On the Fire Queen entering the harbour, Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.DI.G., the the Commander-in-Chief, went off in his barge and took the Royal party out of the Fire Queen and conducted them to his flag-ship Victory, which they inspected, th e Royal standard being hoisted at the main and saluted. Commander Boyle, of the Victory, was presented to their Royal Highness, Captain Martin being on six weeke' leave (not six months, as erroneously appeared yester day.) From the Victory the Royal party were escorted by the Commander-in-Chief to the Neptune, 120, Captain Scott, flag of Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C.B. Captain Scott was presented to their Royal Highnesses, and, with the Port Admiral, conducted them round his noble ship, with which they seemed much pleased. They left under a royal salute, the standard being hoisted at the main, and were conveyed in the Commander-in-Chief's barge to the Queen's landing place at the Clarence-yard, where they disembarked, and left by train from Gosport for London at twenty five minutes past two. _ _ _ The Avon steam-vessel, Master-Commander Veitch, arrived this morning from the eastward with supernu meraries. and left in the afternoon for Plymouth, on similar duty.

The Dauntless, 24, Captain Halsted, has been docked to-day, to be examined and refitted. IRELAND. THE HARVEST. DUBLIN, DIONDAT.—There is no variation in the tone of the last agricultural reports. The reaping of the harvest is fast drawing to a close, even in the most remote and backward districts. The yield of the cereal and green crops generally is said to be every where beycnd an average, and there no longer seems to be any doubt that the loss by the potatoe blight will not exceed that of last year. The weather con tinu.s changeable, but, upon the whole, not more un seasonable than might be expected. On Saturday Dublin was again visited by a terrible storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain, which, happily, was but of short dnration, and appears to have been confined to the city and the im mediately adjacent suburbs. Persons residing five miles from the metropolis heard nothing of the storm. DECREASE OF PAUPERISM. The cheering prospect of a harvest of more than ordinary abundance is already producing salutary effects, by the thi nn i ng of the workhouses, even in those unions which had suffered most during the last five years of scarcity. It appears from toe Kerry_ papers that nearly 200 paupers were lately discbargeod, from the Tralee workhouses, while the !umber of admissions on last board day amounted only h t a r e There are not now much over 2,500 pauper! since able to a union that had not many lications short of 8,000 to support and lodge. P continue to be for assistance towards emigre months ration still F ave affairs preceded made by the inmates whose friends t _ e of the them to America. Altogether . a highly prosperous union are represented to be in condition. ELOPEMENT. A correspondent of the Daily Express furnishes the following bit of scandal. According to a Lime rick paper the gay Lothario h en officer in one of the Highland regiments. The 71st is at present sta tioned in Kilkenny.— " The leading topic of conversation here (Kilkenny) is the elopement of the young and interesting 'wife of o ne of our county commoners with a gallant son of Mars. Th o juvenile couple have not yet been united t h re e years, and were married immediately on the young gentleman coming of age, and attaining an se cession to a large fortune. The fair fugitive is the thir d d a ughter of a Noble Marquis. The party were last seen on board an American packet-ship at Li •- vorpool." f The screw frigates Dauntless, 33, Captain Halsted, and Hightlyer, 21, Captain H. J. Matecu, are ordered to have their defect: made good. for foreign service, and to r°ccive five rnotiths provision, &c. In cow pence of the tido not rising sufficiently high to remove the Col lingwood, 80, from the north deck, tho ; auutless Luis been taken into the seam basin dock at Portsmouth, from whence the }kola was removed. 'The Highflyer has been taken out 01 the angle dock, end is fitting in the basin. A spare propeller has been ordered for her ; the dockyard will complete her by the 16th, the engi neers by the 22d, and she will be ready for sea by the Ist of October. The Admiralty have ordered the complements of the screw-sloops Niger. 74. Commander Heath, at Potts mouth, and the Wasp, 14, Commander Lord John Hay, at Woolwich, to be increascd to 170. The former will be ready for sea by the 'hrst. week in October ; the latter will be out of the haat'. of tiot d oc k yar d b y the 23d Ina. DETONPOET &MAW' HOME.—Charles Dixon, Esq., of Stansted Park, has forwarded through die Port - Admiral, Sir J. A. Ommanney, the munificent donation of 501. to the funds of' this institution. MANNINO THE NAVY.—We_understund that the tate and experienced officer, Commodore Superintendent Seymour, of Devonport Dcckyatd, has had berCire him during the past week several of the most eilicieni.of the extra-riggers employed in the dockyard, and has put to them singly a series of questions in the presence of the master attendant or his assistant.. The men were com pletely astonished at it, not knowing the drift of the catechising, but no doubt the report Will tend to assist the committee now sitting at the Admiralty, in coming to their conclusions on the various topics now under their consideration. Electra, 19, Commander Morris, has been removed to alongside her hulk at Portsmouth. She has com menced rigging; will be completed by the dockyard on the 10th. Sh e h as mo r e than half her ship's company on her books. Frolic, 16, has bean taken into dock No. 7 at Ports mouth, to be examined and brought forward. Geyser, 6, steam-sloop, is ready at Devonport to sail for the West Indies, to relieve the Rosamond, 6, steam sloop, ordered home. Hound, 8, Cemmander Robert Hall, was paid off at Devoaport on Saturday. Leopard steam-frigate is being rigged by the men of the ordinary in the sea basin at Portsmouth.

Yesterday,. about half-past twelve o'clock, as three oxen, belonging to Mr. Price, butcher, of Clare Market, were being driven from Smithfield to be slaughtered in Bear. yard. Lincoln's Inn-fields, one of them became very resive, and when in Sheffield -street, in which the slaughter-houses are situated, it started off at a furious rate, butting at everything in its way. In this manner it turn e d i n t o Clare Market , which p lace, fortunately, at the above hour, was nut s o crowded as us ual. Here it made s eve ral attempts to toss the p erson s it came near, but not succeeding, vented its fur y on ever y article ex hibited for sale in the streets. Il then proc ee d e d lei surely into Clement's Inn-passage, where in th e fi rst instance it ser iously gored two children named Atkinson, residing at 46, Clement 's-lane, one of whom was only aged seven years, the other, its brother, five months ; it then passed on, and in the same passage attacked a girl named Phillips, aged nine years, whose nose it broke, and inflicted other serious injuries on different pans of her body. From this point it proceeded slowly, spreading great terror, until it reached the northern entrance to Clement's-inn, which is protected by two upright bars to prevent the ingress of loads, &c.; havinginserted its head between the bars it forced its body through, completely bending one of the bars, and passed through the first and second squares of the inn without meeting any obstruc tion. In the third square, or the first from the principal entrance, it encountered an aged laundress, named Smitb, whom it run at and tossed. On being lifted up the unfortunate woman was found to have some dreadful in juries on the forehead, and she was at once ruwoved to King's College Hospital. From Clement's:inn the infu riated beast proceeded into the Strand, through Temple bar, Fieet-street, and Ludgate-hill, with a very quiet de meanour. •In St. Paul's Churchyard it overturned an empty truck, and made several attempts on those pass leg. Turning into Aldersgate-street an attempt was made to stop its progress by some Irish paviours re pairing the street in that locality, but it put on a bold front and with great coolness advanced to the charge, making its valiant opponents seek refuge behind the piles of stones at which they were labouring. Having tossed a lad a little farther on without seriously injuring him, the enraged animal was eventually secured in Charter-house.square, and having been placed in a beast-cart was conveyed to Bear-yard, where it was at once killed. On inquiry at King's College Hospital, it was ascertained that the two youngest children were but slightly injured, but that the injuries on the face and, head of the girl Phillips wer e of so ver y serious a de scription as to warrant her being k e p t in the ins titution. The wound on the head of t he old woman was of a frighhtfal kind , the sca l p bein g laid bare for several h completelyof the hea s d t o h t o h o e k eyebro ws ,that, her great age, nearly 70 year s, it is feared she will not i B from had b t e h e e n top so re cover; her wounds, however , having been dressed, s h e persisted in being removed to her residence in Milford lane. This is the second occurrence of infuriated ani mals " running a muck" that has taken place in the same neighbourhood within the last fortnight. No ac cident, however, occurred by the former one. EXTENSION OF THE METROPOLIS TO THE NORTH.. WEST.—The metropolis is rapidly increasing in extent in a north-west direction. Primrose-hill is nearly encircled by houses, and St. Jobn's•wood appears as if it would soon be joined to the West-end, and we may safely anticipate that in a few years the village of Willesden will be included within the limits of the metropolis. The low fares by the omnibuses which run from the City, by Holborn and Ox ford-street, to Kilburn, and the establishment of a station on the London and North-Western Railway at this village, with the facilities now afforded of reaching it by railway from the City, has caused a great demand for a superior class of residences, to meet which the freeholders of the Kilburn park estate have devoted fifty acres of land for building purposes, and will immediately- commence making the ne cessary roads and sewers.

A. meeting of a few of the nest influential of the shareholders in this compa , y Nes held at Glasgow on Tuesday, Mr. Andrew Orr iethe chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the diretors had thought it proper, in the present position of the affairs of the company, to ask a few of the met influential of the shareholders to meet them for thepurpose of consider ing certain matters which peculiarly affect their in terest. The present direction 0313 into office when their line was incomplete, and hives the wish of the shareholders that exertions sholld be made for the purpose of continuing., the formeion of their line on ward to the south. Thi s e ff eete l , it became neces sary to make further Arran ne ena for the securing of the southern traffic. eFirst, they? a d to d ea l w ith the Caledonian Company, with th e ge-a Tr* of obtaining the use of nine miles of their line letween Gretna and Carlisle. This was ace4eaptliale e k with considerable difficulty, because imUre' idiately on e ff ec ti ng a pas sage along this porcten of thei r ay, they became a rival line to the Caledonian, Comp ye After many Tr, negotiations, however, tlV:sae ded in overcoming the Lancaster company After this they had to appl y to the Lancaster and Carlisle Company for admission t o their station where eae the most determined haltilit y ot . y. it was necessary to have - - accomm odation for the goo d s and engines, and the other machinery o f the com pany. The other companY__,..' with which, the had to y deal was the London gild North.Wesfern, and by that company, as well as the Lancast er an d C ar li s l e , they were spoken to civilly ; this appli es par ti cu l ar ly to the London and North-Western C ompany . Th e arrangements have now been of two y ears ' stan di ng, and notwithstanding the large quantity of goods which they had been sending forward to the English ' lines, the fact of the matter was they had been get ting nothing down from them in return. When or ders have been sent specially asking goods to come by the line, undoubtedly they have not come by any other, but beyond this all the fair promises which they received have resulted in empty words. All those companies were connected with each other to a certain extent, and it is only fair that this company should seek to exercise what power it might possess to get away from a connexion in which it has hitherto received anything but fair play. The first matter which presents itself is the Caledonian, and the Edin burgh and Glasgow Compaq going to Parliament for the purpose of effecting an amalgamation. Now, this accomplished, the Caledonian Company, strong at present, will have become greatly more so, and it is the opinion of the directors that they should oppose the amalgamation of those companies till the Caledonian Company concede to them something like fair play over the nine miles to which he had re ferred. Last year they were approached by an Eng lfianre as thence to Gretna, Eng lish company, who asked them to j o i n them in a scheme to connect themselves with the Gr ea t N orthern Ripon and to join shyysttehtmhe:wm in w ay o hicthh f ac Corby. f i B oomrmesadtoawano y faas this route they would have afforded, by means of the projected line, to be called the Great Northern and Scottish Irish Union, and their own, direct communication from London to Glasgow. The directors are unanimous in the opi nion that it would be wrong any longer to lie under those difficulties. The directors had made up their minds to give every encouragement to the promoters of the proposed line. It was estimated that the ex pense for thus effecting a direct communication be tween Glasgow and London would amount to 1,500,000/., and they propose that this company should take stock to the amount of 20 0,0001. Some were of opinion that it would be better for the com pany to make the line from Gretna to Corby, by which means they would not only have a direct com munication, but the control of that portion of the way the same as the Caledonian have of that part of the line from Gretna to Carlisle. A SHAREHOLDER—How many miles of railway require to be formed between Corby and Gretna ? The CHAIRMAN —About twelve miles. Mr. WEBB said that at present there was only one main line of railway between London and Glasgow, and the effect of which was that the line in Scotland with which the London and Northern was in alli ance, takes, in truth, the great mass of the Glasgow traffic to the prejudice of the Glasgow and South- W eaceru tAmpeny. ,Caking is straight nee rein Leeds to Lancaster, they had three direct lines—the London.and North-Western, the Great Northern, and the Midland to Leeds. Now, if Yorkshire was entitled to three distinct lines, surely the important city of Glasgow was entitled to more than one. When the Great Northern was proposed there was also another line before Parli ament — t h e Northern Counties Union ; for it was not intended that the Great Northern should be merely a line from London to York, but an independent line in connexion with the Northern Counties from London to Glasgow. Par liament looked upon the Northern Counties scheme as one for connecting through Yorkshire the other lines to Carlisle, and with that line they would have had a complete and independent communication, be sides that of the London and North between Glasgow and Lond on. Great al li anc es have been frequently found Powe r f u l f or the a d va ncement of the interests of a company, b ut they h ave been also brought into play for the pu rpose of danaaging such interests, and this was th e case with the Northern Counties. That scheme wa s b eset b y f r i e nds, and, with the view of befrie n di ng if the London , Western, and North-Western Company took 3,000 shares, but, by their interference in a committee in the House of Commons, however well intended a clause was in " ' troduced which in effect swamped the Bill altogether, When the directors sought to have an amended Bill, the London and North-Western Companh by their agents in Parliament, fought, time after time, till they ultimately succeeded in annihilating the Nor thern Comities as a company. Now, the Northern Counties does not represent a small number of share holders. There are a very lar ge number in England, many in London, some in Edinburgh, and some in Glasgow, and from the knowledge h e ha d of the feel ings of the shareholders generally, he was satisfied they were extremely desirous still to carry out this through line. The power s o f the Act of Par liament under which the Northern Counties exist expiring in the month of July last, it had been suggested by influential parties that the shareholders ought to se e k st i ll to carry ou t the object for which the Northern Counties ComPanY w k as originally formed, as regards the through line, .°3 7 means of a new company. Th ere . wa s another line embraced in the scheme, a line from Dumfries to Portpatrick, f o r the purpose of securing the Scottish traffic and facilitating tha int ercourse between Great Brit a i n an d Ireland. At present there is 'only oned line for th a t purpose , name l y, t h at o f the Ch es ter an Holyhead, from which latter place to KiDgßlOwn there is while th e Port patrickTh.a sea voyage of 63 miles, line has only a sea passage of 21 mile s ' l i d s route,n with its short sea passage of 21 miles, wo uld " only beeeee the traffic between Ireland and Glas gow, g°w, but would also accommodate Edinburgh amie great part of England, for all places north of Lee d s _would find it to their interest to adopt this rou te to Belfast. In addition, also, to the through sc heme being an , it w as the shortest betwen independent line Glasgo w L eeds and Glasgow and London. Between there would be a saving of 154 miles, and be tween would re- Glasgow and Hull a saving of 301 miles. W i th th snect to the traffic estimates, there was no doubt the a very considerable amount would come upon _ line, and The estimated cost that it would pay well. of the line w as 8 , 0001. a ., Dumfries and Port Patrick s mile, and of the line t h roug h Yorkshire 11,0001. a mile. After some obs e r va ti ons from Mr• Meiklam, Mr. Logic, Bailie M'Dowall, Mr. G. Weir, and Mr. Robertson, The CHAIRMAN stated that this would be the only Way that they could get quit of the difficulties im posed upon them by the Caledonian. They paid that company at resent 6 300/. pe r annum in round p, n umbers, an d it might go on unti l the y p aid them per annum for ni ne lo,oool, miles of their line ; and, moreover the tra ffi c could not be developed. If th e y deprived the Caledonian of the greater part of this 6 ' 300 /. per annum, and a further portion of their present through trade, the result would be to throw them back into renewed difficulties. An arrange ment might b e come to by which both parties might derive prodigious advantages• But, as Mr. Baxter, an able gentleman connected with the Great Northern, told him as the result of his experience, "You will never get anything f r om a railway com p an y unless you show that you possess a power to dama g e their i nterests in a correQponding degree." They had great advatnages to offer to the Caledonian C o mpany. They could give them advantages at that end of the line full y equiva lent t o a ll the advantages which they could give them over the nine miles at the other end. They said, "If you relieve us at the other end of 6,0001., or 18,000/ , or 1000001, we will show you how you can he be ne fi ted to a still' greater amount at this ee d . i, Then, supposing the Coledon ian were to a g ree w ith this company, t he ' support of this new line, even at the risk of 200,0001, would be an immense advant age to both companies. If the Lancaster and Carlisle line, which passes over a barren country, could pay 62 per cent., there was eve r y p ros p ect of the pro posed line, which would be over a barren country, and be supported by the Great Northern, paying 5 or 6 per cent., or at least a fair return. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which P Mr. G. WEIR entered into a statistical statement to show that the proposed line would pay well and have the effect, in the course of two years from the open ti eh ß iin E ag ted said whichev he ery was theydifficulty ffiing, of raising the di v id en d on the Glasgow and South- Western line to 4 per cen t, per annum. Mr. A: MACGE OG p saadtciusnfil not yt satisfied , that raenv ido t ut h hs e la i y r t directors had given this subj ec t t h e greatest attention, h dd an w not hich they w ere a bl e to prove. He h cttho e ea a nyt r si t td i hil l eaer y creds had concur red :aatned in their important recommenda tions, and would simply move that " The meeting, having heard the explanations of the directors in regard to the present position and prospects of the company, cordially approve of the general line of policy which the directors propose to adopt."—(Cheers.) Mr. Loara cordially seconded the motion. The matter was of the highest importance to the Glasgow and South-Western Company, and the construction of the line between Gretna and Ripon could not fail materially to promote their interests. They should all feel heartily obliged to the directors for calling them together on such an important occasion. The motion was unanimously carried. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. BRADFORD, WAKEFIELD, DONCASTER, AND GREAT NORTHERN DIRECT. A meeting was held at Normanton on Saturday to consider the desirability of establishing a direct line between Bradford, Wakefield, and the metropolis. The promoters of this line contemplate a considerable saving in distance between the West Riding of York shire and London. There were gentlemen present ttlore, call upon some gentle- man principal towns intended to be bene xolestwl,aoaunnddseh e three eroposed scheme—viz., Bradford, Leeds, f afi r nt o ed m d 1 vh t h ya e kt e t h h e fi eld. Letters had also been received by solicitors to the line from noblemen p ossessin g ex tensive property i n the district throu g h which the line is intended t o run, ex p ressin g their concurrence in the scheme , a nd their intention of supporting it. Mr. R. Hudson w as called to the chair. Mr. HUDSON sai d he did not know much about the propt ih presentf, and b h ee were iu apprehended the ther esame p w e e s r i e . therefore, o t t ea h e nu e r. r e a t probable sgi eol d H e , vn explainline in to the meeting the benefits, the Mr. WESTMORE LAND, of Wakefield, one of the so li c it o rs to the undertaking, said, before reading the ould run line report of the engineer he would state this much almost as a first principle. It was fully agreed on all hands that it was absolutely necessary that Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds should be put into as direct communication with the. metropolis, through the Great Northern Railway, as practicable. Perhaps he might be suspected of having a strong feeling on be half of Wakefield, of which town he was an in habitant, which was perfectly put out of the direct route to London and the greatly populated towns in the neighbourhood. With regard to the Midland line, Oakenshaw was the nearest point for Wakefield people ; and his hearers could well understand the innumerable objections that might be advanced against a railway which necessitated a debarcation at Oakenshaw both of luggage and passengers, and again at Wakefield. By the Great Northern route they had to seek the aid of the Lancashire and Yorkshire line and their Askern branch before they could get on the main line. To remedy these defects, it being highly desirable there should be a continuous a nd direct communication between Wakefield, Bradford, and the metropolis, the present line had been projected. This rei directel rf o s rn L o g am i s s t object would be attained by a junction, close upon Doncaster, with the Great Northern Railway, and by continuing the line from Wakefield forwards to Bradford, with a branch to Leeds. He might add that Mr. J. Walker, their engineer, had on two oc casions been the engineer to the Great Northern Railway. The plans he submitted on the present occasion were identical with those that the Great Northern Company had laid before the Committee of the House of Commons, save and except the various emendations and improvements which time and expe rience had pointed out, or which had been adopted to meet the changed features of the case. He held in the engineer on the project his hand the report of coueseted w;ele the three towns. Mr. Westmorlanu then read the report of the engineer, from which it bturnrere :i i o i tlgt s i n t Bohdg a nti n ss ,wctl miles distance, with t eceh b .ie6 e n: h t g w eaT e sGo e h ntnrehleyeadßt furlongs,ci 41 r r atloitadowhnfr the furlongs d and the di rect h d sf e u i Wakefield by this new line would be 13 miles 1 fur- Dm r l o o n n o l a g y nkc e ea r l fis 2 etel m dr thaniwtl to the o s t tu h h 4 l e e l ) distance being 17 miles, l a o n n p g e , ar w ed hil t e ha to Doncaster, furlongs, thus only sho r ti h ng 7 making a difference in favour of a fu d r i l ff o e n r gs, and 5 chains, un dertaking of only 6k furlongs.

The report concluded by call ing attention to the extensive coal fields which would be thus opened to the London and other markets. Mr. Westmorland continued his routes the proposed lines would take ; stating that the project had been registered in June, since which time a piracy had been made of their scheme ; for this, however, he said, he did not care, as the superior ad vantages offered by the present line would sufficiently recommend it when once placed before the public ; and concluded by calling upon Mr. Walker to ex hibit the plans. The plans and sections of the undertaking were then shown, and various portions of them commented 1 upon. This occupied some time. Afterwards the fol lowing resolution was unanimously agreed to : " That this meeting having considered the plans of the Bradford, Wakefield, Doncaster, and Great Northern Direct Railway, with branch to Leeds, are convinced that the project submitted is better calculated than any other yet laid before the public, to secure a direct com munication between Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield, and the metropolis, while at the same time it more fully de velopes the most extensive coal fields of the West aiding. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then awarded, and the proceedings terminated. SOUTH WALES.—Several days have been given out for the further opening of this line from Swansea to Carmarthen. At first the 30th instant was announced as the day, but that was subsequently altered to the 14th. We, however, are in a position to state that the opening will take place on Thursday week, the 16th instant. The distance is about thirty miles, which will make about 130 miles of railway opened by this company, and the preparations for the event are on a large scale. At a special meeting of the Car marthen Town Council, held to consider what steps should be taken to celebrate the event, which will be of so much importance to the district, the Mayor (Mr. W. Morris), with a spirit of generosity not often found to exist, volunteered to take upon himself the management of the intended festivities and to bear the whole expense himself. The council thank fully accepted the proposal, and the present arrange ments are—that a special train shall leave Swanse a about midday, and that a public reception of the al yl take e l p b l e ac i e n , v c it o e n d el t u o d i a ng dej w iu itn ne a r. rectors, &c., shall take place at Carmarthen, where they will be invited to a dejèuner.

We have peculiar pride and pleasure in announcing this officer's promotion, for we claim the credit of bringing his name before the Admi ralty on several occasions, with advantage to himself and credit to the service, although we have not the honour of his acquaintance. This gallant officer has been very much neglected, and we must impute to O'Byrne's excellent biography the almost unpardonable fault of slurring over one of the most daring, dashing, and desperate achievements by Lieutenant De Courcy, that has been performed since the peace; and which in the height of the war would have secured for him an earlier, if not a higher reward than he has reaped from modern Admiralty boards, who daily seek ex cuses for the advancement of their friends and rela tions. Captain Michael De Courcy is the eldest son of the late Captain De Courcy, R.N., K.T.S., grandson of the late Admiral of the Blue the Honour able Michael De Courcy, and cousin of the present Lord Kinsale. He entered the navy in 1824, passed his ex amination in 1830, and served eight years as mate, be fore he gained his Lieutenant's rank. He then served in the Racer, and on the 4th of March, 1841, was ap pointed to the command of the Charybdis, 3, brigantine, on the West India station; from which ship, says O'Byrne, " he was pr omo t e d to his present rank for his extraordinary gallantry at the capture of the earths genian squadron when protecting the British interests in South America." When we read the almost tedious de tails which are appended to certain officers' acts of gal lantry (Sir C. Napier's, for instance), given with all the exciting particulars of the odds on the part of theenemy, and the numbers of killed and wounded on both sides, we feel annoyed at the manner in which Captain De Courcy's vindication of the honour of the British flag is sum marised; and, in justice to those who have promoted him, we must briefly state the facts from memory. The " Carthagenian squadron" was composed of six armed vessels, under the command of a Commodore Brown, interests ebelieve,ete during e ac the h bein g The British man-of-war was detached to protect British i nt e qualne int ernecine e forcescivatbob squabbles s e Charybdis. among the republics, and was entering the port of Carthagena where Commodore Brown's squadron was at anchor, when the commodore opened a fire upon the Cha rybdis, and, if we remember rightly, killed one of her crow. Upon this the gallant lieutenant-commander, notwithstandingnoa.rely he te the powerful toowerf quarters, and fell ulcdde that werell to k ag w ai o n r st him, s lTorisigiaenr: pell-mell on the whole squadron, nor did he cease firing until he sunk the commodore's own ship, the commo dore himself being among the killed, and the rest of the enemy had struck their flags. De Couroy then landed and took possession of the town or city, and received ample atonement for the indignity the British flag had received. It is true the gallant commander of sixty officers, men, and boys was promoted by Lord Had dington immediately ; but he was allowed to kick about "marble halls" for a couple of years, and then to fall back upon the coast guard service for our years, when the Earl of Auckland rescued this gallant officer from obscurity, and appointed him to the command of the Helena, 12, which ship he paid off a few months since from the West Indies, in a manner most creditable to himself and all on board, for she was reported as the most e ffi cient, the most healthy, and the most comforta ble ship from the station. The just and graceful thing would have been to have promoted Captain de Courcy when he had served his twelvemonth; but it was re served for the Duke of Northumberland to recognise the great claims of his brother officer, and to place him in that rank which he earned in 1842.-Herald.

To carry out the former of these objects, A WEEKLY PUBLIC BALLOT will take place in London and other principal towns of the United Kingdom, until there shall have been selected 4,000 FREE PASS AGES TO AUSTRALIA; the Certificate for the original Share of 11. is. being exchanged, im mediately after the Ballot, for an Order for the passage in a first class vessel. The whole of the Shares subscribed for will, from time to time, be publicly put into the ballot-box, and the Ballot will take place under the immediate supervision and direction of the Trustees, due publicity being previously given of each Ballot in the public news papers. Owners of Free Passage Orders will also be at liberty to sell or transfer them to any other person ; but the name and address of the party to whom they may have been transferred, must be for warded for approval to the Company's Offices five days prior to the departure of the vtssel in which the intending emigrant may be de sirous of taking his or her passage. Two Children under twelve years of age will be equal to one adult. A list of Vessels about to sail will be ready for distribution pre vious to each Ballot. Those who do not draw a Free Passage Order at the Ballot will retain their original Share or Shares in the Mining property and adventures of the Society without further liability. 4,000 SHAREHOLDERS WILL HAVE A BONUS OF 80,0001.

TILE HUNTER MITER GOLD MINING GROUND, FORMING PART OF THE SEGENHOE ESTATE, Ts situated 150 miles north of Sydney, near Maitland, New south Wales, a mineral lease of which property, cinsisting of 2,000 acres, has been secured by the Trustees of this Fund. This estate was granted by the Crown, and has been in possession of the original proprietors for thirty years, and is pronounced by Judge Cracroft, an eminent geologist, to be a mass of mineral wealth, which subsequent Investigations have entirely confirmed. The lease is for twenty-one years, with power of renewal for a similar period ; and the titles, maps, and other documents may be inspected at the Company's Offices. The following passage occurs in a pamphlet on " Australia and her Treasures," published by Effingham Wilson, the materials of which were supplied by Captain Westmacott, M.R.G.S. and F.G.S., whose intimate knowledge of the country and its resources is universally appreciated :—" The quartz found under Mount Royal, and the flanks that run into the Segenhoe estate (now the property of this Society) are all of a crystallized compact transition strata. This may be considered the commencement of the gold country, as the detritus of these rocks forms the auriferous alluvial deposits of the lower stratum. Immense districts lie be tween these ravines, entirely destitute of water, * and in the beds and branches of all is gold deposited, which has been continuously washed down from the mountains and rocks for centuries, and in the overflowing distributing itself in the land and soil in all direc tions. It is not, however, in gold alone that the inexhaustible trea sures consist—rubies, garnets, and topazes, have already rewarded the labours of the miner, and that the diamond will be added in great numbers to the golden garner, is expressed with confidence by some of the most scientific persons." This Company has also entered into a Contract for the purchase of a Patent Invention, applicable to the reduction of quarts and other minerals, and the extraction therefrom of every particle of metal contained in them, effecting a saving of at least 50 per cent. over every other process now in use. This extraordinary discovery will bring about a new era in the extraction of gold from quartz, inasmuch as will render unnecessary what has hitherto been the mous outlay of capital for expensive machinery, and offic aa+ men to work the same, as also great delay in putting it into operation ; whereas, the apparatus now about to be introduced, does not cost snore than 2501. each, having the advantages of being small, compact, easily transferable to its destination, and being ready for immediate use, and each apparatus being capable of reducing and extracting the gold from the enormous quantity of sixty tons of quartz per day. All applications for Shares must be addressed to the Trustees at the Offices, and must be accompanied by a remittance of One Pound One Shilling by Post-office Order, payable to the Right Honourable Lord Erskine, on receipt of which the necessary Shares will be duly transmitted to the Subscribers. 35, Throgmorton-street, London, 3d September, 1852. . .
