Master Selwyn, son of the Bishop of New Zealand, has come home a passenger to be educated in England. The Dido has been remarkably healthy; not one person had died on board from sickness since she was commis sioned. She is, we understand, in most excellent order, and has been a most comfortable ship ; nearly all the officers that sailed in her have returned in her. We only do justice to a meritorious, zealous, and hard-working officer, when we say her gallant first lieutenant, Mr. T. C. 0. D. Whipple, has doubly earned his promotion to the rank of Commander, which we have no doubt he will receive on the ship being paid off. He has been 22 years in the service constantly employed. He joined the Galatea from the Naval College in 1827, when commanded by Sir Charles Napier, where he made and won his cele brated bet of rigging her in twenty-four hours. He was all through the business of Syria and Acre with Sir Charles Napier, in the Powerful. He then went to India and China in the Agincourt, with Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, who would have promoted him had not Mr. Whipple's health obliged him to come home. He then joined the Trafalgar, with Captain Martin, who sent him as first of the Dido, and he would (had he been in England when the Prince Regent was commissioned) have been with Captain Martin as his Senior Lieutenant. We sincerely hope this officer may receive his well-earned promotion. By this arrival we are put in possession of the gratifying fact of the utmost tranquillity prevailing in the settlement, without any prospect of disunion. The natives were becoming more tractable every day. As a proof of their desire to court friendly re lations with the white population, the Dido reports a chief, by name E. Puni, having taken passage in that ship from Wellington to Auckland, with 400 sove reigns in his possession (which he had amassed by trading), with the object of buying a schooner, and trading along the coast on his own account ! The natives generally are much inclined to trade. Colonel Wakefield, the principal company's agent at Wellington, and founder of the settlement, died at that place on Tuesday, the 19th of September, 1848, and was buried on the 22d with the fullest military honours the colony could provide. The Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Commandants of the troops, and Captains of the squadron, followed the corpse to the grave. A Mr. Fox, also an officer of high stand ing in the company's employ, had succeeded Colonel Wakefield. ,L 4.4. u.a...41.4......a •• azvoc 1 CAIUCLUCLAL. V• uctaiv 1,11%4111,1.A 110{.

The Ripon has experienced a succession of strong westerly gales on the voyage home, both in the Medi terranean and crossing the bay. On the 17th inst. she signalled the brigantine Ann, 100 miles E. of Gibraltar, steering E., also the schooner Sarah, of Shoreham. On the 19th, 50 miles S.E. of Cape St. Vincent, signalled the schooner Index, steering N.W. with a fair wind. Same day, off Cape St. Vincent, the barque Planter, steering N.N.W., and on th e 20 t h i n l a ti tu d e 40 deg. 40 min., longitude 9 deg. 50 m i n., the schooner Susan Collins, twelve days from Ali cante, b oun d to London; on the morning of the 2 t s t spo k e t h e steame r Iberia, 45 miles N.E. of Cape Fini s t erre, all well ; and at six, r.m. of the 22d, 60 miles S.W. of Ushant, exchanged blue lights with the Ind us , b oun d outwar d s f rom South ampton to Alexandria with the Indian mail. The steam-ship Pacha, Captain John Weeks, with the Peninsular mails, left Gibraltar for Southampton two days before the Ripon, to call at Cadiz, Lisbon, Oporto, and Vigo. She may be hourly expected. The following ships were spoken by the steam-ship Malta, on her outward voyage from Southampton to Ceylon:— October 22—Malta, 45 days out, the ship Jumna, of Liverpool, 50 days out, bound to Calcutta, latitude, 34 deg. 12 min. S., longitude, 16 deg. 44 min. W. October 26—Malta, 50 days out, the brig Margaret, of Glasgow, 78 days out, bound to Bombay, lat. 36 deg. 42 min. S., long. 5 deg. 46 rain. W. _ _ IMPORTATION OF CORN.—The collectors and comptrollers and other principal officers of the Customs' department, at the several ports and places throughout the kingdom, have received an intimation to the effect, that as the present scale of duties on corn, meal, and flour, whicn is governed by the average prices, will cease and fixed rates become chargeable, on and after the Ist of February proximo, it is directed by the commissioners that the weekly corn returns, hitherto transmitted to the inspector general of imports and exports, be from that date made out in weekly periods, comprising the re ceipts, deliveries, &c., from the morning of Thursday to the afternoon of the following Wednesday inclusively, observing that in the weekly return for the period next following the receipt of the certificate dated the 25th of January, that portion only of the week is to be included which shall have elapsed before the Ist of February. Letters from Leipsic announce the close of the fair. Business in cloths had been brisk at a rise of 1 to 1 / 1- dollars. The Greek merchants were the principal pur chasers. failure is stated to have occurred, and none of any consequence was expected. ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE..--A young woman, aged 29, the wife of a man named Sitvester S 3 kes, tormerly a plumber at Sevenoaks, but for the last two or three years a dealer in gold fish, has not been heard of for some time, and her relatives, who live at Hadlow, entertain the most serious apprehensions that she has come to an untimely end. She was last seen in August last, when she came to her mother's, the widow Parker, at Hadlow, to take refug e f rom t h e i ll- usage o f her husband, who followed her, and, after beating her, took her away. Sykes then went into Yorkshire, and at length wrote from WTantage, Berks, saying he knew nothing of his wife, who, he supposed, had returned to her mother. This, however, is not the case; her mother, who is in the greatest distress respecting her, has seen nothing of her.—Maidstone Journal. The commercial letters received by the Europa from the United States do not possess much interest. In the eastern towns business with the interior was entirely at a stand, but the most sanguine expectations were en tertained that an active business would take place imme diately after the opening of the internal navigation. Brother Jonathan is looking forward with great confi dence to a steadily increasing consumption of American agricultural products in this country, and the mercantile class at the same time calculate that it will lead to an increased demand for our manufactures. No idea seems to be entertained that any attempt will be made in Con gress to alter the present tariff, and they have instructed their correspondents on this side of the water that they may rest perfectly satisfied on this point, at all events for the present year. We understand that one of the necessary consequences of this assurance is that a consi derable number of orders in the iron trade that were held cJnditionally will now be forthwith executed. The Dido has brought home a few valuable curio sities for naturalists, the chief of which is a small black bird, about the size of the English blackbird, called the Tui (the parson bird of Captain Cook), believed to be the first of the species ever brought to England alive. Many previous attempts have been made to bring this bird to England, but all hitherto have failed.

The conduct and movements of the notorious Heki, the Pretorius of New Zealand, are graphically de tailed in the following article from the 'Southern Cross (Auckland paper) of Oct. 28 : " THE BAY OF ISLANDS.—The Nancy, from the Bay cf Islands, on Monday evening, brings us letters from several correspondents, all of which allude in pointed terms to the bearing and conduct of the redoubtable Heki, as indicative of his restlessness and determination to set law and order again at defiance. It is the almost unanimous opinion of those who have known this chief for many years, that he never will be quiet for any length of time together. Ambition is his ruling passion, and being very little under the influence, if not wholly destitute, of upright principles, he does not scruple to seize on the most frivolous and unwarrantable pretexts for supporting his exactions. Some of his old adherents disapprove of his present behaviour, and declare that he must have a good cause for assuming a hostile position before they will yield their sanction and support, but the majority stand in awe of him, and feel that their own safety in a measure depends upon their union with .him, as he has declared that he will regard the neutrals as his foes, and in one instance has already wreaked his ven geance by stripping a neutral chief of all that he pos sessed. The history of his recent exploit, according to the best account we have obtained, is as follows :--- "M. James Davis, son of the Rev. R. Davis, has been for many years in quiet possession of the land pur chased for him of the native chiefs, and has lately had in his employ some native lads acting in the capacity of shepherds. Some of these, it seems, had kindled a fire upon a portion of Mr. Davis's land, which Heki chose to say was Tapu,' on account of sobie bodies having been buried there. One, if not Wore, :of these offending youths belong to Heki's tribe; but this was not taken into the smallest consideration by him. Instead of reprimanding or punishing them, ho brought a tana' against Mr. Davis, and: demanded 151., and a horse as payment for the offence. Mr. James Davis, not at all inclined to submit to such an unreasonable demand, addressed a letter to Haiti, commencing, we believe, with some such question as this—' Heki, my friend, what evil have I committed, that you act thus towards me? Your present conduct is not that of a great chief; it is more like that of a slave.' To the astonishment of the natives, no less than of Mr. Davis, Heki, with unparalleled effrontery, declared he should consider this sentence as involving a curse (` kanga') and that he should demand en extra 51. for its ex piation! " Expostulations and remonstrances were employed in order to bring Heki to reason, but in vain; and even the Rev. Mr. Burrows, we are informed, was told that he had better hold his tongue, if he did not want to lose the saddle he wa3 then riding upon, Indeed, sole think Gux ACCIDENT.—A serious and melancholy acci dent occurred at Stone Easton, Somerset, a few days since. Two brothers of that place, of the name of Hill, whitesmiths and bellhangers, took their gun, in the ab sence of their father, and went out to shoot some birds, in search of which one of the brothers went through tha hedge, and the other handed the gun through to him, which he took by the muzzle; and in drawing it through the hedge a bramble caught the trigger, and the con tents of the piece went through the young man's neck, entering just below the ear, and nearly 'severing his head Irom his body. His brother, cn going through t o him, found him a corpse, and the sight so overpowered him that he fell at his feet senseless, in which state h e lay for some tin 3.?.

AMERICAN OCEAN STEAMERS.--11 Pa%sage across the Atlantic, against the strong winds 4114 he4vy seas which prevail in the depth of winter, is sure to try the strength and sailing capabilities of steamers. Whatever the success in summer, with light and favourable breezes, it is only when the Waves are " lashed to storm" that vessels are fairly put upon their trial. The British and North American toyal mail stesm•ship Europa, Captain Lou, which sailed from New York on the 10th instant, and Halifax on the 1 31 h, reached the Mersey yesterday morning a little after nine o'clock, making the passage from New York to Li ver Pool, at this boisterous season of the year, in less than twelve days! This, all things considered, is the most astonishing passage on record. The Europa, on her rasssge out, left the Mersey on the 16th of December, four days after the American steamer, Hermann, sailed from Southampton for New York.

MARKET INTELLIGE N CE. (From the London New Price Current of Jan. 23.) SUGAR.—To-day the general character of the Sugar market was that of less firmness, as large quantities of East India and Mauritius were offered at public sale, and various parcels of Sugar are advertised for this week. There is, however, still a readiness shown by some parties to do business. In West India Muscovado a fair trade was concluded, whilst the rates paid are equal to those et Friday: The quan tity sold amounted to 480 hhds, &c., including a public sale of 150 hhds 15 brls Barbadoes, which went off briskly at fully former rates ; indeed good and fine rea lised an advance of 6d per cwt ; low yellow sold at 56s 6d, middling 37s 6d to 38s 6d, good 39s to 40s 6d, and fine 41s to 43s per cwt. The superior sorts of West India are still scarce, and much wanted. REFINED.—To-day former rates were well supported for Refined Goods, and on the part of the home trade a readiness was evinced to make purchases. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held with firmness at from 28s 6d to 29s 6d per cwt. There are many buyers rather under these rates. MAIIRITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauri tius Sugar submitted to public competition was exten sive, and amounted to 13,214 bags; the whole found buyers at and after the sales, but merchants were com pelled to accept prices 6d per cwt under those current on Friday. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Penang offered at public sale was upon a larger scale, and amounted to 3,016 bags 689 baskets; the whole sold, but at a reduction of 6d to Is per cwt. Madras met with less attention, and 4,403 bags 32 boxes sold at a reduc tion of fully 6d. Of Bengal 1,582 bags were disposed of at steady rates. FOREIGN.—Today there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, and privately several inquiries existed, but busi ness of moment was prevented by holders insisting upon an advance on last week's rates. MoLAssEs.—The demand is active for West India, and prices keep on the advance for all sorts. The sales by private treaty are 300 puns of Antigua at 20s, and small parcels of Dominica at 17s to 17s 6d. There is more business doing in Bengal Treacle, and at - better prices; holders are firm, and insist upon 16s per cwt. COFFEE.—This afternoon the biddings were spirited at a public sale of 4,276 bags Costa Rica Coffee, and the whole sold at firm rates, mostly for home consumption— low middling went at 475, fine fine ord 35s to 365, fine ord 32s to 34s 6d, good ord 30s to 325, ord 27s to 28s 6d, damaged 27s to 30s, inferior 25s to 265. Of Plantation Ceylon 93 bags went at full value—fine ord grey unclean 40s, good ord 32s to 365, damaged 355, and triage Its to 265. The market for Native is quiet, at 34s to 34s 6d for good ord. TEA.—Although Black has been operated in with caution, still holders display firmness and insist upon full rates. Congou of sound common clean quality can not be purchased under 8d per lb. Green is held with firmness ; but the sales made aro of little moment. Pekoe and scented Tens are not much required, yet quo tations have undergone no variation. Of 11,800 pkgs of Tea offered at auction only 2,900 actually found buyers. SPIRITS.—For East India Rum the demand has be come small, there is also a decline in the value, and Is 3d to is 4d have been accepted for proof, whilst the quantity on offer is large r. Leeward Island is offered upon rather lower terms; the purchases made have been small tit is 5d to Is aid proof. Demerara met with little attention. There is much demand for fine Jamaica, and full rates are offered, but the supply continues scanty. The rates current for plain and mid quality 28 to 33 per cent over proof are 2s Sd to 3s 2d, good mid and good 34 to 38 over 3s 3d to 3s Bd, fine 3s 9d to 4s, and superior 4s ild to 4s 6d per gallon. Brandy continues in excellent re quest, and the rates paid are fully equal to those cur rent on this day week, deliveries also continue to be of a satisfactory nature. The value of Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1847 is 3s 8d to 3s 10d, ditto 1848 3s 4d to 3s 6d, and inferior 2s 4i to 3s sd. Geneva has been dealt in with caution for exportation at I s 10d to is 11d, and fine for home consumption at 2s 6d to 3s. A more active demand exists for British made Spirit, and prices are firm at 9s 10d per gallon net cash. RICE.—To-day a good business was concluded in East India Rice by private treaty, and 682 bags Bengal at public sale sold at full rates—good middling and good white realised lls to Ils 6d, and damaged 8s 6d to lOs 6d per cwt. COCHINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal met with little attention, and of 241 bags at public sale not above one half sold at rather easier rates. Ord to good Honduras silvers went at 3s 9d to 4s 4d, middling black 5s 3d, Mexican silvers taken in at 3s I Id, and black 4s 2d. SALTPETRE.—Deliveries continue to proceed under favourable auspices, still rough met with less attentio❑ by private treaty, and the rates accepted are rather under those current previously. At auction 352 bags of Calcutta were disposed of ; good grey Gi h er cent refraction realise 26s 6d, and not reti acted 255 6d to 26s per cwt. The prices current for low to fine are from 25s 6d to 27s 6d per cwt. Nitrate of Soda has been only in moderate request. FRUlT.—Currants have been extensively dealt in, and better rates are obtained ; sales having been made at 34s to 39s for new. Of fine the stock is much re duced. Some holders will not sell at present rates, and the consumption proceeds under favourable auspices. Raisins attract more attention, and the tendency of prices is to advance; Valencias realise 37s to 38s. Figs are not much wanted, and on the part of holders a desire is shown to sell. For Muscatels and Sultana Raisins there is a dull sale. INDlGo.—There is still firmness in the market for East India, and a fair demand exists both for home con- sumption and on speculation. The rates paid are equal to those previously current, or an advance on those of the last quarterly sales of 2d to 3d per lb. The business done has been again chiefly confined to second hand goods. For public sale the quantity de clared is 10,800 chests. Spanish is in steady request and prices have an upward tendency. TALLow.—Although Russian on the spot is offerd at a further reduction, yet only small purchases have been made by soap makers or chandlers. There is also a desire on the part of holders to accept 405 9d to 41s for fine P. Y. Candle. The quotation for the last three months of the year is 41s, but few buyers aro met with. Home made continues to be dealt in with caution at 41s to 41 6d net cash. The public sales have been large, and went at lower rates, but the parcels offered were nearly all sold. On Friday 1,000 pkgs of Tallow will be submitted to public competition. Rough Fat 2s 4d per stone. On.s.—There has been no public sale of Fish Oil held since our last report, and arrivals aro yet of little moment, but operations have not been upon a more extended scale. To-day there vas a great demand for Linseed Oil, and it was difficult to purchase under 23s per cwt on the spot. THE SILK TRADE.—MEETING OF THE SPITAL FIELDS WEAVERS.—Yesterday evening a meeting of the operative broad-silk hand-loom weavers of Spitalfieldc, Bethnal-green, and the vicinity, was held at the School house, house Hare-street, Bethnal-green, in pursuance o of printed circular, " for the purpose of taking lb . __, co ntinua. sideratiOn the necessary steps to o prevent s the s ,_. tp _ reductions, persevered in by the Manufacsthutnreer by _ n ; of local plying to the Legislature for the estabhl" boards of trade, feeling con fident i t s h t a h t ei s i7 l E n l eo d i: : it h mb i l d f ee e p d a e i r a r f a t u e - 1 state of things continue, not only v h ao i f c hl betwee n og th o: asf e l rn eet i b g sepbavratthede. fives certain, but also of all tra d esmen cradle's , 9nd ' that boards,w'ou would be ra ai n . l w o a ca s l a itY dd 2 r ' es T se h d e by several hoifchthree of whom concurred in the ad Rev.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Bittern, 16, Com• mender Hope, arrived at Spithead this afternoon, from the west coast of Africa. She sailed from Sierra Leone on the 26th of December, with mails, and Lieutenant Crowder, of the Rapid ; Dr. Negus, surgeon of the Waterwitch ; and Lieutenant Page, of the Sealark, passengers. There were remaining at Sierra Leone, the Sealark, Ranger, refitting after being ashore - 1b Snap tender, and the Adelaide, prize tender to the 'Sae— lark. The Bittern has taken four prizes and :sham in another. The squadron's officers and men were healthy, and the slave-trade more thriving than ever. Several captures were made b e t weas the interval of the Rapid sailing from Ascea• lion and the Bittern from Sierra Leone. The latter iu ordered to Sheerness, to be paid off. The Commodore had made up his mind to come to England forthwith, and may be expected at Spithead in a few days. Ho in reported ill. The Malabar coal depot was removed this morning from the basin, and has since been placed at her moor ings on the west side of the harbour, opposite Cold Harbour, Gosport. Wind—N. W. by W. Fresh gales, and hazy weather. PIA Arounr, JAN. 20.—Her Majesty's steam-sloop Driver arrived to-day, with supernumeraries from Portsmouth, and is appointed to return thither this afternoon. Her Majesty's troop-ship Apollo was warped to her sailing moorings yesterday, and will be ready to go of harbour on the Ist of February. The Confiance steam-tug will be masted on Monday. Her Majesty's steam guard-ships Forth and Seahorse, lying off the Dockyard New Basin in Hamoaze, are ordered to be moored head and stern for the reserve steam-vessels to lie alongside, without sheering with the tide, and thereby obstructing the passage of the harbour. Three lift hammers are to be erected in the south smithery in the Devonport Dockyard. Wind southerly, light breeze and foggy. Admiral Dacres will strike his flag (blue at the fore) this evening at sunset, and the ship will sail to-morrow for Chatham, to be put out of commission.

Maxwell, arrived at Spithead this morning, as noticed elsewhere, and is ordered to Sheerness to be paid ofG This ship has made an astonishingly quick passage home —the quickest, we believe, yet known. She has run over 13,438 miles in 77 days, and has averaged 174 miles per day ever since she left New Zealand, from which station she ran to Cape Horn (5,017 miles) in 25 days. The Hannah, 22, Captain Erskine, was at AUCILIII4 when the Dido sailed. The Rattlesnake surveying-ship, Captain Owen SW.. ley, and her tender the Bramble, were surveyingin Torre* Straits. The Fly, 18, Captain Oliver, was at Wellington. The Acheron surveying steam-sloop, Captain Stoke, * was at Newcastle, a small place near Sydney, coaling on her way to New Zealand. All who went out in the Dido have come home in her —a rare occurrence. The President, 50, Captain Stanley, flag of Vice. Admiral Dacres, also arrived this morning from the Cape of God Hope station. Rear Admiral Reynolds, C. 11., arrived at the Cape to relieve Admiral Dacres on the 16th of November (as we stated on the arrival of the Indiaman Madagascar on Friday last). The President left at anchor in Simon's Bay, the Southampton, 50, Captain Cory, flag of Rear-Admiral Reynolds ; the Espiiigle, 12, Commander Campbell, refitting a new foremast; the Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Brown; the Dee troop-steamer, Master-Commander Filmer; the Seringapatam store-ship, Master-Commander Russell. The Nimrod, 20, Commander Belgrave, sailed on the same day as the President for the Mauritius, at which place was the Brilliant, 26, senior officer. The Eurydice, 26, Captain Anson, arrived at Joannah, on her way to Zanzibar, on the 24th of October. The President arrived at St. Helena on the 17th of December, and sailed on the 21st; Ascension on the 26th, and sailed on the 28th ; islands both healthy; called off St. Michael's on the 18th inst., blowing very hard, when all the vessels there (about 43 sail) were getting under way. She is ordered to Chatham, to be paid off. The Cygnet was all well on the coast of Africa on the 26th of December. The Bittern, 16, Commander T. Hope, sailed to-day for sheerness to be paid off, taking supernumeraries for that port. The Sharpshooter steam-schooner, Lieutenant• Com• wander J. C.

The Salamander steam sloop, and Jackal!, small steamer, were removed from the steam-basin to-day, preparatory to their sailing, in company with the Rat• tier and Growler steam• sloops, for Plymouth, where they are to form part of an advanced squadron of steamers e$ that port. They are to be manned, pro tem., by seamen, riggers, and men from the Ordinary, and commanded by Messrs. Bead, of the Superintendent's yacht; Welch, of the Fairy; Allen, of the Fire Queen; and Balliston, of the Myrtle; and, if the heather will permit, will sail to• morrow.

Ihe Janus steam vessel went down the river on trial to-day, accompanied by the Monkey steam-vessel, and appeared to make good speed on starting. The Niger steam-vessel is having a quantity of coals put on board this afternoon, preparatory to being again tried to-morrow or the following day. The Basilisk steam-vessel is under tf.e shears, in the inner basin, and it will be some time before she is ready for trial. MALTA, JAN. 12.—MOVEMENTS, &c., SINCE JAN. 5. The Terrible, which arrived rrom Naples on the sth, left, on her return to the Admiral thereat, on the 9th, with stores and provisions. which would seem to indi cate that his Exceleecy dogs not contvenpla e making Malta this year his sinter quarters. The Vanguard arrived front Pith rani on the 7th, and the Rodney trout Naples on the Bth; the former had a narrow escape from getting on shore as she was leaving Palermo, and but for the opportune aid of the Terrible, the consequences might have been very serious. Both the Vanguard and Rodney leave next week tojoin Sir Charles Napier's squadron at Lisbon, for which same destination, calling at Gibraltar, the Sidon took her departure on the 9th. The Sultan, Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, arrived from Southampton and Gibraltar on the afternoon of the Bth in some hours short of ten day s, including stoppages at the last mentioned pert to coal, under quarantine, and netwitha standing the prevalence of strong contrary gales of wind for no less then 350 miles of the voyage, which all cir cumstances considered, is the quickest passage on record, this vessel is, however, noted for her astonishing speed, and for the superior seamauships of her Commander (Captain Brooks), who. as the senior of the company's eflicers, carries a commodore's broad pendant. She left again for Constantinople on the morning of the 9th, and may he looked for back to carry on the Indian mails and passengers to Southampton about the 24th. The Seid (Tunisian brig of war), sailed for Tunis on the sth; and the Russian cutter of war, Orianda, fur the Piraeus, of Athens, on the 11th. A serious disturbance took place on board the Rod ney, at Naples, on Christmas Eve, a very large portion of the crew having expressed an unwillingness on such an occasion to obey the order for extinguishing lights at eight P.M. Many of the mess traps were cast overboard and also shot, and order was not restored before the otlicers interfered with drawn swords, and nine of the ringleaders were placed in irons. 40 LOVA 118% 51% 52P , 1 0 i Oft Y.) al* ae d)► 14.1 3 * NA Out' - Put .04 fro. • at• Wi th ind',i ruu: Ans u l Lao CO' , Al' THE ARMY.
