The Bank of England return, completed to the 24th July, shows some rather important changes. The bullion, however, has only been increased to a small extent. In the reserve of notes, there is an augmentation of nearly half a million sterling, while the other securities, owing to the easier rates current in the general market, have been reduced by a very large amount. The active col lection of the revenue has caused an addition of about a million and a quarter to the public de- P o sits, while the private deposits show a diminu tion to about a similar extent. In the other items of the balance-sheet the changes are not important ; subjoined are the particulars: Active Circulation .. £20,142,765 Decrease .. .. 305,095 Stock of Bullion . 11,720,090 Incr ease „ „ 141,947 Rest . 3,401,174 Increase 18,062 Public Deposita 4,123,460 Increase " 1,177,255 Other Deposits • • • • • 7 11 984,227 Decrease .. 1,333,731 Seven Day and other Bills .. 626,526 Decrease .. • 22,974 Government Securities 9,606,279 Increase „ ~, • . • • 71,077 Other Securities .. 18,854,783 Decrease .. 679,507 Notes unemployed 5,374,515 Increase .. • • • • 460,780 Continued activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and the prices of America, Egyptian, and Surats were id per lb. higher. The sales were 20,000 bales. The Market for American Securities during the Past week has been rather inactive. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., state that "in the Market for American Securities during the past week the actual business has not been large, but the market has remained steady and prices firm." A large amount of gold—viz., £150,000, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The Delta, which leaves to-morrow for Bombay, Will take out £ll,OlO in gold and £5,150 in silver. A meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of Egypt has been called for the sth proximo. Notice has been given by Messrs. Baring Brothers that the option of exchanging Buenos Ayres Bonds of £6OO for an equivalent amount of Bonds of £l.OO will cease on the 6th proximo. During the last few days the operations in the markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce have not been of an extensive character. Tea, at public sale, however, realised fully late prices. Sugars have been in moderate request ; while good and fine descriptions of coffee have been more inquired for. Rice, fruit, and spices were neglected ; and only limited transactions have taken place in salt petre and tallow, and at slightly reduced quota tions. The half-yearly meeting of the Unity Joint- Stock Mutual Banking Association was held to-day, when the report presented showed an available balance of £4,066 2s. 4d., from which it was resolved to pay a dividend of 12s. 6d. per share free of income-tax. At the meeting of the Scottish Australian Invest ment Company, also held today, a dividend at the r ate of 10 per cent. per annum was declared, less Income-tax. The tenders for the new Victoria loan of 41 , 0 00,000 for railway purposes were opened yes terday, and proved very numerous, the reading of theta occupied nearly an hour and a half. The bulk of the applications were at a fraction over 105, but s ome large sums were also bid between 104 and 105 . The fixed minimum was 1051, and it ap peared that the tenders at and above that sum re presented £231,500 only. Mr. Larnacb, the chair man of the conimittee of the six associated banks, On an nouncing this result, stated that, as on the former occasion, tenders will be received until two O'clock this day (Friday) for the unallotted £768,500 at not less than 1051. In answer to a ?cation whether the minimum was fixed in victoria or London, it was mentioned that it was fined under the authority and instructions of the Victoria Government ; the highest application sent in to-day was at 1054, and the lowest at 103, one for 941 being in error for 1041. The total tenders were for £2,395,100.

The Duke of Sutherland's Estate, Kilkenny Junction Railway, Eastern Counties Railway (Amendments), bills were read a third time and passed. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition pray ing their lordships to pass the Bankruptcy Bill as it at pre sent stood. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. The Earl of DERBY said he hoped their lordships would give him their indulgence when he referred to the state of the business of the house. Before Whitsuntide 68 bills were introduced into the House of Commons, and since that time 80 more had been brought in, making no less than 148 bills. Of these 78 had been passed and 5 rejected by the Com mons ; 23 were withdrawn, and there now remained 44 bills awaiting the consideration of the lower house. In their lordships' house there were 48 bills still awaiting attention, for 18 of which this day had been men tioned. He had not taken any notice of the bills which had been amended by their lordships, and con cerning which it would be necessary to hold con ferences with the Commons. There were a very large number of bills which +here appeared no likelihood of forwarding—he meant the five bills for consolidating the criminal law. They were on the paper for consideration, and no day had been named. He felt certain public business suffered from the haste in which many bills had to be passed at the conclusion of the session. The Courts of Justice Bill had been hurriedly disposed of in the House of Commons at two o'clock in the morning. He must protest against such treatment of important busi ness. There were yesterday 26 bills on their lordships' paper, and to-day 23 for consideration. He would like to know whether the noble earl was ready to state whether he was prepared to act on the resolutions of the noble lord (Redesdale), and not press measures which it was impos sible could be fully considered, and whether he would com municate with his colleagues with a view of preventing in jurious haste in the other house ? Earl GBANVILLE said he hoped their lordships would not be alarmed by the number of bills the noble earl had referred to. The Irremovable Poor Bill, he thought, was a very good bill, and the Government Were not to blame for the course that had been adopted last night when it was passed through committee. Five minutes before the house went into committee there were no less than 100 members present. With respect to bills now awaiting con sideration, no time would be lost in determining when they would be proceeded with. Lord REDESDALE thought he had not been treated with respect as regarded the Irremovable Poor Bill. He had requested the noble earl to postpone that measure, as he wished prepare certain amendments, but his request was refused. They were now within 10 days of the end of the session, and he did not think it would be doing justice to several bills if they were forced through Parliament without due consideration. Earl GRANVILLE defended the course taken with respect to the Irremovable Poor Bill. The Earl of HARDWICKE complained that the noble earl had in effect given no answer to the question of his noble friend. It was hardly fair to detain independent peers in town, in consequence of -its not being known what bills were and what were not to be proceeded with. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the noble earl spoke as if this was the first time that the state of public business had been complained of at this period of the session. He recollected a very important bill containing 100 clauses, which had been brought up quite as late as the present time during the Government of the noble earl opposite. He thought the object of the noble lord opposite was quite apparent with respect to the Irremovable Poor Bill. It was, in fact, an attempt to defeat and not to amend the measure, because one of the amendments was quite in op position to the wishes of the House of Commons. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THis DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes past ;welye o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered ani agreed to :—Llatelly Railway and Dock (New Lines, &c.); Monmouthshire Railway and Canal (New Lines, &c.) ; Saint George's Harbour; Southampton and Netley Railway ; Stourbridge Railway (Extension to Smethwick, &c.) ; and Swansea Harbour Trust. The M'Mahon's Estates Bill and the Rumney Railway Bill were read a third time and passed. THE NEW CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND. On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a writ was ordered to issue for the elaction of a burgess to serve in Parliament for the borough of Tamworth, vacant by the acceptance of the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland by Sir ROBERT PEEL. SUPPLY. The house went into committee of supply. On the vote of £669,956 for the completion of the esti mate for the packet service, there was some discussion relative to the amount in the vote for the Galway subsidy, &c. Mr. PEEL stated that as this subsidy was withdrawn, the amount on the votes for it would be struck out. The vote was then agreed to. On the vote of £1,000,000 for the expenses incurred in the Chinese war, Mr. PEEL stated that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had stated that it was his intention to ask for the vote, so that hon. members were aware that it would be applied for. Out of the grant of last year there was a balance of £250,000, and there was a balance of £lBO,OOO due to the Indian Go vernment. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY expressed a hope that the pre sent sum would be the last the house would be called on to vote with respect to China. He drew attention to the fact that no less than £lBO,OOO was due to the Indian Govern ment for the conveyance of troops from India to China. He strongly condemned the principle that prevailed with reference to the continuance of the outstanding debt with respect to the Indian Government, which was most fatal to the finances of this country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that there was some misunderstanding in reference to this subject, and he contended that the £1,000,000 would cover all the expenses in regard to China. With o respect 80000 o to in retfhereeneelntodilanndta,Gthovereernwmasenint realitythi no such amount s country stood very well, and though there was a charge f x due from this Government. Under the circumstances this could not at present but be a satisfactory account between this Government and the Indian Govern ment, and in fact he believed that the balance was in favour o f this country. He would be much disappointed if the house should be called o n to make a large vote again in res pect to the war in Chin a w h ich has beenjust concluded. Colonel SYKES said that so long as this country per mitted the money in China to be collected by our country men and handed over to the Tartars, so long would anarchy and bloodshed continue, and he strongly deprecated any interference in the affairs of China. Mr. GREGSON inquired what amount of the money re • ceived was to be paid to the claims of the British merchants. The claims for Government was £6,000,000, and that of the merchants £2,000,0 00 . He trusted the latter would not be kept out of their money for years. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that as regarded the present vote it gave Government no addi tional power to pay their claims. Som e papers on the sub ject had been received at the Foreign...office, but from the long sitting of the house he had no time to pay any atten tion to them. However, he hoped that he and his noble friend the Foreign Secretary would be able to give some consideration to them, and be able to state the course they purposed to pursue in a few days. The vote was then agreed to. On the vote of £60,692 for the West minster-bridge, a long discussion took place, Mr. Cowper remarking that he could not complete the bridge by contract, and that he must go on as he had done by day work. Mr. VANCE urged the importance of a new bridge for Dublin, in the place of Carlisle-bridge, which was now quite inadequate. The vote was agreed to. On the vote of £250,000 for iron-cased ships, arising out of the exertions which had been made in the same direction by other nations. The Government had now seven of these ships under construction in the dockyards and by private con tract, in addition to which five had been commenced, making a total of 12 under construction. It was proposed to com mence by contract six other ships during the autumn, leaving to the Government the discretion to proceed with rapidity with a smaller number, or with smaller progress, with the whole L umber. The total expenditure would be £2,340,810, i nc l u ding the sum of £250,000 now asked for, leaving to be provided for the subsequent years a sum of £2,090,810. Mr. HENLEY said that, as no notice of this vote had been given, he hoped that it would be postponed until the eveninc , sitting. LorSH. VANE thought that the proposal of the noble lord would appease rather than alarm the commercial com munity. Sir S. M. PETO suggested that instead of building new ships Lord Palmerston should go to France during the recess in order so agree with the Emperor of the French what should be the relative forces of the two countries. He denied that the Emperor of the French had done anything that could be considered hostile to this country. Sir J. GR A EIAM hoped the question would be post poned until the evening, no leading members of the Go vernment being present. Lord C. PAGET deferred the vote until the evening sitting. After some further discussion the vote was postponed. DRAINAGE LAND BILL. This bill pissed through committee, and was ordered for third reading. to-morrow. The sitting was suspended at four o'clock. At six o'clock the house resumed, and w as I.EZT LONDON GAZETTE-(7.fflS EVENING).

A WORD ON COMETS.—It is not a small triumph to be able in some measure to define the form of the orbit of a bodywhich performs its mighty journey aroundour common centre, the sun, in more years than this great globe takes days to do the same. Still more is it to have set at rest those extravagant notions which perplexed nations, confounded emperors and kings, and set up gaunt superstition upon its tall stalking horse to prey on cruelty and ignorance. Even in more modern, and therefore happily more enlightened times, the fear of a brush of the tail of one such visitor brought sad tribulation in its train ; but the matter which once was thought to engulph the world in destruction is now looked on with calmer eyes; Mr. Hind asserting that we really were in the tail of our present friend at the moment these thoughts were passing through my brain; and we saw, nearly two years ago, that the satellites of our big brother Jupiter endured a very considerable embrace without any evil result. If, then, when in actual contact they are harmless, surely at a distance, and in their significative or prophetic bearing, they may be held to be equally aor— Once a Wok. 1 2 20 2 5 ts2B 19 f 19 981 9 18.8. all all all all all 17i 13.12.6 40 6.8.6 8.12 4.11.6, 1.10.61 ES. 4.18.6 all 18.18.5 261 44 'l3s ed li li 150 170 355 365 85 90 231 211 31 4} 12 14 2f 3} . .I j 4 - 5 - 12 2 31 36 2* .6 .1 43 45 4f 5 34 4 31 4 61 7i 8 0 33 36 1 1 300 310 21 3 110 120 31 34 If I 5 5 4 17 18 i 43 45 200 310 75 85 95 105 1} 2 6 8 84 101 13 14 : 33 1 I 34 41 all 1 10s. all all 4 1 1 THE LATE FA2',4L ENCOUNTER IN NORTH Eiji lI:LAND-8 MEET.

The Coroner, upon this, only explained under what cir cumstances they would be justified in returning a verdict of justifiable homicide, if they considered that the Major had killed the deceased in the effort to save his own life. He read over at length the whole statement of Major Mur ray, and at its conclusion asked the jury if they wished to retire to consider their verdict. The foreman replied that it was not necessary, and, after conferring with his colleagues for a minute, sa id , " We find a -verdict of justifiable homicide, .and that Major Murray slew the deceased to save his own life." - The verdict was received with applause by the Court. The Coroner said he entirely concurred with the finding of the jury. The foreman then paid a high compliment to Mr. Durkin for the sagacity and patient care he had shown throughout in unravelling this most mysterious case. Mr. Durkin replied that he was exceedingly gratified at the compliment, but he hoped their thanks would be ex tended to Inspector Mackenzie, who had been associated with him in the whole of the'proceedings, and who had exhibited the greatest zeal in elucidating that which at first appeared a mystery. In reply to a question, Mr. Durkin stated that, after the finding of the jury, Major Murray could at once be removed to his own home. They had already taken away the con stable who since the occurrence had been in charge of him. Thus ended the proceedings in this most extraordinary case. SHOCKING TRAGEDY AT DERBY. On Wednesday evening the Derby police were informed that a man named Robinson, who had cohabited with a married woman named Berring ton (whose husband had left her some years ago), had been missing since Monday. His house was. locked up, and it was therefore determined to enter it forcibly. The officers found Robinson with his clothes on in a stupified state on the floor, and the woman lay on the bed, her skin discoloured, and apparently in a stupified state. Mr. German, surgeon, arrived in a few minutes afterwards, but the woman died abont twenty minutes after his arrival. On entering the bedroom, Inspector Fern observed to Robinson, " Why, she has taken poison," and he replied, "If she has, she took it out of one of those two bottles" (pointing to two that were upon the table). Robinson also added, " When I came into the house to-night I complained of having a pain in my bowels, and she (Berrington) said she would give me something to do me good,' but I was not to smell at it. I took some of it." Robinson was taken to a surgeon's, but he fell down in a stupified state, and it was some time before he could be restored to conscious ness. Men, however, sat up with him during the whole of Wednesday night, and yesterday the poison had ceased to have any power over him. That murdp and suicide were contemplated, the following letter, by Mrs. Berrington, posted to her brother-in-law, Mr. Brown, of Kegworth, on Wed nesday evening, will show : Derby, July 23, 1861. My Dear Mother and Sister,—l write to inform you that I am very unhappy at this time, and by the time you get this I shall be no more ; but don't blame any one for what I have done. I hope you will, on receiving this, come to Derby immediately, as no doubt some one will be breaking into the house and taking all there is. I think there will be sufficient to bury me ; and you will find some little things in one of the big boxes that I should like my little Mary to have; and you will find in the little drawers at the end of the box some portraits. There is one in which me and illy young man is taken together. The other is a likeness of his brother, a soldier, belonging to • the 4th Company of the Royal Brigade, now at anton, China. We have been expecting him home some time, and when he returns I should like him to have it, as ym will have mine. I have sent to him and told him where he will find it, so I hope that you will give it to him, as it was my dear Will's wish, and also mine. Francis Robinson is the young man's name— brother to the one you will find me with. The key of the door you will find in the window; you must break a pane to get it. The key of the box you will find under my head. You will also find in the box that will be locked a packet containing some pledge tickets. You will find the card of my club, and also the rule book; and I think there will be four pounds allowed by the club to bury me with. The note that you will find on the box please to take to the ad dress as soon as you can. I must now bid you all farewell. —From your affectionate but unhappy sister, SOPHIA BERRINGTON, No. 2, Court, Macklin-street, Derby. P.S. I wish you to have the club money and all other things that may be left. SAGACITY OF A "GOLLY" DOG. That species of the canine order, called the sheep or colly dog, is well known for its sagacity, and the following, for which we can vouch, is perhaps without a parallel. One day last week Mr. Shaw, Achgourish, Kincardine, Abernethy, with his fa vourite dog " Chance," left home for the hill, for the purpose of what is called "the sheep gathering," that is, bringing them down to a convenient place to be shorn and washed. They had not proceeded far when Mr. Shaw, from indisposition, or some other cause, did not feel inclined to go up the glen, and he told his dog to go away and bring down all the sheep, and that he would await his return. " Chance" instantly obeyed his master's orders, went up the glen, gathered all the sheep together, and came away with them exactly in the direction of .his master. We may mention that "Chance's" movements were observed from the top of Craigourie by the hill pundler. Mr. Shaw, who waited pa:- tiently the return of his faithful servant, now saw the sheep nearing him to the west of Craigourie, and at this moment observed a hare getting up amongst them, and looking very bewildered. " Chance" taking opportunity of this, left his charge for a little and took to the chase, and after some stiff work succeeded in catching the hare. Mr. Shaw called out to the pundler to go and take the hare from the deg. " Chance" anticipating what was to follow, surveyed with suspicion the pundler, who was fast approaching him. Yet not liking to do battle with one with whom he was on intimate terms, instantly threw the hare over his back, as being the easiest mode of carrying, brought with him the sheep with all speed, and laid the hare at his master's feet. Not later than Friday last, the same dog was asked by Mr. Shaw to go and keep the crows out of the potato field. This he did, and in about half-an-hour returned to the house with a live crow. It is supposed that he concealed himself below the stems, and when a flock of them alighted, made a dart at them, and in this way had caught it. We can vouch for the truth of the above. A dog of this kind would certainly be valuable, not only to shepherds, but to agriculturists, and we hope Achgourists will preserve the breed.—Banff shire Journal. tortyheOf Rev.R ißehicmhandE, ar Yorkshire, nshay ob e r h ts a . e A e n . conferred The R upon ec of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, Perpetual Curacy of St. George's Church, Barnsley. INFANT MORTALITY IN BAVARIA.—The mor tality amongst children during the first year of life is very considerable in this kingdom. From 1835-44 there were 327,393 deaths amongst legitimate, and 103,676 amongst illegitimate infants ; that is 31 per cent. of all those born, 30.1 per cent. of the legitimate, and 35 per cent. of the ille gitimate. According to Quetelet, the mortality of infants in the first year is, in Belgium, 14.7 per cent., in England, 14.6, in Denmark 17, in Saxony 29, in Bavaria 31 per cent. This excessive infant mortality here may be partly due to the atmosphere and the high position of the country above the level of the sea; but the most important cause is, no doubt, the social condition of the Bavarian people, the antiqUated, mediaeval state of commerce and in dustry, the reign of monopoly, the difficulty of obtaining permission to marry, the veto of the parishes, the closed boroughs. Such circumstances are not only pernicious to the natural development of the resources of the country, but also to the life and health of the population. Men in the prime of life, instead of marrying and founding families, are obliged to go into service, as they are not allowed to carry on a business of their own. The common issue of the struggle between passion and morality is only too well known ; and thus a multitude of children is born who are a disgrace to the mother whom they bring into misery, and to the father, who is often obliged to emigrate ; or the illicit connexion is con tinued, and the misery only increases with time. If it last some of these men are received as citizens into the parishes, this is generally done at an advanced period of life, when their energies are spent, and there are children which it costs much trouble to legitimise. The family is, at last, oiten thrown upon the parish, which by its veto, intends .t to shield itself from burdens, but becom es in the end, by short-sighted policy, only more he avil y taxed than would otherwise have been the case . The members of the families e z just described generally swell the criminal popu lation of the country.—Nedical T ims a Horace Walpole in a c harmin g situation, Not far from Pope's vill a was the lath-and-plas ter house built by which he called Strawberry Hill. He himself has suffi ciently described it in hisletters, with its outside appear ance and its internal decorations. Here was his printing press, and here he wrote those letters which will be read probably as long as the English languag e lasts .. At the end of a verdant meadow Walpole purchased a compara tively small house, in which the celebrated Kitty Clive, the actress, resided. He would trip across that field accom panied by his pet spaniel, in order to enjoy the society of that fascinating woman. At his death he left the house to the two beautiful sisters, the Misses Berry, who may be reckone d amon g st the Twi ckenham worthies. Near to Pope's villa was t he residenc e of Thomas Hudson, an emineat portrait painter, and who married the daughter of Richardson, the painter. Hudson had for his pupils Sir Joshua Reynolds, Mr. Mortimer, Wright of Derby, and m any other celebrated painters, who first studied under him. The extravagant Philip Duke of Wharton, whom Pope satirised as " the scorn and wmadet of the age," had a house at Twickenham, pulled down a few years ago.

Sherard Osborn, C. 8., which left Gibraltar on .the 12th, entered Plymouth Sound on the 23d current. She went out under steam, and returned home under steam and canvass. Fine weather prevailed until Mon day last, when there sprang up a heavy gale from the south-west and north-west. Daring the storm, in lat 48 30 north, long. 6 6 west, Thomas Woolf, able seaman, fell over, or was washed from the fore chains. The life-buoy was dropped in stantly and a boat was promptly lowered and gal lantly manned, under Lieut. Edward G. Maddock. After a prolonged absence, the sea running very high and the weather hazy, a recall gun was fired, when Thomas Southworth, ordinary seaman, was unfortunately blown overboard. He drew out the tompion and returned unobserved to the muzzle of the gun, it is supposed for the purpose of taking out some rags. It was with some danger that those who were unsuccessful in rescuing Woolf were got on board the ship. The Donegal brings 36 military invalids from the garrison, three naval invalids from the St. Jean d'Acre, 99, Capt. the Hon. B. Elliot. C. 8., and six convicts from Gibraltar. She has 42 guns of various sizes from the Acre, in exchange for others of modern construction, which she conveyed to that ship. The Donegal left at Gibraltar the Acre, the steam gunboat Procris, Lieut. and Com mander the Hon. John Carnegie, and the paddle wheel steam tug Redpole, 1, tender to the Hiber nia. Off Algesiras was the Spanish squadron, con sisting of one line-of-battle ship, two frigates, and two gunboats. At 11 a.m. on Monday, in lat. 47 40 N., long. 7 W., the Donegal spoke the screw steamship Marlborough, 131, Captain W. H. Stewart, C. 8., beating to the westward, all well ; and in the afternoon, during the gale, she passed a line-of-battle ship, name un known. On entering the Channel the Done gal tried her rate of sailing with a clipper mer chant ship, which she distanced completely in a few hours. The Donegal will probably go into Hamoaze to exchange the Acre's old gun's, after which she will, it is said, join the Channel fleet, to which she belongs. The Dragon, 6, paddlewheel steamer, which was commissioned at Sheerness by Commander E. Hardinge, has been found to be so rotten, and altogether unfitted for service at sea, that the whole of the officers and men have been turned over to the screw corvette Cameleon, 17, 200 horse power, now fitting at Sheerness. Since the Dragon has been in dock a considerable portion of the planking of her bottom, both fore and aft, has been removed, in order that a careful survey of her timbers might be made by the dockyard authorities. The result of this examination, which was completed yester day, has been the discovery that the rot has pene trated so far into her timbers that there is little chance of this fine steamer being again fit for sea, notwithstanding any amount of repairs which may be effected in her. A special report of the result of the survey has been forwarded to the Board of Ad miralty, and the decision of their Lordships is now awaited whether this steamer is to be broken up or to be thoroughly repaired. The Dragon was built at Pembroke about 16 years ago, and three years since underwent a complete overhaul at Chatham Dockyard. Yesterday a party of workmen com menced removing her rigging. The Virago, 6, paddlewheel steam sloop, 300- horse power, left Sheerness harbour on Wednesday for a trial of her speed and machinery, the trial being under the command of Capt. Schomberg, of the steam reserve, assisted by Mr. Price, inspector of machinery afloat, and Mr. Blaxland, chief engi neer of the Sheerness Dockyard. The following results were arrived at :—Average speed, 8.631 revolutions, 181; pressure, 8; vacuum, 26 ; course of wind, sto 6 S.W. After being tested at the measured mile, the vessel was tried at the circle and the half circle, the latter occupying 2 minutes an 35 seconds, and the former 5 minutes and 3 seconds, it taking 200 yards to perform it in. Draught of water forward, lift. 10in.; aft, lift. Sin. The machinery worked admirably. On the same day the Pylades, 21, screw steam corvette, 350 horse-power, arrived at Sheerness from the Pacific (Capt. M. De Courcy.) The vessel was inspected by Vice. Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone, who spoke very favourably of her condition. After this she proceeded to Chatham. • On Wednesday the Griper, 60 horse-power, ten der to the Cornwallis, arrived at Chatham with con demned stores from Hull, and proceeded to Sheer ness to await further orders. The Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander Wood, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, with supernumeraries, &c., from Devonport. The Iris, sailing frigate, left Spithead on Wed- • nesday evening for the Medway, where she will be dismantled and put out of commission. The 21.saye paddle frigate, Commander G. N. Adams (her Majesty's Indian Navy), arrived at Spithead yesterday from India with troops, time expired men, and invalids ; she awaits orders at Spithead. She sailed from Bombay on the 30th of March, and St. Helena on the 7th of June. Her passengers and troops comprise—Capt. Anderson, wife, and child, 6th Dragoons; Mrs. Frazer and three children, Lieut. Seagrim and wife, Ist Royals ; Lieut. Bradford, 3d Madras Europeans ; 3 warrant officers, 139 non-commissioned officers and men, various regiments, 11 women, q children, and 6 naval invalids. Off the Cape the Assaye expe rienced heavy weather, but afterwards had a fine passage, with a preponderance of light winds and calms. On the 18th she fell in with strong westerly winds, accompanied with thick weather, rendering ao at e with w e e x r t it ces ro n m e ee s a a o ry tio t o o . wa T tc h h e landth A e s a ea p y p e r , o s ac w h h t e o el e taken off in India, and the passage home has been made under canvass. a is n expected o th r a e t pa sh ir e e w an il d pre ce ed to the Thames alterations similar to those made on the Punjab. The Nimrod, 6, screw despatch vessel, Commander Arthur, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from China and the East Indies, and is ordered into Portsmouth harbour to dismantle, and to be put out of commission. She sailed from Singapore on the 4th of April, from the Cape of Good Hope on the 25th of May, from St. Helena on the 9th of June, and from Fayal on the 12th instant. Fine weather was experienced until on nearing the Channel the recent gale was encountered. The Nimrod has brought home a few supernumeraries fromthe station and the Cape.
