EMIGRATION STATISTICS. r - Every city, town, village, and hamlet in the kingdom now Partielbates in an enterprising spirit of Colonial Emigration. The accent - its from Australia and other places continue to, buoy up the ardent hopes of industrious advkuturers : rich soil, healthy climates, cheap land, and valuable mines, are unquestionably advantages of the most important character. To particularise how many have al-, ready Crossed the great ocean would be useless ; every day the tide flows from all parts, and preparations are making by immense num bers. Very few Emigrants are acquainted with the articles most necessary for their passage, or know what clothing and utensils will be most useful for them in far distant countries. The incredible amount of Business E. MOSES & SON have dispatched in the Outfitting Department, and the many years ex perience they have had in preparing at ticles for Emigrants to every part of the world, has given them the entire plre - e minence in the Outfitting Branch, s-1‘ - Emigrants should apply to E. MOSES & SON for their Outlit-stheir superiority is universally admitted—their suitability for any country is guaranteed—and their prices are lower than at any other House in the World. The Emigrant like wise saves much valuable time by selecting his Outfit at E. MOSES & SON'S, their extensive trade in that line inducing them to keep a department in their Gigantic Establishment expressly devoted to the arrangement of Outfits ler any part of the Universe. OUTFITS can be forwarded to any part of the Kingdom on re ceipt of a remittance. E. MOSES and SON supply them for 31. 155., 61. 15c. lit. 115., and upwards.

Before thecorrect particulars of the riot were known, themost extraordinary rumours and reports were in circulation through the city. Thetanxiety and excitement caused" by those reports were greatly increased when a large body of infantry, consisting of detachments of the - Ist . Royals and 90th infantry, were seen advancing towards the workhouse at double quick time, and in a few minutes after a troop of the 7th Dragoons with drawn sabres came galloping on in the same direction. On arriving at the workhouse, the military were formed opposite the building, the central gate was thrown open, and the dragoons charged from the centre gate down the avenue leading to the board-room, followed by the infantry at double quick pace. It appears that about two o'clock, yesterday, two men, name d H ou l a h an an d Cor coran, were employed as S entr i es at ono o f t h e gates, when it was discovered that th ey b ad o b ta i ne d a bottle of whisky, which they smu gg l e d i n throug h an aper ture in the wall, that had been made to prepare for a now building. The ward-Master found the whisky on the person of one of the men and endeavoured to take it from him, but he refused to give it up, and the mas ter was informed of the transaction. The master went into the dining hall, where those men were at dinner with several hundreds of the inmates,. and, after repri manding them for their conduct, demanded the whisky; the men refused to give it up, and after some words had ensued, Corcoran struck the master, ariclalso attempted to strike theewandamoter...•-•Wkeelleaster gunkailit,the , gni - 410, and - sent to the Douglas station for the police, in order, to have the parties r em oved from the workhouse, and informations sworn against them. In a short 'time after Constable Browne and two men of . the - Douglas station arrived at the workhouse; informations were drawn out, and the police went to arrest the 'two men, who had retired to their divi sion, The police were accompanied by the master and storekeeper, and when they arrived 'at the part of the buildings where they expected to meet the offenders, they found several hundred persons, men, women, and chil dren, assembled ready to receive them.. One of the offen ders, in the first instance, named Houlahan, stood on the wall in a threatening attitude, defying the police to come on, and, as they advanced, he struck constable Browne on the head, and inflicted a severe and dangerous wound upon him. This was the signal for a general attack upon the police and offioers of the house; stones were thrown in all directionse and the police and master were obliged to retreat instantly into the lodge under the board room. The doors were quickly closed and secured, an attack was made upon the building, the mob outside loudly threatened. to take the life of the master, and it was only after the police had . loaded their guns and threatened to fire upon them that they desisted for some time. Ia retreating from the attack of the rioters, the storekeeper (Mr. M'Corinick) fortunately sought refuge. in the porter's lodge, which adjoins . the main entrance on the road. The mob theft commenced rapidly to increase; they were joined by, several of the shied-bodied men, and some of the worst characters amongst the women; and seeing that, momentarily, matters were becoming more threatening and dangerous in appearance, the storekeeper proceeded to town, and waited upon Inspector Walker, to whom he communicated the state of things at the workhouse. Mr. Walker directed that the constabulary of the different stations should be im mediately equipped and proceed to the workhouse. A party of police, under the command of head constable Crowley, accompanied by three mounted policemen, quickly arrived, and the gates were partially op ene d, when Mr. Sheehy, Mr. Roche, Mr. Shea, and Inspector Walker entered the yard, with the view of remon strating with the people, and, if possible, pacifying them without the employment of force. They advanced some distance down the avenue when a shower of stones stopped their further progress, and compelled them to, make an instant retreat. Mr. Walker was struck severely, and the other gentlemen were slightly, struck. At this time there were at least 700 men, women, and children assembled in the yard, but principally strong, healthy, and able-bodied women—all of whom appeared to be labouring under the most ex treme anger and excitement, shouting, screeching, and yelling, amidst all of which the master appeared to be the particular object of their hostility. From the abundance of stone that exists in the workhouse yard, a large portion of which was quarried for the buildings recently erected, the people were, unfortunately, plentifully provided with stones, of which they seemed determined to make the most vigorous use. When they saw the determined re sistance that was offered to Mr. Sheehy and the other gentlemen, the police, who were drawn up outside the gate, charged the mob with fixed bayonets, and after receiving another volley of stones succeeded in clearing the place for a moment - and driving the rioters into their wards, the doors of which were locked upon them. Some o f the women stoo d their ground until they were t ramp l ed upon by the mou nted policemen, and others r e f used to policemen had to bring the butts of their muskets to bear upon them. Several of the police were struck with stones, one or two of them were severel cut about the head, and one of the mounted ' y Pollee was nearly un horsed by the blow of a -stone received on the breast. The result of this charge Was the arrest of six of give way until the the ringleaders, who were placed in custody until the r a e n in d fo a r li ce t re ho en f t o o re f e po i l o ic s e id a e r rt i hv disturbance had, finally ceased.

A large number of inmates are commencing to show a dis position to renew the riot, and the greatest excitement prevails inside and outside the workhouse. " Up to three o'clock to-day the excitement had not in the least degree abated, but, on the contrary, con tinued to increase. Mr. Sarsfield, vice - chairman, in passing down towards the body of the house, about one o'clock, was struck in the face and cut by a stone. A party of dragoons was sent for about twelve o'clock, and at present the rioters are kept in check by an ire infantry and posing force of cavalry, constabulary." " Give honour to their memories, who left the pleasant strand, To risk their lives so freely for the love of fatherland; Who left their chance of quiet age and grassy church yard grave, So freely', for a restless bed amid the tossing wave." But whilst lamenting the dead, let us not omit to do justice to the living. We congratulate Mr. Richards, the brave lad to whose custody was committed the helpless women and children, whorl ho guarded so well; and Mr. Renwick, the assistant en gineer, whose evidence has thrown so much light on the state of the ship after striking, and w© have no doubt the Lords of the Admiralty will express their congratulations in a more agreeable form. Let them only have the opportunity to distinguish them selves, and we predicate they will do no discredit to the uni form which each bas preserved untarnished throughout a scene well calculated to try the most matured bravery and skill. The Assistant-Surgeon has had cause to com plain; sooth to say it, Mr. Cullum has had great cause to complain. In a letter written—hastily, we should hope—by one of 'the survivors, it was stated incautiously, to use no more stringent phrase, that " Dr. Culhane got into one of the gigs, and then made the best of his way to But river, rowed there by eight of the crew." The plain inference from this is, that the selfish Doctor, having properly wrapped up, got into the'boat and ordered the crew to row direct to the nearest landing-place. Such an inference would be *WO-falser for the premises have _fortanstelyt for the person misrepresented, not the slightest foundation in fact. Dr. , Culhane left the sinking ship, sans everything save his shirt and cap, and was pulled out of the wat3r at some distance from the wreck. After this he spent about twelve hours in pursuit of a schooner, which fail ing to overtake he made for land, not to save or spare himself, but to send succour to others. From two o'clock on one morning till nine o'clock on the morning of the following day, there was no rest for the sole of his foot. The frame which could have borne up under twelve hours' exertion on the open sea, all but naked, under a scorching sun, and 100 miles of riding across a strange country, must have bees sustained by extraordinary perseverance and undaunted pluck.—Plymouth Times and Naval Gazette , THE AGAPEMONE NEAR BRIDGE WATER. Some curious stories are current respecting this place. It is said.that Mr. Prince, the founder, on a recent oc casion, drove up to the Castle Inn, at Taunton, in the carriage-and-four which belonged to the , late Queen Adelaide, and which he has purchased for his own private use. A servant at the door of the inn warned off some idlers standing in the way with the words, " Take care, here's Mr. Prince coming." Ile overheard the expression, and on alighting from the carriage said to the servant in a solemn tone, " Mr. Prince once — Jesus Christ now." lie then entered the inn, consumed a cigar and a bottle of wine, and returned W the Abode of Love. Among other strange regulations ob served in the institution is the election of " Mrs. Prince," or "the bride." This is a distinction which every week falls to the lot of one out of 15 women, who, with their husbands, are members of the sect. A large stage is erected, on which is placed a number of seats according to the number of candidates for the espousal. This stage revolves round a chair, in which Mr. Prince seats himself. At a given signal the husbands •of the women enter, and each stationing himself at the back of his better half begins to force the stage round. This is continued until it has attained a pretty good speed, when, at a sign from Mr. Prince, the husbands retire and tho stage is left to itself; when it stops the woman opposite to Mr. Prince becomes the " bride for a week, at the end, of which time the same ceremony is repeated. Oa one occasion Mr. Prince happened to catch a " bride" as she was being kissed by her husband. As a punishment for this unfaithfulness she was divorced from he heavenly consort and put to menial labour, and the peccant husband was sentenced to wheel a barrow full of stones up and down the yard for three days.—Bristol Gazette. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ARCHES COURT, May 12. (Before Sir JOHN DonsoN.) THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY HODGSON AGAING!T GLADSTONE, CLERK. This cause was called on this morning soon after the sitting of the Court, but Mr. Gladstone not appearing, the Learned Judge said he would take another case, as a good deal of misapprehension had evidently existed about the business which was to be proceeded with. He himself had only been indirectly informed that Dr. 'Lushington would not sit, as had been previously ar ranged, to hear the appeal of Mr. Whiston against the Dean and Chapter of Rochester, and that information, such as it was, did not reach him till between six and seven o'clock t he evening before. Soon afterwards Mr. TEBBS (proctor) made his way into court, almost out of breath, and said that Mr. Glad stone now wished to have the benefit of counsel's assist 'ace. He had just received Mr. Gladstoue's proxy to appear for Mm, and he prayed the Court to allow him time to instruct counsel. After some conversation the Learned JUDGE granted the application, and assigned Mr. Gladstone to appear by counsel on the next Court day, which will be the first day of Trinity term, Saturday, May 22. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, May 12. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN IN RE COLO:URINE. The bankrupt, D.E. Columbine, was a solicitorsand money scrivener in Carlton-Chambers, Regent-street. This was an adjourned examination meeting. Mr. Bagley, instruoted by Mr. Chidley, appeared for the assignees to oppose the bankrupt passing; and Mr. Lawrence supported the bankrupt. The following is the report from the official assignee, Mr. Penuell:—" The balance sheet now under consider ation is the fourth which Mr. Colombino has filed. It commences at the same date as the ono filed in Decem ber 31st of December, 1841; but the surplus on that day, which was stated in the balance sheet to amount to 6,1471., is now reduced (in consequence of the discovery of errors by the official assignee) to the sum of 4,5011.; but even this is really more than Mr. Colombine was really worth at that date, as some pro perty is included which had been embraced in a revo cable settlement made in 1839 on Mr. and Mrs. Colom bine, senior, and debts to the amount of 1,1801. still remain unpaid, the greater part of which aro exceedingly doubtful. The unsecured creditors, which in the first balance sheet were stated at 17,3641., in the second at 20,2931., in the third at 22,7621., aro now increased to 28,8221., to which must be added one creditor, partially secured, 3381., less amount of security 105 L, 2331.; liability to trustees under marriage settlement, against which they claim the property and securities stated on the other 10,0001., profits in business during the five years embraced in the balance sheet, 13,335/. The assets given up consist of office furniture, valued at 1001., cash, 651.; legacy, 2001.; debts, alleged to be good, 3661.; the debts stated as doubtful amount to 7,0871, of which about 4,000/. are disputed; the property and securities claimed by the trustees under the settlement made in January, 1847, amount to 9,7071,, to which must be added the surplus expected to arise from property mortgaged to Mr. Allen which is stated in the balance sheet to be of the value of 4,000/, while his claim thereon is stated at 2,6771.- 1,3221. The property settled on Mr. Colombine's mother by a deed dated the 7th of January, 1846, consists of two annuities, valued at 2,5204 Amount paid to Mr. and 'Mrs. Colombine, senior, at the rate of 235/ a-year, 1,116/. The house and personal expenses amount to 7,132/.; the losses on various annuities were 6,7281.; ditto on railway shares, 1,7891.; ditto on mining shares. 130/4 ditto on a patent, 6191; ditto on property beyond its present value, 3,523/.; on cottages and carriages, 4941.; bad debts, 2,4181.; cash in Mr. Columbine's possession at the date of fiat, 1,6001.; entered in the balance sheet as received from Gonin and Co. of Paris, but real l y drawn out of Sir Claude Scott's bail by Mr. Columbine the 22th of January, 1847. Liability to trustees unde r marria g e settlement, 10,000/. It will been seen that nearly the whole available assets have been taken from the creditors of Mr. Colombine within 14 months be fore his bankruptcy, viz.—B y settdittole ment on his mother in January , ,o3o/.; by cash his 1846, 2,520/ ; by on his wife in January, 1847, 11 possession at the fiat, but withheld from his creditors (whose united debts exceed 29,0001.) assets . am ou o nti n ng , a ccording to Mr. Co lumbine's own valuation . , t regard only 731/., but really o f ver y much less value.

" Among other requisitions which the assignees called upon Mr. Columbine to answer was • That he should furnish a true the following , viz- • and accurate statement of his affairs on the 7th of Ja nuary, 1846,' the date when ho made a settlement on his mother. Ile has accordingly filed such account, making it appear that be had then a surplus of 17,6911. How such a statement can be reconciled with his pre sent balance sheet I m unable to conceive, and it would be but fair that he a should be required to file an nc count showing how they are reconcilable. If h o then had a surplus of 17,6911., and if his surplus on the Ist of January, 1842 (as stated in the balance s h eet) was only 4,5021., his net savings during 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1845 must have been 13,1891., or 3,300/ a year; not ne t profits, but clear net sa v i ng s, aft er deducting losses, professional wa d business expenses, TUE LOSS OF THE BIRKENHEAD.

In his balance sheet filed June, 1847, he estimated his profits during this period at 7331. per annum only. An examination of a few of the items in this statement clearly illustrates its utter fallacy. Shcrbour is entered as a creditor for 1,1061., but to this are to be added two other sums, making 2,189/. Topcoate, a creditor fur 2,0501., and Woolley, a creditor for 308/, are omitted; nor is any mention made of Mr. Colombine's liabilities in respect to Teesdale's annuities, amounting to some thousands. On the other hand the assets are overstated. The cash at the bankers is stated at 1,011/.; the passbook shows it to have boon only 474/. A debt of 1,000/. is stated to ho due from Mulcaster ; the account in the sappleaaen tal ledger sho ws i t to have been only 555/. Bills to the amount of 5171., are improperly included, as they were not in the bankrupt's possession on the 7th of January, 1846. A bill on Lord Mex borough for 1,0001. appears to have been paid to George Pinyon on the 9th of October, 1845. Policies for 550/. in the Law Life and Loudon Assurance Offices had been included in a revocable settleinrnt made in 1839 on Mr. Colombine's father and mother; a bill on Lard Cantilupo for 1,113/. became cash on 22d October, 1815 (according to the supplemental cashbook), and could not be in Mr. Colombine's possession on 7th Ja nuary, 1846. If it was on hand at the latter date, it has not been accounted for at a subsequent period. A sum of 1,000/. on a bill for 1,175/. on flungerford is unac counted for; as it is not entered in the ca s h account there is no clue as to whether it was or was not in hand on the 7th of January, 1846."__ His HONOUR, after hearing Mr. Bagley and Mr. Law ranee at great length, said he should reserve his judg ment in order to give the case the fullest consideration; but, he said, he must there remark how well the official assignee, Mr. Pennell, had done his duty, and make a few observations with reference to a subject which had been much discussed of late, viz.— the remuneration to official assignees. Here was a case which had been before the Court since 1547, and the accounts had been voluminous and com plicated in the highest degree, so much so that the bankrupt himself, a gentleman of education, could hardly wade through them. The official assignee had been engaged with his clerks, from day to day and from week to weLk, for five years, and the labour it would be diffi cult to estimate ; and here the remuneration was nothing. The official assignee, in this case, would not get any thing, and in the great majority of cases the official assignee got nothing ; but whether they got little or much, they were equally diligent and zealous and did their duty ; and he must particularly allude to Mr. Pen nell, as the question of remuneration was the last to enter his mind. Mr. BAGLEY—In this case the remuneration would ❑ot give him a shilling a-day for twelve hours work per day. His HONOUR, after a few more remarks, said, he would inform Mr. Colombine that he would extend to the case his utmost attention and give judgment on a future day. The ease lasted the whole day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. John Middleton, charged upon the information of the Patrick Talbot, private secretary to Lord Derby, with s-_ , nding a threatening letter to his Lordship as Prime Minister, and remanded on Saturday, was brought up i❑ custody, and again placed at the bar before Mr. Henry. Mr. Reynolds, from the office of the solicitor of the Treasury, was in attendance. Mr. HENRY (addressing the prisoner) said—You have been examined, I believe, by the prison surgeon? Pri soner—That gentleman has been speaking to me, but I did not take what he said to me as an offence. After the conversation with him I went into my closet, and prayed to God to protect me from tho ♦engeance of my en( mien. The Exchequer owes me a sum, on account of my evidence and losses with respect to the Irish Fishe ries, of 859,000. Mr. llnteav—You have received 200/ The prisoner denied this, and began to wander in his observations. ➢lr. HENRY said the certificate of the surgeon should be read, and called oa Mr. Baxter, the prisoner's friend, who was present, to attend to the reading of the docu ment. Mr. Barnaby the chief clerk, then read as follows: — "I have examined John Middleton, and am of opinion that he is not of sound mind. "J. H. WAKEFIELD, " May 11." "Surgeon, House of Detention. The prisoner:—Oh! good heaven! Mr. Manners Finney, formerly a woollen draper, and now an assistant to Mr. Hewitt, of 230, Holborn, woollen draper, having been sworn, said that he knew the pri soner, who had nursed him when a child; that the pri soner had long entertained and expressed a claim against the Government, and ho thought him as sensible a man as any in court. Mr. HENRY—You have heard the certificate read? Witness—l have, sir; but I still think the prisoner is of sound mind. Mr. HENRY—The medical certificate states that he is of unsound mind. Prisoner, you have committed an offence in sending a threatening letter to Lord Derby. Your claim has been inquired into, and you have had 2001. but there is no question of your offence. If you wish it I shall have you examined by a medical board. Prisoner--My Lord, scud for a clergyma❑ to examine me, as lam a poor sinner. I received a letter some time ago from the Duke of Wellington. Mr. 13exter was then put into the witness•box, and was asked by the prisoner, " if it was not the finger of God which directed him to witnoss?"—Witness believed that any doctor who said the prisoner was mad must be mad himself. Mr. HENRY said that was not the question put by the prisoner. Witness—Then I do not knew whether it was not the finger of God which directed the prisoner to me; but the prisoner has claims on the Government, Mr. HENRY would not permit the court to be made the medium of publishing such alleged claims. People came to the court frequently with such objects, but he would not permit such a course. The prisoner should for the present he given up to Mr. Lockhart, the officer of the Strand Union, to be further examined by the medical officer of the parish in which the prisoner bad last resided, and should be again, if necessary, brought up for further examination in court. The prisoner said he agreed to that arrangement, and went in charge of Mr. Lockhart, relieving officer to the Strand Union. ' The prisoner's wife, a woman of decent appearance and quiet demeanour, was in court during the examina tion, but remained passive. NAMES. 2 John Bailey, charged with the homicide of Caroline Harris, with whom he cohabitse, at 43, Devonshire street, Commercial-road East, was finally examined. Nothing new was elicited in taking the depositions, and the prisoner was fully committed for killing end slaying the deceased. F CE T . _ AD NLAJEEALOF INTELLIGENCE . IG OR E DO .

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY- GRAND TERMINUS AT PADDINGTON. —Very eaten sive works, second only to the well-known ones a Euston-square or King's-cross, are being carried out to form the terminus of the Great Western Railway at Paddington. These works, now near completion, will entirely al er the aspect of the terminus at Paddington, and give it an imposing appearance. The new ter minus is being constructed on that large area of ground on this side of the Prince of Wales Bridge, below which the present temporary terminus stands. The style of structure, as applied to railway purposes, is entirely new, being the design (in conjunction with Messrs. Fox and Henderson) of Mr. Brunel, the company's engiueer, ned is formed as nearly as possible after the model of the central aisle of the celebrated Crystal Palace, both the departure and arrival platforms con sisting of a continuous iron roof, eight hundred feet loeg and eighty feet span, formed of ribs of wrought iron rivetted together, with two lofty and elegant tran. septa near each end, the light being admitted trough the glass medium, now popularly known as " Paxton's glass roofing." This building runs parallel with the whole of Eastbourne-terrace, and between is the carriage road parted from the terrace by an iron palisading, with flights of steps for foot passengers. The ar rival platform faces the Paddington Canal, there being between them a large unenclosed space for cab stands and carriages. There are entrance and depar ture gates, booking effices, first, second, and third class waiting-rooms, of a superior order, with an elegant circular room and suite of apartments for her Majesty. The company's range of offices are above the booking offices, along the whole length of the terminus. There is also a central vestibule in the middle of the terminus for passengers to promenade in, with refreshment rooms, newspaper rooms, and electric tele graph station. The two lines of rails are to be brought up through the bridge to the new terminus, at the end passengersor a which ch th e theresplsplendid arrivingsdi dt or o hr departing hotel, o e c a lp, a c rb o t i v uo e i gi r t e covered gallery,r thet he trains bcyomwhich e b l y ose to Mr. Hardwick, the architect, at a cost of 50 , 0 001., and c all e d t h e " Great Western Hotel," situate Hyde -park end Kensington-gardens.

Yesterday the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navi gation Cumpany'a steam-ship Madras came up to this harbour from Southampton and embarked troops (about 300 men, women, and children) from the Royal Clarence yard for the Channel Islands. A private company's ship coming into this port (where there is supposed to be a squadron of ready-for-sea-going steamers, only waiting orders to move anywhere) to do the duty of transport ing her Majesty's troops the short distance named has excited much surprise, and is the theme of general com ment. But such a steam-vessel as the Madras a.' worth a squadron of Mega2ras, Birkenheads, or Hydras. The Arethusa, 50, Captain Symonds, has rece!ved orders to compktte to five months' provisions for ssea service. The Farious new steam-sloop is ordered to be fitted out at this port. DEvoxPora, MAY 11.—The Rev. Frederick Waldron, chaplain and naval instructor of the Amazon, 26, Cap tain Charles Barker, recently returned from the East Indies, and paid off at Devonport, has been struck - off the list of the chaplains and naval instructors of the fleet. TEE CHANNEL FLEET.—The officers on leave h as a received instructions to rejoin t heir respective ships on the lath ins'. The desertions of seamen since the arri val of the fleet at Cork have been numerous. If these have been confined to the men of bad character, the loss to the service is not very great. Commander W. 11. Dobbie, of the Buzzard, steam sloop, fitting hero, arrived at this port on Monday last, and on the following morning reported himself to the Commander-in-Chi e f; The Retribution, steam-iiigate, Captain Fre derick Warden, will sail fi-om hence, for Lisbon, as soon as the weather moderates.

The launch will take place on the day named between two and three o'clock lean The Torch steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Chimmo, tender to the Herald, was inspected in the basin yesterday afternoon, by Commodore Henry Eden, and the result was highly gratifying to the gallant su perintendent of Woolwich dockyard. The officers of the Herald and Torch have been selected for their intelli gence and enthusiasm for discovery, and the surveying service in which they are to be employed in the South Seas. The Torch went down the river at eight A.M., having Mr. Taplin, second assistant to the chief engi neer, on board, to witness and report on the working of her engines. The Herald, 28, Captain H. U. Denham, left Wool. wich shortly before five o'clock this afternoon, with the good wishes of all, for the successful result and safe re turn home from her enterprising voyage, when her mis sion has been completed—Captain Denham, with his uniform pleasing manner, having allowed every person who belonged to the dockyard, or who were wily visi tors, to go on board, and thousands avfiled themselves of the opportunity, while the Herald remained at her moorings in the river. Mrs. Denham and family were present on board daily, to do the honours of the open table which the captain kept for the entertainment of all who visited on board end took an interest in the expe dition. Among the visitors yesterday were Mrs. Boyd and a favourite sister of Mr. Boyd, of the Stock Ex change, their purpose being to give Captain Denham a number of handkerchiefs, on which has been printed allusions to the family, and Captain Denham will see that they are distributed among the savages of the Solomon Islands, that , some of the islanders may unwittingly be the means of communi cating to Mr. Boyd, if he is still alive, the knowledge that his relations and friends hero have not ceased to hope for his safety. Although the mission of the Herald is one of peace and useful discovery, Captain Denham has prepared his vessel to resist any attack which may be made by the natives—the armament of, the vessel coasisting of one 12-pounder brass howitzer, weighing 6 cwt. and 201 b., two long 9-pounders, and two 3-pounders, on the spar deck; and six 32-pounder carronadea on the middle deck. The signal guns have teen changed for trumpets, in order to avoid alarming the natives, and the half of the arms of the crew are to be returned into store, and Mini 6 rifles substituted in their stead. The captain has also revolving pistols, which would astonish the natives if they venture to make any attack on the expedition. SERVANTS.' ROYAL PROVIDENT AND BENEVOLENT' SOCIETY. The fifth annual meeting of this society took place yesterday, at the office, in Great Marlborough-street, Harry Chester, Esq., in the chair. It appeared from the report, which was read by the Secretary, that during the past year 16,4111. 13s. 7d. had been paid by servants to the provident fund of the so ciety, 12.164/ 19s. 9d. being on account of new contracts for Government annuities. The total amount paid by servants to the provident fund of the society since its commencement has been 43,3211. 9s. 6d., the greater of a n successful to notorious uh_ 0 portion of which has been for annuities. The society negotiates these annuities entirely without expense to the servant, which is not the case with any of the savings banks through which annuities can be bought. In the registry department the progress of the society ap peared to have been equally satisfactory, 2,883 servants having been provided by it with places since the publi cation of the last annual report. The total number of engagements, from the opening of the registry in No vember, 1850, to the sth of Apia, 1852, has been 4,059 —l,lOB being male servants, and 2,951 female servants. The home for female servants out of place appeared to have produced highly satisfactory results, the number of inmates having been much larger than during the pre vious year. particulars The report also gave the prosecution for false-character giving, which was lately undertaken by the society against an old offender, who went by the name of Mrs. A h u a a s n d t cl . The statement of accounts was then read, and di rectors end ti astees for the ensuinr , ,:, yearappointed; and, after a few observations from the Chairman, pointed out the fact that the society mo re than one - third of the whole number negotiated which had been g ran ted by savings b of annuities paro chial societies since the passing of the Act, and b r oke U. 0 the meeting _ EXTRACTING GOLD FROM QUARTZ.
