We hold 'it to be totally impossible to regard the security of the East as established while a Russian fortress and a fleet exist in a : position where they tali only serve for pUrposes of aggression. It can not for a monient be supposed that the Allied Powers will consent to desist from the vast enter prise"in which they , aare engaged upon any terms short of tilasurrender and demolition of Sebastopol for till that has been accomplished nothing has been done for the permanent settlement of these momentous .questions ; and we must also be in a condition to require that no such armaments and fortifications shall again menace the inland shores of the Turkish dominions. If you do mo the great honour of approving me no the tried friend of civil, religious, and commercial freedom- as the pro moter of good local self-government, and of that efficiency in local administration which is the only true econom►,—as the supporter of extended franchise and gcnocal education—and as the advocate of the present jug and necessary war—a War undertaken, in concert with our brave French neighbours, for the purpose of checkteg the encroachments of despotism, and of ultimately, .with God's bless ing, conquering for Europe a cafe and honoureble peace; if, ably° all, you feel with me that we ought to strain every nerve to succour effectively and at once cur tstruggling forces In the Crimea. the wasted sarvivors of that gallant army, so lately embarked Irons oar shores with the-pride of health, of equipment, and of munbere ;'if you agree with me that we are bound to reinforce and refit, without stint, that sadly diminished band of her .es, whose noble prowess and ill-requited humanity, whose devoted obedience and uncomplaining. endurance make us proud of the name of Englishmen, but whose losses, privations, and sufferings it makes our hearts bleed in the midst of our exultation to think upon ;-- If, on these terms and with these sentiments, you place me in the proud position of your Representative, I shall endeavour to nterit your approbation, and testify my gratitude by a diligent attention to my public duties and a sedulous promotion of your local interests. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, Grosvenor-square, Dec. 7, 1814. EBR INGTO.N. Such we conceive to be the minimum, of the con ditions now -required of Russia as preliminaries of peace ; and, although they may not include all that may be dethanded, a peace on such terms would destroy all pretemiions put fort - arcl by Ilan sia, and would afferd solid guaranteesfor the future . progress and tranquillity of :the East. Is it, then, to be anticipated that the E mperor Ni c h o l as w ill yield to these terms ? In sober reason and mere prudence it were well for hini if he did so. He can at no time expect more favourable conditions. The number of his antagonists-increases, and as yet they , have net pc.i.t ferth half their' strength. He wages that fatal combat of one against all, in which sue ceSs is impossible ; • and if d. armies sue ceedin islfasp,' it will 118 — perinauently lost to his empire. The longer the struggle is continued, the deeper and the more certain his loss. But, on the other hand, he has still enormous military resources, the flower of his nligiasgepwer has not beenli and, though his pridearmies has has b h e o e t n y n e . t o ü b n e d e e n d crushed, by defeat. He has throughout misjudged the strength and determination of Europe ; his re sentment against his former allies inflames his pas sions and controls his policy ; and, When a sove reign of absolute power stands between the two alternatives which are now before him; the course he resolves to take is usually the boldest and the worst. For these reasons we- believe that war on a .more extended scale, and not peace, will arise out of the present conjuncture of affairs. RUSSIA AND THE TVESTERIir POWERS. ,(From the limes.) A note, r.ddressed by Count Nesselied° to the Russian Minister at Berlin about a month •ago, will be found in another part of our columns, in which the Russian Cabinet signifies its consent to take part in negotiations for peace upon the basis of the Four Points, modified to suit the views of the Court of St. Petersburg. About ten days later, and after the result of the battle of 'nicer man was known by the Czar, the Austrian Minister at St. Petersburg was informed that the Russian Government was disposed to accept the Four Points without these modifications. In both cases it is evident that the real object of the Russian Cabinet in making these declarations was to obtain from Germany " a neutrality supported with firmness and perseverance ;" but in both cases the manoeuvre seems to have failed, for even Prussia was not restrained from concluding the additional article to her treaty with Austria, and Austria proceeded without any further delay to complete her treaty with the Western Powers. It is evident therefore that the German States.theme selves regarded this qualified adoption of the four articles as an insincere or insufficient concession, which was intended merely to disar in and 'divide them, without any substantial compliance with the just demands of the belligerent Powers. The question, however, is not yet irrevocably decided ; and it is undoubtedly still open to the Emperor of Russia to declare in the course of the present month that he does absolutely, and without equivocation or reserve, accept the Four Points as they aro understood by the three Allied Powers. There is, of course, no war— unless it be a war waged in a spirit of vin dictiveness or of conquest—which may not be terminated at any given moment by the sub mission of one of the contending parties to terms imposed by the other. It is within the range of possibiiity, though not of probability, that the Emperor of Russia may conceive the moment of submission to be come, since any further delay must lead to the conclusion of an offensive and de fensive alliance between Austria and the Western Powers, and augment the perils which surround his empire. We may therefore reasonably inquire what is the extent of the terms now demanded by the Allied Courts, and what is the probability that the Emperor of Russia will yield to thorn ? The four conditions contained in the Notes of the Bth of August were necessarily and intention ally expressed in language which left room for great latitude of interpretation, and their precise effect remained to be settled by further discussion and negotiation. At the present time, however, no such vagueness of expression can be allowed to subsist, and wo have no doubt that the Allied Governments have clearly and decidedly stated to each other their whole intentions. Holding in the first place, that all the former treaties between Russia and the Porte are abrogated by the state of war, their first object must be that no such separate conventions or treaties should be renewed, inas much as the stronger Power always had the means of interpreting them to the disadvantage of the weaker State. As long as those treaties were in existence Russia had an exceptional position to wards the Ottoman empire, and the Sultan was not included in those general provisions which embrace and protect the family of European States. On this point, then, the axe is laid to the root of the tree, for the ascendancy of Rus sia over Turkey bad been obtained by these treaties, the growth of 80 years of encroach ment and intrigue. Prince Menschikoff was sent to crown the work by his demands, but he over threw the whole fabric. Together with the treaties between Russia and the Porte, the separate acts and conventions establishing the influence of Russia in the Danubian Principalities must be hold to be extinct, and the future condition of those fertile provinces is open to deliberation. Russia declares that she is ready to adopt the principle of a joint guarantee of the civil and re ligous right of the Christian populations of the Ottoman empire, to be given by the five great Powers, on the faith of the assurance repeatedly proclaimed by the Western Powers in the course of this struggle, that they are resolved to secure the amelioration of the condition of the Sultan's Chris tian subjects. We have always regarded, and we still regard, the improvement of the condition of the Christian populations as one of the grand ob jects of the interference of the Christian Powers in this quarrel, for the only practicable mode of aug menting the resources and of reforming the institu tions of the Ottoman empire is to make its Chris tian inhabitants contented' instead of disaffected subjects. Lord Clarendon has repeatedly stated, both in Parliament and in his despatches, the para mount importance this country attaches to that just and necessary change ; but there is a broad distinction between this general principle recog nized by all the Powers, and the exclusive protec torate claimed by Russia over the great branch of the Christian Church in the East, which she affected to identify with the Russian church. On this point, then, her change of language is remark able, and her defeat would be total. It is not a little curious that the exclusive protectorate of the Greek Church, which she made the pretext of this whole dispute, is now the first thing she professes to abandon. The right of free navigation in the Danube has never been disputed by the Russian Government in principle, but it has been destroyed or obstructed in practice by the occupation of the delta under the Treaty of Adrianople, by the silting up of the Sulina mouth, and hy the establishment of batteries and quarantine stations on the right bank of the river. To secure the exercise of this right, there fore, the terms of the third article of the Treaty of Adrianople must be altogether changed ; the whole right bank of the stream, down to the Sulina mouth, must be restored to Turkey, and effectual measures taken to keep the passage open. The fourth proposition, which is in truth the most important and the most difficult to enforce, was very imperfectly expressed by the Allied Powers when they stated that they demanded a revision of the Convention of the Straits. " Rus sia," says Count Nesselrode, " would not oppose the complete abolition of that convention, providde the Sultan consents ;" and by such a process of r e vision Russia would bo the real gainer, for th same law which shuts the rest of Europe out of th e Black Sea in time of peace shuts her up within it. To open the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus is to place the Sultan in his palace at the mercy of every ship-of-war that passes before his windows ; and the fleets of Russia would find their way to the Mediterranean quite as easily as our vessels would reach the Euxine. The matter is, kowever, not so easily settled. The real meaning of this proposi tion was and is, as M. Drouyn do Lhuys expressed it, the limitation of the power of Russia in the and subsequent events have shown entiro• free dom of access to those waters, but also the (le ' Brick thatth S e ' :k j' llies contemplate not only struction of that huge fleet and fortress against which our forces by sea and land are at this time arrayed.

Before that eventful evening it is not probable that any definite, official account of the contents of the treaty will be allowed to reach the public. We were enabled, however, to publish yesterday, in our second edition, some particulars obtained by our Paris correspondent from a reliable authority, which will in all proba bility be found to be not very wide of the mark. In our third edition. we published a telegraphic de spatch from our correspondent on the Danube, which seems to show that the treaty has already borne fruits. Nest week 40,000 Turks, of the veteran army of the Danube, with one hundred guns, will embark at Varna and Baltschik for the Crimea. Mussar Pacha is to superintend the em barkation ; and Omer Pacha is to leave Bucharest in a few days. A decided step of this nature hil -1 plies that Omer Paella—who certainly is not in clined to repose a blind confidence in Austria—and his Government are satisfied with the attitude which that power has now assumed. Only one Turkish regiment is to be left at Bucharest. A large proportion of Omer Pacha's forces, which could be of comparatively little service in the drowned and muddy lands' of the Lower Danube during the winter, is to be added immediately to the Allied armies before Sebastopol. This intelli gence will not come unexpectedly upon those who have been in the habit of perusing the reports of our corespondent in Bucharest. While the journals of Vienna, and latterly even the French Moniteur, have been speaking of an immediate advance by Omer Pacha's army on Bessarabia, he has con stantly warned us not to expect any military opera tions in that quarter before March. The nucleus of what may by that time become au invading army still stands in the immediate vicinity of the Screth ; and in the meantime the hostile armaments destined to work the fall of Sebastopol are rapidly aug menting. .... •-- - . • A new Book for Autum and Winter.

Our correspondent, it will be seen, speaks with less confidence of the alleged promise of the Western Powers to maintain Austria in the integrity of her dominions than of the other pro visions of the Treaty. This is the point on which the public raind. of England is most anxious. It is a point on which we confess our own apprehen sions are not yet entirely removed. We are assured, however, from a quarter likely to be well informed, that England stands entirely free from any such engagement. Between France and Aus tria, it is understood that there is some separate arrangement with regard to their respective posi tions in Italy. This is extremely probable,. and indeed unavoidable. However much we desire to see the Italians left entirely to themselves —freed from the presence both of Austrian and French armies—that question is not at present on the tapis. The sovereignty of Austria in Lombardy and the Venetian territory is a fact which fortu nately cannot be called in question. The occupa tion of Rome by French troops is also a fact of some four years' standing. It is better that Rome should be occupied by French than by Austrian troops. Indeed, it is probably owing to the pre sence of French troops in Rome that the Austrians do not at this moment hold military possession of tho whole States of the Church, and that they do not venture upon any encroachments on Sardinia. It is quite natural that Austria should insist upon some assurance .th a t a force, the mere presence of which keeps it s ambitious projects in Italy in check, shall not b e employed to weaken i ts pos ition there. It is most d esira b le that no rash or prema ture movement on t h e part of Ital i an pa t r iots should take pla ce a t the present time, when th ere is really no p rospect of success ; and th i s b e i ng the case, there can be no practical harm in an arrangement b e t ween Franco and Aus t r i a , which can h ave no validity whenever t h e state of affai rs i n Italy undergoes any material change. Still it i s to be hoped that England i s no party given t o such an ephemeral understan di ng between the oth er two Powers. Those detail s o f t h e Treaty, with respect to w hi c h our correspond en t speaks with confidence, are briefly as follows :—Russia is to be called upon immediately to accept of a peace on th e basis of the Russia giiip i s s nnfo war a tor r in be four points, as i n t erpreted in the Treaty. Th i s in terpretation i nc l u d es the throwing open of the Black ea to th e fl eets of the W e stern Powers. thatallowed ssea, t andom F a i n r t a a n i more ce and E than nbo six . land are ea c h ( as we understand it) to be allowed the same number. An European port is to be established either at Batoun or Sinope, as a counter poise to Sebastopol: As a guarantee for the free navigation of the Danube, the fortress of Ismail and all the Russian forts near the mouth of the river are to be destroyed. Each of the Five Great Powers is to protect separately its own subjects in Turkey ; and the protectorate of the Christian sal; jects of the Porte is to bo exercised by them ool lectively. If these conditions are not accepted by Russia before the Ist or 2d of January, the Aus trian Minister at St. Petersburg is to be recalled; and if Russia continue obstinate till the 2d of March, Austria will declare war, send 20,000 men to the Crimea, and enter Bessarabia with the rest of its disposable forces. It is evident, on the most cursory view, that there are some points in the Treaty, as described to us, that cannot possibly be permanent. Other Powers —and in tho foremost rank of these the United States of North America—will claim the same free access for their ships of war to the Euxine that is conceded to the Allies ; and this of itself will render a modification of the terms of the Con vention at an early period inevitable. The joint protectorate of the Christian subjects of the Porte will of necessity prove a nullity. The rivalry of France and Russia, arising out of their respec tive protectorates of the Latin and Greek Christians in Jerusalem would be a faint type of the incessant wrangling and intrigues to which a joint protec torate exercised by two Protestant, two Roman Ca tholic, and one Greek Power would give rise. There never will be any effectual interference with the internal government of Turkey on the plea of religion ; and there ought not to be. But it is scarcely necessary to argue about the efficacy or or the probable permanence of the Convention be tween Austria and the Western Powers. It is in the last degree improbable that Russia will accept of peace on the terms proposed. They are offered to the Czar, ae the Sybil offered all her books in the first instance to Tarquin. The obstinate pride of Nicholas • will constrain him to reject the bar gain as originally tendered to him, and accept in the long run a much less advantageous peace at the price of greater concessions.

''. Cic - . , " i A lk \A-- , , \ in ffeneral is that it diStinctlY ties down Austria to act in our sense to a certain extent. Austria has placed itself on the rails, and cannot get off again it must go on further than it at present contem plates, or take worse consequences. We have no great faith in Austria, and we could have wished a solution of the Eastern difficulties better calcu lated to set them at once and permanently at rest than the terms of the Treaty of Alliance afford. But the existence of Austria as an independent State is an obstacle in the way—is a fact that can not be got rid of by a coup. de-main, whatever fer vent orators and speculative politicians, who re construct the European system of States in tl eir closets, as they would write a historical romance, may say. A rock that stands in the line of a pro jected road or railway cannot be pushed aside by one effort ; it must bo hewn, and blaited, and re moved piecemeal : and so with the obstacles which the hereditary policy of a State like Austria opposes to th© most desirable organisation of the European system of States. The • Treaty with Austria—unless our information respecting it is entirely erroneous—is a step in advance ; it places the Liberals of Europe in a more favourable and commanding position for further operations than they had ever attained before. A terrible respon sibility will.rest upon any Liberal who would mar the prospect of so fair a political harvest "by ~ putting in his sickle ere tie ripe. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton, sailed from Spit head at noon to-day for Queenstown, to embark troops for the Crimea. The Leopard, 18, paddle-frigate, Cap tain Giffard, will follow her about Saturday next. The St. George, 120, Captain H. Eyres, C. 8., w as paid wages in Plymouth Sound by Rear-Admiral Eden on Tuesday. Every expedition has been used in pre paring her for the reception of troops. Bed places and mess tables have been fitted, and two extra fire-hearths have been supplied. She has a quantity of Ordnance stores on board, and was appointed to sail on Thursday for Queenstown, to embark troops for the Crimea. The Orion, 91 guns, new.serer line-of-battle ship, having bad her heavy machinery, masts, and bowsprit just put into her into the fitting basin it Sheerness, has been put out, and yesterday preparations were made for towing - her to Chatham for further fitment. The African steam-tug and the Lizard, Lieut. Christopher, were lashed alongside her. On slipping her from her moorings 'off the basin, thn wind at the tune was blowing very strong from the north-west, broadside on her hull, and before the vessels could get steerage-way on her, she drifted with the wind and tide foul of the town-pier ; fortunately, the, . . tide being low, her keel caught on the cant edge off the pier, and the damage dose on the flowing of the tide was trifling. She was at the time under pilot charge of Mr. J. Milbank, Trinity pilot at this port. The Master-Attendant, the Assistant Master-Attendant, and a strong party of riggers, were in attendance ; and, after some time, succeeded in getting her clear and moored at the outer moorings off the yard. She forded the For midable, guard-ship of ordinary, doing some slight damage to her, carrying away her starboard, whisker,&c. The Monarch, 84, Capt. Lyster, sailed yesterday morn ing with a splendid breeze from Spithead for Devon port. The Calcutta, 84, Captain James J. Stopford, still re mains at Falmouth trying to complete her complement by getting seamen to volunteer from the merchant ships calling at that port. She received a draught of 30 men from the Impregnable, brought round by the Avon steamer last Saturday, and these, together with six volunteers she has got during her stay at Falmouth, make'her crew up to 620 men, so that she now requires 130 men to complete her complement of 750. It is re ported that her officers and crew will be turned over to a screw ship, most probably the Cornwallis, early in February. The Melampus, 42, frigate-transport, is under the sheers at Sheerness. Her lower masts are taken out, as they were only those of a brig, to make her work easy from one port to another. Orders have been re ceived to fit her with all despatch for a troop-ship. The Horatio, 22, screw, Commander Jenner, is still in Sheerness harbour, waiting Admiralty orders. The Pylades, 21, screw, is in the graving dock at Sheerness, and ba.i her cappering nearly finished. Many artisans are working at her, fitting her with all possible despatch. The Leopard, 18, paddle, Capt. Giffird, got up steam in the steam.ba:,in, yesterday afternoon, to prove engines and boilers. She will haul out to-day. The Brisk, 14, screw, Commander Curtis, proceeded from Falmouth on Thursday, for Rio Janeiro and the Pacific. The Heels, 6, paddle, is alongside the jetty at Ports mouth, receiving her stores, and making every exertion to comply with her "sudden orders," although we do not think it possible she can get away before Sunday. The Dee, 6, paddle, Lieut. Commander Smith, has gone out of Portsmouth Harbour, snider orders. The Porcupine, paddle, Lieut.. Commander Jackson, is in Sheerness Harbour, waiting orders, &c. The Cuckoo, paddle, is in Sheerness Harbour. /,--------- i~~~ /~~~~~ [PRICE SD. ./ other officer.

To furnish this and the other fortifications with troops extensive barrack accommodation must be provided at Pembroke. The magnificent fortified barracks there at present are totally inadequate to that service, and to prevent the inhabitants being saddled with billeted sol diers, the new barrack■ already decided upon, and for the construction of which all the preliminary arrange ments have been perfected, must be forthwith taken in hand—a consummation devoutly to be wished.-- Carmarthen Journal. rxtensive coast defences are now in course of construc tion at Shoreham, Eastbourne, Newhaven, and Fresh water, opposite the Needles, and other places on the south coast.

The Ist (King's Own) Staffordshire Militia have ob tained 100 volunteers to replace those men who haie entered the regular army, and they join at Dover to morrow (Saturday). ENROLMENT OF THE MILITIA. - Complaints have readied us of the delays experienced by colonels of militia in ob taining the r emittances from the War-office necessary to en-rolment, of their rbgimenti. We understand, however, that much of this delay is attributable to the irregularity of the applications klade by the commandirg officers of the several regiments to the War-office. All such applications should state to whom t)io bills ;or mili tia service' are to be made payable. If the bills are drawn -in favour of the colonel, they cannot be cashed by any A RUN OH THE BANK OF ROME. The Bank of Rome, says a letter of the '3oth ult., had been thrown into some jeopardy .by a violent run on it, which lasted about ten days, and which would ap pear to have been brOul7,lit about by want of precau tion on the part of the Government. As the old paper money of the revolution which had been in circulation as a legal tender was very nearly all called in, the daily commerce of the city required a certain amount of specie to supply the place of the small notes which bad been withdrawn. At the same moment, by an un fortunate chance, the Bank obtained permission from Government to issue a large number of notes of one piastre. These latter were liable tq be reimbursed in specie on presentation at the Bank. Their emission came so close on the withdrawal of the notes, that the people confounded the two together, and distrusted both alike. In consequence, a run was made on the bank to have the piastre-notes repaid in specie ; and this application for specie became an absolute panic when it transpired that the Russian Goverameat had issued a circular en joining all collectors of taxes to take only specie in pay ment of their claims. This rush to the hank then became tremendous, and the police were obliged to interfere to preserve order. The bank paid at first to all persons in discriminately, but afterwards was obliged, not abso lutely to suspend its payments, but arrange them ac cording to the amount of demands made on it. Under such circumstances the bank was forced to apply to the Government for assistance, which was accorded, and in addition a notice was inserted in the-Giornale di Roma, of a mature to tranquillise the public mind relative to the Aability of the bank. The Government at the same time withdrew the interdiction made precedently to its collectors of taxes. TEE LOSS OF THE SHIP POLAR STAR BY FIRE. The following account of this unfortunate disaster has been received from the captain of the ill•fated' vessel : " Sunday, October 1, 1854, lat. 31 S., long. 25 W., at eight a.m., I was alarmed by the cry of fire, which was immediately confirmed by the serjeant of the detach ment of Royal Artillery which was on board, rushing into the cuddy, calling to kis lieutenant—' The ship is on fire, sir! the ship is on fire, sir !' I immediately rushed out on deck, and found the statement but too true. On going forward I found the smoke issuing out of the fore hatchway ii a dense black cloud. I immediately or dered the helm to be put up, and let the ship go off be fore the wind. The smoke thon began to ascend in a thick black cloud up the main hatchway. All hands, troops and passengers, were immediately set to work with pumps and buckets to poor water down the hatchways, it being impossible for ariy one to get below. After working with the water for some time, and finding that the fire was gaining, I ordered all the hatches to be put on and securely battened. down, to prevent any air from getting below. After getting hatches secured, cleared away the launch, and hung her over the side in the tackles, fear ing the flames would burst up the hatchway and consume her. After seeing the beats all right, we cut holes in the deck fore and aft to insert funnels, being careful to stop up the holes when the funnels were removed from one hole to. another. Daring the whole of this time no pen can describe the distraction and confusion amongst the women and children—many of them with scarcely any clothing on them, and no possibility of jetting--tarry: We now found ourselves in a most deplorable position ; for, in addition to having our ship burning under us, we found that we had neither water nor provisions on deck, a thousand miles away from, hind, and our boats not capable of containing more than two-thirds our number, if obliged to have recourse to them. — Noe* : Crew and passengers working unceasingly with pumps and buckets, in the hopes of keeping the fire un der. Observing a great deal of smoke to escape out of the topgallant forecastle, we immediately filled up all the seams and crevices, and covered all over with a wet sail. About four p.m. made an attempt to get down through the poop into the after storeroom, and succeeded in getting up two or three bags of biscuit, two or three hams, and a small keg of spirits. Eight p.m. ; Divided the troops, passengers, and sailors in two watches, Lieu tenant Temple taking charge of one watch, and myself the other. They were then told to which boat they would have to go in case of necessity, so as to have as little confusion at last as possible. Sixty were named for the launch, 22 for the pinnace, and 14 for the gig. The watch was then set to work again, and continued through. out the night to work incessantly and cheerfully. At daylight on Monday morning sent ono hand up to the masthead, hoping some sail might providentially heave in sight, as that was our only hope of escape, the boats being sure to swamp if made use of. Noon.—Strong breeze and a dark gloomy atmosphere, all hands working moat indefatigably, and making every effort to keep the fire under. Six p.m. ; Darkness again closing in without having seen any sailor signs of delivery. Oh, ho w anxiously every eye was directed around the horizon so long as a blink of daylight remained ! But in vain. Nothing was to be seen afloat but our burning ship, the smoke issuing out of every aperture where any air was admitted; Eight p.m. : Set the watch again, and relieved each other during the night. Daylight : Sent another look out up to the masthead, but nothing to be seen. Six a.m. : Got some water out of the tank, and found it to be almost up to boiling heat ; the deck becoming very much heated. Noon : Strong breeze and cloudy ; no thing in sight ; crow all at work, making every effort to suppress the fire and to keep it from bursting forth. Six p.m.: Just as night was closing in for the third time, and with it almost every hope of succour, it pleased God to bless our sight and cheer our hearts with the sight of a ship on our weather bow. All hands immediately got up and gave three cheers, but as darkness was closing in fast they were admonished not to build their hopes too high for fear they should not see our sig nals, whereby the disappointment would only be the greater. We immediately commenced firing minute guns, and burning blue lights, which were immediately answered, and we had the happiness of knowing that they were seen, and our signals understood. The ship was fast bearing down to - us. Seven p.m.: She rounded under our stern, when Lieutenant Temple and myself went on board to explain our situation. The ship proved to be the Anna Mooka, from Callao, bound to Cadiz. Captain Hutchinson promised to render us all the assistance in his power, and lay by until daylight. Eight p.m.: Returned, on board again, and sent all the women on board the Anna Mooka. Daylight . Captain Hutchinson went round the decks with me, and examined all the holes that had been cut ; feeling the heat of the decks, &c. ; his opinion perfectly coin ciding with mine and Lieutenant Temple's that she could not possibly hold out much longer, and that, as soon as the hatches were lifted, the flames would ascend. Nothing but the unceasing exertions of the crew and passengers, and having kept everything bat tened down, had kept the ship from being consumed. before. I immediately sent what live stock, &c., to• gether with the passengers and some of the troops, on board the Anna Mooka, keeping on board sufficient for the boats to carry without being too deep. After making the boats fast under the ' lee quarter with one or two hands in to keep them off, I ordered the hatches to be taken off, when imme diately the ship was enveloped in a cloud of smoke. In less than ten minutes the flames burst up the main hatchway ; all hands were then ordered to the boats and to shove off, which had not been done more than ten minutes before the mainmast fell over the side . with a loud cras h, tearing up the decks and dragging down the f ore t o p mas t and un i zen topgallantmast with it ; in a sh or t ti me after both fore and rnizenmasts fell.

TROOP-SHIP. Another fearful catastrophe at sea to a transport ship with detachments of the 27th Regiment on board, bound to Calcutta, from Queenstown, was made known yesterday at Lloyd's, through private accounts received at the Jerusalem Coffee-ho use , which, it will be seen, was accompanied'.with la mentable loss of human life. The unfortunate vessel was the British ship Charlotte,. of London, owned by Mr. Mews, timber-merchant, of.ROther,, hithe, 585 tons burden, and classed in ItloyErd register as A 1 for 13 years, having been built in 1844. " Algoa Bay, Wednesday, Sept. 20. "The last 24 hours have presented a scene the parallel to which has never been witnessed in Port Elizabeth. At a quarter past 5' p.m. 'yesterday the British ship Char lotte, Capt. A flb.elt, commander, le ing'in the buy, made signal that Ehe had parted an anchor and wanted another. She was from Queenstown, withkdets Chments of the 27th Regiment, for Cal,cutta, and put into the bay two days previous tor fresh supplies and water. The ofEcers or the regiment on hoard w ere Captain Stapylton, Captain Warner, Lieutenant Maguire, Design White, Dr. Kidd, 138 rank and file, 14 wcmen, and 26 children. her wants wtre being supplied by the tank-host, but had not been completed before a heavy sea bloke into the bay, with moderate southerly wind, which increased towards noon, and being more to the S.E., a sig nal w as ma d e from the Pert-dace for the Char lotte to -bites her topgallantmasts and yards, and to be prepared for a gale, which was attended to immediately. The wind freshened considerably, but not to such an extent as . to cause any anxiety for the safety cf the shipping, although the heavy sea rolling in stopped all communication with .the shore. On her signalising that she had parted her anchor the harbour-master replied no assistance couldbe sent to her. la about an hour afterwards she parted from her second anchor, and she .was observed drifting ,northward, but getting all sail on made au attempt to beat out of the bay, and she stood out to the eastward, apparently making good way; but, having no foretopsail bent (her topgallant masts being struck), it was impossible to stay her. In this emergency she beat down towards the bight, and although but dimly , visible; it was too evident she was losing ground. At 8 o'clock the vessel stood towards th e ship ping, and again attempted to wear ; thwwind, , however, by this time had fallen light, and, drifting, • she went ashore on the rocks, exactly opposite the flagstaff at the end of the Jetty-street. As soon as possible tar-barrels were collected and lighted, to inspire confidence, and assist in directing operations. Manby's apparatus was directly brought down, and under the direction of Lieutenant Simpson, of her Majesty's steamer Hydra, ' a rope was thrown several times over the vessel, but from some misunderstanding or want of rope the communication was lost. In the meantime the ship . was fast settling down on the dangerous reef on which she struck, and it was evident she would speedily become a wre c k. The lifeboat was then prepared, and, a crew being collected it was pulled through the breakers, and made its way, under the charge of Capt. Salmond, to the wreck. On coming alongside it was found that every one on board was completely paralysed, or overcome by the calamity. There several tin the lifeboat pulled alongside, but there was ao one in a posi tion even to cast a line in it, till at length the boat was driven back and stove amid thedangerous reefs which line the beach, its crew barely escaping with their li% 03. A moment of terrible anxiety ensued. It was evident to all assembled that the noble vessel was fast breaking up ; the masts had gone, and the sea was making a com plete breach over her. By the glare of the watehfires the hull of the wreck could just be observed, and its deck crowded -with groups of people—some half-dressed, and holding forth in their arms infants and children, screaming to the crowds of people collected on-the rock, and imploring their help to save them. The ago nising cries of the poor creatures announced that the ship was going to pieces. A great number threw them selves overboard ; some were fortunate enough to reach the shore, but the majority were drowned. At about 1 o'clock the poop and stern parted from the vessel, and was carried close in shore. A spar from the reizenmast projected over on to the rook, by which several suc ceeded in seeing themselves by slipping down into the arms of the people. One account states that all col lected on the poop were saved. A great number of soldiers were clinging to the fore part of the wreck. In less than half an hour afterwards that portion of it turned completely over, and every soul that was on it perished. At daylight not a vestige of the ill fated vessel was to bo been where she was wrecked. A mass of broken masts and timber, entangled in ropes and torn sails, strewed the beach. Immediately search was then made for the bodies of those who had perished. During the morning 23 were found, a portion of whom were interred in the church-yard before dark, followed by all the troops in the garrison and a great number of the in habitants. All the children who were en board, except ing one, were drowned. Most of the women also pe rished. On the survivors being mustered it was ascer tained that out of 168 rank and file about 118 were sowed." Tne following is a list of those known to be saved, and it is feared it includes the whole : Cabin Rtsseizers.—Mrs. Short, M`Cabe, Steward, Thomson, and Gillan ; Captains Stapylton and Warner, Lieutenant Maguire, Ensign White, and Dr. Kidd.

A very crowded meeting of the members of the above Literary Institution, was held y es t er d ay even i ng i n St. Martin's Hall, in order to deliberate upon the best means of carrying on the business of the Club during the interval that must elapse before the effects of the late calamitous fire can be repaired. The chair was taken by Mr. Mechi. The CILIIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, observed that, although they had met to discuss a great tempo rary misfortune, he trusted that through the energetic action of the members, all that had happened would only tend to the increased permanent welfare of the Club. (Hear, hear.) He had looked at their whole case simply as a matter of business, and looking at the long term of their lease, and the improving neighbourhood in which their premises were situated, ho believed that everything was in their favour, and knowing that union was strength, it gave him much pleasure to see the crowded meeting that had responded to the invitation of the committee. Mr. TAPP then read the special report of the commit liunbsu property pe b rt y y t f h or e commit tee which, after recapitulating the circumsta nces o f t h e late fire, stated that the premises th weree c Duke of Norfolk for 10,0001., and 2,5001. There were 28 years of the lease yet to run which gave to the club a va l ua bl e b enef i c i al ,i nt e rest : The premises would of course be rebuilt, but the main point for them then to consider was how teinporary, accommodation could be provided during the interval. They had for the present engaged a room at the Norfolk Hotel, where the members would find an ample stock of magazines and newspapers. The committee expressed their regret at the fact that Mr. Brace, their secretary,' had been a considerable loser by the fire, and that the servants had by the same calamity been deprived of all they possessed. A subscription for their relief had been opened, and although only two days before the club, a sum of 401. hod already been collected. (Cheers.) The report proceeded -to reccommend seyneal tempo ' rary arrangements. With respect to,fipanee, the funds cnoninds mittie had to state that at the time of the fire th were in a most satisfactory condition, the last half-year's T st he of corn.the subscription having bee n 7001. against 3501. for the cor responding half-year of 1 852 .

The several suggestions of the report were then put seriatim, and after a short conversational discussion unanimously agreed to. Thanks Here then given to the committee and secre tary, and Mr. YAIT, in the absence of Mr. Brace, returned thanks f•ir the latter. He wished it to be known that to Mr. Bl'aCO'S exertions the whole of the servants, 14 in number, owed their lives on the occasion of the late fire. It had been erroneously stated that they were saved by the firemen, but the fact was that Mr. Brace was tl person who had at the risk of his own life given them the alarm. A vote of thanks to the chairman was then passed by acclamation, and the proceedings terminated.
