Upon the approach of her Majesty the word " attention " whether with one crutch or two, sprung to his feet, forming two long lines of 260'each. Every man had his card in his • hand stating his name, 'regiment, where wounded, and in what battle. Her Majesty was evidently affected by the scene before- her,' and did not fail to speak to every 'man. The inspection ended, her Majesty and suite were proceeding to their da:rriages, "drawti up under the Mar tello Tower, when the royal attention was called to the invalid carriage recently eent to this port from London to convey the.scierely wounded 'from' the railway to the hospital: This _carriage is capable of holding fout men at full length, and six in sitting posture, but from its im mense weight it is not well calculated for.its object.

Resistance to Adminiitrative Reform, in its real and practical sense, ; has , been Seized upon eagerly for this purpose ; and, as we have said, both of the Coniervative orators have striven to daub it over with their own peculiar colouring: ,Mr.. Gla.dsten'e boasts that be designed to make the civil service a s'epa rateand eicatusive - profession profession: Mr. Disraeli; while affect ing claims to prior discovery, extols the inventien, and accepts its development as a pledge. Mr. Gladstone boasts that Lord Aberdeen's Cabinet was more aristo cratic than any which had gone before it, and naively reminds us that it was by it that the far-famed civil ser vice project was contemplated ; a tolerably strong proof, were any wanting, of the oligarchic tendency of the plan. Mr. Disraeli-hardly takes the trouble to.deny the excltf sive character of the scheme ; and disdains 'altogether to enter into the question whether the commercial and manufacturing community ought to have au represen tation at all in the various departments of its executive governitent. Thus the approaching chiefs of the severed sections of Toryism seek to conciliate 'each other's fol lowers by perfecting a new plot for the more .effectual ex elusion of the plebeians. Sprung from the people them selves, they are equally willing, as the condition of per sonal elevation, to invent new bolts and bars for the de fence of oligarchy from within. Competitive examina tion may or may not be resorted to ; but the gist of the fraud which is now sought to be palmed upon us by Peelites and Derbyites joined is this, that while nominations to subordinate offices are to be retained in the hands of Government as before, no appoint ments whatever are in future to be reale from with ont, no matter what the claim of merit, or desert, skill, or experience in the working ways of tha world may, be. We have left ourselves but little spaee to notice the strange harangue delivered 'by the Prinie Minister on Monday night. Tired of playing the, buffoon, Lord Palmerston now assumes the tone and swagger of bravo, and flings about him coarse epi theteltnd vulgar phrases in the hope of damaging those who have ventured to tell the truth regarding him, and' of deterring others from imitating their example. ' This% septuagenarian hectoring will not do. The time is past when questions of personal veracity and of public mo ment could be settled by a resort to foul language. Lord Palmerston may elicit cheers from his official vassals by brandishing the terms " false" and " falsehood " round his senatorial head but the memory of an insulted peo ple cannot be bullied to sleep thereby. The - middle classes remember too painfully the persevering ribaldry ' and trifling with which every complaint was met, day after, day and week after week, in the House of Com mons. Mr. Layard was not the fi rst person to take no-, tics of the m atter; and were he bise or weak enough to retract every syllable .of reproach he has uttered on the subject, a hundred tougues as eloquent a 4 his would cry out that the accusation is but too true.

The FORTY-FIRST ANNU tL GENERAL COURT of MEM BERS of this SOCIETY was held within the Royal Hots% Prince's street, Edinburgh, on Friday the 25th ultimo, — The Very Reverend Dr. MACFARLAN, Principal of the University of Glasgow, and one of the Extraordinary Directors of the So ciely,, in the chair. The Minutes of the last Special General Court, held on Ist Decem ber last, having been read and approved of by the Court, the MANAGER read the Report of the Directors as to the Society's operations during the past year; and from which there appear, inter ails., the following results : That during the year 1854 there haft been 638 Policies passed and taken up by the proposers, representing Assurances to the ex tt nt of 455,3771. 14s. 3d. That the Society's realised and Accumulated Fund had increased to the extent of 115,5541. 15s. 10d, and amounted at 31st De cember last to 2,802,140/. Is. Id. That the Annual Revenue had increased to the extent of 22.1881. Cs. I Id, and amounted as at 31st December last to 373,901/. 135. Bd. That there had been 142 deaths during the year 1854, the claims consequent on which (including Bonus Additions) amounted to 204,088/. 17s. 4d. The Very Reverend CHAIRMAN then moved the approval of the Report in an able and lengthened address, in the course of which he enlarged upon the great benefits arising, from Life Assurance in general, and congratulated the members of the society upon the high state of prosperity in which its affairs are shown to be at the present time —remarking upon the successful moults of last year's operations, carried on as these had been during times in many re spccts unfavour able to the prosperity of this and similar institutions ; and also upon the fact that the mortality which had taken place among the mem bers in the a urse of 1854, although entailing claims upon the society to a large amount, was still greatly within the expectation provided for by the calculations. The approval of the report having been carried by acclamation, the Honourable Lord NEAvEs proposed a vote of thanks to the Directors and Office-Bearers of the Society for their services during the past year, and the motion having been seconded by Joins HUNTER, Esq , Auditor of the Court of Session, was unanimously a.rreed to.

MANCHESTER, June 19.—The quiet and languid state of the LiverpooL cotton-market has again operated un favourably on the sale of yarn and cloth, and the business has been very limited. In all cases where sellers have not been willing to make considerable sacrifices buyers, both for home trade and export, have steadily held aloof. In yarns lower prices have very generally been submitted to, but the offers made to them are generally so much below the concessions they are willing to make that but a small trade has been effected. Export houses that had purchased stocks of yarn at lov7 rates before the late considerable rise took place have to some extent made matters more difficult for spinners, by taking ad vantage of their present position and reselling at home in pref-rence to waiting until they can find a market on the continent. In this state of things prices are very irregular, and the market has been a very unsatisfactory one. Prices of goods are receding much more rapidly here than those of cotton at Liverpo )1, especially in cloth ; and where manufacturers have been disposed to day to force sales, they have to submit to a reduction in some cases of 6d. per piece for the common shirtings from the highest price touched a fortnight ago. To continue working at this rate, and with the pros pects before them, producers must soon incur very serious losses, and it will be learned without much surprise that spinners and manufacturers are at length stopping their mills at once without waiting for concert among their neighbours. In the list of names mentioned to-day of persons who were taking this course were three concerns in Stockport who had given notice to their work-people that their mills would be stopped altoge ther. A manufacturer and spinner in the northern part of Lancashire has taken a similar course, while other producers are resorting to short time. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report as follows upon the cloth-market : "From the date of our last report to the close of the week the market continued in a more inactive condition than we have experienced for some years ; and as con tracts have been running out, and stocks beginning to accumulate, prices have gradually receded, and are now from 2i to 5 per cent. below the rates asked a fortnight ago, but at which very few sales were made. To-day there have been large speculative offers made at low prices for India goods, but we think they have not re sulted in much business." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., say :-- "There has been a fiat depressed market to-day, with a more decided tendency to lower prices both in goods and yarns." LEEDS, JUNE 19. The woollen cloth•markets here to-day have been steady, both as to demand and price, and a fall average amount of business has been done. The general tone of the trade is as cheerful as can be expected, but the chief derband is still for home consumption, neither the state of the North American nor the Australian markets yet offering any temptation to send goods to them, and the war acting as a check to our exportations to several parts of Europe. Though very little is doing for the United States, the last reports of the state of commer cial affairs there are of a somewhat favourable character, and we may look for an opening soon for our woollen goods in the transatlantic markets. The returns of the Bank of France for the past month are again unfavourable, and present a further diminution in the bullion of 930,0001., making a total falling off of 1,700,000/ within the past two or three months. At the same time there has been an increase in the note cir culation of 1,300,0001. The other items of the account show that the deposits have fallen off 860,0001., that the discounts have remained stationary, and that the ad vances on securities have increased 200,000/. [ADVERTISEMENTI—Diarrhocea, Gravel, Stone, affections of the Kidaeys and other painful and inflammatory diseases which medicine always aggravated, have been perfectly cured by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food. We quote with pleasure the following letter on this subject from the famous Dr. Wurzer :—Bonn, 19 July, 1853.—N0. 51,482, Dr.Wurzer. It is particularly useful in confined habit of body, as also in diarrlicea, bowel complaints, inflammatory irritation, cramp, and hemorrhoids. Also in bronchiail and pulmonary con sumption, in which it counteracts effectually the troublesome cough ; and I am enabled with perfect truth to express the conviction that Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to the cure of incipient hectic complaints and consumption.

Not only do we mourn the loss of six teen gallant young fellows, whose fate would have been glorious if they had fallen by any of the common acci dents of war —not only are we revolted by the treachery Which fitist allowed this boat to reach the shore under a flag of truce, and then butchered the crew—unarmed, unresisting—with an overwhelm*force of troops, who sprang upfrom . their lurking places in the rocks; but, participate no measure nr ien tOO 0 e v t t ioo ng that i n while we deplore the passion and'viole n ce which so base and ferocious an action will impart to ever y.future en ncoouenffteorrt is i n t t h o i o s great wa and we. the authors of this crime to the condign punishment they deserve. War, no doubt, is full o f horrors, and is marked by a long tract of devastation and of blood ; but strong eo b r it is also the school of honour, Ond no laws are more sacred than those which regUlate its excesses. Between civilised nations those acts of forbilarance and of courtesy which are not unfrequent, even in the beat of a contest, mitigate the wilder passions, and show that in defending the interests of their country the combatants have not forgotten' the rights of humanity., The boat of the Cos sack was engaged in one of these very errands of ,civility at the moment when this murderous onslaught was made upon it. It was to convey seven Finnish prisoners to Hango, whom the Admiral had no wish to detain, as they were not in the service of Russia, that the boat was sent on shore. The stewards of the mess accompanied the party, in the hope that this little attention would be acknowledged by the per mission to buy some fresh provisiqns. Thus confiding, thus diceived ; Lieutenant Genest4 and his men pulled in behind the islands off Hango Point. It may here be observed that.this was no plot of our officeis to send a boat into Hango harbour, for orders had been given by the Admiral to land the prisoners wherever they pleksed, and it was by their own choice that Hango was selected. A flag of truce, visible from the shore, was flying all the time on the ship, and on approaching the jetty the officer in command of the boat again waved the same ensign of peace. It is, however, apparent from the re sult that the approach of this boat on its friendly errand had been deliberately used by the Russian officers in command at Hango to organise one of 'the most detest able and bloody stratagems recorded in history. Five hundred armed men lay concealed in the immediate neighbourhood of the landing-place. The liberated pri soners and the officers jumped out of the boat,--they were immediately surrounded by this overwhelming force. The miscreant commanding the party seems to have been a man of some education, for he spoke Eng lish—enough, at least, to utter a brutal oath upon that flag of truce which he was about to violate. By his order the riflemen opened a sharp fire immediately and indiscriminately on the officers who had landed, on the men in the boat, and even on the Finnish prisoners who had just been set on shore, and who fell to a man under the merciless bullets of their own, tyrants. Every man was struck clown, and, with one exception, murdered. One wounded man was dragged out of the bottom of the boat, where he had fallen, and was bayonetted upon the jetty. One sole survivor marvellously escaped by feign ing death as soon as he was hit, and ultimately cutting the boat adrift. This awful. crime was not, therefore, left without a living witness to relate and attest the tale, and to de nounce to mankind and to posterity, in the strongest language of indignation and horror, the atrocious cruelty of this unmanly deed. Among the dacoits who infest the banks of the Irrawaddy or the savage and piratical tribes of the Eastern Archipelago our seamen are on their guard against every stratagem of bloodthirsty and faithless barbarians ; but in what is termed Christian warfare, at a spot to which - orders can be forwarded in a few hours from the seat of Government, separated only by a few miles of inland sea from the capital of the Russian empire, and consequently under the direct con trol of the supreme_ authority in that country, we cer tainly were not prepared for a breach of military honour And of common humanity which would disgrace the re motest settlement and the most barbarous savages of the habitable globe. Had the authorities at Hango had any motive to prevent the boat from entering their port, or for refusing to receive the flag of truce, nothing was easier than to have stopped the approach of our men by firing a shot across the bow of the boat. Had they even attempted to take them prisoners for any alleged mis conduct or breach of the privileges of a flag of truce, nothing was more easy, for the party were. unarmed, and the disproportion of numbers on the side of the Russians quite irresistible. But such were not their in tentions. No signal was made to warn the boat, off, and,, when the gig aubsequentlypulled in to ascertain the fate of her missing comradesivan attempt was made by people on the shore, to decoy - her, toe,- , into their power. No summons to surrender was addressed to the party, and the strongest proof that could be given of the insane ferocity of the Russians, who were deter mined upon the instant murder of the whole crew, is that they shot down seven of their own countrymen, who had scarcely set foot upon the beach, and the Fin nish captain fell waving the flag of truce upon which the Russians did not hesitate to fire. Such is the nation which barely half a century age wrested the province of Finland, the scene of this tragedy, from the mild and free government of the Crown of Sweden. A crime of this nature—a violation of all that is held sacred and honourable and brave among men—leaves an indelible trace upon the annals of a nation. A period of 227 years has not effaced from the memory of the people of England the atrocity of the Amboyna mas-1 nacre, when an English sea captain and nine of his men were sacrificed to the suspicious policy of the Dutch ; and a century has not diminished the infamy which the night of the Black Hole of Calcutta left upon the me mory of the ruler of Bengal. As long as the annals of this memorable year are recorded in the pages of history the massacre of Hango will rank with these sinister achievements, for no parallel can be found to it save in the worst and most perfidious actions which have dis graced humanity. Indeed, this surprise exceeds them all, for our gallant countrymen were cut off in the very performance of an act of courtesy and kindness, and under the shelter of an ensign which every nation but the Russian knows how to respect. Throughout the world, wherever this tale is told, the compassion felt for the untimely end of these braVe young fellows will be followed by a thrill of horror at the guilt of their mur derers. Throughout the world, wherever the British navy can carry its flag or point its guns, an avenging spirit will walk the deep ; and not a British seaman afloat but will remembertbe boats crew of the Cossack in the hour of battle. It is not the least of the evils of such bad actions that they invest Jugtice herself with the fiercer passions, and render war more pitiless and destructive ; but, on the other hand, they show more clearly with what an adversary we have to deal—how false, bow cruel, how unscrupulous ! They prove bow impossible it is to bind the Russians even to the observances• held sacred among enemies, except by the influence of feir and of superior force. They convince us more and more that the enemy to whom it is our fortune to be opposed is not only the enemy of England and of France, but of honour and humanity.—Morning Paper. ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM. Ministers have agreed to place themselves under the i protection of their Tory rivals, for the purpose of evading i Administrative Reform, they have contrived to obtain t a majority of seven to one. What impression this ma nceuvre and its immediate success may have upon the mind of the country, it were premature, perhaps, to say. There are many earnest and determined spirits on whom such a declaration of Parliamentary defiance will act only as a new stimulus, and whose energies will only lee the more actively called forth as the necessity for greater and deeper changes than were at first contemplated is forced upon national reflection. As against the claim of the middle classes to a just share in the administrative government of the State, all the oligarchic factions have shown their readiness to combine. The pretences al leged by each of them varies, indeed, according to their respective antecedents and actual positions. Mr. Dis raeli spurns the popular demand as imposture, while he pathetically reminds us•of a bantling of his own, of wondrous promise, which was smothered in its official cradle, when he and his friends were driven from power. With equal parental fondness Mr. Gladstone tells us of the still-birth of the scheme, whose early obsequies have been elaborately performed by Sir S. Nortbcote and Sir C. Trevelyan : but which, had the breath of life been ever breathed into it, would, we are assured,all theha provedv s e lipper y a a n d v eirnysidHioeurciu jobs les whose folds now, capable of strang lingencircle the public interest. On the part of the Whigs, Lord Palmerston avers tha t the favo urite of the people is a foundling of low and disrf p utabl e origin ; but that an offsp r i ng o f r i g ht w m ho rd se ur c i l t i y •ess is still, i n d ee d, th e but whose usefulne ss i n aft e r t ho h lod e n y obuu a rff r a e ba ln n e d u p r ba t ir u ue r en i n tl ai g vg ee t ry, , o years will be felt and acknowledged. All concur 111 supercilious repudiation of the child of the peeroy aristo cratple;its in thefeatnresi house, ln(icat with twopleheian sympatliies ; a exceptions, voted accordingly on Monday night that it should be turned out of doors. Of the many long and tedious speeches delivered on the occasion, it cannot be expected that we should speak in much detail. Those of Mr. Disraeli and Lord Pal merston call, however, for some degree of separate notice. The aim of the Derbyite leader appears to have been to compliments be tween the opportunity for thro wi ng an other flying bridge across the chasm that still separates the Tory seceders of 1846 from the great bulk of their party. Of late there has been h the two nothing ex Chancellors o t interchange Exchequer. e of c Expe rience has convinced them both how much they stand in need of each other, and we must do them the justice ' to say that neither of them has of late been wanting in profuse offers of political hospitality. A delicate contro versy, indeed, is still waged between them as to which is to be considered the host and which the guest ; but where th e t en dency to embrace is so obvious, it is but natu ra l to expect that the objects of mutual affection w ill advance to meet each other half way. There is more difficulty in findin g fl oa ti n g 6 , topics which may serve as pontoons and planks for A short discussion took place in the House of Com mons last night on the subject of the reward due to the Arctic navigator who has at last succeeded in solving the problem of the North-West Passage. Events of such importance succeed each other so rapidly nowadays that we can scarcely believe in the existence of a period when the public were violently excited by tidings from Behring's Straits or Lancaster Sopnd. Sir John Frank lin and his brave Companions, Sir James Ross and his searching expedition, Sir Edward Belcher and his ships, Captain Penny, the gallant Bellot —such-were the names and the topics which were in everybody's mouth but a very few years ago. Just now all recollection of. them has passed away like a snow-wreath in the sun. We must not, however, forget to be just, be cause it happens that England just now it engaged-in a grapple with one of the great military powers of the world. England can well contrive to carry on a war, and to attend at the same tune to minor claims upon her justice and her generosity. It was Mr. Mackinnon who brought last night More the house the question of Captain M'Clure's services. It is an undoubted fact that though for the last three centuries and a half all the great maritime nations of the world have been striving to find a passage in one direction or another to the northward of the great continent of America, all adven turers failed until Captain M'Clure took the matter in hand. Beyond all question, he was indebted largely for his success to the efforts of his predecessors, although, even so, there was enough of uuknown water or ice in the inhospitable regions through which the Investigator forced her way to tax to the utmost the energies of the boldest adventurer. It would be idle at a moment like this, when every Englishman's mind is intent upon pro ceedings of a far more important kind to enter at any length upon the romantic story of the Investigator's cruise. Suffice it to say that in January, 1850, the In vestigator and Enterprise sailed together upon this List voyage until off Cape Horn, when they parted company. The Investigator in due time passed Behriug's Straits, and reached the ice on the 2d of August in the same year, without any tidings of her consort. Captain M'Clure resolved to proceed, because it was hoped at the time that some tidings of Sir John Franklin and his party might be obtained in the region which he had then reached. He took the Investigator accordingly up Prince of Wales' Strait, and in a sledge reached "Bank's Land. Opposite his position at this point lay Melville Island—the Melville Island of Parry and his successors— so that at the very moment the problem of a north-western passage, which had occupied the thoughts of so many navigators from the days of Sebastian Cabot to our own time, was solved for all practical purposes. It is needless to speak of the Investigator's further adventures in connection with the search for Sir John Franklin. The good ship lies in Mercy Bay, stuck hard and fast in the ice, unless, indeed, she be already ground to pieces or destroyed between the cold fingers of the Polar furies. We could have wished that, like the ship in which Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the globe, she had been brought back to Deptford, and that Queen. Victoria might have followed in the steps of Queen Elizabeth. This was not, however, fated to be ; let us only be thankful that we have got back her brave crew. It is unfortunate for them that the old Parliamentary offer of 20,0001., which was held out as a bait to the adventurous between 1745 and 1828, had not been re newed. Strictly speaking, therefore, nothing can be claimed upon this score. It has, however, been the custom to bestow a reward either in honour or money, or in both, upon all persons who have distinguished themselves upon these perilous expeditions. Sir Edward Parry, who reached 110 deg. west longitude, received 5,0001. and knighthood. Sir John Ross was rewarded in a similar manner for his discoveries in Boothia Felix. Sir G. Back was knighted on his return from Hudson's Bay ;so was Sir James Richardson. Sir Jas. C. Ross received the same honour for his adventurous expedi tion to the Antarctic Seam. Now, it would be difficult to say that Captain M'Clure was not, equally with these distinguished officers, entitled to honour and reward. After all, it was he who actually solved the problem, however he may have been assisted to the solution by the labours of his predecessors., The die covery--we grant it freely—is entirely useless to the human race for all purposes i f of navigation and commerce. It is however, something to have set at rest a question upon which the minds of men have beenviolently agitated for so s many centuries. Examples of heroic endurance, besides, are never thrown away upon the navy. Nor can it be said of Captain M'Clure's expedition that it was merely undertaken for a scientific purpose. He went to look for Sir John Franklin, and found the North-Wes- Passage. Perfect unanimity prevailed in the house at the proprietyof appointinga select committee to examine into Captain M'Clure's claim. We heartily wish him success, for lye has fairly earned his reward in the midst of dangers and hardships innumerable. With the re cognition of hie claim the cycle of Arctic discovery may appropriately be closed.—Morning Paper. BURSTING OF THE LOCK OF THE VICTORIA DOCKS. —The opening of these spacious docks at Plaistow marshes, which it was intended should take place in the course of August next, will be necessarily delayed some months in consequence of a serious accident which hap pened on Sunday by the bursting in of the principal lock, or river entrance, near Bow-creek. FATAL OCCURENOE AT BRISTOL.-A shocking Occur rence took place at Bristol on Sunday last, by which a Mahometan sailor, aged 24, and a young worn* the same age, met with their deaths. It appears the ship Duncan, of Liverpool, was lying in the Floating Harbour, where, on account of being infested with rats, she was undergoing a fumigation with charcoal and brimstone beneath hatches. The captain, 'to guard against the possibility of danger to the crew, gave orders that the hatches should not be opened, but the two de ceased persons managed (while the shipkeeper was in the forepart of the vessel) to raise the ha,tchways and go be low in company with a Malay sailor. At a little before six on Sunday morning, Sali and the woman were dis covered quite dead from suffocation, and the Malay nearly so. Mr. David Davie, of Queen-square, surgeon, used all efforts to re-animate the two former, butin vain. The surviver is, however, recovering. An inquest. was held yesterday, when a verdict was returned of " Acci dentally suffocated by the fumes of charcoal." • INTENDED DISTRIBUTION OP NAVAL PRIZE MONEY.- Notice has been given to the officers, seamen, and marines, and to all persons interested therein, that the ' distribution of proceeds arising from the Russian vessel Fidentia, captured on the 9th of April, 1854, by her Ma jesty's ships Tribune, Imperiense, and Leopard, will commence on Monday, the 9th July, 1855, 'in the prize branch of the department of the " Accountant-General of the Navy, Admiralty, Somerset House."

A. meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Strahan, Paul, and Bates , was held atthe Law Institutio n y es t er d a y ~ - afternoon, to conside r the steps to be taken to secure a full , investigation of the petition :recently opened in Bankruptcy. Between 50 and 6Q persons, were present, nearly the whole of whom are connected with the legal profession, andthe chair was occupied by Mr. E. S. Lee.' It was explained by Mr. Futvoye, who has adopted the initiative, that a number' of the creditors who have suf fered largely through the stoppage of this firm are de., sirous of a thorough inquiry into its affairs, and are con sequently prepared to pursue such measures as shall insure that object. Many, he stated, were at first in • - clined'to view the suspension as sine of these unfortunate catastrophes which may sametimes occur in busi nese ; but, as it appeared from all that could now be ascertained that the partners had been aware of their position for the last six, years, it was necessary to carry out a strict examination. It was therefore pro posed to watch the proceedings with great vigilance. Mr. Lawrance, who had entered at this stage, intimated that, as the representative ofthe petitioning creditor, he was most ready to state the course that had been pur sued and would continue to be pursued for the 'benefit of the creditors and to insure the legal distribution of - the assets. Observations had been made on the manner in which the petition in 6ankruptcy had been adjudi cated, and the effect of friendly influence in relation to it; but he thought he should be able to show that the step had been taken with a desire to protect the estate against extents ft= _the Crown and other claims which interfered with the interests of the general body. Having been called in and consulted, without possessing the slightest previous knOiledge of Mr. Strahan or Sir J. D. Paul, and having only a partial Acquaintance through one pro fessional transaction with Mr. Bates, lie' had given the best advice in hie _ . power, and the result was that, acting for the petitioning creditor, he had recommended the course in . question. This had occurred after the house had been culpably •kept open up to the Saturday, the plea of the, partners being that they expected assistance. Through the run on the Friday and Saturday the funds' • of the establishment had been ,diminialsed between •22,0001. And 24,0001,, and; notwithSta'nding their promp titude with the petition the' sheriff's 'officer entered on behalf of the. Crown, and secured 2.000/., the remainder of the available eash„besides which it was, necessary to give him an undertaking to pay 7001 . or 800/. additional, to.prevent him seizing the books' and closing the' pre mises altogether. An important question would arise . as , to the source of the hints which .may have induced many to withdraw or reduce their balances; and .if it could be clearly proved that any intimation had been given the Court would interpose its power and order restitu tion. With• regard to the choice of assignek, it was proposed to name Mr. Barwis, an accountant :and navy agent,' and Mr. Montagu Tatham, a proctor, and if the creditors present thought fit to select a third there would he little difficulty. An objection was made to the latter gentleman, pot from any doubt,ct his integrity, but from the fear that he might not proceed energetically, owing to his connection with Sir J. D. Paul. It was said Mr. Lee and'Mr. Appleyard, as being creditors and repre senting large claims, would be the proper parties.' With referenota to the non-appointment of persons likely to be influenced by family ties, Mr. Lawrance mentioned that Mr. W. Spottiswoode had been at first requested to act, but that, when it was intimated his 'relationship to Mr. Strahan might be raised as an objection, he at once with. drew. After a long consultation, in which the deplor able condition of the estate and the heaiy sums for whitih certain contractors stand 'indebted to the firm were alluded to, it was agreed to support tbe 'choice of assig nees propoied. adding the name of Mr: Appleyard, of Lincoln's-inn ; the explanation .afforded by Mr. Law ranee being considered satisfactory. At the close of the meetiogbe stated distinctly that he should act entirely without restraint as the representative of the petitioning creditor, and that he, as well as the whole of the, parties 'concerned, saw the necessity of an unfettered investi gation. It was stated that.there is scarcely a tradesman among the debtors under the estate, the legal profession, through themselves or. their clients, being' the principal sufferers. The two firms of Messrs. Strahan, Paul, and Co., and Messrs. Halford and Co., are identical, but the opinion is that the latter will, as far as its separate posi tion is concerned, be found in a much better position than the former. Some French railway concessions may, it is thought, produce an addition td the assets. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ABERDEEN AND SCOTTISH MIDLAND. The directors of these companies, it appears, have entered into a provisional arrangement far amalgamating the two companies. The revenue, after deducting work ing expenses, is to be divided in certain portions founded on the average of the past four years. The shareholders of the respective companies are to retain their present rights and preferences. The two companies are to lease the Dundee and Arbroath. Railway on ,what they con sider favourable terms, with a view to have the control of the traffid by railtvay from Aberdeen to Perth and Dundee. PORTSMOUTH. A !ipecial meeting of this company was held yester day at the office, Great George-street, Westminster, to consider n bill now before Parliament, in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords ; Mr. Mangles, M.P., in. the chair. . The solicitor read the heads of a bill to enable the Portsmouth Railway Company to make an alteration in the line of their railway, and for other purposes. . On the motion of the CEIAIRMLN, a formal resolution approving the bill was carried, and the meeting separated. CAPg This railway and dock company's bill baying passed the House of Commons, the directors have , tendered to the Cape Government for the immediate construction of such a line from the copper mines to the coast as the local authorities may recommend, on the condition of receiving a colonial guarantee of not less than 61. per cent., the current interest at the Cape. SOINDE. It is stated that advices by the last mail from India were received apprising the company of every support and encouragement from the authorities in Scinde, and expressing the anxiety of the principal residents in the province to invest largely in the undertaking. GEELONG AND MELBOURNE. The Geelong Advertiser states that the directors and their engineers have been indefatigable in their various duties, and that no railroad in England has been known to make quicker progress towards completion, consider ing the number of men employed. Gangs of workmen are placed at various intervals along the whole line of road, and to the north of Ashby they are laying down the permanent works ; and it is expected, before another 12 months elapse, that traffic by rail between Geelong and Melbourne will be established. PARLIAMENfARY COMMITTEE ON RAIL WAY BILLS. WESTMINSTER TERMINUS (CLAPHAM TO NORWOOD.) Mr. CORBETT reported from the committee on this bill that the proposed capital of the company is 143,0001., and the amount of loan 49,0001. The length of the pro posed railway is 2 miles 5 furlongs and 1 chain, and the steepest gradient is, in 97. The estimated cost of the railway is 145,5001., and the quantity of land traversed by the railway 109 k acres. Mr. Gregory was the engi neer examined in support of the bill. The committee were satisfied of the fitness, in an engineering point of view, of the proposed railway. In accordance with the resolution of the house of the 27th of March last, the committee ascertained that 10,9121. had been deposited in the Court of Chancery on the 3d of April by the pro. moters of the bill. • His Imperial Highness the Grand 'Duke Nicholas Nicholaiewitch, brother of the Emperor, is appointed to the command of the corps of engineers in Poland, and has left, this. city,for Warsaw, where he will take up his head-quarters. • MORE FAILURES IN THE IRON TRADE.--BIRISII.TORAM• Tuesday.—Other suspensions, in. addition to .those al ready announced, have occurred within..the last few days in South Staffordshire. -Messrs. Whit.honse and JO. ferias, of the Phoenix Works, West Bromwich, have issued circulars calling their creditors together at the Queen's Hotel, Birmingham, on Friday next, for the purpose of determining , the. course to be taken. with the view of managing and distributing the assets of tlie estate. The creditors of Mr. Jefferies, ironmaster, of Hart's-hill, Works, were also summoned for the same day and for a - like purpose: . The debts .and liabilities Of the two concerns, which in ,some degree are understood to he connected, are roughly quoted at about 100,0001., :4 third ,firm, of some standing,, zed well known in the trade—that of• Messrs. Hickman, of Bilston—have been compelled.to ask indulgence frowtheir creditors, and a . Meeting has been called'to adjudicate . upon the state of their affairs ' • and lastly, Mr. Joseph Spencer, ironmaster, who is invo lved by-the failure of. his brother,...is endea vouring to negotiate an arrangement with the claimants upon his estate, which, it is hoped, will realise 6s. In the pound, Other firms are freely spoken of, but sufß , &lent for the day is the evil thereof. A, meetingof the • 'creditors of the Messrs. 'Davies, of West Bromwich, was held at the Queen's Hotel in this town yesterday, but again adjourned to allow the committee of inquiry further time for the , completion of .their work of inspoc tion. It appears to ,he the anxious wish of all parties, if possible, to avoid the Court of Bankruptcy. It was mentioned on Friday that thu revelations daily taking place in connection with the affairs of Strahan, Paul, and Co., seemed likely to.put their failure .before the, public as one of the worst upon, record.

It appeared that, during 20} years of actual hostilities, 576 actions were fought, anti in them 4,787 officers and men were killed, 14,270 wounded, and 325 drowned or destroyed in ships sunk .or blown up, and that, in the same period, 13,621 lives were lost by ship wreck. The author gave some details as to the probable proportion of deaths among the wounded, and compared the mortality from disease in time of war with that which prevailed in time of peace. Assuming the aiigrage strength of the navy to be 110,180 men, he stated, as the result of a eareful inquiry into all the accessible in furination upon the subject, that, in the 20i years of war 6,663 had been killed,: drowned, or died of wounds received in action ; 13,621 had met their death from shipwreck, and 72,102 had died from diseases and acci dents ; making a -Aottil mortality of 92,484; He esti mated the mortality from the same causes for the same periiid in time of peace as follows :—Shiptvreck, 1,636 ; disease.andaccidents, 27,440; total mortality, 29,076 ; thus showing, an excess of mortality caused by war, in dependent of those killed in action. THE IMPERATRIOI? •TRANSPORT. MARGATE, • Jun c 18.—This vessel, which.sunk in th e Gulls after having been in collisioh on the sth inst., still remains with her mast-heads 'above,waterin the narrow part of, the, channel. .. .The divers for the ,last few days have been unable to continue their operations from the strong 'winds that have preveed, together with the spring tides. They have saved- the greater part of the Minis rifles and army clothing that were on board. With favourable Weather 'they will save the whole, 'also 6000 shells, and about 100 tons:of powder ; b u t it Is a work of great lab our and risk. When the cargo is out they 'will endeavour to weigh the vessel, which is esti mated at 16,0001. value, as she was quite new. 'The arms and clothing were forwarded immediately to Woolwich and the Tower by a Government steamer. About 40 cases addressed to officers in' the Crimea, containing uniforms and other necessaries, have also been landed. On their being opened they were found, nctwithstanding they were mostly packed in tin and soldered up, to be thoroughly saturated with salt water. It is well known that the pressure of the water a few fathoms from the surface becomes very great, but the cargo of this unfortunate vessel is only at high water about 8 or 9 fathoms ; yet 'the shells, which are empty, with wooden plugs screwed,into the holes, are found to be generally full of water. A portable leather -cased bottle, with a cork and a top screwed on, was also found to contain salt water, which one may reasonably con clude was not in it when shipped. Every care appears to be taken to preserve the contents of the private pack ages from total loss, and it is to be hoped, for the sake of the divers who are, at work, that the Government s s e a s y , stores which are sent up to Woolwich and the To wer awaiting not ti ng b o r e allowed der s frot t ot the remain i various sd departments, spoil in the to stores, nothing of the loss to the country, which by prompt measures might be prevente.l. TELE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. The telegraphic communication between America and Europe, precedent to its extension round the globe, is too large a theme for any single hero. It is an idea. And yet the parties engaged in its realisation regard it as already certain to be carried out. The experience of the Black Sea telegraph, for instance, is thought to be conclusive, if shorter lines previously established were not. From Balaklava to Varna the wires stretch under water more than 350 miles, and cot the slightest diffi culty is experienced in using them. There can, then, be no difficulty in sending electricity across the Atlantic by the same means. . The length of the wires from Ireland to Newfoundland will be some 1,750 miles ; they will lie on the sandy plain which the soundings of our Government have shown to stretch from land to land for the whole distance, with the exception of about 200 miles next .to the Irish coast, where the botiOin becomes ' irreghlar and the water deeper. The actual distance is . some 1,600 miles only, but it will_ be necessary to make.a detour With the wires in order to carry them round the Banks, where icebergg , oftengrotmd,.and where the cable might be broken by their weight and friction.
