The reason this order, in reply to the remenstra. officials ; is that the stocks of .yarn are tocaeavil at Chatham, and that they are far in excess a those in the other yards, where machinery is not employed fol. the preparation of the material. Although rope-yarn is manufactured at £ll 10s. per tT ton cheaper at Chatham with the improved machi nery than at the other Royal dockyards under the 7. old system, yet, incredibl e as t h e statement rosy appear, the manufacture is to be carried on at the other dockyards, while at Chatham it is to be dis continued and the workmen discharged, although the latter were given to understand that their ser vices were permanently required. The Royal Alfre.l, 18, armoured wooden screw frigate, Capt. F. A. Herbert, flagship of Sir G. Rodney Mundy, 1i.C.8., went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning to Spithead, saluting the flag of the Port Admiral and Naval Coalman der-in-Chief in the usual manner as she anchored at Spithead, the Victory returning the salute. The Royal Alfred will make her speed trial at the mea sured mile to-morrow. Two of Martin's patent self-canting anchors, sup plied to the Admiralty for her Majesty's ship Pallr.s, and of the weight of 52 cwt. each, to replace two anchors at present carried by the Pallas, of 72 cwt. each, have just undergone their tests at Ports mouth dockyard, previous to their acceptance by the Adiniralty, in a most satisfactory manner. Both anchors were placed under the hydraulic machine, and the Admiralty maximum proof (43 tons) was brought to bear upon them without the slightest permanent deflection being exhibited after the strain was removed. At the request of the representative of the patentees 50 per cent over the Admiralty standard proof was then applied, the strain uponthe anchors then being increased to 65 tons, or equal.to the ordinary test by the Admiralty - of a 95 cwt. anchor. The deflection, with the strain on the anchor, in this instance was three-tenths of an inch on both arms, but on the strain being removed the iron resumed its normal position, leaving again no permanent deflection. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : —Thomas Robertson, m as t er , to the Zebra ; Matthew Kidd, chief engineer, to the Himalaya; and Charles H. Fanvel, clerk, to the Vellesley. ~~ _,.... _,-- ;-,:‘ ~,,,, 2, ~~j'" .5.L .... ... ..d 5 ,:v. 7 ,1 P....: f , ' Kt , • ": 'tt'l q 16;5 - la 1 1;4 411 V 1 41 41 4 .a . :,,,...- -- • h--' 9 r 4r s YItIC ld. STAMPED sd. in ostrich feathers hoar of the arrival of the steamer crowds of Arabs come to the ship and the hotels to sell, their feathers. The people at this place seemed to be ex pert swimmers. A small piece of money being thrown into the sea, near to the stearner,'one of them would dive,down after it, and come up in a very short. time with the piece of money in his mouth. The coaling. finished, we steamed away for Bombay. The heat on the Red. Sea was very severe, and tried some of the passengers. To relieve the tedium of the voyage the ladies had a concert in the even ings. On several occasions the gentlemen had a trial by jury at night in a part of the cabin where the ladies might not to be disturbed. The first case tried- was for breach of promise of marriage. During the examination of wit nesses there were roars of laughter. :Sundry explosions of soda water and lemonade bottles were heard. The case was adjourned for further consideration. Two or three days before we reached Bombay a meeting of the cabin passengers was held with the view of convey ing their thanks to Captain White, Commander of the Behar, for his kind and gentlemanly bearing, and polite attention to all the passengers during the voyage. A reso lution to that effect was submitted _by Col. Sawyer, C. 8., of•the , Ist Dragoon Guards, which was seconded by Col. Macleod, Adjutant-General, at Kurrachee, and which was unanimously adopted and signed by all , the cabin pas sengers:: We reaebed Bombay on the evening of the 26th Decem ber, having made the journey from Southampton in 29 days. Most of the passengers landed shortly after the steamer was brought to anchor. Numbers of ladies and geptlemen were coming on board to welcome and receive Mena. The meeting of married - ladies and husbands and lovers, and brothers and sisters, and friends, made it quite an exciting sight. Here, then, was the breaking up of our party, among whom, during the voyage, there was not &murmur or a single complaint. All seemed to be on terms of harmony and good-will. Most Of the passengers were for the Bombay Presidency, one or two were for China and the Madras Presidency and Calcutta. One other gentleman and myself had to go up the Indus by steamer from Bombay via Kurrachee to the country of the Five Rivers, he to join his regiment situated at Peshawur, under the deadly shades of the Khyber Pass, and I to Lahore, the capital of the province. Many of the pas sengers exchanged cards and addresses before parting, so as to communicate with each other when they would settle down in their new country. Then came the final parting, the shaking of hands, the "Good bye," and the " God bless you," and in the words of De Quincy, it may be truly said of the whole party, everlasting farewells. Never again shall we all meet in this world under the same circum stances. - The Late Terrific Gale. SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday. Yesterday morning Capt. Hurst, of Southamp ton, master of the schooner yacht Urania, owned by W. Wise, Esq., left for Folkestone, but in con sequence of the severe weather the vessel had been put about to return to this port. When nearing the Owers a ship in distress was perceived, which proved to be a brigantine bound to the eastward, that had struck on that fatal shoal, and had settled down so that her lower yards were under water. Her crew, which consisted of six men, were lashed to - the rigging. There was a very rough sea at the time, but Captain Hurst gallantly bore down to her, and arrived just soon enough to see one of the hands, who afterwards proved to be the mate, fall into the sea, thereby losing his life ; but the remaining five of the crew were rescued, and landed at Southampton the same evening. The vessel struck at 5 o'clock in the morning, so that the poor fellows were exposedto the inclement wea ther in their critical situation for nearly nine hours, and when rescued they were in a most exhausted condition. Several vessels passed them without ren dering any assistance, and great praise is due to Captain Hurst for his gallant conduct. SELSEY, SUSSEY, March 19. In Bombay harbour I observed mazy large ships, and a great number of open boats were coming from the shore, all loaded with cotton. Great activity prevailed among the shipping. On the beach were mountains of cotton waiting to be shipped for England.. On my reaching the Hotel I found every room occupied, and had it not been for the exertions and kind influence of a fellow-passenger I would not have beiii able to get a bed. I arrived in Bom bay during the share mania ; the trading community was wholly engaged in the share market ; the charges for everything were fabulous; the hotels were crowded to excess, and the attendance was very bad ; the rooms and beds ware most filthy; the food very inferior and badly cooked. I visited the railway stations and saw the pas senger trains arrive aid depart. There were crowds of passengers, .vho were very quiet and orderly. I saw goods trains, and every waggon was well loaded and full of cotton and general merchandise. It was said all over Bombay the railway companies could not meet the wishes of the trading community, arising from a defi ciency of rolling stock. Parties in the country had to wait for weeks before they could get their goods sent to port for shipment. The passenger trains were well filled with first, second, and third-class passengers, particu larly the third-class. The Parsee ladies rode by train, with their faces uncovered, a proof that cast in Bombay is gradually giving way to modern customs. There aro many young ladies coming from all parts of the old country to get married in India. I should strongly recommend them to make every possible inquiry as to their route to India previous to their leaving home. I was astonished and very sorry to learn that this had been ne glected in many cases. Some young ladies landed in Bombay who ought to go to Calcutta, and others want to Calcutta wbo ought to land at Madras. A public inquiry office for India, perfectly independent of all the railway and other companies, with a gentleman having a local knowledge of India at the head of it, would be a great boon to lady travellers. I write this for the ladies, and I sincerely hope that the traffic of young ladies going to the far East to join their lovers will increase every year, and that the cry may be among all bachelors— " Still they come." My next letter will contain my notes from Bombay via Kurrachee, Kottree, up the Indus, to the province of the Punjaub. The brigantine Sarah Ann, from Jersey to London, with a cargo of broken granite, was wrecked yester day on this place (reports Herbert C. Foster, Esq.) The Friend lifeboat, of the National Lifeboat Insti tution, was launched through a ♦ery heavy surf, and succeeded in saving the whole of the crew—six in number. As soon as these men were landed signals of distress were heard from the Cowers lightship, and the lifeboat proceeded to a second vessel, which had struck on the shoal near the lightship. Owing to the heavy sea, and the adverse wind and tide, the boat was some time in reaching the wreck, and un happily, when she arrived there, it was found that all hands had disappeared, and that only the ves sel's masts were visible above the water. The life boat behaved admirably in the breakers. The cost of this lifeboat was contributed to the Lifeboat Society a few years since by members of the Society of Friends, and she has been the means of rescuing the crews of 13 men belonging to wrecked vessels. A RAILWAY MAN. Naval and Military Intelligence. It has been notified bythe Quartermaster-General of the Forces that the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, on their arrival in England early next month, will be quartered (dismounted) at Colchester, instead of 1 the 14th Hussars, originally ordered to that station. 1 An order has been received at Colchester from the Horse Guards countermanding the departure of the depot, 2d Battalion 6th Regt., for Ireland, but 50 men—transfers from the 2d Battalion 6th Regt., to the Ist Battalion 6th Regt 4 —are held in readiness to proceed to Fermoy. The headquarters of the 2d Battalion 6th Regt. are on their passage home from Jamaica. The depot of tha 6th Dragoons, stationed at Canterbury, is expected at Colchester on the departure of the Ist squadron of the King's Dragoon Guards for Aldershot. The movement of the last-named regiment to Aldershot wiil com mence on the 25th inst. Major Coxon, late Adjt. of the 2d Depot Battalion at Chatham, has joined the garrison at Colchester, and Capt. Northey has been ordered to proceed to Chatham to assume his duties as Adjt. of the 2d De d ot Battalion, vice Coxon, promoted. Lieut. Saville, 18th Foot, has been posted to the 2d Battalion of his corps, and has joined the depot at Colchester. Lieut. Orange, 2d Battalion, 16th Regt., is held in immediate readi ness to embark for the service companies of his re giment in Canada. The army has sustained a loss by the death of Col. Alex. Essex F. Holcombe, on the Bth ult., while in command of the 2d Battalion of his regiment in camp at Soojut, on the march from Bombay to Nus seerabad. The deceased served with the 13th Light Infantry, and highly distinguished himself in the campaign in Affghanistan from 1838 to 1842. He was present at the suppression of the Sepoy mutiny at Sukkur in 1844. He served in the Crimea from the 30th of June, 1855, and at the siege of Sebastopol ; and also from Nov. 16, 1858, to March 16, 1859, with the Berar field force, which took the field for the purpose of preventing the rebel chiefs Tantia Topee and Feroze Shah from penetrat ing into the Deccan.

Upwards of 2,000 stands of the newly-converted rifle have been received at Chatham from Enfield, upwards of 100 barrels of the new ammunition hav ing been landed at the Ordnance wharf some time s i n ce. It is intended by the authorities to arm the infantry at-Chatham with the breech-loading Snider rifle as soon as the Enfield rifles now in store can be converted. The Lords of the Admiralty, having decided on forming a permanent battalion of the Royal Marines Light Infantry in Ireland; the selec tion of the officers and non-commissioned officers who will comprise the staff of the battalion is now being made from the Chatham and other divisions. Orders were yesterday received at Chatham from the Horse Guards, directing a detachment of 23 non-commissioned officers and men of the Ist Bat talion of the 10th Regiment to embark for the Cape of Good Hope to join the service companies of that iregiment. Lieut. R. M. Dickinson has been ordered to embark with the detachment. WRECK OF THREE SHIELDS VESSELS AND APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE. (From the Shields Gazette.) The equinoctial gales which have swept over the north-east since since Friday seem also to have ex tended to the Channel, where they have been severely felt. It appears that on the 13th and 14th inst. a large fleet of grain -laden vessels from Black sea ports arrived at Falmouth for orders, and were at anchor in the bay. During Saturday night a terrific gale from the eastward came on, and much damage oc curred to the grain fleet. One vessel, the Sea Spray, Capt. Jewitt, which arrived from Enos on the 14th, and was waiting for orders, drove during the night upon the ship Columbia, and sustained such damage that she foundered at the eastern breakwater. The Russian ship Ophelia, Brunston, from Odessa, an chored in the b ty, had to cut away her masts, and part of her crew were landed. The Portuguese brigantine Theria was stranded on Trefusis Point, from which there is little hope of getting her off again. was s ro t m he Euphrosyne, d " crew e of 13 hands, including the master , mhroonsygutel:eofvNesoserltsh Shields,waiting which for ordersriv wd Odessa on the 14th.

T he ca p tain and two men are saved. " This telegram was received by Mr. Thomas Knox, r Sunday.—Euph rosyne of Nile-street, North Shields, brother-in-law of the c aptain, and owner of the vessel, and came to hand close upon a letter which had been received from the captain's wife, assuring her relatives that she had enjoyed her trip to Odessa. The vessel sailed from the Tyne about the middle of June last for the Black Sea, under the command of Capt. William G. Creigh, of West Percy-street, North Shields, brother in-law of the owner, his wife and second son, a boy of seven or eight years, accompanyng the vessel as passengers. The following is a list of the crew who signed articles to sail in the vessel on the sth June :—Wm. Brown, 33 years, belonging to Dun dee, mate ; John S. Newman, 47 years, Yarmouth, boatswain ; Wm. Hedgers, 22 years, Hamburg, car penter ; Thomas Newman, 41 years, Yarmouth, cook and steward; August Sterling, 25, Heligoland; Wm. Mortimer, 47, Bristol ; John Rowley, 21, North Shields; John Deans, 16, Edinburgh ; Jas. Smith, 16, Edinburgh ; Alex. Doctor, 16, appren tice; James Cullan, 17, apprentice; John Richard son, 23, Perth. The Euphrosyne was a barque of 387 tons, and was launched on the Wear in 1853. 'Mei°Rowing telegram has been received in North Shields from the owner of the Euphrosyne at Ply mouth :—" The boat capsized ; ten men, master's wife and child drowned. The master, mate, and the boy Coulbert saved." A reference to the above list of the crew will show that the m.►te was Wm. Brown, belonging to Dundee. None of the boys in eluded in the articles were named Coulbert, and this is probably an error in transmission. It is supposed that the vessel drove from her anchors, that the crew took to the boat, which was capsized, with the above melancholy result. Mrs. Creigh, the cap tain's wife, was in her 37th year, and had a family of three children, of which the second accompanied her on the voyage to Odessa. By the Ist of March 300 sail of fishing vessels were expected on the Newfoundland banks, employ ing nearly 3,000 men. All the wharf room in the Gloucester harbour has been taken, and a num b er of new wharves will be built the coming summ er. The best trip of the winter fishing vessels thus far is that of the schooner Nellie May, Captain Brown, which brought 15,000 pounds of halibut, and 5,000 pounds of cod fall into port. Considerable surprise has been occasioned at Chat ham dockyard by an order received from the Ad miralty, directing the discharge from that establish ment of the whole of the women employed in the rope-spinning department of the yard, the number Who will thus be thrown out of employment UTITAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION rlconroorlted by Aot of Yarliammt, I4SOI. 4 4 RII3SELL-STREET.

As you were good enough to give me permission to ad dress you with a few °Pilaf notes and draughts while on my journey to the country of the five rivers of the Punjaub, I shall send you this, my first letter, from the Murree Hills, in the Himalayas. I shall endeavour to write you as briefly as I possibly can. I shall simply refer to the ports or towns touched at on the sea voyage to Bombay, and the overland route across Egypt. I sailed from Southampton on Sunday morning, the 27th November, 1864, by the steamship Ripon, one of the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Company's ships. There were a large number of passengers —first and second class, or first cabin and second cabin passengers. In the first cabin there were a goodly number of married ladies going to join their husbands. Three young and beautiful brides— young ladies going to get married—and sisters to join their brothers. In the second cabin there were a number of re spectable ladies and well-behaved children, and a number of well-to-do tradesmen, artizans, and railway servants. As soon as we got out of the dock, at Southampton, and fairly into deep water, the band belonging to the ship played lively airs till luncheon time. Most of the cabin passengers were on deck, some in groups and some alone, all looking stedfastly on the laud. Some of the passengers I heard say, with tears in their eyes, "The dear country— the old folks at home are thinking of me," and "Dear old England." All seemed to sigh Amen to these words. Very few of the passengers went down to luncheon, ladies and gentlemen still looking on the laud from which they were to be separated, most for a time, and sonic for ever. A few passengers were entered for intermediate ports — such as Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexandria. We touched at Gibraltar after a most beautiful sail over the Bay of Biscay —and landed our passengers—the Rev. Mr. Berthou, vicar of Itomsay, his lady, and three daughters. The vicar read prayers, and was most agreeable and affable to all the passengers. There landed also several young officers to join their regiments, and civilians iu the pur suit of health. Our stay at Gibraltar was very short, and we then steamed away for Malta, where the greater number of the passengers landed. It was about 9 - o'clock at night when we arrived ; the night was dark, and it rained in torrents, with a strong wind, which rendered it difficult to land. Our stay at Malta was short —only a couple of hours or so, to deliver and receive the mails. Most of the shops were open, though so late at night, and the lady passengers, I observed, were busily engaged in investing money in Maltese crosses and other trinkets and ornaments. There are some noble buildings in Malta. I was directed by the purser of the Ripon to visit the New Opera House, which was being built. I saw it by moonlight. The walls were finished, and it was covered over. Tho approach, or grand entrance, was very imposing. 1 was desirous to see the library, but it was too late. St. Paul visited Malta, and it is, in many respects, a place of note. I visited the Peninsular and Oriental offices, to which I was led through an iron gate. On entering I ascended a flight of stone step stairs. On the first stop, or passage, in the corner of which I saw something dark—an object like a small bundle of clothes ; and as it was dark, I was told to take care and not to step on or touch it. What is it, may I ask ? My guide in formed me that it was an old lady, who had permission from the agent of the Peninsular and Oriental Company to sleep in that corner on the stones, in preference to lying outside the gate in the streets, as she had no home or friends to look after her, and she was very old. After seeing the English newspaper I went over the offices of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, and they had all the evidences of business and order in them, and the agent in attendance was most civil and obliging. On coming down t to where the poor old la d y la y I spoke to her, and gave her a small piece of m kept my hand with both her hands till she gave me her blessing, which was, , u o y e of Jesus bless you." Her little hands were so hard and e cold that they felt more like bones than human hands. I a n y. S good ho took God and he th money, t he M t andher could see by the light of the moon that, though so old, she had a pretty little face of her own. I have not forgotten her in all my travels; and if ever I visit Malta again 1 shall most certainly call for her. We hastened to the ship and went down a steep incline with many steps, and observed, here and there, several ,men lying on the pavement, and asleep. On reaching the boat there was much difficulty iu getting aboard, as the storm had in creased. Once on board, the bell rung, and we steamed away for Alexandria, where all our passengers landed. We had first to go on board a small steamer, which brought us to port, or the landing place. The band of the P. and 0. ship played the favourite air " Langsyne" as we wore leav ing her, which made us all feel the more sorry at parting with the noble ship, and the most civil and obliging officers and crow. Nothing could exceed the attention and the care which seemed to be taken of all the passengers. Some of the old gentlemen passengers looked sentimental at this our first seperation and farewells. The bulk of our pas songers were for India, who hastened with their luggage to the railway station, but some of them were to remain in Alexandria, and others who were to travel through Egypt for health sake remained on board for some time after the rest of the passengers had left, with a young gentleman, an invalid, in very delicate health. We were total strangers to each other, but I was much interested in him. I felt we should never again meet. He seemed pleased, I may say *Travelling Notes of a Journey to the Country of the Five Rivers—Province of the Punjaub, East Indies. By a Railway Man. delighted, when 1 promised to write his mother about him, which I did on the Red Sea, and posted my letter nt Aden. On my reaching the Murree Hills, in the llitnilayas, I eras honoured with a letter of thanks from his master, and at the same time informing me that her son had died in Egypt, while journeying up the Nile— •l The Angel of Death in the desert hath found him, And stretched him unknown on the side of the Nile." Though ho died unknown, and in a land of strangers, he was carefully looked after by a young Englishwoman, "who sat up with him three nights and nursed him like a sister." A paragraph appeared in one of the Loudon newspapers of my friend's death and funeral, particulars of which were supplied by Lady Duff Gordon to her mother. Her ladyship writes: "An Englishman died here the other day at the house of the Austrian Consular Agent. I was too ill to go to him, but a kind, dear young English woman, who was here with her family, in a boat, sat up with him three nights, and nursed him like a sister. " He was buried on the Ist day of Ramadan, where'. hey bury strangers, on the site of a former Coptic Church. Archdeacon Monroe read the service. Omar and I spread my old English flag over the bier, and Copts and Moslems helped to carry the poor stranger. It was a most impres-: sive sight—the party of Europeans, all strangers to the dead, but all deeply moved—the group of black-robed and turbaned Copts, the sailors from the boats, the gaily dressed dragomans, several brown-shirted Tellaheen, and the thick crowd of children, the expression on whose little faces touched me most of all. "As Moslems, Omar and the boatmen laid him down in the grove. While the English prayer was read, th% sun Went down in a glorious flood of light over the distant head of the Nile. " 'Had he a mother'? said an Abadeh woman toone, with tears in her eyes, and pressing my hand in sympathy with the poor, far-off mother of such a different race." His mother read this account in a newspaper, not know ing at the time she read it that it referred to her own son. I was deeply impressed with the life and death of my friend, though a stranger. Our conversation, which we had often together, led rue to think that he was full of hope of a bright future, when he would return to his family and friends in robust, health. Such is life— "as a tale that is told"— and the lesson is instructive, "to teach us to number our days, that we apply our hearts unto wis dom." I wrote from the Ilitnalayas for the name and address of the young lady who nursed my young friend, and was much pleased that she is now married, and lives in a city in the west of England. I thought that perhaps the young lady and her friends might continue their journey from Egypt to the land of the Nile—to the land of the East, the clime of the sun—so that I might know a little more of the closing scene of my friend's life. May the mothers and daughters of England be ever ready, whether in the dear old country or in the land of strangers, to per form acts of love and mercy—acts which may not be known to the multitude, but which shall be noted by the recording angel, and kept in everlasting remembrance ! As I know you feel like many others for the sufferings of the working classes of Manchester, you will be glad to learn that great activity prevailed in the port at Alex andria.' There was a goodly number of ships in the har bour, with a plentiful supply of open boats plying to and from the harbour and the ships with cotton. Every boat coming from the shore seemed to be loaded to the water edge with large bales of cotton. There were immense quantities of cotton bales piled up along the side of the beech or harbour, waiting to be shipped to English ports. Some of the lady passengers suffered from the effects of the voyage, and as they were all for India, we were desir ous we should all go together by the same train. Being a railway man, I went to the traffic manager, Mr. Betts, who kindly gave a separate carriage for the ladies to Cairo. I have much pleasure to note this kind attention on the part of the manager. The train started in the evening for Cairo, the speed of which was very slow, in comparison to our English mode of travelling. We met several trains coming from Suez and Cairo and different parts of the line with immense loads of cotton. I never saw anything like the goods trains—the cotton looked so high and so bulky—there being no tunnels or bridges to pass under the Egyptian line of railway goods of a bulky nature can be loaded much higher than in England. We arrived at Cairo at Midnight, and on reaching the hotel were told that every bed was engaged. After a good deal of running about—trying for beds—we succeeded to got places to lie in, with the stench near to our rooms most sickening. There I got my first lessons of the filthy state of the inns or hotels of the East; the eating, drinking, beds, baths, fleas, flies, and mosquitos of the gorgeous East must bo seen and felt to be fully known. The charges of the hotel for everything were sixty per cent. higher than the previ ous year. I asked the reason for raising the prices of everything. I was told that the cotton famine had to cause of it, the land - being principally taken up with th growth of cotton instead of grain and other articles o food. At Cairo there is a magnificent mosque, standing on a high ground Jr hill on the south of the town, and bazaar, and from the west end of which can be seen the Pyramids of the Pharaohs. The passengers from England that came via Southampton having arrived the first bad to remain in Cairo till the arrival of the passengers that wore coming via Mar seilles. As I came by the Southampton route, I had a day to spend, which I did by visiting the mosque and the bazaar. The former is well worth a visit. The building is very high and solemn ; its internal grandeur, with marble and other choice stones, marked with great beauty. Every one who enters it must feel at least grateful for the cool shade, if not a reverence and religious awe. On the right-hand side as we entered there were priests and others engaged in prayers. We conformed to the custom by allowing shoes or slippers to be put on. The shoes were made of red cloth. The bazaar was most filthy and close, with a peculiar and most offensive smell—a very suitable place, I thought, for the breeding of diseases of all sorts. I observed many of the men, and even little boys, had only one eye. In the hole of the eye that was missing were numbers of flies—iu fact the eye hole was full of them, and in no case did I see any one try to re move them. I was told that the cause of there being so many with the right eye out was that they might not be pressed into the army. Tho Pasha of Egypt, hearing of this, ordered a one-eye regiment to bo raised. It is said that " the Druses of Mount Lebanon are so much opposed to conscription that many men maim themselves in order to be rendered unfit for the army. Some i.ut out one eye so that it may be said they cannot take a good aim ; others cut their fingers in order not to be able to pull the trigger, and others pull out their teeth in order not to be able to bite tho cartridge, and so on. But the maiming system is practised more in. Egypt, where almost every second per son you meet has only one eye." As soon as the Mar seilles passengers arrived we all left for Suez by the same train, which went at a snail-like pace. The land between Cairo and Suez is very barren and desolate, with scarcely a blade of grass to be seen, or anything animate. The country on both sidos of the railway seemed to be one continued tract of sandy land and desolation. We aro told it was not so in the days of the Pharoahs, for it was rich in pasture, grain, herbs, and vegetables. Every acre of land near the Nile could be made by a regular system of irrigation to grow grass in abundance, and all other green crops. We stopped at the half-way station, and went to the refreshment house a place of simple pretensions—where we got bread, cheese, and English beer. The people in attendance there were very civil and attentive. In the little garden in front were a nice assortment of flowers, familiar to me as old friends. The auricula and polyanthus and many others were in full bloom, and looked beautiful and pleasing to the eye. In the shady end of the garden was a large hogshead full of water, which accounted for the healthy appearance and freshness of the flowers. It struck me, if a small garden is capable of producing such beautiful plants in a region so desolate, what might not irrigation do on a large scale ? There is plenty of water, and the genial and mild climate of Egypt is most favourable to the growth of green crops. The engine having taken in water, and the passengers their refreshments, we started for Suez, at which place we arrived at about three p.m. We had to remain a few hours till the steamer was coaled and ready to receive us. Sho stood about a mile or so out at sea. We dined at the hotel in an open square. Near to where we sat at dinner were five or six European females engaged in singing, and a tall Yankee -looking gentleman trying to take music out of a harp. The charges of this hotel were very high, caused, no doubt, by cotton, or the American war, &G. We got informa tion that the steamer was ready, an d we hastened on board a small tug boat, which conveyed us to the Behar steamer, one of the Peninsular and Oriental ship; Captain White commander. As soon as the berths wewe arrang ed we steamed a wa y for Aden, which place reached about four in the morning. Everything on board the ships in the Red Sea appears to be Indian. At Aden it blew fresh, and as the ship had to be coaled here to bring her to Bombay it would occupy some time, and the passengers landed to avoid the coal dust. The wind being high blew the dust into all the cabins, and every place was smothered with dust. I omitted to state that when at Suez it was my icteution to visit the Suez Canal, and give you an account of the works, but time would not admit of my visiting it. I shall write fully on this important work on my next visiting Suez. From inquiries, however, made I learn that the works are being prosecuted with vigour, and that great hopes are entertained of the canal being opened for traffic at no distant period. Aden looks like a place that has undergone some fiery ordeal by some convulsion of nature. Everything looks burnt. Not a blade of grass could be seen. Tho fortress is some two or three miles from the harbour. The P. and .. 0. have a large depot for coal here. As 00011 as the dealers DIRECTORS. Captain Wm. A. Rumberlow Pearse.

MANAGER AT THE MINES. Capt. R. Rowse, Mining Engineer. • SECRETARY. William Henry Harden, Esq. REGISTERED OFFICES. 5, Batavia Buildings, Hankins Hey,,Liverpool. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The object of the Company is to acquire three valuable mining properties in Carmarthenshire ; that is to say, New Nantymwyn, Gilfach, and Glan-Towy. New Nantymwyn is a continuation westward of the celebrated Nantymwyn Mines. These Mines have been worked to immense profit for centuries, and appear to be perfectly inexhaustible. Somaidea may be formed of the great value of these Lodes from the fact that they occupy a channel of 180 feet in width, consisting of six divisions or lodes, and that a sink on one of them is now yielding eighteen tons of rich quality ore, worth upwards of £2OO per fathom for Lead. 2cily. The Gilfach property consists of a Lead Mine, worked to some extent and furnished with water machi nery, in which a discovery of Lead Ore has been made by an Adit. It is proposed by the Company to extend the shaft down Wards on this course of ore, as well as to ex plore another discovery of ore in the sett on the Lady Eliza No. 2 Lode,where there is a good back of ore ground cropping up to and extending a considerable length along the surface. 3dly. Glan-Towy is an old Lead Mine. Shafts, which have yielded Lead Ore in some quantity, exist on the top of the hill, and the present Company propoe to drive an Adit to prove the value of the Lode under the old sinks. Plans taken from the Ordnance Survey, showing the ex act position of. the Lodes, together with ground plans of the estate sections of the Mines; and reports by skilful mining engineers, are appended, and will be forwarded oa application to the Secretary. Specimens of the ore may be seen at the Company's Offices. Taking into consideration the position of the Mines, the highly favourable prospects, and the return of ore being immediately available, the Directors feel confident that, with the outlay proposed, -profits equal to the adjoining mines will be participated in by the Shareholders. Applications for Shares, to be accompanied with the deposit of ss. per Share, may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, or the Bankers. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
