Warren piped all hands to the beach, and read the Articles of War. We were preparing tents for the night (having landed some sails) when a Danish coast-guard officer came and said, «If we slept under the teats, nearly all the ship's company would be very ill the next day." He suggested to the captain to allow the ship's company to go to some fishermen's huts, about two miles off. The men were then marched to the huts, where they were billeted for the night, with orders to assemble at daylight. This they did, and under Capt. Warren's superintendence, assisted by some Danish offi cers, every exertion was made to save the stores on board the ship. The next day, too, everything was done to say+• the stores, but the ship was fast breaking up. O n Friday I proceeded to Thisted, with seven officers- and 42 men, with order.► to proceed to Hamburg, reporting myself to Col. Hodges, he; Majesty's Consul-General. This I did. In reply to questions from the Court, the witness said —The ship, when she struck, was going at between seven and eight knots per hour. He could not state whether any soundings had been obtained on the morning the ship struck. The engines were not stopped to get bot tom. He had not consulted with the captain or the mas ter respecting the navigation of the ship--not after leaving the Spurn-light. Witness would not have consi dered it necessary to have stopped the ship to get sound ings. He believed there wa►t no lead going when the ship struck. It was not ;,expected they would make Hanshohner light on the coast of Jutland before night. When he gave up charge of the deck, they could see a distance of about five miles. He thought they were run ning parallel to the land. He thought_ they were in deep water—over 100 fathoms. He was not aware that any soundings had been taken since the ship left Eng land. A considerable number of other questions were put to the witness, but they were of a purely profes sional or technical character. Lieutenant England and other witnesses were called, but their evidence did not elicit any particular new facts. They, however, confirmed the above testimony as to a laxity in taking soundings and observations. This morning Commander Warren entered on his de fence. It was very long, but it spoke of the death of Mr. Herbert in generous and feeling terms, and did full jus tice to his character. The officers of the ship were then called, and they deposed to the real, attention, and as siduity which Commander Warren had displayed. The Court remained in consultation two hours, and then acquitted the crew and officers of the ship, and, with regard to Commander Warren, found—" That the loss of the steam sloop Polyphemus is to be ascribed mainly to the irregularities of the currents on the coast of Jutland, where she was wrecked ; but, while the Court considers there is evidence of much attention hav ing been paid by the commander, and no want of gene ral vigilance was imputable to him, it is nevertheless the opinio❑ of the Court that blame is attachable to the said Commander Frederick Pelham Warren in not having slackened ithe speed of the vessel to obtain accurate soundings, especially when running, in thick weather, in the neighbourhood of laud where the currents are known to be irregular. " The Court considers that evory exertion was used, after the wreck, and, upon consideration of all the cir cumstances of the case, does adjudge the said Commander Frederick Pelham Warren to be reprimanded for his neglect on the occasion." POSTAL. COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALI_4. (Frew the Time 4 of this day.) It will scarcely be believed by persons who are not immediately interested in the communication with our Australian colonies that upwards of three months is consumed in the transmission of a letter from Melbourne to London. The outward passage is performed in some eight or nine days less. This we give as this general average, but the result must not be regarded as invariable, or even regular, for in that case it would be more tolerable. There is nothing so uncertain as the time which will be re quired for the transmission of a letter between these great colonies and the mother country, and vice re Ma. Now, when it is considered that in the year 1853, according to a return made to the House of Commons in May, 1854, the declared value of the imports of British goods into the Australian colonies attained the figure of 14,506,5321., it will be readily understood that very important interests are in volved in the solution of this postal question. The trade between ourselves and our countrymen at the antipodes is completely disorganised by our care lessness and improvidence on this important point. Four years ago an experiment was made to esta blish a regular service by way of the Cape of Good Hope. The public will no doubt have a painfully , accurate recollection of the result of that unfortu nate proceeding. Misfortunes of every kind, from within and without, fell ,upon these Australian. steamers, and at length, aft e r th e ex p er i men t h a d been tried by two companies, it was considered a failure and abandoned. Since that period we have had a semi-monthly service by way of Suez, which was maintained with tolerable regularity until ttto present war, when it was suspended. On the 4th of the present mouth a meeting of the General Association for the Australian colonies was held iu London, and the result of their deliberations has just been published. They maintain that it was impolitic and unjust to suppress the Australian and to maintain the Chinese line, for the relative im portance of the lines is shown by a comparison be tween the imports of these two quarters of the globe. Whereas in the year 1853 the value of the Austra lian imports from England was only 14,506,5321., the value of the China imports was only 1,787,675/. These gentlemen say, and say with apparent reason, that " there was no necessity for the suppression of the Australian post line, for, had the comparatively unimportant China mail service been selected for discontinuance, it is clear that the due transit of the Australian mails need never have been inter rupted. This becomes even more apparent when it is considered that the relative lengths of the two lines are about equal, and employ the same number of ships." This appears to be a very satisfactory answer to the statement which is invariably made whenever this subject is brought forward, to the effect that the temporary interruption of our postal communication with Australia is a necessary con sequence of the hostilities in which we are at pre sent engaged. Having thus disposed of the general objection, the members of the Australian Associa ' tion address themselves next to the question of the preferable route for steam-vessels between England and Australia. There are four principal routes—namely, the two late mail routes via the Cape and via Singa pore ; the route projected by Panama ; a•&d, finally, the route in a diagonal line across the In dian Ocean, by way of the island of Diego Garcia ; this is the line which is viewed with favour by the association. We proceed to extract froth the petition to the Treasury their state ment of the comparative distances and of length of passage, in which they profess to be mainly guided by the calculations of the Hydrographor Royal for the Parliamentary Steam Committee. The figures are calculated upon the run from Dover to Melbourne. The distance, then, by way of the Cape is 13,367 miles ; the duration of the passage, 64 days. The distance by way of Singapore is 11,521 miles ' • the duration of the passage, 64 days. The distance by way of Panama is 12,686 miles ; the duration of the passage, allowing four days for stoppages, and taking the speed at 10 knots, would be 56 days, 21. hours. Finally, on the route by way of Diego Garcia, recommended by the As sociation, the distance is 10,348 miles : the dura tion of the passage is estimated at only 44 days. This island of Diego Garcia, or the Great Chagos, lies directly in the track of a ship sailing from Aden to King George's Sound, and is about midway be tween the Mauritius and Ceylon. The harbour is described as well sheltered and free from hurri canes, and the island is admirably adapted fora coal ing station, just at the' very point where one is wanted. The Association base their calculation upon the assumption that 10 knots an hour will re present the speed attained ; but they, at the same time, remind the Treasury that the Himalaya has already managed to cover 14 knots ; and that the Persia, constructed for Cunard's Line, averaged 141 knots upon her recent trial trip. There is not a shadow of doubt that, as the minds of in g enious men are more directed to these subjects, a far greater speed than 10 knots will be obtained. To recur to the Diego Garcia route—the time occupied between Dover and Men, via Marseilles, Alexan dria, and Suez, is well know n b y experience. In clusive of all necessary stoppages and delays, it is, say, 15 days and a few hours, which includes a stoppage of 12 hours at Aden. Starting from this point the rest of the calculation stands thus : Time. Miles. Days. Hours. Aden to Diego Garcia 2,074 8 15 Stoppage at Diego Garcia Diego Garcia to King George's Sound 3,113 12 3 Stoppage there King's George's Sound to Mel bourne The Association take into calculation an allow ance for accidental delays of 1 day 14 hours, and thus attain their ultimate figure of 44 days for the entire run. We do not think wo are over-sanguine in the expectation that many a person now living will perform tho cliaanee between Dover and Melbourne V C ' LOND() , WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 12, 1856.

SPORTING NOTES. WAIFS FROM WARWICK. Turfite3 " acquire a natural and prompt alacrity " in standing " Sam." The Clerk of the Course is a popular man ; he knows how to hit the public taste, and he can apparently always command a good meeting. Despite many drawbacks the gathering at Warwick attained considerable success, and the promise which the pro. gramme presented was realised to an extent which was little expected. If the sport was not marked by much prospective importance, it was at least of considerable temporary interest. On Monday the Trial Stakes ex cited evident curiosity. Jack Shepherd, who looked in blooming condition, was much fancied. Stork was next in demand, whilst many persons, placing faith in the judgment of Mr. T. Parr, who stated that Fisherman was sure to beat Stork if he could only beat Jack Shep herd, trusted the puce jacket and white sleeves to pull -them through. Fisherman won very cleverly, and was subsequently much talked about for the City and Subur ban Handicap. Some weeks ago I mentioned him in terms of strong commendation, and suggested the policy of his never being slightingly regarded. After all, Mr. T. Parr did not make, a very, bad bargain when ho bought Fisherman last July at Liverpool. Some sur prise was expressed to him oti that occasion because he had just sold The Coroner, and people could not under stand why he should Sell one two-year-old and buy an other. Mr. Parr is said to have answered at the time, " Why, I have sold an animal far 1,4001. and bought a better one for 5001." Not believing, however, that Fisherman is as good as The Coroner, I still fancy that one 71bs. better would win the Derby. Mr. Goodman made a sad blunder with Fulbeck for the Willoughby Handicap. In his endeavour to "draw it fine" he completely threw the race away. He was in fact out-ridden and "knocked silly" by Captain Little, who rode Rodo-meli with all the tact ind determination of a professional jockey. The Fill beck party were again sorely disappointed to-day by the contest for the Great Warwick Handicap. They deemed the race reduced to a certainty, but Little Davie, making his own running►, won with evident ease by three-quarters of a length. Veteran attained the barren honours of third place, and surely such utter brutes as he and Surgeon-General are more suited to a fish cart than a race course. People who have formed high expectations of The Prince of Orange will doubtless be inclined to sing— " There's a good time coming, boys, Wait a little longer." The brothers Parr were again brought into collision to-day. As in the ease of Coroner and Stork at various meetings last year, Tom beat Edwin for the Two-yr-old Stakes. The winner is well-looking enough, but Lain bourne seemed as fat as a bull, and was evidently out of condition. He will yet be heard of to advantage. Madame Clicquot, a filly, very much like Bay Rosa. lied, was an immense favourite, but she led to the dis tance, where she stopped. The starter and the jockeys do not exactly put their horses heads together. The "rows " between them be come annoyingly frequent. Mr. Hibburd insists, and rightly, upon rigid obedience, but still he is incapable of bringing the spoiled boys, with whom he has to deal, under proper discipline. Jockeys are fined, but to no purpose, and the starter gets foul abuse for exerting bis authority. Stewards cf races and the Jockey Club, however, will doubtless protect their own "official" from direct personal insult. The Something which I have to say about Salisbury mu,t be necessarily short, for no information can be gathered here respecting the appointed sport. Should Sultan start be will, of course, win the Trial Stakes, Either May Boy or Alice Wentworth may win the Wilt : hire Stakes. Itogerthorpe would be engorly scanned were he to he brought cut for the Biennial Stakes. In his absence Intimidation ought to pull through. Flacrow, Flageolet, and Master Horton seem to me the most noteworthy names among the twenty-four nominations fn. the Handicap Plate. Apathy may fol low uo hia Warwickshire success by winning the Wilton Park Stakes. A FRESH MAN. Leamington, Tae3day Night. Sporting Intelligence. WARWICK SPRING MEETING.—TUESDAY.

A marked improvement was displayed in the attend. ance of company. The weather, too, was sunny and genial, and the sport sufficiently interesting to arouse and sustain curiosity. The Two - Year-Old Stakes brought out a large field. Madame Clicquot was made the favourite, but she sorely disappointed her backers. She seems to be made for speed, and not endurance. She was beaten at the distance, whence the race was solely confined to Lambourn (brother to Coroner) and Apathy—horses belonging respectively to Mr. Edwin Parr and Mr. T. Parr. The Great Warwick Handi cap was won by Little Davie, who made all his own running, and whose luck on this course is notorious. He was backed at prices ranging 'rein 100 to 6 to 8 to 1. So limited was speculation on the Steeplechase and other coming events that we do not feel justified in making a formal quotation. 4 to 1 was offered on the field for the Steeplechase, and 15 to 1 was taken to 1001. about Barber's lot for the Chester Cup. Franc Picard, Jean du Quesne, Emigrant, Beech nut, and Harry Lorrequer have arrived. AN INTELLIGENT SIGN.—A post was erected by the directions e,f the surveyors of the roads of Kent, some years ago, bearing the following inscription :—" This is bridle•path to Faversham: it you can't read this, you had better keep the main road."

They will be ready to sail on the 20th. This firm also launched a large iron merchant steamer on Saturday. She is in tended for the Mediterranean trade. Mr. John Laird yesterday launched another wooden gun-boat, the Redbreast, from his Birkenhead yard, and two iron mortar-boats rrom his building yard at Liver pool, making four mortar-boats and three gun-boats launched by him since Thursday. The gun-boats Bsacen and Brave, launched a few days ago, proceeded to Ports mouth on Friday, and the Brazen and Blazer will go on Thursday or Friday next. Four more mortar-boats are expected to be launched from the came yard next week, which will make six mortar-boats and eight gunboats built by Mr. Laird. Several others are on the stocks.

PORTSMOUTII, March 11.—The court-martial on the loss of the Polyphemus, 5 gene, was re-opened to-day, on board the flag-ship Victory, under the presidency of Rear-Admiral Sir R. S. Deudas, Commander-in-Chief of-the Baltic fleet. It was closed this afternoon, and we , are therefore enabled to give the following digest of the evidence, which was very voluminous : Lieut. Frederick Pyne deposed—l came on deck of the Polyphemus about one bell after 8 a.m. on Tuesday, the 29th of Jan. The ship's heed was then east by north. It %13 a very dull day, but I could see a long distance. Nothing was in sight. We went to divisions. Mr. Tracey, midshipman, was officer of the watch, and I re lieved him after the drum had beaten to divisions. He gave me the orders—course E. by N., seven knots. We were about half an hour at divisions ; it was then coming on a thick fog. The captain and the master were both loekiug out after divisions. Mr. Tracey relieved me, and I told Inns the orders were the same, and that no alteration had been made in the course. Lstweeu 10 and 11 a.m. I proposed to the captain to scrub some hammocks, as we might, not have a chance again. He replied, "No ; I am afraid you will have to put off your hammocks ; we are surrounded by fog." We then cora -Ime need dridieg the watch at great gun exercise. I was walking forward and near abreast of the engine-room , when the ship struck. I immediately gave the orders— " Stop her ; go astern full speed," which orders were instantly carried into execution. I cried out to the ( quartermaster to put the helm amidships. I met the captain and the master on the quarterdeck, the latter officer having just come up from below. I said, "We are on shore, sir." Thu ship was then striking repeatedly. The captain ran upon the bridge, and the master got a line and commenced sound ing over the stern. I stood on a gun and looked round, but could see no land or rocks. It was then a thick fog. The captain gave the order, "Out paddle box boats." I omitted to say there was a leadsman in the chains. Directly the captain gave the above order I took my station on the quarter-deck, and proceeded to carry the order into execution. The boats were turned over, and, in lowering the starboard paddle-box boat, a sea struck her, and she was instantly swamped. The port boat was lowered, the master (Mr. Herbert) having charge of her, and he commenced taking iu the stream anchor and cable. The quarter and stern boats were lowered to tow the port paddle-box boat. The en gines had then broken down. I then observed the ship was near some heavy rollers, and that land was in sight covered with snow. The anchor and cable was laid out by Mr. Herbert in three fathoms of water, on the star board quarter ; but, on returning to the ship to take in the small bower anchor, the boat got broadside on, and was swamped. The cutter and gig wore ordered to pull into the surf and save the crew. Two men were picked up, but the surf breaking over the cutter and gig, ren dered it dangerotts for the boats. They were then or dered to keep outside the surf. The rest of the crew of the paddle-box boat were drowned—the master and eight men—although the dingy was launched overboard, and everything that would float was thrown to them. The ship was then filling with water ; the engines had broken down, all the pipes and machinery being carried away, whilst the engine-room was full of water. The pumps were rigged, but could not be worked as the ship was breaking up below. I got up some bread, and secured the keys of the spirit-room and magazine, firing signal gnus of distress to a ship in the distance to call her at tention to the gig and cutter, which could not come near the ship. The captain asked me if I could suggest any thing to save the ship, but I said enough had been done, and that nothing could prevent her becoming a wreck by night. The captain then said, " I must save the crew be fore night. We have a good opportunity to cut away the mast whilst the ship has a rolling motion." By order of the captain the pinnace was lowered, and by his orders every body went before the mainmast. All the head braces were iet go, the main lower rigging cut, and the mast fell over on the starboard side. Every one was then ordered be fore the foremast, the lanyards of the fore lower rigging were cut, and the foremast fell over on the starboard side. The ship was now striking very heavily, and making a great quantity of water. Capt. Warren then gave the mission for aoy one to land on the hawser, and said the sooner they did it the better. I ordered a match to be lit, and after seeing all lights and fires out, and sentries relieved, I reported the same to the captain, and he or- (X' -7 ~' ~~~ .-?,-- - --1 in a month of 31 days. It is just three times the distance between Liverpool and New York, and this run has been already reduced in the good sea son to 13 days, and there is much and speedy im provement very confidently anticipated. Nor must it be forgotten that from Dover to Marseilles, 799 miles, is, the brief Channel-run excepted, performed by rail ; and that from Cairo to Suez, 207 miles, a rail will soon be laid down. Thus, for on e -t ent h of the dista nce b e t ween Dover and Melbourne we can rely upon the locomotive, and we kn ow w h at that will acc omp li s h. In the midst of these , Alnaschar dreams let us not, however, lose sight of the urgent necessity of the present case. Our last advices from Melbourne aro of the 14th of November. The Australian colonies have offered most munificent subsidies if the Government will set the line fairly to work. The Treasury folks talk of delay, and of references to Australia, and reports home, which would in volve upwards of a twelvemonth's delay. The point is to put a couple of first-class steamers on the station between Aden and Melbourne at once, as soon as coal is lodged. The colonists are only too eager to pay. With them postal communica- Con is a question of prosperity or embarrassment —of life or death. DINNER AT THE MA_WSION-HOUSE. Last evening the Lord Mayor entertained a nu merous and distinguished party at dinner in the Egyptian Hall, to meet the American Minister. Amongst those present were—the American Mi nister, Viscount and Viscountess Torrington, Ad miral Lord and Lady Radstoek, Lieut.-General Sir H. Jones, Viscount Chelsea, M.P., Right lion. T. M. Gibson, M.P., and Mrs. M. Gibson ; Lord J. Stewart, Sir W. Abdy, Bart., SirE. Dering, Bart., M.P., Sir W. B. Riddell, Bart., Sir T. H. Mad dock, M.P., Mr. Rice, M.P., Mr. J. Whatmau, M.P., Mr. W. Lee, M.P., Mr. C. M. Lusbington, M.P., Mr. W. Mitchell, M.P., Mr. M. Milnes, M.P., Mr. J. Pilkington, M.P., M r . J . Kershaw, - M.P., Mr. Swift, M.P. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been given and duly honoured, The LORD MAYOR gave the health of Buchanan the American Minister. That gentle. man was about to leave our shores, his successor being appointed. He should have felt it a great reflection on his mayoralty if he had been mayor for three or four months without receiving that gentleman. It was impossible to dwell too often upon the regard he had for the great republic across the water—that republic which he ought to have the greatest pride in as an offset of this coun try. A Minister of the United States would always be welcome amongst the citizens of London ; and he was sure that in leaving this country Mr. Buchanan would carry with him the best wishes of the people of this country for his prosperity in his own land ; and he (the Lord Mayor) did hope, that on his return there his Excellency would carry with him none but agreeable recollections of the kindness of the people of this country and of their good-feeling towards himself and his country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BUCHANAN, who was received with loud cheers, said—l receive with profoundly grateful feel ings this testimonial from the company present of the regard in which you hold my country, for I do not attribute it to myself. I can say iu all truth and sincerity that I shall ever preserve a grateful me mory of the kindness I have received in England. I have yet to meet the first English gentleman who has not treated me as if I had been a countryman of his own. I will say nothing of the ladies, be cause I ought not to speak of them, although they are in England the fairest part of creation. I shall carry home with me every sort of grate fel feeling towards the people of this country, amongst whom I have never felt myself a stranger. Speak ing the same language, having read the same be •ks, I having had intercourse with a kindred free people. I have always spoken my sentiments freely and respectfully iu every society where I have been, and I have always found that English gentlemen treated me kindly, and if we differed in opinion we had a fair argument, and parted in peace and friend. ship. In regard to our two countries, what a dreadful misfortune it would be to the human race if they should ever again be involved in war. How it would injure the cause of civilisa tion and human liberty, how it would delight all the despots of the earth, to find these two nations destroy themselves, and in that way destroy every hope of the progress of mankind. I hold it that there can be no political slavery where the Eng lish language is the language of the country ; and so far from there being any jealousy —or from its being proper that there should be any jealousy— in either country to the honest and fair extension of the territories of either, it should be considered a blessing to mankind that they should extend their free and liberal institutions over all the unsettled portions of the world. lam sorry to say that from the filet there has always been a group of unsettled ' questions between the two countries. There is a cloud now impending over their relations ; but I trust in God, and I believe that that cloud will be speedily dissipated, and that the sunshine cf peace and friendship will become more bright between the countries, until all dissensions which ever existed will pass away, and will only live in history as a record of the folly of two peoples who could suppose it possible that they could engage in fratri cidal war. I have again to thank you for the man ner in which you have received my health ; and I beg to assure you that I shall always look back to my residence in England as one of the brightest periods of my life. (Loud cheers.) The other toasts having been duly honoured, the proceedings then terminated. THE 2IIURDER AT lIA,sTINGS. HASTINGS, March 11.—An inquest on the body of the unfortunate gaoler of Hastings ' James Wel lard, who was murdered on M on d ay by a prisoner named John Murdock, au account of which ap. geared in our yesterday's impression, was held this day, at 3 o'clock, at the Town-hall, before Mr. Grouse, deputy-coroner for the borough. The jury viewed the body of the,deceased, which was lying in an apartment at the gaol, and the throat and face bore evident signs of strangulation, fingermarks being strongly observable. The principal witness examined was a boy named George Wright, aged 14 years, a lad who was in custody on the same charge with the murderer Murdock, and he described minutely the fact of the prisoner having seized the old man with his right arm round his neck, pressing the deceased's face with his left, until he completely overpowered him. He then ransacked the deceased's pockets for the purpose of securing the key of the gaol door, but, failing in finding it, he subsequently scaled the wall. Previously the matron had called out from an upstair window, and the prisoner then locked the stair door, and said he had a poker for her, at the same time holding a poker in his hand. Wit ness also stated that be was not onvery good terms with Murdock, because he (Wright) would not do as he told him. Murdock wished him to escape at the same time, and, as he would not do so, he swore at him. _ The matron, the daughter-in-law of the deceased, deposed to the fact that about a fortnight ago the deceased told her that a prisoner named French had warned him to be on his guard in the morn ing, but French said he would say no more. The prisoner Murdock is a powerful fellow, stand ing about 5 feet 10 inches. Since his capture he has exhibited signs of contrition, and cries bitterly at times. The same night he made the following state ment, after being duly cautioned by the inspector : I did not intend to kill the gentleman. If I had known the man was dead, I should have given myself up at 8 o'clock. I have done too much ; I am guilty, and I shall die for it—oh, dear, oh, dear ! The gentleman was a kind man, and as good as a father to me ; and I shall die for it. What you said about knowing me in 'London is right. Will you write a letter to my father, who lives at No. 8, Three Colt-street, Old Ford, Bow, near London r A verdict of w ilf u l mur d er was re t urne d aga i n st the prison er Murdock, and lie stands committed under the coroner's warrant. THE POISONING BT STRTCFINIA, AT LEEDS.—LEEDS , Tuesday.—This morning, at eleven o'clock, the accused, Mr. Win. Dove, was brought up on remand at the police-court, before the mayor and a fall bench of magistrates. The court was much crowded, in the ex pectation that the facts of the case would be gone into ; but on the accused being placed at the bar, the coroner's clerk rose, and said he had to apply to the bench for a further remand, on the ground that the inquest on the body of Mrs. Dove was still pending. Atter a short consultation among the magistrates, the prisoner was again remanded to Thursday morning.
