The following official report has been presented to the Right Hon. th e L or d s o f the Committ ee o f P r i v y Council for Trade :—" My Lords, I have the honour to report that I have, in conjunction with Captains Harris and Baker, the nautical assessors of your lordships' board, held an inquiry into the casualty which occurred to the steamship Africa, off Cape Race, on the 12th of October last. The Africa is a paddlewheel steamer, built of wood, at Greenock, in 1850, of 2,226 gross and 1,216 registered tonnage, and was under the command of Mr, James Stone, who held a certificate of competency as master, dated January 7, 1851. She had a crew of 130 hands, all told, and was in every respect thoroughly equipped, The Africa left Liverpool Oct. 3, carrying the mails, 120 cabin passengers, and a general cargo, bound for Halifax and New York. After touching at Queenstown on the following day, she sailed again at 3 38 p.m. ; made the Fastnet at 10 20 p.m., and thence took her departure on her voyage to America. Observa tions for latitude and longitude were obtained daily frow the sth to the 11th inclusive, and up to that date nothing occurred which calls for comment. At noon on the 12th a good observation was obtained for latitude, which placed them in 47 11 N. ; but as no sights had been obtained for the chronometers, the longitude was caloulated to be 50 21 W., and Cape Race was estimated to bear S. 73 2G W. true, distant 112 miles. The weather at noon is represented in the log-book to have been strong from S.S. W. At 6 p.m. increasing winds and stormy weather, sea rising, and tail was shortened. At 7 3) p.m. wind shifted to W., and all sail was taken in. At 8 p.m. moderating breezes and thick foggy weather, with rain. From noon to 6 p.m. the course steered was W. by N. 1 N., and the speed of the vessel wee 121 knots an hour. At 6 p.m. the course was altered to W. N., and so continued at a speed of 11 knots an hour, until she struck about 9 50 p.m., somewhere, probably, in the vicinity of the extreme point of Cape Race ; but the exact position was never ascertained. Immediately before striking, the master, who was on deck, states that he saw a whitish line on the edge of the water on the starboard bow which he knew could not at that season be ice, and instantly gave orders to put his helm hard a-starboard. Almost simultaneously the first mate gave a similar order, having seen the same object, which was also at the same time reported by the Took-out men. The vessel played off under her starboard helm two or three points, when she took the ground. The engines were then stopped, and it would appear from the evidence that she re mained there for about 20 minutes, during which time her head payed off to port. Shortly after striking the water was discovered to have filled the fore peak, and also to have found its way into the engine -room. The engines were moved slowly a-head, which had the effect of casting her head more to seaward, and the captain having discovered that the channel ahead appeared free from danger, gave orders to go on at full speed, which was done, and the ves sel went off apparently into deep water ; but neither previ ously nor subsequently to the accident was the load used. After consultation with the chief engineer, the captain de termined to run for St. John's, Newfoundland, the then nearest port. In proceeding thither the vessel became almost unmanageable from the injured state of the rudder and the quantity of water in the forehold ; but the master succeeded, notwithstanding the stormy state of the weather, in getting her into St. John's on the 13th, about two p.m. and beached her in the harbour. After some repairs were erected by means of divers, and the construction of a tank in the fore part of the ship, she sailed from St. John's on the 27th Oct., and, after a very stormy passage across the Atlantic was brought safely into Liverpool on the 3d of Nov. inst. I should here mention that the captain, who, at the request of his legal adviser, was sworn to give evi dence, does not agree with the mate's entries in the log book as to the state of the weather on the evening of the accident. The terms he used to describe the weather were ' dark and hazy,' not foggy, a little rain occasionally, some times clearing up ; and the mate, in his evidence, dis claims any intention of implying by the entry in the log that the weather was what would be called dense fog.' But the united testimony of the witnesses certainly goes to prove that the night was very dark and thick, with drizzling rain ; and in confirmation of this fact, several of them give it as their opinion that a ship's light might have been seen at a distance of from one to t wo m il es, In my opinion the s t ron gest indication of the dark and thick state of the weather is the circumstance that the danger was scarcely seen before the ship struck. I cannot dismiss the question of discrepancy between the entries in the log-book and the evidence of the witnesses without a word of comment on the statement made by the master, that he was not in the habit of examining the log-book--a duty which, I am informed by the assessors, he ought to consider as incumbent on him, both for his own protection and for the benefit of his owners, in case of accident or loss, It is with regret that I am corn• pelled to pronounce the master in default. By a re f erence t o the chart, and from his ow n 'ttidence, th e courses steere d would have taken him within six or seven miles of Cape Race, assuming that he had no lateral current, as the compasses appear to have been perfectly correct, The course, in the estimation of my assessors, is too fine in such weather, and in a vicinity so notoriously dangerous. I am opinion that a cast of the lead should have been taken about nine p.m., when the computed distance from noon had been run. This precaution would have shown th e capta i n t h at ho was not justified in assuming his position t o b e suc h as he too confidently concluded, and that instead of being, as he supposed, 16 miles to the southward of the Cape, he was in reality close upon the land. The neglect to use the lead under such circumstances, and the n av i gation of his vessel at full speed off this coast in thick weather, undoubtedly caused this accident; and after the repeated warnings which commanders of vessels on the North American sta tions have received in reference to both these points, I am bound to visit him with severe censure. I confess that it is painful to me to do so in this, as in every other case, when the commander is a man of great experience ; and Captain Stone appears to have hitherto navigated his ships in safety for 115 voyages across the Atlantic. The result proves that such a man even may get into difficulties with all his experience, and shows the necessity which is laid upon all commanders to use every precaution in their power. A n d w h y t h ese pre cautions should be invariably used in the Royal Navy, and the neglect of them visited with most severe penalties, while in the merchant service they are so frequently omitted, I am at a loss to understand. In the sentence which the court has deemed it to be their painful duty to pass on Captain Stone, every consideration has been given to his long and hitherto successful career, and the court has borne in mind his subsequent and laii.dable_.l.s ex ertions in bringing home safely his disabled si 2l l ). case differs ftom others of a recent date, in the feet thatae I there has b een n o loss of life or of the ship, and have therefore felt justified in passing a lighter sentence. But I have, with the lull concumince of the nautical assess sore, suspended the certificate of Mr. James Stone for six calendar months from this date.—l have, &c., . . "T. S.

Hillyar, left Athens on the 31st ult. for Corfu, Malta, and England. She arrived at Corfu on the morning of the 4th inst., and having em barked military invalids, women, and children, loft under steam on the 6th. She arrived at Malta on the morning of the Bth, after a fine passage. The following is a list of the naval and military super numeraries, &c., on board—Eight seamen, pen sioned ; 12 ditto, dismissed the service as objection able characters; one man under sentence of court martial ; 25 naval invalids ; 63 seamen for disposal in England ; 3 ditto for Malta Hospital ; 10 dis tressed British seamen, crew of the late British bark Star of the North ; 3 military officers, 93 sol diers, 14 women, and 23 children. The Star of the North, John Watson, master, 370 tons, belonging to Charles Alcock and Co., London, laden with Indian corn, from Kustendji for Cork or Falmouth, was wrecked on Oct. 13 last at Mandilli, during the night, the master having mistaken one light for another. The ship went to pieces the following day. Her Majesty's ship Trident brought the crew to the Pirreus, and they are to proceed home in the Queen. There were at Corfu her Majesty's ship Liffey, 35, screw frigate, Capt. G. Parker, and the Firefly, surveying ship, Commvider A. Mansell. The Wan derer, 4, gunvessel, Commander M. C. Seymour, and the Surprise gunves3el, Commander W. H. Whyte, were on the west coast of Greece. It was reported that the Liffey was about to be sent to the coast of Syria. Her Majesty's despatch vessel Psyche, 2, Lieut.-Commander R. Sterne, left Malta on the Bth inst. with despatches for the Commander in-Chief at the Pincus. The Queen is under orders to leave for England on Wednesday or Thursday to be paid off, _ _ . On Sunday night a telegram from: the Prussian Government was received at Plymouth, ordering the immediate return to I)antsic of the Prussian ships of war, Niobe, 24, Captain Kuper ; Musquito, 12, Captain HassensZein ; and Rover, 10, Captain Warpfan. The Rover arrived in the Sound on the 21st Oct.; the two others on the 24th. The three ships were then bound to Madeira, the West Indies, and New York, for the exercise of their crews, among whom there are mark- cadets, and would have left as usual in a few days but for the course of political events in the North of Europe. They will probably leave the Sound at noon today. The Warrior, 40, iron frigate, Uapt. Artnur A. Cochrane, C. 8., in the Warrior dock at Portsmouth, has, according to established custom, had her hull below the water-line and the compositions and ex perimental sheathings with which it is coated exa mined and reported upon to the Admiralty by the officials of the dockyard. It is four and a half months since the Warrior was in dock. She was then coated below the water-line with the preser vative and anti-fouling compositions prepared by the Admiralty's Chemical Assistant, and at the same time had three patches of" Brown's vitreous sheathing" attached to her port side. The ship's bottom, as she now lies in dock, has the appearance of a well-made thrummed-mat, being covered with a fine crop of tuft weed, which must hace grown at the rate of about three-quarters of an inch per month since the ship has been afloat to reach its present condition. The vitreous sheathing had less of this weed upon it than the compositions, and they have adhered to the ship's bottom with two exceptions. It is impossible, however, to say how far these small plates (which are about 12 or 14in. in length and about 4in. in width, and are attached to the ship's bottom by a hot cement) have pro tected the iron until they have been removed, and the surface has been laid bare and examined. The same remark will also apply to the composi tions, for there are signs of corrosion, over the lines of rivet heads at the ship's b o ws that require to very closely looked into. On one occasion of the Black Prince being docked at Portsmouth it was discovere,d that not only had the ati-foing composition attacked the l ow er edges theof ti ul er of armour had been bevelled off with the cold chisel and file, and the fibre of the iron thus laid bare, but that the majority of the rivet heads throughout the bottom were also attacked in a similar manner. It may be, perhaps, a matter of a great moment whe ther a ship's lower tier of armour-plates is slowly eaten into by anti-fouling compositions and pitted with innumerable holes ; but it is a matter of serious moment when the rivets of a ship's bottom plates are being thus gradually and surely destroyed, that is, so far as their holding powers are concerned, and this is precisely what remains to be ascertained in the case of the Warrior. Nothing certain, however, can be stated on t he sub j ect until the compositions h av e been scraped off , and an opportunity a fforded for a full examinationo e f r t e aherse xhepissting i tthus afforded bottom p l a tes and their fastenings.

Many improvement s hav been made since the ship last lay in dock at Portsmouth, but the one possessing the greatest novelty is the introduction of " ozone gas" into the engine -room and screw alley.

There it gives out a beautiful white light, with comparatively no heat. An apparatus for the supply of a dozen burners may be carried under the arm.

We are ignorant of the secret that Mr. John Frail pos sesses in being able to tempt from their homes and firesides at this season of the year the concourse of people who have filled the hotels and lodgings of Shrewsbury, and given such universal vitality to the quiet old town. Beds are at a pre mium, and upwards of 200 horses have already arrived. This is sufficient comment on the prospects of the Novem ber meeting of '63, without further remarks from us. The 'Queen's Guineas proved an easy victory to Blithfield, Bally Edmond bolting soon after the start and losing con siderable grounds in consequence, thereby depriving him of any chance he possessed. The Newport Gold Cup only brought three to the post, a falling off from last year, which saw a much larger field for this race. The favourite, Gemma, won without being extended, scoring an addition to the many successes that have lately fallen to Lord Stamford. The Carnival Nursery was an easy performance for the favourite, Caroline, who waited on her horses to the straight, and, coming away with a clear lead, won by a length and a half. Bittern, who was leading at the com mencement of the race, swerved at the rails, and fell with his rider, Loates, without, however, injaringhirn. The Foregate Stakes were another victory for Lord Stamford, and Mr. Payne's colours were also for a second time borne in the van by Overture, in the Abbey Handicap. The hurdle race wound up an excellent day's sport with a good race between the three placed, the favourite, Serious Case, win ning rather easily at the finish.

Blithfield at the same time came to the front, and half-way up obtained a clear lead, which he retained to the end, and won in a canter by ten lengths. Laertes was pulled up, and did not pass the post.

In consequence of Avongrove, Disdain, and Jessie break ing away several times the start was delayed some time. When they were despatched Rowena took a decided lead, followed by Disdain, Jessie, Miss Emma, and Foreteller, Antidote acting as whipper in. The race in these positions was retained for a quarter of a mile, when the favourite took the second place, and upon Rowena running out of the course at the commencement of the rails she came on with the command, closely followed by Douche, Disdain, Fore teller, and Highland Mary to the enclosure, when Disdain dropped back, and the two young ones took second and third places, and ran in close company to the stand, where Highland Mary attempted to get through, but failed, she then finishing a fine race home, Foreteller winning on the post by a head, a similar distance separating the second and third ; Disdain was fourth, Zingari fifth, and Douche next. The winner was sold to Mr T. Mason for 65 guineas. Mr Payne claimed Miss Emma. The Carnival Nursery Handicap of 10 soya each, 5 ft, with 150 added. The second to save his stake. Winners extra.
