SHEBBNESI;, SEPT. 29.-1-ler Majesty's paddle wheel steam-vessel Wildfire, tender to the Waterloo, 120, Mr. Brockman, second master, commanding, has returned from n Heligoland. During jher voyage to this port she t mcountered very boisterous weather. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Barracouta is under going a thorough refit. She made the voyage from Spithead to the an chorage off Funchal, Madeira, a distance of 1,330 in 5i days, her average speed being 92 knots, the engines working the first two days on the first grade, and subsequently on th e 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 passage from Madeir a to Lisbon, a distance of 530 miles, was very nearly 101 knots. She accomplished the voyage from Lisbon to Spithead in 100 hours, which, as the distance between these anchorages is 860 miles, gives en hourly averag e 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 3f 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 8 to 9f knots per hour; but when light and nearly out of coal it is from 10 to 10f knots ; and with a strong breeze in her favour she attains to more than 11 knots. The unfortunate seamen 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. ' ; SEPTEMBER 30, 1852.

The Directors of the Chiriqui Road Company have the satisfaction to state to their shareholders and the public, that in reference to the light and title of territory through which the road is to run, and of which goy 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 nsay 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 Rocas 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 Toro (see Gazette, July 17th) for 1840-1841, the year wherein the Costa Rica advocates have told us that the New Granadian Government had no establishments or authority of any kind there.

Hughes, Kearsey, and Mastennan, London. BaoaEas.-111e - ssrs . . 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 invested, and will, it is confidently expected; justify the allowance of a moderate rate of interest to the depositors. The greatittecess whlelahae atteydecLUAnnetations iv i ea . , anklng thtsalintrY', connected 'the East Indies, and of the,,well•coriducted 1 !ellimalcadisrithe d ate. sidenciec, and the encouragement given to theemploymerit of capital' 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 further increased by the new lines of railway now in progress on the conti nent of Europe and in Egypt, and by the agency of the electric and sub-marine telegraphs about to be established by powerful companies already in operation. Arrs'ingements are in progress to secure to this Company the co operation and support of some of the largest native merchants of India, which wilt 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 2,000,0004 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. 4- NEWMARKET. A special meeting of this company was held yea 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 th em o f 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 bad 3/. paid on them, and others had nothing paid, having, it appeared, .been subscribed for no minally. _ A NOFRIETOR, wished to know whether the hol ders could not be proceeded against for the recovery of the calls due. The CEIAIRMAN 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 a l so one forfeiting and merging certain 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 co mpany 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.

The mill was working double shifts, and at six o'clock on Tuesday mornhig the engine was stopped to allow the fire to be cleared. The fireman, James Robinson, had cleared out the . " searles," and the miller was just about setting the engine away agai n , w h en the boiler e x pl o d e d w ith gre at violence. The boiler-house, warehouse, and engine-house 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 to 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. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, before us. But Lord John Russell does not repeat it.

Admitti ng suc h f ears to be exaggerated, it is not the less true that they derive strength from the incomplete state of our naval and military preparations; 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 th e we ll-f oun d e d censures o f the press. It is because Lord H ar di nge possesses re markable qualifications for pr event i ng t h e recurrence of such a state of things, so far as the Horse G uar d s are concerned, that we rejoice at his app o i n t men t. N o mere soldier would be equal to the task, f o r w ithi n 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. He 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- G enera l of the Ordnance. He was also, a s a correspondent has reminded us, specially charged with the d e f ence of Ireland in the memora b le spring of 1848 —so th at, in one capacity or anot h er, he has had the benefit o f a larger amount of instructive and available experience than perhaps ever fell to the lot of any one of his pred ecessors, with the single exception of the illustrious capt a i n whom he immediately succeeds. No man livi ng is more impr e ssed with the paramount importance of placing. the British army in a condition to uphold its we l l-earned reputation under all imaginable circ umstances, whether as regards arms, equipment, dis c ipli ne , numbers, or general efficiency; and we hope that no ill-ti med diffidence nor any un due wish to save th e P rem i er from ' emb a rr a ssment or to spare the Ch ance ll or o f t h e Exchequer's surplus, will prevent Lord H ar di nge f rom doing all that in him lies to carry out his carefully matured schemes of military improvement. It were a libel on the nation to suppose that, because it very properly i ns i sts 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 ; an d if mistaken notions of economy have left our national defences disgracefully incomplete, this is mai n l y owing to short-sight e d or se lfi s h politicians who have been over-anxious to curry popular favour.

In announcing the promotion of Captain Tarleton, of the Fox, 42, at Rangoon, yesterday, the services of Commander Tattnall were appended, instead of those of Captain Tarleton. The latter gallant officer passed 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 Riogdove, 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; Irnperieuse, 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 an attack upon a privateer, and when in the Imperieuse, 1809, ha 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 Suuth 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 bad her defects made good at Devonport, and she is now ready for commission. 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 Simooni 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 easter❑ 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 entitled to. Misfortune still clings to the Fury. We hare just heard of an accident, but not the full extent of it. It would seem that, on the 10th, being in the vicinity of Sapienza, she ran into the Austrian ship Padre Atfi na , belli, from Marianopoli to Cork or Falmouth, with grain. The accident took place at a quarter past one A.M. ; the weather was calm and the wind light. Both vessels showed lights. The captain of the Padre Mirabelli says the Fury has received much damage. His own vessel is very much injured. News of the loss of the Maltese brig Zeituo, Azzopardi master, on the Rabbit Island near Tenedos, has reached this; crew saved. She was on her pas sage to the Danube, with a cargo of mineral salt from Girgenti. IORTSMOUTII, SEPT. 29.--The Temple, 21, Uapt. James Hope, sailed yesterday for Woolwich, to be paid off. The Sidon, 22, advanced steam•frigate, was taken out of harbour yesterday, for a trial at Stokes Bay, by Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., of the Blenheim. Her engi nes worked wel l , an d she returned to ordi nary after the trial. The Furious, 16, steam-frigate, has been put out of commission, and Lieut. Cunningham and his men have returned to the Blenheim. The Count and Countess Bernstorff visited this dockyard to-day, over which they were escorted by Flag-Lieutenant Pasley.. They also visited the Vic tory, the Commander-m-Chief's barge being placed at their service to visit the flag-ship. The Count,who is a distinguished Prussian diplomatist, has been Am bassador from the Court of Prussia to that of Austria and Bavaria. 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 1.5 guns. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 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 Elamoaze. They immediately hailed the watch on board the sheer hulk, who sig nalised the fact, when Commodore Superintendent Seymour, Mr. Mille, 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 boat 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 at half-past .5 the previous evening, leaving two ship 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 the sloe day ttud month, _the same hour, And Almost the APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 29.—Lieutenants Armine Wodehouse (1845) and William Mould (1842), recently first lieutenant of the Amazon on the East Indies station, have been appointed to study steam at the factory at Woolwich dockyard.

Ath erton, chief engineer, being absent on leave, and their examinations being highly creditable to them they received their certificates ac cordingly. 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 taken place for several years past. It came down in a complete cataract, scum.. 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 pessible, even more severe. All the inland mails were overdue at the Post-office by nearly two hours, and the delivery of letters and papers Isill 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 scene a grand but awful sight, the waves roll ing in with tremendous fury, and, as far as the eye can reach, presents ono sheet. of foam. Iu the distance, towards Dalkey Sound, I can distinctly perceive the spray breaking over the high land in that locality. The railway steamer from H lyhead will, I-am afraid, en counter its full fury; but, from what I know of these vessel•, I am well eatitti, d their steaming and sailing qualities will enable the Scotia now on her passage, to reach the harbour in safety. " 10 o'clock, P.M.—Barometer ranges from 29 to 29 5. The gale still rages with unabated fury—the vessels in harb:air making for its eastern portion to secure them from the terrific blast,. and a wick: d sea tumbling ie. The back of the east pier presents at this moment a grand scene—the waves rolling bang over it, and descend ing on the promenade with a noise (quailing Limn& T. The railway steamer not yet in sight. The parties on shore connected with her are now throwieg 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 roust come to an 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 bour (west side), hut the parties on abore dare not reach her—no boat could near it. lam afraid she has got into 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 the 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. The steamer I have before alluded to has not made its appear ance since. I am afraid we shall have bad news in the morning, as blue lights are still burning /south of the Kish Light. Landing now at the Wolf impossible. "12 o'clock—The Scotia has just arrived. All the passengers came on shore safe. She could not land at any of the jetties; had to cast anchor in the harbour. Storm stilt on the increase." DEATH OF TUE BISHOP OF MEATU.— Saunders of this morning announces the death of the Most Reve rend Thomas Stewart Townsend, Lord Bishop of Meath. The event took place at Malaga on the 16'h inst. The deceased was consecrated in 1850, in the room of Dr. Stopford, who died on the 17th of Sep tember, in the same year. Dr. Townsend, who was in the prime of life, has left a young and numerous family. By his death the system of national educa tion has lost an earnest advocate. GOVERNMENT COMMISSION OF INQUlRT.—Yeater day the first sitting of a commission of inquiry, just issued by the Government, for the purpose of inquir ing into the present state of and manner of conducting public markets throughout the country, was held in Court-house of Dundalk. Mr. Hercules Robinson and Mr. John Macbeth are the commissioners. As the inquiry is instituted with a view to legislation, the official instructions state that the Government is par ticularly anxious to obtain from officers connected with the markets accurate yearly returns of all articles of agricultural produce sold therein during the yoar [ADYERTISEMENT.]—TH E ROYAL EXHIBITION: —A valuable, newly-invented, very small powerful waistcoat pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 11 miles distant ; they answer every purpose on the Race-course, at the Opera-houses ; country sce nery are in and ships are clearly seen at N to 14 miles; th e y valuable for shooting, deer stalking, yachting, to Sports men, Gentlemen, Gamekeepers, and Tourists.—Te be had at 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, observe, opposite the York-hotel.

THE CAMBRIDGE 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.

The prisoner d ec li ne d mak i ng any s t a tement, and 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 a 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 out ports, amounted last week to con siderably more than 13,000 head of stock of all kinds; Of these there were about 11,000 sheep, besides about . 2,000 . •' . . bead of horned cattle, and a proportionate quantity of OW .' - descriptions of stock. The great supplies of sheep are from Holland, which also exports large numbers of horned stock and other cattle, the increase in the number of oxen and cows being caused by the large and important arrivals freak Denmark and the Hanseatic states. city's led iP f this 28•"" troll ; as 6d. ere in ,f pot one as a- bag 'bird; Is Su od Od Od , 3 Od n re' lorted very trans -84-- SU,- - 16 p• burr a alio 30 1 TY d ypit be Baps Old it case, once ~ the ,hire► P ark, the enrY >, 1 2 !
