Nothing has been more remarkable, in connection with the progress of Lancashire, than the rapid extension of the Steam Trade of Liverpool. In the year 1852 the tonnage of foreign steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was 188,715 tons, while is 1862 it was 595,339, which, in the year ending June, 1843, increased to 756,420 tons. In the earlier days of steam, and before the recent improve ments for the economy of fuel had been introduced, steamers could be employed with advantage only for the carrying of mails and passengers, but latterly, owing to the improve ments in marine engines, economi of fuel and space has been effected, thereby greatly reductng the working expenses, and screw steamers have not only be, n employed in alt the near trades for the conveyance of goods, with large profit to their owners, but, owing to the advantages which they afford to shippers, they have, in these trades, almost entirely displaced sailing vessels. For some years the carrying trade out of Liverpool has been gradually undergoing a change. In the American trade screw steamers have taken the place of the once celebrated New York liners, but as yet only as carriers of the highest class of fine goods and passengers. Other descriptions of goods and a large number of intermediate and steer a ge p assengers b e ng still conveyed by sailing vessels. In the important branches of the American import trade, , those of grain, flour, and provisions, the loss annually sustained by heating during the protr .cted voyages fre quently made by sailing vessels is so great, that the interest of all engaged in these trades will be enlisted in favour 'of any scheme for the extension of ste am s hippi ng t o i nclude such freight, and there can be no doubt but that th e w h ole of the enormous trade in these articles, which in Liverpool alone amounts annually to 750,000 tons, will fa'l entirely into the hands of steam comnanies. The first object of this Company is to place on the New York station a fleet of screw steamers from Liverpool and London, of large size and great capacity, which wilt be able to carry almost, if not quite, as cheap as sailing vessels, whilst at the same time, fro m the regularity of their passages, they will command a full share of the steam trade, and the Directors also intend sending steamers to the American Cotton Ports when the war is brought to an end and the trade re-opened, and have also under their consideration the wants of the Brazil and other trades. In organising this Company the Directors believe that it will not enter into undue competition with the existing lines. The Cunard Line is a subsidised company, carrying the mails and passengers with fast and expensive steamers. The Inman Line has no subsidy, but nevertheless has been most successful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having commenced its operations with two steamers, the City of Glasgow and City of Manchester. The steamships of the Inman Line are, however, of greater proportionate horse power than those projected by this Company, which will be sailed at much less cost, and will be constructed to consume a comparatively small amount of coal; at the same time of such capacity that, in addition to a large cargo of merchan dise and passengers, they wilt be able to carry sufficient fuel for their voyages both out and home, and so avoid the ex pense and delay incurred by coaling abroad. In order that the objects of this Company may not be even partially antic'pated, and that the stations may at once be occupied, provisional arrangements have been made whereby three new steamers, of the description indicated, and in all respects suitable for ihe service, have been secured, and con tracts have been entered into for the bu 'ding of others of about 3,500 tons each, and it is proposed to c.anmence with a fort nightly service each way, to be increased to weekly sailings as soon as the vessels can be got ready. The ports of depar ture shall be Liverpool for the weekly line, and London to the extent the metropolitan trade may require. The ships will be built under the inspection of Mr. John Jordan —late Chief Surveyor to the Underwriter's Registry of Iron Ships,—whose services as Inspecting Engineer and Naval Architect the Directors have secured to th s Company. The success which has attended the formation of well managed steam companies has been very marked. That of Cunard and inman Company is well known. 'I he Pacific Steam Navigation Company, whose shares,£so paid, are sell ing at £7B per share, has out f profits given to its share holders new paid-up shares exceeding the amount of the ori ginal capital, and pays a regular dividend of 10 per cent, on the increased issue, carrying over at each annual meeting an almost equal sum, while many private steamship owners, with similar descriptions of vessels, but much sm iller th an those this Ccmpa.iy intend to possess, have reaped like , results. The - Directors have, therefore, every reason to anticipate a very great success to the undertaking. They are not en tering upon an experiment, but are providing for this Com pany a similar description of vessel, but of larger size, than those which have proved so remunerative to several well known private firms engaged in the Mediterranean and other trades, and have thus the advantage of the experience so acquired, which proves that what is needed, under efficient Management, to ensure profitable results, are large ships, with moderate but sufficient horse-power and great carrying capacity. The introduction of the limited liability principle has en abled undertakings of great magnitude like the present to be carried out by joint-stock companies, which miy embrace the co-operation 01 shippers and of others interested, instead of by private capitalists as heretofore ; the result being that the supporters of this line will become interested in its suc cess, and participate in the profits which they assist to earn. Applications for shares may be addressed in the annexed form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, or at the offices of the Brokers and Solicitors, but no application will be considered unless a deposit of Ll per share on the number of shares applied for has been paid.

Out of her cargo of about 3.50 cattle, which she took on board at Tanning. scarcely more than 50 have been brought home alive. Those stowed on deck were lost overboard during the hurricane, and most of the remainder in the hold were so knocked about by the heavy rolling of the ship that they were either trampled to death or suffocated. When the steamer came alongside Brown's Wharf, at Blackwell, the scene the hold presented was truly shocking. The between decks and bot toin of the hold were crowded with dead beasts, and decom position had set in. Here and there a live bullock was slung up out of the dead mass, but the Custom •house officers pro• hibited any of the carcases from being landed, and the ship was ordered to return down the river and out to sea below the Nore that night in order to throw the dead cattle over board. The Germania left Tonning on Thursday forenoon, and on the following day encountered the storm. She had got too far on her passage to return to port, and she was still kept on her course, a tremendously heavy sea every now and then breaking over the steamer, killing or washing over board some of tt he cattle. Throughout the whole of Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday the ship was buffeted about in the North Sea, and but for her good qualities as a sea boat, more especially with such a cargo as cattle on board, she must have foundered. Sails were hoisted to keep her head to the sea, but frequently the canvas was blown away. Most providentially she had an extra stock of 50 tone of coal on board, but for which it is difficult to conjecture what might have happened to the vessel. She was enabled to keep up her steam, and so avoided being quite at the mercy of wind and waves. On the weather somewhat moderating on Tuesday she made more progress for the Thames, and eventually arrived in the river es before stated. The Magnet, another cattle steamer, which should have arrived at Black wall on Sunday, encountered the hurricane and put back to Nieue Diep, with the loss, it is reported, of 200 head of cattle. It is also stated that the ship is half full of water. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday. Between Tuesday night and this morning in this neigh bourhood a very severe gale blew from the north-westward, which veered round towards the west. During a large por tion of the night the storm raged with extreme violence, and in the course of the day intelligence was received at the Underwriters' Association Rooms, intimating that the Anion, from Liverpool to St. Thomas's, was wrecked near Carnar von, and that her crew is supposed to have been lost. The Kalos, Captain Vaughan, from Quebec, arrived yesterday morning with loss of bowsprit and other damage, occasioned by having been in collision with the Windsor, from Dublin. On Tuesday about 300 Baltic deals, several spars, and a lowermast painted white, were washed on shore at South• port. The captain of the Tamworth reports that the Prus sian bark Eliza, frem the Baltic, was off Ormshead on Fri day without a pilot. The Horizon, for Calcutta, which put back on Tuesday, had her mainmast sprung, had lost her maintopsail yard, had her sails blown away, and her crew were completely exhausted. The ship on Saturday morning struck the ground heavily twice. The J. L. Bogart, for New York, and Mistress of the Seas, for Bombay, when swinging to the tide, in the Sloyne, on Monday evening, dragged their anchors and fouled each other. The former lost her mainyard, bulwarks, &c., and the latter lost her jibboom, &c. The fiat Maple, earthenware laden, sunk off the King's pier on Tuesday. She was bound from Duke's cut to the James Foster, jun., for New York, lying in the river. Out of 101 crates on board about 89 are saved. LANCASTER, Tuesday. On Friday morning, on the arrival of the Belfast packet Selburne at Morecambe, Captain Silley reported that there was a brig ashore on the Isle of Walney, at the north end of the bay, and that a large vessel was lying in a dangerous position at the entrance to the bay. The brig proved to be a Prussian vessel, and she has since gone to pieces, the crew having succeeded in saving themselves. The other vessel reported has turned out to be the Lilliass, Capt. Bell, of St. John's, New Brunswick, which had left Liverpool on Thursday. Captain Wheeler, of the steamship Royal Con sort, had also passed her, and from his representations a steam-tug was sent to her assistance, and towed her to the usual anchorage for vessels bound from Fleetwood, about one mile west of the Wyre light. The Lilliass rode there in safety until Friday evening, when, the gale increasing, blue lights and rockets were thrown up from the vessel, and the Fleetwood lifeboat, in charge of a steatutug, put off to her assistance. On arriving alongside the crew in sisted on leaving the ship, considering it unsafe to remain there, and 26 of them, with the captain's daughter, refused to leave. The weather then became so bad that the lifeboat had to leave her and seek safety in Glasgow dock. On Saturday morning the captain and officers remaining hoisted a signal of distress, but the weather was still so violent that the lifeboat dared not go to their assistance, and about two hours afterwards the Talbot, Captain Briggs, from Belfast, sighted the distressed ship and went towards her. No boat could live in such a sea, and it was very dangerous for the Talbot to approach near the Lilliass. The captain of the Talbot, however, notwithstanding that his decks ware crowded with dead cattle, killed by the storm, and that a great portion of his bulwarks had been washed away, managed to tun his vessel athwart the bows of the Lilliass, and the men on board the latter jumped to the Talbot, and were caught by the seamen and hauled on board. Great credit is due to Capt. Briggs for the indefatigable and humane exertions ho made. The Lilliass sank soon after, and has since gone to pieces. Among the minor casualties sustained in the bay are the following :—The Northern Light, from Dandalk to Preston, with barley, drove on the Pilling Sands, and became a wreck. The crew were saved by the Fleet wood lifeboat. A fishing-boat, the Pioneer, has been sunk on the Pilling Sands. Another vessel, the Rook, bound from Ardrossan for Morecambe, with iron, sank on the Duddon Sands. The crews of both these vessels were saved. The Belfast packet the Talbot, with a heavy cargo of cattle, sus tained serious damage, and a great number of the cattle were killed. Some idea of the violence of the waves may be gathered from the fact that one of the bullocks was driven through the deck into the engine room among the machi nery. The gale was also felt severely upon land.

A screw collier and numerous vessels have arrived to-day damaged and leaky. The masts of a vessel have been seen near the Cockle lightship, the crew are supposed to be lost, The master (Nutt) and one man of the Helena of Rochester, have been received at the Sailors' Home. During the height of the gale on Monday night, when off Winterton, the Helena came into collision with the brig Arrow, of Sunderland. The master of the Helena and ono of the crew managed to scramble on board of the Arrow during the brief time the vessels were in contact, but the remainder of the crew, four in number, wore unable to do so, and they were drowned, the ship foundering soon afterwards. There are many disabled vessels in the Wold, which are unable to proceed south in consequence of a strong wind from the south-west. There is still a large fleet in the roadstead, LowEsTorr, Tuesday Evening, The screw steamship Rowland, Capt. Pad, of and from Hamburg for Hull with passengers and cattle, left Ham burg at 5 a.m. on Friday, encountered the heavy gale in crossing the Channel, and had a horse and a bullock pitched down among her machinery. The vessel, while close to the Humber on Saturday morning, made a sudden lurch, by which the captain, while putting out the lead, was pitched into the sea. Half an hour elapsed before the crew could succeed in getting a boat overboard, during which time the captain was swimming. When they got him on board at last every exertion was made by the passengers and crew to restore him, but without avail ; he shortly afterwards ex pired. The vessel put in here this afternoon with the dead body of the captain, and half her horses and bullocks were dead from the tossing of the ship during the lengthened gale. Captain Parl leaves a wife and two children in Ham burg. The steamer Admiral C at or , Captain Moor e , f rom Rotterdam, of and for Hartlepool, with a general cargo, has just put in here for refuge and to coal. The brig Lamb, Captain Oliver, of Hartlepool, from Shields for London, was assisted in by a Yarmouth tug, with loss of maintop mast, &c. The brig Ceres, Captain Dryden, of and from Hartlepool for London, with coals, put in here with loss of anchors and chains—also the schooner Alliance, Captain Burnett, from Goole, with loss of foremast, maintopmast, and considerable other damage having been in collision during the gale, Several other vessels put in here with loss of anchors t.nd other damage. SIIILLDS, Wednesday. The Annie, of Sunderland, in balla s t, and the Olive, Dundee, were towed into Hartlepool yesterday by the Esk steamtug, of Whitby, dismasted. The Tally Ho, of Shore ham, has also been towed into Hartlepool i n a similar con dition. When about 20 miles off Hartlepool on Monday night the Tally Ho fell in with the Olive dismasted and at the mercy of the waves. Mr. Youn g, m as t er of the Tally Ho, took the disabled vessel in tow, and brought her within three miles of Hartlepool, when the tow line broke. The gale was then at its height, and Mr. Young was obliged to cut away his vessel's masts to prevent her driving on the Redear rocks. Mr. Young managed to ride at anchor in Tees Bay with his disabled vessel over thenight, and so also did the Olive. The breakwater at the Tees irouth, of which the foundation stone was laid yesterday, will in the course of time, it is hoped, prove of immense importance to the shipping of the north, and afford an excellent place of shel ter for vessels in gales of wind such as that experienced on Monday.

Great Musical Attraction —lmmense success of SIGNOR NICOSIA, the eminent Violinist, who will appear Every Evening. The Accident to the Ship Sebastian Cabot. An inquiry, ordered by the Board of Trade, into the circumstances attending the accident to this ves sel, was opened before Mr. Raffles, the stipendiary magistrate, and Captains Harris and Baker, nauti cal assessors, at the Liverpool Police-court, on Tues day. The Sebastian Cabot was a fine vessel of 893 tons register, built at Workington, in 1854, and classed A lat Lloyds for 14 years. She left the East India Docks, London, on the 24th of Septem ber, for a voyage to Bombay, under the command of Mr. Joseph Hopkinson, and with a crew of 24 men and four apprentices, together with 1100 tons of general cargo. Everything went well until the 7th of October, although very severe weather was encountered. On this day the mate was lett in al most exclusive char ge o f th e s hip, a lth o ugh the starboa r d we ll c h a i n, stanchion, and the steer i ng ap paratus were broken. Th e mas t e r remained in his cabin, and wh e n t o ld o f t h e acc id en t coo lly re marked, " Well, all we can do is to put into the p w ai e n s i t o o o f Falmouth, the b nearestlport," an d did not bestir himse lf i n a man ner which th e occas i on demanded. The sh i p was about 34 miles to sea, Scilly otw a s compelled lsles, and t t h o e s t mate and tried to mak e Owing to the adverse state of the weather. The vessel sprang a leak soon after this, and signals of distress were exhibited. A vessel, called the Archipelago, took the Sebastian Cabot in tow, but did more harm than good, and her captain, it is said, endeavoured to incite the crew of the Sebastian Cabot to mutiny and desertion. Daring the 14th, 15th, and 16th, the vessel drifted towards thelrish coast, and, on the 1 7th, the mate endeavoured to land, but could not do so; and he and his boat's crew werepicked up by a Garman barque, and taken to Waterford. Ultimately the Sebastian Cabot was picked up by a Limerick steamer, and towed into port, and was finally brought to Liver pool and do ck ed by the brigs Rattler and Rescue. It is alleged that when the vessel was beating off Falmouth, the said,captain in answer to the mate's the course of the ship was to be interrogation how shaped, "We had better go to some port on the coast of Brazil. The first witness examined was the chief mate, who with other witnesses prrobo rated this statement, and the inquiry was adjourned. Messrs. Girvin and Glover, part ow ners of the shi p , have had claims amounting to £30,000 preferred apinet them for /Mime. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WORCESTER AUTUMN RACES—WEDNESDAY. The inundated portions of the course showed little im provement upon the opening day, and the competitors in the hurdle races and steeplechases hal to gallop through water rea3bing to their knees. The meeting, however, has been a highly successful one, the committee having added considerably to their "fund" by the sales of winners. Large fields, as will be observed from the following return, were the order of the day, and the majority of the events placed a balance in favour of the bookmakers. The various races produced excellent contests, the Grand National Steeplechase exciting deep interest until within a quarter of a mile from the finish, when Mr. Ten Broeck's flat racing cast-off Reporter (who made his successful debut at Lincoln a fortnight ago) came away from the heavily weighted Medora, and defeated her by 10 l eng th s .

There was no variation over the succeeding two flights of hurdles, after clearing which Madera and Socks dropped into the rear, leaving Re porter in attendance upon Worcester, Yaller Gal still third, and Freshman fourth, and in this order they repassed the stand, when Medora again took the fourth place, but was headed at the top turn by Socks. Upon entering the meadows Worcester shied at the sheet of water through which they had to gallop, and in an instsnt dropped to the rear, the running being taken up by Socks, wh o , bl un d er i ng at the second jump in the meadows, soon joined Worcester in the rear ; Medora then acted as pioneer, followed by Reporter, Yaller Gal, and Freshman in the order named, Worcester and Socks following some distance behind the first quartette. With the exception of Yaller Gal giving place to Freshman no alteration occurred with the leaders until rounding the bottom turn, where Reporter assumed the lead, but approaching the artificial brook in front of the stand, Medora again went to the front, the pair rising at the leap together; but Medora being nearly down in the jump, gave Reporter an advantage; Yaller Gal followed over the artificial brook third, Worcester, who had made up his ground, being fourth, Freshman fifth, and Socks last ; Reporter maintained the lead through the water pre ceding the entrance to the meadows, passing through which Medora again faltered and dropped into the fourth place, but recovered her former position in the meadows ; Worcester rapidly approached the leading couple in the succeeding quarter of a mile, and when close up w ith them. at the last hurdle, fell, leaving the finish with Reporter te and Medora, and the former increasin g his lead from h distance won by ten lengths ; a similar distance separ ated the second and third ; Freshman and Socks trotted to the post, and Worcester, whose jockey was not hurt, was stopped by the crowd.

THE NAVY. The paddlewheel steamer Monkey, taken up by the wheelwright department at Woolwich on the 7th of November, 1862, has been completed, and handed over to recommence harbour service, as for merly. She may now be considered a thoroughly new vessel, having only a very few of her old tim bers remaining, and is fitted with all the modern improvements, so as to render her one of the most efficient and powerful tug vessels in the service. Her paddle-boxes are placed lift. Gin. further aft than in the old vessel, which it is expected will in crease her speed at least one knot. Her draught of water is 10ft. aft and 9ft. forward, while that of the old vessel was 10ft. forward and Oft. 4in. aft. She is under orders to coal tomorrow and go down the river on the following day, on a trial of her speed and machinery. The lengthening of the building slip atWoolwieh, for the construction of Mr. Reed's experimental iron•cased corvette Pallas, has been completed, and the first portion of her keel was yesterday laid on the blocks. The work is to be pushed forward with the greatest despatch. A large number of shipwrights will be transferred for that purpose from the Caledonia on Tuesday, on her leaving the Victoria Docks for Sheerness. The Wolverene, one of the old class of wooden corvettes, launched from the slip on which the Pallas is now being built, at Woolwich, is in a for ward state, and has received the whole of her ma chinery, supplied by Messrs. Ravenhill and Co. By a special order, issuing from the Controller's Department, relative to all ships of that class, a poop and forecastle are being erected for the ac commodation of the officers and crew, on the upper deck. Although many objections have been raised against this interference with the quarter deck by naval officers, who prefer an entire "flush" from stem to stern, there is no doubt that the shelter thus afforded to the ship's company on the otherwise open deck will be acknowledged as one of the modern im provements now introduced for the benefit of the service. Her Majesty's gun vessel Ranger, Commander Wratislaw, from the West Coast of Africa, has com menced stripping and returning stores at Wool wich, and is ordered to pay out of commission on Tuesday next. Her boilers, it has been ascertained, are most defective, in consequence of which on her arrival in the Downs the vessel had to beat up to Gravesend under sail. The Ranger did considerable service off Cape Coast Castle in assisting to suppress the insurrection among the Ashantees, for which purpose Commander Wratislaw despatched a gun ner and 27 of his crew on shore to aid the authori rities. The ship hasbeen exceedingly healthy during the whole of the commission, the only deaths which have taken place being those of Mr. Somerville and Mr. Warren, the assist.-paymaster and the second master. Instructions were yesterday received at Chatham dockyard, from the Admiralty, directing Mr. A. Moore, principal master shipbuilder at that estab lishment, to proceed forthwith to Kingston for the purpose of making a survey, in conjunction with some other officers from the Royal dockyards, of the iron-cased ship Prince Consort, in order to report to the Admiralty the extent of the damage she has sustained in her encounter with the gale in the Irish Sea. The target ordered to be constructed on a new principle, and with armour-plates of increased thickness to those at present in use, in order to en able the Gfficials of the Admiralty to decide on the size of the plates with which the new iron frigate Bellerophon, which has been commenced at Chat ham, shall be coated, is to be erected at Shoebury ness, under the superintendence of Mr. Baskcomb, one of the officials from Chatham dockyard. The principal object in having the target built is to test the strength of the timber back ing and plates on the plan on which it is pro posed to construct the sides of the Bellerophon. To effect this the foundation of the target will consist of iron frames ten inches in thickness and about two feet apart, covered first with iron plates two inches in thickness, and afterwards with a backing of teak one foot thick. The six-inch armour-plates will be laid ou the teak planking, the whole thus forming a target of immense strength. From the calculations already made it is expected that this construction of side for the Bellerophon will surpass in shot-re sisting strength every other system hitherto adopted in this country, and should the trials prove satisfac tory the Bellerophon will be formed in this way f ro m stem to stern. The mechanics employed in the smithery at Chatham dockyard are now engaged in making the heavy forgings for the Bellerophon, in readiness for laying down the keel of that vessel in No. 2 dock , t he Achilles, which now occup i es that dock, having been ordered to be ready for floa tingout by the 26th December. The iron paddlewheel steamer Recruit, 6, 150 h ors e power, having had her bottom s cra p e d an d cleansed in one of the dry docks at Chatham, w hole of the compositions and the hull removed, for mer l y placed on the • gam operated upon, in order is to be a to still farther t es t the merits of the several anti corrosive and exfoliating compositions for prevent ing the accumulations on the bottoms of iron ships. The port side of the hull of the Recruit is to be paid over with the composition invented by Mr. Hay, the Admiralty c_hymist, and a portion of the star board side is t o be coated with the anti -fouling mix- Lure submitted to the Admiralty by Mr. Crispin, while the remaining art of the starboar d bottom will be coat e d w i t h a p art of the starboard bottom mitted to the will be coated with a comp su bmitted to the Admiralty by Mr. Willis. The several compositions are to be mixed and put on the vessel under the im mediate superintendence of the inventors, in order that no question may hereafter arise as to the pro per mixing of the ingredients. The iron screw frigate V aliant, 34, 4,063 tons, 800 horse power, built for the Admiralty by the Thames Iron Company, is ordered to proceed to Chatham dockyard, where she is to be surveyed by the officials belonging to that establishment, before being taken over by the Admiralty and fitted for sea.

He also saw the l e a N d Y d epaper, standing ncaptuin, to whom a passenger was reading f rom a at the bottom of the conapanioc had in the middle ht --,-. v ' a - s ie o g ne of of the ship.

Directly afterwards both the he then turned astern fell speed as soon and boy called out "Stop her," w hi ch as t d h i e , and was off the ship. He should think they were go w i n a e. y about 14 miles an hour. It w as not usual ear the captain to remain oa the bridge all the way d own from Southampton to Cowes, he having other duties in reference to packages, &c., to discharge, which are usually attended to when the steamer gets clear of the vessels and boats in the river. The part of the river where the accident occurred is unusually clear. On the port side there was a large hamper on the top of a house in front of the paddlebox, but this would not prevent the mate at the wheel seeing the look-out man. He did not see anything on the fore saloon: He considered the engines were re versed long enough to stop the way on the vessel and carry her 300 yards astern. The crew con sisted of a captain, mate, two seamen, steward, en gineer, fireman, and boy. There was nothing on the fore cabin to prevent the mate from seeing Woolcott, except the funnel. George W oo l co tt, h av i ng b een caut i one d by the Bench to the effect that what he said might be used was a seaman in evidence aga i nst hi m, state d that he on board the Ladythe Lake of accident. H e relieved Salter on the look-out near to Fawley Creek, just before the acc id en t. H e was on the 100k-o u t on the port side of the side-house, standing on the rail of the bulwarks, and leaning against the side-house. He could see the mate at the wheel from there, could see him. He wth and of course the latt e r sa the boat with the deceased on the port bow some little distance ahead, and gave a signal to the man at the right arm, which means to wheel by lifting ou t hi s port the hel m . Th e ma t e could have seen hi s s i gnal if h for ward. At the sam e time witness ess had been looking standing on the ladd er , with his saw the captain s hands on the rail. When he gave the signal the vessel was ported a li tt l e for a short time, and th en h e gave star board the helm, which was done , g e a signal to but the boat was then too near for the vessel to go d hallooed out to the ma n i n the I:.oarto t u o n shv . He the n She was then along the po r t b ow . He o should e think heroff e they were 50, 60, or 100 yards f rom t h e boat when he gave the first signal. It wa s ra th er t hi c k and hazy. The sun was shining too. He sent the helm astarboard to enable the stern of th e vessel to clear the boat. He had only been a fortnight in the em ploy of the company, but was in a steamer some years ago. It was net customary for the captain to remain on the bridge all the way down. Witn ess relieved the look-out without any orders. They took the wheel and the lookout in turns. It was Salter's turn to look out, but he saw him go away, and thoughtlhe might just as well be there as down below. It was not his duty to look out, but if he saw any thing he should, of course, call attention to it. They relieved one another at the wheel, and then looked out in turns. It was customary for them to relieve one another as they liked. He saw the captain on the bridge, and he could see witness, but when-Sal ter went down the captain was on the ladder. Salter gaid to witness, " Stand here while I go down to get my breakfast, and I'll come np again." About two minutes elapsed between his making the sign to port the helm and calling to the man to shove off. The man at the wheel saw him standing there, but he did not know whether he received his orders when the other was gone. Ile was only once on the fore cabin, up and down which he walked once, but that was before he saw the boat. As soon as he saw the vessel could not clear the boat he ran aft, but had made a signal before he did so. The man was sitting in the boat. He saw a rope over her stern, but not not know whether the boat was at anchor or the man was sculling. He thought the man was fishing, and that the boat was not moving. He had been in colliers and other boats, but had never served any particular time at sea. This being the whole of the evidence, the magis trates committed the captain for trial at the next Winchester assizes on the charge of manslaughter, but admitted him to bail, himself in £lOO and two sureties in £5O each. The required bond being im mediately forthcoming, the defendant was liberated from custod HEATIIENIKII IN SAN FRANCISCO.—The Chinese are having a great time in their Temple, in Sacramento-street, just now. Evidently the fe s ti va l i s of a religious character, though whether th e p rocee d s are to be devoted to cancelling a mortgage on their c h urc h , or to sen ding out pagan missionaries to win over Christian believers to Buddhism, is more than inquisitiveness itself has been able to ascertain. The first thing which strikes the visitor on entering the vestibule of their sanctuary is a most ancient and fish-like smell, and if he approaches the alter he will discover that the breath of the gods smells strangely of stale salmon. The first object of Chinese adoration that meets the eye is a high and hilarious god, standing some 7ft. or Sft. in his stockings, and flourishing a cigar in his left hand like a Montgomery -street swell. The attitude of this idol is not very graceful, while his legs widely spread apart, and the air with which he braces back against the wall, suggest that he is under the influence of the rosy. Altogether he had a convivial look about him highly cheerful to behold, and the effect is heightened by two horns with serrated edges which sprout gaily from behind his ears. Passing on and ascending a narrow and fishy staircase, we find a balcony, gay with flags and lanterns, and illuminated with scrolls written in sinuous characters, probably pregnant with. the wisdom of the immortal Kung-fu-tse, whom the Latins name Confucius. Here the sound of music is loud — reckless disciples play crashing anvil choruses upon immense gongs, while milder -mannered musicians keep up a rattling accompaniment on kettle-drums, blended with a symphony of shrill notes from the lips of cracked fifes.

The worshippers in the purlieus of the temple are not very devout. They loaf around, and take all sorts of theto r c spectaclel ie s arc li liberties with their gods, even to the occasional smouching of a tom-cod from their breakfast table. There are dowa gers, with headdresses which tower up in crinigerousßabels, and damsels with eyes more clam -shell than almond-shell shaped. There are male Chinamen having the look of chimpanzees, and others dandified enough in appearance to stand as lay figures in barbers' windows. Altogether the picture is a motley one, and well worth seeing, but curious visitors should be vaccinated before entering the synagogue, and carry smelling salts with them. Were there time in this connexion to indulge in speculation and reflec tion concerning this curious people who have moved their temples and gods into our midst and sat down among_ c r but of whom we really know so little, there were arnplewfo food for it. How long will they maintain their idolatrous I* ship in the full blaze of the light which a Christian these u nity sheds ?
