C., In August, 1851, the promoters of the Submarine Telegraph formed themselves into .a French Company (societe en Comman , . elite), and established telegraphic communication between Dover and Calais. On the 13th November last the telegraph was opened to the public, since which time it has worked without the slightest irregularity or interruption. A Submarine Telegraphiq communication having been thus suc cessfully proved, the promoters consider that the time has now ar rived to invite the public to e:-operate with them in developing the resources, and extending the advantages of this important under taking. The following britif statement will show the actual position and prospects of the Submarine Telegraph:— . • A royal charttr of incorporation was obtained in 1851, but it has been determined to surrender the same for one of more extended powers, enabling the . Company to establish a Submarine Telegraphic Communication with a!l parts of the Continent of Europe. The draft of this charter is now before the Board of Trade, ant it is belieted that it will be finally granted at the next Prfvy Council. The capital or the French Company consists of 75,000 shares of 1/. each: It is proposed to surrender these shares for shares of a cones pondin,, value in the Company now f orm i ng under the aforesaid extended b Royal Charter. • An exclusive concession has also been obtained from the Belgian Government, and important privileges from other foreign Govern-• ments. The Charter of Incorporation will unite these different ponces• dons and privilege's, thus becuring to this Company the exclusive, right of telegraphic communication between Great Britain and the Continent. The receipts of the Submarine Telegraph have never been less than 5 per cent., although it has been severely cramped in its operations in consequence of its present position, forming, as it does, only one link in the chain of continental communication ; but, after allowing an outside margin for works and expenses, and for laying down a distinct and most complete line from Dever to London, the returns during the past month have been at the rate of 71. 18s. 31. per cent. In order to provide for the gaily increase of business, and to secure the telegraphic communication with the Continent against any risk of interruption, it is proposed to lay down a second cable between France and England, and also one between Dover and Ostend, which will give' 16 Telegraphic lineS of communication between Great Britain and the Continent, and amply amply the various lines of France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Responsible parties have undertaken to lay down these lines with a Sufficient number of wires for any amount of traffic that can be anticipated, for the sum of 70,0001, to include all patent rights, and all prelitidnary and other expenses incidental to the Belgian and other concessions, which will become vested in this Company. The Charter will authorise the raising of a capital of 300,0001. ; but under the arrangemeets , above referred to, not more than 75,000/. of new capital will be required to carry out the objects in contemplation. • The Lutopean and American Electric Telegraph Company , being formed under the powers of the Act of Parliament in connection with this Company, the arrangements for completing the extension of the Submarine Telegraph to London, Manchester, and Liverpool, will be immediately,poncluded, when the French Govern Went have undertaken to prfpvide independent wires for the exclusive use of the Submarine Telegraph from Calais to the centre Of Paris. In the coarse of a fevinionths, therefore, the Exchanges of London, Liver pool, and Manchester, will be brought into instantaneous communi cation with that of Paris ; and the same principle may be carried into effect with all the other cities of commercial importance through out the Continent of Europe. An estitnate of the vast extension of business which must follow such a develipment of Telegraphic Communication, under a system of mo lerate charges, .may be arrived at by a consideration of the marvellous results which attended the introduction of the Penny Postage. The day of experiment with the. Submarine Telegraph has passed, and all, therefore, which nor remains is to afford every facility to the public to avail themselves of an invention which is evidently destined materially to affect the interests of the Commer cial and Political World. Applications for the 1,500 Shares may be made to Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Stock Brokers, 68, Old Broad-street, City.

' that the true interests' of the Company *Quid be best consulted by serving the public continually - On loWer and lower terms, as, creased btisiness and manugliCturin i r poWeri , inight render father re dactions Consistent with the retention:42ld security of the existing rate of dividend. When this report was made,,the Directors m „ erOy contemplated a gradual reduction of priceS during the currency ef' the patents, so as eventually, but gradually, to derive the Company's revenue from the mere manufacturing profits due to a combination of strong posi tion, large capital, and'great experience in a highly -skilled trade, in dependently of patent rights altogethg. • ".Circumstances hate, however, occurred since, the meeting which have led the Directors to tire coriclitsion that the interests of the Proprietors will be advanced and secured by pl ac i ng the Company In such A position as will enable it at any moment to bring down its prices to the minimurn. _ , "Large importations of French_ Candles have been made into this market. They, have beeil manufactured at a ;comparatively high cost, yet being in man y cases sold avowedly without profit, for the mere object of lightening, by this increase of make, the manu facturing 'charges of the French factories upon that part of their produce which is sold in France, they have interfered to some ex tent with the export sale of the Cotnphy's Candles at their present pricp, carrying as thcSe prie,es,Boll do- 4 cansirtrabte putent'proflt upon them. " Processes, In some respects resembling those of the Company, were patented some years ago in France, but have not yet been car ried out there on a large scale. The French patents are now pass ing into other hands. They were offered to the Company, ani the Directors entertained the proposal, with a view merely to the pro tection of the English interests of the Company ; but ultimately de cided upon declining it, at any rate for the present, partly on the groulds of general prudence, too obvious to require explanation, and partly on'account of - the short period which the French patents have still to run, while any prolongation of their original term is at present doubtflil. " The proprietors are, of course, aware that candles manufac tured according to, the Company's patent processes in France, can- Lot be legally imported into, this country, but the expense and eilii culty of litigation would Le so pa , -ch increased by the necessity of obtaining evidence in a foreign country, that the Directors would be gl d to remove the temptation to import by a reduction of prices, if the reduction can be effected, as they believe it may, with advan tage rather thin injfiry 'to the COmpany'A income. " Besides, the annoyance from France, the Directors have hart within the last fe vi weeks notice from various quarters amen likely to arise at home. More than ono company has been, or is being at tempted to be formed, avowedly upon the profits divided by thia Company. Any no y company would, of course, have considerable capital, and Would be prepared to spend it in litigation, involving, • (however satisfactory the result) a large expend4ure by our Com. pany. "The Directors, while ready to maintain by law the rights of the proprietors, are yet yell anxious to avoid so unpleasant a necessity, by removing the inducement ,to infringe their patents: The pro prietors will feel with them, that the many thousand pounds which a really determined encroachment upon thestompany'e patents would soon run away with, will „be far better expended as part of the ca pital peaceably employed in fully developing:the processes, so as to bring the products down to a point of cheapness, such as to make the fact of their being Patent cease to be any element in their Under these circumstances the -Directors, after a careful revieW' of all their past experience of the effects upow their trade produced by reduction of prices, hive unanimously resolved that it is expedient to anticipate and remove the risk of interference and consequent li tigation in the following manner: " The great value of the Company's patent 'processes consists, as most of the Proprietors are aware, in their transforming almost any fatty material, however soft, dark-coloured, and strong =smelling, into - a bard, white, and pure candle material, produced at a much cheaper rate than that at which any other equally gOod material can be pro duced. - • _ "Of all the inferior., fattY.materials to which the processes have abort Sll tons f ' are Africa. o been applied, that of which there is the l argest and most constant supply, at a lowprpicoidtt intoPaini this country frO . coast ooll,et' which T w pe h i e nW value of annuallythis im Material is Very greatlyincreased by-its passing through the Company's; processes, that these Cannot be considered adequately.developed while :any: considerable_ : part of -the impor tation is otherwise treated.- But the whole power of the Company's present factories is . stillicient for only about a , . fourth part of the importation. • - " The .11attersea and Belmont Factories are now nearly perfect, with all their parts' Auly proportioned to each other; and in excel— lent working order. -There is scarcely room for considerable addi tion without more or less disarrangetnent. Moreover, .they are already more than Sufficiently large for the whole London importa tion of palm oil. All additional supplies required must be ;brought,' as in fact.much of the present supply is,-from Liverpool, - the head quarters of the palm oil trade. • " The.Pirectors are therefore of opinion, that any further consi derable extension - ought to be at Liverpool.' and they recommend the erection there of works on a large scale, equalling, • perhaps or exceeding, that, of the. London works, < Such_ works in the cheapest market for the_ raw material, and constructed with the full benefit of past experience, and with abundant capital, will enable the Com pany to manufacture more cheaply than any possible competitor. " The candle trade of Liverpool itself and ita neighbourhood, And of much of the North and of Ireland, would be supplied from these new works, while the London factories would continue to work up the London importatioh of palin oil; and to supply the candles used in London and the South. "The saving effected in the carriage of the raw material first, and of the manufactured produce afterwards, by the erection of works of the contemplated magnitude at Liverpool, would, as compared with a similar extension near London, exceed 10,0001. a-year. ' - ••Tttelltrectors'tlo not connne their' plans ror extension to the erection of Ulla one set of Liverpool works, but they think that this much at least ought to be done by the winter of 1853. "It remains to be explained how the proposed extensions are to be effected. . . " The capital of the present Company consists of 25,000 shares of 201. each, on which 171. 10s. per share has been paid up. " This capital being already fully employed, the Directors propose to form a new company, with a further capital of 260,0001. (to be doubled if required), divided into sha res of 201. each. .. I he two Companies will be amalg amated by Act of Pcarolmiapmenyt, next year, on which the 20/. shares o f the new Company.will be treated as equivalent to the 201. shares of the ori g inal an which at present bear a premium of 6/. each. d S e r u s e , hwvirl not t l be t premium ateno o u f t 6 0 / f . per thec o eninto share er paid by t the new Share holders, pockets of the old Shareholders, but will be 'written off from the patent and plant accounts. As the writing down of these accounts will be for the benefit of the new as much as of the old Proprietors, this will be a virtual return to the new ones of a large share of the premium paid by them. " The two Companies will en ter into an immediate contract for the proposed amalgamation, and the Directors do not entertain the slightest doubt of o3taining, without difficulty, the requisite Parlia mentary sanction to the contract ; bat provisions will be made for an equitable arrangement between the two Companies, in the barely possible event of the Act being refused, and the exact terms of such arrangement will be communicated to the Proprietors before they bind themselves to take their share " A deposit of 51. will be paid on very new share, and two months' every notice will be given of any iurther call " Power would be given to the Directors, s ubject to the c3ntrol of the Proprietors, to carry out at Liverpool educational arrangements similar to those which have been recently sanctioned by the Pro prietors, for the London factories.

From the vast gold fields of Australia, said to extend over two hundred miles of country, millions sterling are now pouring into this country: the question is, what will be the effect of this mighty influx on our currency ? An over quantity of wealth in a great commer cial country is a contradiction, and the way in which it may be ad vantageously employed is best illustrated by the magnificent and spirited enterprises of E. MOSES fund SON. They constantly em ploy thousands of British and Foreign artizans in the manufacture of every variety of materials for fa.thimiable dress, and thousands are daily working these into countless styles and patterns, designed for elegance, use, and comfort : these artizans all honourably remu nerated for their skill, talent, and ladustry, are convincing proofs of how Australian gold may be advantageously employed in this coun try.

This Company is formed for the purpose of supplying what has now become an object of first-rate commercial importance—viz , a cheap communication, by Electric Telegraph, between London, Li verpool, and Manchester, and an uninterrupted connexion, by means of the Submarine Telegraph, between those places and the Continent of Europe. . . . It is proposed to construct one main line of Electric Telegraphs frem Dover to Loudon and Liverpool, connecting Ma nc hester and Birmingham, which will unite with the existing Submarine Tele graph to France, and with that which is about to be laid down to Be,gium, under concessions from the Frew h, Belgian, and other foreign Governments, which secure an exclusive and direct corre spondence with the telegraphic systems of the Continent, extending at the present year over 10,000 miles. These lines will be laid underground, under the powers of the Act of Parliament, according to the most approved modern system, by which the Telegraph will be secured from interruption by atmos pheric or other causes. and the Company guaranteed against all cost of maintenance for tea years. A sufficient number of wires will be provided to enable the Company to carry on a large business at low rates, which affords the surest source of profit in an undertaking where increase of traffic is not attended by any corresponding in crease of working expense. Responsible contractors have guaranteed to lay "down the entire lines in question, extending over about 300 miles, complete in every respect, and including all preliminary and Parliamentary ex penses, purchase of patent rights, &c., and also to ensure the main tenance and satisfactory working of the lines for ten years after their completion, for the sum of 112,000/. The whole expense of the undertaking being thus defined, no liability can be incurred beyond the amount called on the Shares, as the Directors will undertake no new lines, and enter into no further engagements, without the consent of the Proprietors. The deposit of 3/. per Share will be sufficient to raise the requisite capital under the proposed contract: and the remaining 2/. per Share will be kept in reserve to provide any additional accommo dation that may be wanted for a large expansion of traffic—no por tion of it being called up without a distinct resolution to that effect from a General Meeting of the Proprietors. Arrangements are now making by which, in the course of a few months, London, Liverpool, and Manchester may be placed in direct and instantaneous communication with Paris, Havre, Marseilles, Brussels, Amsterdam, Hamburgh, Frankfurt, Berlin, Vienna, Trieste, and almost every town of importance in Europe. Express News Agents in New York and Boston have undertaken to collect Telegraphic Messages throughout the vastly extended Lines in America ; these being forwarded by the packets, on their arrival at Liverpool, be instantly transmitted through this Line to a ll par t s o f th e C on ti n ent of Europe, so that answers may be rec e i ve d i n a few minutes i n rea diness tor the departure of a returning ek a ll Th:ldl i te te igesr d inbal:ltilifeaentvaested,af moreover, that the introduction of more economical de v~oa are already ost-office, in ad o y f transmission must lead to an extensive of business, as has been the case in the America, where upwards of 22,000 miles of P liwfaie.te, Stock-brokersarea,llBl:7 profitable operation, and where it " au niu t e h h e a tr m an a s t a te c r ti o o f fis ne o e f es e s c ar m y me a r n ce d a ha nd bi ta tual air us s o e f a d s a t i h ly e Application for Sh B b r e o m a r str e 6 to et, M c e i s t s y r . s.

THE RACE FOR THE ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS, WI•TH ODDS AND ENDS FOR THE CHESTER, &c. • sin,—w 2 l o th r t r e P: ex E c n ep i ti T on O o ß f t O he r ra r c il e for S th rT e lV o;:te Then sand, and Alcoran'a cantering exercise, yesterday's sport was of the 'usual character, eminently uninteresting. The race for the Gaineas was remarkably truly run ; my particular fancy, the filly by Launcelot, cut• out the work at a moderate pace for nearly half the distance, when Kate went to the fore, was never afterwards caught, and won, after a severe race for the last two,hundred yards, by, a head. The Launcelot filly was beaten by the Lady-in-Waiting for second piece by a length and a half; Glenluce finished a good fourth; Janina fifth, beaten all the way; and the Qua drcon filly last. The winner is in the Oaks, but I should say possesses but an inferior chance of carrying off that event. Alcoran won the 100 says, stakes in a very off-hand style; waiting for a moiety of the distance, then taking the lead, • going on by himself, and winning in a common canter by three lengtlas., This was acco:nplished in I min. and 44 sec. —not bad by any, means. Wingenund managed to beat Houlakin for second place • and Ilex lets the post in the wrong.direetion. I begin o entertain a very favourable opinion of Alcoran's Derby chance. He is a fine slashing animal : good quarters. well laid down : action very easy : strong on his legs; and, moreover, has a good strain of blood running in his veins, being descended on the dam's side from Bay Middleton. I never hal any partiality for the produce of the sire (Theon) for any great event like the Derby, but Aleoran seems likely to overrule my objection. The downward movement of the winter favourite, Flobbie Noble, is still going on, gradually. Yesterday morning he retreated from eights to nines; in the afternoon reached. tens; and at midnight twelve was freely offered against him. Bay Rosalind, I am afraid, it will be impossible to prepare for the Oaks; her present condition being very bad indeed. Stockwell I have but a moderate opinion of for the Derby ; ilomehrewed, none at all; and of:liing- of - Trumpa,'lchif came with a rush yesterday, bat very little. I will now lay before my readers a batch of odds and ends concerning Chester. 4)aloric and Captious are in preparation for the Palatine Stakes; the race at the present, in my opinion, lays between' the pair. Whalebone is reported a good thing for the Mostyn Stakes, and Lambton and Jaquenetta are said to be his most dan gerous rivals. My opinion, however, is, that Brother to Shylock will be the most• formidable competitor Whalebone will have. I feel inclined to. place Whalebone or Brother to Shylock first, with Lanabton next, and Caesio and Jaquenetta well up. Strait Jacket does net start. Mr. Payne has a well-bred, filly, called Hybla, in this stake, of whom private report speaks favourably. Torn TayloOias a couple in, of whom, also, he entertains a , good opinidy: Altogether we may expect a very interesting race for thiAatake. Redmond O'Hanlon is announced as a capital spec for the Chesterfield Stakes; but, as he is engaged ou the folloWing day for the Cup, his stable companion, Lancaster, may de duty in his stead. • Concerning the Cup, it is now tolerably clear that the largest field that has ever gone to' the post qn the telegraphed.

View Halloo will first-rateue Yorkshire s t li h i f r P e u • Middleton, has been place. Her stable companion, Eliza n ocif d o tth i o n e g Yp be started to render her any service he can. I expect that scratched some time. Rassborough is coming, perhaps has actually arrived, from Ireland; he is every thing his owner can wish, and is a most dangerous outsider. Rushorough's brother, and the Earl of Warwick are, I believe, nonstarters. Mr. Meiklam is confident of winning with Stilton. The in terest of Saunders's lot will be centred in Ringleader; the re maining six, it is said, will be absentees. There has been some talk about the Black Doctor lately, but Parr does not for an instant entertain any opinion of being enabled to realise the winner with any of his half-dozen. Wad low's lot is a failure. Great things are expected of Old Dan Tucker, who is at last coming out to astonish the na tives—at least so his owner and trainers say. Alec Taylor's lot is on the forlorn list. Eskrett's half dozen are reported to be of no service, unless Harp can pull them through. Prince has a high opinion of Dun-an-Dhurrae's chance., Red mond O'Hanlon's running is not certain. Kick-up-the- Dust and Cockcrow will not start. Vampyre is the only one left in of Percy's four; they are freshening the old animal up, but I am afraid he is too far gone in the sere and yellow leaf. Kooh-i-Noor is to shine brilliantly on Wed nesday; there may be some truth in the report, but there is none in that which says Truth will win. French's pouple are no go. William Day's lot, it seems, is to be represented by Grosvenor, the other two being out of the field. Lord Clifden's Poodle is in careful preparation, and his chance is not altogether oat, bat by no means a superior one. Tom Taylor's lot will have only one starter, Lady Evelyn ; she is said tole in better condition now than at any time since she won the Oaks; if so her chanceis a fairish one. Dilly's couple are without hope. Young Osborne stands up stoutly for his Merry Bird, and asserts he is sure to beat the majo rity of three-yr-olds, if not produce the actual winner. The Daneburyites are remarkably sweet upon Hothorpe, and not without reason: he is certain to finish in front. My final opinions, with all the latest moves on the board at the hour of going to press, will be published on Monday and Titespy. jtm_ i Sir, your! &c "TIM — VIRTFOF - THE TURP. April 30, 1352.

IMarerA, Arm, 22.—The Medusa, with homeward m a il s from India, is expected here on Saturday. The Medina is under orders for Marseilles to convey the overland portion, sent through-France. The Spiteful, C omman d er Pa r k e r, from Gibraltar, arrived this morning. She will convey the second mails to the fleet on their departure. The Growler steam-frigate, on her return from Marseilles and other continental ports, reached Malta on the 16th inst. She will leave on Saturday for Leghorn, where she is to be on station for come time. The Firebrand. from Leghorn, has also returned to har• bour, as has the Fury, from a Ace:in trip. The vessels in port now are.;-- The Britannia (flag). the Belleroph6n, and the Trafale - etr. Steamers —The Spiteful, Growler, Firebrand, and Fitly (the Admiral's pet). Peckets—The Caradoe and the Ardent, repairing, and the Medina. , . . , The Oberon is at Corfu, and the Banshee at Marseilles. The Bishop of Gibraltar is about to visit part of his dio cese. He will leiive the island in a tew days by the Spiteful, proceeding first to Tunis, thence to Gibraltar. The fihet is about to put to sea. Admiral Dundee, with his family, embark to-day, and will move with his vessels on'Saturdey- Their stay will be long, extending to Novena. ber. The Admiral will first go to Mahon, where he will receive his first dispatches by the Fury; thence he goes to Gibraltar, where the Spiteful :will convey to him the dis patches by the mail of the middle of the month, and leaving Gibraltar, his present. intention —as far as report, at least, justifies the a s sertion—i s t o v i s it t h e eastern ports within the limits of his command, proceeding to Corfu, Smyrna, and Constantinople. The departure of the fleet for so long a period will be - severely felt by the people of this island, who depend in a greet measure for support on their stay in port. . ie,Seretlieh sly, the. Scandinavian - 4 e - went on shore on the 13th inst., between the Munchiar reef and the shore, and, must be broken up. Her crew saved ; her cargo, beaus arid' cotton, will alsobe recovered. The Admiral sent the Oberon and Medina packets to afford relief, which was impossible, however, to effect ; for which act of kindness and' attention to the commercial interests , of the place, the. Chamber of Commerce Imo addressed a loiter' of thanks to Admiral Dundee, to which he replied, stating it to be "his duty and earndst desire to promote and prk-ep the commercial interests of our country, and to render every essistance to the vessels of /all nations that may be in distress." On Tuesday we had a regatta. Qn board the flagship and the Bellerophon several guests were invited, and finished the evening by a dance. On the Bellerophon a, marine went to the mainteprnast-heaci ; on this one of the sailors, simply not to be out-done, ran up the rigging to the maiatopmast-head, and thence mounted to the main track, where, standing, he coolly waved his hands and arms about, as fearlessly as if he had been on terra firma. He then undressed and dressed himself again, finishing his daring exploit by crawling down the backstays head fore most, amid the prolonged and beisterous cheers, not only of his own niosamates, hued the crews of the neighbouring ships. The feat was a most daring one (the main truck of the Bellerophon —I have it from Lord Paulett—nut being more than a toot), and one perhaps that not ten men in the fleet could or would perform. On Monday last 18 men were invalided at the hospital, among them a naval cadet of the Vengeance, his disease being caries of the bones. A court of inquiry assembled on board the Ceylon on Monday, Captiin Goldsmith, Captain Codd, and Commander Tatham, on Mr. De Rutzen, of the Trafalgar, a midshipman, who it seems has been amusing him se lf with getting grog into his cabin, and making a sentry drunk. »it is said he will be sent home to learn his duties better, before he is allowed to re-enter the navy. The Turkish frigate Feis Bahri, which arrived heie on the 16th inst., with his Excellency Suleiman Pasha and, suite, left Tunis on the 21st. She shortly after met with ad' accident ; a man fell overbotitd, and on four sailors getting into a boat to lower it, it brbke from the davits and all were immersed in the sea, but, except the first, who was dro wne d, ell were saved. She is now in dock repairing. eofersmotrie, Arnie 29.—The Amazon, 26, Capt. Barker. arrived at Spithead this morning from the China station and the Cape of Good Hope. She is 93 days out from Vibe°. melee, and has run over a distance of 51,076 miles during her commission. She has had perpetual summer the whole of her time, having been two sumeiers at Hong-Kong, the intermediate time being the summer season in . the Straits of Malacca, with Captain Troubridge as senior officer; the re- mainder has been on the Singapore station with Captain Barker as 'senior officer. She has lost by death during her commission 2 officers, 7 seamen, 1 boy, and 3 marines, and has invalided 23 seamen, 1 boy and 2 marines. Eight officers, 133 sulSordinate officers, seamen, marines, and boys, out of those who left England in the ship, have returned. The only changes among the gunroom officers are the master and surgeon. The Amazon sailed from Trincomalee on the 24th of January, and arrived at the Cape on the evening of the 2d of March, and sailed on the afternoon of the 7th. Castor and Radamanthus were at anchor in Simon's Bay, and the Styx in Table Bay. While at Simon's Bay she received on board fifty-eigut officers, marines, and boys, being the survivors of the Birkenhead, whom she had brought to England. She arrived at St. Helena on the morning of the 16th ult., and sailed on the afternoon of the same day. She arrived at Ascension on the morning of Sun day the 21st, where she was detained until Monday after noon to bring home eight invalids, five of whom were en gaged and wounded in the expedition against Lagos. The Tortoise, Volcano steamer, and three merchant vessels, were at the anchorage; the Wolverine had sailed from Ascension for Sierra Leone, the Gambia, and England on the 18th of March. Two courts of inquiry were to take place on the arrival of the Commodore—one between Lieutenants Puddi come and Wood, of the Royal Marines; Mr. Sturdle, the master, had applied for one on himself, Captain Kitchen having accused him of assembling the officers on the island at his house, and persuading them to op pose his (Captain Kitchen's) orders. Oa the even ing of the 31st of March, the Amazon, when in latitude 1 deg. e 6 ruin. north, longitude 21 deg. 40 min. west, being nearly becalmed, was struck by a sudden squall, and eight sails out of thirteen, which were set at the time, were split and blown away. On the 31st she com municated with the barque Alice Maude, bound to London. On the 21st of April, let. 43 deg. 30 rain. berth, lon. 22 deg. 20 min. west, exchanged numbers with the mail steamer Parana. On the 27th, off Scilly, she supplied the Dutch schooner Pomona with water and salt provisions. 65 days from Havannah ; wind bound. The leriver, 6, steam-sloop, Commander C. R. Johnson, arrived at Spithead this morning from the Pacific, to be paid Off. She has been three years and eight mouths in commis sion, :An .ut three years of which has been on the Pacific sta tion, where she has been very actively employed, having visited nearly every port between the parallel of Cape Horn and our possessions north to Vancouver's Island, and ren dered valuable assistance to British merchant shipping, espe cially at San Francisco, where, during the late gold mania the difficulty of obtaining seamen was severely telt. The Driver, during her commission, has run over a distance of 77,000 miles, about one-half of which has been performed under steam. Her machinery, &c., is in a high state of effi ciency, and will require bet a trifling expense to fit her for another commission. The Driver touched at the Falkland Islands; the colony was doing well. Died, on the 27th March, Mr. R. Langland, passenger, of Glasgow; and on the 21th April Mr. J. Lockart Stephens, late acting-master of the Driver ; also Mr. Howell, subordi nate officers' steward, of the Conflict. She brings freight 252,0001., consigned to the Messrs. E. and E.

Her Majesty ordered her carriage to be stopped under the balcony of the palace of Queen Christina, who, bLing apprised of the circumstance, immediately went to the balcony, and a conversation took place between their Majesties, which lasted half an hour. As may be readily supposed, this circumstance attracted the notice of all the persons who were assembled in the square of S. Anthony, and they drew near to listen to the con versation. Queen Isabella complained greatly of the length of the quarantine established between the two palaces, in consequence of the measles in the children of Queen Christina, and her August Mother repeatedly It is necessary; it is necessary.'

ITALY. TERRIBLE DISASTER AT TURIN. The following brief account of a terrible and de structive explosion at the Sardinian capital, one quar ter of which city is stated to have been injured, was hurriedly written upon the margin of the Opinione of Turin, of April 26, immediately before the de pacure of the mails on the afternoon of that da y , and which arrived in London by this morning's post. The literal translation of the hasty but apparently truth ful communication, which it may be observed is received through perfectly reliable sources, is as follows : " TURIN, APRIL 26, MID-DAY.—Exploded..cheoraw the der magazine of the Place Pullone, by th e t e 'l li d injured.
