SHEERNESS, SEPT. 29.—Her Majesty's paddle wheel steam-vessel Wildfire, tender' to the Waterloo, 120, Mr. Brockusan, second 'nester, commanding, has returned from Heligoland. During- Sher voyage to this part she encountered very boistere us weather. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Barracouta ie under going a thorough refit. She made the voeu h -e from Spithead to the anchorage Funchal, Mad e ire, a distance of 1,330 miles, in 5:1 days, her average ! weed being 9 keots, the engines working the first taw° days on the first grade, and subsequently on th. 9 second grade of expansion. With a moderate breeze right aft and square sail set she went fully 10 knots per hour. Under steam alone, with a smooth sea, her actual speed during her passege from Madeira to Lisbon, a distance of 530 miles, was very 'ealy 101 knots. She accomplished the voyage from Lisboa to Spithead in 100 hours, which, as the distance between these anchorages is 860 miles, gives an hourly average of 8.6 knots only. This decrease in her rate of steaming is accounted for by the fact of her having had to contend with a strong breeze in the Bay of Biscay, otherwise she would have reached Spithead in 3i days. It has been observed of the Barracouta that when deeply laden, having her full quantity of coal and three months' provisions on board, her speed in smooth water is from 9 to 9i knots per hour ; but when light and nearly out of coal it is from 10 to 10i knots ; and with a strong breeze in her favour she attains to more than 11 knots. The unfortunate seaman who fell from the main yard of the London on Monday last expired just as the Lizard was in readiness to convey him to Mel ville Hospital. An inquest was holden on the body yesterday, and a verdict of Accidental death re corded. [PRICE SD• Navy Beef. Navy Pork". -_ ------- Tierces. 'Barre l s . Tierces. Barrels.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. ' The Directors of the Chiriqui Road Company have the satisfaction to state to their shareholders and the public, that in reference to the right and title of territory through which the road is to run, and Of which they never had and never could have the slightest doubt, a file of the Official Gazette of New Granada, extending from the Ist of January to the 3d of August last, has come to this country by the last West Indian Mail (these Gazettes may be seen at Lloyd's Mer chants' Room), which sets the disputed point completely at rest. These Gazettes, throughout the period mentioned, abound with official orders and decrees, civil, military, financial, and commercial, in reference to that portion of New Granada in which the Veraguas, Chiriqui, and Bocas del Toro are situated. In these we find returns of all descriptions : local and customs revenues and expenditure, or dered by the Supreme Government, and furnished by the local au thorities and proper officers of these provinces and districts, advert. ing to many years that are past. Especially we find the returns from the Custom-house of Bocas del Torn (see Gazette, July 17th) for 1840-1841, the year wherein the Costa Rica advocates have told us that the New Granadian Government had no establiAiments or authority of any kind there. Bunt still more decisive are the contents of the Gazette of April 6th, which in a Supplement gives us the Official Census of the Popu lation of the Republic of New Granada for 1851. It is dated Bogota, January 20th, 1852, In this census, which shows the total popula tion to be 2,243,731, we find discriminated every province, canton, district, parish, and hamlet, with the population of each, the number of electors, and the number and the names of the Senators and Re presentatives appropriated for each Province, and now representing these in the Legislature assembled at, and which holds its sittings in Bogota. From this curious and important document the Directors place before their Shareholders and the public the followiag account of the population, &c., of Veraguas and of the Province of Chiriqui, formerly part of Veraguas, and the western portion thereof:— Population.

Capital 100 Lacs of Rupees, or 1,000,0001. sterling, in 50,000 Shares of 200 Rupees, or 201. sterling each (with power to increase the Capital to 2,000,0001. sterling). Deposit Cl. sterling per share. Application will be made to her Majesty's Government and the Government of India for Charters of Incorporation, to limit the lia bility of shareholders. Scuactroas.—Messrs. Ilughes, Kearsey, and Masterman, London. BROKER 3. —Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite. The Bank of India is established for the purpose of carrying on the general business of banking and exchange in India, China, the Mauritius, Ceylon, Singapore, and other eastern possessions of the British empire ; for receiving deposits and making remittances ; for granting cash credits and making advances upon approved securi ties ; for issuing circular notes payable in Europe, Egypt, the prin cipal stations on the Overland routes to India, and at the different establishments of the bank ; for granting local drafts and credits ; and for all other legitmate banking business. The large capital of the Bank of India will render it a safe medium of deposits and Investment for the Indian community, whilst the sources of profit to be derived from the extended operations of the bank, by means of its different agencies, and the high rate of in terest obtainable in India, will ensure a large and profitable return upon the capital invest ed, and will, it is confidently expected, justify the allowance of a moderate rate of interest to the depositors. The great success which has attended the operations of the exist ing i•anking establishments in this country, connected with the East Indies, and of the well-conducted 1 , cal banks in the different Pre sidenetec, and the enco ura g ement g iven to the employment of eapital in similar undertakings by the extension of commerce and railways, has led to the formation of the Bank of India. The extension of banking facilities necessary to meet the growing requirements of the mercantile community and of the large civil and military establishments of India, and the development of the sources of wealth of that country which must arise from its improved internal communication by the railways projected and now in progress there, will open an extensive and profitable field for the operations of the Bank at its different branches. The objections which were formerly entertained to the manage ment in England of banking establishments connected with countries so distant as India have been removed, by the rapid means of inter course now existing between these two countries. The certainty and rapidity of this communication will be ffirther increased by the new lines of railway now in proess on the conti nent of Europe and in Egypt, and by the agency of gr the electric and sub-marine telegraphs about to be established by powerful companies already in operation. Arrange ments are in progress to secure to this Company the co operation and support of some of the largest native merchants of India, which will extend the operations of the Bank amongst that class of the Indian community. Application will be made to her Majesty's Government and to the Government of India for charters of incorporation to limit the lia bility of the Shareholders, and power will be taken to increase the capital of the Company to 2,000,000/. sterling, in which event the new shares will, in the first instance, be offered for distribution amongst the existing Shareholders, and such other parties as, from their local connexions and other circumstances, may be considered likely to extend the business of the Bank. The arrangements for the constitution of this Company are now nearly completed, and full prospectuses, with the names of the Board of Directors, will be pablished in a few days.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET. A. special meeting of this company was held yes terday at the London Tavern to consider the pro priety of confirming the forfeiture of certain shares in the Bury St. Edmund's Extension line, and autho rizing them to be sold or otherwise disposed of ; Mr. C. Fane in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that the directors had been obliged to call the proprietors together to confirm the forfeiture of certain shares. The shares were held by persons who had every opportunity given them of paying the call made in December 1851, and he believed that two notices since that period had been issued to the shareholders in arrear, and the direc tors had no alternative but to declare the shares for feited. Mr. BROWNE, the secretary, read the resolution confirming the forfeiture of certain shares, which were specified, and authorizing the directors to sell or otherwise dispose of them, in such way and at such times as they may deem expedient. Mr. FRITH wished to know how many shares were forfeited, and the amount of them. The CHAIRMAN said the number of shares for feited was between 5.000 and 6,000. Some of the shares had 3/. paid on them, and others had nothing paid, having, it appeared, been subscribed for no minally. A PROPRIETOR wished to know whether the hol ders could not be proceeded against for the recovery of the calls due. The CHAIRMAN explained that the directors had done the best they could to cover the arrears, and they had no doubt they would be able to dispose of the whole of them at par. • The resolution confirming the forfeiture of the shares was then carried unanimously, as was also one forfeiting and merging certai❑ shares in the capital of the company. In reply to - a question, it was stated that there were 27,000, shares in the company, and that the company had power to issue other shares, in lieu of the merged shares, at par. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. WATERFORD AND TRAMORE.—It appears that the works on this line are progressing under Mr. Dargan, the contractor, and that he has engaged to open it for traffic on the Ist of May, 1850.

The mill was working double shifts, and at six o'clock on Tuesday morning the engine was stopped to allow the fire to be cleared. The fireman, James Robinson, had cleared out the " scarles," and the miller was just about setting the engine away again, when the boiler exploded with great violence. The boiler-hou se, warehouse, and engin e -h ous e are totally destroyed; the fire man and one-half of the boiler were thrown over a hedge into an adjoining meadow, and three other men were more or less injured. The fireman was much scalded, and was removed t© Newcastle Infirmary, where he lies in a precari ous state, and the destruction of property is considerable. The boiler was an old one, but there is nothing to indicate how , the explosion originated. 14 )9 ).., 4 11 111 tow • FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—It is somewhat remarkable that the first attempt to renew and to improve our diplomatic relations with Rome should proceed from the very men whose injudicious a lt erat i on o f the Bill for that purpose converted it i n t o a stumbling block anti a amility; and we learn withsome se e surprise that P Mi nistry which m 6 lays 'clai; hi P r otesta gh nt principles and charaetgr should have authorised a measure which so liable fo be inisconetelied by the Pape! Court. Without pretending .to be in the secret of Sir Henry But wer i s late excursion to Rome, at a season when nobody who can help it epproachee that, city, and even the Pope retires to the Alban we suspect lhat the account of thi, mi ss i on which h as a pp eare d ire some foreign journals IS not far wide of the truth, end that lie attempt has been m a d e , by order of the British Government, to place our relations with the itomish See on a better footing—an attempt in which even Sir Ilenry I3ulvver'e well-known abilities have not been successful. It ought to have been foreseen that the C a bi net o f th e Vatican would only regard this con c ili atory step as a sign of weakness or a recantation of th ose sent i men t s w hich strongly animate the great m a j ority o f th e Briti s h nation. It is strange that within two years of the appearance of the Papal bull di v idi ng England into new dioceses by foreign authority, and appointing the delegates of a foreign power to the government of these ecclesiastical divisions, an E ng li s h Minister should have made his appearance at Rome unsolicited, uninvited, and with no previous explanation or with drawalre- garded and denounced in this cou n t ry as an outrage on the Sovereign and the, nation which th a t Minister of a measure which had b een universally y represents. What can ,he thought by the Cardinal Secretary of State of the real disposition of the British Government towards the Papal See, when he finds that for the first time S i nce the m i ss i on of Lord Castlemaine under Ja mes II has a British Envoy Plenipotentiary t o ing Court waiting for an audien cein hi s ante chamber ? Instead of the dignifi e d coolness an d unbending demeanour which th e late acts o f the Papal Government towards this country ought to have imposed on our Ministers, they appear in an Rom e attitude which the arrogance of a n will readily sao suppliant. a a n s t. one Th o e f c c o o n u v r e t r of f i n n t oo Rome h e a t r e o s f e m a b c l o e s u r n t i o e t r h i a n n g d those Asiatic durbars with which we are accustomed to deal in a very different manner in our Eastern possessions. It is inflated with en extravagant con ception of its own dignity, surr o und e d b y monuments of former grandeur, and deceived by its own impene trable ignorance. While it owes its miserable and dependent existence to the presence of a foreign army, it expects all mankind to approach the seat of its mysterious power in a posture of humility; and it mistakes the common language of courtesy and re spect for an expression of awe and obedience. The only art practised in it with success is that of inces sant intrigue ; the only power before which it quails is that of vigorous action, stern independence, and a manly contempt of its o wn ar tifi ces; and if the Mi nister of a Protestant Crown is to appear in Rome at all, we are satisfied that he will hardly obtain the w h h e e time m w e e is saw , as reason w e ompeem,be r, no t very far in common with re cognition of his just right s un l ess h e b e instructed to speak in the tone of a G overnmen t prepared to enforce them.T distant the Ministers and Legi s l a t ure o f thi s country, that a more conciliatory poli c y t owar d s th e Romish See would not be without a beneficial effect on our rela tions with the Papal States, and with the Roman Catholic subjects of the Crown. We still think that if at that time— name l y, i n 1 8 4 6 and 1847—this policy had been j u di c i ous l y acte d upon, and if the Diplomatic Relati ons Bill h a d not been rendered abortive by Lord E g li nton ' s a b sur d and mischievous amendment, it wou ld h ave b een possible to avoid much of the evil which has since occurred. The policy of the British Government towards the Irish people, and in the matter of Irish education, would have been less misrepresented ; the influence of fanatics and rebels would not have been left uncontroverted ; Lord Minto's roving mission would not have been associated with th e revo l utionary outbreak that fol lowed it; and th e P ope would have been told at a proper time that Dr. Wiseman and John of Tuam were blowing the embers of a deadly quarrel to gratify their passions and their ambition at the cost of religion and tolerance. Such hopes might be entertained—such results might perhaps have been secured —at the commencement of the reign of Pius IX., or at least it seemed to be so ; but, in com mon with many other aspirations of that sanguine period, they have now utterly vanished. In place of a wise and tolerant Pontiff, we have to deal with a bigot, bewildered by the dangers he has encountered, and circu mscr ib e d by the humiliating position i n which he i s p l aced. We find at Rome a Government not only no t prepared to meet us half way in the measures whi c h a more en li g h tene d an d lib era l p o li c y, would suggest, but closely allied to the most arbi trary Powers, favouring the most odious forms of su perstition, encouraging the revival of persecution itself, and raising its pretensions to spiritual omnipo tence in proportion to the depth of its temporal abasement. From, such a Power we are satisfied that nothing i s to be obtained for the cause of justice, freed om , or h uman i ty; an d we se r ve those sacred objects far more by standing aloof alto gether in the light of our independence than by attempting to throw a beam across that abyss of oppression and corruption. It is not the fault of tent State, if Protestant Pow ers , o r of th e po li cy o f any rela tionsProtes- which seeme d a t one time poss ibl e b e t w een the two gr ea t di v i s i ons o f the Chris t i an Church those pacific an d harmonious of ,Europe Cat hol ic s have given way to mo r e unfriendly an d a crimonious sentiments. B u t in every part have turned th e liberty th ey en j oye d i n to a weapon of offence a ga i ns t their ne i g hb ours, an d o f attack on the civil p ower to which t h ey owe d a llegiance. In every part of Eurcpe pret ens i ons h a ve been revived on the part of the Itomish Church which were sup posed to have been finally annihilated two centuries ago ; and, although these ultramontane principles have manifested themselves in Ireland, and even in England, in the farms which the free institutions of this country tolerate--that is, with more uncontrolled violence than elsewhere —yet the same m ovement may be traced in every part of th e wor ld with the same revolting consequences. T o t rea t w ith Rome under such circumstances and co n diti ons is only to pay what she will regard as homage to the ascendancy we repudiate and deny. If we have reason to comp l a in of her interference with th e po li t i ca l and social state of the Queen's dominion s b y th e ag ency of her inde fatigable priesthood, it i s t o our o wn institutions; to our own laws, to our p ower , an d to our faith that we must alone look for redress. church, our liberties, an d our Against our independence the Church of Rome will p ro b a bl y n ot cease to do its worst, as it has done i n f orme r ages, with unremite ting hostility, though, th an k G o d! with indifferent success. But to treat w i t h suc h a power at this very time, when she has th rown as ide disguise and openly preaches treason u n d er ever y . form, setting up the the conscience spurious allegianc e o f to her mandates against the allegiance due to the law and to public duty, is a blunder and a weakness which we should hardly have supposed that even Lord Derby's Foreign Secretary would have committed. The result of such a mission appears to have been commensurate to the sagacity of the conception. A few civil speeches were exchanged between Sir Henry Bulwer and Car dinal Antonelli, and the British Envoy pro b a bl y brought away with him nothing but the conviction that in th e present state o f the Papal Government it is idle to sacr ifi ce t h e di g nity of this country by an attempt to conciliate a Power irreconcileably hostile to our dearest rights and our most sacred institutions. It would have been more creditable to the British Government if no such overture had been made. lIERALD.—There are some occasions when a retreat is best effected in silence, and in the dead of night. There are others, however, in which the general prefers to cover a retrograde movement by a great show of fight. Trumpets are sounded, drums beat to arms , and the troops march hither and thither; but just when you expect that the battle is about to begin, you discover that the whole was a feint, and that the bird is flown. The only Whig journal that is now left, of all the daily press, conceived it to be a plain duty to make the best it could of Lord John Russell's late display at Perth. But we humbly sug gest that it was a great mistake to turn the public attention on the weakest point of the whole case— namely, what is described as Lord John Russell's courage. For if ever there was an instance in which " the better part of valour" was declared to be " dis cretion" it is this. The meeting of Parliament is now rapidly drawing near, and the leader of the Opposition appears at a public dinner, and delivers himself of a great speech. This is the usual plan when a battle is approaching. We can all remember the proceed. ings of this kind which took place just before the meeting of Sir R. Peel's House of Commons i n 1835, and how Lord John Russell then reviewed his troops, and declared the plan of the compaign. Mr. Roebuck has already given us some notice before hand. He told us at Sheffield in July, that within a week after the meeting of Parliament the Ministry would be expelled by a vote of want of confidence. We only wanted, now, to hear the same prediction repeated by Lord John Russell, and we should have had, in a moment, the whole plan of the campaign before us. But Lord John Russell does not repeat it. Nay, he rather negatives the whole proposal. And his own journalist makes no secret of the reason why. It is frankly confessed that " any such opposition as was waged against Sir Robert Peel in 1835," " would involve r. certainty of failure." And the reason assigned is, "the rivalries of various Liberal leaders." Now this is a signal confession of failure. In 1835 Lord John could unite " the Liberal pArtv," ,Ind could dislodge even the great Sir Robert Peel. Li 1352 Lord John, it is confessed, cannot dislodge even "the incapahles who infest Downing street," under Lord Derby ; and thi , ", because " the Liberal party" will no longer unite under his banner. A plainer confession of failure in a Prime Minister could hardly he made. And what, then, is the re sult ? What is the valorous resolve of this (confess edly) disunited "Liberal party ?" It is calked " the wiser course—the course recommended by Lord J. Russell at Perth—the course of giving Mr. Disraeli rope enough, and trusting that the discussion of his measures will allow every Opposition chief abundant opportunity of evincing his own cle.ims." This is capital. And yet we cannot help thinking that Shake pere has phrased it better. In his racy style it runs thus:— "Why, since he has some evil practices, if thou couldst find them out, thou hadst better let him con tinue, till thou discoverest what they are." " There ! thou naughty varlet, thou hearest what is come upon thee ! Thou art to continue ! thou naughty varlet, thou art to continue I" So much for the general prospects of the session. The Peelite organ of yesterday entirely agrees with the Whig journal, that the present Ministry must be left where it is, for the best of all possible reasons—that it cannot be turned out. We happen also to know, that two well-known Whig Baronets, representing metropolitan constituencies, have expressed the same conviction within the last two or three days. On a single point, however, mischief is threatened. An idea is openly mooted, of a revival of " the Lichfield House compact." The first leader in the Whig jour nal of last evening commenced with these ominous words—" Don't be so sure that you have heard the last of the appropriation clause." And then follows this candid confession of the lengths to which the political morality of Whigs and Liberals may be stretched : "It is not likely that more than an insignificant mi nority could be mustered in favour of even the most modest application of national property for the purposes of the Roman priesthood; and it is quite certain that no Minister in his senses would throw such a firebrand among the constituencies. But we cannot doubt that a large number of Liberals will willingly co-operate in any attack upon the Irish Church, on the speculation— whatever we may think of its prudence—that their sub sequent defection will be sufficient to arrest the move ment before it passes from the stage of demolition to that of r econstruction." In a word,—in order to annoy and perhaps defeat the Ministry,—a large number of Whigs, Radicals, and Peelites would unite,—so says the Whig journalist, _with the Irish Brigade in an attack on the Irish Church. And they would do this, it is confessed, without meaning to carry the measure which they would thus support. They would do it on " the speculation, that their subsequent defection would suffice to arrest the movement. ' We are not alarmed at such threats as these ; nor do we at all mean that any serious s co ß n a se t q w u n en il c e es we w f o e u el ld no fo f ll e o a w r, fwroemmasy not ha t the less freely advert to the well-known fact, thet it was just in this way—by helping a movement at first, which they meant to arrest afterwards—that the French Liberals in 1789, and various other Liberals in other places, brought on results of a kind which they were the first to lament, when it was too late to undo them. CEIRoNICE.—We have already called attention to Lord Hardinge's more eminent qualifications for the distinguished and highly responsible post of Commander-in-Chief. His well-won honours in the field, his services in India as well as in Europe, his tried abilities as an a dministrator, and, above all, the proud place which he held in the affection and esteem of the Duke of Wellington, combine to constitute a claim which it was impossible to deny. But there are less obvious considerations which render his appointment peculiarly judicious, or singularly fortu nate, at the present period. We allude to the imper fect state of our national defences, and to the growing spirit of hostility which " looms" in the distance, in the direction of our nearest and most formidable neighbour. The founders and oracles of the Universal Peace Association may be right when they point to the commercial ties which now connect the leading coin munities of both hemispheres, as imposing a strong curb on the ambition of rulers and on the restlessness of glory-loving nations. No doubt, the consciousness of the serious losses to be incurred, and of the galling privations to be endured, by the most indus trious portion of the people which rashly provokes or is suddenly hurried into war, will form a strong check on the most bellicose rulers, wherever reason and justice can make themselves heard, or wherever some representative form of government faithfully reflects the intelligence and well-understood interests of the country. In France, f o r example, any vigilant observer may have r em arked from time to time, [du ring the past twenty years, an occasional outburst of the same feeling of towards England, to which two or three of the leading Paris journals have given renewed and bitter expression within the last fort night. But whilst the Chamber of Deputies or the National Assembly was in existence, and in the enjoyment of its lawful privileges, we felt safe ; be cause we knew that the whole influence of the trad ing classes would be thrown into the scale of good sense and humanity, and because the limited powers and strict responsibility of the Executive offered insuperable obstacles to a sudden disruption of amicable relations, with the view to a coup de main. The important change which has taken place in this respect appears to have altogether escaped the notice of those members of the British Legislature, who, " greatly daring," dined at the Elysee, and danced at the Tuileries, to celebrate the Prince Pre sident's temporary triumph over the institutions which he had solemnly sworn to maintain. It has obviously never occurred to them that those noisy and disorderly sittings of the National Assembly which are foolishly cited as decisive against Parlia mentary Government, were:not only the safety-valves of French turbulence, but.the guarantees of Euro pean tranquillity. Threats, mutterings, and other indications of peril, on which we laid little stress so long as France enjoyed a constitution, have pos sessed far more significance since her army, her fleet, and her revenues have been placed at the disposal of one man, who may at no very distant period conceive an English raid or invasion to be the best mode of confirming and consolidating his authority. It is notorious that the expediency of inaugu rating the new Empire by a military exploit of more than ordinary daring is the constant topic of dis cussion amongst Louis Napoleon's partisans, and that London, with its untold treasures in bullion and merchandise, or one of our most valuable naval arsenals, is familiarly proposed as the ready and appropriate mark and reward of Gallic valour and vindictiveness. All the workmen that can be use fully congregated have been set to work, night and day, to complete the railway at Cherbourg; and the President will soon be able, at a few hours' notice, to embark a number of troops sufficient, if ill-disposed landed on the coast of Devonshire, Hampshire, or Sussex, to inflict a vast amount of injury, if not , exactly to imperil our national existence. More over,misinformedlist has it is confidently believed, in quarters not likely s b on een su nav purposely pap e a o rss subject, seuoldyndael iny falsified, that at a the o as to render it a most inadequate index to the actual t maritime n Louis force Napoleonav ai available b i l s e n o o n t Let us not be misunderstood. It may be probable. towards the English people, and that a n yoked attack on us would not be hazarded, unpro voked as the last throw of the dice. Nor have except slightest doubt that any expedition we the hi lead or direct against the British isleswould meet with the most signal discomfiture, and would simply end by precipitating his fall. But the to a commercial country lik e En land iy, ienceasl; unsuccessful attempt at invasion, would ul n d d ve Le e r n avef , ; not permanently, injuri ous . Th e oFrencg. boaster war-steamer who recently spok e o f a new as an arch of a projected bridge forgot that, over the Channel, for every ten steamers which could be collected at Cherbourg, twenty might easily be concentrated at Plymouth or Spithead, and that to be independent o f the winds is at least as great an advantage to a watching squadron as to an attacking one. Nothing short of the grossest and most criminal neglect on the part of the British Government for the time being, could give the semblance of feasibility to a scheme of invasion on a large scale. Bat there exists a general, and, we fear, a well-founded suspicion, that we are by no means so secure as we might and ought to be against that description of warfare which was espe cially recommended by the Prince de Joinville in his famous pamphlet. Many worthy peopl e, w ho m it would be inaccurate to class with "old women," are haunted by visions of a French Paul Jones off Brigh ton, Weymouth, or Torquay ; and they already see, in their mind's eye, a compact body of ten or fifteen thousand French troops quietly landed somewhere on the west or south-west coast, and advancing into the heart of the country—destroying, burning, and levy ing contributions on the way. Admitting such fears to be exaggerated, it is not the less true that they derive strength from the incomplete state of our naval and military preperations ; and the rank and influence of a nation are invariably lowered and impaired by the consciousness of its liability to insult. It is notorious that the numerical inferiority of our land armaments and the deserted condition of our ports, in December and January last, had a good deal to do with the unworthy tone in which Lord John Russell and his colleagues defended Louis Napoleon against the well-founded censures of the preen. It is because Lord Hardinge possesses re markable qualifications for preventing the recurrence of :such a state of things, so far as the Horse Guards are concerned, that we rejoice at his appointment. No mere soldier would be equal to the task, fur within living memory the art of war has been revolutionised by scientific invention. But the new Commander-in- Chief is very far indeed from being a mere soldier. lie has filled a variety of civil offices with high credit. He has been successively Secretary for Ireland, Secretary at War, Governor-General of India, and Master- General of the Ordnance. Ha was also, as a correspondent h as rem i n d e d us, specially charg e d with the defence of Ireland in the memorable spring of 1848 —so that, in one capacity or another, he has had the benefit of a larger amount of instructive and available experience than perhaps ever fell to the lot of any one c o ie f nc th y e ; illustrious captain whom he immediately succeeds. No man living is more of his predecessors, impressed with the paramount e that no timed diffideanocznoarllatnhyatin in a condition to uphold its well-earned reputation under all imaginable circumstances, whether as regards arms, importance of placing n t i h t u h e m ß t b h er e r it s i s : i un due wish to save the Premier from embarrassment or to spare -the -Chancellor of the Exchequer's surplus, e a q n u d ip w m e e h n o t p , British g r l general armye n exceptioner a l efficiency him lies to carry out his carefully matured schemes will prevent Lord Harding's, from of military improvement. It were a libel on the nation to suppose that, because it very properly insists on having money's worth for its money, it would shrink from any amount of strictly needful expen diture, when its honour or its safety is at stake ; and if mistaken notions of economy have left our national defences disgracefully incomplete, this is mainly owing to short-sighted or selfish politicians who have been over-anxious to curry popular favour. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., has been officially appointed Superintendent of her Majesty's Dockyard, Portsmouth, vice Rear-Admiral Prescott, C.B. The latter gallant admiral strikes his flag this evening at sunset, and the former hoists his flag (blue at the mizen) to-morrow morning. As we have stated, Paymaster Ince, who served as secretary to Rear-Admiral Fanshawe when Comman der-in-Chief on the coast of Africa, will occupy the same office at Portsmouth Dockyard. In announcing the promotion of Captain Tarleton, of the Fox, 43, at Rangoon, yesterday, the services of Commander Tattnall were appended, instead of those of Captain Tarleton. The latter gallant officer pasaed his examination in 1830; obtained his first com mission Sept. 22, 1835 ; and was subsequently ap pointed, Feb. 2, 1836, as supernumerary lieutenant, to the Caledonian, 120, flagship of Sir Josias Rowley, in the Mediterranean ; April 1, follow ing, to the Favourite, 18, Captain George Rodney Mundy, on the same station ; April 19, 1837, to the Ringdove, 16, Captains Horatio Stopford Nixon and Hon. Keith Stewart, with whom he served in North America and the West Indies until the close of 1841 ; Feb. 5, 1842, as senior, to the Carysfort, 26, Captain Lord George Paulet, fitting for the Pacific, whence he returned to England, and was paid off in June, 1845 ; and Dec. 2, 1845, to the Endymion, 44, Capt. George Robert Lambert, in which ship he again sailed for the North America and West India sta- tion. He attained his present rank Nov. 9, 1846; and since Nov. 23, 1848, has been employed as second captain in the Vengeance, 84; and in the Fox, 42. — Herald. It was Commander John Nepean, on the reserved half-pay list, who died last week. He entered the navy March 3, 1798, as first-class volunteer on board the Caton. He was promoted to the rank of lieu tenant September 25, 1806, and next in succession appointed to the Raven sloop, Captain James Grant; Bellerophon, 74; Humber; laiperieuse, 38 ; and in 1811, to the regulating service, which he left in 1814. While belonging to the Raven he was wounded in her boats in au attack upon a privateer, and when in the Imperieuse, 1809, he assisted at the destruction of a fort in the river Scheldt, took part in the operations connected with the siege of Flushing, and was a second time wounded in an affair with five Dutch schuyts near South Beveland. His last appointments were—April 26, 1823, to the Water Guard, in which service he continued, we believe, but a short period; Oct. 28, 1841, to the post (which he retained until the close of 1843) of Admiralty agent on board a contract mail steam vessel ; and Jan. 4 and May 22, 1845, to the San Josef, 110, and Caledonia, 120, both commanded by Captain Manley Hall Dixon, at Devonport. Niger screw-steam sloop, Commander Heath, is nearly completed and ready for sea. She went along side Portsmouth yard yesterday, got up steam to try her engines. Philomel, 8, has had her defects made good at Devonport, and she is now ready for commi s sio n. She was surveyed by Commodore Seymour on Monday previous to her being reported to their Lordships. Rolla, 6, apprentices tender, Lieutenant Com mander Fenwick, weighed from Spithead, and pro ceeded outside the Nab for exercise yesterday. The compasses of the Simoom screw troop ship, Captain Kingoome, have been again adjusted at the moorings off the King's-stairs, Portsmouth. Sinbad lighter sailed from Portsmouth yesterday, with stores for the eastern yards. MALTA, SEPT. 22.—The English fleet, when last heard of, was off Syra. The Arethusa frigate from Lisbon, arrived in port on the 16th inst. at half-past three A.M. At that early hour she saluted the Admiral, an act which has called forth much reprehension, and has caused her to be sent off to join the fleet. At eight she saluted again, but with fewer guns than Admiral Harvey was heard lgrain.iia entitled to. o f o f r Ta t uhnne accident, e still accident el i clings took ktnoopttlhatech place ?afutur full al wind quarter ntaedrnt Weet light. haveropast aist tß just hte belli, from Marianopoli to Cork or Falmouth, would seem that, on the 10th, being in the vicinity 01 Sapienza, she ran into the Austrian ship Padre Mime with A.M. ; the weather was calm and the vessels showed lights.

Having inspected the chief objects of interest at the port they returned to town by the Brighton Railway in the afternoon. While on board the Victory the Prussian flag was hoisted at the fore and saluted with 15 guns. PLYMOUTH, Sere% 29.—Yesterday morning, at half-past 2 o'clock, as two men were returning from fishing, they discovered fire on board the Government lighter Camel, then moored to a buoy off the Devon port Dockyard, in Hatuoaze. They immediately hailed the watch on board the sheer hulk, who sig. nalised the fact, when Commodore Superintendent Seymour, Mr. Mills, master-attendant, and Lieu. tenant Williams, the chief of police, were soon in at. tendance, and the hose from the jetty were conveyed to the lighter. Boats from the ships in commission arrived shortly after, and towed the Camel to the west mud, when the fire was entirely extinguished. During the day she was warped ashore in the yard, to have her stores discharged. There was no one on board the:lighter when the fire was discovered. Her boe I was found in Mutton Cove. An investigation before Commander Seymour took place in the course of the day, when it appeared that the mate went ashore a t half-past 5 the previous evening, leaving two shi p" keepers in charge, and that subsequently one of these, Carn, also went ashore, being unwell : he is in cus. tody, the other cannot be found. It is very singular that the fire on board the Camel was discovered th( same day and month, the same hour, and almost al, APPOINTMENTS.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—Without scarcely a pre monitary notice, the winter seems fairly to have set in at this side of the Channel. Yesterday morning the wind changed to a north-easterly point, and at noon commenced one of the heaviest and most inces sant falls of rain that has take❑ place for several years past. It came down in a complete cataract, accom pied by a full gale of wind, which lasted throughout the rest of the day and the whole of last night. This morning the weather is, if possible, even more severe. All the inland mails were overdue at the Post-office by nearly two hours, and the delivery of letters and papers will be consequently greatly delayed to-day. The streets are flooded by the: continous rains, and nothing can be more dismal than the prospect out of doors. A correspondent of the Freeman thus describes the effects of the storm at Kingstown yesterday evening " 7 O'clock, P.M.—While I am now writing the sea presents to the eye of those who may not have witnessed a similar Lune a grand but awful sight, the waves roll ing, in with tremendous fury, and, as far as the eye can reach, presents 01:13 sheet of foam. In the distance, towards Dalkey Sound, I can distinctly perceive the spray breaking over the high laud in that locality. The railway steamer from Holyhead will, I am afraid, en counter its full fury; but, from what I know of these vess,ls, I am well anti fi d their s teaming and sailing qualities will enable the Scotia now on her passage, to reach the harbour in safety. " 10 o'clock, P. m.-13urometer ranges from 29 to 29.5. The gale still rages with unabated fury—the vessels in harbour making for its eastern portion to secure them from the terrific blast, and a wicked sea tumbling in. The back of the east pier presents at this moment st grand scene—the waves rolling bang over it, and descend ing on the promenade with a noise equalling thunder. The railway steamer not yet in sight. The parties on shore connected with her aro now throwing up rockets, as a signal that it is altogether impossible to come along side the jetty—even to land at the Wolf is a question. In this case she must come to au anchor, and land her passengers in her boats—a tedious but necessary service. 11 o'clock—Frightful sea in the harbour. Mercury falling. A steamer has made her apperrance in the har bourher—n (wes toboat side) ,could but near the it partiesam afraid onsho shrede has e a n s o g t o r t e i ac nt la o collision with the small craft at anchor there; it is im possible to discern her, but it is supposed she has steamed out again. The waves—regular waves —crossing bang over the east pier, and tho wind shifting continually, throw a heavy and dangerous sea on the jetty. Blue lights outside—evidently, from their repetition, some vessel in distress; but in such a sea succour is next to an impossibility. ;‘ Half-past 11—Gale still on the increase . . morning, as blue lights are appear ance since.

TIIE CAMBR IDGE FORGERY CASE.—The prisoner Robert Gilbert, who was remanded on Friday last on the charge of forging the name of James Kelley, of Shepton Mallet, Somerset, to a banker's draft, was again brought up for further examination on Tuesday. The evidence of the father who obtained the 1001. bill, the brother Robert who forwarded it, addressed to J. Kelley, at Mr. Gilbert's, Hills road, Cambridge, and the cashier of the branch bank here was taken, and the charge preferred against the prisoner was thoroughly substantiated. The prisoner declined making any ent stateln , am' • his solicitor reserved his defence for another tribunal. Gilbert was then committed to take his trial at the next assizes, and the magistrates refused to admit him to bail. FOREIGN CATTLE.—The importations of cattle from the continental States of Europe have for several weeks past been of a very extensive character. The total arrivals of foreign cattle into the port of London alone, indepen dently of those at the outports, amounted last week to con siderably more than 13,000 head of stock of all kinds. Of these there were about 11,00 0 sheep, besides about 2,0 00 head of horned cattle, and a proportionate quantity of altar descriptions of stock. The great supplies of sheep are front Holland, which also exports large numbers of horned stock and other cattle, the increase in the number of oxen and 1 cow s being caused by the large and important itrriVall fr Denwark and the Hanseatic states. - ;~ :~ ~, a.
