Collins left this port, between 10 and 11 o'clock, with a large number of passengers on board, bound front the Sault St. Marie to Cleveland. About midnight, when a little below Malden, near the light house at the mouth of the river, the vessel was die covered to be on fire, and before she could be got ashore was completely enveloped in flames. The greatest con sternation prevailed among the passengers, most of whom, aroused from their sleep by the fearful alarm, ran wildly about the decks or plunged at once. into the water. Twenty-three persons perished by fire or drown ing. The names (f those missing. as far as can be mcer tiiined, are as follows :—Mr. Dibble, of New York ; Samuel Powell, Lawrence Whalon, Thomas Cook, the Pittsburg Railroad agent, all of Cleveland ; Mrs. M'Neilly, Mrs. Walrons and child,'of Ashtabula. • The body of the child has been recovered. Fifteen of the crew are missing. Among the 'passengers from the East saved are 13. F. Dubois, Philadelphia, and Mr. Patterson, .of Westfield, Chautauque county. A large number of passengers from the Sault left .the vessel at Detroit. The origin of the fire has not been ascertained. The Collins took fire on the boiler deck, and so rapid was the spread of the flames that the passengers and crew were unable to save anything except the clothes ' they had on. Immediately after the fire was discovered the boat was headed for the shore, but was unable to reach shallow water before the flames had complete possession of her. The afterpart of the boat then swung around into the river, and, near:y all on board being driven to that part of the boat, were compelled to jump into the water. The current here runs out very strongly into the lake, and a very few would have been saved had not Capt. Langley, of the propeller Fintry, fortunately seen the light, and hastened to the rescue. All the boats of the propeller were manned and sent off, and nearly every soul saved was through their instrumentality. The few that reached the shore were in a completely exhausted condition. Some wretch robbed one of the sufferers of 80 dollars. The Collins came cut as a new steamer last October. She cost 105,000 dole., and she was insured for 13,000 dole. only in the following companies the Mercantile Mutnal New York, 5,000 dole. ; in the Atlas ditto, 5,000 dole. ' • and 3,000 dole. in the North-Western. She was owned by Captain E. B. Ward." INCENDIABISM.—On Saturday night last smoke was seen issuing from one of the cellar-windows of the ware house of Messrs.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1854. 111 - AV AL AND MILITARY INTELLIGOCA The Orion, 90, screw, bonding in Chatham Dockyard, is ordered to be launched on the 7th of next month. This ship, since 'she Was first laid down has been lengthened fore and aft, and she was lengthened in mid ships by about 20 feet, for which purpose she was cut asunder. _ _ Preparations are being made at Sheerness for the launch of the new steam corvette Pylades, to carry 20 guns. The Cuckoo is under repairs in the fitting basin at Sheer ness. It is fully expected that her officers and crow will be turned over to another vessel. • The Porcupine is being refitted for immediate and par ticular service. She will be ready in a few days. The Adder paddle-wheel steam-vessel, having had her requir , d repairs completed, left Woolwich on Monday for Chathgin; to serve as a tender at that dockyard. The 'Rhadarnanthus paddle-wheel steam store-vessel, Master-Commander John Belam, left Woolwich on Sun day: witli provisions and stores for the fleet in the Baltic. 01... RING THE ENTRANCV TO THE HARBOUR OF SETABTOPOL. (From t 1 c Moniteur dela Flotte.) • No sooner have our troops gained a footing on the soil of the Crimea than the English ,and French Govern ments labour with indefatigable activity to send to their expeditionary corps all the reinfereements and means required for attacking vigorously the enemy, whether behind his fortifications or in the open field. From 15,000 to 20,000 . cavalry•have been already sent from Varna and Bourgas on board our vessels ; strong re setves of infantry and artillery accompanied them. Others will follow, and our imperial navy, which really seems to have the gift of übiquity, after -making incredible efforts ever since the commencement of the war, till contrives, at a moment all its resource 'night be thought - to be actively employed, to collect in the ports ot the, Mediterranean numerous sailing vessels and steamers, which will be einployed.as transports to con vey fresh .troops from France and Algeria. Another important question has of late been taken into serious consideration at. Paris and London. The object, is to find out what measures are•to be taken for opening the passage in the,harbour of Sebastopol, which is known to have been blocked trp -by the Russians, who have sunk there. five • ships ot the line and two •frigates. • Ile channel or passage is everywhere from 40 to 50 feet deep. Now, it is admitted that a ship of the line draws generally, on an average, about 25 feet, and has about the same height above water. The ships, then, that have been sunk must be close to the surface, and if no open space exists between them so as 'to permit the free ingress °fa sliip, - hlheOnn:s absolutely necessary to attack this submarine rampart, clear the way, and re store the entrance of the harbour 'to its former condi tion. The solid mass represented by the five liners and two frigates now under water weighs not less than 21,700 tons. It is easy to comprehend that no "camels" are capable of raising so enormous a weight. In cases of this description we generally have recourse to the mine. Without citing here the beautiful opera tions of this kind that have been carried out of late, more than once at Cherbourg, Brest, Lorient, and Toulon, &c., which are familiar to all, we think we shall interest our readers by extracting from contemporary publica tions a few details of similar operations carried on with great success, on the other side of the channel, by Colonel Pasley about ten years ago. • • This distinguished engineer succeeded in blowing up a brig and a schooner, that obstructed the entrance to the port of Gravesend in the Thames, and the Royal George, which went down at Spithead in 1789. Colonel Pasley used charges varying from 20 to 118, from 1,000 to 1,100 kilogrammes. The charges of 20 kilogs. were put into tin cases ; those of 118 were placed in tubes of wrought iron, that ended in cones. At the ends two holes were drilled ; oite , for pouring in the powder, and the other for receiving ;another tube that contained a train charge. The tubei Were strongly bound with iron hoops. As for the great charges of 1,000 or 1,100 kilogs., they were enclosed sometimes in a leaden pipe within another wooden one, and sometimes in a wooden cylinder, properly secured, then encased in lead, soldered down, and pro4e2ted over all by a cradle of splinters with coils of old rope lashed as siezing round it. _ The tubes containing the different charges are now in a fit state, not only to resist the pressure of the water, but to sink rapidly to the bottom, on account of their weight. Over the cylindrical body of the cases a round hole is made for admitting a train-tube filled with a charge of about 85 grammes, to which fire is conveyed either by special fusees or mining sausages, or, lastly, by the electric current. At the time when Colonel Pasley was engaged, the use of the galvanic battery was less general, for the practical application, indeed, of all the physical and chemical sciences was less at tended to in those days than it now is. However, with a Daniell's battery, having a constant current, composed of ten tubes, 0.5;3 in height and 0.09 in dia meter, with copper conducting wires of 5 millimetres in diameter, Colonel Pasley succeeded in producing, at a distance of 152 metres, the instantaneous igni tion of a platina wire that set a charge of powder on fire. This was often dose under very disadvantageous conditions, since he operated frequently in the open air when it rained and snowed. Both rain and snow are considered to be very unfavourable for the development of electricity. As for the mode of taking down the charges of powder to the bottom of the sea, and there fitting them in the right place, that is the diver's business. Now, since in the Sebastopol channel the sea is generally calm, the divela will not find much difficulty in lodging the charges where they can be most elfect,ive. After that, so soon as the train is fired by one of the contrivances explained above, the explosion, even supposing it does not de molish at the first .blast this peculiar kind of stockade, will at all events make a breach, so as to facilitate further operations. Lastly, tke sea will enter and clear away any deposit of silt or rubbi'h, so that the divers will have mere room for exploring the bottom of the sea, in order to save the guns and other materials worth the salvage. In France and England there are many varieties of the scaphander ' of the diving bell, and many sorts of apparatus used by divers. In fine, judging from what has already been done on both sides of the channel, taking into account also the great progress made by science during the last few years, we may venture to hope that clearing the passage of Sebastopol will not prove too difficult a task for , the naval forces and the engineers of the Allied. Powers. Waiting fOr this enterprise to be commenced, the siege of the great fortress itself in the Crimea is progressing in a satisfactory manner: . . by rival creeds one against •the other. C!ergymen of different denominations are sent out in the relative pro portion of the troops belonging to their faith, but they go at the expinie , of the Government, to whose autho rity they are. amenable, .and they are empowered to choose persons to aid them in their labours as Scripture readers or otherwise. An additional number of clergy are about to proceed to Turkey, but, like their predecessors, under military authority, and under .strict orders as to their conduct ; and no oce can be admitted on other terms. It is most necessary, for the sake of harmony and good order, that this system should be strictly maintained. • I have endeavoured, I fear at some length, to explain what has been done and what is doing, and the reasons for the coulee adopted. It only. remains for me to ex , press my thanks for the interest you have taken in the I t neble and brave men whose sufferings it is ourduty and .our endeavour to assuage, and my sense of the ad mirable spirit which has dictated the many offers of personal service and pecuniary liberality which have been made through yourself and others.—Believe me faith fully yours, ..

[PRICE SD. children in it at present. lie Witi positive that if that fact were placed before the public tl , e funds would come in to them, and be was positive that the institution would go to ruin if they did not act with the caorgy that was ne,n,sarv. At the suggestion of Lord Kinnaird the amendment of Mr. Macrae was withdrawn, and the resolution pro. po:ed by Dr. Cumming was unanimously adopted. The Ilarl of liINNAIRD then proposed that that meet inf., should authorise the monthly court of directors to admit to the benefits of the institution the children of Sc )teb soldiers, sailors, and marines, at 75/. per head, iu lieu of 1051., the usual charge. Mr. JOHN MASSON seconded the resolution. After a short discussion, the bum of 50/. was substi tuted for 751. in the resolution, and in that amended shape it was put from the chair and adopted. A resolution was then passed that an appeal for sub scriptions should be published in the London papers, and in the principal papers in Scotland, as suggested by DP. Cumming. The Chairman desired that his name should be put down far 1001., and a vote of thanks having been passed to him for his conduct in the chair, the meeting sepa rated. SPEED OF THE PELTED,. The Feller gun-boat, having had her compasses adjusted at Greenhithe, left that station iu charge of Mr. Mugford, roaster of the Fisgard flag-ship at Woolwich, on Saturday, and arrived at Dover at 8 p.m., in 7 hours and 35 minutes. Off Deal the common log was hove, and by it she was going exactly nine knots per hour, the engiues making 222 revo-. lutions per minute, with 521bs. pressure. Head wind forbe of three. The performance was considered highly satis factory by those on board. Mr. Dinnen, inspector of machinery, afloat; and Mr. Hartroe, of the firm of John Penn and Son, and Mr. Stewart, Government pilot, went round in her. The engines performed very well during the passage. She entered Dover harbour to take on board a supply of coals, and left again on Monday to er!eed upon an experimental cruise in the Channel s , and will arrive at Portsmouth, for experimental practice with her Lancaster oval guns, on Wednesday. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The following notice has been given from the Admi ralty " The officers of the Investigator who were previously . promoted have had their commissions dated back to Octo ber 26, 1850, with the exception of Captain M'Clure, who had not then served his time, and whose seniority has been consequently dated December 18, 1850." The number of officess of the Investigator discovery-sbip who were previously promoted during their long absence in the Arctic regions, amounts to six : Captain Robert J. Le U. M'Clure, promoted from the rank of commander on October 7, 1853, whose commission has been dated back to December 18, 1850, or exactly one year after he was appointed to command the Investigator. Commander William H. Haswell, promoted from the rank of Lieutenant on May 5, 1854, and whose commission has been dated back to October 26, 1859. Lieutenant Henry H. Sainsbury, who was promoted from . the rank Of Mate on December 10, 1832, and whose com mission is now dated back to October-26, 1850. Surgeon Henry Piers, promoted from the rank of As sistant-Surgeon on March 3, 185 4 , and whose commission has been dated back to October 26, 1850. Master Stephen Court, Second Master of January 20, 1848, who was promoted to be Acting Master, and is now confirmed in that rank, and his commission dated October 26, 1850. Paymaster Joseph C. Paine, promoted from clerk in charge on October 2,1850. Yesterday (Monday), a court-martial assembled at Sheer ness, on board the flag-ship Waterloo, to try Mr. Henry Osborne, boatswain of the secend class, belonging to the Phcenix, doing duty as ice-master en board the Talbot. Tho charge against the prisoner was for having, on the 13th of October last, been drunk and unfit far duty. The Court were of opinion the charge had been proved, and that the said Henry Osborne was on the 13th day of October drunk and unfit for duty; but, in consideration of his services of two voyages to the Arctic Sea, and the high testimonials :of his former good conduct produced to the Court from officers under wom he had served, they sen tenzed him to be severely reprimanded, and to be disqua lified from progressive promotion for the term of two years from the present time. The officers and crew of the North Star. were paid off here yesterday. THE FLOATING BATTERIES. The armament now building to operate against the Rue • sians in the Baltic at the opening of the spring campaign in lades 35 vessels; namely, five floating batteries, the decks covered with iron plates, eight inches thick, and their exterior with 100 plates, four inches thick, rendering them perfectly ball and bomb proof (these vessels will be armed with six of the long-range guns on the Lancaster principle) ; 10 bomb-vessels, to bo armed with from two to three mortars of the most powerful description ; and 20 gun-boats, drawing about four feet of water, the latter -being specially intended for service in the River Neva. WEATHER IN THE BALTIC. By a letter received from Elsinore, dated the 16th instant, the screw steam-transport ilolyrood, Commander P. C. Lovett, arrived there on the previous day (the 15th), at 4 p.m., having had very thick weather in the Categat. She reported having passed on the 14th two French line of.battle ships and three steamers 20 miles south-cast of the Scasv. The Holyrood was coaling on the 16th at Elsinore, and left the same afternoon for Kiel Bay, and from thence she would proceed to deliver her despatches to the Comman der-in-chief, Sir Charles Napier. She reported at Elsinore that there had been nothing but fogs day after day, which made the navigating the sea difficult and very hazardous without the greatest precaution being used, to avoid col lisions or getting on shore, which she effected on her pas sage out. It is from this cause only that a longer period of time has been taken in her making her passage .out on this occasion compared with her other passages made out and home, all of which have averaged considerably less time. The general order for making the ships at Sheerness all snug for the winter quarter was promulgated yesterday, and the Waterloo set the example by sending down top gallantmasts, striking top-masts, topsails, lower yards, &c. Much sympathy has been expressed here (Portsmouth) yesterday at the supposed melancholy end of the gallant Franklin and his crew. It appears that Sir James Ross, in 1849, was within a few miles of the party. Clerk Edward W. Gordon (1851) has been appointed to the St. Vincent, 102, guardship of ordinary, at Ports mouth. ROYAL MARINES. Royal Marine-office, Oct. 21, 1874. Tho following promotions, &c., have taken place in the Royal Marine Corps : Captain and Brevet-Major John Fraser, of the Artillery companies,.to bo lieutenant-colonel, and appointed to the Woolwich division, vice Jolliffa, to retired full pay. First-Lieutenant Fernier Bonnycastlo Gritton, of the Chatham division (serving in her Majesty's ship Waterloo, 120, at Sheerness) to be captain, and appointed to the Ports mouth division, vice Fraser. Second-Lieutenant Jelinger Henry Symons, of the Ply mouth division, to be First-Lieutenant, and appointed to the Chatham division, vice Gritton. Lieutenant-Colonel Jolliffe to retired full pay, with a step of rank, under her Majesty's Order in Council, dated Sept. 13, 1854. MILITARY.

ENR , LLED PENSIONERS, OMAGU.—This brave veteran force, under the command of Major George Waller Meehan, staff officer of pensioners in the Omagh district, has been going through its periodic review and practice during the past week. The appearance of the men was soldierlike and efficient, and we understand that the ball practice was excellent, as manifested in the riddled state of successive targets. Major Meehan is highly popular amongst the men under his command .— Tyrone Constitution. KILICENNY.—The local corps of pensioners • have been called out for target practice. THE MILITIA. The Leicester Militia are about to be embodied, and yesterday a large quantity of stores, &c., were forwarded from the Tower to Leicester. The let Somerset Militia, Colonel Hinton commandant, will receive their colours at Plymouth on Tuesday, the 31st inst. They will be presented to the regiment by the Coun tess Paulet. The 2d Somerset Militia, Colonel Pinney, are expected to embark this day at Bristol, for Cork, to do garrison du' y. The Marquis of Clanricarde has arrived at Galway, and is actively engaged in organising the militia for that county. .'ROME ELECTION. • MONDAY.—The town has been in a state of great ex citement during the day, which has exhibited itself in innumerable broken windows, and not a few broken heads.

The following letter has been received by a gen• tleman in one of the midland counties : -- War-office, Oct. 21, 1854. Dear Sir,—l beg to acknowledge tho receipt of your letter, stating that you have received several communi cations from ladi e s o ff er i ng t h e i r serv i ce s to go out in the capacity of nurs es , or f or t h e purpose o f offering ministration, in th e B r i t i s h G enera l H o spital at Scutari, and asking what course t o take regar di n g them. spiritual The Government have felt that it would be impossible to throw open a military hospital, or indeed any hospi tal, to the indiscriminate nursing of any persons whose benevolence or wish for employment might induce them to offer themselves, vt ithout• evidence of their experience or fitness to perform the arduous duties they undertake, The duties of an hospital nurse, if they are to be pro-- perly performed, require great skill as well as strength and courage, and the maj or it y o f t h em are from gun-shot wounds. espeoially whe re th e cases are surgical cases, Persons who have no experience or skill in such matters would be of no use whatever and in moments of great pressure, such as must, of necessity, at intervals occur in a military hospital, any person who is not of use is animpediment. Many ladies w hose generous enthusiasm prompts t hem to offer their services as nurses are little aware of the hardships they would have to encounter, and the horrors they would have to witness, which would try the firmest nerves. Wer e a ll accepted who offer, I f ea r we should have not only many in e ff ic i en t nurse s, but many hysteri cal patients, th emse l ves requiring treatmen t i n stead of assisting others. o al r .A d earysB obenreecae(Lyartyo to oi7tliide subordination Nor, even if capable in other respects, would they hospital. o e f be a di m en a c i e tar t y o rditiLPtilocint In self-defence, the surgeons before long, might find themselves compelled to exclude ail the female nurses, good and bad, with a view to rid themselves of the troublesom e and inefficient. The Government have come to the conclusion that the best mode of obviating these dangers and inconveniences would be to appoint some one' person on whose energy, experience, and discretion they can rely, who would be the one authority to select, to superintend, and direct, in the British General Hospitals in Turkey, a staff of female nurses, herself acting under the immediate orders of the medical authorities. Miss Nightingale, who has, I believe, greater practi cal experience of hospital administration and treatment than any other lady in this country, has, with a self devotion for which I have no worus to express my gra titude, undertaken the noble but arduous work. She will act in the strictest subordination to the chief medical officer of the hospital ; and the nurses who ac company, or who follow her, will in the same manner be placed completely under hei authority, nor will any one be admitted as an hospital nurse except she have a certifi cate signed by the Director-General of the Army Medi cal Department upon Miss Nightingale's recommenda tion, or that of some person deputed by her. I trust that all confusion will be avoided by this arrangement. Miss Nightingale leaves England this evening, 34 nurses accompanying her to Scutari. No additional nurses will be sent out to her until she shall have written heMe from Scutari, and reported how far her labours have been successful, and what number and description of persons, if any, she requires in addi tion. Should more be required, a register of their names will be kept, and applications may be made to Miss Stanley, No. 6, Grosvenor-crescent, Belgrave-square ; or the Hon. Mrs. Herbert, 49, Belgrave-square ; or to St. John's Hospital, Queen's-tquare, Westminster. It is most important that those who wish to devote themselves to the work should fit themselves by previous training, and acquire by practice in an hospital a know ledge of the duties they undertake, and confidence in their own power to perform them: This they can do by ap plication to Mrs. Gipps, St. John's Hospital, Queen's squ:lre, Westminster. But, in the meanwhile, no one can be sent out until we hear from Miss Nightingale that they are required ; nor would any one going , out there be a d m i tte d to t h e hospital unless provide d :i with the certificate I have already described. All I have said as to the necessity of order'and autho rity as regards the attendance on the sick and wounded, so far as their physical wants are- concerned, applies, with still more force to the provision for their spiritual wants. It would be impossible to run any risk of the military hospitals being made the arena of hostile efforts directed THE SICK AND WOUNDED. letter dated Scutari, October 10, published in a Dublin paper (Saunders's), giVes the following particu lars respecting Viscount Chewton, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, who, as already stated, died of his wounds on the Bth inst. at . the General Hospital, Scutari. His Lordship had been brought down after the battle of the Aluia, and survived only 19 days. His case was hope less from the beginning, as his body was covered with wounds of a most serious nature, and two of which penetrated the bowels. He was attended by the Inspeo tor-General of Hospitals, Dr. Ball, also Staff-surgeon Menzies and Assistant-Surgeon Maaifold, who were un ceasing in their attendance, but every effort to save his life was in vain.

A meeting of members of the Caledonian Society was held yesterday, in their house in Crane court, for the pur pose of taking measures to admit to the' benefits of the charity the orphan children of soldiers, sailors, and ma rines killed er disabled in the war. The chair was filled by Sir J. H. Maxwell. Several mernbArs were in atten dance, including tho Earl of Kinnaird and the Rev. Dr. Cumming. The CuAnticur intimated that they had met to pro .. vide, if they could, for the admission into their institu tion of the orphans of their gallant countrymen who had fallen in the war, and he was sure that every etas con- netted with the Caledonian Society was desirous to carry out that object. He was sure that they were all desir ous to do the best they could foe the relief of the widows and orphans of the gallant men to whom he had alluded. The Rev. Dr. CUMMING said that while they should be thankful for the great victory that had been gained, they must grieve that it had been obtained by a sad and inevitable sacrifice of life. That institution had been founded almost exclusively for the children of Scottish soldiers, sailors, and marines wounded or killed in her Majesty's service ; and failing to have applications on the part of such children, it had become the custom to admit the children of civilians in necessitous circum stances. A crisis had now come in the country, and they must more fully than ever revert to the original constitution of the charity, and as much as saissible re strict its operations to those who were now the most pressing claimants, the orphans of soldiers, sailors, and marines killed in the war. If they did not at the pre sent moment take a bold, a large, and a liberal course they must go down. The institution must show that it was not effete and obsolete, but was ready to respond to the appeal which had come to them from the heights of Alma. (Hear, hear.) In looking over the list of killed and wounded he saw there was almost a preponderance of Scotch names. A great many of their countrymen had fallen, and he feared a great many more would fall before the great object of their mission should be achieved. Ile thought they should seine before the public on this occasion with a bold and liberal pro posal, and he begged to submit the following resolution for the adoption, of the meeting That this court, while expressing its special thankfulness and joy at the glorious victory gained on the '2oth of Sep tember, at Alma, in the Crimea, and not a little at the distinguished part taken by their Scotch countrymen in that severe struggle, yet cannot but deeply deplore the great sacrifice of the lives of gallant men, and the suffer ings thereby entailed-on their wives and children ; that, in order to show at least the anxious desire of this court to do what it could to express their sense of obligation and gratitude to the wounded and faller), it is hereby re solved to empower the monthly committee of directors is admit at once, and without touching the claims of pre sent applicants, 25 children, boys and girls, being orphans of Scottish soldiers, sailors, and marines, either wounded, disabled, or killed in her Majesty's service in the East." On that resolution being adopted, he would also propose that an advertisement should be published in the Lon don papers, and in the principal newspapers in Scotland, calling for subscriptions to aid them in carrying out their objects. But in case they did not get a single sixpence by that advertisement, their present staff was sufficient for the reception of nearly 150 additional children. For every child they admitted the maximum cast would be 151., and 25 children at 151. each, would cost 3751. in a year, and in seven years the cost for them would be '2,625/. They had 13,0001. in the funds, which he had always protested against intruding upon ; but when a great national duty, generated by a crisis like the present, was imposed upon them, he thought it would be nobler to take that sum of 2,62.51. out of the capital than to spread it over a number of years. That would reduce their capital to about 11,0001. ; but if the worst happened the institution would not be ruined. If there was an appeal made to the Scotch for their aid, and though it might be difficult to get thorn to begin, yet when they did begin they would beat out the Eng lish. In addition to the 25 children which it was thus proposed to admit, it was submitted that they should be ready to receive 25 more at 751. per head. The existing demand for seven years was one hundred guineas, and it was proposed to take off 251., .and receive them at 75/. ; and if it was proposed to go down as low as 60/., he (Dr. Cumming) did not know but that he should back the proposition. The answer of some persons to such a proposal was, that they had no claimants yet ; but they would have claimants, and they should have the tents waiting fee the soldiers, instead of the soldiers waiting for the tents,, Mr. GEORG 2 BRADSHAW seconded the motion. The Earl of KINNAIRD said that subscriptions had been already originated in Scotland. They had four hundred women on the list, and six hundred children ; and, unfortunately, they knew that many of these were widows and orphans. It occurred to him that there would be groat difficulty in providing for those orphans by the parties who had the distribution of the funds, and if they saw in that establishment an insti tution that was capable of receiving a certain number, it would be of great use. Not having known of Dr. Cumming's resolution, he was going to propose that they should admit the whole number they could let in at a reduced price, provided the parties who had raised the funds should some forward and pay the sum they demanded. A long discussion took place arising out of a suggestion that by the course proposed for adoption the bye-laws of the society would be violated. Mr. MACRAII moved as au amendment to the resolu tion that a committee should be appointed to consider the best means of acting in this emergency. Mr. LAING seconded the amendment. Mr. J. MassoN opposed the amendment. They should do their duty as their gallant countrymen had done their duty on the heights of Alma, and by so act ing they would carry the institution triumphantly over all et stacleS. Dr. RALLY observed that the institution was suffi ciently hrge to hold nearly three times the number of THE PACIFIC SQUADRON. Tho following is an extract from a letter received on the 20th inst. from the Pacific : " Her Majesty's ship President, at Sea, July 28. "On the 17th of May we left Callao for the Marque sas islands, in company with the Virago and a French squadron, consisting of La Forte, 60 guns, and Obli• gado, 18, and reached Nukakiva, the French settlement at the Marquesas, on the Bth of June, having had a very fine run of 3,000 miles. We remained there till the 3d of-July, when the squadron, which had been reinforced, sailed for Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, in quest of the enemy. Our force, on arriving at Honolulu consisted of : English—the President, 95 ; Amphitrite, 25 ; Vi rago, 6. French—La Fort., 60 ; Eurydice, 30 ; Arte mi,c, 30 ; Ohligado, 18. "The Pique juinod us on the 22d, having gone. almost direct from Rio Janeiro to meet the squadron, so that we have now a very respectable force of ships to meet the Russians with. " During our stay at Honolulu all the ships were busily employed in completing water and. provisions. Each ship left with live cattle on board. We took six of the finest bullocks I ever saw, and we have just got through three of them to-day. It was actually neces sary for the health of all - that- we should at least have a fortnight's fresh meat, as before our arrival there we had been 6:3 days on her Majesty's allowance of salt beef and pork, which you may imagine was not calculated to im prove our health or general appearance. " While we were at Honolulu the Admiral and many officers of the squadron attended a full dress levee of the King of the Sandwich islands, at which you will pro') ,bly smile, but I can assure you that English and American civilization has done wonders here. King Kamehameha 111. keeps up his Court in the same man ner as in England ; has Palace Guards, Ministers of Departments (Europeans principally), and all the attributes of Royalty. Her - Majesty the Queen is blessed with a daughter called the Princess Victoria, after her Majesty, and there are several princes of the Royal blood. The chiefs are perfict aristocrats, and boast of their unpolluted descent for many generations. The nobility are very fine well-grown men, and the difference. of their appearance and that of the lower orders indi cates a decided superiority of breeding. The King is said t,) have the prevailing • weakness of his subjects for drink to an incredible extent, and probably the Ame ricans will in one of his drunken fits induce him tomako over his dominions to them, as the 7 are very - anxious to incorporate these. splendid islands with the United States. The Admiral took His Majesty and the Royal familv-and all the Court outside the harbour for a cruise in the Virago on the 22d, and on passing our fleet, which must have appeared most imposing to thorn, the Presi dent and Forte fired a royal salute in honour of His Ma jesty, and A the ships n:anned yards and gave three cheers. His Majesty and suite were all dressed in very handsome and expensive uniforms ; the Virago was crowded with English and American ladies and gentle men ; our band was on board the steamer, which mus thave been a great treat to them all, as it is really a first-class one. I never saw in the Pacific such splendid facilities for obtaining supplies for ships. Of course, the arrival of our large squadron raised the price of the market considerably—more than double—but everything can be procured,—water, in abundance, coal, bullocks, much finer than English ; sheep and cattle of all kinds, veget ables, fruits, and almost everything can be obtained, either produced in the islands or brought from San Fran cisco, which is only about 10 or 12 days' sail. " About 300 whalers come to Honolulu every year to refit, and its central position in the ocean makes it in valuable. It is a sad pity our Government have not possession—a more glorious depot foi the squadron and merchantmen could not be found. " lienolulu has sprung up in 30 years to be a consider able and well-built, town of about 15,000 inhabitants, and everything bears the air of advancing civilization and improvement. There are two or three newspapers published weekly, and communication with San Fran cisco has been established fortnightly. During our stay these the celebrated singer Catherine Hayes arrived in a merchant bark from San Francisco en, route to Austra lia ; she paid us a visit last Sunday. " Nukabiva, one of the Marquesas, was also visited. The bay in fine weather is the most magnificent piece of scenery that can be imagined. It is perfectly land locked, in shape of a horse-shoe, and surrounded by hills about 1,000 to 1,200 feet high. The first part of our stay the weather was very fine, and we enjoyed ourselves much. During the latter part of our stay it rained in cessantly and so heavily as to prevent our going on shore. The French have a settlement here, consisting of a wretched fart of three guns, several neatly-built houses, occupied by the Governor and his officers, and the ie , :t storehouses for salt provisions, the resources of the island not furnishing adequate supplies for 150 set tlers, who are soldiers of the colonial regiments of France. They are obliged to be exceedingly cautions with the natives, who do not appear to like them much, and great precaution has to be used to prevent a sur prise by them, which occurred once, and nearly all the French were killed by the blacks. There is always a French ship of war there, the captain of which acts as Governor. The natives are a fine race—dark copper colour, and tattooed all over the body and face, and sonic of Cum have a terrific a,pect. Their costume is generally that worn by our common parent, Adam, but they are very fond of European clothes, and wear them with a great air. The women are not bad-looking, and have a little more dress than the men, although their spare attire would alarm sums of our good folks at home. They are expert swimmers. I saw several women in the water with their infants, which they managed to hold aloft most cleverly. The island abounds with cocoanuts, bananas, and guaves, and all sorts of vegetables grow profusely. Pigs ars also very numerous, but cannot be obtained by us at any price. Melville's Typee gives a most interesting account of these islands, althouele rather romanced. • " We are now going to a very trying part of the globe to Sitka, a Russian fur settlement, which is in a very high northern latitude, and the weather is very severe there. We are in hopes of meeting the Russian squa dron there, and of ascertaining whether we are to have any fighting or prize-meney. Should it turn out no thing is to be done there, we shall, doubtless, proceed to Petropaulovski, another sentlement on the coast o f Kamtscuatka, where the Russian ships will doubt less he. " At present it appears our force will comprise the President, Pique, Eurydice, and Virago. The French Admiral proceeded to San Francisco to look out for pri ♦ateers, with she other portion of the squadron. " We are, however, quite uncertain ; a day might alter the whole cf our surmises. All we now are certain of is that we are about 300 miles from Honolulu, steering due north. We are now about 25,000 miles from home. I forward this by the Amphitrite, leaving to go with the French Admiral to San Francisco. I am glad to say WC are all well in health, and very happy and comfort table m every way." I FRIZNCII SPECULATOR. We extract the following from a letter received this morning from Paris ;--A. story is told of one nervous speculator, whose existence since what may be called the first taking of Sebastopol has been one of uninter rupted torture, and the tale is not improbable under the circumstances. The person in question has speculated on a fall, and puzzled in common with the public at large by the extraordinary and oftentimes unintelligible accounts brought by the telegraph, be made a bold effort to arrive at the truth amid the doubt and darkness which encompassed it. With that object ho went to consult one of those female somnambulists who, for the small fee of a franc per consultation, will disclose all that passes at the moment she speaks, from the North Polo to the Antarctic, or from Hindostan to the back woods of America. The stockjobber timidly put his questions to the sleeping sorceress—" What are th e Allied Armies deing at this moment ?" (The consultation took place the day before yesterday.) " They are en camped near Sebastopol."

Sire— , The recent loss of the Arctic having drawn the attention of the public to the necessity of . adoptingsome improved mod es o f g i v i ng wa r n i ng to vessels during a fog, allow me to submit to your notice a plan I deeigned a few years ago on the occasion of. the collision between the steriener Europa and an ernieeaut vessel. • The two methods in common use are by means of a gun or a bell. The gun cline!, without doubt, is the most powerful one we can have, but as the firing must be repeated at short intervals, it becomes a source of great &elegance to paesengere, as well as considerable labour to the crew, to say nothing of the Injurious:effect of the flash on the eyesight of the lookouts. The bell signal has little power, and in a moderate breeze can ; scarcely be heard to windward. Steam whistles have been used in some few eases, bat have not been advan tageously placed. I propose that a large steam whistle, as mi-ical as . possible, be placed near the top of the smoke funnel, the steam pipe being carried inside the funnel to prevent condensatiolt, the stopouck to be fixed in connection with either the main shaft or some other moving portion of the engine, se that the whistle may blow f7,r a certain reenter of revolutions of the engine, and then be silent for a certain number more, thus giving a periodical wariline, wide:, experience has proved to be the best description of signal. By this arrangement the whistle will be sufficiently removed from the deck not to effect the bearing of the watch. The elevation will extend the range of sound, and the intervals will enable the watch to detect the whistle of any other steamer near at hand. This is the plan in its simplest form. However, to car/ y it aut further, I propose that the duration of the whistle- and the length of the interval shall indicate the course the vessel is steering, or, at least, an approxinia tion—ia this way • e evneele blowing. secnte Course ileered. 10 • , so 15 • Revolutions of 1 25 engines. j 30 30 S.. 135 25 40 . 45 ..... 15 ... - NAV. Now, although steamers do not make the same num her of revolutions per minute for any great length of time nor the same number as one another, it would be easy by means of the second hand of a watch,- to-note the time occupied by any two of these intervals, and thus tell the course steered by an approaching steamer. But, lastly, to make the signals quite perfect, I propose that the ster in be admitted to the whistle by means of a small regu lating donkey-engine, making exactly 60 revolutions per minute. this the whistle would still sound during such periods that the engines might be slacked or re versed to avoid collision. The details for working such a whistle will be obvious to any engineer, and as they would vary according to the plan adopted, and also to the description of engines in the vessel, it is needless to do scribe them here. Suffice it to say, that in all cases the steam-cock, del also the arrangements fir indicating the course steered, should be under tile control of the watch on deck. In conclusion, although lam aware that there is always great difficulty in getting plans of this sort into general use, still, as some of your readers may consider it to their interest to attempt tunic means of preventing the sacrifice of life and property, I shall be sufficiently re , warded if it is the means of saving one vessel, and causing collisions at sea to be as rare as unfortunately they are at present frequent. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, • F. CHI.3IITON; Engineer, Southampton. 3fULLE. A letter from Paris this morning contains the follow ing :—" Along with Sebastopol, lidlle.

FRIGHTFUL DEATII--On Wednesday evening as the 9 o'clock train neared the Lewes station, the engine-driver saw a man between the rails in an upright position, about a dozen yards in front of him.

The driver inforined the station-master of what bad taken place, and he arid a porter went beckon the live and found the body of Mr. George Harman, see., builder of Lewes, Is lug across the line, completely cut in two, thliquely from the right shoulder to the short ribs on the left side.

Tau therms STATES.—Thei commercial advices from the United States this week 'hew the continuance of a very severe degree of preseure in most of the principal cities. The 4th of October, which had been: much dreaded, had passed in New York without any fresh failures, but at Philadelphia and Boston several large firms had broken down. Among these were Messrs. Reed and Brothers, of Philadelphia, large importers of dry goods ; and Lincoln, Wing, and Co., in the Aus tralien trade ; Chapin and Whitton, wholesale druggists ; and Samuel Sandford, a large holder of real estate, all of Boston, in addition to Mostwa. Samuel F. Morse and Co., clothiers and dry goods importers, of that city, whose stoppage was announced by the previous packet. The liabilities of Messrs. l'Zeed and Brothers are stated at 200,0001., and the umeal assertions are made with re gard to their having a large surplus, its alleged amount exceeded either Philadel phia, being 60,0001. Their suspension took every one by sur prise, and indignation seems to have been excited at their giving as the sole reason for their stoppage that they wished to go into liquidation and wind up their affairs. The returns of the New York banks continued to exhibit a diminution of specie, but the knowledge of the amounts coming in from California prevented any panic on that ground. Isoeking at the anxious state of' affairs on all sides, the failures thus far in New York had been far less numerous than had been anticipated, and, as the manner in which the various firms had 6118. tamed themselves had created confidence, a strong hope was entertained that after the 4th of next month the hard be; beenl illeeax P ee : l e e p ayme nts worst would certainly be over.
