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 inure fitting for a parcel of pigs than for human beings. Their table requisites were reduced by breakage until at length they were compelled to eat soup, pudding, and meat off the same plate, and to drink tea out of tins 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.

After the death of the late Mr. Joh . Sadleir I found among his papers in London six policies of insurances connected with the Kiopton estate ; they bad 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. Messrs. Parker and Walter jointly to Mr. Walter alone. There was a subsequent deed transferring them to a Mr. Eyre, in payment of 15,0001., which I did n o t find. Now Ready, in 1 vol., with 1,500 Engravings of Arms, THE PEERAGE and BARONETAGP for 1856.

BLOCKADE OF RUSSIAN POSTS.—SOMS 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-house will not pass them, but a large number have recently been chartered and despatched to Constan 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 contraot is to be void. Some notice from the Governmeat on the subject is daily looked for, and, meanwhile, several ships have been put en the berth for Russian ports, at Hall, London, and elsewhere. According to the last accounts from St. Petersburg, large transactions were being entered into for the early shipment of tallow, seed, hemp, flax, &o. 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 be obstructed by the necessity for reorganising all the erdinary 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 This is expected, however, to be immediately rescinded, and, if existing prices in England should be maintained, it is probable they will have the usual effect of demonstrating that the extent of the supplies and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.

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. News from Ballarat 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 rencei 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 Hothain, and the rejoicings were everywhere postponed. - At Melbourne gold remained quiet at 3/. 18s. per ounce. On January 5, H.M.S.' Fantome sailed for England vict Sydney. The price of wool bad a downward tendency ; 170. was realised on one large fleck, which, at the beginning of December, would have commanded a penny more: Tallow, good 'mixed, was sold at auction at 39/. 55.; very superior mutton tallOw at 42/. A large . parcel of hides was sold. on January 6, at 13s. 6d. • Agricul tural labourers were iu great demand, as also female servants for the diggings. The Red Jacket was to leave Melbourne for Eng land on January 8. The death of Sir Chas. Rotham, K.C.8., Gover 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 regret, 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 fourth judge of the Su preme Court, aid is succeeded by Mr. Carey as Master in Equity, Mr. Purefroy becomin g Chief Commissioner of Insolvent Estates, and the Dire ctor of Intestate Estates. Sir Alfred Stephens, the Chief Justice, was about to proceed on a visit to Melbourne. Me. Merewether, the Colonial Trea surer, had proceeded to Van Diemen's Laud 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 southern diggings before return ing to Sydney. THE LOSS OF THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER SOIIOMBERG. The loss of the royal mail ship Schomberg within about 30 Miles of Port Philip Heads, on ler 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. lit appears that the mat ter was to be taken up by Government. The emi gration agent was about to lay information at the instance of the passengers. The wreck of the Schom berg has been visited by Lloyd's agent; she was not totally broken up, but there way no opportunity of communicating with the wreck—it was not ex pected that anything would be saved. On the 3d Jan. the passengers by the Schomberg convened a public meedug at the Mechanics' Insti tution, 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. Ttie gross immoralities com mitted on board, and the utter carelessness of Cap tain Forbes and his officers, may be gathered from the statements of the passengers 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 Rekilved—That the conduct of the captain, the. surgeon, and officers of the Schoenberg was ungentlemanly, discourteous, and tyran nical, and grossly immoral." He might say, in refer ence to the ungentlemanly, crsuourteoue, and tyrannical conduct of the captain, that there 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 had suffered con siderably from the conduct of the captain, for when be started he bad 2,000/. 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 beggar. Mr. Norris cordially agreed with the resolution. The conduct of all the officers was bal, and he understood that a proper investigation would at once be instituted. (Hear.) He hoped that it would bo so. Mr. Fern said that after the resolution which had been proposed he did expect that some information 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 Engliels and unfair t ) make such charges without bringing forward something to support them. As far as they h;td 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 instance of the tyranny or immorality of Captain Forbes to support a resolution of this attire, 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 Mr. Melville. The captain entered Mr. Melville's cabin, and the latter gentleman complained that he was kept short of provisions —in fact, half starved, and that the provisions were of a quality nst fit for a dog. To this the captain replied that they were a set of dirty dogs, and what they had was good enough. (Hisses ) M.. Greeve, jun., said that the partition sep rra:ing the first and second intermediate classes bad 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 anoisber 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 confirmed 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 he would be down on theta." Ar. Stark said that another instance of tyranny on the part of the captain was when one of the passengers brought forward some provisions to complain of their being short in weight. The captain, instead of hearing him, only told him to go forward to his c ►bin. The passenger remonstrated, and the captain shaved him violently forward, and :aid, " Go down to your cabin, or I will kick you down." Was that tyrannical conduct or not ? (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 (Mr. Stockdale's) mess, ifo. 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 in the morning. The second lady preferred the daylight, for she came back at 4 in the morning, and then only in her night dress. (" !" 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 it washundreds decent of p a e s r s epnrgo proper, he o r would wh et h ask r, any if t one present if 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,Ne. 8 , passed a resolution requests 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 another word he should be pat in irons instanter. He was in formed in reply that if be 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 hai 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 ing. During the first part of the voyage they had never received more than two quarts, and latterly not more than a quart and a half, hardly more than enough to wash with. The quality of the water, which was had at first, became better, and soon afterwards they got some filters. Further on in the passage the allowance of suga r was stopped for nearly a week, and when they remon strated, instead of sugar they got molasses, although not a word about molasses was said in the dietary scale. They refused the molasses, and were then put on half rations of moist sugar, of a quality that he felt assured no one in that room would use. It was apparently the 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 this be could not 'do it,- that"the sugar -had been given (silt' by order of the captain. He (Mr. Stockdale) mid ' ,that ii: Was Wont ougontloaaaly to offer them ouch auger Mr. Charles said that Miss 124 a similar indut gence allowed to bee. She waithe doctor's lady. Her luggage was taken away with thelitil bags. The questien was then PO 4 1teseteelteeL • neesii, and the amendment declared io hecartiedi= l- • • - - • ;Mr. Gotkin moved the second resolution :—" Re solved, That it is not only the general impression of the passengers by the Schomberg, 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 be not come up ? No, he indulged too much in his own p!ervures to care fur the safety of his passengers. He did not wish to say much againit the captain, how ever, for they had been at variance on board the ship, but he felt that the public at large 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—l, and tell me when she is on the beach." If such were the words he used, was it not deign rather than negligen - e which cast her ashore ? It might be asked why was he at variance with the captain. It was because he (Mr. Gotkin) would not sauctien 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 who 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 that, 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 tha-, and not be bothering him. Mr. Btockdale 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 had 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 his (Mr. Stockdale's) opinion the keel roust have gone over a portion of it. Oa another occa,ion, on meeting with another vessel, he, without any specific purpose, rail so close that he carried away the signal haul yards. (" Oh," and "Shame.") He afterwards; male a joke of it. Previous to the ves sel stranding he felt greatly alarmed, for the general im pression atuunest the passengers was that, they were in some danger, and even the doctor himself admitted that it was land they saw. Attempo, were made to awaken the watch ; and he saw the trees even, and informed the captain of it, when he came on the forecastle with his night glass in his band. It was more than ten minutes after that that any preparation was made to "'bout ship," and the vessel, when she did strike, went on the reef in such a manner that it would be almost impossible to get her off again. Mr. Johnson, a miriner, said that if the anchor had been ready to drop when the vessed missed stays she might have been saved. The chain cage hid been gut up tour or five d sets before they made the land, but it was never bent, 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 had been there from 10 o'clock, and many of the passengers had seen land a-head. He told a man naine Cavanagh to awaken the watch, who were asleep. Cavanagh (who was a passenger to Syd ney) roared out that there was land a-hea I, 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 se 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 from his want of confidence in the captain, and from his proceedings on the previous evening. Such was his impression then, and so it remained. The captain had once tereatened to put him in irons because he looked at him ; he had uo 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. had just uttered. He was not a nautical man, and knew waning of navigation, but he stated his own impressioise freely, and was ready at any time to assert them, and prove them, it that was of any use. (Cheery.) The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. Carpenter moved the third resolution—" 'Diet this meeting is of opinion that the contracts entered into between James B 6 net and Co., of Liverpool, and the passengers to the b pr o visions the they had Schonberg, have rece i ved trot they been w fulfilled." f l r fi e l e n d o . t " As fit for use. Tee preserved potatoes were toieraele, but even they were sueh 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 taih's special favourites in the s.cond cabin could not touch it. Mr. Conolly seconded the resolution. Mr. Charles said that they were led to believe that they ►ere to have a bath ruom, but how had that pre mise been kept ? The bath-room was turned ►nto a dun geon fur a ►na-lwan. Voice--" What male hi►n ma i ?") 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 provisions had been served out to tuem. For instance, they had fourducks 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 ofte❑ had soup that stank, and meat that was tainted. Alter the strong inducements which the Black B line ha . I hell out to them, and the way in which they had been fulfilled, be felt that nothing too severe could be said against them. As to the provisions, the water supplied r►as scarcely drinkable ; the Hock and Moselle ran oat, except a couple of dozen, which the cap s tain retained for his own use ; and the sherry was so bad that they had once or twice to send it back. As to the meat, it was always " porki pork, pork." They had, in short, an infamous steward, and a blackguard cock— two very great evils on board a vessel. (Laughter.) Mr. Keleon would add to what Mr. Wharton had said that during the latter part of the voyage they had been fed o❑ pork, although plenty of poultry remained. He would also remark that the chief steward on board the Schoenberg was a ntan who had been disgraced and dis missed from the James Baines. _ _ The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. Stockdale moved the fourth resolution—" That a deputation be appointed to wait on his Excellency the officer administering the Government, Praying that an investigation be held into the circumstances attending the loss of the Schomberg, and the property of the pas sengers." Mr. Belson 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 Schom berg to be forwarded to Melbourne." This was seconded by Mr. &dam, and carried. Dr. Milton moved a vote of thanks to the passengers of the Schomberg who had taken the necessary steps to bring this matter fully before the public. Mr. M`Gregor seconded this resolution, which was supported by Mr. Porter, and also carried. A deputation was then appointed; and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings.

THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, April 2.—The Royal Mail Company's .team-ship Parana, Capt. Wilson, sailed this afternoon with the mails for the West Indies, Mexico, and the Pacific, 88 passengers (among whom are Baron Duval and General Delva), 5,0001, in specie, jewellery value 1,0001., and a full a rzo of general mer chandise. The Peninsular and OrientaliCompany's screw steam-ship Pera, Captain Soy, will leave on Friday with th e East India, China, and Mediterranean mails. Tilt- Eixine, Captain Joy, with the homeward portion of the India Mails, is expected about the same day.

Are yeu ,able to give a list of the properties pur chasd by the late Mr. Fa Heir in the Encumbered Es tates Court ?-r-Yes, I Can give you it. Are you able to state how be disposed of them ?—I am. He sold the greater portion of them; and he also assigned a portion to the London 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 Bauk ? Witness—He did. Ae well as I remember, the date was March, '55... 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 giving any s,cu . tity to toe Tipperary Bsnk ? Witnrss—Thty were not made fur that purpose, to my knowledge. Mr. LaWless—Are you acquainted with the persmal property of Mr. 3adleir ?—No, not. intimately ; I heard he p.ssessed a great ma.iy shares in the Sw as, Swedish, and Riwan railways, and 'patters of that kind. Master—Will you be able to let us know the arrears of rent due for 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 Batik. 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 Loudon. 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 matte's 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. Kennedy (to Mr. Lawless)—l think there were three purchases of property in the Encumbered Estates Court - made by Mr. James Sadleir. Two of these were in his own name, ant one was in the name of a third party ; the first was the house quarter of Coolnamuck, about Augut, 1852, fur 8,500/. ; that was made by himself and in his own name, and the purchase•deed was exe cuted. He has since been in possession of it. I could not state the rental. The greattr part of that property is hi his own hands. He has a steward 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 toe nds in the county of lipperary. 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 executed to himself. The other property is cattail Kilconnell, near Cashel, and the Purchase money was 5,3001. The eon veyenee was exe cuted to a Mr. Farmery J. Law, of London. I do not know how it happened that the conveyance wa,s exe cuted to Nir. Law, Mr. Lawless.—Have you the means of ascertaining from what source Mr. James Sadleir procured the per °base money of those three estates ? Witness.—l have not the slightest idea. Examination continued.—At present it would be hard to tell the rental of the Kilconnell estate ; I think it is over 8001. a-year, subject 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 furnish all. In the last- nentioned property the tenancies have been charged since the Fate. Mr. James Sadleir has been in the re ceipt of tie r en t s o f t h e Ki lconnell estate. M r. La w never went i n t o possess i on of i t. Master.--Do you kno w if M r . S a dl e i r h as any one i n charge o f t h e unoccupied portisn of it ? Witriess.—Mr. Byrne, of Blackrock, 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 used in the appointment of the agent, but practically and beneficially he was appointed for Mr. James Sadleir. Mr. Lawless.—lt was not Mr. Law who paid the purchase ❑coney. Witnei,.—N,), the money was Mr. Sadleir's. Mater.—When you were asked whether Mr, Law was aware of the ma! ter or not, you said emphatically, "He is nose." WA less—l did not at the moment remember that I had rectived a letter from him in connection wit's 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. Jas. Sadleir has another estate in Tipperary, called Ballynalode, which he had previous to his marriage. I believe it is settled. According to the English practice, where property is settled there is one deed for the lady and another for the gentleman, and I te a counterpart of Mr. Sadleir's deed. I believe he got 10,0001. with Mrs. Sadleir. It was veAsd in trus tees. I don't remember the terms of the settlement. Master—As far as I could understand the settlement, it gives her ti life use ith remainder to Mr. Sadleir in ca , e he shall survive her, and in default of survivorship, and in the event of there being. no children, the property goes back to Mrs. Sadleir's rektives, 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 Mitchelstown ? Witness --It is. Mr. MeldGn—With the exception of some at a silver- smith's in London. Mr. 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 injunction at the suit of Lord Lorton. Mr. Morrogh was then sworn and examined by Mr. Lawless as follows :—The date of the mortgage of Lord Glengall's property is April, 1847 ; it was made by Lord Glengal! to Mr. A. Norris, the amount being 10,500/. ; there are no trusts declared on the face of the deed. Mr. Lawless- Was it intended as a trust for any per sees or any company ! Witness—l have no means of stating, but my general impression is that the rsaney was the property of the Tipperary Bank. There has net 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 Glengall Witness—lle 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 murtgage. 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 ?-11e 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 I—There has been. Was it on draughts on that account that the money was advanced to Lord Glengall ?—Ne ; that account was flat opened for some time 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 1347 by L rd Glengall, to im peach the transaction, on the ground of his having been overcharged some interest, and he subNequently signed 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 Tipp er . ary Bank affecting Lord King.ton's estate there is a certain number of policies of insurance. Do you know in whose possession they are ? Witness—ln 1849 they were taken by the late Mr. Sadleir to London, as appears by a registry-book of se 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—AA I undoretend yon 3 the money was fore Mr. Li. , riespi—Did you find any deedi connected with the affairs of the Tipperary Bank ? Witness•--No ; cave the deed of partnership, which has been lodged in the Master's office. I think I found a manuscript copy of the bank deed, which has been lodged in the Master's office. Th 3 examination of Mr. Morrogh here closed. Naval and Military Intelligence. We have received advices from the squadron off Kertch up to the 17th ult., by which we learn that on 27th of February the screw steamers Arrow, Lynx, and Snake, each mounting four guns, left St. Paul's Straits for the Sea of Azoff, under the command 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 mage. A heavy gale of wind set in on the 6th ult. The Dauntless had two anchors down, with five sbaakles of cable out on the port bower and two on the starboard anchor, and was lying alongside the transport ship 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 atter 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 Kertch or: 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 st niilar rank, made prisoner at Kr ebourn, was nominated for the command of the Tureish Contingent. On being relieved by the Leopard steam-frigate, whose arrival off Kertch was shortly expected, the Dauntless was to pro teed to Malta, to undergo a refit Thera are now assembled at P. r'sinou Is, as an in-ta . mint of the British Baltic fleet, 16 ships of the line, 7 steam-frigates, 8 steam-sloops, 8 screw despatch-vessels, and 70 screw gun-boats. The fleet at Spithead was augmented yesterday by the arrival of the James Watt, 91, Capt. G. Eliot, C. 8., A.D.C., from Plymouth ; the E-k, 21, Capt. Sir R. I.lPClure, C. 8., from the Nore ; the Heels, 6, paddle sloop, Commander Aplin, from Liverpool, with two new v.un-boats; the Vesuvius, 6, paddle-sloop, Comrnan!er Here ; the Victor, 6, steam gun•vessel, Commander De Horsey; and the Magnet and Manly gun-boats, Rowley and Arthur, all from the eastward ; making the fleet at Poitsmouth already acw , unt to 16 sail-of-the-line, 7 stun -frigates, 8 steam-sloops, 8 steam gun-vessels, and 70 steam gun-boats—total 109. Ail the gun-boats which were exercised the day before were put through similar evolutions yesterday, and were watched by large as , etublages 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 Hope soon after. The Magfcienne, 16, paddle-frigate, Capt. Vansittart, left Spithead yesterday morning for the eastward. The Resolute steam-transport, No. 214, left Spithead yesterday morning for the Ea-t, with supernumerary tnlrines and boys br the fleet, a few cavalry, and about 50 of the British Italian Legion. The Algiers, 91, Captain Codrington, C.D., got up steam yesterday at Portsinoutlito try her engines, after a refit, preparatory to rejoining the fleet at Spithead. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Sultan, which arrived at Southampton yesterday with the Peninsular mails, we receive the following items of naval and military intelligence from Gibraltar :—The steam-transport Berwick, which left the Bay on the 6th ult., with wiules and horses for the Dardanelles, encoun tered fearful weather in the Gulf of Lyons, and was (Alined to put into the pert of Carthagena, where she arrived on the Bth with the loss of one of the animals. Tee Berwick walawaiting 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 on 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-head. Three of the animals on b aid perished, owing to the severity of the weather. The steam-transport Amity, eight (lays from London, with Government stores for Badattkva, arrived out during the night of the 20th, having also experienced heavy weather, which carried away her main boom and stove in her cutter. After coaling and caking in water she sailed for her destina• tion on the 211 ult. The steam-tran-port 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 Min den arrived at Gibraltar from Malta with shot and shell, which she wou d discharge at Gibraltar, pre viously to sailing for England. The I.nperial, with stores for the East, arrived oat on the 24th ult. The Government transport Es,-t 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 memberi of the select committee for the purpose of testing the efficiency of some explosive shells, the invention of a Mr. Martin. Tile invention consists of cast-iron shells, constructed in a peculiar wanner, and filled with liquid iron. Some specimens were fired and burst with very good effect, scattering the fragments over a consider able space, and settinl fire to the wooden butt and other buildings which had been erected for the purpose of the experiment. A second invention, of a similar kind, was put through certain trials at the same time. This was the property of of two Frenchmen who have arrived at Woolwich with the special intention of sub jecting their invention to the opinion of the authorities of the War Department at Woolwich Arsenal. It con sisted also of an iron shell filled with some fiercely binn ing materials, but which, on undergoing several tests, turned out a complete failure as far as the present ex periments extended. Lieutenant-Colonel Henry, R.A.., left 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 Beige 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 ; John Hothatn, midshipman, to the Duke of Wellington ; li . B. S.

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 Clontnel immediately, there to relieve the sth Lancashire Militia, who march to Dublin. The Rifles and the 69th are in dail y expe ctation 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.

He served subsequently off the port of Cadiz; and in the conse of the year la,t mentioned and of 1799 and Isoo be joined the Cerberus, 32, Capts. John Drew and Jae. Macuatnara, Cambrian, )0, Capt. Hon. Arthur Kaye Legge, and E n dy m i on, 40 , Capt. Philip . Chas. Durham. In, those ship s h e cru i ze d with great activity on the western and Irish stations, in the Chan ,. el and Bey of Biscay, and on the coast of :Spain. In the Cerberus he contributed to the capture, among other yes se;s, of L'Epervier, of 16 guns and 14 ) men, and Le Renard, of 18 guns and 189 men ; and on Oct. 20, 1799, he participated in a very gallant action fought near Cape Ortega] between that ship and five Spanish frigates, one of whom was completely beaten. The enemy on this occasion had a merchant fleet of 80 sail under' their Conioy, pro. tected also by two brig -corvettes. In the Cambrian Mr. Symonds accompeeie I the expelition sent under Sir E. Fellow and M‘j r-GeneralMaitla to cooperate with the French Royalists an Cul/11311Y ill Quiberon Bay and the Morbi an. A taining the rank of Hew enant Oct, 14,1K01, he was eppoihted in that capacity-June 21, 1802, to the Belleisle, - 4, a • pleyed in the blockade of Toulon and in chasing the French fleet-March 18.:4, to the Revel Sev. leo, DO, stationed in the Mediterranean, under the flag of 'Sir R.

Strachan, off Flushing-Nov. 2 in the sain• year, to the Pique, 36, Capt. Hon. A. Maitland, under whom he served as first lieutenant in the Channel, off Lisbon, and in the West Indies, until Jan. 1816, and as. listed in making several captures-and Jan. 1, 1855, in the capacity last mentioned, to the Royal George, yacht, Captains Hon. Th os. Bl a d en Capel and Sir Michael Soy mour. In the summer of 1806, 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 Willanmez, 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, including La Favorite, of 14 guns and 70 men, Le Bourgainville, of 18 grins and 93 men (taken after a long chase and a running fight of 45 minutes), La Glaneuse. of 16 guns aid 80 men, and Le Gleneur, of 10 guns and 60 men. From 1819 until appointed, as above, to the Aeyal George, Lieutenant Symonds filled the situation of magis trate and intendant of the police, and captain of the ports, at Malta ; and on Oct. 4, 1825, he was promoted to the rank of commander. About this period he was allowed, natter, we are told, a very unusual and restrictive pen: lty, to construct a corvette, the Coithenine. To her he wad appointed Dec. 4, 1826 ; aid so great was the success which attended him in the different experimental cruizes he made during the next twelve months, that he was advanced, as a reward, to post-rank by a commission bearing date Dec. 5, 1827. At the commencement of 1831 Captain Symonds was enabled, through the munificence of 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, 2P ; Snake, 16, and others. Oil Juns 9, 1832, he was offered and accepted the appointment of Surveyor of the Navy, which he continued to fill until 1847. It is here worthy of remark that out of 180 vessels of different kinda built during that period (all of them upon the principle of the Pantaloon) not one has yet foundered. In June, 1835, Captain Symonds received a very flattering letter front Mr. Tufnell, 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 winch Captain Symonds holds, the able manner in which ho 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 of knight. hood, which was given to 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, 1847, for ' the valuable qua. lities of his several ships, and for improvements introduced by him into the navy.' Be was elected a F.R.S., June 4. 1835, and nominated a C. B. on the civil list May 1, 1848." THE MILITIA.
