MELBOURNE, Nov. 11. In my last I mentioned the nature of the bill which had been introduced into the Legislature of the colony by the Executive Government to super sede the " Act for the Apprehension of Convicts Illegally at Large." Tho last-named bill expired on the 31st of October, consequently no means exist by which the exclusion of the worst of the convict class from this colony can be effected. The technical objection urged against the expired act was that it violated the Q LICCH ' S prerogative of mercy. This is not the a cfe in which measures of an important character can be disposed of by a mere technical objection. The colonists say, and say truly, that it is absurd to fall back on the preroga tive, if, by pressing the same to its extreme limits, treat evil will be done to the colony. The pre rogative should only be resorted to in order to pro mote the public good, and when it is found to work evil it should be thrown overboard, or rather aban doned by the Crown. Tho substantial objection to the old act is, that it caught only the best disposed of the convict class, leaving the worst characters at large ; and this also is quite true. The well-disposed conditionally pardoned man who desires to come here embarks on board a steamer at Launceston or Hobart-town, and comes openly to Melbourne. He lands on the wharf, and is at once seized by a policeman, while the escaped convict, and all the bad characters, embark, not at Launceston, the great northern port of Van Diemen's Land, but at some western port in Bass's Straits, and then, taking advantage of the prevailing west wind, pass .to the eastward of Port Philip-heads, and rand at Western Port, from which place they spread over the country unmolested, " sticking up" the Queen's lieges, and paying their way by their depredations. A word or two about this same " sticking up," of which your readers may have heard much. It is thus managed :—The " old lags" join and form a party of four or more ; one watches up the road, one down the road. When the intended victim roaches a point between the two armed men who have been "planted" to keep a good look-out, he is met face to face by a ruffian armed with a "revolver." Perhaps a whistle or some other sig nal gives the victim a painful conviction that he is surrounded by unseen revolvers. The ruffian tells him to hold up his arms, or he will have his " nob scuttled." He is further threatened with having his brains blown out if he attempt to lower his arms (or fins.) A low whistle brings up the " pal," and the pockets of the victim are rifled. This is the mildest case. Sometimes robbery is accompanied by violence. Now to return to Sir Charles Hotham's bill. Your readers will remember that it proposed to establish commissioners at Launceston, Hobart town, and other places, to grant certificates of good conduct and passports to such men. Sir Charles seems to have forgotten that he was legis lating out of his jurisdiction, and that the other Governments, that of Van Dieraen's Land espe cially, would thwart him in every possible way. The passport was to be granted on the certificate of two magistrates. How could Sir Charles com pel the Van Diemen's Land magistrates to enter upon the duty at all ? It was- clear, therefore, that Sir Charles's Government would have to de pend on that part of his plan which was to be executed here. But Sir Charles has been met by an unantici pated opponent. The Legislature of Van Die men's Land has taken the matter up, and a bill has been introduced "for the prevention of fraud by persons assuming to be commissioners for the issue of passports." By this bill Charles Hotham's Commissioners are subjected, upon conviction, to " imprisonment, with or without hard labour, or solitary confine ment, for one month for every offence." All per sons assisting them are to be subject to a fine of 100/. Some people think this bill was the work of Sir Wm. Denison. Sir William is the bete noire of the A nAtralians, and I believe they secretly think he has a cloven hoot under his boots. But Sir Wil liam was innocent of it. He is not a man of fine and judicious expedients. Clothed with irrespon sible power, and having no occasion for a very fine judgment, intensity of mere volition is his strong point. His mind is utterly incapable of a piece of finesse like this. It is the unassisted work of one of the memL•ers for the northern side of the island. Of course it cast great difficulty in Sir C. Hot ham's way, and the gentlemen who surround him are not the people to aid him with wholesome ad vice. The expedient hit upon was this :—a mem ber named Nicholson, who has been lately mes merized by a few dinners at Government-house, brought in a new bill, and it is supposed that Sir Charles will allow his own bill to drop and accept the one I allude to, as the voice of the people. I must hero remind your readers that while all this was going on the Council of Van Diemen's Land was petitioning the Queen to convert all the condi tional pardons into free pardons. Nicholson's bill (of which also I send a copy), you will find, meets this, by extending the penalties of the former act to persons at large in Victoria who had before been convicted of any crime. This bill will pass by large majorities at every stage. It brings Sir Charles Hotham into conflict either with the Colonial-office or the people of Victoria; but Van Diemen's Land will throw its weight into the former scale. There is a good deal of speculation as to how Sir Charles will act. He is very close on the matter. No one even pretends to know. If he accept Nicholson's bill, he embroils himself with the Home Govern ment, backed by Van Diemen's Land ; if he reject the bill, he comes into conflict with his own colony. How will he decide ? His position is certainly one of considerable difficulty —a legacy left him by the Government of his predecessor, and one which may yet wreck his Administration. - The New South Wales papers are beginning to annouice a fact which has been patent for some considerable time. The Australian markets are glutted with goods. This might have been as easily foreseen and foretold, and was in fact fore seen, in Printing-house-square as in this city or in Sydney. Tho present is the child of the past— "Le present est gros de l'avenir." High prices constitute the first link of a chain of causation which ultimately results in low prices, and the converse. When geld was discovered the Austra lian' markets were fairly stocked with goods, but not overstocked. The almost sudden addition of 3,000,0001. to the purchasing power of this colony would in itself have caused and justified a very con siderable advance in prices generally, and this advance was mach accelerated and increased by a large addition to our population. Immigrants poured in from all sources. Goods also were drawn hither by the increased demand, but they kept rather behind population. At last immigration declined, but importation continued, and now we have a glut of almost all articles of every-day use. The consequence is that a great number of small failures occur constantly ; but I have not heard of the insolvency, or oven serious embarrassment, of any merchants of note. These little failures have been much increased by the enormous rents charged for shops in the chief thoroughfares of this city. These rents the shop keepers cannot now afford to pay, and it has been the chief cause of the failures. Thus A, let us suppose, has a house and shop in a sort of colonial Regent-street ; it is his own, and he is therefore the receiver of his rents, concealed in the price he obtains for his goods. B has a similar shop, for which he has to pay 1,0001. or 1,5001. a-year by way of rent. Now, when bad tines come, the pro prietor A can afford to reduce his prices, so as almost to extinguish his rent. But B has to pay his rent, and therefore he cannot compete with his neighbour. The Sydney Herald complains of this state of things, arguing that the merchants of London and others always created this scarcity or abundance, and that now they ought to regulate their affeirs better. I suggest that it would be better to leave the business of regulating supply to the Sydney and Melbourne merchants, the London merchants only acting as agents. One evil certainly requires very great amend ment, and it is this :—An Australian merchant orders of an English house certain goods ; the English firm, being very cunning, makes up a similar parcel and consigns them to a house hero. This has been so extensively done, that it is clearly the great and most conspicuous cause of the gluts. There is so much of bad faith in this, that one ,cannot be sorry at the misfortunes of such houses. As a very natural - consequence of the low prices and diminished sales, rents hare greatly fallen. I heard of one case to-day of a large warehouse, or store, as it is here called, which was let last year for 2,0001., now being offered for 5001. The ware house-rent of goods has fallen from 2s. 6d. per ton per week to is., and some attribute their insolvency to this. All building materials are comparatively low as compared with what they were, so that a house which sine or teu ;11021t114 P 49 would hire cost 3,0001. to erect may now be built for 2,0001., or less. Dwelling-house rents some little way out of town are not much more than half of what they were. In 1852 a large number of persons—say about 70,000—were packed in rooms, outbuildings, and tents. Now all are limped. The wool-created town of 1852 contained about 27,000 ; in 1853-4 the number was computed at 75,000, all housed— partly in Melbourne, partly in the large and popu lous villages around. Building is still going on rather extensively. 'lt ought not to cause surprise if some of the building speculators fail. Land has also fallen in value very considerably. My own impression is that we shall have nothing at all serious in the way of commercial revulsion. The process of restoration will be rapid. In all countries low prices check supply and accelerate consumption ; but here we have another element —waste. It would be difficult to give your readers any adequate idea of the wasteful habits of the in dustrious classes and of servants ; nor are the su perior classes exempt. Some is inevitable. Thus, in England, when your boots get out of repair, you can have them renovated for, a fe w shillin g s. Here the bootmakers will not mend, so that the practice is to wear the boots as long as you can, and then throw them away. Even if you could get them mended, the cost would be more than that of a new pair ; and this is more or less the case with every article of household or personal ,utility. A sol dering hole in the old one. Thi s . d ou bl os the Itss than tin tea-kettle of English make , t o g s con sumption of tin tea-kettles, and the statement might be indefinitely extended. There is another very conspicuous feature in the trade here, which will tend to knock down rents and knock up the small tenant shopkeepers, The great difference between the wholesale and retail price of consumable articles induces people to estab lish a store-room, whereas formerly th e y li ve d f rom give an illustration. po l rt m er us c t an aga b i e n had at about 13s. 24 fo s u . ,r ox at I L i a e n n d d e t n o b m o o t u t l t e h d . ensend to your least ; 20s. The consequence is, that families are b eg i nn i ng t o pgrerecodroaznend in n e c c h as a e r s ge o s f purchase tea, sugar, coffee, rice, wine, beer, Vic., wholesale. Thus they decline to help the shop keeper to pay a high rent, mil the consequence is a considerable loss of custom. The decline of rents I take to be part of the process of restoration. The price of gold has continued for some time at 3/. 18s. per ounce. The banks draw on London at 5 per cent premium. At these rates gold cannot be deemed an article of speculation, but is, as specie is at home, an instrument foreffecting foreign ex changes. The above prices show conclusively a fully supplied import market. An increase of exports, or a falling off cf imports, would depress the exchanges, but I have no reason to believe that any increase of gold is at all likely. The diggers are now an experienced body, who pursue it sys tematically, and their production does not greatly vary. Your readers are aware of the loose way in which the Melbourne Post-office • has been carried on. Well, a short time since the Argus people found out that the Herald people were favoured in being allowed to receive their papers on Sunday when an English mail arrived. On inquiry, it was found that the Herald paid a gratuity for the privilege, or, as the phrase is here " squared " one of the Post-office clerks. Of this the Argus complained, when the Governor issued au order to the Post master directing him to deliver to the editors of papers their English papers on the arrival of an English mail on Sunday, adding, " besides the resident clerk, two or three must take it by turns to help." Now read the following copy of the im pertinent order issued by the postmaster on the subject : "By his Excellency's command the clerks, letter carriers, and messengers of the General Post-office are to hold themselves in readiness to attend at the office any Sunday they may be called upon to perform the special duty of sorting newspapers of the English mails for public convenience by furnishing the editors of the Melbourne journals with their files of newspapers by the mails arriving on the Lord's day." His Excellency wrote a minute, penned in a very calra and sensible tone, pointing out the discre pancy between his own directicsu " two or thr"a 10 sste.sa in turns," &mi the postmaster's order to all the clerks, letter-carriers, and messen gers (the bewspapers send to the post for ,their letters, &e.) Mae Governor then directs the Post master to recall his first order, and draw up an other embracing his Excellency's directions. The overland mail came in on Thursday, the 9th, bringing dates to the 9th of September. We are a little disappointed that nothing decisive has taken place in the Baltic or the Black Sea. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The Asia, British and North Americas Royal Mail steam-ship, Capt. E. G. Lott, arrived this morning at this port with the United States mails and passengers (123 of the latter), but no specie. She sailed from Boston at 10.25 a.m. on the 17th, and at 6.50 a.m. on the' 18th passed the Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, from this p o rt to Boston. She arrived at Halifax at 2,25 a . m . on the 19th, where she was detained 28 h ours by a ga l e an d fogs, and did not take her departure until 6.35 a.m. on the 20th. She encountered severe weather during the entire voyage. The Baltic arrived out at New York on the 11th. In the Senate, on the 15th inst., the bill for con tinuing the appropriation t o th e Collins steamers, for carrying the mail between New York aid.

Changes in the State and Trea sury Departments are expect e d t o ta k e p l ace i shortly, Mr. Marcy, tis said, only waiting for an opportunity to get a first-clas s m i ss i on to Europe. From Cincinnati it was learnt that John Mitchel was received at the Burnet House, on the 15th inst., by the mayor, the committee of the city coun cils not attending. A mass .meeting was held at Greenwood Hall the sa m e night, at whi c h the members of the city councils were d enounce d f or their action i n welcoming Mr. Mitchel to the city. The steam-ship Northern Li▪ ght arrived at Now York en the 15th inst., and brought rather more than half a million of dollars, 3 28,000 of which was shipped by Page, 'Bacon, and Co., an d con signed to their former agents in New York. By this arrival we have intelligence from Oregon and Washington territories, thelegislature s o f both of which assembled and organised. on the 4th ult., at their respective capitols. Intelligence from Havana is to the 11th o f J an . Senor Estrampes and Mr. Feli▪ x have been removed to the Moro Castle for more secure custody, pre vious to a trial. Mr. Felix has refused the aid of an officer, assigned by General Concha, in o r d er to conduct his defence before the milli ary tribunal, and rests his justification on several legal points, which are given. At the latest moment it was looked on as very probable that one or both of the prisoners would be garroted. Accounts from Caracas, dated 16th Dec., state that the same dismal picture of social. disorganisation_ summary executions and exe.cutive misrule, which have long prevailed there, is again. presented to view. Great preparations were being made to re ceive the newly-elected. president,.. Jose Ta deo Monagas, in something like imperial state. The paper currency was depreciated to the lowest ebb, and the bills were being bought up , b y agents of the Government. Cholera was devastating the eastern section of the country, and 800 persons had died in the city of Cumana in twenty days of the disease. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JAL 16. There is an increased buoyancy of feeling in the mar ket, as money is more plenty, and offered at easier rates. There is a considerable diminution in the amount of pa per offering at the note lirokere, and first-class- paper may now be obtained at 10 to 12 per cent. The Bank statement is unusully favourable, showing an increase of nearly two millions in specie. This of itself would be sufficient to create more confidence, and give fresh ani mation to the market, with greater inducements for capi talists to operate. BRHADSTIFFFEL—There is a fair demand for flour, and iu the absence of any special demand, either for export The subjoined telegraphic despatch from Wash ington in the New York Herald is a specimen of the description of news constantly foisted upon the people of the United States by a portion of the American press in reference to European affairs, with the evident intention of 'turning the current of sympathy against the Allied Powers : " Baron Meyendorf, the Russian Ambassador at Vienna, has communicated to the Russian Minister at this city a piece of information of the highest import ance. As my business is simply to deal with facts, I shall notnow enter into lengthy discussions. " The Baron describes an interview he had with the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, in which he (Meyers derf) is requested to express to his Majesty the Czar his congratulations upon the friendly feeling so generally manifested by the people of the United States for his imperial master's success. " Baron Meyendorf continues--' The present indepen dent stand of the United States is most graciously re ceived by his master, the Czar, who hopes fur a continu ance of it, as does also his Majesty of Austria.' "This I consider important; it is the secret of our Government's opposition to Clingman's resolution. The letter thus received has been read only by the President, Cabinet, and a few confidential friends in Congress, who all regard it in one light—as a friendly request from these powers for non-interference on our part in the pre sent war. What are the Allies to think of Austria's late treaty, when possessed of these particulars ? "I have a farther secret to communicate : " Upon the receipt in Europe of our recently-formed treaty with Russia, a correspondence took place between France and England, this treaty and the United States being the subject-matter of consideration. A check to the grasping avarice of the United States was determined on—a portion of the navy was immediately recalled— Lord Clarendon made public that France and England had in store a something for the United States after they bad beaten Russia. This scheme fell through upon the receipt of unfavourable news from the East." The New York Journal contains the following : " Several shipping houses in this city have for some ,time, been_ en aged in procuring guano from Isle Ayes, a email island situated in lat. 15, long. 61 2, about 400 miles from the coast of Venezuela, 200 miles mouth of St. Thomas, and 150 west of Guadaloupe. This island contains a large quantity of guano, and several cargoes of it have been rec.:ntly brought to this port. A few weeks since, while the craws of our vessels were engaged in securing their cargoes, they were driven away by an armed ship belonging to the Government of Venezuela, and the island taken possession of by a body of soldiers. Now, the question is, to whom does this islari4i belong Thera is an island called Ayes just off the coast of Vene— zuela, which undoubtedly belongs to that Government ; but the Isle Ayes we refer to w as formerly under the Danish flag, and has been claimed by the French. At all events, it is pretty =tails that Venezuela has no just claim to it." The Washington Union announces that the first portion of the Kinney Expedition (Central Ameri can Colonists) would sail from Baltimore on the 25th of January, the second a few days later from Mobile, and the third from Brazos Santiago ; 700 men go Out in these vessels. Colonel Kinney was to sail the beginning of February from New York or Philadelphia iu a first-class steamer. NATA.L AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Scindian convict ship arrived at Portsmouth on Monday night to embark 60 convicts from that pri son, and then proceeded to Portland to ship more, for Gibraltar. The Oberon steam-♦essel, after a thorough refit and being rigged, &c., ready for the pendant, steamed out of the fitting basin at Portsmouth yesterday, and pro ceeded to Stokes-bay to try her engines, after which she returned to harbour moorings, where she awaits com mission. The Myrmidon, 4, iron paddlewheel steam-vessel, hav ing, like the Oberon, undergone a thorough refit, was removed from the fitting basin at Portsmouth yesterday, ready for commission. The Charlotte Jane sailing transport arrived at Spit head yesterday afternoon, from the Thames, to embark reliefs (detachments of the 61st, we believe), for the West Indies, whom she embarks at Portsmouth. The crew of the Retribution .paddlewheel steam frigate, Captain Fisher, will be paid wages at Ports mouth, and granted leave to-morrow. The crew of the Penelope steAm-frigate have been al lowed to volunteer for other ships, as it will be a long time before her refit is completed. SHEERNESS, MONDAY. The Royal George, screw, has her poop off, and many shipwrights are working at her, fittin g her for the two lon g Lancaster guns, which will work on swivels fore and aft. The James Watt, 91, screw, Captain George Elliott, hauled alongside the sheers jetty this morning, for the purpose of takin g out her main and foremast. The Majestic, 81, screw, Captain Hope, C. 8., is still here. The greater portion of her crew have returned, and are victualled on hoard the Minotaur hulk, moored in the stream. Her main shaft is not yet returned from Woolwich, where it has gone to have its defective parts made good, &c. The Cressy, Si, screw, Captain Warren, is at her moorings in the fairway. She has taken on board the whole of her guns, coals, and water ; she is, we hear, to be ready for service by the Ist of the month. Rumour here gains ground that she is destined for the Black Sea, but we know of no positive or definite order on that head. . . The rylades, 21, screw, Captain D'Eyncourt, is in No. 1 dry dock. She is expected to go next spring tide. Half her crew are on leave, the rest employed rigging her, &c. Site progresses fast in her machinery department. DEVONPORT, SIMIDAT. The Magicienne, 16, paddle, Captain Fisher, which arrived on Saturday, has some defects which will require her to be brought into harbour to make good. Captain Nicholas Vansittart will succeed Captain Fisher in the command of the Magicienne. The Stag, convict ship, H. M. Clarke master, arrived last night from Portland. She will make up her com plement from Dartmoor, and then sail for West Aus tralia. The Porcupine, 3, paddle, Lieut. Commander Jack son, sailed this day at noon. The Mauritius, screw transport, is hourly expected from the seat of war with invalids, women, and children at this port, and proceed direct to Chatha►n to land thu invalids. Mr. W. H. Charchward arrived from Queenstown on Friday, and entered on his duty as superintendent engi neer of the now tunnel, to connect the dockyard with Keyham yard, on Saturday. TUESDAY. The Caesar, 90, Captain Roff, has sailed west. She drew charts. It is said she is eff to Gibraltar, and will return with troops. The Nile, 91, screw, Captain Munely, has been taken out of dock at Keyham. The Magicienno has been brought into harbour, and placed alongside the dockyard, to snake good some de fects. THE QUEEN'S YACHT VICTORIA AND ALBERT• The Queen's new yacht is exceedingly stiff under can vas, and report speaks favourably of her. In appearance her length is very great, sheer handsome, bow sharp, with sufficient hollow to be serviceable ; cutwater and fiddleheai anything but tasteful ; quarters pea, Her It is stated to be the intention to raise two additional light cavalry regiments, to be called the 18th and 19th Light Dragoons, the staff of which will be taken from existing light cavalry regiments. The old 18th Hussars., or Drogheda Horse, was raised in that vicinity by the late Field-Marshal the Marquis of Drogheda, and was the regiment in which the late Marquis of Londonderry, then Lord Stewart, served the greater part of his mili tary career. It is believed that the new 18th will be raised in the vicinity of Drogheda. The new regimental tunic substituted by her Majesty:a warrant for the swallow-tailed coatee of the infantry is now being issued to the brigade of Guards ; all velatn tears and recruits who have joined the Household in fantry sinc e th e I s t o f J anuar y h ave b een s upplied with it, and being tall men, the tunic becomes them much better, and must be more comfortable and easy than the padded and buttoned up regimental coat. The Board of Ordnance have had their attention drawn to a newly-invented rifle, with barrels as large as the Minis rifle now in use, and chambers similar to the repeating pistol. This weapon will discharge five shots in four seconds, and can be loaded with extraordinary facility. Yesterday upwards of 4,000 cotton shirts, flannels for fomenting, and a quantity of general medical stores were shipped from the Tower, to be conveyed to the general hospital at Scutari, for the use of the sick and wounded. or home use, prices remain steady for the common and extra grades, while the medium grades are heavy and less firm. We quote--Superfine No. 2, 8 dells. 25c. to 8 dole. 750. ; common to good state, 8 dole. 75c. to 8 dols. 931 c. ; favourite state, 9 dols. to 9 dells. 25c. ; ex tra state, 9 dols. 52ic. to 10 dole. ; common to good In diana and Michigan, 9 dole. 12c. to 9 dole. 622 e. ; fancy Michigan, 9 dole. 75c. to 9 'dais. 87Ac. ; extra Indiana, Michigan, and St. Louis, 9 dole. M i c. to 10 dols. 75c. Wheat is nearly inactive, as there are but few desirable lots offering, and those are held above the views of buyers, All prime lots are quickly taken up by our city millers at more than remunerating rates, especially to the seller. COTTON.—There is a good demand, and with a short supply, some holders have advanced their views ; but we do not alter our quotations. The receipts last year up to this time 'Were 1,135,000 bales against 978,000 bales to the present time. ARRIVAL OF THE ST. LOUIS. SOUTHAMPTON, Jan. 30.—The United States mail steam-ship St. Louis, Captain J. A. Wotton, arrived off Cowes this morning en route from New York to Havre. She brought 30 passengers and 12,000 dols. in specie, 5,000 of which are for England, and on freight 61 tierces of rice, 67 bales of hair, 54 bundles of whalebone, and 100 packages of merchandise for Havre. This steamer bring dates from New York to the 13th inst. During nearly the whole of her voyage she experienced very heavy easterly gales. On the 16th inst. in lat. 41.44, long. 60.46, she passed a Bremen bark, steering to the westward, showing No. 40. There is little political news by this arrival. In the Senate the Pacific Railroad Bill was to be the special order of the day till the 16th of January. A despatch from Washington, dated the 10th iist. states : "The Committee of Ways and Means will endeavour to call up, on the first opportunity, the bill reported by them in the last session to regulate the duties on imports. This bill continues an ad valorem duty of 100 per cent. on liquors, &e., and establishes a scale of duties on other articles of 5, 10, 15, and 20 per cent, ad valorem respec tively, with a free list of a few unimportant articles. " The bill recommended by the Secretary of the Trea sury also continues the duty of 100 per cent. ad valorem on liquors, &c., but establishes a single rate of duty of 25 per cent. ad valorem on all other articles, except those enumerated in an extensive free list." I-PRICE SD. stern is not handsome. The crew commerAced stripping her on her arrival alongside the Camperdown, berthing hulk, which appears somewhat about 100 feet short of the length of the new yacht. We believe the old yacht Osborne is to be presented to the Prince of Wales. THE HASTINGS AND PEMBROKE. The new screw block-ships Hastings and Pembroke, under process of conversion at Portsmouth, will leave the dock in a few days, and be taken into the basin to receive their high pressure engine power: They are t be fitted with the patent gutta percha speakinz tubes by Mr. W. W. Bonney, after the manner of the Royal Albert, Royal George, James Watt, Nile, Algiers, Ex mouth, Hannibal, Malacca, Cossack, Callow, Colossus, Curacea, Harier, Swallow, Hogue, Cornwallis, Rusell, Hawke, Tartar, Cressy, and other ships, and we believe her Majesty's newly-built steam-yacht will also be fitted. with tine means of communication between deck and engine-room, or elsewhere. THE DRAKE, MORTAR-VESSEL. The Drake, mortar-vessel, which has the new Lan caster mortar on board, has proceeded to Woolwich. We hear Sir Thomas Maitland and Captain Roberts, and other gentlemen of the Ordnance committee, have been much pleased with the late trials at Shoeburyness. This monster gun hangs in slings, the suspenders of which, after firing upwards of 25 rounds, have proved themselves to be of sufficient strength to bear the recoil of the gun. We understand her range is as much as two and a half te three miles. No doubt the Government will avail themselves, next spring, of such a valuable acquisition to the British navy. MILITARY. DEATH OF COLONEL COTHER. Lieut. Colonel Cother, C. 8., died on Wednesday night, at his house in York-buildings, Gloucester. He bad in I his younger days seen a great deal of active service, and on all occasions acquitted himself with the highest pos sible credit. He covered the landing of the force under Sir David Baird at the Cape of Good Hope in 1806 ; was present in the general action at Blue Berg, and in all the operations that took place until the surrender of the colony. Covered the advance of the force under General Beresford at the reduction on the River Plate, and was engaged in every affair which took place at and in the vicinity of Buenos Ayres ; and on the surrender of that place was taken prisoner, together with .the whole force, and marched nearly 1,000 miles into the interior. Landed in Portugal in 1808, and commanded the light cernranies of the brigade under General Fer guson at the battles of Roleia and Vimiera. Was after wards engaged in every affair with his regiment (the 71st) on the retreat to Corunna, and in the action at that place. Landed again in Portugal in 1811, and was engaged at Arroyo de Molinos, when General Gerard was surprised, and his cannon and 1,200 prisoners taken. Commanded one of the storming parties when the forts at Almarez, on the Tagus, were taken, for which he obtained the brevet of lieutenant-colonel. Commanded the 71st at the battle of Vittoria ; on which occasion he received three musket balls through his clothes, one in the saddle, and was also wounded by another. He subsequently served 11 years in Cey lox, and commanded in the eastern provinces in the Kandian country during the rebellion of 1818. For these various services ho received the honornry distinc tion of C. 8., the gold medal for Vittoria, and the silver war medal, with three clasps. THE MILITIA The amegal Militia Lai received orders for imme diate embodiment, and are to bo sta.ticned at Bally• shannon. The Tyrone Militia was to proceed to Omagh ye.qer• day, there to be stationed. The Pant Artillery, assembled at Dover Castle, under the command of Lieutenant• Colonel Cator, for embodied service, muster 200 strong. They are practised in gun nery, and with a little more drill will form valuable :izi lia,rits to the Royal Artillery corp 3 in this important branch of service. A change has jast taken place in the West Essex corps of Militia. Captain Pearson, who had been the Adjutant since the formation of the regiment, has re signed, and is succeeded by Captain H. Piercy, late of the 6th Regiment, a gentleman who has seen' 16 years' active service, and who was in the principal battles during the Indian campaign. The men of the corps are being ♦ery actively trained, and already assume a mar tial deportment. 115 privates and the majority of non commissioned officers have volunteered for garrison duty in the Mediterranean. The following movements have taken place in the East Suffolk Artillery Regiment, the head-quarters of which are at Ipswich :—A detachment of 115 for Tilbury Fort, 134 for Landgward Fort and Harwich Redoubt. Inde pendently of the staff, not more than 100 gunners and drivers remain at the depot. The numbers required to complete the full complement of the regiment are 179 gunners, 6 corporals, and 5 sergeants. The itoyal Wiltshire Militia received the intelligence at Portsmouth on the 24th inst. that the Government had accepted their offer to serve in the Mediterranean. On the 25th the ♦olunteering took place with much spirit, the numbers sworn in being 29 serjeants, 28 corporals, 12 druntmer;, and 575 privates—total, 644, At the urgent request of Lieut.-Col. Lord Methuen, commanding, the regiment has been struck off garrison duty for one week, and the men have been granted leave of absence for that period. The regiment is in high spirits at the prospect of foreign service, and all the preparations are made for the formation of the service and depot companies. The men belonging to the lst Devon Militia have been supplied with their muskets. In consequence of the de crease of the numbers, by the sending home 200 married and the ♦olunteering of 75 into the line, recruiting par ties have been sent into the North of Devon to obtain ♦olunteers, and in several places they bare been ♦ery successful. The King's Own 2d Tower Hamleti Militia have been summoned by Captain Gay, the Adjutant, to muster in the London-fields, Hackney, at 9 o'clock, on Thursday morning, the let of March, to be embodied for permanent duty. . . . The Royal South Lincoln Militia, one of the first em bodied, which received so high a compliment at the half-yearly inspection from the present Deputy-Adjutant- General of the army, and which gave nearly 160 men chiefly to the Guards, has been surpassed by none in its promptitude in coaling forward in the present emergency. Long before the calls for volunteers were made the offi cers of the regiment, with Colonel Sibthorp, M.P., and Lieutenant-Colonel Fame at their head, proffered their personal services to the Government, which were acknowledged in handsome replies fro n the Duke of Newcastle and Lord Palmerston. Out of 59 men at head-quarters 370 names were forwarded to the Norse Guards last week. About 50 more have since volun teered, and it is expected that, on their services being officially accepted for Corfu, the regiment will go almost to a man. The Royal South Down Regiment, now mustering upwards of 300, is stationed in the Newry barracks, and commanded in person by the Marquis of Downshire. THE NEW BILL FOR THE REMOVAL OF NUI- SANCES AND PREVENTION OF DISEASES, £c. The new bill " to Conselolidate and amend the Nui sances Removal and Diseases Preventio n A c t s o f 1848 and 1849" has been printed, It is endorsed with the names of Sir B. Hall, Bart., Lord Palmerston ' and Sir 11 7 . Afilesworth, Dart. The number of its clauses a mounts to 62. The first clause repeals the acts 11th and 12th Victoria, chap. 123, and the 12th and 13th Tictoria, chap. HI., saving proceedings in progress. The execution of the act is to be intrusted to the local authorities, and the nuisances " abates.ble" include all filthy, unwholesome, or dilapidated houses and pre mises, all foul or offensive pools, gutters, ditche;, cesspools, drains', and aslipite, ; all animals " se kept as to be injurious t i health," and all de caying or offensive accumulations or deposit!. A n i n . spector of nuisances, with a salary, is to be ap pointed by the local authorities. Clauses 14 to 20 pro vide for the removal of nuisances in the regular legal course—the penalties for contravention of orders to abate nuisances being 103. per diem, and 20s. for " infringe ment" of such orders. Clauses 21 to 33 p r ovide for the cleaning of ditches by the surveyors of highways, the coverinu of open ditches, the prevention of the sale of tainted meat, poultry, and fish, and the abatement of nuisances from offensive trades or processes —such as candle-houses, melting-houses, slaughter-houses, and bone-houses under a penalty of 51. per diem. Clause 34 empowers the Privy Council to issue orders from time to time directing the provisions for the prevention of diseases to be put in force in England, or any part thereof, for six months or less ; and clause 35 empowers the General Board of Health to carry out such orders, by issuing regulations for the speedy burial of the dead, for house to house visitations, and for the disp ensin g of medicinew, and the supply .of medical aide to persons " It is due from the committee to Mr. Smith to ac knowledge the punctuality with which he has paid his rent for the two years he has held the theatre, and that he has commenced a new season with a corresponding punctuality, and it is upon a full conviction that he wilt continue to fulfil his obligations so honourably that the committee rest their expectations of having the means to discharge the claims consequent upon presenting the public with a nearly new theatre, both internally and externally, at an expense of about 2,0001. The present entertainments are of a popular nature, and looking through the dramatic world, Mr. Smith has no reason to be dissatisfied with the support he receives from the public." The report was adopted. • On the motion of Lord W. LENNOX, the thanks of the meeting were voted to the chairman. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, referred to Mr. E. T. Smith as the best lessee they had ever had for the theatre. Mr. BEANEN agreed with the chairman, and moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Smith for his exertions to please the public taste. Mr. PYIIFINCH protested against such a vote, as he thought the character of the performances provided by Mr. Smith did not deserve it, Horsemanship and ope ratic performances, although they might have enabled. Mr. Smith to pay the rent, was not calculated to raise the taste of the people, and were not fit for a national theatre. (Oh, eh.) The Own2rAN had much pleasure in supporting the vote, believing Mr. Smith had done his best to promote the interests of all parties. (Hear, hear.) The vote having been carrried by acclamation, Mr. SMITH returned thanks, urging the support yielded by the public as the best argument in favour of his management of the theatre. (Hear, hear.) The meeting then separated. DURATION OF ENGLISH MINISTRIES. The following account of the names and the duration of the various A.dministratimis which have governed England since the passing of the Reform Act of 1832 may, at this moment, be interesting to all parties. The Ministry of the late Earl Grey held office from Novem ber, 1830, to August, 1834, and was instrumental in carrying the bill for the reform of the representative system. On the resignation of Earl Grey, in August, 1834, the WhigCstry was modified, and Viscount Melbourne was iced to the office of First Lord of the Treasury. This • •stry was dissolved by William IV. in November, 1834, when Sir Robert Peel was sum moned by the King from Rome to form a new Govern ment on moderate Conservative principles. Sir Robert's tpnnro of offlep, however, was brief, for in the following April (1835) the right hon. baronet was defeated on the fiuneus "Appropriation Clause" of the Irish Titbe Bill, and Lord Melbourne once more resumed the reins of Government. This, the second Melbourne Ministry, endured from April, 1835, to Aug,ust, 1841, or upwards of six years, exclusive of the week's interregnum in 1839, when Lord Melbourne temporarily resigned, and was reinstated on the refusal of Sir R. Peel to take office under nyrt tin cireurnstaeces which need not now be re verted to. In the rummer of 1841 the Whigs were de feated in two Parliaments elected under their own aus pices, and Sir R. Peel formed the Administration which as u lt r i cp s ep e e t tor i dt n : dr18:8 las tedl carried . the principle of free trade, and was eventually G Lordy t h ef Tr f r om mhsne J c ß e uu s n s se i s o ,e n lfss o 4A f 6,d i ttLsnoi Administration, which when a defeat on the 18 2, Militia Bill induced his lordship to resign office. Then came the brief Administration of the Earl of Derby and the "country party," which lasted about nine months. It was dissolved just before Christmas, 1852, and the Earl of Aberdeen succeeded as the bead of a Coalition Ministry. This Administration hes lasted a little more than two years. It will be seen that the second Ministry of Viscount Melbourne held office for upwards of six years, that of Sir Robert Peel (the second Ministry) nearly five years, and that of Lord John Russell nearly six years. During the period in question—viz., from 1834 to 1854—three appeals were made by existing Ministries to the public opinion of the nation—by the usual constitutional course of a general election. Thus, Sir Robert Peel dissolved Parliament in December, 1834, and the result was a considerable, but not adequate, accession of Parliamentary support ; Lord Melbourne dissolved in 1841, but the country re turned a majority of 100 against him ; and the Earl of Derby's appeal to the people, in 1852, was, to judge front the result, similarly, though not equally, unsuccessful. afflicted by or threatened with quietist disfavors. The foregoing provisions with respect to the prevention and mitigation of diseases will extend to Ireland, with the necessary formal modifications. While such or ders in council are in force in any place, the 1004 authorities will have the power of bringing over. crowded, and consequently unhealthy, houses alder the provisions of the " Common Lodging-house Act" of 1851. The orders in Council will extend to parte and arms of the sea 'yin within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty. Medical officers of unions will be enabled by clause 43 to recover costs of attending the sick on board ships from the captains thereof, when re quired to do so by general ordersof theßoard of Health, and where the charges do net exceed 201. the dispute may be determined summarily before a justice. Penal ties may be levied on local authorities neglectiig their duties under this act (the amount thereof to be , filled up in committee of the whole house). The ex penses of the execution of this act are to be defrayed out of borough rates, general district rates, "Local Im provement Act" rates, or highway rates, and, if there be no such rates or fund•, then out of the rates appli cable to the relief of the poor. The constabulary and pollee force in their re - pective jurisdictions are requ red to aid in executing this act. Clause 61 obviates the con struction of anything in this act contained to impair any power of abating nuisances at common law. MEETING OF THE PROPRIETORS OF DR U 1 TBEATBE. The annual general meeting of the proprietors of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane was held yesterday in the saloon of the theatre, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee, and electing officers for the en suing year. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., took the chair, supported by a large body of the proprietors. The CHAIRMAN said, before calling upon the secretary to read the report he could not refrain from expressing his regret at the absence of their noble chairman, the Earl of Glengall, who was prevented- front attending through severe indisposition, whose services had for years ;been devoted to improving the theatre, net less thaa to promoting the interests of the proprietors. In the report of the committee it was stated that-.- " Mr. Smith, the present lessee, took upon himself the responsibility of working the part relinquished by Messrs. Jullien and Gye, and entered Into a fresh lease from the committee for the term of seven years, com mencing the Ist of January, 1852, at a rental of 4,00 E. per annum. MURDER AT CHATHAM. CHATHAM, Moaday.—A dreadful murder has been committed at a house situate in Ordnance-terrace, and occupied by Mies Catherine Bacon, a widow lady of in dependent means, and in her 79th year. A greengrocer's assistant, who called this morning at the house fen orders, was answered by the servant, a girl about 16 years of age. She made some inarticulate expressions, and, perceiving that the blood was pouring from her throat, he ran off for assistance. Several persons soon arrived, and on entering the house a large pool of blood was found in the passage. The servant was found lying on the sofa in the back parlour, apparently in a dying state. Spots of blood were found all the way up two flights of stairs, and in a bedroom at the top was dis covered the body of Mrs. Bacon, dressed, and lying on the floor quite dead, from blows on the head which had evidently been inflicted by some heavy cutting instru ment. From the tracks of the blood, it was clear that the murder had been committed in the lower part of the premises, and the body afterwards deposited where it was discovered. In the kitchen below everything was found in good order, but in the coal-cellar adjoining a large peel of blood was discovered, and close by as axe, which was found to have pieces of hair, blood, and brains clinging to it. The wound in the servant's throat was found to be less severe than was supposed. She has only been in the service of th e d ecease d a f ew wee k s , an d declines to give her name. When asked who had com mitted the murder, she faintly replied, "Two dustmen came into the house and did it, and afterwards escaped by the back way." This statement she repeated at intervals ; but Mr. Homan, a gentleman residing next door, and who was from seven o'clock Len. until the murder was discovered in a part of his premises commanding n complete view of Mrs. Bacon's house, asserts that no one either entered or left the house all the tine he was there. So the matter rests at present. It is stated that while the nurses at Fort Pitt Hospital were undressing the servant, a piece of rag which fell from her bosom was found to contain some rings belong ing to deceased. TIIISDAY.—A coroner's jury assembled at ten o'clock this morning, 30th inst., at the York Tavern, Ordnance. place. Thomas Hills, Esq., the coroner, with the jury, repaired to tie house in which the murder was com mitted, aad took a view of the premises of the murdered lady. The body was lying on the floor of her bed-room, half-dressed. Nothing further has transpired since to lead to the conclusion as to who was the murderer. The unfortunate girl still lies in the hospital ward at Fort Pitt, and every care is taken of her by the medical officers. A constable is placed in the ward to watch the girl, and to hear if she says anything. During the night she attempted to tear open the wound in her neck, but was fortunately prevented by the constable. She expresses a wish to die. He r age is about 1G years. It is the opinion of the medical gentle c%esnotfhwateatrkienggiralpwpaill!eml, ak tk e e a p c z o o n p i i7 e i s t s y ion o . f t S h e e ve d r e a c l ea rtr ,e ti i lady, has been found pledged at different pawnbrokers the town.
