His Royal Highness Prince Albert, master of the Trinity corporation, dined with the elder brethren on Saturday evening at the Trinity House. The banquet was served up In the library. The elder brethren assembled at half past six, in order to receive the illustrious guests. The Duke of Cambridge arrived at twenty minutes to 7 o'clock. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Major- , General the Hon. C. Grey and Lieut.-Colonol the Hon. E. Phipps, arrived about a quarter to seven o'clock, and were received by the members of the court in the vestibule, the military band playing the national anthem. The Prince Consort was conducted by the elder brethren to the court room, whore the guests to the entertainment had assem bled. Dinner was shortly afterwards announced, Prince Albert as master of the corporation presiding, sup aorted. on the right by the Duke of Cambridge, and on the left i by Captain Shepherd, the deputy-muter.

The Africa had arrived, with advices from New York to the 11th, and 983,020 doll and 2301. in silver. The news is not important. In the Senate the member for Illinois had intro duced a bill for the pacification of Kansas. It simply proposes-to abolish the • territorial govern ment of Kansas and the laws, passed . by. its. Legis lature, and extend over the distracted territory the government and laws in force in Nebraska. After a sharp discriSsion between -Messrs. Trumbell and Douglass concerning the merits of the Nebraska Act, 43.1 the motiona the latter the bill was referred to the Committee on Territories. Mr. Crittenden bad proposed another plan, sug gesting that the President send General Scott to take command of the troops. Mr. Crittenden supported his proposition in a forcible speech. The voice of General Scott, he said, would do more to restore tranquillity than a thousand bayonets. Mr. Mason doubted the propriety of making the request of the President, who, by virtue of his office, has sole power over the matter. He did not, however, think the condition of things in Kansas demanded such a course. Mr. Seward expressed himself is favour of send ing General Scott, and the subject was postponed till the following day. Doubtful accounts from Kansas state that the Fiee State forces had burnt the town of Bernard, d&trialnAtzV 000 to $15,G00 worth of pro p • The town of Franklin was captured by the Abo litionists, after a desperate fight, in which three pro-slavery men were killed. Other fatal encoun ters are reported. Governor Shannon had issued a proclamation ordering all the unauthorised military ' companies to disperse, and warning outside parties to keep away from die territory, as he had suffi cient force to enforce the laws and protect the citi- zees. The nomination of Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Breckenridge for the Presidential position had been ratified by Democratic mass meetings at Philadel phia, and other places. The boiler of a steamboat running in connection with the Canadian Grand Trunk Railway had ex ploded, killing and wounding a number of persons. The latest advices from Hayti state that the rebels, 6,000 strong, were before Aux Cayes. Business was suspended and martial law pro claimed. _ _ _ -...._. The New Jersey Know-nothing Convention had recommended Commodore Stockton for the Presi- dency. From the New York commercial letters we learn that there had been a fair degree of activity in the stock-market during the past fortnight, accom panied by some improvement in prices, attributable principally to the increasing abundance' of money and the generally wholesome and encouraging aspect of financial affairs. The dismissal of the British Minister did not check the upward tendency, its effect having, been felt in anticipation during the previous fort night. In State Stocks, with the exception of Californian Sevens, there was a general advance. Of railroad stocks the sales had been large, at rather irregular prices. The supply of money was in excess of the demand, and the rate of interest had a downward tendency. In exchange a fair business was.clone. Bills on London were quoted 9i to 9i per cent. premium ; and on Paris sf. 17ic. to sf. 16ic. 60 days, and sf. 120. short. The cotton-market was slightly firmer. Flour was quoted 10c. to 15c. higher. Prices of wheat were about the same as last noted. There was an active demand for pork at an advance of7sc. to 87ic. on mess, and a 250. on prime. The iron market was quiet.

It is very true that we are not here indulged with an insight -into the more delicate manipulations of the craft, for John Sadleir writes to James Sadlair in the: full con fidence of perfect intimacy and participation in counsel. The letter of which we are speaking was written on the last day of last year—that is a few weeks previous to the smash of the Tipperary Bank. It was read aloud by the Irish Master of the Rolls in the ceuise of the judgment which he delivered the other day in Dublin, and therefore must he accepted as an official document. The letter in itself, as an official letter, is all ;hat_ could be wished. The directions are precise, he figures clear, the conclusions obvious. The uero,;t. tyro i❑ bulldog mat en could understand it, and carry its recommendatiln into effect. 'Even in the Wellin,gton, Pespatches we find nothing which is clearer or less surrounded with haz3 and obscu rity. "My dear James" is informed in the very first psragrap't that the accounts of the Tipperary Bank should he made out, treating the paid-up capital as 100,0001., on the 31st December, 1854. No reference is male to .I , e facts 7 —the directions are clear and precise, as the orders given by the officer ..f the wat .h to the man at 'the wheel— " Make it so," and there is an end of the matter. John Sad'eir, however, does not leave his brother James to the unsatisfactory suggestions of his own, perhaps bolder. fancy, but points out to him the definite mode in which the operation indicated should he carried out. The requisite number of shares to make this transaction square are to be en tered as vesied in A. Ferrall, Esq., and he is to be debited accordingly in respect of the shares. Who is this millionnaire ?—this lord of untold thousands —this A. Ferrall? Dos he live and have his being in the county of Tipperary, or elsewhere—or is he merely the creature of John Sadleir's fertile imagination ? Having overwhelmed this umbra in so cavalier a manner with these amazing liabili- ties, John Sadleir proceeds to point out that the Reserved Fund must be treated as so much, con descending even to notice pence. He jumps at once to his conclusion, and squares his circle in the completest manner with scarcely an effort. Truth is still on her knees picking up pins, while Falsehood has walked there and back. The most business-like recommendations followfor furnishing the " English" shareholders with a balance-sheet at least once a-year ; as far as their Irish fellow vdnturers are concerned, John Sadleir seems to be of opinion that it is of very slight importance whether or no they are furnished with an account, at, all. The great swindler hopes that by these means the English shareholders will double their holdings in the Tipperary Bank, and that the balance of 100,000/. will be quickly absorbed. So much for precept—now for illustration. - "Now, I know many of the English joint-stock banks, in order to give a good appearance to their ba lance, have constantly trebled the amount of their balances, &c , by making a series of entries, whereby they appeared to have assets and liabilities to four times the amount they really potpessed or had. This has been always kept very quiet, and whst,at first was a kind of fiction became gradually to he bona fide." To be sure we have had a few unpleasant inci dents in our banking history ; but yet we trust the case is not altogether so bad on our side of the Channel as John Sadleir would make it out. What follows is really so astounding for straightforward, unhesitating knavery, that, but for the letter ac- totally before us, we should hesitate to treat the directions as serious. The balance-sheet for the year 1855 is to be made as nearly as may be to tally with the balance-sheet for 1854. Au increase of about 30,000/. in the item of customers' balances is to be made to appear, and astounding details are given as to the manner in which this arrangement is to be brought about. The plan is scarcely credible. The ingenuity of the mere schemer must have already given way to the re tide , sness of the desperado when such an idea eonld have struck upon the mind even of .John Sadleir as feasible. S'x or seven deposit receipts were to be issued to him, John Sadleir, for about 500,0001., and then five accounts were to be opened with as many companies, involving amounts to the extent of 561,0001. Etch of these accounts was to be debited with advances made to John Sadleir, as representing each of these companies to the ex ten of the sums set by him opposite each of the ac counts ! We know not how to express in any clearer manner to persons unversed in the technicalities of banking the nature of John Sadleir's contemplated ore-ations. For be benefit of the unprofessional reader, suffice it to say that the whole scheme turned upon the possibility of supplying an ascer tained deficiency by working imaginary credits against imitgin:ry debits—a scheme the merits of which may readily enough be tested by any gentle man on the wrong side of the world to the extent of 101. It is a very simple matter to write down open one side of a pocketbook that Mr. Smith owes you 1001., while you owe Mr. Brown 801., and therefore that you are 201. a gainer on the trans action : and, no doubt, so long as a man can per suade the world that the transaction is a bona fide ono, he may obtain the respect and credit due to a capitalist within the limits specified. Reality, however, is a stern commentator upon dreams, and the time must quickly come when such a vision of solvency would melt away like a morning mist. We cannot pretend to analyse this remarkable com munication between the brothers any further ; but enough has been given to show that, in certain hands, the accounts of a Joint. Stock Bank can be treated as a mere field for the skittish fancy of the directors. There is no question of an inter polated lie or of a modest, unassuming fraud, but the whole account may be made one continuous lie from the beginning to the end. The figures will be beautifully congruous—the prospects of the concern, to all appearance, most satisfactory—the customers numerous and impor tant—the business most thriving • but how if figures, prospects, customers, and business are all moonshine from beginning to end ? It is not the figures but the facts which must be tested, and how are the customers and shareholders to get at the facts ? These are placed under the inspection of the directors ; but when the directors turn knaves—what then ? Here is an ugly paragraph, by which John Sadleir justifies his little project There is nothing to prevent the Tipperary Bank from doing what has been done in the Bank and the Bank, and the Bank, and that is all I advise, viz., to open two aecountsfor A B ; to credit one account as having received from A. 13 100,0001. on deposit ; to debit the other account 100,0001., as having lent A. B so much ou the security of his deposit receipt, and his per sonal security, of course ; in every case the Tipperary Bank should receive the deposit receipts and retain same as security." Now, it does not follow that this allegation is true - because John Sadleir has made it ; on the contrary, his is very tainted testimony indeed. For all that, persons interested in Joint-Stock Banks would do well to satisfy themselves that their trust is rightly placed. Seven hundred stands of arms of the E n fi e ld r il e muskets have arrived at Chathstm ganison from the Go vernment stores, and were landed on Saturday at the gun-wharf for the purpose of being served out. The East India Company have forwarded a remon strance to Her Majesty's Government calling upon them to rescind the order for the embarkation of the 6th Dra goon Guards and the 12th Lancers to India. The Coin pany state that they do not require any additional cavalry force in the East, and that the three regiments now stationed there are quite sufficient for the present exigenciee of the egrvigg tl* gauntry.

Oa Saturday morning an accident of a serious nature occurred on the Tunbridge Wells and Hastings branch of the South-Eastern Railway, by which one of the ser vants of the company lost his life, and two other persons were injured. It appears that the Parliamentary up train, which leaves Hastings at 7 a.m., arrived as usual at Tunbridge Wells at 8.25, and thence proceeded on its journey. Having travelled ab ,ut a mile and a quarter from the latter station, and while in the act of describ ing a curve in that portion of the line at an ordinary rate, the force wheel on the right side of the engine be came detached, and ran with great velocity up the ad joining embankment about 15 feet. The engine con tinued ita course a`mut twenty yards, and then capsized across the rails, a considerable portion of which were torn ur. The tender was thrown on to the embankment on the left hand side, as were also some of the carriages, while the remainder were scattered about on the line, and all more or less shattered. The passengers were promptly rescued from their perilous position, when it was found that, with the exception of one of them, a man named Themes Strickland, a turner, residing in the City- road, London, the whole had escaped unhurt ; the in juries which Strickland had received being also of a trivial nature. On proceeding, however, to the spot where the engine was lying, it was discovered that the driver and tho stoker were missing, and search being made for them, th:, former was found lying under one of the carriages, which was overturned against the embank meat, being the third carriage from the tender. He was extricated with some difficulty, and quite dead. His head and face were fearfully lacerated. His body was convey ed to the Railway Inn, Tunbridge Wells. The name of the deceased was Caleb Gasson, an unmarried man, aged 26, the son of Mr. George Gasson, farmer of Tun bridge parish. The stoker was found at the foot of the embankmeut, a short distance lower than the place where the driver lay, and was completely embedded in the soil, which had been ploughed up by the overturned carriage under which he was discovered. The injuries i he received were not of so serious a character, as, from the position in which he was found, might have been anticipated. lie was removed to a farmhouse, where medical assistance was afforded him, the injured pas- senger, Strickland, having in the meanwhile been con veyed to the Tunbridge Wells Infirmary.

The rE lurns from the gold fie!ds continue to in crease. The shipments of gold to England have been noar ly doable when compared with the returns for 1855.

The Royal mail ship Marco Polo, Captain James Clarke, belonging to the " Black Ball" line of Aus tralian packets, arrived in the river at noon to-day, from Melbourne, with 166 passengers and 70,000 ounces of gold, and 46,0004 sterling (in sovereigns) in all about 320,0001. The Marco Polo sailed from Port Philip Heads 20th March, and a few days afterwards passed the British ship Geraldine, bound west, in lat 57 30 S, long 72 W; May 13 passed Dutch ship Van Galen, bound east, lat 45 30 5, long. 28W; May 20 the Ame rican ship Coeur de Lion, bound S., lat 10 11 5, long 32 30 W ; June 10, the Sir Allan M‘N ab, from Manilla for Loudon, lat. 40 46 N., long. 36 30 W ; June 16, the George Walter, from Hong Kong to London, Late 48 N, long. 24; and the Evangeline, Liverpool to Calcutta, off Bardsey. • The new Great Britain was to sail for London April 2, and the Frances Henty on April 15. Neither the Earl of Sefton, Captain Noble, which sailed with the English mails on the 20th Dec. (out 99 days) nor the Oliver Lang (out 82 days) had arrived at Melbourne when the garco Polo sailed. The colonies., at the time of the departure of the Marco Polo, were 108 days without any intelligence from England. Great dissatisfaciion prevailed at the treatment, as the colonists expressed it. One of the leading journals in Melbourne, the Melbourne Herald, says, in relation to the subject, that their readers would not be surprised by reading what their speculations were as to the causes of the delay of the approach of English vessels to our shores. Foul weather at the period of the autumnal gales in these latitudes is the natural explanation ; but some fear that political movements may have hed something to do with it, and as Lord Palmerston thought it necessary to despatch a fleet to the West Indies, it is conjectured by the colonists, that, as a matter of safety, he may have ordered a convoy to protect vessels proceeding southwards. This feel ing may be quite natural on the part of the colo nists, as the last ieein of intelligence received by them from Cape Town reported that the captain of the brig Dido had been chased by a Russian fri gate between the Cape and St. Helena. This state ment is certainly received with suspicion. The same journal says that— " Our domestic politics are at present wholly devoid of interest, except in the uneasy and unsettled aspect of the gold fie ds, arising out of the very troublesome ques tion of mining on private lands, as well as on lands re served by the Government for public purposes. On the one hand it is contended that the diggers, who, with the supernumeraries and camp followers that assist them and depend immediately on their labour, are abuut 100,000 men, are the greater producing interest of the colony. They have raised 35,000,000 of gold out of the bowels of the earth ; and it is said that it is the policy of the state to let the diggers have full course into whatever property they may lead—the Govern. ment making ample c)mpereation to tee owner?. Al though, on all hands, it is aitnitted on the part of the Crown that the gold, wherever found, is its property, it is urged, on the part of the diggers, that their ' miners' rights,' fir which they pay, operate as a licence to dig gold on whatever land they may find it." On the subject of central and constitutional po litics there is little calling for comment. The Le gislative Council has been prorogued to the 6th of May, and it is believed that little probability exists of its being again called together for the despatch of business prior to its dissolution, which is de ferred until the assembling of the new house is se cured by the return of the writs.

COMMERCIAL. MELBOURNE, March 26. The gold market remainp very firm, at 3/. 17s. 9d. to FellerF, with the usual commission. The demand for ship ment has caused the merchants lb giie 3/. 13s. 6d. to the trade in some cases. Holiday influences still pervade most branches of trade, and few transactions were reported. Accommodation bills have been negotiated at short dates at the rate of 10 per cent. The Melbourne Journal of Commerce states that busi ness at Melbourne continued healthy, and holders of produce exhibited no desire to abate their demands until the arrival of further ad vices from England. Stocks at diggings are light, and storekeepers, both small and great, will shortly be compelled to lay in their winter supplies. The great spec nation going on a few weeks since in butter and candles has partly cea.ed,las stocks of both these articles prove to be larger than was believed. On the whole, we may safely report that a steady trade is doing in all sorts of saleable goods. For ale and beer, ocing to small stocks, very stiff rates ara demanded. Water-tight boots and shoes are scarce, and in good de mand. Holders of clffee do not appear inclined to accept lower offers, and several sales have, in consequence, been effected at lower quotations. In dry goods trade had been quieter, owing to the fineness of the weather inter fering with laying in winter stocks. MELBOURNE LABOUR MARKET. MELBOURNE, March 24 The market is but indiff..,rently .up.plied with really useful farming men, for whom there is a heavy demand ; but labour of other descriptions is tolerably plentiful. The roads and other contract works are fast clearing the market of every description who are willing to work. Frequently both men and wom,n will hire for situations without the least intention of fill;rig their agreements. Skilled labour is much tho same ; but few mechanics are seeking employment, o wing to the number of build ings now in progress, both public and private. Female. , are in good demand ; and really useful thorough servant:4 are very scarce, especially cooks, for roost families prefer females in their establishments.
