In the brner of 101 . 75. 6d., with 10 shilli n gs p er cent. entrance fee, would the rate to insure 5001. at 20 years of age. In the latter Si. 13s 4d., Insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of t he DEPOSIT system. ,_t Money laid out at compound interest DOUBLES rrsxtr every f Years. Ott comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person finder the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow :g advantages, viz., l st. For a leas sum, p aid annuall y , he can assure . targer sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. ti this Company ent of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive this by the above example, which applies to all ages, rasa times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event Of Inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, Of the same value as it w as, though - he cease his current payments ,er any number of years ; wher eas on th e ordinary sys tem, he g ets withing, 4thiv. Should he require to increase or decrease the mount of his policy he can do so at plet• sure. He can, at any time, giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw Any part from II up to the Zhele amount of his prev ious p ayments and with interest. After he as withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three rars, or any time afterwards raise his policy to a greater or even t r a l former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate ta annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the b argain of having a fund to fl y to in case of necessit y , the same as i ' 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 t he amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices Le can do ro such thing, but his policy at o nce la p ses or is cancelled the moment e ceases to pay his current p remiums, and, instead of having, any r ued to fl y to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to Lee society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his More fortunate co-assurers. Bach a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and nzposre assurance is the only system of assurance which can be u niversally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It e enfers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withd rawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in c ase of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In Cas e of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOS/Ir s ystem.„ are still more strik in g . ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER TILE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

THE unanimous opinion of the most eminent scientific and medical men of ti e day, of Baron Liable, Messrs. Graham, Hofmann. Musprate,Watson, Budd, Marshall, Hall, Travers, Fergusson, Rowe, Vivian, Heygate, Leman, traoad, Evans, Formby, Petrie, macrorie, Vose, Tufnell, Hunter, Davies, Jones. Se•ilor, Maclaren, Macaulay, Gray, Teevan, Hill, Hayward, Harri son, Pepper, Inman, Sir Charles Clarke, the Sanatory 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 i . ale and Bitter Ales. Messrs. Allsopp have little more to do than to place, once for all, before the public, in a brief form, the acc r e dited 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 ionably vouched to be a very agreeable and efficient tonic, as a general beverage both for the invalid and the robust ; and as tend ing, from the pure and 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 ite sired effect more certainly, none are prescribed with more confidence by the Faculty. " The careful manner in which the fertnentation 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, incontaininga smaller amount of extractive matter. thus being less viscid and saccharine. and consequently more easy of digestion. They resemble, indeed, from their lightness, a Wine of Malt rather titan an ordinary fermented infusion ; and it is very sa tisf •ctory 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 terms, 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 -1 rested parties ; but content themselves by announcing that they have commenced supplies from the Brewing of this Season. ALLSOPP'S PALE or BITTER ALE may be obtained in Casks of 1R Gallons and upwards frnm the Brewery, Burton-on-Trent; and from the undermentioned Rratach Establishments : LONDON, at Rl, King William-street, City; LIVERPOOL, at Conk-street ; MANCHESTER, at Dude-place ; DUDLEY, at Burnt Tree ; GLASGOW, at 115, St. Vincent-street; DUBLIN, at Ulster Chambers, Dame-street; BIRMINGHAM, at Market-hall ; At either of which places n llst of respectable parties who supply the Beer in Bottles (and also in Casks at the same prices as from the Brewery), may at any time be s en.

Vice-Admiral of the White, Sir Thos. John Cochrane, K.C.8., the newly-appointed Commander-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 :-" 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, R.N., 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 ha 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 Anil, 1806 J3eilig off _the coast of Surinam, he to - Ok7" - on tfie 27th or 1807, 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, l 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, haulecleout 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, DEC. 28.

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 puisuing under present circumstances. The Morning Herald has, ever since it has been under its present management, feebly perhaps, but honestly and •asieiduously, - given its support to-tho' 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 during 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 it the eailliest possible moment, and by the result of 'that appeal he would decide upon the course he would pursue as regarded that great Vestion ; 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 disgust of all thinking men, have succeeded in overthrowing the Cabinet ; 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 Pope's brass band, sitting at the same table with Lord John Russell, the writer of the celebrated 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, and under 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 affairs all they can get ; but we say, at the same time—trust them not—they are , wolves in sheep's clothing. ,m I 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 pafier, 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 spread 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 requi red 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. A painful event has 'teen made 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. Dunman 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 altegether, but I cannot say positively, as the •wound was blee,Zing very ouch, sad 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 boarding pike ; he ran at me, I warded the thrust off, and grappled with him to get the pike, but, he being a strong 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 wile 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 poi out any one or more persons who were engaged int is Murderous attack. Captain Campbell added, thatO eaclf Chinese passenger received 'Alb of rice, and my ord4rs were to make it lilb if lAlb was not enough ; fish or beef, Alb ; 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 Robeit 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 91. 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 (correspondent with 28th October 1852.) We left on the 13th October, in all 350 men, all Hokein men. The captain bought us for 11?, dols. each, from a Chinese. The captain paid each of us on board the above sum. We signed a paper to that effect. When we, went below, the Chinese who brought us to the ship took away 11,c 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, and 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 w C h a y n t e Ift of o food d oul d amongapp t e i a l e r t p h a a s t s e t n h g e e r r s e a a n s d a t g h e a n t e t r h a l e cr y o f quar rel arose from some misunderstanding between different sects among them.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. —Early on Monday morning, a fatal accident occurred on the Berks and Hants branch of the Great Western R a il wa y. 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 Basingst o k e on F r id a y evening, 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 about six o'clock with an engine, but had scarcely proceeded half a mile before a poor fellow had been deprived of life. The facts appear to be thehe : 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, thi n king 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 c' Accidental death."
