THE EUROPEAN AND A&STRALIAN STEAII NAVIGATION COMPANY. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY NIGHT. With a view of celebrating the c immencement of the newly arranged mail service between Great Britain and our importaat colonies in the South Pacific, which is to be carried out in virtue of the postal eontract, conceded not long &ince by the Lords of the Treasury to the Euro pean and Australian Steam Navigation Company, the directors of that association have this afternoon given a sort of impromptu entertainment on board their magni ficent and noble steam -ship Oneida, now fitting out in the Southampton Docks for her first ,voyage to Mel bourne and Sydney, for which ports she is to sail on Sunday next with the regular mails and a large number of passengers, among whom are Sir Istsnry Barkly and suite. It was at first intended that the Oneida should this morning have proceeded on a trial trip, with a view of officially testing her speed in the usual form at Stokes Bay. This, however, was found impossible, ow ing to the coaling of the vessel not having been com pleted. In truth, a trial of this sort would be a mere form, as the qualities of the ship have been quite suffi ciently exhibited during the late run from Glasgow to Southampton. The Oneida will be the pioneer of the company's operations in Australia, and, after her arrival at Melbourne, will be employed between that port and Suez, running in correspondence with othee steam-ships on this .side of the isthmus, between Alexandria and Southampton. The Oneida is to be followed, on the 12th of Nov., by the Simla, which vessel is one of the finest in the service of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, and has just been chartered for a term of two years by the European and Australian-Corn pany. The European and the Columbian, two other ships belonging to this company, are now fitting out in the Clyde, and will take respectively the mails of the 12th of December and 12th of January. Besides these fine ships the company are now building at Glasgow the Australasian of 2,800 tons, 700 horsepower, the Tasmanian and Asian, of 2,300 tons and 500 horse power, and the African, of 1,000 tons and 330 horse power ; but these vessels it is not expected can be got ready for their stations before August or September next year. The regular mail ser vice to and from England and Australia, nice Suez, will not commence till February next, when the first home ward mail may be expected at Southampton. The com pany, as is well known, are bound by enormous penalties for the due and proper fulfilment of their contract with the Government, and great interest naturally attaches to the progress of their operations, the establishment of a rapid and efficient postal communication with Australia being one of the most important social and commercial necessities of the day. The company, since its success in obtaining the Government subsidy, has shown the most commendable vigour and energy in preparing and equipping these ships, and it is to be hoped, not alone in the interest of the public, and of the enormous mercan tile considerations connected with the question, that success will follow their efforts. Although the Peninsular and Oriental Company were the unsuccessful competitors for this contract, we have great satisfaction in noticing that, on being applied to, the managers at once placed at the disposition of their more fortunate rivals one of their most celebrated ships—namely, the Simla—which vessel is to succeed the Oneida. We nnderitand further that the European and Australian Company will be much indebted to the Peninsular and Oriental Company for facilities which will be afforded to them at their several coaling stations in Australia and in the Red Sea,—all these arrangements having been made and perfected long since by the older company, which formerly had steamers on the station, and which kept up establishments at those places in anticipation of being entrusted by the Government with the new contract. Thus it will be seen that the European and Australian Company enters upon its career with every promise of success, to be derived not exclusively from its own efforts, but generously aided by the experience and resources of the largest and most successful steamship undertaking in the world. No jea lousy ought to interpose to disturb the good feeling which seems to exist between these two power ful associations, and the public interest, as well as the prosperity of both, would seem to be advanced by the most cordial co-operation. About 3 o'clock a party of gentlemen, numbering nearly 100, consisting of the directois and managers of the company, many gentlemen connected with steam navigation, and the principal officials of the port of Southampton, eat down to a dejeuner of a most re cherche description, which was prepared in the main saloon of the Oneida. Among the company present were Mr. J. Orr Ewing, Chairman, and Mr. J. Galbraith, Manager of the Company, Mr. R. Andrews, Mayor of Southampton, Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M P., Mr. Mackay, of the firm of J. Baines 'and Co., of Liverpool, Mr. R. Hill, Major Campbell, Capt. M'Dougal, RN., Admi ralty Superintendents of Packets, Capt. Eogiedue, Su perintendent of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, Capt. Stewart, Superintendent of the Australian Mail Company, &c. After the dejenner the CHAIRMAN proposed the usual loyal toasts, which were followed by " the health of his Imperial Majesty the Pasba of Egypt," is introducing which the Chairman stated that the Pasha's great exer tions in favour of, and the interest he takes per• sonally in, the progress of steam navigation and improv ing the transit of the isthmus were the reason for men tioning his name in connexion with the Australian en terprise. This toast was responded to by Mr. Galloway, engi neer to his Highness. " The army and navy" next followed, Major Camp bell's name being coupled with it. " Her Majesty's Government," coupled with the name of Mr. R. Hill, was the next toast proposed by the CHAIRMAN, who complimented Mr. R. Hill upon the great advantages which the commercial and social world had received by his development of the penny postage system. Mr. ROWLAND HILL spoke to the toast, and stated that the Government, in entering into this contract for the conveyance of mails to Australia, desired to con,ult only the best interests of the people of this country and the colonies. Their only wish was to obtain the speediest and most regular transmission of the mails between the two countries. Something had been lately said to him about the establishment of the ocean penny.pestage. tho idea of which emanated from a friend of his, E!ihu Bur ritt ; and some remarks had been made on the fact that an ocean penny postage had been already established between the - United States and Australia. But the fact was that, although only a penny was paid for the trans mission of a letter by sea, it was still subject to an inland rate of lid. in the United States and another of 43. in the colonies, making 6, d. for the entire transmission ; whereas by the mail now about to be established from this country the whole charge would be only 6d. per letter, so that we in this country had in reality approached nearer to an ocean penny postage than the United States. "The Mayor and Corporation of Southampton," re plied to by Mr. ANDREWS, and some other toasts having , been honoured, the toast of the day, " Success to the European and Australian Steam Navigation Company," next followed, and was responded to by Mr. J. PENDER, of Manchester, one of the directors of the company, who briefly declared that it' was the de termination of the comnany not only to merit the confi dence of their friends on both sides of the globe by de voting all their energies to the prompt and effectual carrying out of the -oheme in its entirety, but so to blend the interests of the colonists with those of the mother country in the details and working of the affairs of the company as to afford perfect satisfaction to both in respect to the giantic mercantile, financial, and ex change transaction' which now pass between England and ics southern dependencies. Mr. ROWLAND HILL gave, " Success to the Australian Colonies," .raying that to him the best test of the pros perity of a colony was the number of letters which it produced, and in that respect Victoria, which only 20 years ago was visited for the first time by a European settler, stood prominent among the colonies ! The Australian colonies did not want assistance from the G Pie riiment of this country; but no better mode of unit• ing the sympathies of the colonies and the mother coun try could be devised than the speedy conveyance of let ters between them, and that was proposed to be done by the Government in the present contract. He could also say that, having known the new Governor of Victoria, Sir Henry Barkly, from a boy, he koew that no man was better fitted for the past for which he bad been selected than he was. This toast was acknow !edged by Mr. Youl, of Tasmania, the secretary to the General Postai Association of the Australian Colonies, who expressed his gratification at what had been done by the Government for the con veyance of the mails to the colonies ; the route chosen, he believed, was the right one, being ten days shorter than any other. As a proof of the necessity of a rapid interchange of letters between this country and Austra lia, he stated that there were between 1,500 and 2,000 Australian children in Europe for the purpose of educe,- tien, and how important it was that there should be an easy intercommunication between those children and their parents, and bow calculated the facilities of com munication between the two countries were to generate in those children feelings and habits which would draw them closer to England. Independently, therefore, of its commercial benefit, frequent and speedy postal corn munication was thus productive of social and political results which every colonist and every Englishman must desire to promote.

The arrival of NARNAEZ at Madrid was the signal for the downfall of O'DONNELL. He found that, according to American parlance, he was fairly " cornered," and that he .might as well surrender at once without even attempting to defend the position for the attainment whereof he had made so many and such serious sacrifices. During his three months of office he succeeded in alienating every former friend, without gaining a single new one, in Spain. He recklessly yielded to temptation, although the slightest considera tion might have convinced him that treachery similar to that which he displayed towards ESPARTERO would, on the first convenient oppor tunity, be exhibited towards himself. He is now in the position of a traitor deprived of his antici pated reward—a signal instance of retributive j ustiee. He was necessary to the carrying out of Queen ISABELLA'S project against the Constitution which she had sworn, to observe. Unless a traitor could be discovered in the Cabinet it would have been impossible to get rid of ESPARTERO, whose acceptance of office had within a few years pre served the Crown of ISABELLA. 11. An Absolutist Ministry could not at once be proclaimed without exciting a revolution, of which it was impossible to predict the results. Extraordinary preparations should be made, an overwhelming military force concentrated on the capital, and O'DONNELL was enabled, by virtue of his office, to make the arrangements, without which the Bourbon Dy nasty might have ceased to reign in Spain. O'DONNELL at once fell into the trap so artfully laid for his reception. Cunning as he was, he had one still more cunning to deal with— one profuse in promise, but stingy in performance. Ho could not appear to doubt the pledges of his SOVEREIGN, and, in an evil hour, yielded to the temptations so lavishly displayed before him. It was, however, obvious from the very commence ment, that O'DONNELL was but a mere " warm ing -pan," to hold the situation until a greater favourite at Court—one more ready to carry out Absolutist doctrinel, and to yield implicit obedience to every whim of the SOVEREIGN — could be procured. Every possible blandish ment was exercised the most unbounded favour was displayed towards the instrument, the soothing system was clatinuecl till the very last ; and when every one else knew that the ground was giving way beneath him he fancied himself Imore secure than ever. He should have profited better from his former experience of the charac toristics of the Bourbon race. The only advantage which he received daring his brief tenure of office was the adhesion of the Emperor NAPOLEON, who uudisguisedly mounted his colours. It is, however, difficult to say how the further change will be received at the Tuileries. As a further movement in the absolutist cause it could scarcely be dis pleasing to the Emperor, who, it is said, regards Constitutional Government with no very favour , able eye. He may, however, see that IsABELLA, littl as a true niece of BOMBA, i s going a .e too far —that she is determined to do as she likes with r what she considers her ol n, even if she sacrifices her throne in the attemp t, We shall witness the , j )laying out of the game with comparative indifferei ice. It is scarcely pro bable that NARIAEZ will l ong retain his position. He may continue to r e nder himself more ob noxious than he has hit hi 3rto been, to identify his name with the most unpopular measures, the restoration of the plr alder accumulated by the QUEEN MOTHER, and the extension of her power and influence—a larg e infusion of the sacerdotal element into the Guy ernment, and an unresisting submission to every caprice of the SOVEREIGN, however unreasona.b l, e. But even he must stop somewhere, and a, more unscrupulous agent will yet be discovered, la whom NARYAEZ must yield his position. Then, indeed, 4 ° ' will be the tug of war." The question will no longer be of a change of Ministry—but of a Dynasty. The Spanish as well as the Neapolit. In BOURBONS seem to have nearly accomplished heir destinies. They have hardened their hearts against th e s i gns o f th e times. They have de: ;troyed th e C ons tit u ti ons o which were the firmest foundations of their r spective thrones, and trey ted with gross ingrati tude the nation to whose disinterested efforts they owed the power of displaying the attributes of their race. Well, the day mast hour of retributive justice is rapidly approaching:. Whatever may be the errors of Spaniards o r Neapolitans, they will not perpetually submit to , the despotic domi nations of ISABELLA or of 803 EBA ; although they may not hare merited a direct 4:interference in their favour, they may still be assure 11 that any energetic efforts to obtain freedom will r beeive the sympathy of every true-hearted Engli Elhman, and that if not with them we shall certaiaily not be against them, nor shall we suffer any ,undue interference by other nations. All they require is a clear stage and no favour, and that -they shall receive ! For all beyond they must look to their own right arms. The " hereditai y bondsmen" must themselves strike the blow th It will break down the barriers of oppression, < tnd open the way to liberty and Constitutional Go vernment. Another of those miserable shams and mockeries of Justice, called Courts of I nquiry, has just been appropriately consummated. An investigation growing out of an unfortunate fracas which took place on the 11th ultimo, at the Royal William Victualling Yard, Plymouth, ►between Dr. BUDD, one of the most eminent physicians of South Devonshire, and Captain NIAS:, the local Superin tendent—has resulted in au official judgment, which for its perverse fatuity has seldom if ever been surpassed. The circumstances of the wretched little contretemps from which the Board of Inquiry may be said to have emanated we care not here in any way minutely to recapitulate. The whole affair simply being nothing more nor less, as it appears to us, than. one of those melan choly exhibitions of irrascibility consequent upon the sudden collision of two men of the most incon gruous temperaments—one of them morbidly sen sitive of anything at all bearing the faintest con struction of a personal slight or indignity, the other no less morbidly puffed up with an extrava gant sense of the most egregious self-importance. The abrupt clashing of which same glaringly an tagonistic temperaments produces—hardly less , inevitably than the bringing together of fire and gunpowder—an instantaneous explosion ! It is perfectly comprehensible, therefore (re membering the frailty of human nature), that when an amiable gentleman like Dr. BIDD, of Plymouth, an eminent member of an eminent pro fession, approaches an impulsive gentleman (to say the least of him) like Captain NUS, the Superintendent of the Victualling-yard already mentioned—lt is perfectly comprehensible, we say, that when an unoffending Physician (hat iu hand) approaches a petulant Superintendent (cap on head) only to find his courteous advances waived off with an irritated and irritating movement of the hand, and an order to the bowing Doctor to follow his High Mightiness into some adjacent office—lt is perfectly comprehensible, we say, that all this should somehow, on. the instant, and without' the smallest opportunity for premeditation, be resented. Particularly if the incident happens to transpire, as it actually did transpire, on the 11th ultimo, in the presence of a group of ladies, the friends of this same courtly but repulsed physi cian ! The sequel is soon told—almost as rapid and inevitable a sequel as that resulting from the application of the lighted match to the train of gunpowder. Wincing under such unexpectedly cavalier treatment Dr. BUDD declines to have anything to do, either with the office or the Cap tain-Superintendent. The latter, thereupon, "incontinently" orders a policeman who is stand ing hard by and gazing with astonishment at the two wonderfully choleric interlocutors, to turn Dr. BUDD out of the yard ! Without any more rea son for so doing than we have here mentioned-- , without any more ado—in the presence of Dr. BUDD'S friends, the ladies who are looking on from a little distance at this most extraordinary treat ment of their companion. Naturally, very natu rally, tho worthy doctor hears the order for his being thus summarily ejected from the yard by a policeman with absolute amazement. He pauses. The " Peeler" takes him by the arm in order to carry into execution the command of his superior officer, the Captain-Superintendent. Thereupon, goaded by these indignities, quoth Dr. BUDD turning upon Captain NlAs—" You aro the greatest brute I ever saw " Having relieved himself of which pithy expression of Ellis gust, the doctor (who had come with an Admi ralty letter, authorising him to conduct a party of French gentlewomen, lion-hunting, over the dockyard) is walked through the gate, in presence of his companions, and under the eyes of the policeman. Such, briefly, was the lamentable little fracas between Dr. JoHN BUDD, M.D., of Plymouth, and Captain JOSEPH Nies, C. 8., Su perintendent of the Royal William Victualling Yard—the fracas upon which an Admiralty Board of Inquiry has just been sitting, and upon which that same hoard has but very recently pro nounced its judgment, after all due delay and deliberation. A judgment, we are bold to say, at once the most perverse and the most prepos , terous. Let it be remembered that, according to the declaration of Captain NIAs, it was after Dr. BUDD had called him a brute, that he ordered the doctor to be turned out of the yard by a police man I Whereas, according to the statement of lir. BUDD (a statement, it must be added, sup ported upon oath by all the evidence brought to bear upon the matter before the official Court of Inquiry), it was in, conserptenco of his being or dered to be ejected from the yard, as already related, that the doctor, in a sudden outburst of exeitenaont, indulged himself by blurting out thu3 significantly his disgust at the extraordinary. course pursued by the Captain Superintendent. "It is clear, then," as our very plain-spoken physician wrote, in a letter addressed by him on the 18th ult. to Mr. PHINN . , of the Admiralty, "It is clear, then, that either Captain NIAS or myself must be before their Lordships -a con- ri-LE SUN, LON T)GN, WED_ESDA ..?,* -- ENING OCTOBER 15, Ibs vict3d liar." Hence—rather than upon account ' of the fracas itself—the remarkable Court of Inquiry, the proceedings of which have but just now terminated. It was sworn to upon oath be fore that Court of Inquiry, that Dr. BUDD'S state ment of the transaction was correct, and that, consequently, Captain NIAS'S was—how shall we express it ?—incorrect ! Yet—remembering the alternative boldly thrust before their Lordships of the Admiralty, in the letter already mentioned, the letter addressed by Dr. BUDD on the 18th ult. to their Lordships' Secretary—lo ! and behold ! the judgment pronounced by the Members of the Board of Inquiry (to wit, Admiral Sir W. PARKER, Bart., and Rear-Admiral MARTIN, and Rear-Admiral Sir H. CnAns), at the close of the whole of these elaborate proceedings. It is con veyed to the one unfortunate and unoffending victim of the entire transaction, through the medium of the following most remarkable com munication : LATEST NEWS. The Sardinian frigates Carlo Alberto, 60, Eu ridice, 40, and Governolo, 16, have received orders to leave Genoa in the course of this week. It is believed they are to proceed to Ajaccio. Malta. MADRID, OCT. 14. The following additions have been made to the new Ministry : S. Movano, Public Works, and Civil Governor of Madrid. S. Zaragoza, Colonies. The Paris correspondent of the Times, in his letter, dated yesterday, thus alluding to the late Change of Ministry in Spain, says : " We know as yet few of the particulars re specting the " Decline and Fall" of the O'Donnell Government. It is certain that no one could be more amiable in manner, kinder, or apparently more determined to keep on her Ministers, than the Queen up to the last moment. At the levee on the 10th, her Majesty's birthday, she was particularly gracious. General O'Don nell requested her to give the Grand Cross of Isabella Cattolica to the outgoing Mini ster Cantero ; she replied that she should do so with the greatest pleasure, and not only to him, but to the whole of the Ministers, and she was pleased to add that she never had Ministers with whom she was more satisfied, In short, she was all grace and condescension. In two days after they were all turned out. It is the history of Ferdinand VII., and his practice of making some present indicative of his special favour to the un fortunate man whose ruin he had previously re solved on. This was so well known that his Ministers or courtiers trembled when the King was more than usually kind or familiar with them. " IVlr. Phinn to Dr. Budd. "Admiralty, 6th Oct., 1856. "Sir, —My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having caused inquiry to be made into the subject matter of your complaint against the Captain-Superintendent of 11 , .‘r Majesty's Victualling Yard at Plymouth, desire me to express their regret at the occurrence of which you complain. "My Lords are, however, convinced that Capt. Nias intended to offer no discourtesy to you, and you must feel that you permitted yourself to use expressions which ought not to have been addressed to any gentleman in the position of the Captain-Superintendent. " I am, sir, your most obedient servant, "THOMAS PHINN. "J. W. Budd, Esq., M.D., Plymouth." So !—their Lordships, conveying their decision in two sentences, take oocasion in the first sen tence to express their regret at the occurrence of which Dr. BUDD complained, viz., the uncalled for insolence towards him of the Captain Super intendent—yet in the second sentence they flatly contradict themselves by adding that they are convinced the said Captain NIAS "intended no discourtesy I" Was there ever a greater absurdity than this in the way of a formal official decision ? It is the old story all over again. The evil was done—but Nobody did it ! That is (as the saying goes) the English, of all these pompous official judgments. That is the upshot. That is the length and breadth of it. In great things as in ismall—everywhere it is the same in our complex and bungling system of administration. Whether the subject for investigation by the Courts of Inquiry—here at Chelsea or there at Plymouth— have reference to the sacrifice of the feelings of an honourable gentleman or to the frightful melt ing away of a gallant army of 30,000 men before Sebastopol. The Paris Correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter of yesterday, says : The note, or ultimatum, despatched to Naples on Saturday last, is described as very moderate, in form at least. With respect tothe French squadron I understand the orders are that it shall cruise off Naples, but at a distance, in order not to afford any temptation to the disaffected to revolt, and not to produce excitement among the population. The fleets will no doubt arrive soon after the ulti matum. There is no doubt of the Ambassadors being recalled in the too probable event of the King still refusing to act on the demands of the Allies. Up to the latest date his Majesty persisted in his refusal. He appears perfectly confident that his people will remain passive, even though they know the fleets are off the coast. Indeed his Majesty is so sure of matters going on well, that he can afford to be facetious at the demonstrations of England and France. When he went to Gaeta the other day, he said to his guards, " Adieu, Messieurs, to our next meeting. If you happen to hear anything about the French and English fleets pray be so good as to come and tell me." The sale of diseased meat in the metropolis continues apparently unabated. Notwithstanding the exposures with which the public were recently appalled, and the denunciations and warnings which these exposures evoked, individuals are found daring and reprobate enough to pursue the unholy traffic. The 'parish of St. Marylebone, according to :the most recent infor mation, appears to be one of the principal centres of their operations. There the poisonous carrion is deposited in sickening abundance, to be sold to , the petty dealers, whose avocation it is to foist it on the poor. To expose it in the light of day would be impolitic. Accordingly we find the period selected for its exposure and sale is at night, or the first thing in the morning. The too curious eye, that might detect some latent and indisputable token of disease by daylight, may safely be permitted. to indulge its prying by the yellow and flickering flame of broad streams of half consumed gas, while the unsavoury odours collected between sunrise and sunset, in a low locality, interpose a formidable obstacle to nasal discrimination. Thus the poor are deceived, plundered, and poisoned. The traffic, ton, is sys tematically carried on—in the full meaning of the word. A regular clique, we are told, is con cerned in one slaughter-house, and the man who keeps it gets so much a-head for dressing the pes tilent carrion for the market. We have this on the authority of the Medical Officer of Health, who, in his monthly report to the Sanitary Com mittee, furnishes us with this and other informa tion of the like startling description. " I have great reason, with regret to state," says the worthy official, " that a large amount of diseased meat is sold to the poor in the course of the month." How large may partly be inferred from his recommendation that no fewer than twenty three unwholesome slaughter-houses should be suppressed under the new act, which comes into operation on the Ist of November next, The particulars of a seizure in a favourite slaughter house among these infamous dealers—that to which we have already referred, situate in Mid dlesex-mews—furnish us with a faithful. descrip tion of the sort of meat sold. The seizure em braced the greater portion of two cows, the carcass of one of which, by the way, was traced from a cowkeeper's near Kensal-green. The animal, we aro told, was affected with disease of the lungs, and, when on the point of death, was sent in the middle of the night to the slaughter-house in question. The flesh was in a most flabby state, characteristic of the animal being in the last stage of plenro-pneumonia ; while the fat, which was deficient in quantity, presented a watery aspect, and feoulent matter was detected in considerable quantity in more than one portion of the carcass.

It was not thought in the beginning of this unpleasant affair that we should declare, like mendicants, that " the smallest contribution would be grate fully accepted." We extract the following remarks from the letter of the Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition) : " I am now able to assure you that the Em peror's return to Paris has been attended with good results, both as regards domestic as well as foreign interegs. His Majesty has resisted the advico of those who sought to bring discredit on French finance by proposing paper payments at the Bank. His Majesty will not hear of any thing of the sort. No encouragement will be given to - Russian railways by the Govern ment of Napoleon 111., and every effort will be made to check the exaggerated speculative mania of the clay. Government has in contemplation the removal of certain restrictions which considerably augment the price of food in Paris, and, I believe, no more houses will be pulled down without aug• mented accommodation being provided for the poor and middle classes of society. " As regards foreign affairs, the Emperor has ex pressed himself very decidedly against those whose language and written communication displayed Russian tendencies, to the forgetfulness of the honour of France and the people who have made so many sacrifices in the late war. His Majesty will not allow private commercial interests to take precedence of those of the State. The diplomacy, therefore, of England and France is again con firmed as regards the necessity of supporting the treaty of Paris ; and if the Emperor does not make another long runaway visit to some place far distant from Paris, we shall have no difficulty about the Serpents' Island ques tion, or indeed any other. His Majesty's presence is as necessary for foreign as home interests, indeed much more so. You may ex pect to hear that the Governments of England and France have broken off diplomatic relations with Naples. The Cabinets of Paris and London are quite agreed as to the mode in which King Ferdinand ought to be treated for the insults he has offered to Franco and England in his late conduct, as well as in the language of his diplo macy. Each Government has sufficient material in hand for bringing the King on his knees, and I really believe now they are on the point of em ploying it." A. private letter from Naples, dated the 7th, gives the following facts : "in political circles it is thought that the Wes tern Powers are too far advanced to retreat, and that they are bound to make a demonstration of some kind or other, were it only confined to recalling the Representatives of England and France, and to taking on board ship such of their countrymen as desire to quit the coun try ; but it is not believed that matters will be ca r ried any farther, and this con c l us i on i s come to on the supposition that the Emperor Napo leon is opposed to anything in the shape of a revolutionary movement ; and again on the certainty of the presence of th e Austrian flag side by side with stat of the Western Powers in case o f the appearance of the squadrons before Naples. Austria has through Out the affair played such a part as forbids us to attribute anything me nacing character to a demonstrationi like a n which she would take a share. In this state things are a t tithe present. In the mean e the preparations for defence are actively going on. Tho police redouble their efforts, and adopt the most energetic mea sures to oppose any demonstration, whether hostile or favourable, on the appearance of the fleets.

The Times' correspondent at Vienna thus no vices the subjEct Up to yesterday afternoon (Oct. 11) no de spatch had been received from General von Mar tini, and his prolonged silence is considered a bad sign, as he would certainly have written without delay had the King of Naples displayed any incli nation to follow the counsel given by Austria. The King has now acquired the certain knowledge that Russia, Austria, and Prussia are opposed to any extreme measures on the part of the_yVestern Powers, and it may, therefore, reasonably be supposed that he will not be more inclined to make concessions now than he was a month ago." The Ost Deutsche Post of yesterday states posi- Lively that the Ambassadors of the Western Powers have been recalled from Naples, but that the fleets will stay provisionally at Toulon and THE TOTAL LOSS OF THE ROYAL' MAIL STEAM SR TAT. A letter from Vienna in the Post Ampt Gazette says :—" It is affirmed, on good authority, that in the negotiations which took place relative to the affairs of Naples, a secret was agreed to between the Western Powers, having for object t 3 guarantee to the reigning dynasty the throne of the Two Sicilies. In that document a formal declaration, it is said, was made that the efforts of any other party, whatever name it might bear, should not find any countenance from the powers in question." A letter from Vienna of the 9th, in the Bourse Gcmette, of Berlin, says • " General Martini, at a long audience which he has had with the King of Naples, presented to his Majesty an autograph letter written by the Emperor of Austria. It is said that that missive produced a great impression on the King. General Martini hopes therefore that his ulterior representations will be favourably received. This is the real state of the case." A letter from Brunswick, in the Post A mpt I Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" It appears that France will consider it necessary to establish for tified works between Strasburg and Kehl, in order to counterbalance the importance of the fortified bridge which it is intended to con struct on the Rhine at Cologne. This view has been conveyed by the French Government to the various Courts of Germany, and that Government has requested the latter to present in reply their opinions with respect to the project. Some of these Courts have already replied that the two fortified works cannot be placed on the same line of comparison, because at Cologne both banks of the river belong to the same power, whilst at Kehl one bank of the Rhine belongs to France, and the other to the Grand Duchy of Baden, which can never menace the French empire. So the matter remains at present." MARSEILLES, OCT. 14. Intelligence has been received here from Con stantinople to the Gth inst.

" Sir,—lt is my melancholy duty to xeport, the total loss of the Royal Mail steamer Tay, lately under mY command. The following are briefly the particulars eee" The Tay left Vera Cruz at noon, on Friday, the 30th of August. The wind was very light from the N. en d N.E., and calm. After having steered three miles IC and by E., shaped the course N. and by NV. e, the en, glues being in the sixth grade of expa n si on , making 16 .' to 16.4 revolutions per minute, g ivi ng th e s peed el ov er , 11 knots, running in this course, by calculation, about 125 miles. I altered the cours e , at midnight, to N.W. by W., supposing that it would take r ' 3 : „ twelve wiles to the eastward o f L o bos. I was — l , deck at 2 a . m ., an d rema i ne d th ere up t o the neorne. e ," that the ship struck. I was on th e f , rec astle, look in e e the out with the chi e f o ffic er , an d su dd en ly o b ser ved, o ming port b o w, w h a t a pp eare d t o b e a squa ll o f w ind co, over the water. I d rew th e a tt en ti on o f the chief offi cer to it, who thought the same. I immediately went in crder to get my night-glass, but before I could get the chief officer cried out, "Hard a-port : hard a • p ort • which was immediately done, and the engines stoppe d ', but the ship struck with much force, and after striking heavily, her head came rou n d t o th e nor th. Seeing thf l i perilous position of the s'aip, I immediately ordered e h the boats to be cleared away, and l o w e r e d down, evb, ic t ,, were carried out without confusion. I then go t inane from below, and placed them in the starboard li'e. boat, which soon after left the ship in charce of ,e 1 Admiralty agent and second officer, with the inten de d of proceeding to Tampico. All efforts were then I n 3 et to get the ship off. I got a 10-c w t. kedge anchor .6 on the starboard bow, with an 8 inch h a wser fast to 1 t hove well taut, and s t eame d on a h ea d, eng ines going 11 full speed. During thi s ti me , th e ro ll ers wer e brea, ing heavily over the afterpart of the ship, and sea incressil momentarily, the hawser broke by the great strain , 50 4 the ship surged much further up on the beach. SOW, the engines and eased down the steam, for fear of an 3- t . cident in the engine -room. I then got a second 10. 01 "; kedge, with a 9-inch hawser out. I hove these taut, b h tl by this time the stern had been carried further up 0 , 0 t e a -8 beach. The stern-post and rudder were gone, ant', cabin was full of water—in fact, the sea was ma d o breach right over her; and &ding it impossible tod anything more, resolved to abandon her to her fate, in e r tt e e to save life. I regret mu c h t o s t a t e th a t i n this, the Ok a s e e being lowered, was swamped, and two men, John Jeff - ' ordinary seaman, and Alfred Mills, pantry man, we re ieol l i ; diately drowned. A no th er man , name d Louis P, to chenay, scullion, who was with them, an d thrown , il3 /0 the water, succeed e d i n reac hi ng th e shore , and I ' l 'o reason to believe he is still alive, as we saw him day on the beach. I shipped off the men by ol d be boat a few at a time, with such provisions as e n/I : e sti; saved. They were then transferred to the other e i e fs , which had previously b een anc h ore d outs id e o f the b ea ts By 11.30 a.m., all bands had left the ship. The ! 3c re were then steered for the island of Lob os , a bout 8 w' re distant, and were all safely landed th ere a t 2.4 0 Pci Search was then made for fresh water, our store 13911 , 0 - been exhausted, and, fortunately, the men were ile; "de successful in finding a supply. Whilst writing, l ' c ' t bo Blanchenay has arrived from the coast; therefore nes two casualties I previously named were the 0 1 9 that happened. to eI Y I visited the ship on Sunday, but was unable proach nearer than a mile, on account of the verY rollers. She bad settled down on the starboard Thee side, and had parted abaft the engine-roomy ,- a1:1- n eef stern and quarter-deck were under water. On 0 - 1 - - t he the weather was the same, preventin g all access fr ° .oo wreck, the sea making a clear breach over her' ee d in next day, however, it moderated, an d I succeed' getting on board, thus enabling us to save some r Yieiol4 b ; h O d e At noon the Mexican steamer Iturbide,_ eve' e 01 been despatched to our assistance by the Greye r ,, r ee on Tampico, arrived off the island. We were all tepTat t board and landed at Tampico on Wednesday where we were afterwards joined by these of the to boat. The stores saved have been handed °/ t he Messrs. Jolly and Co., who will dispose of them t ° de a best advantage and benefit of the company.

FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. It has been announced that to-morrow the Moniteur will publish an " energetic" note about the affairs of Naples. " The Emperor and the Empress," says the Paris correspondent of the Independance of Brussels, " will proceed to Compiegne on the 19th, where their Majesties will remain for three weeks. All the invitations issued are for one week, so that there will be three series of visitors. The Duke de Bassano, whose sojourn in Belgium was to have been prolonged, has been summoned back to Paris to resume his duties." The Paris journals reproduce the intelligence of the formation of the Narvaez Cabinet, without comment. No intelligence whatever has reached Paris to day from Spain, so that there is little to add to the news of yesterday, excepting the extracts from the journals printed before the change of Ministry. According to despatches from Athens of the 7th Admiral Lyons was still expected there. The Persian Ambassador, on his road to France, has reached Trebizonde. This day the Emperor Napoleon held a grand review at Saint Maur.

The Gmxtte also contains the following : " The Journal des Debats,in a paragraph which various journals of this capital have reproduced and comtnented upon, amongst other incorrect intelligence, affirms that ' the British charge d'affaires in Madrid asked explanations from tI - 2e Minister for Foreign Affairs with respect to the cessation of the sequestration of the ropert of 11.1 VI. the Queen Moth er , an d was replied to with co y nsiderable vivacity by Senor Pastor Diaz, We are completely au thorised to assert that the tact related by the Debuts has not the !slightest foundation, and that between Mr. Otway and Senor Pastor Diaz not a single syllable was ever interchanged upon this matter, and that the report in question, like so many others, is an invention which has nut even the merit of being probable." A letter has the following- strange story "A serious incident, in which Marshal Narvaez figures, ii a good deal talked of here. It is said that he went yesterday to pay a visit to Gen.
