Naval and Military Intelligence. In accordance with orders to that effect received at Chatham garrison, Capt. M. S. Morgan, Ist Battalion 14th Regiment, Capt. M. S. M. G. A. Clarke, 50th Queen's Own Regiment, have em barked on board the Liverpool, at Gravesend, for New Zealand, to join the service companies cf their respective regiments. Ensign W. W. R. Onslow, Ist battalion 12th Regiment, at Chatham, has also been placed under orders to embark for New Zealand, to join the headquarters of his regiment. Capt. F. J. Bolton, 12th Regiment, the inventor of the new code of day and night signals, having completed a lengthened series of experiments and trials with the invention in various parts of England and Ireland, extending over a period of some months, has rejoined the depot of the 2d battalion of the 12th Regiment at Chatham garrison. A detachment of the II I;attery. Field Artillery, stationed at Chatham, has proceeded.from that gar rison to Aldershot, for service at that station. Capt. Couchman has joined the headquarters of the first division of the depot brigade, by order of the Duke of Cambridge. By direction of the Secretary of State for War, the necessary drawings and plans are to be prepared for the erection of a commodiouS block of buildings in the vicinity of St. Mary's casemated barracks, Chatham, now occupied by the troops belonging to the 3d battalion of Infantry of the Line, for the se parate accommodation of the married non-commis sioned officers and men of the battalion. Since the removals of the depots of infantry from the hut barrack to St. Mary's the former have been set apart for occupation by the married men and their fami lies. As the huts are not adapted for married quar ters, and are expected to be shortly required for the additional troops intended to be quartered at Chat ham, it became necessary to provide a separate building for the marriedmen, similar to that already constructed for the wives and families of the troops belonging to the Ist and 2d depot battalions. The drawings and plans of the proposed new married quarters are now in course of preparation at the Royal Engineer Department, Chatham, and the necessary surveys of the various eligible sites within the fortifications already made, The French Government steam transport vessel Dix Decembre, M.Cavalier, lieut. de vaisseau, now alongside the pier at Charlton, adjoining the dock yard at Woolwich, is receiving a cargo of telegraph cable from the newly-erected factory of Messrs. Siemans Brothers. The cable, the whole of which is completed, is 60 miles in length, and is intended to form the line of communication between Leghorn and Corsica. The Dix Decembre is the vesselwhich, as reported in The Sun, came into collision with the Spanish vessel the Murilla off the North Foreland, when the latter was sunk and some of the crew were drowned. The French vessel has suffered some injuries, which are being made good at Woolwich. She will be ready for sea in about 10 days hence. Her Majesty's steam store ship Fox, Commander Moriarty, yesterday commenced shipping at Wool wich four boilers, the condensers, cylinders, and other portions of the machinery supplied by Messrs. Maudslay for the Vestal, building at Pembroke dockyard. Theiron paddle-wheel vessel Bloodhound, in basin in Woolwich, has cleared out the whole of her en gines, boilers, &c., in preparation to be broken up, having been pronounced unfit for further service, and the iron paddle sloop Trident, also at Wool wich, has been docked to fitted as a " hopper" ves sel, for clearing the harbours and creeks at Malta. The iron store ship Supply, Commander Bawden, was yesterday removed from the Royal Arsenal pier at Woolwich to the upper part of the harbour, off the dockyard, and commenced discharging stores, preparatory to her being paid out of commission, which is ordered to take flihce on the 17th inst. She will be recommissioned, according to present ar rangements, on the same day. The iron paddle wheel vessel Antelope, in the dock at Woolwich, has undergone a thorough survey. Her engines and boilers have been hoisted out and removed to the factory. The boilers will be removed, the engines repaired, and many of the iron plates on her sides will be replaced with new ones, after which she will resume her duties as a preventive service vessel on the West Coast of Africa. Mr. Jones, foreman rigger during the past 13 years in Woolwich dockyard, and who has invari ably maintained the character of a most zealous and efficient man, yesterday retired on a superan nuation allowance of £lO6 per annum.

Aplin, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday afternoon for Plymouth Sound and the coast of Ire land, with supernumerary officers and men, stores and provisions for the ships of the Channel Fleet. The Tamar, screw troopship, Capt. F. H. Stirling, recently returned to Portsmouth with naval and military invalids on board from China, is ordered to undergo repairs at that port and be for the ship's further service as rapidly as possible. The more im portant portion of the defects exist in the boilers, which require new tubes. (From the Jackson, Mich., Citizen) A day or two since we took a trip to Bothwell, now the great centre of the petroleum excitement in Canada. At Enniskillen there are several oil wells in operation, paying fair dividends, but the petroleum excite ment seems to have been drawn to Bothwell, a village of 800 or 1,000 inhabitants on the Great Western Railway, situated about 30 miles west of Chatham. On every hand new buildings are going up, and the town is crowded to excess with eager operators looking after oil lands and sites to " bore." All who have come in for this purpose are Yankees. At the depot engines for drilling pipes for tubing, and the varlets instruments used for exploring the bowels of the earth, are constantly arriving. Land is held at fabu lous prices—some of it which a year since sold for $l5 to $25 per acre, now readily brings $l,OOO and $1,500 per acre. The Canadians are reaping a rich harvest from the sale of their lands. A Chicago company, with a capital of $200,000, has invested largely in oil territory, and is sink ing several wells. Two companies have leased oil terri tory, and are soon to commence active operations. There are now 50 wells sunk and 100 more going down. A De troit company struck oil at a depth of about 100 feet, and the well is flowing at j the rate of 40 barrels per day. The present indications are that large quantities of oil will yet be obtained at Bothwell. Two small refineries are already erected, and the oil sells rapidly at $7.00 per barrel in gold. The State Geologist of Illinois is there, and has invested liberally in oil lands. Late developments have intensified the excitement at Bothwell, and it promises to increase for some time to come. The Royal Sovereign, 5, turret ship, Capt. Her bert, went out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead on Thursday, and to-day will steam out east of the anchorage and test under fire the working of the new winch purchases fitted to the guns in her fore most turret. The Bristol, screw frigate, 39, 3,027 tons, 600- horse power, Captain Leveson E. H. Somerset, flag ship of Geoffrey T. P. Hornby, the successor to the present officer in command of her Majesty's ships on the West Coast of Africa station, Commodore A. P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., arrived and anchored at Spit head yesterday morning from the eastward. She is ordered to make a trial of her speed at the measured mile in Stokes-bay, under the usual conditions, and will therefore most probably not sail from Spithead for her station for some three or four days. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Elfin, Staff-Com mander Balliston, was undocked yesterday at Ports mouth, on the completion of repairs to her hull and machinery, and was taken afterwards out to Spit head to give her engines a couple of hours' work under steam. PETROLEUM.—The prospectus of the Pennsyl vanian Oil Company has been issued. The directors pro pose to purchase certain plots of land together, about 700 acres inVenango county, Pennsylvania. It is contemplated in the first instance to develops and work one plot only, comprising about 72 acres. Should the results then be satis factory, the Company can, by the option already secured to it, claim at any time within seven months the transfer of the entire 700 acres is fee simple, but if not satisfied the company will not be bound to take them. The capital is £300,000. The Missouri Democrat says that Sir Morton Peto some time ago paid £30,000 for some petroleum wells in America. It is said he would not now take £500,000 for them. ----- The Missouri Tribune learns that an oil well has been bored in Lafayette county, aLd is now yielding five barrels of -oil per day, with a prospect of a much better flow. THE BRITISH COLONIES AND THE RECIPROCITY TREATY. —A very significant resolution has recently been introduced into the Legislative Assembly of the British colony of Bermuda, to the effect that the Governor be re quested to communicate to the home Government the desire of the people that the colony should participate in any treaty of reciprocity trade between the United States and the British North American provinces that may be entered into between the two Governments. Some time ago the Canadians affected to regard the Reciprocity Treaty as of little value to Canada; in fact, they advanced the idea that the United States reaped all the advantages, and the British Provinces none. But no sooner was the treaty abrogated, upon due notice being given, than they discovered that Canada gained some very important ad vantages from reciprocity of trade, and they are now most anxious to see the treaty remain in force. The action of the Bermuda Legislature now shows how much the British colonies lean upon the trade and commerce of this country for their prosperity ; and their anxiety to enter into advantageous commercial relations with us proves how rapidly the colonies of Great Britain are being disin tegrated from the mother country, and being drawn by an irresistible attraction to the United States.—New York 'Jerald. West Cowes for breaking up at Mr. John White's Medina dock and shipbuilding establishment. The Vesuvius was of 976 tons, carrying paddle engines of 280 horse power, and was launched from Sheer ness dockyard in 1840, having been built from de signs by Sir Wm. Symonds, the then Surveyor of the Navy. In 1842 she was on service in the Medi terranean, and was considered the handsomest and most efficient steamship on the station. There now remain but two paddle steamers in the reserve at Portsmouth -the Medea, 835 tons, and the Geyser, 1,054 tons, both of which are condemned. The Florence Nightingale, a small iron vessel, built for the transport of troops' invalids between transports arriving at Spithead from India and other fo r eign stations and the Royal Military Hospital at .Netley, was yesterday undocked at Portsmouth, after coaling, &c., and will no w ver y s h or tly be completed in all the details of her outfit and made ready to enter upon her duties. The Florence Nightingale is a small flat-bottomed vessel, built of iron, having one large cabin below for the use of the invalids, sheltered from the weather, and with no attempt therefore at dock accommodation. She has no engines or sail power, except two light spars to carry each, a fore and aft sail to steady her when required, and will be towed by a Government steamer between Netley Hospital and Portsmouth. Her draught of water is very light, and this will enable her to float over the greater portion of the mud shoals intervening between high-water mark at Netley and the deep channel at Southampton Water. This will be a great boon to invalids, who under previous regulations had very often in rough weather to land at the end of the long pier at Net ley and walk the distance up to the hospital, with the water breaking over the pier, and drenching men, women, and children over their knees. The Florence Nightingale appears to be well adapted for the peculiar service for which she w as designed. She was built by t he Millwall Shipbuilding and E ng i ne ering Company from drawings furnish e d b y the Admiralty.

On Thursday afternoon Mr. Dudley, the Ameri can Consul at this port, went on board the Shenan doah, and received formal possession from Captain Paynter. The following is a copy of Capt. Waddell's letter to Earl Russell : "Steamer Shenandoah, Nov. 5. " To the Right Iron. Earl Russell, her Britannic 3lajesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs. _ "My Lord, —I have the honour to announce to your lordship my arrival in the waters of the Mersey, with this vessel, lately a ship of war in my command belong ing to the Confederate States of America. "The singular position in which I find myself placed, and the absence of all precedents on the subject, will, I trust, induce your lordship to pardon a hasty reference to a few facts connected with the cruise lately made by this ship. I commissioned the ship in October, 1864, under orders from the Naval Department of the Confe derate States; and, in pursuance of the same, commenced actively cruising against the enemy's commerce. My orders directed me to visit certain seas in preference to others. In obedience thereto, I found myself in May, June, and July of this year in the Oksotsz Sea and Arc tic Ocean. Both placed, if not quite isolated, are still so far removed from the ordinary channels of commerce, that months would elapse before any news could reach there as to the progress or termination of the American war. " In consequence of this awkward circumstance I was en gaged in the Arctic Ocean in acts of war so late as the 28th of June, in ignoraTwe of the series of reverses sustained by our arms in the field, and the obliteration of the Govern ment under whose authority I had been acting. This in telligence I received for the first time on communicating at sea on the 2d of August with the British bark Barracouta, of Liverpool, 14 days from San Francisco. Your Lordship can imagine my surprise at the receipt of such intelligence, and I would have given to it little consideration if an Eng lishman's opinion did not confirm the war news, though from an enemy's port. " I desisted immediately from further acts of war, and determined to supend further action until I had communi cated with an European port, when I would learn if that intelligence was true. It would not have been intelligent in me to convey this vessel to an American port, simply be cause the master of the Barracouta had said the war was ended. I was in an embarrassing position. I diligently examined all the law writers at my command, searching a precedent for my guidance in the future control, manage ment, and final disposal of the vessel. I could find none. History is, I believe, without a parallel. Finding the authority questionable under which I considered this ves sel a ship of war, I immediately discontinued cruising, and shaped my course for the Atlantic Ocean. "As to the ship's disposal I do not consider that I have any right to destroy her, or any further right to command her. On the contrary, I think that as all the property of the Confederate Government has reverted, by the fortune of war, to the Government of the United States of North America, that therefore this vessel, inasmuch as it was the property of the Confederate States, should accompany the other property already reverted. I have, therefore, sought this port as a suitable ono ' to learn the news,' and, if I am without a Government, to surrender the ship, with her battery, small arms, machinery, stores, tackle, and apparel complete to her Majesty's Government for such disposition as in its wisdom should be deemed proper. " I have the honour to be, very respectfully, your Lord ship's obedient servant, "JAs. J. WADDELL, Commander." Conductor, Mr. F. Jonghmans.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 10.—Yesterday (Thursday) the market for shipping yarns assumed an appear ance of greater activity, and the amount of business done was larger than we have experienced for weeks past. To-day, in consequence of American advices reporting larger receipts of cotton at the ports, many buyers held back in the morning, who have since the close of business on the Exchange, finding spinners very determined not to give way, bought heavily for shipment to India, China, and the Medi terranean. Some orders have also been executed in yarns for Germany at the full and extreme prices of yesterday. Home trade yarns sold more freely on Wednesday and yesterday, and prices ha,lie advanced' about Id. per lb. above the highest selling rates of Tuesday. Since the arrival of the American news of larger arrivals and shipments of cotton to-day, however, the market for these yarns has been rather quieter. Cloths are firmer, but with little doing. The same renewal of activity in cotton at Liverpool, which on Wednesday and yesterday gave an impetus to business, and prices on yarns also caused rather more cheerfulness to manifest itself in the cloth-market. Buyers, however, were slow in responding to the higher quotations of sellers, but prices improved slightly. At the opening of the cloth market to-day there was some manifestation of a great desire to do business, and some sales were effected, but we close with a more subdued tone and with little actual improvement in prices. CARDIFF, 9th.—During the last few days there has been a considerable number of arrivals, princi pally in ballast. The export trade in steam coal is moderately buoyant, and since the commencement of the month the return wili bear favourable com parison with last year. The supply from the col lieries is pretty regular, and the Taff Vale Railway Company are making arrangements for granting increased facilities to the trade. There is a con siderable Continental demand for steam coal, and the mail packet companies are taking about the usual quantity. In the inland and the Birkenhead trade there is no change to report. For house qua lities the local sale continues to improve, and on coasting account the shipments are about an average. The patent fuel trade is extending. A slight falling off is to be noted in the demand for iron from cer tain foreign markets, and there is a good deal of fluctuation evinced in the American inquiry. Nearly every branch of the home trade is buoyant, and buyers are unable in many instances to obtain deli veries within the required time. Sellers of pig iron are well sold for some time to come. NOTTINGHAM, 10th.—We had about au average attendance at our Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand for lace yarns was firm. Fine numbers were 3d. to 6d. per lb. higher than on Tuesday, and me dium and coarse do. were held at recent rates. The demand for hosiery yarns was steady at full prices. China and Bengal silks have advanced is. to ls. 6d. per lb. ; European silks unaltered. For brown nets the demand was quiet, at previous currencies. The Pacific Railway. In a speech recently delivered before a public audience, by Sir Morton Peto, he said he would like to see the "Union of the States made solid and enduring by the linking of the Pacific territory with that of the Atlantic by means of the iron bands of the railroad. There should be no more rounding or crossing by Panama, or attempts to convey by steam on that route the vast trade and travel which would ensue between the two sections of the coun try now that the war was ended. Then, as now, England and the United States would, he was confident, go hand and hand. in pushing on the civilisation of the Old and New Worlds." Observations like these, coming from so practical, sagacious, and influential a source, cannot but be regarded as significant. English capital is ready to be in vested in this road. One important and substantial link of the Eastern section—the Atlantic and Groat Western road —is the work of English capital and enterprise, with Sir Morton Peto, Mr. James McHenry, Mr. Kennard, and others as its architects and constructors. These gentle men and their friends desire no Congressional subsidies to aid them in their enterprises. What they undertake to perform they undertake to accomplish by their own means, and they have never yet failed of success. All they ask is the favor of the American people ; and that this is abun dantly bestowed is illustrated by the numerous, cordial, flattering, and liberal demonstrations that have greeted them all through their tour. This new steam line of communication with the Pacifi is demanded for a number of reasons. It will bring Eu rope closer to Asia, and make America the centre of the world's commerce, civilisation, and progress. It will make this continent the centre of trade and travel between Lon don and Pekin. It will civilise our vast Western wilder nesses, spread the glittering riches of the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada before the world, and open a surer and more expeditious route from our own Atlantic shores to the Pacific than the roundabout ones by way of the Horn or the Isthmus. This trade, as Sir Morton suggests, now that the war is ended, will become enormous, and will require a double or more tracks to carry it on. The business of the new States and Territories of Sierra Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, together with Oregon and Washington, is rapidly augmenting, and is entirely beyond the capacity of the present modes of conveyance, although new expresses are started every few weeks over the plains. The pioneer people of these regions appeal earnestly for this railroad, and are willing to lend all the aid they possess to carry it along. They know that by means of this road the de velopment of their country will, in ten years' time, well nigh repay the cost of the road, and their population be counted by millions instead of hundreds of thousands. The questions as to what route it will take or by whom it will be built are with them no matter of importance. All they say is, " Let the road be built, no matter by whom, or whether by foreign or native capitalists." This is the proper spirit. The people on the Pacific side, with their usual energy, commenced their end of the route some tw o years since, and, notwithstanding the war and the hig h price of gold, have ascended over half way from Sacra mento cit y to the summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and expect to have the road built to the summit—one hundred and four miles from the city of Sacramento —by the first of November, 1866. When it is considered that Sacramento is two thousand seven hundred feet above tidewater, the magni tude of the work may be imagined. Four thousand men, mostly Chinese, are at work on this end of the Pacific road at this time. The State of California has donated, for the prosecution of the work, two millions ono hundred thousand dollars, in gold paying interest bonds. The city of San Francisco gives four hundred thousand dollars, Sacramento six hundred thousand, Placer county two hundred and fifty thousand, the interest of all of which is payable in gold. This shows the spirit of the people of the comparatively young State of California in regard to this grand project. The same enthusiasm in regard to it prevails all through the mountainous silver regions. To meet this momentum on the Pacific side we have already lines established on the Atlantic side, reaching directly from the city of New York to the city of St. Louis, and stretching some two hundred miles from the latter place in the interior. In the construction of a large portion of this route, as we have already seen. European capital has been largely invested without Government aid. All that they have now to do is for the moneyed men of Europe to aid in the completion of the road to the Pacific, and if the American capitalists and sbckjobbars daily and speculate with the project any longer have them laid out in the cold by proclaiming their willingness to build the road promptly, without any Government assistance what ever. In this they will have the sympathy and co-opera tion of the American people from the Atlantic to the Pacific shore.—New York herald. It is believed that the amount of $50,000,000 of Five-twenty bonds, so recently advertised by the Secre tary of the United States' Treasury, has all been taken by the conversion of compound interest notes and other in terest bearing securities. The Banquet at Guildhall. The general bill of fare at the grand banquet given on Thursday evening by the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs at Guildhall is a curiosity in its way.

At the principal table, where the Cabinet Minis ters and the other more distinguished guests were entertained, and at which the Lord Mayor presided, there were 10 tureens of turtle, 10 bottles of sherbet, 6 dishes of fish, 30 entrees, 1 boiled turkey and oysters, 2 roast pullets, two dishes of fowls, 2 ditto of capons, 2 French pies, 2 hams ornamented, 2 tongues, 1 quarter of house lamb, 1 stewed rump of beef, 1 sirloin of beef, 2 dishes of mashed and other potatoes, 3 ditto of shellfish, 1 dish of prawns, 8 jellies, 2 blancmanges, 2 dishes of tarts, creamed, 2 dishes of oranges and other " tourtes," 2 dishes of almond pastry, 4 Chantilly baskets, 2 dishes of mince pies, 4 salads. The 46 removes" consisted of 3 roast turkeys, 1 leveret, 3 pheasants, 2 geese, 2 dishes of partridges, 1 dish of wild fowl and 2 pea fowls. The dessert was made up of six pine-apples, 1 12 dishes of grapes, 10 ice creams, 2 dishes of apples, 4 ditto of pears, 2 ornamented Savoy cakes, 3 plates of walnuts, 4 ditto of dried fruit and preserves, 3 ditto of preserved ginger, 2 ditto of rout cakes and chips, and 3 ditto of brandy cherries. The rest of the vast quantity of edibles of which the general bill of fare given above consisted was distributed in nicely adjusted proportions among the five upper tables, the five short tables next to the latter, the four long tables in the body of the hall, the seven side tables, and the three tables in the old Court of Queen's Bench, The wines drunk on the occasion were of six kinds—hock, champagne, claret, Ma deira, port, and sherry. These, of course, were sup plied in unlimited quantities. Except as to one or two rare dishes all the company, wherever they sat, and whatever their rank or degree, were served with the same fare. Thus, the grandees at the chief table had seven removes, the guests at the five upper tables had six, and so on, the luxuries of this class growing small by degrees. In the mat ter of dessert the guests appear all to have been on an equality, and of that they had 11 separate luxuries. The whole ente r t a i nment, indeed, seems to have been an audacious violation of all sumptuary laws, if any there be unrepealed, or which have not become obsolete. The Guildhall has been famous, however, for the many sumptuous entertainments which have been given in it to royal and other personages of distinc tion at various times, apart from the annual festivity which marks the entrance into office of each Lord Mayor. From the banquet given in 1421 to Henry V. and his Queen on the successful termination of his campaigns in France, when Sir Richard Whit tington, in addition to the luxuries provided for his royal guests, is said to have gratified and astonished the King by throwing into a fire bonds for which he was indebted to the citizens to the amount of £60,000 down to the reign of her present Majesty, nearly every Sovereign of this country has accepted the hos 'pitality of the city in its Guildhall. Charles 11. showed so much partiality for the civic entertainments that he is said to have dined there as many as nine times in the course of his reign. Among the most sumptuous and costly entertainments given thereby the city was that in 1814 to the Prince Regent and the Allied Sovereigns, the Emperor of Russia, and the King of Prussia ; in the same year (the 9th July) there was another to Field-Marshal the Duke o f Wellington ; in 1831 to the members of the Legisla ture, and others who promoted and supporkd Par liamentary Reform ; in 1837 to her present Majesty the Queen on her accession to the throne ; in 1838 to the foreign Ambassadors and other distinguished personages in celebration of her Majesty's Corona tion. The original Guildhall, we are told, stood west ward of the present one, abutting on Aldermanbury, and, in comparison with the existing hall, is de scribed by one of the old chroniclers as " a little cottage," and by another as " an evil-favoured olde house or cottage." The present spacious hall was begun to be erected in 1411, but was not entirely finished until many years afterwards, probably for want of means to defray the great expense of com pleting so large an edifice. The famous Richard Whittington, through his executors, was a great benefactor to the work, and other eminent citi zens also contributed liberally towards it. The building was afterwards partially destroyed in the Great Fire of London, and then still more ruined by ignorant architects. --- - The Loss of the Barque Guayacan• OFFICIAL REPORT. To the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council Pricen le rs ign Cameron,ed, George Esrs G . r t a w n o t 'y Lo a r n d d s , Francis i\ Nathanielthe undersigned, of her Majesty's justices of the peace acting - in and for the borough of Swansea, in the county of Gla morgan, have held an official inquiry, assisted by Captain llarris and Capt. Hatchard, of the Royal Navy, into the circumstances attending the strand ing and subsequent loss of the barque Guayacan, which occurred on the morning of the 20th day of February last, on the coast of Brazils, about 150 miles to the southward of Pernambuco, and we have now the honour to report, that the Guayacan, a vessel of 460 tons, sailed from Carrizal, a port of Chili, on the 21st Dec., 1864, laden with a cargo con- sisting of 700 tons of copper regulus, bound to Swan sea. That the vessel appears to have rounded the Horn towards the middle of January, and subse quently encountered baffling winds in proceeding to the northward. That they entered the south-east trade about the end of the month, which would seem to have been equally scant, so that the vessel at times did not make bettet thiii a N.N.W. courie" 6 . '- This naturally led the ship down upon the Brazilian coast, and as neither the island of Trinidad nor a sufficient offing had been made, it became impossible to weather the land in the vicinity of Cape St. Augustine without tacking to the eastward. That this precaution, unfortunately, was neglected, and the ship struck on the coast about six miles south of Peba Point, and ultimately became a total wreck. That in reviewing the circumstances attending the loss of this ship, we were of opinion, in which the Assessors concurred, that the Guayacan was lost by the default of the master, Nathaniel Francis Carder, inasmuch as he hugged the coast too closely, although his course and some indication of land ought to have warned him of danger ; that the omission to throw the lead in such circumstances was unwarrantable ; and that, taking all the circum stances into account, we felt constrained to suspend the certificate of competency of the said master, and have suspended the same for the space of six calendar months from this date. Dated at Swansea, Nov. 8, 1865. GEO. GRANT FRANCIS. NATHANIEL PRICE CAMERON. We, the undersigned assessors, concur in the above report. Hy. HARRIS. J. H. HATCIIARD. On the investigation we examined on oath the following witnesses, namely :—John Bolten, chief mate ; and Thomas Walters, David Campbell M'lndoe, and William Henry Jones, the minutes of whose testimony we hereunto annex. As the certificate of the master was lost in the wreck, we beg to forward a duplicate, unsigned, which was handed in. GEO. GRANT FRANCIS. NATHANIEL PRICE CAMERON. Public Meeting at Manchester in Behalf of the Freedmen A public meeting, convened by the Mayor, was held at Manchester this week, to take into consideration the condition of the freedmen of America, and their claims upon the sympathies of the English people. Mr. Jacob Bright proposed the following resolution : " That the citizens of Manchester, in public meeting assembled, having ascertained the necessitous condition of the emancipated negroes of the United States, hereby resolve to promote a public subscription for their relief, believing it to be an object deserving the generous and practical sympathy of this community, and they take this opportunity of recording their grateful remembrance of the munificent gifts of upwards of one quarter of a million sterling, presented by the American citizens tb the people of this nation during the groat famine in Ireland and the cotton distress in Lancashire, and desire to reciprocate to some extent their humane and Christian benevolence." Mr. J. IL Estcourt said that whatever might have been our opinion of the American war during its continuance, brought t we had but one opinion with regard to distress in America undero r an y e o u t r he e r hse pa r rt va o ti f e t e h , e ifglobe; itwere and when it was we e would ameliorate in our power ameliorate it. It was well to remember that in the South ern States there were white people as well as black, and that the distress amongst the white people was almost equal to, and in soma cases far exceeded, what it was amongst the blacks. (Hear, hear.) The Americans relieved the poor whites as well as the emancipated blacks. It was well to inquire what they were doing in America, and whether we were now appealed to to help those who helped themselves. The report of Freedmen's affairs in North Carolina showed that there were 17,419 colored people in the district. At Newberno they had established a Freedman's village ; here there were 2,149 persons, who were aged, infirm, widows, orphan; depending entirely on charity for support. Beaufort contained about 1,400 poor whites, receiving equal alms with emancipated blacks, and in the first four months of 1864 $B,OOO worth of clothing was supplied to them. On Roanoke Island there were 3,091 colored people ; of them, 1,297 were under 14 years of age ; 70 per eent. of the whole wore too old or too young to earn their food. In the district of North Caro lina there were schools, the attendance of which numbered 3,000. In addition, evening schools were largely in request by those who worked during the day, and eight had been established in this district. There had been built seven teen hundred houses, besides saw mills, grist mills, and two or three places of worship. Tho Western Freedmen's Aid Commission had a centre in Cincinnati, which embraced camps in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana—an area of 280,000 square miles, which in 1860 had a colored population of 1,250,000, of whom 70,00 J persons were dependent on charity. In the two years ending 1864, the commission had distributed $216,500 in goods, food, and education, the government supplying rations. There were 79 teachers employed ; there were 5,000 scholars in the day schools, 2,000 men in the evening schools, and for orphans, of whom there were 600 in the camp on the Mississippi, asylums were established wherever the committee went. In the District of Columbia, in February, 1863, there were 20,000 sufferers, of whom one-half were females; and one of the lady visitors reported that they were in want of everything necessary to human sustenance and comfort. The government gave the district (which was ten miles square) $27,000 ; soup-houses were established, and th ey were attended daily, on the average, by 2,609 persons ; and 3,300 blankets had been distributed, besides large quantities of fuel. An organisation of colored time and gentlemen last winter devoted the wholeesidtems thesevery efficiently to the relief of the' sufferers. and employed which last year distribute $ organisations, there was the Na d tio 2 n l4,o & oo l , ief Aid Asso ciation,as the New England Com mission scholars. Then there w almost exclusivel • sion at Boston, which devoted itself had giv en y one hundred and fifty teachers in schools attended by to education. The American government in £100,000,000 sterling, and the American people had given ra ti o ns and shelter during the last four y ea rs voluntary more th a n £25,000,000 sterling. These facts s h ow ed that the Americans were hel p in g themselves to the utmost, and therefore they had a claim upon us . America had contributed without being asked for it, a and than Gr e at have r e for a t Britain." If every man in thi s country would but give quar ter of a million to the Irish distress and th e di stress shall noth a in the cotton districts , and he wanted Engl an d to say, " We thewithbeguits Am e r ic a , that she is generous a shilling to this fund, we s h ou l d raise £300,000, and we everle will boast should have the right side of a good boast. Towards the end of next month the people would be • • experiencing the severity of winter, the intensity of which might be mitigated by the prompt liberality of this country. Of the 4,000,000 that had been emancipated by the war, only one-fifth stood in need of alms; the rest earned their live lihood. It was for the aged and for those positively unable to earn anything that assistance was now sought. Some of the scenes of last winter were fearful; stables were occupied by human beings, and mangers crammed with them. In Mississippi, last winter, several thousands of human beings lived with only the s helter of canvas overhead; and it was impossible to provide butter pro tection, bacans.3 they came in in such numbers, no fewer than 7,000 having arrived in one day. If Manchester was divided into districts, and gentlemen undertook to canvass them, ho thought there were few who would not give a shilling as evi dence of practical sympathy, as also of moral sympathy, whisk was a matter of great moment between the two countries. (Applause.) The Golden City, with 1,000 passengers and $1,244,000 in treasure for New York, $314,000 for Eng land, $70,000 for France, $300,000 for Central America, and $lO,OOO Jo] Panama, sailed from San Francisco on the 18th inst. r / J per 3 6 0 32° stone, made y was per 3 6 ;ding , 11$ to hitY ° ower• .
