SlR,—Sir James, in his speech, accused me of not sending a report en Sweaborg till Sewernber the 23d. On looking over my papers, I find that, owing to the weather, i did not get off Sweaborg till the 12th of June. On the 2d of July Sir James wrote to me as follows : "The Cabinet has taken into consideration the statement contained in your private letter to me on the subint." The following is an extract of my letter :—" The only way to take or destroy Sweaborg would be by a large military force occupying the islands, and throwing shells into it, and I send Amiral Chads's report." The admiral's report was a very clear one. This Sir James industri ously concealed from the house. On the 18th of July, after due consideration, I sent another report, and, as it is of great importance to me, I beg, sir, you will have the kindness to reprint it : "The only successful manner of attacking Sweaborg that I can see, after the most mature consideration, assisted by Chads, who is a practical man, and knows more about gun nery than any man in the service, is by fitting out a great number of gun-boats, carrying one gun with a long range, and placing thorn west of Sweaborg, and south of Helsing fors: Every shell from them would tell somewhere, and perhaps not five per cent. from the enemy would take'effect. Back them by the fleet, to relieve the men, and in the course of the summer Sweaborg would be reduced to ashes, and Helsingfors also, if it was thought proper; and I don't see why we are to be ' mealy-mouthed' in time of war. The ships, you will see, could not be destroyed, because they could move out of the way. " I was at the siege of Martinique, many years 'ago, We 'coal not batter Fort Bourbon, as it lay higher than the ground around it, but 50 mortars in three weeks, plunging their shot into it, made it surrender. And whe ther mortars are placed on shore or in gun-boats is quite immaterial ; indeed, the latter have the advantage, for when their shells began to tell, and our blood began to warm, the ships would move up to the batteries, and close quarters would finish what the mortar-boats began. "I sent you home copies of all the plans I had, and if you will lay theta before the Engineer and Artillery officers, I will be bound for it they will agree with me that is the only way to destroy Sweaborg, without an army superior to the Emperor of Russia's, which we are not likely to bring into the field. It is too late this year, but be all pre pared next, now we know the anchorage, and begin early. "I forgot to say that the islands within range may all be put in requisition for 13-inch mortars. The expenses would be very groat, no doubt, but if we are to bring the war to a conclusion, expense must not be thought about." This letter the Admiralty deny having received. I wish to know what Sir James bas done with it. He said I sent home no report before the 23d of Sept., which was the reason be could send no appliances in 1854. With regard to Botuarsund, Sir James read two let ters of mine, recommending 10,000 men to be sent there —bat ha suppressed the extract of another letter, as fol lows :—" The third plan is to attempt Aland Islands. To do this (as we have no troops) it would be necessary for the whole fleet to proceed to the anchorage pointed out on Capt. Sullivan's chart, leaving vessels at the en trance of the gulf, to watch the Helsingfors squadron. Land all the matinee and the French troops," which would amount to 5,000, a great number of heavy guns, and lay siege to Bomarsend, attacking at the seine time in front if found practicable ; if not, land 10,000 seamen and make soldiers of them." Why did Sir James sup press this, unless in order to injure me ? It is worse than Capt. Christie's affair. I have shown that Sir James contemplated no further operations after be knew of the intention of withdraw ing the French army ; but when he found the people were discontented, a council of war was ordered on the 4th of September, and it was unanimously decided that nothing more could be done at that season of the year. I, therefore, was not to blame. A second council of war was ordered on the 9th of September, to take General Jones's plan into considera tion. This plan, Sir James said, I sent home without comment. This is not true. I did comment as fol lows :—"The place is of tiro much importance to be feebly garrisoned, and if we have 5,000 men at Back holmen they would pars over from Gustavus Sward 10,000 men, and make them all prisoners." The date of this letter to the Admiralty was the 27th of August. This council of war was not held because the French army had cone, and the Admiralty knew at the time they gave the order that it was dec de'l they were to go. A third council of war was ordered on the 12th, and the French admiral declined attending it, as he had already given his opinion, and my own admirals unanimously agreed that they raw no reason to change theirs. Now,' sir, it will be recollected that may second recon naissance, an account of which was sent home on the 23d of September, was received by the Admiralty on the 4th of October, the day that the report of the cap ture of Sebastopol arrived .; and they perverted my letter, wickedly and maliciously, and goaded me to at tack Sweaborg, contrary to the opinion of two councils of war ; and on the 9th of October (the day that they kn ew Sebastopol was not taken), without waiting for my reply, they contradicted the order, and directed the sailing ships to come home, and my squadron to go to Kiel. Flow does Sir James get out of this ? He blinked it altogether, anpl told the house the hatle of Alma was fought on the Lith of September. Tat had nothing to do with my report, which was dateti the 231, and ar rived the day of the hoax ; and that was wi,at caused the quarrel between the Admiralty and myself ; and Sir James managed it so we:l, that he led the house en tirely away from it, . Sir James says it was my neglect is not sending borne a report before the 23 , 1 of Septernier, 1854, which prevented him from sendimr appliances newssary for the attack of Sweaborg, in 1854. I have shown that I did send my report, dated the 18th of July ; and as for his talking of sending ont appliance, , , it was quite impos- Eible, and he knows it was. In 1855 they only managed to send out 32 gun and mortar vessels, and bad not oue gun on the islands, though the French had ; and Admiral Dundas was so sensible that his means were insufficient, though assisted by 8 French gun-boats, 4 mortar-vessels, and, I think, 4 or 5 mortars on the islands, that he never c nitemplated bringing up his large ships ; and yet he was one of the lords who wished me to attack with 8 or 10 sail-of-the line, though the intricate nature of the ground, from rocks awash and reefs under water, rendered it difficult to select a position for the mortar-vessels at proper range.i . Even Captain Sullivan, who had surveyed the ground, got on shore, and the ships which engaged the batteries were obliged to haul off, It may be asked, why Admiral Dundas did not go in when he saw the whole place in a blaze? There were two reasons. His fleet was not'' assembled, and his mortars were all split, and the admiral had none to replace them. • Sir James says this affair ought not to rest here. So say J. Hia Admiralty have been accused of perverting my despatches to save themselves from blame, and urging me to act contrary to the decision of two councils of war, ordered by themselves, and to attack a fortress which not an admiral in the service would have ventured to do with my means, and which one of their own board, with all his additional appliances, would not do ; and at the same time I write, 200 sail of gun arid mortar boats, be sides what are preparing in France, are getting ready for the Baltic (if the war continues), to do what I was expected to do ,with nine or tea sail of the line. The, whole of the summer of 1851 I wag praised more than ever an admiral was, both publicly and privately ; and now, in 1856, every attempt has been made by Sir J. Graham] arid Admiral Berkeley to destroy me, because I resisted their conduct towards me, and all the power of Sir James's ridicule and special pleadings, true or false, brought against ma, to damage my reputation. When I came home a court martial was refused—an appeal to the Prime Minister not noticed—an appeal to the House of Commons in 1855 successfully resisted, and an investigation into the operations in the Baltic met with a serious charge preferred against me by the late First Lord of tbe Admiralty, supported by the Senior Naval Lord, accusing me of being the cause of proper appliances not being sent to the Baltic in 1854 to attack the enemy ; and a further charge of having caused the delay in the attack of Cronstadt—a charge little short of high treason, and, if true, I ought to be removed from the list of admirals. If an investigation, which I shall ask the Admiralty for, is ordered, I can tell both Sir J. Graham and Sir F. Berkeley it will not redound to their honour, at one time advising me not be goaded on, and that they ap proved of all I did, and then turning against me, and doing everything they could to annoy me. Sir. F. Berkeley said my nerves were gone. Ile has done enough to destroy the nerves of a much stronger man ; and I should like to have seen bow the gallant ad mira would have conducted the Baltic fleet the first campaign, had it been entrusted to him ; but that the Government took very good cars not to do. The reporter of the Times represents me as having said that I had the gout ; I said no such thing—it was a per fect mistake. —I am, sir, your obedient servant N , CHARLES APIER.

THAT BLESSED BABY.LINEN. (Front Punch.) MRS. SMITH TO MRS. Nola% . - " PARts3, March 14. dear Mill' . Jones, take my word for it, babies will be all the fashion for a month, at least amongst what Smith calls ' our lively It can't be otherwise ; for the show of the baby-linen—the sweet Empress's things for the darling child make babies, as ose may say, quite catching. " Well, I've just come from Mademoiselle Felicie's ' in the Vivienne. A ticket w as br oug ht t o S m ith bytho Count (Smith tells me I mustn't trust names to the post), who always beats Smith at billiards out of more than Smith likes to own, in the handsomest way, for two for the baby-linen ; which, as Smith always grumbled at the expense, I would n 't, f or th a t reason, aka with me. So, myself and young Mrs. Flower —who wished more than I can mention, but which you'll quite understand, to see the patterns—we both of us wont to Mdlle. Felis's, where we had to form what is called here a queue, but which ; in English, may be called a terming. tion —them was such a crowd to see the blessed children's things ; La. the Emperor, who is the greatest man in Europe—and this would be enough to prove it if nothing else did—the Emperor has had two sets of things made up, one for a darling Prince, and one fur a sweet Princess, so that he mightn't be taken by surprise, if Providence was ever so bountiful. A feeling that does him honour as a husband, and immortal glory as .a crowned head, as I said to young Mr. Flower, who I'm sorry to say is what is called a liberal, which means anything but manly generosity to the wife of his affections and the dear children that may at some titan bless him. " After we had followed the movements of the queue— which twisted ist and.out like any snake; but all, like the French, in the best politeness, and with no pushing what ever—it Caine to our turn to enter the rooms, several effi cers—Colenels or Generals at least, I'm sure of it—iu the handsomest manner attending us. Oh, my dear Mrs. Jones, it is something to be borne a prince in France ! I thought Mrs. Flower would have fainted—the things were quite too much for her. And even for myself, I must say, I felt as if it would have been a pleasure to weep ever so little, the scene was so moving. Indeed, everybody was affected ; and I'm proud to say it, my own countrywomen—and there was a swarm of 'em—showed as much interest in the things as if they'd been m a d e u p upon th e ir own account—an who, with any heart, can wonder? " As I told you, there's two sets, for boy and girl—the boy's trimmed with red, and the girl's with blue, which, on the white, quite snakes up the line of the beautiful song for which Mr. Henry Ruesell has been made a full colonel of the legion of honour, with permission its tka decline of his life to sell out for the advantage of his family ; a fa vour, as I am told, never before heard of in France, and by no means likely to be heard of again. " Well, my dear, if I was to try to tell you what we saw, you'd take me for ono of the Arabian Nights.! There was one partielar set, frock, under things, and all eesides, you might hive drawn through the Empress's wedding ring. And then the heap of. articles ! Why, allowing the babies—for I'm speaking, as one may say, boil for the red and the blue—allowing 'em not to grow a bit, and there was more than a full change a-dsy, with out one going to the wash, for a twelvemonth ! Take and turn all the Foundling Hospital into new-born babies, and there is clothes enough—if it isn't improper to name such a thing in the same breath with foundlings— clothes enough to shift 'em every day for three months, boys and girls into the bargain. " But what struck me and Mrs. Flower with astonish ment was the quantity and the fineness of the lace. The Empress, as I said to Mrs. F., who quite agreed with me, the Empress must be a happy W0111:11A Aud then the work ! Well, I don't like to thiukomalLokaklown4"l"' try-s—specielly hi needbfwork and erabreidetyr bat the' work does take away one's breath. The worst of it was, olr queue was made to move so fast through the rooms, that we couldn't examine even with the naked eya,any thing like what we wished—and as for touching a single thread, you might as well have tried, as Mrs. Flower said, to lay your hand upon a white cloud in Heaven. However, you may take my word for it, there never was such needle work before; such embroidered roses and violets, it isn't a bit too mach to say, you might fairly have smelt 'em. Besides this, I'm told—not that we saw it—that out of compliment to the English alliance, the Emperor has had the British lion woven as a pattern in some of the things, which is, you will allow, very handsome. " I've always stood up for the Emperor ; because what I always admire in men—l'm eat speaking of Smith, under stand—what I . admire is, determination, will, my dear ; power! Now all this baby-liuen convinces me that Louis Napoleon is the best man for France ; knowing, as it's plain he does, how much can be clone with muslin. "There was a report that the Conference —as they're called—wore all coming over to Mdlle. Felicie's to look at,_ the baby-linen ; but that an electric telegraph from St. Petersburg to Coent Orloff, for state reasons, and on pain of the knout, which must be drm_dful, forbid him. " if I can, I'll bring you horse, from Mdlle. Folicie her self, a pattern of ene of the Princess's blue bonnets ; and also a pattern of a Talusa, which, Pre told, is called after a French tragedy-player, just as you might name a muff after an English one ; and am, deur Mrs. Jones, " Yours, sincerely, " SUSAN SMITH. " P.S. We're to have a hundred guns whe• the Prince is born. You know what Smith is ! There's no rousing him to any pitch of admiration. Fur three nights I could have vowed I heard the beginning of the gnus, and woke him accordingly ; but of course ho wouldn't hear anything of the s,rt, and I couldn't make him. The Popo is coming to christen the Prince, which, I he•>.r upon good authority, will be christened Napoleon Pius." A WHITE SLAVE FOR SALE. (Front Dr. Parson's " lasi& View of Slavery.") Mr. C., a dry goods merchant, of Boston, was with me at the little city of M., where he wont to visit a partner in trade. He had not been in a slave state before, and was bitterly opposed to etnancipatien. Two merchants, slave holders, had been in our cotnpany on the way to that city. Whenever slavery was talked of, Mr. C. uniformly con curred with them. The next morning after we arrived we saw a handbill in the bar-room, in which forty-four female slaves were advertised for sale. Stepping out into the street, we found those girls sitting on the sidewalks. At the farther end of the row was a very beautiful girl, appa rently perfectly white, and neatly dressed. The moment Mr. C. looked at her, he exclaimed, " What do you think that white girl is sitting there with those negroes for ?" " I presume she is a slave, sir," said I. " That can't be," replied Mr. C ; "just look at her ; why, I never saw a prettier girl in my life." Now, Mr. C. had heard that likely quadroons are held as slaves and sold in the market, but be had never believed that a young lady, so entirely American, so elegant is form and feature, so intellectual in appearance, with pure blue eyes, and the perfect red and white Caucasian complexion, was in the same degraded condition as the African girl ; and his fine sensibilities were greatly shocked at the idea that a white girl, so beautiful, was. deemed to inch die gt ace. his heart was steeled against sympathy with the blacks, bet it was unshielded on the side towards the white race, to which his mother, wife, and daughter be longed. Hence he was unprepared to believe it, when I said to him, " She is a slave, sir !" Thole was the precise number, including her, advertised in the bill. Still iucredulees, Mr. C. stepped up to the drover, and asked " Is that white girl a slave, sir ?" " That's not a white girl ; the is a nigger, sir," replied the drover. _ Mr. C. bit his lips with suppressed indignation, paused, and then ejaculated, " Is it possible !" " Does she belong to you ?' said ho to tho drover. " Yes sir," replied the drover. " What do you ask for her ?" inquired Mr. C. " I was offered 1,800 dollars for her last night ; I want 2,000 dollars for her." " What do you ask for that one ?" said Mr. C., pointing to a light quadroon sitting next to the white girl. " I will take 1,200 dollars for her." " Well, holy much for the black ones, here, at this end of the row ?" " I will take $OO dollars a piece," replied the dealer. " Why, can that white girl—" " That isn't a white girl ; that's a nigger, sir, I tell you," interrupted the drover, contemptuously. At the satne.time he removed a woollen cap from her head, which exposed the light brown hair, and added, "You see her hair is waved." That is regarded as evidence that African blood is min gled with the white. Mr. C. had now become excited, and he exclaimed, " Well, then, can that white nigger do more work than one of your black niggers, that you ask se much for her " Oh, no," replied the drover; and, perceiving that Mr. C. did not comprehend the superior value of female beauty to physical ability in a slave, he added, " But yon know she is a high-priced fancy girl." " By heavens !" vociferated Mr. C., "'Lis too bad !" and, •turning to me with his clenched hands raised towards the heavens, he added, " I will never say another word against the abolitionists, so long as God lets me live !" A correspondent of Galignani writes :—" Neuraigy, which is now a very common complaint among ladies, may be attributed to a part of the head being so unco vered, in consequence of the extreme smallness of the bonnets, a fashion which is not at all suited to such a cold and variable climate as that of France." ntre Dame will present au imposing spectacle on Sunday Dent.

Yesterday evening the Iron. and Rey. Dr. Henry Montague Villiers, the Bishop elect of Carlisle, preached at Trinity Church, Marylebone, in aid of the funds of the Metropolitan Training College at liighbury. After dwelling upon the 13th verse of the 103 d Psalm, which he chose for his text, he directed attention to the ob jects of the college. Time was, he said, and that not many years ago, when an idea was prevalent, even amougst men well educated themselves, that anybody would do for a schoolmaster. The notion was, that if there was some old man or old woman in a village, for whom nothing else could be done to keep them off the books of the parish, that old man or old woman might be converted into a schoolmaster or schoolmis tress. .Since that time men had taken a juster and higher view of the importance of education, and perhaps, in the whole era of the world, there was never a time which might he so appropriately described as the age of education as that in which we were now living. What Christian per son was there who (lid not rejoice at it ? There was also a time when thoughtful persons objected to education, 'for they said it would have a tendency to lead men -into infidelity, and induce them to dispute the truth of God's holy Word. Again, be said, men bad token a juster and higher view of education. They now knew that the more knowledge was brought to bear upon the Scriptures for the purpose of testing their credibility, the more they would shine, and the wore certain would it appear thet they were from God and that they were designed to show, men the way to a glorious hereafter. He granted that there was a danger connected with education, and it was against that danger that those .who bad the management of the Highbury Training College were most careful . to guard. It was possible to put into a child's hand a sharp weapon with which it might do itself and others great injury ; but a child with such a weapon should be watched, warned against is danger, and instructed in its use. And so with edu cation—unless it was watched and properly guided, it might prove highly dangerous not only to its possessor but t r all who were within the sphere of his influence. It was quite possible to have a teacher ♦ery different from that old superannuated man or woman to whom Me had alluded—it was possible to have a teacher who had a great deal of knowledge, and better than that, who Lad a heart full of love, and yet that teacher might be altogether inefficient and useless when placed in a school. They might havb all the appliances of education —good rooms, adequate funds, proper books, and perfect apparatus; and yet with all these, if they bad not gat the right man to teach, they would have a 'nest imperfect, he might alMost say, a moat useless school. Those whom he addressed were probably aware that a great improve ment had been introduced into schools (luring the last few years by means of pupil teachers. These boys were induced to go through a considerable amount of extra education,—they were, as it were, apprenticed to the master and the managers of the schools, who were bound to give them an excellent education. They were then exaturee4 at certain periods of the year, and according to that exariaination, made by an independent inspector ap pointed specially by the Comtuittee of Council on Educe ' tion, they received a very important salary as a reward of their work. Now it was thought that after they had left the school in which they received instruction, and before they took schools of their own, they should be received into institutions where they might gain the tact and the judgment to impart to others the excellent in struction they had received. Knowledge was useless when it was boxed up in their own heads, and therefore it was absolutely necessary that young men designed for the scholastic profession should be taught how to im part it to others. If, they, such institutions as that for which he pleaded were supported, there would be secured a race of well-educated and intelligent teachers, who would net only benefit the schools over which they were placed, ,but would promote the real good of mankind and the glory of Gerd. Adverting to the Bible as the' foundation of hi sound educ &on, Dr. Villiers re• marked that it was frequently read where it ought not to be read. Where teachers did not appreciate the sacred volume, or where they knew little of anything else, they made it a task book, making that distesteful to a child which ought to become the cirnfort of his after life. He therefore recommended to his cougregetion this college, which was not A piece of mere inactive machinery, but an institution, the conductors of which were ready to sacrifice &cry thing in order to send forth men thoroughly zealous for that great work which they believed to be essential to the welfare of the country at large. The ear nest appeal of the bishop elect, on behalf of the college was responded to by a liberal subscription in aid of its funds. \~ A / '° " L RAILWAY AGVIDONTS IN 1855. (Fern Captain Dottylas Galtoit's Official Repo , t.) Faun the returns whice. have been made to the de partment by railway companies, it would appear Oat in 1855 246 per,oom have bean killed, and 414 persons have been injured, on railways. Of this number, 2S killed and 331 injured wore passengers ; 125 killed and 92 ir pared were servants of railway companies, or persons employed under contractors ou the railways ; and 93 persons have been killed and 21 injure 1 who wiro neither passengers nor servants of the railway com panies. Of the passengers who have sell red on rail ways, 10 were killed and 311 injured from causes be yond their own control, and 13 were killed and 20 in jured from want of cawien on their own part. The re maining GS accidents are chiefly attributable to defective errangemonts, which may he classed as fellow : Defects in the construction of works or rolling stock. Insufficiency of accommodation or of appliances for securing safety. Insufficient staff. Inadequacy in the system of working. Under the head of defects in the construction of the works or roleing stock may be classed four accident:: from trains leaving the rails, of which one occurred on the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway, front the line having been constructed without sufficient ballast ; one on the fa ,ndon and North-Western, at Preston I3rook, from the permanent way being too light for the traffic it was required to carry ; the third ou the North British, attributed to a joint-key having fallen out, the permanent way being also in a defective condition ; and the fourth occurred on the South-Eastern, in the lligham tunnel, owing to the defective condition of the road in the tun nel, partly arising from bad drainage. In all these cases it is stated by the inspecting officer that the accident probably would not have occurred had the joints of the rails been fished. The use of self-acting points ha: occa sioned several acci lents during the past year. Accidents from the fracture of couplings caused the death of one passenger and injured six passengers. Five accidents taicurred from boiler explosions in the year. The want of siding acccrumadation hat led to several accident . Tee inadequacy of the signal arrangements has entered into the causes of 15 accidents. The inefficient position of the tail lights of trains has been the partial cause of several accidents. The want of time-pieces has contri buted to cause six accidents. The want of a communi cation between the guard_ and engine-driver of a train has contributed towarda nine accidents. The want of break power is alluded to in the case of five accidents. From the reports on several accidents, it would appear that many railway servants are overworked to a dange- rous extent. The negligence of servants of railway com panies has contiibeted to 36 of the accidents which have been reported upon. A careful eximination of the seve ral accidents shows that those railways upon which negligence is most apparent are those where the system of management is most defective. A frequent element of danger in excursion trains has bee❑ the practice of running them without any time table ; that is to say, the time at which they are started as fixed, but the engine drivers are ordered to make the best of their way to the end of their jmrney. The unpunctuality conse- Tient upon defective arrangements has caused accidents in 14 cases. Although it cannot be shown what has been the pro portion of accidents to the number of passengers cot veyed, yet it is certain that the number of passengers conveyed in 1855 must have exceeded the number con veyed in 1854 ; and, therefore, since the number of pas - sengers killed or injured from causes beyond their own control is smaller for 1855 than it was for 1854, the pro portion will also be smaller. This diminution must be taken only to a modified ex tent as an evidence of improved management by the railway companies ; for it le worthy of remark that the number of accidents to trains which have been considered. by your lordships of sufficient importance to be investi gattd has increased ; that the analysis of the accidents shows that the larger proportion have been due to causes within the control of the management; and that the proportion of accidents due to this cause has not dimi nished as compared with former years. The inquiries by officers of this department into rail , way accidents commenced in 1840, and in the report for that year it is stated that out of 35 accidents 21 were attributable, amongst other causes, to defective arrange ments, 18 were attributable to misconduct of servants, and 6 to mechanical causes. The following is the proportion in which these causes have been distributed for the last three years : In 1553, 76 accidents to trains were reported upon ; and it appeared that iu only 5 of the 76 cases did purely accidental circumstances alone cause the accidents ; and in only 11 other cases were purely accidental circum stances combined with other causes to create the acci dents. In only 28 cases was the direct negligence of inferior servants a contributing cause of the accidents, and in some of these cases the negligence was traced either to the men having been overworked, or to defects in the state of discipline. In 1854, out of 85 accidents which were reported upon, in only 21 instances did purely accidental circumstances enter Into the causes of the accidents, and in only 16 out of the 21 cases were the accidents attributable to acci dental circumstances alone. The negligence of inferior servants entered into the causes of 36 of the accidents,, but iii only three cast s were the accidents due to that ea:lse alone. Three accidents were from causes entirely beyond the control of the company. hence only 22 out of the 85 accidents could not have been guarded against.

STAMPED SD• TEE IVBECk - OF THE JULIA ANN. PANAMA, Feb. 20.—The master (Pond) of the Ameri can barque Julia Ann, of San Francisco, who arrived in Panaina by the southern steamer, has furnished the fol lowing account of the total loss of his vessel on the reefs of the Scilly Islands on the 3d October last, since which time he has been endeavouring to make his way back to San Francisco, after placing his passengers and crew under the care of the consul at Tahiti. The barque Julia Ann was from Sydney for San Francisco (coal), and having over 40 'passengers on board, most of whom were women. On the night of the 3d October, whilst off the Scilly Islands, she struck on a reef, and it was found impossible to get her off. As there was every prospect of her going to pieces speedily, every effort was directed to saving the lives of those on board, for which purpose a rope was taken" to .the reef by one of the sailors, and made fast to a rock, by which a portion of the people effected a landing on the reef ; the rope, how ever, soon parted, leaving the remainder of those on board, including the captain, to what appeared inevit able destruction. Just as their last hopes were dying out the vessel broke in two, and a heavy sea striking her carried .the quarter-deck, upon which they were col lected, high up on the reef, thus enabling them to escape beyond the reach of the breakers. Out of 56 persons on board, five were lost in getting from the wreck ; those who were saved remained on the reef 43 hours, up to their Waste In water, without food or drink, and exposed to a scorching sun. The captain succeeded, after much difficulty, in constructing a couple of rafts from the floating spars and pieces of the wreck, and, finally, the party reached one of Cze adja;,ent uninhabited islands, some 10 miles distant, where they remained two months, subsisting principaliy on turtle, sharks, and cocoa nuts, and a supply of water, which they procured by digging. ' Haring saved one of the small boats in a damaged state, it was repaired, and, after waiting eight weeks for a suit- ' able opportunity (the trade winds constantly blowing from the east), the captain with his nine men undertook the exceedingly hazardous attempt of reaching one of the Society Islands, some 350 miles distant, dead to windward, which they accomplished after four days' in cessant labour at the oars, night and day, and reached in safety the island of Borabora. Mr. Chisholm, the Bri tish consul at Reatea, having heard of the disaster, and the deplorable state of the passengers and crew, and find ing no means of communicating with the United States c )nsul at Tahiti, immediately despatched an express to Captain Latham, of the schooner Emma Packer, lying in Huanea, who started without delay for the relief of the sufferers. Touching at Borabora, he took Capt. Pond on board and proceeded to Scilly Island, received the passengers and crew on board, and conveyed them safely to Tahiti, where they arrived in the most destitute con dition, having saved literally nothing from the wreck ; from the captain to the cabin-boy they were shoeless, and with barely suffic:ent clothing to corer their persons. The residents of Tahiti provided them with clothing, .and every possible aid was rendered to make them com fortable until an opportunity might offer to convey them to San Francisco. Captain Pond got a free passage from Tahiti to Callao in the French ship Africaine, Captain Joel, from whom he received the greatest kindness. DREADFUL PRIVATIONS OF THE CREW OF THE BARQUE AMELIA. By the arrival of the Black Warrior, we (New York Times) have received news from St. Thomas containing a narrative of the sufferings of the officers and crew of the barque Amelia, which vessel, until very lately, was supposed to have been lost at sea. The cePnmander, Lieut. Reed Werden, arrived at this port in the Black Warrior, and Lieut. Erben, in whose charge the crew was placed, has arrived at Baltimore in the barque Amazon : " St. Thomas, W. 1., Feb. 20, 1856. " The barque Amelia arrived at -this port on the Ist inst., in distress. The Amelia was seized by the United States Government at Port au-Prince, having a cargo of military stores and implements nn board, which no doubt were intended for a filibustering expedition. They left Port-au-Prince on the Ist December, and had not been at sea many days before the vessel commenced leaking, and, sailing badly, made very slow progress. On the 24th day out they experienced a very severe gale, which nearly destroyed the vessel, tearing the sails to ribbons. They attempted to make the port of Charleston or Sa vannah, but failed in doing that, and were carried to the eastward. The gale lasted for ten days, raging with great violence, the vessel continuing to leak very badly, and it was with the greatest difficulty she could be kept aft tat by constant pumping. They then attempted to make the port of New York befJre another storm would overteke them, but did not, have that good luck. " On the night of Jan. 5, when near New York, ex pecting the next morning to be inside of Sandy Hook, the wind, which hal been westerly and south-westerly for a few days previous, shifted to the north, and from that point all round the compass. It continued blowing a terrific hurricane for 36 flouts. During the whole of that time the officers and men relieved each other at the pumps, every moment expecting the vessel to sink, the water gaioini all the time on them. Finally, and by de grace, the gale subsided, and they saw there was some chance of escips. Both officers and men suffered severely. Fintbng the vesel was a complete wreck, and b , ting out of provisions and water, all hopes of making a port in the United States were given up, and they at tempted to go into Bermuda, .but -that was not ace ,m -plished. The greatest anxiety at that time was to meet a vessel which would relieve them of their hunger and thirst, but every vessel they met avoided them, giving them as wide a berth as possible—the Amelia being rather a suspicious-looking craft. " Supposing there might be some provision in the hold of the vessel, an examination took place, when a barrel of rice and bread was found, but in a damage 1 condition. They then discovered the hold was swarming with rats. " They went to work anti caught the rats, which, with the rice, kept them from starving. They were in this condition for 22 days. At daylight on the morning of Jan. 23, a vessel was discovered, which proved to be the English brig Ida, Capt. Williams, three days from St. John's. Island of Antigua, bound to London. He showed on a black board his longitude, and Lieut. Werden hailed him, telling him they were 60 days out, and in want of bread and water, or something to eat, that they would be very thankful for anything, as they were starving. He replied he bad no bread to spare, but would give them some flour. A boat was sent on board and returned with o:.ly part of a half-barrel of flour, and nothing else. This, however, they were thankful for, and, with the rats and the rice, they fared quite well. They then con tinued their course, and on the morning of the 31st of January came in sight of the island of Somber() and passed it ; made for the port et St. Thomas, where they arrived on the Ist of Feb., having been 62 days at sea, and most of the time experiencing the greatest suffering. Lieut. Werden handed the vessel over to Major Helm, the United States Consul, who discharged her cargo, and is now shipping it to New York. The whole town was alarmed for fear au explosion would take place, as there were arms and ammunition on board sufficient for an army of 5,000 men. The vessel has been pronounced the most unseaworthy that was ever seen in our harbour, and great credit is due to the officers, who, after 62 days' hardships, succeeded in getting her into port."

THE IMPERIAL GODFATHER.—It is calculated from statistical tables that the number of children born in France on March 16, to all of whom the Emperor and the Empress have promised to be godfather and god mother, must be about 2,500. Every one of these children, whose families may bwilling to accept it, e will receive, it is said, a present of 3,0001. It is in tended that all the boys shall be christened Louis Eugene, and the girls Etigjeie Louise. The proportion of boys to girls born in France is about 45 to 43. CARDIFF IMPROVEMENTS.—The Marchioness of Bute has given instructions for the erection of a new street f'roin the town to the dodo. It is to be 60 feet in width, with crescents and t (pares, and to be planted its entire length with trees. Large bodies of men have been set to work. The Marchioness is also about to erect houses, and has likewise determined to turn a large piece of land into gardens and ornamental grounds. Two new banks are about to be opened in Cardiff--viz., Bailey and Co., and Wilkins and Co., and with these improvements and signs of prosperity the extension of the dock accommodation is taking place. A new col- I lege is to be erected at a cost of 30,0001. at Llaadaff, for female orphans of the clergy, in connection with Ilord'a.Charity. ,-.. 1 TITE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. VIENNA, March 17.—At Bucharest it is related that when the Hospodar Stirbey retires from office in May next a Kaimakam, or Turkish Commissary, will be placed by the Porte at the head of the Waflachian Administration, and the very idea of such an encroachment on their privileges highly exasperates the Wallachians. The rumour has doubt less been spread in order to serve the purposes of ono or other of the numerous candidates for the Hospodariate, as it is difficult to suppose that the Porte can intend to take a step which would make the Wallachians lament that the Russian protecto rate had been abolished. The question of the Danu bian Principalities will long occupy public atten tion, and, therefore, a brief summary of the various official documents which relate to the privileges of the Danubian Principalities will now be given. The oldest document, which bears the date of 1393, is a treaty concluded between Bajazid 1., surnamed Ilderim, and Mirza, Prince of Wallachia. The treaty, which was signed at Nicopolis, contains 5 articles : "Art. 1. The Principality 'recently subjected by ocr invincible force, shall be governed according to its own laws and the Prince shall have the right to make war and peace, and the power of Ida and death over his sub ject". " Art. 2. No Christians who, having adopted the Ma hos:medal' faith, shall go to Wallachia, and there return to their original religion, shall be reclaimed or attacked. " Art. 3. Wallacbians who may go to any part of our territories shall be exempt from captitation or poll•tax. "Art. 4. The Christian Princes shall be elected by the Metropolitan and the Boyarcfs. "Art. 5. But, in return for this great clemency, aed because we have inscribed this Prince Rayah in the list with our other subjects,' he shall be obliged to pqy every year into our Imperial treasure 3,000 red piastres of the country, 1r 500 silver piadres of our m one y." The MTh article would seem to establish for the Porte a right of sovereignty rather tht of suze• rainete. The second document is a treaty concluded in 1460 at Adrianople, between Mahomet 11. and Viade V., Prince of Wallachia. • " Art: 1. The Sultan engages to protect Wallachia against ail . enemies ' without exacting anything more than the supremacy over the sovereignty (la supr6natie sur la souveraintte) of the Principality.' The Voivodes shall be °bilged to pay to the Sublime Porte a tribute of 6,000 piastres. " Art. 2. The Porte will not meddle in the administra• tion of the Principality, and no Turk shall be permitted to enter Wallachia without an ostensible motive.' " Art. 3. Every year an officer will be sent by the Porte to receive the tribute. " Art. 4. The Voivode.s to be elected by the Metropo litan, the bishops, and the 13 , iyards, and the election to be recognised by the Porte.' " Art. 5. The Wallachian nation to have its own laws. The Voivodes to have the power of lite and death over their subjects, and the right to make peace or war with out any kind of responsibility to the Porte. " Art. 6. No renegades, who, having gone to Wal lachia, bad there returned to the Christian Church, to be reclaimed by any Ottoman authority. " Art. 7. Wallachian subjects going to any part of Turkey not to pay the poll tax to which ' all the other Rayahs are subjected' (et laquelle sont sountis les autres Raps). Art. 8. If any Turk has a difference in Wallachia with a native, it shall be settled by the Wallachia!' Divan conformably to the laws of the Principality. " Art. 9. Turkish merchants going to the Principa lity t buy cr sell goods to announce to the authorities how long they intend to stay, and to leave when the time fixed is at an end. " Art. 10. No Turk to take away with him Walla chian servants of -either sex. No Turkish mosque ever to be built in Wallachia. • " Art. 11. The Sublime Porte pledges itself never to summon a Wallachian subject to Constantinople, or to any part of the Turkish dominions." The third document is a treaty concluded in 1513, between Sultan Selim and Bogdan, reigning Prince of Moldavia : " 1. The Sultan acknowledges that Moldavia of its own free will promised obedience to the Ottoman Empire. "2. The Moldavian nation to en)y all its priv►leges, and the Porte promises never, in any way, to curtail them. " 3. The Princes to govern the country, and the Porte not to inedclie either directly or indirectly. " 4. The Porte not to inter:ere in any private differ. enec s. " 5. The boundaries of Moldavia to remain unchanged. " 6. The Mahomedan re.igion prohibited in Moldavia. " 7. No Mahomedan to posses real property in Mot• davia. " 8. Trade with Moldavia to be open to all nations, but the Turks to have the preference if they should wish to purchase the produce of the country. The Turks must, however, trade at Galatz, Ismail, and K ilia, as they will not be allowed to penetrate further into the country without the express permission of the Fringe. "-9. Moldavia shall - preserve the title of Independ ent,' and it shall be given in all letters addressed by the Porte to the Prince. " 10. Turks bringing letters from the Porte to the Prince to remain on the right [rink of the Danube. The Governor of Galltz to eend across the river for them, and forward them to the Prince. " 11. The Moldavian Prince to be elected by the ra tion and recognised by the Porte without the least dial. culty. 12. The country to bo prnte,,,ted by Turkey when the 51 , 11davian nation shall demand aid at,d as4istance. " 13. For all t.hest, adiantage4 the euntitry wakes :;t1 annual present (peschsclt) ut 4,000 ducAts to the Porte." In 1666 the Pacha, of Silistria have greatly an noyed the Wallachians, the Pirte gave orders that all the habitations constructed by Turks on the left bank of the river should be destroyed, and the Wallachiaus left in peace. The form employed by the Porte in the Hatti-Sheriffs addressed to Mol davia and Wallachia has invariably been, " country enjoying fud liberty and self-government." In the year 1834 the following remarkable Hatti- Sheriff was issued by the Sultan Mahmoud : It having been found necessary .to establish on a more solid basis the internal adminfstration of the two c , untries, we have resolved that the Princes of Moldavia and Wallachia shall be chosen for life. They, conjointly with their Divans, shall direct the internal aff.iirs of their countries without the interference of any one, and without any order being issu. d to detract from their rights. All the isles belonging to the left bank of the Danube shall form an integral part of the two Principa lities, and the middle of the river, from its entrance into the Ottoman States to its codioence with the Pruth, shall form the boundary of the two countries. The Porte promises not to maintain fortr,emes or any other esta!)lishinents on the left le of the Danube. No Mahomedan can reside on the left bank of the river, and no merchants shall be permitted to enter the coun try excepting those who have a special permis,ion and come to purchase goods on their own account, cr that of the Ottoman Government. The two Principalities having an independent internal administration can esta blish quarantines and sanitary cordons along the Danube and wherever they may consider them necessary." As compensation for the above-mentioned con cessions, Wallachia agreed to pay an annual tribute of 4,000 and Moldavia 2,000 purses. As no part of the foregoing can possibly apply to that portion of Bessarabia which is now to be ceded to Molda via, there is no reason why any forts which may be constructed on the left hank of the Pruth should not he intrusted to the safe keeping of the Turks. The Moldavians are such a degenerate and corrupt race that they are not to be trusted. GIVING WAY OF A HOUSE FLOORING.—On Saturday, Miss Davies, a rather elderly lady, a grocer residing in Castle-street, Neath, was leaving the parlour of her dwelling-house and was crossing the passage which con nects that room with the kitchen when the flooring gave way, and she was precipitated into the cellar beneath. Hearing her cries, her brother, living next dour, hurried to her assistance, but no sooner opened the kitchen inner door, and stepped thence into the passage, than he also tell int.) the cellar, through the chasm, which being just behind the kitchen door he unfortunately did not per ceive. Attracted by the noise, a Mrs. Lindsay, who lived close by, also went into the house, and, singular to say, also fell through the flooring. The interference of neighbours rescued them, subsequently, from their ex tremely unenviable position. Each of the Davises is bruised very much, and Mrs. Lindsay, in falling' broke hei• leg—indeed, th e s h oc k she received was so great that her recovery is not by any Herald.wansca mean s cer tain—S FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —A fatal accident occur red on th e S wansea Vit;e Railway on Saturday la st, b y which Thomas Williams, an engine-driver, lost his life. The deceased and a stoker named Lewis were proceeding up the line with a train of empty waggons, at about 10 miles an hour. When near the Psilinawn station the axle of the left side leading wheel of the engine suddenly broke. The engine went off the line at a right angle, tak ing the tender with her, and went about 10 yards down the bank ; the first waggon was upset. The deceased, who was standing at the time on the right-baud side, en deavoured to jump off, but the stoker held on to the en gine, which stuck in the bank. Deceased was found lying on the middle of the railway very much injured and inset). Bible, and very much cut about the bead and middle of the body ; his foot was cot off, and his whole body so frightfully mutilated that it literally had to be collected in fragments in order to be placed in the coffin. At the coro ner's inquest, after the above facts had been deposed to, Wm. Lewis, engineer, deposed that he had charge of the engines on the Swansea Valley Railway. It was his duty to see that they were kept in proper working condi tion. The engine in question was an old one, but had been repaired in the months of December and January last. He had examined the engine since the accident, and found that the leading axle hail broken in the part called the "journal" where the brasses went on. This axle had been examined at the time mentioned, and was considered safe. After the repairs the engine com menced running on the 29th of January last. Witness considered that there must have been an extraordinary strain of the wheels some time previous to the accident, signs of a flaw or fracture being found. Verdict, " acci dental death." The deceased N;as a well-conducted and careful man, and has left a widow and eight children, who were entirqly dependent on him for support.-.. SW Hong. , S .., ‘1 s pm?
