Carter, on the bodies of Ann Brown, aged 28, and her illegitimate off spring Cecilia, aged a year and a half, who were found drowned in the river on Tuesday morning last. The evidence was first taken as to the finding of the bodies. They were discovered on Tuesday morning, at six o'clock, lying in the mud, forming the bed of the river, at Bar clay and Perkins's Wharf, Bankside, the child being firmly clasped in its mother's arms. Neither of them bore the slightest marks of violence, and it was evident that they Lad been left in the mud by the ebbing of the tide. Elizabeth Freeman, of 10, Mint-street, Southwark, was then examined : She sa id t h e d eceased was her sister, and resided at 20, Mint street, with a coal-porter named John Carey, who passed as her husband. The last time witness saw her alive was on Monday night last. The deceased . had no coals n or f oo d at home, and with her three chi ldren had been s t a3 i ng at w i tness ' s house all day, until Carey returned from work. When the deceased left her, she did not appear at all excited, nor make any threat to destroy herself. Deceased and her children were in great distress, often te:ng without food for a whole day, and during the coldest night having nothing for the covering of all but one sheet and a quilt., with which they lay on the bare boards. Witness be lieved the deceased had drowned herself and child in con sequence of dire distress. Mary Arnold, another sister of thedeceased, said she l.ad heard her say, when speak ing of her privations, "The Thames shall be my doom, and when I ga my child shall go with me." The only reply witness made was, that she (the deceased) would never have the courage, and thought no more about it. After some further evidence, the jury returned a verd ict, " That the child Cecilia was wilfully murdered by its mother, Ann Brown, and that Ann Brown destroyed her own life while in an unsound state of mind." FREE TRADE BANQUET.—MANCHESTER.--There is every prospect of the coming banquet being one of the most exciting meetings that lias yet been held in the famous Free Trade-hall. Beyond a few advertisements no effort has been made to make it known, and yet the whole of the tickets are sold, and hundreds are (tail), applying for them in vain. The interest increases daily, and there is little doubt that, had the hall been able to accommodate double the number, it would even then have been crowded to excess. LITERAT URE. POEMS. By Eliza Cook. Vol. HI. Christian Andersen has very beautifully and truthfully observed, that while a narrative of ad ventures is read once and laid aside for ever, those works which are imbued with the true poetry of nature are read again and again and with pleasure— " one comes from them refreshed, as from a ramble in the woods in spring." It were impossible to pronounce a more appropriate comment on the poetry of Eliza Cook, and at the same time a more noble eulogium, than is conveyed in this sentence of the Danish writer. The great charm (.f Eliza Cook's poetry, as its universal popularity may testify, is its exquisite naturalness—it gushes spontaneously from the writer's heart, and therefore it steals irresistibly to the hearts. of all who read it. Miss Cook has rightly recognised what is the high mission of the poet, and cheerfully has that mission been accepted. Her muse is never at a loss to find " Tongues in the trees, books in the running brook, Sermons in stones, and good in everything." " And good in everything;" witness, for example, her earnest and most persuasive exhortation to those who despise things of low estate : " TLIEItE IS NOTIILNG IN VAIN. " We may question the locust that darkens the land, And the snake, flinging arrows of death from its eye; But remember they come from the Infinite Hand, And shall man in his littleness dare to ask why? Oh 1 let us not speak of the "useless" or " vile," They may sauna so to us—but be slow to arraign: From the savage won's cry to the happy child's smile, i From the mite to the mammoth there's nothing n vain." Similar in spirit are two beautiful poems, " Let not the Sun go down upon your Wrath," and " He that is without Sin among you let him first cast a Stone." Some of the stanzas in this volume have been occa sioned by recent political events, such as the " Song to the Potpie of England," and "There's a hero in the South"— " All honour to the Pope, Long life ard fame to Pius, The world's heart still may hope, While such as he stand by And again the lines " To Alphonse de Laraartine"- -" The gentle poet, one With heart all mercy, and with speech all truth, Whose lays we love to hear at set of sun, Breathed by some happy maid, or dreaming youth." Some of the most exquisite verses in this collection are those which may be entitled songs of the affec tions. These are fraught with such a depth of ten derness and such unaffected simplicity, that their charm is irresistible. One of the best of these is entitled " Don't you Remember ?" The chief effect of this piece is produced by the repetition at the end of every verse of the momentous question—e. g. : " We return to the spot where our lufaney gambolled, We linger once more in the haunts of our youth, We re-tread where young Passion first stealthily rambled, And whispers are heard full of Nature and Truth, Saying, Don't you Remember ?' " Praise carved on the marble is often deceiving, The gazo of the stranger is all it may claim, But the strongest of love and the purest of grieving Are heard when lips dwell on the missing one's name, Saying, Don't you remember?'" The most beautiful of these songs of the affections is, however, suggested by "An Old 'rune"—it is one of those touches of nature which makes the whole world kin. With this quotation we, for the present, take leave of this popular poetess, whose greatest praise is due to her right appreciation of that title. " AN OLD TUNE. To C. C. " Dost thou remember whLn we roved in Summer's glowing prime, While Friendship's sscred bells rung out a soft and merry chime ? DOA thou rem, mber where we stood beneath the old elm Loughs, With laughing speech upon our lips and mirth upon our brows? Dust thou remember sieging there, in wild and fitful tone, A melody of bygone days—one of sweet Nature's own? Dust thou remember, Ludy, when the topmost leaf was green, Hushing the ring-dove overhead with 'Jock o' Hazel• dean?' " " Oh, little didst thou know the sp(11 that old tune had r me, A mist came o'er the bro::d blue air, a dimness round the tree, I knew the branch was sjll as bright, I knew the sky was clear, But I was breathing through a sigh and gazing through a tear. That old tune brought a busy crowd of shadows to my side, It flung a narrow flood-gate back that let in Memory's tide. Quick visions came upon my heart of all that once had been, When other lips enchained my ear with Jock o' FlazYl dean.' " It called up kind and gentle eyes whose glances fell on mine, Like the soft moon that looketh down to bid the dew gems shine ; It raised again the homaged form, it brought the placid smile, Till the electric flash of Pain laid waste my fairy pile. Lady! I know thou lovest me—but scarcely canst thou tell How bitterly this brain can throb, how fast these heart strings swell; As blight winds wither up the flower, yet do their work unseen, So didst thou smite my glowing soul with Jock o' Hazeldeen.' " That old tune taught me still to feel how weak and wild a thing This bosom is in face of all that reason's aid can bring ; And had I lingered by thy side, perchance thou mightst have smiled, To find rue as a harp untuned, and weeping like a child. Lady ! I know thou lovest me—let others chant the strain, But do not thou e'er sing to me that ballad lay again; Fur something; in thy earnest tones—probing where wounds have beer, Reminds me of a mother's voice in - ' Jock o' Hazeldean.'" ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Auber's delightful opera L'Ambassadrice was per formed kr the first time at this theatre last evening, and introduced to us a new singer, M. Bonnamy, from the Lyons Theatre, who appeared in the part of Benedict. M. Bonnamy's voice is a light tenor of great sweetness, and beautitully clear and excellently cultivated. He gave the music with infinite taste. Mademoiselle Char. ton was the fienriette, and was, as usual, triumphantly successful. She acted admirably, far surpassing in this respect any of her predecessors, and Auber's brilliant music lost none of its brilliancy in Mademoiselle Char ton's interpretation of it. The celebrated air, "Le ciel nous a place," was given with exquisite taste and ex pression, it was not merely sung, it was acted also, and acted superbly. In the finale to the first act she was lavish of her fioriture, but her oruaments were always in good taste, and the marvellous flexibility of her voice, and her wonderful power of execution, were here dis played to lament() advantage. In the second act, her duet with the Countess was enthusiastically encored. We cannot conclude this notice without saying a word in praise of the Madame Barntk of Madame Mancini, which was excellent. The other characters were all well sustained, and the orchestra, under the direction of that prince of musical directors, Mr. Charles Hanssens, was perfect. The principal artistes were called tor at the conclusion. L'Ambassadrice was pre ceded by an amus ing one act operetta, entitled Les Deux Voleurs. The house was well and fashionably attended. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITIITION.—This institu. tion has been most numerously attended, in fact in greater numbers than in any previous year since the establishment has opened. Dr. Ryan this week has been lecturing on the sources of heat, taking at the same time an opportunity of explaining the laws of combustion and the best means of obtaining artificial light. Dr. Bachhoffner still continues his admirable lectures on the electric light, and still insists upon its antagonism to all our best economics of L. s. D. Among the . latest ad ditions to the dissolving views is an authenticated view of California. The drawing from which the view has been taken was made upon the spot for one of our eminent publishers, who kindly put it into the hands of the directors. Dr. Bachhoffner warned his audience not to put too much faith in the numerous reports which are current, that no doubt much exaggeration existed of the untold gold of this new El Dorado. LUCILLE BELMONT.—It iS generally understood that the author of this work is a well-known Member of the House of Commons, and, judging from internal evidence, we should say that he has seen a great deal of the varied lite he portrays. The hero is the son of an eminent statesman, who is engaged in an infinity of adventures in England, Italy ' &c. We find ourselves in London, Venice, and Flore nce , i n succession, mingling wi h the leading notabilities of all sorts —wits, beauties, dandies, statesmen, orators, lawyers, &c. Our company being one while the gravest of the grave, and then again the gayest of the gay, with no lack of passion and sentiment."—Examiner. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER RAILWAY.—Another fatal accider.t occurred on this line at the commencement of the present week, at the Rhosymedre station, close to Ruabon. A train left Shrewsbury at a quarter fast six o'clock, and on its arrival at the Rhosymedre station at the appointed time, a man named Parry crossed the line, just in front of the advancing train. The consequences may easily be imagined; before the train could be stopped the unfor tunate man was knocked down, and fearfully mangled, his death ensuing is a few hours. It does not appear that the slightest blame is to be attached to any of the railway officials, the disaster being purely accidental, and caused solely through the carelessness of the de ceased. WILLIAM BERRY BARBER.—In the list of the names and residences of persons who have given notice of their intention to apply to the Court of Queen's Bench on the last day of Hilary Term for renewal of their certificates as attorneys of that Court, appears the name of William Henry Barber, described as of Howard-street, Strand. As Richard Anthony Webb, Esq., of Oxton Farm, was out shooting yesterday (Thursday), on heath land, under Haldon, the man who was beating for him; found a black adder lying in the sun, which he immediately. killed. This is a most unusual circumstance so early in the season, and is further evidence Of the mildness of the season.— Western Times. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. B.A. EXAMINATION, 1849. CAMBRIDGE, JAN. 2G.—Th© following lists of gen tlemen entitled to mathematical honours and to ordinary degrees have bean this day issued. The honour list as usual made its appearance this morning; that of the students who have passed for the ordinary degree in the evening : 11. M Brigantine Dolphin, Commander Hon. F. B. Boyle, has been exceedingly fortunate in the capture of prizes during the short time she has been in commission. the following, from the Deronport Independent, details her luck since the affair of the Lady Kennaway : "H. M. Brigantine Dolphin, Sierra Leone, :November 25, 1848. "We have taken four vessels since meeting with the Lady Kennaway, three with slaves and one empty. The first was a schooner, with 526 slaves, but the Grappler steamer comes •in shares' with us; the second was a fine brig with 535 slaves; she was considered the finest vessel that had been taken on the coast for a long time; the third was an empty schooner, she was taken between three vessels—the Dolphin, the Amphitrite frigate, and the Star brig—she is but of little account. The last was a brig, with about 780 slaves; she was a regular yacht and quite new ; she had never made a voyage ; she was built at Oporto, and taken to Bahia, and fitted out for a slaver; she was a very fast sailer, and I do not think any vessel on the coast would have taken her if she had a breeze, but as it happened she ran nearly within gun shot of us, in the night, before we were observed by her; we fired severe) shot at her but she would not heave to, and had the breeze continued she would have got clear of us, but at daylight it fell quite calm, and she was then four miles from us; about ten o'clock our gig and cutter boarded her. We took 300 of the slaves on board our own skip because she was so crowded, and brought them up to Sierra Leone." Wootavim, Jaw. 26.—The Niger steam-vessel returned to Woolwich on Wednesday afternoon, and is said to have performed remarkably well when tried down the river on that day, her speed on the average being 9.67 knots, under very unfavourable circumstances, the wind blowing a strong gale during the whole time. The machinery worked well during the entire trial, the vessel having run the measured mile twice down and once up, and then proceeded to the lower part of Gravesend Reach before she returned to Wool wich. Mr. Maudslay and Mr. Field, the constructors of her engines, were on board, with Mr. Lambert, who has recently beenrappointed an askitant to the chief engineer at Ports mouth dockyard. The Janus steam-vessel went down the river yesterday, on a second trial, having taken on board 20 additional tons of coals aft to bring her stern down in the water, and was found to steer much better than on the first trial. She still requires a very large space to turn in. The Torch steam-vessel had her steam up yesterday in the basin to try her engines. The Basilisk steam-vessel has been removed from under the shears to another part of the basin, to have the work to be done in her proceeded with. The Sampson steam-vessel was taken from her moorings to-day in the river, and towed by the Monkey, to be taken into the basin. The Vulcan, iron steam-frigate, of about 1,800 tons bur ben and 220 feet long, built by Messrs. Ditchburn and Mare for engines of 700-horse power, has been ready for launching some time, and that interesting ceremony will take place this day (Saturday) at about three o'clock, r.sr., from the slip on which she was built at Bow-creek. The Charon steam vessel went up the river on Monday with hawsers and riggers, to prepare for the launch, and the Monkey steam vessel, under the command of Master-Commander Bryant, will attend to tow her to the station where she is to be moored. A warrant has just been issued granting good conduct badges on the arm and additional pay to well conducted seamen, who will now enjoy similar advantages to those which have been enjoyed for some time by soldiers in the army. WHITE CONDUIT LOUSE.—TRII3 well-known resort at Pentonville, with its large room and pleasure grounds. is about to be demolished, to make way for a new street. The work of demolition commenced on Thursday. The, .41:!SING STEAMERS IN THE BLACK SEA.— Our Malta correspondent announced the gratifying intelli gence that the four steamers, whose tardy arrival at Con stantinople trim Trebizond, added to the prevailing tempes tuous weather, had given good grounds of alarm for their safety, had all turned up. The 27th of December brought the Tagus, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany, ten days atter her time ; pod on the 2Sth the Austrian boat Austria, fourteen days overdue, accompanied by the Conte Kolourat, which had been dispatched to seek her. Oa the 31st the Vacitou Tidjaret, Ottoman steamer, also got in. All these vessels had taken shelter in the port of Sinope, where they rode out the gale without any damage. The Tagus left again for Tx ebizond on New Year's Day. KILKIEL, JAN. 25.—The brig Hugh, of and from Dublin to Trinidad, was driven on shore this morning in Derryogan Bay, near this place; crew saved. The cargo will be lauded in a damaged state. HOLYHEAD, JAN. 26.—The Elizabeth and Sarah, of and from Bangor, was totally wrecked near this port; crew saved. Lieutenant• General Caffarelli, formerly aide-de camp of the Emperor, Minister of War of the kingdom of Italy, and Peer of France after 183 e, died at Leschelle, in the department of the Aisne, on the 23d inst., in the 833 year of his age. General Caffarelli commanded a division of the French army at Austerlitz, and was the brother of Maximilian Caffarelli, who was killed at the siege of St. Jean d'Acre. NOT BORN TO BE DROWNED.---A lad named Gilder, an embryo mason, was descending a ladder near Liverpool, when a round broke, and he fell to the ground upon his feet. Rebounding, he next came down into a deep well, whence he was drawn unhurt. Such escapes should be no encouragement to carelessness. A fall of as many inches another time may be his death. We remember see ing a carpenter some years ago fall from the top of a high building to the bottom, passing two floors of naked joists in his way (going through his work neatly, if we may so speak) and getting up unhurt ; while on the same day an acquaintance, coming down stairs, and fancying he was at the bottom of the flight when there was in reality yet ono step to descend, broke his ler, in the fall that ensued. —The Builder. EMIGRATION TO THE GOLDEN REGIONS.— On Wed nesday, this town (Peterborough), from twelve at noon was all excitement, from the appearance of two waggons loaded with people, consisting of men, women, and children, all dressed in holiday attire, who were preceded by another waggon loaded with boxes, trunks, &c. This strange sight at this time of year, of course led the townsfolk to wonder wherever they all could be going; it was at length ascer tained that the travellers bad stopped at the station, which was soon crammed with luggage, and that they were actu ally emigrating to the golden country of California, and had come from the neighbourhood of Spalding; it, at first, could not be believed by some, until the porters from the station corroborated the fact. We hear there are many from this part about to follow their example, so great are their fancied imaginations of soon realising fortunes, and foigeting gold is not food. STATUE OF THE IRON DOILE.—Mr. StCele's eques trian statue of the Duke of Wellington, which I a been so long in progress, is now in such a state of forwardness thst it may b e e srctd to h , sot up on the next Water loo anniversary. - d ug h laper. JAN. 23.—During the night we had a heavy storm from the W.S.W. About four o'clock, at eleven feet water, the first signal gun was fired, and in half an hour after the ice on the Upper Elbe began to move rapidly downwards on the surface. There is no possibility of navigation to-day, and the country people cannot cross without risk of life. HANIBURGII 7 JAN. 23, NooN. The steamer Princess ventured, notwithstanding the rapid drifting of the ice to start this morning for llamburgh, but was compelled to transfer the passengers and mail to the ice boat. The Princess was compelled to have the afternoon mail and passengers conveyed by a barge from Kohldrand.--Ha►nburgh Borsenhalle, Jun. 23. SPANISH AMERICAN BONDHOLDERS. Some very interesting documents have been received by the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, and by Messrs. John Schneider and Co., from Mexico, and it appears that in addition to the 25,000 dollars advised as being on board the Teviot, which has arrived this week, Mcssrs. Manning and Mackintosh have forwarded the 40,280 dollars expected some time back, but detained on account of the difficulty of obtaining an opportunity to remit. The conclusion we come to after perusal of the documents is, that there may soon be a dividend de clared, but our readers can judge for themselves, as we subjoin the documents : - SB% 16% 7 1 , 8% 4% 12% 2 a%'.3 25'4 ...... 204 2.; 1 A 29 1 4 21 7 ' 8 / 21v 10% 28% 8 x.e r l~ 131! 2 1 _ SATURDAY EVENING, JAN NARY 27, 1849. A BUDGET FOR THE MILLION. 7 - 0 THE EDITOR OF THE SCA. am very thankful to you for having so early pointed out the err or I committed in the 5 ix r cent. calculation, but which as you truly observe does not in the slightest degree impair the principle of my proposal to pay off the ch bt. It still remains -Ist —Discreditably dishonest not to pay i t. 2d.—Easy to pay it. 3d.—Profitable to pay it. Not so profitable, of course, as I had supposed, because it will take 10 p e r cen t. i ns t ea d o f 5, b u t still very profitable. I no w h as t en t o re p a ir the e rr or I committed. First,—You will observe that desirous of calcu lating every - thing against myself, I said that the value of realised property was from 10 to 30 years' purchase, and therefore I would take an average of 20 years' purchase. Now it is a matter of fact within the knowledge of every one, that the property only worth 10 years' purchase is very inconsiderable both in quantity end value. 25 per cent. instead of 20 per cent. would therefOre be a more fair average. Secondly,—You will observe that in my letter, I said " I will not now trouble you with figures show ing how a portion of the debt might be converted into annuities." Of course, if the whole amount was to be paid off, this operation would not be necessary. The paragraph was inserted for the purpose of meet ing any deficiency in the means ; and I purposely showed a sufficient surplus income to pay such annui ties to a considerable extent. Thirdly,—No honest man would desire to receive one hundred pounds for that which was only worth ninety, and no sensible man would think of paying more ; therefore, the debt to be paid off, or to be converted into annuities, would in round numbers be about seven hundred millions. Taking then the annual value of the realised pro perty at Mr. Macgregor's estimate, 220,000,000, and the value of this at twenty-five years' purchase, it would produce 5 , 5 00,000,000, and 10 per cent. on this would realise 550 ,000,000, leaving about one hundred and fifty millions to be converted into terminable annuities. Although I could not intentionally have committed the error, yet I can hardly regret it, because there are minds so constituted as to feel far greater pleasure in ridiculing an error than in grappling with an argument : such men would never have noticed the latter, while they will gloat over the former. These men are heartily welcome to their amuse ment ; I sincerely hope their shout will be both long and loud ; let the people answer it by one more tel ling. Well, if five per cent. will not do the work, ten will.—l am, Sir, yours very obediently, RIGBY WASON. Liverpool, Jan. 26, 1849. INDIAN IDOLATRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--The late reverses in India may teach a les son which should be attended to. India was not given to England for the patronage of a few direc tors, nor for the enrichment of their graceless nomi nees, but for the solemn trust of diffusing the religion of the Gospel there, and of converting the natives to Christianity by all prudent and pacific means. So fur evangelizing asl o ong• Ind we fall in •w ia i , th the design of th e Al m i g h ty we may reasonably look for a blessing on our arms ; hut while we send out gover nors like the late Lord Auckland, whom I have shown to have opposed his whole council, in 1840, by consolidating a large annual money -payment to a monstrous and bloody idol, whose priests and prosti tutes are to this moment paid by British money, we must no loner expect a blessing on our arms, be cause we all know where to read, "them that honour me I will honour, and they that despite me shall he lightly eiteemed." So long as the Jews of cld answered the end of this Divine ap pointment, the idelators of Canaan fell befbre then, ; but whn Israel revolted to the same detestable apos tasy, she became like Samson without his hair. It is not for lack of warning, for above twenty years, that the directors have fought every inch of ground to keep up idolatry in India, believing with the late Mr. Twining and Mr. Buller, that if we refused to let " widows burn themselves, and the worshippers of Juggernaut kill themselves ; we should he driven out of India at the point of the bayonet !" It was not till Mr. Grant and Mr. Wilberforce demolished all this trash in the House of Commons, that our country became wiser, saved the missionaries who translated the Scriptures, and finally sent out our own blessed national Church Establishment, and our Scriptural Liturgy, and what would Messrs. Twining and Buller say now, should they awake from their dreams? I am, Sir, &c., AN EAST INDIA PROPRIETOR. MODERATORS. William Bonner Hopkins, M.A., St. Catharine's-hall.

LISBON, JAN. 18.—The packet arrived from England on the 13th, with the melancholy intelligence of the Earl of Auckland's decease and the lost of the brig Mutine. The American frigate St. Lawrence, arrived from South ampton, and was placed in quarantine. Sir Charles Napier's squadron, comprising the St. Vincent, Prince Regent, Powerful, Orestes, Rey•uard, Plump2r, and Rifleman, have refitted. The Harlequin is also here. On the 15th Sir Charles gave a splendid dinner to the Prince victor of Holienlolie, naval cadet in her Majesty's ship Powerful. The company also consisted of the Duke of Pal mella, the:Duke of Terceira, Marquis Fronteira, the Portu • guese Port-Admiral and Flag-Captain Corvallis:), Sir George Sartorius, Sir Hamilton Seymour, her Majesty's Ambassador, Mr. Smith, consul, and all the captains of the squadron. The American frigate was admitted to pratique on the 16th, and saluted the Portuguese Government, the Port- Admiral, and then Sir Charles Napier with seventeen guns, which was acknowledged by the St. Vincent with the same number. Captain Spalding afterwards paid a visit to Sir Charles. The marines and boats' crews, armed with field pieces and crews, landed on the -south:: side. The marines were under the command of Captaiu-i)nsatoy, R.M., of the Power ful, who put them through numerous evolutions, firing, ece. The ground was very unfavOiire for exercise. The blue jackets were commanded by Cmatain Dacres, of the St. Vin cent, and performed their pacts remarkably well. The field pieces were dragged` by the seamen up a very difficult road to the ground, where they exercised with great alacrity. Sir Charles Napier and the Captains of the squadron at tended. 17th.—The squadron unmoored this morning, but a heavy fog stopped their sailing. They sail to-day (18th) for Gibraltar. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 26.—As was anticipated, the President, Captain Stanley, did not sail till eight o'clock this morning, when the wind had become comparatively light. The Espiegle, 12, Commander F. A.

ROYAL MARINES.—One of the first acts of the new First Lord of the Admiralty is to extend the good conduct pay re ceived and pensions granted to non-commissioned officers, drummers, and privates, now serving, or who shall hereafter serve, in the Royal Marines, and who shall be entitled to reckon their time for pensions equally for service afloat or on shore. A letter from the Board of Admiralty, announcing the Order in Council, dated the 15th of January, 1849, was promulgated to the men of the Portsmouth division at parade yesterday morning by Colonel Menzies, K.IL, the Com mandant, when the most lively satisfaction was evinced by the corps at having obtained at last this boon, which has heretofore been withheld from this deserving branch of the service. PLOMOTlONS.—Lieutenant Gerard J. Nepier to be Com mander; Lieutenant C. C. Forsyth to be Commander. APPOINTMENTS.—C. T. Jago, Midshipman, to the Centaur; Henry Machel, Naval Cadet, to the Centaur. Mr. Little, Surgeon, R.N., came home a passenger from Singapore, and two sergeants of the 45th Regiment. A ser geant of Artillery and several soldiers from Port Natal have come home in her. It is supposed she will pay off at Ports mouth. PRIZE MONEY. Notice has been given by Messrs. Hallett, Robinson, and Co., that an account is about to be exhibited in the registry of the High Court of Admiralty, showing the amount of bounties received for a slave vessel (name and nation un known) captured by her Majesty's sloop Bittern, on the 11th of August, 1847. Notice has been given by Messrs. Stilwell to the officers and company of her Majesty's shipßrilliant, Rundle B. Wat son, i sq., C. 8., Captain, that an account of proceeds of hull and tonnage bounties for the Brazilian brig Phaon, seized on the 18th of February, 1847, will be deposited in registry of the High Court of Admiralty on the 23d inst., agreeably to Act of Parliament. illitrb Mbition COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) HOARE V. DIXON. This case, in which a rule had been obtained to show cause why further proceedings should not be stayed until the payment of coats in a former action, came on for ar g ument today. The CHIEF JUSTICE said be had received a letter this morning from the plaintiff (Miss Hoare) which he handed to his clerk, refusing himself to read it, and he told him that it related to a matter now pending in this court. It was exceedingly improper to send a private communication to a Judge upon any case coming before him in his judicial capacity. Mr. Justice MAULE—I suppose we have all been fa voured in the same way.—(Laughter.) I received one, and read a little of it, but saw quite enough, indepen- dent of the impropriety of sending the communication, to show me that I was not compt-117d to read the rest. Mr. CARTER showed cause egainst the rule. He was furnished with an affidavit of the plaintiff, stating that the costs in the former action, amounting to 4081. 10s. bad been paid to the defendant or his attorney by the Royal Naval Benevolent Society, and that no sum was now due to him by her. She also stated that the action was not proceeded with in consequence of her solicitor neglecting to instruct counsel in time, and to get the at tendance of the necessary witnesses. The Learned Counsel stated that the payment by the society was good, that it mattered not from whom the money came, provided the debt was satisfied, and that therefore the defendant had no right to complain. On these grounds, and also on the ground that the merits of this case were substantially different from those of the former action, he contended that the course now taken by the plaintiff was not vexatious. The CHIEF JUSTICE said it was a recognised princi ple in Westminster Hall, where a party failed on the merits of the case and withdrew from the decision of the jury from a conscientious conviction that it would be adverse to him, and brought a second action on the same grounds, that the Court would, on application, stay further proceedings until the costs in the former one had been paid. The defendant was secretary to the Royal Naval Benevolent Society, to which the plaintiff had ap• plied for assistance, and the action was brought upon certain communications he had made to it respecting the right of her claims for relief. The case came on for trial, when she elected to be nonsuited on the merits, which were precisely similar to those in the present case. The defendant had been exposed to a demand of 408/, which was enough to ruin many persons, and it therefore appeared to him and his Learned Brethren that the second action was vexatious and unjust. There ells no pretence for saying that, because the society had paid the costs, the action having arisen out of the proper discharge of his duties, the plaintiff was discharged from the debt. The Court were, therefore, of opinion that the rule ought to be made absolute. Bele absolute accordingly. HOARE V. DICKENSON. This was an action brought by the same plaintiff. The CHIEF JUSTICE said there was no substantial difference between this and the preceding case, and was, therefore, of opinion that the rule ought to be made absolute. The other Judges concurring, the rule was made absolute. DENMARK. In one of the late sittings of the Danish Diet, the provisional discussion of financial affairs being on the order of the day, the Minister of Finance declared that the King was ready himself to reduce his civil list, in consequence of the state of the treasury ; the Minister, thQrefure, had to propose to have the propo sition withdrawn. lie added that he did not think it necessary to decree a forced loan as hi - d been ru moured. In the sitting of the same Diet on the lith, the Ministry was authorised to contract a loan of seven millions of thalers, and to issue four millions of new notes. BADEN. Sine disturbance took place on the 18th, at the sitting of the SzTond Chamber of the Grand Duchy of Baden. The President having ordered the tribunes to be cleared, because the public had loudly applauded M. Brentano, one of the deputies, at the moment when he was speaking violently against Prince Win dischgrae'z and the Ban Jellachich, part of the pub lic refused to comply. It was necessary to hare re course to the armed force. The sitting was then brought to a close. lIAMBURGII. FROM MESSRS. MANNING AND MACINTOSH. " Mexico, December 30.

POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH DENMARK.—A letter having been addressed by the Chamber of Commerce in this town to the Po stmaster -General, requesting informa tion as to the route by which letters from this country for Denmark will be sent in the event of hostilities again break ing out between Denmark and Germany, an answer has been received from the Postmaster -General, stating that, at pre sent, the mail bags from this country to Denmark are de livered into the city post-Office at hamburgh, and that this arrangement was made at the request, he believes, of the Danish Minister in London.—Hull Adrertiscr, Laredo Bay is a very good anchorage, but the north west side is to be preferred, as it has a good sandy bottom. On the 16th of August, at daylight. I left Laredo Bay for Port Famine, in which neighbourhood I was also directed to lock for coals, samples of which had been sent home in the Salamander. At 4.5 P.M. shortened sail in Port Famine, in five fathoms, St. Anne's Point, E.N. N.; Mount Philip N.N., the Chilian flag staff, N.E.N. Point Isidore, S.E. E. As it was necessary to wood ship, and to obtain ac curate information of any coal, I communicated my in structions to the Governor, and from himself, and M. Dunn, his secretary, was informed that there was no evidence of coal being in the immediate neighbourhood, but that at Sandy Bay, which I had passed, and was dis. tant from Port Famine thirty miles, there were coal mines; that they were four or five miles in the interior, and would by proper appliances be easily made available for the use of steamers; but that at present no attempt had been made to work them, as their was neither capital nor demand. They did not know the extent of the veins nor their proper direction, but from the appearance of the surface coal, were led to reason on the existence of extensive ' beds; they did not think that the surface coal would be useful, and if steamers were re quiring a supply, shafts must be sunk, and the veins properly worked. I visited the neighbourhood of Port Famine, but saw nothing to indicate the existence of coal beds, and the jungle was almost impenetrable on the hills, which shot up from the shore of the bay. In the different trips the officers of the colony bad taken amongst whom Mr. Dann'a appear to have been most various and numerous, no signs of coal had fallen under their notice, although they were naturally anxious to discern it, as it would render the colony more valuable to Chili, and induce settlers to live amongst them. I therefore considered it was useless to steam back and lose a week in exploring a district already well known to the colonists, and from whom all necessary infor mation could be easily obtained by vessels passing east ward. T. AYLMER PAYNTER, Commander. COAL AT LABUAN. Coal is very abundant at Labuan, the seams of which are about seven miles from Victoria Bay, but the method of working the mines is of the most primitive order, which it is to be hoped will soon be superseded by some more modern method. FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR BARNSLEY. LATEST PARTICULARS. BARNSLEY, FRIDAY.—Mr. Badger, the coroner for the district, commenced an inquest this morning on the bodies of the sufferers, and after an examination of two witnesses, whose evidence, howerer, threw an important light upon the casualty or its cause, the jury proceeded to vhew the bodies. So numerous and widely extended were they that the surgeon, Mr. Ayre, stated that in his opinion this pre• liminary duty would occupy the whole of this day and greater part of tomorrow (Saturday). The witnesses were directed to be in attendance in the morning, and the inquiry will be resumed as speedily as possible. Fifty of the sufferers will be interred to-morrow (Saturday)—vis., ten at Barnsley, and forty at Worsbro' Dale. FALL OF RAILWAY ARCHES AT MANCHESTER...-. Yesterday morning, shortly before five o'clock, a second of the large arches which have been recently erected opposite Gloucester -street, Manchester, and upon which the terminus of the Altrincham Railway was intended to rest, fell in with a terrific crash. The centres of this arch had not been re moved, but so great was the weight of the brickwork above, that they were not able to support it. About nine o'clock a second arch fell in, but as this was expected, the workmen employed about the -ailway were warned of the danger, and kept at a distance from the arches, so that no injury was sustained by any party. The third and only remaining arch was expected to fall in the course of yesterday evening, large rents being visible in one or two parts of it. One of the piers upon which the arches rested is shaken very much, and will require to be taken down.

TUB MORXON I IMPOSTURE IN WALES.---On De. comber 31 and N the White L. eir half-yearly association in the hall of Day, the "Latter Day Inn, Merthyr. It was soon found that the hall, then containing 1,500 persons, was inadequate for many who were outside seeking for admission ; officers were therefore sent to meet those who were not able to get in at the Alfred's Arms Hall, George Town. Th e platform contained from 60 to 100 " officers." The chair was taken by " Captain Dan Jones," when the following particulars relative to the society in Wales were stated :-10 conferences ; baptized during the last six months, 1,001 ; total baptized in the year, 1,932 (very few excluded) ; 73 branches, 156 elders, 110 priests. 147 teachers, G 7 deacons—in all, 550 officers. The Swansea Herald, which reports the meeting, adds— " The thousands of Mormons in Wales appear to have great affection for, and confidence in, Captain Dan Jones, who intends returning in February to the valley of tho Salt Lake in California. About 350 saints intend emi grating with him. It appears that 300 large ships could scarcely carry the ho s t s o f sa i nts w h o are n ow anxiously desiring to emigrate from the island to (as they say their future home.' _ POACHING BY STEAM.— Yesterday week, as th• mid-day train from Brechin was passing through the estate of Sir James Carnegie, Bart., a pheasant flying across the line was struck by the funnel of the engine and instantly killed. The bird fell between the rails, when the train passed over it without so much al ruffling ay of its gaudy plumage,—Dundee Courier. , COAL IN THE STRAITS OF MAGELLAN. The following are copies of reports from Captain Henderson and Commander Poynter, of the Gorgon, stating the results of their eearch for any coal forma tion in the Straits of 1.1.1ag, Ilan. her Majesty's St, am -vessel Sampson, Rio Janeiro, Oct. 22, 1848. Sir—l have the . honour to tc qua i nt you, that in com pliance with orders from Pear. admiral llornby, to make further perquisitions respecting the coal said to be found in the Straits of Magellan, I obtained at Port Famine, by the kindness of the Governor, a guide to conduct me to the veins of Punta Arenas (Sandy Bay), an d haying anchored in Sandy Bay on the morning or the Bth inst., I landed with Mr. Barrownran, second engineer of the Sampson, and proceeded to the first vein, about seven miles distant from the bay, situated on the north bank of the river Punta Arenas, 40 or 50 feet, above the level of the river. The vein is 30 cr 40 feet in depth, about 20 feet of which could only be got at for the snow; but all that was visible appeared to be clean and of good qua lity, and may be work , d with great ease. The road, us far as the commencement of the first ridge of the hills from the bay, would be about four miles, over a perfect level; the remainder, about three miles, is over several ridges of hills, and when it reaches as high as the first vein descends over a deep brow to tt• bed of the river, and is only a footpath. The second vein is a mile inland of the first, and the third a mile and a halt inland of the second, and were entirely covered with snow, and cannot be got at until the summer is more advanced; they are represented to be quite as good as the first vein, and also close to the level of the river. Having assured specimens of the first vein, and find ing the principal difficulty that would attend the work ing of the mines would be the want of a good road. I returned to the shore by the bed of the river to ascertain how far it might be practicable to take advantage of its level to construct a road to avoid that part of the pre sent one which ascends the hill; and, although I found the river very tortuous, I saw no great difficulty in forming a road on its banks to join that of the plain, there being abundance of material, wood, and stone on the spot, some of the trees measuring three and four fathoms in girth. The bed of the river is filled with pieces of good coal, which must have fallen from the veins on its banks; and as these deposits are numerous, it may be assumed there is plenty of coal in the neighbourhood. I ob served, also, indications of metallic substances at the bottom of several tributary rills and rivulets falling into its course. The veins have not been worke3, nor are there any ap pearances of their being so by the Chili Government, which has only established Punta Arenas as an outpost, under the command of a lieutenant and a small detach ment, as a matter of occupation. No reliance can be placed on a supply of coal there until a road is constructed, and the means of transport from the mines to the bay secured, as it was only with great difficulty I reached the first vein by the hill road, which was deeply covered with snow. I shall leave specimens of the coal for your inspec tion, and herewith inclose you the copy of an extract from Commander Paynter, of the Gorgon, to Rear-Ad• miral llornby, on the same subject, containing a state ment of his having examined Laredo Bay, together with Mr. Barrowman's opinion of the coal after experiments on board.—l have, &c.,_ TFIGMAS HENDERSON, Cap'ain. Extract from a letter dated at Valparaiso, September 26, 1848, from Commander S. A. Paynter, of her Ma jesty's steam-vessel, Gorgon, to Rear-Admiral S. Hornby, Commander-in• As I eras directed by Commander Sir Thomas Her bert, at Monte Video, to examine the neighbourhood of Laredo Bay for coal, I, in company with with several officers, explored for three miles round the bay, and ob served no indication of surface coal or any appearance on the rise of the hill or falls of the valleys to indicate a coal formation; oa the contrary, those portions of land we passed through were a continued swamp in one direction for and the hills were covered with stunted growth of small winter birch, and a few ever greens and shrubs; the streams that run in numerous directions from the neighbouring hills come untingod and perfectly clear to the sands; it is therefore my im pression that in the imm e di a t e v i c i n i ty of t h e bay there are no veins of coal.
