Shame and the dread so *equeitly, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where aleue it can be procured.

Honourable Sirs, . 4 We, the undersigned Proprietors of East ladle Stoek, duly qea. lifted by law, re/facet that yea will COIVIONO a Special Eeneral Coart of treprfetas, for the purpose of taking into eonsideration the ac companying Resolutions, and that you will be pleased to pablish the same with,thie, oar requisition.

JOHN POYNDER. J. W. GRAPIAM." ReeolTeci,-That as the peace and security of oar possessions In India depend mainly on the faithful observance of existing treaties, it 'is most important that the East India Company should maintain all engagements with the Native States with inviolable good faith aid honour. I" That a treaty of perpetual friendship and alliance between the T%onourable Bast India Company and his Highness Maharaja Pertaub Silean, his heirs and successors, was concluded on the 25th of Sep tcnnber, 1619, and afterwards duly ratified, by which, in consideration o t the antiquity of the house of his Highness the Raja of Sattara, and for State reasons of paramount importance, the British Govera ■leut Reread to eede, in perpetual Sovereignty to him, his heirs, and stneeehsers, the territory of Sattara, for tie maintenance of his family Mt comfort aid dignity. " That his Highness the late Raja for apwards of seventeen years pliverned his country and fulfilled all the *conditions of his treaty with tile British Government in so exemplary a manner, that in Decem ber 183 i, the Court of Directors unanimously, with the sanction of tins Board of Control, seat a sword of honour and a letter to his wkieh letter was expressed is the following words:— " Tour Highness, _ . _ We have been highly gratified with the information from time to time transmitted to ns by oar Government, on the subject of your iliglineas's exemplary tultilaiont of the duties of that elevated situ', Mon In which it has pleased Providence to place you. " A course of cendact 6o suitable to your Highness's exalted eta ion, and so well calculated to promote the prosperity of year do minions, and the happiaess of your people as that which you have evisely and usiforisly pursued, while it reflects the highest homour on your *we character, ha. imparted to our minds the feelings of unqua tided satisfaction and pleasure. " The liberality, also, which you have displayed, in executing at your own coot, various public works of great utility, and which has se Inistly raised your reputation in the eyes of the princes and people of India, gives you an additisnal claim to our approbation, respect, and applause. " Impressed with these sentiments, the Court of Directors have ainaniinously resolved to transmit to you a Sword, which will be pre- Anted to yea through the Government of Bombay, and which we trust you will reeeivo with satisfaction, as a token of their high es teem and regard. " With sincere wishes for your health and prosperity, we Subscribe ourselves, in the name of the Court, " Your Highness's " Most faithful Friends, (Signed) " W. S. CLARKE, Chairman. " J. R. CARNAC, Deputy. " Nth December, 1835." That notwithstanding this unexampled testimony to his merits as a sovereign and as a man, the late Raja of Sattara was de posed by the Government of Bombay on the sth of September, 1839, for an alleged broach of treats, and has recently died an exile at liesiares, solemnly protesting his innocence, and never ceasing to de mand, to his dying hour, the opportunity of proving it. "That Majoi• J.D. Carpenter, ihe officer who had the custody of the Raja's person, and was in constant communication with him for [more than seven years, from the time of his arrival at Beiares up to the day of his death, wrote his own deliberate opinion, when cancel upon in his letter to the Governor-General, dated Benares, 25th May, 1846, in the following words—(See Parliamentary Papers, No. 711, of 1847:—'' To this end I carefUlly studied the whole of the voluminous documents connected with his (the Raja's) case, and the result was a belief in his innocence ; and this belief has beets confirmed beyond a doubt by subsequent disclosures, and by his pledging himself to prove ft (his innocence) if permitted to do se, in his letter to Sir Henry Hardinge, of the 12th December, 1844, forwarded through ms, whisk pledge I am full persuaded he (the Raja is able to redeem." "'That it further appears that the whole of the late Rsja's private property was seized contrary to a distinct written pledge, under the hand of Sir James Cameo, the Governor of Bombay, confirmed by three notes from Colonel Ovens, the Political Resident at Sattara, which property was never restored. " Therefore resolved,—That, considering the responsible functions entrusted to this Company by the Legislature, and having regard for the honour of the empire, and security and good government of the people and princes of India, this Court earnestly recommends to the Court of Directors to obtain the sanction of the Board of Control to the instituting of a public and impartial inquiry into the charges brought against the late Raja of Sattara, and into the manner in which the published ovidenee against him has been obtained, In order that the troth or falsehood of that evidence may be made manifest, and the British Government purged from the imputation of having treated the late Raja of Sattara harshly, illegally, or vindictively."

'Boar, MONDAY AFTERNOON.—This afternoon the usual half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the East Lancashire Railway was held at the station in this 'towii. The meeting was also made special for the purpose of confirming the forfeiture of certain shares in the said company, already declared forfeited by the directors, and for the purpose of directing the sale pr other disposition of the said shares. J. Grundy, Esq., Chairman of the Board, pre sided. The SECRETARY (J. Smithett, Esq.) read the re port, which stated that since the 31st of December the arrears of calls had been reduced to the sum of 87,9001. The directors went on to say— " From the secretary's circular of the 27th of November last, it will be seen that the board has considered it expedient to modify the arrangement previously acted upon in paying interest on calls—a tl' odificntion which is auth orise d by th e provisions of t e company's Acts of Parliam e nt, and founded, as e directors believe, upon j us t p r i nc iples. The net profit arising from the working of the lines now in ope ration, during the past half-year, amounts to the sum of 14,405/. 12s. 9 Ad.—a result which, keeping in view the commercial depression, affecting during the past half year every branch of manufacturing industry in this district, and also the incomplete state of the railway —the directors consider satisfactory : it shows a clear profit of 4 per cent. upon the cost of the lines now working. The dividend of 5 per cent. due on the quarter shares, amounting to the sum of 1,021/., is payable out of the balance of the revenue account ; but as the residue of the company's capital bears interest, the directors propose to appropriate the remainder of this balance to the general purposes of the undertaking. The working expenses of the com pany for the past half-year amount to about 40 per cent. on the gross receipts. At one period of the past half-year tie directors were under the apprehension that the company's works must be suspended to an extent that would have postponed indefinitely the opening of the remainder of the railway. 'Such a sus pension has been avoided, although the d rectors have curtailed the expenditure on the works during the win ter considerably : the progressive return to a healthier commercial and financial condition in the country will, it is hoped, enable the board to secure the future satisfactory progress of the works. On referring to the report of the engineers, the shareholders will be informed of the present state of the works under con tract ; and from this report it appears that in the course of the present year the undertaking may in the main be completed. The shareholders are aware that the works on the Liverpool Dock branch have not yet been commenced. This branch is under a mile in length, and the whole of the land (with the exception of a very small portion) required for its construction has been purchased. The estimate for works is under 70,0001., and as the line is to be exe cuted on the joint account of this and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, one-half of the cost will be borne by the latter company. The di rectors consider it expedient to proceed with the execution of these works immediately, as the line connects your undertaking with the docks at Liver pool, and is absolutely necessary for the accommoda tion of your goods traffic at that port." The report concluded by congratulating the shareholders upon the condition of the company after having passed through a monetary and commercial crisis scarcely equalled in the history of the country. A report from the engineer was then read, from which it appeared that the works generally were in a forward state. The Ormskirk section, which was 25i miles in length, had been let in one contract. The engineer, in conclusion, said :—" The instructions of the directors to limit the expenditure have neces sarily retarded operations, especially upon the Orms kirk contract, and will continue to do so so long as those orders remain in force; still, the essentially heavy points have been, as far as it was possible, at tended to; and it yet appears possible, if such shall be considered expedient, to have the whole line finished by the autumn of this year. And even with a limited expenditure, some portions of it may be opened within the next summer." From the detailed statement of accounts which ac companied the directors' report, it appeared that the total expenditure upon capital account had been 1,733,9141. 18s. 6d., and that the directors had in hand upon that account, 98,8661. 10s. On revenue account the receipts for the past half-year had been 26,3151.25., and the working expenses 11,9091.25. 20., leaving a net profit, as stated in the report, of 14,4051. 19s. 94d. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, after adverting to the falling-off in the passen ger traffic, said that since the last meeting they had only been able to borrow 15,0001., which was owing to the depressed state of commercial affairs gene rally. The calls, however, which the directors bad been compelled to make had been well met, and since the accounts were made up; the arrears had been reduced by 49,0001. The Chairman then dwelt upon the necessity of a new terminal station in the town of Preston, which he contended ought immediately to be constructed; and he concluded by showing that instead of the Liverpool and Bury line being injurious to the East Lancashire, it would have a contrary effect, inasmuch as the traffic would all have to pass through a portion of the East Lanca shire line. In answer to a question from Mr. ARMITAGE, The CHAIRMAN said that it was true that overtures had been made by the London and North-Western Company for the lease of the East Lancashire line. The proposal came from an individual director of the London and North-Western Company, and the effect wa s, a lease of the line at six per cent.; but that proposal was clogged with a provision which the di rectors of the East Lancashire never could entertain —that the London an d N or th-W es t ern C om p any should at any time hereafter, if they thought fit, have the power of paying off the East Lancashire share holders at par. Mr. BreiciLocic. said he thought the Chairman was i n error in this matter. He (Mr. Blacklock) understood from the director himself, to whom the Chairman had alluded, that the proposal was, six per cent., and the option of paying off at twenty-five years' purchase. The CHAIRMAN said he had seen the gentlemen alluded to after Mr. Blacklock had. Mr. RAND, in seconding the adoption of the re port, bore testimony to the teal and ability of the directors. Mr. li A . NCE, of Lond on, i n a speec h an h our l ong , put a variety of questions, from which it appeared that the average rate of interest at which the com pany had borrowed money was 4f per cent. The commission paid for borrowing money amounted to 30/. only.—(Cheers.) The delay which had occurred in opening the line was no fault of the directors, but was owing to adverse weather and bad soil. Mr. Vance then, at great length, opposed the payment of interest to the holders of the quarter shares, as the shares were created with th e un d erstan di ng t h at t h ey should not bear inter est until the year 1850. It was explained in reply, that when the shares were created, none of the capital of the company bore interest; but subsequently it was agreed that i nterest should be paid on the other s h ares o f the company, and the directors considered that it would be an injus tice to exclude the quarter shares. Mr. VANCE, however, persisted in his opposition, and moved an amendment, that that part of the report referring to the payment of interest on the quarter shares should not be adopted. The amendment fell to the ground for want of a seconder, and the motion for the adoption of the re port was then put and carried. The retiring direct ors hav ing been re-elected, a resolution was submitted to the meeting and carried, for paying five per cent. to the holders of the quarter shares. Mr. VANCE protested against this appropriation of the funds of the company, and announced his inten tion of memorialising the railway commissioners on the subject. Mr. GRIEG then brought forwa r d a mot i on f or pro hibiting Sunday travelling : which was negatived. This terminated the business of the ordinary ge neral meeting ; the meeting was made special, when 485 shareslwere declared forfeited, upon which 2,2681. had been paid, but upon which 7,000/. was due. On the motion of Mr. Vesica a vot e o f th an k s was passed to the chairman an d directors, and the meeting separated. _ LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. MANCHESTER, MONDAT.—A special general meet ing of the proprietors was held to-day at the Pala tine Hotel in this town, Mr. Houldsworth in the chair, for the purpose of considering a Bill for the extension of the Liverpool and Bury line into Liverpool. The CHAIRMAN, in submitting the Bill for ap proval, dwelt upon the importance to the company of having 'a good terminus in such a town as Liverpool. Mr. KYNASTON wished to know whether the pro poi..d extension would affect the dividend of the Liverpool and Bury shares. He also wished for some explanation as to the delay which h a d occu rr e d in the-construction of the main -:ine. The CHAIRMAN said it was doubtful whether the agreement with the Liverpool and Bury shareholders did not provide that the dividend should not com mence until the proposed extension was completed. ~/,' ... ./...- ./.../ . - -160777ig- - ' ‘e /i -- -- 4 1-7-- - Z:e€ 2 ., ./„...".,..... s. .4 „1e;.,..,. 7: 11 ,;. • ' ~ '':::,..' t.. ; , 7 ..,„ , -. - - •,. - CO..k -11 ) ..''. . 14 _ ~,, . , • the night of . _ ~t 4 , „„ I, A. 4 41 Lt• ' - 4 - \ - '.i ~ :-., __A.__ ,'.:, cl, / . -- 7 -- , ,1 . , , ,:$ 7,ZA:. ,tdr s:. , ~ ,---:' - tt : •Nair' - ', `., ( Al 1, . , ..... 44 g t f L'' • ' 4 .

I then shaped a S.W. by W. course, and at four, P.m. (having then kept the deck from the time of our departure), I went below for a few hours' rest. At about seven, P.M., I was awakened by a crash and vs a eles c ,s r els cry which a ship was into us; springing on deck, I found that w e had b een s t ruc k f orwar d b y a l arge ves e s ic o h on w s as ft then e r swung swinging clear e a r of alongside, each a eh other. th e r.

He reported that the berths were smashed in, and the water standing above the steerage deck. I had or dered the engines to be stopped, but the engineer in formed me that the water was rising above the plates of the engine-room, and that he thought the sea cocks had started, the engines were therefore kept going, and the injection taken from the bilge. The smaller engine was also :set on to work the pumps. Finding the water still gaining, rockets and blue lights were fired as signals to the ship, and I directed the two remaining boats to be cleared away, giving charge of the jolly-boat to the chief officer and his watch, the life-boat to the second officer and his watch, with directions to the engineers and firemen to be prepared to get into the latter. I then ordered the small binnacle into the life-boat, and a compass into the jelly-boat, with lighted lanthorns into each, giving each officer blue lights, rockets, matches, &c. Finding the water rising rapidly in the engine room, it having risen above the furnaces and drowned out the fires, I gave directions to lower the boats below the gunwales, and for all hands to prepare to quit the ship. The chief mate quitted with eleven persons in the jolly-boat, but the men who were sta tioned to the starboard falls having left them, (I be lieve to get some clothes), some persons let them go, without orders, and the foremost tackle unhooked. The painter, at the time, parted, and the boat swung to the after tackle, which also unhooked, but the second mate held on to it. I directed several who handswere about were inme t the to boats, o u a m t sp, sprang n . The i second d he rn r a f t r e om cou th ld e hold on no l onger. S ee i ng t hi s, and t hi n ki ng a ll starboard quarter, when three persons rushed on to the poop, one of whom was, I think, Mr. Livingstone, the chief engineer. I beckoned and called them to follow, but they appeared paralyzed. The oars were got out, the only two that were available, and every endeavour made to regain the ship, but, owing to the cross sea, and to the heaviness of the boat, she was unmanageable, and a sea breaking on board nearly filled her. A short time after, falling in with the jolly-boat, in a sinking state, we took five hands out blue f oher regain i t g o thb l te i s g h v t a e eh n sr r e o r c , k thoseae n t s d again .lvone board hoeanrd lost endeavouredbu burning ignh t g o t of her light. The ship's lights were now seen to windward, and I therefore determined to pull towards her to get the people out of the boat, and assistance to return in search of the vessel. At about half-past eight we got alongside the American ship Susquehana, Captain Dunlevy, the jolly-boat having been picked up about fifteen minutes before, and, getting the people out of the boat, bore down towards what the captain supposed to be a light, but, if he saw it, it immediately disappeared, and was no more seen. The ship was shortly after hove to for the remainder of the night, and short tacks made during the following day, but no spar or vestige of my ill fated ship was seen, except a white painted water cask, passed during the night and again on the following morning. On getting on board the Sus quehana, and mustering the crew of the Aram, I found, to my great regret, that, out of the total num ber of twenty-six, of which the crew was composed, six were missing, and I annex a list of those saved and lost. "I can never sufficiently acknowledge Captain Dunlevy's kindness to myself and crew ; to his humane and seamanlike conduct those who were 'eyed owe their lives, as the boats could not have lived through the night. " Whilst deeply regretting this unfortunate acci dent, it is satisfactory to me to be able to add, that, so far as I can ascertain, the collision was purely accidental, owing to the darkness of the night, and no blame can he attributed to either party.—l an, dear sir, yours truly.

To the Judge of our County Court of Oxfordshire, holden at Banbury, greeting : Whereas, according to the custom of our court before us at Westminster, hitherto used and approved of in the same, the attorneys of our said court, whilst they are prosecuting or defending suits and actions therein for their clients, ought not, nor have they from time immemorial been used to be compelled to answer be fore any of our justices or officers, or any other secular judges whatsoever, upon any plea, plaint, or demand which do not particularly belong to us (pleas of freehold, felonies, a'od appeals excepted) save only before us by writ of summons in our said court. And whereas we have received, by the complaint of Thomas Jepson Wagner, gen. tleman, one of the attorneys of our said court before us, that several evil disposed persons intending to disqualify the said Thomas Jepson Wagner, have issued forth and prosecuted out of our said county court of Oxfordshire, holden at Banbury, one or more plaint or plaints returnable before you in the said court against Thomas Jepson Wagner, and therein to arrest and detain him thereupon in suits which do not relate to us, or to freehold, felonies, or appeals, whereby the said Thomas Jepson Wagner is unable to attend his said affairs as an attorney upon several affairs and suits depending in our court before us, which, if it be permitted, will manifestly take away, and be not only i• derogation and diminutory of the jurisdiction of our said' court and the liberty and privileges thereof, but will also be of great detriment to the said Thomas Jepson Wagner and his clients ; and because we are willing that the jurisdiction, pri vilege:, and customs for so long time used and ap proved in our court before us should be inviolably kept and observed, therefore we command you that you desist from taking the said Thomas Jepson Wagner into your custody upon any such plaint or plaints ; and if the said Thomas Jepson Wagner be detained in your custody upon any such plaint or plaints, other than as particularly concerns us (pleas of freehold, felonies, or appeals only excepted), that then you discharge the said Thomas Jepson Wagner out of your custody, and suffer him to go at large, as you will answer the contrary at your peril ; and that you inform the party or parties, plaintiff or plaintiffs, in the plaint or plaints, that he or she may prosecute his or their action or actions, suit or suits, in our court, by writ of summons against the said Thomas Jepson Wagner, if he, she, or they shall think it ex pedient to do so. " Witness—T:l oll AS Loan DENMAN, at West minster, this 26th day of January, in the year of our Lord 1848." Sl7 N FEB RUARN 1, 1848, The directors, however, were disposed to construe the agreement as liberally as possible, and to extend the dividend to the Bury shareholders as soon as the line should be completed down to Liverpool. With respect to the progress of the works, he could say that no unnecessary delay had taken place. The state of the times had compelled the directors to proceed cautiously with works which, in different circum stances, the directors would have pushed on with greater expedition. But the delay which had taken place had occurred in the winter, and therefore it was not of much consequence to the shareholders. The same delay would certainly have occurred if the Bury Company had been an independent body. At the ap proaching half-yearly meeting of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, the directors would be prepared to state in detail the plan which they intended to adopt with respect to the Bury shareholders. Mr. KYNASToN said he intended to move an adjourn ment. . The CHAIRMAN said it could not be entertained, as this was the last day the meeting could be legally heW. Mr. K.INISTON said that certain rumours were afloat injurious to the interests of the company. He would be glad in the first place to know the offer which Mr. Havvkshaw had made for the Preston and Wyre contract. He had no personal feeling in this matter bat he thought that in these times high paid officials ought, if they could, to be dispensed with. Mr. Paws doubted whether the money for the proposed extension could be raised in the present state of the share market. The CHAIRMAN said the funds would come from the Manchester and Leeds Company. Manchester and Leeds Extension Stock was not to be applied to one purpose only, but to others. Several of the ex tensions would be ready for opening shortly, and then the shareholdets would come into dividend. The proposed extension into Liverpool would be expensive, in consequence of its going through build ing property—it would be between 300,0001. and 400,0001. There was at present a gloom over rail way property, but that was owing to the proceedings of the last two years, and if directors and share holders proceeded harmoniously together now, he believed that gloom would soon wear away. The Amalgamated Lancashire and Yorkshire Com pany had about 233 miles of railway to make, and they were now concentrating their energies upon about 33 miles. The capital of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company was 5,200,0001., and they had actually expended 7,500,0001. Their loans were 1,700,0001., and therefore they had good security for any further loans. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to show the advantages which the company offered as security for the loan of money, contending that the security was as substantial as that of the public funds. In the course of a discussion which followed, it ap peared that Mr. llawkshaw's salary had been reduced from 5,0001. to 2,500/. a-year. Mr. HEALD, M.P., said he was so satisfied with the stability of this company, that he would be ready to join other capitalists, and take the mortgage bonds out of the hands of the present holders if they would relinquish them. The motion of the approval of the Bill having been put, the votes were—For the extensions, 88,139 ; against it, 7,314 ; majority, 80,825. Thanks to the chairman and directors terminated the meeting. It was stated in the course of the meeting that the directors had relinquished their remuneration of 3,5001. a-year. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN EUSTON-SQUARE. The adjourned inquest upon James Hickey and Charles Gedge, the last two sufferers by the accident at the London and North-Western Railway Station on the morning of the 6th ult., was held before Wakley, M.P., in one of the parcel-rooms at tached to the station. Several scientific persons were present. Among them were Mr. Hoskins, who attended at the request of the Woods and Forests ; Mr. Tite and Mr. Blore, _the eminent architects, attended at the request of Mr. Philip Hardwick, the architect to the railway company, under whose direc tion the building which had fallen was being erected. Mr. William Cubitt, M.P., the contractor for the works, was present throughout the proceedings. The evidence wholly went to ascertain the cause of the accident. The first witness was Mr. Hardwick himself, who was examined at considerable length. He described the construction of the works as required by the specification under which Messrs. Cubitt had con tracted for their execution, aid said he was satisfied the fall of the buildings had not been occasioned by any flaw, either in the concrete upon which they rested, or the foundation. His first impression, he candidly confessed, after the accident, was that in consequence of the work having been proceeded with as fast as it could be, there had not been time for the cement of the columns to set, so that it was entirely green work. The best Roman cement was used. They were built " brick-on-edge," a common con struction. On examining the fragments after the ac cident he found some parts in which the cement had not set. Since this he had felt the probability was that the work might in some degree have been affected by the movement of the scaffolding. Mr. Cubitt, M.P., was the next witness, and after describing the qualities of the materials used, he said he had not been able to form an opinion as to the cause of the accident, but he did not think the scaf folding had anything to do with it. The columns would have been strong enough to bear the weights intended for them. He attributed the accident to the state of the atmosphere not permitting the cement to get into the state of stone as soon as was expected. Robert Butterwick, foreman to Messrs. Cubitt, proved that the work was built with due care, and that none of the men complained either of the mate rials or of the building going on too quick. James Stephenson, foreman of the bricklayers em ployed on the work, said in his opinion the pedestals had given way a little, and so brought the columns down. Several other witnesses were examined, and then Mr. Tite was examined. This gentleman, on his examination of the place, and the bearing of the evidence, said, in his opinion the work had been car ried up rather rapidly in what was very wet weather, consequently the brickwork and mortar had " set" insufficiently. He conceived the pedestal had given way first, because the edge of it was cut off angle ways, as if the column had slipped off. The cause of this was the inequality of the pressure upon the inner column produced by the men lengthening the scaf folding at a greater leverage. Nobody could be blamed for it, and as to ithe columns being built " brick on edge," he was satisfied it was advanta geous. Mr. Edward Blore said he entirely concurred in opinion with Mr. Tite, that the fall had been occa sioned by some motion in the upper part of the scaffolding, by which undue pressure was thrown upon the inner column. There was not the least inherent danger in the structure itself, and he should not have anticipated any accident himself. The inquest was then ajourned till Thursday, by which day Mr. Hoskins, who took an active part in the inquiry, said he would be prepared with a written opinion upon the cause of the accident. COWES, SATURDAY, JAN. 29.-05BM:111M HOUSE. 1 —Our readers are aware that for some time past the works on her Majesty's estate in this island. have been • rapidly progressing. The old mansion, known hitherto as Osborne House, has, since the departure of the Court, been taken down, and nut a vestige of the former build ing remains. The ground has been excavated, and prepared for the foundation of what will be the front elevation ; and we learn that his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and probably accompanied by her Majesty, will pay a short visit next week for the purpose of laying the foundation stone. Tho present intended elevation will be connected with the extensive building lately erected in the rear, and when the former is complete, will form the main building or body of the now Osborne House. The West wing, on which is the tower, has been inha bited for some time past by the Royal family, and will also be connected by a corridor to the main building; and when the other intended wing and clock-tower are erected, the whole will be one of the handsomest ma rine mansions in the kingdom, and worthy the habita tien of the sovereign and the Court during their frequent sojourn.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY. — The Meander, 44, Cap tain the Hon. H. Keppel, will sail to-morrow, if pos sible, for the Cape of Good Hope direct, en route to Singapore and Borneo, taking the latest news from England to the former place and dispatches from the Government. Mr. Brooke, the Raja of Sarawak, and suite arrived this afternoon and will embark to morrow. The Meander has been visited by some most distinguished officers and personages since she arrived here ; she is a very handsome-looking vessel, and is fitted with all the ♦ery latest improvements incidental to active service. During her stay at Spithead slue has been riding at single anchor, and experienced some very heavy weather. Owing to the paucity of anchors in the dockyard on Porter's plan, she was supplied only on the eve of her departure from Sheerness with this valuable appliance ; its having been specially demanded of the Admiralty by an officer of Captain Keppel's experience speaks highly in its favour. The Meander takes out the following personages : Mr. Brooke, Raja of Sarawak; Mr. William Napier, Lieutenant Governor of the island of Labuan ; Mrs. Napier, Miss Napier, the two children ; Mr. St. John, Regiment, private secretary t o M r. B rooke ; M r. L ow, Govern ment secretary to th e i s l an d o f L a b uan ; M r . S cott, engineer and surveyor of pu bli c wor k s to t h e i s l an d ; Lieutenant Hosken, R.N., p os t master o f L a b uan ; Mr. G ri w thepty n aw n oa e nr , )d, of t he postmaster room ; g 8 Lieutenant t o h f Hon g -Kong, K Patonon quarteredg , (son who o ta sgoesi Sir out Henryt Calcutta, as the guest of Captain Keppel; and the lion. Granville Egerton, naval cadet, to join the Ver non, 50, flag-ship on the East India and China station. The Raja was most hospitably received by the Commander-in-Chief, who invited the following distinguished party to meet his Highness Ogle, the Hon. Mrs. Keppel, Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, C.B. ,_• Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8.; Captain Mandy, R.N. ; Captab the Hon. H. Keppel, R.N.; Mr. Napier, Mr. St. John, Flag- Lieutenant Cochran, and Captain Ogle, R.N. Thr Firefly steam-sloop, Lieutenant-Commander Ponsonby, was paid advance to-day, and will leave to-morrow for the cost of Africa station, taking mails and supernumeraries, together with dispatches for the Queen Dowager at Madeira, and the Commander-in- Chief on the African station, Commodore Sir Charles Hotham, K.C.B. The promotions under given, which were made by the Admiralty this day, will, we are convinced, give much satisfaction. Commander Robert Sharpe is a lieutenant of 1815, and a commander of 1826, a ser viceable and gallant officer, lately commanding the Scylla. He has seen much service on the coast of Portugal in bygone disturbances, and was for his gallantry and support created a Knight of the Tower and Sword. Commander Sharpe heads the list of the promoted, and Lieutenant Henry Need, the gallant First-Lieutenant of the Terrible steam-frigate, con cludes it. Of this latter officer's merits the public are well aware. His last praiseworthy act was saving the life of a fellow creature from drowning, a few days before the Terrible left this port for Lisbon and Malta. Of the other officers we regret we know nothing, and the explanatory navy list gives us but little assistance. They are all deservedly advanced, however, and we heartily congratulate them. It will be seen also by the appointments that Cap tain Sir James Clarke Ross (1834) is this evening officially charged with the expedition to search for Sir John Franklin and his lost voyagers. Sir James is appointed to the Enterprise, a ship purchased of \Vigram and Green, of Blackwell. PROMOTIONS.

LOSS OF THE SCREW-STEAMER ARAM. (From the Liverpool Albion.) On Sunday, by the arrival at this port of the packet-ship Susquehana, Captain Dunlevy, from Philadelphia, intelligence was received of a serious collision between that ship and the auxiliary-screw steamer Aram, Captain Easterby, by which the latter vessel was so seriously damaged that she sunk and six of her crew were drowned. The disaster occurred yesterday evening week, at seven o'clock, off the southeast coast of Ireland, about forty miles below Tuskar. The ship, which for some days previously had been contending with strong east winds, was at the time of the collision standing to the northward, close-hauled, with the wind about E.N.E., and thr weather being very cloudy prevented the steamer from being seen till they were in close contact. After the vessels got clear of each other Captain Easterby, of the Aram, finding his vessel in a very dangerous state, ordered the boats to be got out, when seventeen persons, including himself and the first and second mates, got into them, and were shortly afterwards taken on board the Susquehana. It was then found that six of the crew were missing. Every ef fort was made by Captai n Dunlevy in searching for them, and, after lying -to near the spot till daylight the next morning, no trace of the vessel or the poor fellows, who might have floated on spar s , b e i ng visible, the ship bore awa y for this port. The Aram left the Mersey on Saturday week, bound for Malta and Constantinople, to which ports she was a regular trader. She was a superior vessel, rigged as a three-masted schooner, with auxiliary steam power, on the serew plan, and only arrived from the Clyde sixteen days ago, where she had been receiving new machinery, & c . The following is the copy of a note from Captain Dunlevy, of the Su sque h ana , w hi c h was y e sterday posted in the Underwriters'-rooms : "Ou Sunday evening, Jan. 25, in lat. 51 44, lon. 7 10, Hook Light b ear i ng N.E. E. p e r compass, dis tance eight leagues by dead reckoning, was run into by steamer Aram, Captain A. Easterby, from Liver pool, bound to Constantinople. Hove the ship to, and found part of the stem 'and cutwater carried away Shortly after saw signals of distress from the steamer, and ran down towards her, and picked up two boats' crews, consisting of the captain, first and second officers, and seventeen of the crew. Finding six men missing, ran towards the steamer's light, when it sud denly disappeared, and have no doubt they perished with her. Hove the ship to near the place where the steamer sunk, in hopes of saving more of the crew ; at midnight saw a gangcast alongside; at eight, a.m., saw the cask again. Feeling assured the men had perished, made sail, and proceeded on our passage towards Liverpool." Since the above was written we have been put in possession of the following letter from Captain E as . terby, addressed to Mr. Mongredien, the owner o the Aram, which gives full particulars of the col' sion " On board the Susquehana, Jan. 25, 1848.
