BLOCKADE OE RUSSIAN POETS.—SOMO anxiety prevails among the shipping interest on the question whether vessels will be allowed to clear for Russian - ports before the ratifications of the treaty of peace, or are to be sub jected to the blockade up to that time. At present the Custom-hduse will not pass them, but a large number have recently been chartered and despatched to Con%tan tinople on the condition that, if the blockade should not have ceased within a specified number of days after their arrival at that city, the contract is to be void. Some notice from the Government on the subject is daily looked for, and, meanwhile, several ships have been put on the berth for Russian ports, at .15111, London, and elsewhere. According to the last accounts from Si. Petersburg, large transactions were being entered into for the early shipment of tallow, seed, hemp, flax, &c. In the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff the stocks of wheat available up to the next harvest are thought not to exceed 1,000,000 quarters, and exports will likewise by obstructed by the necessity for reorganising all the ordinary means of transport. The Russian prohibition against the export of grain is also still in force. This is expected, however, to be immediately rescinded, and, if existing prices in England should be maintained, it is probable they will have the usual effect of demonstrating that the extent of the supplies and of the means for get ting them off have is some degree been underrated.

Witness—Yes. Mr. Lawless—Where does he resins ? Witness—ln Tipperary. Examination continued--Mr. John Sadleir took with him to London the deed appointing Mr. N. Sadleir to that receivership, and I never saw it since. I carinot re collect, whether the policies were mentioned in it or not. The first trust of that deed was the payment of the inte rest on .he shares on the Kingston estate ; the next the payment of 2,5001. a-year interest to the Albion Com pany ; the next the payment of the premiums on the Al bion insurances ; and the next the keeping up of the bank insurances. After the death of the late Mr. Joh , . Sadleir I found among his papers in London six policies of insurances connected with the King.ton estate ; they had been effected by Messrs. Parker and Walter, who were annuitants on the life estates. I have got those policies. I found also a deed transferring them from Nles,srs: Parker and Water jointly to Mr. Walter alone. There was a subsequent deed transferring them to a Mr. Eyre, in payment of 15,0001;, which I did not find. Air. LaNless—Did you find any deeds connected with the affairs of the Tipperary Bank ?

Naval and ]Military Intelligence. .We have received aatices• from the squadron off Kertch up to the 17th ult., by which we learn that on 27th of February the screw steamers Arrow, L ynx, and Snake, each mounti ng f our guns, le ft St. Pant's Straits for the Sea of Azoff, under the ccmtnand of Captain A. P. Ryder, of the Dauntless, in order to reconnoitre the Arabat Spit. Having vainly endeavoured for two days to make way through the masses of floating ice, they were compelled to return to their anchorage, where they arrived on the Ist of March, without sustaining any da : wage. A heavy gale of wind set in on the 6th ult. the Dauntless had two anchors down, with five shackles of cable out on the port bower and two on the starboard anchor, and was lying al ongs id e th e t ransport s hi p Wil liam. In consequence of her close proximity to the. transport the Dauntless was unable to veer cable; nei ther could the former do so without getting aground. While in this position (a most critical one for both ves sels) the Dauntless was observed to be drifting; both sheet anchors were let go, which fortunately brought her up, but not until she was across the cables of the trans port. Her screw propeller could not be put in motion without incurring the serious risk either of breaking it or cutting asunder the cables of the other vessel. After remaining for several hours in this precarious situation, shortly after midnight the gale partially subsided, when both vessels shifted their berths ; otherwise the conse quences might have been to both most disastrous. The Arrow screw -steamer left Keitch-on the evening of the 16th ult. under a flag of truce, with despatches relative to the armistice for the Russian-General at Kaffa. Gen. Williams, who was to be exchanged for an officer of si milar rank, made prisoner at Kitt bourn, was nominated for the command of the Turkish Contingent. On being relieved by the Leopard steam-frigate, whose arrival off Kertch was shortly expected, the Dauntless was to pro ceed to Malta, to undergo a refit,. There are now assembled .at rtsmou h, as an in , ta' mint of the British Baltic fleet, 16 ships of the line, 7 steam-frigates, 8 steam-sloops, 8 acrew despatch-vessels, and 70 screw gun-boats. The fleet at Spithead was augmented yesterday by the arrival of the James Watt, 9i, Capt. G. Eliot, C. 8., A.D.C., from Plymouth; the, 21, Capt. Sir R. M'Clure, C. 8., from the Nore ; the Hecla, 6, paddle sloop, C.onmander Aplin, from Liverpool, with two new gun-boats; the Vesuvius, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Clore ; the Victor, 6, steam gureve , sel, Commander De . Horsey; and the Magnet and Manly gun-boats, ft.iviley and Arthur, all from the eastward ; making the fleet at Portsmouth already amount to 16 sail-of-the-line, 7 steant-fri 4 ates, 8 steam-slOops, 8 steam gun-vessels, and 70 steam gun-boats—total 109. All the, gumboats which were exercised the day before were put through eimuler evolutions yesterday, and were watched by large as-emblages of interested spectators. The Centaur, 6 : paddle-frigate, Captain Clifford, C. 8., left Spithead last evening for the westward ; and the Devastation, 6, Commander Marshall, left for the Cape of Good Rope soon after. The Maeicienne, 16, paddle-frigate, Capt. Vansittart, left Spithead yesterday morning for the eastward. The Resolute steam-transport, No. 214, left Spithead yesterday morning for the Es t, with supernumerary triees and boys for the fleet, a few cavalry, and about 50 of the British Italian Legion. The Algiers, 91, Captain Cudringt - m, C. 8., got up steam yesterday at Portsmouth to try her engines, after a refit, preparatory to rejoining the fleet at Spithead. By the Peninsular and thiental Company's steam ship Sultan, which arrived at Southampton yesterday with the Peninsular mails, we receive the fo lowing items of naval and military intelligence from Gibraltar :—The steam-transport Berwick, which left the Bay on the 6,1 ult., with mules and horses for the Dardanelles, encoun tered fearful weather in the Gulf of Lyons, and was obliged to pit into the pert of Cartbagena, where she arrived on the B,h with the loss at one of the anima's. Tee ll:rwick was awaiting favourable weather to resume her voyage. The Great Western, which sailed from Southampton on the 12th ult., with horses and troops for the Crimea, arrived at Gibraltar en the 20th after ex• periencing severe weather. During the night of the 15th she encountered a severe south-south-westerly gale; which split and seriously damaged her rudder-bead. Three Of the animals on beard perished, owing to the severity of the weather.' The steam-transport Amity, eight days from London, with Government stores for Balaklava, arrived out during the- night of the 20th, having also experienced heavy weather, which carried away her main boom and stole in her cattei. Aftei coaling and caking in water she sailed for her destina tion on the 22d ult. The steam-transport Trent arrived in the Bay on the 21st, with the guns of her Majesty's floating battery Meteor on board, and the vessel in tow, on her way to England. The Trent, 'having taken in coals, sailed for her destination, taking the battery in tow, on the 23d, but was obliged to return during the afternoon of the same day. • The sailing-transport Mm den arrived at Gibraltar from Malta with shot and shell, which she wou'd discharge at Gibraltar, pre viously to sailing fur England. The Imperial, with stores for the East, arrived out on the 24th ult. The Government transport East Anglian, No. 162, arrived at Woolwich yesterday, laden with barrack stores from the Tower of Dublin. She is to ship pow der from the Arsenal. Some novel experiments took place in Woolwich marshes on Tuesday, which were attended by members of the select committee for the purpose of testing the efficiency of souse explosive shells, the invention of a Mr. Nlartin. Tne invention consists of cast-iron shells, constructed in a peculiar manner, and filled with liquid iron. Sonic specimens were fired and burst with very good effect, scattering the fragineute over a consider able space, and settnez fire to the wooden butt and other i•uildings which had been erected for the purpose of the experiment. A second invention, of a similar kind, was put through ce , tain trials at the same time. This was the property of of two Frenchmen who have arrived :it Woolwich with the special intention of sub jecting their invention to the opinion of the authorities of the War Department at Woolwich Arsenal. It c in sisted also of an iron shell filled with some fiercely burn ing materials, but which, on uedergoing several tests, turned out a complete failure as far as the present ex periments extenued. Lieutenant-Colonel Henry, R.A., loft Woolwich on Tuesday, for the purpose of proceeding to the Crimea to join his troop there. A considerable transfer of volunteers from Militia regiments to the seige train newly arrived at Woolwich has taken place. The 17 companies have each received an addition to their ranks of an average number of 60, making in the aggregate 1,020 men. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty : Lieutenant W. E. England, to the Surprise ; Jel in Habana, midshipman, to the Duke of Wellington ; H. B. S. Coble, naval cadet, to the Calcutta; A. Irwin, surgeon (confirmed); Assistant - Surgeon C nsta ii ti iie Keenan (confirmed) ; F. E. Whalley, naaeter's-aeeistatit, to the Brunswick ; Joseph 11. Manly, clerk, to the Driver ; W. E. P. Saer, assistant-clerk, to the Eur . talue. The Carlow Rifles and the depot of the 60th Regi ment, who have been for the past eight or nine months quartered in Kilkenny, have received orders to be in readiness to proceed to Clonmel immediately, there to relieve the sth Lancashire Militia, who march to Dublin. The Rifles and the 69th are in daily expectation of re ceiving the route, as th ey are to be succeeded by the de pot of the 58th Regiment. The depot of the 58th Regiment, under Brevet-Lieut.- Col. Cs prian Bridge, will immediately move from the Linen-ball Barracks, Dublin, to Kilkenny, where it will be joined by the service companies now on passage from New Zealand to Cork. It has been stated that the late Duke of Wellington was once stationed in Kilkenny with this regiment, in which he was appointed Captain the 3Ath of June, 1791, and from which he was transferred the 31st Oct., 1792, to the late 18th Light Dragoons. DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL SIR WILLIAM SYMONDS, K.C.B. We regret to hear that Rear-Admiral Sir William Symonds, who will be remembered all over the world as the late Surveyor of the Navy, and the predecessor of the present gallant, able, and distinguished occupant of the office, Capt. Sir 13. W. Walker, K.C.8., died on his passage from Malta to this country. The following sketch of the gallant deceased's services is from O'Byrne'a " Biography:"— "This otlicer (whose name had been borne, from 1785 until 1788, en the books of the Solebay and Charon, both commanded by his father, Capt. Thomas Symonds) em barked, Sept. 27, 179 1 , as midshipman, on board the Lou- don, 98, Capts. Lawrence Wm. Halsted, Edwd. Griffith, And John Child Eurvis; in which ship, bearing the itsg of the late Sir MUI COMP, he NI itmeeed the Faptue, out LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 3 1856. AUSTRALIA. By .way of 13atavia, .where the barque Cossack had arrived from Victoria, some copies of the Melbourne Argus have been received to the 7th January. The mining and commercial news from Melbourne were, on 'the whole, satisfactory. Trade was dull, as usual at this season of the year, and very few of the diggers had quitted the mining districts for Melbourne, as customary at Christmas. Nows from Baliarat states that Mining operations were some what slack, and the miners were enjoying the fes tivities of the season. Disturbances between the miners and Chinese were still of frequent occur rence, the. Europeans being the principal aggressors. Great preparations were made at the diggings for new_year's rejoicings, which were interrupted by news of the death of Sir Charles Hotham, and the rejoicings were everywhere postponed. At Melbourne- gold remained quiet at 31.13 x. per ounce. On January 5, H.M.S. Fantome sailed for England via Sydney. ThOprice of wool had a downward 'tendency;' 17id. was realised ou one large flock, which, at the beginning of December, would., have commanded a penny more. Tallow, . good mixed, was sold at auction at 391. ss. ; very superior mution,tallow at 421. • A large parcel of hides was sold on January 6, at 13s. 6d. Agricul tural labourers were in great demand, as also female . servants for the diggings. The Red Jacket was to leave Melbourne for. En gland on January 8. The death of Sir Chas. Rotham, Goer- nor of Victoria,' took place suddenly .at Melbourne on the 31st December. The remains of his Excel lency were interred on January 4, marked by the most public mare, all the shops being closed out of respect for the departed governor. The temporary government of Victoria is in the hands of General Macarthur, commanding the mi litary. Accounts from Sydney have been received to the 6th Jan. The news is of minor interest. Mr. Mil ford has, been appointed lour: - ,h judge of the Su preme Court,. mid is succeeded by Mr. Carey as Master in . Equity, Mr. Purefroy be com i ng Chi e f Commissioner of. Insolvent Estates, and the Direc tor of Intestate Estates. Sir Alfred Stephens, the Chief Justice was about to proceed on a visit to Melbourne. Mr. Merewether, the Colonial Trea surer, had proceeded to Van Diemen's Land for the benefit of his health. The news of the fall of Sebastopol had been celebrated in grand style. Sir Wm. Denison is journeying westward, and will probably go to the sonthern diggings before return ing to Sydney. THE LOSS OF THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER SOllO 518 ERG. The loss of the royal mail ship Schumberg within about 30 miles of Port Philip Heads, on her out ward passage, has caused the utmost excitement in the colony, and the peculiar and aggravating cir cumstances connected with the disaster have been notified by the passengers in an "indignation " meeting held at Melbourne. • From the Argus of Jan. 7it appears that the mat ter. was to be taken up by Government. The emi gration agent was about to lay information at the instancaof the passengers. The wreck of theSchom berg has been visited by Lloyd'e agent; she was not totally broken up, but there wa, no opportunity of conariatinica:ing with the wreck—it was not ex pected that anything would be saved. On the 3d Jan. the passengers by the Schoenberg convened a public meeting at the Mechanics' insti ttition, Mr. G. Hawker in the chair, who explained that the, object of the meeting was to, investigate the cause of the wreck, and to reclaim the baggage of the passengers. The gross immoralities com mitted on hoard , and the utter carelessness of Cap tain Forbes and his officers, may be gathered from the statements of the passenger s and the resolu tions carried at the meeting, as given in the Argus of the 4th January. Mr. Melville proposed the first resolution. He said he was one of the unfortunate passengers by the Schom berg. He had been requested to atte,,d, and he had ac cordingly done so, and begged to propose the first reso lution, which was as follows :—" Resolved—That the conduct of the captain, the surgeon, and officers of the Schomberg was u n ge n tl eman ly, di scour t eous , and tyran nical, and grossly immoral." He might say, in refer ence to the ungentlemanly, d'ecourteous, and tyrannical conduct of the captain, that Vlore could be no doubt of it ; but he must add that there were some exceptions amongst the officers—although he thought it would be better not then to specify them. He hal suffered con siderably from the conduct of the captain, for when be started he had 2,0001. in his pocket, and he had then only 5001., and had it not been that he carried the latter sum about his person, he should, beyond all doubt, have landed in Melbourne a beggai. Mr., Norris cordially agreed with the resolution. The conduct of the officers was bat, and he understood that a pro Per iavestigation would at once be instituted. (Hear.) lie hoped that it would be so. Mr. Fern said that after the resolution which ha I been proposed he did expect that some ioformation would be given —that some specific charge would have been made to substantiate the sweeping assertions it contained. He must say that it was un- Englisk and unfair t wake such charges without bringing forward something to support them. A- far as they bad gone, not one word of the resolution was proved. He stood there not as a friend of Captain Forbes, but as a friend of fair play, and it would, in his opinion, be a disgrace to the meet ing and its chairman to pass this resolution unless better grounds for it were shown. Mr. Melville shou'd have cited some instants of the tyranny or immorality of Captain Forbes to,supp)rt a resolution of this nature, and until some such case were brought forward he for one should hold up his hand against the resolution. Mr. Gotkin would give one instance of the tyranny and discourteousness of the captain, and, that was to wards Air. Melville. The captain entered Mr. Molvil!e's caloiris,haonrdtotf provisions—in la t ter gentleman fact ma a nc 2 omplained that he was kept tie provision s were of nitha half fit for starved, amid adg. that To a quality this the 'captain replied that they were a set of 'dirty dogs, and what they had was good enough. (Hisses ) Mr. Greeve, jun., said that the partition separating the first and second intermediate classes had been re moved in spite of the petition to the contrary of the se cond class passengers, who, in consequence of its re moval, suffered considerable annoyance. Mr. Carpenter said that, as another instance of the tyranny of the captain, he might state that he had taken two unfortunate Irishmen out of their berths in the night, and confined them in the wheel-house until four or five o'clock in the morning. He called them, at the same time, " a -- Irish crew and set of rebels," and said that tie would be dawn on them." Mr. Stark said that another instance of tyranny on the part of the captain was when one of the passengers b b e ro in u g gh sh t o f r o t rw in ar w d ei s g o h m t e The provisions to compl a i n o f their captain, instead of hearing him, only told him to go forward to his cabin. The passenger remonstrated, and the captain shoved him violently forward, and said, " Go down to your cabin, or I will kick you down." Was that tyrannical conduct or not 1 (Hear.) Mr. Stockdale said that he, too, could add something to support the resolution. That the conduCt of the cap tain and his officers had been immoral no one on board of the ship had the slightest doubt. There were two "lady" passengers on board in the second cabin, one of them belonging to his (Kr. Stookdale's) mess, No. 8. These females were kept out of their cabins by the cap tain and his officers until very unseasonable hours. The first occasion on which any dispute arose on the matter was when one of these ladies was kept in the captain's cabin until 1 o'clock iu the morning. The second lady preferred the daylight, for she carne back at 4 in the morning, and then only in her night dress. (" Oh 1" and "Shame.") The door of her cabin, however, was shut against her, and she did not obtain entrance until an ex posure of her conduct had been made. If this was the conduct of those having under their charge the lives of hundreds of passengers, he would ask any one present if it was decent or proper, or whether, if they had a fe male, or even a male relative, coming out to the colonies, they would allow them to come on board a ship with which Captain Forbes had anything to do ? The mess to which he belonged, No. 8, passed a resolution request ing the lady he had referred to to withdraw, as there were other ladies in it, and the result was that the next morning the captain came down, in a bullying manner, blackguarding them, and threatening them with irons ; and when they attempted to justify'their conduct, he re plied that he would not believe the word of any man at the table. (shame.) Mr. Gotkin spoke to him in very moderate terms, and was told that if he said anather word he should be pat in irons instanter. H e was in• formed in reply that if he dared to carry out such a threat he would on his arrival find-the colony too hot to hold him. Their provisions were not of the quality, nor in the quantities, they were led to expect, nor ha 1 their contracts been fulfilled. They were aware that by the act of Parliament they were allowed three quarts of fresh water per diem, over and above that required for cook which they was got same bad at filters. Further on in the passagelhe allowance o f sugat log. During the first part of the voyage they h a d never received more than two quarts, and latterly n o t more than a Tian and a half, hardly more than eno ug h to becamewash with. first, The bet t better, a q ualitynd soon o t n h e afterwards water, was stopped for nearly a week, and when they remou strated, instead of sugar they got molasses, although not a word about molasses was said in the dietary scale. They refnsed the molasses, and were then put on half rations of moist sugar, of a quality that he felt assured 'lnoue in that room would use. It was apparently thr sweepings of loaf and moist sugar, and was more dirt than anything else. A number of the passengers went to the purser and asked him to change it. He said that he could not do it, that the sugar had been given out by order of the captain. He (Mr. Stockdale) said tkkt WM met =gentlemanly to offer theta puck sum as that. The purser said, " Do you call that bad sugar?" I . The answer was " Yes ;" and he replied, " I'll be -- if I change it for you or anybody else," The manner in which their meals were served up to them was mo re fitting for a parcel of pigs.than for human heings. Their table requisites were reduced by breakage until at length they were c mapelled to eat soup, pudding, and meat off the same plate, and to drink tea out of tine and tum blers. They had been obliged to eat their pudding off their plate bottom upwards —(laughter)—and the tables were seldom washed, and were so dirty that, disgusted with their appearance, he had frequently set to and washed them himself. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. Carpenter moved, as an ameniment to the resolu tion, the insertion of the worth, " some of the officers." Mr. Melville seconded the amendment. Mr Belson said that it was a notorious fact that the captain of the Schomberg kept a woman in the second cabin, and the same thing with the doctor. It wail every day, all day, and all night. When he went to the doctor for some medicine he saw this female sitting in bis cabin. A Passenger—l have seen her in the bed. It was on St. Stephen's Day. Mr. Kelsen—When the steamer came to their rescue, none of the passengers were allowed to take any luggage with them. It was with great difficulty that be took his writing-desk. The captain, however, came on board with one of these women in a small boat, and they had a lot of boxes, containing nearly all,.if not the whole, of her luggage; Mr. Charles said that Miss had a similar indul gence allowed to her. She was the doctor's lady. Her luggage Wiis'taken away with the mail bags. - The question was thee put from the chair, and the amendment declaied to kro carried. - Mr. Gotkin moved" ' the second resolution :—" Re solved, That it is not only the general impression of the passengers by the St-homberg, but to the certain know ledge of many of those here assembled, that the loss of that fine ship can only be attributed to the gross negli gence of the captain." The vessel at the commence ment of the voyage had borne very rough weather, and had behaved well. When the intelligence was brought to the captain that the vessel was nearing the shores why did he not come up ? No, be indulged too much in his own pleatures to care for the safety of his passenger.. He did not wish to say much against the captain, how ever, for they had been at variance on board the ship, but he felt that the public at urge should be satisfied. When the captain was made aware of the dangerous posi tion of the ship he did certainly come up, and told the crew to put the ship in stays. His orders were obeyed, and one of the officers told him soon afterwards of the vessel, and he replied, " Let her go to h-1, and tell me when she is on the beach." If such were the words he used, was it not deign rather than negligence which cast her ashore ? It might be asked why was he at variance with the captain. It was because he (Mr. Gotkin) would not sanction his immoral conduct. He had, however, done much to screen him. When the cabin-door was locked, and the woman came down at half-past four in the morning, he had endeavoured to break the lock of the door for her, but failed in the at tempt. (great laughter.) He had been abused by the person wno had locked the door, and he stated to the captain what had happened, and he seemed satisfied with the way in which he acted. When the captain was informed by the third officer thee, the ship was approach ing the shore, land had been seen at least an hour, if not more. The captain, who was in his cabin, however, told him to get out of that, and not be bothering him. Mr. Stockdale fully coincided with the resolution. He was of opinion that the conduct of the captain from the outset had been reckless in the extreme. The first time he bad cause to find fault with him was when they sighted an iceberg in the Southern Ocean, when the cap tain ran the vessel so close that in Isis (11r. Stockdale's) opinion the keel must have gone over a portion of it. Oa another uccaydon, on meeting with anather vessel, be, without any specific purpose, ran so close that be carried away the signal haul yards. (" Oh," and "Shame.") lie afterwards made a joke of it. Previous to the ves sel stranding he felt greatly alarmed, for the general im pression amongst the passengers was that they were in some danger, and even tne doctor hiwselt admitted that it was land they saw. Attempts were made to awaken the watch ; and he saw the trees even, and informed the captain of it, when he came ou the forecastle with his night glass in his hand. It was more than ten minutes after tuat that any preparation was made to "'bout ship," and the vessel, when she did strike, wept on the reef in such a wanner that it would be almost impossible to get her off again. Mr. Johnson, a mariner, said that if the anchor bad been ready to drop when the vessed missed stays she might have been saved. The chain cable had been got up tour or five days before they made the laud, but it was never beat, nor was the anchor raised. The ship might easily have been saved after she missed stays if the anchor had been let go. - - • - Mr. Williams said that when the vessel struck be was on the forecastle. He bad been there from 10 o'clock, and many of the p sseengers had seen land a-head. He told a man name Cavanagh to awaken the watch, who were asleep. Cavanagh (who was a passenger to Syd ney) roared out that there was land a-head, and the first mate, who heard him, said it was only a cloud. He called out a second time, and they then stopped him. He was sr convinced that the ship would strike, that he ran down to some friends of his in the second cabin, and told them to put on their clothes. He said that it was not his intention to go to bed, and he advised them not to do so either. He said that, in his Opinion, the ship would be wilfully run against the beach. This impres sion arose front his want of confidence in the captain, and from his proceedings ou the previous evening. Suoh was his impression then, and so it remained. The captain had once t treetened to put him in irons because he looked at him ; he had no other ex• cuse for doing so. He did look at him, and was not afraid to look at him now, nor was he afraid to state before him every word he bad just uttered. He was nut a ❑autical man, and knew nothing of navigation, but he stated his own impressions freely, and was ready at any time to assert them, and prove them, if that was of any use. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put, anti carried unanimously. Mr. Carpenter moved the third resolution —" Teat this meeting is of opinion that the contracts entered into between James B c net and Co., of Liverpool, and the passengers by the Schonberg, hare not been fulfilled." As to the provisions they bad received they were not fit for use. Tne preserved potatoes were tolerable, but even they were such as any man on shore would repu. diate. As to the pork— A Voice—They killed the pigs after they died. (Great laughter.) Mr. Carpenter—The salt pork was brought to table in such a state as to be quite disgusting, and even the cap tain's special favourites in the e cond cabin could not tuuch it. Mr. Cmolly seconded the resolution. Mr. Charles said that they were led to believe that they were to have a bath room, but how had that pro mise been kept ? The bath-room was turned into a dun- geon for a tua.iman. (A. Voice—" What made bins mad ?") He verily believed that he was made mad by the cruel conduct of the captain and his officers. Mr. Wharton said that he agreed with the resolution, for they had a great cause to complain. Neither the proper quantity or quality of previsions had been served out to them. For instance, the, had four ducks and four knuckles of ham to mess a number of the passengers, and frequently the provisions were in such a condition that several of the passengers left the saloon and went without dinner, which, however, he could not afford to do. They often had soup that sank, and meat that was tainted. After the strong induce men t s w hi c h the Black Ball line ha I hell out to theta, and the way in which they had been fulfilled, he felt that irithing too severe could be said against them. As to the provisions, the water supplied was scarcely drinkable ; the Hock and Moselle ran out, except a couple of dozen, which the cap tain retained for his own 1160 ; and the sherry was so bad that they had once or twice to send it back. As to the meat, it was always "pork, pork; pork." They had, in short, an infamous steward, and a blackguard cook— two very great evils o❑ board a vessel. (Laughter.) Mr. Kelson would add to what Mr. Wharton bad said that during the latter part of the 'voyage they had been fed on pork, although plenty of poultry remained. He would also remark that the chief steward on board the Schoenberg was a man who had bee❑ disgraced and dis missed from the James Batne4. The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. Stockdale moved t'ie fourth resolution—'° That a deputation be app-inted to wait on his Excellency the officer administering the Government, praying that an investigation be held into the clreuinstances attending the loss of the Schoenberg, and the property of the pas sengers." Mr. Kelson seconded this resolution, which was car ried unanimously. Mr. Miller moved—" That a vote of thanks be given to Capt. Doran, of the steam-ship the Queen, for his ready exertions to rescue the passengers ; and also to the passengers on board for their readiness to submit to inconvenience, to enable the passengers of the Schoen berg to be forwarded to Melbourne."

A brief notice has been given of the proceedings in reference to this unfortunate bank which took place on Monday in the office of the Master in Chancery. As some new disclosures, bearing upon the;gigantic" system of fraud carried on by John Sadletr, were elicited in the course of tlie Investi gation, a further report is subjoined of the impor tant evidence given by Messrs. Kennedy and Mor rough, solicitors, of Great Denmark-street : Mr. James B. Kennedy was sworn and examined by Mr. Lawless—Have you in your possession securities, notes, or bonds of any kind, the property of the Tippe rary Bank ?---Yes, I have. Indepen lent of those securities, do you know of others of similar classes?—Yes, I do. I mean securities that were vested in the Tipperary. Bank, and which are not in your possession ?—Vested either in the Tipperary Bank or in trust for it. To Mr. Lawless—l have lodged two partnership deeds of the bank, one being a very old one, which I believe was superseded by the other, a subsequent one ; any of the securities we have in our . p ,ssession we are prepared to ledge in court as a matter of cairse. Master•—Of course, without prejudice to your lien. Mr. Lawless—Could you mention any of the securi ties that are in your possession ? Witne-s—There is a mortgage, I think, of the Glen gall estate, for 12,0001., which, I believe, was the money of the bank. It was made about April, 1847, to Mr. Antony Norris, of London, as trustee for the bank. He has denied to me, by his letters of a very recent date, that he held that moitgage as trustee. Are you able to give a list of the properties pur chas .d by the late Mr. Fa Heir in the Encumbered Es tates Court ?—Yes, I can give you it. Are you able to state how he disposed of them ?—I am. He sold the greater portion of them, and he also assigned a portion to the Landon and County Bank. Mr. Lawless—We shall require all the particulars of these properties. To your knowledge, did Mr. Sadleir ever make, or agree to make, any assignment of those properties in favour of the Tipperary Bank ? Witness—He did. As well as I remember, the date was March, '65. I was not present at it, but Mr. Keatinge came over to Ireland with a letter from Mr. Sadleir, which I saw. I have not got that letter; Mr. Keatinge, I presume, has it. Master—Were any of the purchases made with a view of gi yin; any security to the Tipperary B tiik ? Witness—They were not made fur that purpose, to my knowledge. Mr. Lawless—Are you acquainted with the personal property of Mr. Sadleir ?—No, not intimately ; I heard he p , ssessed a great many shares in the Sw.s , , Swedish, and R 'lvan railways, and matters of that kind. Master—Will you be able to let us know the arrears of rent due fur those properties up to the time of his death ? Witness—Yes, certainly ; but it will take some time. We can give you the particulars of all the estates that he purchased in Ireland up to the day previous to his death ; there were twenty assignments of them to the London and County Bank. Idon't think we have copies of those assignments; I knew nothing about it until the deeds were sent to be registered. Some of them were not registered at first on account of the stamps not being sufficient for the practice in this country, and besides there was no consideration money stated. Registry being refused here they were taken back to London. They were returned with some form of certificate from Somerset House, and then they were registered. Master—Was there not a mortgage of some part of the Kingston property, of plate, furniture, and other matters in Lord Kingston's house Witness—Yes, there was ; I cannot tell from memory when it was executed ; I don't know where the original is. Mr. Ke.insdy (to Mr. Lawless)—l think there were three purchases of property in the Encurnoered Estates C end made by Mr. James Sadleir. Two of these were iu his own name, an i one was in the naine of a third party ; the first was the house quarter of Coolna.uauck, about August, 1852, far 8,500/. ' - that was made by hi mse lf and is his o wn name , and the purchase deed was exe cuted. He has since been in possession of it. I could not state the rental. The greater part of that property is in his own hands. He has a ste4vard named Rafferty. The next of these properties that he purchased was a small portion of White's estate. I don't know the name of the lands in the county of Tipperary. The sale was made "In re Matilda White." The purchase money was 8001. He is now in possession of this property, the conveyance of which was exceeded to himself. The otter property is called Kllconnell, near Cashel, and'the purchase money was 5.300/. The conveyance was exe cuted to a Mr. Farinery J. L'sw, of London. I do not know how it happened that the conveyance was exe cuted to Mr. LAw. Mr. Lawless.—Have you the means of ascertaining from what source Mr. James Sadleir procured the par• chase money of those three estates ? Witness.-4 have not the slightest idea. Examination continued.—At present it would be bard to tell the rental of the Kilconnell estate ; I think it is over 800/. a•year, sul.ject to a sort of rent-charge of 1841. We have a rental of it ; I think we have printed rentals of the other two estates, and we can furtain all. In the las'. petitioned property the tenancies have been charged since the sale. Mr. James Sadleir has been in the re ceipt of Vie rents of the Kilconnell estate. Mr. Law never went into possession of it.. Master.--Do y ou k now if -M r . Sadleir has any one in charge of the unoccupied portiAn of it ? Witness.—Mr. Byrne, of Blackrook, is the agent over it, and he has a steward there. I appointed Mr. Byrne agent on the part of Mr. James Sadleir. Mr. Law's name was usel in the appointment of the agent, but practically and beneficially be was appointed for Mr. James Sadletr. Mr. Lawless.—lt was not Mr. Law who paid the purchase money. Witmei4.—N.), the money was Mr. Saileir's. Maiter.—When you were asked whether Mr. Law was aware of the matter or not, you said emphatically, "He 18 nor." WI less—l did not at the moment remember that I had rect iced a letter from him in connection wih the estate previous to the taking out of the conveyance. I believe that when the estate was purchased he did not know it was in his name. Within the last fortnight an assignment of the property to Mr. James Sadleir has been prepared and sent over to Mr. Law for his signa ture. I understand Mr. Jag. Sadleir has another estate in Tipperary, called Ballynalode, which he had previous to his marriave. I believe it is settled. According to the English practice, whare property is settled there is one deed fur the la.ly and another for the gentleman, and I have a counterpart of Mr. Sadleir's deed. I believe be got 10,0001. with Mrs. Sadleir. It was ve,t , sd in trus tees. I don't remember the terms of the settlement. Master—As far as I could understand the settlement, it gives her a life use Nith remainder to Mr. Sadleir in case he shall survive her, and in default of survivor.ship, and in the event of there being ne chiliren, the property goes back to Mrs. Sadleir's relttives, and his own pro. perty is disposed of in a similar manner. Mr. Lawless—There is personal property, consisting of furniture, &c., comprised in some of the deeds. Is it still at Mitcbelstosu ? Witness —lt is. Mr. I.lleldLn—With the exception of some at a silver. smith's in London. Dir. Lawless—Has any portion of that been disposed of by the mortgagees? Mr. Meldon—lt was removed by Lord Kingston pri vately, and afterwards was stopped by an injuuction at the suit of Lord Lorton. Mr. Morrogh was then sworn and examined by Mr. Lawless as follows : —The date of the inort4age of Lord Giengall's property is April, 1847 ; it was mane by Lord Glengal! to Mr. A. Norris, the amount being 10,5001. ; there ara no trusts declared on the face of the deed. Mr. Lawless- Was it intended as a trust for any per sons or any company 1 Witness—l have no means of stating, but my general impression is that the money was the property of the Tipperary Bank. There has not been any payment of interest on that mortgage since, but the ultimate pay ment of the amount is secure, fur the charges on the fee have been met by the sale of a sufficient portion of the lands in the Encumbered Estates Court. Master—Had Mr. Norris any other securities of Lord Gleugall ? Witness—He had, I think, previous to the date of the mortgage, but they were all merged in it. Mr. Lawless—Do you know what they were ? Witness—They were for money lent to Lord Glen gall, and to his agent for him, from time to time, for years before the mortgage. Was that money lent by Mr. Norris or by the bank ? —lt was the Tipperary Bank that supplied the money. Was Mr. Norris aware of that I—He was aware it was supplied by John Sadleir, or by the Tipperary Bank ; the pleadings in the suit of " Norris v. Lord Glengall " would disclose the extent of Mr. Norris's knowledge of the circumstances. Was any account open in the books of the bank in re lation to the Glengall estate ?—There has been. Was it on draughts on that account that the money was advanced to Lord Glengall ?—NO ; that account was not opened f o r some ti me subsequent to the execu tion of the securities. The pleadings in Norris and Glengall state the fact that the security is claimed by Mr. Norris as trustee ? A cross bill was filed in 1847 by Li rd Glengall, to im peach the transaction, on the ground of his having been overcharged some interest, and he subsequently signed a consent dismissing his bill with costs, and then executed the security. Was there any answer by Mr. Norris to that cross suit ?—Yes. In connection with the securities held by the Tipper. ary Bank affecting Lord Kingston's estate there is a certain number of policies of insurance. Do y ou k now in whose possession they are ? e n g h s t y r y t the e l a k t e ef M s e r Witness—ln 1849 as athpepyeawrserbey a r taken Sadieir to London, • curities kept in our office ; and in March, 1854, he wrote to state that they were lost, and to inquire as to getting duplicates of them. I will furnish a list of those policies. Master—ge nadentand sou, the meeey wai for* _ _ _ ~_ illy ~ -- - April, 1795, of the French corvette Le Jean Bart, and4o seen frigates La Gloire and La Gentile ; took part, June 23 following, in Lord Bridport's aistion sin& the French fleet off Ile de Groix, and was present, in nril, V 97 in the mutiny at Spithead. He served subsequently off the port of Cadiz; and in the couse of the year la , t mentioned and of 1799 cud 1:.00 he joined the Cerfaerus, 32, Capts. John Drew and Jas. Macnamara, Cambrian, 40, Capt. Hon. Arthur Kaye Legge, and Endymion, 40, Capt. Philip Chas. Durham. In those ships he cruized with great activity on tbo western and Iris!' stations, in the Chan ' e'. and Bay of Biscay, and on the coast of Spain. In the Cerberns he ecntributed to the capture, among other ves sels, cf L'Epervier, of 16 guns and 141 men, and Le Renard, of 18 guns and 189 men ; and on Oct. 20, 1793, he participated in a very gallant action fought near Cape Ortegal between that ship and Live Spanish frigates, one of whom was completely beaten. The enemy on this occasion had a merchant fleet of 80 sail under their convoy, pro tected also by two brig-corvettes. 'ln the Cambrian Mr. Symonds accompsnied the expoditiou sent under Sir E. Pellew and Maj. r-General Mait!a id to co-operate with the French Royalists and Chouans in Quiberon Bay and the Morbil an. Attaining. the rank of lieu+ enant Oct. 14, la? 01, be was appoibted in that capacity-June 21, 1802, to the Belleisle, 74, ecployed in the blockade of Toulon and in chasing the French fleet-March 13, 1834, to the Royal Sovei. igu, 100, stationed in the Mediterranean, under the flag of Sir R. Bickerton, and for some time off Corwilia ;-ept. 9, I'os, to the Inconstant, 36, Capt. E. S. Dickson, ing at Portsmouth -Jan. 13, 18 ,6, as senior to the Szor ph 18, Captains Philip Carteret and Fras. Stanfell- March 9, 1808, to the command of the Violet, lugger, on the Guernsey station-Nov. 22 following, again as senior to the Brilliant, 23, Capt. Thos. Smith, on the coast of Brazil, whence he returned to England and was paid off in Oct., 1. 4 09- April 1, 1811, to the San Domino, 74, flag ship of Sir R. Strachan, off Flushing-Nov. 2 in the same year, to the Pique, 36, Capt. Hon. A. Maitland, under whom ho served as first lieutenant in the Channel, off Lisbon, and iu the West Indies, until Jan. 1816, and as sisted in making several captures-and Jan. 1, 1855, is the capacity last mentioned, to the Royal George, y(cht, Captains Hon. Thos. Bladen Capel and Sir Michael Sey mour. In the summer of Iso6, Mr. Symonds, then in the Scorpion, was actively engaged iu the West Indies in watching the movements of the celebrated French squa dron, under Rear-Admiral Willautnez, in which Jerome Bonaparte had embarked. He aided in the same vessel at the destruction of several forts on the Spanish main ; and was in her at the capture, near Scilly, of several famous privateers, includina. La Favorite, of 14 guns and 70 men, Le Bourgainville, of guns and 93 men (taken after a lung chase and a running fight of 45 minutes), La Glaneuse, of 16 guns and 80 men, and Le Gleneur, of 10 guns aid 60 men. From 1819 until appointed, as above, to the it•yal George, Lieutenant Symonds filled the situation of magis trate and inteudent of the police, and captain of the ports, at Malta ; and on Oct. 4, 1825, he was promoted to the rink of commander. About this period he was allowed, n o'er, we are told, a very unusual and restrictive pen,lty, to construct a corvette, the Cowin Woe. To her he was appoint. (1 Dec. 4, 1826 ; and so great was the success which attended him in the different experimental cruiaes he made during the twit twelve months, that he was advanced, as a reward, to post-rank by a commi , ,.iiin bearing date Dec. 5, 1827. At the commencement of 1831 Captain Symonds was enabled, through the munificence ..f the Duke of Portlan 1, to build, as an improvement upon the Columbine, the 10- gun brig Pantaloon; the triumph of which vessel led to the construction, under his superintendence, cf the Vernon, 50; Vestal, 25 ; Snake, 16, and others. On June 9, 1812, he was offered and accepted the appointment of Surveyor of the Navy, which he continued to fill until 1817. It is here worthy of remark that out of 180 vessels of different kinds built during that period (all of them upon the principle of the Pantaloon) nut one has yet foundered. In June, 1836, Captain Symonds received a very flattering letter from Mr. Tufuell, private secretary to the Earl of Minto, then First Lord of the Admiralty, enclosing an extract from one addressed to his lordship by Sir Herbert Taylor, of which the following is a copy :-'His Majesty has ordered me to state to your lordship that, considering the situation wl-ich Captain Symonds holds, the able manner in which he fills it, and the necessity of upholding him in it, his Majesty conceives your lordship will concur with him in the propriety of conferring upon him the honour o f knight hood, which was g i ven t o his predecessor; and his Majesty wishes you would d es i re hi m t o attend his levee on Wed nesday next for the purpose of receiving it.' On 15th of the same month Captain Symonds was accordingly invested with this mark of Royal favour. We may add that he received the thanks of the Admiralty in July, 1830, for a `Memoir containing Sailing Directions for the Adriatic Sea;' and again, in October, 18'47, for `the valuable qua lities of his several ships, and for improvements introduced by him into the navy.' He was elected a F.R.S., June 4, 1835, and nominated a C.B. on the civil list May 1, 1848." THE MILITIA.
