The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Captain Christi an, Tagus, arrived to-day with the mails from the Peninsular ports, in charge of Lieut. J. H. Lloyd, B. N., and dates from Gibraltar to December 19 ; Cadiz, ; Lisbon, 22 ; Oporto and Vigo, 23. This vesse l b r ings eight firat.classand two second class passengers ; 25 packages of specie, value 18,048/. ss. 6d. ; 16 packages of gold coin, value 19,7741. ; and a cargo consisting of 160 chests, 291 half-chests, and 146 boxes of oranges, 59 boxes of tangerines, 170 boxes of eggs, and 102 packages of general merchandise. The Tagus, both outwards and homeward s , ex perienced a series of furious gales from southward to northward. On the night of the 24th and all day of the 25th she met with continuous hailstorms, and the weather throughout was of the most unfa vourable character. We have Lisbon letters to the 22d, at which date the following vessels of war were anchored i n the Tagus :—Her Majesty's steamships Caesar, Captain Robb ; Centurion, Captain Fanshawe ; Sanspareil, Captain K e y ; Exmouth, Captain 11. Eyres; and Colossus, Capt. Thompson ; the French steamships Austerlitz and Phenix ; and the Dutch frigate Prins Alexander. Her Majesty's steamer Industry, with invalids, had steam up to leave for Portsmouth, but was detained for the Duke of Wellington, with Admiral Dundas, which was an choring as the Tagus left. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-packet Sultan, for Cadiz and Gibraltar, and the steamer Rhone, which had Pat in for coals bound from Palermo to Liverpool, had left a few hours before the Tagus sailed. The Royal mail packet Avon, with the outward Brazil mails, arrived at Lisbon on the 16th, and left the following day for Madeira with a fine favourable breeze. The battalions of the Rifle Brigade having received permission for the man belonging to that corps to volunteer into any of the regiments of the line which are below their proper establishment, 25 men have volunteered for the 26th Cameronians and the 35th Royal Sussex Regiment at Chatham Garrison. The Renown, 91, screw steamer, building a'; Chatham dockyard, has a large number of shipwrights and caulkers employed on her in order to have her completed. This is the largest vessel ever constructed at Chatham, her burden being 3,317 tons. The progress of the works on board the old. line-of battle ship Caledonia, intended to replace the Seamen's Hospital, Dreadnought, having been considered sufficiently forward to admit of her being hauled out of dock, preparations for that purpose were on Saturday made at Woolwich, and a number of per sins assembled in hopes of witnessing the launch, although it was known to be very doubtful of success on that day by reason of the lowness of the tide. As the rising of the river gradually filled the dock, the, vessel, resting on the blocks, was at one tines observe(' to give indications of being afloat. The 13 test water mark be came immersed, and, considering that to be :shout the measurement of her draught of water, expectations of success fcr a short period ran high. Mr. Mu gford, the officer in charge of the undertaking, however, perceived from the poop of the Caledonia that the ebb wies about to set he, and great was the disappointment of the upecta• tors to witness the ropes of the caisson thro WI: across the mouth of the duck, and the entrance about t be closed. Tee ceremony was then ordered to be defers ed until to morrow, when the lanneh of the newly constructed 20- gan screw corvette Scout is also ordered to take place, and to succeed the Caledonia in dock. The new seamen's hose pital will be moored in the river off Woolwich Dockyard, where the internal fittings will be complete 1, Nothing has been spared to render the vessel perfect, by carrying out a number of improvements suggest ed, so as to remedy the inconveniences suffered on b oard the old vessel. The Caledonia is much more roremy than the Dreadnought. Her principal dimensions are ----leneth of the gun-deck 205 ft ; length of the keel. for tonnage, 170 ft. 9in. ; extreme breadth, 53ft. Bin, ; depth in hold, 23ft. 2in. ; burden in tons, 2,616. She was built in Plymouth in 1808. The admission and free circulation of a healthful atmosphere had been studded with consi derable care, for which end a large portion of each deck amidships has been left open, and from the lower deck upwards open hatches, guarded by iron rails have been established. At the stern of the ship !are likewise im proved galleries connected with the respective decks and easily accessible, adapted for the convenience of remov ing the patients, when necessary, into tie open air. The weather-deck is fitted with a number of lantern lights, 6 feet high, and from its spacious account, odation will form an admirable promenade for invalids. The forecastle is intended to be arranged as cabins fir the petty officers of the ship and their families. The -poop will be occu pied by the superintendent or captain solely. The roaindeck is appointed to be laid out in the following manner :—The whole of the after pant is to be adapted a 3 a dining room and general quarters for the principal medical officer, surgeon, assistant surgnson, and chaplain. The starboard side is appointed to be separated by a gothic screen of old oak wood, and t e be converted into an elegant chapel, capable of containing 310 persons. The pulpit and seats are being construct, el of some oak tim bers which it was found necessary to remove from the ship. Toe larboard of this deck is intended to be hung with 50 or 60 hammocks for the at scommodation of con valescents removed from the sick wards, while the fore part of the same deck is to set ve as quartermaster's cabins, female nurses' dining re um, carpenter's work shop, dispensary, boatswain's storeroom, &c. On the aft starboard side of the middle deck, in close proximity with an open gallery, will b e a commodious room for surgical operations. The larboard aft will contain a dispensary. The other portion of this deck will afford apace fur the reception of case s of accidents and cabins for the nurses. The lower gun deck will contain a mus eu m , quarters for level- patients, and cabins for the hospital attendants. Ile portion of the orlop deck is to be a ppropriated as a dea dhouse, to be fitted with a ,slate table fer the purpose of examinations. This deck will contain lavatories and haircutting rooms. Two pumps will be fitted in this d eck, with an engine hose, and will s er ve. a l so f or was hi ng d ec k s a n d There will be likewise a number of nurses' cabins. One of the -ports has been enlarged four variousin case of other fire, uses. feet square, so as to admit, patients in cases of emergency. The various compartments of the ship will be heated from this deck by boilers intended to supply pipes to be laid on each deck with hot air. There are also to be added to this deck six tank s for containing a good sup ply of fresh water, and store' for housing upwards of 100 tons of coals and coke. A shield, surrounded with white foiage, touched with gold, and emblazoned with the Royal co at o f ar ms, an d surmou nte d b y the B r i t i s h lion, seven feet iu length, :and four feet high, stands in bold relief over the forepart of the ship's bul warks. Rear-Admiral _Bowles, chairman of the committee of managemen t of the institution, i n his numerous official visits to the Caledonia, expressed his approbation on more than one occasion to Mr. Rice, file Government superintending shipwright, and to his assistant, Mr. Peake, of the intelligence and ingenuity displayed in the distribution and arrangements of the vessel. The Lisbon exchanges for three months are quoted for this packet—London, 53 ; Paris, 534 Amsterdam, 41i ; H am b urg, 47 ; an d G enoa, 530 . Paper continued scarce, more particularly on Paris, Hamburg, and Amsterdam. On London short dates were preferred. Stocks were more animated, arid rates had slightly improved. Three per Cents., registered, 441 to 45± ; Coupons, 44g to 441 ; De ferred, 241 to 251 ; Bank of Portugal shares, 509 to 511 mil reis ; Bank of Oport o s h ares, 19 to 20 premium. The weather had been very stormy on the coast f Portugal and in the Tagus, but no serious damage to shipping had been reported by the time the packet left. " We examined the chest, an 3 found that unusually well ; but we soon discovered that it was head symptoms that made him uneasy. He acknowledged having been night after night up till very late in the morning, work ing hard and continuously at his new book, which,' with much satisfaction, he said, I have finished this day.' He was sensible that his head had suffered in consequence, as evidenced in two ways—first, occasion ally Le felt as if a very fine poniard had been suddenly passed through and through his brain. The pain was in tense, and momeetarily followed by confusion and giddi ness, and the sense of being 'very drunk,' unable to stand or walk. He thought that a period of unconsciousness must have followed this—a kind of swoon, but he had never fallen. Second, what annoyed him most, however, was a kind of nightmare, which for some nights past had rendered sleep most miserable. It was no dream, he said; ne saw no distinct vision, and could remember nothing of what bad passed accurately. It was a Sense of vague and yet intense horror, with a conviction of being abriad in the night wind, and draeged through places as if by some invisible power. Last night,' he said, felt as if I had been ridden by a witch fcr 50 miles, and rose far more wearied in mind and body than when I lay down.' " " Suffice it to say," adds Professor Miller, " that we came to the conclusion that he was suffering from an over-worked mind, disordering his digestive organs, enervating his Whole frame, and threatening serious head affection. We told him this, and enjoined absolute discontinuance of all work—bed at 11, light supper (he bad all his lite made that a principal meal), thinning the hair of the head, a warm sponging-bath at bed time, &c. To all our commands he readily promised obedi ence. For fully an hour we talked together on these and other subjects, and I left him with no apprehension of impendinglevil, and little doubting but that a short time of rest and regimen would restore him to his wonted vi gour." Shortly afrerwards, states he Witness, the servant en tered the dining room to spread the table— " She found Mr. Miller in the room alone. Another of the paroxysms was on him. His face was such a pic ture of horror that she shrunk in terror from the sight. He flung himself on the sofa and buried his bead, as if in agony, upon the cushion. Again, however, the vision flitted by, and left him in perfect health. The evening was spent quietly with his family. During tea he employed himself in reading aloud Cnwper's ' Cast away,' the Sonnet on Mary Cowin,' and one of his more playful pieces, for the special pleasure of his children. Having corrected some proofs of the forthcoming volume he went up stairs to his study. At the appointed hour he had taken the bath, but, unfortunately, his natu ral and peculiar repugnance to physic had induced him to leave untaken the medicine that had heen pre scribed. He had retired into his sleeping room, a small apartment opening out of his study, and which, for some time past, in . consideration of the delicate state of his wife's health and the irregularity of his own hours of study, he occupied at night alone—and laid some time upon the bed. The horrible trance, more horrible than eve-, must have returned. All that can now be known of what followed is to be gathered from the facts, that next morning his body,fhalf-dressed, was found lying lifeless on the floor, the feet upon the study rug, the chest pierced with the ball of the revolver pistol, which was found lying in the bath that stood close by. The bullet had perforated the left lung, grazed the heart, cut through the pulmonary artery at its root, and lodged in the rib in the right side. Death must have been in stantaneous." The terrible story of Mr. Miller's death has created a still deeper gloom in Edinburgh by the publication of these particulars. But another sad tragedy in connec tion with his fate had at the same time to be disclosed. After the judicial and medical inquiry on Friday, Prof. Miller took the pistol to the gunsmith from whom it had been purchased by Mr. Miller in July, 1855, in order to ascertain how many shots had been fired and how many were still in the chamber. In the master's ab sence, the foreman, Thomas Leslie, an old and expe rienced workman, received the pistol from Prof. Miller, and unfortunately, instead of taking o ff the chamber, he looked into the 'nuzzle, holding the hammer wish his fingers while he turned the chamber round to count the charges. The hammer slipped from his fingers, struck the cap, and the charge in the barrel exploded. Prof. Miller, still standing outside the counter, exclaimed, " That's a narrow escape," but unhappily it was not so, for as the smoke cleared away he saw the poor man's head gradually droop and his body then fall lifeless on the fiber. The charge had entered his right eye, and penetrated the brain. Leslie was a steady trustworthy man, and had been 25 years in his present employment. He has left a widow and a family of eight children. The deceased, says the Caledonian Mercury, was born at Cromarty in October, 1802. His father was a sailor, and came of a family' the sons of which had for many generations been devoted to sea-faring pursuits. Before Hugh was five years old his father perished at sea, as his two uncles had done before biro; and the mother was The report that Mr. Howard, the British Minis- Then in Angola a very large amount of ivory, bees wax, and palm and sweet oil is exported. We met hundreds of people carrying these articles to the coast. The Balonda and Arnbonda, collect most beeswax by means of hives, which we saw at distances of a few miles on trees in the forest. They are not given to steal each other's honey, from a fear of medicine being placed on the trees. For the most part, n ear ly a ll th e wax is collected by perfectly free agency, though to one sitting in Loando the amount seems enormous. And so of the palm and sweet oil. It is produced by independentne b el e, e v ,an in and had they roads, a s I recomme nded they s Angola, the pr o duc e w o uld be multiplied a hundredfold. I say this because of the cheap rate at which these arti cles may be obtained frein the cultivators in the interior, and the very wonderful predilection which all I Africans have for barter. In connection with this subject may mention that before our cruisers were so increased in number as to repress the trade in slaves the traders went inland and purchased slaves sufficient to carry the wax, •, they could 'lnd to the coast. Both were sold ivory, &c for exportation. But when our cruisers became by in creased numbers more efficient, a new system was neces sary ; and now the Government of Angola compels the negroes living under it to render service in transporting merchandise at a fixed rate to the coast. This was pretty clear proof that the slave trade was repressed, though it did not prove its entire suppression. We can. not always trace an untruth to its author. I bad im bibed a Yankee notion that our cruisers only made bad worse, and increased by interference the horror: of the middle passage. My brother, a clergyman in the United States, heard a professor of political economy assert the same thing ; and as our cousins like to say remark. able things, it was added, the; " England would adopt a more humane course were she to fit up a lane like the Cunard to transpirt the negroes from Africa to Cuba in comfort." I was led away by these and other state ments made in Parliament. But in Angola I found "the time of the slave trade" spoken of in the past tense. I saw slaves sold for 12s. within 100 miles of the coast who formerly would have cornmatefed 70 dol lars, and travelled with companies of slaves carried from Angola (chiefly women) to be bartered among the Balonda for ivory and wax. The entire trade is not closed, but it is so dangerous as to prevent any one except a very few daring characters risking their money in it. The heartiness manifested by all cur officers in their work and other things made me rather ashamed of myself for imbibing what I could clearly see was rather a Yankee than an English notion, propagated probably, in the first place, by those who may have been interested indirectly in the slave trade, and believed by those who were not, but had no m eans of testing its accuracy. The idea that the Africans could not produce cotton r nough for the supply of England on their own soil I very much suspect is a Yankee nation too. Look at the insignificint island of the Mauritius, 35 miles long by 25 bin id ; a great piece of volcanic rock, and so little soil that the b ,uldere which covered it must be placed in rows, as dry stone dykes, in order to get space for the sugar cane; the holes are made for the cane between the rows, and a little guano added, fir without that there would be sugar ; and when that part is exhausted the dykes must all be moved on to the intervening spaces. The labour must all be brought by colonial money from India, and then English enterprise produces sugar equal in amount to one-fourth of the entire consumption of Great Britain. The population of this wonderful little island, 200,000, is entirely free ; the labourers, happy and comparatively free from the influence of caste, feel more friendly to Christianity and civilisation, and often return home as such melt to spend their after life in ease and quiet. In deed, it is free labour which here, as in Angola, produces the large supply of the articles we need. The latter country contains a popuiat on of 600,000 souls, and only from 5 to 7 per cent are slaves. But it may be objected that the colonists of Natal cannot get free labour from the Caffres, and our Govern. ment must supply them with coolies—there can b . e no harm in quoting the Natalians' own words, as published from reports of public meetings in their own newspapers. (Front the Examiner.) Sir Benjamin Hall has resolved to refer the ques tion of the metropolitan drainage to a commission, composed of two civil engineers and one military. They are to consider the plans which have been proposed, including, of course, the. plan B (the initial of bad), adopted by the huge vestry called the Metropolitan Board of Works, but they are not to be confined to a choice of these plans. They are to be free to suggest any other which may be more complete and effectual for the same object. If it should seem fitting to these gentlemen that the outfall of the sewage should be placed lower down the river that. the point proposed in plan B-101 us suppose at Shellha.ven or Shoeburyness—they will have to calculate the increase of the cost of the work above the estimate for plan B, which,f the requirements of theyeaciceutbi7tifargPbeiaeeralxineaedneiwedniieise::„aelrxiirieeatnnegopests-t oftml eetnhmta. that t u r T. oo l rp ie kol w isT ho lfir l io e sri" p s o aa p un ulation of the eastern valley of the Thames is interested in the purification of the sh river, of and tb e burdenit is but servingf fair o theirthey a other interests.

Much will now depend on the selection of the three engineers. Let us hope that, whoever they may lute, they will not be led by the nose by Captain Burstal's observations on the tides. A Greenwich pilot will be a much safer authority. For want of an instructor of that practical class, one of the most celebrated engineers of our time committed himself to a theoretical blunder of a magnitude hardly credible. The occasion was an inquiry as to the probable effect of the present London-bridge upon the rise and fall of the tides, the old bridge having by its startlings served as a dam, and apprehension having been entertained that the re moval of the dam would be attended at spring floods with an overflow, inundating the metropolis and its neighbourhood at high-water, and at the ebbs with au exhaustion of the stream, rendering it unnavig able. Examined as to the rate at which the tide ran in springs, the engineer astonished the commit tee by answering 20 miles an hour. The m 83ientific members of the committee stared at this informa tion, for all of them had seen the tide flowing be tween the bridges, besides having tided it down to Greenwich and Blackwall white-bait dinners at no such rampant rate as 20 miles an hour. One of the committee, after a pause, ventured timidly to ask whether there was not some little mistake in the witness's statement of so rapid a run of the tide? No, he replied, with all confidence, adding that he would demonstrate the matter beyond the shadow of a doubt. " You will see, gentlemen," said he, "by these tables that is flood to-day at the Nero at 12 o'clock. Well, if you will turn to the tide table for London -bridge you will see that it is flood there at two p.m. Thus there is a difference of two hours between the time of flood at the Nore and London-bridge. The distance between the two places is about 40 miles, which divided by two gives 20, the rate at which the tide runs up from the Nom to London-bridge." Such a blunder of false reasoning as this, in contradiction to the plainest and clearest of plain and clear facts, seems now inconceivable, but some 30 years hence not less in• credible may it appear that engineers of our day left out of their calculations the fact that the flood tide outcarries the ebb, though at any fixed point the duration of each may seetu equal, or the tine: of the ebb rather the longer of the two. But lawn .11 an empty bottle at London-bridge, arid it will not have more at the utmost than a five hours' voyage down the river against seven up again on the flood. This, however, is a sort of demonstration which a Capt. Burstal will old in supreme contempt. constable NT U 11 25 1 i n o u o r ie n e A d ert i ß h n s q r u . est on ° the RAILWAY ,ONEITABLE AT , is, —The ad o li ti ng t e h r e e, :ight of adjourned inquest r C .m a a e i s l r t:l h e a y y :otel, NI , was resumed on Wednesday l it t The deceased and Elias Jenkins, the 10th inst., were at a publichouse at ailldthe 19th inst., When he ell'' re " a game of b n a quarrel took place between them about was renewed body of Joseir:el:lrYch • On leaving the house the quar rel several times in the abdomen.

Not one of the authors of our day has approached Hugh Miller as a master of English composition, for th e equal of which we must go back to the times of Addison, Hume, and Goldsmith. Other living writers have now a wider celebrity, but they owe it much to the peculiarity of their style or the popularity of their topics. Mr. Miller has taken subjects of science, too often ren dered dry and repulsive, and has thrown over them an air of attractive romance. His writings on literature, history, and politics are known to comparatively few, from having appeared in the columns of a local news paper. A judicious selection from his miscellaneous ar ticles in the 'lianas would widely extend his fame, and secure for him a place in classic English literature as high as he held during his life as 3, periodical writer and as a scientific geologist. The per sonal a pp earance of Mr. Miller, or " Old Red," alt. he was familiarly named by his scientific friends, will not be forgotten by any who have seen him. A head of great massiveness, magnified by an abundant profusion of sub-Celtic hair, was set on a body of muscular compactness, but which in later years felt the undermining influence of a life of unusual physical and mental toil. Generally wrapped in a bulky plaid, and with a garb ready for any work, he bad the appearance of a shepherd from the Ross-shire hills rather than an author and a man of science. In conversation or in lecturing the man of original genius and cultivated mind at once shone out, and his abundant information and philosophical acute n ess were only less remarkable than his amiable disposition, his generous spirit, and his consistent, humble piety. Literature and science have lost in him one of their brightest ornaments, and Scot land one of its greatest men. CRYSTAL PALACK.—HaIf-crown Day.
