STEN ING EDITION FLOGGING THROUGH THE FLEET. An unfortunate creature, destined by merciless judges to undergo this butchery, has nothing on but his trou sers, and a blanket thrown over his shoulders, which is removed and replaced at every ship alongside of which punishment takes place. The poor fellow has, perhaps, 600 lashes to receive, which is equal to 5,400 stripes ; and, supposing there are twenty commissioned ships in port, he receives thirty lashes at every ship. The victim is placed in the barge, which is a large boat, (towed by another), with an officer, a file of marines, a surgeon, a master-at-arms, and a drummer, in the bow, beating ," The rogue's march ;" and a boat , with an officer and file of marines, attends from every commissioned ship under the jurisdiction of the Admiral of the port. In this barge are erected triangles, to which the wretched mortal is tied during the horrid infliction of flagellation by two boatswains' mates from every ship, till the whole unishment, or human mangling, is concluded ,— t he hands being all turned up to witness it. The shrieks of the suffereryemercy, as the flesh is torn from his back by the fell - cat, are unheeded by his merciless tormentors, nor is it till nearly dead that the lacerated, broken hearted, and once brave seaman, is released from torture and sent to the hospital. Should he recover, he is never the same man again ; but is possessed with hatred to his Officers, disrespect to his country . (which . tolerate cruelty), and detestation to the service to which he bit longs. Such is a true picture of naval punishment during the late war ; and the army endeavoured to keep pace with it, particularly abroad, where it has been no uncom mon thing to have seven pair of triangles going at the same time, the punishment regulated by tap of the drum. Many now living, both officers and men, know this to be no fictitious tale, but one that would bear a still higher colouring ; and those who commanded and witnessed such barbarity. must ask themselves a few queitions rela tive to the - just law that tempers mercy with justice. Many have already paid that debt to nature that is re quired from all. Many still remain, whose duty it is, as they hope for mercy, to assist in wiping away the stain from the British Service, that we may not have a repeti tion of those scenes which are a disgrace to nature and humanity, and which the people of the enlightened age we live in never would again permit to be practised with impunity. The few are dependent upon the multitude, not the multitude upon the few ' • and all are the children of one earthly and one heavenly Parent, to whom all should bow in humble submission, and endeavour to imi tate His blessed attributes of mercy, love, and charity ; and study so to abound one toward another.—Philanthro pist's Magazine. USURY LAWS.-REVENUE. TO THE RIGHT HON. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. As it is your duty, and must be your anxiety, to attend usefully to the revenue of this country, you will feel no offence at a few hints from a friend, however humble or, common-place. It will not be denied that the greater the con sumption 'of taxed commodities, the greater will be the amount of revenue, or that the power of obtaining money at a moderate rate will increase the circulation, and consequently the consump tion of taxable commodities. These premises being admitted, and in fact they are indsputable, I would ask what is the cause of the general mass of the people being so utterly destitute of money as they now are ? That they are so, and to an extent never before known, all tradesmen and professional men can, if they please, testify. - Who will raise money for trading or other legi timate purposes at 40, 50, 60, and upwards per cent ? None but persons in desperate circum stances will do so, and. then only to stop a yap, as it is familiarly called. That this system is become universal, every tradesmen (unless he is himself a usurer, of which there are many), will admit. Instances of such horrible imposition could be produced, that it would surprise even the advocates for what they call free trade in money, but what I call legalized plunder. The effect of such a course has been, to lock up the capital ; those who have money with holding it until they can dole it out to their wretched countrymen at a ruinous rate of inte rest, and those who want it only borrowing from absolute necessity, and from an immediate and pressing occasion. No man will borrow at the rates now demanded for the common purposes of trade r or for the common purposes of Money is in this way taken out of circulation, and the consequences are, that trade is diminished, the consumption of the necessaries as well as of the luxuries of life is enormously decreased, and the revenue, of course, suffers in a propor tionate degree. Do not believe what I say, but inquire and investigate, not among what is called the monied interest—such as bankers, stock-jobbers, bill-brokers, or even pawnbrokers, who are making their fortunes out of this system of legalised extortion—but among the general class of tradesmen, and respectable professional men.. _ _ _ Pawnbrokers were allowed by law 201. per cent. upon their loans in that character, but find ing that tkey'can get three times the amount by the new System, they make a secondary matter of their paivnbroking business or give it up al together, and become solely bill discounters. Now, Sir, a repeal of the " repeal law" will remedy this evil, increase the circulation of money, and the revenue will be benefited, pro bably to the full extent you require. M. EAST INDIA. Copy of a Despatch, dated the 31st day of March, .1641, from the -- Court of Directors of the East .India Company to the Goveinor-Generrl of India in Council, on, the subject of further separating the Government of India from all connection with the Idolatry and Superstition of their Hindoo and Maho medan Subjects. RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES OF THE NATIVES. In our despatch under date the 3d of March, in the Revenue Department (No. 2. of 1841), we expressed our satisfaction at the progress made, under the presi dencies of Bengal and Bombay, for effecting a final and complete separation of Government from all share in the management of, the affairs of native temples ; and we observed that the same principles were equally ap plicable to the presidency of Madras, and desired that they might be acted upon at that presidency accordingly. 2. We - now advert to the attendance of troops or of military bands at native festivals or ceremonies, and to the firing of salutes on occasions of that nature, which practices, though not expressly mentioned in that de spatch, are to be dealt with so as to promote the same object, viz., that of separating the Government and its officers, as far as possible, from all connection with the ceremonies of the Hindoo and Mahomedan 3. With that view, we refer you to our instructions conveyed in the political despatch to Bombay, under date 3d of March, 1841 (No. 3), para. 9, in which we de sired, with respect to certain festivals greatly respected by his Higl".eio4 the Guicowar, " that the attendance of British functionaries or troops at the processions them selves, or on the spot when any of the religious cere monies are performed, shall not be resumed ; but that the attendance shall be given, and the marks of respect paid to his Highness at his Palace, on the occasion of his going forth and returning." Our wish is that this rule should be made general, and accordingly applied to on all occasions upon which it has been usual to appoint escorts to native rank on their way to places of religious wOrsbip. - • JA "4. We further desire that no troops or military bands of music be called out, and no salutes ffred, in honour of the festivals,themselves. 5. With--respect to the decoration of idols and images, or the presentation of offerings to them, these ar e practices in which no one, in his capacity of an officer of our Government, can with propriety be re quired to take part ; they are practices which oh - vionsly belong to those only by whom the religious cere monies are celebrated ; and if they have not already been every where discontinued, in the case of our own functionaries, they must be entirely put an end to. 6. In conclusion, we need scarcely impress upon you the. importance of your carrying these instructions into effect in such a manner as to assure the natives that our Government will never fail to protect them in the exer cise of their privileges, and to manifest a liberal regard for their feelings.

The Council met on Tuesday—the Lord Pro vost in the Chair. _ On the minutes being read, Treasurer DRYSDALE objected to that part of them containing the resolution to petition Parlia ment in favour of the proposed modification of the Corn-laws and Import duties. Mr. LOTHIAN reminded the Treasurer that the minute had been executed, and the petition dispatched; and asked what was the use of dis approving of a thing which had already been done ? _ _ _ The TREASURER, however persevered, and read numerous extracts from speeches and letters of the late Mr. Huskisson, whom he greatly eulo gised as an authority on this subject, against the abolition of the Corn-laws; and from the evidence of various . corn-dealers before a Parliamentary Committee, against a fixed duty, and in favour of a sliding scale. He de clared that Mr. Deacon liume and Mr. M'Gregor, whose evidence before the Import Duties Committee has been so much referred to, knew nothing at all of the matter. After draw ing a fearful picture of the effects likely to be produced by the Ministerial measure for the modification of the Corn-laws, he concluded by moving the disapproval of that part of the minutes to which he had referred. Sir JOHN DALVELL seconded the motion. Mr. BLACK briefly replied to the various asser tions of the Treasurer; and remarked, that while he believed Mr. Huskisson had himself a thorough knowledge of the Corn-law question, vet knowing that he was addressing babes, he had given them milk such as they could bear. —(Laughter.) But if opinion was to regulate the matter, he could refer Mr. Drysdale to the opinions of Ricardo, Malthus, M'Cul loch, Merrivale (of Oxford University), and others who stood high in the ranks of political economists, and who were as great authorities on this question as Mr. Huskis son. Mr. Black concluded by declaring his ob jections to all monopolies whatever, and asserting that, with a free trade, this country had nothing to fear from competition from any quarter. On the motion of Mr. LOTHIAN; the debate was adjourned until the other business was finished. A letter was read from Mr. Macaulay, stating that it was not the intention of Government to in terfere with the system of Scottish banking at present. Some other business having been gone through, the Council adjourned for want of a quorum. SOLDIERS' CHILDREN. In the year 1837, two battalions of Guards— one of the Coldstream and one of the Grenadiers —were ordered for Canada. In the latter was a soldier, who had a motherless infant, a child about three years of age. Destitute and friend less, without a solitary commisserating individual (who had the means) to take charge of his help less offspring (which was not permitted, by the regulations of the army, to accompany its only surviving parent, when ordered into foreign ser. vice), the soldier knew not what to do. No asy lum was open,—no friend was near, to take charge of a child so young; but his comrades, who were to remain at home, proffered to keep the child in the regiment amongst them; but it being of so helpless an age, the father was riot satisfied with so general a care. The morning arrived, at which a separation was to take place—when he was to be severed from his little child, and still no asylum had been found for the comparatively orphan infant, although the parent had applied to every quarter for that purpose. No establishment for motherless or orphan infants of soldiers or sailors existed. The order was given to form i nto companies, and the wretched man, driven almost to desperation, torn from his little child; (ye that are parents, think and feel what he must have felt !) the word " March" was given, and he sunk, and was dragged (for walk he could not) to follow his battalion, leaving his forlorn and helpless infant to the mercy of that God who seeth not a spar row fall without notice. It was taken in charge by a sentinel, and afterwards placed in St. Mar tin's workhouse, where, if it lives, 'Us likely it I still remains.—Philanthropist. NEW SOUTH WALES. From Sydney the, papers reach to the 30th of Decem ber. Complaints and recriminations were still made about the deficiency of labour. But, according to the South Australian papers, which are bitter in their notices of the subject, the emigration of labourers from thence to Sydney was very considerable, doubtless because there was more employment and wages as good. The follow ing are the rate of wages as given seriatim in the Syd ney papers from New South Wales : " RATE OF WAGES IN SYDNEY. " The following is a list of the wageS at present paid in Sydney to tradesmen ; and, notwithstanding the depression of the money market, masters consider it a good bargain if they can secure the services of workmen at the wages sub joined.

A judgment of separation between a M. H. and his wife was pro nounced, and in the partition of their respective pro perties, the house in which they had lived together, was awarded to Mme. H. The husband, enraged at this de privation, resolved that she should not long have the enjoyment of her allotment. Waiting till the insurance which he had effected on the house had expired, he, in the night of the 13th instant, stole furtively to the pre mises, and set them on fire. Before sufficient assistance could arrive the whole were entirely consumed ; but some neighbouring buildings, which had been.caught by the flames, were saved. The vindictive man, seeing that his revenge was complete, and determined to deprive his wife of the gratification of seein g him punished for his crime; plunged a knife into his heart, and expired. By this last act of desperation he saved - himself from the vexation of knowing that all he had done was in vain, for the agent of Mme.

The saying of Talleyrand, that speech was given to man to hide his thoughts, was never better exemplified than by Sir Robert Peel on Tuesday night. The object of the orator was evidently to put forward just such a show of argument against the Ministerial measure as would afford his followers a plausible excuse for the vote they were about to give, without committing himself to any one principle or position which could en danger a Tory seat at the next election : in a word, to make such a speech that Lord Sandon may go down to Liverpool and talk of Sir Robert Peel's attachment to the principles of Huskisson, while Sir E. Knatchbull assures the Kentish• farmers of his unalterable attach= ment to the Corn-laws and the cause of monopoly. Is this a man to guide the helm of State in times like these ? A man who, in the mighty interests of this vast empire, in questions involving the welfare and happiness of so many millions of his fellow-countrymen, can see nothing but so many sorry clap-traps to be played off against each other, in a miserable electioneer ing juggle ? Can cunning save the country in the death struggle of foreign competition ?—can plausibility find food for the thousands who will be deprived of their daily bread if the Brazils treaty be suffered to expire ? can Parliamentarg jesuitry raise two millions and a half of money, or stave off the necessity of re sorting to new taxes if we refuse to admit foreign corn and sugar ? No one knows better than Sir R. Peel that the time has come when circumstances imperatively demand a decision between the opposing principles of monopoly and free-trade. The choice cannot possibly be many months postponed, between breaking with the monopo lists and adopting such measures as those which have been proposed by Ministers, or sacrificing. the foreign commerce of the country and making good the deficiency of the revenue by direct taxation. By staving off this decision, by throwing out plausible, ambiguous state ments, to hide from the country the real nature of the question, no single interest is served except that of the Tory party. It enables the Tories to go the hustings, and wear free trade or anti-free trade colours, according to the complexion of the constituency. TlMES.—Nothing can be stronger than the contr- ast between the calm, quiet, and cheerful confidence, w i t h which the whole Conservative party is lookin, , fr "forward to the approaching general election, and the f”.othy fidgetty, . buzz-and-bubble agitation of their poltieally-expiring opponents. They remind us of the s:eene which is apt to terminate a good day's sport at t i e dragging of a fish pond, when the fish begin to discover themselves pent up in shallows where they have not sufficient water to there is a violent spurting move or live. Inconti-,,e n ey and spluttering, an flapping of tails in the mud, which frightens all the 'ladies and little children, and splashes them with dit c ; and if some cockney greenhorn happens to be near,. he opines in his sapient mind that, with so much tossing and jumping about, some of the finny tribe must inevitably succeed in finding their way back into the pond. The event, however, convinces him of his mistake; the nets keep their place, not a with the less effectually because they make no noise ; in due time the spluttering subsides, the fish are quietly taken out and killed, and the cockney has the pleasure of eating some of them for dinner. Such, at this moment, is the position of the Melbourne Cabinet, in Parliament and in the country. The net of public opinion, having long since enclosed them round with meshes woven of their own misdeeds, has at last been drawn to land by strong and skilful hands. They lie gasping out of water, shut out from the confidence of the House of Commons, the vital element of their official existence, and are now making desperate but futile efforts to overleap the barrier. ADVERTISER.—So far as matters have proceeded, they certainly auguur well for the eventual triumph of anti-monopoly movement. The Ministry and the people go hand-in-hand. We do not doubt that the announce ment of the Cabinet's intention to appeal to the general sense of the nation upon the important change which they have undertaken in our commercial policy, will be received everywhere with enthusiasm. Now that the die is cast, and all indecision as to a dissolution of Par liament is at an end, the efforts of the people will be re doubled to reinforce Ministers. The great Westminster meeting gives cheering augury of devotion and unanimity in all classes of Reformers, and proves that Lord ohn Russell has at last hit upon the magical chord treat i s to soothe their jarrings, and allay their differences. With such a rallying word he, cannot fail. We rejoice to see that, as the 4'oolitionist diversion in favour of the Tories was stifled, so is the Tory pros pect of help from the Chartists. It has said much for the Chartists, and although some infatuated persons have endeavoured to neutralise the effects of Anti-Corn-law meetings, by moving amendments in favour of the Char ter, yet not a man has been found willing to stand up in support of the bread tax. One man, it is said, -was heard of by Mr. Cobden, of Manchester, bold enough to do so, and we recommend that he should be cherished as a curiosity, and sent to the congenial society of the last of the pigtails. But apart from this worthy (Dix is the name of him), east, west, north, and south, the people have the sagacity to perceive that cheap sugar, cheap timber, cheap coffee, and cheap bread, are more sub stantial and indispensable benefits than the " five points," nay, that their opposites are so combined with the power of their oppressors, that if they succeed in getting these they stand a better chance than before of getting en larged liberties. Cheap bread is indeed like the kin"-- dom of righteousness—seek it fi rs t, an d a ll th e rest will be given to us. POST.—The Ministerial Journals, in a most ranting and ridiculous strain, give the country to understand that a dissolution of Parliament is fully resolved upon. If it be, it is an unconstitutional and unprecedented course. The Government is beaten in a Parliament Chosen under its own auspices, and then it resolves to dissolve the Parliament instead of dissolving itself ! This, indeed, is something new, and furnishes a charming indi cation of the views of national freedom and constitutional practice which the Whig-Radicals have drawn from their Palace experience. But, notwithstanding all the fantastical flourishes of the Ministerial Journals—notwithstanding the palpitation and convulsive hurry and earnestness with which they exhort the people to agitate for the coming election—we do not at present believe that a dissolution has been resolved upon. We consider that all this is a mere trick to turn away public attention from the disgraceful circumstance of Ministers remaining in office without support from any quarter but that of the Court. Both Houses of Parliament are now decidedly against the Ministers, and the single elections which have now and then taken place within the last three months indicate with unmistakeable force and distinct ness that the country also is against the Ministers. And yet they stay in office ! What wonder is it that any sort of stratagem should be resorted to —any source of public excitement—to divert public attention from a state of things so dangerous to the working of our free Constitution, and so utterly disgraceful to the mean persons who, spurned and spit upon as they are, still cling to official advantage and emolument ? What Mi nisters may be driven to in the further course of their desperation, it would be in vain to attempt to conjecture, but we believe they are too well aware of the probable result to attempt a dissolution, so long as any other ex pedient remains possible. A dissolution ! The news is solve, at least so f a r as it may we fear too good to b e t rue . We y.dsh they would dis thing which we con s id er t be a dangerous innovation upon precedent an d j oe lawful to wish for any + onstitutional practice. But as to the party interes of the Conservatives, we have no he s th it e ati r on in se- • i sail that a dissolution would be greatly for ad- ' antage. .MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS PAY. TIMES.—The Exchequer Bill Market was in a more active state to-day than at any preceding period of the week, with a corresponding increase in the premium, in consequence of the still easier state of money at the 'Stock Exchange, while out of doors for commercial pur poses it appears to be as scarce as ever. The large, or 1,0001. bills, bearing 21d. interest, were last quoted Bs. to 10s. premium ; the 5001. bills, Bs. to I Is. premium ; and the small bills were done at I ls. premium, but Bs. to 11 s. premium was the last price. In the English Stocks the business was comparatively unimportant, with very little variation in prices. POST.—The permanent funds continue free from agi tation, and the Money Market proving less under the influence of pressure than it had been, Exchequer Bills and India Bonds have both realised higher prices. The defeat of the Ministerial schemes connected with the commerce of the country by the imposing majority wit nessed, seems, in fact, to have produced a general revival of confidence. It cannot be denied, however, that the most intense anxiety is expressed by men of business to ascertain what ulterior measures will be resorted to by Lord Melbourne and his friends, as a means of extricat ing themselves from the position in which their rashness has placed them. The failure noticed by us yesterday, as having oc curred in connection with the Brazil trade, is of more consequence than was in the first instance generally ima gined, and the event is one that few persons were at all prepared for. We understand, upon more minute in quiry, that the operations of the firm alluded to, were less with Brazil than with Columbia and Mexico. It is said, indeed, that they were almost exclusively with the latter countries. We learn with much satisfaction, by letters received this morning from Paris, that the French Government have come to an understanding with our own, respect ing the affairs of the River Plate, which will be equally useful to Buenos Ayres and the neighbouring republic of Paraguay. Both nations (France and England) have an extensive commerce in that quarter, and it is of the utmost importance to the subjects of each, that the complete pacification of the rival States should if possible, be effected, and we certainly con sider that it is so. We are assured, on what we deem to be go - od authority, that, as the result of several diplo matic communications which have passed upon the sub ject, instructions have been sent out to the British representative, Mr. Mandeville, to the effect that he shall use his good offices with General Rosas, and that he should co-operate with the French Charge d'Affaires in his efforts to bring about a reconciliation. The Euro pean Governments (French and English) have done no more than circumstances fully warrant, so far as they have been permitted to transpire, in suggesting, as we believe them to have done, to their respective Ministers that they consider the war between the two republics to have ceased. The public will probably hear but little more of the fitting out of ships-of-war and privateers in this part of the world for the present. SUN:.---The approach of the settling day in the English markets, conjoined with the peculiar position of politi cal affairs, has of course a tendency to check speculation in the funds, and even to retard, in some measure, the investments of the public, who cannot be certain: bow long it may be profitable for them to leave theii! : monez in stocks, even if they put it there. On the other hand the present dullness of trade catises u_sufficient number of temporary purchases to prevent any particular move ment m prices. The supply and demand are, in fact, pretty well balanced. We understand that the failure which has occurred in the South American trade has no reference to the Brazils, with which the firm in question was not connected, but principally with the Republic of Columbia. The amount of its liabilities are said to be very heavy. We may remark that a stoppage in the Brazil trade has not occurred for many years past. The fact of orders being in the market to purchase amounts of the floating debt has served again to buoy up the premium, which to-day went as high as 6s. and 10s. Of East India Bonds the current value was par to 2s. premium. Consols for immediate transfer were at 90 to 891, closing at 898 sellers, and for the Account at IN to 90. At one period of the day there were slight symp toms of a baccadation. Bank Stock was worth 168, East India Stock fluctuated from 2501 to 2514, the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 984 to 984, and the Three per Cent. Annuities at 88.1 to 4. A sale or two in Spanish Bonds in the early part of the day had the effect of depressing the price of the Ac tives ik per cent., viz., from 234 4 23 but the re trograde movement was occasioned as much from want of business as any thing else. Portuguese Old Five per Cents. were done at 62, and the New at 334. Rus sian Bonds were at 1124, and French Three per Cent. Rentes at 80f. to 79c. 75f. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were flat at 524 to 4. A limited business only was transacted in Railway Shares, and at barely the previous rates. Great Western were 281, the New 14, the Fifths 7, the L on d on an d Birmingham New 214, the Croydon 4, and the South Western 174 premium. Brighton Shares were 34, Man chester and Leeds 19, North Midland 29, and South Eastern 174 discount. London and Westminster Bank New Shares were at 2, National Provincial Bank of England at 4, and Union of Australia at 9 prem. The Foreign Exchanges were . wlthout any particular alteration to-day, but appear'A to have a downward tendency. On Paris, bill 1-. s at three months' date, were taken at 25f. 60c. to r, 2 2,, on Amsterdam at 12 3 1 , 4 on Antwerp at 12 3 on Hamburgh at 13 104 to on Frankfort at '1494 to 4, and on Trieste 9 59 to 10. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. 4 FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—As Mr. Thomas Blake, brewer, and Mr. Thomas White, ship-builder, were returning from Yarmouth on Tuesday evening, in a phaeton, the horse gibbed, and upset the carriage, throwing the gen tlemen out with great violence, and so seriously injuring them that they have been since confined to their beds, but we are happy to say no bones were broken, and that they are proceeding favourably.. The churcwardens of the parish of Northwood, as in duty bound, have been exerting themselves to obtain signatures to petitions in favour of the present Corn laws ; the one resident in Cowes succeeded in obtaining 17 names in three days ; but in that time one against these prohibitive laws was got up, and 100 signatures soon affixed to it, not only with the names but the resi dences added. There is a queer story from Newport, in 77w Sun of the 18th inst., of the Radical Members for Newport op posing the disfranchisement of 40 or 50 Conservative electors of that borough, when their return to Parlia ment would be secured thereby. We are of opinion that the declaration, or decision, of a score of Revising Bar risters, that part of Cowes was in the borough of New port (curious thought it is), would not go far to prove that the houses occupied by the electors were the property of the Corporation of Newport : if it did, how is it that all the houses in Newport that giie votes do not belong to the Corporation ? The whole paragraph is a very lame affair ; no attempt is made to contradict the statement which appeared in The Sun of the 13th inst. ; indeed that could not be contradicted, as it was only a descrip tion of the different clauses as they stood in the Medina Company's Bill. As to the inhabitants of Newport wishing (the Company wishing) to alter their river, they have the same right they have to alter any of their roads not at the expense of their neighbours ; and if there is any monopoly, it must be that of the Company, who wish to put a perpetual toll on all the goods landed at Newport, &c„ say on potatoes 3s. per ton, cranberries 3s. per barrel, other articles in proportion, being six !ii?ae4 what is charged in other ports. How the poorer )linabitants are to be benefited by this tax remains to be seen—the trade is not likely to be improved certainly by it. This country never looked more beautiful ; the white- thorn, now in full blOssom:clothes the woods and hedge rows in one sheet of white, and fills the air with its fragrance. The town is particularly healthy ; with a population of 5,000 we have had but three deaths in the last three months, and our medical practitioners, for want of better employment, are absent on visits to their friends. LAUNCH OF THE THAMES. Thursday was a day of bustle at the quiet village of North fleet, it being the day fixed for the launch of the Thames, the first of four large steamers in course of building for the " Royal Mail Steam-packet Company," by the contractor, Mr. Pitcher. The morning waslowering, with a stiff breeze from the south west and heavy showers, but at the moment appointed for the noble ship to take her native element, the sun shone forth with great splendour, and the " Thames," receiving her name from Mrs. Longland, the amiable lady of the Secretary to the Company, glided with matchless grace into the flowing stream, amidst the cheers of congregated thousands. It would appear that the Directors of the Company had intended to be present on this important occasion, but by some mismanagement, which we trust is not always their rule, they did not arrive at the scene until the gallant ship had been some time afloat. We could not have thought so great a company would have taken a little Greenwich boat for their excursion, when there are so many fine . vessels plying to Gravesend close to the scene of action. The following are the dimensions of the Thames : Length from fore part of stern at the bed of the bow- Feet. In. sprit, to the after part of the stern-post on the keel 215 3 Length between the perpendiculars........— ••• 213 Length of spar deck Length from fore part of the figure-head to the after part of the taffrail 245 Breadth moulded Brea , ith extreme Breadth for tonnage Breadth from out to out of paddle-boxes 59 Depth from lower side of main deck to upper side of floor or death in hold ... 23 3 Height of spar deck 7 The burthen is 1,285 10-94 tons; builder's measurement, 1,300 tons old measurement. The ship is now at Blackwall to receive her engines and fittings. We have yet to learn her power. The sister ships Aledway, Iris, and:Trent, building by the same enterprising contractor, are progressing. The Medway will be launched in about a month. Two ships intended for the Company have been launched in the Clyde, and another will float on the waters of Leith in the course of a few days, but we doubt if either of them are equal in beauty to the Thames. We could not help remarking that there was not one lady in the Company of the Directors, nor did we hear of any entertainment being given given in honour of the christening of this their first ship launched on the Thames. THE REVOLT IN EUROPEAN A TURKEY. The Austrian Observer contains the following official ar ticle upon the origin of the revolt which has broken out in Bulgaria, and upon the events which succeeded it : " ALexasassa, MAY s.—Two months before the revolt of the Rajas of the districts of Nissa, Kowacz, Pirot, Vranja, Prokopaczka, and Berkowacz, the most distinguished Bulgarians, namely, Miloje and Gavras, presented them selves several times at the quarantine of Alexanissa to com plain to the authorities of the acts of oppression perpetrated by the Turkish Governors, and to declare that they could no longer pay the taxes, which, notwithstanding the promulga tion of the hatti-scheriff of Gulhane, had been increased in stead of diminished. As the Bulgarians are a peaceable and industrious people, they employed the assistance of the Ser vian Government against the excesses of the Turkish Governors, and the licentiousness of the Arnaut troops. They were refused. They then procured arms and ammunition, and determined to re lt, and to send a deputation to Constantinople to lay a statement of their grievances before the Sultan. Miloje and Gavras were their leaders. They were determined not to use their arms unless their application failed, or that they were attacked by the Ar nauts. They sent deputations twice to the Pacha of Nissa to reclaim their rights, but they never could gain access to him. Unfortunately, the second day of the revolt, the Bulgarians seized a block-house -on the frontiers of Servia, and captured the fort of Akapalanka. In consequence of this movement the Pacha of Nissa set out in pursuit of Miloje, who had taken the road to Constantinople, together with thirty or forty persons. Miloje threw himself into the fort of Ka menitza. The Pacha of Nissa sent the Archdeacon of Bulgaria to him with several Christians and Turks, to invite him to surrender. Miloje not only refused, but shot two of the Turks who accompanied the Archdeacon. On the 25th ult. the Pacha marched towards Kamenitza with 10 pieces of cannon and some hundred Arnauts. He surrounded the fort and attacked it. Miloje having been wounded in the foot by a ball, drew a pistol from his belt and killed himself. A part of his escort surrendered, the remainder fled into the fo rest. The Pacha gave orders to the Arnauts whom he had brought ;tom Piron and Les-Kowacz to burn all the villages in the revolted districts, and to put the inhabitants to the sword, or bring them prisoners to Nissa. This order was exe cuted in the most cruel manner. The Pacba, who fears the Sultan's anger, in consequence of the atrositets manner in which he treated the Christian population of Bulgaria, threw 17 of the principal merchants into prison, in order to force them to declare that the Pacha was not to blame for the re volt which had broken out. It is probable that the Divan, when it is informed of the facts which occurred, hasten to adopt the necessary measures for restoring order and tranquil lity into Bulgaria, and for the protection of the lives and pro perties of the Christians against the tyranny of their governors." The Leipsic Gazette of the lErth instant states that the last letters from Belgrade announce that the utmost excitement and discontent prevailed in the towns of Sophia, Philippipol, Servez, Salonica, Britoglia, Janina, and Avlana. A new tariff, impsing a duty of two per cent. on all export., had enraged tlys Rajahs beyond measure. Accounts from Niikmentioned that out of 150 villages only 20 had escaped destgtorion. , The Pasha had refused to allow any deputation to proceed to Con stantinople. It was considered unfortunate that there was not any European Consul residing at Nissa, or in any of the Bulga rian towns.

THE SHOREHAM ROAD.— The Shoreham Road Bill went into a Committee of the House of Lords on Tuesday, when, after Council had been heard at great length, it was determined to introduce a clause enabling the Railway Company to lay down rails and cross the read on a level, and also to strike out the clause prohibiting the erection of a gate neares Br , ghton than Hove. As the latter is a money. clause, it is neesssary that the Bill should go back to the Commons ; and as the trustees will not do this, the result is that the Bill will be abando.led, and the road will be left in its present' wretched state. Thouh it was a somewhat unusual course for the Lords to introduce the clausegiving the Company power to lay rails across the road, it serves the trustees per.. fectly right. They were offered the most liberal terms by the Railroad Company for the use of the road-no less than id. on every ton of goods, with the find understanding that the carriages should be drawn by horse-power, and never make the transit before sun-rise or after sun-set. - These terms the :trustees refused.
