STATES'S ROYAL HOTEL NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. PUBLICATIONS. \ jilt 4 , POST -OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY , for 1849, being the Fiftieth Annual Puid:cation, is now pub lishing in 2,000 royal octavo pages, price Ms ; Stna , lar Edition, 15s. It has already received flu following highly gratifying notice in the leading Metropolitan Journal.:— . SUN, NOVEMBER 30, 1818. The year 1849 is the jubilee of this most useful, most meritorious, and most carefully compiled work of reference. It is now just half a century since ,the " Post-office London Directory" first became a 'candidate for public favour, and for many years it waged an unequal ,War with other publications of a similar character. Fortunately, however, for the public, it became, in 1830, the property of its pre sent proprietor, who, with that energy and enterprise which, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, commands success, determined to make it in reality what it was in name—a directory and guide to the streets, the professions, and the trades of London—to make it a Mirror of the metropolis of the commercial world. To accomplish this, neither pains nor expense were spared ; the work was extended to nearly double the usual size, accuracy was secured by establishing a system of collecting information, and a system of checking and c omparing the results of the information thus collected. A map of Loudon was added; and thus the " Post-office London Directory." by the greater extent and greater accuracy of its information, and by the more lucid arrangement of its contents, was enabled to drive every rival from the field. THE TIMES, NOVEMBER 30, 1848. The volume for the'approaching year, 1849, being the 50th volume or this publication, has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court. This volume contains all the matter which enriched those of the present and preceding years, with all such int- P' ovements as increased activity of research and careful investiga tion can supply. It appears to lie as accurate a compilation for the Offices, trades, occupations, and residences of thousands of persons as the most minute inquiry and the most methodical arrangement can furnish. Perhaps no book more effectually answers the purposes for which it is intended than tuis does. It is necessarily a bulky volume ; but its bulk, contrary to the general role, is an advantage, and it may bo said to contain no superfluous pages whatever. It is well printed, and well got up, and has a map of London prefixed to it, which will be found useful. The proprietor his had for many years an arduous task in carrying out his object, but his labours have terminated in complete success. Ile has conferred a benefit on the Public, and it is their duty, as well as their interest, to patronise his Work. MORNING HERALD, NOVEMBER 30, 1848. This stupendous and indispensable book has, with honourable Punctuality, again made its appearance, having completed 50 years of its existence—a lapse of time that has imperceptibly added to the experience of those who have been engaged in its production, and given it, by the accumulation of resources, every conceivable feature of utility. Although comprising such a myriad of isolated facts, il lustrative of the commercial and professional pursuits of the inhabi tants of this vast metropolis, we do not remember any case of error, and the care which has thus been bestowed upon its preparation has established it as an authoritative Directory of the capital of Great -Brit ain, laughing i ivalry to scorn. How such an enormous body of !Pecifle intelligence could be got together at all is a matter of wonder, but how the masses of detail brought in from the army of labourers eta Ployed to collect it could have been so adroitly digested, and placed i n a shape so Immediately adapted for reference, is more surprising 'till. There, however, is a book of upwards of two thousand royal octavo pages, taking the whole of London within its grasp, and exhi biting its streets and the avocations of its residents, in trelsie alpha bet, whereby the convenience of the searcher after an unknown 4 , ‘ nereabouts" is met at all points. The " Post-office Directory" is, it short i a Monument of most valuable enterprise, and achieved, as nOw s, bj private machinery, without the aid that was f Tmerly accorded it by the 'etter carriers, presents a matchless example of Welt -directed diligence and perseverance. The arrangements of the present volume are similar to those which have distinguished the work for the last two sr three years, the com pleteness which the proprietor has accomplished hardly admittin; of any further extension. We find, however, that the entire surface of the 'Metropolis has been revised, and such alterations made that Changes of address and the opening of new establishments rendered necessary, while the suburban neighbourhoods, which are generally swelling into importance and becoming fresh hives of human exist ence and human industry, are vigbantly detected and submitted to the governing modes of analysis. MORNING CHRONICLE, DECEMBER 1, 1849. This valuable work is so well known and appreciated, that it would be a work of supererogation to enter into any explanation as to its stature and merits. It is sufficient to state that this is the fiftieth Publication under the we title, and it contains a mass of formation which can nowhere else be obtained, relative to the 845'nnItnercial; professional, and other interest , in this great metr , polis, re as render it , possession almost absolutely necessary to any one In London, and who takes acive part in the business of Present volume exten.ls to upwards of 2,000 pages ; but not gun nding its bulky appearance, it contains . such an enormous b ce .: l .,, n t n itY of details, as really to render it surprising hew it could be di,`,t!esed into such a compass, and at the same time be so admirably ryßested a t d and arranged, that any reference may be found out with i.t.ie the _ hen Inore test facility. When this publication was first started, it was . 1 selast few an alphabetical llst of names and addresses ; but wit n years the whole plan has been so expanded as to corn ,not less than twelve separate parts, under the titles of the ofn- Lthe Street, the Commercial, the trades. the Law, the Court, the ",I"alnent,ry, the Postal, the City, the Conveyance, the Rankin:4. q uisi t t li e Assurance Directories. Under each of t hese heads every re eon, e i nforMa*ion is T hß e under given, so that any Net which can p operly any one of these categories can at once be ascertained. ha - ,,,'"ngement of the present volume is simil ,r to those which the " e en Published for the last three or four years, but the whole of bten,,_tepts have been carefully revised, and such alterations have w e since last year as the changes which have taken place in h ie - c'ldences, appointment, and arrangements under the classes sera have mentioned have rendered necessary to secure ac %w There has also been a considera'de extension in many of its Pre arinien ts- An extremely well-engraved new map of Loudon , Pared expressly for this work, faces the title-page.

To the energy, the enter and the tiuwearying exertions of the Messrs. Kelly this great r o Polis is indebted for having a directory worthy of the gigantic Interests contained within its circumference. Such a directory no toher city i n t h e world can boast of possess i ng. It i s rea lly amaz i ng °nen this huge volume and contemplate the mass of information ntained therein ; and when its accuracy is tested by referring to details within our own personal cognizance, it is impossible to Withhold,, the expression of our a d m i ra ti on f o r th e stupendous com • Ppation, and of our belief in its general truthfulness. The classifica .tioh is most complete, and under the heads of " Official," ~ s tree t , " Commercial,', " Trades," " Law," Court," " Parliamentary," Postal." " City," tt Conveyance," " Banking," &c., all the per 10nal and other information which the most copious directory can %apart is found with the greatest facility. This work is really a line monument of our country's commercial greatness and persever ing industry. MORNING ADVERTISER, DECEMBER 2, 1848. This remarkable, bulky, and well-known work, with the publica tion for 1849 (now on the eve of being issued), reaches its fiftieth, or Jubilee year; and, as if duly to celeb ra t e th a t s i gnal event, D 'essts.

This gigantic volume or business and residential Information has now completed its half century, or year of jubilee; and is, we sup pose, unrivalled in the variety, utility, and precision of its facts. Upwards of two thousand pages in double and treble columns are here presented,' touching the names, callings, and abodes •f people in business, or out of it, classified in every way to facilitate reference„ besides particular information concerning public offices, official men conveyances, bankers, and the Post-office. ATLAS, DECEMBER 2, _lB4B, We look upon this book as a national blessing. Who has not found the use of it? who has not turned the information it contains to profitable account? It is now in the jubilee year of its existence, arid, if possible, is more compete in its details than any of its pre decessors. Its amplitude and correctness are marvellous ; and that they are duly appreciatel we need no better proof than the fact of the übiquity of its presence. Go where you will you are sure to meet it. It is impossible to live a week in London without feeling the want of such a work. LITERARY GAZETTE, DECEMBER 9, 1848. Two thousand and eighty-eight pages comprise this volume, which, we beiieve, we may safely affirm, could only relate to Eng land and be made in England ; for all the world besides could not ply such matter, nor furnish such means for making it tho roughly known and easily found. The production of a newspaper is a daily wander—the " Post-office Directory" is an annual one. The information collected is prodigious, the arrangement as near as pos sible to perfection, and as far as we can test it by many references, the details accurate to a nicety beyond eulogdem. Everybody is aware of what this Iliad, not in a nutshell, but for Its intelligence incredibly compressed, consists ; and therefore we will not enter into the particulars, but merely say that all official, social, cum. mercial, legal, parliamentary, courtly, and other information which may be required for coaveniency, business, or pleasure, in this unbounded Babylon, of ours, is here; most useful and, complete in every branch and department. HERAPATIPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, DECEMBER 9, 1848. There is no work of the day, in the nature of a compilation, equal to this, both in regaril to the labour bestowed upon it and utilly to Vie public. It has new become an authentie'means of en abling one part of the inhabitants of this great metropolis to know the abodes of their fellows. It has been said, that whatever is formed for long duration arrives slowly to maturity. The Directory has been fifty years in a .con dition of growth, and, by its appearance and contents, we should judge, has arrived at maturity ; therefore it is but reasonable to conclude that its existence will be lonvz and flourishing, Of the half century the " Direct , ry" has been published, it has been twelve years in the hands of the Messrs. Kelly ; and it is within this peri.d the work has acquired its high position—a posi tion so distinguished, that it attracted some time since even the loving attention of Government. and would no doubt have fallen into its hands, but for the difficulty of yearly producing a work of equal utility to the public, and of making the price at which it 13 sold re munerative for the labour devoted upon it.

TII E POET and the PUMP. A TALE OF THE EAST. Where Aldgate Pump suspends its iron bowl, A far-famed poet took his morning stroll ; And as he neared the venerable pump, Which long has braved the weather like a trump, A stranger s voice in plaintive accents bid The poet stop— and stop the poet did. Then turning round to east, west, north and south, He found the voice was Irons a watery mouth. " Stay, gentle laureate of the Prince of Trade, And listen while my few r•-marks are made. I've often wondered why you never sing Of ancient Alcigate's celebrated spring. You need not fear a theme like this to choose, I would not throw cold water on your muse. You've sung of Aldgate Bells and Aldgate Church, But leave the Pump of Aldgate in the lurch. On London's Stone you've also used your quill, And that tall Monument on Fish-street-hill.

MOSES' FAMED HAT MART, Which arises yonder, Can ne'er be matched, you know, where'er you wander. MOSES, you know, have decorated gaily, The ultitudes of heads which pass you daily. And you have witnessed, with your crowning lamp, THE BOOTS AND SHOES In which so many tramp. And well you know they'd keep the water out, If even placed beneath your drenching spout. You've also seen THE HOSIERY OF MOSES, Where neither price nor quality imposes. You know the multitudes who daily reap Advantage from a stock so good and cheap. TIE FUR ESTABLISHMENT, You also know, Where all the judging ladies wisely go. Yes, you have seen, while spouting forth your waters, What MOSES' do for Britannia's charming daughters. On all the vast establishments of trade Your daily observations you have made; And were I now to ask you your opinion, If MOSES' Marts are matched in the dominion.

TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND. " No. 208, Piccadilly, London, October 19, 1847. " Sir,—lt is slow three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During ene of the paroxpims a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they preyed very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have bad no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know hew to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMYTH." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to theta a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happi ness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in ho w many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dil a t e , are productive of greater severity of misery to tke human frame, than any other to which it is sutiect. This work contains an accurate and complete account of th e Anatom c Anatomyand conditions ReproductivePhys t i l o o logy in of he th al e thanddiseas. e Or l g t an d s e a rv ad edl o y f their relative requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy in early life or from the follies, of advanced age, while suffering victim of excessiv e i n d u l ge nce and vicious habits, whether acquired trom their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so Frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking ads assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination its ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse , sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

TRANSATLANTIC STEADS-SHIPS OF LIVERPOOL.— Passing the Cobourg Dock on Friday last, we were much gratified end surprised at the sight presented there; no 'ewer than six of the large steam-ships of the British and North American Royal Mail Steam-packet Com pany were there on that day—namely, the Canada, the Niagara, the Cambria, the Hibernia, the Acadia, and the Britannia. We have no hesitation in saying that they are not to be equalled in any country. It occurred to us how quietly and unostentatiously the work of this company is carried on. We hear of other large steam ship companies in other parts of the kingdom as matter of every day talk, yet here is one carrying on a large busi ness at our own doors, with the finest steam-ships in the world, giving employment, directly and indirectly, to thousands of our population; feeding, to an extent be yond general knowledge, the revenue of our dock estate; and yet so little is known, that we confess ourselves to be quite at fault on the most material points. We, however, now and again, on looking over our own publication, get a glimpse of its doings, the rapid passages of the ships hitherto outstripping all competition, and carrying the fame of British enterprise and British skill to that land of stripes and stars where the spirit of emulation is now so fiercely burning. Except in the striking regularity and expedition with which, week after week, the ships perform their passages, so to speak for themselves, with all the regularity of mail coaches, there seems on the surface of things little to indicate to the public the exist ence of so large a steam-ship company at this port.— Liverpool Mercuq. MORDAUNT HALL.--The numerous admirers of those remarkable narratives, " Emilia Wyndham," " Angela," &c., will hear with pleasure that another work from the same pen is about to appear under the title of " Mordaunt Hall." It is said to be a story of the present day, possessing that deep domestic interest which never fails to exert the most powerful influence over the imagination of the reader, and bringing forward charac ters that are so peculiarly natural, it is scarcely possible for the mind not to abandon itself to a perfect faith in the story in which they figure. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. — On Thursday night, about nine o'clock, as the down train from London was approaching Wareham, an oc currence took place which might have been attended with serious Consequences. It appeared that a farmer at Kesworth, about a mile from Wareham, had the previous day purchased a cow and heifer at a neighbouring market, and had turned them into the heath adjoining his ',premises, and through which heath the line passes. The fence being rather low these two fresh cows were restless, and separated from the rest of the herd, and leaping the fence got upon the rail. The driver did not perceive them till the engine was close to them, and passed over both, mutilating their carcasses, and cutting the heifer completely in two. The cow had its legs severed about half-way up, and its horns and part of the skull cut away. The skin appeared sound; but upon opening, it was found that almost every bone of its body was more or less shivered and broken. The shock was felt by each of the carriages, but nothing further than a passing alarm prevailed. Notice being given to the station-master, Mr. Madegan, at Wareham, the carcasses were removed from the line to the station. A MAN CUT TO PIECES IN THE CLAYTON TUNNEL ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAL—Late on Friday evening Mr. Gill, the coroner, concluded an inquiry commenced on the previous Wednesday on the remains of a man unknown, found lying in the Clayton Tunnel on Tues day morning. He was discovered by one of the railway police lying across the rails. He was most shockingly mutilated, his face being the only part which had escaped being cut or torn by the train, for that he must have been run over by one or more trains seems certain. His appearanc e d enotes that he had been a Pe rson i n tolerably good circumstances, but not the least fact could be obtained to lead to his identity. A. verdict of " Found Dead" was returned. ---" EADVERTIsEMENT.] —DEAFNESS, NEW DISCOYERy.- 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY. —The Organic Vibrator, an ex traordinary powerful small newly-invented instrumreetyen,dt,eaffneottiliaefnhnacebasrlse., entirely different from all others, to surpass anything o p f o t:e er k s in o d f that tuis has been, or probably ever can be produced it is Modelled to the ear, so that it rests within without projecting, which can be inserted in the ears and removed in company unobserved ; and, being of the hear ing, e a. bf c i colour uegrws standing, ,o s nt k o i a n ir , the ispsoenr great f o e t ct perceptible. ana sd natural ;.sy T te l a i deaf persons to enjoy general conversation, to hear distinctly at church, on the bench, at the bar, and at public assemblies; the un pleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears are entirely removed, and it affords to individuals affected with this dreadful malady allthe assistance that possibly could be desired.

Another arrival from the Cape of Good Hope has brought us papers of the 2d of December. Rumours had been in circulation that the Europeans in Panda's country had been massacred. Later advices, how ever, disproved the statement. It is true that Panda had been urged to perform such a murderous deed, but he refused. The individuals intended to be slain fled, and escaped in safety to Natal, with the excep tion of Mr. J. Meyer, of whom no tidings had been heard, but whose life was not considered to have been in any danger. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, JAN. It India mails arrived this morn ing by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon very early and somewhat unexpectedly. They will be forwarded at noon by her Majesty's ship Medina through France, and direct via Gibraltar and South• amptpn later in the day. Our local news is restricted entirely to naval events. On Sunday last her Majesty's ship Vanguard, from Palermo, and on the following morning her Majesty's ship Rodney, from Naples, came into port. These ves sels are both en route to England to be paid off, after reporting themselves, en route, to Sir Charles Napier at Gibraltar. The Vanguard has had two very narrow escapes— one by the effects of the late gale at Palermo, when she dragged her anchors, and but for the timely arrival of the Rosamond would have gone on shore ; the second time, on the 3d instant, as she was under way, in endeavouring to round a point she missed stays, arid was obliged to bring up in 34 fathoms. Night signals were made to her Majesty's steamer Terrible, fortu nately at Palermo, and to her immediate aid is attributed the safety of one of the finest ships in her Majesty's service. Mr. T. Hallowes, a mate of this ship, has just re ceived his lieutenancy, .and, with Lieutenant Mickle thwaitt, of the Bellerophon, goes overland to-day per Medina. The Rodney and Vanguard are both under orders for sea on Tuesday next. An Austrian vessel, the Sollecito Borchese, having lost her rudder during the late gales, anchored near Zarrico, and her captain having, through the Austrian Consul, applied for assistance to Rear-Admiral Harvey, that gentleman immediately dispatched the Medina to her aid, and she having taken her in tow, brought her safely into port on Saturday morning last. The Sidon sailed on the 9th inst. for Gibraltar, where she is to be placed under command of Sir Charles Napier. Yesterday her Majesty's steamer Locust was paid off and her crew sent on board the Rodney for passage to England. The Locust is now in dock, and on Tuesday the crew of the Triton, under repairs, will be put into her, and she will be ready by that time to proceed with the mails to Corfu. Her Majesty's steamer, Volcano, which has lately been placed by Sir E. Lyons, her Majesty's Ambassador at Greece, at the disposal of the Prince Hohenlohe Schillingsfurst and his Princess, has proceeded to the coast of Syria, whence they will make an excursion to Jerusalem, disembarking at Jaffa for that purpose. The Volcano having fulfilled her present mission, will come on to Malta and be paid off. Her crew will be sent borne by the Vanguard. The French steamer Averne arrived here during the night. The Russian brig Orianda, which has been for some time past in this port, left for Athens last evening. The packets due, except the French from Alexandria, have all arrived, and proceeded to their respective desti nations. We learn by private letters from Gibraltar, that the United States frigate Princeton may be expected to reach Malta in about six days' time. She was at Naples on the Ist instant, which port she was to leave on the following day, to convey Colonel Rowan, the American Minister to the Court of Naples, to Gaeta, on a visit to his Holiness the Pope. The United States steamer Alleghanny had reached Gibraltar on the 25th ult., from the Brazils, and left on the 3d inst. for Spezzia. The United States ship Constitution is reported to have passed Gibraltar on the Ist inst. She may be daily expected here. She will proceed to Tripoli, and there receive on board Mr. Macauley, the newly-appointed Consul. General of the United States to the Egyptian Viceroy. Commodore Bolton, in the James Town, has arrived at Cadiz, and will proceed up the Mediterranean without calling at Gibraltar. CoMmodore Read, in the United States, is thought to be on his way to the United States, via the Cape de Verde Islands. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's fine steam ship the Sultan, commanded by Captain George Brooks, the senior officer (or Commodore) in the company's service, noted at all times for the rapidity of her pas sages, has, on her late one, all circumstances con sidered, made the quickest voyage on record. Leav ing Southampton on the 29th of December at three P.m. laden with a full and heavy cargo, she reached Gibraltar at seven A.M. on the 4th of January, notwithstanding her experiencing for no less than 350 miles the strong gales of head-winds asd tempes tuous weather which prevailed at the same time in the Mediterranean. After a detention of 11 hours to coal, she took her departure again at 6 P.M. of the same day (the 4th of January), and reached Valletta harbour at 1 30 P.M. on the Bth, thus making the entire passage from Southampton to Malta in some hours short of 10 days, notwithstanding the head winds and detention at Gibraltar. We have to lament that she should have brought no mail, thanks to the parsimony of the British Government, who have only renewed the contract for one voyage monthly. The many passengers by her for India will have to wait at least five or six days before they can proceed on their voyage. DISTRIBUTION OF THE INIZDITERRANZAN SQUADRON.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 21.—The Driver steam-sloop, Commander C. R. Johnson, which sailed for Plymouth on Friday night, returned this morning. The Rapid, 8, Commander Dixon, was paid off yester day. The Seaflower cutter, Lieutenant Warren, arrived this morning from Jersey. The Centaur steam-frigate, Captain Buckle, pendant of Commodoro Fanshawe, C. 8., will take out the Feb ruary mail to the coast of Africa. She will only mount 5 guns—one 8-inch, 95 cwt., in the bow on pivot-slide and carriage, and 4 10-inch, 84 cwt., ditto, for broad side firing. She carries no pivot gun abaft. She is manned. The Reynard steam-schooner, 12, Commander era craft, tarnishes some very satisfactory and encouraging accounts of the improved cooking apparatus invented by Mr. Grant, F.R.S., of the Clarence-yard. The apps• ratus distilled in the month of December, upwards of 2,000 gallons of water, and the vessel carried iuto Lisbon after great waste, 8 tuns and upwards. The apparatus yielded an average quantity of 5 gallons per day per man. The Arrogant, 46, will have ono of Mr. Grant's improvements supplied to her to cook and distil for 500 men. Wind, S.W. by \V., fresh breezes and hazy weather. SINGAPORE, Nov. 19.—The Hastings, 72, Captain Morgan, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Collier, C.B. K.C.H., &c., Commander - in - C hief in the East In dies and China, arrived here on the 10th instant, 65 days from Rio. She passed close to Tristan D'Acuuha, but was prevented from making it out by the thick haze prevailing at the time; and after her departure from the Brazils she saw no land , exce p t the island of Amster dam, till she made Java Head, on the 4 th inst. In the Straits of Sunda, off Anjeer, she found her Majesty's steam-ship Fury, Commander Wilcox, sent to wait for the Hastings ;by the Adm i ral. The ship was taken i n tow by her on the following day—a fortunate incident, to which she (the flag-ship) owed her arrival here at least three weeks earlier than it would otherwise have taken place. That fine and powerful steamer towed the Hastings along at the rate of 7 or 8 knots an hour, some times against a strong current, for several hundred miles; and, were all her Majesty's steam-ships like the Fury, we should not hear so much ef the " lame ducks " that waddle about the coast at home, and cause infinite in convenience abroad. On reaching Singapore the Hast ings found the Cambrian, 40, Commodore Plumridge, C. 8., and the Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. H. Kep pel, with Admiral Collier's flag flying in her, which was transferred to the Hastings on the following morning, with the customary salutes. The Admiral has recently returned frt,m a personal inspection of the new colony of Labuan, and speaks without reserve most unfavourably of its prospects. Public opinion here is so divided on the subject, that no doubt accounts will reach home regard ing it of the most conflicting kind. Society in general, and all the naval officers of local experience I have con versed with, except one, are of opinion that Labuan will turn out a complete failure; or that, if we succeed in clearing and eventually colonizing it, it can only be at the price of a frightful waste of human life in the first instance, and that, after all, its climate is such as to ren der it questionable if our countrymen will ever be able to withstand its influence. A party of 30 marines, under the command of a sergeant, was landed by the Meander, and left in charge of the colony, some weeks ago. By the arrival of the Royalist, Lieutenant D. Gordon, a few days since, I learn that the sergeant and two marines have already fallen victims, and that many more of the party are in infirm health; in consequence of which the Admiral has ordered the marines to rejoin their ship as speedily as possible, and their places on shore ttee to be supplied by a company of the 21st Madras Native Infantry, at present stationed here. 100 native labourers have been engaged here within the last week to proceed to Labuan for the pur pose of preparing it for the reception of expected set tlers, and it is to be hoped they will escape uninjured by its miasma, to prove that the human frame is sometimes proof against them. On the other hand, it seems the fashion here to abuse Labuan, and I am not sure that petty jealousy of Sir James Brooke is not a /ending mnttve with some of those whose opinions I have lis tened to, for depreciating th e merits of a scheme which, whether successful in its issue or not, could only have been conceived by a man of original genius, and car ried out by a boldness and intrepidity of character worthy of the highest admiration. The Hastings sails for Hong Kong to-morrow, taking the Fury with her, and leaving the Admiral to follow in the Inflexible steam-ship, Commander Hoseason, expected soon from Trincomalee. The Cambrian sailed for Ceylon on the 12th instant, and the Meander returns to Labuan on the 22d. The crew of the Hastings is in excellent health ; she has not lost a man since her commission. By another letter we learn that the Royalist , 10, ar rived at Trincomalee on the 9th of December, 21 days from Singapore, Lieutenant Everest (1844), of the Hastings, in command; Commander Gordon having in valided, very ill. TELE EAST INDIES AND CHINA..—It is reported that the Admiralty are about to make Trincomalee the regu lar head-quarters of the naval forces in China and the East Indies, and that a residence for the commander-in chief will be kept up there. The dockyard is to be thoroughly repaired, and the buildings for the resident officers are to be forthwith made habitable. The forti fications are also to be completed, and the approaches efficiently covered. Since by the establishment of our friendly relations with China, a great portion of the naval force of the station is obliged to be kept on the China division, our old establishment at Bombay has become of less importance in consequence of its extreme position. Trincomalee being more central, and equally as well situated for speedy communication with Eng -1.4, and moreover possessin g great advantages from its ca ability for a dockyard and for a store depot, its estab lishment as the naval head-quarters of India and China is most desirable. THE BRAZILS. FALMOUTH, JAN. 19.—Arrived at Falmouth on Friday, after post closed, her Majesty's packet Linnet, Lieute nant James, rom Rio, in the short space of thirty-three days, having left on Dec. 17. She has on freight about 44,0001., but no cabin passengers. Her Majesty's branch packet Spider sailed Nov. 26 with the River Plate mails, and the Inconstant on the following day for the same destination. The Juno arrived Dec. 3 from the south-west coast of America, and sailed on the 14th for England. The Kestrel arrived Dec. 12 with the River Plate mails. At Rio, Dec. 17, the Hydra, Crescent, and Kestrel. Politically nothing stirring at Rio ; but at Pernam buco an insurrection had broken out and prevailed to such an extent as to cause the authorities to charter a steamer to take the Imperial Goverument dispatches on its account. News from Rio there appears to be none. Business is reported dull; and, politically, nothing stirring. The Rio Mercantile Journal of Dec. 9 states that more activity prevailed than in preceding months. In pro duce the transactions were of considerable importance. The amount of business done in exchange was in ad vance of that of any previous month since March, and despite an extraordinary quantity of every descrip tion of imports, the sales were extensive of such articles as were liable to deterioration, or which could not afford the charge of warehousing. Coffee had been tolerably free in supply during the month; but, notwithstanding advices were unfavour able, prices were firm, and advanced during the month about 100 reis. On the 16th of November the duty of 80 per cent. was levied on boots and shoes, ready-made clothing, and furniture.

More upon this sub• ject hereafter. SPANISH BONDS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—It is the general opinion that the Spanish nation can never be prosperous until faith shall be kept with its public creditors. It was hoped that the present Spanish Ministers would have made proper arrangements respecting the Spanish Bond debt, and that now they will speedily do so. Can you or any of your readers kindly give, through the medium of your widely-circulated newspaper, any iniormation as to what arrangements are making respecting these Bonds ?—Yours most faithfully, A CONSTANT READER, and Holder of Spanish Bonds. 20th January, 1849. HORRIBLE DEATH Or A MISER.—On Saturday afternooon T. Wakley, Esq., held an inquest at the Hope, Park -street, Dorset-square, on Jane Cunning ham, aged 62. The body, which was a complete ske leton, lay in a wretched room at No. 9, Park -street, which was completely denuded of every species of fur niture, with the exception of an old chair or table, and rugs scattered about. Mrs. Kelly stated that on Tuesday deceased, who had lived some years in that house, and during that period never allowed any one to enter her room, tapped the wall which separated witness's room from deceased's, and in a faint voice asked her for a drink. She brought her a glass of water, and gave it to deceased at the door. Witness then welt for the doctor. She returned with M. Robinson, and found deceased speechless and dying. She expired next day. There was nothing in the room but a crust of bread. The apartment was horrible to behold. On stripping her 211. was found secured round her waist. She a pension of Bs. 6d. a week, but weald not allow herself the common necessaries of lite. She had no relations, and always boasted that she had enough to bury her. Witness did not know what countrywoman she was, or where she had lived before she came to Park-street. Verdict—" Deceased died from destitution, caused by refusing herself the common necessaries of life."
