At auction of 8,000 bags Mauritius only about three-fourths sold at barely previous rates. Or 11,000 bags Bengal at auction only part found buyers on rather easier terms, but 2,400 bags Madras realised former rates. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the Elst and West India Docks was 251 hhds 32 tierces 12 barrels ; there were taken for home consumption 1,182 hhds 110 tierces 450 barrels.

This was as action on a mortgage bond, to recover the sum of 1,0001., and it came before the Court on deuintrer. Mr. Baron PARKE delivered judgment this morning, and stated that the Court was of opinion that the plain. tiffs were entitled to recover against the railway com pany—Judgment for the plaintiffs. DICKENSON AND ANOTHER V. GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY. In this case, which was sent down by the Master of the Rolls for the opinion of this Court, the plaintiffs were paper manufacturers, occupying a mill at Hemel Hempstead, and they had instituted proceedings i❑ Chancery to try their right to the use of certain streams and rivulets which had been diverted by the defendants. The Master of the Rolls had asked six different ques tions, and on all of these the Court recorded its opinion in favour of the plaintiffs and against the company.— Judgment for the plaintiffs. DIIICHESON V. NICHOL. This action was tried before Mr. Baron Martin at the sittings in London after last term. Mr. BRADIWELL moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict, which was found for plaintiff for the sum of 2041. 145., should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. He moved on the ground of misdirection. The action was on a charter party, to recover 4001., being the amount of freight on a cargo of cotton. The defendant paid a portion of the claim into court, and as to residue denied his liability. The defendant chartered a vessel called the Lord Stanley, belonging to the plain tiff, for a voyage from Bombay to London. The freight for the cargo was to be at the rate of 31. 10s. per ton. When the vessel reached Bombay, all the parts of it which were usually allotted to goods were loaded with the cotton, but there was a capacious cabin, and as there were no passengers to occupy it, the master went to Messrs. Wright and Smith, the defendant's agents at Bombay, and offered to stow away an additional cargo in the cabin. They accepted this offer, and a further quantity was sent on board, and the vessel de parted for London. The current charge per ton for goods between India and England was at that time 71. 10s.; and on the vessel reaching its destination, the plaintiff claimed that sum for that portion of the cargo which was placed in the cabin. At the trial Mr. Baron Martin told the jury that this additional cargo was not included in the charter-party, and that they ought to find what was the current charge for freight for the convey ance of goods from Bombay to London, that being the amount to which the plaintiff was entitled. Mr. Bram well contended that this was a misdirection, and that the defendant was not justified in charging more than agreed upon in the charter-party. The COURT granted a rule. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Patrick Sl a t er , 15, and Catherine Slater, his mother, tern indicted, th e b oy f or stea li ng , an d t h e f e male pri soner for receiving, several handkerchiefs and other ar ticles out of ro oms i n t h e b arrac k s at K n i g h ts b ri dge. It appeared that the woman has for a long time kept a stall for the sale of fruit in the neighbourhood of the barracks, and in the dealings of the Guardsmen with her for fruit she and the boy had occasional ac ee,e_sB to the bar rac k- rooms , an d t h us effected the robb er i es charged. In the evidence for the prosecution, it was stated that suspicion had for some time attached to the prisoners, as a great num ber of articles, some of which (such as a gold watch, !Igo.) were of great value, had been stolen from the mem b..ers of the regiment. The case was clearly proved on the present indictment, and the prisoners were found guilty. Evidence was given that the boy had before been convicted of felony. The ASSISTANT JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that on this occasion he would not inflict any more severe ltini!hrpent on the b oy i n consequence o f hi s prev i ous aconviction, as he had no doubt that the mother was alone to b lame fur h er son ' s ev il course o f l i fe at so early an ;ge• It was evid ent t h a t s h e tra i ne d h i m to be a thief or her o wn gains, although it had been preyed that she Wie. making a good living. He sentenced her to be im risoned eighteen calendar months and kept to hard la- Put', and he declared that he would certainly have ktransported her but for her very aged app earance. The u°3' Was sentenced to imprisonment for six months. --- THE CITY RAILWAY TERMINUS. We understand that the report of the committee ap pointed by the Common Council to inquire into the p r acticability, and the probable expenses of Mr. Charles Pearson's plan for a general railway terminus in Farringdon-street, was completed yesterday, and will be laid before the meeting of the Council on Thursday. Although the committee consists of 34 or 35 members, there are only, we understand, three dissentients. All the rest recommend the adop tion of the plan in the strongest possible terms. The three gentlemen who have acquired distinc tion in the committee, by their opposition to the scheme, are Mr. Alderman Sidney, Mr. Alderman Cubitt, the builder, and a Mr. Lott, Oce of these gen tlemen grounds his opposition to the project, on the belief that it will tither be impracticable or unsightly; a second is hostile, because of the great expense which will be required to carry it out; and the third, we be lieve, hardly knows why he objects. But he knows he does object, on the same good old principle, we supp ose , embodied in the well-known doggrel lines:— " I do not like thee, Dr. Fell, The reason why I cannot tell; But this I know full well, I do not like thee, Dr. Fell !" With a majority of about thirty to three, we need hardly say that there is a moral certainty of the scheme being carried out.-111orning Advertiser. Between the modern Greek character and the modern Irish there is a strange affinity—there is the same quickness, th e same l ev i ty, the same laxity of princ i p l e an d assertion, the same cunning simplicity, or simple cunning, and, of late years, the same insane idea of throwing away that British connexion which alone keeps their hands off one another's throats, and themselves from relapsing into ferocious barbarians, We may almost judge what a native Parliament sitting in College -green would be, from the pro ceedings of the native Parliament popularly elected in the lonian Islands —though th e Irish Parliament might be for tunate enough to have its mischief neutralised by its heredi tary House of Peers, which the lonian does not possess, its Upper Chamber being elected out of the Lower, and forming a species of executive as well as legislative body , in which it is perfectly possible that the Lord nigh Commissioner may find his most inveterate opponent a member of his own together with his most faithful supporter, Government, The petty reduction of the. salaries of faithful supporter, officials, and the spiteful persecution of the friends of that British reap such benefit is the parallel connexion,fetan .which they to the dismal howl recently set up upon the appointment of an Englishman to the office of secretary to the Catholic De fence Association. There is a similarity in their rebellions --the one haVing been pUt down by a handfull of police, th e other by a serg ea nt a nd t we lve men. The l onians certainly beat th e I r i s h i n bl asp h emy. Th e w ildest ravi n gso the most maniacal of th e Y oung I re landers never reached the sublimity of scurrillity that the lonians did, when they re presented th e Q ueen of these islands as t h e Father of all Evil, tempti ng Greece to fall down and worship her and re ceiving the rebut, " Get the behind me, Satan." Alas for o. the region o f h omer and Socrates—for the successors Well Alexander and A r i s totle —how are the mighty fallen! might Byron write : " All, save the spirit of man,' is divine." however, if in advance of the Celt, who has a strong and sincere, though, we think, mistaken religious feeling in out raging all religion and decency, the Greek is in no respect behind him in the howl for repeal. The Rizopasta , , or Radi cals, who are avowed Socialists, and, we may presume, from what we have just described, infidels, take great pride in nicknaming themselves ".the Mountain," and in discovering Or inventing likenesses to Marat, Robespierre, &c., in mem bers of their own body.

AUNT EFFIE'S RHYMES FOR LITTLE CHILDREN. Illustrated by Hablot K. Browne. KINDNESS AND CRUELTY. Addey and Co. Looking at the heap of brightly-bound and beau tifully-illustrated books now lying on our table we can well understand how many a group of " toddli n wee things" in the nursery, and many a band of youngsters " home for the holidays," will be glad dened by a share of these literary and pictorial treasures so appropriately brought forward by Messrs. Addey at this season. All ages and tastes may be satisfied from this variety — from the infant lover of a 66 picture-book" to the learned Miss in her teens! Foremost of the list we must particularise the new edition of Hans Christian Andersen's delightful fairy legands and tales, and this is, moreover, the " com plete" edition, for whereas the former volume con tained only fourteen tales, the present one contains no less than forty-five. Among these we gladly recognise that beautiful allegory so oddly named " The Ugly Duckling," which some time back was quoted entire in Blackwood's Magazine, as a specimen, and a most felicitous specimen, of the narratives of this charming writer. Nut the least attractive of the articles of this attractive volume is the memoir of the author—the son of a shoemaker, destined by his parents to gain his livelihood as a tailor, but now the possessor of no mean celebrity, and not only admired, but loved wherever his gentle heart and genial natur e a r e appreciated. Turning from our old Danish favourite, we take up (in a covering of pale violet, lettered with gold) the seventeen drawings by E. V. 8., illustrative of ‘` Childs' Play." "Deep meaning lieth oft in childish play," says a quotation from Schiller on the title-page, and many a hidden lesson may be gathered from those nursery rhymes, which are entwined with " the pleasures of memory" to most of us. E. V. B. has illustrated many of these old ditties with a grace ful pencil. Nothing can be more charming than the frontispiece, which represents groups of happy, lovely children at play. Perhaps there is too much re semblance between the childish countenances—like the guardian angels of Sir Joshua Reynolds, they appear all suggested by one model, but it may be the little groups are supposed to consist of brothers and sisters, and hence our cri ticism is uncalled for. Very beautiful is the illuss tration of " Twinkle, twinkle, little star," and also of the happy party " picking up gold and silver" in that California of childhood, " Tom Tittler's ground." Two or three of the plates are not so delicately finished as the rest, but on the whole " . Child's Play" is likely to afford child's pleasure, and, perhaps, child's profit also. " Home and its Pleasures," and the " Little Sister," are delightful children's stories, from the pen of Mrs. Myrtle. " Home and its Plea sures" contains eight very interesting stories, such as " The Holiday," " The Mail Train," " Work and Play," Stc. and it is adorned with eight coloured pictures, by Hablot K. Browne. To a number of little readers this volume will be the most attractive of the above-mentioned list, or possibly it may be rivalled by " The Little Sister," which consists not of a series of stories, but of one longer tale, the history of a little family—their joys and sorrows, faults and good deeds ; as no lessons are so instructive as those of example, we doubt not the career of the little sister and her brothers will be a profitable as well as an amusing study. Sixteen beautiful illustrations by Schneider increase the value of the book, which, like its companions, is most handsome in its appearance. "New Tales from Faery Land" are suited to those elder readers above men tioned, whose dignity would he hurt by the offer of a child's book. To these the tales of this volume— " The Pearl Blessings"—" The Triumph of Truth" —" The Brothers," and " Christabel ; or, Night Wandering s w ith the Fairies," will be highly welcome. These stories are beautifully written, and possess the same fascinating interest, and teach the same good lesson as those old fairy tales so long and so generally " beloved as fable and believed as truth." " Kindness and Cruelty" is an excellent little tale, well deserving of an entrance into every nursery. Cowper would not enter OR his list of friends the man who needlessly set foot upon a worm, and he was right. Cruelty of disposition in a child augurs little for the good heart of the man or woman it is hereafter to become. The lesson taught by the ad ventures of Edward and Stephen, the heroes of this tale, is worthy of perusal, as may be sur mised, when we mention that its author, Dr. Perner, is the founder of the Munich So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Last, but not least, we must notice " Aunt Effie's Rhymes for Little Children." in illustrating which the graceful pencil of Hablot K. Browne has indulged in some of its most graceful and grotesque vagaries ; as an instance of, which, we would fain extract a page of " The Little Hare," in which the various incidents' and mishaps of a hunt are portrayed in the most felicitous manner. Again, the " Spirit of the Wine"—that mischievous sprite " that made the bubbles shine, and splashed about within the cup amidst the rosy wine '—is pictured as the most mali cious of the evil genii, racking the poor drinker's head with horrible pains and stealing his wits away-- the picture is enough to give any one the headache. Who Aunt Effie may be we know not, for no other name is given, but her rhymes for little children will be favourites in many nurseries. They are all pleasing in style, and thei lessons they teach are suggested in a most felicitous manner. ADELPHI THEATRE. The Yankee Adler, brought out at the Strand Theatre a few years ago, for the American actor Hill, and su bsequently for arble, was revived last night for Mr. Joseph Silsbee, who played Hiram Dodge, in his own dry and peculiar manner. The Americanisms in which the piece abounds were received with roars of laughter ; and the sharp " down-easter," who profits so handsomely by his " tarnation 'cuteness," promised a repetition of the performance amid un mistakeable satisfaction. Mr. Silsbee has evidently taken a thorough hold of the Adolphi auditory. MARIONET T_E THEATRE. The Adelaide Gallery, converted for the occasion into a beautiful theatre, was thronged last night by a brilliant audience, ho testified by continuous ap plause and laughter their appreciation of the clever performances of the " Marionettes" on their first public appearance. The programme consisted of The _lla ?lager's Room and Bombastes Furioso, played with great discretion and energy, especially on the part of Distaffina ; and a grand nautical ballet, entitled Pauline. Unbounded approbation was bestowed in the latter on a pas de deux, developing some.pirouettes, which we defy Cerite to accomplish, and a hornpipe brilliantly danced a la Flexmore. Between the interlude and ballet the National Anthem was sung by " the full strength of the com pany.' The illusion produced,' by the constel lation of those estimable personages engaged in this loyal operation was complete, and the effect irresisti ble. Without for a moment desiring to abet filial in subordination, we counsel the juvenile members of metropolitan households to in sist on a visit to the Adelaide Gallery, even though i t be at the expense of a general anti-parental strike. The senior s will, how ever, find no reason to repent their personal attend ance, for there is ample amusement fort;ci find l chnilddrneon food f od a larger growth."

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY.—A public) meeting, nume rously- and respectably attended, was held to-day at noon in the Guildhall of this town, for the purpose of corn general subscription, and to t a k e suc h s teps com mencing g a be deemed best for the relief of the suff.ners, widows, and orplims of those lost by the distressing con flagration of the steam-ship Amazon. Mr. R. Andrews (the Mayor) took the chair on the occasion, this being the first public meeting over which he has presided since a long and painful indisposition. Ho was supported by Mr. Sheriff Blatch, Aldermen Lan kester, Laishley, Palk, and Bienvenue, by a number of the members of the Council, and by many of the influ ential and wealthy inhabitants of Southampton. The proceedings excited considerable interest. Mr. Vincent, the midshipman of the Amazon; Mr. Williamson, the chief steward; and several of the crew were present. Mr. Vincent met with a most enthusiatic greeting, and the others wore most warmly received by the assemblage. After the Mayor had explained the objects of the meeting, in a speech which was greatly applauded, and which referred to the calamity which has caused such widespread sorrow and misery, the following letter from the Hon. Colonel Phipps was road to the meeting by the Town Clerk. It served as a reply to a communication addressed by the Mayor soliciting a subscription from her Majesty : " Windsor Castle, Jan. 10, 1852. " Dear Sir,—Before receiving your letter of yester day's date, I had been commanded by her Majesty the Queen to make inquiries with respect to any ussistance that it was proposed to extend to the unfortunate widows and orphans of the sufferers in the late most awful de struction of the Amsz.m. " I have this morning had the honour to submit your letter to the Queen and the Prince, and I have received the commands of her Dlnjesty and his Royal Highness to acquaint you that, in the event of a public subscrip tion being opened for the relief of the families reduced to distress by this fearful calamity, you aro authorized to announce a subscription of 150/. upon the part of her Majesty and his Royal Highness. "Any information that you can give me as to the po sition in life and particular circumstances of any of those who have unfortunately perished I shall be obliged to you if you will communicate. " Can you tell me anything of Mr. Vincent, whose conduct has been so highly spoken of? "Believe me, dear Sir, yours truly, " C. B. Pinrrs. " R. Andrews, Esq., Mayor of Southampton." The reading of this letter was received with loud ex pressions of applause. The subjoined, horn her Majesty's Attorney•Gcncral, was also read at the meeting:— " London, Jan. 10, 1852. " My dear Mr. Mayor,—l regret very much that owing to Monday next being the first day of term, I am unable to take part in the meeting which is to take place on Monday for the benefit of the widows and children of the sufferers of the ill-fated Amazon. " I beg to enclose you 10 guineas as my subscription to the fund now being raised on their behalf.—l remain yours faithfully, "R. Andrews, Esq., Mayor." "A. E. COCKBURN. The following has been received by the Mayor from Captain C. E. Mangles, a managing director of the Royal Mail Steam- packet Company : _ _ _ Dolphin Hotel, Southampton, Jan. 9. " My dear you oblige me by placing my namo on the list of subscribers to the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the loss of the Amazon for 101. 108.? " It is the intention of the West India Mail Company to give 100 guineas to the same fund, of which, without doubt, you will receive official intimation. " The deputy-chairman of the company, Thomas Baring, Esq., M,P., has also requested me to undertake the pleasing duty of communicating to you his intention of subscribing 100 guineas towards the relief of the sufferers by the loss of the Amazon. " Will you, therefore, be good enough to insert his name and his liberal donation at your meeting on Mon. day ?—Believe me to remain very truly yours, " Cum:l.Es E. MANCLES. " R. Andrews, Esq." The following letter, from Mr. B. M. Willcox, M.P., n managing director of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, was also made public:— " Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's Offices, London, Jan. 9. "My dear Sir,—lt having been represented to the board that a public subscription is proposed to be opened at Southampton for the relief of the sufferers resulting from the distressing loss of the Amazon, I am authorized to acquaint you that you will receive from the secretary of this company an official communication, intimating their willingness to subscribe 1001. to the proposed fund. " Very truly yours, " B. M. Wirzco.x. " To Richard Andrews, Esq., Mayor of Southampton." A letter was likewise read from Mr. Henry Livius, Chaplain of the Orphan Asylum of Bristol, placing at the disposal of the Mayor an admission into tho asylum, vacant next quarter day, for one of the orphans left by the Amazon. A letter was also received from the Com mittee of the Southampton Orphan Asylum, offering to receive into that institution six children, of not less than nine years of age, upon the nomination of the Committee of the Amazon Subscription Fund for the sum of 20/. each per annum, and 2/. entrance fee, the stipulated pay ment being 301. each per annum.

Besides the above a great many additional subscrip tions were announced at the close of the meeting, some of greater, and others of less amount, but in the aggre gate reaching a considerable sum. The amount re ceived up to this evening is above 1,000 guineas, and it is hoped that at least 10,000/. will be collected altogether, as anything greatly short of that sum would bo insuffi cient to fully carry out the application of effectual and lasting relief to the numerous widows and orphans created by this lamentable calamity. The Rev. Mr. FANSHAW moved the first resolution, which was seconded by the Rev. THoatts ADKINS:- " That this meeting, under a deep sense of the mys terious dispensation of Almighty God, by which so many immortal beings have been suddenly cut off, de sires to express its Christian sympathies with the nu merous relatives of those who have perished in the late disastrous loss of the Amazon, together with their sincere desire to alleviate their sufferings, and at the same time to unite with tho survivors in a strong feeling of thankfulness for their merciful and wonder ful preservation." The second resolution was moved by 1)r. BIILLAR, and seconded by the Rev. Mr. RUSSELL. It is to this effect:- " That in order to mitigate the sufferings which the loss of the Amazon has brought upon so many families, the example so nobly set forth by her Most Gracious Majesty and her Royal Consort be followed by this meeting in now entering upon a subscription fur their benefit, with every hope that it will be further adopted by the country at large, especially being encouraged by the generous manner in which the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company., their chairman and directors, together with the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and many other influential and benevolent institutions and indivi duals, have responded to the call." The Rev. JOHN GRANE moved the third resolution, which was supported by Mr. GEORGE ATHERLEY:- . " That a committee be formed to carry out the ob . . _ jects of this meeting." Dr. DREW proposed the fourth resolution, which was seconded by the Rev. Mr. GRAY, and curried with three cheers for Mr. Vincent, and with three cheers for the °tilt r survivors:— " That this meeting desires to express its sym pathy with the survivors from the wreck of the Royal Mail steam-ship Amazon, and their approbation of the conduct of the surviving members of the crew, especially of Mr. Vincent; they admire the coolness and judgment displayed after leaving the burning vessel, and they pray that the best blessings from the Almighty may rest upon him, and that his future life may bo pros perous; and they hope that as ho has begun, so may he continue a care er of honour and usefulness in the im portant service to which he is devoted." Mr. G. LAISHLEY proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor, with congratulations for his restoratian to health, which was seconded by Mr. G. BORRETT. The MAYOR having returned thanks, the proceedings terminated, having occupied several hours. A circular is to bo addressed to the mayors of every town iu the United 41 '10 9 n 1 , iwriling them to endea your to obtain subscriptions towards the objects of the committee. It is also proposed to seek the co-operation of the ministers of the Gospel throughout the country, with a view of sermons being preached and collections made in every church and chapel of the various cities and towns in every part of the kingdom. The following is a list of the committee:--The Mayor, the ministers of the various denominations, Colonel Short, Mr. Mesterman, Captain Mangles (directors of the Royal Mail Steam Company), Captain Barton, R.N. (the company's superintendent at Southampton), Mr. George Mills (engineer-in-chief of the company), Mr. J. T. Duffell, Sir A. Cockburn, Mr. Willcox, M.P., Messrs. A. Lamb, S. Payne, C. Davies, Weblin, Abra ham, Blotch, Barling, Harman, Borrett, Cheeseman, Stebbing. W. Randall, George Laishley, Anderson, H. Powell, R. H. Perki ns , J oseph Cl ar k, P a lk. Tucker, Stebbey, Candy, Levy, Deacon, Captain Engledue, Colonel Forbes, Admiral Ward, and other gentlemen. The committee is to eit daily at Guildhall, Mr. Charles E. Deacon, the town clerk, being appointed secretary. To that gentleman it is requested that all communica tions bo addressed. Mr. Glennie, one of the passengers saved by the Dutch galliot Gertruida, and brought into Brost, gives the fol lowing account of his share in tl:e appalling scene:— " I was the last person, I should think, to arrive on deck. At that time they were attempting to lower some of the starboard boats, and some of the larboard, I fancy, wore already in the water. I remained for some time looking round and seeing boats lowered from both sides iu the greatest confusion. Presently I heard the captain give an order to lower the larboard lifeboat, but the answer was, ' She is on fire.' On going to see whether this was the case, I found it was so. The captain then ordered the starboard lifeboat to be lowered. Again the answer was • She is on fire.' Just then I saw the only remaining boat,except the two lifeboats reported to be burning, being lowered, and, without waiting to ascer tain whether the second lifeboat was really on fire, I heaved a rope over and slid down by it, with the inten tion of dropping into this boat as she cleared away from the vessel. I did not succeed in this at tempt, and fell into the water. Happily the very next wave brought her within reach of my arm, and I got into her. As the steamer at this time was proceeding before the wind very rapidly, we were immediately swept b e hi n d . At th e ti me I slipped down the captain an d another man were at t h e wheel, and I saw Mr. W ar b urton, with whom I was acquainted, but whom I had not perceived before, com pletely dressed, and walking quickly towar d s t h e star board lifeboat. In two or thre e m i nutes f rom t h e t i me I leached the boat I again looked at the wreck. I saw the captain and man still at the wheel; and Mr. War burton had returned and was standing beside them. That was the last I saw of them. There were several other persons on deck at the same time, and I thought I descried one of the officers among them, judging from the gold lace on his cap. Just then, b e i ng o bli ge d t o make a breakwater of spars, in ord er t o preven t o ur being swamped, my attention era s turne d away f rom the wreck, and when I again saw it, which was perhaps in the course of something more than half an hour, there was nobody on deck, though two or three were on the bowsprit; and the fire seemed to have spread from stem to stere. The steamer at this time was moving broadside towards us, and must have been to windward, as the smoke came down upon us. We were at first apprehensive she would run us down, when suddenly she changed her course again, and we got clear of her. We then began to pull, and soon lost sight of her bull, and were only able to distinguish her posi tion by the strong light above and around her. About three hours afterwards she blew up. From my own ob servation, and from information I collected from those who effected their escape in the same boat with myself, it appears beyond a doubt that, besides the three boats already saved, three others got well off from the vessel. Their several crews would probably act as we did, viz., ran belore the wind; but perhaps they would not observe that at about three o'clock in the morning the wind got round to the north. In this case the said t b o oa th ts e , reouontnhinwgatadl,waanyds, if not picked up by s ome vessel,b e f o re the wind, w ou ld b e d r i ven would in all probability make the north coast of Spain. o It also app eare d t o me that the captain and oth e r s loft deck w ere co ll ect i n g materials for making a raft, or had devised some plan for their escape, should the star board lifeboat not be available; and, with this object in view, I myself had assisted in removing some of the set tees aft." There are a var i e ty o f rumours in Southampton about Captain Symons's unwillingness to go to sea in the Ama zon. It i s an undoubted fact that he would much rather theha tt ves m ta a y z e om d at Thohmisedethsiarne he expressed while dining atave taken the comm an d o f the R oya l G eorge the day b e f o re he sailed. A f rien d likewise wishing him good bye in Sout hampton Water a few m i nutes b efore he sa iled said jocosely, " Good bye, Captain Sy mo ns, of the Amazon." He replied sharply,i No, I will not have t ;I am Captain of the Ori noco " ( one o f t h e l ar ge steamers not yet com pleted). When Captain Symons took leave of the pilot " at the Needles he was d e p r essed in spirits. He shook hands with the pil o t, an d s aid, " Well, God bless you, you have done y our d ut y ; the responsibility now rests on me." Th e t rut h was , C a pt. Symons did net like the Amazon b ecause i t was not his ship,. and all sailors are fanciful and su p erst iti ou s ; but it is a libel on the humanity and manlin ess of a truly brave, kind-hearted. and honourable ma n t o su pp o se that he had any doubts as to the s a f e ty o f the shi p. In fact, there is not the slightest foundation for thinking so. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. --- Sir,—Deploring as I do, in common with tho popula tion of the whole kingdom, the dreadful fate of the pas sengers and crew of the unfortunate steam-packet Amszon, and desirous that the public shall be enabled to form a correct opinion of the means whereby to avert a similar calamity, I feel it a duty to give, by your favour, the widest circulation to the following truths, in regard to which I challenge the most strict investigation. It is a startling fact, respecting the steam department of the naval service, that vague theories have been con fidently adopted without trial, while the most successful proofs have been rejected from crude theory—leading not only to the misapplication of millions sterling, but attended with the far greater evil of accumulating non effective ships of war, whose engines exceed the evapo rating power of their boilers by full 25 per cent., unless indeed, the fires aro urged by nearly a double amount of fuel, as compared with economical practice. Doubtless the steam-packet Amazon was no exception to this mode of equipment (the packets being under the same superintendence); consequently, the engineers and s tokers of this no w untr i ed vessel, zealous in the i r d u ty, used their best endeavo urs to effect a super i or passage. I am confident in this o pi n i on, from the calamity h a ving occurred shortly aft er t h e watch was relieved, prev i ou s to which it is the notorio us pract i ce of sto k e rs to make and leave a good fire for th e i r successors, b y m ost waste fully throwing as much fuel into the furnaces as they can hold. ^ T The inevitable result of such an injudicious proceed ing is, that the limited surface for the absorption of heat is insufficient to prevent a large amount of dime from arriving at the chimne y, w hi ch becomes re dhot, and, t h oug h cased, radiates a b undant heat to evolve res i nous g as from new pine plank s , the vapours of which may speedily ignite. Overwhelmed as the Admiralty Board is, not only by the official duties of that once most important office, but the Transport Board, the Sick and Hurt Board, the by the accession, in detail Victualling Board, the Post-office establishment, the dockyard*, and the minute details appertaining to foreign Members of Parliament, commands,latsiti,ethaopupgohinntlolt:eal;:a.st, their duties as indi vidual the fo p r r m om er ot N io a a y s y - o o ffi a Navy-office, which I by no means prospectively envy during the approaching session,— see i n g this conglomeration of incompatibilities, I EOl is it reaocable to blame the Admiralty for mismanage these, merit to any extent in any department?

TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY l3, 1852, i SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS• FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. DAILY NE W S.—lt is now understoodWatlord John Russell will open the Parliament without enlisting the Peelites in his ranks. He is—it is said—to make his explanation on reform, and then to appeal to the country. Let him well consider his position meanwhile. A close parish is a fraud upon the neighbourhood; a close bo rough is a fraud upon the county in which it lies; but a close Cabinet is the greatest fraud of all, inasmuch as it not only engrosses every perquisite and privilege of state, but usurps the right to express the will and to wield the power of the nation. We are told upon unerring autho rity that it is a blessed thing to see " brothers who dwell together in unity;" but nothing is said about brothers in-law; and as for cousins or more indirect connexions there is not ono word mentioned concerning them. Lord John is too wall read in divinity to strain the meaning of a text; but it might be perhaps as well for his reputa tion for worldly wisdom if he would try to stretch his po litical confidence bryond the decrees of consanguinizy. His own position in this respect is indeed peculiar, for he has only one of his immediate relations in the Cabinet—a somewhat remarkable, and to uncandid ob servers, a quite unaccountable circumstance. Wo read the fact, however, of Lord Illinto's appointment as Lord Privy seal, and his continuance in that capacity, in another light. The thing has an esoteric meaning, and ought, perhaps, to be judged of in that sense. Lord John has too much shrewdness and too much of what Bentham loved to call " enlightened selfishness," to stow his ship with lua her of his own. A good deal belonging to other people h might and actually did take on board; constantlycaptain but that was obviously a sacrifice made to humour th em —part of the bargain made with the lieutenants, or a o p e e c r u q r u . isi ß te u e t z w ac h t o ed ev b e y r. thheeamrdateo.f an S xpucehtheriniegnace d h wea s th a e t r ar w a i l th a a ffe li c e t l i p o l n ess father in-law t f o o r sea COI: ()Xi the thought, and the Prime Minister, whatever be his other faults, has never been accused of being deficient in humanity. After much reflection, we have come to the conclusion that the circumstance is to be accounted for in a way not generally thought of, that its conti nuance is attributable to similar considerations, and that the sequel will convince the world that from first to last it is only to be ascribed to a lofty disinterestedness. When Lord John found in the original formation of his Cabinet, in 1845, that one after another two-thirds of the great offices of state had been appropriated by the fortu nate family, ho resolved to fill up what were left forth with with persons whom he knew that he could do what he liked with, and who he knew would readily make room for competent successors as soon as he desired it. He know full well that nothing but "adverse possession," as the lawyers term it, would save the Privy Seal or the Admiralty, or even the Foreign Department itself, from the insatiable connexion; and he hastened accord ingly to pre- oecupy those posts with individuals outside the privileged degrees. Mark how the event has justified his foresight in two instances already out of the three. No sooner did Lord Auckland pay the debt of nature, than the Admiralty was "enclosed," in addition to the official feofs already held by:the Family from the Crown; and the brother-in-law of Sir G. Grey was brought into the Cabinet. And, still more recently, have we not seen the place so long occupied by the veteran Palmerston filled up instantly by the cousin of Lord Carlisle? We are not now considering the personal merits of either Sir Francis Baring or Earl Granville; or their fitness re spectively for the posts with the duties of which they have thus been entrusted. Wo are wholly occupied at present with the claims and qualifications of the rest of her Majesty's subjects, and observing on the anxiety shown by the Premier, in 1846, to save for their benefit a few of the crumbs which fall ' from the Fortunates' table. And following out in logical sequence the view we have just stated, we have not the slightest doubt that were Lord Minto forced to resign to-morrow, a great effort would be made to secure the Privy Seal for an offshoot of either the Howards or the Greys. And this we surmise is the only conceivable reason why the septuagenarian Earl is re tained as permanent locum ienens. It is simply to pre vent scandal; which—such is the perversity of a cavil ling world—it unhappily fails to do. But now that the negotiations with Graham and Cardwell are broken off, and that it is more than ever necessary to seek strength from the commonalty of the liberal side, a good oppor tunity is afforded for testing the truth of our charitable theory of patrician motives. We have always believed that the inarticulate President of the Board of Control had been placed where he is just for the same reasons as the Lord Privy Seal. And considering that the said functionary has now received for his inappre ciable services since 1846 upwards of 20,0001. of the people's momey, and has been further rewarded by the Sovereign with the Barony of Broughton de Gifford, we humbly submit, on behalf of the excluded commonalty of three kingdoms aforesaid, that the gentleman in Can non-row has been already amply paid. We frankly ad mit, however, that if what he has done during the last five years is good value for a peerage and 20,0001., it is quite beyond our vulgar knowledge of political arithmetic to calculate what his value would be for the rest of the decade. On the score of economy, however, we should be inclined to say that a less expensive:description of public servant might answer as well, and would better suit our financial condition, with a Kafir war on hand and other struggles imminent. Again we say, it is a rare opportu nity for Lord John to carry out what we are willing to persuade -ourselves was his primary intention, too often abandoned or too long postponed, of forming and leading an Administration which should represent fairly the talents and attainments of the great Liberal party in the Legislature and in the n ation. He has already three minor offices at his disposal, and without going further, we have named two Cabinet places which everybody would approve of his declaring vacant. If he can summarily dispense with the abilities of Lord Palmerston ho can hardly keep his countenance and pretend that be cannot do without Lords Minto and Broughton. Whom he ought to name in their stead it is not for us to say. All we demand is that we shall have no more Lords and no more cousins or brothers in-law. After five years of wanton and offensive exclusion from all participation in the executive go vernment of their country, it is time that the middle classes should be re-admitted to their prop , r privi vilegos. But if Lord John Russell will persist in the fatal system which has well-nigh brought his govern ment to utter wreck, and which may thereby give a transient hope of power to the avowed friends of social and political re-action, then upon his head and upon those of his foolhardy associates in a short-sighted mono poly of official power, must rest the consequences. They have kindled a feeling of resentment at this scheme of exclusion which will yet make itself felt. The narrow selfishness of bureaucracy in France led to far different results than the fall of a minister; and though we are in England happily incapable of the excesses into which our more excitable neighbours were drawn, we are firmly persuaded that a further adherence on the part of the Whigs:to maintain their unconstitutional oligarchy, will tend to the formation of a spirit of hostility to which it would be difficult to prescribe bounds. POST.—From the first entrance of Louis Napoleon on his present arduous task, it was felt that one of the great difficulties in his way would be the ultimate treat ment of those Parliamentary leaders whose ambition he had struck down, whose hopes of power be had extin guished, and whose very lives were in his hand. There was no course without danger —no alternative free from strong objections. If the President had found the free action of these political chiefs incompatible with a calm and safe re-construction of Government before the 2d of December, the results of that day were not calculated to decrease the difficulty cf the position. The original bos tility of unsuccessful and unsatisfied intrigue was aug mented by the bitterness of utter defeat in a game played for a great stake—by the keen sense of personal degradation, on a great ,stage, with the civilized world for spectators. The ashes of revolution were yet too fresh, the political air too heated, not to make it evident that the liberation of these proved elements of danger would be a hazardous venture of magnanimity. Till the new constitution should be promulgated, and in actual progress, it must clearly have been no less fatal to the chance of safety of that momentous expedient than un just to the declared wishes of the nation, to attempt a task of such intricacy and weight in the face of an unfet tered opposition, which had shown itself so unscrupulous and so indefatigable. The President had, therefore, to make his choice between the application to this difficulty of his sole provisional authority, and its remission to a judicial tribunal under tho organic laws of the new con stitution. The President has chosen the former course. His motto is evidently " Thorough." He seems resolved to clear off, as far as possible, every trace of the late struggle before entering fairly on his course. He is anxious that no shadow of the revolution should linger over the dawn of his now era. This has, doubtless, been the motive of the strong and uncompromising measures announced in the decrees of Saturday last. These decrees, it will be remembered, deal by banishment, permanent or temporary, with two different classes of ex-representatives, whose presence in France is pronounced likely to impede the re-estab lishment of order; a third set of persons, it is declared by the Moniteur, will be punished as summarily, but with yet greater severity—by transportation to Cayenne. These last are understood to have been taken red hand, or at least proved to have been personally en gaged in insurrection. The ex-representatives per manently banished from ' E the French dominions .a sixty-six in number. Their names are mostly familiar to us as orators of the Mountain or professors oa Socialism. Among them are Nadaud, the proposed_aure, So cialist candidate for the Presidency, Victor Hugo, k Seise:etcher, Do Platte, Raspail, Bac, Mathieu ( de .... la Drome), Leroux, Muller Montjau, and Esqug s g been actual last named, it will be remembere d, ha actual combatants on the barricades. Tho second class comprises men of a higher order, and ofhem has been, different ob teen, jects, though the conduct of some among 1 en 4 1,, dangerOUS to in its perpetual spirit of intrigue, not principle of the the cause of government than the insane Generals, Cretan, Anarchists.

Three their punishment , than u actually taken in insurrection co justice tho peremptory and hardly expect any other measure of sweeping mar tial law . which th a t i nsurrection made neces sary. The only part, theref ore, o f this closing chapter of the history of the coup detat that may be expected to excite much discussion, and possibly to crea t e some uneasiness , is the prolongation, even after the olection of the 21st and 22d December, of the utror diary powers assumccl and sanctioned for an extraordinary occasion. The course actually taken has, no doubt, been weighed with all the care and caution which its powerful author has shown throughout his task. He has, it may be presumed, fully considered the apprehension which may arise out of coercive mea sures, the justice of which, in whatever strength it may actually exist, is not apparent by any reco r d e d e videnc e , or based on any judicially established grounds. These objections must have been carefully balanced against the advantages of settling on ono broad principle, and in cluding, in a single strong proce ss , t h e sett l ement of the whole struggle with the late Assembly, the complete clearing of the ground for that new social edifice with the construction of which Louis Napoleon has been charged by the nation. Whatever character may be attributed to these decrees as political p rece d ents , or whatever opinion may be formed of their expediency in the abstract, there can be little doubt that their imme diate operation will be of vast benefit to France, in securing her new form of government in its pre sent critical stage from a crowd of mischievous in fluences. We published, yesterday, in addition to these important decrees, the first outlines of a measure which has been long expected and will, we believe, bo gene rally welcomed by all friends of order. We refer to the breaking up of that wretched and mischievous or ganization—that child and instrument of revolutions, the National Guard. Impotent for good—formidable by its weight for evil, the weakest hand or slightest object could turn the wavering and unwieldy force to mischief, while no man could grasp and use it with cer tainty for good. No good man will regret its fall—least of all, we believe, will the members of the corps. Its disappearance, with that of all the associations and types of revolution which Louis Napoleon is boldly and consistently sweeping from the surface of society, will be hailed by France as a sign and promise of a new, a firmer, and a better condition. HERALD. —The attempt at a coalition between Lord John Russell and Sir James Graham has failed. Of this we have been authoritatively informed by the journal to whom the dominant party in Downing-street com municate those secrets with which they desire the public to bo acquainted. Upon what precise point the negotiation broke off we are not told —nay, not even whether the difficultie s are of a temporary or a permanent character—wh e th er they arose in the details of the arrangement of offices, or met the high contracting parties in the very opening o f t h e i r treaty. We protest we are not over curious nor over anxious upon these points. We have long since stated our belief, that the best thing that could happen for the national cause would be such a coalition. A junction with the other is, after all, the only political infamy which it is in the power of either of the parties to the proposed coalition to add to the catalogues of their poli tical crimes. If the great lesson of these evil days be to bumble our national pride, by teaching us how low British statesmanship can fall, a union of the Russell and Graham parties is the only chapter that can be added to our teaching. In that direction we have had some little experience of either party as Cabinet Ministers—if further humiliation is requisite we can only meet with it in a Cabinet composed of the refuse of them both— " The force of nature can no further go, To make a third she joins the former two." There would be a dramatic propriety in the contrivance which would make each of these parties deal the death blow to the other. The justice would be almost poetic that would lock them up in one Cabinet, and doom them to die of the poison of each other's embrace. We know of no more fitting end for them than that they should perish by a coalition, and perish they most unquestion ably would. If, then, we have a feeling at all upon the subject, it is one of regret that Lord John Russell has failed in " strengthening" his Cabinet by the addition of the bad character of Sir James Graham and his friends. Oar regret, perhaps, has in a political sense, something of the compendious malice which prompted Nero's celebrated wish, that the Roman people had but one neck. For the purposes of the coming vengeance, we protest we think it a pity that the Whigs and Peelites should have two. It would add a zest to the enjoyment with which all honest men would now see Lord John Russell kicked out of office to know that Sir James Graham was undergoing the comfortable opera tion at the same time. Before the ship is scuttled we would like to see all the traitors on board. Not to men tion that there would bo a fitness in keeping up the " prestige" which unquestionably belongs to Sir James Graham's ill-omened reputation, and supplying another example of the " u n l uc ki ness " which attends his presence in a Cabinet or a party. But let it not be forgotten that the authority which tells us that the attempt has been unsuccessful, confesses in that very revelation that the attempt has been made. Lord John Russell has in vited Sir James Graham and his party to the councils of his Sovereign. For the sake of place—we wfll dese crate no higher motive by assigning to it the origin of so vile a transaction—for the sake of place, he has asked Sir James Graham to sit in the same Cabinet with himself. He has done this in the face of all that oc curred upon the discussion of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, not twelve short months ago! Ile has done this in the face of the hardly less recent discussions upon the foreign policy of the Government—when, of the princi ples upon which that foreign policy was conducted, Lord John Russell was, next to Lord Palmerston, the chief advocate, and Sir James Graham the principal as sailant. He who had set himself in unequivocal opposi tion to the policy to which Sir James Graham was un equivocally pledged —a policy involving all that con cerned our dearest interests abroad, our most sacred in stitutions at home—this Lord John Rnssell,with a shame less abandonment of principle, unparalleled we verily be lieve in English history, invites that very man, thus at issue with him upon every question upon which British statesmen ought to feel, to form one of the same council with himself. We need not go beyond the last session to find the materials that brand this proposition with indelible disgrace. There was one question—there is still a ques tion—upon which Lord John Russell appealed to the most solemn convictions and to the most sacred feelings of the nation. Against the Papal aggression he in voked the holiest sympathies of the national heart, the most glorious recollections of the national history, and the most sacred watchwords of the national faith. Ho stirred up the Protestant enthusiasm of the country by words of the most inflammatory character. He followed up his appeals to the country out of doors by state ments in his place in Parliament, the gravity of which it is impossible to over-estimate. Ile introduced a measure upon a subject which, if he wore net a hypo crite, tampering and playing with all that could stir the depths of the national heart—he must have believed involved matters of the very highest moment to the Sovereign and the country. That mea sure was ably but vehemently opposed by the politician who leads the little faction that choose to call themselves the Peeltiparty. Principles of the most sacred character were involved in the issue. Prac tical policy, of a nature the most distinct and defined, was in dispute. And never in the history of the British Constitution did two men stand in her Senate more separated by differences of principle, more opposed in their recommendations of practical policy, than Sir James Graham, the acknowledged leader of the Popish party, and Lord John Russell, the author of the Eccle siastical Titles Bill. Cardinal Wiseman and the Arch bishop of Canterbury could not be more dishonest as theologians if they joined in their episcopal functions, than these two men must be, as politicians, it they could now sit in the same Cabinet. Dut this is not all, Lord John Russell did not propose the Bill of last session as a settlement of the question with which it dealt. No, he distinctly stated that he meant it as but a prudent open ing of a contest " f or th e l i b er ti es o f E ng l an d' these were his words—the moat important that our history ever witnessed. Sir James Graham and his friends saw no need of preparation for that contest ; they denounced his measure as an invasion of religious liberty ; they pledged themselves to the principle of " non-interference with th e o p erat i on o f t h e P o pish Ec clesiastical system." Do we exaggerate or overstate ? But interference with that system the Queen's prime Minister moat solemnly and delib e rat e ly declared to be s e a matter of vital necessity to our very existenee. as free nation. In words the most weighty he bou nd self to his God, his Queen, and his country, to direct the held the reins policy of the English nation, so long as he , Titles of Government, in the spirit of the Ecclesiastical he only valued as embodying a national protest—a h Bill—an enactment which he declared of groat principles of public policy . l Yet,tive recognition these sentiments hardly cold upon his lips, he proposes to invite to the Queen's councils the men who e had repudiated—aye, and denounced his protest; and, for the miserable consideration of a few months longer in office, deliberately purposes to barter the honour and the safety of his Sovereign by surro un di ng her with a Cabinet, the majority of whom w ou ld be averse to those principles to which he had 30 solemnly pledged himself. And this is the end of the gre a t Pro testant hero—the champion who, twelve months ago, ap pealed so prettily to the " great principl es o f the Refor mation,"riwith,n oip w e eventureshould ve t o r say,take haim mental reservation from place—who so glibly , talked of the " imm ortal memorie s o f P rotestant that no p martyrs, ' determined that he would only remember their martyrdom to avoid their example, and resolutely re solved, in the profaned name of all, " n bate • not to onejot of hope or confidence" so long asany conceivable amount of tergiversation • could keep him and his ravenous pack of • re ataves in Downing street. We write thus strongly because we can conceive no political act th at can equal the shamelessness of the unprincipl e d coalition that has John Russell may be the more despicable, but,: he is not the less guilty because his offer has been refused. Very probably air James Graham thinks that whenever he pleases he has the Whig Cabinet at his feet. Aro we thus to und erstand the hint that the negotiation is not in such a state that it may not possibly be resumed? We cannot say with Pitt, that, in the name of public safety, we forbid the banns;" we believe the best thing that could happen to the public: would be that the mon strous alliance should be consummated at once. But when we see the author of the Durham letter and the champion of the Popish hierarchy in the same Cabinet, we shall certainly believe it the most daring experiment ever made upon the forbearance of a nation which these conspirators may be assured still retains some respect for political honesty and some sense of public honour.

EMILY HOWARD. -- The readers of Burns may remember that among those who showed the greatest kind ness to him was a lady of the name of Dunlop ; and they will, up doubt, be gratified to learn that a lady of the same name and family lies just entered the ranks of literature, though under very different auspices to those which at tended the prat publication of the Scottish Bard.

GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR THE CRAM PIONC BELT. This was the most exciting foot-race ever witnessed. It came off in Copenhagen-fields yesterday, before at least 3,000 spectators, although the weather was ex ceedingly wet, and the ground heavy. There were twenty-one competitors. Tho whole of the pedestrians were on the ground by half-past two o'clock, but it was fifty minutes past two before they were off, Frost (the Suffolk Stag) taking the lead at a frightful and killing pace, so that, before four miles had been run, Grantham of Eton, Levett of Bat tersea, and other cracks, were forced to give in, others dropping off one by one, till the contest was reduced to four—viz., Frost, J. Tetlow of Oldham, Pudney of Mile end, and Adams of Mitcham—they running throughout in the most splendid manner, Frost, evidently master of the other three, going over the ground like a "stag" —the assumed name.he bears. The ten miles were run in 54 minutes 32 seconds, F rost com i ng i n at 44 minutes 32 seconds past three, being at least 300 yards in advance of Tetlow, Pudney 50 yards further behind, and Adams 30 yards in the rear of Pudney. Betting before starting was rather in favour of Jack son, Lovett, and Grantham, some taking the odds of 3 to 1 against Frost, the winner. Sporting men lost consider able sums on this race. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY.—His Grace the Duke of Devon shire gave a grand ball and supper at Lim:Lore Castle, on Thursday last, to upwards of one hundred of the neighbouring fashionables and gentry of that part of the country.

THE BISHOP OF LONDON-INHIBITION OF THE REV. MR. GLADSTONE. With the particulars of the misunderstanding between the Bishop of London and the Rev. Mr. Gladstone, of Longsicre Episcopal Chapel, our readers are sufficiently familiar. The reverend gentleman, some Sundays ago, preached a sermon, one of a series, on the prevalence of Puseyism in the Church, and in doing so took occa sion to charge, by implication, if not in so many words, the Metropolitan Prelate with being a traitor to the Church of England. The Bishop summoned Mr. Glad stone to his presence, and called on the reverend gentle man to withdraw the charge; but the latter courageously and as became his high calling, declined to do that which his conscience would have condemned. The result has been that an inhibition was served upon the r ev erend gen tl ema n yesterday, interdicting him from preaching any more within the diocese of London. This is an im portant matter, and we shall have occas i o n to recur to it at greater length in a few days.—Morning Advcrbsen SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.
