the prennt year.

The Provisional Committee of this Company having advertised a meeting of their scripholders, for the purpose of submitting for their approval the Bill now before Parliament to authorise the construc tion of the above line of railway, we the undersigned take this op portunity of stating that we retain our original objections to the scheme. We consider the line of the proposed railway would be costly in construction and unremunerative to the proprietors, circuitous as a means of communication between Ulverstone, the west coast, and the south of England, and therefore likely to be supplanted hereafter by a more direct line ; and, not being called for, or justified by any public necessity, that it would involve a wanton interference with private interests. We, and many other landowners upon the proposed line of railway, have presented a petition to the House of Commons, containing the above and other grounds of objection, and we shall adopt allne cessary means for urging them before the Committee on the Bill.

THE PARKER SOClETY.—Yesterday the annual meeting of this Society, instituted in 1840, for the publication of the works of the fathers and early writers of the Reformed English Church, was held at Freemasons' Hall.

Fourteen authors were at present in preparation, and various other standard books, which front their scarcity are be yond the reach of a largo number of persons who would otherwise make themselves acquainted with their contents.
