'While the members of the Aberdeen Synod—men who have enjoyed the advantages of a liberal educa tion, and who hold, or ought to hold, a high position in society—were indulging in stormy discussions and violent altercation—the minority consigning the majority, without much apparent compunction, to eternal perdition, and both .sides exhibiting, to some, extent, a want of Christian forbearance and courteous feeling—Henry Vincent, a youth of 28 years of age —originally a printer's devil, and more recently re ported to be a vulgar, violent, and wicked Chartist. —was expounding the principles of liberty, enforcing the excellence of morality, and illustrating the truth and beauty of Christianity in a series of dis courses, which, for sound ability, powerful eloquence, polished diction, tolerant spirit, and happy manner, have, we verily believe, never been equalled in this city. Any one who, like us, went from the West Church to the Temperance Hall, or the Dissenting Chapel, where the Complete-Suffrage meetings were held, must have been forcibly struck with the con trast betwean the reverend wranglers—the paid advo cotes- of religion—and the lay lecturer on the rights and duties of the people—a contrast so honourable to the latter and disgraceful to the former. The pains which Mr. Vincent took to recommend to his audiences peace, moderation, and, above all, true tolerance for the opinions of others, ought for ever to put down the calumnies that have been heaped on the cause of thorough Parliamentary Reform.—Aberdeen 'Jerald.

ASSURANCES MAY EITHER BE EFFECTED BY PAR I lES ON THEIR OWN LIVES, OR, BY PARTIES INTERESTED THEREIN ON THE LIVES OF OTHERS. The effect of an Assurance on a person's own life is to create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other means he realised. Take, for instance, the case of a person at the age of thirty, who, by the payment of 51. 3s. 4d. to the Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once pos sessed of a 13equeathable property, amounting to 1,0001., sub ject only to the condition of his continuing the same payment quarterly during the remainder of his life—a condition which may he fulfilled by the mere saving of EIGHT SHILLINGS weekly in his expenditure. Thus, by the exertion of a very slight degree of economy—such, indeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconvenience, he may at once realise a capital of 1,0001., which he can bequeath or dispose of in any way he may think proper.

SPORTING. The past has been a great week for Newmarket. I think I never saw such an attendance of gentlemen and so many of the Manchester division. I have been trying to discover why the latter should be such a hot-bed for sportsmen ; manufacturers usually hoard their ill-gotten gains, risking not one penny but with the certain return of two. This is quite contrary to the nature of betting men, a valuable body to the pro prietors of race-horses. Few men in the worki e could stand the expenses of breeding and training, was there no more money to be won than the stake run for, yet there are boobies in the world who endeavour (God help them, for help they want) to write down Tattersall's and the whole system of betting, as if betting was not an indispensable adjunct to horse. racing. As I have not yet found out why they bet so much more at Manchester than they do at Liverpool or Leeds, I'll be like Victorine—l'll sleep on it. The fates decreed us no less than seven races an Monday, commencing very properly with a dead heat; so dissatisfied, I must add, were both parties with this result, that a long argument ensned whether it should not be run again after the other races, or on Wednesday. Out of the seven running fur the Handi cap three were roarers. The distemper too often ter minates] thus. Jeremy Diddler won in a canter, there fore by public running is the speediest horse in train ing. The grand match, 5001., all the money, now came off, and, as I was fortunate enough to predict, Dr. Caius won in a canter. To our utter dismay immediately afterwards the horse was declared not Co start for the Cesarewitch. Now, had St. Francis been handicapped for the latter race his weight would have been at least 9st. 121 b. What, then, would have been the odds against him had he only carried Bst 101 b.? The reader may now see whether or no I was justi fied in selecting Dr. Caius to win the great race. I maintain he would have won. Of course, Blue Bonnet directly advanced in the favour of the public, and as little as 8 to 1 was taken. As no less than thirteen started for the Nursery Plate, I can only say to the handicapper, whoever he may be, for the Nursery Stakes, beware? Some young horses run amazingly raw the first time they start. We had two remarkable instances of this in Assassin and Little Wonder. John O'Gaunt was beat very easy by Dis cord. The public seemed to forget the Cambridge shire Stake.; last year altogether. Some ef the best matches we have had at Newmarket this season were run to-day. The Palace Stable, thanks alone due to the Gallant M.P. for Westminster, is hard to beat, but the Hon. Member must not attack Garryowen : in matches Garry is known to be invincible. The betting on the Cesarewitch was flat, stale, and to bookmakers, most unprofitable. TIJESDAY.—The heath was by no means so crowded as on the same occasion last season ; but, if I remem ber right, there was then the additional attraction of a prize-fight in the neighbourhood. Colonel Anson again wins the Clearwell, value this time 5801. Murat is evidently an improving horse, and, as a very shrewd gentleman remarked, if the Derby is post poned, he may very likely win it : he certainly runs better every time he starts. After this and three matches—one of which Lord Exeter actually won—l proceed to speak of the great Cesarewitch—(value to the winner, 8951.), and for which eighteen started— the precise number I told you would start. In the lamented absence ef the celebrated physician, Dr. Caills, we stood on Ralph, although beaten in his nutch on Monday, as I told you he probably would be. Ralph, not rode by Robinson—too fat to ride the weight, confound him !—was beat less than one length by the winner. And does any man dare to tell me that Dr. Caius cannot give this horse 31bs, and beat him a length? lam bound to thank Lord Eg lin ton for not starting his horse, as a horse under such circumstances cannot be beat, at the same time I must express my unmitigable surprise that his Lord ship should neglect winning such a good stake, and —and not allow any prophecy to be fulfilled. Every word I said of Florence (second) also came off true. It was a fine race between three, every one of which, believing their respective owners, ought to have won: in my humble opinion the b9st at the weights won, and would win again run again to-morrow. Scott's two cut a wretched figure, and Mr. Etwall's Thistle Whipper, I am told, broke his leg : how or why they do not say. The betting on this race has been throughout bad for the books: true, seven horses have seen 8 to 1 in the quotations, namely, Ralph, Flo rence, BeFssirna, Portrait, llesling ton, Arcanus, and Blue Bonnet ; but the betting has not been sufficiently general to enable any five hundred book to get full against each. And here let me exclaim against the outrageous nonsense that weekly appears in the He rald and Advertiser in imitation of these letters. The editors of those journals are evidently not versed in sporting, or they could never be parties to the publi cation of such insufferable trash. My attention has been called to this subject by some " elegant" extracts that have recently appeared in Bell's Life, a journal that can beast of the services of a gentleman " Pega sus," an experienced man, and one who understands his subject. Judex will give him 71bs. across the Flat nevertheless, but it would be a nice point. The settling on Wednesday went off smoothly enough—it usually happens so at Newmarket. I fancy about 5,0001. changed hands, and no more. There were two races. The Garden Stakes, usually an interesting race, were not. Two or three horses were heavily backed for the Derby in the afternoon : Cotherstone, Amorins, and Progress colt. The first and the last. are in Scott's lot. Philip, Napier, Murat, and Sirikol were also backed for some money. Again, we had very little sport on Thursday, but three races. The L-itockbridge party have not done wonders this week. On Monday Discord won his race in a canter, but was not backed for one guinea. To-day Palladium was backed for some 5001. and was heat off. Bellissima also (they say themselves), de feated by bad management! John Day, you must turn over a new leaf, or you will send to the wall your re maining partisans. The two matches were both won easy. A brilliant week terminated on Friday with no less than eight races—l must say one word on these. I spoke of Murat's wonderful improvement on Satur day, but I was not prepared for tha gigantic strides he evidently intends to take. On Tuesday Napier beat him a head, and on Thursday was sweated : being very backward, it, of course, follows, that he would run all the better on Friday for his previous work. Murat, on Friday, beats him in a common canter : if he has a good winter, and goes on at this rate, the Yeoman and Aristides may remain in the north. Large sums of money were wagered on the match between Dr. Caius and Ralph. Colonel Peel and Colonel Anson voted with Lord Eglinton, while the Palace stable had a host of influential supporters. The Doctor falling lame, it was, of course, no race, and Ralph came in by himself. It seems that there was a reason, and a good one, too, why this horse (Dr. Caius) did not start for the Cesarewitch. H e has recently had a leg, as the saying goes, and they were afraid of doing too much with him. He will not now show for the Cambridgeshire I shOuld imagine. John Day (alas! John Day, you certainly are getting old) won two more races without backing his horses for a fi-ver, as they say in the ring. Honest John has shown more ingenuity this week than in any five years previous in his life, As we depend on the Palace stable for matches at Newmarket, the re sult of the stable's performances may not he uninter esting. They had horses in fourteen matches—they won four, lost four, received forfeit in three, paid for feit in one, and ran two dead heats. For this portion of the week's sport we ar4 . entirely indebted to the Hon. Capt. llous : in the name of the public and per sonally 1 thank him. After the racy on Thursday there was an amazing altercation and argument as to what horses really belonged . to Scott's lot. The question appears to be, whether those horses not actually in training are to be Included, as, says one, it is quite possible Major Yar burgh may send his horses to some other trainer. There was a great noise, and most gentlemen argued as they were interested, and nd fools either. As the Jockey Club, at their meeting, came to si resolution they would no more decide disputed bets, the " Scott's lot" question, as far as it relates to any bets already made, must be settled by the parties immediately concerned. The remedy for the future is most simple, for the narnt , s of the horses can easily be written down and booked with the het, and it need hardly be said that it is absolutely necessary gentlemen must know what number of animals they back or bet against. There is much to be said on both sides of the question, I confes , , but my opinion is decidedly that the lot backed must include every horse then the property of Scott's known masters, whether the horse was in training or not. My reason is this, simply because between honourable men, a bet stands as it was understood by both parties at the time it was made; and why this year an exception should be made, I am at a loss to discover. Mr. Nevill's horses generally go up late, frequently after the lot have been backed ; hut I have never heard the question mooted whether his horses were to be excluded. Cooper's lot were backed for the next Derby long before St. Valentine left Hampton Court. John Day's lot is often backed long before all Mr. Wreford's horses arrived from the country. We have no laws on the subject, but if long-established custom is binding, certes, it is on my side, People talk of the published list, when, perhaps, no two papers contain the same ; moreover, in the list I have seen I observe a horse named Game cock, the property of Lord Chesterfield's steward, and trained by him, if Mr. Dorling's Epsom list be cor rect, and I have no reason to believe it otherwise. 0ct.17. JUDEX. THE PRISONERS AT CAUBUL. We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter from Lieut. Vincent Eyre, late Deputy- Commissary of Ordnance at Caubul : " Caubul, July 28, 1842. " The receipt of your letter of the 3d of April re joiced our hearts yesterday evening, the more so as it assured us that you were out of suspense regarding our lives, of which you must have well nigh despaired. I trust all my notes in captivity have duly reached you. We are in the same fort as before. Several here have been attacked with severe fever, and we well nigh lost our valued friend, Colin Mackenzie; but he has now recovered, and the disease is abating. What our army is at I cannot imagine ; but the report that they are going back to India, without striking a blow, seems incredible. Negotiations are going on for our release ; God grant they may suc ceed, though we have no wish to be liberated at the expense of our country's honour, which I fear will not be amended by the pacific measures likely to be adopted. My narrative is now complete, and in D ---'s possession. I long for the investigation to take place, when every man will have due praise, and the blame be settl e d on the right shoulders. Seven weary months have now passed in the hands of these savages. We are well treated on the whole, but our hearts yearn to be amongst our own people again. We all here dress in the Affghan style, with long beards, &c. When we travel the ladies are obliged to wear large turbans to shelter them from the sun, having lost their bonnets and all we possessed." THE lIIGH BAILIFF.—A report has g ot abroad that Mr. Payne intends to retire in favour of Sir Wm. lleygate. This is is totally without foundation. Mr. Payne still intends to contest the election. some sensation has been created at Croydon within the last few days on account of the discovery of the body of a fine male infant in the water-closet of a house in the Addiscombe-road, nearly opposite the police-station. It appears that a young woman named Anne Cooper, who was a servant to the lady occupying the house, had for some time past appeared to be 'in - a bad state of health, but no st ivicion was entertained that she was in the family way, and she left her place about three weeks ago to go home to her friends, who live at Bromley. On Thursday evening,_ in consequence of inf orma tion that he re• ceived, - Inspector Collier of the P division, accom panied by Sergeant Prenderg a st, wen t to the house in the Addiscombe-road, and there discovered the body in the situation described. Mr. Neville, a medical gentleman of Croydon, was called in to examine the child, but in consequence of its decom posed state it was impossible to ascertain whether 1 there were any external marks of violence. Upon the body being opened, however, it was found that the liver was ruptured, and it was covered with a large clot of coagulated blood, and these appearances were attributed by Mr. Neville to some external violence, such as a fall or a kick inflicted while the child was alive. The girl Cooper was then taken into custody, when she admitted that she had had a child, and said it was a bad job, and she did not know how she came to throw it down the privy. The Coroner's Jury returned a verdict to the effect that the child was found dead with marks of violence upon its person, but that there was not sufficient evidence to satisfy them that it had been born alive ; and on Saturday the prisoner was taken before Mr. Reid for examination upon the charge of concealing the birth, when, after a full inluiry into. all the cir cumstances, she was comtnitte 1 to the county gaol to take her trial at the sprin4 assizes fir that offence.

The finer de scriptions of goods connected with the Paisley trade continue as dull as ever; but great numbers of the workmen are turning their hand to lighter, and plain work, so far as it can be obtained—and, we are sorry to state, weavers are so abundant, that webs of even_ this description can only be occasionally obtained as a personal favour. From the limited supply at the com mand of the Relief Committee, and the equally limited and indequate allowances given out by them to those in want, privations and sufferings have at pre sent to be borne by hundreds and hundreds of industrious families, which it is most appal ling to think of, and which it is a shame to the country should be permitted in it. To be deprived of food for one or two days at a time, is quite a common occurrence ; and then, at the termination of that period, the pawning of the last shirt from the back, the last rag of blankets from the bed, or some other equally necessary article, in the means usually resorted to for satisfying the irresistible call of hunger. Many families, during the last ten days, have scraped up a meal or two from the gleanings of the potatoe fields; and on Sabbath last, an eve witness informed us that he observed a respectable looking old woman engaged searching a field, near Meikleriggs, for such scraps of potatoes as the farmer had left behind.—Glasgow Sa turday Post. FALKIRK OCTOBER TRYST. (From the Scotsman) During last week great quantities of stock were brought up to the neighbourhood of Falkirk for the third "and last great market of the season ; and early upon Monday last the 10th curt., the Tryst . grounds at Stenhouse Muir, consisting of eighty imperial acres, were thickly studded with fine flocks of all kinds of sheep. It was alloSved to have been the largest sheep market which has vet taken place. We should think there were from 95,000 to 100,000 upon the grounds. At the Tryst there was not such a large proportion of the white-faced Cheviots as were at the September market ; but several very large lots of this fine breed appeared to the best advantage. Among them we noticed a lot of 1,500 three-year-old wedders, which were sold early in the forenoon by Mr. Scott, Hawick, to Mr. Pagan, Liverpool ; Mr. Patterson, Caithness, also disposed of several large lots early in the day., White-faced wedders fetched, in large lots, from 225. to 245. per head; a few very fine cuts of ditto, 265. Black-faced wedders from 16s. to 215., average 17s. 6d. ; a few of a very superior quality of ditto brought 26.1. 61., crosses from 7s. to 11s. per head. Sixty score of white-faced ewes were sold to a Northumberland dealer for 101. 10s. per score; black faced ewes from ss. to 10s. Mr. M‘Donald sold about 1,400 of the Gleneves and Benevis black-faced wedders, three-years-old, chiefly for Ayrshire, at 19s. 6d. per head. Messrs. M'Farlane and Mitchell, Invercaddle, sold 1,000 of the same kind at the same price. Messrs. Kennedy, Cameron, and Greig, also disposed of their lots at from 19s. 3d. to 1/. ls. The ewes, both Cheviots and black-faced, were less in demand, and for them it may be said not to be such a good market. Sales, however, went on during the day, and all kinds left the market in great quantities. For the white-faced Cheviots, from 10s. to 16s. per head was obtained; a number of the black-faced ewes were sold as low as 4s. 6d. and 55., ethers of the best kind fetched Bs. 6d. and 95., the average about 6s. 6d. to 7s. A number of lots of black-faced one-year tops were brought up for sale ; for this kind of stock there seemed but little demand, the best half-dozen we noticed vk ere sold by Mr. Foyar, Campsie (who is now famed for rearing the stock), to r. Richmond, Perth shire ; they brought nearly 31 per head. Mr. Rennie, Kilsyth, had 34 of the same kind; what were sold brought about 31s. Such world be the average price for what were disposed of. Several lots of Highland ponies were also upon the ground. Sales dull. Mr. Robert Carmichael bought a lot of 27 at about 31. each. The day was favourable for showing stock, and the various avenues to the south from the Tryst grounds were quite crowded during the after part of the day with flocks leaving the market ; and what was very uncommon at an October Tryst, they were often quite enveloped in clouds of dust. Tv ESD AY.-Early in the morning the Tryst grounds were thickly covered with a fine stock of black cattle, and numerous heavy lots of the Angus, Fifeshire, and Aberdeenshire breeds. What appeared to us the top, lot, belonged to Mr. Leslie, of Goat-milk Farm, Fifeshire, consisting of fifteen polled stots rising four year-old. The price asked in the fore-part of the day, was 191. They were sold early; but the price was not ascertained. Mr. Cairns,; Tillicoultry, had a fine lot of muir stots, crosses btween the short horn and Ayrshire breed, rising four-year-old, sold at 131. 13s. per head. Numerous lots of three year-old were disposed of at prices from 9/. to 11/. A great number of West Highland cattle, from the Isle of Skye and other parts, from two to three-year old, were 'disposed of, at from 3/. ss. to 4/. 10s. Small stock from the. North Highlands from 21. to 4/. For some time salei were stiff; but when they commenced, large lots left the market in rapid succession, so that prices may be quoted low ; stock exchanged hands rapidly. The day was sultry and warm ; the immense clouds of dust which rose in the south part of the marketlobscured the atmosphere, and hurt the appear ance of stock; continued throughout the day, and the parched animals, after leaving the markets, could not be restrained from rushing into the water-dams at Carron to quench their thirst. So excessive is the drought here, that the dams have sunk about six feet, and in many parts are dry. There was also a large show of excellent draught and other horses. Mr. George Water, Touch-hill Farm, Stirlingshire, had a very superior lot, and effected numerous sale. The best pair we heard of were sold by him. They were four-year-old greys of the Clydesdale breed, and brought 71 /. ; a fine three-year-old bay, also brought 311., and he disposed of another at 301., besides many at inferior prices. From the great number in the market, we think much of this kind of stock will stand over until to-morrow. Considering the immense quantity of cattle brought up, the influence of Peel's Tariff, and the state of the ountry, this Tryst has been considered a good market. ST. PETERSBURGII, OCT. I.—His Majesty the Emperor arrived on the 23d of Sept. at Tschugurjen, having reviewed on the preceding day the troops at Kursk. THE REVENUE.—IRISH STAMPS.—A fact is stated by the _Dublin Evening Post calculated to excite still more astonishment at the fall in the last quarter's re venue, which has occurred in the face of the large amounts derived from the Income-tax and a duty upon foreign grain. It appears that a sum of 80,0001. over and above the ordinary revenue from Irish stamps, has been included in th e last quarter's returns. This amount has been paid during the last five or six weeks, upon the registry of bonds, deeds, a nd various other transactions, in order to escape the higher duties —in many cases more than double the former rates Act— extended to Ireland by the Stamp Assimilation , which came into operation on Monday last. — Sunday Paper.

Foreign-office, -,1842 My Lords—l bag to caattention Lordships'2oth.Ala3 to the subject of the instructions given to her Majes • you r ty's naval officers employed in suppressing slave trade on the coast of Africa, and to the proceedings which have taken place with reference thereto, as detailed in the papers named in the margin of this letter. Iler Majesty's Advocate-General, to whom these papers have been submitted, has reported that he can not take upon himself to advise that all the proceed ings described as having taken place at Gallinas, New Cestos, and Sea Bar, are strictly justifiable, or that the instructions to her Majesty's naval officers, as le ferred to in these papers, are such as can with perfect legality be carried into execution. 'Ube Queen's Advocate is of opinion that the block ading rivers, landing and destroying buildings, and carrying off persons held in slavery in countries with which Great Britain is not at war, cannot be con sidered as sanctioned by the law of nations, or by the provisions of any existing treaties ; and that however desirable it may be to put an end to the slave trade, a good ; however eminent, shottiditotte obtained ottitr• wise than by lawful means. Accordingly, and with reference to the proceedings of Capt. Nurse, at Rio Pongas on the 28th April, 1841, as well as to the letters addressed from this de partment to the Admiralty on the 6th April, the Ist and 17th June, and the 28th July of last year, I would submit to the consideration of your Lordships that it is desirable that her Majesty's naval officers employed in suppressing the slave trade should be instructed to ab stain from destroying slave factories and carrying off persons held in slavery, unless the power upon whose territory or within whose jurisdiction the factory or the slaves are found should, by treaty with Great Bri tain, or by formal written agreement with British of ficers, have empowered her Majesty's naval forces to take these steps for the suppression of the slave trade; and that if, in proceeding to destroy any factory, it should he found to contain merchandise or other pro perty which there may be reason to suppose to belong to foreign traders, care should be taken not to include such property in the destruction of the factory. With respect to the blockading rivers, it appears from the papers referred to that the terms blockade and blockading have been used by British naval officers, when adverting to the laudable practice of stationing cruisers off the slave-trading stations, with a view the better to intercept vessels carrying on slave trade, contrary to treaties between Great Britain and the Powers to which such vessels belong. But as the term blockade properly used extends to an interdiction of all trade, and indeed all communi cation with the pl ace blockaded, I beg leave to submit for your Lordships' consideration, whether it will not be proper to caution her Majesty's naval officers upon this head, lest by the inadvertent and repeated use of the term blockade the exercise of the duty confided to British officers in suppressing slave trade might, by any one, be confounded:with the very different one of the actual blockade.—l have, &c.

The following is a translation of the Latin verses by the late Marquis of Wellesley, published last week, beginning with the words " Passis mwsta comis," and written on the uprooting of a favourite weeping wil low at Eton College. This translation is supposed to have been the last literary effort of this illustrious No bleman : Dishevelled, mournful, beauteous type of grief, That seem'st in tears to bend o'er Thames's tide, And still to rue the day when Babel's chief, High or. Thy Parent stream enthroned in pride, Beheld upon the melancholy boughs The Ilarps unstrung of Israel's captive band, When heart and voice, and orisons and vows, Refused the haughty victor's stern command To move great Sion's festal lay sublime, To mingle heavenly strains of joy with Tears, To sine the Lord's song in a stranger's clime, And chaunt the holy hymn to heathen ears. Down by Euphrates' side They sat and wept, In sorrow mute, but not to . wemory dead ; Oh Sion !--voice and heart in stillness slept, But the pure mindful tear for Thee was shed : To Thee, beloved Sion ! vain were given Blessing and Honour, Wealth and Power—in vain The gbrious present Majesty of Heaven_ Irradiated Th) chosen holy Fane Fallen from thy God, the heathen's barbarous hand Despoils thy Temple, and thine Altar stains, 'Heft of Her children mourns the Parent Land. And in Her dwellings death-like silence reigns. Rise sacred Tree ! a monument to tell How Vanity and Folly lead to Woe •, Under what wrath unfaithful Israel fell, What mighty arm laid Babel's triumphs low. Rise sacred Tree ; on Thames's gorgeous shore, To warn the people and to guard the Throne ; Teach them their religion to adore, And Foreign Faiths, and Rites, and Pomps disown !

ILLUSTRATION OF THE CORN-LAW:-.-We once, some years ago, heard a very shrewd north country man explain his opinion on the Corn-law, and the re strictive syztein generally. He did so, as pl_ain peo ple will often do, by a parable. In that part of the country, where great landlords are neither so nume rous nor so arrogant as they are here, harehunting is a favourite amusement with all classes. The dogs are not regularly bred and 'patched, but are picked up, and kept by twos and threes, at straggling farm houses, so that, when brought together, the y are often most unlike in ra ce, size, speed, and every other quality. In the pack with which our friend hunted, there was one remarkably good dog. He was s t a unch, sagacious , obedient, and discreet. He neve r gave mouth falsely, nor ever mistook or over-run the sce nt. Ile had bu t one fault, andthatwy killi ng as excei-aivhe ' was made to e I s peed. He outstr i pp ed ever y do g in the pack , never mis sed his game, and spoiled the sport by hare himself. To c ure him of this, he t carry weight, and a collar filled with s h ot fastened ro und his neck. Our friend said that heneversaw the dog without thinking of the Corn laws, nor ever heard l l l a e Nv s t awi dogth souhoittil i l i d n k b ie made pace of an g w h a t a p i ty to it was of tl th atl the so C eor n xc e - n a lead collar to keep him down t o the car r yse t o f worthless curs, not one of whom had a tithe of his good qualities. Our case i s even worse than that of the poor dog's. No matter with whom we have to compete, the load is unalle • the world are speed, and yet here we improvin g and outstripping us in of this restrictive are, with the leaden weight policy, as if we had nothing but the old lame pack to deal with, and when we find our selves stumblinthe load, but the g , some wiseacres tell us not to blame energies which so far have enabled us to sustain it .—Liverpool .—Ltverpool Journal. TOTAL WRECK OF A FIRST CLASS STEAMER. Bats Tore, SATURDAY, OCT. 15.—A letter was /V -ceived this morning at the COmmercial-roottra here, stating that the new iron steamer Brigand had barn lost on Wednesday on the Scilly Islands. This latti4.4 created considerable excitement in the mercantile world, and more particularly so from the fact of the Brigand having been built to trade between Bristol" and Liverpool, calling at Wexford, in which trade she had been employed for the last two years, having left the station only a fortnight since for the purpose of proCeeding from London to St. Petersburgh, for which p ort she was intended to sail from the St. Ka tharine Dock on Thursday next. The Brigand was ono of the largest and most limn tiful iron steamers ever yet built, -being of 600 tons burden, and 200-horse power, and was remarkable for the beauty of her workmanship, the splendid fit tings of her saloon, and her extraordinary speed. She , cost in building 32,0001. The rumour to which we have alluded above was unfortunately too soon con firmed I),y the arrival of the Cornish steamer Herald, Sampson Hawes, commander, from Hoyle, bringing the crew of the unfortunate steamer, 27 in number, and confirming- the statement of her total wreck on the Bishop Rock, a portion of the Scilly Isles. Upon receiving this confirmation. we immediatel y took steps to ascertain the particulars of .this unfortu nate accident, and the following statements, derived from the. chief mate and one of the engineers of the Brigand, may be relied on as correct. It appears that the Brigand having taken in upwards of 200 tons of coals, and a large quantity of patent fuel for her consumption on thearoyage to St. Peters burg, sailed from Liverpool for London at two o'clock on Monday afternoon, and proceeded safely on her voyage until five o'clock on Wednesday morning, when they saw the St. Agnes' light, which, from the refraction of light, the weather being very hazy, they conceived to be at a considerable distance—they were then steaming at.l2 knots an hour : suddenly the man on the look-out at the bow sang out, " Breakers ahead !" which they distinctly saw, but too late, un fortunately, for the rate at -yg*h.,theii-attosio. was such, that they could not stop her ; and, although they put the helm hard a-port, to endeavour to shave the rock, the vessel ' immediately afterwards struck most violently, and two plates of the bluff of her , bow . were . driven in. She rebounded from the rock, but in an instant afterwards she struck again, broadside on, the force of which blow may be in some measure conceived from the fact, that it actually drove a great portion of her paddle wheel through her side into the engine-room. The vessel was built in four compartments, the plan adopted in iron ships, or she would have gone down instantly, two of her compartments being now burst. and the water rushing into them at a most fearful rate. By the two shocks four and a half plates were destroyed, . and four angle. irons were gone in the engine-room. The two compartments aft being, how ever, still, water-light, she continued to float, and every exertion was used by her commander, Captain Hunt, for upward of two hours to save her, when the crew took to the boats, and shortly after she went down, 'about, seven miles from the rock, in about 45 fathoms of water. The mate attributes the loss to the strong current setting them upon the rock, and to the haze having deceived them as to the distance of the St. Agnes' light. The men connected with the en gineeringdepartment, whom we saw, give the following interesting narrative of the occurrence. They that having left Liverpool on the Monday afterncon, every thing proceeded well until a few minutes before o'ctock oa Wednesday morning, the vessel then going at fall speed, her engines making upwards of 20 revolutions in the minute, being then, as they have since learned, close off St. Agnes. They were at work below in the engine -room, when suddenly they felt a tremendous shock, accompanied with a report like the roar of cannon, and almost instantaneously a second shock, and the water rushed in in a fearful manner. They immediately ran on deck, and found that the vessel had struck the rock as before described. One of them was then ordered by the Captain to as sist the carpenter in endeavouring to stop the leak, for which purpose he went down in the engine-room, where they were still trying to work the engines, but the paddle-wheel being driven in, had torn the injection-pipes, so that they would not work, but at slow motion ; the engines being kept working, the Captain, as this man imagines, not thinking the leak so bad, and that they could get the better of it, or that, as the weather was so moderate, they might reach some port. On examining the leak in the en gine-room, they found a rent of at least five feet in length, the rivets being started, and.the plates broken, through which the water rushed in a truly fearful manner. They immediately procured a plank, and having fixed it against the leak, by means of stays, to the cylinder, they got a quantity of waste tow and grease, which they stuffed in and endeavoured to keep out the water, and partially succeeded in doing so ; but the other leak in the forehold being out of reach, rendered all their efforts ineffectual, and the water continuing to pour in, soon put the fires out, after which, there being then more than four feet of water in the engine-room, they were compelled to quit it. In the meantime, another portion of the crew had been ordered by the Captain to go into the hold, and throw the coals and patent fuel overboard, in order to lighten her, and blue lights were burnt and other signals of distress made. The men went to work steadily in the hold, getting out the coals, Sic., until the water having, gamed very much upon them, - they rushed on deck. The Captain having, however, addressed and encouraged them, they re turned to the hold and continued their exertions for about a quarter of an hour longer, when the water having rised over the hatches of the lower deck they were compelled to quit the hold. The Captain then called them all aft on the quarter-deck, and, finding that no further exertion could be made to save the ship, and that she was then fast sinking forward, the sea at that time breaking over her bow, ordered them to make preparations for saving themselves, and the two boats belonging to the Brigand (both jollyboats) were got out, and the crew, twentr-seven in number, placed in them. The Captain and mate remained on the quarter-deck of the unfortunate vessel until the last. The boats, which were completely crowded, then shoved off, without having any provisions on hoard, except a small quantity of bread, and in a few minutes the Brigand disappeared, sinking head fore most, about seven miles from where she struck, and in deep water. The weather, fortunately; was at this moment particularly moderate, or the boats in their crowded state could not have lived in the se-, and not a soul most probably would have been left to tell the tale. Having rowed to the rock, upon which they landed, to survey the coast, they shaped their course for St. Agnes Bay, where, to their inexpressible joy, they saw two boats, well manned, , oming to their relief, by whom (the man in the Brigand's boats being much exhausted from their exer tions on board) they were taken in tow. Some of the hands were placed on board the other boats to lighten their own, and render them less crowded, and at about.two or three o'clock in the afternoon they were fortunately landed at St. Mary's, Scilly, without the loss o! a single life. From St. Agnes they pro ceeded in a pilot-boat to Penzance, and the ship wrecked crew were kindly conveyed, Bristol in the Herald. The rocks upon which the Brigand was lost have proved peculiarly fatal ; ,i n .a c s ) passage free, to longer ago than 1841 the Thames sten n made or 80 lives lost.

The public, however, rosy rest satisfied that this delay does not arise from any want of determination on the part of the Board to bring to Justice and punishment such of them as shall be proved guilty. Indeed the strict measure which has been dealt out to officers not charged with frauds, but with inadvertence or deviations trom their instruc tions, can leave little hope of escape to those guilty of actual fraud. As •an instance, we may cite the case of Mr. Rolls, an officer of the highest character in the department. and against whom no suggestion or alle gation of fraud has been made—this officer was on Friday dismissed the service for not having communi ' cited to the Board an overture made to him in 1840, by a large silk importer in the City. A general im ' pression, however, prevailed in the department that Mr. Rolls had not concealed the fact from a superior offi cer at the time.
