COURT CIRCUL4tR. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. • When Abd-el-Kader was at St. Cloud on Satur day, the Prince President invited him to witness a review of cavalry. The review was to take place yesterday at Versailles. The Prince President would be present, and the mancenvres commanded by the Minister of War. After the review, the Emir would visit the palace, and the great waterworks would play. In the evening, Ab i-el-Kader was to dine in Paris with the Minister of War. To-day, at two o'clock, he was to be present at the Italian Theatre, to hear the performance of Selant, an eastern sym phony by MM. Theophile Gautier and E. Never. Abd-el-Bader paid a second visit on Monday to St. Cloud, and rode out on an Arab horse with the Princ.? President in the Park for the space of about an hour. General de St. Arnaud was of the party. The Prince inquired of the Emir how his aged mother was at present? "During my captivity," replied the Arab chief, " my mother required a stick to support her step; but since my liberation, she has become younger, and can walk without any ex traneous aid." Yesterday Abd-el-Kader paid visits in Paris to several personages of note. He first went to see General Magnan, with whom he spoke of the French Army, its courage, and glory, and expressed a wish to see the manoeuvres at Vincennes. The general promised to give him notice when his wish could be gratified. The Emir afterwards paid visits to M. Fould, Minister of State; M. de Persigny, Minister of the Interior; and the Archbishop of Paris. On leaving the archbishop he proceeded to the Hotel des luvalides, where, in the absence of the Marshal Prince Jerome Bonaparte, the gover nor, he was received by General Sauboul, and the other officers of the establishment. He asked to see the tomb of the Emperor Napoleon, and ex claimed on viewing it, " This sepulchre, so great and so beautiful, is worthy of him whose immortal name I fills the world ; his mortal remains are here, but his glory is everywhere." He afterwards visited the infirmary, and said, •" It is a cause of grief to me to think that any of these brave men should have been wounded by my followers ; but I was defending my country, and the French will pardon me when they think that I was an enemy worthy of them." The Emir then went to see the Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, the Ministers of Finance and Marine, and the menagerie of M. Huguet de Mas silia. He admired exceedingly the courage of this latter individual, in entering the dens of the animals. " Never," said he, " since the time of Daniel was such a thing seen." Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer returned to Florence on the 28th, from Florence. RUSSIA. The Nouvelliste of Hamburgh, under date of Vi enna, 29th ult., says :—The Sultan had given orders to Prince Ghika to compliment the Emperor Nicholas at Wossnesensk, but the Russian consul, by superior orders, refused his visa to the Prince. It is stated that the Russian government has rejected the protest of the Ottoman Porte against the declaration of in dependence by Montenegro. It is probable that all the European powers will take the same view of the affair as Russia. "At the time of the return of General de Castel bajac, French Ambassador in Russia," says a Paris correspondent of the Emancipation of Brussels, in a letter dated the Ist, " it was every where stated that the general would not return to his post. I put you how ever on your guard against this report, by saying that the Emperor of Russia had demandedl through an influential personage, the maintenance of this dip lomatist at St. Petersburg. General Castelbajac, after an absence of two months, sets off this very day for the Russian capital. Great importance is attached to this departure ; and, it is said, that M. de Kisseleff, the Russian minister, who left Paris at the moment of the return of Louis Napoleon, may return here before the proclamation of the Empire." POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY FOR 1853. The annual publication of this vast volume has come to be looked to as an essential and indisputable harbinger of the approaching year to the metropolitan inhabitants. It is certainly one of the most extraor dinary embodiments of industry and research that has ever issued from the press, or, indeed, we might say with justice, a compilation unequalled for the won derful accuracy and utility of its referential informa tion. With the incessant extension of the capital of ;he British Empire, the Post office Directory keeps pace, omitting to record no necessary feature in any of the enormously-spreadin g ramifications of the Great City. Nothing can convey so striking an idea of the enormous magnitude of mighty London, as the contents of this volume. The map, prefixed to its 2,100 pages, presents a view of the great hive of popu lation embraced within the limits of a parallelogram nine miles by five, the angles being respectively occu pied by Stratford and Kilburn, by Greenwich and West Brompton. How different from the area of the modern Babylon when the " Post-office London Directory" first appeared, at the close of the past century, for the present is the fifty-fourth annual pub lication of this authoritative work ! it is obvious that the present edition must be considerably the most copious that has yet been printed, but we can safely endorse the truthful statement in the Preface that, in the volume now lying before us, " the same at tention which has obtained for the Work the designa tion of " Handbook to the commerce of the first commercial city in the world," has been devoted to accuracy and appropriate classification." It is as usual found to consist of separate Directories, namely, the Official—the Street—the Commercial—the Trades'— the Law—the Court—the Parliamentary—the Postal —the City—the Conveyance—the Banking, and the Assurance Directories. You are sure to find the name of the householder, or man of trade or business, without any puzzling search, all emergencies being provided for by the clear and accurate subdivisions of these component parts. The exceeding accuracy, as well as comprehensive ness of the " Post Office London Directory " as a work of reference, is attested by not only its increasing circulation and its oracular character, but by the signal failure of certain mischievous and active at tempts to damage its reputation, by the dissemination of false statements which have been most signally re futed. The Editors, who in their " Refutation," pub lished last January, made summary work of the grossly unfounded charges brought against their work, state, with a pardonable pride, that the shabbily hostile efforts to injure its repute, have had an effect very different from that contemplated by Mr. F. W. Watkins's " Review," as manifested by the fact that several hundred more orders have been received for the Edition of 1853 than were ever obtained on the can vass for any previous Edition. Strict and minute accuracy must be the life and soul of such a com pilation ; and the general testimony accorded, by the business world, to the scrupulous care bestowed on rendering it a reliable guide through the gigantic labyrinth of London, is the surest and most satis factory proof of the rigid fidelity which characterizes A Paris letter, addressed to the Emancipation of Brussels, says : "It has already been said that Abd-el Kader had, without knowing it, turned the heads of several fe males; he must now be aware of it, for I have it from excellent authority, that however strange it may appear to your serious readers, particularly to the fair portion of them at Brussels, he every day receives re quests for audiences from some of the most charming women in Paris. Whether ho is insensible to their appeal or not I dare not say, but I should b 3 inclined to think not, from the following fact, for the truth of which I think I can vouch. A lady, well known in the world, for which reason I shall refrain from men tioning her name, lately passing near Amboise, solicited the favour of an audience of Abd-el-Kader, which was granted. After a long conversation, the Emir charmed with her manners, offered her the strongest mark of confi- dente, that of visiting his wives. The proposition was ac cepted, and the fair ♦isitor was conducted to the depart ment used as the , seraglio. The sixteen wives of the son of the Prophet were lying about pell-mell on the carpet, enveloped in large shawls, or bournous, either sleeping or ruminating, for with the women of the East existence is confined to that. They never roused themselves from their torpor, at the most only turning their heads towards the stranger. One only among the number, and apparently the youngest, rose and coolly examined the dress,and particularly the rings of the lady, and then without uttering a word, agai❑ seated herself in a corner. These women have the real Arab countenance ; they are ugly, and, if we may judge from this specimen, the Musaulman seraglios are the least attractive institutions of the Prophet. It is well known, however, that in Turkey there aro very strong excep tions to this fact. It is with this suite of companions that Abd-el-Hader will repair to Broussa." A grand stag hunt took place on Monday in the forest of St. Germain, at which the Prince Presi dent, the Minister of War, several generals, and other persons of distinction were present. A deputation from the Costa Rica Company of London for the junction of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, consisting of E. Halswell, Esq., F.R.S., W. Martin, Eiq., and Col. R. Wright Warren, has ar rived at Meurice's Hotel, and had several conferences with the Council of Surveillance on final arrange ments for carrying out this important object. M. de Sallandrouze has consented to accept the post of chairman of the jury which is to decide on the articles to be sent from France to the Industrial Exhibition in Dublin next year. The Government securities and railway shares again rose yesterday. The Four-and-a-Half per Cants. opened at 108 f., and closed at 1081. 25c. for the end of the month : the Three per Cents. closed at 841. 75c.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,800 f.; Rouen, 1,0501.; Havre, 570 f.; Great Northern, 9251.; Avig non, 6051.; Basle, 3801. ; Paris and Strasburg, 9151.; Paris and Lyons, 1,020 f.; Great Western, 755 f.; Lyons and Avignon, 760 f.; St Dizier to Gray, 5901.

That the work has been corrected throughout to the most recent period, and all possible emendations introduced into each sheet as it passed through the press, a specification of a few of the most notable alterations effected very recently, will render suffi ciently apparent. Thus we find that the name of the late Duke of Wellington has been erased from the numerous offices he held, causing alterations in the following parts : Official Index, page 36 ; Chief Officers of State, page 38 ; Lord-Lieutenants, page 41 ; Privy Council List, page 42 ; Commander-in-Chief's Office, page 46 ; Tower of London, page 68 ; Trinity House, page 69 ; Street Directory, pages 474 ; Public Schools (King's College), page 1491; corrected in the Court Directory by omitting the titles, page 1747 ; and in Parliamentary, pages 17.56 and 1771 ; ard the following alterations consequent thereon, and occurring more recently, have been made BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON bTOCK EXCHANGE, Nov. 3, 1852.

GER MANY. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Munich, 30th ult. :—" The news that negotiations had been opened between M. Prokesch d'Osten and the Baron de Manteuffel, in order to come to an ar rangement on the customs' question, has been already contradicted. We now learn that no one State of the coalition has sought to come to any understand ing with Prussia, who on her side has allowed the matter to rest in statu quo. It is, however, certain that the allies of Darmstadt have fixed on the follow ing points relative to the conferences of Vienna:-1. The allied States will ratify the project of Vienna, letter C, on the Ist January, 1854. They will enter into a customs' union with Austria. 2. The path to a reunion with Prussia will remain open. 3. The resolutions which shall be adopted will not be con sidered as definitive, unless Prussia, before the Ist of January, 1854, shall not show herself disposed to accede to the conditions which the coalition had made at Berlin. There are also other points, but they are less important." A letter from Vienna states, that the hereditary Grand Duke of Russia and his wife will pass the win ter in that capital. His Majesty the Emperor has been graciously pleased to confer on Baron James Rothschild, the Royal Imperial consul-general and head cf the banking-house at Paris, the order of the Iron Crown of the second class. The Lloyd Steam Navigation Company has pur chased several steam-boats, barques, and materials, which formerly belonged to the firm of Perelli and Paradise, which has hitherto maintained the steam navigation of the Po. The different garrisons of the monarchy Lave, by order of the Emperor, held military funeral services. They were everywhere conducted on the plan of that held at Vienna, and similar to what would be per formed for a native Austrian military field-marshal. The Duke of Wellington, however, being a Pro testant, the other religious parts of the ceremony are of course omitted. At Venice 4000 men were drawn up in grand parade. The officers wore crape round their left arm, and the flags of the men of war were balf-mast high. No. CCCXLI. EPSOM AUTUMN MEETING.

FRIGHTFUL CHARGE OF INFANTICIDE, Yesterday, Mercy Steer, s young female, only 17 years of age, of delicate frame, inanimate expression, and evidently labouring under severe indisposition, was charged, at Lambeth Police-office, with the infanticide of her female child, of which she had been delivered, and with its subsequent mutilation, under the most frightful and appalling circumstances. The prisoner was without professional assistance. The first witness called was Mrs. Elizabeth Whitby, a married lady, re siding with her husband, at No. 12, James's-terrace, Commercial Road, Peckham, who deposed that the pri soner came into ber service on the 28th September last. On the 20th of October, she told witness that she felt very ill, and that as the place didinot agree with her, she thought she had better go home. On complaining of her illness she said she had got a severe oold. The witness consented to her leaving the service, and accordingly on the day last mentioned she went away, stating that she was going to Billinghurst, Sussex. The prisoner was then very ill, and witness, commiserating (with her, sent a boy to assist her in carrying her box to the omnibus to take her into the Borough. The witness had not seen her from that time to the present day. During the month she resided with the witness, she (the wit ness) had no suspicion that the prisoner was in the family way ; but some friends having made some re marks about her, the witness told her that she thought she was in the family way; that she had spoken to a doc tor about her, and asked the prisoner if she would go with her to see him. Witness made this offer thinking it would induce her to tell the truth. The prisoner replied, " Oh, dear, no ma'am, nothing of the sort," and expressed her readiness to accompany witness to the doctor. This satis fied witness at the moment, and she said no more to the prisoner about it. On Saturday, the 19th of October, about half-past nine, the prisoner lighted the fire and pre pared the breakfast. After the witness had breakfasted she called to the prisoner, and found her in , her bed room, lying on the bed. She stated that she was not well, but that she would be better presently. The wit ness inquired where she felt the pain, and she replied in her back, end that she had often felt it before. Tho witness observed to her that she did not like the appearance ; that it was more like a married wo man's feeling than anything else, and again asked her if she should like to see a medical man 7 1 The pri soner cried, and said she should not like to see one. The witness then left her, and at about twelve o'clock she came down stairs and said she was much better. Wit ness made her some gruel and told her to keep quiet. Nothing more was said until the following Monday even ing, when the prisoner complained that her legs ached very much. Witness ordered her to bed, but she did not go until half an hour afterwards. The next day she went away as already described by witness. On Tues day, the 26th ult., Serjeant Qainnear came to the witness's residence, and then the prisoner's bed-room was examined for the first time, and on taking up the carpet by the side of her bed, the under side of it was found to be very much stained; the floor under it was also stained, but had been washed. The prisoner left behind her a pair of boots, one of which on examination was also found to be stained. The serjcant then came down stairs with witness, and they proceeded to the water closet. There the witness saw Quinnear find, thrown into the soil of theicesspool, the body of a child, cut into several pieces, which he took away. To complete the depositions it was found to be necessary to have the evidence of Mr. Flower, the police surgeon, who had examined the body ; and for that purpose the prisoner was remanded till a future day. During the last week or two fate seems to have de creed that my views, with respect to the results of the great races, and a few of the lesser ones, should be com pletely nullified. The steeple chases at Worcester, yes terday, fully exemplified this; for Proceed, my particu lar selection for the Grand Annual Steeple Chase, while running very forward in the raco, and looking a winner all over, at the second jump out of the moors, on landing, could not maintain his footing, rolled over, and was instantly out of the race. My principal selection for the Selling Steeple Chase, Fazeley, although at Worcester, did not start for either of his engagements; the horse whom I had named as next best to him—the Greatbeart gelding—was brought to a stand still suddenly, by get ting his foot in a grip, and came down a burster, by which all chance of his winning was annihilated. At the time he fell he was, to all appearance, the winner in a canter. For the Hurdle Race, I gave the General and Fazeley as likely occupants of the first and second places; it was found, however, that the General had had quite enough of it in his race of Tuesday, and in the steeple chase, and, consequently, did not start. Fazeley, as I before remarked, though in the vicinity of the course, did not make his appearance there, for some un fathomable reason or other. My remark that Tomboy was their principal opponent was verified by the race, as he beat his field of seven, including Dr. Husband and Harriet, in very clover style. The race for the Grand Annual Steeple Chase, after Proceed had been disposed of by his fall, and Chieftain had met with an accident, was never in doubt, as the General was much too fast for the Reiver and Quickstep, and Rat -trap's chance had been thrown away by cutting out the work for his stable companion. The General's victory was accomplished by three lengths. Chieftain is said to be so seriously dam aged that he will have to be shot. Archer, his jockey, escaped unhurt. The sport provided by Mr. Dorling, of the . hybrid class, to come off to-morrow at Epsom , consists of the Scramble Steeple Chase—a two mile run; the Durdan's Plate—a three-quallcrs of a mile spin; the Free Ilandi. and the Epsona Autumn Steeple cap Hurdle Race ; Chase. The last-named —which will be run over the usual steeple chase course, about four miles—will, in all probability, be contested by Peter Simple, Vi c t ress, Young Lottery, the Scre w, Annie Laurie, and Forest Lad the General, the Reiver, and Maria Monk, may also run, but their exercise in the mud at Worcester yester day, must prove a serious drawback to any chance they ma y possess. Sir Peter Laurie, whether he rims or not at 11st 81b, can have no chance of running. I am not over-confident of Peter Simple starting ; but if be runs he ought to win with ease. Victress will p ro b a bl y run well; and Young Lottery will, no doubt, be a candidate for the third or fourth place. The owner of the Screw has, I think, a fair chance this time of landing his horse a winner. Ten and Sixpence and Ringleader, whether are of no conseque nce . Annie Laurin several others. Forest Lad will runners is o mader otherwise, safe by probably represent M . r. Iliggin's interests. As I before rem arked, if Peter Simple runs, I think be will win; in his absence the race will probably lie with Victress, Young Lottery, the Screw, and Forest Lad, the lot not unlikely finding their way home in the order named. J. B. (Malton)—l am not aware of the exact time that Hungerford was scratched for the Cambridgeshire stakes; but thus much I do know, that he was struck out some time before nine o'clock on Monday evening the 25th ultimo.

The first night of the dramatic season was celebrated on the Ist inst., by the production of a new gorgeous Hippo-dramatic spectacle of enchantment, in two acts, by Mr. St. Clair Jones, entitled The Bride of Golconda, or the Genius of the Ring. Without ranking so high as Peter the Great dud last season in interest or effect, when it was produced with such signal effect under the admirably efficient stage-management of Mr. Leclercq, and enhanced by the noble acting of Mr. Ryder, the new piece is one, nevertheless, that reflects considerable credit on the resources of the establishment. Amurath, the Sultan of Golconda (Mr. Maddocks), a potentate of lofty mien and glittering garb, after returning from the Ahairea, or Spring Hunt, in a thorough Astleian style of oriental magnificence, is smitten by a holy desire to make his tearful meditations at the tomb of his sainted sire. Whilst paying the tribute of affection at the mau soleum of the late respected Sultan, he is favoured by the apparition of the genius Syndarac, on his charmed steed. This excellent spirit, who presides over the destinies of the royal race, presents him with a mystic ring, which is to act as a monitor by inflicting digital pain whenever he is about to misbehave himself. Nevertheless, despita its warnings, he allows him self to be so far infatuated by jealousy, raised in his breast by the villainous machinations of Hassan, his commander-in-chief (Mr. Dolman), who asp;-es to possess the fair Selina (Miss Fenton), the be trothed bride of Amurath, that, blinded by wrath, he attempts to stab her as she sleeps. Now, kings who are f. 'oared by the visible friendship of beneficent genii, should pay due reverence thereto, or they are sure to smart for it; and the passionate prince, ere he can effect his sanguinary purpose, is suddenly transformed by the exasperated Syndarac into a hairy monster, a wild - man of the woods, and transported into a stseage region of rocks and torrents. Here he undergoes the enjoyment of being hunted by a strong posse of his subjects, horse and foor, Valiant is his resistance, and superhuman is his strength. " The misbegotten knaves" (not, however, in Kendal green) " let drive at hiss" in all quarters. Tearing up a sapling of the forest, he knocks them down by halt-doz-ns at a time, for at three fell swoops we wit nessed eighteen Pecans drop like nine-pins. Numbers, however, prevail, and after this tsaring chew, which afforded exquisite pleasure to the spectators, the brutified Sultan is captured, and marched cif to the royal mena gerie. During these mishaps, Hassan, who is an unmi tigated villain, plots to usurp the throne, now filled by Allbeg, the late Vizier, and father of Selina. All parties paying a visit to the menagerie, the curious proceedings of the monster awaken suspicions in the Princess, and greatly puzzle all the visitors. A tiger somehow gets loose, and would infallibly devour the Princess, who is left alore by the sudden flight of all the rest of the party, but the hairy man rushes on and strangles ir. He is now considered to have expiated his misdeeds, and re appears in his proper form in time to suppress the war kindled by the traitor Hassan. This wretch bad for merly made love to Zerlinda (Miss M'Lean), the daugh ter of Almalal (Mr. S. Smith), formerly a general in the Golconda army, but fur some time an exile, who, by the way, comes i n ver y goo d ti me to h ea d the loyal troops. Z •rlinda, discovering his faithlessness and her rejection for the more eligible Selina, becomes duly infuriated, and with terrible denunciations (%hich were rapped out with an energy that made the hcese resound) is about to im molate her rival, when the übiquitous Genius interposes, and prevents this catastrophe. What part of the piece this a I t oseek kots too of c occurred in we d o not prec i sely recollect, nor is it of any peculiar import ance , theliar importan ce , f or t h ere i s a d e li ght f u l comp l ex i ty in ri pieces curiously t of this tho unravel. isschoo In the end, o school that i wouldt be rash f course, the wicked • h 'The and the virtuous reap a tri umphant reward.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WORCESTER AUTUMN STEEPLECHASE WEDNESDAY. The inauguration of the steeplechase season has cer tainly fallen into the hands of the inhabitants of the " faithful city," and from the banks of the " fishful Severn" the opening of the winter campaign dates its first dispatch. From an incident alluded to in the con cluding paragraph we shall be brief in preliminaries, the less to be regretted, that the ground is the same as that we have often described, and the fluctuations in the forenoon at the Hop-pole, Bell, Unicorn, and other places where betting men most do congregate, presented nothing startling.

TILE AUSTRALIAN MAIL STEAMER MELBOURNE. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 3. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Madrid, C a pt a i n J o h n W ee k s , we h ave received intelligence of the arrival at Lisbon, on the 24 . th ult., of the Australi an R oya l ma il screw steam-ship Mel bourne, dismasted and looking badly. Several of the passengers of this ill-starred ship, who could afford to risk the loss of their passage money, have come home in the Madrid. The Melbourne, after being once:dismasted during her pa ssage f rom the Thames to Plymouth, which caused a considerable delay at that port for the pur pose of refitting, and after having sustained some damage in endeavouring to leave Hamoaze by a col lision with two of her Majesty's vessels in that har bour, which necessitated a second detention for re pairs, finally s t arte d f rom Plymouth on the 15th ult., with the Australian mails, a large number of passen gers, a valuable cargo, and specie to the value of nearly 200,0001. s t er li ng. What befell her shortly after this inauspicious commencement of her employ ment in the Australian mail service will be gathered from the subjoined account, with which we have been furnished by one of the passengers : " We left Plymouth on the afternoon of the 15th of October, and, with a fine fair wind, ran at the rate of 230 miles per day up to the Itth; on t h at day we had a rather high sea on the side, which caused the ship to roll much. About 11 o'clock Captain Cox retired to his cabin, having written his night orders and sent them to the officer in charge of the watch. Th e n i ght was fine, and a fresh breeze blowing. A little a f ter 12 I felt the ship give a sudden roll or jerk, and soon heard a cry that all the topmasts were gone; luckily, few of the pas sengers were on deck, or some dreadful accident must have occurred. " flurrying on deck, a sad scene presented itself; the whole of the topmasts were overboard except the mizen one, which was lying on the quarter-deck; the jibboom was gone, and, in tact, nothing standing but the three lower masts and yards. " The ship was rolling heavily and very mueh over on the right side, ow i ng , I suppose, to the wreck hanging there, and which was thumping against the sides sadly. As the day broke we discovered a sail, and our captain ordered a signal to be made, and soon after two small vessels bore towards us, and the captain asked them to stand by us, which they did. Everybody was now em ployed cutting and clearing away the wreck, and about the middle of the day, the 20th, it was got clear; but, unluckily. the whole mass became entangled round the screw. The engines, which up to now had been going, then suddenly stopped, and then, indeed our situation was very bad, as all the wreck being fast on to the stern, and at times beating against the rudder, made it almost impossible to steer the ship. " An attempt was now made to raise the screw, but failed, and men were then sent with long knives and hatchets lashed on poles to try and cut the wreck from the screw. Some of the stuff was detached, but still a considerable quantity was wound firmly round the screw. " The captain now determined at every risk to try and raise the screw, and alter about 12 hours' excessive la bour, and with the assistance of a large number of the passengers, it was got up high enough to cut away the ropes from it, and about midnight of the 20th it was clear. " The engines were now set on, and as the ship did not leak we continued our voyage —the ship in a sad plight. Our misfortunes were not yet over, as you will see, for on the following day a leak was discovered in the mail room. The bags were brought on deck, and many of them were found to be soaked, and some of the parcels also wet through. " The officer in charge of the mails now sent for the captain, and after some conversation we found the ship turning round, and were soon informed that Commander Phillimore had requested Captain Cox to return to Lisbon to stop the leak. " Wo at last got into the Tagus on the 24th, and glad enongh were we to find ourselves once more at anchor. What is to be our fate we hardly know, but we hear that notwithstanding our captain was requested to come here to stop the leak we are not to go into dock. So says the commander of the lalexible, who, it appears, has some power over our captain, in consequence of the mails being on board. Be this as it may, we hope Cap tain Cox will not leave this port without seeing hie un fortunate ship put into proper order, considering the number of souls, about 253 besides the valuable cargo he has under his charge. " And now to another point. The state of the lower, or passengers deok of this ship has been truly awful. There has not been a dry bed from one end to the other; there aro a great many of the passengers very ill. A re presentation has been made to the captain on the sanitary condition of the ship, but in her present crowded state it is almost impossible to say how any improvement can be made, unless the captain has the power to send one fourth of the number back to their friends. " Messrs. Charles Walton and Sons, of Gracechurch street, are the agents for the company, and this ship of unfortunate celebrity." In reference to the disasters which have fallen upon the Melbourne, our Lisbon correspondent writes as fol lows : " Nothing can be more distressing than the position of the unfortunate passengers of the Melbourne, or more difficult than that of Captain Cox, who, having put into this port in consequence of a leak, is now required by the officer in charge of the mails to proceed upon his voyage to Australia without docking his vessel to examine the leak, which, being of so much consequence when the vessel was rolling about in the ocean, is now declared by Captain Wolrige, of her Majesty's steamer Inflexible, to be nothing at all, because the Melbourne makes little water while at anchor, or even under steam, in the placid waters of the Tague. In short, the officer in charge of the mails, who required the Melbourne to put into Lisbon in consequence of the leak, which soaked his mail bags, now orders her to sea again as soon as his cabin is dry; but in the face of the official survey made by the officers of this Arsenal, in the presence of Lloyd's agent, declaring that the Mel bourne must be unloaded or docked, it is fortunate for the 253 passengers and crow that the probable forfeiture of the insurance upon above 200,000/. of specie on board (were the orders of Captain Wolrige and the officer in charge of the mails to be followed) will prevent the vessel again attempting her unlucky voyage until some thing has been done to remedy her more dangerous defects. " I am told this Government has most handsomely offered Captain Cox the use of the Arsenal-dock, and that the deposit of mud is now being cleared away from its entrance to admit the Melbourne's draught of water, so that she will be docked in the course of a few days, and probably before her masts and rigging can be put in proper repair. Thus no time will be lost with her Majesty's mails, while some little care is taken of the lives of her subjects. " It seems incredible that this vessel should have been sent out from England upon such a voyage, and with a number of passengers so far exceeding all means of ac commodation prepared for them. Many return home by the present packet, and others would be glad to do so if they could afford to run the risk of forfeiting their passage money, which steam companies aro seldom in clined to refund ; th e y have held almost daily meetings, and split into nuntereus factions, to the increased per plexity of Captain Cox, who appears h ave no power to to do more thanf get his vessel readyor sea as well as he can, and proceed upon his voyage with such passen gers as remain by him. "I on that the rolling of the Melbourne, a slightly agitated sea, is some thing awful, and that, it being impossible to have any of e her lower ports open for ventilation, she is much am assured en with worse packet-ship than she was a man-of-war, although naval officers would still appear to consider her fit for ser vice." THE "MELBOURNE.' TO THE EDITOR OF THE 817 N. SIR,— Having just received a letter from a friend on board the Melbourne steamer, bound for Sydney, I for ward you a short extract : " Oct. 18," says my friend, " I went to bed about 10 o'clock, but did not sleep so well as usual, in consequence of the rolling of the ship, which was very considerable. Between the hours of 12 and 1 of the 19th, I heard a most terrific noice on deck, accompanied by a tremend ous crash in the steward's pantry—the whole together and all the sailors, being quite startling.
