The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with some excitement, and prices of all kinds were Eig,ainA the buyer. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales, 2,000 for export, and 5,000 on speculation, comprising 100 Pernam and Maranham, 6,1 d. to 7 1d. ; 50 Bahia, 6;d. ; 200 Egyptian, 6d. to 101 d.; 1,000 Surat, 4id. to 4id. ; and 50 Sea islands, ls. id. par lb. The Railway Share marked ruled dull. A.dvices from Breslau to the 9th inst. state that there has been a reaction in the prices of wool, and holders of stocks have been obliged to reduce their demands from 3 to to 4 rixthalers par centuer, While the buyers are not inclined to make large Purchases, in the expectation of a further decline. Most of the wool is in the hands of speculators, a nd there is every reason to suppose that they will lose considerably by the change in the state of t he market. Very few producers have cools in !lore, and all those who reserve their produce have It upon their farms. This reaction has been influ ; ?need by the sales in England, and the general i tiferiority of the produce. Accounts from New York, brought by the s teamer Canada, aro only a day or two later than t hose received on Saturday by the Fulton. The d ismissal of Mr. Crampton, and the Consuls Cincinnatti, New York, and Philadelphia, had 40 unfavourable effect upon the money market, which, on the contrary, was buoyant and active at the latest date. Money was rather easier, and the b ankers were doing alarger discount business in con . sequence. Notwithstanding the immense ship kents of specie the arrivals from California c ' e unterbalance there, and the stock of specie in the Ci tY Banks exceeded 14,000,006 dollars. The ex- Ports of specie in the week ending May 31 were 1 ) 2 68,149 dollars, making a total for the year to that date 11,957,332 dollars. The cotton marketmac firm, but the market for breadstuffs, owing to the large arrivals from the interior, was heavy. The corn market has been active this morning, sl id a rise of 33. per quarter on last Monday's prices tt as established. The conciliatory tone pervading the American d espatches just published upon the subject of Mr. n i' l. r arapton's conduct and dismissal, has removed e impression which was rapidly gaining ground i g tt the City, th a t our am i ca bl e r e lati o n s w ith vil e 'United States would be rescinded ; but v t u cre is yet a feeling of anxiety with regard r ° the probable course that will be taken P b our l ' e erinnent. The Funds have, however, improved t ° per cont. compared with the latest value of t iirday, and the market exhibits a buoyant a h 'ugh quiet aspect. Speculators are cautious, t 1) as the public are not operating, owing to the transfer books being closed, the transactions are rather limited in extent.

(Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.) TRtTELoCS V. HOUSEIIOLDERS' LIFE, &C , COMPANY. This was an action fur the recovery of 1,0001. on a policy of insurance effected on the life of the late Mr. Jodrell, sou of Sir R. Jodrell. The defence wes fraud, that the plaintiff kept back information that the de ceased was of intemperate habits, and had been insane. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Piuppin were coun sel for the plaintiff. The Attorney-General, Mr. Collins, Q.C., and another learned gentleman were counsel for the defendant. It appeared, from the evidence of the plaintiff, that he was a member of the Stock Exchange. About the end of the year 1850 he became acquainted with Mr. Jodrell, which continued till his death on the 12th Nov., 1855, which took place at Child wick-hall, near St. Albans, in Hertfordshire. In Dec., 1853, be was applied to by a parson named Braid to keep up for Mr. Jodrel itwo policies of 5,000/. each on the life of that gentleman, also that of his father, effected in the Medical and In valid's Insurance Campany, the premiums on whke amounted to 3301. He consented to do so, and an actuary was consulted as to the security he would take by way of a post obit bond, the son's age being 35, and the father's 63,assuring the father to live 10 years longer, and the son to survive him. The calculation was 12,8321. The bond was given, and plaintiff then ap• plied to Mr. Peck, of the Engineer's, to procure him 14,0001. worth of policies on Mr. Jodrell's life. They were alternately effected (the Kent Mutual, however, refusing the application, the papers being passed over to the others), and amongst them the Householder's. The deceased hat been a man of intemperate was, but at the time witness insured his life he had reformed. He did not know then that he had had delerium tremens, or been attacked with in- Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—Ho was not in any occupation now, but lived upon his wife's property in a great measure. He commenced life as a clerk in a stock broker's office, and in '45 commenced on his own account, in 1848 he was a defaulter, and in 1849 be passed through the Court with 17,000/. lia bilities. No dividend had been paid from his estate, but he had raid some of his creditors since in full, to the extent of 2,000/. He was first introduced to Mr. Jodrell by Mr. Braid, whom witness knew from having had some transactions with him with reference to shares. Mr. Braid followed no business. He believed he was living on the proceeds of his prop, rty—the sale of his reversionary interest in property after his mother's de cease. Braid resided with Mr. Jodrell the latter period of his life, and was a constant visitor before that. 'Wit ness was at Child wick-hall occasionally. Mr. Strange, a gentleman who was at the time a sleeping partner in a grocery business in the City, also visited there. Braid introduced a Mr. Arnold to Mr. Jodrell, who induced the latter to give him bills, for which he got no conside ration ; and two sums of 8,000/. and 13,0001. bad to be got from the Norwich Reversionary Association by Mr. Jodrell with which to meet them. That was at the end of 1852 or beginning of 1853. Witness had none of the money. Deceased drank at times more than would do him good ; but at the time these insu rances were e ff ecte d he had reformed. He did not know he suffered from delirium tremens in 1854. Braid was at the Hall then and told witness it was low fever deceived suffered from. The two policies of 5,0001. each he was applied to to keep up were effected by Arnold. Witness paid the first premium in 1854, and the second was paid for him by a gentleman named Fellowes, of Dor set-square, who had lent him 1,5001. on the post obit about 3 months before deceased's death. The brother's name of that gentleman occurred on these papers, and he was introduced by witness to the deceased and visited him. He did not know if B-aid was in the habit of getting large sums of money from Mr. Jodrill by bills. Braid had a joint interest with witness in the post obit. Re-examined—Fie wa.3 readmitted a member of the Stock Exchange in 1851. He failed in 1848 from the railway panic. He had no connection with Arnold's transaction in the remotest degree. Mr. S. Westall, solicitor, was called and explained the canceliingof one of the conditions in the deed, which took place before it was executed. He was introduced by Braid to deceased, and in consequence acted sometimes professionally for him. Braid was often at deceased's. Truelock was not. Mr. Spackman, surgeon, who bud been deceased's medical attendant from 1351 to the period of his death, was called, and stated that be had replied to 12 or 14 applications from different insurance offices, on the state of deceased's health, with reference to those insurances, and he had given permission for them to be transferred to otherr. Ile nave a c3rrect account of the deceased's habits, mentioned his intemperance, and that he had had an attack of delirium tremens. There was a rumour of deceased's being insane, hut it was incorrect. The case for the plaintiff had not concluded when our despatch left. The case was expected to occupy the whole of the day.

There was a decided increase in the supply of sheep, but their general co uilition was by no means first-rate. Those from Ireland, however-100 in number—were very good. The muttoa tradlo, however, ruled heavy, and prices gave way 2d per 81bs. The top price for Downs, out of the wool, was 5s 2d per Sibs. We were well supplied with lambs, for which the de mand ruled inactive' at 21 per 81bs money. The highest figure was Es 10d per gibs. The show of hoi .12 English and foreign calves was good, and the veal trade was heavy, at 2d per 81b less money. There was searcay any inquiry for pigs, at last week's quotations.

As this large quantity will be brought forward al the next public sales, our market is heavy for all kinds of wool, and prices are barely supported. Last week's im ports were 3 ti bags from Oporto, 179 bales from Mogadore, 1,700 from Sydney, and 342 from Adelaide.

The June session of the Central Criminal Court was opened this morning by the Right lion, the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. the Recorder, Aldermen Mus grove, Finnis, Carter, Sir H. Mugeeridge, and Law rence, Mr. Sheriff Kennedy, Mr. Sheriff Rose, Mr. Under-Sheriff Stone, Mr. Under-Sheriff Rose, &cc. The first edition of the calendar contains the names of 123 prisoners. The Recorder, in his charge to the grand jury, ex pressed his regret that their labours were likely to be heavy, as the calendar contained a much larger number of prisoners, and the offences were of a much more aggravated character than usual at this period of the year. A good many of the cases were adjourned from the last session, in consequence of the important trial that was then disposed of, and he could not allow the present opportunity to pass without returning his own thanks personally, and those of the Court for the very admirable arrangements that were made by the sheriffs during the progress of that inquiry, and in con sequence of which the business of the court had pro ceeded with perfect regularity and without any incon venience being occasioned. his lordship then stated that there were a great many cases of highway robbery with violence, and no less than 22 charges of burglary, a very unusual number of that class of eases at this period of the year. It was always the practice of the court to punish such offences with considerable severity, and that course would certainly be pursued in order to check crimes of this descript.on. There was one charge of murder of a very peculiar kind, in which a man was charged with inducing an unfortunate woman to jump off London-bridge into the river, and, in this case, if it should be made out to their entire satis faction that the prisoner did in any way induce or assist the deceased to jump into the river, he would be amen able to the charge of principal in the second degree as an accessory to the commission of the crime. It ap peared to him, however, that the evidence to support this view of the case was very slight, and unless the fact Was clearly made out, they would not be justified in find kg the bill. The Recorder then referred to the charge of endeavouring to incite a mutiny on board a vessel called the Stebenheath, and he expressed an opinion that it would be the duty of the grand jury in this case to return a true bill. The Recorder then said that he understood a charge of forgery was likely to oome before them, issuing out of a petition that was presented to the House of Commons against the return of a gentleman as member for the borough of Sligo. It appeared that two witnesses were examined in support vf the petition, and they swore distinctly to certain acts of bribery having been committed by the gentleman in question. The gentleman himself was subsequently ex aneined, and he in the most positive manner contradicted the testimony that had been given by those witnesses. A discussion arose as to whether an indictment for per jury should be preferred against those witnesses ; but as it was necessary in cases of perjury that two witnesses should be called to contras diet the alleged false testimony, it was im possible to prefer an indictment against them. It was now intimated that an indictment was to be preferred against the gentleman himself ; and he would only ob serve that it would have been much more satisfactory if the charge had been preferred openly before a magis trate, instead of coming to the grand jury behind the back of the party. The law, however, gave them the right to do so, but it was his custom in all such cases to warn the jury to look at the evidence with close atten tion ; bat, of course, if the charge was established it would be their duty to find the bill. The grand jury then retired. SURREY SESSIONS—{This Day.) The adjourned sessions for the county of Surrey com menced' this morning at the Court houses, Newington causeway, before Thomas Puckle, Eiq., chairman, J. E. Johnson, Esq., deputy chairman, and a full bench of magistrates. The calendar contained the names of forty- Eve prisoners for trial, and the folio wing is their degrees of education : —Thirteen could neither read nor write, sir could only read, twenty-three imperfectly, and only Itbre,e could read and write well. The Chairman, in his address to the grand jury, said lie had iNoped he should have been able to congratulate '.hem as to tho lightness of the calendar, especially as the last sessions( were only a month ago, but he was sorry to say there seemed to be an increase of crime, and that chiefly by old offenders who had been previously tried and convicted. Had it not been for a recent act of Par liament which empowered committing magistrates at police-courts and potty sessions to try and convict offenders who were not known before, and who preferred that course in preference to coming to the sessions, the calendar would have con tained more than double the number of pri soners. That mode of dealing with them saved a great deal of money to the country and the time of pro secutors and s% itnesses ; but still he believed that in ' some instances the magistrates were deceived, and old thieves got off with a small punishment, and on their release from prison returned to their olil pract . c2s. That, however, seldom happened, as the police as well as the gaolers kept a sharp look after them, and when convicted at these sessions they were severely punished, Before dismissing them to their room he would impress upon them the necessity of being careful in returning their bills, and before they ignored any to examine all the witnesses at the back of them ; and if they bad any doubt to send for the original depositions taken by the magistrates, as many witnesses told different stories to frustrate the ends of justice. all All all i 0 'Bi 73i 44 132 1 2; 1121 i 4 Pm 3i - -trb WAtittio u SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN. The LORD CHANCELLOR read a message from her Majesty, informing their lordships that she had en tered into a convention with his Majesty the King of Sardinia for a further loan of 1,000,0001. The message was afterwards read by the clerk at the table, and it was ordered to be taken into consideration on Thursday next. OUR RELATIONS WITH AMERICA. The Earl of DERBY rose to ask a question of the noble earl the Secret try of State fur Foreign Affairs on the subject of our relations with America. The noble earl stated that he had waited till the last moment in the expectation that the noble earl would have volunteered some information upon a subject of such great impor t• ance as that to which be had alluded. It was impoe siblo to overrate the gravity of the position in which we stood, or the serious responsibility that rested upon the Government in regard to the course they think it neces sary to take under the circumstances. He therefore asked the noble earl whether, since the house last met, the Government had come to any conclusion as to the ad• vice they should give to her Majesty on the subject, and if so, whether the noble lord was now prepared to state the grounds of their conclusions ? (Hear, hear.) The Earl of CLARENDON—My lords, it is the in tention of her Majesty's Government, at the earliest pos s►ble moment, to lay upon the table of the house the papers which have been communicated to us by the A►nericar. Government. Those papers had been laid be fore the Senate at Washington, and are now in the pos session of the Government of this country. They are now in the printer's hands, and will be laid before your lordships as soon as the answer of her Majesty's Government to these despatches is pre. pared. Your lordships must, however, be aware, that the answer will require some time and mature conside ration. In consequence of the answer not being as yet prepared lie refrained from taking the initiative in laying before the house the desired information. I (continued his lordship), feel, nevertheless, that it is the duty of the Government to satisfy the public mind as speedily as possible upon so important a subject. I therefore do not hesitate to take this occasion for announcing to your lordships that it is not the intention of her Majesty's Ministers to advise a course which would have the effect of suspending diplomatic relations with this country and America. (Hear, bear.) The Earl of DERBY said—ln the absence of the papers in question, it would no doubt be premature to enter into any discussion upon this question. He re joiced, personally, at the announcement made by the noble earl, for this reason, that although he deeply re gretted the course taken by the Government of the United States, nevertheless he felt it impossible to vin. dicate the conduct of our Minister in America, and be be- lieved therefore that the American Government had a just cause of complaint against us. Although it was no doubt painful and humiliating on the part of this country to submit to the removal of our Minister from America, and at the same time to recognise the authority of the American Minister in this country, yet, believing the American Government had just cause of complaint against Mr. Crampton and our consuls, he rejoiced at the determination of the Government to maintain diplo matic relations with America. The Earl of CLARENDON could not help remark ing upon the most positive judgment upon Mr. Cramp ton's conduct by the noble earl. He could only appeal to their lordships, and through their lordships to the country, not to join the noble earl in thus prejudging the conduct of Mr. Crampton. The Earl of DERBY said he had formed his judg ment upo❑ the papers ho had already read, and which had been laid before their lordships by command of the Queen. The subject then dropped. [LEFT SITIINO.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

THE ABERDEEN UNIVERSITIES. Mr. THOMPSON asked the Lord Advocate if he was prepared to bring in a bill for the union of the Aberdeen Universities ? The LORD ADVOCATE said he bad a bill prepared for the above purpose. It was his intention shortly to lay it on the table, and, if possible, to pass the bill this session. THE MISSION AT HANOVER. Mr. WISE asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether it was the intention of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, on Mr. Bligh's intended retirement from the mission at Hanover, to act in conformity with the reso lution passed by the House of Commons in 1355, and to a , lopt the recommendation made in 1850 by the select committee on official salaries, with reference to the dip lomatic establishment at Hanover I Lord PALMERSTON said, with all due deference to the decision arrived at in 1855, it was not the inten tion of Government to withdraw the British represen tative from the Court of Hanover. THE ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURTS. Col. 0. HIGGINS asked the Chief Secretary for Ire land whether the attention of her Majesty's Go vernment had been called to the recent decision of the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, in the case of Errington v. Rorke, in which it was held that a purchaser under the Encumbered Estates Court was bound by a previous lea,e not mentioned in the conveyance to him from the commissioners ; and whether it was the intention of Government to intro duce any measure t i set at rest the doubts created by that decision as to the indefeasibility of the title cow ferred by the commissioners! Mr. HORSMAN said that the attention cf the Government had been drawn to the circumstance alluded to by the hon. member. The Governmtat had under their consideration measures which would tend to allay all alarm on the point. TOWN REGISTRARS. Mr. GEORGE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of Government to introduce a bill, or to insert clau-es in any bill now befor e th e h ouse, to make the o ffi ces of town registrars (to the Chi e f Jus tices and Chief Baron) or clerks of Nisi Prius in the three superior courts of common in Ireland permanent, and to authorise the appointment of a clerk by each of said officers, in analogy to the provisions of the act 15 and 16 Vic c. 73 (English). Mr. HORSMAN said the question had already been answered by the Attorney• General for Ireland some time ago. It was not the intention either to introduce a bill or clauses in any bill to make the office of town-regis- ,rar pernianetit. APPELLATE JURISDICTION (HOUSE OF LORDS) BILL. Mr. SCULLY gave notice that on the motion for the second readin , of this bill, he should move that it be re ferred to a select committee. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

(Hear, hear.) THE FORTIFICATION OP EARS. In reply to a question from Sir DS LAO! EVANS, Lord PALMERSTON said that no authentic) info& mation had been received from Sara that the Russians had blown up the fortifications of that place, but it Wag rumoured such had been done, and that the Rtigaihllll had also blown up part of the fortifications at Ismail. THE SARDINIAN LOAN BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. ---- The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was proposed by this bill to advance to the Sale. dinian Government one million sterling, in ac , cordance with the spirit, though not with the letter, of the treaty entered into between this country and Sar dinia in 1854. The right hon. baro net having stated the grounds on which the application wi,,Ns made, The bill was agreed to. OUR RELATIONS WITH AXERICA. On the motion that the house go into committee of sNPPIY, ,Tfiord J. RUSSELL said it was necessary, bvetore the Louse voted the army estimates, that etorne explanations should take place with respect to our rAstions with the United Staies, and that the house should know whother there were to be any diplomatic relatiOlis with 6 4 " United States Government, for as the question of en. , listment affected the two countries they appe9, ved to be at an end, each being satisfied with each other's explanations, but that the American (10YorifW ent were dissatisfied with Mr, Crampton, and bad in' formed this Government that they could not continue t 4.9 remain in communication with him. The United States' Government had also agreed to meet our Government on the Central American question, and had no wish nor in -I,ention to enter into either of these subjects to-night. There were two important questioNs independent of the details of the other's he had allwdeld to. Th• first was whether it was the intention of Govern. meat, sifter mature deliberation, to desire Mr. Diti.las to withdrg.W, and thus to put an end to any diplomatic conamuni'cistions between the two countries ; and, Bo' condly, the. question was, whether, if that course was or was not pur sued, pending cur negotiations about Central, America, unt3 it was brought to some conclusion, what were the intentrous of her Majesty's Government with respect to any foives that may be now sufficient, or nay be sent to Grey Tonan and the coast of America gene. rally ? (Hear.) If ber Majesty's Government bad any season to believe that the removal of Mr. Crampton was intended as a wanton and determined insult on the part of the United St'ates Government towards this Government, her Majesty' 'e Government could do no °that than resent it by breakin vs off with the United States Govern went. If her Majesty's Government entertain no such opinion, and there wt `re no circumsta nces con netted with the question that weld lead them to that conclusioe. There were not only .former examples for negotiations being carried on, but the peculiar na cure of the circumstances of the case, it was desirable her Majesty's Government should accede to the United States Government, and enter into neg,-)t'ations on the points of difference now existing, though not serious at the present moment, might; lead to most cietious conse quences if not entered into with that spirit atid feeling that was most desirable. (Hear, hear.) .Tll,l noble lord then alluded to many precedents far /ami cable relationship existing between the two c ottntries and referred to the regret that would b e felt by al! at Mr. Dallas leaving this country—(hear, host:l— and called attention to the conflicting reports current; on the state of affairs in America, and the conduct of 'ter tain English ships of war, and concluded by asking h er Majesty's Government for an explanation, and expresso,i a hope that these two governments would not allow the hostilities or squabbles of these hostile states in Central America to embroil the two countries in war, which would be a course of events deeply to be deplored. The course of humanity, commerce, and civilisation would suffer for it, and every man who wished to see freedom prevail would regret such a conflict— (bear, hear, hear)—but, on the other hand, would rejoice on friendly relations continuing. (Hear, hear.) He had no doubt her Majesty's Govern :nent would do all they could to preserve the honour and dignity of this country. (Hear, hear,) If the house found there was a probability of our relations being continued, and that negotiations were taking place respecting it, they would use the necessary forbearance, and abstain from discussing the question. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said it was perfectly natural for the house to wish to have an explanation on our re lations with America, and ho was not surprised at the course of the noble lord in bringing it before the house If the noble lord had not done so, it would have been the duty of her Majesty's Government to have lost no time in communicating the intentions of her Majesty's Government on the question to the house. (Hear, hear.) After referring to the state of American affairs, the noble lord said that with regard to our diplomatic relations with the United States' Government, that Go vernment had thought fit to intimate to Mr. Crampton that they could not continue their relations with him, and, in consequence, he had left Washington, but it did not go to the extent of a rupture with the reten tion of Mr. Dal!as to this country. (Hear, hear.) On the contrary, the intimation of Mr. Crampton'. dis missal was accompanied with a despatch, containing a desire on the part of the United States Government to continue diplomatic relations with this Court throng's. Mr. Dallas. Her Majesty's Government had duly con• -idered all the various bearings of the question, and did not consider it their duty to advis her Majesty to sus pend diplomatic relations with the American Minister accredited to this Court. (Cheers.) Her Majesty'. Government was prepared to enter into communication with him with regard to all questions that may affect the interests and happiness of the people of that great country. (Cheers.) The Government, whilst protecting British interests in ♦merican water, would take care nothing was done to insult or annoy the people of America ; and in conclusion, said that he hoped this question would be amicably settled, but if not, he could ❑ot but allude to the fact that this country was never in a better state to go to war than if war be thrust upon her. (Hear, bear.) Mr. DISRAELI next rose to address the house. He defended the conduct of Mr. Crampton, who, he said, had been made the scapegoat for the Government. (LEFT SPEAKING.) AIISTAALIA. By the overland mail we have received papers and correspondence from Melbourne to the 28th March, of which a summary has already appeared in he Sun. In the commercial intelligence of the Melbourne Argus, of May 27, we read :—" Duty has been paid on 6,565 oz. of gold for shipment in the fol lowing parcels :—For Liverpool, per Marco Polo, 271 oz. 9 dwt. ; for Point de Gale, per Marion, 5,098 oz. 11 dwt. ; for Hong Kong, per Man darin, 420 oz. ; for Hobart Town, per Tasmania, 74 oz. ; for Adelaide, per Burrs Burra, I. oz. The total amount of gold shipped by the Marco Polo amount to 68,737 oz. 9 dwt., of which there were shipped by the Bank of Australasia, 20,000 oz. ; Bank of Victoria, 12,000 oz. ; Bank of New South Wales, 20,000 oz. ; Union Bask, 3,336 oz. ; London Chartered Bank, 8,580 oz. There was also 41,140 sovereigns, of which 40,000 were shipped by the Union Bank." The banks are still the principal gold buyers, and on some of the diggings their agents have given so high as 3/. 18s. to 3/. 18s. 6d. per oz. The rate of exchange on London has been raised to 2 per cent. preen. The consequence w as a l arge exporta tion of specie, even the colonial coinage being ship ped at Sydney for London to a considerable amount, although this operation involves a loss to the colony of the cost of coining, viz., 1 per cent. A reduced rate of interest continues to prevail, eligible investments being scarce. Naval and Military Intelligence. Her Majesty's steam store-ship Industry, Mr. G. H. K. Bower. Master, R.N., commanding, arrived at Spit head on Saturday night from the Black Sea, laden with spoils from the late docks ;tad yards of Sebastopol. She left last evening for Deptford, to discharge her storm M r . warn?, Vice-Consul of Bengasi, and Commander Lacy, R.N., late First Lieutenant of her Majesty's ship Furious, were the only passengers by the Industry. Mr. Bower has well earned some better reward for his long and arluous services than the command of suoh a ship as the Industry, and the pay he merely receives in that position. He was master of Sir Edmund Lyons's flag-ship Agamemnon from the time she left Eneand until Sir Edmund conferred upon hire his present appointment, and was present at every engagement during the war in the Crimea; his general services during his years afloat are all of the most com mendable cha racter. So active and skilful a navigating offi cer , peal sessing the high opinion of such a chief as Sir E. Lyons, surely cannot fail to meet with encouragement from the Lords of the Admiralty. Doke of Wellin shipP of Rear-Admiral th e Hon. Sir R. S. gton, 131, Captain Callidewrel‘lli,acjeßst.y.'silashgi Dundee, K.C.8., is expected to leave Spithead for Lisboa in a day or two. The steam.transport Queen of the South, N.. 18S Capt. Beal, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from the East, with SO officers, 5 servants, 159 troops. and 219 horses, principally of the A. and B batteries of Royal Artillery. The steam-transport Trent, No. 94, arrived at Spi head yesterday afternoon from the East, with Well officers, 217 men, and 185 horses of the Royal Artillery. inti ore' n s of ~ The f the erecl Me: a nd ) Sties the fared place "etego laid a by u tre, 3.
