Its object is the purchase of a large Interest in the cele brated lead mines of Monteponi, in the Mond of Sardinia, together with the extensive lead smelting establishment of Pertusola and the Sarzanello Coal Mine in the Gulf of Spezz. The purchase-money for these properties (including eleven twelfths of the Monteponi Mine), plant, engines, &c , is £150,000, and it is estimated that £50,000 will be required as floating capital, so that in fixing the nominal capi al at £550,000, a margin of £50.001 is lett to enable the Company to take advantacre of such opportunities as may present them selves of extending their interest in Italian mines. This undertaking differs essentially in its nature from ordi nary mining enterprises. Its cardtal being invested in the purchase (4 mines and works, which are in full operation, and yielding very large returns. Full prospectuses with forms of application for shares may be had at the offices of the Comp ny No. 6, Queen-street place, Lond on , or of the Brokers of 'the Company, Messrs. Joshua Hutchinson and Son. No apprcation will be con sidered unless a deposit of £1 for each share applied for shall have been previously made with the Bankers of the Com pany. This sum will be returned in full in the event of io allotment bein 4 made. A SECOND EDITION IS NOW READY OF tions had already been secured. The directors had confi • dence in the success of the undertaking, and no efforts on heir Dart would be spared to secure it. _ . Government to abstain from doing so. Accordingly the taxes are not collected. It is impossible to proceed to execution, for the process-servers and others would not be safe unless accompanied by troops, and the troops have work of their own to do. In case of property being really seized and confiscated there are no bidders for it when it is put up for sale, and there arc many villages near which insurgents are hovering about, where it would take at least 500 men to carry off a pig or a cow. Only the other day three Jews entered into a contract for the purchase of some property which had fallen into the hands of the Russians. They were warned on the part of the Polish National Government not to buy it, and abandoned their bargain, although they had already paid up a por tion of the purchase-money. One only of the three was ingenious enough to get back his deposit, which he lad left in the form of bills of exchange. reason. Otherwise the objectionable letter from Olmotz might have passed almost without notice. The latest military movements in the Kingdom are of no new character, except that the interior is now their principal scene, the frontier being every where so well guarded that to cross into the King dom either from Posen or from Gilicia would at the present moment be very hazardous indeed. Chachowski, in Sandomir, comes down every now and then from the Mountains of St. Cross, routs a party of Russians, and goes back again. Other chiefs are victorious from tim.o to time, but Cha chowski is never beaten. He is in a good position, no doubt, but he seems also to understand the prin• ciplee of partisan warfare better than the great mejority of the Polish leaders, and to be resolved to keep to these principles under all circumstances. Chachowski has now for some time past commanded about 1,500 men, but he has never yet yielded to the temptation of fighting a great battle. On the other hard, he harassed the Russians perpetually, cuts off their supplies, never loses more than a very few men in any one engagement, and, finally, has kept his ground without intermission for two months. Chachowski retired to the mountains of St. Cross after Langiewicz's last battle (Grochow iska), and has been there ever since. A court-martial was held on board the flagship Victory, at Portsmouth, yesterday, for the trial of James Holmes, gunner, Royal Marino Artillery, doing duty on board her Majesty's ship Black Prince, for disobedience of orders of Commander Rich, his superior officer. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to be reduced to :second class for conduct, to receive 48 lashes, and to be imprisoned for three months in Lewes Gaol. The ships of war on the Awitralittn station at the date of the last advices were—The Fawn, 17, Ctpt. Ca ter, at Hobart-town ; the H.trrier, 17, Capt.

From the Times.—" ' Lost and Saved' will be read with eager interest by those who love a touching story. It is a vigorous novel. The author has trusted to her knowledge of society to describe three or four leading types which, if they are not actually portraits, are at least very intimate studies. AV.!, independently of this, in the wrongs and sorrowi of her heroine, she has conceived a case which enlists our gentler sympathies, and gives scope to her powers of paint ing the tenderer emotions." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said works had been commenced, and in four or five weeks he hoped men would be engaged on the whole length of the line. The report was adopted, and Mr. Cliffe and Mr. Wynn, the retiring directors, were re-elected. _ Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

It appears that the directors of this company have been informed by their financial agent in Canada that the loss on through traffic collected and converted up to the 9th of May amounted to 202,088 dole, 79c., and that there re mained a further sum of American funds for conversion at that date of 53,509 dols. 87c.

Laski to the direc torship of the Bank, and we shall now see how far its veto will prevail against the direct nomi nation of the Government of Russia. The Polish Goverment recommends M. Laski not to venture into public life at all, and in the meanwhile declares him quite unfitted, from want of intelligence and want of patriotism, for the post of director of the Bank, and orders him not to accept it. Among other offences it appears that M. Laski executed contracts for the Russian Government during the Crimean war. The National Government is also dissatisfied with a contract entered into about a month ago between the Government of Russia and some well-known English contractors for the execution of certain pub lic works in the City of Warsaw, and declares it null and void in a decree of which the following is a translation : T OTTENHAM AND HAMPSTEAD JUNCTION.

This ompany is formed for p urc h as i ng, on advanta geous blic te C rms, the magn i ficent Music H a ll, we l l known to London, the te e s the R oyal Alhamb ra P a l ace, Leiceeter-squares The present proprietor, wishing to relieve himself of the great anxiety and responsibility consequent on the sole management of so large an establishment, has consented to part with his entire interest in the property to this Com pany, taking a large Proportion of the purchase-money in shares. He will in future divide the management with an Executive Committee; thus there can be little doubt of in creasing even the present success of the institution. It is intended to engage permanently, for the Evening C oncerts, a complete and efficient Orchestra and a nume rous Chortur and to engage nightly eminent Vocal and I nstrumental Solo Perfo7rners, and by constantly varying the entertainment, a l ways to renew i ts attraction. It is it tended also, b es id es pro d uc i ng the most admired works all schools of music, to invite the most popular composers of the day to writ e ex p ress l y f or t h e Alhambra Concerts pieces which will be specially adapted to the resources of the Hall and the taste of the visitors. The nightly Con certs at the Alhambra will, in some degree, resemble those at the public gardens of Berlin and Vienna, where the great masterpiece s in music are executed to such perfection as can only be attained by the constant playing together of the same artists • they will p resent opportunity for the training of a band chorus to such a degree of excellence in ensemble peformance, as is all but incompatible with the occasional union of singers and players, even of the highest individual qualificati ons; they may thus be the means of advancing musical art, whilst promoting the national taste for music, in the manner begun at the Promenade Concerts, and continued at the Monday Popular Concerts, The nightly entertainments will be divided into two parts —the first part will consist of the concerts described above, which will comprise high-class music only, and will termi nate at an early hour. The second part will include verious popular sources of amusement. Mr. G. A. Macfarren of the Royal A ca d emy of Music (one of t h e directors), has undertaken to write periodically for the Alhambra Concerts. An engagement is pending with Crystal P a l ace, to be conductor of ha orchestral concerts. he It is intended to open the hall every day as an exhibition of pictures by living artists, at a moderate charge of admis sion, which will be a great boon to many, who will thus have an opportunity of displaying and selling meritorious produetions which now remain unknown to the public. A commission on all sales effected will be charged. On special occasions the Hall may be used or let during the daytime, which has never yet been attempted. The extensive cellarage belonging to the Hall can be let for a considerable sum per annum. It is intended to improve the acoustic properties of the Il an, and to introduce alterations which will greatly con tribute to the comfort of the visitors whilst adding to the sources of profit, such as greater diffusion of light at less expense, the constructien of private boxes, re -arrangement of the body of the hall and stalls (some of which wilt be set apart for ladies only), with indications of occupancy of seats, and fitting up two commodious and well-appointed supper-rooms (a want much felt at the establishment at present), &c. There is no position in the metropolis more central, or better adapted for the purposes contemplated. The Royal Alhambra Palace is only four or five minutes walk from the Charing-cross Railway, to be opened early in July, which will give facilities to visitors. It is near many hotels in the neighbourhood of Trafalgar. square and the Strand, and the projected Charing-cross, Adelphi, and Strand Hotels will no doubt furnish a large audience. The hall is capable of holding upwards of 6,000 persons. The price to be paid for the lease of 51 years of the Hall, the houses, and the entire buildings belonging thereto, goodwill, furniture, fittings, stage properties, stock of plate, glass, china, cutlery, and en ti re contents, is £35,000 in cash and £lO,OOO in fully paid up shares of the Company, which is considered a very advantageous purchase. Each registered owner of 30 shares and upwards will be supplied by the directors with a tree pass ticket, with name and address thereon, to admit such shareholder to any part of the Hall when opened, excepting private boxes and parts specially appropriated to the performers. In future issues of sharers preference will be given to original shareholders. As the business is formed already, there would be an im medi essiate onincome the d a y a f ter the Company entered into oss. The Directors confidently appeal to the public for the remaining capital required. Prospectuses, with Application Forms for Shares, may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, of the Brokers, Solicitors, or Architect, and at the Royal Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square, London. The enormous profits of well-conducted kindred establish ments are pretty generally known to the public, and the Eirectors have much pleasure in submitting the following statement for intending shareholders.

The general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Tokenhouse-yard—Major Kitsonin the chair. Mr. H. B. R, Barker, the secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed. The report stated that, notwithstanding the exceptional state of affairs which had prevailed on the American conti nent, and the heavy losses incurred by the depreciation of the American currency, a sum of nearly £4,000 net profit had been earned in the year 1862. The two main difficulties in the undertaking, and to which the directors desired to draw the earnest attention of the proprietors were—first, the amount of debt still owing for the construction and oiniprnent of the lino ; secondly, the want of steam vessels to carry off the produce, which was merely waiting for the co a b m u n p d l e a t n i () c ia o t o o f th f ace linei i ef . s T o e transportation rew as stl owingt be broughtto creditorsin a sum (including interest not hitherto computed) of about £16,000, and the directors had reason to fear that any longer delay in liquidating their claims might occasion se rious detriment to the undertaking. There were now re maining about 2,100 shares unissued, representing a nomi nal capital of £43,155, and £4,100 second mortgage bonds. If upon the security of those two amoun t s £ 20,000 could be . raised, the whole of the debts might be paid off, additional power of discharging vessels provided, the line placed in a thorough state of repair, and in a condition to carry twice the amount of traffic which had ever yet passed over it, and from thenceforth the net earnings of the road might be ap propriated towards the payment of interest. The directors were assured from all quarters that the want of steam ves sels in connection with the railway was the sole reason why a much larger amount of traffic was not now forwarded by the line. The directors were of opinion that the company should become owners of four steam vessels, a course which was strongly recommended by Mr. Bidder in his report in 1858. This would entail a further outlay upon the company of about £30,000, making, to gether added to with E 15,00 £20,000 already for debts borrowedand repairs, upon first ,o, and second aec which, ond mortgage bonds, would make a charge upon the company 0 of £200,000, bearing interest. From a statement of the general manager it appeared that, with steamers of their own, the net profits for 1862 would have been at least £24,000, being at the rate of 6 per cent. upon £400,000. The directors believed that by a judicious outlay on steam vessels and the liquidation of debts the line might be placed by the commencement of the navigation season in 1864 in such a state as would insure a good return to all who had embarked in the undertaking. The construction account showed that £325,715 had been expended. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed his regret that they had not a more prosperous state of things to submit. The traffic receipts for the year 1862 amounted to about £20,000, and for 1860 to £12,431, showing an increase of about £8,600. The expenditure amounted in 1862 to £16,085, and in 1860 to £10,535, showing an increase of £5,550. With an increase of re ceipts the percentage of working expenses would become less. He then explained the great disadvantage to the company of not having steamers to convey the traffic away from the terminus of the line on the lower lake as rapidly as it was brought over the railway from the upper lake. 62,000,000 bushels of grain were shipped from Chicago in 1862, but for the want of steam vessels or propellers the Welland Company was unable to take more than 4,500,000 bushels last year, which, however, contrasted favourably with 3,000,000 bushels conveyed over it in 1860. They could now carry over the railway double the quantity of grain they had ever carried before if they only had vessels enough to convey it to its destination with safety, rapidity, and punctuality. The want of steamers on the lower lakes was the great drawback to the traffic of the railway. In order to obtain the requisite capital the directors proposed to ask the first and second bondholders to allow the issue of a preferential stock of £50,000, to take precedence of the first and second mortgages, which would enab:e the com pany to raise the money on favourable terms. Many of the large bondholders had already signed the document for authorising the new capital to become a first charge on the revenue of the company. The great object was to pay their debts and have the boats ready early next year. Sir S. CUNARD said he held £20,000 of the first and second bonds, and would not only sign the document, but take his share of the new stock, as he felt convineed it was the only course they could adopt to increase the traffic and make the outlay remunerative. Mr. BRASSEY said he quite agreed in that view. He held £20,000 of the bonds, and would not only sign the neces sary document authorising the new stock, but would sub scribe one •fturth of it, or a larger amount if necessary. Unless they provided propellers to work the traffic in con nection with the railway there would be nothing for either the shareholders or bondholders, but if they all worked to gether, and provided what was necessary to develops the traffic, he had every confidence in the result. The CHAIRMAN announced that they had now a large amount of new stock subscribed. Mr. BOSANQUET seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was carried unanimously. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. BRAS SEY, a formal resolution was unanimously carried authoris ing the directors to raise £50,000 as a preferential stock on the best terms they could, and to apply to the Legislature, iderto f nocessary, for p ower to make it a first charge on the un e un 'kig, The mortgage bondholders present then signed the docu ment authorising the new stock, and the proceedings ter minated. NEST RIDING AND GRIMSBY. The half -yearly meeting of this company was held yester day at 'Wakefield, Mr. R. Wynn in the chair. The reFrt stated that the contract for the works, ex cepting the Oakenshaw branch and the stations, had been let by D3nder to Messrs. Smith and Knight, and the works were to be compl3ted by the end of 1864. The purchase of the laud was being proceeded with, aild considerable por- On the 13th of May the " Central Committee of Warsaw, acting as the Provisional Government for Poland," instead of surrendering its power and call ing upon the insurgents to lay down their arms, and profit while there was yet time by the Imperial am nesty, adopted formally the style and title of the " Polish National Government." It has been gene rally known by that name for some weeks past, and may be said to have accepted rather than to have assumed it. All the mandates, all the passports, all the receipts issued by the ruling body at Warsaw bear the stamp of a government which really governs, and which, enjoying as it does the confi dence of the nation, has a right to employ the national insignia. Those who have not had the op portunity of witnessing the action of this Govern ment in the country itself can scarcely have a notion of the exactness with which it is obeyed, or of the wide range over which its functions extend. I do not know whether it has virtually the direction of the railway and telegraph lines, but its letters are punctually delivered, and its orders have more than once been known at Cracow only a few hours after publication in the capital. This secret Govern ment is represented by no less than six secret jour nals, all secretly printed and almost publicly distri buted in Warsaw, and from Warsaw transmitted to every part of the ancient republic. The Movement (Ruch) is the national official organ, and the edicts and laws which it publishes are binding upon the whole country. The Truth, Progress, &c., are either semi-official publications to which the orders of the Government are from time to time " communicated," or independent prints sup porting the Government, and containing news of the insurrection and of the general position of the Polish question at home and abroad. In the meanwhile the Polish journals recognised by the Rusiian authorities at Warsaw occupy themselves exclusively with foreign intelligence, and, with the exception of the official aion of the rvlssian Go vernment, avoid all mention of Polish affairs. In deed, the very name of Poland would seem to be studiously avoided ; and in the Gazette Polska of the 11th inst., I find a publication concerning that country spoken of as " a work devoted to a portion of central Europe particularly interesting to our readers." The National Government also issues proclama tions which are posted on the walls of Warsaw at night, and remain there until they are torn off the next morning by soldiers, the ordinary police being afraid to touch them. As for its passports, th ey m ay, or m a y not, b e found necessary. A f ew d ays ago a friend o f m i ne was travelling to Warsaw, when the train was stopped by insurgents. A retired Russian officer who was among the passengers was not allowed to proceed until he exhibited a pass from the National Government. Had he not been provided with this document (which he did his best to avoid showing and only produced at the very last moment) he would have been arrested as an intending combatant on the wrong side. Poles who wish to leave their estates must now have passports, abov e a ll i f t h e y a re goi ng a b road. Those who are alre a d y a b sen t from their usual places of residence o ug h t to be able to prove their right to be away. A severe edict has been pub lished against absenteeism, and though it will i pro bably be impossible to en f orce it s general obs ervance, most persons seem to thi n k i t just as well not t o fly in the face of it, and to obt a in, if possible, a fo rma l h i whose eht h e N permission to disobey it. The Government h as agents everywhere, and there isscarcely Europe in which a Pole may not be called upon t o give an account of himself and toexplain on city what he nbowhich y cannot help ground he sets at nought the orders of a authority is acknowledged by the nation at large. I do not know whether a Pole li vin g a broad need fear the National Government ; but fearing the Government heopinionof ihisagaining every countrymen, n day a stronger hold. The National Government has not only commit tees in correspondence with it and executing its orders in all the districts and towns of anci en t Po land; it has, also, its duly appointed civil and mili tary officers, its gendarmerie and police, and its secret agents of various kinds. If a number of ex peditions are sent against the enemy on such an ill adrlty Sure to be beaten o inquire into the real cause of the disast er, and to prescribe means c i n o m b detail,i n e d a p n l a agent that ent i a t they p a a r t e c nearly e e for preventing their re curre nce. If, by mistake, a proprietor has receive d ren t from his peasants, an to point o u t t h e error he has t h o inl take back th e money. If any i ' ac ua a pn l o c dn ulated his incom e , and pa i d the re quired 10 per cent. for the expenses of the war on too small a sun+, he, also, is likely to be visited by an agent. The national police act, of course, in the districts where the insurgents have establi s h e d t h emse l ves; but marauders are not safe from thei r i n t er f erence anywhere, e the xeep Russianstintheimmediate vicinity of the towns wherehave now, f or th e mos t part, concentrated their forces. Of the pe r f or m a nc e s of the military officers—the Jac zanowsk i s, Chacow skis, and Jezioranskis, of the insurrection—nothing need here be said. The principal civil officers are the directors of the finances, and of the arms and commissariat departments for the whole of Poland, and the general governors, prefects of police, &e., in Warsaw, and a few other towns. The most remarkable thing is not that the offices I have mentioned exist, but that the men who fill them are able to perform their duties so satisfacto rily that the whole civil government of the country is now really in the hands of the Poles. The Russian Government cannot get its taxes paid. The Polish Government, as a rule, gets them paid almost be fore it asks for them. One letter of remonstrance from the Polish Government suffices to bring a tardy, and, perhaps, really needy ratepayer to book. The Russian Government, on the other hand, threaten as it may, cannot get its money in at all. Its officials in th 3 kingd om, Poles almost to a Ma n, rece ive on the same day order s f rom the Russian Polish Government to collect the tax es , an d from the "Art. 1. The contract relating to waterworks for the city of Warsaw, concluded on the 20th of April of the present year between the President of the city of Warsaw and the foreign contractors, Sir Samuel Morton Peto, member of Parliament, Ed ward Ladd Betts, and the house of John Aird and Co., is hereby broken, and must be regarded as null and void. " Art. 2. We entrust the carrying out of this de cree to the civil and military authorites." I do not suppose it is from any contempt of water (of which a regular supply is much needed in many of the houses of Warsaw), that the above edict is issued. Nevertheless, the moderate tax at present levied by way of water rate is generally looked upon as a very tyrannical impost, probably for no other reason than because it goes towards the maintenance of public works established by the Russians. The contract entered into between Sir Samuel Morton Peto and the President of the city of Warsaw may be objected to, however, first on legal grounds, because it has not received the sanction of the Municipal Council; and secondly, on personal grounds, because the President of the city is Count Sigismund Wielopolski. In any case the contrac tors may rest satisfied that they will not be able to execute the works. MAY 22. The dead are coming to life again. Frankowski, entombed long ago by the daily journals, and en graved in the weekly illustrated ones as a murdered man, walked out of Warsaw citadel the other day in the disguise of a Russian soldier. As the report was immediately afterwards spread that Lewan dowski, and not Frankowski, had escaped, it is quite possible that no search may have been instituted for the latter until it was already too late to look for him. The Krakaner Zeitung declares, now for the second time, that Cieszkowski, fired upon by the Russians as he lay wounded in his bed, and pierced through and through with a dozen balls, is never theless alive. Count Zsluski, supposed to have been mortally wounded near Olkusz, is not only alive, but is recovering. The request of his sister, the Countess Zelinska, that he might be delivered up to his friends was ultimately not disregarded, for he is at this moment in Count Potocki's hospital at Krzeszowice. In reply to the statement that when Prince Schachowsky telegraphed to Warsaw for permission to surrender the wounded man the an swer came back in these words,—" Zaluski's body not to be given up,"—the Russo-German papers now observe that in the first place he was given up; and, in the second, that the Countess Zelinska asked for her brother in w hat appears to them to have been an unbecoming tone. Thus when she reached the outposts before the camp at Olkusz, and was requested to describe the prisoner for whom she was inquiring, her response is said to have been, " He hasieight bayonet wounds, two of which are of a frightful character; and no wonder when he fell into the hands of such savages as you." Not only is all attention directed just now towards Volhynia and Podolia, but all the prin cipal bands formed in Galicia and in the south of the Kingdom are said to be under orders for those prov i nce s. Contradictory accounts are received from Brody, the frontier town between Galicia and Volbynia, and all that can be said for certain about the insurrection is that it exists, and that the peasants have not yet risen against the insurgents. Russian telegrams, while denying that tranquillity has been in any way distured in Volhynia and Po dolia, say, n evertheless that a few malcontented re volationists have been seized by the country people and delivered over to the authorities. Whether the peasantry can be employed generally iu this manner against the proprietors remains to be seen. I do not think the proprietors themselves are by any means convinced that such an arrangement would be im possible, but the attitude of the peasants in Lithu ania has been infinitely better than had ever been anticipated ; and who knows that the same will not be the case in the Ruthenian country ? Still, con sidering that the peasants in the kingdom of Poland, who speak the same language and profess the same religion as their proprietors, are, on the whole, op posed to them, and not above selling them to the enemy on very moderate terms, it is difficult to be lieve that in Volbynia, Podolia, and the Ukraine, where the peasants belong to a religion which the proprietors hate and despise, and speak a language which, however much it may resemble Polish, is not Polish nevertheless, it is difficult to believe that in these provinces the peasant, influenced by priests who call themselves " orthodox," but whom the insur gents term "schismatic," and under the guidance of Russian functionaries, will not show himself some thing more than indifferent to the Polish movement. Nevertheless, there is just a chance that the peasant may remain neutral. He may consider that his interests are not at stake one way or the other ; but he will certainly not fight for the Poles, and it is to be feared that he may be induced to attack them, if not with any political motive, at least for the sake of plunder. The land which these Ruthe nian peasants cultivated as serfs until the edict of emancipation came into force has now been given to them in freehold by the national Government ; bon it may be doubted whether this present, made t o . n the very day of battle , w ill have much effeclittre gaining their support. If we could on Y a l get n a d the aut h e ntic news from Volbynia, Podoliain. Ukraine these speculations would behcoratr the t b h u e t . : as it is, it is impossible to f or get t _nians openly opp ose the Poles in Galicia, where t er he e y b e l ong nominally to the same Church i , and, th fore, difficult to believe that they will unite with them in the contiguous provinces, whole they have for the most part belonged to a Church which the Poles detest above all others, ever since the end of the last century. The Czas was seized this morning on account of a letter from Olmutz, which is said to give a very true account of the hard position of the Polish pri soners confined in the fortress. The edition had been partly distributed when the police resolved to prevent its further circulation. The consequence of this step will be that all the newspapers in Europe will hear of the Czas being seized, and for what A correspondent, writing from Valetta, May 22, says—Vice-Admiral Robert Smart, K.H., has now assumed the command of the Mediterranean squad ron, in place of Vice-Admiral Sir W. F. Martin, K C. 8.; the latter, with his retinue and family, embarked on Friday evening last in her Majesty's paddle frigate Magicienne, 16, Captain W. Army tage, and left at 10 o'clock the same night for Mar seilles, by way of Sicily and Italy. Major-Gen. Wood, who has been suffering from ill health, and Mrs. Wood also took passage by the Magicieene,with the intention of returning in her from Marseilles. The Governor (Sir Gaspard Le Merchant) and all the principal civil, naval, and military officers, went on board to take leave of Admiral Martin. On the return of the Magicienne from Marseilles about the end of the month, with Rear-Admiral IL R. Yelverton,C.B., this officer will transfer his flag from her to the Re venge, 73. It is understood that Capt. Fellows, now commanding the Revenge will then take the com mand of the Marlborough, 131 (flagship of the Com mander-in-Chief), in the place of Captain W. H. Stewart, C. 8., who goes home, and that Capt. the Hon. F. A Foley, lately in command of the Edgar, will re turn to the Mediterranean, as flag-capt. to Rear- Admiral Yelverton, whose flag-lieut., Lieut de Ro beck, and retinue, were to leave Southampton by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer of the 20th inst. On the arrival of Admiral Yelverton, the Commander-in-Chief will proceed on a cruise, and probably visit Athens and the lonian Islands. The Governor paid a visit to the Commander-in -Chief on board the Marlborough on Saturday last. On the 20th inst. the Bishop of Malta paid a return visit to the admiral on board his flagship. There has been no instance of a visit afloat from the local head of the Roman Catholic Church since 1830. The hon ours paid to him cannot but prove satisfactory to the native population. Soon after the arrival of her Majesty's gunboat Alacrity, 4, Commander J.K. E. Baird, from Beyrout, a court of inquiry was held to investigate the circumstances of her getting ashore on Ras-Ibnhani, near Latakia, on the night of lltb Feb. last. On the report of this investigation being submitted to the then commander-in-Chief, Vice- Admiral Sir W. F. Martin, K.C.8., he passed cen sure on Commander Baird. Not satisfied with the justness of this censure, Com. Baird requested that he might be tried by court-martial. Accordingly, on the 18th inst., a court assembled on hOaree the receiving ship Hibernia (bearing the flag of Rear- Admiral H. T. Austin, C. 8.), Commander It. B. Harvey, in Malta harbour. The court was composed of Capt. the Hon. T. Baillie, commanding H.M.S. Trafalgar, president ; Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., Marlborough; Capt. G. Wodehouse, Meeanee ; and Capt. C. Fellowes, Revenge ; Mr. H. Jones, secre tary to Vice-Admiral R. Smart, K.H., Commander in-Chief, officiatingjudge-advocate. The court found that Commander Baird and Acting-Master Cava naugh were much to blame for having placed too much reliance on the dead reckoning, and for not having given closer personal supervision while pass ing the dangerous point of Ras-Ibnhani. Lieut. Lloyd was found greatly to blame for having ne glected to call the commander when a light and land were reported; for having removed the leadsman from the chains when close to land ; and for having twice left the deck during his watch. The commander and acting-master were sentenced to be severely reprimanded, and Lieut. Lloyd to be severely repri manded and dismissed his ship. Her Majesty's pad dlewheel despatch vessel Caradoc, 2, Lieut.-Com. E. Wilkinson, returned yesterday afternoon form Corfu, whither she had proceeded from Malta, to take the Lord High Commissioner, Sir H. Storks, on his usual visit to the Southern Islands. The Caradoc left her Majesty's screw frigate Liffey, 39, Capt. G. Parker, at Corfu, on the 19th inst. The Surprise, screw gunboat, 4, Commander W. H. Whyte, was at Patras on the 14th. Her Majesty's ships at the Piraeus on the 16th were the Queen, 76, Capt. C. F. Hillyar; Pelican, 17, Commander P. Brock; and the Foxhound, 4, Commander W. H. Anderson. Acts of brigandage continue to occur in different parts of Greece. One took place lately near Pentelicus, where two English officers, on leave from Corfu, were attacked by the brigands, who contemplated taking them to the mountains and demanding a ransom for them, but, finding that they were English officers, they contented them selves with robbing them of their money, watches, &c., and letting them go. Her Majesty's screw sloop Icarus, 11, Commander N. Salmon, V.C., now in Malta harbour, is under orders to leave to-mor row for the Piraeus, to relieve the Pelican, which will then return to this island. Her Majesty's screw corvette Malacca, 17, Capt. G. J. Napier, left Bey rout on the 13th inst., having been relieved by the Pbecbe, 35, Capt. T. D. A. Fortescue, from Corfu. The Malacca will call at the different islands of i the Archipelago and the Piraeus on her way to "a t e.

The works in connexion with the erection of the batteries and forts near Garrison -point at the en trance to the Medway, for the better protection of Chatham dockyard and arsenal, will now be carried on to their completion, no further delays being per mitted in the progress of the work.. the Government being desirous of having the first Ible, or outer de fences, completed before any consider able progress has been made in the Chatham dockya:d extension works. The foundations of the massive casemated fort to be placed at the extreme limit of garrison point have been laid upwards of 12 months, since which operations have been entirely suspended in order to allow the foundations to solidify and be come settled before the battery is erected. The substructure having had sufficient time to settle, the first section of the superstructure will be pro ceeded with this portion of the fort embracing the main tier of casemates, which are intended to mount guns of the very heaviest metal. The form of the fort is semi-circular, with its front facing the main channel approach to Chatham harbour. It will consist of two storeys or tiers, and will be con structed of a strength far surpassing any modern erection of that kind, so as to be able to mount the heaviest known kind of ordnance. The position of the first, or outer fort, will effectually cat off any attempt of a hostile vessel entering the Medway from the eastward, while that of the guns placed en barbette will command the entire channel by which vessels ascend the estuary of the river to Chatham harbour. In order to allow for the sinking of the foundations and the settlement of the fort, the work will be proceeded with under separate con tracts, which, although prolonging the time for the completion of the undertaking, will add materially to the strength and security of the structure. The western face of the fort will command a portion of the channel about 1,000 yards in width, through which all vessels proceeding up to Chatham have to pass; the guns from the battery on Garrison-point, i in conjunction with those mounted on the Martell° Tower on the opposite side of the channel; thus-cut ting off any hostile squadron attempting to enter the channel from the Nore. Yesterday a review' of the troops comprising the garrison of Chatham was held on the Lines by Major-General H. Eyre, commanding the district. The force on the ground consisted of the mounted field D battery of the 9th Brigade, Royal Artillery, with their 12-pounder field Armstrong guns, am munition, and ambulance wag gons; the corps of local pensioners of the Chatham district, under the command of Col. Jenkins; the three battalions of infantry of the line, including the depot companies of the Ist and 2d battalions of the 4th King's 0 wn, the Ist and 2cl battalions of the 12th Regiment, the Ist and 2d battalion of the 19th Regiment, the Ist and 2d battalions of the 20th Regiment, 31st, 35th, 43d Light Infantry, 51st King's Own Light Infant try, 52d Light Infantry, 75th, 77th, 81st, 83d, 91st, 94th, 101st (Royal Bengal Fusiliers), and the 102 d (Royal Madras Fusiliers) Regiment, and the Chat ham division of Royal Marines, upwards of 1,100 strong. The troops were formed on the ground shortly after 10 a.m., in contiguous quarter distance columns, and on Major-General Eyre arriving on the ground he 'was received with a general salute. After riding along the front and rear of the divi sions the general took up his position at the flag staff, when the entire force defiled past in open columns of companies in quick time, led by the Royal Artillery. This completed, the troops were put through the usual manceuv res incidental to a field day, all of which were executed with steadi ness and precision. After this they were dismissed to their quarters. Frightful and Fatal Accident. GREAT YARMOUTH, May 27.—An accident of a dreadful character occurred upon the South Denes, near this town, yesterday afternoon. For some past there has been a party of itinerant musicians and vocalists connected with a dancing saloon at Half Moon public house, Market -place' and in consequence of the Whitsun holidays, two of these, namely Charles Marsh and Henry Wharton, pro ceeded to the Monument -house tavern, South Denes, where a large number of holiday folk had assem bled for the purpose of enjoying theseaview and witnessing the practice of the N ia or e f N ol e k i Artillery Militia with the heavy guns at the south battery, the target being placed in the roadstead.
