Theodore Martin, Esq , in, New Palace Yard, Westminster. Messrs. G. and I'. Andsrsol, Inverness, Interim Secretaries. The present time seems to he peculiarly saitable for the establish ment of the proposed Lin, of Railway. The works upon the Inver ness and Nairn line nave been commenced, and the contractors un dertake that the line shall be open for traffic by the let of August next. On the other hand, the chain of Raelw.ty communication on the south is complete as tar as the town of I-Lundy, and measures are understood to be in progress for extending the Hue northward f. om Huntly. In these circumstances, it has been thought desirable to apply to Parliament, in the ensuing session for the incorporation of a Com pany for making a Railway from Nairn to Elgin, which shall com plete the communication between Inverness and Elgin. The com pany will thus be in a position to commence the necessary works next summer, and thereby, with the least possible delay, to place the fair and ancient province of Moray on such a footing, with regard to Railway communication, that the laying down of an ironway throughout its whole extent, from the Beauty to the Spey, and un interrupted connection with the Southern markets mast immediately follow, With this view, applications have been made to all the principal proprietors along the line, who have, without exception, declared themselves favourable to the enterprise, and ready to afford facilities for its construction. The plans hate been finishes], minute estimates of the cost have been made, and the line has been gone over and examined by contractors of the highest respectability; and the pro mpters have no doubt that the works will be undertaken by them for a sum which, together with the purchase of land, rolling stock, urellminary expenses, and all other charges necessary for the corn • pletion of the undertaking, will certainly not exceed '400,0001., or 8,0001. a mile, including bridges over the Nairn, Findhorn, and L ossie. For this sum the Company will be in possession of a single line of railway—double wherever this is necessary for Its efficient line. e wo tor rkg s t whom . h d oe niwi promoters they i bridges h e y have aa r e b e u nn i 1 att aandposition n n l a ., nu to es p at a u t t r oe c n, h a w s •pd that t f bh o e r e p e e e d n p o t a r u m b dc l to take payment of one-third of the cost of the works in stock. The Engineering Works—from the level nature of the country, and the light gravelly soil over which the line for the most part passes—are of a simple character, and are certain to be completed within the specified time. Besides the large local traffic arising from the line passing through the centre of the richly cultivated and populous county of Moray. this Railway, when connected with the Great North of Scotland Railway, now in progress of extension, will form part of the great through Communication from Inverness by Aberdeen to the south. From. the character of the country the line can never be exposed to railway competition. Through the Inverness and Nairn Railway—with the directors of which the promoters of this undertaking are in cordial co-operation —the line will be enabled to communicate with the Caledonian Canal at Inverness, and thereby to establish a connection with the large and rapidly-increasing traffic flowing along that great artery of corn atuaic.atie n to and from the counties of Banff, Moray, and Nairn. At its ether extremity, tie line will communicate with the Elgin and Lossieniouth Railway, and the pert of Lossiemouth. Besides these, the Railway will receive the traffic of the several ports of Nairn, Findhorn, and ilurghead. Careful observations of the traffic, made In 1845, with a view to a Railway from Inverness to Elgin, showing a local revenue amply sufficient to yield a liberal return upon a railway of a much more expensive nature. Since that period, however, the wealth and traffic of the district have been materially augmented, and are still rapidly increasing. 'faking the basis of the observations of 1645, the result will be as follows : ~._ . Ditimated amount of local revenue £21,000 0 0 Deflect 40 per cent. for working expense 8,400 0 0 £12,600 0 0 Of Interest on 50,0001, borrowed 2,000 0 0 -__- • ••X10,600 0 0 Leaving • • ... For division, on a called.up capital of 150,0001., or a dividend of 7 per cent. immediately after the opening of the line, with the cer tainty of a large eventual increase. The undertaking, therefore , pre sents these reculiar advent ages:— I. It will be completed and o p ened for working in two years from the passing of the act. 2. It will cost only 8,0001. a mile, for a single line, while the average cost of railways in Scotland, with a double line of rails, has been 30,0001. a mile. S. While the average return per mile per annum,in Scotland. has been 2,Ebe01., a sum of only 8501. per mile per annum, on this line, will yield a dividend of 7 per cent. A. The line, from its situation, secures in perpetuity the whole through railway traffic passing northward of Elgin from Aberdeen, and passing eastward of Nairn from the Western and Northern Highlands. S. The line will be worked in connection with the Inverness and Nairn Railway, under efficient Parliamentary powers, whereby the facilities of transit will be on the ono hand greatly increased, while on the other hand the working ex penses will be greatly economised. 1. - Lines of this character, constructed at a moderate cost, in the north of Scotland, have proved highly remunerative, as in stanced in the Lossiemouth and Deeside Railways, recently opened—both of which have returned dividends of 5 per cent. on the fret year's traffic. 7. The promoters are justified in stating that payment of one third of the cost of the works will be taken in stack, as a gu arantee for the due completion of the undertaking, and levidence of tke conviction of its soundness as a commer cial enterprise.

Vibart, Ayl mer Vivian, Gilbert J. Dewar, Richmond Houghton. It will be observed that the number of young men brought forward for the Engineers was fewer on this oc- Casio' than it usually i s , but Sir Charles Easley, the pub lic examiner, reported that the first six of those brought forward for the Artillery required only a little further training to it them for the Engineers, and recommended that they should be all owe d to present th e mselves again for eza7iination in March next, when it would be finally determined to what class they should be assigned.

After the parade the Chairman repaired to the sand modelling hall, where the following remarkably interest ing models were explained :—" A front ef Chasseloup de Laubat (scale inch to a foot) was explained by Cadet Macdonell ; three fronts •f Carnot's system for hilly ground (scale one-eigtlith inch to a foot) was explained by Cadet Lucas ; and a splendid model of the harbour and forts of Sebastopol (scale 1-16 inch to a foot, cover ing a space of about 2,200 square feet) was explained by Cadets E. Jones and Forbes. During the time thus oc cupied Cadets Carneigie, Cairnes, Delafosse, Shuldham, and Wallace were constructing a bridge head, and pro perly flanking it by batterie s on the reverse side of a river. After dinner the usual examination in this de partment took place in the hall, subsequently to which the prizes were distributed. The fortification drawings also met with great approbation. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—rwu guards of the Loudon and North Western Railway have dies this week at the Manchester Royal infirmary, one of tkem, Christopher Mann, having sustained fatal injuries on Monday last by falling off a luggage train. Thomas Dagnall, the other guard, had met with a similar accident on Wed nesday. Both died at the Infirmary on Wednesday, and inquests were held by Mr. E. Ilerford, coroner for Manchester, when the deaths were shown to have been ' purely accidental, APPOINTMENTS. Master John Kellock (1841), from the Coast Guard to the Melampus troop-ship, at Sheerness.. Assistant-Surgeon Richard Evans (1851), from the Blenheim, 60, screw steam-ship to the Hecla paddlewheel steam-sloop at -Portal:twitl3.- PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS IN THE ROYAL MARINES. First Lieutenant Hugh Stukely Buck, of the Artillery dompanies of the corps, to be Captain, and appointed to the Artillery Companies, in the vacancy caused by the promotion of Lieutenant• Colonel Holloway. Second Lieutenant Robert Abernethie Brutton, of the Plymouth Division, to be First Lieutenant, vice Buck, promoted and appointed to the Portsmoith Division. Captain Fermor Bonnycastle Gritton, to be attached to the Chatham Division, vice Parker, killed in action. ARRIVALS FROM THE BALTIC. The screw steam-ship Caesar, 91, Captain Robb, from the Baltic, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Sunday morn ing. The Princess Royal, 90, with the flag of Admiral Seymour, arrived in the afternoon, and a screw steam ship, supposed to be the St. Jean d'Acre, 100, was en tering that port in the evening. A first-rate man-of-war, supposed to be the Neptune, 120, from Portsmouth for Queenstown, was off Plymouth on Sunday morning. THE MAGDALENA. ♦n immense number of cases came down from London on Saturday afternoon and evening with about 2,000 pairs of boots for a regimdnt, which were instantly sent off to Spithead in the Echo and Comet as fast as the goods arrived. The fact is that waggons are so scarce, owing to the employment of the contractor, Mr. Cam- moll, for the huts, that only one waggon could be spared to convey the soldiers' boots from tke terminus to the dockyard, which caused great delay, and which ought to have been prevented by proper management. The Magdalena has got away with a fresh and splendid breeze from the northward, and which bids fair to take her clear of the English Channel. THE DISCOVERER OF THE NORTH-WEST PASSAGE. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have pre sented to Captain 111'Cletre A very handsome gold watch, with's suitable inscription, as a token of their entire ap probation of his conduct during his absence on the perilous enterprise which he has been so fortunate as to carry to a successful issue. Their lordships admit that Captain M'Clure is the discoverer of the North-west Passage, and we presume that the watch is only a slight instalment of the favours whick are due to him for having solved a problem which occupied the attention of the scientific world for so many years. MILITARY. The following changes of the stations of officers of the Royal Engineers took place during the last month : —Colonel G. C. Du Plat, K.H., recently recalled from Warsaw, is appointed brigadier•general of the forces in the Engineer department of the Ordnance service in the East ; Colonel M. A. Waters has returned home from the ISLaurittus, and has proceeded on leave ; Lieutenant- Colodbl Daniel Bolton, recently returned from New Zealand, after a short leave of absence since he came home, has been ordered to the Can• of Goad Hope ; Lieutenant-Colonel Henry P. Wolff has arrived from Quebec, Canada, and proceeded on leave ; Lieutenant- Colonel Henry Servants, returned from Malta is now at Manchester ; Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Aldrich, of the London district, has obtained leave of absence. Captain John William, recently professor of fortifica tion at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, has proceeded to Malta ; Captain Thomas Fen wick, from Littlebampton to Portsmouth ; Captain Hon. W. F. Keane, for some time past serving at Montreal, Canada, is ordered to proceed to join the forces in the Crimea. Captain Henry Grain has removed from Kingston, Canada, to Halifax, Nova Scotia ; Captain Horace W. Montague has left Corfu for the seat of war in the East ; Captain Frederick W. King left Woolwich in command of the 2d company of Royal Sapper. and Miners, and is now on passage in the Royal Albert, 121, screw steam-ship, for service before Sebastopol ; Captain E. C. Demolyns, recently stationed at Ports mouth, has proceeded to the Crimea. Lieutenant L. J. A. Armit has proceeded from Dublin to Malta; Lieu tenant B. A. Wilkinson, recently stationed at Toronto, Canada, is now employed •n surveying service ; Lieu tenant Sidney B. Farrell. recently stationed at South end, is now stationed at York ; Lieutenant George Ran ken, recently stationed at Quebec, is now at Edinburgh ; Lieutenant W. 0. Lsnno, recently stationed at Ceylon, has proceeded to the seat of war in the Crimea ; Lieute nant Edward R. James has proceeded from Alderney to Malta. iTHE MILITIA. The Northumberland Light Infantry Regiment o Militia are to he embodied on Tuesday, the 9th o January next, at Alnwick, and are to hold themselves in readiness to march to any part of the United King dom. The nominal strength of this regiment as enrolled is 1,277, but this number has bean reduced below 1,000 by enlistments into the regular forces and other causes. A vigorous enlistment will be necessary to make up its full complement. The Notts Militia are new undergoing a term of drill at Newark. The reginteut numbers 900 men, and since they have been in training their progress has been very satisfactory. The Leicestershire Militia are to assemble on Thurs day next. Recruiting in the town has been carried on during the week with good success. The regiment now numbers 933 men. The 2d Royal Lancashire (Liverpool) Militia, under the command of Colonel Sire Thomas Hesketb, are called out for permanent duty, to commence on the 18th instant, with training and exercise, at Ererton, Liverpool. The West York Rifle Regiment (late the Ist West York Militia), under the command of the Hon. E. G. Menckton, is under orders to assemble at Pontefract on the 19th inst. This regiment has contributed nearly :00 volunteers to the line, and it is yet about 900 strong. The North York Rifles are to assemble at Riohmond, Yorkshire, on the 12th inst, for permanent duty. The Royal Denbigh Rifle Militia has furnished 31 volunteers to the regular army, and has its complement of men enrolled—viz., 432. The Monmouthshire Light Infantry Regiment, now stationed at Newport, has given a number of volunteers to the Grenadier Guards, and last week 80 fine active young men left the corps as volunteers for the 23d Welsh Fusiliers and other regiments. The regiment is actively engaged in recruiting its strength up to the proper establishment. The 4th Royal West Middlesex Militia a furn t prishe esent s t a ti o ned at Hasler barracks, Gosport, has d more than its full quota of volunteers. At the date of the War-office order for volunteering the strength of the regiment was 528. The commanding officer'afforded every encouragement to the men to volunteer, and the result has been that 142 have been parted with, and 36 more have passed the doctor, and are waiting for the recruiting officer's sanction to join their new regiments. The West Kent Militia regiment will assemble at .aidstone in January. ALA/MING TIIIINDIRSTOM—`Pe learn from a corres pondent that, on Sabbath last, the towns of Newton stewart and Strabane, with their vicinities, were visited by a sudden storm of thnnder, lightning, and rain. The storm coinnienced about noon, but did not reach the cli max of its fury until about two o'clock. Previous to the thunder, at the time when the people were engaged in devotional exorcises in the churches, the atmosphere be camelarge print. About two o'clock a large ball of so dense that it was almost impossible to read even tolerably fire passed over the town of Strabane, with a terrific his• sing sound, and after proceeding about a mile and a half, the bolt, as it is termed, descended with a noise resem bling the discharge of a park of artillery, struck in its progress a stack of oats, the property of Mr. J. Crocke or tt, of Edymore, i n the nei g hbourhood of Lifford, and pigh of Clonleigh, and instantaneously set it on fire. Several persons beheld the strange phenomenon, but werend muc h a ppalled that they were afraid to approach render the assistance necessary for extingung the blaze and saving the oats from destruction. The conse- quence was that the entire stack was consnined ; and when the fire had ceased, large holes, which still remain, were found where it had formerly stood, the forked lightning having thus found a passage and buried itself • in the bowel!' of the earth.--Derry paper. THE PRICE OF WHEAT.-THE CORN TRADE. The greater the evils of the war, the more the world should condemn the author. Believing it to be quite unavoidable—rather postponed too long than begun too early on the part of England—we have no personal motives whatever for extenuating its miseries, and would throw the responsibility of causin g them, augmented rather than diminished, on the hoed of their guilty author. But when the Times—which has since taken a totally different view—and other journals, taught the working people that the war was doubling the price of the quarter') loaf, and thus endeavoured to excite the popular discontent, it became our duty to state the actual changes in the price of wheat, to show that no such rise had taken place, and that the price was actually lower after the war had begun, and prohibitions and blockades were in full vigour, than before. On this account we are challenged by Mr. George Dornbusch, who challenges Miss Martineau too, and all the world to disprove his assertion that " the declaration of war caused the price of corn to rise considerably," and who, relying as he well may, " on our sense of justice and fair play," sends us an extract ftom his report on Wednesday, April 5, 1854, stating his opinions at that period. We shall gratify his desire for such distinction as our notice may give him, so far as it will enable us to place the facts of the case fairly before the public. On the 27th of March the declaration of war was issued, " the imtnediate effect of which," says Mr. Dornbusch, " was to advance considerably the price of corn and almost all the articles imported from Russia—at the same time Consols and other funds have been depressed very low." The price of corn, we admit, did immediately rise in Mark lane, in Liverpool, aud some- other plages, wad so did the price of tallow, hemp, and trim . : Tiie ii i. porters and holders oithese articles naturally en deavoured to make the most they could of the con tingency, and speculated for higher prices. It is however notorious that the speculation was disap pointed. The " excitement which spread to every market " did not continue beyond the week, and the subsequent decline iu prices, in spite of much terrific writing in commercial circulars, curtailed the summer jaunts and the Christmas splendour of the unfortunate speculators for a rise. To say no thing more of the other articles, the rise in the price of wheat, which, Mr. Dornbusch affirms, took place in the first week of April, in different markets —from 4s. to 12s. per qr.—is shown from the Ga zette returns—a somewhat better authority, for the whole kingdom, and for the general price, than a Mark-lane report—to have been confined to a few markets, and to have been merely speculative. In the week ending Marsh 25 the weekly average was 78s. 4d. ; in the week ending April 1, it was 755., and in the week ending April 8, 735. 5d., a fall in the two weeks immediately following the declara tion of war of 4s. 11d. This was a continuation of the fall which, in face of the pending war, had —with a slight interruption in the two first weeks in March—continued from Jan. 28, when the average weekly price was 83s. 3d., to April 8, when it had fallen 9s. 10d. The price then took a slight start, and rose somewhat till June 3, when it reached the highest point, subsequent to the decla ration of war, 795. 11d.-Is. 7d. above the price immediately wior to the declaration, and 3s. 4d. lower than the highest price in January. In June measures to give effect to the declaration of war were in full activity. Blockades were established, prohibitions were threatened or issued, but the price of wheat from the beginning of June steadily declined till the weekly average reached, on Aug. 12th, 625. 3d.—a fall.of no less than 16s. ld. from the average price of March 25th, and of no less than 21s. from the highest price in January. It then got up for a week or two, but immediately after wards again fell rapidly, and in the week ending September 16th it was 525. 5d., or 9s. 10d. below the price in August. In the face of the war, therefore, from January 28—with a defective harvest throughout Europe, in 1853—the price of wheat fell in England, between January and September, 30s. 10d. Since then the price has risen rapidly, as we all unfortunately know, but the very latest report leaves it at 745. 4d., or Bs. 11d. below the price in January. These state ments can be verified by referring to the Gazette re turns, and they show that the price of wheat has been influenced by causes very differstut from the war. That the price of corn woulA flial if war were to cease is probable ; but into the region of conjec ture we shall not enter, contenting ourselves with having shown that subsequent, and very closely subsequent, to the declaration of war, the price of wheat fell very considerably. Similar facts to contdict Mr. Dornbusch are apparent as to the funds. Just before the declara tion of war Consols were at 91t ; subsequent to the declaration, when money dealers were still speculating on the probabilities of a loan, Con sols fell, and in May reached • 871, or 32 per cont. below the price in March, but since then they have continued very generally to rise, and have now reached 934, being higher than before the declaration. Without any reference toj those who seek to discredit the generous and patriotic feelings of the people, these facts are worthy of being brought distinctly under the public notice. As we gave currency on Friday to Mr. Sturges statements, we must add a word to explain or cor rect them. He says that 5,300,000 qrs. of wheat were shipped from Russia and 70,000 qrs. from the Danube, in 1853, and adds, " with a suspension of such enormous exports from countries that would in all probability have furnished as great a surplus in 1854 aid 1855 as they did in 1853, for the con sumption of other nations, it is surprising that any ' respectable writers should assert that our present prices of wheat are not affected by the war." We know no respectable writers who have made any such assertion ; but the facts concerning the Rus sian corn trade aro of great importance, whatever Mr. Sturge or any other writer rev say. The supplies from the Danube were impeded and stopped by the Russians entering the Principali ties, and they desired to have the power to stop them at all times. The importance of these sup plies is, however, overrated by Mr. Sturge. In 1853 we imported from Moldavia and Wallachia 227,143 quarters of wheat, which was upwards of 50,000 qrs. more than we ever, before im ported. According to the returns obtained by our own consuls, and published in the of ficial "Tables of Population, Uommerce, dr,c.," the greatest quantity of wheat ever exported from these two provinces up to 1851 was 571,678 qrs. Mr. Sturge's estimate of 700,000 qrs. ex ported in 1853 is probably, therefore, an exaggera tion. The highest total exports, too, of wheat from Russia in any year between 1842 and 1851, of which we have official returns, was in 1847, when it amounted to 5,744,197 qrs., of which only 850,586 qrs. came to England. At that period the exorbitant price inEngland-102s.—the suspension of our laws to procure a supply, and the extreme want of France and Italy, caused every granary in Russia to be clean swept. In no subsequent year, of which we have official returns, was an equal q uantity of wheat exported from Russia. In fact, every year since the exports have decreased, and were in 1851 only 2,484,150 . qrs. ; in 1850, 2,606,451 qrs. The greatest quantity of wheat ever imported from Russia into England was last year, 1,071,173, when, from an expectation of war, we made exertions to get it. From these facts we infer that Mr. Sturge's estimate of 5,300,000 qrs. of wheat shipped from Russia in 1853 is an exag geration ; if not, it is at least misleading to refer to that whole quantity as affecting our markets to its full extent, when only 1,071,173 qrs. came hither, and it is totally erroneous to imply or represent that the exportation was suspended in 1854. We have an official account of our own imports from Russia, in the nine months of 1853 and 1854, which were as follow 1853. 1854. qr, qrs. 69,101 23,938 From the Northern Ports ........ " Ports in the Black Sea, Sea of Azoff, &c... ............ 704,406 491 . 710 All this was imported in the early part of the year, and if the imports then ceased that was the consequence of our low prices. At 525., with an apprehension of the price falling lower, no corn was imported, the growth either of Russia or any oth from er co untry. The pric e did not pay to bring it Egypt or the United States, and would not pay to bring it from distant places. When wo obtained these supplies from Russia considerable quantities of corn were imported from the Black Sea snot France and Italy, though how much we s d o otherexactly know ; but, supposing Mr. Sturie' statements to be correct, the suspension 1 ) of can only have affected for 1854 abo t ut ie ha s l p f ea tl k ie s supplies from the Black Sea for all Western Europe. The apprehensions of war caused in 1853 as large exportations from Russia as could be spared, and we learn accordingly from the circular of Mr. Carr, of Rostock, dated November 10, 1854, who probably knows something of the Russia corntrade, that, " with the exception of St. Petersburg stocks of old corn are very light, most having been got off ~Z~ ~ .~ before the blockade was strictly enforced." In the first six months of 1854 our imports of wheat ex ceeded the imports in 1853 by 530,000 qrs., and it was the very abundance of our supplies, obtained after the war was declared, and while it was pend ing at the close of the last year, which led to the decline of price in the summer. That the war, being a totally new circumstance for the existing generation of 'merchants, may have confused their judgment—thallein the long run it will impede trade of all kinds, including the supply of food,•im peding manufacturing industry, cannot be gainsaid —hut that it has hitherto raised the price of corn in England is not proved. The expectation that war might ensue led to excessive importations of corn ; it has led, as Mr. Sturge notices, to a de crease of consumption, and it cannot at the same time have led to an increase of pri ce . A wordy war on this important subject is much to be depre ' cated, and merchants go more out a their way when they engage in it than journalists—theirduty being to state facts, as we have endeavoured to do, whatever opinion they may countenance or con tradict. From other countries, now that our price has risen to pay for importation, we are getting corn, and it may be doubted whether the great re duction in the price at Azoff, mentioned by Mr. Sturge—the consequence of the accumulation of stock there from the Czar's prohibitions—will not more than cover the cost of procuring it. Prussia wants corn nearly as much as England, if she have not equal means to buy it, and her merchants•and other merchants will, in spite of prohibitions, make the Russian surplus available for other na tions. The world is far less dependent on the Czar for food than Mr. Sturge would have us be lieve.—Daily News. THE HENRI IT. The following letter has been received from the Abbe Bertrand, Chaplain of the Henri IV., on the occasion of the wreck of that vessel : " Orr Ms COAST OF EIIPATORIA, Nov. 18.—Our magnificent ship was wrecked on the 14th at 6 o'clock in the evening. The tempest commenced at 7 in the morning, and, in spite of all our care, our activity, an d our energy, we had to yield to its violence. Since our ar. rival in the bay of Eupatoria we had two anchors thrown out, because the approach of winter was felt, and it was necessary to guard against the bad weather. When the' hurricane came on the captain had out a third anchor and • a fourth. Walbought,tre should be able to resist. Alas; no I The Henri IV. w aa.'distiiill - trreirartrthe-iat•-.1_,._..., several other vessels that were hearly broken to pieces on the coast. What a terrible spectacle I The sea was furious, and bellowed so as to prevent us from heariag each other, sad the ship groaned beneath the blows she received from it. The whole of the furniture was flung from one part to the other with the rapidity of a rail road. I had remained in the captain's cabin after break fait, and while he was on the quarter-deck in order to direct the movements of the/vessel every article in the room was flung from one side to another, and for my own part I was near losing my senses. We resisted for a good while ; though two of our chains had broken, we held en with two, and the wind began to calm down. But what a sad thing it was to see the beach, on which a dozen merchant vessels had been just dashed to pieces. Alas ! such also was the fate reserved for us. About half-past five o'clock the captain and I were about to sit down to dinner when all of a sudden we felt a shock, and a man rushed in and cried out, ' Captain, the two last chains have just been broken.' The two chains broken I' the captain said ' • impos sible I' He went up on deck again, which he had only left five minutes before. It was but true—the ship was en her beam ends. There was no further hope ; the sea and the wind were too violent for us to hope to get out to sea. We had only to resign ourselves to our fate. All that was left for us was to he thrown on that part of the coast where the bottom was sandy. You cannot hate an idea of the anguish we all felt, expecting every moment the first shock when the ship touched the ground. 'We did feel the first shock, the second, the third, and yet the good ship held. out. We were aground, but we knew not at what dis tance from the shore, as we were in darkness. The weather continued awful. At.last the day dawned, and we found ourselves at 200 metres from the shore, and our ship had not a single drop of water in her hold. At some yards from us a Turkish vessel had been wrecked at 11 o'clock that night, three hours after us. She drove - on a bank, which threw her on her aide, and the whole of the crew we saw clinging to the masts and shrouds, nor. being able to remain on the deck, which was completely under water. At last, after a night passed in indescri bable anguish, fearing each moment that the ship was opening asunder, the day dawned, and we found our selves so near land that, in the event of any great acci dent occurring, it would not be difficult to save ourselves. Fortunately our ship is new, five years having scarcely elapsed since she was launched. We shall all be saved, as well as the stores. We are, however, on the enemy's coast, and the Cossacks, who crowded down to us in the morning, have been received with musketry. Ido not think they will return in haste. Oh ! that Sebas topol were once taken ! Perhaps we are to remain here until the ship is got off, and she is so noble and so beau tiful a vessel that it would be a pity to abandon her. For the present, however, we have nothing to fear." NORTHERN BAIL TWA Y COMPANIES. It is with great plea/Cure we announce that the Inver ness and Elgin Junction and Great North of Scotland Railway Companies have adjusted their differences, and agreed to an amicable apportionment of the ground be tween Nairn and Huntly. The Great North retire alto. uether from the ground west of the Spey, and the Inverness and Elgin Junction become bound to push their line as far as that river. Owing to the lateness of the time when this arrangement has been come to, there will be a little apparent complication of matters in bringing the two bills before Parliament ; but the diffi culty is purely technical, and the good understanding that exists between the companies, backed by the earnest wish of the whole country to have railway communica tion immediately established between North and South, will, we trust, enable both companies to complete the preliminary arrangements, and fulfil the usual conditions' of railway enterprise, in time to let operations be com menced next year. There is, however, a good deal to do, and very little time between this day and the 3lst of December ; and the public have a grave and pressing duty to perform in enabling the committee to carry through their measures. They must either reject the scheme, or back it with promptness and energy. The • arrangements of the Provisional Committee till the pre sent crisis have been made with great judgment, and carried through with energy and decision ; they have now come to that point at which th e pubic may be said to take the matter out of their hands, and are forced to pronounce decidedly upon the question. The capital must be subscribed, and a subscription contract, to the extent of three-fourths of the required sum, must be lodged with the clerks of Parliament before the 31st of this month.—lnverneas Courier.

A DRAY-HORSE IN A BEER CELLAR.—Last Satur day afternoon a fine dray-horse fell into the beer cellar of the Red Lion public-house, Rosoman-street, Clerken well. The animal was hauling some casks up, surd when dragging one of them he backed too far and slipped into. the cellar. Being a heavy horse, a difficulty arose about getting him up again, and in order to effect this it iras found necessary to procure workmen who, with picks and spades, cut away the footpath of the roadway, so as to make an incline sufficient for the a nimal to walk up. After about two hours' detention in this novel stable, he was liberated without haying sustaiatd Pay goo injury. This t)ay is published, in 2 vols.
