The Journal des Dr bats of Monday still main tained that no protest had been presented to M. Guizot by Lord Normanby against the Montpensier marriage. " The British Minister of Foreign Affairs," it says, "has sent to the British Ambassador at Paris a dispatch, with instructions for its being read and a copy left with the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, and that dispatch manifested the dissent of the English Government in the least amicable terms. " We think it right to repeat, that in spite of all the rumours to the contrary, the two marriages will be celebrated at the period which has been desig nated, and we persist in thinking and saying that the differences to which this resolution may have given rise, however much they may be to be re gretted, are not of a nature to compromise the pacific relations between the three Governments." The Duke de Montpensier and the Duke d'Aumale left Paris for Madrid on Monday morning. The Madrid correspondent writes cn the 234 inst. that Mr. Bulwer sent in on the 22d a protest, in the name of his Government, against the Montpensier marriage. " Finding," he says, " that neither the counsels, the interests, the wishes, nor the friendly feelings of England were in the slightest degree regarded or taken into consideration, Mr. Bulwer was compelled to present, as a last measure, a formal prGtest." The Three per Cents. were done at 35i for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 22 i- the Five per Cents. at 22 5-16ths; Passives, 6i; Coupon, 20i. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. (THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) At four o'clock the state of the poll was declared to be— For Mr. Alderman Wood 152 Sir George Carroll 6B Alderman Hooper 3l This announcement was received by a crowded_hal with loud cheers. _ _ Mr. Alderman WOOD then came forward to ad dress the Livery, and was received with most enthu siastic cheering. After it had in some measure subsided, he said he thought the meeting would admit that he was not wrong in his anticipations of success.— (Hear, hear.) He had thrown himself entirely in the hands of the Livery—(Hear, hear)—he was not sorry that he had done so, and that was the best test of his competency to fill the high and honourable office to which he aspired. Because he was not the most opulent man in the world he was to be oppressed and prevented from filling an office which, he must confess, he thought he had as much right to as any of the other aldermen of London who had not yet passed the chair. —(Hear, hear.) He had done all in his power to explain away transactions that ought never to have existed, and for which he ought never to have been run down in the way he had been. —(Great cheering.) He had been a magistrate of this City for eleven years, and he appealed to the Livery whether or not he had discharged the duties of that office impartially. He felt proud to think that his brother Liverymen had entered heart sad hand in the cause. He had been the object of their choice for four years as chief magistrate, and he had failed in his hopes and wishes without any reasons having been assigned for his rejection. It was th e exc l us i ve privilege of the Livery to elect their own magistrate. They had with one voice elected him for the last four years, but in other quarters, for what cause he knew not, he had been rejected.--(Hear, hear.) He had embarked in the present contest from no inclination of his own—(Hear) — it had been forced upon him at th e e l even th hour. He called upon the Livery not only to keep him in the proud pre-eminence in which he then stood, but to return him to the Court of Alderm en by an immense majority. Alderman Hooper had manf ully stated that h e h a d no desire to be elected out of his turn, and he had depre cated the whole of the proceedings that had taken pl ace . —(Cheers.) He was sure if the L ivery would as o ne PAN with one mighty energy, contain@ to pereeno Lu TBE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY - EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1846. the good cause they would be triumphant.—(Cries of " We will.") The Hall was then adjourned till to-morrow morning at nine o'clock. - - --- VALE OF NEATH RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The first ordinary meeting of the proprie' ors of this company was held to-day at the company's ( ffices, 449, West Strand, Viscount Villiers, M.P. (chairman), in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that this railway would extend from Neath to Merthyr Tydvil, and passed through a country remarkable for it s richness, which it would connect with Merthyr. They would require to be vested with authority to made additional purchases in the Collieries, as well as in other places.—(Hear.) The sum which would be required, including everything, was somewhere under 17,0001. He took the maximum. —(Hear, hear.) The/ would submit to the meeting, ac cording to Act of Parliament, the resolutions that would be necessary for the appointment of the se cretary and of the other officials. It was the intention of the directors to proceed immediately with the works. They would have a meeting to morrow, when they would determine on what part of the line they would commence their operations, and they would be enabled to open the line before next year. The SECRETARY then read the report, which recom mended that Mr. Frederick Saunders be re-elected as secretary. It further stated that, owing to the shortness of time that had elapsed since the Act of Incorporation was obtained, they had not been able to ascertain with accuracy the expenses incurred up to that time. In conclusion, it stated that an agreement had been entered into with the South Wales Company for the purpose of securing the construction of a branch to the port of Neath. The report was adopted, and ordered to be printed and circulated among the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to some questions, stated that 21,110 shares had been registered, and that some had been reserved for the Great Western Railway Com pany. The number of unregistered shares was 5,980. The Chaiman and the other directors were re-elected. A sum of 1,0001. was then voted to the directors ; and the re-appointment of the various officials, together with their salaries, having been determined, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting then separated. LARNE, BELFAST, AND BALLY- MENA RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A meeting of the Scripholders of this company was held to• day, at twelve o'clock, at the London Tavern, to consider on the dissolution of the company under Lord Dalhousie's Act. Mr. Spottiswood occupied the chair. Messrs. Thos. M`Quig, James Watt, and James Brydon were then appointed scrutineers. The CHAIRMAN then moved that this company be forthwith dissolved, and put the question. He then moved that this dissolution be not an act of bankruptcy, and put this question to the meeting. A PROPRIETOR wished to know whether the directors present represented scrip. The CHAIRMAN—Of course they do. Mr. COHEN asked whether the 3,5001. applied by the directors in the purchase of shares had been paid into the assets of the company ? The CHAIRMAN—Of course not. It was a purchase for the company. The scrutineers then reported that 505 had voted for dissolution and 25 against it ; that 320 voted against its being an act of bankruptcy, and 60 for it,125 being neuter. Mr. M'QuIG said it was neessary for the Chairman to produce his scrip, though he could not vote ; but having understood, as a scrutineer, that the Chairman had, by inadvertancy, left his scrip at home, he.believed no one would doubt the Chairman having scrip, and moved, therefore, that he be continued in the chair. This was put and carried. The CHAIRMAN then said he was happy to tell the shareholders, that since he last met them the surplus funds were in a better condition, that instead of 7s. 6d. a share he expected there would be 10s., unless some expenses were created to the Company of which they had no anticipation. A PROPRIETOR could not understand how the direc tors could have spent 325. a share. The CHAIRMAN—In obtaining their Act of Parlia ment. Mr. BURCHILE said, in the case of this company the Act may be said to have been obtained, for they had gone through all the trouble and expenses necessasy ; they had gone through the Lords, and they were ad vanced in the Commons as far as the third reading. Mr. COHEN—The North Staffordshire, which sus tained a contest for nearly two years, had only con tracted 16s. expenses per share. Mr. BURCIIILL said that Mr. Cohen would recollect that in the case of the North Staffordshire there was a large capital, whereas ih this company the capital was but small, and the expenses and fees of the House were the same, or nearly so, in both instances. Mr. COHEN.-1 here is 8001. put down by the directors for travelling expenses, and yet in the North Stafford shire they were no more than 4001., a line as long again as this one. _ _ _ Mr. BuncHlLL—The travelling is to Ireland in the one case and nut in the other. Mr. MOBLEY said that when first this company was brought before the public he had become one of ti e board. After sitting there for a time he fet it necessary to withdraw. He found, however, that he could not retire his interest so easily as his per al from the company, and therefore to protect, that he begged his friends again to have him elected. If there had been any improper conduct in this company, he was ready to go into a court c f bank ruptcy with the shareholders, or he would go with them into the Court of Chancery; or, which he thought the better advice, he would be happy to co-operate with one or two gentlemen from among the shareholders assembled, on a committee to investigate the accounts of the com pany before next meeting. He believed he was still legally liable for all that had been done by the directors in his absence, and he was ready to meet his liabilities and to investigate the charges. There were thirteen or fourteen directors at first, and here were only three to answer for their conduct. Mr. COHEN was most happy to hear the suggestion last made, and gave it his decided support. After an altercation of a somewhat personal character between Mr. Cohen and the Chairman, Messrs. M'Quig and Cohen were deputed on the part of the shareholders to confer with the directors on the affairs of the com pany, and to report at next meeting. The CHAIRMAN adjourned the meeting to the 6th October next, at two o'clock. SALES OF RAILWAY SHARES BN AUCTION.—(THIS DAY.) The sale of railway shares to day, at Messrs.

SuaAß.—To-day the quantity of home-trade Sugar brought to public sale was extensive, and prices were not so firm. In West India a good business was transacted in bright yellow qualities, but merchants were in some cases compelled to lower their prices 6d per cwt; the rates taken exhibit a fall on those of Friday of 6d to is per cwt, and holders of such were evidently inclined to realise, owing to the increasing supplies. REFINED.—To-day Refined sugar met with less attention from the home trade, but owing to the small supply brown lamps could not be obtained under 635, and standard lumi s 655. per cwt. In Bonded Crushed Sugar a good business was transacted but at prices varying from 33s to 33s 6d for first quality. MAURITLES.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with less attention, and 2,123 bags at auction were sold at rather lower prices. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the public sales of Bengal Sugar consisted of 3,647 bags, the superior grainy sorts went at stiff rates, but white and other kinds went 6d per cwt lower. FOREIGN.—This afternoon two parcels of Manilla Sugar, amounting to 10,783 bags, were offered at auction, and nearly all sold, but at a fall in the value of 6d per cwt. 702 chests of Havannah sold at full rates. 50 cases of Bahia were taken in at 43s for ordinary brown. COFFEE.—This afternoon several purchases were made privately in native Ceylon, and it was difficult to buy good ordinary under 40s per cwt. Plantation is little wanted, 340 bags were offered at auction and nearly all taken in at 55s 6d for fine ordinary coloury, being barely the former value, the 33 bags pea berry however sold at 65s 6d per cwt. The coloury kinds of Foreign are still wanted, but common sorts are dull of sale. TEA.—Holders of Congou are reluctant to further reduce their prices, and the trade have operated with more freedom, still they are not inclined to take more than their present wants require : a fair business has been transacted, but holders have been compelled to accept 8d to Bid for common, and 9d for good common, cash. There is a fair quantity on offer, particularly of the better qua lities. Pouchong has been in good demand, and owing to the falling off in the supply prices have slightly improved. Souchong has been sold to a fair extent at previous mode rate rates. The market for Green has a dull appearance, the quantity on offer is large of all qualities, and prices are lowering. ° At auction, Congou out of condition, of which the chief part consisted, went at 8d to 9d. Imperial of good sound quality, Hy-son kind, only brought 2s Id, and good brightish leaf Twankay is 2d per lb. SPICES.—The demand has improved for Nutmegs, and an advance in the value of Id to 2d per lb has taken place. In Mace more business has been transacted, and at somewhat better prices. Jamaica Ginger has not further improved in value, but at previous rates a good business has been trans ./4A AO 029 Peckitgel at avictien were all gold. Ent India and African have been sold to a fair extent privately at stiffer rates. Of preserved Ginger 191 pkgs, at auction, were taken in at 2s 6d to 3s per lb. Of Black Pepper, none has been offered at auction, and privately few purchases have been made by exporters or the home trade, lowlas prices are. The stock is much the same as what it was last year, but the deliveries are still less, especially for exportation, end prices are lower; although white can be obtained at 3 1 / 2 d to 5 1 Ad for low to fine quality, still few buyers are to be met with, but the quantity offering is not so large as it was. Pimento has fully sustained the previous value, and several parcels have been sold privately. Cloves have met with little attention, but holders are reluctant. For Cassia Lignea the market has a firm appearance. Cinnamon is wanted, and the parcels sold were at quotations, 2d to 4d above those of the last quarterly sales ; for inferior, coarse, and jungle kinds, prices are improving. The supply of all sorts is less than it was. WooL.—The public sales of Colonial have at length ter minated. The attendance has been numerous, and the de mand animated for all descriptions. Although the quantity offered was prodigious, still nearly the whole sold, the manu facturers having come to the determination to get well stocked, in consequence of the moderate rates that existed, and the enormous quantity of Wool there is being consumed. Prices improved towards the conclusion of the sales, and closed at an advance on those of the last auctioas of Id per lb. SPIRITS.—To-day Leeward Island Rum met with little attention, although there are sellers at 2s 2d proof strength. For Jamaica the market has a dull appearance, and the tendency of prices is still downwards. East India is little wanted, and 19 casks at auction were taken in at 2s aid to 2s 4d per gallon for Madras. The stock of Rum differs little from that of last year. INDlGO.—Holders of East India are firm, and insist upon an advance on the rates of the last quarterly sales of 3d to 4d per lb, although the quantity declared for the 6th of October is large, amounting to 21,268 chests. There has, however, been only a limited business transacted by ex porters and the home trade since this day week. For Spanish the market has a firm appearance. COCHINEAL.—To-day the market was well supplied; the quantity offered at public sale amounting to 286 bags ; nearly the whole sold. Oms.—For Seal Oil there has been a brisk demand, and the tendency of prices is upwards, pale bringing 29/. to 291 10s, yellow 261 to 271, and brown 251 to 251 lOs ; indeed some parties will not sell upon these terms, and the quan tity on offer is yet small. At auction 38 tuns were sold, tinged pale, at 281. to 281 10s, and yellow at 271 per tun. The home trade continue to be the principal operators. Low qualities, wanted for exportation, but of such few parcels are to be had. Cod has met with a dull sale, and the quantity on:offer is larger than it was. No further advance has taken place in the value of Southern, but privately a good business has beon transacted, and full rates are given. Sperm has not improved in value, but the demand privately has been brisker. There are many purchasers of Coaco Nut Oil, but little is to be had. Palm as been in excellent request, and prices are firm. In Rape Seed Oil there has been more busi ness transacted at better prices. Olive has been in excel lent demand, merchants have confidence, as the stock is en the decrease, and the consumption going on largely.

Mary Kirwan, a notorious thief, who has been thrice convicted of felony, and Daniel O'Leary, were brought before Mr. Ballantine; the former charged with stealing one half-crown and three shillings, the moneys of Peter Curvis, a cordwainer, residing in Broadwall, Blackfriars road; and the other with feloniously aiding and abetting the said Mary Kirwan, after she had committed the felony, he well knowing she had done so. It appeared from the evidence, that on Saturday ni g ht the prosecutor was passing over Tower-hill, and upon reaching a place near where the sentinels were upon duty, he was accosted by the prisoner, who caught hold of his arm, put her arms round his waist, and asked him to give her something to drink. He told her to go away, but she kept her hands and arms about him, and he found one of her hands immediately afterwards in his waistcoat pocket, in which two half-crowns and four shil lings were deposited. He saw the edge of one of the half croWns emerging from the pocket, and exclaimed " You are robbing me." She laughed and ran away. Curvis instantly missed one half-crown and three shillings from his packet, and ran after the woman, who was soon overtaken close to the Woolpackpublic:house, at the Tower-hill end of the Miaories. Curvis had no sooner laid hold of the woman than O'Leary ran out of the public-house, and said, " What are you doing with my wife?" Curvis replied, " She has robbed me ; she has taken away a half-crown and es." O'Leary said that would not do for him, and after strik ing the prosecutor dragged the woman away from him, and she immediately retreated into the public-house. Curvis ran after her and got hold of her again. O'Leary pulled her from him a second time, and she got away.. Curvis then gave O'Leary into the custody of a City policeman, named Flashbourn, No. 522, and said he had rescued a man who had robbed him. O'Leary said he had only protected the woman from the violence of Cur vis, who was about to strike her, and he pulled her away. The policeman fortunately knew O'Leary, and locked him up. On Sunday night the woman was apprehended by Orams, an active police-sergeant, No. 18 11, close to the spot where she had committed the robbery on the preceding night, and where she was on the look-out for other victims. It was stated that similar robberies had been of frequent occurrence on Tower-hill, and that a horde of dissipated women were constantly waylaying men on their way home after sunset. A former conviction against the woman was proved. She was tried and found guilty of robbery at the Clerkenwell sessions in February, 1845, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoners were committed for trial, the woman as a principal, and her paramour as an accessory after the fact. WORSHIP-STREET. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. A decent-looking .countryman, named Benjamin Daniels, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged, in the language of the police charge-sheet, on suspicion of having absconded and stolen the sum of 341., the property of Mr. John Baxter, a master butcher residing at Norwich. Thomas Ashton, an inspector of the Eastern Counties Railway, stated that between one and two o'clock on Saturday afternoon a communication was received at the Shoreditch terminus, through the medium of the electric telegraph, from Norwich, to the effect that a man named Benjamin Daniels, whose dress and person were circum stantially described, had left that place by the eleven o'clock train, and directing on its arrival in ;town that he might be given into custody. The nature of the offence he had committed not having been specified, a telegraphic dispatch was at once transmitted back for further particulars, the answer to which was, that the accused had absconded with 341., and that the prosecutor would come up by the next train to substantiate the charge. About three hours after the above interchange of communication, which occupied only about five minutes, the train in question arrived at Shoreditch, and as the person of the prisoner, who was one of the pas sengers, corresponded exactly with the description they had received, he was given into custody. Mr. John Baxter stated that he had had frequent deal ings with the prisoner, who was also a master butcher at Norwich, and about a week since sold two bullocks to the latter for 341, which the prisoner promised to pay when they met at market on the following Saturday. The prisoner, however, failed to keep his appointment, and having ascertained that he had started by the rail way that morning for London, witness instantly hastened to the office of the electric telegraph and gave the neces sary instructions for the prisoner's apprehension. In answer to the charge the prisoner denied being ac tuated by any fraudulent intention, and expressed his readiness to satisfy the prosecutor's claim, notwithstand ing the harsh and injurious treatment to which he had been subjected. Mr. BROUGHTON considered that the prosecutor had been very ill-advised in the course he had adopted, as the transaction amounted to a mere matter of account between the- parties, which ought not for a moment to be made the subject of criminal proceedings, and he should therefore order the prisoner to be discharged. NAT AL INTELLIGENCE. THE SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Retribution steam fri gate, Captain Lushington, arrived this morning at Spit head, about nine, and saluted the Commander-in-Chief with seventeen guns, in smart style, which was duly ac knowledged by the Victory. She left the squadron of evolution under the command of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, on Tuesday night, at nine P.M. The squadron then consisted of the Rodney, 92, Captain Collier; the Vanguard, 80, Captain Willis; the Albion, 90, Captain Lockyer; the Superb, 80, Cap tain Corry; the Trafalgar, 120, Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer'; the Cyclops steam frigate, Captain Lapidge; the Terrible steam frigate, Captain amsay ; the Phoenix steam sloop, Commander Dennis; and the Spartan, 26, Captain Symonds. The Euridice, 26, Captain Elliot, parted company on the same night as the Retribution, tor England. The Polyphemus steam sloop, Comman der Clearty, parted company on the same day for Tangiers; and the Rattler steam sloop, Captain Smith, for Gibraltar; the latter, on the day previous, having lost her fore and maintop mast in a heavy squall. The admiral seems to have given the superiority to the sur veyor's liners in all weathers. The Rattler among the steamers beat every thing; the Terrible was the next in his estimation, and the Retribution next. _ The Retribution sailed from Cork on the 31st of July, in the evening, at eight o'clock, and arrived at Gibraltar on the 6th of August, at six P.M. (Terrible in company the whole time); she sailed again from Gibraltar on the 9th of August, and arrived at Corfu on the evening of the 16th ; left Corfu with the right wing of the Rifle Brigade, on the 21st of August, and took the route by the Straits of Messina, arriving at Gibraltar on the even ing of the 27th. On the 28th the Fairlie and Equestrian transports arrived, and on the 29th left Gibraltar with the Rifle Brigade for the Cape. The Retribution left Gibraltar on the 4th inst., and on the evening of the sth observed Sir W. Parker, with his squadron, standing in to Lagos Bay, where she joined company. All the ships were then present except the Trafalgar and Ca nopus, which latter was at Lisbon. The Trafalgar re joined the fleet that same night, about twelve o'clock. The squadron sailed from Lagos Bay on the Bth inst., after having completed water with great expedition, much to the satisfaction of the Admiral, and arrived at Cadiz on the afternoon of the 11th of September. The steamers, except the Rattler, were rather behindhand in getting into the anchorage at Cadiz, particularly the Retribution, which vessel had her floats on and did not anchor before nine that night, owing to strong adverse winds (all the steamers the whole time above detailed being under sail alone). The Terrible carried away her maintopmast in going in, owing to the bad way in which the topmast rigging is fitted, having so little spread for their lofty masts. This is a defect which all the steamers have to contend with. The squadron again sailed from Cadiz on the 17th inst. This time the steamers had all their floats off, and were well able to keep company with the squadron. It must, however, be said that the squadron were never under a very heavy press of canvas, except in light winds, and almost always close hauled. From the 17th to the 22d inst. the squadron were performing various evolutions (about 20 miles to the southward of Cape Spartell), consisting of " forming lines of bearing," " columns," and " line of battle," which were well performed. It e lvaa sel c dorp,,after long nights, that any ships of the squadron were found out of their stations, and those but very little who were so. The Retribution left the fleet about 40 miles due west of Cape Spartel, on the evening of the 22d inst. (Tues day), bringing dispatches from the Admiral, and arrived at Spithead, as above detailed, having been under steam and sail the wl.ole way, with fine weather. Tho St. Vincent, Queen, and Eurydice may be ex pected shortly, the latter having left the same night as the Retribution; the Queen and the St. Vincent five days previous. Both the Retribution and Eurydice supplied the Van guard with all the provisions they could spare (at sea) before leaving. The Eurydice had beaten the Spartan (her competitor), both on and before the wind in all the trials they had had, and it is said the Eurydice carried the "ct ck" at her masthead. With regard to the Terrible, she is reported to be the finest of all the steamers except the Rattler, but might be much improved, especially with regard to her rigging. The crossjack and mizentopsail-yard do not appear to have found favour in the eyes of Sir W. Parker, inas much as she was required one day during trial to set those sails, and she signalled " have none," clearly prov ing she only crossed those yards for show (which our readers will remember we hinted at, in drawing a com parison between her and the Retribution, whilst both were in this harbour prior to the sailing of the squadron for Spithead), and which were spare yards belonging to her fore and main masts. On the evening, of the Retribution leaving, it was un derstood the Admiral would put his helm up for Tangiers; the same morning, however, the Phoenix arrived with important dispatches from the British Minister at Ma drid for the Admiral, which would perhaps alter the position of the fleet. It was at the same time reported that the Terrible was ordered to proceed to Malta to bring to the fleet as much provision as she could carry. The Retribution was inspected by Sir W. Parker, at Cadiz, who expressed himself much pleased with her efficiency and qualifications. Before she left Corfu her port main crank was cracked, and found defective, and condemned as unserviceable at Lagos Bay, after a strict survey, and her machinery being too powerful, she works much, and cannot stand up under her canvas as a vessel of such immense tonnage ought to do, but this matter is perhaps better explained in the following extract of a private letter from a scientific officer of much expe rience:— " However much the opinions of nautical men may have differed in regard to the Terrible and the Retribu tion steam frigates, there cannot now, I presume, be two opinions upon their respective merits. That either of them answer perfectly as frigates is very doubtful; that either of them are worth the large sums of money which have been expended upon them, is equally doubt ful; and that the latter vessel is the greater failure of the two there can be no doubt whatever. On the Ist of August both vessels started from Cork together for Corfu, and, generally speaking, the Terrible was en abled, from the great power of steam, to proceed nearly as fast with two boilers as the Retribution could with three. When the latter became very light she certainly got on better; the consequence of this was, that the Terrible burned much less coal on her voyage than her companion. With regard to the stowage of troops, the Retribution had the best of it, owing to her having a lower and flying' deck, the latter stowing the whole of the baggage, whilst the Terrible had to carry much on deck, thereby cumbering her guns, &c. This, in deed, is the great fault of that ship (the Terrible), owing to the manner in which her constructor has placed her boilers, viz., in line, extending over two-thirds of the main deck; the consequence is, that though upwards of 200 tons larger than the Retribution, she has, in reality, a shorter main deck. In point of sailing, how ever, she certainly in a breeze has a great advantage, being enabled to stand up under her canvas, whilst the Retribution is buried, heeling over in a royal breeze 10 and 11 degrees. In fact, the crankness of the latter ship was the astonishment of the whole fleet, and well it might, for when at anchor she never has a list either to port or starboard (according to the anchor down) of less than four, and sometimes five degrees ; and this I fully believe to be the sole cause of the Retribution's being now sent home disabled, for what machinery could stand being eternally laying over on its side ? Moreover, the ship is not s t rong enoug h for the heavy (800) horse power machinery, even if she did stand upright. * " The Eurydice beat the Spartan both off and on the wind ; Captain Elliot, however, has declared his inten tion of leaving her. " The Vanguard beat the Superb and the rest on a wind. " The St. Vincent, Queen, and Eurydice are on their way ; the first and last to Spithead, the Queen to De vonport. " The Admiral is gone to Tetuan ; the Terrible to Malta for provisions." The Favourite, 18, Commander Murray, was at Sierra Leone on the Ist of August. The Spanish felucca, name unknown, driven ashore by her Majesty's ship Flying Fish, off Elmina Chika, on the 17th of April, lost, by capsizing in the surf, and drowned, H. J. Robins, senior Lieutenant of the Flying Fish, and four seamen. It was a new vessel and direct from Barcelona ; her main yard was upards of 120 feet in length, and she was capable of carrying between 300 and 400 slaves. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 28.—The Grappler steamsvesscl has been commissioned at Woolwich by Lieutenant H. S. Hawker, who will command her, and she is taking on board stores for service. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master Commander S. B. Cook, is under orders to proceed to Rotterdam on the Ist of October, with her Royal Highness the Princess of Prussia. It is expected that another Royal Princess will return in the Black Eagle, on a visit to this country. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander Petty, when passing through the Downs, made inquiries of the various Government vessels she met in her course if they had seen the Kestrel yacht, having been ordered to Portsmouth to meet that vessel and tow her, with the remains of the late Earl of Yariborough, to Grimsby, for interment in the family vault. In one of my former communications I stated that Captain Johnson, when adjusting the compasses of her Majesty's vessels at Greenhithe, had been under the ne cessity of framing tables for iron vessels to steer by, varying from those constructed of wood to a full point of the compass, and that in some instances the variation was so great, that a vessel steering due north would have her compass pointing west. It is more than probable it is owing to the Great Britain being constructed of iron, and the possibility of alterations being made in her with out again adjusting her compasses, that she ran aground on the coast of Ireland. The Plover surveying -vessel, Captain Collinson, C. 8., arrived at Woolwich yesterday from China, and is to be paid off here. The men commenced taking down her rigging to-day. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having given Mr. Haig the use of the Ariel steam-vessel, formerly one of the Dover packets; she has been fitted with his smoke-consuming apparatus, and went down the river to-day to ascertain its operation and capabilities of generating sufficient steam for the service of the engines. Mr. Haig's invention re quires no steam funnel, and the principle of its construc tion appears admirably adapted for the consumption of smoke. Lieutenant Vansittart, of the Gladiator, and Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer at Woolwich dockyard, went on board shortly before twelve o'clock, and the furnaces having been previously ignited the steam was got up, which is effected by five or six men turning a winch attached to wheels and pinions causing the rapid revolu tion of a fanner, across which the smoke endeavours to escape on its emerging from the furnace; but instead of escaping into the atmosphere, it is mixed with pure air and forced below the furnaces to nearly the front, where it is conducted by tubes, and, ascending through the bars into the fire, is partly consumed, and any portion that escapes is again arrested in its progress to the at mosphere by the fanners, and passed through the fur naces until every portion is consumed. On the Ariel leaving her moorings an endless belt was made to give the motion to the fanners, and they revolved with great velocity, causing a bright clear fire in each of the four furnaces, and generating, although in old and incrusted boilers, a sufficient quantity of steam for working the engines. The vessel proceeded down the river beyond Erith, and made several turns with and against the tide, without any smoke appearing to emanate from the works. The inventor laboured under considerable disadvantages during the trial, in consequence of the leather strap becom ing loose several times. A similar disadvantage occurred the first time the screw-propeller was tried in the Rattler steam-vessel, but the difficulty was easily over come by the introduction of cog-wheels, and the screw propeller now bids fair to supersede paddle-wheels for propelling steam-vessels. The application of cog-wheels to Mr. Haig's invention would give any degree of power, and prove regular in their operation, and in large vessels propelled by the screw, or even in vessels of moderate size, the whole apparatus could be fitted between decks. The Arid returned to Woolwich at 5 o'clock, and during her progress appeared to surprise the passengers in the numerous river steamers who witnessed her going at full speed without a smoke funnel. ♦?POINTMENTS.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND. Sydney papers, received yesterday, furnish intelli gence to the end of April from New Zealand. The Lieutenant-Governor had not attacked the natives at Porirua, because it was doubtful whether the murderers of the Gillespies were harboured among them. A large military force was, however, stationed there, and the district was proclaimed as being under martial law, ex cluding the town of Wellington. The Karori settlers were afraid of an attack from the natives, but had been promised adequate protection. A military road was to be formed. A considerable number of the natives were still in rebellion, but they were not committing any acts of violence. A free pardon had been granted to Kumeti, who was convicted of participating in the robberies at the Hutt. The revenue of Wellington for the quarter ending March 31st, was 7,8851., and the expenditure, 6,8471. In New South Wales there had been most refreshing rains, after a long period of drought that had run up the prices of provisions, fodder, and fuel, to a very dear rate. Wheat bad been 6s. 6d. per bushel ; but was ss. 6d. to 6s. after the rain set in. The mercantile mar ket was good for imports generally, which continued to sell at remunerating rates, the supply being moderate, and as we hope, likely so to continue. The wool season was over, but there were still purchasers for any quan tity. The boiling down of cattle was about to com mence, and there is likely to be a further attempt to prepare soup fitted for English consumption. An ordi nance had just been passed for defraying the passage out of children belonging to immigrants who reached the colony prior to Jane 1842. A most determined gang of bushrangers, headed by one Wilson, had been cap tured after a desperate conflict with the mounted police, who appear to have acted admirably on the occasio*. There were several lives lost, and the leader of the gang was killed. The Crown Land Regulation Bill was to come before the Legislature in a day after our advices were dispatched, and caused some excitement at Sydney. From Port Philip the advices are extremely satisfac tory. They are dated to May 22. Business was brisk, and the markets were steady. Money was plentiful; great public improvements were being effected, and not a single case was before the Insolvent Court, while both the tailors and shoemakers were so well employed that they had all struck for higher wages. We have received files of the South Australian Register and Adelaide Observer down to the 9th of May. The following are interesting extracts DISCOVERY OF A GOLD MINE. The existence of the most precious of all the metals in this province has often been asserted in this journal, not only on the assurance of the scientific and disin terested Mr. Meng4, who has been thought to intend that his knowledge of the veins of auriferous bdolah should die with him, but from other talented information, as well as the known existence here of very remarkable facts in mineralogical analogy. But it was only seven days ago that surmise and hypothesis gave place to certainty, and the demonstrative fact that we may rank gold amongst our mineral riches—existing too, as re peated essays and analyses have subsequently shown, in a state of native purity unsurpassable, if not unequalled. To Captain Tyrrell, of the North Montacute mine, belongs the honour of this discovery, which was brought to light by him out of a shaft undertaken for the dis covery of copper ore under his directions, for "The Victoria Mining Company," in section No. 5,597, not far from the celebrated Montacute Copper Mine. The auriferous vein, which is described as " abouttwo inches big," is composed of a rich ochreous gossan, more or less intermingled with native gold, in various forms, and of the utmost imaginable purity, some speci mens having the appearance of what is called "dead gold," and many portions possessing a high degree of brilliancy. As may be supposed, this " crowning " discovery has been the engrossing topic of the week, and the di rectors of the Victoria Mining Company, as elsewhere named, after having instituted the necessary measures to protect the property, and " guard the approaches," seem to have betaken themselves to the study of that part of the royal statute entitled 5 William and Mary, c. 6, sec. 2, in respect of whick interpretations unfavour able to the undisturbed possession of this treasure by the associated proprietors have rather authoritatively gone forth. Shares in the mine have been greatly in request, and really as well as nominally at very high premium, but until the relative position of the proprietors with re spect to this newly-discovered as well as unexpected wealth is ascertained, no rational quotation for our min ing share market can be propounded. At all events our fellow-colonists now have some. thing more to contend for, and an increased value ought to attach to those privileges and exemptions which dis tinguished their royal charter of colonial initiation, and of which the British Minister of the day has endea voured to deprive us, by one of the grossest instances of political fraud and scandalous hypocritical contravention upon record.—Adelaide Observer. ADDITIONAL PACTS. We lately performed the pleasing duty of announcing the discovery of native gold, in a state of great purity, in the North Montacute Mine of the Victoria Mining Company. All the particulars we then stated are abun dantly confirmed; and one effect of the discovery has been to cause a very great rise in the disposable value of the shares in the association with which it is identified. There are some holders disinclined to sell at any price offered them ; but among those of " the bird-in-hand" gentlemen who have thought proper to realise, one has sold shares which cost him 601. at the handsome advance of nine hundred per cen;;., thus clearing a net sum of 5401. by the transfer. The ore, or rather the auriferous gossan brought into town, is undergoing the process of separation prepara tory to some further careful assays; but in the mean time Dr. Davy has made trials upon a more extended scale then heretofore, and obtained pure gold at the rate of 81oz. per cwt. of gossan. The precautionary measures at the mine are under stood to be nearly completed, and the authorised intelli- Bence relating to the prospective value of the mine is of the most favourable kind. The directors have thought proper to issue 100 new shares, at par, amongst the holders of the original 500 shares ; but this issue has bad no visible effect upon the market value. Notwithstanding the excitement produced by the gold mine, the Burra Burra mines and the Association's shares still maintain their high repute and upward ten dency, shares having been sold by private contract, as well as at public auction at 331. and upwards per share, being 560 per cent. or more advance upon the original cost.—lbid. Intelligence was received yesterday in Sydney from the Bellinger River, dated the 17th instant, stating that. Daniel Devlin, his wife, and Dennis Cleyne, all living on 'John Robertson's cedar cutting station, had been inhumanly murdered by the blacks. The same letter also states that a civilised black, who had been living for a considerable time with Commissioner Massey, has been decoyed away and murdered by the Maitland tribe on the M`Leay River. The white population of these districts are said to be out in pursuit of the savages. The particulars may be expected in Sydney in a few days. Mrs. Devlin has left a child nine months old. Her parents reside at the Fire Islands.—Sydney Morn ing Herald, March 30. A number of coolies were lately landed in Sydney, brought down from India in the Orwell, under indenture to Mr. Towns, Mr. Wentworth, and Mr. Campbell, of Bligh-street, as " menial servants." Some few of them suffered from the voyage, but the great majority appeared to be in good condition. Amongst them were some women and a number of piccaninies, who seemed healthy enough. They are to receive at the rate of five rupees per month, and a weekly ration of 71bs. rice, ltlbs. dholl, ilb. onions, Vb. salt, lelb. oil, and a suit of warm clothing each year. Besides this the parties to whom they are indented engaged to find a free passage to this colony, and to put on board for each of the coolies " a brass pot, a brass plate, blanket, cup, and dhooty, and jacket." Further, the parties to whom they are in dented, are bound to provide a return passage in five years from the date of their arrival. This importation of human flesh has excited a good deal of discussion by the colonial press, the indentures being looked upon as a mere evasion of the crime of slaving. NEW ZEALAND. HORRIBLE MURDERS ON THE HUTT. The town of Wellington was thrown into great ex citement, on Friday morning, by the report that Mr. Andrew Gillespie, an intelligent and industrious settler, together with one of his children, a promising youth of thirteen years of age, had been found dead—murdered —the preceding evening, near his house, on the banks of the river Hutt, between the bridge and the encamp ment. It appears that, towards dusk, one of the militia men, who was returning home from the bush, heard groans as if from some person in great agony, in the direction of Gillespie's house. On approaching the spot, he discovered to his horror and surprise the father and son, lying on the ground, brutally mutilated, and ap parently quite dead. He instantly gave the alarm, and a number of the settlers speedily arriving, the bodies were conveyed into the house. The lad merely uttered an exclamation of " my poor mother," and then expired. The father, though not quite dead, was• utterly in sensible to all around him. The father and son were discovered lying, one on each side of a tree which they were engaged in sawing, when struck down by the murderers. On examination, it became evident that all the wounds were inflicted with tomahawks, similar to those in use among the natives. The son, Andrew Gillespie, jun., had no less than 11 wounds, principally on the head. The father had seven wounds, most of which were also on the head. We forbear shocking the feelings of humanity by re lating the fiendish mangling of the bodies. Gillespie's tongue was not cut out as reported, but was contracted, owing to his severe sufferings. On Friday an inquest was held on the body of the son, before J. Fitzgerald, Esq., M.D., coroner, and a respect able jury of Hutt settlers. The evidence received merely related to the fact of finding the body, and to the number and description of the wounds, and the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or per sons unknown." SATURDAY, APRIL 4.—The Rauparaha sent in a letter, by Mr. W. C. Cowper, to the Rev. Mr. Hadfield, informing him that the murders had been committed by some natives from Porirua, and that if the Governor would mil five or six constables, he thought he should be able to deliver up one of the murderers. Acting on this letter, Ensigns Cervantes and Symonds, Mr. Fitzgerald, Mr. M'Donogh, and four constables, set out for Porirua. On arriving at Jackson's, they ap prehended two deserters of the 99th Regiment, who were staying there. The party stopped at Jackson's all night, and in the morning proceeded to Mr. Cowper's. An interview took place between Ensig n Cervantes and Rauparaha, who informed him t hat Rangihaeata would not give up the murderers without a struggle, and that he had espoused the cause of the Hutt intruders, heart and hand. SIINDAY.—A native arrived in town, bringing dis patches to the Governor, containing this intelligence. Orders were instantly issued for her Majesty's steamer Driver and her Majesty's ship Castor to prepare for sail ing, and 260 men of the 58th, 86th, and 99th regiments were conveyed on board. At half-past five o'clock in the morning, poor Gil lespie, after lingering for two days and three nights, ex pired. During the whole time no word escaped his lips, and he appeared perfectly unconscious. We trust he may have been unconscious both bodily as well as men tally. The body of the son was brought over from the Hutt, and placed in the Episcopalian church. MONDAY.—An inquest was held on the body of An drew Gillespie, before J. Fitzgerald, Esq., M.D., coroner, and another jury of settlers, empannelled for the occa sion. After receiving the evidence respecting the find ing of the body, &c., the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons un known." The foreman also gave the following letter : "I, on behalf of the jury assembled on the body of Andrew Gillespie, do hereby state that it is our opinion that every attention and possible eare was paid to the unfortunate deceased till the time of his death by Dr. Turnbull, M.D., of the River Hutt, and all other per sons about them. " On behalf of the jury, " April 6. " A. LUDLAM, Foreman. " To J. P. Fitzgerald, M.D., Coroner, Wellington." The body was brought over and placed in the church, there to remain till the funeral. At seven P.M. her Majesty's steamer Driver, six guns, C. 0. Hays, with his Excellency Captain Grey and suite on board, and a body of the military, departed for Porirua. Her Majesty's ship Castor was compelled to remain at anchor, owing to the unfavourable S.E. weather. Ensign Cervantes and party proceeded to Paramatta, the pah of Rauparaha, He delivered an address to his followers, of three hours' duration. About one o'clock the steamer hove in sight, and, on the anchor being dropped, Rauparaha went on board. He stated to Cap tain Grey his determination of taking part with the white men, and that if Rangihaeata would not give up the murderers, he would instantly go against him. Rauparaha also told his followers, that if they fought against the Europeans they would ultimately be entirely cut off. It is further stated, that from Wakanai to Manawatti the entire native population are prepared to join Rauparaha. Rangihaeata has left Taupo, and thrown himself into a fortification lately built by the Ngatirangatahi, about four miles from the Bay. We are informed that the position is admirably chosen for defence ; however, we think the tiger will soon be driven from his lair. His associates are murderers and robbers—determined and desperate men, and the sooner these hornets' nests are destroyed the better for Port Nicholson. The Wairau murderers—the Hutt robbers—and subsequent mur derers are amongst them. And Captain Grey, we trust, will hold no parley with these savages. Yesterday morning, her Majesty ship Castor, 86 guns, Captain Graham, got under weigh, and proceeded to Porirua. At one o'clock, the remains of the unfortunate Gil lespie and son were interred in the public cemetery. The Rev.:R. Cole performed the funeral service. About one hundred and fifty of the inhabitants paid their last tribute of respect by following the funeral. From what we can learn, it appears that a party:of natives came down on the Hutt from Porirua, bent on sacrificing any unfortunate white man they might come across. That three or four crossed the river, and per petrated the cruel deed we have above recorded, whilst the remainder covered the retreat of the murderers to the bush. Some blankets and a few trifling articles were taken from the house. The elder son of Gillespie had been sent down to the bridge on a message. Had he been present, there is every reason to believe that he would also have been sacrificed by the monsters. Gil lespie has left a widow and one son to lament his un timely end. We are also informed that the natives visited a dwelling-house lower down the river, but that, for tunately for the owners, they were absent at the time. The Government must now take energetic means to protect the out-settlers. Since the murder, a body of natives have been ob. served hovering about the Hutt. In consequence, we believe, orders have been issued to the troops stationed there, under command of Captain Armstrong of the 99th, to fire upon any armed body of natives who may make their appearance. Her Majesty's steamer Driver returned to port last night, and her Majesty's ship Castor this morning. Various rumours are afloat. We believe a combined movement will shortly be made against Rangihaeata.— W ellington Independent, April 8. 12s. dis.—Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston, 31.

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths 0 nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is net contended that every reader shall become his or her even physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that ice should knew the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several health/ states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race if mankind have to rely.
