Sensible that the season has arrived when love and friendship give their tangible testimonials, MECHI has taken care to provide an abendance of objects for tasteful selection. None need deny themselves the luxury of giving, for the most in expensive as well as the most costly articles are to be found at his Repository of Utilities and Elegances, 4, LEA.DENHALL-STREET, near the India House. England has always been renowned for its hearty Christmas libe rality, while " Le jour de l'an" of our lively neighbours the French is equally consecrated the gifts of affection. MECHI invites a visit from the natives of all countries to his emporium, where they may be sure of putting their kind intentions into an acceptable shape. In his Eiegsnt Show-Rooms are displayed to the greatest ad vantige,. a superb stock of Ladies' and Gentlemen's dressing cases, work-boxes, tea-trays, work-tables, chess-tables, tea-caddies, card-cases, &c. Those who desira to make really useful pre sents will find in the general department the best table cutlery, scis sors, thimbles, penknives, writing-desks, ivory and other hair brushes and combs, and a variety of goods adapted to every exigency. Also bagatelle-tables, affording a charming amusement on a wintry or wet day. 4, Leadenhall-street. The rates hare selected are those a do p ted b y the English and C ambrian 4, Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low r ates of premium, and professedly for the lowe r and midd:ing classes. Most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish 7ittitable and the Globe, these rates would be muc h hi g her. In the ruler of 101. 75. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would the rate to insure 5001 . at 20 years of a g e. In the latter 8/. 13s 4d., 4 ! r h Insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of e, DEPOSIT system. ,T Money laid out at compound inte r e st DOUBLES ITSELF ever y four 'e,.ll years. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person ruder the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow- I N advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure i „ . , l arger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. rulY. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive rl this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, ~ t his times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event Of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, g jef the same value as it was, though he cease his c urrent p a y ments tor any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets n o t hing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the a mount of his policy he can do so at pleasure. He can, at any tim e, Y giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 1/ up to the hole amount of his previo us p a y ments and with interest. After he 2 4 withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three . 7 ears, or any time afterwards . rai s e his policy to a gre ater or even its former amount ; and by th is s y stem he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the b argain of having a fund t o fl y to in case of necessit y , the same as n a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no such thing, but his policy at once la p ses or is cancelled the moment "c ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any 'kind to fly to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his , tore fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too strikingstn to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system ace which can be , unive rsa lly recognized and adopted when the.principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a b Ink because it allows a fair rate Of interest in case of withdrawal. and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITTI THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOS* system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE BRANCH. To those who prefer this branch Policies are granted from 201. to 4 ,000 f, on every known principle thereof. Lives in all but the worst stages of disease, and such as have been • rejected by other Offices, are taken at rates equivalent to the parti cular disease. Loans from 50/. and upwards granted on every kind of security, real or personal, on the most equitable terms to the borrower Annuities of every description granted on very favourable terms. Non-forfeiture of a Policy —ln case of inability to pay the currant Premiums, the Directors will either purchase the Policy at a fair market value, or give a new one in lieu thereof, less 5 per cent., inte rest corr'sponding in amount to the whole of the previous payments Which have been made.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man uckal, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, ally other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. he results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the Personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egaily qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un- Givided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the tre atment of the diseases incidental o the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and Intimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care rin, in instance, meet with that delicate he consideration and nviolableevery secrecy which are so req uisite in e treatment of these cares.

Graham, Hofmann, Musprate,Watson, Budd, Marshall, Hall, Travers, Fergusson, Rowe. Vivian, Heygate, Leman, A mold, Evans, Formby, Petrie, Macrorie, Vose, Tufnell, Hunter, Davies, Jones. Senior, Maclaren,Macaulay, Gray. Teevan, Hill, Hayward, Harri son, Pepper, Inman, Sir Charles Clarke, the Sanatn'y Commissioner of " The Lancet," &c. &c. &c. (many of them after careful analyses, and all of them after long experience,) having been pronounced in favour of the healthful and invigorating qualities, as well as the highly dietetic properties of their rale and Bitter Ales. Messrs. Allsopp have little more to do than to place, once for all, before the public, in a brief form, the accredited results of the late invest gations and recorded experience of those indisputable authorities. Messrs. Al'sopp and Son's Pale or Bitter Ales have been thus un ques tenably vouched to be ' a very agreeable and efficient tonic, as a igng,eenral beverage both f the invalid and the robusttend i from the pure and or wholesome nature of the Ingredients em ployed, the moderate proportion of alcohol present, and the very considerable quantity of aromatic anodyne bitter derived from hors alone, which they contain, to preserve the tone and vigour of the stomach, and to conduce to the restoration of that organ when in a state of weakness, debility, or irritability." In all cases in which Malt Liquors are suitable, none meet the Cie sired effect more certainly, none are prescribed with more confidence by the Faculty. " The careful manner in which the fermentation is conducted, causes them to assimilate to Foreign Wines more than the ordinary ales of this country ; and on this account they do not occasion that acidity of stomach created by the less perfectly fer mented ales." " These Bitter Beers differ from all other prepara tions of malt, In containing a smaller amount of extractive matter, thus being less viscid and slccharine, and consequently more easy of digestion. They resemble, indee , l, from their lightness, a Wine of Malt rather than an ordinary fermented infusion ; and it Is very sa tisf dory to find that a beverage of such general consumption is en tirely free from every kind of impurity." Fortified by such opinions, expressed in the above tenns,verbatim, by the most eminent authorities, Messrs Allsop and Sons do not feel themselves called upon to go into any further vindication of their justly popular beverage, from the aspersions of malicious and inte rested parties ; but content themselves by announcing that they have commenced supplies from the Brewing of this Season.

Ild. HOPES OF THE OPPOSITION. (From the Morning Herald.) Lord Derby's Administration having been over thrown by the most unprincipled coalition recorded in history, and the faction having, for a time, suc ceeded in installing themselves into office, we think it incumbent upon us to state the course this jour nal intends pursuing under present circumstances. The Morning Herald has, ever since it has been under its present management, feebly perhaps, but 4honestly and assiduously, given its suppprt to the maintenance of the Altar, the Throne, and the Constitution—to the cause - of law and order. The first principles of government, indeed the origin of all government, was the protection of property, and we have always insisted that the poor man has as much right to have his property protected, and that . . . property is his labour, as the rich man who has ac quired wealth. We are, therefore, what is vulgarly called " Protectionists," but, although this word has for party purposes been abused, and we are stigmatised as " monopolists," the name " Protec tion" merely means that the native producer should have security afforded him by the State to prevent the foreigner underselling him in his own markets ; and we hold that it is the first duty of every states man to afford this protection. Such, we believe, are the opinions held by all Protectionists, or Conser- vatives, as they used to be called ; and such, we be lieve, were the opinions of the late Sir R. Peel, the head of the great Country Party, even so late as 1845 ; but, the following year, either from timidity or from some other cause, which has never been satisfactorily explained, the right honourable baronet , suddenly and unaccountably turned round, eat up the opinions he had held (hiring the course of a long political life, and joined the Manchester school in supporting " low prices." This treach erous conduct on the part of their leader neces sarily engendered a feeling of distrust amongst Conservatives generally, and divided that great party into sections ; and so affairs remained for a considerable time, until Lord Derby, then Lord Stanley, was generally adopted as a leader ; and this important result was, we do not hesitate to assert, mainly achieved by the untiring efforts of this journal, aided by our talented evening con temporary the Standard. Lord John Russell's Cabinet having fallen to pieces, owing to its inter nal weakness and acknowledged dissensions, Lord Derby was called upon by the Queen to form a Ministry, and immediately upon his assuming the reins of office, his lordship, in his place in Parlia ment, stated that he had not formed his Cabinet upon the question of whether free trade was or was not to be continued—that his own private opinion remained unchanged—but that neither he nor any other Minister could repeal an act of the Legislature without being supported by an un doubted majority of the people—that public opi nion could only be tested by a dissolution of Par liament—that he would make this appeal to the constituencies at the earliest possible moment, and by the result of that appeal he would decide upon the course he would pursue as regarded that great question ; but his lord ship also added, that there were other great constitutional questions of quite as much im portance as whether prices should be low—viz., whether the Monarchy should be maintained against the machinations of the Manchester demo crats, and the Protestant religion .be upheld against the wily proceedings of the Pope and his adherents in the United Kingdom. A new Parliament having been elected, and it being evident a sufficient ma jority had not been returned that would enable Lord Derby to repeal the act of 1846, his lordship at once stated that he bowed to the constitutionally expressed opinion of the country, and accepted the principle of unrestricted competition—and, in say ing so, no honest or sensible man ever dreamed of accusing him of inconsistency or tergiversation— but at the same time he thought it only fair that such relief should be afforded to those parties who had suffered by the adoption of the new system as circumstances would admit of. In this spirit the budget was brought forward ; the principle of direct taxation was extended, although the odious income tax was modified, and a repeal of such indirect taxes as it appeared to the Ministry could be safely recommended without injury to the pub lic credit was proposed, and upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer's speech becoming known great satisfaction was expressed, not only by almost all the free trade and opposition journals, but by our principal bankers and commercial men. The hun gry Whigs seeing, then, that there was every pro bability of the budget being carried, suggested a coalition with a few disappointed politicians, followers of the late Sir R. Peel—falsely calling themselves Conservatives, and in the teeth of their professions on the hustings that they would not factiously oppose Lord Derby's Govern ment, these gentlemen have consented to join a party with whom they are at variance upon almost every great .question, and, to the infinite dis g ust of all thinking men, have succeeded in overthrowing the Cabot ; the result of all which is, that we have now a Ministry with Lord Aber deen at its head, who stated in his place in the House of Lords only a few months since that he agreed with Lord Derby upon all - questions save that of free trade, sitting at the same council table with Sir W. Molesworth, who is pledged to support the ballot ; we have again, the same noble lord, for many years the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in the Tory Administration, sitting at the same table with his old antagonist Lord Palmerston, Foreign Secretary of the Whigs for a great period of his political career ; and; again, we have Sir James Graham, tne apologist and supporter of the Popes brass band, sitting at the same table with Lord John Russell, the writer of the m celebrOed Durham letter, and the author of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill ! Can such a Jim Crow Cabinet last ? We say it cannot. Go where you will the same feel ing exists. Ask the principal bankers and mer chants of the City, and they will tell you that they deeply regret the retirement of Lord Derby. Go to the West-end clubs and into private circles, and people give Lord Aberdeen's Ministry two month's existence. We are therefore prepared to bide our time, and we recommend to the Conser vative party to stick together as one man—to place themselves under the guidance of the same leaders who have lately exerted themselves to the utmost of their power, andinnder circumstances of great difficulty, to _advance the principles they have so much at heart—to accept from the motley crew now at the head of aftaits all they' can get ; but we say, at the same time--trust them not—they are wolves in sheep's clothing. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND. —A. reward of 3001. has been offered by the Bank of England for the recovery of 4,9301., stolen from one of their clerks on the 23rd instant, in notes for 1,0001. (of which there were three), 501. and 301. The numbers of the notes are known at the Bank. THE COMMON LODGING-HOUSES. - Yesterday was printed, by order of the House of Lords, in a parlia mentary paper, a report made by Captain Hay, one of the police commissioners, to the late Home Secretary, on the operation of the Common Lodging-house Act. The report contains a good deal of information for amending and improving the act now in force. There are at present under police inspection upwards of 3,300 persons keeping common lodging-houses, accommodating nearly 50,000 nightly lodgers. The lodging-houses re gistered are so widely spreajl in the metropolitan police district that the area perambulated weekly by the in specting police sergeants in visiting them exceeds 810 miles. From September, 1851, to November last, the number of keepers served with notices to register was 3,326, of which only 974 were approved and registered. 55,575 visits were made to the houses where notices had been served. About 45,861 persons occupied the houses. There had been 67 cases of fever and sickness dealt with by the police. Already the act has had a beneficial effect on the poor creatures frequenting the places, and also as a sanitary precaution. Much is still required to be done, and it is anticipated that if the suggestions of the police commissioner now made are adopted, the places will be greatly improved, and, in case of fever, contagion prevented.

This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent, nour;sbing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many cases, all kinds of medi..ines. It is particularly useful in confined habit of body, as also in diarrhoea, bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys and bladder, such as stone or gravel; inflammatory irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and hemorrhoids. This really invaluable remedy is employed with the most satisfactory result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary com plaints, where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pul monary and bronchial consumption, in which it counteracts effectually the troublesome cough ; and I am enabled with perfect truth to ex press the conviction, that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to the cure of incipient hectic complaints a WURZEB, nd consumption.

Vice-Admiral of the White, Sir Thos. John Cochrane, 1i.C:8., the newly-appointed Coinmander-in-Chief of this port, arrived here yesterday afternoon, and hoisted his flag at the fore on board the Victory in this harbour ; this morning, at nine, the usual salutes were exchanged, and the ships in commission under the chief command changed their ensigns from blue to white. " O'Byrne's Naval Biography" furnishes the following epitome of the sea services of the new Port Admiral :-4" Sir Thos. Cochrane was born in 1789 ; is eldest son of Admiral of the White the Hon. Sir Alexander Forester Inglis Coch rane, G.C.8., by Maria, daughter of David Shaw, Esq., and widow of Captain Sir Jacob Wheate, RN., nephew of the Hon. Major Charles Cochrane, A.D.C. to Lord Cornwallis, who was slain in the first American war (18th October, 1781) ; first cousin of Admiral the present Earl of Dundonald ; and brother-in-law of the late Rear-Ad miral Sir Edward Thomas Troubridge,• and of Rear-Admiral Henry William Bruce. This officer en tered the navy on the 15th of June, 1796, as first class volunteer, on board the Thetis, 42, commanded by his father, with whom he served on the North American station until 1798. In 1800 he rejoined Captain Coch rane in the Ajax, 80 ; and during that and the fol lowing year he attended, as midshipman, the expedi tions against Quiberon, Belleisle, Ferrol, and Egypt. From April, 1803, until the 14th of June, 1805, we next find him serving under his father's flag in the Northumberland, 74, on the Irish station and off the north coast of Spain, and then appointed to a lieutenancy in the Jason, 32, Captain William Champain, stationed in the West Indies, On the 24th of September follow ing he was promoted to the command of the Nimrod sloop of war, and on January the 23d, 1806, he was re moved from the Melville to the acting-captaincy of the Jason, 32, his ' commission for which bears date of the 23d of April, 1806. Being off the coast of _Surinam,- he took, on the 27th of January, 1307, La Favourite, French National ship, mounting 16 long 6's and 13 12-pounder carronades, with a complement of 150 men ; and in December following he assisted in reducing the Danish West India Islands. His next appointment was 25th October, 1808, to the Ethalion, 38, in which ship he shortly afterwards had a slight encounter with the French 40-gun frigate Amphitrite, and creditably served at the capture of Martinique and the Saintes in 1809. Having been on half-pay for two years, Captain Cochrane, on the 31st of August, 1812, obtained com mand of the Surprise, 38, and continuing in that frigate until August, 1815, captured, 16th January, 1813, the Decatur, American privateer, of 12 guns, and 82 men, and was in the Chesapeake during the attack on Washington and Baltimore, and in the operations on the coast of Georgia. While subse quently commanding the Forte, 44, from June 28, 1820, until the close of 1824, he served on the Halifax and West India stations, accompanied George IV. to Scot land, and brought home a large amount of specie from Vera Cruz and the Havannah. He attained the rank of Rear-Admiral 23d November, 1841, and on the 21st July, 1842, hoisted his flag in the Agincourt, 72, as second in command on the East India station, where, from the return home of Sir William Parker in 1845 to 1847, he held the chief direction of naval affairs. The Rear-Admiral appears during that period to have avenged in a very condign manner a breach of faith made, in re gard to 'the slave trade by some of the Borneo chiefs. Sir Thomas Cochrane was knighted May 29, 1812, as proxy for his father at his installation as a K.B. ; and was nominated a C. 8., April 18, 1839. He received April 16, 1825, the appointment of Governor and Com mander-in-Chief of the Island of Newfoundland and its dependencies, which he continued to hold for several years ; and in 1839 he was returned to Parliament for the borough of Ipswich. The Rear-Admiral married January 6, 1812 Matilda Ross Wishart, eldest daughter of the late `Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Ross. by whom (who died in 1836) he had issue two sons and two daughters. Of the former, the second, Charles Stuart, is an officer in the army. The Dvina, Russian corvette, Captain Besseraysky, which left Spithead on Thursday, to prosecute her voyage, put back to-day from the violence of the weather. The Termagant, 24, Captain Giffard, steamed into harbour this afternoon from Spithead. The Duke of Wellington, 131, has been again docked to further her fittings. A large proportion of her ma chinery has been put on board, and her huge boilers will be landed on Wednesday. The London, 90, Captain Mundy, has been brought into No. 2 dock to-day to have her copper cleaned, &c. The Blenheim, 60, steam-guardship, Captain W. H. Henderson, hauled out of dock to the fitting-basin to-day, having had her leaks stopped. Simoom, iron steam-frigate, hauled into the berth va cated by the Duke of Wellington, and is landing ma chinery for the above-named ship. Mr. Triphook, secretary to the late lamented Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, retains office as secretary to the new commander in chief. ...... _ Her Majesty's ships Fury, Phaeton, Vengeance, Ar rogant, Encounter, Prince Regent, Leander, and Rodney, are at Spithead. At the Motherbank and St. Helen's - there are upwards of 140 sail of merchantmen. PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY, 9 P.M. The Dido was towed out of harbour to-day by the Confiance steam vessel. The Dido is appointed to sail for South America on the 6th of January. The Valorous will be put into dock on Wednesday to have her copper examined. The Vulture steamer being fully manned was placed at her moorings to-day. Commander Kennedy, chief of Coast Guard in this district, who was actively and effectively employed in January last in the relief of the second boat's crew of the Amazon, the unfortunate mail packet, has been exerting himself in relation to the wreck of the Ocean Queen. This officer made three unsuccessful attempts to-day to reach the great Mewstone, on the western side of which the two masts and part of the deck are visible. These attempts failed in consequence of the heavy swell. Cap tain Kennedy has secured the register, which states that the brig was built at Wells, Norfolk, in May, 1851, 206 tons register, and that Joseph William Hore became master May 10, 1852. Fourteen bodies were washed ashore—two, it is supposed, were passengers, and nine look like seamen ; two are mulattoes, and one is a negro. The Wanderer, supposed to be a bark from 300 to 400 tons, was totally lost. near Salcombe. SHEERNESS, DEO. 28.

A painful event has been mule known at Lloyd's, in relation to an alleged mutiny among a body of Chinese emigrants, on board the English ship Gertrude, when the master ordered his crew to fire on the people, of whom about seventeen were killed and wounded. For a long time numerous instances have come before the Government of improper emigratiOn being pursued in the China seas. The fearful case of mortality on board the Lady Montague, also the horrible scene of slaughter of the crews of the General Wood and the Victory, are doubtless fresh in the recollection of the public, resulting as they did from irregularities in the system of emigra tion—ill-treatment, ships badly provisioned, and other circumstances. Several months since, the Foreign-office sent out certain regulations to the English authorities at the various ports in those parts to stop these irregu larities, but from the last advices from Singapore it is evident they have not been attended to, otherwise the reader would have been spared the sad details subjoined. On the 28th of November last, the British barque Gertrude, of Belfast, commanded by Mr. John Camp bell, put into Singapore to seek advice, an affray having occurred on board between the crew and the passengers, of whom there were 340 Chinese emigrants for Cuba, called coolies. Two of the crew and 17 of the passen gers had been killed and wounded. In accordance with instructions of Dr. Bowring, the English Consul, Mr. D. T. Dumnan instituted an investi gation into the circumstances connected with the affray, the result of which, together with the depositions of the master and crew of the Gertrude, as well as those of the alleged ringleaders of the attack, and of many of the passengers, have been forwarded to the Government. We append an extract from the depositions so taken : —John Campbell deposed—l am master of the British barque Gertrude, 605 tons burthen, owned by Mr. Ward low, of Belfast. On the 13th of October, the ship sailed from Amoy for Havannah, having taken on board 350 pas sengers, Chinese emigrants (coolies) for Cuba. Nothing occurred to excite alarm till the 20th inst., when, at about half-past ten o'clock at night, a number of Chinese asked me to go below and see a sick man, I went below and was immediately surrounded by a number of them, and that instant I heard a yell on deck. Fancying all was not right, I jumped on the ladder to go on deck, but the emigrants laid hold of my feet, and my shoes came off. I sprang up, and on reaching the deck was struck on the forehead with, I think, an iron belaying pin, causing a wound. I supposed there might have been some 150 men round the hatchway altogether, but I cannot say positively, as the wound was bleeding very much, and 4r felt stunned. I made for the poop, fighting my way through them as well as I could. On reaching the poop I began to recover my senses. I saw a coolie armed with a boardino. pike ; he ran at me, I warded the thrust off, and grappled with him to get the pike, but, he being a stronc , man, I could not. I caught hold of and hurled him off the poop on to the main deck. At this time I had five of the crew on the poop with me ; they were all un armed, but we got our cutlasses from below handed up through the skylight. The coolies were at this moment trying to force their way on to the poop, but we repelled • them with the arms we had. The coolies then armed themselves with the iron belaying pins, pieces of wood, iron bolts, and stones. We were in ballast ; they broke open the hatch, and so got at the ballast, which is of stone. All these articles were thrown at us. Most of the crew escaped excepting myself. I was much hurt. I was speaking to one of the crew to bring a musket, when I received a blow from a stone, which brought me on my knees. The Chinese, seeing me down, set up a yell. I then resorted to fire-arms—we fired about ten times. The arms were handed up to us by the steward, and my wife loaded ; they were loaded by my wife and the steward. After firing, as above stated, the Chinese appeared to be giving way, by going forward, and others disappeared down below. At this period we were strengthened by the mate and three men, who had come from the forecastle, by getting up the rigging, and so on, until they got into the mizen rigging. The Chinese seeing this, ran aft, and fell on their knees, holding up their hands, as if begging us not to fire. About a dozen men did this. We stood by our arms until the Chinese handed us up the carpenter. I did not see the carpenter attacked, as there was a great crowd between us. He had been assailed by men who had armed themselves with his tools (hatchets, adzes, &c.). He was sadly cut about the head ; at the outbreak he was making a topmast studding-sail ;he died three hours afterwards. I think the attack lasted two hours, I mean until something like order was restored. Our men have kept the poop ever since. We have a galley aft, where food is cooked. The coolies pass us water, wood, rice, &c. There is no one on board who can interpret between the emigrants and the crew. We make ourselves understood by signs. I saw four Chinese thrown overboard ; three on the first day of the attack, and one on the next. I ascertained afterwards there were six wounded. There is a Chinese doctor on board, and he attended them. I made signs to have the ringleaders brought aft, and the Chinese themselves brought four men, and wanted me to hang them. They are now on board in irons. I declare I cannot take upon myself to point out any one or more persons who were engaged in this murderous attack. Captain Campbell added, that each Chinese passenger received 111 b .of rice, and my orders were to make it 111 b if 1.' 2 1b was not enough ; fish or beef, Ilb ; preserved vegetables ; water three quarts. During the gale I ordered fully one pound of biscuit each, but we did not serve it, or the other provisions, individually to each man, but to the different companies. I never heard any complaints, nor did the Chinese make any signs that they did not to have enough to eat. I did not hear any complaints whatever. The other depositions were that of Robert Campbell, the chief officer ; John Rendall, second mate ; Thomas Atkinson, a seaman ; and Archibald Macdowall. They confirm the statement of the master in all its particulars. None of them could explain the cause of attack, or any particular parties foremost in the affray. All along the passengers conducted themselves quietly, and obeyed the instructions of the captain when he had occasion to make signs to them. They paid 9/. 10s. for the passage to Havannah, consequently it was to the interest of the crew to seek after their care and comfort. The parties who fired on them were Captain Campbell and Atkinson the seaman ; the former fired five or six times, and the latter three or four each shot. The fire took effect, Atkinson admitting bringing down a passenger at each shot. Two were killed on the spot. None of the sea men could speak to the ringleaders, or what the men were contending for. Up to the moment of the out break they were quite peaceable. The depositions of the men who were given up by the passengers, and alleged as the ringleaders of the affray, exhibit a far different version of the said scene, and which is partly borne out by the statements of a number of the passengers. Tan Chye (one of the four prisoners) states—l arrived from Amoy in an European vessel on the 16th day of the 9th month (coriespondent with 28th October 1852.) We left on the 13th October, in all 350 men, all Hokein men. The captain bought us for 111- dols. each, from a Chinese. The captaln paid each of us on board the above sum. We signed a Taper to that effect. When we went below, the Chinese who brought us to the ship took away 114 dols. from us, saying that was for our provisions for the voyage. I don't know whether the captain knew this or not. We re ceived each a suit of clothes. The captain gave a shirt, a suit of clothing, including a waistcoat to each, and de -ducted for them. The agreement entered into was as follows :—The Chinese was to find us a ship to take us to a foreign country (I don't know where), to find us in clothes and provisions, and we were to serve in the foreign country as coolies, for eight years, and to receive four dols. per month ; at the expiration of which time we were to be allowed to return to our native country. I had a paper given to me, but during my sickness I lost it. I was satisfied with the agreement. After leaving Amoy we had bad weather, which lasted three days, during which time we could not cook, and the captain only gave us a biscuit a day, afid water twice. In fine weather we had rice, salt fish, and vegetables, but we had not enough to eat. We could have eaten double the quantity. We could not ask the captain for more. There was no one to speak to us. We had no one to interpret for us. I re collect the 7th of the 9th month (the 19th October).' We had a quarrel amongst ourselves, and began to fight and throw basins, &c., at each other. Some of these things struck the captain, and he thinking we were fighting against him, got muskets and fired into us, and shot four of our number dead. Two of the Chinese jumped overboard. The other men adhere to the deposition made by Tan Chye. It would appear that there was a general cry of want of food among the passengers, and tliat the quar rel arose from some misunderstading between different sects among them. About 80 of one country, Tang Mea, were fighting with 100 men belonging to Chuan Chue. The men had complained to the cook of th e scanty and indifferent character of the provisions. The passengers, in their statement, corroborAte the men's deposition, and affirm that, had the ship been provided with an interpreter, the tragical occurrence would not have happened. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. —Early on Monday morning, a fatal accident occurred on the Berks and Rants branch of the Great Western Railway. It has been the custom, it appears, for the engine-driver taking the last train from Reading to Basingstoke, on Saturday evening, to wait at that town in order to bring up the early train to Reading, on Monday morning. The engine driver, a man named Moore, went to Basingstoke on F r i day even i ng , and as the trains on Christmas-day ran the same as on Sun days, he returned the same night to Reading, having made arrangements to start at such a time on Monday morning to fetch the train so as to reach this station at the usual hour. Accordingly, he left Reading on Mon day morning ab ou t s i x o ' cloc k w ith an engine, but had scarcely proceeded half a mile before a poor fellow had been deprived of life. The facts appear to be these : Two young men, in the employ . of Messrs. Orton and Child, the contractors for the maintenance of way, left home to go to work in digging ballast at the junction of the Basingstoke and Newburgh branch lines, about a mile from the town. Knowing that it was not customary for any train to travel upon the line until nearly nine o'clock, they walked on the road between the two rails, thinking they should reach the place of work in perfect safety. The engine-driver took the precaution to sound his whistle to give alarm to any one who might be on the line, but unfortunately a strong west wind blew at the time, so that the poor fellow could not hear it, and in a few seconds he was knocked down, and his body dreadfully mutilated by the engine. The other man, who at that point walked close by the rails, escaped with very slight injury. An inquest has since been held be , fore the coroner for the borough, and the evidence clearly showing that the accident entirely arose from the de ceased incautiously walking on the railway, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
