A general meeting of the commissioners of land-tax, for that part of the county of Middlesex which is de scribed in the 38th Geo. 111. as the " rest" of the said county, was held yesterday, at the Sessions-house, Cletkenwell, pursuant to notice, " to put in execution so much of the said Act as is thereby committed to their care and charge for the year ensuing." On the motion of Mr. WOODWARD, seconded by Mr. OFFER, Mr. J. Hargreave Mann, chairman of the Holborn Division, was called to the chair. The CnArnmAN said it would not be necessary at all for him to enter into any statement of the objects or pur poses for which the meeting was called, as they were well-known to every commissioner, and had been the subject of much discussion on previous occasions. After some preliminaries, Mr. COPPOCK said they had met on that occasion for the third time only, fur the purpose of putting into execution th'st which the Act of Parliament under which they were proceeding directed should be done every year—for the third time only he said lied they met to do this in a period of twenty-eight years; and without their holding , their annual meetings no warrant could be legally enforced, and no assessment for land. tax made, yet the injustice of the present system had been going on the whole of that time, and because it had so gone on it was now to be said that it was one that could not be looked at. The Learned Gentle man then briefly mentioned the proceedings before the Commissioners of the Holborn Division, in 1850, which led to the question of the equalization of the land-tax being brought prominently before the public, and said that last year the commissioners, at their general meet ing, passed a resolution that the amounts assessed on a division should be raised by an equal pound -rate through out such division, but they were stopped from carrying that resolution into effect by a letter from Mr. Keogh, of tho Board uf Inland Revenue, and thus they were pre vented, as it were, on the very threshold of success, from doing their duty and doing justice to - the - public, which thg could do without wrong to any individual sucau Lug:, 154U311113. tion of the unredeemed portion of the tsx, or even its entire repeal, could not be attended .with any injustice to those who had redeemed the tax on their property; and in comparing the rate of St. George's and St. An drew's, Holborn (ono shilling in the pound), with that of Marylebone (one farthing in the pound), men tioned that at least one good result of these proceed ings, and one for which he thought he ought to re ceive the thanks of the inhabitants of Marylebone, was the discovery by one of the commissioners that one of the Marylebone collectors had been making charges for land- tax and putting the money he received into his pocket. He then cited the various Acts of Parliament, from that of William and Mary, down to the present reign, having reference to the subject, and contended that the commissioners had the full right and power to raise the amount contributable by each division by an equal pound rate. They bad, he said, reason to hope for a better state of things now than existed when they appealed from Mr. John Wood of the Inland Re venue, to Sir Charles Wood of the E xc h equer, although they then acted on the evidence given by Mr. Wood himself before a Committee of the House of Lords, which was published in the Lords' papers, and which he would read to the commissioners. But they now had another Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he (Ur. Cop pock) held in his hands the recorded opinions of that Right Honourable Gentleman on this subject, and he found that at Aylesbury, in 1849, in the course of a pub lic speech, he said:— This day is published, Part IL, price ss„ T HE BOOK OF THE GARDEN.

Mr. RAMSDEN seconded the amendment, on the un derstanding that it was to be followed by the motion to go to Parliament. lie trusted that good would arise from their proceedings, but if they passed the original resolution they would be without the means of enforcing it—they would have no funds to contest their right to enforce it; and though he fully admitted the gross in juslice of the present operation of the tax, he thought an application to Parliament was the only thing they could adopt to remedy the evil. having shortly Epok6n, Mr. Danaldson, M r . N catc, A r r. Woodward, and ot h er the justi ce o f hi s case, and he was clearly of 00' commmr.isscioonpeptosc, brig fly replied. He said all bad ad mittednion that he had th e l aw with him. Ho did not propose to interfere with division and division, but as to parishes within a division. And as to the letter of the Board of Inland Revenue, a more unauthorised or unwarantable letter never was written ; and the thr e at that the board would defend the comm i ssioners out of the public money, should they bo pro cee d ed against, was, in effect, setting the authority of that b oard against that of the Qaeen ' s Bench, and, if he mistook not, that letter would be heard of in the House of Commons. The resolution, as amended by Mr. Payne, was car ried, on a show of hands, by 32 against 18. After some discussion, Mr. Payne abandoned his resolution for making an appli cat i on to P ar li amen t, and, on the motion ofMr. opp oc k , i t was resolve d t h a t it be referred to the commi ttee appointed last year to wait on the Right Honou ra bl e the Chancellor o f th e _ u Exchequer upon the subject, with th e view of urging upon him the necessity of bringing thr4aubject before Parliament. The CHAIRMAN said the L or d -Lieut e nant, t h e Mar quis of Salisbury, bad take n the matter up, an d h a d i moved for returns on the subject. - lids: - Camas said they had the Ar a t advantage of jetiowbg beffs - • elpini.onsAlte present Chancellor of the Exchequer on this subject; they never could find out what the opinions of the late one were.—(A laugh.)

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan tage by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated a r l : r tfg bi ls i e ec c i r h e y t practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of 11" , Years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of t ua n nag i trated, and existence itself rendered a term of iinceas sery and regret. a_oster- row the Author , and may be had of J.

" e nnonited on these disorders personally. or by letter, Tw...nd from Rix till Eight " I am certain that there ought to be an equal adjust ment of local taxation, or rather what is called local, though it is in reality. national taxati on , an d if that were obtained, as in all justice it ought to be obtained, considerable relief would at once be given to hltha will l a b g ena r on i c w u l orn t ui r lo a il l y ud i r n w t ae e i tt e e i n t u t attention to a nd another the unjust s l which n h a i e c r i • rangement of that tax. You all know that farmers pay double the poor -rates paid by other classes, and public opinion has already given a verdict that that should not be allowed, so that before long a settlement of that ques tion may be expected, which will do justice to the agri cultural body. I am now, however, anxious to call your attention to a tax the arrangement of which is most unjust. No doubt every gentleman present has heard and many pay the land -tax. . ...... This tax is so levied that the county of Buckingham pays Is. sd. iu the pound on the rental of the land, while other counties infinit e ly more populous and infinitely more rich pay 2J. in the pound. You are, therefore, called upon to pay an undue amount of the land -tax. Mind, I am not speaking of that portion of land-tax which has been redeemed, because that is always brought forward by our opponents to perplex the question, be. cause in nothing that I propose do I wish to disturb any public compact which has been entered into. Oue-third of the land-tax has been redeemed, and therefore no longer presses on the soil; but two-thirds remain to be paid, and produces more than 1,000,000/. annually. Now, it produces Is. sd. iu the pound in the county of Buckingham, and only 2d. in Lancashire, and ls. 4d. in Liverpool. I ask you, then, where is the equality of chat taxation? The inequality, however, is not peculiar to Buckinghamshire; for I was speaking to a gentleman from Hertfordshire on the subject before I entered the room, and I find that in his county they pay 18. 6d. in the pound. I have alluded to Hertfordshire, because I do not wish to confine the consideration of the subject to Bucking hamshire. I will also take a border county, that of Bed ford, where I find the tax is ls. 6d. in the pound, while in Northampton, another border county, it is more than le.—in Berkshire, a sister county, it is Is. 3d. Then, again, the remaining twenty agricultural counties, in cluding Somersetshire, Kent, Devonshire, and even Es sex —from which a petition signed by 25,000 persons in favour of equal taxation was sent to Parliament, that pe tition being given to me to present by their own county Members because I had originally brought the question forward—in these twenty agricultural counties the ave rage of the land-tax is but little under Is. in the pound. Having given you these facts, which I have drawn from official documents, I will put before you the conclusions to which I have come. If the land-tax were levied throughout the country as in Buckinghamshire, and that is not so high as in Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire, in stead of realising 1,000,000/. it would realise 5,000,0001. Mind I am not proposing any new tax opposed to the spirit of the age, but only the equalization of a tax cshich already exists, and in this I have a right to anticipate the support of those who have declared themselves in favour of equal taxation and financial re form, for out of thy own mouth will I judge thee.' All that I ask is, that the tax on land, which has been already sanctioned by Parliament by an ancient Act, shall be levied throughout the conntry in the same proportion as in Buckinghamshire; for, though the tax presses heavily on the agricultural districts, it does not press on Manchester, Liverpool, or Brighton. Gentle men, suppose we had this equalization of the land-tax, and the consequent 5,000,0001., the question arises what shall we do with it ? We have with this money the means, in my opinion, of raising the agriculture of Eng land from its depression, so that the landed interest should find itself in that position in which, as long as I live, I will labour to place it." He (Mr. Coppock) found the person who uttered these sentiments was now the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the hope he entertained of their being assisted by him in equalising this tax was fortified by the opinions of the present Attorney ar.d Solicitor-Generals—Sir F. Thesiger and Sir F. Kelly. The subject was divisible into three parts : first, the inequality of parish with parish in a division; then division as with division; and then county with county. Ho proposed only to deal with the first, and the iniquity and injustice of the pre sent mode of levying the tax would be apparent when it was considered that on one side of Oxford-street it was 6d. in the pound, whilst on the other it was but a id. They were not to exclude common sense from the appli cation of this Act of Parliament, and the commissioners were bound to equalise parish with parish in one divi sion. He was or opinion that they bad the power to re arrange the divisions of the county, but that had better be dealt with by Parliament. So long as the Board of Inland Revenue got the 'quota assessed on the county, they did not care how it was raised or where it came from, but it was the duty of the commissioners to see that there was a fair and equal pound rate on the divisions. The ruling of Lord Campbell, and the other judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, in the case of Bradley Haverstoe, was clear and conclusive. Justice, law, and common sense were on his side, and he was confident the good sense of his brother commissioners would lead them to the same conclusions. He then moved— D R. 7 C----- To b h iIV ERWELL'S NEW WORKS. 147, Fleet-street n '' l , °r Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; CarvalhO, price.

THEATRE NATIONAL —A grand military spectacle, Gentv . eve, la Patronnec de Paris founded on the legend of the patron saint of Paris, and the siege of the city by the lions under the terrible Attila, has been pro &lei-2d here with the utmost success. It is splendidly got up, and the strange costumes and mode of warfare of the barbarians and Parisians of the fifth century, are represented with the greatest possible accuracy. The last concert of the Socieie Ste. C6aile derived un wonted éclat from the presence of Mademoiselle Falconi. This eminent vocalist sang the " Sicilienne" of Pergolese, and the celebrated cavatina from Semi ramide, " Bel raggio," showing herself equally great in the classic and florid styles. With a splendid soprano, the lower register of her voice comprises the notes of the richest contralto, which she uses with transcendent effect. Mdlle. Falconi is on her way to London, being engaged by Mr. Bunn to meet the for midable rivalry of the opera season about to commence. Madlle. Marie Ducrest, a young artist of great talent, gave a concert a few days since at the Salle Pleyel, which was numerously attended: Madlle. Ducret pos sesses a good clear soprano voice, and considerable taste and execution—qualities which were displayed to great advantage: in an air from Auher's L'Estocq, and in another from Donizetti's Buondel Monte. nGogulreoh, nwaviect ITutthol:winsnatnotintbliyae beautiful heaton's specime been so impres sed i m vi po a pn n etah a rsa l s n o acge e o x o h nf i ee b an i r t g e Trdaivtmwe engraved oui a: _s t o o ld h e a ti v: g th a e rd e en last Saturday, a little SPringP• The first was valued at 160 dolls.

Lord Derby has a character for frankness and fair dealing to lose, and we fear he is in a fair way to lose it. The more anxious we .have been to secure for him fair play and courteous treatment in a situation of the utmost difficulty and embarrassment,—the more strenuous wo have been compelled to be in resisting the onslaught of the three Oppositions on the scarcely-organized Mi nistry, the more Imperatively do we feel called upon to reprobate the disingenuousness of the proceeding by which the majority of the House of Commons has been lulled into what would seem to be a false security. We never disputed the constitutional doctrine, that, as the Prime Minister of this country ought to possess the confidence of the majority of the . House of Commons, and a s Lo r d D er by, by hi s own admission, strengthened by that of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Secretary of State for the Colonies, does not possess that confidence, he is placed in an abnormal and exceptional position, which ought not to be continued one moment longer than the necessities of the publics service absolutely demand. We have hitherto been un der the impression that Lord Derby himself held the same opinion, and that he was as willing as his antago nists to put an end to an interregnum neither gratifying to his pride nor calculated to contribute to the lustre of his reputation. We thought that he would not endure a moment longer than duty compelled hi m th e presence of a Parliament of which he was the nominal leader, but not the actual master. We thought that, whatever might be the impatience with which the men of Man chester burn to enter the lists, our fiery Premier would be as eager for the confict as they. It seems, however, that we were mistaken. To hold the responsibility of office without its powers, to be Prime Minister under a hostile Opposition, to be confined to" humble and useful" duties, to resign the advccacy in words and the per tormance in deeds of those things which fur six years he has solemnly declared to be indispensable, —these things, so grievous to ordinary mortals, could not, we thought, be light and easy of endurance to the proud heir of the house of Stanley. On the 19th of last month, in answer to a question by the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Derby spoke as fol lows:—" I will go a step further, and say that I think the next autumn ought not to be allowed to pass over, not only without the country having had the opportunity of coming to a decision, but without Parliament having had the opportunity of pronouncing definitively and finally its opinion and its judgment on the course of policy that ought to be adopted on the part of the Go vernment. I will give no pledge as to time, whether in April, in May, or in June, that an appeal shall be made to the country, but I admit that an appeal ought is be made to the country before the ordinary time of commencing the next session of Parliament, and that the great question in issue should be decided and adjus dicated upon by Parliament at an earlier period, so that the ordinary and current business of the next session should not be interfered with by a protracted discussion on the commercial and financial position of the country." Lord Aberdeen, on behalf of the Conservative, and Lord GreY, on the part of the Whig Opposition, professed themselves satisfied with this promise; and well they might, for, without attempting to weigh words and syllables, or to deal with the declaration of a high spirited nobleman by the rules of special pleading and minute verbal oriticism, any man of plain sense reading this passage would understand,—first, that Lord Derby contemplated the probability of a dissolution unless some extraordinary circumstance intervened ; and, secondly, that ho proposed in the course of the autumn, and before its close, to submit to Parliament the question of what policy the Government ought to pursue. Mr. Disraeli was not so explicit in his expla• nations, and the result was, that while in the House of Commons the Ministerial explanations gave rise to a long and angry debate, in the House of Lords the expla nation was treated as quite satisfactory. On the follow ing Monday, however, Lord John liusssell, stating the construction which he put on Lord Derby's answer, which was exactly what we have said would be the con struction of any person of common sense, announced his intention, on the faith of the promise, to facilitate as much es possible the progress of public business. This was done in the presence of the Ministry; and if Lord Derby had been misreported, or if the construction placed by Lord John 1435501 on his words was forced or erroneous, it was their duty to contradict an interpreta tion which, by their silence and acquiescence, they rendered their owe. On the struegth of this interpretation the estimates were passed unquestioned, and no doubt was thrown on the intentions of the Government till Lord Derby's declaration of Tuesday last. " Nothing," be then said, "has ever fallen from my lips which could lead any one to suppose that the present would be a session of unusually short justify such I never said anything which could such a conclusion;" and afterwards Lord Derby added, interrupting the Duke of Newcastle for th e purpose, that he never mentioned the months (.4 . April, May, or June, a statement in which he was directly and most justly contradicted by the Duke. Of olicre ? _s our p se a:no w ie e s, ar to say whether Lord Derby are unable to account for these startling instance, ou t u qntially misled . the House in the first or whether h e s ine. OCII changed his mind, and now seeks toretra_ctthe pledge unadvisedly given. But In ei ther point of view the currence is greatly to be reg retted. In th e fi rst place, it tends net indirectly to lower that unhesitating and eager confidence which everyone placed in the as surance of Lord Derby, itsunderstoo d i nof a ordinary ny fin ess e sen se,or am biguityand of largusge• without the slighte st apprehension second plac©, su c h a depar ture from former declarations must give fresh bitterness to the Opposit ion, and tan into a flame th ose p ass i ons the violence of which we had hoped to have been allayed, After One . party has been, to use the mildest o gnally mistaken in the meaning of the other, so term, and has , through that mistake, conceded a great advan tage, it will be very di ffi cult to' bring them again to a mutua l understandi ng. If the session be, as everybody exce pt the Minist ers seems to think most desirable, destined to be brought to a speedy close, this end will now probably be obtained, not through mutual agree ment and c ompromise, but by making the minority feel in the f u ll est extent that it is the minority, and that .Go vernment, in thi s P ar li ament at least, exercises its funo tons merely on sufferance. _ We ha ve no w i sh to rank among the counsellors of Lord Derby, but, as having been uniformly anxious to obtain for him the fullest hearing and the fairest trial, we beg to point out how little will be gained by pro tracting the session at the expense of so much character and public confidence. The position of a Ministry in a minority is neither dignified nor popular. It forbids a Government to advance, and for a Government not to advance is to recede. Every week that Lord Derby's helpless situation continues is sapping the foundation of that party for whose support he looks at the coming election. Uncertain of the intentions of the Government, constituencies are taking the mat ter into their own hands, and are in many in -stances displacing adherents of the present Ministry to make room for candidates possessing little else that is definite except an adhesion to the doctrines of free trade. The cry on that side is certain and popular; on the other the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, and who shall prepare himself for battle? Wavering be tween Protective yearnings and Free Trade realities, without any avowed policy, without any clearly defined intentions, the Ministry seems to live on from day to day impatient of Its present anomalous state, and yet afraid to exchange it sooner than it is absolutely com pelled for its future condition, whatever that may be. Such policy is too refined and artful for the blunt and downright English nation. Let Ministers propound their principles, and it will accept or reject them; but in this free country we do not submit, except provi sionally, and then with much impatience, to the govern ment of a minority, and are not in the habit of being consulted as to what principles our rulers ought to adopt.

" That to raise the sum of 107,6021. 1 ls. 7d., the quota laid on the rest' of the county of Middlesex in and by the 38th Geo. 111., c. 5, for the service of the year 1852, the proportions to be raised by each division to be as follows:—(Here were inserted the figures of last year.) And that the same be raised by an equal pound rate on each division." Mr. OFFER (of the Tower Hamlets division) seconded the resolution. He instanced the inequalities existing between some of the parishes of that division, in some of which the tax was as much as 2e. in tho pound, with Marylebone, and said if they could not get justice with out going to Parliament, let them go to Parliament and obtain a general equalization. Mr. W. PAYNE (the Coronor) said the question was twofold, what it would be advisable to do, and what they had the power to do.

The potential influence of public opinion has already begun to tell upon the metropolitan water companies, and Tuesday furnished one of its most unmistakeable proofs. The Lambeth Water Company has, ever since the year 1785, supplied the chief portion of southern London with water drawn from the Thames, in the im mediate neighbourhood of Hungerford-bridge. The purity of the beverage daring the last century must have been questionable; what it ha s b een f or many years back it would b e amost painful to describe. A better era has, however, dawned. A special train on the South- Western Railway on Tuesday conveyed the directors and a party of 350 friends to the Kingston station, to witness the opening of the new works, constructed by the company at Ditton, on the banks of the Thames. A large extent of ground has been enclosed at the spot known as Seething-wells, opposite to Hampton park. At this point of the river, 23 miles above London-bridge' three miles abov e th e tid a l range , and above 4 'eddington-lock, the water is drawn from the river through gratings and wire strainers into several enormous filtering reservoirs, each of which is constructed to hold several hundred thousand gallons. ' The bed of these t an k s is formed of layers of shale, pounded shells, and fine and coa rse grave l, t h roug h which the fluid must pass to be pumped up the steam engines, and transferred by the aqueduct pipes to the reservoirs at Brixton-rise and St reatham -hill. Profiting byth a eg n u d id Mr. Phipps, anceofM h rSimpson and M r . Pole, secretary,engi neers, the visitors in spected the processes of filtration, the sluices haying been opened for the purpose, and then examined, the boiler , house and steam-engines. Four engines of 600-horse power collectively, of superior construction, furnish adequate power for the supply of 10,000,000 gallons of water per day—a quantity which it is estimated may be increased three or even fourfold, if requisite. After duly inspecting the whole of the works, and witnessing the commencement of active operations, the company adjourned to a large marquee, where a very excellen t collation did muc h cre di t to Mr. Richard Gunter, the purveyor. Mr. James C. Peache, the chairman of the company, was supported by Sir James Duke, M.P., Major Oliphant, Mr. Geach, M.P., Mr. Dakin, Mr. Pepper, mayor of Kingston, Lieutenant-General Sir John Wilson, &o. After various toasts and speeches. which were all well received, the company dispersed, to re-assemble at the railway-station, about half a mile die tant, where the special train conveyed the party back to town before night arrived. ITALIAN OPERA.—M. aizzini, the groat Italian violinist, made his appearance on Saturday night. He was announced to perform three morccaux of his own composition, each entirely different in style and cha racter, and he bad not played a dozan bars before he proved himself not only a complete master of his instru ment, but a true musician by nature, feeling, and genius, delighting and revelling in all the passionate beauty and poetry of his art. M. Bazzini first played an elegant and brilliant study on Donizetti's Anna Bolena—exquisitely performed, and followed by im mense applause. His next theme was the celebrated finale from Lucia, into which he threw a soul and ex pression not to be surpassed by that greatest of all in struments—the human voice. In his hands the violin absolutely sings this beautiful air with all the pathos, tenderness, and passion of a Rubini. The largo was executed entirely upon the fourth chord, and was given by Bazzini with a power and grandeur worthy of Paganini himself, of whom he re minded every musician present who had had the gratifi cation of hearing that groat master. This marvellous performance concluded with a scherzo, " La Ronde des Lutins," one of those fantastic dresms of fairyland in which the imagination of the com poser and player is allowed full scope, and hich considered alone as an exhibition of executive skill, is one of the most extraordinary feats ever heard on this instrument. His passages of tenths, dou ble notes, and daring leaps of bow and hand, preserving unerring truth of intonation, even in the wildest velocity of delivery, exhibited a mastery over every conceivable intricacy and difficulty impossible to sur pass. This wondrous display, at first fri coently in terrupted by expressions of delight, as it proceeded gra. dually excited a perfect furore ou the part of the public, who, after a tempest of applause, insisted on a repetition of the entire morceau, a demand which, notwithstanding its unreasonableness, was complied with by M. Bazztni with unimpaired energy; and ho concluded amid re newed acclamations on the part of the entire assembly. Among the many claimants to the succession of the great Pas,ranini, M. Bazzini must be set down as the most ideal and poetic that has yet been heard in Paris. ODEoN.—M. Leon Gozian has produced Les Cinq Minutes du Commandeur, a drama in five acts, founded on an excellent novel of the author's. The transplanta tion and adaptation to the stage has been effected so inju diciously that the plot, to those who are unacquainted with the romance, is perfectly incomprehensible. Under these circumstances, it is not to be wondered at that Lea Cinq Minutes du Commandeur should have been a failure. Since the first representation it would appear that some changes had been effected in the drams, as it has kept its ground on the alfiche, where, however, it seems impossible that its sojourn can be permanent. OPERA COMIQUE.—The last novelty here, Le Far fadet, partakes of the unsubstantial nature of the fan tastic being denoted by its title, both as regards the music and the libretto. It is an old story, but arranged in a new form, and gaily narrated by M. do Planard. A clumsy miller is about to marry the pretty Laurette, under the compulsion of one of those traditional uncles fast disappearing from the stage, while he is in reality attached to a cer tain Mdlle. Babet. Laurette,'.in,her turn, still regrets a former lover, one Marcellin, a baatman, supposed to have been drowned. An evil spirit (a furfadet) appears, however, to have bewitched the mill, for as the day fixed for Laurette's nuptials approaches, the machinery gets out of order, sacks of flour are tossed about, and a thousand pranks aro played the miller, by the mischievous elf, who turns out, at length, to be no other than Mons. Marcellin the missing boatman. Laurette marries her lover, Babot becomes the wife of her miller, and everybody is satisfied, eve'? the public. The music, by M. Adam, is pretty, h n contains nothing meriting note or special mention. It was extremely well sung by Mdlles. Lerner and ra. Talmon, and MM.

REDUCTION OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON.- The Mediterranean fleet has now been reduced to a mere squadron. Sir William Parker has given up the com mand to Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., and left Malta in the Queen, 116, Captain Wise, for England, with the Spiteful, 6, steam• Sloop, commanded by the ad miral's son, Commander G. Parker. The squadron re maining on the other side of the Straits of Gibraltar is now limited to Britannia, 120, Citptain Goldsmith; Tra falgar, 120, Captain Greville, and Bellerophon, 78, Cap tain Lord G. Paulet; a sloop, the Modesto, 14, Com mander Lord Compton; and the following steamers, besides the breaking-down packets—Firebrand, 6, Cap tain Codd; Scourge, 6, Commander Lord F. Kerr; Fury, 6, Commander Tatham; and a shaky old tub called the Shearwater, 3, Lieutenant Comma n d er H orton. T he elite of the Mediterranean force is now dispersed. We have not a single ship at Corfu, no cruiser on the coast of Syria —at a moment, too, when the greatest excite ment prevails with respect to the Tanzimat; we have not a single pendant at the Piraeus, and whilst a heavy French frigate has by this time p asse d th e Dardanelles, and is anchored off Constantinople, the re presentative of the B r itish navy th ere i s an old, worn out, leaky tub—the Shearwater, with not guns enough on board to return any compliment paid to the union jack. Hitherto it has always been held that the natural rendezvous for the main division of the British fleet in commission is on the station on which the French fleet is cruising, and near the forces of other powers. It has also been considered that the best method of keeping our ships in an efficient state, and teaching our junior officers and men their profession, is by cruising and ex ercising together, and performing their evolutions in company and in succession, which enabled Howe, Jervis, and Nelson to engage so successfully the superior forces of the enemy. Opinions appear to have changed, and systems to have altered. It would seem now that the means adopted to make our fleet efficient are to keep the line-of- battle ships as far distant from each other as possible. Time, however, will test the soundness of the judgment which has weakened our Mediterranean forces at a time when our rivals aro so strong on that station, and distributed our ships to those ports at which their presence is unnecessary.—Herald. We stated yesterday that commanders would be ap pointed to the flag-ships at the home ports as formerly, and we gave the appointment of Commander J. B. Marsh (1844), to the Waterloo, 120, flag-ship, Sheerness. Two officers have now been appointed to the other flag-ships —namely, Commander Alexander Boyle (1842), for merly of the Thunderbolt, steam-sloop, to the Victory, flag-ship, at Portsmouth, and Commander John R. Rodd 851),io tholmpregna'ble, 78, flsg•ship, Devonport. _ .. Lieutenant W. B. Mason (1848) has been appointed to the Britomart, 8, fitting at Dovonport. Spithead now looks as of old. The presence of the Prince Regent, 90, th e S uper b , 80, the Rodney, 90, Hogue, 60, and R e t r ib ut i on, 28, steam-frigate, gives it a warlike appearance. Arrogant, 46, screw steam-frigate, Captain Robinson, was removed from the angle dock into the basin, at Portsmouth, yesterday morning, where she will further fit for service. Dauntless, 33, screw steam-frigate, Captain E. P. Halsted, was paid wages in Plymouth Sound on Monday, and the men were granted leave. Niger, 14, screw-sloop, Commander Heath, is ordered home from the coast of Africa. Racer, 12, Commander Reddon, was paid off into or dinary, at Davenport, yesterday. Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain L. T. Jones, has hauled off from the dockyard to the Dryad hulk, at Portsmouth.

The Logatus, Ord, meter, and Columbus, Gray, CALIFORNIA. From San Francisco, California, we have advices to the 18th ult. The following is a summary of the news:— " The anticipations entertained at the opening of the present winter of a prosperous season in mining have been measurably disappointed by the unexpected ces sation of tho rains. At the opening of the season it was thought that the aurileous earth that bnd been thrown up would prove more productive during the winter months than any other department of mining. This would, doubtless, have been the case if the rains had continued. Yet, notwith standing the unfavourablo character of the season thus far, a reasonable degree of prosperity had attended the miners generally in all parts of the country. The ordinary placer diggings continuo to yield abundantly where there is sufficient water to work, and many lees, title; which have been almost incessantly worked since 1849 are still productive, without any appearance of ever being exhausted. This seems to be more especially the ease in some of the southern mines. The Calaveras Chronicle, speaking of Carson's Creek, says—' The diggings all along the creek are paying well, although the ravine has been worked twice already. 'this has been perhaps the richest plane in California, paying largely throughout its whole extent, while some portions of it have yielded amounts totally unprece dented in the mines. The want of water, however, is severely felt here ; but the miners are in expecta tion of relief in this matter by the introduc tion of water from the Stanislaus. Should this take place the ravines and flats aleng — tiie — cri will amply repay the labour expended in their working, and it is said that even far up the hillsides good diggings are to be found. The day after the recent rains a Mexican boy, walking along the creek, picked up a piece of quartz, which, upon being broken with a hammer, pro duced eight ounces of gold; and on Ma same day a miner known as 'Norwegian Bill' discovered among the tailings a piece of pure gold weighing air, ounces. From this creek rises the celebrated quartz mountain, supposed to contain the richest veins of gold of any similar formation in the State. The most valuable sections of this hill have been for some time in litigation between Morgan and Finnegan and Co., which has interfered materially with the operations of both parties. There are several sets of machinery at work, crushing the quartz from the sill on the Stanislaus River, which runs by the base of the mountain on the east. There is no doubt but this will eventually prove one of the most productive veins in the country. We are informed by a gentle man who has spent some time in critical examinations of various mining districts, and especially ei v q: ceda mining, that the Rocky Bar Company, County, has succeeded in constructing and n 8s yet been i pu tting into operation the most effective machinery that h ssing. with introduced, and that their works are D g e - r°- : learn from every prospect of success.

The people were infuriated beyond control, showing by their excited ac tions that nothing but the lives of the criminals would be allowed to expiate their guilt. Accordingly the seised them from th e s h eriff, and, with shouts of • • y passionate ex ultation, launched the unfortunate culprits into eternity. From Calav eras County we learn that now diggings have recently been di scovered east of the Butte, and about three miles f rom J ackson, which are creating some ex citement. The average depth is about twelve feet, and a portion of the dirt yields from 2 dolls. to 3 dolls. per Pan. llunt's Gulch —This old and well-known gulch is being thoroughly worked the present winter, and wo doubt not that it maintains its old reputation. Over a half -million of dollars have been taken out of it since first discovered, and probably as much remains. With OLIO or two exceptions this has been the richest gulch in our county, if not in the State. North Fork—The mi ners near ' The Gate,' who are washing the dirt thrown up by them the past summer, are doing extremely welt. We are informed 'hat their dirt, on the average, pajs from one to three ounces a day per man. Quartz Veins —Several very rich quartz veins have recently been dis covered in the vicinity of the volcano. The discoverers are so sanguine of success that they are about procur ing very extensive machinery. Some of the rock averages from 40c. to 50c. per pound, A Sonora paper says,—' Last Sunday Mr. J. Rabey was walking along a little to the north of the Bull Pen, and observed a small point of quartz sticking out from the ground with gold in it visible. Ho proceeded to pull out the stone, and found it to weigh 96 oz., and to be 1 worth 1,000 dollars or upward. The Bull Pen lies at the eastern base of the hill, the western base of which runs into Holden's garden. The character of_ ! . _ e quartz and gold just found is the same as that of the many lumps found in the garden, and probablY f . ',__ will be "' Lit "' from another dip of the same vein. It j u mps were bared that about a month ago four other of one found on the surface within the short sp ace ~'> ~~
