A . • '...cpSF - r z iflørwin 'lln3 LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 2 3, 1846. Having already recorded the unanimous return of free-trade representatives by the two most extensive constituencies in the kingdom—namely, the West Riding of Yorkshire and the City of London—it is with more than ordinary gratification, that we an nounce a similar proceeding on the part of the next facts staring them in the face, no one will now have the audacity to maintain that the League has not worked marvels on the popular intellect, that an under-current of public opinion has not urged on wards the adoption of free-trade measures, that the people of this country are not animated by sentiments of gratitude towards the statesmen who have con ferred upon them a boon so precious. Although the cautious opinions expressed by Mr. R. H. GREG upon the occasion of this interesting election were unquestionably dictated by a sagacious forethought, we cannot sympathise with that gentleman in all his anticipations as to the disappointments and chagrin which have still to be encountered by the advocates of unre stricted commerce. Our expectations have not a colouring so sombre and lugubrious. We believe that a machine has now been set in motion which human ignorance can never stop, and which all the petty obstacles of a discontented clique can never by possibility retard. Some minor hitches must undoubtedly be felt in the first workings of a machine so colossal, but, saving these, it is con structed upon a principle so noble, so natural, and so symmetrical, that we believe implicitly that the ag gregate of its produce will be found to be—happiness. The new Member for South Lancashire has at once proclaimed his antagonism to the differential duties on sugar, his anxiety to see Ireland treated as an integral part of England, his yearning for a re= organization of the Poor-laws, his interest in the sanitary condition of the populace, and his resolve to facilitate, if possible, their better education. By explaining himself thus candidly and liberally upon so many exigent points of legislation, Mr. BROWS has worthily responded to the feeling of his constituents, and is justifying even in his inaugura tive address the wisdom which has guided them in their selection. Mr. IVILLIAMS deserves much credit for the manner in which he called the attention of the House of Commons, on Monday night, to the present system of naval punishments Most cordially do we agree with him on the improper and undue severity of the entire code, and the imperative necessity that exists for its revision and amendment ; in fact, the articles of war should be altogether remodelled, and an extensive alteration and reform should take place therein. We trust that the opportunity will not be cast away by our liberal Government. By their past conduct they have afforded the strongest testimony that abuses and grievances will not be suffered to continue in force merely because they are ancient, and have had an existence for centuries; and they have it now within their power to sweep away the grossest and most crying evil—the most flagrant in ... fringement on the liberty of the British subject. The entire system of naval impressment is repug. nant to the feeling of every man of common humanity, of every one who thinks that his fellow-man should be treated with common justice. Philanthropi,,ts condemn in the strongest terms the practice of steal ing men and selling them into slavery, and we hope and believe that there are few Britons, certainly not one worthy of the name, who could sanction or support so atrocious a practice , and yet that which excites our deepest indignation and demands and receives our warmest sympathy for the unfortunate victim, when perpetrated on those of other countries, colours, and languages, too frequently takes place within our own dominions, on our fellow-subjects, on British citizens, whose liberty we are bound to protect, without attracting extraor dinary notice, or calling forth any general and indig nant remonstrance, without inflaming the public mind, and producing an universal outcry and demand for its immediate redress. The British sailor, who has been absent for years from his native country, who has, perhaps, just returned with his hardly-earned and well-deserved savings, may at ;the very hour of his arrival be seized and torn from his home and friends, without an opportunity being afforded to him of seeing the one or enjoying the so ciety of the other: in vain may the fond wife expect the cheering presence of the partner of her affections, for whose return she has so anxiously looked forward, so earnestly . prayed. At the very mo ment of his expected presence she hears the bitter tale of his being kidnapped away, and sent, perhaps, for many years to a foreign and unhealthy climate, during which period she may pine under the hope deferred which maketh sick the heart. In vain may the widowed mother look for the return of her gallant boy, to be the comfort and solace of her solitary home; the same inexorable policy has doomed her child to the loss of liberty, to a compulsory service. On what plea or pretext can such acts be tolerated or justified for a single mome n t ? Solely on the imperative neces sity there exists for the maintenance of our naval power, of procuring men for our vessels I It has been said, and we believe truly—the autho rity of the gallant and distingui%hed officer by whom it was asserted compels our belit-f--that if we wanted at this moment to man five or six vessels of war, we largest constituency in Great Britain, namely, the constituency of South Lancashire. The electors of this most important locality assembled yesterdly at Newton, and returned, not merely unopposed, but acclamation, as ti eir representative in Parlia ment, Mr. WILLIAM BROWN, whose name is so honourably associated with the demonstrations for commercial emancipation made at Manchester and Liverpool. Did any uncertainty exist in the minds of individuals as to the intellectual efficacy of the League —as to the popular opinion having under gone a thorough transformation on the subject of political economy—as to the irresistible under-current of public opinion having safely borne the vessel of commerce over the sandbanks and breakers of monopoly, by which it was hitherto surrounded and endan gered—as to the satisfaction, and not only the satisfac tion, but the gratitude with which the English people have watched the recent proceedings of their states men—that uncertainty would be altogether dispelled by the attendant circumstances of each successive election. These circumstances we have already had the gratification of particularising in a variety of in stances. We have, as evidenced in the re-election of Viscount MORPETM, observed the passive, and the more earnest, because the more passive, unanimity of an enfranchised community, seated in deliberate tranquillity under the shadow of roofbeams, and re turning—unhesitatingly and earnestly—a free-trade candidate as the exponent of their opinions in the House of Commons. We have observed these things, and have meanwhile borne in recollection the fact that those identical constituencies were wont, formerly, to assemble in uproarious multitudes out of doors, to elect, in that same responsible capa city—sometimes with opposition, sometimes without opposition—the upholder of the most stringent system of miscalled protective imposts. Such are the moral changes which have transpired even within our own immediate recollection—changes as startling and as impressive in their operation upon the intellect of a whole nation as the alterations effected in the material crust of this globe by volcanic eruptions and convulsions. Geology does not unfold to us a more astonishing series of phenomena than that disclosed by history in the intellectual and political fluctuations of COJCU man 6Le accu racy of this notion, that we are persuaded the advo cates of the protective system will, before many years have rolled away, be regarded with some such cu riosity and astonishment as an Ichtllyosaurus and a Megatherium—monsters of a by-gone age—to be labelled in the compartments of a museum ! Almost equally striking, we repeat it, are the transformations observable in the annals of geology and of political history. Of this circumstance no more comlusive evidence could be adduced than that afforded by the election of Mr. BROWN for South Lancashire. When it is remembered that this constituency was only vacated by the elevation of its Tory represen tative to the House of Peers—that this identical free-trade candidate, Mr. BROWN, was formerly re jected by this identical constituency—that it had hitherto through its Parliamentary mouthpiece en deavoured to perpetuate the despotism of monopoly— and that now Mr. BROWN appealed to them for their suffrages, after having been entreated so to do by a requisition enforced by the signatures of considerably more than half of the entire consti tuency—when these remarkable circumstances are borne in mind, and coupled with others of a similar character which have transpired in various quarters of Great Britain, no one will deny the accuracy of our original position. With these irrefragable TAE SUN, LONDON, rtrunsuAy ISfqR NINO, .I"ti UT SO, 1846. been restored in that navy. Have we heard any complaints from the French people of the in 1..... ..... possibility of maintaining discipline in their navy? In the American navy no man can be flogged save by the sentence of a court-martial, and the Ame- rican navy may challenge a comparison with any in the universe. Nay, many of our own best and most skilful sailors have sought and obtained employment in their service; and why ? because there is.a security for the well-disposed man, who will perform his duty fairly and truly. There must be at least the form of a trial, and an opportunity afforded of being heard in his own defence, before he is degraded. We trust that these considerations will not be lost on the Legislature and the country, but that a loud and earnest demand for justice to our army and navy will produce the total and. entire abolition of the cat. " Delenda est Carthago." The lash, with all its degrading incidents, must be banished from both branches of our service. Letters from Alexandria announce that MEHEMET Au, accompanied by his son-in-law, KAMIL PACHA and his grandson MUSTAPHA Bar, sailed from that port on the 9th instant, on board the Turkish steamer Esseri Djedid, for Constantinople. His grandson ABBAS PACHA, was to administer the Government until the return of IBRAHIM PACHA. It is said that the Bey of Turns intends to insti tute a Council of State, to advise in all civil, coin mercial, and criminal matters. Intelligence has been received from Constantinople of the 6th. Sir STRATFORD CANNING had remon strated very seriously with the Porte on the con duct of the authorities at Smyrna, who had denied the British Consul justice against the murderers of Sir LAURENCE JONES, by refusing to take the evi dence of the witnesses to the murder, who were Christians, against the murderers, who were Turks. The Porte assured Sir STRATFORD CANNING that Tull justice should be done, and that the testimony of the Christian witnesses should be taken. The Nurcmburg Correspondent states that the brother of M. METENDORFF has been entrusted with a mission to negotiate a treaty of commerce between France and Russia, and is about to proceed to Paris for that purpose. We extract the following from the Augsburg G azttte "It has been latterly reported that the King intended to effect great political reforms, but such is not the case. Ike Majesty merely proposes to reform certain branches of the alministration. Counts Ferri and Ilandelli, and other dis contented parties, have been dis Missed from the army, and the famous D'Are having been ordered to quit the kingdom. the uneasiness felt on the one hand, and the exaggerated hopes entertained on the other, will be removed." The Danish journals of the 11th inst. contain an important declaration of the King of DENMARK on the subject of the succession, which has been for so long a time in agitation. His 111aJEsTr declares that the rights of the Crowdfover the Duchy of Lanenbourg are incontestible. As to the Sleswig doubt is no longer possible, and the KING brings forward in proof the act of August 22, 1721, tile guaran tees given by England and France on June 14 and 23, 17 9 1, and the treaties concluded with Russia on April 22, 1767, and June 1, 1773. The KING is far from being so explicit on the subject of Holstein. Ile admits that there are circumstances which pre vent his declaring himself so positively. Ile reserves to himself to give an opinion at a future period, but promises that the privileges of the Duchies of Sleswig and of Holstein shall be respected. The Madrid lhado prapiers, the g o thef o l r st a h nof have _N been lvA iu, received. rz,has a n article on the QUEEN'S marriage, recommending that the future husband of the QUEEN should be a Spa nish Prince, with lib era l i deas. This must allude to Don ENRIQUE, whose claims have hitherto been strenuously opposed by NARYAEZ Don ENRIQUE has left Brussels for Liege. During his stay at Brussels he received every attention from the Royal Family, and was visited by the Por.e's Nuncio and by the Sardinian Envoy. It is said that the KING of the FRENCH is .not disinclined to support the pretensions of Don ENRIQUE. These papers publish news from Portugal, an nouncing that a'pronunciamiento had taken place at Coimbra against the PALNIELLA Ministry, The Civic Guards of the various Portuguese towns are about to be considerably augmented. The Three per Cents. were done at 33% for cash; the Five per Cents., at 20*;74 ; the I?eht without Interest, at ; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando, at 390 ; and those of Isabel, at 200. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. There was almost a panic in the Share Market on Monday, caused by the intelligence that a portion of the unfinished Orleans and Vierzon Railroad, near Orleans, had sunk on Saturday night. No lives were lost in consequence of the aceident, but it will retard the opening of the line considerably. The German emigrants, who have returned from America in a state of destitution, and who were landed a short time since at Dunkirk, are to be con- could not de so in less then five or six mcntbs. What can be the reason of this unwillingness to serve ? What is it that renders our navy difTereet from every other branch of the public service, the exeeption to c wry ether mode of' employment, in which there is en abundant supply of labour fully adequate to the demand ? It is not the privation, and difficulties, the dangers that must be encountered in so perilous a vocation. No; the hardihood, the bravery, of the British tar forbids the in jurious supposition. It is the deep, the burn ing sense of injustice, that renders him un willing to engage in a service in which he would be daily subjected to the degradation of being lashed like a dog before his friends and ship• mates, at the mere whim and caprice of a heartless and tyrannical despot. His innocence of any offence, his anxiety to do his duty to the best and utmost of his ability, nay, the perfect and entire discharge of that duty, may all be insufficient to save him from the brutalising and hor rible flagellation. He may be tied up without an opportunity of saying one word in his own defence, and receive forty-eight lashes, inflicted by a brawny and stalwart boatswain's mate, or rather boatswain's mates ; for we believe that they are changed at every dozen lashes on such occasions. What slavery is worse this ?—the slave owner pays too large a price for the unhappy being whose destinies are committed to his hands to make him willing to deprive himself of the valuable services during the sojourn in hospital of his victim. It would be too expensive an amusement to be frequently indulged in, but such is not the case with the captain ; he can spare the man from his labour for a season. The Secretary for the Navy whose anxiety for the amelioration of the condition of the sailor, and desire to do everything in his power to induce them to love the ser vice, and willingly to enter therein we are happy to acknowledge, states that the severity of the discipline, the practice of flogging, has been very materially relaxed; for that, while 2,000 men out of 34,000 were flogged in the year 1839, 1,200 only out of 40,000 were lashed in the year 1845. Good GOD ! can this be the mitigated system of which Lkiey 1.10413 L, against wilitai a wora is not to be spoken, or complaint uttered, when in the very last year, 1,200 English sailors withered beneath the brutal and brutalising cat—no less than three per cent. on the entire number employed ? Can it be wondered at that the press-gang is necessary, that the navy cannot be manned without force, when so large a proportion is subjected to such a punishment ? But, forsooth, the discipline of the service cannot be en forced, the safety of the vessel cannot be secured un less such a power is placed in the hands of the corn msnder. We wholly and entirely dissent from, and enter our protest against such an opinion, although we doubt not it is conscientiously main tained and honestly put forward by many humane and honourable men. There are many means of enforcing obedience, of securing the performance of the duty, without having recourse to so horrible an alternative. It is well known that Lord NELSON abhorred flogging, and never resorted to it but in extreme cases. Can it be said that the crews serving under his command did not well discharge the duty they owed to their country ? It was abolished by NAPOLEON both in the army and navy of France. Can it be said that he did not know how to secure obedience, or what was necessary for its enforcement ? It has not since CLOSIN( PltIC ES. •• .. .. 261,14 25f. 80c 59% 94 PRICES OF .

' ELECTRO MAGNETISM AT LENGTII APPLIED TO RAILWAYS.—The anticipated application of the power o f electro-:magnetism app li ed to ra i lwa y lccomotion is beginning to :how itself in a practical form, at least, whether prac ticable or not in the present instance. Taylor and Condor's patent invention consists in " the application of electro-magnetic power to what is comm only known by the name of the a t mosp h er i c s ystem of railway propul i • sion, n order to connect the piston carriage of a train with the driving piston within the tube;" and this is done through a series of e lectro-magnets of course acting attractively on a parallel series of 4r. matures with iron, in the interior of the tube, and projecting through the slit; which , however, is covered air-tik;lit with "copper, brass. or some other sot stance not suscepti We of the electro-magnetic influence," and, therefore, offers little or no obstacle to the electro magnetic induction between the exterior ulagnets and the interiQr axalatures.— The lluilder. veyed coloniits to Algeria by the Fren.,:b Govern meat.

Intelligence of the death of Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL was, it is understood, received in town yesterday. This melancholy event will, of course, cause the tonpo rary retirement of Lord JOHN RUSSELL from his official duties. As there is much speculation afloat respecting the degree of support which the Ministerial Sugar Scheme is likely to receive, we have good reason for informing our readers that Sir Hubert Peel intends to strengthen the hands of the Government, with regard to the main features of their proposition. This will be in accordance with the assurance he conveyed in his retiring address from office, and though in taking this course he may not have the sup port of one or two of his late colleagues,. vet the broad intellect, high character, and merited influence of Sir h. Peel will materially stimulate the Ministeri a l hopes of success. We rejoice to think that the Cabinet are likely to be thus ably sPcon&d. MONEY and CONLMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool, yesterday, was firm, sales 4,000 bales. Shares were much the same. The further intelligence received to-day from India con firms to the fullest extent what has already been stated under this head as to the dullness of the markets, and the adequate supply to meet the wants of our Asiatic consumers for some time to come.

We confess that it is difficult to arrive at a conclusion as to the result of th ee difficulties between this republip s urf sk. T a r n " ; A t i c.--;sub version of the present order of things, and an abject submis sion to the Washington Cabinet, seems almost inevitable. The avoidance of such a cldnouernent must be the result of chance, not patriotism or strength, for even a foreign inva sion has failed to impart either. There are accounts to July 2 from New York. The Cabi net of President Polk seems likely to remain without further changes of any interest during the present sitting of Con gress. The commerce of New York was, upon the whole. in a satisfactory state. From Canada there are favourable reports of the growing crops. The colonists anticipate, seemingly, much more harm from free-trade measures than is ever likely even to threaten them, as a short experience, it may be trusted, will serve to prove. The discouut market has been steady, and there does not seem to be a probability of money becoming cheaper, for the present at least, teeing that the rate of interest is yet much lower than in some of the large continental cities.

Wo are: e: - Ablei (by our Extraordinary Express) to add, to-day, inaoy higt ly important articles of intelligence from mia and China, to those published in the Morning Herald yesterday and in our Second Edition on Monday. We are ow in possession of Calcutta papers of dates up to, and in cluding, the 3d of June. We have also intelligence from Loodiunah dated May 21, from Agra of May 24, and from Delhi of May 24. A fearful accident had occurred during a hurricance at Loodianah on the 20th of May. The barracks there were blown clown, and 84 men, women, and children of her Ma jesty's 50th Regiment had perished; 133 have been wounded, and four privates are missing. The Calcutta Englishman of the Ist June states that the 21st of May had been fixed for the surrender of Kangra. The place, it is said, will be given up unconditionally. The ship Bombay Castle had been destroyed by fire on the 28th of May, at Saugur. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT LOODIANAH. (From the Agra Chronicle Extra, May 24.) " LOODIANAII, MAY 21.—Melancholy and low-spirited I sit down to write to you. Loodianah is now mourning under the anger of the Lord ; eighty-six souls were hurried into eternity in an instant, last night. The victims are men, women, and children of her Majesty's 50th Regiment. We bad a very heavy storm of dust, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning at about six last evening. The wind blew with terrific violence tor a time, and it seemed to concentrate its vi , lence on the mud or kucha brick barracks of tier Majesty's 50th Regiment. The 6th company barracks first fella vlc tin, to the fury of the elements, and within five minutes of its fall every other barrack shared its fate, th e on l y parts saved of the whose nine buildings were the ends, i. c., the sir geart quarters; they, having some supports inside, with stood the storm. "It seems the barracks have been built on a new principle. It is urged they were only temporary buildings, run up hastily to shelter the regiment. Be it so; but as they h ave been standing more than two seasons, it is to be feared that good solid brick barracks would not have been thought of again, though originally designed, had not these been blown down. This is an awful proof of toe penny-wise and pound foolish system. I never witnessed so awful a scene of dm lation and death as the barracks presented this morning. That part of the station looked desolate enough before. Tle Seikhs having destroyed the roofs of several bungalows and one splendid-looking hospi al, even these tilled you with gloom when you lookei at them ; but to them you have now to add nine barracks, and the recol:ection that numbers of human beings nave perished in the ruins. At: officer of the 50th has just been with rue, and has given me the last return ofkilled and wounded up to eleven 45 men killed f women (Imo 20 children ditto 115 men wounded UR,/ 5 children ditto 79 • I 127 This shows a return of 210 killed and wounded, including four men missing. I much fear we shall find more dead bodies, and of the wounded sonic must ultimately sink under their injuries. One or two hare had their spines injured, some have broken arms and thighs, B ,, me broken legs!" (From another Letter.) " Yesterday evening we lid a terrible storm of wind and rain; rll havo suffered more or less, but the loss in her Maje, ty's 50th has been great and fatal. Their barracks and one hospital came down. Larkins, Blackall, and others, accompanied me with pioneers, coolies, &c., to assist in dig g ing out those who have been crushed in the ruins. On coming up to the place the sight was mo=t painful. Body atter body was exhumed, some only more orless crippled, but the majority dying or dead. Our greatest labours were at the married men's quarters, as from the helpless state of many of the inmates more lives were lost here than elsewhere. It was most shocking to see what I did at this place. Women of all ages, from 40 down to 17 and 18 years of age, cliPdren from 2 and 13 down to earliest infancy, all lay in a mass of ruins, silent and motionless as the dust that covered them. A wife was bitterly bemoaning her husband and one son, eho had been dug out, while her second son was not yet . . Cound—shortly he too was discovered as dead as the others. A liti=band, half frantic, called on his wife and children, who lay buried under his feet. Similar scenes were occurring hourly all down the :Ilse of ruins." (From the Delhi Gazette Ertra, May 24.) " As it is desb-able that our coutemporaries should obtain correct information of a most calamitous ivcident at Loodianah, we deem it right to circulate, for their informa tion, the following brief account of the facts, leaving more detailed accounts for Wednesday's issue :—On the after noon of the 20th instant, a fearful storm passed over the station, and during the same the violence of the wind became so tremendous, that in less than five minutes the whole of the barracki of her Majesty's 50th Foot, to gether with the hospital, were levelled to the ground, bury. ing man, woman, and children in the ruins. It is quite won derful any of the poor creatures escaped, but the loss of life and the number of wounded are distressing in the extreme. Of the truth of this remark, the fdlowing frightful return will afford the most melancholy evidence : "Killed-1 sergeant,3 corporals,l drummer, 45 privates, 14 women, 20 children. Total, 84. " Wounded-3 sergeants, 5 corporals, 118 privates, 4 women, 5 children. Total, 1.15. " Still Missin, —4 privates. The loss of life in the villages adjoining Loodianah is said :o have-been,very great. We shall h ave remar k s to ma k e on :hjs' painful illbjett on Wednesday." LOSS OP THE BOMBAY CASTLE BY FIRE. THE NORTII-WEST PROVINCES. We learn from Lucknow that one of the teginients in the service of his Majesty the King of Oude has been refrac tory. Our letters state that 4 1 on the night of the 17th, the 2.3 d and 46th Regiments of Native Infantry were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to proceed on service, and that on the morning of the 18th the betore-tnentioned regiments, together with some artillery, marched out of the station, under Brigadier Webber, in order to bring the refractory corps to their senses. It appears, however, that long before they reached the spot where their services were likely to be required, the refractory corps had taken to their heels, leay. ing their arms and six large guns behind them," It is said (hut our correspondent does not vouch for the accuracy of the rumour) that the non-payment of arrears of pay was the cause of the outbreak. The force under Brigadier Webber returned to cantonments at seven o'clock t,n the morning of the lBth, the date of our letter. /f/ofassilite, May 22. Otders have been issued to some of the regiments on the frontier to detach recruiting parties to the victuity'of Kangra, to pick up Hill Rajpoots, who are aid to be found there in considerable numbers, and most ready to take service. Th ey are supposed to be, as in Kumaon, descendants of the Rai poots driven from the plains in former days. These p art i es are directed to complete the ten men per company allo we d to corps on the frontier. Many regiments had previousl y sent detachments to beat up for - recruits in those parts of the country whence such we usually derived. The Jullunder parties are to receive their instructions from the political of ticers in the new territory.--Delhi Gazette ; May 23. In consequence of the paucity of Government notifications to this date, we have omitted our usual supplement.

Ensign Charles Frederick Browne to be Lieutenant, with out purchase, vice Gough, deceased, 23d April, 1846. 8. His Excellency has been pleased to ante-date the com mission of Major General Aitchison, by brevet, in the East Indies only, to the 10th of January, 1837. 9. Those distinguished regiments, the 16th Lancers and 31st Foot, are about to return to their native country after a service in India, the former of 24 and th e l a tt er o f 21 years, and although the Commander. in-Chief has recently and so frequently had occasion to laud the gallant conduct of these corps before an intrepid enemy, he cannot permit them to embark without again expressing his admiration of their continued and conspicuous bravery in all the battles they have been ethgsged in during this long and eventful period of their Indian service, whether in Affghanistan, or the more sanguinary conflicts of 1845-46. These brave regiments may be assured they will be re ceived in their native land by every demonstration of that patriotic feeling which gallant exploits ensure from their countrymen._ The - 16th Lancers have added to their standards:— " lilitirtport, AfFgbanistan, Ghuznie, Maharajpore, Aliwal, and Sobraon ;" and the 31st Regiment will have recorded on their already highly decorated colours : " Caubul, Moodkee, Forozestiah, Aliwal, and Sobraon.” Again must Lord Gough express the gratification it affords him thus to be able to record his opinion of their merits; and both these corps are assured their correct conduct in quarters, and almost total absence of crime for many years have mainly conduced to the gallant achievements.in the field their good fortune has afforded them the opportunity to contribute to. That every happiness and welfare may hereafter attend these regiments ta the Commander-in-Chief's ardent desire, '-tor he must ever feel the warmest interest in the career of such highly-distioguished regiments. The Commander-in-Chief congratulates the two officers, Lieutenant-Colonel M•vowell, and, Lieutenant-Colonel Spence, who accompanied their regiments to India nearly a quarter of a century ago, upon now having the honour and gratification of corn funding them, after such distinguished service:, on their return to their native land. Lieutenant- Colonel M'Dowell has never left India since his first arrival. to hear that James Burt, Esq., surgeon of her Majesty's 1616 r —ftneerp, died yesterday ut cholera. at the Royal Wracks in Fort William.—Calcutta Englishman, May 28. (From the Calcutta Star, of May 30.) The Semaphore Report of Thursday evening, announced the less by lire of the ship Bombay Castle, off Saugur an choring buoy, of which melancholy occurrence we are now enabled ta give the following account, with which we have been obligingly favoured by a gentleman who was on board:— " Having just arrived from Saugur by the Lion steamer, I address you with a view to give a true statement of facts relative to the loss of the ship Bombay Castle, which was destroyed by fire off Saugur Point this morning, being made public, and something like justice done to the exertions of Captain Fraser and his officers, at the same time that the loss of the vessel is made known. The first alarm of fire was given at about a quarter to twelve on the night of the 27th (Wednesday), and upon coming upon deck he found the ship was, on fire on the gun deck close to the main hatch, but this, owing to the excellent arrangements of Captain FraSer and his officers, well seconded by the exer tions of the crew (Chinamen and Lascars), was speedily got under. " Shartly after this it was discovered that the vessel was also on fire forward, close to the chess trees; and the deck was immediately scuttled to allow of water being poured upon the burnihg part. "All exertions were used to subdue the fire, but the las cars becaMe so alarmed at the progress of the flames that the co.itrol' exercised by the officers was much weakened, though they continued to exert themselves in every manner that could be looked for front British sailors. Seeing how desperate all eudeavouis to save the ship must prove, as the flames were rushing through the main hatchway—the cap tain ordered one of the quarter-Boats to be launched, and the women and children put on board. Thanks to the excel lent arrangements which had previously furnished the boats with oars, rudders, Bte., this was done with comparatively little difficulty, and the boat safely delivered her freight on board the Ellen, of London, which was, with several other vessels, anchored near the spot where the Bombay Castle was lying. " Altnost immediately after the boat had left the vessel the lascars were in the fore part of the ship (commu nication with the stern being by this time cut off by the flames), launched the joliy-boat t:ver the bows, out she was almost immediately swamped by the rush made to get on board her. Others attempted to get away on spars and such rafts as individuals on the spur of the moment could frame— and it is to be feared that utany, if not most, of these pe rished, but the number had not, when I left the spot, been ascertained. Signals of distress had been made as soon as the fire forward was discovered, at.d those of the vessels near at hand who had bo:its ready for the emergency, sent them to aid in bringing off the people. " The Cove sent two boats and the Duke one for the pur pose, and were the means of saving many lives by their exer tuns. Captain Ft aser and some of his officers remained on board till the deck was burning benea h their feet, and quitted the vessel only when every one that could be removed had been duly cared for. It is impossible to say too much of their self-devotion and gallantry throughout. " Mr.' Childs, the with his leadsman, Mr. Smyth. showed themselves as cool, zealous, and energetic as men could possibly be. Mr. Childs, who left the vessel is the first boat immediately on reaching the Ellen, called for a volunteer crew of British sailors, which was instantly fur nished from the gallant fellows on board—and returned with them to aid in bringing away the people from the burning wreck. " Every hospitality and attention were shown to the suf ferers by the vessels which receiv , :d them ; but when were these wanting from Brithl sailors to those in distress? " The Bombay Castle, at 3, 4 a.m., was one mass of flame, and at a quarter -past three the masts fell in succesion over the side, and she drifted from her anchors down upon the Gaspar land. Shortly before taking the ground she blew up—the exp:osion destroying about one-third of the vessel — what remained of her continued to burn till dayligat, when I carne away. " Nothing has been saved beyond the clothes which each hurriedly put on when the alarm of fire was given—the ship's papers an d a f ew i ns t rume nts which Captain Fraser brought away alone excepted. " Had we been enabled to proceed to sea, which :he state of the weather prevented, nothing humanly speaking, could have saved us; but it pleased God to allow us to be over taken by the misfortune where aid was at hand, and we h ave ever% reason to be grateful to Him who has pr eserve d so many lives under such awful circumstances." CALCUTTA. ,We are now in possession of Calcutta papers to the &1 June. We take from them the following important ex• tracts : We regret to learn that the ship Mariam, from Calcutta, with coolies, arrived at Mauritius with the small-pox on board. She was placed in quarantine, and instant measures were being adopted to land her passengers and crew under proper precaution.—Englishman, June 1. The following is from Jullundur, tinted the 21st ultimo:— " From letters received 3 esterday, to day, the 211 , , I believe is the day fixed for the surrender of Kot Kangra. The trarrison at first wished to be allowed to march out with all the honours of war, but their request was refused, and I believe the place is to be given up unconditionally. A circular was sent round to the different corps, wishing to know if the sepoys objected to receiving their pay in the Nanukshahee rupees. I believe the honour has been gene rally declined. We have had some very heavy falls of rain during the last day or two, accomp inied with thunder, so much so that if it had not been so early in the season, I should have fancied the bursat had re. Ally set in. The regi ments in the Jullundur have also been directed to recruit, 10 men a company, from the Rajpoots residing in she hill stairs, lately taken possession of by us; and this, I think, is a very judir:ious measure."—Rid. Mr. Siinins has reported most favourably on a great line of railway from Calcutta to Delhi, and he has estimated its -ost at 15.000,0001. sterling. How is such a sum to be raised ? Not all at once, but portions of the line might be completed, and would undoubtedly yield a handsome return, and thus a few years might suffice for the completion of one of the most important communications in the world, whether it be consi dered politically or commercially. The continued scarcity of money has stagnated trade all over the country, and at present there is no appearance of relief from any quarter. The usual supplies of silver from China have failed, and the latest accounts from that country prove that it is perfectly bare of the precious metals. The oative merchants and bankers here appear quite as much dis tressed as others, and some failures have taken place among them in the interior of the country, which have made them still more cautious and wary. Among European houses we have only had one failure, that of the oldest firm of auctioneers in India, Messrs. Tulloh and Co. Their debts amount to about 18 lacs of rupees. The prospects of our planters have somewhat improved since our last dispatch, as rain has fallen abundantly in many parts of the country, and those who have taken pains to pro cure information now estimate the coming crop at 120,000 maunds. The grain crops have been deficient in many parts of the country, and prices continue unusually high, which may b e one cause of the general scarcity of money. Indeed, we nave seen this expressly sta:ed in the letters of native merchants in the interior, which mention the large sums diverted from other uses by the high price of food.— Englishman, June 3. We are informed that an officer of one of her Majesty's regiments is now under arrest in this fort, under a charge of forgery. The signatures of no less than seven officers have been forged, of which the Agra bank has been defrauded of about 4,000 rupees.—lbid.

It would appear by the following extracts from a private letter, receixed by this morning's post, that there has been boisterous weather at the Sandheads:— " Sandheads, May 26, 1846.—We have had the weather very boisterous outside, especially on Friday, the 22d. It blew a perfect hurricane for about twelve hours. My vessel was completely buried in the sea, which was making a fair breach right over her, but, thanks to the Almighty, 1%13 re• ceived no damage. only. of the pilot vessels lust their an chors, besides sustaining other damage."

We have been favoured with the following extract of a private letter from an officer at Loodianah on the subject of the late awful catastrophe there:— " I have just now returned from a scene of woe and horror, perhaps more painful than any which the recent battles pre sented. Loodianah was yesterday visited by a tremendous storm. The whole of the barracks occupied by her Ma jesty's 50th Regiment were laid prostrate, burying beneath their ruins 88 men, women, and children, and wounding 135 others, many in a shocking manner. I was on the court of inquest. and the dead-house presented a scene of desolation not easily described. Mutilated and blackened corpses lying on the floor; men, -women, and children bemoaning over a wife, husband, and parent. It was a heartrending sight. The barracks were of kutcha materials, hastily run up two years ago, as temporary accommodation for European troops, but no others, it seems, were in contemplation to supply their place. We are all desirous to hear that a similar cala mity has not befallen the 62d Regiment, at Ferozepore, where the buildings are of similar materials. We have not yet received any news from Kot Kangra. WheeAr crossed the Beyah on the 19th, and heavy firing was heard yesterday, so it may be that the garrison holds out still. The f ir i ng was heard by the people at Nakodin. We are too distant to hear at Loodianah."—lbid. GENERAL ORDERS.—QUEEN'S TROOPS, HEAD-QUARTERS, SIMLA. 23d May.-1. Hor Majesty has been pleased to appoint Major-General Sir H. G.
