EASTERN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. An extraordinary general meeting of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company held yesterday afternoon was nume rously attended. The report detailed the whole of the pro ceedings relative to the late tenders, and the award of the contract to their competitors, the ninsular and Oriental Company. The unanimous feeling was that the conduct of Sir Charles Wood and of other members of the late Govern ment in the negotiation was extremely reprehensible, and that in the face of the recommendations,of the committee appointed to investigate the subject of communication with India, the Eastern Steam Company had not been fairly treated. The report also showed the saving effected to the country by the lower terms upon which the Peninsular and Griental Company had been compelled to take the contract, owing to the introduction of competition, and alluded in strong language to the partiality exhibited in the decision arrived at. The whole question was discussed with much animation, and the recommendation of the directors that the company should not be broken up, but that it should maintain the privileges afforded by its charter, with the view of ultimately attaining its most important objects, was carried without a dissentient voice. The great economy exercised in management, and the arduous exertions of the directors, elicited general approval. Before the close of the proceedings special resolutions were passed embodying these opinions, as well as one describing the necessity of a lull in quiry respecting the manner in which the tenders made by the Eastern Steam Company had been uealt with. In an swer to questions it was stated that the directors have re ceived an intimation that one of their colleagues is prepared to lay before them a scheme through which they will be en abled to carry out such a service as has been contemplated. When this shall have been matured the shareholders will be called together to give it their consideration. The following paragraph from the report notices the precipitancy with which the late contract was concluded, and also alludes to the present financial position of the company : " Your directors feel that they cannot conclude without drawing attention to the very unusual and remarkable pre cipitancy with which the question of the tenders was dis posed of. On the 21st February, the late Government re signed office. On the afternoon of the 26th the tenders were delivered pursuant to notice. The Ministers remained at their offices, it is understood, until the c l ose o f t h e 26t h February, and on the following day, the 27th. the present Government was formally installed in office. The tenders in question must, therefore, have been received, investigated as to their respective merits, and reported upon by the Admi ralty, and adjudicated after consideration at the Treasury, in the few hours which intervened between their delivery on the 26th, and the formal relinquishment of office by the members of the late Government on the 27th of Feb ruary. Your directors believe these facts, inconsistent as they are with all the deliberation previously given to the subject, and the greatness of the consideration involved in it, to be quite unprecedented; and coupling them with the evident disparagement of the terms of their tenders con tained in the Admiralty report, they submit them for the consideration of the proprietors and the public at large, strongly impressed with the conviction that the public in terests demand a clear explanatory justification of the cir cumstances from those upon whom the responsibility now rests, of having committed to the care and keeping of one single body the exclusive charge of the important ex tended mail communications and steam traffic of this country, with its eastern and Australian dependencies, for a further prolonged period of eight years, in violation of a policy apparent on the face of it, and of recorded resolu tions of a Select Committee of the House of Commons, specially appointed, with the concurrence of the late Government, and to which the main agents of this pro ceeding were approving parties, with the express object of defining the footing upon which such communications should be hereafter placed. A statement of account, brought down to this date, shows a balance of 2.184/. at the disposal of the company, after payment of every demand of an ordinary character. The only claims of any amount still unsatisfied are those a hich may be considered as coming under the head of compensation for professional and other services connected with the preparation of engineering oetails and office arrangements. In conclusion, your directors cannot but express their opinion that, considering the important public object for the attainment of which the company was incorporated, and for which a charter limiting the liability of the shareholders has been obtained, the wide field of enterprise which that charter opens, and the probable large increase of traffic with the East that muat result from the completion of a railway across the Isthmus of Suez, it would be highly inexpedient to abandon the undertaking notwithstanding the unfavourable position in which the company has been placed by the decision of the late Government. They would, therefore, request a continuance of the confidence of their shareholders, during such further period as may be necessary to enable them to submit for their approval a project now under consideration, for the prosecu tion of the undertaking on such a footing as will secure the attainment of its most important objects." Annexed are the principal resolutions:— " Resolved,—That this meeting most cordially approve of and adopt the report now read, and the shareholders request the Court:of Directors will continue their exertions on behalf of the company, with a view to effecting such arrangements for the prosecution of the undertaking as may secure the attainment of its most important objects. " That it appears to this meeting that the circumstances under which the contracts for the India, China, and Aus tralia mail service were allotted require the grave considera tion of the public, and the directors are earnestly requested to use every effort to cause such circumstances to be thoroughly investigated."

HAWKINS'S DIVORCE. Their Lordships sat this afternoon at two o'clock, far the purpose of hearing evidence in support of this Bill. The Peers present were the Lord Cha nce ll or, L or d B roug h am , Lord Strangford, and Lord Truro. Mr. TALBOT (with whom was Mr. Macqueen) stated the case. The petitioner was Septitnus Moore Hawkins, a lieu tenant in her Majesty's 97th Foot, who was married, Sept. 4, 1845 to Harriet Lavinia Dennie, daughter of the late Lieu tenant-Colonel Dennie, of the 13th Regiment, killed at Jel lalabad. They lived together, as man and wife, on the most affectionate terms, Mrs. Hawkins accompanying her hus band to Corfu and Malta, where he was called by his mili tary duties. In 1848 they returned to England, and after a short stay near Colchester took up their residence at be Lear the depot Newport.

At this time two cbildren had been born to them, a son born at Corfu in 1845, who sub sequent l y died at Malta, and a girl born in 1848 at Carisbrook, still living. Here he remained until March, 1851, when he returned to England, arriving at Liverpool on the 23d of March, and joining his wife on the 26th, when cohabita tion was resumed between them. They lived together at Bonchurch in the Isle of Wight, until the 3rd of June, two months after his return, when. to the utter surprise of every body, Mrs. Hawkins gave birth to a full-grown child. From that moment all intercourse was broken off, and during the inquiries which the petitioner had been led to make he as certained -that in his absence communication had taken place between his wife and Viscount Malden under the circum stances which would be offered in evidence. An action for crirn. con. was then brought by the petitioner agai ns t L or d Malden in the Court of Queen's Bench, and a verdict for 5001. damages returned, and on the 10th of February of the present year, a divorce had been pronounced by the Consis tory Court of London.

This 'Company IN formed for working the gold minerals in Aus tralia, t, y an approved patented process, which will enable the Comparri , to extract a larger quantity of gold from a given quantity of the ore than by any other known method now in operation, and at a sat 'mg of two-thirds the present expense, both in labour and machinery. This invention has been satisfactorily demonstrated, and is pro tected by her Majestys Royal Letters Patent, the Company having secured all the rights and privileges for working, and the agency for negotia hug the same in Australia. The ( lompany do not intend to undertake mining operations, or to purchaser land in the Colony, unless some most favourable opportu nity situ tll present itself; and then only after the consent of the shareha riders has been obtained The o rganiaation of the mineral department will be placed under the able superintendence of that eminent metallurgist and geologist, Thomas Atowlandson, Esq., C.E., F.G.S. whose abilities and prac tical knowledge 1n all matters connected ' with mining and refining are well 1 tnown. An age nt has already been dispatched by the Manus, which sailed on the 9tll February for Melbourne, with powers to make the pre liminary arrangements. The Company intend purchasing from mining compan!es and in dividuals the auriferous ores ; as also to undertake the redaction of ores for any parties by the patent process, on terms mutually to be agreed nj mn. It is ar ranged to pay for the patent right and other contracts of the Comi ?any by an allotment of shares, and permission will be re served - to. increase the,capital if found necessary. Under these circumstances this Company is formed, not with wild anticipat ions of boundless wealth, but on reasonable calculations of probable results, and remunerative profits. With t hese advantages, which are self-evident, together with the Plan on N rhieh the Company will be carried out, under the manage ment of a responsible and competent board in London, every doubt -1111 contit igency will be avoided, and the success of the present Com pany established on a profitable and permanent basis, which cannot fail to insure large dividends to the shareholders.

BRADFORD, APRIL I.—Wool — There is evidently a poor show of combing wools now in the market, and an equal slackness in the wants of the spinners, who are generally doing as little as they can carry on The supply in thecountry dealers and growers' hands is held for prices far too high for this market. Yarns—The stoppage of machinery still con tinues ; the yarn trade was never so disjointed as at pre sent.

TRA.DE or MANCHESTER, APRIL I.—There has been but a limited business in this market since Tuesday, but the more marked impression which the America's advices from the trans- Atlantic states had produced en the cotton market at Liver pool has led to rather more depression, and prices are again somewhat weaker.

In the month of September I remember Mrs. Hawkins at Cox's Hotel.

Mrs. Ribbons, examined by Mr. TALBOT—I am an hotel keeper at Bonchureh. Mrs. Hawkins lived at my hotel f rom December, 1810, t o M arch, 1851. During that time I had no suspicion of her being pregnant. I remarked that she was getting stout, b ut I had no idea of the cause. On the 26th March Lieutenant Hawkins returned from America; they continued to live with me after that time. I remember the 3d of June. In the middle of the night I was was awoke by hearing Mrs. Hawkins' b e ll rung violently. I went down stairs and met Mr. Hawkins, who said he bad sent for a phy s i c i an . I went in to Mrs. Hawkins, who said she was sorry to diturb me , but all s h e wanted was that I should prepare a separate room for ?kir. Hawkins.

She had just S been delivered of a child. I h w as the usual surgical duties on that occasion. The child was a full-grown child. Mr. Martin, also a surgeon of the Isle of Wight—l saw her very shortly after she had been delivered of a child. In my opinion the child was a fall-grown child of nine months. I met Mr. Hawkins two or three times in the course of the morning, his manner betokening utter surprise. The Rev. Mr. White, examined by M r . TALBOT—I am a clergyman in the Isle of Wight. r - knew both Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins, and saw them almost every day after his return from America. They appeared very much attached to each other, and he was very proud of her. I dined with him the day before Mrs. Hawkins gave birth to a c hild, an d s h e dined at my house with my wi f e. Neithe r m y w if e nor my self had the slightest suspicion of her pregnancy. Mr. Hawkins himself told me what had happened; he seemed most distressed and surprised. Evidence was then put in as to the trial in the Court of Queen's Bench and the payment of the 5001. damages. Mr. TALBOT said that be regretted not being able to pro duce two most material witnesses, m e ,.

Devon Great Consols have been done at 2951. ex div : ow ing to an improvement at Wheal Emma, a further rise in price is anticipated. Alfred Consols have exchanged hands freely ; and West Alfreds are advanced to 211. South Wale. Mining shares are more inquired after- a good lode having been discovered near the surface ; and the Orsedd Mine, ad joining the Merllyn, is attracting some attention. In the Metal Market-Copper continues in steady de mand, and very firm at the quotation. Tin is temporarily at a stand-still ; little or nothing doing either in British or Foreign. Tin-plates are extensively dealt in, at a slight reduction in price for inferior lots, better sorts readily ob taining full, uotations.
