The Minister sent in the demand, and gave them till 2 p.m. on the 13th to come to terms, About 3 p.m. on that day a beat came off with a Vice -Minister, on having a guard of 40 men. Ho would not come on board till his guard were allowed to come also. After having been on board a short time another boat came off, and then the Vice- Minister, or agent of Satsuma, said there as some mistake about the answer, and that he must go on shore again, and that ho could give no information as to when he could give the answer. We immediately got under way, and moved out of range of the guns, and began to prepare for to-morrow morning. 8 p.m.—The same man came on board and deli vered a letter, but it was written in Japanese, and it would take time to interpret it ; so Lieut.-Col. Neal told him he must send off in the morning, and then he should know if wo considered it satisfactory or not. Friday, 14th—A boat came off about 830 a.m. to receive the answer. I believe the answer was that wo considered their letter very far from being satisfactory, and that we should have no further communication with them except under a flag of truce, At 10 a.m. the Admiral, accompanied by Parker, master of the Euryalus, embarked on board the gunboat Havoc, and proceeded up the bay to reconnoitre three screw steamers seen there on the 12th. The steamers were found still at anchor (a ship and two three-masted schooners). Went round the bay and found it deep, no bot tom with 40 fathoms, except close to the shore, within 100 yards-33 fathoms. The Admiral returned on board about 3 p.m, and made signal for the captains of the Argus, the Racehorse, the Coquette, the Pearl, and the Havoc. We understand they are to capture the steamers in the morn ing. 730 p.m.—Got springs on the cable. Saturday, 15th, 4 20 a.m.—The vessels mentioned yes terday proceeded up the bay to capture the steamers. 10 a.m,—The Coquette returned towing the Contest, the Argus the Sir George Grey, and the Racehorse the England. I think this rather astonished the people on shore, for there werecro wdslooking on,and some of the bat: eries were manned during the forenoon. Tuera were two prisoners made on hoard the Sir George Grey—one c died Kasiwah, a doctor, who speaks and writes moderately good English, and had bean to Europe with the Japanese Embassy, and was now a captain in Satsuma's service; and the other, called Otani, who was First Captain orAdmiral of Satsuma's steam fleet. Those gentlemen preferred to deliver themselves to the admiral rather than to venture on shore after having allowed their vessels to be crtpturect without resistance. They were landed at Kanigawa, under cover of night, on the 24th inst. The wind has been increasing, and there is every appearance of a gale. Wind S.E. Noon.—Low water. The Spit battery fired a signal gun, and imme diately all the batteries opened fired with shot and shell on the squadron, the shot flying very close over our heads, and a few shell bursting close alongside. Batteries firing shell from mortars tried to spring ship, with broadside to the batteries, with port spring, but could not, the wind being so strong. The Admiral made the signal to Coquette, Racehorse, Argus, "Burn prizes and join Admiral." The steamers were soon in flames. It seemed a great pity to burn them, yet still the service required it. The value of the steamers alone, without cargoes, was 300,000 dollars. 12 50 p.m.—Weighed and formed lino of battle. 210 p.m. Opened fire with pivot gun on No. 6 battery, the shells bursting well, 220 p.m.—Opened fire on battery with starboard broadside, the shot and shell telling well, par ticularly the quarter-deck Armstrongs. The enemy's shot and shell began to fly very thick about the ship, cutting a great many of the ropes. Men in tops observed men leave battery, our fire having dismounted four guns. We now began to approach the large batteries, owing to the wind blowing so fresh and directly on shore, all the smoke covered completely these forts, so that we could not tell how far off we were, but wo supposed about 700 or 800 yards. 255 p.m.—Captain Josling and Commander Wilmot both killed on the bridge by one and the same shot. The Admiral and Mr. Parker, the master, were on the bridge along with the captain and the commander when the latter were killed, and narrowly escaped the fatal ball. The Admiral's coolness and collectedness on this trying occasion was very remarkable; but when all was over he paid a worthy tribute of feeling to the memory of the brave officers and men who had fallen around him on the spot. A 10-inch shell exploded at the muzzle of the No. 3 gun on main deck, killing seven men on the spot, and wound.. ing Lieutenant Jephson and five men. A shell came through the starboard waist bulwark, and burst under the starboard launsh, completely blowing her bottom in, but without hurting any one. A shot carried away starboard speaking tube on the bridge, and lodged in the brake of the poop, breaking all the cabin windows. The firing very hot ; at this time wo were under the fire of 37 guns from 10-inch to 18 pounders. 310 p.m.—Racehorse got on shore under No. S battery, she firing at it and keeping them away from the guns; the Argus and Coquette sent to her assistance. 330 p.m.—Ceased firing. 345 p.m.-- Came to under Josling Point in 25 fathoms. 420 p.m , Forts discontinued firing on the Argus. Racehorse and Coquette observed the town to be on fire. 7 p.m.—The Havoc set fire to five large Loochoo junks. 8 p.m.— Observed Satsuma's foundries to be on fire; blowing very hard, with rain; ship with two anchors down and steam ing slowly against it. Midnight,—Town foundry and junks burning fiercely. Sunday, 16th, 4 a.m,—Town and foundry still burning; junks burnt to the water's edge and drifted on shore; saw that several had been dismounted in batteries Nos. 7 and S. 11 a.m..—Committed to the deep the bodies of Capt. Josling, Commander Wilmot, and the following men:—Wm. Yard ley, A.B. ; d. S m i t h , ordinary ; Wm. Hagerty, A.B. ; R.

Engaged bat teries both sides, firing shell at Satsuma's house and town. 3 45 pan ,— Magatine in No. 11 battery and also that in Spit. Battery blew up batteries on Tori Island, and Spit Battery firing on squadron. 5 p.m.—Ceased firing ; observed the town to Too on fire on the south of Satsuma's house. 520 VA.—Came to off the Seven Islands in 8 fathoms, about 68 miles to the south of the town, 9 30 p.m.—Departed this life Thomas Harding, 8.1. C., from the effect of wounds received yesterday. Monday, 17th, 2 p.m.—Weighed squadron in company and steered for the entrance of the bay.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. WEDNESDAY. The day after the Cambricieshlre is generally a quiet one, but this year the unfortunate contretemps of the win ner's jockey not being able at first to draw his weight, and the various pros and cons the subject has given rise to, has tended to keep alive excitement, and some degree of un pleasant feeling. Lord Westmoreland, the owner of the second horse, lodged a formal protest against the decision of the Stewards, and the matter had not been gone into by the Jockey Club when our parcel was despatched. Meanwhile the morning payment on the event was sus pended, and speculation throughout the day was languid in consequence. The racing was of no particular interest, and with one or two exceptions the fields were small. Lord Glasgow's fortune was in the ascendant, he carrying off the Stakes named after himself with the Miss Sarah colt, and the £5O Plate with the one by Barbatus out of Seno rita ; but in his match with.Lordtoventry Knowsley suc cumbed to Umpire, who chose to be in a good temper, and won easily. A long delay at the post, and an ultimately very bad start, for the Private Handicap Sweepstakes, for three-yr olds, in which Juliet got an advantage of some lengths, led to an objection against her as the winner, which was over ruled by the stewards. The 2-yr-old Handicap Sweepstakes fell to Attraction, and Countersign carried off the Subscription Plate for 2 and 3-yr-olds from a field of rather moderate performers. Capt. Christie was again fortunate with Lord Adolphus over the T.Y.C. There was a good race between Ely, Beatrix, and ➢iahometan as afinale to the proceedings, which was won cleverly by Ely. The weather continues fine. Optional Selling Plate of 60 soya, for 3-yr-olds and up wards. Weight for age, with selling allowances. Cam bridgeshire Stakes Course.

Croagh Patrick, on the upper ground, made play, having the Senorita colt at his girths, with Lady Abbess and Re set ve lying up. They ran in these positions to the bushes, where the two latter were beaten and dropped back, and Lord Glasgow's colt joined the favourite, the pair running togother into the bottom, where the Senorita colt drew away and won easily by two lengths.

Through the fractiousness of Peignoir and the anxiety evinced by the rider of Juliet to get away, the start was de layed half an hour. 'When Mr. M'George lowered his flag Juliet got away with a flying start of 10 lengths, Poland going on second, with Lady Clifden, Cassidia, Paddy O'Rourke, East Sheen, and Farfalla following, widely spread, to half way down the Bushes-hill, when Paddy O'Rourke obtained second place, but without any chance of reaching Juliet, who cantered past the post half a dozen lengths in advance of Mr. Robertson's horse, who was the same distance in front of Casidia—Lady Clifden was fourth, East Sheen and Farfalla, aide by side, were next Poland and Peignoir were the two last, the latter being left at the post.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, Oat. 28. Five most respectable looking persons were placed in the dock of the Commission Court yesterday to take their trial on a charge of robbery. Their names ar e Arthur Robert Tisdall, Eliza Tisdall, his wife, Sarah Nesbitt, Margaret Cunningham, and Bedelia F re nch —Mrs. Tisdall's th ree s i sters . Th ere were also arraigned with them two servants, named Mary Kellaghy and Catherin e K e ll y . Th e c i rcumstances o f the c ase are very p ecu li ar . Th e prosecutr i x, M rs. 31aria Buckland, came from New South Wales ( w here her husband resides) to this country about four months ago, and i n t h e mont h o f J u l y s h e took lodgings in Mr. Tisdall's house, 5, Ontario terrace, in the Rathrnines township. She brought with her an immense quantity of valuable pro • perty—wearing apparel, linen, &c., contained i n 13 trunks and packing-cases. She remained Tisdall's for six wee k s , at Mr• and during that time she missed a quantity of goods, among which were several silk dresses. On the Ist of Sep t e mber she was obliged to go to London, and then the female prisoners commenced a wholesale !slander of her effects. Her boxes were broken open, and dresses, tablecloths, sheets, &c., carried off to the pa wnbroker's, whil e pi eces o f s i lk and sat i n were consigned to two dressmakers, to be mach into robes for the plunderers. After 12 days Mrs. Buck land returned, and put the matter into the hands of the detectives. On the officers proceeding with Mrs. Buckland to search Mr, Tisdall's house, Mrs. Tisdall flew at the prosecutrix, struck her a dreadful blow in the face, and threw several things at her. A great number of duplicates were found in the houses of the prisoners, who lived near each other, a nd the officers succeed e d i n recovering the greater portion of the stolen property—about £2OO worth. The defence set up was that Mrs. Buckland had either given the articles as presents to the female prisoners, or in payment of an alleged debt. Judge pris Keogh, in charging the jury, o b served that the two defences contradicted each other, and the stolen property was toe large a n d valuable to support either ground. There being no evidence against Mr. Tisdall, ha was discharged, as were also the two serva nts, who had only take n th e goods to the pawn offices by direction of their respective mistresses. female prisoners wer e found The four rema inin g gu ilty and se ntenced to 12 months ' imprisonment. with hard labour. They fainted on hearing the sentence. A Board of Trade inquiry into the circumstances attending the loss of the ship Ganges, which was wrecked near Cushendrin, on the Antrim coast, on the lath of September, was commenced on Friday at the Customhouse here. The Ganges was the the Messrs. M ar ti n of this city, and ;vas pro perty of bound from Stranraer, is Scotland, to Quebec, in ballast. While in Stranraer the crew became in subordinate and refused to sail in the vessel, alleging that she was not seaworthy. The captain (Mr. Thomas Hoare) took theta before the magis trates, who directed a survey of the vessel, which proving satisfactory, they ordered the crew either to proceed on their voyage or undergo 10 weeks' im prisonment. The Ganges sailed on th e 12 t h of Sep tember and encountered very bad weather. At half past 1 on the morning of the 18th the captain, who had been constantly on deck for 36 hours, retired to his cabin to take a little rest, having previously satisfied himself as to the ship's position, and di rected the secoud mate (David Skeagh), who had the watch, not to alter her course without consulting hi m . That officer, however, at half-past 2, ordered the crew to wear the ship, and in doing so she went upon the rocks. The captain, awakened by the shock, rushed on deck, and accused the second mate an d cre w of having purposely destroyed her. He did everything possible to save the vessel, but the crew disobeyed him and thought only of saving their own effects. With the aid of the Coastguard all got safely to shore. On Monday the members of the Court, Mr. O'Donnell, police magistrate, and Captains Robinson and Baker, announced that they completely ex onerated the capt a i n, and the fault, if there was any, rested with the second mate, who was examined, and deposed that the statement of the captain that he told him not to wear the ship without calling him was false ; the order the captain gave him was not to stand to the southward of a particular headland, which the captain pointed out below. Th e w i n d veere d to th e to him before go in g south, and in order to comply with the order it was requisite to wear. The captain (who received a high character for ability and steadiness from the Messrs. Martin) contradicted this statement in tote. The Court pronounced their decision yesterday, acquitting the captain and suspending the second mate's certificate for 6 months. The Corporation yesterday granted a salary of £lOO per annum to the city analyst, Dr. Cameron, who is to hand over to the city treasurer whatever fees he may receive from persons who employ him in his public capacity. The Lord Mayor was also authorized to purchase food suspected to be adul terated, and to submit it to him for analyzation A j a il The Adriatic, one of the Atlantic Roya l C om pany's fleet, sailed from Galway at 2 30 P .m. end f o r New York.

Queen Isabella was dressed in white; her rob,: was coverea with the richest lace ; her crown of large diamonds and her necklace of stones just as large : r s c e t s i ehs pearls covered wore zd were most dazzling.

Madame Guilhou, wife of the Director of the General Credit Company; the Dachesse de La Torre, and the daughters of Gen. ICos de Olano and of the Marquis " de Mira ores, shone pre-eminent by the elegance of their toilettes. The King wore the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour, and the French Ambassador the grand Cross of Charles 111. Queen Isabella did ntitili.it c; .- in consequence of her interesting position, and the Empress only twice. Princess Murat was vis-a-vis in the first with Don Sebastien and in the second with the King. At midnight their Majesties withdrew to the 'grand gallery, where a splendid supper was served, and successively, and without the slightest confusion, the whole of the com pany invited, 1,500 in number, took their seats at table. After supper the Queen and the Empress walked through the saloons, and conversed with a number of persons. At half-past 2 their Majesties retired, but the great majority of the company re mained at the palace for nearly two hours after." The Correspondencia gives the following details of the Empress's departure from the capital—" Her Majesty left on the 23d for Toledo and Valencia. At 10 in the morning the Queen left her apartments with the Royal family, and proceeded to those of the Empress, who, attired in her travelling dress, was waiting for her Majesty. The two Sovereigns at meeting showed marks of the greatest affection. At half-past 10 the Empress, the Queen, the King, and the Princess Murat left the palace for the rail way station in one of the State carriages, drawn by eight horses richly caparisoned, followed by others containing the persons of the Imperial suite. The Countess de Montijo, the Infantes Dons Sebastien and Francisco, and all the Ministers were in waiting at the station. Before the Empress got into the railway station Queen Isabella embraced her in the most affectionate manner, and the Empress was moved to tears. The train started at 11. M. Barrot, the French Ambassador, accompanied her Majesty, and the Marquis de Villafranca and the Count d'Alta mira will not leave her until she embarks on board the Aigle. The Countess de Montijo could not go with the Empress as far as Toledo on account of the delicate state of her health. We hope that her Ma• jesty will feel satisfied with the reception she has met with in Spain, and that the Emperor Napoleon, on hearing the details of the journey, will see how highly Spain appreciates good allies, and how much she values the friendship of France." The colonelcy of the 78th Highlanders is vacant by the death of Gen. Macneil. A Highlander by birth and a soldier by nature, he was well worthy to be the colonel of the Ross-shire Buffs, Who will now succeed to he colonelcy of a regiment which, soon after it was raised, gained the praises of Sir Arthur Wellesley at the battle of Assay°, and which has never been degenerate ? On the contrary, at the battle of Cawnpore, in the year 1857, Havelock so greatly admired their courage that he addressed to the 78th Highlanders these words, " Should her Majesty ever be pleased to confer upon me a regiment, I shall ask, as the greatest boon, the colonelcy of the 78th High landers." The hardships and the dangers which this little band encountered under a hot July sun, on the plains of Bengal, and the important service which it ren dered in quelling a frightful insurrection against almost overwhelming numbers of mutineers, have been made known by Marshman's "Life of Havelock," and by other books. Never was fortitude under privation better displayed than when Havelock's force was shut up in Lucknow. But ser vices well described have not been well rewarded. No clasp has been given for the battle of Cawnpore, notwithstanding the courage there displayed. Havelock, Outram, Neill, and many of the heroes of Cawnpore and Lucknow are dead ; but there are survivors of that little band who can better tolerate the loss of health than the want of honours. A clasp for Cawr pore, or a Companionship of the Bath for Luck now, would cost the country nothing. They would reward valour, and, moreover, render not fruitless the words of the dying hero, which have since been inscribed on the pedestal of his statue in Trafalgar-square—" Soldiers, your labours, your privations, your sufferings, and your valour, will not be forgotten by a grateful country." The author of these words, if he had lived, would have advocated their claims, no doubt successfully ; that he would have been the succes sor of Maeneil, of Barra, in the colonelcy of the 78th Regi aenldd, made ment, less certain. Highlanders might not have wished for their colonel an Englishman, however proud they might have been of the aspiration of a Havelock.
