AMERICA. OCIETYfor the RELIEF orDISTRESS.I—This Society derives its origin from the following ca use : That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and the numerous existing charitable associations, human beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty, luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metrop oils, die miserably of hunger and the want of the commoia neces saries of life. To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of tra evil so disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existin g local unstitutions which have this object in view. To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases as legitimately telong to them alone, to aid the police and the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing .charitable associations those cases for which their several institutions were established. Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by tl 4r , clergy—ministers of all denominations, medical profess: 4 oy, , or agents of any existing S o ci e ty, w ill be r elieved as f ar as possible by the judiciewi application of funds entrust& to district committees and local responsible persons split)! Wed "by them for the purpose. No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise i .t the central office. The promoterr, of this movement now come forwa rd, not in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, , on the contrary, wit.7n the strong desire to co-operat e with ad assist them in tb' e arduous task in which they, with sin i'a praise worthy teal and perseverance, have been so ma ny years laboriously engaged. They now claim to be met in the spirit in Sc lich they advance, with the sole purpose of furthering-, by friendly intercourse, the great Christian object which a' Al charitable associations hP.eve in view. The following noblemen and gentlemer A hav,ing combined Flo form a Guarantee Committee, by Wiitom the entire tx- Tenses of management are to bedefr:a - yed, tho Society now call upon th e p u bli c t o en tr us t it w i th the requisite funds which shall bo applied, without ti - Ao smallest deduct ion, to the relief of genuine distress.

Wessels, has arrived off Cowes from New York, and gone on to Bremen. She left on the 19th inst., and consequently brings three days' later advices than thoie. previously to hand. The Bremen brings 21,151 dols. in specie for England, and 2,000 dole. for Bremen, and 84 passengers in all. Washington despatches of the 17th state that Lieut. Hall, the messenger despatched by Major Anderson for instructions from headquarters, had started on his return to Fort Sumter. The exact nature of the instructions which he carried with him were, of course, not known, but it was ascer tained with sufficient certainty that the Govern ment had no intention of• withdrawing the troops from the position which they occupied, and that Major:Anderson was instructed peremptorily to de fend himself to the best of his ability if attacked. Col. Hayne, the messenger from Governor Pickens, who left Charleston at the same time with Lieut. Hall, still remained at Washington, and it was un derstood that he had considerably modified his views relative to his duties duringhis sojourn there. He had, it is stated, telegraphed to Governor Pickens this fact, and had asked for further in structions. Meantime k „ however, he had called upon President Buchattln, and presented verbally the ultimatum of South Carolina, which was under stood to insist upon the withdrawal of the troops from Fort Sumter. The President requested Mr. Hayne to put his communication in writing, when it would be considered—which was all the satis faction he gave him. It was rumoured in Washing ton that the Cabinet had determined unanimously to receive hereafter no communications whatever from any one claiming to be a commissioner from South Carolina. Congress on the 16th was absorbed in the con sideration of the disunion question, to the exclu sion of all regular business. In the Senate a message was received from the President explain ing the appointment of Mr. Holt to perform The duties of Secretary of War ad interim. Mr. Rice, of Minnesota, presented a resolution, which was laid over, providing for the appointment of a Special Committee of seven to inquire as to the pro. priety of passing a general Act for the admission of new States, and readjusting the boundaries of California, Minnesota, and Oregon. Mr. Critten den's resolutions were then taken up, and on the motion of Mr. Bigler the Senate voted 27 to 26 to postpone the consideration of all other business until they were disposed of. Mr. Powell's amend ment, extending the provisions relative to the terri tories to all territory that " may hereafter be acquired," was adopted by 29 to 24. Speeches were made by Messrs. Simmons and Anthony, of Rhode Island, the Union sentiments of which were earnestly applauded in the galleries. A vote was taken on a motion to postpone consideration of the resolutions, and take up and fix a day for the con sideration of the Kansas Bill, and it failed by a vote of 25 for and 30 against it. The Senate also refused to amend by striking out the preamble and resolutions-21 to 20, Messrs. Benjamin, Slidell, and Wigfall not voting. A motion to lay the resolutions on the table was then carried, and the Senate adjourned pending a motion to' reconsider, after a short Executive Session. In the House the general debate on the condition of the country was continued. Mr. Cox of Ohio, presented a series of resolutions, passed by the Legislature of that State, expressing attachment to the Union and declaring against the right of secession. After considerable discussion they were laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Messrs. Garnett, of Virginia, Gurley, of Ohio, Maynard, of Tennessee, Holman of Indiana, and-Morrie, of Illinois, addressed the House on the great question at issue before the country. The Georgia State Convention assembled at Mil ledgeville on the 16th, and organized by the elec tion of George W. Crawford as President and A. R. Lamar as Secretary. No other business was done. The commissioners from South Carolina and Alabama were invited to make addresses, and the Convention adjourned. The following despatch is from Albany, dated the 18th : 'The long-anticipated report of the Assembly Committee on Federal Relations came in this morning. Mr. Robinson, in presenting the report, stated that the committee had been pushed for time, and had, therefore, not as precisely determined as they could have wished. As it was, the en tire committee agreed in the spirit of the report, but with out being pledged to its views or oven committed to its con clusions. The resolutions were not the views of even a majority of the committee—hence they were submitted for the consideration of the House. " The report, after rehearsing the condition of the coun try, denies the right of secession, and demands that the National Government recapture the public property stolen by the rebels of the seceding States. It admonishes the Legislal ure of the necessity for a prompt preparation for the emergency that may demand the resources of the State to defend its integrity as a member of the Confederacy. " Having laid down their premises, the report thaws thence the conclusions embodied in the following resolu tions : " ' Resolved (if the Senate concur)—That the State of New Yoik has witnessed, with deep regret and earnest re probation, the attempt of some of the slaveholding States to overthrow•the national Constitution and laws, and to dis solve the Union, which has conferred inestimable benefits upon all sections ; and she denies the right of any State to absolve itself from its allegiance to the Federal Govern ment; and that she will put forth all her power and re sources to maintain that Government and to aid in the enforcement of its laws. " ' Resolved (if the Senate concur)—That the State of New York sincerely desires to avoid civil war by every means consistent with her honour, and to meet her sister States in a conciliatory spirit, to consider all differences of opinion amicably, to remove all just causes of complaint, and by mutual concessions to restore peace and harmony to the Union. "' And whereas the Government of the Territories has long been a disturbing element in our national councils, and has of late given rise to political divisions that appear to admit of no compromise and to threaten the integrity of the Union—one party insisting that tho national Government shall protect slavery in the Territories, another that it shall prohibit it; and still another, that it shall not interfere one way or the other ; " And whereas all parties loyal to the Constitution and Union agree that each State has the sole and exclusive power of determining its own domestic institutions; there fore, to the end that this impediment to our national har mony be for ever removed,— " Resolved (if the Senate concur)—That our senators and representatives in Congress be requested to use their influence, after the admission of Kansas as a State on her present application, to divide all the remaining territory so as to form two States, to be admitted as States of the Union so soon as the inhabitants thererof shall adopt State Con stitutions, Republican inform, reserving the right of sub division, with proper restrictions, or to divide the territory after the manner of the Missouri Compromise; provided that our said senators and representatives shall have as surances satisfactory to them that such disposition of the territories will be generally assented to and will restore peace and harmony to the nation. " ' Resolved (if the Senate concur)—That these resolu tions, with the vote of this Legislature thereon, be forthwith transmitted to the Governor of this State, to cur senators and representatives in Congress, and to the Governors of the several States of the Union. " Lucius Ro HINSON. " FROTHINGHAM FISH. " 4 L. CHANDLER BALL. " WILKES ANGEL. " F. KERNAN. • " IV. J. MWERMOTT.' " The New York Times of the 18th, says : " The President, it will be seen, yesterday mustered courage to send to the Senate his nomination of Mr. Holt as Secretary at War, and that body considered it in Exo•- cutive Session. The debate upon it was understood to be very personal and acrimonious, but, although the nomina tion has not yet been confirmed, there is little doubt that it will be to-day, as a strenuous effort of the Secessionists to have it referred to the Military Committee failed by a suffi ciently decisive vote. The nomination of Mr. M'lntyre as collector at Charleston still hangs on the CoMmittee of Commerce. Colonel Hayne, the Commissioner from South Carolina, yesterday completed his communication in ac l cordance with the request of the President, and will prof hably present it to-day. What disposition will be made of it by Mr. Buchanan remains to be seen. It is rumoured very strongly that he is again getting uncertain in his policy towards the Disunionists, and that in consequence of this fact there was some very plain conversation in Cabi net meeting yesterday. The latest reports from the South received in Washington are deemed of an encouraging nature." The proceedings of Congress on the 17th were interesting. and in the Senate important. Mr. Hunter called up the Deficiency Bill, which was passed, after being amended in various particulars. The item for the support of the captured Africans was reduced from 900,000 dols. to 450,000 dols. An item was audited for the payment of 300,000 dols. for the establishment of a coaling station for the navy at Chirique, Provision was made for a Bureau of Public Printing. An amendment, offered by Mr. Gwin, providing for the payment of 350,000 dols. to Commodore Vanderbilt for carrying the California mails, was amended, on motion of Mr. Latb am, by striking out Mr. Vanderbilt's name, and agreed to. After the Deficiency Bill was disposed of the Senate took up the Pacific Railroad Bill. Various amendments were proposed and voted upon, and several senators expressed their views for and against the measure. The proceedings were finally interrupted by a motion to go into Executive Session, which' prevailed, and the Senate soon afterwards adjourned. In the house, the Senate joint resolution allowing Commodore Paulding to accept rewards from Nicaragua was reported from. _the Navy Com mittee, but objection was made to its consideration, and it was laid over. Mr. Clemens, of Virginia, presented, a memorial, signed by 28,000 persons in his Congressional district, asking for an adjustment of the slavery question in the Union. The house, in committee of the whole on the Army Bill, then continued the general discussion of the condition of the country, the speakers being Messrs. Thomas, of Tennessee; Sickles, of New York ; Ashley, of Ohio; and Perry, of Maine. The South Carolina Legislature still continued the consideration of measures for the defence of the State, evidently expecting that the General Govern ment will commence hostilities soon. The Military Committee reported in favour of raising additional troops and placing the State fully upon a war foot ing. A proposition to connect the city of Charles ton with all the fortifications in the harbour in possession of the State troops was considered in secret session. In the Virginia State Senate, on the 17th, the Committee on Federal Relations reported that the Crittenden resolutions would be an acceptable basis of compromise to the commonwealth. They • also recommended to the General Government and the States to abstain from all acts calculated to pro duce a collision. The Governor, in transmitting the resolutions passed by the New York Legislature, expresses the utmost disdain, and says the threat conveyed can inspire no terror with free men. The Assembly also approves of the Crittenden proposition. Despatches for the Commander of the Gulf Squadron, on the 16th, left New Orleans for Veia Cruz, in charge of Consul Pickens, of that city. It was rumoured that they embodied orders for the concentration of the vessels composing the squadron at the mouth of the Mississippi and at the harbour of Pensacola. Mr. Holt was on the 18th confirmed as Secretary at War by the Senate, by a vote of 38 to 13, after a stormy secret session of about four hours. During its continuance Mr. Crittenden unexpectedly made a speech, in which he severely upbraided the Southern members who voted against his resolutions on Thursday, and thus defeated them. He declared that Kentucky occupied such a position in the Union that it was of F ',lel importance to her that it should be preserved, and that it must be preserved at all hazards. The speech was represented to have made a decided sensation among the seces- Bioniets. Colonel Hayne, notwithstanding an nouncements to the contrary, had not yet sent in his communication to the President, and did not intend doing so before Monday. It was asserted that the tone of the document was likely to be quite moderate. Possibly a still longer delay might result in a further access of moderation. The debates in Congress on the 18th were in teresting, and the action taken was important. The Senate, during the early part of the session, after the introduction of various memorials asking for the:passage of the Crittenden resolutions, was en gaged in the consideration of private bills. Those resolutions were then again brought before the Senate, and again action upon them was post poned until Monday. The Pacific Railroad Bill was made the special order for Tuesday. Mr. Green, of Missouri, introduced a joint resolution recom mending that the several States take immediate steps, by convention or otherwise, to make propo sitions for a compromise of the existing difficulties. It was ordered to a second reading. The bill to authorise a loan, to fix the duty on imports and relative to the outstanding Treasury notes, was made the special order for Wednesday. The Kansas Bill then came up as the special order, and the debate on it continued until 2 o'clock, when the Senate went into executive session to pass upon the nomination of Mr. Holt as Secretary at War. No more business was done in open session. In the house, the general debate in committee of the whole on the Army Bill was , concluded, and the bill was passed through the committee, after the failure of a resolution offered by Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, to the effect that no forces authorised by the bill should be used to subject any seceding State. The principal speech made was by Mr. Sherman, of , Ohio. The Georgia Convention spent most of the day on the 18th in secret session. A resolution was adopted in the afternoon similar to the preliminary resolution adopted by the Florida Convention, de laring the right and duty of the State to secede, and appointing a special conimittr3 to report an ordinance of secession. The vote on this resolution shows a very strong minority against the policy of precipitation—the number declaring against it being 130. The call for a State Convention of the democracy of New York, published on Thursday morning, sets forth the alarming condition of the country, and the causes which in the opinion of the callcrs, have led to it, and comes to the conclusion that the only thing which can save the Union is immediate ac tion on the part of the " time-honoured party," In this N iew of the case a Convention is called to meet in Albany on the 31st inst. The call is signed by the members of the State Central Committee, headed by Benjamin Wood. Among the passengers who reached New York on board the steamer Marion which arrived from Charleston, were four labourers who had recently been paid off and discharged from Fort Sumter, who report some very interesting facts con cerning the condition of the garrison, r and the conduct of the men during the affair of the Star of the West. Although the men are sub sisting at the present time principally upon salt food, there is no disposition to find fault, but they accept their fare cheerfully, as all that can be ex pected under the circumstances. There appears to be no scarcity of anything but fuel. In the State Senate on the 18th Mr. Fiero intro duced a bill appropriating 500,000 dots. for pro viding arms and equipment for the militia of the State, the same to be expended under the direction of the Governor. Mr. Spinola, introduced a bill providing for a special election to take a veto of the people of the State on the Crittenden proposi tions for amendment of the Constitution ; also a bill for the more perfect organisation of the military forces of the State. In the Assembly the Committee on Federal Relations made a report endorsing Mr. Robinson's plan for the settlement of the national difficulties by dividing all the remaining territory, after the admission of Kansas, into two States,which shall be admitted hereafter with or without slavery 44 the people thereof see fit, Laid on the table. Mr. Pierce introduced a bill, which was referred, making it a felony, punishable by imprisonment from 2 to 10 years, to furnish any arms or muni tions of war, to loan money to, or to enlist in the service of any State which may have seceded from the General Government. A telegram from Fort Leavenworth announces the arrival of the pony express there on the 16th. The Califorpia news is unimportant. The steamer Golden Ago' sailed from San Francisco on the Ist inst. with 1,265,000 dols. Among her passengers was ex•Goveinor Weller, who is on his way to Mexico, Col. Nesmith, United States Senator from Oregon, and John C. Fremont. The ship Morning Star, Capt. Campbell, arrived at New York from Liverpool, gave news of the burning of the ship Globus, Capt. Blancke, at sea on the 12th inst. All of her passengers (149), with the exception of one who jumped overboard, were saved and brought to Hampton Roads in the Morning Star. The cargo and baggagawere entirely consumed. By the arrival at "New . York . ofthi bark Mendi, Capt. M'lntyre, we haVe advices from Atonrovia, Liberia, to December 3. The Legislature w as about to convene, and several matters of importance were to be considered, among which were the nego tiating of a 'treaty with Hayti, the recaptured African question, and the relations of the Govern- Mint with the'rjimerican Colonisation Society, the alteration of the tariff, and the confining of all vessels engaged in foreign trade to ports of entry. There is a demand for several more sugar-mills on the St. Paul's River, on account of the increased amount of cane planted. The crop bids fair to be double that of any previous year.. The coming Presidential election excited : considerable interest. A strong desire was expressed by many of the friends of the ex-President Roberts that he should be re-nominated. The contest will probably be between him and the present incumbent, the Hon. Stephen A. Benson. Preparations were being made for holding the national fair at Sinol.

Hillyar, arrived here on Saturday last, six days from Naples, and one day from Messina, and is expected to continue in this port for some time. She left Rear-Admiral Mundy, with four ships, at Naples. " Her Majesty's steam-surveying vessel Firefly left Malta on the same day for Alexandria, under the command of Lieut. Bedford, her senior officer, Commander Mansell, and surveying staff, being on service in the Red Sea, in connection with the con struction of certain lighthouses in those waters. " Her Majesty's gunboat Foxhound, Commander A. ,Mitchell, arrived here to-day at seven a.m., from Corfu, which place she left two days ago. Her Majesty's steam troopship Himalaya, Captain Sebcombe, also came in to-day at 3 30 p.m., from Corfu, with one day's later dates from that station. A letter received by her says Vice-Admiral Fanshawe Martin, the Commander-in-Chief, is still here, and we hear nothing of his leaving us yet.' " The Himalaya has on board chiefly naval in valids, either for the Naval Hospital here or for passage home. 21 sick seamen, four Marines, and an officer were disembarked from her to-day. A Mr. Sutherland, one gunner Royal Artillery, a woman, and a child ; and the master and six men, forming the crew of the Maltese vessel Virginia, wrecked on the 3d instant at Vallona, also arrived by her for Malta; and four naval officers and 29 seamen, invalids, &c., for England. Lieut.-Gen. Warren and Aide-de-Camp Captain Trevor, who had proceeded in the Himalaya to Corfu, returned by her. Her precise date of de parture has not yet been fixed. Before leaving she is to take in about GOO tons of coal, and the two sar cophagi brought by Captain Spratt from Candia for the British Museum. "Her Majesty's frigate Melpomene, Capt. E wart, at present in port, which has completed her repairs, is under orders to proceed to Candia." A later letter, dated Jan. 25, says " Among the officers who are to proceed home in the Himalaya are Mr. Tatum, Military Storekeeper; Mr. Bush, Purveyor to the Forces ; Lieut. Wad dington, R.A., and wife; and Mr. Dowling, H.M.S. Queen,.on promotion to the rank of master. The Queen brought down from Naples for the Naval Hospital here Mr. A. Cazaly, master's assistant, and 19 seamen and Marines. She is now refitting, and will be ready for sea in about 10 days. By the last accounts her Majesty's frigate Terrible was at Mes sina and her Majesty's frigate Amphion at Palermo. Her Majesty's gunboat Box was at Marsala. " The English screw steamer William Corry, 8.. Donaldson, master, arrived on the 23d inst. from London and Toulon. She has been engaged in , laying the electric cable between Bona and Toulon, and had on board the cable to connect Corfu with Otranto. She left Malta the following day for Corfu for this purpose. Mr. Andrews, Engineer and General Superintendent of the Mediterranean Ex tension Telegraph Company, took passage by her to superintend the operation; The Sardinian Go vernment steamer Sirena, Captain Baron L. de Cora, arrived here on the 24th, from Naples and Messina, to join the William Corry, and assist her in laying the Corfu and Otranto cable, but finding her gone she followed her the same night to Corfu. After the operation of submerging this cable is com pleted she is to return to Messina, to assist in laying a cable across the Straits." 'The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Commander H. F. M'Killop, and the Philomel, 5, screw, Commander L. Wildman, have both taken up berths off the King's-stairs in Portsmouth harbour, to swing for the adjustment of their compasses before proceeding to Spithead. The,Vulture, 6, paddle, has been placed in the steam basin at Portsmouth to have her boilers taken out and her machinery thoroughly overhauled and repaired, preparatory for first-class reserve.

Buckle, returned to Woolwich from the packet and despatch service in the Mediterranean, is ordered to be paid off on Tuesday next. The maindeck guns of the screw steamship Aboukir, Capt. Douglas Curry, at Devonport, are in course of removal. Capt. Astley C. Key, C. 8., of the guardship of steam ordinary Indus, 78, in Hamoaze, left Devon port on Tuesday for London. As soon as the artisans of the Devonport dock yard have completed breaking up the Invincible, which is in No; 4 dock, the sloop Liberty, 12, will be placed in it to be repaired and coppered. At Devonport it is rumoured that the Revenge, 91, in Hamoaze, will be commissioned in place of the Princess Royal, 91, at Portsmouth. Besides the Revenge, the Orlando, 51, and the gunboats Pro cris, Sheldrake, Lark, Charon, and Goldfinch, at Devonport, are ready to be commissioned. The screw steamship Centurion, 80, Capt. H. D. Rogers, in Hamoaze, is ordered to he supplied with some Armstrong guns. It having been in contemplation for some time past by the Lords of the Admiralty to supersede, in a great measure, the employment of shop,rsesn ersed i e, her Majesty's dockyards by the use of f.m improvements sst e e n am ts traction engines, some iroportant have been 'suggested in their manufacture, whi c h are now being carried out in the construction of an engine on the improved system, to repladd the one delivered by the company for the permanent service of the dockyard at Woolwich. The power of the now engine will be greater than that of the f orme r ones, the area of the cylinders being nearly double. The framing will also differ, and will be some what similar t o th at of a railway l oco motive, and an outside bearing is provided, which will con siderably strengthen the wheels and prevent their laminating. The engines will he mounted on springs and the b o il er suspended on trunn ions to insure it s being on a level in ascending and descending un even ground, and the steam NV i 1 1 be superheated to prevent priming. The engines on the old principle have been engaged for some days past in removing the Warrior's engines and machinery from Messrs. Penn's factory at Greenwich, and notwithstanding the extremely varied state of the weather and the roads, they have succeeded adruTe , :!T. Yesterday TELE ARMY. A short time since rivate White, of the 34th Depot, stationed at:Colchester Camp, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and to receive 51) lashes, for repeated acts of desertion and re-enlist ment. The sentence having been confirmed by the Commander-in-Chief, the prisoner has since been whipped in the presence of the battalion tl which. he belonged, and on his recovery he will be sent to prison for the allotted period. This is the only case of military flogging which has taken place in Col chester Camp for nearly 12 months, and was in this instance resorted to in consequence of the prisoner• being a most desperate and incorrigible character. The first steps towards the formation of the new camp will be taken immediately, an order having been issued for the construction of the main drain age. The buildings, it is expected, will be for the accommodation of nearly 4,000 men, embracing each branch of the service. T.HE VOLUIVTBER MOVEMENT. The first annual meeting of the St. John's division of the Queen's (Westminster ) Volunteers was held at the Schoolrooms, Horseferry-road, on Tuesday evening; Mr. J. C. Wood in the chair. After the 1- 1 - niVilninaries, the hon. secretary (Mr. Jebb) read the report. The chairman stated that their expenses had been necessarily very heavy in that the first year of their existence; so heavy, indeed, that they had been left with a balance of only £97 in hand. He trusted therefore that - those parishioners who could not join the ranks of the division would subscribe towards their expenses. The report and accounts were received and adopted. On Monday evening the members of Lord Truro's Metropolitan Light Cavalry assembled at the Wel lington Barracks.in strong force. Notwithstanding the short time which Lord Truro has been agitating the formation of troops of cavalry for the metropolis, the number of applications for enrolment has been very great. The corps possesses many aelvantages, the uniform being very smart and economical, con. sistent with comfort. The horse appointments by Messrs. Gibson, of New Coventry-street, are of a novel and light description, the difference in weight between the horse appointments of the Metropolitan Light Cavalry and the regular Dragoons being 161 b. The Volunteers having gone through a variety of evolutions in a creditable manner, were dismissed to their respective quarters. Her Majesty has been pleased to accept the ser vices of a body of Volunteers raised at Downton as a subdivision of the Ist Wilts (Salisbury) Corps,. and the names of the officers are shortly to be ga zetted. The ladies of the city of Salisbury and neighbourhood are about to present the corps with a handsome silver bugle. It is arranged that the presentation shall take place on Wednesday next, the 6th of February. In the evening there is to be a grand Volunteer Ball at the Assembly-rooms, under the immediate patronage of Lieutenant- General Buckley, M.P., Mr. H. M. Marsh, M.P., the Mayor of Salisbury, Captain Sir F. H. H. Bathurst, Lieutenant Earl Nelson, and Cornet W. E. Matcham, of the Salisbury Troop of Yeomanry Cavalry ; and Captain Commandant J. H. Jacob, and the rest of the officers of the lst Wilts Rifle Volunteers. THE .RISCA COLLIERY _EXPLOSION. RISCA, WEDNESDAY. The inquiry was resumed to-day, Mr. Llewellyn appearing for the Risca Coal and Iron Company ; Mr. Owen for the friends of some of the deceased; and Mr. Brough and Mr.. Evans, Government inspectors, to watch proceedings and - assist the coroner. Mr. Harrison, chief viewer, or under-ground manager of the Risca Coal and Iron Company, wes recalled and examined at considerable length. In reply to the coroner, he repeated his former decla ration, that he consieered the system of ventilation 1 - y machinery adopted at the Black Vein Pit suffi cient for its purpose under all ordinary circum stances, and that no system of ventilation could pre vent an explosion if a blower of extraordinary mag nitude came off suddenly, and the' gas came by any means in contact with the naked flame of a lamp. He expressed an opinion that on D ec . 1 th ere was a series of explosions, the first being the result of a blower, and setting free various accumulations of gas by falls of coal from the roof, the whole of which fired in immediate succession. With regard to the ventilation of " yobs," of old workings —a question which had been frequently referred tQ before—he asserted it to be impracticable, and that it existed nowhere in the world. In reply to Mr. Brough, the witness went on to say that the use of powder for blasting in the mine was sometimes an absolute necessity. He contra dicted statements made by various witnesses as to the continued accumulations of large quantities of gas in different parts of the pit, and said he never allowed a man to work where gas collected, if he knew of it 3 existence. Witness asked why he did not attempt to aid the ventilation by a supplementary furnace in the Hill Pit ; he replied that the power of the ventilator would have drawn out the fire from the furnace, and so rendered it worse than useless,. and when Mr. Brough gave it as his own impression that the number of firemen was insufficient for the service of the pit he affirmed that no fireman con nected with the pit had a district which he could not easily traverse in four hours. With regard to an admission by Derrick, one of the night firemen, that he had often found men asleep when going his rounds, and had left them so, Mr. Harrison charac terised Derrick's conduct as highly censurable and likely to lead to danger. He knew nothing, he said, of an attempt to prevent the men belonging to the Black Vein from applying to Mr. Brough, nor in fact of any other complaint having ever been made by the men than they had too much air. He explained various points of detail connected wit h the management of the colliery, and, in reply to Evans, he broadly asserted that the men during the four years he had been there had never once asked to be allowed to go round and examine the pit. Examined by Mr. Llewellen, he said there was no protection from blowers but good ventila tion and the safety lamp ; and he added that with proper care a man might escape, however large . the quantity of gas coming off, since if he put 1' .. 48 . 1 .gtn,P quietly under his jacket it would go out of itself, and the gas would not explode. A long and minute cross-examination Mr. from the witness (for Mr. Owen) elicited nothing _ nal evidence. witness in addition to orcopnt, asradi had cti bfee his on ois r o e r clem igi i On re-examination by / Ifr. Llewellen th e witness said the sinking of anew it mended by Mr. Brough, would involve the laying out of a new colliery altogether, and that, although it would increase the ventilation, the large area of new workings that would be opened up would absorb k t h e a dditional supply of air, and l eave th e existing workings ing to s ventilation. Th e new p it, pretty much i n th e i r present s t a t e with re gard it was men tioned incidentally, would cost £30 , 00 0 , but would very much facilit ate the product i on o f coal. Edward Rowb o th am, surgeo n, was the next wit ness examined, an d gav e evidence as to the causes of death o f the poor fellows killed by the explosion, deposing that some were burnt and some smashed, but the majority died from after-damp. The inquiry was proceeding when our pared was despatched. T HE NFW PRESIDENT OF AMERICA.—He stands six feet four, it is said, in his stockings. His head is Nvbll set upon his shoulders, and would be a pleasing study fora phrenologist. His black hair, thin and wiry, is sprinkled hero and there with gray. His forehead is good, his eyes dark gray, and when lit up with emotion, small as they are, flash forth the fire that lives in his soul. His nose is long and slightly aquiline, and his nostrils are cut on that vett- liar model which Napoleon praised in his favourite generals. ais complexion is that of an octoroon; his face is cut into innumerable angles, and in each there seems to lurk the genius of humour. But his mouth is described as the most expressive of his features, though somewhat inclined tot coarseness ; and his smile is winning from its frankness and sincerity. his frame is gaunt, his arms long, and his lower limbs proportioned to his gigantic height. llis step is firm but slow ; and in walking he inclines his head for ward, whilst his hands are clasped behind his back. As a speaker he exhibits readiness, preciseness, and fluency of ideas rather Ilan of language, for his enunciation is for the most p a seriousness rtslowa or convulsesndemphatic; thandehm witheimp raresseerrhns hisel;leta withrers , cording to the requirements of the occasion.
