He states that the military officers, with Major Seton, of the 47th, were in attendance on the captain, and had sent the soldiers to the pumps as ordered; that all hands were steady and obeyed orders with ala crity until the last moment; that the ship struck twice; the first shock stove in the bows and drowsed many man forward; that the second shock broke the ship in two. The men on the yard behaved with great coolness and firmness; several swam to the shore on pieces of spar, and about thirty in number reached the land. Mr. Davis, second master , w a s o ffi cer of the watch; he was picked up after being twelve hours clinging to the spars. (Si gne d) JOHN DRAKE, Colour-Sergeant, B.M. John Ashbolt, stoker, states that it was h is watch in the engine-room when the ship struck; that Mr. Kitch enman was engineer of the watch; the first order given was to stop the engine, and shortly after to give a back turn, which was done, and the engine made about eight or ten revolutions and the ship struck again, the water began to rush into the e ngine-room and put the fires out; when the engines stopped he went on deck, the ship broke in two, and he found himself picked up by one of the cutters. William Chase, stoker, states the same. The engineers were all in the engine-room. (Signed) WILLIAM CHASE. JOHN ASHBOLT. lIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. TUESDAY, April 13, 18i2. Madlle. D'ANGRI.

METTBILNICIft3 downfal involved the imperial councils of Austria in embarrassments which seem to have been recently completed by the sudden death of ScuWARZENBERG. To the young EMPEROR it must be no slight calamity to lose the advice of one whose sagacity, during a period of very extraor dinary emergency, has proved so serviceable in con solidating his despotism. To the subjects of FRANCIS JOSEPH, on the contrary, the loss cannot prove so irre parable. It will be regarded, we feel assured, rather as ta blessing than as a misfortune throughout the whole of those motley dominions which consti tute the realm of the Kaiser. Born on the 2d of Oc tober, 1800, and elevated to supreme power in the Cabinet of Vienna on the 21st of November, 1848, Prince FELIX SCHWARZENBERG cannot be said to have died otherwise than prematurely for a states man, though it must be confessed that he bad sur- ' lived much too long for his credit as an adminis- Iratn iondo no..r. From the intelligence received y esterda y it was learnt, nol• w ithout surprise, that the Prime Minister of 4 Austria in existence— h rter of aving ex pi re d at V ien na on Monday, was no longer the sth of April, f rom ministration of the affairs stroke of apoplexy. The ad- bat that an the Austrian Govern ment thrown for a while into confusion, such a s might f or been inextricable, time to come have rather summary way of proceeding ruler bas a under such cir cumstance —a method which t ri r t l conut t r ' : • of at any rate be allowed th e r e ae wwking must conve nience. It is seldom that a to such crises as those resulting f rom ' 7 11 subjected of the actual leader of the Government, demi s e the ease in America on the dea t h of Z: c Was TAYLOR, and in Englan d o n the assassinati on of SPENCER PERCIVAL. The mechanis m of free i n n stitutions is less liable, however , t o inte rruptions from ) occurrences of this kind, thAnks to the propors;ionate division of labour in the manifold offices of adminis tration. The responsibilities of Government being diffused among Secretaries of State and other officials of an influential character, are not, of course, so intimately affected on these occasions as when they are concentrated in a single grasp—which grasp becomes abruptly relaxed by dissolution. Here, nevertheless, as we have already intimated, the prompt exercise of the unrestricted powers of tyranny comes to the rescue of the State with a re solute hand and an iron will. A single decree, or ukase, or pronunciamento is sufficient to bind toge ther again all the reins of authority which, for the moment, had become loosened. Ministerially (as of yore royally from the Palace windows of the Tui leries) it is still—" The King is dead ! long live the King !" The Minister is dead! long live the Minister ! Whoever may be the successor of SCHWARZENBERG, it is tolerably certain that, like that eminent adminis trator, he will still continue to be influenced in the conduct of his policy by the antecedents, and it may be also by the secret advice of the veteran—we cannot by any possibility say venerable—Prince METTERNICH, secluded as that political octo genarian is at his residence among the vine yards of Johanisberg. That the departed chief of the Vienna Cabinet was guided in a very great measure by the example, and, as many have sur mised also,: the direct or indirect councils of his pre decessor, was sufficiently manifest, we conceive, from the extraordinary resemblance, we might even say the actual identity, of their systems of carrying on the go vernment. Before applying himself to the study of statecraft he had almost exclusively dissipated his ener gies in the delights of frivolous amusements, occasion ally, it is true, participating in the duties of a military career, in which he rose to the dignity of Lieutenant Field-Marshal in the Imperial forces, having served, and not without credit to him self, in Lombardy, under the orders of the brave old RADETZKY. Besides these duties, SCHWARZENBERG had filled others of a very different nature, inasmuch as he was Austrian Ambassador at Turin, and subse quently at Naples, where he was still exercising di plomatic functions in the March of 184 S, a month rendered memorable by the outbreak of the revolu tion. Summoned to the helm of the Government at a moment when the vessel of the state appeared to be foundering in the midst of democratic storms and insurrectionary darkness, SCHWARZENBERG for the first time displayed those administrative energies which had been long dormant, and which speedily de clared him to be in ability the not unworthy succes sor of Prince METTERNICH. Between the downfal of METTERNICH and the rise of SCHWARZENBERG variety of Ministerial changes had taken place at Vienna—each successive appointment prov ing, if possible, only more and more disas trous in its consequences. FICQUELMONT showed himself as incapable of conducting the toils of ad ministration as WINDISCHGRATZ had shown himself incapable of struggling in the field of battle against the prowess cf the heroic Hungarians. Wassmeneao displayed yet more apparently his incapacity as leader of the Government. And it was in a kind of despair of di scove ring any man able to cope with the political difficulties at Vienna as vigorously as RADETZKY had struggled with and ultimately conquered the military difficulties in Lombardy, that SCHWARZENBERG Was at last sent for from the Court of Naples, and induced, in spite of the perils of the position, to as sume the supreme administrative pest as leader of the Austrian Government. Since the moment of his ele vation to that dangerous altitude, on the 21st of November, 1848, he has preserved the power of his imperial master intact, grasping the reins of office with a firm hand until the hour of his death by apo plexy. By his capacity, therefore, he has earned a right to admiration ; while by the rigour of his policy, by the cruelty of his acts, and among these, more especially by the ever-execrable murder of Count LOUIE BATTHYANI, he has given cause to the races of Christendom to regard his name with exe cration. There is at this moment no property or income tax. The unequal and oppressive impost expired on Monday last. Had it been more fairly and equitably assessed it would probably have been regarded as one of the best modes of collecting a large proportion of the public revenue, but as it was actually apportioned it could only be viewed as cne of the most stupendous monuments of national injustice ever perpetrated. The evils of class legislation were never more power fully illustrated than under that iniquitous law which was permitted to encumber the national statute-book for ten years without modification or alteration Innumerable complaints were from time to time put forward, but these vie:e directed against the details, rather,,than the principle f the measure. The commu nity was favourable to direct taxation. There would have been no objection to even a much higher charge than sevenpence in the pou.ld on accumulated and realized property, provided that equivalent reductions were made on other more obnoxious charges. But a deep and burning sense of injustice was felt by those who earned their daily bread by physical or intellec tual labour, and who naturally complained of the hardship of being chargod as highly as those who had a far greater command over the necessaries and luxuries of life than themselves, no allowance whatever being made for the precarious and fluctuating nature of their rese urces, or fcr the necessity of providing for any casualties that might arise in the way of death, want of employment, or mental or bodily incapacity. Unfortunately the late CHA:NCELLOR of the Ex- CIIEQUER, with that peculiar intellectual obliquity for which he rendered himself s o painfully conspicu ous, could not, or more probably would not under stand the real cause of the general, outcry. Although his attention was repeatedly directed to the subject, he continued, with a strange perversity, to as cribe every objection made to the apportion ment under Schedules D and. E to a dislike to the entire code. He would sanction no amendment; it should be accepted with all its defects, or rejected in toto. This was one of the chid ,causes . of the over throw of the late Government, and the almost un paralleled odium incurred by its members.

We can scarcely p the Right lion. Gentleman will, in powesr, su ppose lend his that support to matters which he formerly s em phatically denounced. He is too clearheaded o to fall into so grievous an error, nor is it probable that he would neglect the opportunity of acquiring a high degree of popularity, even if he could do so without inconsistency. We may also infer, from the t one of his reply to the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Mon trose, on Monday evening, when he stated that " he should be very glad if the Committee now sitting on the subject should have reported before that time, but if they had not, it would not prevent him from going on with his statement." This short sentence would seem to indicate that his mind is already male up on the subject; and when we consider that he was a prominent and painstaking me mber of the Committee, and, as such, well acquainted. with the views and opinions of its leading members, we can easily conceive that he is fully prepared on the topic. It will, then, be for all parties who feel aggrieved by the present iniquitous system to lend their moat energetic exertions to its modification. They must closely observe the course that may be adopted, and if it be not such as they have reason to anticipate, 4114 115 the justice of the ease may require ) WI oppor- tunity will speedily arrive of ensuring the attentive consideration of the Legislature. The battle is to be fought at the hustings. No elector should record his suffrage in favour of any person who will refuse a distinct and unequivo cal answer on the subject. Whatever may be his qualifications in other respects, no man can be a fitting representative who would lend his sanction to so gross and palpable an act of injustice as that which, having been maintained for ten years, may now be num bered among the things that have departed. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. M. EMILE DE GIEARDIN has brought a hornet's nest about his ears by his recent effusions in the Presse. The organs of the Royalists of the two Bourbon dynasties are greatly scandalized at the insinuation thrown out by him against the Royalist party as being capable of resorting to attempts at assassination to get rid of the empire in the event of its being formed; and M. DE LA GUERROISIERE, who was for a long time co-editor of the Presse with M. DE GIRABDIN, falls foul in the Pays of his ancient comrade. After sundry professions of personal esteem and respect for the delinquent, the writer in the Pays expresses his profound surprise and regret at finding an imputation proceeding from his pen " which tends to stigmatise not only the whole of an honourable party, but, to a certain point, the political opinion of the country, made responsible for crimes which, thank GOD, are not of any party." M. DE GUEERONIERE then quotes the article in the Presse which has proved the rock of offence, and thus continues :—" We do not hesitate to say that these are detestable arguments to preserve the Republic. No ; whatever may happen, whether we remain in the Republic or leave it, in order to enter on the Empire, there will not be an ALIBAUD in the Republican party, nor a MERINO in the Royalist party, to avenge the democracy or to restore the monarchy. Such monsters, if they could live again in their miserable imitators, would engage only their own name and hand before the justice of GoD and of history. They would not engage any party. There would be a crime at the charge of a single man, but that responsibility, altogether of an individual character, could not imply any moral complicity with one of the honourable parties which contend for their convictions and opinions." The Union pitches in more lustily, in the fol lowing style : " In the opinion of M. de Girardin the establishment of the Empire would be the signal for the most exe crable crimes, for those crimes which are the disgrace of society and of an age, and the sad prognostication of which we for our part prefer to leave to the editor of the Presse. We leave him alse the honour of his decla mations against royalty, against that royalty which, according to his account, would not return but to bring back slavery, and those abuses and intolerances which would allow us most the Parliamentary regime of the Etats generaux assembling every 175 years. Such non sense does not merit discussion, it only causes universal derision. And yet this is what M. de Girardin does not disdain to call his conclusion. Y ou r conclusion ! Allow us to say that you promised more—you promised us the receipt us sr something preserving the we heleexpupebelit it. u Republic. Tha p t toretcheiisptiiniteheyroeu fore, we want , have attacked Empire and monarchy—hitherto you have proceeded by the `.path of negatives ; it is time for you now to come to affirmatives, and to tell us how you mean to preserve the Government which has your preference. That would be true conclusion, and the real solution of the problem which has been put forth in the Presse." M. DE GIRARDIN appears again in the Presse of yesterday. The article is a reply to the Independance of Brussels, which had spoken of him as having rallied to the Government of LOUIS NAPOLEON. He says— "' If I have rallied,' it must be admitted that the President of the Republic does not look towards the Empire; and if he does so, it must then be admitted that I have not rallied' to him. It is necessary to choose be tween one or the other of the two affirmatives. The truth of the case is this: Called back to Paris by im perious and urgent business, I only yielded to the voice of personal interests in stating my personal convictions, in perfect independence, and at the risk of oppposing personal views, which it is supposed and pretended are decided on, and expecting to receive a fresh order to return, at my choice, either to Belgium, Germany, or England. My trunks are ready, but before starting I wished to state to democracy the result of my two months' reflections in the solitude of exile. The more I have reflected on it the more convinced I feel that pes simism was the strictest, and consequently the shortest road to arrive at legitimism. Anything rather than the European restoration of the last century. It is for this reason that, although marked with the seal of ostracism, and injured in the most serious manner in all my inte rests, I have never ceased to write from Brussels to Paris. Let there be no pessimism.' As to the sus picions which were not spared towards me before my return, and even before my departure on the 14th Ja nuary, I have paid dear enough during the last year (more than 500,000 f.) for the right of _disdaining them, and I shall make use of that right.": The Bank of France is henceforth to publish the returns of its general position on the second Thurs day of every month, instead of weekly. This notice will give much satisfaction, especially as it will tend to remove the suspicion that the suppression of the weekly report was for the purpose of concealing com mercial depression, as proved by the low state of dis count of bills of exchange. The Patric publishes the following communicated note : " The continual increase of business rarely permits the Prince President to grant audiences, and requests for them must be addressed direct to General Roguet, com mandant of his military household." The strongest demonstrations of gratitude have been testified by the inhabitants of all the parts of the country through which the railroads which have lately been conceded by the Government are to pass. The municipal councils of Strasbourg, Beschwiller, and Lauterbourg, have voted addresses of thanks to the PRINCE PRESIDENT on the subject. The town of Gray, in the Haute Saone, hailed the announcement of the decree of concession of the line from Besmes to that place with a salute of twenty-four guns, and an illumination, and the Chamber of Commerce of the town voted an address to the PRESIDENT of the Re public, expressive of their gratitude and devotedness to him. An address of thanks has also been presented to the PRESIDENT from the municipality of Limoges for the prompt completion of the Central Railway. Mortgage banks, according to the basis laid down by the decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, are being formed in the departments of the Loiret and the Cher. The names of the most wealthy and influential persons of the departments are mentioned as con nected with these banks. The PRINCE PRESIDENT has commuted the sen tence of transportation to Algeria, pronounced against Dr. LEPINEUX, for the part that he took in the insur rection of the Allier, into banishment into another de partment of France. M. LATOUR-DUIHOULIN, formerly chief editor of the Courrier Francais, has been appointed director of the printing department of the Ministry of Police. The Gazette de France says :—" A rumour is cur rent that the two Grand Dukes of Russia, MICHAEL and NICHOLAS, are about to come to Paris on a visit to the PRESIDENT of the Republic. Viscount DE TOURNON is in a fair way of recovery from the effects of his accident at the steeplechase on Sunday last.

Rochelle ha s been playing here with great success. We had heard a great d ea l o f this lady before she made and expectation was on ti p toe. Con trary, however, t o w h at i s usually the case , we found that instead of saying t o o much, report ha d h a rdl y s a id enough of her. If we mistake not, Miss Rochelle has a brilliant career open before her. She is really a fine actress: the stage is truly her vocation. The moment we saw her we were greatly struck by her appearance. She has a tall, graceful figure, a tine face, and above all, an expressive eye, in which every feeling of her soul is mirrored with marvellous clearness. It is long since we have seen down here anything at all com parable to the pathetic sweetness of her Juliet, or the touching naivete of her Parthenia. Nor was her Portia a whit less excellent. Her scene with the caskets was beautifully rendered, and her trial scene was greeted with the most hearty applause. We have heard that, on leaving here, Miss Rochelle proceeds to Paris, where she will take part in the private theatricals of the Hotel of the Princess Bagratian, and where—at least, so it is reported—sh e w ill read the part of Lady Mac beth with the great Rachel, previous to playing it at the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, whither she proceeds in a month's time. M a y s uccess attend her. Such is the wish of all Playgoers in the good town of Cardiff.— Musical World. DIED.—On the sth instant, of exhaustion, in the 10th year of its age, neither deeply nor at all regretted—the Property and Income Tax. TESTIMONIAL TO MR.

FIRER F. JONGEIMANN'S CONCERT. --This talented vocalist gave a concert last evening at Willis's Rooms, which drew a crowded and fasionable audience. The programme was rich in attraction. Madlle. Evelina Garcia was suffi ciently recovered to aid with her splendid voice the exertions of several popular artistes. She was rapturously encored in Rode's Air and Variations, in which we never heard her equalled by any singer of the day. The warmest plaudits were bestowed on Miss Poole, Madame Lemaire, Mr. Dray ton, and Mr. Fedor. A solo on the violoncello was beauti fully given by M. de Munck, and hladame Goffrie on the piano-forte and Mr. Richardson on the flute constituted some of the prominent features of the entertainment. The fine baritone voice of Herr Jonghmann himself was heard to con summate advantage in his several songs.
