Premium moderate, returned in wages. Also stout Lads, without premium, for other ships. Wages £35. entered for a plate, is at zero in racing circles. Ranger, - - who was nowhere in the Derby, wins as hard, if not a harder, race in France with ease; and Tim Whiffler, said to be another Eclipse in his speed and powers of staying, or, we should rather say, powers of going, runs a dead heat with Buckstone, and in the end Buckstone wins. Amid all of the Stand, when he made his effort, and in the next stride headed the favourite, and won by two lengths. The race was run in 4 min. 23} sec. A Plate of 100 sow, added to a sweepstakes of 5 sovs each ; for 2-yr-olds and upwards, weight for age, the winner to be sold for 200 soya, and if sold for 100 sous allowed 71b. tions as to the ellgibility of the different sites pro posed, the hon. gentleman said there was a piece of lend at Newington which seemed to combine ail that was desirable, and to meet the views of ail parties; but owing to circumstances connected with the proprietorships it would be necessary to ohtein compulsory powers before they could pur chase that land, arA a serious question arose as to whether Pariiornent would grant such powers to a body which sought I hem merely for the purposes of charity. It wa-, however, a right thing to do, snd if they were backed up by the press he entertained a strong hope that they VS ou)d succeed. Alderman SYDNEY seconded the motion, and hoped that the Court would assemble again in a fortnight's time, and finally determine upon some one of the sites on which the new hospital should be erected. Mr. GREY said the question for the Court to con sider was what si,e would beet suit the poorer classes, and not what would be most convenient for the medical men. It would be better to pay these gentlemen a compensation for any loss they might sustain than to deprive the people of the advantages of a well selected site for the charity. Alderman W. LAWRENCE recommended every governor to inspect the different sites and judge for himself, and then come in a fortnight's time and determine the question. Alderman DAMN suggested that the statistics of the old hospital should be appended to the report. After some further discussion, in which Mr. Elliott; Mr. South, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Pidgeon, Mr. Adams, Mr. Garling, Mr. W. Cotton, alid other gentlemen took part, the motion was agreed to. Mr. ADAMS said he understood the general sen timent of the people of Southwark, as expressed at the late meeting held on the subject, was in favour of a spot as near the Elephant and Castle as possible. An instruction to the Grand Committee that they should ascertain whether compulsory powers could be obtained for the purchasing of land at Newington was adopten. A GOVERNOR asked whether it would not be better to postpone the next meeting till after the Bethlem Board had met ? The PRESIDENT said he believed the obtaining of the site of Bethlem Hospital was hopeless ; they had better, therefore not postpone their meeting any further. The meeting was then adjourned till the 23d inst. Hurst and Blackett, 1?, Great Marlborough-street SEA. —MIDSHIPMEN required for splendid ships for Australia and India.

Supple, in company with Rob Roy, The Countess, and Rockley, made play, with Vigil on the extreme right, heading the rear division. In this way they ran to the road, when Vigil went to the front, made the rest of the running, and won in a canter by half a length ; two lengths between the second and third. Rockley was fouith, and Supple fifth. The Countess and Demon were the two last. The PRESIDENT than rcse and said he wished to c!aim the indulgence of the Court while he briefly ,adverted to a letter which appeared in the SAW:, papers of tha morning, and which was deserving of some aTtaltion, inasmuch as it had reference to one of their own body, and also to other mat ters concerning the proceedings which had taken place between the hospital and the rail waycompany. The letter referred to charges made by the surveyors acting for the hospital in its recent disputes with that company. When he saw Mr. The (to whom the letter personally referred) be asked that gentle• man whether he would like to make any statement to him as President of the hospital; and after con sideration Mr. Tite had authorised him to state, in answer to the allegations contained in the letter, that the charges said to have been made by the sur veyors were by law payable, not by the hospital but by the railway company, that the amounts were to be settled by the arbitrator, who had not to the pre sent time given any decision or any opinion what ever on the subject. In justice to Mr. Tite he (the President) k e to stzi.c thattliat gentleman had never taken one shilling for any professional services r2n dered to the hospital during a long period of years; and that when he was requested to assist tte go vernors with his professional advice, and to give evi dence on their part in this case, he told the treasurer that whatever sum might be paid to him by the rail way company would be given to increase the en dowment instituted by him in that hospital several years ago for the encouragement and promotion of the medical school ; but that he would decline to receive in this case, as in all previous cases, one shilling trom the funds of the hospital in any way whatever. Mr. ELLIOTT asked wnether the statement just made by the President was intended to be an answer to the statement published in the newspapers The PRESIDENT—Quite so.

The start was made, and Eleanor, who was to make the running for Tim Whiffler, led at once at a fearful pace. Quick as was the pace, however, Buckstone waited on Tim Whiffler throughout. Aftenhalf the race was run Eleanor fell into the rear, having discitorged her duty; but, though Tim Whiffler still led, Buckatine was not shaken off, and step by step and stride by stride he gained upon the favou rite with a speed that was really wonderful to witness.

This Railway, of the length of 161 Engli , h miles, will con nect Dunaburg, the terminus ot the Riga and Dunaburg Railway, with Witepsk. Ihe Line passes throu , h one of the most productive districts of Russia, furnishing a large pro por ion ot the exports from Riga; and, in facilitating the transport of produce of the rich and wheat-growing pro vinces of Smolensk, Mohilew, b ursk, and Orel, will prove of the greatest importance both to England and Russia. In consequence of the absolute impossibility of forwarding goods , at certain seasons of the year, and the very heavy charges at all times, a great pert of the produce of these lat ter provinces has hitherto been almost lost to exportation, or ava lable only in sea , ons when the markets of Western Europe were approaching famine prices. The transport of the colonial and foreign produce required in this part of the interior, effected hitherto, to a great • xtent, at heavy charges from St. Petersburg, will be carried on by means of this Rail way from Riga to Witepek direct, and be thence distribu ted. There will also be a considerable pass en ger traffic, as the above. named provinces are amongst the most populo us of the emp.re. Thi s R a il w ay will be the only convenien t and expeditious route foe the inhabitants both to St. Petersburg and Western Europe.

Among the distinguishing the following :-- features of the concession are lat. The Company is to be constituted according to English law, with the Board of Direction in London, and an Agency of three Directors in Riga. 2 d. the Government guarantees the interest in sterling Money, not, as in previous cases, in roubles.

Bth. The shareholders are en iited to all net profits of the line, up to 6 per cent., on the nominal capital or £4,600,000. They are further entitled to one-half ot all urther proff s, over and above the 6 per c nt., until tte Government is re • imbutsel the moneys which it may have paid in respect of the guaranteed interest beyond the net earnings of t , e line ; after which reimbursement, the shareholders are entitled to the whole of he net profits, whatever they may be.

Knatchbull-Hugess SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE CUP DAY AT ASCOT. The glories of Ascot culminated yesterday. The year of the "dead heat," the year of the first visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales, will long be remembered as having brought together the most brilliant assemblage that ever mustered on this picturesque heath, will long be remem bered as marking the transition period when Ascot, like the Derby, begins to yield to the invasion of railways and the Democracy. Already Ascot is changed from what it used to be—a great fashionable promenade, where ladies thronged the course—when Ascot meant a real picnic, with the races as an excuse for making it. It had all these ele ments yesterday, brit mixed with them were others which showed that the popularity of the great race is extending its influence beyond the limited circle of the Upper Ten Thousand. The Ascot is to the Derby what genteel comedy is to broad farce. All London goes to the Derby ; only the West-end goes to Ascot. Little dolls and false noses have scarcely penetrated the fir-clad hills which surround the heath. A "spree" at Ascot takes the form of a sumptuous dejeuner— even the itinerant Bedouins, who lead a life of races, ate subdued in tone and gesture, and make more money by selling beautiful bouquets than with "card and pencil " The very niggers feel the softening influence, and the Derby melodies, as broad as they are long, become at Ascot chansons comiques of irreproachable propriety and dullness. There are gipsies, end " three rows a penny" prosper in a mild and genteel way ; but acrobats, we should think, must tumble from a pure love of art or from such philanthropic motives as form their own reward, for, assuredly they get but very little other. We find none of the characteristic features of the Derby Day at Ascot, except in their mildest and most aristocratic forms—it is a large fashionable party on the heath, a party which as sembles on the Cup Day to "meet everyone one knows.' Yesterday, indeed, aill the fashionable world were per • sent, and since the " Cup" was first run for there never has been such a gathering on the Heath. A great number came down by the South-Western, where, considering that there was the usual anxiety displayed by everybody to go by the first train, matters were admirably managed, and those who were fortunate enough to get early seats suddenly derived the greatest enjoyment from witnessing the un availing efforts of others to procure the same accommoda tion, though, as is not unfrequently the case, while they themselves were disappointed suitors they had quite failed to regard the little scramble from such a jocose point of view. At last, however, all were comfortably got off, and soon, which is saying a great deal when it is remembered that there were upwards of 5,000 more visitors went down by rail on this occasion than have ever been despatched on any previous Cup Day, Of course, a very large number also went by road, but these were Ascot road visitors. No doubtful teams and overloaded vans—no " gay" animals with vi c i ous eccentricities; no ji bbi ng b rutes, capa bl e o f indefinite entanglement with the traces on the shortest notice, and always ready to back into the stream of vehicles behind. In their stead were the well kept barouches or stately four-in-hands crowded inside with ladies, whose oyerflowing toilettes bloomed out of the windows in soft piles of ineffable millinery, looking in brightness and in colour like the loads which are despatched by nurserymen to take first prizes at a flower show. The Stand was crowded, not only in the Stand itself, but in the enclosure in front—so thronged that there was little more than stand ing room in any part of it. Even the minor and supple-, mentary Stands on either side were filled before one o'clock in the day, and thousands who were willing to pay for seats sought for them everywhere in vain. Never probably on any Cup Day has there been a more brilliant or a more aristocratic assemblage. The fun of the course was en tirely of the quiet and recherche order we have indicated. There were a few fluent sharpers in gorgeous liveries like my lord's beet-kept best serving man, who had been suddenly ordered by their noble masters to leave the carriage and sell sovereigns for sixpences—a mode of doing good and benefiting the community which might be singular, but, as they avowed, was not less praiseworthy, as indeed the country people seemed to think until they made a purchase. There were monkeys in wonderful toilettes and ample crinolines, like Lady Gullivers in Brobdignag ; there were well-dressed ballad-singers, with here and there quick little men, all eyes, who drove a furtive trade with peas and thimbles, supported by a man in gaiters and broad-brimmed hat, and generally counterfeiting honesty, who won all the money, and grinned from ear to ear in true agricultural abandon till a loud voice called out "hedge" as a patrol drew near, when they all saw friends in different directions, and went after them on the instant. All, however, was very quiet, and perfectly en ragle. No noise, no hubbub, no loud clanging of the bell and ruthless clearing of the coarse, but " Ladies, by your leave; gentlemen, the horses are coming; do pray keep outside the ropes," and so on. Just before the first race their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales came on the ground. It was not the old grand procession as when h.r Majesty and the Prince Consort used to come in state, but still they came with a well-appointed and handsome cortege, amply sufficient to mark Royalty, though diminished enough to prove that it did not mark the Sovereign. Their welcomewas, of course, n itl o f e a f m or i e ly th h e av C v u i p ew:i t i ha th n e t s h e e r y ac d e o s. enthusiastic, and they passed amid the most loyal acclama tions o f i• ae ight to the Stand from which so many of our attention as JanYe—S pantomime.

The gardens in the neighbourhood were overrun and plun dered, and no attempt was made to keep the road traffic in order. If Berkshire is to support a police, there never was more occasion fir its service, and never were its duties more conspicuously neglected. The following are the details of each race : A.

Petersham jumped away with a decided lead, having Curie, Glance colt, the Lady Evelyn colt, and Kangaroo lying up; but before they had proceeded 200 yards Curie slipped up and fell, giving Fordham a severe fall, and he was immediately removed from the course, Ashmall at the same time narrowly escaping a little mishap, his horse coming down on his nose and knees, but was cleverly picked up. These mishaps gave a long lead to Petersham, who with the Glance colt went on with a long lead, followed by Kangaroo to the mile-post, where Petersham bolted, leav ing the lead with Glance colt, who come into the straight with a slight lead. Half way up Ashmall brought up the favourite, and won in a canter by a length and a half. Petersham was a wretched third. Kangaroo did not pass the post. A.

At the third attempt they left the post, in close company, but after running a few strides Gem of the Sea, going in the centre of the course, drew in advance, having Perseverance, Vindicta, Erin-go• Bragh, and the Senorita colt as her im mediate followers, the latter lying wide on the stand side. On reaching the Stand Gem of the Sea drew away ; the Senorita colt at the . same time took the second place, but failed to reach the leader, who won very cleverly by a neck; half a length between the second and third. Etin-go-Bragh was fourth, Perseverance fifth, Brother to Rubini sixth, Imposition and King of Italy being the next two; the last two were Duchess of Kent and Vaulter. The St. James's Palace Stakes of 160 says each, h ft, for 3-yr-olds ; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b ; maidens allowed 71b. Old mile. 11 subs.

Betting-6 to 4on The Scottish Chief, 100 to 30 agst Knight of Snowdon, and 10 to 1 agst any other. 1 hey ran nearly in a line to the foot of the hill, wh ere The Orphan, lying wide on the left, took up the runni ng , with the favourite in the centre, having Knight of Snow don, Master Richard, and the Naughty Boy's dam colt lying up with him. Approaching the old Stand the favourite came out and won in a canter by a length, twice that dial tance separating the second and third, and a head between third and fourth. Glendusk was fifth, Procella sixth, Rose neath seventh, and Baldwin next. The last three were Gentilhomme, Airedale, and The Orphan. Immediately after the race 10 to 1 was taken in hundreds about the Winner, but subsequently 9 to 1 was the highest offer. The Gold Cup, by subscription of 20 sovs each, with 200 added from the fund, The cup will be of 300 sovs value ; we ights for age. About 21 miles. 28 subs. Mr. Merry's Buckst one, 4 yrs. Bst 71h (A.

El ean or, for the purpose of s erving her stable companion immediatelye , the f u rushed the g t o o ingon front, and made play at her best pcsecond, with Carisbrook and Buc k s tone third and fourth, and Hurricane and Caller Ou lying away. On passing the Sta nd, Buckstone ran past Mr. a av o rite Boyce's colt, and went on in waiting upon the two leaders to the foot of the hill, where the pace somewhat decreased, and on approaching the lime kilns Tim 'Whiffler joined his stable companion, the pair running in company to the old mile post, where the filly was disposed of, and was seen in a few strides after in the extreme rear, leaving the command with Tim Whiffler, who came on with a decided lead to the road, where Buckstone drew for ward, Carisbrook still lying third, Caller Ou at the same time quitting her rearward position, and taking the fourth place. Rounding the bend for home the two leaders ap peared to get upon closer terms, and as they approached he distance shuts arose from the stand of "Whiffler wins," but which were speedily superseded by the shouts of the partisans of the yellow jicket and black cap as Buck stone reached his antagonist at the enclosure, the balance of favour, as the two ran locked together to the end, remain ing equal until the fiat of the judge (who was unable to separate them) was made manifest by the exhibition of the numbers 4 and 6 side by side, making it a dead heat. Hurricane, who ran past, the others, who pulled up, was placed third by the judge, although beaten off a long way. The other trotted past the post at similar intervals. The race was run in 4 rain. 381 sec. Deciding Heat—Betting 7 to 4 on Tim Whiffler. who made the running at a strong pace, followed by Buckstone under waiting orders to the entrance into the straight, where the latter got closer, and Edwards,_with commend able patience, bided hie time until they reached the centre ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL. A general Court of the Governors of this Hos pital was held yesterday at the London-bridge Railways Terminus Hotel to receive a report of the proceedings of the Grand Committee in continuing the negotiation with the governors of Bethlehem Hospital, and also to receive the Grand Commit tee's suggestions with a view to prevent any further delay in fixing on a site for a new hospital. Sir John Musgrove, President of the Hospital, took the chair, and there were about 50 governors present. The minutes of the last General Court and of the proceedings of the Grand Committee since the 21st of April last were read and approved. A long correspondence between the Grand Com mittee and the authorities of Bethlehem Hospital was alsa read. Mr. BROOKES considered that the committee had lost much valuable time in communicating with the authorities after the very decided resolution that body had come to not to cede to St. Thomas's Hos pital the site on which their building stood. Alderman DARIN asked whether the committee had had their attention drawn to a site in West square which had been mentioned by Messrs. Poole and Gamlen, and which probably might be found as convenient as the site at Bethlehem Hospital itself. Mr. BAGGALLEY (the treasurer) said he knew the firm to which the worthy alderman had referred, and also the locality he had spoken of. There were about 126 houses on the site, letting at £4O, £5O, and £6O a year, and they covered two streets. Still, the question was an open one. Alderman DAKIN said the owner of the property would be a willing vendor. The PRESIDENT said in reference to the extent of the property (which was a point always to be borne in mind) he believed it was about seven and a half acres. _ _ Mr. SOUTH (the retired surgeon of St. Thomas's Hospital, and who attended for the first time as a governor) said he had no doubt the gentleman who owned the property was anxious to be a vendor. He (Mr. South) knew the property well, and it was, in his opinion, as unfitting a position for a hospital as as any that could be found. Alderman DAKIN thought it a great pity that their architect, Mr. Correy, and the professional gentleman connected with Bethlehem Hospital had not conferred together before any plan had been prepared by the former gentleman. The PRESIDENT —That was sought by the com mittee again and again, but was often refused by the authorities of Bethlehem. Alderman DAKIN said, after looking at the plan proposed by Mr. Correy, that there appeared to him to be such a mixing together of apartments and arrangements, that the whole thing seemed never intended to be successfully carried out. Mr. TITE, M.P., agreed with the worthy alder man that there ought to have been greater harmony between the two bodies. In the first instance the Grand Committee proposed as the natural course to be taken, if it were meant to come to a conclusion on the subject, that the architects should meet and discuss the general nature of the arrangements re quired ; because it was impossible to come .to any conclusion with which they could approach the Court of Chancery or the Leglislature until they knew what to lay before those tribunals. But the general resolution with which they were met by the Bethlehem authorities was that Mr. Correy might prepare a plan, but that they declined to come to any arrangement in respect to it, as -it was =pos. Bible to come to any conclusion as to what the build ing of a new Bethlehem Hospital would cost. Mr, Correy had no alternative but to prepare the plan he had submitted to the' committee, and that gene tleman was not obnoxious in the least degree to any of the remarks which had been made upon the subject of that plan. As to the accom modatiOn afforded by that plan not being sufficient, when it was so stated, the Grand Committee said they would make one more attempt, and accord ingly they observed to the Bethlehem authorities that it was no use going on talking and writing, and losing time ; and then ask ed them whether th ey and sit down and look at the whole , to that was, that a would meet the Treasurer of St. Thomas l 's u ll es o u s o P n ita a l s , practical men.

He had nothing whatever to do with them. He was asked whether he would give evidence to the court; he said yes, but upon one condition, that whatever sums might be awarded to him for his services (and he saw no reason why he should work gratuitously for a railway—(hear, hear)—he should be permitted to hand it over to the fund he had some years ago created for the promo ticn of the medical school of the hospital. If there must be an arbitration so must there also be sur veyors on both sides. This had been the case in the present instance, and chargeb had been made on both sides, which charges were now under the con sideration of the proper parties appointed for that purpose. - • Alderman SYDNEY, without wishing to suppress anything that might assume the character of a charge against any member of that court who might be fairly amenable to such charge, yet he would on that occasion prefer hearing the report of the Grand Committee. Mr. BROOKES thought if there was anything in the nature of a charge against Mr. Tite, that gen tleman being so well able to answer for himself, the sooner the charge was answered ore way or the other the better it would be for all concerned. Mr. ELT,tcrT said he only intended to offer a few words that might have aiibrded some vindicatth. at a statement which had evidently been written by a man who knew a great deal about the matter on which he was writing. That letter broadly stated that a claim 11,d been sent in for £740 by Mr. Tite, and by Mr. Clifton (as we understood) for £740, he having been up to a recent period a partner of Mr. Tite. Mr. TITE denied that that gentleman had ever been his partner, or that he had ever been connected with him in any way. He was an honourable and honest man, but if he had received £lO,OOO for his services he (Mr. 'rite) would have had nothing to do with it. The subjeet then dropped, and The general report of the committee was read. It stated that on the 20th of January last the Grand Committee communicated to the governors the par ticulars and plans of seven sites :-1. Bethlehem Hospital ; 2. Fishmongers' Company's land, Wel worth ; 3 and 4. Surrey Gardens ; 5. Land behind Newington Church ; 6. Myatt's Ground, Camber well New-road ; and 7. Lambeth Thames Embank ment. The Grand Committee reported that they expected the concurrence of the general court, that it was useless to press their negotiations with Bethlehem Hospital further. At the same time the committee did not regret the delay which these negotiations had occasioned, the object being to benefit two great charities. The Fishmongers' Corn- pang's land had been disposed of ; the land behind Newington Church was a site possessing great ad vantages, and there was no doubt that it was only second in value to the site of Bethlem Hospital ; but the Court had been already informed that it could not be obtained without Parliamentary coin pulsory powere, and the committee had been ad vised that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to obtain such powers. In respect to the Lambeth Thames Embankment that proposition had been withdrawn. The Surrey Gardens were two feet below high-water mark, and contained about 141 acres, but there were about 40 houses in the neigh bourhood which when purchased would increase the quantity of land to about 17 acres. There was no difficulty likely to occur with the parties to whom the land belonged, but at the same time it was appre hendedht that great delay and large expense be occasioned by reason of the nu mber 0 personsnaig whose interests would have to be purchased . The purchase money,including for the 17 acres, was estimated at £116,00e01. Pe l n 'ti se is s' site was rather more than smile and a quarter from London, Black• friars, and Westminseter bridges,, and there was a h railway station at t Elep h a nt and Castle. Myatt's ground was situate is Camberwell New-road, lead ing from Kennin gton Church to Camberwell-gre en . It was abou t 20ft. higher than the level of Surrey gardens, and 18ft. above high-water mark. It tnight he purchased without any difficulty, and the price for 20 acres was £26,500, and mote land to the extent, in the whole, of 40 acres might be purchased at the same rate of £1,325 per acre. This site was 21 mi es from London and Blackfriars bridges, and rather a less distance from Westminster-brid ,, e. It was within the radius that seemed to have been prescribed by some of the parishes. The land at Newing ton available for a hospital was about 14 acres. It was situated nearest to the ancient site, and would have the advantage of a frontage to a new road con necting Kennington and Westminster bridge roads. It was about the same level as Bethlehem. The estimated cost, in the event of compulsory powers being obtained, would amount to £90,000. The re port concluded by giving the statistics of the tem porary hospital at Surrey-gardens. From Sept. 15, 1862, to March 31, 1863, inclusive, there had been 215 accidents ;• 90 of those patients would appear to have come from districts north of the Surrey-gar dens, extending to Wandsworth, Vauxhall, Clap ham, Camberwell, Say.; and 7 patients came from Public interest has been for some time directed to a vessel building in the Tees at the yard of Messrs. W. Pearse and Co. (foimerly Pearse and Lockwcod). It was currently reported that this ship was intended for war purposes, and with the object of following in the steps of the notorioas Alabama. All kinds of reports referring to her have been in circulation, one affirming that she had extra thick iron plates, another that arms and ammunition were to be sur reptitiously supplied to her, a fourth affirming that she was fitted to carry troops, and, lastly, that she had a fighting crew engaged. It appears, however, that none of these reports could be proved, es the authorities have permitted the vessel co leave the river. She left her moorings at Stockton with the spring tide at 3 30 p.m. on Tuesday, and dropped down the river to Middlesborough without diffi culty ; with the high tide of the following morning she got over the bar and ran up to Hartlepool Bay, from whence she started on her trial trip 7.30 e.m. this morning. The Southerner, for that is her name, is a pretty looking iron screw-steamer, 310 feet long from figurehead to stern, and 38 feet broad amidships ; registered tonnege, 2,000 tons. Her engines, made by Messrs. Fossick and Hackworth, of Stockton, have direct action ; 300-horse power, fitted with superheating and feed-heating apparatus; the diameter of the cylinders is 60 inches, and the length of the stroke 33 inches. She is expected to attain a speed of 12 knots an hour. The vessel has been about 12 months in building, atmemets on March 7—the day when the Princess A. xandra entered London. She is built for Mess ~ Fraser, Trenholme, and Co., of Liverpool. There is a spacious saloon extending the whole width of the ship, and accommodation for about 90 first-class passengers is provided. There are also deck-cabins amidships for the butcher, baker, cook, &c. There are twelve furnaces, and a multitubular boiler. The crockery, saloon-plate, cutlery, and cabin fittings bear the figure of the Palmetto, and the letters C.S.C., which is under stood to mean " Charleston Steam Company." Ar rangements are made for warming and ventilating the cabins, which are neatly fitted up. The plates of the ship's side are stated to be of the ordinary thickness, and the purpose of the ship is declared to be " purely mercantile." The Southerner, it appears, was ordered when it was supposed that the war in the States would be quickly over ; but there being no trade to Charleston, she is reported to be intended to ply in the Mediterranean trade. She has been built under the superintendence of Mr. Butcher, of the Royal Naval Reserve, who took out the Alabama, and who now takes command of this vessel, the first officer being Mr. James Mit chell, and the second Mr. Jones. Both of these gentlemen, as well as the boatswain, served, we be lieve, under Capt. Butcher before. The Southerner, with the Palmetto flag flying at the mizen and a flag bearing her name at the mein, left the outside of the harbour at 7.30 a.m. this morning, and steered due south, as fares Scar borough. The party, which consisted of upwarkds of 70 ladies and gentlemen besides th e crew, brea fasted and dined on board, returni n g to West Hart lepool at 3.30 p.m., and entering the inner harbour h ears per p r e veiled, and beyond a g with safety. ea ro und swell During the trip the m ost beau l t l if t u h lewseatw fectly calm.

The Southerner will have her compasses adjusted in the bay of Hartle pool, an d also have Borne farther additio ns ma d e to her fittings, &c. She will then, it is expected, pro ceed to Liverpool, where she will take her regular crew on board and proceed to her destination. p it oti sv h as in d l a se y l e f. befe c r e e nt l i g hc I . wonder how a coroner lives , moves ; and has his being without being terrified little unforeseen occurrence iievi may not t e o h r s r i e t d u , n l t s lest r a i t n g e \ a . e brotherry turnc coroner e a r mind, that we were continually lleldn gethwoi w t thhi lightly t he hg accidents m. o oc n curred, n i s ace th e o of lastou our ife In all probability, however, th y e coroner per son in existence to feel these foolish fancies, as death in his experience comes from so many and from such conflict mg causes, that the one balances the other, and thus keeps his fears in a happy equilibrium.
