George Forrester and the eminent engineers, have completed the manufacture of a monster mortar for her Maj.-sty's Government, capable of throwing a shell 18 inches in diameter. This immense piece of ordnance was east at the Vauxhall Foundry from charcoal pig iron, received from the :Royal Arsenal, at Woolwich, 0, production of the Briti.h colony at Nova Scotia, from the mines of the Acadian Iron Company there, and is, therefore, very important, as developing a new brand of our colonial industry, which may prove of great ser vice both for warlike purposes and the arts of peace The weight of the casting was of the enormous (pant& of 25 tons, and the weight, as complete, is 14i tons. The length is 7 feet 6 inches, the diameter 3 feet 9 inches, the bore 18 inches, and the diameter acros the trunnions is 6 feet 7 inches, the diameter of tb. trunnions being 18 inches. The mortar will pas through the town on Monday, on its way to the Royal Arsenal, at Woolwich. The Lightning has arrived at Liverpool, with advices from Melbourne to the 28th of December. She brings 12,000 ounces of gold dust. The.Gipsy Bride hence had arrived out on the 26th of December. The Schoenberg is reported to have been wrecked off Cape Ocway. Passengers and crew swell. The Red Jacket has arrived out. The political advices are unimportant. The Legislative Council of New South Wales bad been prorogued. The demand for money was not active, and but few transactions had taken place. In consequence of large speculations in breadstuff's, tobacco, spirits, wine, (ITC., there wax considerably more animation throughout the various markets. The grain and flour markets quiet ; the price of flour was 361. for firsts, 281. for seconds. In Hobart Town the decline iu breadstuffs was progressing. Price of gold, 3/. 143. Gd. The ship Blackwall for London, has 88,000 ounces of gold on freight. She left on the 13th of December. The Red Jacket, for Liverpool, was intended to leave on the 18th of January. _ . Through the courtesy of Messrs. Baines and Co. we have received our correspondent's letter via Cork : " Melbourne, Dec. 25. "Havin g heard that in consequence of some 9 damage which the Lightning had sustained at sea a survey had been held upon her, and that she might be detained for some days, I wrote by the Blackwell, advertised to sail on the 22d inst. ; but, as the Lightning will sail to-morrow morning, and, as the B'eeikwall is still in port, I shall rewrite an account of recent events, and my letter by the Blackwell may, probably, be put into the fire. "By the James Baines (25th of November) and the Emma (10th of December) T have already put you in possession of the leading events connected with the throes and travail of what the official members call responsible Government. The Con stitutional Act passed here is now, as you know, the schedule of an act of Parliament, and therefore is parcel thereof,' and to be ' read therewith.' By the sth section of the act the Governor is directed to proclaim it within one month after a copy shall have been received in the colony, and it is to ' take effect from the day of such proclamation.' But the last section of the schedule bill enacts that 'the foregoing provisions of this act shall have no force or effect until (among other things) the entire management of the waste lands of the Crown and the proceeds thereof shall he vested in the Legis lature of the said colony.' This section is recited in the preamble of the act of Parliament, and an interpretation clause' in the act explains the word 'Legislature' to mean the new Legislature called into existence by the new act. This Legislature cannot have its birth until the present Council shall have passed an electoral act. " The present or rather late officers of the Go vernment—for we have an interregnum—chose to act upon the first section, and to hold that the new constitution came into force and effect on the 23d of November ; but the representative members considered that the affirmative word of the fifth section were merely .directory, and they were en tirely overridden by the negative words of the last section, which were enactive and imperative, and that the full-blown constitution could not come into operation until such a legislature was in exist enee as to satisfy the interpretation clause of the new act, the only body that could take the ' entire Control and management of the waste lands of the Crown and the proceeds thereof.' " Entertaining these views, after the official gen tlemen had gone through a sort of pantomime of resigning their offices and receiving new commis sions, being sworn in anew on the 30th of Novem• ber, the representative members met together and framed a set of resolutions, a copy of which I have already Sent you, together with the Governor's minute. These resolutions were moved on the 4th of December by Dr. Greeves, one of the city mem bers, were debated two days, but were lost, the Government having a majority of one. "This may be deemed the commencement of an organised oppowtion. "On the 18th, in pursuance of a previous notice, Mr. William Nicholson, member for the metropoli tan county of North Bourke, moved a resolution in favour of the ballot. This motion was not made in concert with the representative members gene rally, and there was no need whatever for treating it as a question to try the strength of the Govern ment ; but Mr. Haines, the Chief Secretary, an nounced that the members of the Government were unanimously opposed to it, and anti-ballot was un derstood to be a Government principle. The sub ject was debated on two consecutive evenings, and was carried by a majority of , 33 to 25—a very majority, when it is considered that the Govern ment has the power of appointing 22 members of the House, of whom 11 may be officials, and it has actually exercised that power to the extent of ap pointing 18, though some of their nominees voted for the ballot. "On Thursday, the 20th, Mr. Haines announced to the house that he and his colleagues had tendered their resignations, and that they only held office until their successors could bo appointed ; and on the following day Mr. William Nicholson, the mover of the ballot resolution, was 'sent for.' The morning papers found no difficulty in making a programme of a Ministry founded on fact, or rather on the position occupied by certain names in the public mind. "The work which Mr. Nicholson has to perform is one of considerable difficulty. In the first place, not one of the men he must take have had any ex pectation of being suddenly called upon to make a Ministry. Their opposition has not been conducted like that of men who, being for a time, by a turn of the wheel of fortune, out, have ever present to their minds the probability or possibility of being again in. Again, only one on the opposition side has had experience in office of a Ministerial charac ter—namely, Mr. Chapman. But then, on the other hand, the experience of the official party is not great, except that of Mr. Stawell, the Attor ney-General, and some of them have turned out failures. Some of the Opposition, however, hav ing been accustomed to wield very extensive affairs of business will soon find that affairs of State are not more difficult. Another difficulty is that Mr. O'Shanassy, Dr. Greevcs, and Mr. Fawkner, who have acted with the representative members, voted against the ballot. They are said to be greatly mortified by the result, and with the exception, perhaps, of Dr. Greeves, will do all they can to damage Mr. Nicholson's Administration. " And now let me introduce you to a peculiar phase of social and political life in our colonies. Mr. Nicholson is, perhaps, the very best man in that house to command respect for his administra tion. His integrity is spotless ; he is endowed with common sense in no ordinary degree, and he has that administrative capacity which the architects of a commercial fortune cannot be destitute of. He has an appropriate command of good mother English, uttered with a not unpleasing Cumber land accent. Although ho commenced life as a grocer, it would be very difficult to select from the PSG members of the House a man so well en titled to the confidence of the House and the coun try—and he has it. " If the Ministerial defeat had taken place on the resolutions, the member sent for would most likely have been O'Shanassy, and he, like Nichol son, is a colonial phenomenon of not unfrequent occurrence. He is a man of considerable ability, good power of speaking, and untiring industry. He is in, easy circumstances—the results of a small shop, between a slop-shop and a millinery shop, in M e lb o urne. This he keeps up still, managed, I believe, by some of his family ; whereas, Mr. Ni cholson has exchanged the shop for the counting house and the craft of the merchant. Now, what I wish to point out is that these men are estimated for their personal qualifications, and none but a few boobies ever think of the shop, except as a for ‘ m ‘ N at ° io tli n in o g f source of credit. understood oth o - e d sun a d s sto this afternoon that all Mr. Nicholson's difficulties has tl) e been Ministry, w was had vanished into thin air, and that to-morrow he will be prepared to submit his list to Sir Charles Hallam, who has been very ill for some days, but is now better. The Government have had seven public officers in' the house—naraely, the Chief Secretary, the Treasurer, the Attorney-General, the rSolicitor-General, the Chief Commissioner of Trade and Customs, the Commissioner of Crown Lands and Surveyor-General, and the Commis sioner of Public Works. Of these Captain Clarke (formerly Denison's private secretary), Surveyor- General, and alsO Commissioner of Crown Lands, is, it is reported, willing to retain his office of Sur veyor-General, and to leave his Parliamentary functions to the Commissioners of Crown Lands. The Colonial Engineer and Commissioner of Public Works, Captain Paisley, will do the like ; and the following is believed to constitute the Ministerial list : Colonial Secretary—W. Nicholson. Treasurer—Goodman. Attorney-General—Chapman. SolicitorGeneral---Molesworth (?) Trade and Ciistimas—M`Culloch. - Crown Lands and Survey-L.-Dr.% : Greeves (or Millar) and Captain Clarke. Public Works—Millar (or Dr. GreeVes) and Cap 7 tain Pasley. " The policy of this Ministry will probably be to pass an elector al act, and an act against bribery, and then dissolve and issue the new writs as soon l as possible. Measures of any importance, especially such as involve the expe n dit ure o f mon g y % ought to be left to the more perfectly- representative Legis lature. A portion of the present Council was elc cted. when the population of the colony was under 80 . ,000; another portion when it was about 150,000 ; the members for the diggings alone represent the new state of things. The p o p u l a ti on must now b e a t least 320,000. " I hope you will not consider the above to be too large a dose of local politics. Oar colonial vanity makes us believe that details connected with our inauguration of a newpoJonial system ought to interest the metropollrlif nearly half. a hundred colonies and dependencies. " I ought to add that the interpretation put by the law officers of the Crown in Sydney upon clauses of the New South Wales Constitution, ex actly similar to those upon whiah I ha v e commented, coincides with that of our Opposition,' and not with that of the late law officers of the Crown.

It originated in an inn, which it destroyed, with the Adelphi and se veral other buildings, mostly of wood. Unfortu nately, several lives were lost, You have most likely had particulars from the newspapers. " On the 16th and 17th instant, a calamity not less destructive of life and property occurred in a heavy flood, of which the fallowing is the news paper account : " ' On the evening of the former day, and again on li the latter, a thunderstorm was followed by a tremendous shower of hailstones as large as marbles, and by a deluge of rain. The gullies were soon flooded by to,rents, and the ordinary channels (roved quite insufficient to carry off the water ; houses and stows were carried away ; the deep shafts, sunk With much toil and at great ex pense, were filled to the brim and bad their works un dermined, and piles of washing stuff were swept away. The destruction of property consequent on this flood is estimated at 120,0001. By this visitation, too, there was a lamentable loss of life, six persons having been drowned on the evening of the 16th. The severity of this calamity, it is stated, would have been much dimi nished had proper precautions been taken to provide for the unimpeded flow of the water by its natural channels. The necessity of the erection of Ballarat into a munici pal ity is obvious fronatwo events.

Irwin, It N., Admiralty agent, we have dates from Alexandria, March 11 ; Malta, 14 ; Gibraltar, 18. The Alma brings 37 first-class pas sengers, 29 second, and 20 children. Among them are Major Ruse, 9th Lancers ; Drs. Steele and Harland ; Capains Rees, Toulon, and Ferris ; Lieut. \Voolridge, R.N. ; Major and Mrs. Mere dith ; Lieut. the Hon. A. Pennington, Rifle Brigade ; Lieut. Gould, 31st Regiment, and two distressed British seamen. Ou freight the Alma has 1 package of specie, value not stated, and a cargo consisting of 3 packages of jewellery, 66 chests and boxes of oranges, 91 packages of gum, 5 pack ages of elephants' teeth, 13 cases of shawls, 2 bales of cinnamon, 24 packages of samples, 10 boxes of dates, 219 bales of silk, 10 casks of Marsala, 84 packages of effects, and 122 packages of sundries. Darin e , the voyage the weather was remarkably fine, with light bead winds. On the outward voy age, on the 21 of March, when off the island of Galita, 10 waterspouts wore observed near the ship. After continuing for about half an hour some gradually disappeared, while others burst and discharged near the vessel. The weather during the clay had been squally, with heavy rain. It is seldom that so many of these phenomena are seen so numerous in the Mediterranean. The Alma passed several steamers and ships, but they did not make their numbers. At Alexandria were the Turkish steam-frigate Hadji Baba, a steam-sloop, name unknown, and the Pasha's yacht Faad Gahaad ; the Austrian frigate Venus sailed from Alexandria on the Bth instant. At Malta were Her Majesty's ships Royal Albert, Hannibal, Odin, Agamemnon, Princess Royal, Caracoa, Tribune, Terrible, Gladiator, Miranda, Hibernia, Medina, Firebrand, Triton, and Beagle, the Dutch frigate, De Ruyter, a Turkish frigate, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ship Camila (steam-transport), Vectis and Euxiue. Her Majesty's ships Viper and Medina sailed for Kertch on the 6th inst. ; the St. Jean d'Acre for Athens on the 10th, and the Highflyer for Con stantinople on the 11th inst. Our dates from Gibraltar are' to the 18th inst. Her Majesty's ship Ariel was lying in the bay. Her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Cossack, which had returned from a cruise to the eastward, sailed for England on the 17th inst. The steam-transport Sarah Sands, which arrived at Gibraltar on the 18th inst. from Liverpool, with artillerymen, horses, &c., landed 21 of the animals sick and in jured ; and, having filled up with mules from the depot in the garrison, started for her destination on the 15th. The Earl of Durham steam-transport sailed from Gibraltar for Malta and Constantinople, with camp equipage and provisions for the British army, ou the night of the 14th. The steam-trans port Norman, with, atillerymen and horses from Woolwich for Balaklava, sailed the same evening. The British steamer Karnak, seven days from . Liverpool, arrived at Gibraltar on the 15th inst. The steam-transport Hydaspes, six clays from Southampton, with horse artillery, &c., for the Crimea, reached Gibraltar on the 15th inst., and after coaling, resumed her voyage on the following day. The whole of the men were in excellent health and spirits, but five of the horses had pe rished, it is said, chiefly owing to defective venti lation, want of drainage, and the rough weather encountered on the passage. Two others died dur ing the night of the 15th, owing to the great heat on the lower deck which existed after the steamer had anchored. At Gibraltar every horse wag re moved from his stall, which was thoroughly cleansed, and the animals were well groomed. Capt. Hyde made every effort to remedy the defect in the venti lation and drainage, and it was believed bad so far sneceededas to preventfurther casualties. Thesteam transport Balbec, en route from the Crimea, sailed from Gibraltar for Spithead on the 17th. The Balbec brings 77 Russian guns, 132 barrels, 5 boxes, and 11 packages of gunpowder; which she took cu hoard at Balaklava, and the following pas sengers :—Majors Hope and Penton, Lieutenants Butler and Waller, Messrs. Hardinge, Belfield, Parkinson, and 35 others. The Swedish sloop-of war Lagerbjelke sailed for the westward on the morning of the 16th inst. The steam-transport Jura, with troops for the Crimea, passed Gibraltar on the 16th. The Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's mail steam-ship TiNus;with the Peninsular mails, left Gibraltar for Southampton, calling at Cadiz, Lisbon, &c., on the 15th inst. A melancholy accident took place on the 17th inst. at Gibraltar at one of the quarries on the north front by the explosion of a mine, by which two men were killed on the spot and another very seriously wounded. it appears that the mine was fired, but after some time, no explosion taking Naval and Military Intelligence. The Resolute steam-transport arrived at Spithead on I:Saturday evening frointhe Crmeawith invalids, and went inte the harbour yesterday afternoon and landed them. The Retribution, steam-frigate, :Capt. Fisher ; the Tartar, 21, stearn•fligate, Capt. Hugh Dunlop ; and the Desperate, 8, steam-sloop, C nminander Whit.., arrived at Portsmouth from Sheerness yesterday. The Cruiser, steam-sloop, Commander Douglas, the Archer, Commander Heathcoate, and the Conflict, Corn - mander Cochrane, arrived at Spithead yesterday morn ing from Plymouth. The Merlin, paddle-steamer, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday frnm the eastward. Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, Commander-in- Chief, inspected the Pearl on Saturday. - The pa - idle-wheel steam sloop Bulldog, 6, Commander Gordon, left Mamas° for Plymouth Sound on. Saturday morning, when she took in het powder,-and, iu.company with the screw steam-sloop Conflict, 8. Commander C. rane ; the screw steam-ship Cruiser, 17, Commander the Hon. George Douglas ; and the screw steam sloop Archer, 14, Capt, nrathcote, sailed for Portsmouth. The steam-tender Prospero, Master Commander Wool ley, and the steam-tender Avon, Second Master Palmer, (rein Portsmouth, arrived on Friday at Plymouth. The former having coaled sailed on Saturday for Pembroke. The steam gun-boat Ant, No. 40, with all her tim e! inery complete, was launched from Nu. 4 slip in the Devonpott dockyard on Saturday afternoon, in the pre sence 4f Port-Admiral Sir William Parker, and the prin cipal officers of the Arsenal. The Sc. George, 120, Capt. Harry Eyree,C.B., was t. , wed on Saturday by the Zephyr and Confiance from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze. Her crew will be paid down and sent on board those ships which are deficient of hands. Captain Eyres takes command of the screw steam-ship Exmouth, 91, and it is probable that many of his officers will join her with him. The screw steam-ship James Watt, 91, Capt. George Eliot, is appointed to leave Ilamoaze to-morrow, Tues day, for Plymouth Sound. The transport Diligence, from Pembroke, arrived on Saturday in Plymouth Sound, and was towed into Ha moaze by the steam-vessel Z...ohyr. Tenders for supplying 3,000 quarters of wheat to the Royal William Victualling-yard, at Plymouth, are ad vertised t , be received on Wednesday. Mr. Roberts, late Assistant Master Attendantat Ilaulbowline, will shortly enter on the duties of Master Attendant at this establish ment, in succession to Mr. J. W. Armstrong. The Mohawk screw despatch-steamer, Commander F. A. Close, has been detaked at Chatham, in consequence of some defects which had to be made good before she took her departure for Sheerness. The Surprise gun-vessel, Commander H. Vernon, is ordered to be fitted fur trta at Chatham to join the squadron of gun-boats. The Cormorant, Commander Bowden, is expected to arrive at Chatham this day, to be made ready for sea. In accordance with the new regulations, Mr. Clack worthy, accountant fro atm P c e b t a n t b b r a o m k e D D o a c c k k y y a t r t r d d , , a h n a d s e r. e nHaopbpbosi,n for merly tnerly in the Captain Superintendent's office, has been promoted to be a first-class clerk in the account's office. The whole of the depot of the 91st (Argyllshire) Regi ment, nambering nearly 500 men of all ranks, assembled on the parade ground at Chatham barracks on Friday to witness the presentation of medals to the non-commis stoned officers and men belonging to that corps, seho wer ) engaged in the Caffre war. 'fhe diet ibution of the metals was made ley Lieut.-Col. B. E. M. Gordon, who is in command of the depot ; each matt, on hia name being called, advancing to the front and receiving his medal. Col. Gorton briegly addrt seed the men, and ad verted to the Caffre war,. in which trying campaign the whole of the troooe engaged had so signally distinguished theensel , es, notwithstanding that they had to con tend w ith a subtle enemy and a new kind of war fare. He also alluded in eulogistic terms to the valour and endurance of tha British soldier under such try ing circumstances and in an enemy's country. The trallant colonel having finished his address, such alien as had received Vat Caffre medal were marched back to their quarters from the pat ade-graund, the band . playing tles.od Scotch " The Campbell's are earning." The interesting ceremony was witnessed by a large number ef officers belonging to the garrison. The largest number of invalids from the Crimea who have been received at Chatham for some time arrived by ep a jai train at Strood on Saturday afternoon last, con sisti lg. of ruen f•orn nearly every n-giineet no d' Ferving in the Mt•t. They arrived at Portsmouth fr ,rn the hotit Is at lialaklava and Scutari in the Andes, No. 100. steam transport, which port They reached on the ISth inst., in charge of Captain G. Browser, 95th Regi ment. The A. , .des brought home 120 invalids, some of whom left the vessel at P,rtsmouth, and 84 were for warded by railway to Chatham, in inedieal charge of Second-Class Surgeon 0. S. Donnell. The following officers who have been invalided home also arrived in the Andes :—Lieutenant A. G. M. Moore, 7th Dragoon Gusr.ls ; CaAain R. Bailie, 44th Regiment ; Carain W. R. Williamson, 48th Regiment; and Lieutenant W. G. D. Massy '(Redan Massy), 19th Regiment. The Andes encountered strong head winds during her voyage from Gibraltar, and was also short of coals. On the arrival of the invalids at Strood, they were as sisted to the ambulance waggon and the spring vans by a fatigue party from the barracks, and, after the usual medical examination had been made, those requiring eurgo al treatment were taken into the supplemental hospital at Brompton barracks, and the remainder sent to the Invalid depot at St. Mary's, to await their dis charge. Six insane men, who arrived with the invalids, were taken to the lunatic hospital at Fort Pitt. Colonel Henry Jervis, commanding the provisional battalion at Chatham, on Saturday afternoon inspected the whole of the men belonging to the depots of the 12th Itegirneet and 26th Carueronians, under orders fur embarkation, the former to Australia, and the latter to join the head-quarters of their regiment a - . Bermuda. A detachment of the 26th C smeroniane, consisting c f 1 sergeant, 1 drummer, and 13 privatee, have arrived at Chatham Barracks from Tilbury-fort, where they were relieved by a detachment front the depot of the 40th Re giment._ Twenty-four invalids belonging to the depot of the 22d Regiment arrived at Chatham on Friday afternoon, and were taken into the general hospital at Fort Pitt. The screw transpdrt Bacchante, No. 112, having taken in the greatest portion of her freight at Deptford, con• sisting of naval stores for the Bait, yesterday received orders t i proceed to Woolwich, t" fill up with 1311 tons of war inaterialg. Having taken up her moorings off the Royal Arsenal, she received a counter order per telegrao to get up seam and return to Deptford. Tula and other circumstances lead to the conclusion that a peaceful ter mination to present hostilities in the Crimea is not far distant. For some days past the proof guns and mortars at Woolwich have been fired by means of the galvanic pro cess, which was introduced experimentally sonie time back. The discharge of the various pieces in succession takes place regularly, and with much grea'er rapidity and precision than by the former system. The 'portion of the invalids disembarked from on board the Great Tasmania at Portsmouth, and which belong to Woolwich—namely, 80 privates of the Royal Artil lery, arrived there on Saturday by train, and having been medically tested were admitted to quarters. The gun-boats Roebuck, Spanker, Thrasher, Leveret, and Mackerel were expected to arrive at Woolwich on Saturday from the builders, to be rigged and fitted out. The Roebuck, a new eiass of gunboat, intended for great speed, was launched on Saturday, at 3 p.m., from the building yard of Messrs. J. Sc - ttt Russelland Co., at Millwall. She was immediately taken down to Woolwich, where she will receive her machinery. The ceremony of launching wasperformed by Miss Austin, in the presence of Captain-Superintendent Austin and other naval autho rities of Deptford dockyard. The Roebuck is a vessel of 851 tons and 350-horse power, and the following are her prinsipal dimensions :—Length between perpendiculars, 200 f- ; do. of'keel for, tonnage, 179 fr. gin. ; breadth, extreme, 301 t. 2in. ; do. for tonnage ' 29tt. 10io. ; do., moulded, 29ft..4in. ; depth in hold, l4ft. 6in. ;.builders' tonnage, 851 10 94. The Wanderer, 4, new screw steam gun-boat of 200- horse power (nominal), Commander John B. Luce, com pleted her ccaling alongside the floating depot in Salt pan-reach on Saturday last, and left Sheerness for the east coast of Scotland, with orders permitting her to visit the Scotch ports, Commander Alan H. Gardner, of the Driver, 6, paddle wheel steam-sloop, left Sheerness on Saturday last in the Wildfire, steam-tender to the Waterloo, for Wool. wich, to proceed to sick quarters. On bis leaving all the officers and ship's company assembled on deck, and ex pressed their hearty good wishes for his early recovery and return again to his consmanc l . On the Wildfire casting off from alongside the Driver the whole harbour echoed with their cheers, which were continued until the Wildfire rounded the Garrison Point. Commander Gardner has thoroughly endeared himself to his officers and men, and may boast of as smart a chip's company and of as the service can produce. The Driver has received nine months' provisions, stores, &c., and is now under sailing orders, waiting Admiralty instructions for her destication. The Horatio, 8, screw steam-ship, Captain the Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane, C. 8., has had a very satisfactory trial of her machinery. Her officers ara drawing stores for their respective classes, and she, with the Driver, re mains under sailing orders. In consequence of some slight defects and derange. ments of the machinery of the fhating batteries Thun der, Captain George G. Randolph, and the Trusty, Captain Frederick A. Campbell, on the last trial of their engines, they will not be ready to leave Sheerness .-until Wednesday or Thuisday next for Portsmouth. The Victor, 6 guns, new screw steam-vessel, Com mander T. R. Algernon De Horsey, No. 1 of the de spatch squadron, had a very satisfactory trial of her en gines on Saturday last in the fitting basin. The Earotas, 12 gulls, screw mortar-ship • is ordered Mr. Jonathan Aylen, Master-Attendant of Sheerness, ritres by Admiralty order on the 31st of this month, and is to be superseded by Mr. James Brown, late As sistant Master-Attendant of Devonport yard. Nearly 200 seamen belonging t.) her Majesty's ship Russell, now stationed in Cork harbour; were on Friday presented with medals for services in the Crimea and Mark Sea fleet during the war. The quarter deck of the Russell was tastefully fitted up for the occasion. There were present Vice-Admiral Sir George Rose Sat , torius, Lady S-.rtorius, and family ; Maj9r-General R. C. Mansel. Mrs. Ma9sel, and family ; and a number of captains in the Royal navy resident in Queenstown and neighbourhood, with their families ; there were also present several military officers who had served in the Crimea. Cap!ain Scott addressed the uien, telling them that her Majesty had given glad a:. tnedals to a large number of her gallant sailorA and soi Biers, of whom some mere their own shipmates, then present, but that it was impost:ihle for her to per sonally to all in the service. He was anxious, therefore, to impress upon them the nature of the distiuctio.n con ferred upud them, which was a proof that their services were known and acknowledged and rained by their Queen and country. The names of the men were then called over, and the medals presented to each by Lady Sartorius, Mrs. Manse!, Mrs. Fanshawe, and Mis. Fulford, the baud of .the Russell playing the nati.,nal anthem and other appropriate music. After the medals had been distribute.l the ship's company gave three hearty cheers for the Queen, the ladies, and their captain. EXECUTIONS IN CHINA. The following interesting letter has been received by Major Young of Inverness from a nephew resi dent in Canton. It is dated Canton, June 7. The executioner's sword referred to has been received, and is a powerful • instrument, about two feet in length, with a long handle capable of being wielded by both hands. The blade is strong and wedge shaped, not unlike a large butcher's knife l—" My curiosity took me with a party the other day to see a sight which I never wish to see again. You have heard of the rebellion in thii neighbourhood; the rebels are worsted, and the mandarins are re taliating upon them for all the trouble they have given them. Every one who cannot give an ac count of himself is seized and thrown into priSon ; if, within three days, no person well known in Canton comes forward and answers for him, he is taken out, with.a gang of others, to the execution ground, and beheaded. Since the late disturb ances, about three or four months ago, not less than 10,000 have lost their lives in this narrow strip of ground, less than half an acre in size. Is not this almost too horrible for conception ? I will describe it to you as I saw it. The ground is situated about two miles down the river, so we had to go there by boat. 'Our Party consisted of four Europeans and my Chinese teacher, whom I took with me as a guide. We were told the execution would take place at nine ; but, on arriving in the neighbourhood, we found that it would be 10 o'clock, so the teacher after showing us the ground which was to be the scene of the tragedy, took us to a shed near the spot where we could wait, for the sun was very hot. Hero we lighted some scented joss sticks to purify the air. In a few minutes we had a bevy of China men and boys round our resting place ; they were very curious, and asked many questions. At last they swelled into such a crowd that we were obliged to charge them over the threshold, and posted the teacher at the door to keep them out side. They remained outside scrutinising us with. apparently as much wonder as if we had.beeu the criminals about to be executed. At length, when we got tired of waiting, the teacher informed us that they would be ready in a few minutes, .so we bargained to give the man of the house a dollar to let us ascend to the roof, which overlooked the ground. I should think houses in that neighbour hood must he cheap and disease prevalent, for this horrid slaughterhouse is situated in a densely populated quarter. Besides ourselves there were five other European spectators. About 10 o'clock one mandarin made his appearance ;'he dismounted at the gate, and took. _up-:his quarters about the centre of the ground, with two coolies to hold an • enormous umbrella over his head. • I noticed that he had a sort of black cap tied over his nose to prevent him from inhaling the foul atmosphere. He was followed by a guard of 30 or 40 soldiers, and then came the prisoners. The way they were brought in was most curious, and if it had not been for time tragedy to follow, ludicrous. They were put in small baskets, like those used for clothes, and slung on a pc le carried by two coolies, but their hands were tied behind them and their feet also secured, and they were fastened to the basket. On arriving at the ground they were shot out of the basket as unceremoniously as if they had been cattle, and placed in rows kneeling on the ground four abreast. The number on this occasion was 127. When they were all placed, one man behind gave them a push forward to bring their heads into a leaning position, and the executioners, beginning at one end of the line, strike off the head at a blow. Be fore you have time to look about you, two or three more, one after the other, are despatched. The rapi dity and dexterity with which it is done are won derful. There were four executioners, and between, them they beheaded the whole 127 in three mi nutes ! We heard that most of them at the time of their death were not conscious, as their friends had stupified them with opium. No sooner was the last head cut off than the mandarins, about eight in number altogether, left the ground, and the coolies, who bad carried the victims, rushed in with shouts; and began to pack the bodies into rough wooden boxes, in which they are carried into the country and buried, that is to say, shot into a hole in numbers, and the boxes returned for the next lot. This is now a daily occurrence, and sometimes repeated even twice or thrice in a day. Is not this a system for the parental govern ment of China ! and what can missionaries do with *pie among whom wholesale judicial murders are daily tolerated It is infinitely worse than the Reign of Terror was, and the sword of the execu tioner has made more havoc than the guillotine. I bought one of these swords after the execution, and I now send it to you, all bloody as it was."— /flyer/ass Couriei.. EXECUTION OF THOMAS JONES. ~- Thomas Jones, the murderer of Dr. Hope, the convict surgeon at Portsmouth, was executed'at Whinchester on Saturday morning. Before he died he repented of his crime, acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and sought the ail of religion to pupport hien in the prospect of an ignominious death. From his condemned cell he sent the following letter, v:z. " Winchester, March 18. "To the friends and relatives of the late Dr. Hope. "It is quite impossible for me to express the feelings of deep sorrow and shame with which I reflect on the wicked deed of mine which has deprived you of one so near and dear to you. I feel I cannot depart this life without this expres-ion of my Farrow, even though it may be suspected or spurned, as I deserve it should be ; but as it will be too late when this reaches you to ask you to forgive me, I can only entertain the hope that your Christian charity would have afforded me that emu fort if there had been an opportunity. May you be found on the day of judgment amongst those who shall be saved. " THOMAS JONES." The parties to whom this was addressed, believing in its sincerity, and compassionating the unhappy writer, sent a reply , which consoled him in his last agonies. Thomas Jones was a most extraordinary man, arid some particulars of his life are to be published at his own request. He partook of the Holy Sacrament on the day previous to his execution. He met his death with firm. ness, but without bravado, and the drop fell as he prayed God through the Saviour of mankind to sustain and re ceive his soul. It will be recol'ected that Jone. 4 was a convict on board the hulks at Portsmouth, and that he Murdered Dr. Hope, because he thought the latter treated him harshly on the trial. Witnesses bore testi mony to Dr. Hope's tenderness and humanity, but the attention of the Government has been drawn to the dis cipline of the hulks in consequence of the murder, and, it is not improbable that the hulks will be abolish e d, as the treatment of convicts on bo a rd th em ten d s rather to brutalise than to reform the man. LA IV INTELLIGENCE. --March 22. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. THEATRICAL FAILURE. Among the applicants to the court is Mr. Sheridan Smith, whose " appears-ice" has been caused by his losses as a theatrical manager on the York circuit, and especially at Hull. He had sustained a loss of 1201. in a short time, after having engaged several "eminent actors" at large salaries. He had sustained a further loss of 201. on the English Opera comyany at Hull, and al o spent a large sum on a pantomime. The debts in the schedule are inconsiderable, being under 2001., and it appears that Mr. Smith, known by the name of Swanborough," had received 901. from the proprietors of theatres in consideration of his losses on the York circuit. An order for hearing has been granted. FAILURE OF A PENNY NEWSPAPER. The projector of the first penny ',onion newspaper has petitioned the Insolvent Debtors Court, and has ob tained an order for hearing. The paper was called the London Evening News. The insolvency is attributed partly to the " uncertainty of profit, on periotho4l put.- The united chambers of the Court of Cessation will be called upon next week to decide, in the last resort, e eeestion:of vast politi ca l i mportance. The case immediately before the Court is whether one - Delayen, au elector for au obscure town called Pont - Sainte-Ma,xe,nce, committed a penal offence by distributing, without the permission of the pre fect of the Seine and Oise, bulletins bearing the name of a candidate for the municipal council. The point really at issue is whether the Govern ment will succeed in keeping that formidable baby,.. universal suffrage, eternally in leading strings, and in securing the election of its own nominees to the Legislative Body in all time coming. This matter, although the public has not hitherto troubled its head much about it, is likely to become one of immediate interest as soon as the peace is concluded. The four years for which the Corps Leeislatif was 'elected expire this time twelvemonth. The imperial constitution has re served no power to prolong the term. There woald be au inconvenience in allowing the chamber to exist up to the latest moment of the legal perio 1, because the moral authority of a popular a, semb'y is always weakened in its expiring moments. Among the members of the house itself a dissolu tion and a general election ie looked for so soon Rs the autumn of this year. Now it is quite certain that if this election shalt take place under con ditions, permitting any, even the most moderate amount of freedom of choice to the electors, the government majority in the chamber will be very greatly reduced. Ttiis must be so, even admitting that the popularity of the Emperor has not chilli. nished since 1852. The election of teat year took place .under peculiar circumstances of terror and excitement which cannot in the nature of things occur again under the regular swayof g t r h ea at t g i ev a e r4 ;- y n : ment, which was the n battling with but by unscrupulous means, for existence. It is impossible, now that " moderation in success " has been proclaimed from the throne, to trans port people to Cayenne merely becati e they are obnoxious. Tee electors will have much less fear than formerly of being noted down in the prefect's black book. The apprehension of being roasted alive by red repubicans, which impelled thousands to rush to the poll for the government candidates, is not now au active principle. Moreover a class of influential candidates who stood aloof in 1852 are now prepared to come forward. Then every man who was not for the : Empire was against it. There was no room for shades of opinion. However great might be the local influence of any independent man, he shrank from exposing himself and his friends to the danger of a declarat len of open hostility 'to the power which reigned by a force without control. Consequently the government candidates walked over the course almost everywhere. There were not in all France ten opposition candidates elected. The time is now at hand when the extraordinary unanimity whiche he power of Dec.. 2 contrived to secure in the popular assembly will be a source of gre Lt embarratsment, for should the composition of the new parliament be sensibly different the public will not fail to see in the fact a symptom-of reac tion. Many men of mark, who are anything but friendly to the principles on which the present government of their country is constituted, are nevertheless prepared to defer to a certain extent to de facto success. Without meaning entirely to sacrifice their p iuciples, they do not feel bound in conscience to abstain perpetually from taking part in public affairs. Of course those of the class I have been speaking of, who would be members of - the Corps Leeislatif, are prepared to take the oath of " obedience to the constitution and fidelity to the Emperor." But how small a guarantee is a poli tical oath in France, where there is such high autho rity for -overruling it at the dictates of political: expediency 1 It is certain that if a general elec tion were to take place to-morrow, many men who would hot be mere registrars of the decrees of power would be chosen, unless means should be taken to make it practically impossible for the electors to return any other than Government' candidates. This mean the Government hop es it has found in a strained interpretation of a law of July 7, 1849, made,diverso iutuitu. The object of this law, as stated in the preamble, was to check the circulation 'of " books, writings, and pamph lets" containing doctrines dangerous to social orders It was objected at the time that the law, if literally construed, might, interfere with the freedom of election, since a bulletin containing simply the came of a candidate was a• " writing ;" and an amendment was actually proposed declaring that the. act was not to apply to electoral bulletins. This amendment was rejected on the ground that it was unnecessary, inasmuch as the right of distrf bitting bulletins was expressly secured to citizens by another law, and that it was absurd to suppose that a card bearing a candidate's name could ever be confounded with a writing containing some conception of the mind, such as the act evidently meant to allude to. Notwithstanding this ab surdity, the present government, seeing the im mense power which a literal construction of this law would throw into its hands at the next general election, has instructed the Procureura Imperial throughout the country diligently to pro secute all persons presuming to distribute bulletins for the municipal elections. The decisions of the provincial courts of law have been conflicting. In the instance which gives rise to these remarks, Delayen wa. originally acquitted by the tribunal of the First Instance of Senlis, and again acquitted on appeal by the Imperial Court of Beauvais. The Government appealed to the Criminal Chamber ttf Cessation, and this court put the desired con struction upon the act, quashed the judgments of the courts below, and sent Delayen to be tried again before the Imperial Court of Amiens. The Court of Amiens has pronounced an ac quittal, .in a judgment containing very clear and convincing ‘reasons ; and now, pursuant to the course of French jurisprudence, the question is to he solemnly and finally argued before the full Court of Cassation. The Siecle, which from the first has shown itself folly alive to the immense importance of this subject, and has front time to time published leading articles upon it, now strenuously upholds the decision of the Court of Amiens, and affects to treat as a matter of course that the law must be altered should the supreme court confirm the view taken by the Cri minal Chamber of Cessation. It justly observes that if the electors aro not allowed to know the names of any but Government candidates there can never be any real election, the electors will be transformed into pure and simple approvers of the acts of government now and for ever. 'The system of " universal suffrage" prescribed by the imperial constitution will be changed into a system of universal approbation." To appre ciate at the full value this argument of the Siecle, it must Le remembered that no ,poli• tical meetings can take place in France, and that any newspaper writing in favour of an oppo• nent to a Government candidate would be consi dered seditious. Therefore, it is quite true that, if the Government construction of the law be up held, it will always be impossibe for the consti tuencies (with very rare exceptions) to agree to support any names but those circulated by the prefects. The Siecle observes, with great boldnesQ, that if the councils general, the municipal council, and the Corns Legislatif are really to be the mere delegates of'the Government, it would be better for the Government to nominate them 'directly, and not to mock the people with the idle form of an election.
