Amongst the votes for, the Navy, agreed to on Friday night, was one for the sum of 407,5491. for the Contract Packet Service; for the Post-ofilee Depart ment. It exceeds the sum voted last year by 178,1421. The principal portion of the increase is 160,0001., for steam vessels to and from Liverpool and the West Indies ; a service, of which hitherto there has been more complaint than approbation. The whole amount voted for that service this year is 240,0001. The several mails between Hamburgh and London, and Rotterdam, Falmouth, Vigo, Oporto, and Gib raltar, Liverpool and Halifax, Bermuda and St. John's, cost collectively 135,2191. The bulk of that expense is . incurred almost exclusively for the advantage of'the wealthy mercantile classes, and the promotion:of commerce. We do not object to the ex penditure ; we think money employed in increasing the communication between distant countries is well laid out ; we only wish to make the mercantile classes and the public aware of the money which is now expended for the promotion of commerce; It is not above three years, we believe, since the first vote was passed for Cunard's line of packets, and the whole of this vote is nearly of modern origin. If by this mode of expending the public money, the national 'greatness be augmented, it is of such great advan tage to merchants that by it the wealth of many indi viduals must be increased. A small part of this money is recovered on post age for letters, but the bulk of it is taken from the public funds to promote trade. If to this expense of packets, we add the expense of consuls, ships of war. and various public establishments only necessary for the protection of commerce, we may conjecture that not less than a 1,000,0001. a-year of the public money is employed to protect and promote foreign trade. In our judgment that is a liberal and wise policy ; but what can be said at the same time in favour of those restrictive laws which prevent foreign trade, or cut it up by the roots ? On the one hand, the Legis lature gives the public money to promote trade, on the other, it continually passes laws to impede, curb, and stifle trade. Is not this a picture of a house di vided against itself?—of a man struggling to win a race, and yet chaining his own legs ? Let the House of Commons either spare the public purse, or set trade free, so that it may yield back to the state the taxes laid out to promote it. The liitutoWners" seem determined to worry Sir R. PEEL about the importation of cattle. On Friday Mr. PUSEY gave notice, " in the event of Mr. Muss' motion," to take the duty on cattle by weight being negatived, " that he will move the following series of r esolutions on going into Committee on the Customs' Bill, the reasoning of which the double-faced Premier will find it, we apprehend, inconvenient to answer. - - 1. That a Bill had passed in the present session eorn, l o i a l li e pro tecting the growth, not of wheat only, but also of other usually called spring grains, " y, oats, beans, and pease, more or less employed the fattening of I cattle. 4 a. lo l l ar.ge part 2. That the price of such grain forming showing that of the cost of meat, and experience furh a e li r ie, corn and meat rise or fall together in ing duty on foreign meat and cattle ought top protect ing proportion to the protecting duty on foreign spring corn.. 3. That, although the average duties at which foreign spring corn will be entered for home consumption, ca n • not be precisely calculated beforehand, it appears suf ficiently that the duty of Ss. per cr..t. proposed in the tariff will not give an amount of protection equal to that -which the Cora-bill will afford upon spring corn, and that the two measures are therein at Variance with each other. _ 4. That in the tariff the duty of Ss. per cwt. on foreign meat is also in'.!onsistent with the duty or 14s. pt t r . cwt. upon bacon, the cost of producing' the two a telimg not differing in the proportion of 3 and 14, c , nsequently, that, if a duty of 14s. on bacon be an etluitable amount o': protection, the duty of Ss /Lust be clearly e, _acteiwite. 5. That even - if the duty of 8s per cwt. on meat were a sufficient protection that protection would be rendered an 11 by the duty. proposed levied upon fat cattle, sii.ce an ox of 8 cwt i ... c1 0 be to at, would p ay 8,:.x1t. ~'lnglitered and imported as nearly Id. per pound, or 4., but might cim i , ii, a; scic *for 205.. being 025.6 d. per cwt., oriel. per lb., i b, I,tVt' ,':ne tallow and hide enter i! k besides d sty f...ve ; t o o, ra 't hog' of 3 cwt. would be ii: big to thre conflicting rotes o p.:.r cwt. on 'Aired bacon And h am r duty ; namely, 14s. neat, but, t')irdly, would pay as li; Si. per cwt. on fresh cwt., or ow. sixth of a penny per po e u stock only 20d. per 6. Taat the admission of live stocV. IN culd le a vicual repeal o: the Curn- 1. 1 . y0n these terms c ; rn woul 1 thus come in at a nominal d'u't since f''''''in n- ower also saviTLz carriage t: 1 u on Lie Ju..cy article the foreign introducing it into this country ih the more c ' e (orl ' , by portable form c. ifat stock. 7. That suth an enactment would contradict the whole on meat course e our commercial policy, and the avowed prin ciple of the tariff, by repelling the importation of the raw material (spring corn), which affords employment to labour in the feeding of cattle, in favour of the finished article, fat stock, which it would admit almost duty free. 8. That cattle being now fattened extensively upon arable land, with food often purchased by enterprising farmers at the expense of many hundred pounds in a year, not With a view to profit on the price of the animals, but .simply to the production of dung , the i m p rovement of A griculture would be greatly hindered, if encouragement ;were given to the constant importation of fat stock, in ;preference to the occasional introduction of those grains l on which cattle are fed. 9. That the levy of an equal fixed duty per head upon lean and fat cattle would also tend to discourage, com paratively, the entrance of the unfinished product or lean animal, which affords employment to the farm labourer, and to impede the production of manure, according to the improved method of husbandry. 10. That the proposed duties, so far as they apply to lean stock, would not afford to the occupies of farms in exposed and inferior situations, whose chief dependence is placed in the breeding and sale of store cattle, protec tection commensurate to that which is held out to the grower of grain by the Corn-bill. 11. That if a small supply of foreign cattle and meat be expected to arrive, it is still inexpedient to impose in the tariff conflicting rates of duty upon meat, and upon cattle fit for immediate consumption as meat, but that if such a supply be looked forward to as would materially reduce the value of live stock at home, it would be highly unjust to take away indirectly, by means of the tariff, that protection which the Corn Bill has recently . given. 12. That further inquiry be, therefore, instituted into a proposal which deeply involves the property of farmers, and has alarmed them the more, because in the Corn Bill they have only exchanged one scheme of mo fied protection for another ; but in the tariff are unex pectedly called upon to pass at once from absolute pro hibition to virtual free trade. We and all free-traders could at once get rid of Mr. PUSEY'S statements, but we do not see how Sir R. PEEL, who has just induced the House of Com mons to pass a law to secure, as it is called, a certain degree of protection to the landowner can now pass another law, which diminishes that or takes it away. There are various other amendments to be proposed In the tariff which depend, like that of Mr. Pusrx's, on the relative cost of different articles, like spring corn and fatted cattle. To ascertain that, and to be able to adjust accurately all the different shades of pro tection proportionate to prices, our legislators ought to be intimately conversant with all the details of every trade in the country, otherwise they will give, ac cording to Mr. PUSEY'S statement, an inadequate amount of protection to one article or another. But no legislators can be acquainted with all these details. Neither the cost of spring corn, nor the cost of fatten ing - cattle, is a certain and definite sum; it varies with the seasons and with places, and the protection which would be ample for the fat vale of Evesham would be wholly insufficient for the stony hills of Berkshire. Even farmers or traders can scarcely be acquainted with all these particulars ; and if they were, nobody Ase would say that they should be suffered to make or dictate the laws by which other people are to buy :heir produce. The difficulty of adjusting a scale of protection between cattle and corn, and between them :lid all other commodities, is not an argument for .adopting Mr. PUSEY'S scale, but for scouting alto gether such pettyfogging halfpenny-farthing legisla tion. At the same time as Sir ROBERT PEEL adopts, and acts on the principle of adjusting protect- Jig duties, we hope that Mr. PUSEY may persevere with his amendment, that he may be supported by all the landlords in Parliament, and that he may annoy .tud perplex the self-sufficient Premier. The title of the Louis PHILIPPE of our system, which we assigned to Sir ROBERT PEEL, somewhat :core than a month ago, is so appropriate, that other Journals have given him the same name,. His mea 3ureS•have accorded with no man's expectations—they :hill'. the wishes of no . clasi—they are not compre hensively just—they are not even temporarily expe dient—they neither mitigate present distress, nor pro mise much for the future. One of them is a great addition" to the public burdens—yet they are all car lied, or certain to be carried, and what he ordains is sure to become law. He has thwarted and opposed the landowners and monopolists, who brought him in ; he has not courted the assistance of the free-traders, who strove to keep him out ; but there he" stands in Parliament, superior to them all—one party ready to do his bidding, when the other party declines. These are all plain and palpable facts, observed and recog nised by almost every journalist. There is another fact, however, deducible from these circumstances, worthy of consideration. If both countries have Louis Plait-x.11u,, in L.f.h. countries there must be some corresponding frame of the public. mind, which makes in both a Louis PHILIPPE the, necessity of the moment, The career of these men forbids us to assign to either of them a :iigher character than that of a clever and a fortunate trickster. WELLINGTON, BONAPARTE, PITT, were men of genius, who created eminence for themselves; the two others have watched and waited, have taken advantage of this tide and that tide. of public sentiment, have sided with Revolutionists or Conservatives, with rigid bigotted Tories or Emancipationists, as a man was wanting to do their bidding, till they have made them selves the indispensible organ or instrument of some prevailing sentiment. In France, Louis PHILIPPE reigns by virtue of the dread of Revolution and change which pervades the middle classes there, which he nourished till he acquired the throne, and became for the bourgeoise the means of preventing further revolution. To that dread they sacrifice present liberty. Our Louis Piiimpr.}l holds place by a similar fear. Men of pro rierty, with the middle classes, dread the unpropertied, or despoiled multitudes. In 'office and out of office, Sir R. PEEL has augmented that fear. He has con tinually sided against all attempts to extend the suf frage, because an extension of the constituency would endanger property. To that fear he has made himself indispensible ; to support him therefore the middle classes accept an Income-tax, and the land lords submit tochanges in their protecting laws which they -would take from no other hands. The dread of change, the fear of the multitude, is the si milar frame of mind amongst the politically influen tial classes in France and England, which makes a Louis PHILIPPE now essential to both. If a man may make what laws he pleases he is very little short of a despot, though he may use his power, as both these men use it, with modera tion and discretion. No man who has an idea of justice affirms, we believe, that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S arrangements can be lasting, or that they will put an end to public distress and discontent. Neither the wretched monopolies which he has instituted here, nor the suppression of public giscussion in France can be the law of either nation a very few years hence. Tamed as both these quasi despots are by that subserviency to some prejudices and bad passions which they have noted and watched to gain their ends, neither of them is ever likely to be very tyrannical, and neither will be able to transmit his power and his system to any successor. In truth both depend on an unworthy apprehension, which cannot last. More continual misery is produced by by the means employed to relieve it than could possibly ensue were it realized. REPRESENTATION OF WAKEFIELD.—We see, by the Leeds Mercury, that Mr. Lascelles has declined to accede to the request of the Electors of Wakefield, and resign his seat, which he owes to a decision of the House of Commons, contrary to the expressed wishes and votes of the majority of the electors of that borough. If the House of Commons may in one case elect a Member contrary to the wishes of the majority of the electors, it may do so in all, and it would be advantageous, probably, to public morality—it would spare the commission of much bribery, lying, intimi dation, and coercion were that Hon. House to nomi nate its successor. In Mr. Lascelles's case, the return ing officer, Mr. Holdsworth, was elected by the ma- jority, mid when an election Commitee unseated Mr. I foldsworth, because he was disqualified to sit, it had no business nor right to &Nit Mr. Lascelles. In that' case a Committee of the House of Commons have usurped the rights of the electors, and Mr. Lascelles wronl:-cfully sits in Parliament for Wakefield. MANCHESTER SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE SUFFERERS AT HAMBIJRGH.—It will be seen by the advertisement in another column, that, notwithstandin g the present is a holiday week, when business is pretty much at a stand, tlw warehouses closed , and m a n y of our residents go from home for a short time , th e subs cription has r ecei ve d trust an accession, since our last, of upwards of 760 t ,turd that it amounted last night to the sum of 5,627 /. v that next week, when parties generally have rmuned their usual business habits and avocations, a further con silerable utgmentation will be made to the funds for this object.—Manchester Guardian. PHILADELPHIA, APRIL, 27.—The "Hungarian singers," well-known. vocalists, are said to have been murdered by brigands, near Puerio Principie, Cuba. Two of the robbers were found dead' by their side, SALISBURY. — Hay - making has already commenced in the meadows in this neighbourhood, and the crop promises to be ona of 'extraordinary hixuriance.—Sher bourne Journal.

BRUSSELS, MAY 19.—The average price of wheat last week was 23f. 42c., that of rye 13f. 13c. Two ships in the basins of Antwerp are taking on board cargoes of tiles of boom for Hamburgh. His Majesty is expected from Ardenne this evening. BRUSSELS, MAY 20.—An arrangement has been made between the Minister of the Interior and the Steani Na vigation Company of Antwerp, by which that Society continuing at all events a weekly communication between Antwerp and London, shall likewise provide a weekly communication between Ostend and London. The Society cannot fix a higher charge for the conveyance of merchandise between Antwerp and London than the mean of the charge for the conveyance of goods during the first four months of 1842. Between Ostend and London the maximum on a great number of articles is much below the prices hitherto charged. Among those articles are fruit, poultry, but ter, eggs, and most heavy goods, such as are charged by measure. The steamers, which ply between Ostend and London, are preparing to enter into a rigorous competition. One of than has already reduced the fare to five shillings. This reduction (as long as it lasts) will probably greatly increase our intercourse with England. Already a party of fifteen persons at Brussels propose to go to London next week for their pleasure, and we do not doubt that a great number of English will come to Ostend. I The Precurseur of Antwerp says, "We .learn with pleasure that some captains of vessels, ready to sail from. Ghent and Antwerp to Hamburgh, intend to offer a free passage to every workmen of good character, whose professions is connected with house building, such as masons, bricklayers, plasterers, carpenters, smiths, and provided they have subsistence during the voyage, and for a week after their landing. AMSTERDAM, MAY 18.—The King of Prussia, at the request of General Du Moulin, has allowed him to retire on a pension, after having been for 26 years Governor of the fortress of Luxemburg. The inhabitants greatly re • gret the retirement of the General, who has acquired in the highest degree the confidence and the esteem of the population: His Majesty, who set out yesterday afternoon for Overyssel is expected between the 3rd and 6th of June at Luxemburg, where he will open on the 7th the first as sembly of the estates of the Grand Duchy. AMSTERDAM, MAY 18.—The committee for collecting subscriptions for the sufferers at llamburgh has already received 7,400 florins, besides the sums received by the Handelsblad, 3,739 florins, and other considerable dona tions. TEE HAGUE, MAY 20.—Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Frederick of the Netherlands left the Hague to-day to proceed to St. Petersburgh, to be present at the twenty-fifth anniversary of the mar riage of their Imperial Majesties.

Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, a man named Bryant, going to his work. dis covered the dead body of a young man, very well dressed, lying upon the grass. He gave an alarm, and Inspector Collier was soon upon the spot, and the body was removed to the Mail Coach pnblle-house, when it was found that the head of the deceased had been blown nearly to atoms. Near the spot, where the body was discovered, was found a pistol that had been re cently discharged, and a book, entitled " Remarks on the In fluence of Mental Cultivation and Mental Excitement upon Health. By Amariah Brigham, M.D." This book appeared to have been made use of as a target, for it was perforated in seven or eight places, evidently by a pistol-ball, and on one of the blat k leaves there was written in pencil the fol lowing sentence :—" Haying no vvv.tch t cannot say what is the hour, but the sun appears to be down, or below the horizon, and the crows and other birds are busy and pleased, and dl nature content and happy but me; because of not knowing how to make a better use of my brain, Ihave come here to have it shattered. It rain's— it is cold—or, at least, I feel cold —and it is darkish." Upon the person of the deceased being searched six shillinc, and sixpence in silver, and eightpence in copper were found in his pockets, and also several bullets, and a number of percussion caps, but nothing whatever like!) , to afford a clue to discover the identity of the de ceased. He appears to be between 24 and 25 )ears old, and was dressed in a brown frock coat and black trousers and waistcoat. The body still remains at the Mail Coach to await the coroner's inquest.

Coldrenick was decidedly on the decline ; 7 to 2 was currently laid ; 4 to 1 would have been taken by his party, (we much doubt to any amount,) but unless a good deal of money is brought into the market to sup port him, he cannot remain in the front rank. He has been backed for a considerable sum of money, at very small prices. His friends must be satisfied to hedge their bets to a loss ; it is clear Day's trial horses have deceived him. We think there is no doubt he has been himself deceived. Attila is indisputably Premier ; 5 to 4 was laid be tweeen him and Coldrenick ; 3 to 1 was eagerly taken, and we confidently predict he will see 7 to 4 before the start. Auckland is still in considerable demand with a certain class of supporters, but his friends, who have taken the long odds, 50's to 1, during the winter, are nowhere to be found. The money being distributed in tenners all over the country, and not sent up to be hedged, causes the small ness of the odds. The professionals being full against him, we expect to see him go back to morrow. 700 to 100 is still offered against him. Canadian was backed at 7 to 1 to some amount. Bto 1 would have tempted his friends to in vest some hundreds. Many good judges fancy Canadian. Bar Attila, we would put our pony on him, in prefer ence to any horse in the race. 20 to 1 was taken eagerly about Agreeable, and in such quarters that he must be a better favorite. 20 to 1 was betted fre quently on Jack. The yard was crowded, but very little done; a few outsiders were backed at very long prices. OAKS. Adela filly was at 4 to 1 (t) ; Dil-bar, 6 to 1 offered. Nothing else in demand. Tiptoe (lame) and Balankeele we believe are scratched. EXCULPATION OF GENERAL ELPHINSTONE. We have been wrong in imputing blame to Gene ral Elphinstone, whose bodily sufferings incapacitated him for his duties; but we have not been wrong in impugning the conduct of the beleagured forces. It seemed to us most extraordinary that a disciplined army of 6,000 men remained on the defensive, instead of striking a blow at the irregular troops opposed to it; and we now know that Sir W. M'Naghten strongly condemned the defensive course, and was ur gent for attack. Secondly, we could not understand the desperate measure of a retreat in the depth of win • ter, and in want of everything, not excepting courage, amidst swarms of enemies intoxicated with the worst sign of their triumph, while there was the resource of occupying the Bala Hissar, and holding out in it till spring should enable succours to arrive. It is now confidently and, we have reason to believe, truly re ported that this was the advice of Major Pettinger, and that he was overruled by another officer, backed by a council of war. Had the army occupied the lialaillissar it would have been safe during the winter, and would by this time, in all human probability, have been relieved, and would have recovered the possession of the town. But, unhappily, the desperate expedient of a con vention not to be trusted to, and a retreat in a com plication of difficulties, and through a hostile country, was preferred ; but this was not the worst ; the bad thing was not done in the best way, it was done in the worst way. The only chance of getting off the troops in a retreat was, not to impede and clog them with baggage, but to leave them unemcumbered to fight their way. The same evil genius, however, that de termined against the occupatio n of the Bala Hissar, against the advice of the Envoy, insisted on saving the baggage, and to this is attributed the completeness of the rout, and the utter destruction of the whole force. • The conduct of the troops appears to have been ex tremely bad, but nothing was done to call out the spirit that might have been depressed in them, and they were virtually without a leader. The 44th is said to have behaved ill ; it is an unfortunate regi ment; for the defeat before New Orleans was refera ble to its not having brought up the scaling ladders ; the fault, however, in that instance, was not with the men, but the colonel. It seems that our authorities in Affghanistan do not think Mahomed Akbar thdtraitor which we have sup posed him to be here. His conduct to the prisoners is spoken of with gratitude, and the opinion appears to be that he had not the power to prevent the attack on the retreating army. It may he politic, however, in the circumstances to suppose the best of him ; but the favourable opinion, whatever may be the sincerity of it, is current.—Examiner. M. Altarras, President of the Jewish Consistory at Marseilles, and M. Cohen, Avogat of t h e C our Royal, at Aix, took then:departure on the 15th inst., from Marseilles, in the Government steamer Charlemagne, for Algeria.

Letters from the coast of Africa to the 26th of March, state that the Pantaloon, 10, Lieutenant Lapidge, in going out of the Gambia, got high and dry on a treach erous bank, and was obliged to raft her guns to get her off. During this operation, 150 armed natives, in ten canoes, pushed off to secure their prize, and on their op ponents having showed hostile intentions, while the able seamen were engaged with the rafts at some distance, and none but lads on board and two guns, these pro tected themselves until the sailors in the boats from the rafts dashed in among them, and with Jack's usual bra very, hurled a lot of them into the sea, and made 23 pri soners, who are now at the Gambia waiting a negotiation with their King. At the time the attack was made upon the brig, 14 armed canoes were ready to push off, but as soon as they saw the fate of their companions, they shrunk from a second attempt.—Devonport Telegraph.

In 1839, for the quarter ending in March, there were, in the township of Kendal alone, 618 paupers ; in 1840, the number was 953 ; in 1841, it increased to 1,091 ; and in the same quarter of the current year we have no less than 1,351, which with the addition of 154 for Kirkland, makes the deplorable number of 1,505 individuals, or ,one-eighth of the population, receiving. relief. In 1839, the expenditure for Kendal alone was, for the March quarter, 6141. 13s. Id. ; in 1840, 8191. 4s. 6d.; in 1841, it rose to 9111. 6s, 5d.; and this year it amounts to 1,0951. Os. 11d. But we have not even yet done. The agricultural town ships present, if possible, a still worse picture. They are experiencing the truth of that saying—" He that sows to* the wind shall reap the whirlwind." The manu facturing districts, unable any longer to support the numbers which formerly found homes and employment among them, are now. sending back to their parishes the surplus population ; and the farmers, in addition to the loss which they have to sustain in the depreciation of their stock from the badness of trade, have also to sup port all who, from some cause, have been reduced to destitution. Such are the results of the Corn-laws ! Such ever will be the operation of unjust legislation. A fancied, or at best a temporary good, which operates only on a class, must eventually re-act with tenfold calamity upon the heads of those for whose gain injustice is perpetrated upon the people at large. But let us go into the case, as it affects the interests of our own locality. In the March quarter of 1839, the number of paupers in the 55 agricultural townships of the Kendal Union, exclusive of Kirkland and Kendal, was 1,602 ; in the same quarter of 1840 it rose to 2,028 ; in 1841 it was 2,179 ; and this year the number is stated at 2719, or oue thousand one hundred and seventeen more than in 1839 ! In the first quarter of 1839 these townships spent for the maintenance of their poor, 1,879/. 135., while this year the cost was 2,277/. 25., an increase at the rate of one thousand six hundred pounds per annum.—Kendal Mercury. DESTRUCTION 13Y FIRE OF THE GEORGIA EAST INDIAMAN-FIVE LIVES LOST. On Saturday afternoon, the melancholy intelligence of the loss by fire of the ship Georgia, of Newcastle, an Indiaman, Captain Mitchell, bound to London, was re ceived by the underwriters at Lloyd's, attended, we re great to say, with deplorable sacrifice of human life. The ship was between 800 and 900 tons burthen. and was valued at 7,0001., being splendidly fitted up for the accommodation of passengers ; she had a rich cargo on board, consisting of jewellery, merchandise, and other valuable property, which perished with the vessel, a loss in total of neorly 20,0001. The unfortunate event occurred on the morning of the Ist of last month while on her passage to England from Calcutta, which place she left in the early part of Febru ary. From the account brought over by the . ship Tho mas Sparks from China, which arrived off Dartmol.:4ll on Friday morning, it appears that early on the morning mentioned, the watch on deck, when the vessel was under close-reefed topsails, and in latitude 30 south, and longitude 36 east, off Madagascar; noticed something burning about the ship, and supposed that one of the crew had left his candle burning, and that he had fallen asleep. The officer went into the forecastle to ascertain if such was the case, but found the interior apparently safe, and the lights all extinguished. On returning to the deck he observed that the stench increased, which excited his suspicions, and ultimately aroused the commander; Captain Mitchell and the rest of the ship's crew, and a strict search was determined upon. On the boats being removed and the main hatches taken off, the burning was found to pro ceed from the cargo, when orders were given to remove some portion of it, so as to get at the fire; the crew, however, had not proceeded far before a volume of smoke burst upon them, and shortly afterwards it became so in tense, accompanied with excessive heat that they were forced to desist. and leave the hold, notwithstanding large quantities of water had been thrown down amongst the cargo. Captain Mitchell then had the hatches re placed, and blocked up every aperture in the ship, in cluding the cabins, in the hope of stifling the fire.; but this proved unavailing, for in about two hours the flames broke through the cabin windows, and likewise from the hatchway over the forecastle, to the terror an d di smay of all on board. Capt. Mitchell, who-was a young man, acted with surprising fortitude. Perceiving that the de struction of the vessel was inevitable, he directed the crew to prepare themselves to leave the ship, which they immediately set upon doing, by lowering the boats (two in number) over the vessel's side. It was a most trying moment, for the sea was extremely rough, with a heavy gale of wind ; and with the knowledge of their being 800 or 900 miles from land, every soul expected to meet with a watery grave. At about eight o'clock, the chief mate, with nine the crew, left the burning vessel in the jolly-boat, they were directly followed by Captain Mitchell, and the rest of the ship's company—four in number—in the small boat. In the course of a quarter of an hour afterwards, She work of devastation had reached the masts, and she appeared embodied in one mass of flames, forming a terrible though magnificent appearance. At this critical period, a vessel was observed at a distance, beating towards the ill-fated ship, and the chief mate turned round to make known the joyful intelligence to Captain Mitchell and the rest of the crew. He was horror-struck in finding that the boat had foundered, and none of them were to be seen. They rowed about in hopes of picking them up, but unfortunately none of the poor fellows ever rose after. The ship Thomas Sparks, which proved to be the vessel they saw bearing down to their assistance, came up alongside soon afterwards, and took the mate and the rest of the Georgia's crew on board, and they remained within a short distance of the burning ship until she went down, which event took place at a late hour in the afternoon. The ship Thomas Sparkes, with the survivors, arrived yesterday morning off Dover, and she is expected this afternoon at Blackwall.
