So far as our information goes, General Lee ii strongly posted en the southern hank of that river, with 50,000 to 60,000 men. To dislodge him by main force will be a tough job. We have more rain to-day —heavy rain, and the combatants will, in all probability, be compelled to desist from their work before it has fairly begun. Whatever may be the fate of Burnside's army at Knoxville, the General himself will soon be out of the scrape. He has either been removed, or allowed to go home on urgent private affairs, and General Foster is on his way to take his command, and has most likely by this time reached his destination. Burnside had, before leaving, assured the people at Knoxville that he felt strong enough to hold the place. The Confederate force outside the walls numbered, it is reckoned, 36,000 men. The sea wa ll at, umter is entirely destroyed, but the Con federates are, under the very fire of their enemy's batteries, constructing new bombproof defences. Some of the besiegers' Monitors have come to grief. The people here are exulting at the results of Gene ral Banks's expedition to Texas, by which they think that the designs of the French upon that vast territory have been defeated.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. VALETTA, Dec. I.—By the arrival of her Majesty's de- !patch vessel Psyche, Lieut,-Commander Sterne, on - - Sunday last, from the Piraeus, we learn that everything was quiet in Greece up to the date of her departure on the 27th ult. at 2.15 p.m., and that it had been decided that the Admiral, with the greater part of the squadron. should leave on the 2d inst. for Malta. The ships which are to leave are the Marlborough, 121 (bearing the forthcoming Message, although Washington letters assure us that up to the end of last week that worthy Potentate had not yet put pen to paper. Truly, there is enough in the position of American affairs to puzzle even honest old Abe, in spite of his well known readiness in his own peculiar style of naive and jocose composition. To say nothing of his per sonal aspirations and of his justifiable anxiety as to the next general election, the position he has placed himself in between the parties which contended for mastery over his councils becomes sufficiently em barrassing now that all shuffling and quibbling comes to an end, an d th e time draws near in which the First Magistrate is expected to speak out. It is early time as yet to calculate the chances of Mr. Lincoln's re-election. The most formidable of his riv ,Is in his immediate entourage, Mr. Seeretary Chase. is said to be willing to withdraw from fur ther competition by accepting the place of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, now vacant by the resignation of the superannuated Hon. Roger B. Taney. The army, however, will have a word to say on the subject of the new President. Whether allowed a collective suffrage in their camp, as lately in Ohio, or sent home by thousands to the polls, as in Pennsylvania and New York, the soldiers have had the casting vote in the recent State elections, and their voice -400,000 or 500,000 strong—will not fail to make itself heard in the great contest for which parties are already preparing themselves. An army is a powerful electioneering engine, and there never yet was an instance in the United States of a civilian having a chance against a military com petitor, whenever this latter came into the lists with the halo of recent success lighting up his brow. The War-office at Washington have, indeed, in dustriously exerted themselves to clip the fea thers of any bird soaring so high as to rob the present rulers of the sun of popular favour by the shadow of its wide-spread wings. But Grant, and Buell, and Banks, and Dix, and Gill more are not as helplessly laid on the shelf as Pope, or Burnside, or Roseneranz. A conquering hero there must be, if victory is ever to smile on the Federal arms ; and if any man ever came back on the shields of his million of voting followers, Mr. Lincoln must feel that even his best Joe Millers will little avail him in retaining the chair once pressed by such soldiers' idols as Andrew Jackson and Zachary Taylor. But, whatever may be the President's views as to the trial which is to come off a twelvemonth hence, he must feel that it behoves him to make up his mind from this moment, and so to weigh the relative strength and steady the drift of the different parties as to enable him to choose the one which is to recog nise him as its head. Hitherto his policy has been one of compromise. Surrounded by a Cabinet half-black, half-blue, he cut his Presidential mantle out of a cloth reflecting a variety of hues. His famous Emancipation proclamation was dictated by Abolitionist advisers. He was subsequently heard to say " that proclamation was the greatest folly he ever committed in his life." His answer to the Missouri delegation, refusing to remove General Schofield, was given in obedience to Conservative influence, an d severa l ra bid p l acem en have been recently removed, as guilty of no other offence than ultra-Republic an principles. In spite of all this the faith of the Abolitionists in the President continues unshaken, and now, on the first report of Mr. Chase's honouraWe retirement, the hopes of the party are again centred on old Abe, and their great mouthpiece, Mr. Wendell Phillips, has proclaimed in Boston that " the man who had the heart to originate the Emancipation Proclamation ought to remain in power at least six years longer." However divided the President's councillors may be, and whatever influences the Blair-Seward clique may still exercise upon the mind of a wary but Lincoln,irre there is in my mind little ola t doubt use is carrying every things ei beforena n l that k i t e t outhelq A r o b f o 1 doors.itl o ca use arming of the negro regiments was a decisive, irretrievable step. The President of Brown University, in Providence, on the occasion of the departure of one of these swarthy legions from Rhode Island, did not hesi tate to assert that " this war, whatever its mission was at the outset, has now no other object than the abolition of slavery ;" and Mr. Frederick Douglass, the well known coloured orator, stood up for the cause of " God and liberty," by which he meant, as he explained, not only the emancipation of the negroes, but also their "in itiation into the body politic," or, in other words, the extension of the suffrage to the whole coloured race. The continuation of the war for another year or two will lead almost infallibly to such results. Abolition had a few, bold, outspoken, uncom promising friends in the North years ago ; b u t it had also a vast number of timid shilly-shallying, temporizing well-wishers. H ad the South er n e rs never fired on Fort Samter,"or.had the Confederacy offered to come to terms af ter Anti etam , or even after Gettysburg, Northern Conservatism would still have it in its power to befriend the " peculiar institution." But the war draws to weary lengths, slavery gives way before its iron tread, and the North begins to feel that the quickest and surest way to compound with the rebellion is to trample it utterly, and to crush it and slavery — cause and effect—once and for ever. If there ever was a wish strongly cherished in the hearts of the Blackest Republicans, it was for an indefinite pro longation of the war. Southern valour and con. stancy give them all they prayed for. The very heroism of the armies of the Rapidan and the Tennessee, the very endurance of the defenders of Sumter will, without some unforeseen intervention of Providence, end in their self-destruction. Already there is no dou bt that sla very , to all intents and purposes, has ceased to be in all the Borde r St a t es; it is on its last gasp in the oth er invaded regions. The propo rtio n of slaves to the white population in Delaw are, Maryland, West Virgini a , K entuc ky and Missouri was before the war iu 1860, 469,401 to 2,780, 5 23—i.e. one slave to six free whites.

Fellowes ; the Trafalgar, 70, Capt. T. Mason; and the St. George, 84, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton ; and probably the Magicienne, 16, Capt. W. Armytage, or the Trident, 3, Commander C. J. Balfour. These vessels are expected here about the 9th or 10th inst. The Revenge, 73 (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral H. R. Yelverton, C. 8.), Capt. the Hon. F. A. Foley ; with the Meeanee, 60, Capt. G. Wodehouse ; and the Gibraltar, 81, Capt. J. Prevost, is to remain at the Pira3us for the winter. The Gibraltar, which left Malta on the 23d ult., arrived at the Pirsus on the forenoon of the 27th. The gunboat Borer, tender to the Marlborough, has been turned over to the Revenge. The King was to pay a visit to the Marlborough at 2 p.m. on the Ist inst. (the Princess of Wales's birthday), the programme for the occasion being a cold collation and general quarters. The Chanticleer, 17, Commander C. Sterling, sailed on Thursday for Balamata and the lonian Islands, and may be looked for at Malta some time next week. The squadron had a rifle-match on he 23d and 24th ult., when everything went off well. The men of the Revenge, Marlborough, and Magicienne carried off the most prizes. That which excited most interest was a pool target, distance 200 yards, only bull's-eyes to count, the bull's eye being only seven inches in diameter. Twenty seven bull's eyes were made, of which the com mander of the Psyche made five. The following ships of war were in the Piteous on the 27th ult.:—English--The Marlborough, the Revenge, the Trafalgar, the Magicienne, the Trident, and the Boxer. French—The Algesi ras, the Magicienne, and the Mouette. Austrian.—The Kirka, and a despatch vessel. Italian.—The Tancredi. Turkish.—The Broussa. At Salamis.—English--The St. George, the; Gibraltar, and the Meeanee ; also a Russian corvette, an Austrian frigate, and a Prussian steamer. Her Majesty's despatch vessel Caradoc, Lieut.-Commander E. 'Wilkinson, which lately arrived at Malta from Messina, for orders, left on Saturday on return to that port, to await there the arrival of Sir Henry Bulwer, and carry him back to Constantinople. The Icarus, 11, Com mander N. Salmon, V.C., was taken out of dock yesterday, having completed the repairs necessary from her having been run into by a French transport when on her way to this island from Athens, as already reported. The Fho3be, 35, Capt. A. H. Fortescue, is likely to be kept here some time longer. Just as everything was ready for casting her new cylinder an accident occurred to the mould, which will entail the whole or the greater part of the preliminary work being done over again. The Hydra, surveying vessel, Capt. T. A. B. Spratt, C. 8., is still away at Tripoli or its neighbour . hood, on surveying serv,ce. Commander A. Mansell, com manding the Firefly, now at Corfu, has been appointed to command the Hydra, in place of Capt. Spratt, who has asked to be allowel to retire on the ground of declining health. Lieut. G. R. Wilkinson, First Lieut. of the Hydra, and lately of the Medina, succeeds Commander Mansell in the command of the Firefly, which is expected here daily. The Growler, Staff-Commander J. Stokes (tender to the Hydra), is also away on surveying duty, having been sent o examine the island said to have been thrown up on the Cherki Rocks, near Tunis. The only men-of-war in port are the Hibernia, receiving ship, bearing the flag of Rear- Admiral H. T. Austin, C. 8., Commander R. B. Harvey, the Phoebe, the Icarus, the Foxhound, and the Psycho. The Foxhound leaves t )-day with a:mail for Greece. On Thursday night Mr. James Stansfeld, M.P., Junior Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Lord Clarence Edward Paget, C. 8., M.P., First Secretary, and by Mr. H. W. H. Walker, inspector and auditor of yard accounts, arrived at Pearse's Royal Hotel, Plymouth. On Friday mornin their lordships visited the Devonport dock yard, and then proceeded to Keyham steamyard, where their attention was directed specially to the ironcased screw steamship Royal Oak, 35, Capt. Fredk. A. Campbell, the sides of which just below the water line are receiving a sheathing of Hall's vitreous plates to protect the iron casing from injury through the galvanic action of Muntz's metal below. Lord Clarence Paget also visited the ironcased screw steamship Prince Consort, 35, which encountered the heavy storm early in November in St. George's Chan nel, and surveyed the plating of the screw steamer Ocean, 35, which duty is being performed by the artisans belong• ing to the establishment. In the afternoon they were conveyed by the steam tender Princess Alice to the iron screw steamship Black Prince, 41, Capt. F. B. Wainwright, and the iron screw steamship Defence, 16, Capt. Augustus Plifilimore in the Sound. On Saturday morning they re newed their visit to the dockyard. In the afternoon Lord Clarence left by South Devon Railway for London. The Dauntless, Capt. J. B. Dickson, stationed in the Southampton Water, was inspected on Friday by Commo dore Ryder, the Controller-General of Coastguard. A salute of nine guns was fired on the Commodore leaving the Ship. The training ship Wellesley, 72, Capt. W. H Stewart, C.B„ in Chatham dockyard, is to be removed from her pre sent moorings, opposite the Ordnance wharf, to Gillingham reach, at the entrance to the harbour, which position will offer groat facilities for exercising the boys and lads on board in gunnery exercise. The want of a brig for the instruction of the lads in practical seamanship is much felt, butte inconvenience in this respect which has been for some time experienced will be obviated by the Lords of the Admi ralty directing a suitable sailing brig to be attached to the Wellesley to be used in occasional runs to the Nore and the Downs. The Diamond, 27, attached to the sailing reserve squad ron, has been surveyed by the dockyard officials, and will take the place of the Wellesley as the guardship at Chatham dockyard. The Irresistible, 68, 2,642 tons, 400-horse power, and the Goliath, 68, 2,596 tons, 400-horse power, both attached to the second division of the Steam Reserve squadron at Chatham, being required for the Coastguard service, are or dered to be brought forward for commission as soon as the work now in hand connected with the Steam Reserve will admit. The Irresistible will be required to be com pleted by the end of April next, and the Goliath in June following. Both vessels will require to be docked for the purpose of a thorough overhaul and repair before being placed in commission. On Monday a court-martial assembled at Devonport for the trial of William Charles Mitchell, William Owens, and Henry James, ordinary seamen, serving on board the Ma jestic, 80, screw, coastgu ard ship, at Liverpool, for deser tion. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and were each sentenced to receive 36 lashes on board the Majestic, and then to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months in the naval prison at Lewes. The sentence of the Court, as far as the flogging is concerned, was carried out on Friday morning on board the Majestic soon after 9 o'clock, in the presence of nearly the whole ship's company. Each man received his 36 lashes without a murmur, one of them merely remarking during his punishment, "Flog fair," The crime for which they are punished is for deserting some months ago. Seven others deserted at the same time, all of whom shipped on board one of the American packets trading be tween Liverpool and New York. Those punished were captured on the return voyage. A large number of men have deserted recently to join American ships. Horniman's Tea is choice and strong, moderate in price, and wholesome to use.

In North'and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Texas there were 1,875,063 slaves to 540,529 free whites—the coloured popu lation was considerably more than half the number of the white race, and in some of those States, as in South Carolina, the slaves :actually outnumbered the free whites. But since the outbreak of the war, the slaves in those territories into which the Northerners have extended their conquests may be looked upon as virtually lost to their owners. About 600,000 of them have been emancipate)—the rest have been driven by the Confederates themselves into the Southern States still defended by their arms. It is calculated that from 1.000,000 at least, to 1,800,000 have been thus transmigrated, and by this time the black population of North and South Carolina, and especially Georgia. must far exceed, and almost double, the white. You are aware that this enormous accession of black mouths to be fed has been quoted as one of the causes of the distress for food under which the South is now described as suffering, For my own part, I confess that I doubt the distress, and incline to think that the Confederates had, and still have, it in their power to utilise their slaves, and turn them to the produc tion no less than to the consumption of breadstuffs, always supposing that they hold the reins tightly on their necks, and have nothing to apprehend from attempts at servile war. This bugbear of negro insurrection, however, has lost not a little of its former terror, and there is now no.doubt that, without a great deal of pressure from without, the black has no very earnest hankering after freedom, and, indeed, shrinks from it, and often goes back to his chains after a first stretching of his free limbs. How those millions of negro bondmen may now fare in the Carolinas or in Georgia we have no posi tive means to ascertain—but that freedmen in Federal hands are not lying on a bed of roses, we can readily assert on irrefragable Republican evi dence. With all the goodwill, the ample resources, and the unwearied activity of the Federal Govern ment to ameliorate the condition of the blacks in the Mississippi valley, with all the model plantations, schools, asylums, and charitable as sociations got up in their behalf, we know that thousands of those unhappy freedmen have died and are dying from destitution and disease; although hitherto the Government has had to deal with comparatively small numbers, although the whites, with the large bulk of their slaves, have been falling back before their conquerors. But can any man consider without shuddering what would be the fate of the 3,000,000 of blacks now concen trated in the last citadel of the Confederacy, were this to be suddenly broken into, and the few whites, with all their vast black flock, to be rendered incap able of either further resistance or retreat ? Such is, however, the aim the Abolition party in the North have been from the beginning, and are now more than ever driving to—the utter disorgani sation of the South, for without this they think the work of emancipation cannot be completed. The work of destruction proceeds in the meanwhile, and before it is carried on to its full extent we may feel assured that it must be as fatal to the black as to the white race, and must turn the Southern region into a charnel house and a wilderness. Will, then, Mr. Lincoln take part with the out and- out Abolitionists? Is there any alternative left for him? It is matter of necessity for the President to pay due attention to public opinion, and as far as my own observation extends, it is impossible to deny that the Abolition party has gained immense ground since the late elections. Even in Missouri, where Mr. Lincoln so lately snubbed the rabid Ra dical faction, the public voice has given a strong utterance in support of that party. Missouri, as you know, had through its Legislature decreed the abo lition of slavery on its own territory within the period of seven years. The oat and out Republicans, however, are storming for immediate emancipation, and the newly elected Legislature will obey the popular outcry. We hear of movements in the same sense in all the other Border States, where slavery, indeed, had bat a very feeble hold, and any resolution the constituted bodies in those States may come to will, for all practical purposes, be forestalled by the dissolution of the pre sent social system, consequent upon the exi gencies of the war, and the arbitrary measures of military rule. However unfairly and illegally the elections may have been effected in those States, the result will not the less have been to secure a Republican, if not a Radical, majority, not only in the local assemblies, but also in both Houses of Con gress. Every month, every day, the war is Pro longed tolls the death knell of the peculiar institu tion of the South; every day adds strength to the uncompromising Abolition party, and compels the Democrats and the modern Republicans to resign themselves, and acquiesce in the inevitable. Truly, the wholesale desolation of the South, the extinction of their State sovereignty, and their reduction to the condition of disenfranchised territories, agreeably to the ruthless scheme of Mr. Charles Sumner, fil all humane persons with dismay; but the innate buoyancy of the American, his faith in the vitality of his country, soon get the better of his misgivings ; and make him jump to the flattering conclusion that " all will be right in the end." It would be worth while for the English press to keep a special correspondent here simply for the purpose of sending home daily specimens of Ameri can bragging. Here are " A few facts, moderately stated," as an article in yesterday's number of the paper most universally read in the Union is en itled _ _ " Oar discoveries and inventions in the art of war are changing the military and naval systems of all Europe. We have cannon against which fortifications are as fragile as paper, and ships which are almost impregnable to the heaviest shot. Pulsaki and Sumter are battered down off hand, and our Monitors shed shot as a duck sheds rain. No European navy is of any account in comparison with our own, and no European fortress is secure if we choose to attack it. To take Gibraltar would be child's play to the army and navy which have taken Vicksburg. Our first move in a war with England would be to anchor at Dander berg opposite to London and proclaim our ultimatum of Greek fire or unconditional surrender. We have won for ourselves the title of the Hercules of nations. We ar cleaning our own Augean stables at present, but we shall be ready for those of the other continent when our services are required. Perhaps France and England will wait to be whipped by-and-by. If so, we will accommo date them, and have no objection to throw a few puny Powers like Spain into the bargain," &c. It may be said that the writer of such rodemon tades is only what the Italians would call a matto glorioso, but other papers do not write, other peo ple do not talk in a substantially different strain. The l angu age may be more guarded or l ess u ncourteous , but the notion that America is to issue from the present struggle great and mi g hty enough to be a t err or to 4 , all creation" is both widespr ead and deep-rooted.

A great haul , between Grant and Bragg was expected to take place to-day. There was to-day a report that Giant had obtained a great victory over Bragg ; all that was certain, however, was that the heavy rain had rendered military operations on a large scale almost impracticable.

The Dublin and Kingstown Steam Packet Com pany have come to the resolution of giving an im pulse to native manufactures, so far as they can aid that depressed branch of industry, by ordering a new iron steamer for their line from Messrs. Walpole and Webb, of this city. Shipbuilding is a trade which the spirit of combination, still che rished unfortunately by the Irish artisan, helped to drive out of Dublin ; and it is to be hoped that the! efforts now being made to revive it, and to which the Dublin and Kingstown Steam Company afford such practical aid, will not be defeated by a mis chievous system, to combat which was am on g st the most useful of th e l a b ours o f O'Connell; and so tenaciously did the trades of Dublin cling to the delusion that combination, which was the bane of their well-being, was the prop and guardian of their interests, that the great agitator, at the very time that they almost adored him as something superhuman, used to require a guard of police to protect him from their fury on his way home from meetings at which he had sought to convince them of the fatal errors of their combination poiicy.

Mr. Hughes, C.C., of Dundalk, was aroused from his meditations by his fireside a few evenings since by cries of " Murder," which brought him rapidly, and, as it happened, seasonably, to the scene of a moat brutal outrage close to his dwelli ng . Two ruffians, named Shevlin and Keenan, had beaten a young man named Cunningham most mercilessly. They had him by the legs and shoul ders, battering him against a stone wall, over which they flung him, with the evident intention of fol lowing him, perhaps to complete their work by de priving him of life, when the approach of the priest induced them to abandon their intention, and take to their heels ; but the courageous curate was not to be baffled by the flight of the culprits. He gave chase, and, being an active, powerful man, began to gain upon the flying miscreants, which, on perceiving, brought them to a halt, resolved, irre spective of the good man's cloth and character, to preserve the liberty which they knew he designed to imperil and to evade justice; but Father Hughes held his own against the odds opposed to him till the arrival of aid, when he succeeded in securing the criminals, who are, thanks to his intrepidity, in the hands of justice, the full benefits of which they are sure to experience. " PTe hope," says the Dundalk correspondent of the Irish Tones, "Mr. Hughes will receive the just reward of his gallant and philanthropic capture, and from his diocesan a rich parish, where no doubt his talent, piety, and gentlemanlike demeanour would make him a general favourite. Few reeders of Mr. Hughes's gallant achievement will take exception to this generous hope. The Mysterious Death at Brighton. On Saturday the adjourned inquest as to th mysterious case was resumed at the White Horse Rottingdean, before Mr. F. H. Gill, coroner for East Sussex. The object of the adjournment was to ascertain what had become of deceased between the Bth of November, when Mr. Louis Adolphus, with whom she was connected, stated that he bid her good bye at the London-bridge station, and the 25th, when her body was found in the sea. The inspector of police had no evidence to produce on this point. Dr. Noakes said he had made a further exami nation of the body, and found no fractures or extensive marks of violence, but there were bruises occasioned by contact with the rocks, which he believed to have been occasioned after death. The body was so fresh that be did not think it had been in the water 24 hours—certainly not from the 9 Lti to the 25th. Elizabeth Young, of 2 , Queen's - road, Camden town, said deceased lodged with her three years ago, and recently one month, up to the day in question, Nov. 8. A Captain Bruce, whom she passed off as her husband, called for her in a cab, and she left the house with him, and subsequently her luggage--a large packing-case, a trunk, end small boxes—was sent for. She knew Capt. Bruce when she saw him, and said she had that inton in g seen him enter the White Horse Hotel. On the morning of the day she left deceased she said herd husband was in th e ne i g hb our h oo d, and " He will kill me, h e w ill kill me." iffeixtcoleism exclaimed, " e. ' plied, " Then don't go with him," an d sh e said, I must go." A photograph produced Was identified deceased as that of Capt. Bruce. She had seen Capt. Bruce three years before, whento be the same man. was lodgingin Cambridge-terrace,and knew i t hat a person nam e d ' Had heard deceased sal Lewis, who was something in the City, had poss es _ sion of three large boseanlowfah D e ceased Bruce as her h us b and, Bruce, and spok of and used to go o nce a week to Forest-hill to see her child, w hich she said was with his fatuity. Julia Weym outh, of 9, Camden Cottages, had known decea sed for some years, and a l so M r. Bruce, and knew deceased was not married t o him. Mr. Adolp hus had also called at her house to see de ceased three or four times. Witness also said that M r . Adolphus and Mr. Bruce Were not one and the same person, and on seeing the same photograph which the previous witness had sworn was that of Mr. Bruce, she declared the likeness was that of Mr. Adolphus, and not of Capt. Bruce. She saw deceased on the morning of the Bth instant in her usual cheerful spirits. Maria Pratt, deceased's sister, who lives at York, said that in a letter . she received 'from deceased, dated the Bth of November, she stated that " Mr. Adolphus had taken her away from her lodgings, and she had nowhere to go to, but to stay with him." It was dated from the Great Northern Hotel. Her sister always spoke kindly of Mr. Adolphus. She had seen both Mr. Bruce and Mr. Adolphus. They were two distinct persons. Deceased always went by the name of Mrs. Bruce. Mr. Adolphus was recalled, and repeated bis statement that the last he saw of deceased was 0 0 the Bth of November, when she left him at London Bridge terminus for Brighton. A letter was produced, which deceased had ad dressee to Mr. Adolphus on th 9 day before, request ing him to spend the night of the ith with the to comply with, writer. This, he said, he declined but met her next morning, speat the dcly with her at the Great Northern Hotel, and saw her off to Brighton in the evening. The jury ultimately returned a verdict, " That the deceased was found drowned, but there was no evidence to show bow she got into the water." 7 P d ? ~J~ d) vd &;- 1 1 R jae,eeee eee,AYN. 4e•NA , x , 7 4:;.:*We0e4 c .

Th e brig Rocket, of Sunderland, was sp c etee te w i t h on Friday by a local smack ; she i i ,,, , d both her masts carried away, and was being towed: by an Ostend smack to that port. Th e tide on Friday rose at Lowestoft an unusual hei r ;ht, and some damage was done to the harbour works. On Saturday the wind continued fresh, and the ha.t , boor was full of vessels more or less disabled. At' 1.20 p.m. a telegram was received from Admiral Fitzroy directing the south cone to be again hoisted. The intelligence which reached Shields on Satur day leaves no doubt that there has been a very severe loss of Tyne ships during the late fearful gale. A telegraphic message reached that town on Saturday that the Scipio, of North Shields, was lost, but that her crew were saved, The survivors of the crew of the brig U. G., which was lost on the Trinity Sands on Thursday, arrived .at Shields on Saturday night. A telegram reached: Newcastle . ' quay on Saturday afternoon that the Itt.ege screw steam collier Tom John Taylor had put into.' a York shire roadstead, three of her crew having been washed: overboard. The master had his leg broken. The greatest anxiety prevails with regard to the safety 01' the 20 laden ships that were foolishly sent to sea on.. Wednesday night from the Tyne just before the terrific gale came on.

Oa Friday morning an alarming report re2vhed Glasgow that the Karnes Gunpowder Mills had been completely destroyed by, en explosion nn Thursday afternoon. The works in question ar e situated in Argyllshire, distant two or three milea from Tigh - na - bruaich, in the Kyles of Bute- They consist of a large collection of detached one storey buildings, sc a tt ere d over some 40 or 50 acres of ground. Of th ese erect i ons on ly five have suffered from the explosi on — na mely, a corning -house, press house, dust-house, and two g l a zing-houses, all con nected with the latter stages of the manufacture.. " Tbey are, we understan d, constructed almost; entirely of timber, with galvanised roofs. With regard to the cause of t he explosion, in the abs ence of any other feasible ex p lanation, it is su pp os ed to gh afternoontning . ItVfas about a quarter before when the have been occasieetherd by li ghtning . theeein whole country, for some miles round, was startled by the tremendous report occasioned by the blowing up of the corning -h ouse. Panesof glass were broken at Port Bannatyne, and in I nothesa y windows and doors were shaken in such an A larming manner that some people supposed an earthquake had. taken place. The sound of the explosion was also distinctly heard at Tar bert, notwithstanding a strong westerly gale which was blowing at the time. There would probably be three or four men i n the corning-house when the accident occurred, all of whom have lost their lives. Had the Weather been calm, the probability is that, seeing the buildings are placed at considerable distances from one another, the disaster would have been confined to the corning-house. As it was, however, fragments of burning wreck from that structure were carried to leeward, and in conse quence, after the lapse of a minute or two, the dust house, press-house, and glazing-houses, above mentioned, exploded in rapid succession. In the interval between the first and second explosions, the workmen employed in the dusthouse and glazing houses managed to get out of doors, and took shelter, some under the steep banks of a rivulet which rune through the works, and others beneath a bridge which spans the stream. The men in the press house, however, from some cause or other, d id ". their make their escape, and consequently, l ige were _ unfortunate companions in the corning house, involved in the destruction of the baildieg• I " n e 5 q uantity of of the five houses contained a larg • however, was powder.

It would be well if such critics would occasionally question their own capacity for judgment rather than the sanity of an acknow ledged great author, who in the progress and development of his genius outstrips their powers of comprehension. The fact is, that all Bethoven's works, both early and late, are the natural products of the different phases of an intellect which knew no bounds to its progressive advancement ; and, as a necessary consequence, a larger knowledge of the art generally, and longer special study of the works indi • vidually, are required by the more elaborate than by the simpler compositions.—iondoe .Bedew, c.
