ROYAL HOTEL, LOWESTOFT. The Proprietor of this Hotel has much pleasure in informing his Friends and the Public that during the winter he has provided ittensive suites of bedrooms, in addition to the win constructed last Rummer; this wil prevent a recurrence of those d , sappointments 'which so frequently took plats from his inallity to accommodate his friends in the past year. It is his intention to persevere in that course which has already given such general satisfaction, viz., to combine the best Wines, Viands, Attendance, and Cleanliness, with Xoderate Charges. The salubrity of Lo wes t o ft, th e exce ll en t b a thi ng, an d b eau ty of Its neighbourhood, for riding and walking, are too well known to require comment. S. HOWETT has only, therefore, in conclusion, to call attention to the easiness of access and lowness of fares from the places, a li st o f which is subjoined, and to express his hope that ,e will continue to e x p er i ence th a t lib era l suppor t w ith which be -oas already been favoured.

They condoled with me on my misfortunes, and requested me to tell there in what ~'! ./ .ay they could assist me. With many thanks for heir kindness, I begged of them to go down to the wreck and endeavour to atop the plundering, which they promised to do, and then t oo k l eave , assur i n g me that they wou ld leave Soor immediately after the afternoon prayers. Left Soor in the evening, and anchored at Kalhat next day, as we were in want of water. On Wednesday, May 19, we all arrived safely at Muscat, and were received with great kindness and hospitality. I shall ever remember with feelings of deepest gratitude the great kindness and attention shown to me by his Highness Syed Syed, the Imaum, and also by Major Hamerton, the British Consul. This gentleman insisted on myself and officers making his house our home, and did all in his power to make us forget our troubles_ His Highness, immediately on hearing of our arrival, sent his Vizier not once, but many times, in the course of the afternoon to inquire after our health, and to know what assistance we required. With many thanks to his Highness for his condescension and generosity, I asked for one of his men of war to proceed down to the wreck. Orders were sent to prepare the Artimise for sea. Our crew were all sent on board her, and the Faize Allum with pro our passengers on board visions and money. The next morning I called on his Highness to thank him for his good ness. He received me in a most. fatherly manner, and said that he hoped I bowed with resignation to the will of the Almighty, who was afflicting me for his own good purposes. He told me that he had placed the sloop.of-war Artimise entirely at my disposal, every one on board being under my orders, and that he had written to the Sheik of Soor to supply me with any number of boats that I required. He also sent a guard of twenty-five sepoys to protect us when at the wreck. After again thanking hi m , I t oo k l eav e, and returned to the consulate, and found that his Highness had sent a bolt of black broad cloth and twelve pieces of fine shirting, to make clothes for my officers and my self. The Artimise was lying with topmasts down at 4in the morning, and by 8 P.M. that night was all a taunto, sails bent, water, &c., on board, and at 9 reported ready.' -Bengal ll was unmoore u d r , ka ha ru ul , juedonue 2tsid2.e, and CHEAP COALS in the COMING WINTER. Everything at the present moment indicates great cheapness of coals in the ensuing winter. Nowhere in the world has fuel been at all times so dear as in London ; and but for the numerous gifts of coals constantly dispensed during the winter months by charitable societies and benevolent individuals in the metropolis, the sufferings of the poor from the want of this arti c l e a l one wou ld no t un f requ ently of neces sity be att en d e d w i t h f ata l resu l ts . F o r the last three years coals in London have been selling on an average, at the rate of from 225. to 255. per ton, retailed to the poor at per coot. cheap years,And these price of from ls. 2cl. to ls. cd. as compared have been considered b v retail ariith the two or three years immediately preceding. coals were sellinginthe London winter t o of 0 1 h 8 i 4 g 7 h - 8 11 rate as Is. 10d. t o 2s, p prices than this have been cwt.,i,own situated within a very recent period. When we loonkt to lat e otherid with towns respect the empire, more advantageou s l y to the facility of obtaining c oa l s c annot but be of opinion, that even althoilg w h p t r h i crl4 we Lon don workman earns several shillings more weekly'on than the provincial one, the latter, if resident i n - a quarter where coals are to be had direct from the pit, is always nearly equal in the winter months, in point of actual money in pocket, to his London fellow workman ; and this from the saving alone effected in the price of coals. A London workman, with a wife and family, must necessarily have always one fir e burning at home, while he himself is out at work ' - and to keep up this fire be must consume at least 2 cwt. of coals per week, which will cost him, on the cheap average, about 2s. 61, or ls. 3d. per cwt. Now, the workman in the coal quarters of the kingdom—at Newcastle, Glasgow, and other places—pays about 3d. for what the London one pays ls. 3d. Thus, if the London workman earns, say 20s. per week, and the provincial one 18s., the latter is as well off as the former. The price of coals in London is even more severely felt by persons in lodgings, than by any other members of the community. The ordinary lodging-house charge for a week's burning is 3s. 6d., tee lodger being stinted generally to about 1 cwt.; in the higher class of lodging houses, again, the usual charge is about ss. per week for the same amount of coals consumed. A reduction in the enormous existing price of coals must undoubtedly, from these facts, be a great -boon not only to the poor strictly so called, but also to the class above them. The anticipated cheapness in the ensuing winter arises from the circumstance of the rivalry now be ginning to be carried out by the steam-vessels on the Thames and the railways. Till a very recent period, no coals were brought from Newcastle to London, except in the ordinary old-fashioned coal vessels, such as have been trading from time immemorial, as it were, between the great coal port of the north and the harbour of the metropolis. The enormous rate of freight charged by these vessels, so long as there was no competition, had, of itself, the effect of keeping coals at a very high prices when unloaded at London ; while, in addition, the circumstance of the whole coal traffic being in the hands of a comparatively few great brokers, or merchants, the opportunity of mo nopoly which they enjoyed induced them to combine together for the purpose of keeping this necessary of life at an extravagantly high rate of cost to the inter mediate dealer, and of necessity also to the consumer. The influence of railwny s ' however, has made itself evi dent in beginnin g to effect a chance. Recently a com pany was formed f or th e tole purpose of conveying coals frroeimghttheiscosaol tod m is u tr e i h ct b s elw a London, and the cost of f that charged by the anti quated coal-vessels, that a great difference in the price of coal 3 would soon become evident to the con sumer, were the operations or business of the corn- PanY as yet of so extended a nature as sensibly to affect the competition of the coal. vessels.

A grant from the Government conferring all the land necessary for the construction of the road, and alk.necessary buildings, has already been obtained, with the exclusive privilege to the Proprietors of the road to establish and collect such toll and passage money as they shall think proper. The grant is for the period of 60 years ; at the expiration of that term the road is to be surrendered to the Governor of the province as provincial property, and the entire amount of the original.ca pital accumulated by a reserved fund to be laid aside from the profit of the enterprise will then be repaid pro-rata to the proprietors of shares. The termini of the proposed road are in the Lagoon of Chiriqui, on the Atlantic coast, and in the Bay of Chiriqui, ora the Pacific aide. The harbours .and anchorage at these termini are excellent. Through the whole lino the countryis very healthy. The coast on the Atlantic terminus was surveyed hp her Majesty's ship Thunder; and that en the Pacific by her Majority's Thesrofil cial survey s, copies of which have been obtained fromthe dmiralty„ fully establish the advantages here asserted, and are highly favour able to the proposed' enterprise. The route has been long known and used as a provincial road. The highest elevation of the line of road. between the two oceans is only 160 feet, arid the steepest gradient only 18 feet to the mile. The distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific in a direct line is only 40 geographical miles, and the length of wood will not exceed 50 miles. The facilities for its construction are very great. The Chiriqui road may be open for traffic in one year, and in full working order within 18 months from the period of its commence ment. - When completed the whole distance may be travelled within eight hours. This route is in the most direct line from Europe to the colonies of Australia and New Zealand, and as the route for the California emi gration, it is far superior to either the Panama or the San Juan de Nicaragua. It must also insure the transit of merchandise con signed to and from the west coast of America, both north and south, and a considerable portion of the specie from the same coast. A por tion of the trade between Great Britain and Australia and New Zea land, and that of the other islands of the Pacific, may also be fairly calculated upon. A considerable portion of the geld procured in Aus tralia will be transmitted across this route. Notwithstanding the existing difficulties upwards of 100,000 persons crossed the Isthmus of Panama during the last year, and it is computed that the in creased inducements and facilities for trade and emigration fur nished by new lines of steam -ships will vastly Increase the amount of traffic and travel across the Isthmus, placing it beyond doubt that this undertaking will produce immense returns. The amount of capital necessary to complete and open the road in perfect working order will be only 200,0001., and the revenue to bo derived from it, computed from the sources above indicated, will yield a net profit on the entire capital of about 30 per cent., alter making a very liberal deduction for expenses, and also laying aside a reserve fund sufficient to replace the original capital, and provide for any unforeseen contingencies. In submitting this undertaking to the public, the Directors deem it unnecessary to enlarge on its importance, or the vast advantages and facilities which will be given to consmersial intercourse by a safe, spee dy, and economical means of intercommunication, with excellent harbours adapted to all purposes of trade, between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. They are permitted to state, as a gurrantee of its feasibility and realisation, that the Messrs. Warings, of London, railway contractors, arc ready to undertake the con struction of the road at the estimated cost, and will immediately at their own expense send their surveyors and staff so the locality to make the final survey. The Directors have the satisfaction of announcing that her m a jesty's Government - have acceded to the request of the pro moters for the grant of a Royal Charter of Incorporation, by which the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of their shares, and no payment will he required until the Charter shall have been completed.

Yesterday, at the Middlesex Sessims, three of the Paddington dust contractors—Joht Gore, Henry Tame, and Stapleton —appealed pursuant to their recognizances to receive judgment. Mr. Sergeant Adams, the assielant•judge, who attended the court for the especial turpose of giving judgment in these cases, said, beffre proceeding to state what the decisio n o f t h e court was, he wished to make allusion to an anonymous letter he had received from some person who appeared interested in the sub ject of these prosecutions, for that letter related en tirely to matters connected with them, and was signed " A Sufferer." The terms in which the letter was couched showed the author of it to be a person of education ; but it was a disgraceful production, and though it was written in a superbr female hand, it clearly originated from a men, for it contained words which no educated female would use, so he supposed that, for the purposa of disguise, the real author had procured some Draale to copy a letter written by himself. If what was stated in that letter were true, the anther ought to have affixed his name ; but as he had not done so, he (the Assistant-Judge) should take no farther notice of it, but would caution the writer--who he hoped heard what he said, and who would be really a 'sufferer were he before the court---the nett time he wrote anonymous letters not to use wordl too coarse to be repeated, and then seek to mike it appear that the author was a female. He tleen tiroceeded to give a history of the circumstances attinaing the cases be fore the court, and the steps thia,had been taken sub sequent to the consintion .arte4' defendants: - They were convicted in the year 1850, on the prosecution of the parish of Paddington, of keeping on wharves in that parish immense collections of refuse, sweepings, and dirt, the effect of which was to create a public nuisance by the stench arising from them, and he with the consent and sanction of all parties, took upon himself the task of personally satisfying him self of the state of the wharves, on the under standing that the defendants were to adopt any suggestions he might make for the abatement of the nuisance or the remotal of their business to less objectionable places. It appeared in evidence on the trial of one of the cases that the whole of the refuse of Covert-garden Market was deposited on Stapleton's wharf, and on his going there he found that such was tie fact, and the stench arising from the deposits of mesh large quantities of vegetable matter no doubt was E serious nuisance and annoyance to the neighbourhood. It was a sine qua nen with regard to Stapleton thtt such deposits should be removed, and the sweepings in future taken else where, or that the contract for clearing Covent-gar den Market should be given up, He promised that this should be done. On subsequent visits to the premises he was not satisfied with what the defene dents had done, and Stapleton denied that any fresh deposits of Covent-garden sweepings had been made there, but he thought from the smell that there had, and as he was leaving he saw three cart loads going to the wharf. Stapleton had said that it was only oc casionally that Covent-garden sweepings were taken there, when a cart might come in late at night, but he found on questioning the man in charge of the three loads that the supply had been going on. Mr. Stapleton—l wish to impress on your Lord ship's memory that the Coventtgarden contract was for seven years, and that two and three-quarters of it are unexpired. The Assistant- Judge—Mr. Stapleton promised to put an end to it, or move the refuse elsewhere; that was a sine qua non, and there had been ample time for a wharf to be procured elsewhere. He had not thought it necessary to require Darke or Holdsworth to appear ; Collins had bad the good sense to give up ; Gore, who was an old offender, had rendered it ne cessary to threaten him severely, but both he and Tame appeared now to have their wharfs in a satis factory state ; but it must be clearly understood that, if any further accumulations took place, severe punishment would follow. All they had to do was to have boats in readiness to convey the sweepings to other premises, for which they must l oo k out . With some reluctance he should further respite the sentence on Gore and Tame until the 2d of November ; but, in justice to the parish by which these prosecutions were instituted, and the court itself, he could not act in the same way to the defendant Stapleton. During the time he had sat in that chair he bad made it a principle that those who made promises should honestly perform them, or feel the very serious con promises, and then failed io csrrftnem out,, must learn that there was a heavy hand over them. Sta pleton had not performed the promise he had m ade with regard to discontinuing to receive Covent -garden sweepings at his wharf, and he must pay a very heavy penalty ; but even when he had paid that penalty, he would not be at liberty t o snap hi s fingers, and go on as before, for the Court would require ample security for his good behaviour, and he would be indicted again if the nuisance was continued in that densely populated neighbourh oo d . The sentence was—that the defendant Stapleton pay a fine of 3001., and enter into a recognizance of 5001., with two sureties of 501. each, to be of good behaviour for twelve months. The defendant said h e was a young b eg inner, and that that sentence would be his ruin. He begged his for a mitigation, and u rge d t h at h e h a d understood all along that he was t o h ave a carry i ng trade at wharf. The Assistant-Judge said ample warning had been given, and the senten ce was passed. If the defendant found another place f or the Coveat-garden refuse, that might be the means o f t h e sentence be i ng co nsidered elsewhere, but he cou ld h old out no assuranc e to that effect—that was all he could say. by Mr. Clarkson ha v i ng alluded to affidav it s ma de his clients, Gore and Tame, as to the state of their premises, said he hop e d the Court wou ld pe rmit him to say a few word s f or S tapleton. Wou ld the Court be pleased to give th a t defendant an oppo rtunity to put himself in a better position before it, or direct that the fine should no t b e enforced unt il a fter the e of November. Mr. Stapleton's Covent garden o con tract was for seven y ears, and he ba d tw o sureties f 5001. each for its performance. The Assistant-Judge.—Well, why don't he find another place for the r e f use ? — M r. St a pleton said he had tried everyn here, but could not get a place. r ubbish had The Assistant-Jud ge sa id t h a t a nswer was an , ample admission that the Covent-garden , harf, been taken as usual to th e P a ddington al though he had given hi s so l emn promise that it should not. ngton had Mr. Clarkson said the pari s h of Paddi quite grown out of what it was w hen these poor de fendants took their wharve s , and had reached a de gree cf refinement quite unk now n at the time.

The plan proposed was that of emigration, which WAS to be effected by means of a penny -rate, and it will be remembered that a consider. recipients of parochial a special relief petitioned that this means of obtainueg an honest penny-rate, and independent livelihood might be afforded them. An insignificant section of the parish objected to the proposed which would Plan, and it was in consequence found to be necessary I o poll the rate-payers on the subject. The poll resulted in a triumphant majority for the proposed emigration rate. I v r tr e y di w at a e s ly the numbers were declared e w m a i s e7 h a f t j i l o d n , ' was unanimously agreed to.

It would be interesting to compare the results of the half yearh that were made comparison it with the corresp ondin g half of last year the results would be even more g ratifyin g .

When the new line from London to Plymouth should be finished, no doubt their busi ness would be greatly augmented, and he hoped that before they next met, they would be able to show that a very handsome profit had accrued to the com pany from this extension. Upon their other lines very considerable sums had been expended in multiplying the number of their wires, in order that they might be able to keep pace with the increase of their business. It was difficult, perhaps, to distinguish any direct benefit arising from these dis bursements, but they had enabled them to assist the small towns which lay :along their great lines ; and it had been found absolutely essential to make these ad ditions so as to meet the increasing demands upon the company ; besides which they would thus be able to ensure two or three lines across the country between the metropolis and the chief cities of the kingdom. He need not trouble the meeting with details, which were very important to the directors, as showing the manner in which the different localities availed them selves of the telegraph. Wherever the board found a disposition to make use of the additional facilities afforded to the public, there they tried still further to extend the benefit of telegraphic communication.

The East India Company have just determined to es tablish a very extensive system of electric telegraphs in India, under the superintendence of Dr. W. B. O'Shaugh nessy, of their medical establishment. intended to connect Calcutta, Agra, Lahore, Bombay, and Madras, and as many of the principal towns and stations as can be embraced in the routes be tween these places. The diatanca to be traversed is up wards of 3,000 miles, and it is intended to proceed with such expedition in its construction that its completion may be expected before three years from the present time. Dr. O'Shaughnessy has lately been employed in India in carrying on experiments with the electric tele graph, in order to discover the best system which could be adopted. Tho result of these experiments was highly satisfactory to the Governor-General and to the Court of Directors, who immediately resolved to take measeares for giving to India the inestimable advantage of this marvellous means of communication. ps t e k aa rri handsuet lgdy came WRECK OF THE CENTAUR. this accident, and of The following is Captain Salmon's narrative of was attended : " Thursday, May 13, 1852—At 5 P.M. (civil time), sighted the land of Arabia below Ras Rouze, distant from 20 to 25 miles, bearing from W. by . S. the circumstances by which it to W. by N. Steering from that time NI E., Whim course would have taken the vessel to the eastward of Rasjens, and Raselhad, about seven to eight miles. Wind fell light at sunset. A due north course would have taken me clear of any of these capes by seven miles, but I allowed a little off, to be on the safe side, as the weather was hazy. Breeze freshening at 8 P.M. from S.S.W., weather hazy. 10 P.M., I went and laid down, leaving orders to be called immediately the land was seen again. 11 P.M. sent for the chief officer, who reported nothing in sight. Midnight, called by chief officer, who reported nothing to be seen, and in about ten minutes afterwards I went on deck, but could see nothing. "May 14—About 00.30 A.M. (civil time) gunner reported broken water ahead, and on larboard bow. I ran on deck, and ordered the helm to be put hard a -port. The vessel paid off, but not quickly enough, and struck. No land to be seen, but the broken water was close to. Water under the stern 3 fathoms, under main chain 21, forward 2i fathoms. Furled all sails, lowered the quarter boats, and ran out a stream anchor and hawser to S.E., vessel striking, but not very hard. The bottom I found was sand. Hove taut on the hawser, but finding that the vessel did not move, I commenced to heave rice overboard from fore hold to lighten the vessel forward, she being fretrabaft. About three or half-past, I saw the black toeolbr-sckeeur observed e b hd a , e rt l h 2 teo o c ta m hr miles current west t e f s r t t o o from fe M t broken cliffs' of a cape to the N.E., and knew then largewere bdoaisrtaacnotmaibngoudtow3onOtoyuasrdfrso. from that we were about two miles to southward of Itas athfteerwvaersdssel theyon t c h a e me sta a r lo b n oar s d ide, bo . w an , d had her strongu Muscat c a c t o ; u r st a Aa n ef d st e . r a w s sda t , wa h ye southward,l which,si godamhanytde broke, saw a 'sandy beach ahead, from which we and iin number offered about t o nsassist igs7to. us iThepn ttaking veryianpg fornienddeclyk: out our bower anchor if I paid them. I made several bargains, each rising in price. At last, perceiving that I was losing time, I declined their assistance, and began to put the anchor into our own boat, but this they would not allow, and with their drawn daggers drove the crew from their work. Their numbers were now fast increasing, as they were swimming off from the shore on inflated goats' skins, every one armed with a creese, and some with swords. They now began to show their thievish propensities, the brass belaying pins going one by one. Still they tried to p e r s uade me that they were willing to assist, only they said that the three parties which were on board could ivision of the money, but In not agree about the d ehallah they would get t he vessel afloat. By d de grees they threw oft the mask of friendship, an told us that the ship was theirs, having come ashore on their land, and was a gift from the Almighty to them. I egg begged of them to allow us to work, but their answer was " Wait," and " The ship is ours." Some now went into the galley, where my breakfast was cooking, and seizing the saucepans, to the dismay of the cook, who hid himself, emptied the curry, stew, &c., upon the deck, ate them, and jumped overboard with the saucepan:, and swam to their boats, returning again for any thing else they could get. I never in my life saw such a set of perfectly wild savages. Every time the ill-fated ship struck, they capered about the deck, and yelled like demons, and were answered from the shore by the women (of whom about a hundred had col lected) and by those of the men who could not reach the vessel. They now held long and loud consulta tions, after one of which they cut our hawser, and I knew their diabolical intentions. They then told us that they were determined to have both the vesee and cargo, but that we should be allowed to leave her, and take cur private property, at the same time saying, that on my paying them a thousand dollars, they would get the vessel afloat, and respect all property. I assured them that I had no money on board, which they would not believe. Oae fellow now made a thrust at me with his dagger, on my trying to prevent him from breaking open the cabin doors, but my stepping back, and the others holding his hand, I avoided the blow. They also drew a dagger across the third mate's throat, and asked the chief mate bow he should like his throat cut. ThJ lie 8 gerttp - to - this time (about 9 A.M.) made no water, but they now took the sounding rod from the carpenter, and cut the line in pieces. They now set to work plundering in earnest, but before com mencing, one whom they called Raschid stood upon the rail, and called out Allah Acbar ; the rest all re sponded. The cry was taken up on the beach, and after being told by Raschid to begin, they went to work heartily. All the chests belonging to the lascars and passengers were broken open, and the contents thrown into the boats, and any one who secured a better prize than others was set upon and in his turn plundered. Daggers were drawn and several were wounded, and the deck in many places was dyed with blood. The deck plunder being disposed off, they now had another consultation the purport of which was whether to kill us at once, or wait till night. Our better star prevailed, and we were left till evening, and in the meantime they would commence upon the c abin, which they had hitherto refrain e d from entering. I stood at the larboar d door for a minute or two, trying to persuade them not . .to enter, as there was a woman (the wile of a Moham medan priest, one of the pass enger f s) a d her r children in One of the cabins, but it was no v. went doors and venetians, and in less than five mi nutes every side cabin was broken open. The poor wo man had to run out half-naked, the brutes having taken some of her clothes off, and more than one I hear struck or pushed her. My cabin being locked, they knocked out a panel and entered. The chrona meters were saved by being passed up through the quarter galley window by some of the lascars, and also the barometer. My drawers were nearly smashed to atoms, and all the chests broken open. After the first rush was over I went down to try and save a few clothes; but I was too late, they bad not left a rag to be seen. My books were untouched, under which I found my watch. My papers, letters, &c., were lying strewed about the deck. M oney, sextant, quadrant, pistols, Esc., all gone, Two small drawers had escaped their not ice, in one of which I found a ring, one rupee, one or two little mementos of happy days, and the ship's papers. In the other were some pyjamas, towels, and pillow cases. M y servant had managed to save on 3 shirt, three pair of trousers and two silk coats , which with N what I had on constituted my all. My chief and third mate only saved the clothes they had on. A f ew small articles were strewed about the deck , from whi c h I f picked the most useful, and putinto an old blanket, but a fresh gang came down and took me. One of the secunies c even this from me that they were looking forcame in and told me fast and to force me totell me to make was.
