T HE MAIL STEAM-SHIP for AUSTRALIA, 4th April.—The QUEEN of the SOUTH, 1,800 tons, Com- Inlander W. H. NORMAN, one of the fleet of the General Screw Steam ;shipping Company, is appointed to Leave SOUTHAM PTON on the 4th of April, with her Majesty's mails, for ADELAIDE, PORT PHILIP, and SYDNEY. The Queen of the South, which was the pioneer ship of the Indian mail steam-ship line (via she Cape of Good Hope), returned from Calcutta to Plymouth on the 26th of February last, her third voyage, punctually to an hour—a significant fact, and worthy of note. especially when it is considered that the distance is about 27,000 miles by se a, and that she had to stop at seven ports outward, and eight homeward. This feat has not been accomplished by any ships in the world but by those belonging to the General Screw Steam shipping Company. The Queen of the South is sister :ship to the Argo (also one of this Company's fleet), which reached Australia from Southampton in G 4 days, and returned to England I n the same time. The Argo was the first steam-ship that returned round Cape Horn, thus literally circumnavigating the globe in 128 days, which has yet to be equalled. It is deemed but just to the public to state these facts, that they may know what this Company's magnificent vessels have done, and thus be able to form a rational calculation as to what they are likely to do in their service to Australia. It is also essen tial to prevent these vessels being confounded with others which have not been so fortunate. - The mail service to Australia will be continued by the General Screw Steam-shipping Company every alternate month until further Uottce. The Queen of the South is ship rigged (the Argo was barque rigged), and it is not unreasonable to anticipate that, with favourable - wind, she will make the passage to Australia hi 60 days, or less, thus affording to passengers and shippers a most desirable opportu nity for quick transit, that, under existing circumstances in the East, may possibly not occur again for some time. The arrange ments for passengers are unsurpassed for comfort and elegance. Rates of passage•money, 50 guineas to 100 guineas. Freight. 9/. per ton and 5 per cent.—Full particulars at the Company's Oflces, No. 1, Adelaide-place, London-bridge. ELECTRIC POWER LIGHT and COLOUR COMPANY. The Electric Colour Company are now able, by the completion of their works at Frogmore• creek, which are at present in full opera tion, to SUPPLY any quantity of their DRY ELECTRIC COLOURS, which, from their brilliancy, durability, body, purity, and price, cannot fail to obtain a preference by the trade generally over those made by the ordinary processes.

Illustrated by !i0 coloured Engrav ings, on the Anatomy of the Reproductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease. By SAMUEL LA'MERT. M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine Matr i cu lated Member of the University of Edit). burgh, Honorary ' Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusa lie particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts ed of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazard the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. f It is absolutely necessary that all men shoul d know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grevous penalties, d when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday i of inconsiderate an sel f-i n dulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con,equene es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any d e g ree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES. —It is very probable the Emperor of Russia will get more than he bar gained for, and, more probable, he will meet with an interruption called a complete defeat. The f , rces of England and France will pro , ably cut such a figure as will leave no doubt of the consequences of the affray. All countries look upon the issue with as much in • terest as all classes feel in witnessing the unity of the skill Eng land, France, and every other nation , as it is displayed by . MOSES and SON in their magnificent String and Summer Attire, which evinces unparalleled experience and inimitable business activity, and will ensure the most brilliant success for their City and West-end Establishments. The numberless novelties in materials and designs in Dress for all classes, and the most economical charges for Attire, Bespoke or Ready-made, will claim the attention of ladies and gen tlemen in every rection in society. Whatever conjectures may have been made respecting the Spring and Summer preparations of E. Moses and Soil, the most probable consequence is that they are des tined to be infinitely surpassed, for at no period of time and by no house of business whatever were ever collected such a Splendid, Fashionable, and Seasonable Stock of Clothing, Hats, Hosiery, Ladies' Dress Boots and Shoes, &c., as at the Establishments of E. Moses and Son at the present time. All necessary information is gratuitously supplied by E. MOSES and Son to Emigrants, and the best and cheapest Outfits to any country and climate are furnished for Ladies, Gentlemen, and Families. E. Moses and SoN 's immense Wholesale Clothing, Shirt, and Boot and Shoe Department, furnishes the greatest advantages to Mer chants, Captains, and Emigrants, in the superior quality, suitability, and price of the goods. CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the nubile against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for ihvlous reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 84 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

The Royal mail steam-ship Orinoco, Captain Wilson, arrived here this morning direct from Malta, having left that island on the evening of the 17th. It will be re membered that the Orinoco was ope of the ships offered to Government by the Royal West India Mail Steam-packet Company for the conveyance of troops, and she was the first ship of the expedition that arrived at Malta. Some idea may be formed of the great facilities afforded for the transport service in war time by ships of the Orinoco's class, by the following analysis of the recent voyage :—The Orinoco left Southampton on the 23d of February, having received on board 990 of the Coldstream Guards and 13 horses. She reached Malta on the 4th of March, disembarked the troops, baggage, horses, ordnance stores, &c. ; filled up coals and water during the night, and left next morning for Gibraltar, at which fortress she arrived on the 9th inst., and received 573 tons of coal, embarked 973 of the 44th Regiment with their baggage and eight horses ; left the next day at two o'clock ; arrived off Malta on the evening of the 14th of March ; entered Valetta harbour at daylight the next morning ; di embarked troops, &c., filled up coals and water complete for England, and sailed on the even ing of the 17th of March, returningto Southampton this day, having been absent from England only 32 days, during which she has traversed 6,226 miles. The Are thusa, Captain Mends, was lying at Malta when the Orinoco left, loading with stores for the fleet, and would leave early the ensuing week. The Vulcan, Commander Von Donop, was also receiving coals for the same desti nation. Her Majesty's steamer Ardent arrived from the fleet on the afternoon of the 16th of March, and the Banshee early on the morning of the 17th, from Con stantinople, with a special messengexa‘bastd ; she left again, before daylight, for Marseilles." AL 4:7_ I The Orinoco is to be coaled, watered, and provisioned immediately, and held at the disposal of the Government for further service, if necessary. She will be got ready for sea by Friday or Saturday next. The Trent, belong ing to the same company, will be ready for the reception of troops on the 30th inst., and the Medway on the Ist of April. The Orinoco, Trent, and Medway are capable of carrying three regiments. The two latter ships, after taking out troops, are, we understand, to be employed for a considerable time in the Mediterranean and Black Sea under Government orders. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 27. The St. George, 121, Captain Byres, C. 8., at Spit head, we were told this morning, is still about 400 short of her number of 970. The Coast-guardmen she shipped, prior to leaving Devonport, have been withdrawn from her. A ship is standing in from the eastward, apparently one of the horse transports from the Thames. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 27. Rear-Admiral Montagu Stopford arrived here yester day, and hoisted his flag (Blue) at the mizen, on board the Royal William, 120, ordinary guard-ship, as Com modore-Superintendent of the Devonport Dockyard, in the absence of Captain M. Seymour, doing duty as cap tain of the fleet on board the Duke of Wellington, 131. At 8 a.m. to-day Admiral Stopford proceeded into the Sound, and paid wages on board the screw steam-ship James Watt, 91, Captain the Hon. George Elliott. At 1 p.m. Lieutenant-Colonel F. Graham, who is appointed to command the Royal Marines in the Baltic fleet, em barked in the James Watt, and at 5 p.m. she left the Sound for Portsmouth. The 20th Regiment, stationed at Devonport, expect to embark on the Bth of April for the Baltic fleet. WOOLWICH, MARCH 27. A casting took place on Friday last, at the foundry in Woolwich Dockyard, of a fine brass screw propeller for the James Watt, 91, screw steam-ship, and, although 10/ tons of metal were used in the casting, it was suffici ently cool to be taken out of its mould to-day, and was found to be perfect in every respect. The workmen, by continuing at their employment in making the mould, sometimes as late as 10 o'clock, p.m., were enabled to make the casting sooner than would otherwise have been the case, although it was required as early as possible to enable the James Watt to proceed to join the Baltic fleet. The Algiers, 91, screw steam-ship, has had a brass screw propeller already supplied to her of the same pattern as has been cast for the James Watt ; and the Nile, 91, sorew steam-ship, and the Hannibal, 91, screw steam-ship, are to have similar brass screw pro pellers cast for them.

The United States' mail steam-ship Nashville, Captain Berry, arrived off Cowes this evening, on her way to Havre. She left New York at noon on the 14th inst. On the 15th, in long. 68, she spoke the ship Devonshire, from London, for New York. At the same time she passed the wreck of the brig Express, of Liverpool, abandoned. On the 19th of March, in lat. 44 30, long. 48 13, saw several icebergs and great quantities of field ice. On the same day spoke the ship Tuscarora, from Liverpool, for Philadelphia. On the 22d, at 1 p.m., Madame de la Costa, a native of France, a cabin passenger, died, and was buried at sea on the same day. This steamer brings news of one week later date than that previously received. The steam-ship North Star arrived at New York on the 11th inst., with dates from San Francisco to the 16th of February. The mail was brought through from California in 22 days and a half. Business at San Francisco was unusually dull even worse than our previous advices represented it, not withstanding money had become somewhat easier in consequence of an increased production of gold dust ; and commercial affairs were in a more pro gressive state than had existed at any former pe riod for at least two years past. The production of gold from the mines (the account adds) is evidently becoming more limited, and the shipments are gra dually falling off. That there is plenty of gold left in the mountains and along the streams of Califor nia, we will not pretend to doubt, but the cream has been taken away, and what remains can only be procured by slow and tedious operations, and, at the present high prices of labour, by unrequited toil. The time previous to the sailing of the last steamer Irani Sa..Erailai..%) , ,Aladi—Weil fAYQ. l 4rable_ for mining operations. According to the last advices from the Republic of Sonora, President Walker had despatched his army against the Apache Indians, who have hitherto mur dered and robbed the whites with perfect impunity. By this movement he will doubtless enlist the sym pathies of the majority of the people, who will join his cause and assist in resisting all attempts of the mother country,Mexico, to regain possession of the territory, she having never been able to defend them against the Indians or provide them with of ficials disposed to administer affairs for the benefit of any otherpersons than themselves. A threatened mutiny in the camp of Col. Walker was summarily settled by an order for the disaffected to withdraw immediately. 45 of them therefore left and return ed to California. By the arrival of the Star of the West from San Juan we learn that a launch containing a large number of passengers was recently capsized on Virgin Bay, Lake Nicaragua. Twenty-four per sons were drowned, the bodies of 19 of whom had been recovered. The new clipper ship San Francisco, 1,400 tons, with a large and valuable cargo of merchandise, had been lost on the rocks near San Francisco. The steamer Golden Gate had been got off, and had safely arrived at San Francisco. The Chinese emigration had again commenced, and 800 Celestials, in three vessels, had reached San Francisco. The seizure of the steam-ship Black Warrior by the Cuban authorities had been the cause of a pro tracted session of Congress at Washington. It was understood, says the Herald, that the President would transmit to Congress a strong message rela tive to the affair, accompanied with numerous docu ments connected with this and other recent illus trations of Spanish perfidy, as soon as the papers could be properly arranged. The New York Herald also adds, that an at tempt was made in the House of Representatives to introduce a resolution, authorising the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs to inquire into and report upon the recent outrages committed by the Spanish officials on the property and persons of American citizens. It is intimated in our despatch that the President will recommend to Congress the pro priety of immediately withdrawing from the neu tral relationship existing between the two Govern ments. Should such a policy be carried out (con tinues the Herald), it is needless to add that every vestige of Spanish dynasty on this continent would be swept away in a brief period. News from the Great Salt Lake states that the Indians of that region are in such a state of excite ment as to render it dangerous for emigrants to cross the country. Walker, the noted Utah chief, who was instru mental in murdering Gamson and his party, having been joined by the Camanches and Apaches, was about to commence hostilities with the Mormons for refusing to supply him with the same number of wives as allowed to Governor Younge. Several Indian tribes were at war among themselves, and the prospect is, that unless the Government sends out a strong military force, the people will suffer dreadfully during the coming season. Letters from Port-au-Prince of the Ist of Febru ary state that fever had entirely disappeared. The Secretary of the Navy had transmitted a message to the House of Representatives in reply to the resolution of inquiry relative to the adapta bility of the various mail steamers to war purposes in case of emergency. It was thought impra3tica ble to convert them into war steamers, but they might be made useful in transporting troovs and munitions, and also in annoying the enemy as pri vateers. The Herald, in relation to this subject says. " Let the miserable system of patching up cld hulks and officering them with worn-oat commandersbe aban doned at once. , Pass a bill authorising the construction of half-a-dozen or more ships of war besides the six steamers already called for, and give the wold to un derstand that we are able and determined to maintain our rights, not only on this continen t, but w h erever o u r flag is unfurled. The last insult put uponus by the Cuban authorities, doubtless with the consent and, per haps, with the connivance of England and France, calls aloud for action." The United States' sloop-of-war Cyanearrived at Aspinwall on the Ist of March from Caleconia-bay. Nothing had been heard of Lieutenart Strain's expedition. The New York stock-market showil a slight falling off in prices. There was a moderite demand for exchange on London as 108:1 to 109. The cotton-market had bee n un f a vourably Lffected by the news per Atlantic and Asia from the side, and by the advance in freights, and prices 13 declined J„c. to ic. The flour-market was bactive, but d holders were not disposed to press sales Provisions quiet. Freights to Liverpool firmer with free offerings of grain. SETTLEMENT AND REMOVAL BILL. The new Irish difficulty cost ministers a defeat last night, the second reading of the Settlement and Re moval Bill being adjourned to the 28th of April, by a division of 209 to 183. Such mishaps are the invariable penalty of almost the greatest sin a statesman can com mit—not being entirely prepared. The best army and the best general in the world may be beaten by a very inferior foo if one important division of the force is but a little too late, if a position is not occupied in time, or some ordinary provision neglected. Unquestionably Lord Palmerston should have known what he was about before he allowed Mr. Baines to bring in his bill, and should hare taken care that the coast was quite clear. So far from its being clear, no sooner was the bill in the house than the Irish members, very naturally, we think, insisted on the extension of the measure to Ire land. We have already expressed our belief that in prac tice, and on the actual appeal to the feelings of the people, it would be found impossible to sustain a distinction be tween English and Irish applicants for relief. We con ceive, therefore, that Lord Palmer s to n , u n d er th e pres sure described, had no alternative but to promise his best exertions towards removing this invidious feature of the measure. But here, again, it would seem, a mis take was committed. The Irish members were left under the impression that the bill itself would be amended so as to meet their wishes. This was found impossible, and another bill for the purpose was - 31- nounced on Friday. For our part, we see no adequate reason why all sides of the house should not have pro ceeded quietly to discuss the English bill on its own merits, leaving the yet unprepared Irish measure to take care of itself, when it should come on. However, the Irish would not proceed with the present bill while in ignorance of the measure intended for their own country ; and a considerable number of the English members have been equally distrustful ; the one party fearing that too little would be done for Ireland, - the other ecitritly-fear , ful of a too large concession ; and the result is, that the whole subject has been put off till after the Easter holydays. Lord Palmerston shows at last so thorough an appre ciation of the difficulties which surround the question on all sides, that the only wonder is he should not have re cognised them in time to escape last night's casualty. On the one hand, he appeals to the immense and indis pensable services of the Irish labourers at all the great seats of English industry. It is the Irishman who ex cavates our foundations, who throws in the concrete, who constructs the scaffolding, who carries the weighty materials up the tall ladder, who, in fact, does all the rough work of our cities. When this than sickens, and, after a hard struggle, applies for relief, is he to be re moved to Ireland, when his fellow-labourer, in precisely the same case, is saved from that inhospitable treatment specially on the ground of humanity ? As a mass, and as a regular element in our population, we cannot re gard the Irish as intruders. Liverpool and Manchester would not be Liverpool and Manchester but for the vicinity of an immense and hitherto inexhaustible sup ply of cheap, strong, and willing labour. The Irish are the rough foundation of this grand social fabric, and to treat them as if they had no business here is a folly only equal to that of the man who sets about deco rating and improving his house by removing foundations and beams the necessity of which he is too stupid to understand. That is the one side of the question before the house, and we see it so strongly that we can only wonder any Minister should propose to place the useful, hard-working Irishman, under so great a disability, as compared with his English fellow-labourer. On the other side, there is the great dark cloud of Irish pauperism ever ready to break And pour in —more, we are disposed to believe, in the imagination of English ratepayers than in the reality. But Rome itself, in the days of its luxurious decay, could not be in more constant fear of the savage multitudinous North than English cities are of Irish vagrancy, which they picture as an army of locusts that any wind m a y wa ft to our shores, and which will eat up every green leaf and all the food of man. Lord Palmerston thinks that something must be done. We can not undertake to maintain every vagrant wherever he may choose to pitch his tent and ask for a public allowance, so his Lordship suggests a year's industrial residence— that is, we presume, residence in one neighbourhood, with as much employment as is implied in no applica tion for relief. From this suggestion it is too clear that the Home Secretary has still to make his terms with the Irish members, and, as the simple fact of his entering into negociation with them has excited the terror of English ratepayers and their representatives, his Lord ship has managed to put himself and his colleagues be tween two fires, without much prospect of leaving them to settle it between themselves. It must be admitted, however, that the difficulty already exists, and is not one of his own making. We have come to it by a re gular and inevitable succession of changes. The only solution, as we think, is the final and entire assimilation of the English and Irish Poor Laws ; for, however hu manity may recoil from the cruel process of spurning the Trish hack to their country when they ask for re lief, justice and common sense equally resent the unfair ness of such a system of poor laws m Ireland as shall drive its pauperism upon the English ratepayer. Meanwhile, it is consolatory to observe the decided improvement in the tone with which the claims of poverty are discussed in these days compared with the discussions 20 years ago. Then the labourer was the most voracious vermin, the heaviest encumbrance, and the most imper tinent intruder on the soil of his birth. He had no right to marry and have children, unless at some very mature age, that should secure a perpetual decrease of popula tion. The great fear of our philosophers was, that we should have too much bone and sinew—too much of the stuff that has won our battles by sea and land, and that has since augmented the population of two continents by several millions. We have a Home Secretary who can see a labourer carry almost his own weight of bricks to the top of a house without regarding him as a unit in a surplus population, and one too many for England. The county members, almost in spite of themselves, talk respectfully of those by whose labour and hard ships we are what we are. Indeed, a new and strange fear is stealing upon us all. What if this same British labourer, this troublesome, devouring, ne'er-do-well being, whose perpetual demands for work grated so ill on the ears of our economists, and who was said to be undermining the social system, like those huge grubs that devour the inner bark of trees past their prime, should, after all, leave us ? What if we should actually live to want him ? So great is the change of feeling that we expect soon to find terms change their significance, and a provident marriage to mean that of a smart young fellow of 21 with a girl two or three years younger, without a roof over their heads, and half a dozen gen tlemen and farmers competing for the honour of building them a cottage. It may be long indeed before we come to that, but it is certainly much pleasanter to hear the staple of the British population spoken of as human beings and fellow-creatures than as noxious vermin, to be kept down by fair means or by foul. This very great change in the condition of labour and the increasing value of the human unit may, perhaps, disabuse our country gentlemen of the fear which still possesses them as to the overwhelming influx of Irish pauperism. The poor of that country are not deficient in natural affec tion, and they will not 'suffer their disabled relatives to be cast on our charities now that Ireland really can give employment to all. Some degree of precaution may, indeed, be necessary, and the Irish members ought in reason to submit to it, but the danger on our side has been immensely exaggerated ; and we should not have thought the English ratepayers utterly ruined even if the present bill had conceded the right of relief to the Irish as well as the English sojourner.—Times. RUSSIAN CARGOES. The following important despatch has just been re ceived from Lord Clarendon, in further reply to the re presentations of the parties interested in cargoes of Russian produce : Foreign-office, March 25, 1854. SIR, —I am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to state to you that since his lordship had the pleasure of seeing, on the 20th instant, the deputation of merchants con nected with the trade of Russia, his lordship has further considered the question put to him by the deputation, whether Russian produce brought over the frontier by land to Prussian ports, and shipped from thence by Bri tish or neutral vessels, will be subject to seizure by her Majesty's cruisers, and to subsequent confiscation in the High Court of Admiralty. Lord Clarendon conceives that the question will turn upon the true ownership of, or the interest or risk in, and the destination of, the property which may be seized or captured ; and that neither the place of its origin nor the manner of its conveyance to the port from whence it was shipped will be decisive, or even in most cases of any real importance. Such property, if shipped at neutral risk, of after it has become bond fide neutral property, will not be liable to condemnation, whatever may be its destination ; if it should still remain enemy's property, notwithstanding it is shipped from a neutral port," And in a neutral ship, it will be condemned, whatever may be its destination ; if it be British property, or shipped at British risk, or on British account, it will be condemned, if it is proved to be really engaged in a trade with the enemy, but not otherwise. The place of its origin will be immaterial, and if there has been a bona fide and complete transfer of ownership to a neutral (as by purchase in the neutral market), the goods will not be liable to condemnation, notwithstanding they may have come to that neutral market from the enemy's country, either overland or by sea. Lord Clarendon has, however, to observe that circum stances of reasonable suspicion will justify capture, although release and not condemnation may follow ; and that ships with cargoes of Russian produce may not im probably be considered, under certain circumstances, as liable to capture, even though not liable to condemna tion. I am, sir, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) H. U. ADDINGTON. ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.— Yesterday, at a few minutes after 3 o'clock, as a coal train was approaching the Harrow station, it came in violent contact with some empty trucks left upon its line of transit. A violent concussion ensued, by which several trucks were smashed and thrown off the line, covering the traffic rails with their debris, and delaying 1 the several trains for a couple of hours. We h ave no t heard that any person was seriously injured. ROYAL ARTILLERY. Captain Harrison's Company, 6th battalion, will leave the garrison to-morrow, by railway, for Liverpool, ea route to Dublin, to relieve Captain Graydon's Com pany, let battalion ; and the latter, on being relieved, will proceed to Portsmouth to relieve Captain Bing ham's Company, 12th battalion—the latter being under orders to return to head-quarters at Woolwich. Captain Ingleflehn, company, , 15111% bait - alio., have been placed under orders to proceed to Dublin, about the end of the present week, to relieve Major Rowan's Company, 12th battalion, ordered to return to head quarters. Captain Boxer's Company, 13th battalion, have been placed under orders to proceed to Devonport to relieve Captain Kennedy's Company, 7th battalion ; and the latter will proceed to Dublin to relieve Captain Frease's Company, 12th battalion, ordered to join at head-quarters here. DUBLIN, MARCH 27. The Earl of Cardigan left Dublin yesterday for Lon don, preparatory to his departure for the East. On Saturday his lordship "turned out" his regiment (the 11th Hussars) in heavy marching order, the men carry ing their haversacks, canteens, &c., and proceeded from Portobello Barracks, by a circuitous route, through the outlets of the city, not returning to quarters until an advanced hour in the evening. The troops were about five hours in the saddle. The 11th, or at least two squadrons, will form a portion of the cavalry contingent to the expeditionary army. Competent military autho rities class this corps, both as regards men and horses, as one of the most efficient light cavalry regiments in the service. The privates are uniformly of the middle stature, light built, and active, and, even with the pon derous and senseless trappings of Hussars, not over weighted for the horses, all of which are of a superior description and in splendid condition. The 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards are now concen trated at Newbridge preparatory to e mbarkation for the seat of war. Officers and men are in the highest spirits at the prospect of being shortly engaged in war service. Two troops are to be left as a depot. The 4th will em bark at Kingstown. Saturday forenoon a body of volunteers, consisting of I one serjeant, one corporal, and 32 private soldiers, all Scotchmen, serving hitherto in the *lst Regiment, em barked in the Foyle steamer, in order to join the 79th Highlanders, now at Portsmouth, and under orders for immediate embarkation for Malta. A corps of recruits recently joined, 36 in number, were marched from the depot at Beggars-bush to Alborough-barracks, and were assigned quarters therein. The City of Dublin Company's fine steamer Royal William, Captain Williams, commander, is now lying at her berth at the North - wall, having been chartered for th e conveyance of the next draught o f troops to Liver pool, whence the troop - ship will convey them to their destination. Five sergeants, three trumpeters, and 90 rank and file of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Capt. N. M. J. Mackay, will leave Portobello Barracks at 3 o'clock p.m., this day (Monday), r.nd proceed to the North-wall, where they will embark 181 horses for Wool wich. The horses are to make up the field batteries going on service, and several of these men will join the companies going to the seat of war with the second ex- Pedit.i Captain Graydon's Company, Ist battalion, will leave Portobello Barracks on Wednesday next, and proceed to the North-wall, where t he y wi ll embark en route to P or tsmouth, and will be replaced by Capt. Harrison's Company from Woolwich. The detachments n f from Royalthe 33d 49th, and 50th Regi ments will square, Royal B ar racks, at half-past 8 a.m. to - mor r ow (Tuesday), head e d by seve ral military bands , an d will the n proceed down by th e parade north side of the quays; throuili Parliament -street, Dame-street, College-green, and NaEsau-street, to West- land-row, and thence by special train to Kingstown, where they will embark on board ;tie Cambria to join their respective regiments at Malta. The 27th Regiment, now in this‘ garrison, having re ceived orders to furnish volunteerf, on last Friday 25 privates left the Palatine-square ailc proceeded to Rich mond Barracks, where they joined the 21st Royal North British Fusiliers. 75 privates have volunteered for the 34th Regiment, and will prbably leave Dublin to-morrow to join this regiment in England. On Saturday the 14th Regim9t, now stationed at Limerick, received orders to prepsfre for embarkation at Cork for Malta. The Bombay, 1,000 tons, is the transport selected for their conveyance. An order was on the same evening received in Limerick to transmit forthwith to Woolwich the 9-pounder guns for service in Turkey. There is not a single horse left with the large battery of artillery in Limerick. It is reported that the General and staff at Kilkenny are to be discontinued. Major tereneral ISUDonald's three years' command expires on the let of April. DISASTER TO THE MARCO POLO--LIVERPOOL, Monday. —The advices received by telegraph in anti c ip a ti on o f the overland mail announce that the celebrated packet ship Marco Polo, Captain M'Donnell, belonging to the Liverpool Black Ball line of packets, had got ashore at Melbourne, after another extraordinary run, and it is feared that she will not be got off. The Marco Polo sailed from Liverpool on the 9th of November, with 661 passengers, who, we are glad to learn, were all landed in safety. The Marco Polo also took out a very heavy mail, replies to which have been received by the present arrival, the course of post thus being four months and a half. Should she not be got off, we understand that her owners intend that their splendid new ship now building at Boston by the builder ef the Lightning, and which it was their intention to call the James Baines, shall be called the Marco Polo. She will be a much larger vessel than the Lightning, and will be launched in July. [PRICE SD. DR. BARTH'S AItRIVAL AT TIMBUCTOO. TO THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN. SlR,—Despatches and private letters have this morn ing been receiv e d f rom D r. Barth, announcinghis safe arrival at that celebrated city, Timbuctoo. In order not to encroach tou greatly on your valuable space, the reader may b e re f erred to the account of the expedition under Dr. Barth just published by authority of her Majesty's Foreign-office, in which work all the i reasons which prompted Dr. Barth to venture on that lundertaking are explained, and the first portion of the journey itself is described. It suffices to observe that when Dr. Barth, in Sept., 1852, lost his only companion, Dr. 0 verweg, he saw him se lf re l uc t ant l y compelled to abandon for the time the contemplated journey across the continent towards the Indian Ocean. lie resolved, how ever, with true heroism, to undertake alone the journey Timbuctoo, which, though greatly less in magnitude than a journey would be to the Indian Ocean, was looked upon as a most difficult and dangerous attempt. "As the sole survivor of the mission" (so wrote Dr. Barth before his departure from Kuka) "the completion of its ob jects now devolving entirely on me, I feel my powers doubled, and my mind all the more determined, single handed, to follow up the results already obtained. My means consist of a tolerable supply of presents, in addi tion to 200 dollars, four camels, and four horses. My health is in the best condition, and, with five trustworthy, long-tried servants, well armed, and having plenty of powder and shot with us, I shall, with fresh and re doubled courage, and with full confidence of success, start on my journey to Timbuctoo." Accordingly Dr. Barth, a man who never boasts with empty words, set out from Kuka by the end of Novem ber, 1852, and proceeded first to Sakatu, by way of Zin der and Kashna, the route by Ilano being impracticable on account of the war in that region between the Bour nouese and Fellatahs. The last letters received from him were dated Kashna, 6th March, 1853 ; those re ceived this day from Timbuctoo (by way of Teat) bear dates ranging from the 7th of September to the sth of October last, and none of the various letters despatched during the six months from March to September have as yet reached Europe. The details of his proceed ings during that time, therefore, comprising the whole of his journey from Kashna to Timbuctoo, are yet unknown. It appears, however, that the gene ral direction of his route from Sakatu to Timbuctoo was at first west-north-west, and that he crossed the Kowara (commonly called Niger) at Say, an important place, of considerable size, situated in about 14 deg. north latitude and 3 deg. 45 min. east longitude Green wich, 150 geographical miles west-north-west from Sa katu. Both from this place and Libtako he had de spatched letters to Europe by way of Sakatu. Libtako is a large place, situated in about 14 deg. 40 min. north latitude, and 0 deg. 30 min. east longitude, 335 geogra phical miles from Sakatu and 240 from Timbuctoo. From Libtako to Timbuctoo, the general direction of Dr. Barth's course was north-west, till he reached Sarai yamo, a large town 60 miles south of Timbuctoo, and situated on a tributary or branch of the Kowara. On the former river he embarked on the Ist of September. At first it presented a fine sheet of water, 300 yards in width, but afterwards a more intricate system of narrow meandering channels, partly overgrown with reeds and grass, at a distance of 40 miles in a straight line from Saraiyamo. After a very tedious zigzag navigation, he entered the main stream, the Kowara, on the 4th of September, near the village of Koromeb, presenting a magnificent aspect, covered, as it was, with a numerous fleet of vessels and boats of various sizes. Crossing the Kowara and entering a creek on its northern side, Dr. Barth reached Kabara on the next following day. KAbara is only a small town of 400 houses and huts, but has attained great celebrity as the port of Timbuctoo. It scarcely, however, deserves that distinction, as it is approachable by water only eluring four months of the year at an average, and at most during five months, when the floods are unusually high. The creek on which it is situated is of so inconsiderable a size and depth that even at the time of Dr. Barth's visit, which was during the rainy season, the boat, bearing only himself and his effects, had to be dragged up to the place with great difficulty ; the creek mea sured about 15 feet across, and the water scarcely reached up to the boatmen's knees. The docks of Kabara, has an artificial, large handsome basin close to the town may be called, contained but a few boats at the time of Dr. Barth's arrival. Koromeh, the place already mentioned, and the islands of Day, between it and Kabara, have greater claims to be considered the port of Timbuctoo. On the 7th of September, 1853, Dr. Barth entered the city of Timbuctoo in grand style, escorted by the brother of the Sheikh-el-Bakay, the ruling chief, and by a splendid suite on horseback, on camel and on foot, welcomed and saluted by the festive multitudes of the inhabitants. The latter had been made to believe that the arriving stranger was a messenger from the Great Sultan of Stamboul! The real character of Dr. Barth was only known to the Sheikh himself, whose protection and goodwill the intrepid traveller had been fortunate enough to obtain, and who considered it ad visable thr t he should assume that character, on account of the very fanatical disposition of the great mass of the people. During Dr. Barth's subsequent stay, up to the sth of October, the Sheikh•el-Bal:ay and his brother had remained the faithful friends of the pretended "am bassador from Stamboul ;" but even under this charac ter Dr. Barth considered himself not entirely free from danger, owing to the complicated nature of the political powers which exercise a sovereign sway over Timbuctoo, the inhabitants being composed of various nationalities. There are—first, the Sonray, forming the great mass of the people ; then Arabs of various tribes—Fellatahs and Tuaricks, together with a small number of Bambara and Maisdingo. One faction was not at all favourably dis posed towards Dr. Barth, but wished his death ; so that it was necessary for him to observe great caution in his movements and in his intercourse with the peo ple. Fortunate, indeed, it was that the traveller had secured the sincere and unequivocal friendship of the Sheikh, under whose immediate protection lie lived at his residence, and who had promised to have him safely escorted on his return to Sakatu. Thus far the news will be gratifying to the friends of Dr. Barth. His state of health, however, was not in the same, degree satisfactory. The accomplishment of the journey from Lake Tsad to Timbuctoo, which in linear extent, taking into account the windings of the route, amounts to at least 2,000 miles, may well prove a trying task for the physical powers of any man, from its extent alone ; but when to this is added a preceding three years' travel and toil, the obstructions arising from the rainy season, with its swollen rivers, floods, and in undations, during which, partly at least, the journey to Timbuctoo was accomplished, together with the harass ing difficulties and dangers arising from the fanatical character of the inhabitants he had to pass through, it will scarcely excite surprise that Dr. Barth should have reached Timbuctoo in a rather exhausted condition. Such were the exertions of the journey that two out of six camels died on the road, and the remainder were rendered unfit for further use. And as to Tim buctoo, the sojourn at that place seems to have been anything but refreshing and strengthening in its effect on Dr. Barth, consisting, as it does, of a pent-up mass of closely-packed buildings. Attacks of fever, therefore, affected the health of the tra veller still more than the weakening effects of the jour ney, and it is evident from the letters that his strength was greatly impaired when he wrote them. Hopes, how ever, of soon rallying and regaining his strength never left Dr. Barth, and with a most remarkable perseverance and courage he was planning his next journey, the return to Sakatu, while despatching the letters now received. The city of Timbuctoo, which to reach had been the life's ambition of so many celebrated travellers, is placed by Dr. Barth in 18 deg. 3min. 30 sec. to 18 deg. 4 min. 5 sec. north lat., and 1 deg. 45 min. west long., Green wich. Its form is that of a triangle ;it is closely built of houses, mostly of clay and stone, many with handsome and tasteful fronts—the interior being similarly arranged to that of the houses in Agadez, visited by Dr. Barth in 1850. The population is estimated at 20,000 souls. Dr. Barth found the market of Timbuctoo, celebrated as the centre of the North African caravan trade, of less extent than that of Kano, but the merchandise of superior qua lity and of greater value. He has obtained a complete imana from the Sheikh for any English traders who may wish to visit Timbuctoo. The country in which that city is situate borders on the Zahara, and is indeed similar to that region, being of a dry and barren description, ex cept towards the Kowara, where it assumes a more fer tile appearance. September formed the height of the rainy season, and the rains, though not heavy, then oc cur every second or third day. Dr. Barth hoped to leave Timbuctoo " within a month" from the 29th of September last, to return to Sakatu, and it is most probable that he will travel down the Kowara as far as the town of Say. He was not _ _ yet aware either of the success under Dr. Vogel, de spatched from this country in February, 1853, nor of the steam-boat expedition now on the eve of departure for visiting the regions discovered by him in 1851 ; but it is sincerely hoped this cheering and encouraging news may have reached him soon after the despatch of his letters, and that, moreover, it may be his good for tune to fall in with either the one or the other. Further communications, both from Dr. Barth and from Dr. Vogel, may now be expected with every mail. The geographical importance of Dr. E'arth's journey to Tinibuetoo will nut require to be pointed out ; its ac complishment adds a fresh leaf to the laurels of that meritorious and distinguished traveller.---I have the honour, to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servaut, AUGUSTUS PETERMINN. 9, Charing-cross, March 25.

The third quarterly meeting of this flourishi ng soc i e t y was held at the offi ces 86, St. James's-street, P a ll- ma ll , last evening, for the purpose of transacting the ordinary business of the soci e ty. A mong th e mem b ers present we observed Lieut.-Colonel Dickson, one of the t rustees of the society, Captain John Bishop-Culpeper, H. E. Canney, Esq., W. Dickinson, Esq., John Gate, Esq., Joseph Gim. son, Esq., T. C. Grattan, Esq., Jerkin Jones, Esq., Vigers, Esq. On the motion of W. DICKINSON, Esq., the chair was taken by Lieut.-Colonel DICKSON, who, in opening the business of the evening, said the first thing to be done was to call upon the secretary to read the advertisement convening the meeting. This having been done, The CHAlRMAN—having heard the notice road, the next thing was to hear the secretary detail the position of the society since the last quarterly meeting. Mr. T. S. SMITH then, in setting forth the operations of this society, proceeded as follows :—He said the executive committee have much pleasure in laying before the meet ing their third quarterly report, and congratulating the meeting on the continued success which has attended the society from the date of its formation to the present time. The Free Trade Freehold Land Society has taken a prominent position amongst the leading societies of the day a position which it will he the aim of your committee ever to maintain, and to make, by its economical management and successful operations the most desirable of all investments to its shareholders. During the past quarter the attention of your committee has been directed to a careful revision of the rules, and they are prepared to lay before you at this meeting the result of their labours. The alterations they propose will be read at the next quarterly meeting, in conformity with the acts of Parliament, and at the earliest possible oppor tunity will be submitted to your decision, and, if adopted, will, your committee hope, contribute greatly to the pros perity of the society. The committee, in revising the prospectus, have resolved to advance to shareholders entitled to allotments, who may not be prepared to pay up the full cost thereof seven-eighths of the amount instead of three-fourths —a regulation which, while it secures the funds of the investing members, will be a great boon to the poorer shareholders. The number of shares issued and cash received during the quarter has been as follows, viz., shares issued to the 22d December, 1853,2,021 ; ditto during the quarter endint-, March 25, 968, together 2,98 9 ; cash the receivedguatertorDenediceumgar March 22 ,1825 i; 50818. 33 : 50 7 W : 14s ; ditto, during of 8,5861. 15s. Sev en t y - one valid shares have ina be e n n g drawntttotal in the ,ballot, and placed on the order of rights, to choose allotments from the third part of the estates set apart for that class of rights; eighty right s o f c h o i ce h ave been created by seniority ; and eighty seven shares have been completed by having the full amount subscribed thereon, s making a total of 238 rights choice, and the estates already purchased are su ffi c i en t t o allot 497. It may be necessary hero to remark th a t no person is compelled to take an allotment, but nay reserve his right, a n d exercise it on any other estate which may be purchased for the society, or may dispose of it to another. To facilitate transactions of this kind, a list of rights for sale is kept at the office, where members wishing to sell may register their rights without fee ; and others wishing to buy may inspe c t the list atany timeduringoffice hours. The committee have just secured a most eligible estate, situate on the best part of Surbiton-hill, near Kingston-upon-Thames, which will be ready for allotment shortly. The attention of your com mittee and surveyors has been unceasingly directed to secure such estates only as, from their position and capa bilities, would prove advantageous to the shareholders ; and, notwithstanding the present competition, and con sequent high price of land, they have been enabled to purchase estates at Anerley, Camberwell, and Surbiton, which they can confidently recommend as worthy the ac ceptance of the shareholders, and which they believe will prove highly remunerative, in testimony of which they refer to the fact that rights of choice in the estates have exchanged hands at considerable premiums. A very large number of estates have passed under consideration, most of which the committee have been obliged to reject, but they hope, in a short time, to announce to you th e pur chase of other estates as eligible as those already secured. In the present financial condition of the country, the committee have deemed it advisable to increase the rate of interest, on deposits and subscriptions of not less than a year, to five per cent. for the current year, commencing from the Ist of January last. To ex tend the operations of the society, deputations have at tended meetings in various parts of the metropolis, and explained its objects. They have been well received, and have generally secured good audiences and enrolled a con siderable number of shares. The committee have further to announce that they intend holding a ballot for right of choice during the first week in every month, and recom mend the shareholder s to take particular care that their subscriptions are duly paid up, to entitle them to the ad vantages thereof. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN—You have heard the statement just made by the secretary, and if any gentleman has any re mark to make, it will afford the committee great pleasure to hear him. The committee have had numerous estates offered to them, but they have for the present declined to purchase ; but he was happy to announce to them that they had one in addition to the Surbiton that would soon, ho hoped, be secured to the shareholders. It would not be judicious on his part to mention the exact locality, but this he might say, it was a highly attractive one. The adoption of the report having been moved by Mr. ASTBURY, and seconded by Mr. FOWLING, The CHAIRMAN put it to the meeting and declared it carried unanimously. The SECRETARY then read a list of amendments that were proposed by the committee should be made in the rules of the society. Mr. ELIOART suggested in addition to the alterations proposed by the committee, that alterations should he made also in the 11th and 40th. The alteration proposed having been submitted to the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said it was not competent for the present meeting to make the alterations that eveninn.. The am end meuts would be read at the next quarterly meeting, and a special meeting would afterwards be held on 1 the 4th of July, in compliance with the act of Parlia ment, at which the amendments would be confirmed, if sanctioned. Previous to either of the meetings, the amendments would be printed and forwarded to each of the shareholders. (Cheers.) A discussion here followed, in which Mr. ,TONES, Mr. T. C. GRATTAN, and Mr. SLEAP took part, with respect to the size of the allotments in this as compared with other so cieties where the cost was only 35/. Mr. VIGEns, the surveyor, said that the allotments of the society ou the Anerley estates, were, within a few roods, a quarter of au acre, a nd that of a superior quality, and although the size of the allotments on the estates of this society were not precisely a quarter of au acre, they produced a premium of upwards of 501. He had a pro position to make respecting the Anerley estate with re spect to the roads; it was originally intended that they should be forty feet wide, but this appearing unnecessarily large, it was proposed to reduce it to 3 i feet, and to give the 5 feet taken from the road to the shareholders-35 feet would still be a handsome roadway. Capt. CULPEPER and MT. GRATTAN both supported the alteration, which having been put to the meeting in the form of a resolution, was passed unanimously. Mr. VIGERS, in giving a brief statement w ith res p ec t t o a beautiful estate which it was proposes to purchase, said it was situate close to a first-class railway station, and was within 13 miles of London. Thanks were, on the motion of Mr. MEDWIN, given to the Chairman, and the proceedings terminated, having been of the most satisfactory description. THE SOUTHAMPTON DOCKS, MONDAY.— Such is the foul state of these docks, that the Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Magdalena was compelled this morning, be fore receiving her complement of cargo, to remove from her berth and take up a position in the river, where the remainder of her cargo will be conveyed to her in a steam-tug. It is a well-known fact, that large quantities of mud are being continually washed from the banks of the river ltchen, and carried into the docks by the tide ; but, nevertheless, means should be adopted to prevent such serious inconveniences as must naturally occur to ships of the Magdalena's class, if it is rendered dangerous for them to receive their entire cargoes with out shifting from their berths. SOUTHAMPTON, Monday, March 27.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, Iber'a, Captain F. Meehan, sailed at 2 p.m. today for Vigo, Oporto, Lis bon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, taking out, besides the usual mails, 39 passengers, specie—value, 17,0001. for Lis bon, and 2,0001. for Gibraltar. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon, with the heavy por tion of the East /Ilia, China, Australian, and Mediter ranean mails, just telegraphed, is expected to reach Southampton about the 2d or 3d proximo. The United States' mail steam-ship Hermann, Captain E. Higgins, will reach Southampton in the course of Tuesday (this day), and is to leave, with the usual semi-weekly Ame rican mails, for New *York on Wednesday. The Ame rican steamer Nashville, Captain Berry, with dates from New York to the 14th inst., is expected to arrive off Cowes, on her way to Havre, about the 28th or 29th instant.

About 200 gentlemen sat down to an elegant repast ; and, after a portion of the children had passed through the room, and two of them had recited two excellent odes, composed for the occasion, with remarkable clearness, and facility, a list of contributions in aid of the funds of the charity was read, reaching in all to the largo amount of 2,0001. ; and several toasts were proposed and acknowledged. In drinking " Prosperity to the In. stitution," the noble Chairman, as one of the Committee of Council on Education, took occasion, in that capacity, to bear witness to the able manner in which the educe. tional arrangements of the establishment are conducted, and the advanced state of progress of the pupils.
