Dickens. Several raw characters- .ire intseduced in the new number of Bleak I - louse—many of them decided originals." As intimate associates of our old trieed Mr. Guppy, precedence must, of course, be given to young Smallweed, sometimes called Chick Weed, "as it were jocularly to express a fledgling," and some t meg (metaphorically) Small, but on his own hearth Bart, from his Christian name Bartholoisnea— aud Mr. Jobling, owner of some very fashionable whiskers, which latter gentleman, by the way, be comes the successor of pour Nerno in the occupancy of the room at Krook's, the Lord Chancellor's. An en . tertainment given by Mr. Guppy to these associates is the source of much amusement. It takes place at an eating-house where Small, or Chick as we may call him at pleasure, reveals his " elfin power " in " knowing all about it, whatever it is "—giving " an unearthly cock of his venerable eye" when ordering the repast from the " bouncing young female of forty " who acts as waitress. The effect of the banquet upon Mr. Jobliug is described with delight ful humour—that personage not consenting to con fess that he is " a man again " in consequence of the nutriment administered to him in his apparent state of inanition, until the dinner has very nearly reached its conclusion. He acknowledges himself to be "just born" after the first plateful, to be rapidly " growing up" during the consumption of the second, to be " in his teens" when the marrow puddings are about to be introduced, to be " coning of age" on the ap proach of the three Cheshites, and to have arrived at maturity while the glasses of rum are in preparation. William Guppy with his blighted affections, Tony Jobling with his manly vshisliers and his bat with a rim peculiarly glistening, " as if it had been a favou rite snail-promenade," and Bartholomew Smallweed, whose father is reported to have been John Doe and his mother the only female member of the family of Richard Roe (venerable names recently erased from among the number of our legal fictions by order of the Imperial Legislature)—promise to aid very amusingly, though in a subordinate capacity, in the development of the plot of the narrative. The last chapter in the number just issued, tends very materiallyi i to aid in the unra velment of that same plot—already, it must be con fessed, sufficiently intricate and mysterious. But before this chapter is reached we are introduced, by another, to the family of the Smallweeds—Judy, the sister of Bart, together with the grandfather and grandmother of those interesting orphans—the grand mother in her dotage, and the grandfather (by reason of his rascally tales of usury) decidedly in what Mr. Rogers once:facetiously termed his " twee- dotage." Employed as the busy char WOMtill of the Smallweed:, we meet once more with dear little Charley. And here again we are introduced to another new cha racter, in the person of Mr. Geo r g e, a visitor, or rather an apparent victim of the old mone y lendin g Grandfather Smallweed. Mr. George, who promises to improve upon acquaintance, turns out to, be the proprietor of "George's Shooting Gallery," near the Haymarket, where a queer little fellow named Phil acts as his factotum. It may be objected, in reference to the family of the Smallweeds, by the more captious, that the manner in which the cushion is hurled at the grandmother by the grandfather is, to say the least of it, somewhat preposterous. But, at any rate, if an extravagance, it is at least one in the highest degree ludicrous, and therefore, we sub mit, pardonable —reducing the assailant, upon each occasion, to the necessity of being shaken up regain, like a great black draught. The twenty-second chapter cf .Bleak House, already alluded to as likely to prove one of some importance, by tending to clear up the mysteries of the fiction, has reference to Tom All-alone's and to the dwelling house of Mr. Tulkinghorn. A detective offi cer—Mr. Bucket—sketched to " the very life," by one who knows the organization of the London Police Force, better, perhaps, than any other Londoner—conducts Mr.:Snagsby to Tom All-alone's to identify Jo, and thence conducts Jo to Mr. Tulk inghorn's to identify the female whom he had guided to the home and the grave of Nemo. The manner in which all of this is brought about is wonderfully natural, and yet, at the same time, also, marvellously romantic. The closing scene in the sitting-room in Lincoln's Inn-fields, where the veiled female is dis ccvered in solitude, standing in the middle of the apartment, surrounded by a bright light, to the won dering gaze of Jo and his companions, is in some scarcely accountable way singularly striking and effec tive. Every thing appears to indicate that the lady who hired Jo to point out Krook's and the city graveyard, was, in truth, as must before now have been conjec tured by the reflective, no other than Lady bed lock, disguised in the clothes of her waiting-maid, Mademoiselle fiortense. The said Mademoiselle — now dismissed from further attendance at Chesney Wold—is the spectral personage who personates her former mistress in her own apparel to the bewilder ment of the poor crossing-sweeper. Tyro problems in the story we want solved—firstly, Can Nemo have been the Captain Rawdon, to whom Mr. George, above-mentioned, acted formerly as a military at tendant ? And, secondly—and this is now more than ever a matter of curiosity to 11E—What was Mademo seille Hortense about when she walked through the wet grass in her stockings ? Best of all the descrip tions contained in the present number, which, in many respects, is about the most admirable instalment of Bleak House yet published, is that of the s qu alid po pulation of Tom All-alone's, among wh om we en counter once more, poor Jenny, th e bricklayer's wife, and her companions. z Phi "himself again" in the two etching by the way, is g s, both of them being worthy of the illustrator of Nicholas Nichleby - Atlrg A His Hi g hness the Itaijah of Coorg, IN „ - LL.- 4 4 ' i laraerous suite, visited the gardens esteray, to the the balloon ascent with the military - band, pawed by 4: v eteran Green.

By Juvenis Shoberl. This little work contains some ♦ery pleasing pieces. It is simple and unassuming, and while it does not aspire to any remarkable attainments, it may fairly lay claim to more than ordinary attention. Its merit consists in simplicity, the thoughts are naturally expressed, and the ideas are good. For a first effort it is very satisfactory, and it is to be expected that the author, after more experience and cultivation, will produce something superior. The following is one of the short poems : THE TWO PATHS. There is a path that leads through life, Straight onward as we go, O'er which thick boughs of care and strife Deceitful shadows throw. It seems a pleasant path to all First entering on the way, That brings us quickly to the fall Of our short earth born day. There is another path that leads Through lite, and many dread To enter there, for he who feeds Upon the precious bread That there is formed will surely meet The world's contemptuous smile, Yet wisdom with her shining feet Lights up this path the while. It is the path the strong must choose, It ill befits the weak; It is the path that fools refuse— That wise men gladly seek. And they who walk therein confess, As hope and joy increase, That all its ways are pleasantness And all its paths are peace. PROJECTILE WEAPONS OF WAR AND EXPLOSIVE COMPOUND& By John ,Scoffern, M. 8., F.S.A. Cooke and Whitley. This is a republication of a work which appeared in 1845, to which is now added a full description of the newly-invented rifles. Mr. Scoffern commences with the history of the long and cross-bow of our an cestors—he explains the construction of the congreve and other rockets, giving tables of the different ra n g e of the various weapons now in use. rie tt* 6 $ 1 0 $ $ 46 40 0 4 80 0 0 00 SUN, LONDON, A NEW GAZETTEER OF THE BRITISH ISLANDS, 6-c. We have received the seventh and eighth parts of Sharp's New British Gazetteer, a work which, in its cowpiete two-volume form, has elicited the msrlted commendation of several of our contemporaries. This gazetteer is compiled with exceeding care and exact ness ; the print is clear and legible, the arrangement distinct, the condensation masterly, and in accuracy and fulness of statistical information it cannot possibly be surpassed. Not merely do we find in its pages concise descriptions of some sixty thousand places and objects a note, together with full particulars of the boundaries, registered electors, &c., of the Par liamentary boroughs, and accurate references to the sheets of the Ordnance surveys, but a most useful appendix is subjoined, containing a general view of the resources of the United Kingdom, a short chronology of events connected with history, &c., and an abstract of the results of the late census of 1851. As a lucid and well-arranged compilation of information that comes home to every one, we can cordially add our recommendation to the praises already bestowed upon Mr. Sharp's British Gazetteer. It comprehends not merely the topography, but likewise the hydrographv of the British Isles. PHILIP'S EMIGitAIvI"S GUIDE TO AUSTRALIA. _ _ A short sensible pocket volume, well worth reading by those who have an (le on the Australian diggings. It is illustrated with a capital map of the gold fields of Australia, taking in all the south-eastern portion of the Antartic continent from Port Priiiip to five degrees north of Sydney, and comprising all the recent discoveries made in the auriferous districts, by Hargraves, Hunter, Clark, &c.

An entertaining book of travels from New York to California, with a visit to the celebrated Mormon colony at the Great Salt Lake. It is written in a lively style, and possesses the attraction of variety. RECOLLECTIONS of MILITARY SERVICE. Ey Thomas Morris. Effingham Wilson. This is the fourth edition of this little work, which is its best recommendation. It includes the eventful years of 1813.14 and 15, and the countries of Ger many, Holland, Belgium, and France, and comprises some details of Quatre Bras and Waterloo. THE POPULAR _EDUCATOR. Part V. John Cassell. Replete with sound and copious information in Geology, Botany, Architecture, and various useful nranchas of practic.d learning, it is a valuable, and should be a popular, production. THE WORKING-MAN'S FRIEND. Part Xl. One of John Cassell's clever and entertaining com pilations. THE ILLUSTRATED EXHIBITOR. A Magazine of Art. Part VIII. John Cassell. To say nothing of the text, the illustrations are so admirably executed as to render this magazine a phenomenon of cheapness. Conspicuous among those in the present part are " A Prairie on Fire" and the " Bear Chase in the Alps in Feudal Times." THE BIOGRAPHICAL MAGAZINE. The ninth number of this well got-up periodical, edited by Passmore Edwards, i 3 devoted to the biographies of Goldsmith, Reece, Pemberton, and Neander. THE DIAL OF LOVE. By Mary Howitt. The little work, coming out in parts under this title, is excellently suited for the delectation and in struction of children of either sex, of every rank and disposition. WONDERFUL 7HINGS. Tbis little weekly periodical, which is to be com pleted in twenty-four twopenny parts, has already run a third of its career. Its accurate and interesting descriptions of the most remarkable wonders of the ancient and modern world render it a very enter taining and eligible acquisition. CREMORNE GARDENS. --- An absurd rumour was flying about town this morning that the Italian Brothers had met with a fatal accident in their balloon ascent last evening, the fact being that they returned safe and sound to the gardens before eleven o'clock, after landing at Ealing. The experiment made with the parachute, in which Madame Poitevin is to make her descent on Monday next, was most satisfactory. It was attached to the balloon laden with a weight exceeding that of the fair aeronaut by twenty-eight pounds, and, being let go at. a considerable elevation, descended gently at Acton. Mr. Simpson was resolved to make this precautionary trial for his own satisfaction and that of Madame PLitevin, and we commend him for neglecting no measure to ensure the perfect safety of his adventu rous employes. There are many feats, truly marvel lous to behold, nightly enacted at Cremorne Gardens, but we never entertain the slightest apprehension of a failure on the score of either skill or security, under the vigilant eye of the present spirited and j ustly -popular proprietor. THE ARCHJEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE. NEWCASTLE ON• TYNE, WEDNESDAY.—Yesterday the Section of Antiquities met in the theatre of the Philo. sophical Society, Lord Talbot de Malahide in the chair. Papers were read by Mr. Yates, F.R S., on the Limes the Rhine and the Danube; by the Rev. Transrhenanus of the Roman Empire, the great boundary on incised markings, attributed to the CbMaerrirtiiGec rrpejeorniinowidne,gi 'oticed upon certain rocks in the northern parts of England; and by Mr. W. Hylton Longstaffe, on the evidence of Saxon architecture at Jarrow and other places in the county of Durham.

No. CeXCVIX, A FEW WORDS ON THE CESAREWITCH AND CA MBRIDGE:•1111S-TA-K14:S. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. S either of I e t a h n e n se ot e n o ai si t e a r ke t s h the s handicapgoo db for t s being constructed rathe r b etter than the averag e, I sup pose they must Le allowed to pass muster. It is not my intention to-day to attempt the selection of a winner, but merely to point out those horses who are well or badly handicapped. In the Cesirewitch list, Voltigeur, at Bst, if he were his old form, which h e i s not, would be fairly weighted; half a stone less, us the case is, would scarcely give him a chance. Newminstsr and Woolwich, I believe, do not accept. Kingston, at Bst 41b, is evidently ove rdosed ; and Daniel O'Rourk e , at Bst 11b, is much in the same predicament. Stockwell, Stilton, and Songstress, are quite out of the fray at 7 st 131 b. Cardinal Wiseman has 101 b too much to carry, and Joe Miller's chance, at 7st 10Ib, is rather an interior one. Windischgratz, at 7st 91b, if in respectable condition, is weighed very fairly. Terpsichore will never do at 7st 61b ; nor will the Indian Warrior at 7st 51b. Melford is not over burthened at 7st 41b ; neither is Le Juif at 6st 131 b. Candlewick, at 6st 9,13, will probably be a moderate fa vourite, being very well in. Kingfi s h e r is well enough in at 6st 51b to be Scott's horse on the day. Redmond O'llaulon, Est 41b, will, probably, re-' present the Marquis of Waterford's interests. Phlegra, 6st 41b, if in her last year's form, is very dangerous. The crack Scarecrow is very fairly weighted at 6st 41b, and if his trial in July was correct peoughtblgetthoon is letcontinuloo ea seat great6st f 2 a l v b e t urite for this stake. il Pancake, Waterfall, and Iled g 1 Dangerous,io are all beauti fully handicapped, Est 21b b e i ng a weyigalicitntthhaits Itbink she could win with if p u t to i t. Padd Bird, Waverleh Ilex , Babe B , Benitia, Pan,f Blue, In the Cambridgeshire th e we i ghts range very w id e ly —from 9st 3113 down to 4st 131 b, a matter of 60 poun d s . Teddington, Mountain Deer, Newminster, and Turnus have more weight allotted to th em than they can conve niently carry. Glauca at Bst 31b, wad Ariosto at Bst 21 b , are treated much better than th e foregoing. H o bbl e Noble, who has been backed for a good bit of money, to my thinking has some five or six p ounds too much. Th e Babette, favourably treated by the " powers that be. " same remark will apply to Stockwell. Hagley, if he has any of his old speed left, at 7st 91b ought to run forward, but I believe he has been training off lately. Frantic, I think, has a pound or two too much at Tat 81b, but it is a nice point to determine on. Grief at 7st 61b over this course is comfortably in. The same observation will apply to Melford at 7st 21b. Gladiole is treated anything bat badly at 6st 91b. Lancaster will probably be the Mar quis's horse, being capitally in at Est 61b. King Pepin is fairly weighted at Est 61b, as is Evadne at 6st 51b—the latter a very dangerous-looking customer. Azael at 6st 21b will take a vast deal of beating ; as w ill Pl ot at s s t 9lb. Paddy Bird, Puritan, and Alfred the Great—the first-named at 6st, and,the other two at sst 121 b—are by no means over-dosed with weight. The Cambridgeshire, being the best handicap of the two, is almost certain to have the largest acceptance in proportion to the entries, consequently will be the greatest betting race of the two. As soon as the acceptances are declared, I shall make a point of entering at full length into an analysis of both stakes, and attempt the very difficult art of selecting the winner of each.—l am, &c.

Sfit,-A leading article appears in your impression of Monday last, which, if unnoticed, may lead your numerous readers to the inference that the Working• ton magistrates have done a flagrant act of injustice in committing three boys to prison for offences against the game-laws. A. — simple narrative of the facts will, I think, satisfy the public that, in the present instance, there has been no unnecessary straining of the law, but that the justices, in dealing with the boys, only perfor.a3e3 a duty which, in the gratuitous exercise of their public trust, the law imposed upou them. Joseph Pocklington Senhouse, Esq., of Netherhall, himself a county magistrate, laid the informations against the three boys ; two of whom were charged each with killing a salmon trout, and the other with attempting to kill one, in that part of the river Ellen bath batl n fishery, M. S , n banks o o u f s e t h e has riv t e h re belonging exclusive right to him o f . Two of the boys, namely Hetherington and Nichol , pleaded guilty to the off ences, as c h ar ged in the in formations ; and with respect to the other boy, San derson, the evidence against hi m was deemed suffi ciently strong to warrant the justices in convicting him. It was represented to the bench by Mr. Sen house, that having repeatedly forgiven the boys for previous offences of a similar character, be felt him self compelled, to prevent a continuance o f the daily depredations going on in the river, to press for con victions; and the justi ce , were thus relu ctantl y obliged to impose upon each of the boys a penalty of five pounds, the lowest sutra fixed by the Solway Fishery Act, under which the informations were laid ; and in default of payment they were each sentenced to one calendar month's i -wprisonment, t h e smallest punishment the magistrates had power to awar d b y virtue of the same Act. I feel sure that, in justice to the bench of magis trates, for whom I act as clerk, yo u will give this letter a space in yo ur co l umns. .[ am, Si r,,-,,yours, bcc., GEORGE AR M STRONG.

The Act,capi tal which received the Royal assent on the 17th ot June last, authorizes this company, and the London and North-Western and Midland Companies to enter into agreements for leasing, and to lease, this company's line ot railway and canal to the two companies for any term not exceeding 99 years. The London and North- Western and Midland Companies have passed resolutions accepting jointly a lease of the railway and canal upon the terms of the memorandum of agreement of the 3d of September, 1851." The capital account showed that 522,021/. had been received, and 429,407/. expended, leaving a balance of 92,6131. On the motion of the CAAHUMAN, the report was adopted. The meeting was then made special to consider the proposition of lease referred to in the report. Mr. Parsons (of London) and Mr. Preston dissented from the agreement; the former, because the period was not 99 instead of 19 years ; the latter, because he dis sented from the 2+ per cent., and considered better terms ought to have been made. The CHAIRMAN, on the contrary, speaking as an independent shareholder, contended that the period of 19 years was more advantageous to them, inasmuch as the Act gave them powers to renew a lease at the expiration of that time, when they might be in a po sition to make better terms. Mr. PARSONS complained that the great companies would shut up the avenue to Manchester by this route, and, being himself a considerable shareholder, he was of opinion that the agreement for 99 years would be far better. Mr. CHAPPELL (one of the directors of this as well as the London and North-Western Company) would have been glad to have accepted the 99 years, speak. ing for the large company, and he agreed with the chairman that the present agreement was by far more beneficial for the Matlock proprietors. Mr. PARSONS still argued in support of his own view. Mr. PRESTON moved as an amendment, that the meeting do adjourn, in order that the directors might have an opportunity of making better terms. The CHAIRMAN said that the proposition must either be affirmed or negatived. Mr. PARSONS then complained of the arrangement made with the other companies with reference to the dividend not being receivable for the last half-year. Explanations were given by the directors, which led Mr. Parsons to say that the statements made, especially one by Mr. Tootal, the deputy-chairman, threw a new light upon the matter. lie, however, begged to reiterate his objection to the 19 years' lease in preference to the 99, and would vote against the confirmation of the agreement. The resolution was then put, and only two hands were held up against it. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN OF IRELAND. The capital account to the 30th of June showed that 1,827,0811. bad been received, including 500,0001. Government loan, and 1,925,5331. expended, in cluding 486,9611. expended on the line from Athlone to Galway, leaving a balance against the company of 98,4521. The revenue account for the half•year ending the 30th of June showed that 39,0941. had been received on the railway, and 8,3551. rents and tolls on the Royal Canal, making together 47 4501 . The expenses on the railway amounted to 16,2931, and on the canal to 1,7311, together 18,024/., leaving a balance of 29,425/. The receipts on tho extension from Athlone to Galway amouned to 9,8551., and the expenses to 6,175/., leaving 3,6801. to be carried to the credit of the baronies in the counties of Roscommon and Galway, per auditor's certificate. These baronies having guaranteed the interest on the Government loan will have to supply the deficiency. The net income of the railway and canal from Dublin to Athlone amounted to 29,8651, from which is deducted 8,1931. for interest on debentures and mort gages, leaving a balance of 21,671/. applicable to di vidend. To this sum is added 3,582/., the balance from the last account, making 25,2531. Out of this sum is deducted 3,0001., b e i ng th e proposed addition to the rest (15,2701), an d 15,8851. i n terest at 4 per cent. per annum on th e pa id up s h are capital of the company, amou n ti ng t o 793 , 447/ . , leaving a balance to the credit o f th e next h a l f-year o f 6,3681.

The l engt h o f li ne f rom D u blin to Ath lone is 77 miles, and from Athlone to Galway 49 miles; total, 126 miles. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE. The report to be submitted to the shareholders at the half-yearly meeting states that there has been a considerable increase in the goods traffic as compared with its amount in the corresponding period of last year. As the new arrangement with the London and North-Western Company for the supply of locomo tive power on lower terms did not come into opera tion till the commencement of the current half-year, the working expenses have been considerably greater than the directors trust they will be in future years. All the loans effected or renewed within the past half-year have been at reduced rates of interest, and under this head a further saving may be expected as existing debentures become terminable. On the cost of maintaining the way and works, which the directors have now for some time undertaken without the intervention of a contractor, with a view to economize in that item, the directors are not pre pared to offer any decisive opinion until after a more extended trial. The capital account has been re duced by a further payment on account of the amount due from the Caledonian Company in respect of the Carlisle joint station. The laying down of the electric telegraph along the whole line from Preston to Carlisle has now been completed, which the direc tors expect will be a further means of promoting the safe and convenient working of the railway. The directors recommend a dividend after the rate of 6i per cent. per annum, leaving a balance to be trans ferred to the account of next half-year of 4,415/. Affairs with the Great Northern remained as before, with the exception that the directors of that company 11,c1 expressed a wish to meet the directors of this company, who were quire willing to accede, to see if the existing differences could not be amicably ad ` jested; it was therefore possible these differences might be settled by negotiation, and he hoped it would be the case. He was glad to see the feeling abroad tending towards the amalgamation of great companies; and he believed that in that lay consider ably future remuneration of shareholders. He was sorry to see the manner in which it had been dealt with by some newspaper writers ; and he was quite sure those writers were not railway proprietors. They had not had their incomes reduced from 5001. to 2001. a year, or they would look at it from another point of vision. H e thought shareholders were in debted to Mr. Glyn for the initiatory step be had taken to bring about an amalgamation. It would give a tone to public feeling, and would ultimately lead to a better adjustment of the relations of one company to another. He now came to a subject which was of a painful character—namely, the re cent accidents. Those accidents had been matters of regret, as might be supposed, to every director as well as to the general manager. They could not lock upon them without sorrow that they should have oc curred. The directors regretted that there should have been anything either deficient in one or another to produce those accidents, if they had been caused by any deficiencies en the part of the directors. On this t he could speak positively, that the directors, a n d h e believed the general manager, bad never in one single instance refused to put on additional porters or guards where they believed they were required—to put on more than was necessary would be an incumbrance— if too few had been put on in any case it bad been an error of judgment and nothing more. The di• rectors were convinced that, at whatever cost, they must secure safety to those who travelled on their line ; it would be the object of all to secure greater safety to those who used the line ; they trusted they would be enabled to do so—their attention was given now to the subject. The great weight of the traffic was, they believed, passed for this year, o r would be in the course of a wee k or two ; it would be a serious question as to wh a t steps should be tv-ken i n f u t u re. There was no question the regular traffic had been to some extent interfered with by the immense special traffic, cheap excursion trains, and those going from one part to another, very much more so than last year, or the year before, though the rates bad been higher than they were then, and more than the di rectors or managers expected. Some steps they would take to secure greater saf e t y . He concluded by moving that the report of the directors be received and adopted, the proceedings be sanctioned, and the statements and accounts be adopted. This having been seconded, _ _ Mr. HIGLIFIELD, of Liverpool, moved an amend ment authorizing the directors to create a suspense ac count out of the 10s. per share taken from theF'tf be, and in making up the next account to charge thesus pense account with 20,0001. for relaying that line, instead of charging a similar sum to revenue, the re mainder of the suspense to be divided as the share. holders might think fit at the next or some subsequent meeting. This led to a very long discussion as to whether the 103. was to be regarded as a capital question or a re venue, numerous speeches being made in favour of the two views respectively. The amendment was lost by a considerable majority. The original motion was then carried. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution declar ing a dividend at the rate of three per cent. per annum, to he paid on the 15th of September, ten days earlier than usual.—Carried. Mr. ENTWISTLE, in order to prevent a threatened re-opening at a future meeting of this subject, seeing that the meeting had decidedly expressed an opinion upon it, moved that the 10s. per share, amounting tc 60,000/., should be applied in liquidation of the mort gage debt. This was seconded and carried. This complet e d th e business of the half-yearly meeting, and a special meeting was constituted to give authority to create perpetual irredeemable annuities to take the place of the present loan debt, the rate at which these were to be issued to be not more than four per cent. ; but objection was made to the rate and at the request of the meeting 3/ 10i. was fixed. Mr. ENTWISTLE objected to having them made ir redeemable, seeing that securities were continually sinking ; but it could not be altered, as that was th . constitution named in the Act giving authority. This concluded the business. - NAVAL INTELLIGENCE .

By the arrival of the. ship Vanguard, yesterday, in the river, from Melbeuree, we have been put in pos sesion of the d-teils of the trial of the parties impli cated in the Extraordin Ty piratical boarding of the ship Nelson, h oun d to London, and the robbery of nearly 30,0001. of gold dust, consigned to the Austra lian Bank, Austin. friars. This daring instance of plunder has excited vast interest amongst the great body of shipowners and merchants, in consequence of the great risk of loss they are exposed to by the wholesale desertion of seamen which is now going on at the Australian ports. It appears that th e "gang" were mistaken in the vessel, and that they suspected her when they boarded her to be the Admiral, which only a few hours befere, had sailed with upwards of 150,000/. worth of gold on board. The leaders cf the " piratical party" were notorious London thieves, crackemen, and swell mobsmen, who had been transported to the colony, and having pro cured by some means tisk- ts cf leave, were enabled to go at large and commit this daring robbery. The priucipsls only were arraigned on the charge. Their names were John James, alias Johnson, James Mor gan, and James Dunces. They were well-dressed men, but their countenances depicted a life of vice and dissi pation of the worst description. They were indicted, firstly, with Laving piratically boarded a certain vessel named the Nelson, belonging to the port of Glasgow, and stealing therefrom 8,600 ounces of gold dust; secondly, with having wounded the chief mate (henry Draper), with intent to murder him. The Attorney- General for the colony prosecuted for the Crown. The trial was a very protracted one, and the evidence ;adduced was exceedingly voluminous, but the subjoined narrative will be found to contain the main facts. The Nelson was a barque, 900 tons burden, belonging to Messrs. Potter and Co., mer chants, of Glasgow. On her arrival at Geelong, the master, Captain Wright, endeavoured to persuade the men to remain by the ship, and to assist in discharging her. His efforts, however, were ft uitless, Fur weeks and weeks the ship continued deserted, the master unable to get.hands to work :at any cost. By great inducements and high rate of wages he at length got seven men to join, with whom, and the aid of his officers, he got the vessel cleared o ur, and obtained a freight, amongst which was 8, i 600 ounces of gold dust, consigned to the Australian Bank, in Austin friars. He sailed from Geelong in the latter end of Marco, and in a i day or so in Hobson's Bay,fur the purp o se o f seeking off b r Melbourne,o ug ht up hands to complete the number of the ship's com pany. It should be observed that she was fifteen short of her number. The gold dust was in twenty tnree boxes. On its being received on board it was placed in the after hold of the ship, but:was subse quently removed, and placed in a locker in the Jen rette, and well protected by bags of bread athl,other articles placed round and over it, so as to conceal it from view. The piracy was committed on the night of the 2d of April. The master, Mr. Wright, was proved to have been ashore at the time, at the ship- Ping-office in the town, endeavouring to persuade men to join and complete the number of his crew. The mate, Mr. Henry Draper, was left. in charge of the ve sse l ; an d besides the second mate en d seven l:3 ands, there was a mate of another vessel, the Royal George, then lying in the harbour, on board, who had, it seemed, been on friendly terms with the first mate, and had s p en t t h e evening with him. At about eleven o'clock ail bands turned in except the second mate, whose watch it was on cleck, hen, between twelve and one o'cl oc k, he observed being rowed off from the shore, buta salongside, a bl ide, when h o a a t d fu n l 0 1 ofm s pi n a cion of their intention till it w ne was " thunderstruck" at their jumping on board; and two of them presentingmpistol lo t ; at his head, with an oath threatened with l i ns tant death if he dared to raise an alarm, another moment he was secured, and lashed h an d s In and feet. The light , ho wever, enabled him to see the features of several of the fellows. There were about ten of them, all exhibiting fire-arms, end some cut lasses. They were not a class of men accustomed to laborious work. Trey were well dressed, but some wore disguises, such as crape over their faces, and wearing large cloaks to conceal their under-dress. Doe bands forward were all seized at the same woe (tient, the men levelling their pieces at their heads, and wi h horrible threats vowed every soul should be massacred if they dared to thwart them in their pur pose. Having lashed the whole of the crew similarly o the second mate, except the cook, who by some stratagem escaped their observation, they entered the caddy, and the prisoners, addressing Mr. Draper, the chief mate, said, " We want your gold ; where is it ? out with it." Mr. Draper had previously neen seized by one of the fellows. There were plenty of firearms in the cabin, close to his berth, out he was unable to arm himself before be was seized. They then threw the whole of the ship's &e -arns overboard. Mr. Draper, in reply, told them hey must be mistaken ; there was no gold in the ship. The prisoners, levelling pistols at him, made nswer, "Gold we must have; you have it on beard, and have it we must ; therefore come, show us where it is ; it's no use your opposing us." Mr. Draper still pleaded ignorance. Finding that be would not yield to their solicitations, they proceeded to violence, and compelled him at length to reveal its " where abouts." After being subjected to great brutality, he pointed it out. The locker was instantly torn open, and the boxes of gold taken out and banded up one after another to the fellows in the cabin, and by them to others at the gangway, and in the boats. Clearing he locker of its contents, they commenced ransacking other parts of the ship, imagining there was more booty to be bad ; and the mate, observing them break ing open the captain's drawers, and tearing up his papers, attempted to expostulate with them, and said, " Who is your chief ? It's no use your destroying the captain's things. He's got no gold." One of them (Mor an) turned round, and levelling a pistol at him, ex claimed, " We'll show you who our chief is ; take that, you —," at the same moment discharging the pistol, the contents of which passed through the fl-shy part of his leg, and lodged in the partition of the cabin. Satisfying themselves that they had obtained the whole of the precious metal, and in order to prevent the crew of the Nelson making any effort to follow 'hem, or raise an alarm, they dragged them to the cabin, lashed as they were, and wiin the mate, and that of the Royal G eorge, f orce d t h em i nto the se cret place where the gold had been deposited. The fellows then closed the trap upon them, and, after fastening them down and piling a quantity of heavy goods on the top, so as to render the escape of the crew less likely, they fled from the ship. The cook, who had secreted himself in the fore part of the vessel, released his mes:mates. The mate took the most prompt st e p s t o appr i ze t h e au thorities at Mel bourne of the robbery, and althoug h the coaste n ts was speedily s coure d, no clue of the deli ?" the could be discovered. At length, o ne iiirirrbneingr,ecol, mate of the Royal George who , lected, was on board the Nelson attalongside the quay robbery, happened to be in his br oil . it the time of the was drawn to a and cloak, on at Williamston, when his attenwiet.bag well dressed man csrryieg the one quay he s l i e d a e d . recognised him to be carp plundered the ship man was taken into —the prisoner Morga.% oi gold and a draft bill for 501. custody, and some 2 osses,, on, leaders sHoef tihnestga:Tntsglhe i and in the carpet-bag were found ill 'with bii) bin', among other articles, the which he badwhich some of the men bad on when they received information of the other prisoners, arlds-eesd the Nelson.

There were five other prisoners to be tried for being concerned in the act of plunder. The amount of gold found on the whole of the prisoners did not ex ceed 7,0001., consequently there is upwards of 20,0001. yet to be recovered of the stolen treasure. THE LABOUR MARKET IN A USTRALIA.—Labour is scarce, and is rapidly becoming scarcer ; wages are enor mously high, and are still on the rise. As regards our chief city, we can safely say that never within our recollection was labour so difficult to procure as it is at the present time, nor do we believe that wages, taking all class es of operatives together, were ever so high. Not only do mechanics com mand their Bs. or 9s. p er d ay, and common hodmen their 7s. and 7a. 6d., but even on these terms they are ecareeiYi an be had. And even with remunerations like these thework ing classes are far from eatLfied.

The exact day for the further opening of this line from Swansea to Carmarthen has at length been fixed. The 14th of this month is now definitively named as the day for the opening of the extension. The 231 inst. had been previously stated as the likely day, but it was found to be at least a week beyond the time when the line might safely be opened for traffic. An experimental trip along the line has been made, and everything was found to be in order. It is understood that the opening will be duly celebrated by a public breakfast, to be given by the Mayor of Carmarthen, and to which the directors of the lines, the engineers, railway managers and officials, and a large number of visitors will be invited. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. The half-yearly meeting of this company w as held on Wednesday, at the Palatine Hotel, Man chester, Mr. Barnes in the chair. The CUAIRMAN said the accounts were presented with the report, and he believed them to be honest, and affording a fair view of the company's affairs. The capital account showed that 129,000/. had been spent, and the report stated that it had chiefly been expended on Liverpool and Bury account, the Burn ley branch, the Huddersfield and Sheffield line, and the West Riding Union line, in the settlement of the contractors' accounts, in the purchase of land, and the increase of accommodation et the stations and sid ings. He congratulated the shareholders upon the state of the line, and had much pleasure in stating that the company could now borrow money cheaper than for some time past ; they could readily obtain it at 3i per cent., and had latterly borrowed it at . 3 u 4: Messrs.
