This Company has been formed for the purpose of working Gold, Copper, and other minerals in the vast range of mountains 'corn- Prising the Liverpool Range, the Blue Mountains , the Australian _Alps, and others traversing the colonies of New South W ales and • • victoria fromm north to south, termed by geologists the " Great Aus tralian Cordilleras," and the various flanks and streams contiguous. , In addition to geld. and copper, these mountain ranges are well known to abound. with various other valuable minerals — Pla ting, silver, and lead; preCious stones are also stated to be among their hidden treasures. The Committee of Management have entered into a provisional !_oatraet for a Zitineral,Lease of 4,000 acres of the celebrated Se g enhoe Estate in;the county of Brisbane, in the Hunter River district, where valuable veins of gold quartz, and copper ore of rich quality have been dlsceveked. The Quartz rocks that run through the Segenhoe Estate are pro nounceA to be the fountain-head from whence are annually carried 1 2, the flood the debris that form the auriferous alluvial deposits of the River Hamer. (See a pamphlet, " Australia and her Treasures," Atiblfshed by Effingham Wilson, Royal Exchange.) The valtiable testimony (as to the auriferous mineral wealth of this regio'n) contained in the pamphlet before alluded to, is fully Corroborated by the fact, that the report of the Government Sur veYors,, Messrs... Hargreaves and Stutchbury, who have lately r eturned to Sydney from exploring the district, has been deemed the Colonial authorities of too exciting a nature for present Publication. The titles to land in Australia, being all originally derived from grants - or purchases direct from the Crown,• are clear and un questionable. The provisional contract and draft lease will lie for Inspection of, S hareholders at the Company's Offices in London, and copies of the l ame at the offices at Plymouth. In dispatching a staff of officers, engineers, and foremen, with the r equisite machinery and appliances, it will be the study of the Com mittee of Management to cmabine the greatest efficiency with a judicious economy, and to obviate the disadvantages a risin g ftom Me enormbizs cost of entirely employing European labour, arrange ments have been entered into for the engagement of large numbers of ti Chinamen, on reasonable terms, to proceed from Hong-Kong and . the neighbourhood to Australia, to meet the Sup erintendent's staff k t h, rt machinery at Newcastle, on the mouth Of the Hunter River. The value of Chinese as workmen has already been fully tested in California and New South Wales, where large numbers, are already and daily arriving. The Company being formed on the Cost-book System, share holders will not be required -to sign any deed until the Royal ...Ciarter is obtained ; and as the scrip ce rtificates will be issued On the purser to bearer, it - will be optional for any one to sign ' me , Cost-book. ▪ Applications for shares may be made at the Company's OffiCes in ,- buildings, and Plymouth; Messrs.

OF TUE BORouG-11 OF FINSBURY. GEIZ±LEAEN, Ihave been honoured • with requisitions, numerously signe;d, re questing me to ly.;comesx Candidate at , the ensuing Election for the representation of your ilerou:tt in Parliament. PosseSsink the confidence of a small, :but intelligent constituency, and not wishing 19 intrude myself upon the ellectors of any. DorOugh returning Liberal Members to Parliament, I solicited the requisi tionists to afford me opportunities of ascertaining generally the wishes and" feelings of the Electors of the Borough of Finsbury. Public Meetings have been held in different parts •of the Borough, and resolutions have been passed by large majorities, affirming the principles of the rdquisitions, and pledging themselves to support mo at the ensuing Election. After an opinion so widely e xpressed, and almost unanimous, I ca n no l onger h esitate t o d ec l a r e myself ready to accept the onerouniut high distinction of becoming. a Candidate for your suffrages. During the time I have had the responsible honour of a seat in Parliament, I have silt - ported, by my votes, the great pride )1c of, Commercial anditeligious Freedom, Of which I have , e v er b e en the advocate in privat e lif e; b u t i n presen ting myself as a Candidate for the suffrages of so l arge and important a constituency as the Bo rough of Finsbury, I f ee l it to be my duty, as far as the natrow limits of an'address will permit, to give you a general outline of my political opinions. I AM IN FAVOUR OF the Extension of the Right of Voting for Members of Parliament, and that, to protect the poor and honest voter in the free exercise of his suffrage, the Ballot should be substituted for the present mode of voting.. That the Duration of Parliament should. never extend heiond Three Years, and the Act requiring a property qualification for Members of Parliament should be repealed. Attached to the - principles of 'ree Trade, I will not only strenuously oppose .every attempt to restore the Corn-laws, but will, with my utmost ability, aid in procuring the removal of all restrictions upon the free exchange of the products of our national industries with those of aliother countrles. Our financial policy. based..upon no just political or economical principle, requires to be thoroughly revised, co as to reduce our expenditure; and render - m.li system of taxation more equitable in its operationtei ‘ ' • In our Military, Naval; Diplomatic, and Colonial ltstablishinents, large savings may be; effected • without impairing their efficiency. The Incoroe"Tax, Probate. Duty, and Post -Hire Duty, are examples of the mode -by which some chtSies of the community and some descriptions of.property arc unfairly and iniiiriaperly assessed.. • As one of the representatives of the people, it would be my duty to endeavour, unceasingly, to liromoteteconoraref expenditure and to support the introduction-of measures by. which all classes- ina.l contribifte.their fair. proportion to the revenue , of the State. The reasons offered for the increase of our standing army are, to my mind, inconclusive, and I have therefore opposed, and shall continue to oppose, a forced and unequal conscription in the form of a Militia. In a free state, religious opinions should not prevent either the enjoyment of civil rights or of political, power, and I have always supported, the removal of all disabilities on account of religious faith, and I have been; and shall be, the humble but energetic advocate of complete religious equality. I am opposed to the payment of any religious denomination from the taxes raised for secular purposes, and I am deeply convinced that a large amount of the demoralization and crime which unhap pily exists in these islands erisea from a deficiency of education in the masses of the people. . I should, therefore, give my earnest and active support to any measures which would diffuse sound secular education amongst all classes of my fellow-subjects. The Reform of the Court of. Chancery. the Abolition of the Eccle siastiCal Courts, tie Government of our Colonies, by and through their own freely-chosen representatives, are subjects which must occupy the attention of Parliament during the coining Session, and in the consideration of these great questions my conduct would be guided by the great principles of a steady, impartial, and inexpen sive administration of the laws, and of full, fair, and free popular re presentation. Believing that the freedom which is enjoyed by the British people is mainly owing to the diffusimn of municipal institutions, and the exercise of the power of local self - government, I am opposed t 6 the centralization in the hands of Government-appointed Commissions the administration or control of local affairs, but that the people should govern themselves through their freely-Chosen represen tatives. • The vast and important interests in the Borough of Kinsbmy re quire from its Members of Parliament a carefuratti-ntion to its local affairs, and should I- have the honour to be chosen as one of your representatives, it will be my duty, as well as my pleasure, to devote an assiduous and energetic attention to the general affairs of the Borough, as well as to the imperial interests of the country, 1 have - the honour to be, Gentlemen, - ' Your obedient 'Servant, Park Village West, Regent's-park.

A QUESTION FOR THE ELECTORS OF Trt car OF LONDON: Gentlemen, When you are again called upon to exercise your electorial privi leges. Peculiar claims from the country will meet your attention. You have hitherto exercised your influence with the judgment and patriotism of worthy citizens : approving valuable institutions, and encouraging laWful commerce, by which the prosperity of tnedargest city in the world is maintained. You have shown your approval of measures calculated to promote the greatest good of the greatest numbers, and have encouraged those whose daily exertions have been directed to this important object ; thus have you on all occa sions honoured the efforts of E. MOSES and SON, the Representa tives of the people, as Merchant Tailors, Clothiers, natters, Hosiers, Boot and Shoe Makers, and' Outfitters to all parts of the world. Thousands are leaving our city and the country, but 'they do not leave the precincts. of our Government, nor will they be forgotten in the Legislative proceedings of the British Parliament. Government has at its disposal 10,000/. for assisting Emigrants : to Australia they purpose dispatching eight ships every nut • weeks, which will carry about 2,400 persons per, month; add to this the tens of thou sands who go on their own resources. then what a form will this qnestion assume. E. MOSES and SON aro acting their , part, with the industry, experience, and success which has alwasrs attended their exertions.. Their perfect acquaintance with the Outfitting bu siness renders them fully competent for the special claims of the times ; they have made the most ample and, complete arrangements for supplying everything requisite for the emigrant, and their Many years' experience enables them to do this superior and more feason.. able than any other house in the world. •It is certain that all Emi grants sent out by Government or otherwise must have en, Outfit, and for every class an indispensable Outfit is provided by E. MOSES and SON. This combines every essential to comfort for every Emi grant, whatever his profession or occupation, perfectly suited; to his passage and his station.. Every article of guaranteed utility and un rivalled quality is comprised in E. MOSES and SON'A superlative Outfits' for the'accornmodation of Emigrants. E. MOSES and EON maintain a separate department in their gigantic Establishment ex pressly devoted to the Outfitting Branch. . • All necessary information gratuitously supplied to Emigrants. A full list of Outfits may be had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. • CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON are under the necessity of guarding the public against imposition, having learned that the un tradesmanlike falsehood of " being connected with their Establish ment,"• or "It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many Instances, and for obvious reasons. They have NO CONNEXION WITR ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows - - - Lindon City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 151, franorlea, 83, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Murchison and the Rev. Mr.-Clarke, bad predicted the existence of gold. Mr. Clarke, indeed, pr .- ogee - 1r that he could hen. found it, bat would not, as it was inexpedient, the colony being a convict one. A shepherd had even been known to have sold gold in considerable quantities in Sydney, but he kept his secret in spite until' now Ophir was proclaimed in Mat , las year, was-the mystery of his wealth revealed. The locality thus named by Mr. Hargreaves se is a deep ravine, through which flows the Summon:in C ree k, from the lofty Cemollus, between 4,000 and 5,00 0 feet high. So deep is the ravine that the diggers e njoy very little of the of the geologists, and not sun.

The pebbles increase in sixd. sa he gets n.earer to the bed rock, where he.finds boulders a 100Ibs. and upwards in weight, evidently worn by the attrition of water through cen turies. At this depth the soil is white and clayey. The mixture of earth and pebbles is extremely hard, and picks worked on it require to be pointed very often. After working down through.this to bad rock, the gold digger may be rewarded handsomely, and he may, on the other hand, have thrown all his labour away. Some such holes, 16 or more feet deep, yield barely a quarter of an ounce a day during washing, while others not half the depth may yield from five to ten ounces. Oakey Creek is the richest of those falling into the Turon, and immenraholes, piles of rubbish, heaps of pebbles, and cradle tablings, showed even last November that it had been well explored. A smaller creek of thesame name, separated from it by a dividing ridge, is also exceed ingly rich. About two miles up it the banks become very precipitous and regged, and there is a fall of about &teen feet. Aboye the fall it is a mere watercourse over table land occupied as a sheep station. The women even. at the sheep station took knives and pint pots, and ga thered the gold from the crevices of the rocks, but the scarcity of water prevented any extensive cradling. What must babe been the sensations of the people at the sheep station 'at seeing so much gold dug out of the spot where they have been for years in the habit of filling their tea-kettle? The rocks about both these creeks are schist and quartz, and appear to be much worn, the tops and sides of the ridges being covered with their detritus.

Quartz veins traverse it in a north and south directiOn. The prices on the best claims on the l'uron will afford some clue as to its richness. The best one was sold for nine hundred pounds, and the purchaser allowed two days' trial, in which he got 160 t. 'towards the purchase-money.' The bed rock was nine .feet from the surface, and very uneven, jutting up wards in masses, forming huge pockets for holding the precious metal. Another claim, sold for 7001., did not repay the purchaser, though 71bs. were found one day, and 51bs. the next. One party, called rangers, procured 1,500/, worth in four or five weeks; but, says the corre spondent of the paper, the enumeration of such remark able successes can only have a prejudicial effect in giving a false notion of the general success of the miners; .for besides the rich golden Point, Sheep Sti tion point, and Satin.

It is suppesed to have been caused by the breaking of a water-spout during a thunder-storm, for the pro digious volume of , water which, in less than an hour from the commencement of the storm, poured its devas tating flood down the creeks, could scarcely owe its rise even' to the heaviest fall of rain. A loud roar , like a com ing storm of wind, was the only warning, and before miners had time to think, the moving mass of waters was upon them; cradles and other implements were swept away to destruction; holes and excavations filled up, and heaps of useless earth thrown up by miners were levelled down, burying what tools were not carried away, and restoring somewhat the former appearance of the creeks before they were disturbed by the pursuit of gold. Miners barely escaped with life, and there were one or two fatal accidents. After the flood, the waters of which subsided almost as quickly as they rose, the banks of the creek, especially about the highest water-. ntalkowere thinly sprinkle's] with gold, which the miners nugget of one ounce was picked of New South Wales, next-in import sugtptliic. I think, Braidwood or Aralven diggings, in the county of St. Vincent. The correspondent e t , t h e Empire, Dec. 10, caktTloyhthegaadthiTggeurgnts, wero, says, I was astounded at the busy scene; :the entire bed had been rooted up from 20 to 2,5 feet, and in each excavation from 6 to 10 men were engaged in dislodging the auriferous soil; and conveying it tolhe cradles near the water coarse, for - the purpose of separating the gold from the detritus. The Mapes Creek (which has proved the richest) is pro perly a swamp, covered in most places with long silky grass in tusfocks. The surface soil is black and rich in the extreme, suitable for garden ground. This runs to and considerablep as passing through sisine e these are: found u mass the depth of .from 5 to 8 feet, under which. is a, stratum of d&composed granite, the richest veins are blue and a d ss be o n f e s a o t l h id l rock ailkof jacent hills are granite and a nrif e r ous to a gre at er o r lees extent. Some, thirty .miles to the north of the Turon is the Naroo, a creek, or river, in the county of bouldersgreena n of Wellington, flowing into the Cudgegong; it has never been so well tried as either of the others; and, being on a much larger scale, offords room for thousands. Gold is here found in surface earth, in black and red gravel; and uneer the gravel, in blue clay, which, is generally considered the most promising, as it re tains the gold, in' fact, gold can scarcely be looked for in gravel, as the gravel, so easily disintegrated, will have allowed the heavy metal to fall through to the bed of the stream; but the clay is perhaps never thoroughly disin tegrated, and the masses, when deposited, have still gold disseminated throughout them; but Ibis clay is very bad 'io work in the cradle. Not unfrequently it rolls up in balls about the size of pills, and carries the gold with it, as it clings so tenaciously to the crevices of the larger stones that uo ordinary amount of rocking will separate it from them, and the stones may be thus thrown away with no inconsiderable quantity of dust clinging to the sides. The day eihould perhaps be steepedin a trough, or better still, dealt with in some . kind of a puddling. ,rho Louiwereek, so famous on account of 'the cut, is a tributary of the Naroo; but here the diggings aro on e table land some distance from, the stream. The , his tory of the cut I presume, too well known for me to repeat. I will only mention that, while staying et the Cotnniisgioner's, I saw . revere' times the black who pointed it out to Dr. lierr, and having squandered his .reward, he was 'cuttieg bark for the barracks at 4d. a sheet. Another magnificent nugget, valued ae I be !love, 1,e001„ was found :male months after by Ides nun's party, and several smaller once since. A company is now working a half-acre claim in this locality, so that the 'diggers have been driven from the choicest part. Their average got up to the. time of my leaving was 10 ounces a day, with 30nsen employed, who received V. Zs. wageS and rations. This is much above the average of •he previous diggerS, kho wint the great advantage of syitem. I had the pleaSiare of dining with the company on Christmas-day off 'roast- beef and plum-pudding, the thermometer being 10e deg. in the shade. About 55, miles from Bathurst are the Abercrombie The river may be described as tthe Turon on tv grand the monntaina loftier, creeks and gullies deeper, and river a more important stresne. Its geological features are precisely similar, consisting of slate, alter nating with trap and porphyry, and that peculiar gravel deposit under which such abundance of gold has been discovered at the Turon is to be seen cropping out at many points of the river; but the work at the Abercremble is mere hen-scratching compared ta the Herculean labours at the Term. But it would be,tedions and .inipossible to go . throng . % the long list of diggings, and the probability es that in the out-of-the-way valleys and gullies there- are yet other generally unknown ones where many a digger may be r ac king his cradle and saving 'his license fee. Th e o n es I have mentioned are the chief in New South Wales. Of Victoria I can only speak from report. The first ac count of its goldfields which reached New South Wales were quite Unwarranted by facts, so that for some time all Victoria gold news was received with discredit. It has since, however, been incontesttbly shown that their mines 'are t h e richest: they are nearer, too, to the capital , eacoo unts for the greater yield, as it was which in P ar •teiPopulation, while Sydney was at almost drained s. no t i me pe rhspa more than decimated.

In the case of dry diggin gs only a few grains, but occasionalel ed away, and the is none, sometimes many ounces are been supposing, the soil will of cen ree seme distance to the cradle at the s ‘ t ic g ire that we have to be carried extend their hemmed in by other claims the diggers will and if not operations at the surface, to save labou r ' find the yield as they go d own more thancounrepleessnate they But river claims are c o nsid ere d t h e most valuable, here it is not such a sine qua non t o procure gold e' andh at surface, because they look to th e h o l es and crevices t- e the original rock had of the stream—pockets as. they c all l them—for the chief reward of all their toil in -reaching it. So the prospecting party will most likely direct their steps is the river, and examine well all its peculi arities. Perhaps - they will choose some promising bar, where if with the prospecting dish they procure gold in any tolerable quantity it settles the point at once, and they will bring down the cradle, pitch their tent, &o. But the soil may be gravel, and they can scarcely then expect to produce gold, by washing, near the surface; for the gravel being easily separated by the current will have allowed the gold to oass through to the bed of the stream; but if after removing the top - - stones that almost in variably find their way to these bars they reach a tena cious clay, as it will never is all probability have been thoroughly disintegrated by the current, they may cal culate on finding at once. A blue clay especially is con sidered very promising, though it gives of course a great deal of trouble in the washing, being exceedingly diffi cult to get thoroughly away from the stones and pebbles that it clings to so tenaciously. If they determine upon working this bar they will dig a tren c h, an d by t h e a id of back troughs divert the stream. They will then dig till they reach the original bed, after removing in their way to it enormous slabs and stones—a labour which is not unfrequently for nothing. Or the party may choose some bank or spur over which at some ancient date the river has Tweed. Here they will notice where the point would have been, and probably will choose the spot where they thick the eddy caused by it has existed. Should they not procure gold at the surface they may yet, according to circumstances, determine to work it. and very often hole s t wen ty f ee t deep and upwards may be seen, out of which not a particle has ever been procured. As before, they will 'dig till they reach the original bed, and ahould they be so fortunate as to obtain a good yield from its pockets, following their direction, they will tunnel under the adjoining banks. Sometimes it happens that while in one bolo hundreds of pounds worth ore thus procured in one day, the next claim will have yielded nothing. Many, in deed, work for weeks without meeting with any success. During last winter, the wettest known for twenty years at the mines, the working of the bed claims has been most seriously impeded; in fact, it has been impossible to work some of them at all for months together; but this circumstance, so unfavourable to the New South Wales diggers, has proved quite the reverse to those at work on Mount Alexander, notorious as it is in ordinary seasons for its want of water; even before I left Sydney this complaint was again abroad, and I hear that sixty men from Sydney had returned disappointed in conse quence. It would be extremely desirable to determine how far mining, as at present carried on, partakes of the nature of a lottery; but the data are so contradictory, exaggerated, and inaccurate, that this is almost impos sible; still I believe the present impression t o b e unwar rantd by facts; it is very questionable whether the ac tual gross yield of the mines has as yet equalled the ex pense incurred in consequence of their discovery—isolated facts, accounts of individual success create undue im pressions, people are apt to forgot the oblivion that attends failure in reading the glowing accounts of one suddenly enriched. Now there have been numerous failures at all the diggings, even at Mount Alexander; but there are no certain data by which we can arrive at the average earnings. The licenses issued afford no chte, as et one time only a portion of the diggers took them out, and it can scarcely be doubted that in the nu merous out of the way willies, there is many a digger rocking his cradle and saving his license fee. We cm only surmise them from the accounts of the diggers themselves : the average earnings of the first 400 at Ophir appear to have been about 10s. a day; but their success was most unequal. Mr. Forbes gives it as his opinion that where one got 204 or 301, fifty earn 10s. a day, and forty-nine scarcely their ra tions. Later still a newspaper correspondent estimates ' the average earnings at 21. a week, atulsays no ono would set it above 31.; few rated the average earnings at the Taron above 11. per week. At Louisa Creek, the correspondent of the Empire puts it at 10s. a dee per man, when succcssfal ones were getting a quarter of an ounce daily, and scores not earning rations; at Braid wood, at the best time, 15s. to 30s. At Mount Alex ander some estimate it to have been at one time as high as 31. a day per man; but the commissioners at tat same time puts it at from 15s. to 30e. Comparing an the accounts, it seems probable that at a time when the mail and weekly escort were bringing down between 5,000 and 6,000 weekly, the number engaged in mining operations approached at least 25,000; but failures were very numerous, so many totally unfit for the work en gaged in it, to bay nothing of other causes. Indeed, ge nerally, I do not think the fit character of the only proper persons fo emigrate can be too strongly insisted en. Both in Australia and New Zealand I have met many who should never have left their own country." The CHAIRMAN said that he felt much indebted to Mr. Shilling, in common with the meeting, but would feel obliged if ho could throw any light on a fact ,which had been communicated to him. A friend had sent out 800 sovereigns as a venture to purchase gold, and the result of the transection, after paying all expenses, was a profit of only 11. 15s. 9d. Mr. SHILLING suggested that the gold might not have beau properly assayed. '1 here was only ono person in Sydney who knew how to assay gold. A Gentleman present read extracts from a Sydney paper just received, to show that there were numbers of persons out of employment there, and cocking it at small salaries, also !hat the average earning was about an ounce and a quarter per week per man. From this paper the gentleman inferred that wages had not risen at Sydney. . Mr. ...letrantled raid when he lea Sydney wages were rising rapidly. Tiemen got 3/. per week, and bakers 2/. Mr. S. SYDNEY said there was no doubt there was ample employment in Australia for strong men, but per sons of the better class who thought of going out would do well to recollect that the work was something lik e laying gas-pipes in London. There were many young men here who dressed well but had ver y little mousy in their pocket. If they wer e not afraid when nut of sight of their friends to become shepherds or bullogcoko-d wages. drivers, they might get plenty of employment and Mr. J. SAUNDERS said he had resided thirteen years in the colony, and believed t hat those advertisements fo r situations we're from men of bad charac t er , who would not get employment anywhere.—(Hear, hear.) He be lieved that forty or fifty thousand hands could at this moment be absorbed by the, labour of the colony with out inconvenience. In answe► to an inquiry, two or three gentlemen simultaneously said that sovereigns wero the best ven ture that emigrants could take with them, and Mr. Shilling added that tho expense of living at the diggings was about 15s. a week. Mr. FOSTER proposed a vote of . thanks to Mr. Shilli ng. Professor TENNENT, seconding the vote, d we l t upon the necessity of some chemical and mineralogical know ledge, as preliminaries to the Australian voyage. Many were now going who did not know one ore from another, and the best advice he could give to intending emigrants was to go down for two or three weeks to the mines of Derbyshire or Cornwall, and there study the variouepro ceases connected with digging, washing, and smelting the ores.—(Hear, hear.) Toe Learned Professor, in eon. elusion, observed, that without some previous study of this kind, the emigrant from Saxony and Prance would have great advantages over the English, as, generally speaking, they were much better educated.—(Dear.) The vote of thanks was then passed by ac c l amation, and the proceedings terminated. LATE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

The summer drills of the Royal Dockyard Brigade are continued every evening, and a great degree of steadi ness and efficiency in the various drills and evolutions has been attained. The battalion will prove an orderly and well•disciplined body of men. It is now feared that the large man-of-war the Wind sor Castle, of 140 guns, will not be in a condition to be launched this summer. A great portion of the dock yard strength has been placed upon her in order to insure her early completion; but the magnitude of the works will preclude the lettnch this year.

This battery is to bo fitted for the reception of guns of far heavier metal than hitherto used, and otherwise to be rendered more complete and efficient. APPOINTMENTS.

THE NAVY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—The stirring up you enabled me to give the late Board of Admiralty has had its effect on the present, who really are doing a vast deal of good. The sailors are treatt d with more consideration than usual; their wages aro now '° paid down " and leave given on their arrival in port, instead of being kept back till they are on the point of sailing; and they have brought a Bill into Parliament to reduce the money kept in hand from six mouths to three. But why, Sir, keep any money in hand at all? Why not pay the sailor the money he has earned? It is said, if paid up, they will desert. This is quite a mistake; if a sailor wishes to desert, that won't hinder him; and if he does he goes without taking any of the Queen's money with him. Why punish all the navy because a tow men m ay desert? Why should the sailor be the only man in tho country who is not paid his wages at once?

An accident of a most d e p lorable nature, attended with rho los s o f t h roe , the River Thames, off Globe Stairs, Rotherhithe, at a if not four , human bein g s, occur red on the s p o t it appeared that a vessel, ci t l e i c i h r few minutes before midnight on Tuesday. F ron , in s ~ monkey," named the Isabella, was lying off Caen-wharf, near n ic i s ca na lly ad t e erm on ed stairs, laden with stone. There were vessel Mrs. Lydia Whitlock, the • belonging to raddingt° ll ) the above-natne d Castle. Whether or not Mr. Whit her infant daughter, and a female wife abaotf the captain her na med IgarY ' lock, the captain' friend, was on board conldnot be ascertained, but one thing is quite certain if he was in the ill-fated vessel he has also perished. Whilst the boat was apparently safely riding on the water, with scarcely a, ripple on the surface, a large steamer hove in sight, and was proceeding at a rapid pace down the River. She had ba rel y cleared Gl o be Stairs when the swell of the water completely covered the smaller vessel. The captain's wife at that time was en deck, and had ample time to save her own life by j um ping overboard, but instead of so doing she gave a fearful scream of " Save, oh save us!"
