The master reports that Wil liam Cook, an ordinary seaman, of Wells, while fur ling the maintop gallant sail, below . the Nore , lost his hold f rom th e v i o l en ce of the gait', fell from the yard upo n the deck, and was killed on the spot. The body ha s b een l an d e d . Willi am Denthari and four hands bel ong i ng to the smack Eagle, o. London, picked up by the schooner Unity, of Portsneouth, 10 miles S.E. of the Spurn Light, were landed on Saturday morning in a destitute condition. The Unity had her decks swept, and the smack's boat ord fishing gear were lost.

They will be forwarded to their home s b y Mr. Cole, the :honorary local a g ent of the Seip wreeked Mariners' Society. The brig Rocket, of Sunderland, was spo k en with on Friday by a local smack ; she had both her masts carried. away, and was being t owed by an Ostend smack to that port. Tho tide on Friday rose at Lowestoft an unusual height, and some damage was done to the haibour wee k s . On Saturday the wind continued fresh, and the har bour was full of vessels more or less disabled. At 1.20 p.m. a telegram was received from Admiral Fitzroy directing the south cone to be again hoisted. The intelligence which reached Shields on Satur day leaves no doubt that there has been a vary severe loss of Tyne ships during the late fearful gale. A telegraphic message reached that town on Saturday that the Scipio, of North Shields, was lost, but that her crew were saved. The survivors of the crew of the brig U. G., which was lost 011 the Trinity Sands on Thursday, arrived at Shields on Saturday night. A telegram reached Newcaotle quay on Saturday afternoon that the large seem steam collier Tom John Taylor had put into a York shire roadstead, three of her crew having been washec i overboard. The master had his leg broken. The , greatest anxiety prevails with regard to the safety of the 20 laden ships that were foolishly sent to sea on Wednesday night from the Tyne just before the terrific gale came on. Another storm warning was hoisted in Shields harbour on Saturday afternoon that a gale might be expected from the southward, and the warning had not been up half an hour when heavy squalls came away from the southward.. Saturday night was more settled. On Saturday, at Plymouth, the weather con tinued rough. At 9 p.m. it moderated. The wind was southerly. Many merchant ships, more or less damaged, had obtained shelter in the Sound. The schooner Lioness, Capt. Taylor, from Zante for Ply mouth and London, arrived on Friday ; the master and one man had been waahed overboard and. washed back again. Among other arrivals on Friday were the Norwegian brig Albion, Capt. Crawford, from Gottenburg (Falmouth last) with deals and iron for Mers el-liebir, near Oran, with loss of sails and part of deck load; the Norwegian ship gorge, Capt. L. Gjersten, from Akyabg with rice, slightly damaged ; the Prussian bark Amazon, Capt.

TUB CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA, (From the correspondent of the Times.) NEW YORK, Nov. 24. The rain we had here on Saturday extended, as I expected, to the battle-fields in Virginia and Ten nessee, and somewhat crippled the armies in their movements. Yesterday we had vague rumours of a contemplated advance by General Meade, and cooked rations for ten days had actually been dis tributed to his troops. The intended attack on the Rapidan had not, however, taken place up to last evening. So far as our information goes, General Lee is strongly posted en the southern hank of that 50,000 to 60,000 men. To dislodge him by main with 50,000 will be a tough job. We have more rain to-day—heavy rain, and the combatants will, in all probability, be compelled to desist from their work before it has fairly begun. Whatever may be the fate of Burnside's army at Knoxville, the General himself will soon be out of the scrape. He has either been removed, or allowed to go home on urgent private affairs, and General Foster is on his way to take his command, and has most likely by this time reached bis destination. Burnside had, before leaving, assured the people at Knoxville that he felt strong enough to hold the p l a ce. The Confederate force outside the walls numbered, it is reckoned, 36,000 men. The sea wall at Sumter is entirely destroyed, but the Con federates are, under the very fire of their enemy's batteries, constructing new bombproof defences. Some of the besiegers' Monitors have come to grief. The people here are exulting at the results of Gene ral Banks's expedition to Texas, by which they think that the designs of the French upon that vast territory have been defeated. So far the warlike news. Speculation is afoot respecting the probable contents of the President's forthcoming Message, although Washington letters assure us that up to the end of last week that worthy Potentate had not yet put pen to paper. Truly, there is enough in the position of American affairs to puzzle even honest old Abe, in spite of his well known readiness in his own peculiar style of naive and jocose composition. To say nothing of his per sonal aspirations and of his justifiable anxiety as to the next general election, the position he has placed himself in between the parties which contended for mastery over his councils becomes sufficiently em barrassing now that all shuffling and quibbling comes to an end, and the time draws near in which the First Magistrate is expected to speak out. It is early time as yet to calculate the chances of Mr. Lincoln's re-election. The most formidable of his riv As in his immediate entourage, Mr. Seeretary Chase, is said to be willing to withdraw from fur ther competition by accepting the place of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, now vacant by the resignation of the superannuated Hon. Roger B. Taney. The army, however, will have a word to say on the subject of the new President. Whether allowed a collective suffrage in their camp, as lately in Ohio, or sent home by thousands to the polls, as in Pennsylvania and New York, the soldiers have had the casting vote in the recent State elections, and their voice -400,000 or 500,000 strong—will not fail to make itself heard in the great contest for which parties are already preparing themselves. An army is a powerful electioneering engine, and there never yet was an instance in the United States of a civilian having a chance against a military com petitor, whenever this latter came into the lists with the halo of recent success lighting up his brow. The War-office at Washington have, indeed, in dustriously exerted themselves to clip the fea thers of any bird soaring so high as to rob the present rulers of the sun of popular favour by the shadow of its wide-spread wings, But Grant, and Buell, and Banks, and Dix, and Gill more are not as helplessly laid on the shelf as Pope, or Burnside, or Rosencranz. A conquering hero there must be, if victory is ever to smile on the Federal arms; and if any man ever came back on the shields of his million of voting followers, Mr. Lincoln must feel that even his best Joe Millers will little avail him in retaining the chair once pressed by such soldiers' idols as Andrew Jackson and Zachary Taylor. But, whatever may be the President's views as to the trial which is to come off a twelvemonth hence, he must feel that it behoves him to make up his mind from this moment, and so to weigh the relative strength and steady the drift of the different parties as to enable him to choose the one which is to recog nise him as its head. Hitherto his policy has been one of compromise. Surrounded by a Cabinet half-black, half-blue, he cat his Presidential mantle out of a cloth reflecting a variety of hues. His famous Emancipation proclamation was dictated by Abolitionist advisers. He was subsequently heard to say " that proclamation was the greatest folly he ever committed in his life." His answer to the Missouri delegation, refusing to remove ' General Schofield, was given in obedience to Conservative influence, and several rabid placemen have Nen recently removed, as guilty of no other offence than ultra-Republican principles. In spite of all this the faith of the Ab o liti on i s t s i n th e P r esident continues unshaken, and now, on the first report of Mr. Chase's honourable retirement, the hopes of the party are again centred on old Abe, and their great mouthpiece, Mr. Wendell Phillips, has proclaimed in Boston that " the man who had the heart to originate remain int he power at least Emancipation a i zyears llonger." Proclamation ger . o ught ,, to However divided the President's councillors may be, and whatever influences the Blair-Seward clique may still exercise upon the mind of a wary bat irre solute man like Mr. Lincoln, there is in my mind little doubt that the Abolition cause is carrying every thing before it out of doors. The arming of the g irretrievable step. n t e ae r o President regiments e wasf Brown a decisive, University, in Providence, on the occasion of the departure of one of these swarthy legions from Rhode Island, did not hesi tate to assert that " this war, whatever its mission was at the outset, has now no other object than the by which he meant, as e abolition of slavery ;" and Mr. F rederick Douglass, the well known coloured orator, s tood up for the c h a e us e e x o p f la " ie G ed od , anndetliebeelrytyt,'h emancipation of the ' negroes, but also their "initiation into the body politic," or, in other words, the extension of the suffrage to the whole coloured race. The continuation of the war for another year or bold, outspoken, uncom two will lead almost in fallibl y to s uch resu l t s. Abolition had a few, promising friends in the North years ago ; but it had also a vast number of timid shilly-shallying, temporizing well-wishers. Had the Southerners never fired on Fort Sumter,tor:had the Confederacy C onservatism would oafffteerredGteottycoebmeerg, N to teerrtmhe after Antietam, or even ern still have it in its p o " peculiar institution." B ut the war draws to weary e lder to befr s end the before its iron tread, l a e n n d g t t h h s e , Northerslavery e g g i i v n e s s t l' l c before that the quickest and es with the rebellion is to trample urt crush it and slavery — cause and effect—once a nd for ever. If there ever surest way utterly, t o compound aed to was a wish strongly cherished in the hearts of the Blackest Republicans, it was for an indefinite pro longation of the war. S outhern staney give them all they p yra ed for. The very heroism of the arm ies of the Rapidan and the valour and Tennessee, the the very endurance of the defenders of Sumter will, without some unforeseen intervention of Providence, end in their self-destruction. Already there is no doubt that slavery, to all intents and purposes, has ceased to be in all the Border States ; it is on its last gasl3 in the other invaded regions. The proportion of slaves to the white population in Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri was before the Arkansas, In Old Virginia, Tennessee, to six free whites war in 1860, 469,401 to 2,780,523—i.e. one slave 1 Mississip pi , and Louisiana, the lands I now already partly occupied by the Northerners, the proportion was 1,605,191 slaves to 709,914 free whiter. In North'and South Carolina, Georgie, Florida, Alabama, and Texas there were 1,875,063 slaves to 540,529 free whites—the coloured popu lation was considerably more than half the number of the white race, and in some of those States, as in South Carolina, the slaves :actually outnumbered the free whites. But since the outbreak of the war ; the slaves in those territories into which the Northerners have extended their conquests may be looked upon as virtually lost to their owners. About 600,000 of them have been emancipated—the rest have been driven by the Confederates themselves into the Southern States still defended by their arms. It, is calculated that from 1,000,000 at least, to 1,800,000 have been thus transmigrated, and by this time the black population of North and South Carolina, and especially Georgia. must far exceed, and almost double, the white. You are aware that this enormous accession of black mouths to be fed has been quoted as one of the causes of the distress for food under which the South is now described as suffering, For my own part, I confess that I doubt the distress, and incline to think that the Confederates had, and still have, it is their power to utilise their slaves, and turn them to the produc tion no less than to the consumption of breadstuffs, always supposing that they hold the reins tightly on their necks, and have nothing to apprehend from attempts at servile war. This bugbear of negro insurrection, however, has lost not a little of its former terror, and there is now no:doubt that, without a great deal of pressure from without, the black has no very earnest hankering after freedom, and, indeed, shrinks from it, and often goes back to his chains after a first stretching of his free limbs. How those millions of negro bondmen may now fare in the Carolinas or in Georgia we have no posi tive means to ascertain—but that freedmen in Federal hands are not lying on a bed of roses, we can readily assert on irrefragable Republic ea evi dence. With all the goodwill, the ample resources, and the unwearied activity of the Federal Govern ment to ameliorate the condition of the blacks in the Mississippi valley, with all the model plantations, schools, asylums, and charitable as sociations got up in their behalf, we know that thousands of those unhappy freedmen have died and are dying from destitution and disease; although hitherto the Government has had to deal with comparatively small numbers, although the whites, with the large bulk of their slaves, have been falling back before their conquerors. But can any man consider without shuddering what would be the fate of the 3,000,000 of blacks now concen trated in the last citadel of the Confederacy, were this to be suddenly broken into, and the few whites, with all their vast black flock, to be rendered incap able of either further resistance or retreat ? Such is, however, the aim the Abolition party in the North have been from the beginning, and are now more than ever driving to—the utter disorgani sation of the South, for without this they think the work of emancipation cannot be completed. The work of destruction proceeds in the meanwhile, and before it is carried on to its full extent we may feel assured that it must be as fatal to the black as to the white race, and must turn the Southern region into a charnel house and a wilderness. Will, then, Mr. Lincoln take part with the out and-out Abolitionists? Is there any alternative left for him ? It is matter of necessity for the President to pay due attention to public opinion, and as far as my own observation extends, it is impossible to deny that the Abolition party has gained immense ground since the late elections. Even in Missouri, where Mr. Lincoln so lately snubbed the rabid Ra dical faction, the public voice has given a strong utterance in support of that party. Missouri, as you know, had through its Legislature decreed the abo lition of slavery on its own territory within the period of seven years. The out and out Republicans, however, are storming for immediate emancipation, and the newly elected Legislature will obey the popular outcry. We hear of movements in the same sense in all the other Border States, wh ere slavery, indeed, had but a very feeble hold, and any resolution the constituted bodies in those States may come to will, for all practical purposes, be forestalled by the dissolution of the pre sent social system, consequent upon the exi gencies of the war, and the arbitrary measures of military rule. However unfairly and illegally the elections may have been effected in those States, the result will not the less have been to secure a Republican, if not a Radical, majority, not only in the local assemblies, but also in both Houses of Con gress. Every month, every day, the war is pro longed tolls the death knell of the peculiar institu tion of the South ; every day adds strength to the uncompromising Abolition party, and compels the Democrats and the modern Republicans to resign themselves, and acquiesce in the inevitable. Truly, the wholesale desolation of the South, the extinction of their State sovereignty, and their reduction to the condition of disenfranchised territories, agreeably to the ruthless scheme of Mr. Charles Sumner, fil all humane persons with dismay ; but the innate buoyancy of the American, his faith in the vitality of his country, soon get the better of his misgivings ; and make him jump to the flattering conclusion that " all will be right in the end." It would be worth while for the English press to keep a special correspondent here simply for the purpose of sending home daily specimens of Ameri can bragging. Here are "A few facts, moderately stated," as an article in yesterday's number of the paper most universally read in the Union is en titled : " Our discoveries and inventions in the art of war are changing the military and naval systems of all Europe. We have cannon against which fortifications are as fragile as paper, and ships which are almost impregnable to the heaviest shot. Pulsaki and Sumter are battered down off hand, and our Monitors shed shot as a duck sheds rain. No European navy is of any account in comparison with our own, and no European fortress is secure if we choose to attack it. To take Gibraltar would be child's play to the army and navy which have taken Ticksburg. Our first move in a war with England would be to anchor at Dander berg opposite to London and proclaim our ultimatum of Greek fire or unconditional surrender. We have won for ourselves the title of the Hercules of nations. We ar cleaning our own Augean stables at present, but we shall be ready for those of the other continent when our services are required. Perhaps France and England will wait to be whipped by-and-by. If so, wo will accommo date them, and have no objection to throw a few puny Powers like Spain into the bargain," &c. It may be said that the writer of such rodemon tades is only what the Italians would call a 'nano glorioso, but other papers do not write, other people do not talk in a substantially different strain. The language may be more guarded or less uncoarteous, but the notion that America is to issue from the present struggle great and mighty e nough e to d be d a_ terror to " all creation" i s both widespra an deep-rooted. It was a woman who o bserved to me that when the South was subdued a not a cannonll should be fired in Europe without our good will and pleasure." We hear d a ily complaints from the own? rs of merchant vessels that little more than one-third of the trade of this country is new carried on under the American flag ; that of 23 sailing vessels adver tised in one Boston paper, on Thursday, for foreign voyages, 16 were d es cribed as foreign ships, being chiefly British. Appeals ore made to Mr. Wellee, the Secretary for the Navy, for protection to the mercantile marine from rebel privateers. The fact is, however, that enlistment for the navy, no less than recruiting for the army, has led to great scar city of hands for all kinds of work, by sea no less than by land, and neither the United States' Navy nor the merchant marine could be manned at the present time without the greatest efforts to inveigle or kidnap foreign sailors. A part of the crew of the Italian frigates now in this port were hardly allowed to land, when they were pounced upon by the laud sharks, and smuggled away, Heaven knows where, in spite of the tffarts of their officers, of the Consul, and of the local police to track and rescue them.

Experienced masters never allow a seaman to come on shore in an American port, and even then, in spite of all the strict watchfulness and discipline, not unfrequently the vessels must be content to set back with only half their crew. NOVEMBER 24 (Afternoon). Telegrams from Cincinnati inform us that Bragg's army was yesterday withdrawing from its position at Chicamauga, and that the Federals occupied all the high ground this side of Missionary Ridge. A great battl - between Grant and Bragg was expected to take place today, There was to-day a report that Grant had obtained a great victory over Bragg ; all that was certain, however, was that the heavy rain had rendered military operations on a large scale almost impracticable. No news from Knoxville besides vague reports of the firing of cannon at rare intervals. No further intelligence as to Meade's projected advance. Evening. Particulars of the encounter at Chattanooga are this moment published, but they contain no mate rial addition to the above. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Saturday Evening. The Dublin and Kingstown Steam Packet Com pany have come to the resolution of giving an im pulse to rative manufactures, so far as they can aid that depressed branch of industry, by ordering a new iron steamer for their line from Messrs. Walpole and Webb, of this city. Shipbuilding is a trade which the spirit of combination, still che rished unfortunately by the Irish artisan, helped to drive out of Dublin ; and it is to be hoped that the/ efforts now being made to revive it, and to which the Dublin and Kingstown Steam Company afford such practical aid, will not be defeated by a mis chievous system, to combat which was amongst the most useful of the labours of O'Connell; and so tenaciously did the trades of Dublin cling to the delusion that combination, which was the bane of their well-being, was the prop and guardian of their interests, that the great agitator, at the very time that they almost adored him as something superhuman, used to require a guard of police to protect him from their fury on his way home from meetings at which he had sought to convince them of the fatal errors of their combination policy. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. VALETTA, Dec. I.—By the arrival of her Majesty's de spatch vessel Psyche, Lieut.-Commander Sterne, on Sunday last, from the Pillow, we learn that everything was quiet in Greece up to the date of her departure on the 27th ult. at 2.15 p.m., and that it had been decided that the Admiral, with the greater part of the squadron. should leave on the 2d inst. for Malta. The ships which are to leave are the Marlborough, 121 (bearing the flag of the Vise• Admiral Commander-in-Chief), Capt. C. Fellowes ; the Trafalgar, 70, Capt. T. Mason; and the St. George, 84, Capt. the Hon, F. Egerton ; and probably the Magicienne, 16, Capt. W. Armytage, or the Trident, 3, Commander C. J. Balfour. These vessels are expected here about the 9th or ] . oth inst. The Revenge, 73 (bearing he Hag of Rear-Admiral H. R. Yelverton, C. 8.), Capt, the Hon. F. A. Foley ; with the Meeanee, 60, Capt. G Wodehouse ; and the Gibraltar, 81, Capt. J. Prevost, is to remain :at the Pircus for the winter. The Gibraltar, which left Malta on the 23d ult., arrived at the Pirmus on the forenoon of the 27th. The gunboat Borer, tender to the Marlborough, has s been turned over to the Revenge. The King was to pay a visit to the Marlborough at 2 p.m. on the Ist inst. (the Princess of 'Wales's birthday), the programme for the occasion being a cold collation and general quarters. The Chanticleer, 17, Commander C. Sterling, sailed on Thursday for Kalamata and the lonian Islands, and may he looked for at Malta some time next week. The squadron had a rifle-match on the 23d and 24th ult., when everything went off well. The men of the Revenge, Marlborough, and Magicienne carried off the most prizes. That which excited most interest was a pool target, distance 200 yards, only bull's-eyes to count, the bull's eye being only seven inches in diameter. Twenty-seven bull's eyes were made, of which the com mander of the Psyche made five. The following ships of war were in the Pincus on the 27th ult.:—English--The . . Marlborough, the Revenge, the Trafalgar, the Magicienne, the Trident, and the Boxer. French—The Algesi ras, the Magicienne, and the Mouette. Austrian.—The Kirka, and a despatch vessel. Italian.—The Tancredi. Turkish.—The Broussa. At Salamis.—English—The St. George, the' Gibraltar, and the Meeanee ; also a Russian corvette, an Austrian frigate, and a Prussian steamer. Her Majesty's despatch vessel Caradoc, Lieut.-Commander E. Wilkinson, which lately arrived at Malta from Messina, for orders, left on Saturday on return to that port, to await there the arrival of Sir Henry Bulwer, and carry him back to Constantinople. The Icarus, 11, Com mander N. Salmon, V.C., was taken out of dock yesterday, having completed the repairs necessary from her having been run into by a French transport when on her way to this island from Athens, as already reported. The Phoebe, 35, Capt. A. H. Fortescue, is likely to be kept hero some time longer. Just as everything was ready for casting he: new cylinder an accident occurred to the mould, which will entail the whole or the greater part of the preliminary work being done over again. The Hydra, surveying vessel, Capt. T. A. B. Spratt, C. 8., is still away at Tripoli or its neighbour hood, on surveying service. Commander A. Mansell, com manding the Firefly, now at Corfu, has been appointed to command the Hydra, in place of Capt. Spratt, who has asked to be allowed to retire on the ground of declining health. Lieut. G. It. Wilkinson, First Lieut. of the Hydra, and lately of the Medina, succeeds Commander Mansell in the command of the Firefly, which is expected here daily. The Growler, Staff-Commander J. Stokes (tender to the Hydra), is also away on surveying duty, having been sent _ .. o examine the island said to have been thrown up on the Cherki Rocks, near Tunis. The only men-of-war in port are the Hibernia, receiving ship, bearing the flag of Rear- Admiral H. T. Austin, C. 8., Commander R. B. Harvey, the Phoebe, the Icarus, the Foxhound, and the Psyche. The Foxhound leaves to-day with a:mail for Greece. On Thursday night Mr. James Stansfeld, M.P., Junior Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Lord Clarence Edward Paget, C. 8., M.P., First Secretary, and by Mr. H. W. H. Walker, inspector and auditor of yard accounts, arrived at Pearse's Royal Hotel, Plymouth. On Friday morniag their lordships visited the Devonport dock- yard, and then proceeded to Keyham steamyard, where their attention was dir ec t e d s p ec i a lly t o the ironcased screw steamship Royal Oak, 35, Ca pt. F edk A. Campbell, the P• r • sides of which just below the water line are receiving a sheathing of Hall's vitreous plates to protect the iron casing from injury'through the galvanic action of Muntz's metal below. Lord Clarence Paget also visited the ironcased screw steamship Prince Consort, 35, which encountered the heavy storm early in November in St. George's Chan nel, and surveyed the plating of the screw steamer Ocean, 35, which duty is being performed by the artisans belong• ing to the establishment. In the afternoon they were conveyed by the steam tender Princess Alice to the iron screw steamship Black Prince, 41, Capt. F. B. Wainwright, and the iron screw steamkbin Defence, 16, Capt. Augustus Phillimore in the Sound. On Saturday morning they re newed their visit to the dockyard. In the afternoon Lord Clarence left by South Devon Railway for London. The Dauntless, Capt. J. B. Dickson, stationed in the Southampton Water, was inspected on Friday by Commo dore Ryder, the Controller-General of Coastguard. A salute of nine guns was fired on the Commodore leaving the ship. _ _ . _ The training ship Wellesley, 72, Capt. W. H Stewart, C. 8,, in Chatham dockyard, is to be removed from her pre sent moorings, opposite the Ordnance wharf, to Gillingham reach, at the entrance to the harbour, which position will offer great facilities for exercising the boys and lads on board in gunnery exercise. The want of a brig for the instruction of the lads in practical seamanship is much felt, butte inconvenience in this respect which has been for some time experienced will be obviated by the Lords of the Admi ralty directing a suitable sailing brig to be attached to the Wellesley to be used in occasional runs to the Nore and the Downs. The Diamond, 27, attached to the sailing reserve squad ron, has been surveyed by the dockyard officials, and will take the place of the Wellesley as the guardship at Chatham dockyard. The Irresistible, 68, 2,642 tons, 400-horse power, and the Goliath, 68, 2,596 tons, 400-horse power, both attached to the second division of the Steam Reserve squadron at Chatham, being required for the Coastguard service, are or dered to be brought forward for commission as soon as the work :now in hand connected with the Steam Reserve will admit. The Irresistible will be required to be com pleted by the end of April next, and the Goliath in June following. Both vessels will require to be docked for the purpose of a thorough overhaul and repair before being placed in commission. On Monday a court - martial assembled at Davenport for the trial of William Charles Miteteti, William Owens, and en, serving on board the Henry James, ordinary see Ma jestic,id- -80, screw, c° '",.,guard ship, at Liverpool, for deser tion. The pry ..oners Pleade d gu , sentenced ilty and were each to me,' - ..ive 36 lashes on board the Majestic, and then to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months in the naval prison at Lewes, The sentence of the Court, as far as the flogging is concerned, was carried out on Friday morning on board the Majestic soon after 9 o'clock, in the presence of nearly the whole ship's company. Each man received his 36 lashes without a murmur, one of them merely remarking during his punishment, "Flog fair." The crime for,which they are punished is for deserting some months ago. Seven others deserted at the same time. all of whom shipped on board ono of the American packets trading be tween Liverpool and New York. Those punished were captured on the return voyage. A large number of men have deserted recently to join American ships. Horniman's Tea is choice and strong, moderate in price, and wholesome to use.

Mr. Hughes, C.C., of Dundalk, was aroused from his meditations by his fireside a few evenings since by cries of " Murder," which brought him rapidly, and, as it happened, seasonably, to the scene of a most brutal outrage close to his dwelling. Two ruffians, named Shevlin and Keenan, had beaten a young man named Cunningham most mercilessly. They had him by the legs and shoul ders, battering him against a stone wall, over which they flung him, with the evident intention of fol lowing him, perhaps to complete their work by de priving him of life, when the approach of the priest induced them to abandon their intention, and take to their heels ; but the courageous curate was not to be baffled by the flight of the culprits. He gave chase, and, being an active, powerful man, began to gain upon the flying miscreants, which, on perceiving, brought them to a halt, resolved, irre spective of the good man's cloth and character, to preserve the liberty which they knew he designed to imperil and to evade justice ; but Father Hughes held his own against the odds opposed to him till the arrival of aid, when he succeeded in securing the criminals, who are, thanks to his intrepidity, in the hands of justice, the full benefits of which they are sure to experience. "We hope," says the Dundalk correspondent of the Irish Times, " Mr. Hughes will receive the just reward of his gallant and philanthropic capture, and from his diocesan a rich parish, where no doubt his talent, piety, and gentlemanlike demeanour would make him a general favourite. Few readers of Mr. Hughes's gallant achievement will take exception to this generous hope. The Mysterious Death at Brighton. On Saturday the adjourned inquest as to this mysterious case was resumed at the White Horse, Rottingdean, before Mr. F. H. Gill, coroner for East Sussex. The object of the adjournment was to ascertain what had become of deceased between the Bth of November, when Mr. Louis Adolphus, with whom she was connected, stated that he bid her good bye at the London -bridge station, and the 25th, when her body was found in the sea. The inspector of police had no evidence to produce on this point. Dr. Noakes said he had made a further exami nation of the body, and found no fractures or extensive marks of violence, but there were bruises occasioned by contact with the rocks, which he believed to have been occasioned after death. The body was so fresh that he did not think it had been in the water 24 hours—certainly not from the 9th to the 25th. Elizabeth Young, of 2, Queen's-road, Camden town, said deceased lodged with her three years ago, and recently one month, up to the day in question, Nov. 8. A Captain Bruce, whom she passed off as her husband, called for her in a cab, and she left the house with him, and subsequentlY, her luggage--a large packing-case, a trunk, a small boxes—was sent for. She knew Capt. Br uce when she saw him, and said she had that w o o: the seen him enter the White Horse Hotel ; said her morning of the day she left deceased s a ll exe laimed, husband was in the neighbourhood,:l3 IVitness re " He will kill me, he will kill Ene l i d she said, " identified plied, " T hen don't go with hira, e " e was must go."

Witness also said that Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Bruce Were not one and the same person, and on seeing the same photograph which the previous witness had sworn was that of Mr. Bruce, she declared the likeness was that of Mr. Adolphus, and not of Capt. Bruce. She saw deceased on the morning of the Bth instant in her usual cheerful spirits. Maria Pratt, deceased's sister, who lives at York, said that in a letter she received from deceased, dated the Bth of November, she stated that " Mr. Adolphus had taken her away from her lodgings, and she had nowhere to go to, but to stay with him." It was dated from the Great Northern Hotel. Her sister always spoke kindly of Mr. Adolphus. She had seen both Mr. Bruce and Mr. Adolphus. They were two distinct persons. Deceased always went by the name of Mrs. Bruce. Mr. Adolphus was recalled, and repeated his statement that the last he saw of deceased was ° ll the Bth of November, when she left him at Lond"" Bridge terminus for Brighton. bad ad - A letter was produced, which dece ased dressee to Mr. Adolphus on the day before, request ing him to spend the night of the 7th with the writer. This, he said, he declined to comply with, but met her next morning, spent the day with her at the Great Northern Hotel, and saw her off to Brighton in the evening. The jury ultimately returned a verdict, "That the deceased was found drowned, but there was no evidence to show how she got into the water," (!1' a th°, -(3' 01 rle ti t he lioll !!!...! c 6 0 1 0 rci 1
