UsR OF A PLAID IN BATTLE.—A. letter was received a few days ago by a draper in Inverness, in which occurs the following curious circumstance :—" The big rough plaid which we got some time ago for Captain Campbell 23rd Regiment, saved his life at the Alma, as he found several balls in it 'after he was carried off the field o n t he 20th September,"—Edinburg4 Courant, :tlng` LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7, 1854. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The St. George, 120, Captain Byres, C. 8., has sailed from Portsmouth, for Devonport, to be paid off. Her crew will be draughted into war steamers. The Dauntless, 33, screw frigate, Captain Ryder, was ordered yesterday to prepare for sea with all possible de spatch. She went out of the steam basin at Ports mouth yesterday morning, received her crew, and began to re-ship her sea stores. She will go to Spithead this morning, and have her sea-going complement made up by draught., from the sailing -r,quadrou, after which, it is reported, she leaves to reinforce Rear-Admiral .Fan shawe's squadron on the North American station. The Walmer Castle, hired sailing transport, left Portsmouth yesterday, full of victualling supplies fur Malta. ME LOSS OF TDB ARCTIC. EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE. The following personal narrative of his sufferings on a raft, after the loss of the American mail steam -ship, the Arctic, is given by James Smith, of Mississipi, in the Quebec Chronicle of th e 14th o f l ast mont h :7-- I was a passenger in the Arctic. We had been out from Liverpool seven days, and were in about longitude 52, and somewhere about 50 or 60 miles off Cape Race, on the coast of Newfoundland, when the dreadful occurrence took place on Wednesday, Sept. 27. During the day, up to the time of the accident, the wea ther had been quite foggy, and I was somewhat astonished and alarmed several times, when on deck seeing the weather so thick that I fancied not snare than three or four of the ship's lengths ahead could be seen, and she going on at full speed, without any alarm-bell, steam-whistle, or other sig nal being sounded at intervals, in some such manner as I had been accustomed to in a fog on other vessels. At about 15 minutes after the meridian eight bells had been struck, and while sitting in my stat e - room i n th e f orwar d cabin, the earnest cry o a voice on deck (whom I at the moment took to be the man oc the look-out) to "Stop her,,stop her—a steamer a-head !" was heard with alarm by- myself, and all others in the cabin ; at the same time the man giving the alarm could be heard running off towards the engine -room. I stepped out of my state-room, and while endeavouring, with Mr. Cook, my room-mate, to calm the excitement among the ladies in the cabin, and before the man giving the alarm on deck had reached the engine room, we were made aware of the concussion by a somewhat slight jar to oar - ship, accompanied by a crashing noise on our starboard-bow. It was a moment of awe and suspense; but I think we all seemed to satisfy ourselves that the shock was slight, and that, as we were on so large and strong a vessel, no serious•damage had happened, or could well happen to such a ship, in an occurrence of such a na ture. With such a reliance on my own mind, at any rate, I was very quickly on deck, and, in detached accounts from other passengers, learned that a screwkstearuer, with all sail set, had struck us on the starboard bow, and, glancing aft our starboard wheel and wheel-hoagie, struck her again, and she passed astern of ut oert ersitbt, immediately, is the thick fog. I saw, on the first glance at oar bulwarks, that all was right with us, but instantly began to get alarmed from our careening over on the side we had been struck, as well as from the call for the passengers to keep on the port side. I understood, also, at this time, that one of our boats had been cleared away and lowered, with our first officer and six men, to render assistance to the other vessel, and that our ship was making round in search of her also. I saw Captain Luce on the paddle-box, giving orders in one way and another, and most of the officers and men running hero and there on the deck, getting into an evi dentstate of alarm; without seemingto know . what was to be done, orapplying their energies to any ono thingin particular except in getting the anchors and other heavy articles over on to the port side of the ship. I looked over the starboard bow and saw several large breaks in the side of our ship, from 8 to 12 or 14 feet abaft the cutwater, and I was convinced that in the 10 or 15 minutes' time our wheels were further submerged in the water than usual. Our ship seemed to right herself somewhat after getting the deck weight upon the larboard, but it was too evident that Captain Luce himself, as well as all hands, was becoming aware of our dange danger, outfrom u , c and , frothemorsteam pumps , tremendous volume was o f convinced water being thrown we were making water at a fearful rate. Then came in fell view before us the other vessel, presenting a most heart rending spectacle ; the whole of her bow,for at least ten feet abaft her cutwater, was literally crushed away, leav ing to all appearance an open entrance for the sea, and how she had remained above water for so many minutot seemed a mystery. Her decks were covered with people, and all of her sails on all three of her masts were set. We merely passed her again, and she was in less than a minute hid in mourning ur n n heard g arise a f t r h o e m fo h g e , r b d u ec t k s a ca l r o c u e d ly a o n u d t g o e f ne s r ig a h l t w w at h l 0 0 1 . nd lamentation that told us of their burial en masse. I should think there were at least two hundred souls on the deck of that ship. It was just previous to, or at the same time that we thus came in sight of and her,passed individuals that in our wheels w e h w e a e t l o s r went w ooverit as tawhoooart and three crewsepa rate who had evidently left the other ship for safety on ours. One man only we picked up- an old weather-beaten French m a fi h s h e e w r m e n a t n u , n who having der, our wheel, leaped caughtfr from a r t o hesmall po hanboat hanging ng from before ou r ship, and was finally pulled on board of us, and from whom wo learned something of the other vessel. Captain Luco had, by the time of our coming in sight of the Vesta, be come so convinced of our own critical situation, that our only or best chance was to keep under headway as fast as possible towards the land. A deep-seated, thoughtful look of despair began to settle upon every countenance—no ex citement, but ladies and children began to collect on deck with anxious and inquiring looks, receiving no hope or con gelation, wife and husband, father and daughter, brother • and sister, would weep in each other's embrace, or kneel together imploring Almighty God for help. Men would go about the decks is a sort of bewilderment as to what was best to he done ; now laying hold of the hand pumps with redoubled energy, or with sickening effort applying their power to the hauling up of freight out of the forward hold, already floating in water before the lower hatches were opened. System of management 6r concentration of effort was never commenced or ap plied to any one object. Two separate ineffectual at tempts to stop the leaking by dropping a sail down over the bow were made, and the engines were kept working the ship a-head toward the land ; but, -in the course of an hour, I should think, from the time of the collision, the lower furnances were drowned out and the steam pumpsuweas question a ly bo a v q e The first officer, with his boat's crew , wo had left behind of f h how minutest seemed to e become would boen I s n to a p n p y e b d o . u T re he o n r from the first. The second officer , with a l o t o f the s a i lors , had lowered another boat and left the shi p , and a g eneral s crambling seemed to be going on as to who should have places in the only two remaining boob; that I saw on deck. Tim stern tackling stf antstlier had ,giveu way from the weight of persons in it while it was swinging over the side, and I think several must have been lost with that. I saw one lady hanging to the bow tackle of it after the stern had broken loose. One of those still remaining was a large one on the quarterdeck occupied by ladies and children, and some few gentlemen. The other was on the upper deck forward and in the possession of a lot of firemen. Things were in this condition at about two hours after the accident. Captain Luce was superintending the lowering of spars and yards, aided mostly by passengers, for the purpose of makin ,, a raft, and c om pl a i n i ng tha t a ll hi s officers and men had loft him. Most of the women and children were collected round the boat on the quarter-deck, seemingly resigned to their fate. Some few gentlemen exerted all their powers to prevail on others to work on at the pumps, but all to no purpose ; the ship kept on gaining in q uantity as steadily as time progressed. The engines had stopped working, and I, seeing that the chief engineer, with some of his assistants and firemen, had got the forward boat in the water over by the bow, under the pretence of working at the canvass which was hanging over the bow, 5° as to sink it down over the leaking places, but seeing as I thought symptoms of their real intention to get off from the ship without too many in the boat, I dropped myself clown near by them on a small raft of three planks about a foot wide each, and 10 or 12 feet long, and an inch in thickness , lashed together with sumo rope and four handspikes, and which I had just previously helped to lower into the water for the purpose of working from about the how of the ship. Finding it bore me up I shoved off, inten di n g to get against doing alongside of the engineers' boat, but as I shoved off, several firemen and o ne or two passengers dropped into the beet, the engi neer protesting theirng se, and at the' same time pushed off and pulled a way from the ship, with about 12 or 15 persons in his boat, declar i ng t o those on board, a t the seine time, that he was going o ff, but would stay b y the ship he, or those in the boat with him, continued to pull away in what I considered was the direction of the land, and were in a few minutes lost in a fog. I now saw there was board tryingw e were d p o e i no probable chance for me but to remain . where I was, On to the last. At the same time my frail little craft, until I could see some better chance after or before the ship wont down. She bad now settled down to the wheel houses. The upper furnaces had for some time been drowned out. People o the hinges—sway ing• else seemed to present itself, as means of saving g sp lo r t a h o inz r but boa rfiarianngdsi tearing gnal g bans o o r f s d o i s ff: yes of some three hundred souls still truss, ss on board. I ha've crossed the Atlantie 9 times now, and nearly every previous time have had in my charge ono or more 'of my family or near relative, but now I thanked my God that I had not even an acquaintance with me in this my adversity. I tightened up my little raft as well as I could, so as to make it withstand the buffettings and strainings of the heavy rolling sea, and with the aid of a long narrow piece of plank, which I tore up off th e others, using it - s a paddle, I kept hovering hundred within about two sinking ship, watching operations there, and keeping myself from being drifted out of sight, so as to have what company there might be left on rafts like my own rfter our doomed vessel had sunk beneath the surface. In this position I saw three different small rafts like my own leave the ship, one of them with three, and another with two of the firemen standing erect on them, and one of the mess boys of the ship sitting on it. Those three rafts all drifted close by me, so near that I was hailed by one and another of them, with the request for us all to keep near together, to which I assented, but told them that wo hail all better try and keep by the ship till she went down. And this tune I noticed that the largo boat which had been on the quarter-deck was in the water, and was being freighted pretty fully, to all appearance, with several women, and a good number of men, and that the raft of spars was at the same time being lashed together, several getting on it. I noticed also a cou pl e o f large e m pt y water casks lashed together with five men on them, apparently passengers, leave tho ship, and drifting towards me, while within about 50 yards, they capsized with the force of a heavy swell, giving their living freight an almost immediate watery grave. Three of them I noticed regained the top side of the casks only to be immediately turned over again, and the casks separating I saw no more of them. My heart sickened at so much of immediate death, and still I almost longed to have b een one o f th em , f or a t th e same instant, and near as I can judge at about half-past four, the ship began to disappear; stern foremost she en t ere d un d er th e surface, her b ow rising a little as she slowly went under, and I distinctly heard the gurgling and rushing sound of the water filling her cabins from stein to stern as she went under, taking, 1 should think, from thirty seconds to a minute in disappearing, with a largo num ber of people still upon her deck. Thus went clown the noble Arctic, leaving nothing but a mixture of fragments of the wreck and struggling human beings. I saw one large halt round fragment burst above the sur face and several of the struggling fellow mortals get on it ; this and the raft of spars with several on it, and the boat full Of people, was all that I could distinctly make out as being loft in the neighbourhood of whore the ship went down to windward, and the three small rafts to leeward along with my own were left to pass the night, now beginning to close in upon and hile away from my sight—l wish I could say from my memory— this dreadful day ; but such a night of extreme melancholy despair and utter loneliness I hope I shall never again ex perience. I had, it is true, become familiarised with death, and felt as if it would be a greet relief to go immediately like the rest; and for this end I, with somewhat of satis faction, thought of the phial of laudanum in my pocket, pre viously intended for a better use ; but, oh ! how unpre pared was I to sea lay God, and for any family's Mk() 149 w necessary I felt it was for me still to live a while longer, else would I have emptied that phial or rolled over the side of my plank most willingly. The night was cold and chilly, the dense fog was saturating my already wet clothing. I was standing up to the ankles in th e wa t er , w ith th e waves every now and then washing me up above the knee; no hope in my mind of being drifted to the land, and in a part of the ocean where it is believed a thick fog continually hangs over the surface, precluding the hope of any chance vessel in passing near us being aware of our situation—all circumstances seemed to say, it is but a question of how long the physical frame can endure this perishing state, or how long before a more boisterous sea turns over or separates the slightly fastened planks. Thos reflecting, I offered up to Him who ruleth the winds and the waves--to Him unto whom we all flee in our deepest distress—a sincere petition for mercy, that, as I had now beou called to account, I might, notwithstanding my unworthiness, find an acceptance through the merits of Him who suffered for us, and who stands ready to aid, and who says, " Knock and it shall be opened unto you"—unto whom can we look, oh ! our God, but unto Thee? Our whole life is, after all, but as this hour—a mere ques tion of a few short days; and what are •all the mere vani ties transpiring during an ambitious and short existence compared to an assurance which maketh our latter end a fearless one? Relieved and consoled by this, my last pe titiou, I was somewhat calmly resigning myself to await my time as long as my strength and power of endurance could hold out, when I discovered close by me a large square basket lined with tin, floating lightly by me—one of the steward's dish-baskets it proved to ho, and paddling .up to it, I got it on board, and with the help of a piece of small rope I had round my shoulders, I lashed it pretty firmly on top of the plank, thus not only tending to make my raft more secure, but affording me a comparatively dry place to sit on the edge of it, and with my feet inside form ing a shelter for my legs up as high as my knees. After eet ting this all arranged, and while sitting watching the waterb every now and then dashing over the top of it, and becom ing convinced that it would soon be partly filled and add to my discomfort, as well as to the weight of the raft, I was again surprised to hear a distinct rattle against the side of the raft, which proving to bo a small air-tight tin can—a part of a set of such used as a life-preserver - -I seized 1244 of, it as an additional token of the presence of a pro te-cHVg Piovidattee: I Cut oat one end of it with my pocket and r feund it to answer the purpose of what, above anything else, Itben needed—a baling pot—and by which I was enabled to keep my little shelter clear of water ; and so acceptable as a protecti on f rom the cold damp tii revealed, tnmy sight the into he dawnnsde thus keeping to not ht blast did I find this little willo w h ouse , th a t I soon found myself i s cramped only my feet and legs, but the l o w er p ar t o f m y body some what warm. In this sort of s it ua ti on I wore awa y the ed nothing but thick mist, th e unceas i ng ro lli ng waves , an d tedious night, n d d owi l breaking my own little barque ; not a single vestige of all else that the night closed upon was now to be seen. About mid day the sun cleared away the mist, and the heat of his rays was truly grateful, but oh how desolate in its very cheerfulness seemed th e p ros p ec t h e th us unfolded ! Over the whole broad expanse of waters not a sail could be seen, not a thing save the figures of the two firemen, about half a mile distant, still standi ng erec t and showing themselves at intervals, as every h eav y swe ll raised them on its crest. I had not yet felt either hunger or thirst, for which I was truly thankful, for I had but a hand ful of dry broken crackers in my hat, which I felt deter mined to save tp the last, and of course no water. I dreaded the craving of either. The day wore on still clear until about an hour before nightfall, when the two firemen (within hailing distance of whom I had worked my way again) discovered a ship under full sail broadside towards us, but it was with faint hopes of success that I hoisted my handkerchief tied to the end of the strip of wood I was using as a paddle, the firemen doing the same with a shorter piece of wood in their possession. The ship at one time, we noticed, lay to, or altered her course for a moment, giving us a hope that she had discovered something, but the night closed in again, and with it all hopes of a rescue. I passed through this night in a dozing, dreary, shivering, half sensible sort of state, with all sorts of fan cies before my drowsy and somewhat disordered mind, and all sorts of pictures in my wakeful moments, both of a pleasing and of a revolting character, floating before me on the dark surface of the water. Now and then, during the night, I fancied myself hailed by various sur rounding parties, convinced as I was, at the same time, that none others were within hailing distance but the two firemen. My disordered fancy, however, kept me for more than half the night in au agreeable state of excitement, under the firm belief that com panies of boats' crews were on tho search for us, and most lustily did I answer every fancied or real signal. The morning dawned again, and with it a horrid scone of despair at the gloomy prospect of the same dense, foggy at mosphere, now and then fully developing to view the same two erect figures dancing about on the rolling surf, and, in my selfish liberality, I bargained with myself that I would endure still during this day, seeing that my two companions, who were obliged to be on their feet support ing each other in a very precarious looking, back-to-back attitude, wore able still to exist. I felt a little hungry this morning. and ate half a biscuit. While warming my self by about two hours' paddling up towards them, during which the fog partly cleared away, and while close to them, we all became excited at the sight of a sail far to the south, as I thought, but broadside towards us. Like the one on the previous evening, I had little hope of her com ing much nearer, but being determined to leave no effort untried which might possibly attract their notice, I stripped myself, and taking off my shirt tied it by the sleeves to the end of my paddle, and, with my handkerchief on a small strip of wood tied on above it, I thought I had a tolerably conspicuous signal, and waved it to and fro for more, than an hour, until the ship was nearly out of sight; and just as I had lowered it in utter hopelessnes; we all descried at the same instant, in the opposite direction, another sail, and on to us, just entering, as it were, into our gran. amphitheatre, through a cloud of mist that seemed to rise and clear away above the vessel, forming a gr 'nd triumphal archway around our eureka, like a tower of promise, in the centre. When within three miles of us, and about an hour and a.laelf after she first hove io sight, wo were relieved by her backing her sails, altering her course, and lying to for , a while; then, hoisting a signal on her spanker-gaff, she put about and bore away, on and on far in the distance on the opposite tack, until my heart began to fail again, doubting whether she was beating to windward for us, or had gone on her way, rejoicing in the discovery and rescue of only a portion of the unfortunate wretches within range of her. But again how light and buoyant was the joy as she at last put about, and stood directly for us ; and on and on she advanced like a saving angel, until we could see her noble-looking hull distinctly rise and fall within little over a mile distant from us, when she backed her sails again and waited for some time in the prosecution of her mission of mercy, no doubt relieving some of our scat tered companions from a like precarious state. Soon she filled away again, and at last, lying to close by the two firemen, I saw hor boat lowered with five men in it, who, picking up the two firemen in their course, came dashing along direct for my raft, and, soon bouncis alongside, I allowed myself to tumble on board of them, unable, physically, to adopt anything of a , graceful action, and morally overpowered with gratitude to God and to those His instruments. I re mained speechless until I got on board the ship. Before getting on board, however, the boat went away off some distance to wind ward, and picked up the three other fire men whom I had seen leave the Arctic, but who had been ever since out of view. We all got huddled upon thealeck somehow, although rather awkwardly, and making my way down to her neat littlecabin as well as my stiff feet and legs would allow, I had the pleasure of paying my respects to Capt. J. Russell, and found myself on board the ship Cambria, of Greenock, bound from Glasgow for Quebec. Capt. Russell, the Rev. Mr. Walker of the Free Church of Scotland, end his very kind and attentive wife ; Mr. Sutherland, of Caith ness-shire, in Scotland ; Mr. John Wt./aught, and several of the passengers of the steerage paid us every attention that I could have desired; Captain Russell giving me up the berth which he hail been using himself, and putting everything on board in requisition that might tend in the least to relieve and make us comfortable. I was sur prised to learn that the old Frenchman whom wo had picked up from the Vesta was our good genius on this occasion. Being directly in the track of the approaching Cambria, lie was picked up by the second mato of the Cambria, Mr. Ross, jumping overboard with a lino, and, seizing hold of the old man, they were both pulled on board, and the rescued Frenchman, in the best English he could muster, made Captain Russell aware that others were near. He then wont to the masthead, and with his glass made out the other four pieces of wreck which we were all ou, and making his long tack to windward, came back in the midst of us, picking up first, from that half - round piece of wreck that I saw burst above the surface at the time of the ship going under, Captain Luce, Mr. George F. Allen, of the Novelty Works, and a young German, a passenger of tke Arctic, by the name of Ferdinand Kayo. They, along with eight others of those who went down with ,the ship, had gained this piece of wreck, which turned out to be a segment of ono of the piddle-boxes ; and singular it seems that Captain Luce, who had stuck by his sinking ship to the last minute, was thus saved at last on the very boards which, as comman der, were his post of duty. The same thing, however, had caused the death of an interesting son, by striking or falling on him as it burst above water. The eight others who had gained it with them had from time to time perished ou it, and Mr. Kayo was on the point of snaking the Bluth, when the Cambria hove in sight. He had be come almost a lunatic from extreme thirst, from eating biscuit soaked in sea water, and attempting to a que i T hi t s by blood sucked from veins in his arm, p e lf e s n e e vera w l times. penknife, and attempted to drown une Mr. Allen, until He had been prevented by Capt. Luce and when h longer endurance seemed impossible with him, te Cambria appear. Mr. ed• Allen, too, although saved himself , had too much reason to fear the loss of his wife and several other relatives who were on board, and whom he saw placed on the raft of spare before the ship went under. I found those throe, my companions, in thecebin of the Cambria, and being attended to like myself. The old Frenchman and the five firemen were comfortably quartered away in the forecastle, all suffering much, the old man having lost his " compagnon du voyage," the mess bo y , who held out as long as ho could, but finally rolled overboard. In the course of a few days we all began to got round and feel pretty well, with the exception of the severe pains in our feet, which continue with very little intermission, and at the same time it is most congenial to our feelings that, through the leadership of Mr. Walker, we have the daily opportunity of rendering praises and thanksgiving to a gracious God for his mercy and goodness towards us. Captain Russell fools the circumstance of his instrumen tality in the matter with great gratification on account of Captain Nye, of the Collins steamer Pacific, having some years ago run great risk in saving him and his crew from • off the sinking Jessie Stevens, its a severe gale in the Atlantic. THE WAE. FEELING AT MANCHESTER.—The desire amongst the citizens of Manchester for intelligence from the seat of war is daily increasing. The clubs, the Ex change, the Athenmum, the Portico, and every place in which the telegraphic despatches are published, are crowded every morning ; and on the arrival of the Lon don daily jou rnals, the various news-rooms and news venders' shops aro besieged. To satisfy this intense desire, the newsvenders have frequently found it neces sary to affix one or more of the London daily papers in their windows, the contonts of which are eagerly devolved by numerous crowds. OFFICIAL TISIT TO PORTSMOUTH. Rear-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., M.P., Lord of the Admiralty, went to Portsmouth yesterday, and visited the sailing squadron at Spithead, whose crews will be draughted into steam sea-going ships. TROOPS FOR THE EAST. The Robert Lowe steam-transport, one of the steam squadron of Mr. W. S. Lindsay, of London, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, to take in the following troops for the East, which embark this day : Officers. Serjeants. Men. 4th Regiment - 1 ... 2 ... 100 28th Regiment 1 ... 3 ... 150 Rifle Brigade Scots Fusiliei Guards 2 ... 0 ... 0 44th Regiment Medical Staff 1 ... 0 ... 0 RUSSIAN PRIZES. Yesterday the Marshal of the Court of Admiralty made public proclamation on the Royal Exchange that the Russian ship Themis, of which N. Lorentzen was late the master, would within 20 days be condemned and sold for the benefit of. her Majesty's ship Cruiser, by which she was captured. The decrees of the - Court have been issued for the sale forthwith of the following Rus sian ships, condemned as lawful captures : —The Dwina, prize tp her Majesty's ship Miranda ; the Bog Noja Na &sells., a prize to the Miranda ; the Carl Magnus, prize to her Majesty's steamer Conflict ; the Etnelie, prize to her Majesty's steamer Bulldog ; and the Furcht Bischoff Albrecht, seized in the port of Dundee, under simulated papers. ARRIVAL OF THE VALOROUS AT MALTA. By a letter from Malta, dated the 27th ult., her Ma jesty's steamer Valorous is reported to have arrived there that day at 8.m., having left the Rock on the evening of the 21st of the same month. They report her having had a very heavy passage out ; strong westerly cross sea swells were encountered crossing the bay. The medical officers for the army in the East who took passage by her were quite prostrated by sea sickness. The Valorous only remained at Malta one day. She left on the 28th at 6 p.m. laden on both decks with as much powder and provisiois as she could carry. On her passage out she passed the Salamander on the 20th off Cape St. Vincent, and on the same day she passed the screw•steamer Danube ; both these vessels were homeward bound. There was no man-of-war either at the Rock or Malta on her arrival at those places. MILITARY. The Canadian Screw Steam Navigation Company, whose fast and commodious vessels ply between Liver pool and Quebec, are rendering important aid in the transportation of troops. On Saturday the Charity brought over a detachment of the 54th Regiment and a company of Royal Artillery from Quebec, who were em barked on board the Princess Royal, for conveyance to Glasgow, on the same evening. On Saturday also the Ottawa, belonging to the same company, left the Mersey for Portsmouth, having on board 9 officers, 9 surgeons, and 450 rank and file, belonging to the 7th, 23d, 77th, and 97th Regiments, and 50 men of the 2d battalions of the Rifle Brigade. On Sunday the Cleopatra sailed from Liverpool, for Queenstown, with 2 officers, 1 serjeant, and 50 rank itnd file of the 42d ; and 2 officers 1 ser jeant, and 40 rank and file of the 93d Regiment. On arriving at Queenstown she will embark detachments of the 21st, 30th, 33d, 47th, 50th, 55th, and 68th Regi ments, all for the Crimea. The under-mentioned officers at Chatham garrison have obtained leave of absence for the periods herein stated :—Capt. Wm. Henry Dory, from the sth Nov. to sth Jan., 1855; Ensign Guinn, 99th, to 31st Dec. ; Captain Francis H. Synge, 43d Regiment, to 29th Nov.; Captain Henry Edw. Burnside, Glat Regiment, to 29th November next. The 56th Regiment is on its passage home from Ber- muda, and is to commence recruiting to 1,200 men strong ; the regiment is for service in Turkey in the spring. DUBLIN, Monday.—Lieut.•Colonel Fraser, 72d, has arrived and taken command of the regiment in Lime. rick. Capt. Morrison, Royal Engineers, has succeeded Cap. min Dill, R.E., in Limerick. Colonel Doyle will arrive in Dublin next week, and re-assume his position on the Irish staff. Major• General J. Eden commands at Kilkenny. Major-General G. M. Eden, of, the Guards, formerly 56th, commands at Plymouth. It-is necessary to state this, as it was reported that Kilkenny district was dis pensed with as a staff command. THE MILITIA. Wit , rnson, Monday.—On Saturday last an order arrived from the Horse Guards at the Infantry Barracks in Sheet-street, directing the Essex Rifles (East Essex Militia) to march to Weedon barracks on Wednesday next, and remain there in garrison until further orders. The Royal Bucks (King's Own) Regiment of Militia are now lying at Weedon, and were to relieve the Essex Rifles at Windsor on the same day. This morning, however, the order to march was countermanded, and it is understood that the Rifles will not take their departure until to-morrow week, the 14th instant. THE ARMY IN INDIA. The following complimentary order has been issued by the Commander-in-Chief in India : " (No. 4d). " Head-quarters, Simla, Aug. 22, 1854. " 1. The extensive brevet which has recently taken place has had the effect of removing, by promotion from the staff of the presidencies of Bengal and Madras, various superior officers of her Majesty's army, many of whom have served with much distinction, proudly recorded in the active operations of the armies of India ; and all of whom have rendered essential service in the exercise of provisional and brigade command in the period that has since elapsed.

Sir William Gomm is desirous of recording his sense of the cordial assistance which he has received generally at the hands of these distinguished officers throughout the term of his holding the Indian command, to which assistance, in the operation with that tendered, in a corresponding spirit as superior officers of the Hon. Company's forces, he mainly attributes the sound state of discipline and perfect readiness for any service in which the entire army of India is seen to stand at this day. "3. To Lieutenant-General W.

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE AMEND MENT OF THE LA. TV. A general meeting of this society was held last eve ning at the rooms in Regent-street, Edward Cooke, Esq., in the chair. After some preliminary business, the society proceeded to the notice on the agenda, "To read a paper on partnership, on the principle of limited liability ;. and, 2. To refer the subject, in its different relations, to the standing committees of the society." Mr. Edgar then proceeded to read the paper on part nership on the principle of limited liability. He had taken under his best consideration the principles which prevailed in the United States of America and on the the Continent of Europe ; the evils and hardships which a system of unlimited responsibility entailed on indi viduals, and the fetters which it placed upon legitimate speculation and commercial law. He recommended that the liability should be limited to tho capital invested by each member of a firm. It was recommended that the different committees of the society should each take a branch of this subject under its care. To meet the ob jections raised by Committees of the House of Commons against limited liability, he urged that there were many towns where, if the limited liability were admitted, many small capitalists would be found ready to embark in various manufactures. If there were a fear of rivalry on the part of great commercial societies, he ventured to think that the general interests of the country would always lead to new markets for enterprise and the in vestment of capital. He advocated the principle of limited liability, because it would enable the working classes to unite together, and to join with their employ ers, while it would tend to the general advantage and happiness of the working classes. The learned gentle ' man's paper was cordially received ; and, alter some discussion, the matter was referred to the committee en the commercial law, with a request from the society that they do tak e the same into consideration as soon as possible. Also that Messrs. Pitt, Taylor, Collier, and Power he requested to act as members of such commit tee. The paper was ordered to be printed.

THE INDIRECT TRADE WITH RUSSIA. (From the Examiner.) To ,hurt our enemy, shall we resort to measures to distress our own commerce ? So foolish a question does not call for answer. But really the question we have stated is included in the question that has been raised, whether it is not expedient to take steps to sup press the indirect trade with Russia ? The fact to be dealt with is that, notwithstanding the war, we continue to get what we want from Russia, and that which can not be supplied to us at the same price and of the same quality from any other quarter ; and the question is. whether we should refuse ourselves the supply of our wants in order to affect Russia with the loss of the sale of her raw materials The short answer to this is, on which . side would the balance of injury lie, or which side would be the greater loser by their common injury ? For the war of the market is like the war of the field; the battle cannot be fought without damage and loss to both buyer and seller, and the party who suffers most in the conflict is the defeated. It would then remain to be asked whether Russia or England was the greater gainer by the trade between the two, which would be resolved into another question, about the aziswer to which there can be no doubt, namely, whether a trade in raw mate rials, or a trade of manufactures, is the more valuable ? If the indirect commerce with Russia could be extin guished altogether, our conviction is that we should suffer more than our enemy from the common injury. And as our trade supports the war, how should we be the bet ter enabled to wage the war with vigour and suc cess by impairing what supports it ? But the truth is, that it is out of our power to suppress the Russian trade —as much out of our power to suppress our wants of necessaries as to suppress the supply of them—and all that could be done by expedients for the exclusion of Russian goods would be putting them through a more circuitous channel, or passing them through the manu factories of neutral nations to the loss of our own. If Russian tallow and Russian hemp were kept out, ean dies of Russian tallow, and cordage of Russian hemp wouli infngetob, phrase, ,P Tin in," despite of certifi cates of origin: - .seitY afiait'expidiarit ferthwarting the natural laws of demand and supply. Napoleon at the height of his power tried the experi ment of damming the streams of trade, and he might as well have attempted a millhead to Niagara. The conti nent was flooded with English goods in response to the Milan decrees. And when, at the breaking out of this war, the neutral rights were enlarged, much to the honour of the Govern ment and the satisfaction of the country, what was ex pected but precisely what has happeaed ? We hailed that change as the best guarantee for keeping the war within its present bounds ; but we foresaw without any regret that its effect upon the enemy's commerce would be diminution, not suppression, and such diminution only as must necessarily attend any derangement of the usual course of trade, or passing it through an indirect channel. But displeasure is felt that Prussia is the gainer by her mean subserviency to Russia ; and because she is the gainer, are we, for spite, to make ourselves losers ? So lung as Prussia may be regarded as a neutral, she is en titled to the enlarged rights conceded to neutrals, and when her ill offices or undisguised hostility shall warrant measures against her, they will be of another sort than diverting the transit of Russian goods from her territory. It is to be remembered, moreover, that Prussia is a road traversed in both directions, and that British ma nufactures find their way through it to Russia, as well as Russian produce to our markets ; and, with a very obvious intention, Russia has lowered its import duties upon articles entering from Prussia, among which are English manufactures. But we may be told our exports are small compared with our imports from Russia ; but comparatively small as they were, 1,200,0001., they bore an enormously en hanced value in the. Russian markets, and Russia would probably lose as much in wealth in losing those imports as in losing her exports of raw produce. Still, it is not to bo denied that the value of the Russian imports into this country has exceeded the value of the British exports to Russia, perhaps by some 2,000,000/. or more ; but, whatever the difference may have been, it has been paid circuitously by English manufac tures, represented generally by equivalents to colonial produce. But if gold had been the commodity instead of sugar, or any other article of consumption, the only observation to be made on the fact would be that we wanted tallow, hemp, or hides, more than we wanted the gold with which we paid for them. The truth, how ever, is, that the exchange is still about par, or rather somewhat in our favour. To illustrate our argument generally, suppose we wanted a fleet rigged to fight against the Russians. The hulls, the masts, the yards, and spars, all are prepared, except the shrouds, the halliards, tacks, sheets, &c. Should we, in such case, refuse ourselves the use of cordage, the raw material of which was Russian, and leave our ships to rot as lumber in port ; or should we fit them with the help of the enemy's produce, and apply them to the destruction of his power ? Every gain of our trade is so much added to our strength and our means of combating and subduing the enemy. And even if the enemy gained in the same pro portion (which we do not admit), the equality would leave us the superior strength of the superior commerce, our trade being to the Russian more than eight to one. But if we could contrive to extinguish both the Rus sian trade. and our own connected with it, the effect would be like starving a strong man and a weak man before a combat, divesting the first of his superiority, and reducing both to the same level. England, it is true, has h'er commercial greatness independent of her trade with Russia, but why should she forego any ele ment of her strength, why impoverish herself to any de gree in order to impoverish a poor Power ? And what, after all, is the whole amount of the Russian commerce, her trade with the whole world, of which such great account is made t Why, exports of about the annual value of 14,000,0001., and imports to the annual value of 12,000,0001. . . The present commercial relations may be temporary or not—we believe the former; but be that as it may, we deprecate any deviation from the enlightened policy as to neutrals which has been adopted, and any inter ference with the currents of trade for which it has opened channels, TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AND GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AT ST. GEORGE'S-IN-TILE EAST. Yesterday morning, between the hours of five and six o'clock. the inhabitants of Coleman-street, St. George's in-the-East, were most painfully excited in consequence of a fearful explosion of fireworks, which, it is to be re gretted, was attended with the sacrifice of not fewer than five persons, and various injuries to several oth r persons, besides destroying a great deal of household furniture, wearing apparel, and other effects. It appears that for some years past a man named Watson, who carried on the business of a dairyman at No. 49 3 / 4 , Coleman-street, bad been in the constant habit of making fireworks to be sold on Guy Fawkes'-day. This season, it is stated, lie had been more than usually busy, and to complete an order had been obliged to work all Sunday night. At the time alluded to above, Mr. Watson had occasion to leave the house for a few minutes, and had barely entered the yard or court at the rear of the premises, when he heard his wife crying out " Fire !" most frantically. The man immediately made an attempt to get back into the house, knowing that his wife and several children were within the building. lle managed to get half-way through the passage when an explosion ensued, which struck terror amongst all re siding in the neighbourhood. The explosion had barely subsided, when sheets of flame of different colours, with crowds of sparks, and suffocating smoke rushed out of every window. At the same time the cries of those in the house became pitiable in the extreme. A chimney-sweep, who was passing at the moment, rushee into the building and succeeded in rescuing Mrs. Watson and one of her children, whom he brought down in safety. The husband of the unfor tunate woman also made every exertion to get to his other children, who it was feared were in their beds asleep. In so doing he became surrounded with a sheet 'of sul phurous flame, by which his arms, face, and neck were terribly burnt, and he was at length obliged to give up the attempt as hopeless. Explosions followed in rapid succession, and when they had spent themselves, the flames rolled forth from the various windows, and also through the roofs, shed ding a lurid glare over the whole district, which caused a general turn-out of the London fire brigade. The engines belonging to Well-close-square, Schoolhouse lane, Jeffrey-square, Watling-street, and Whitecross street stations were soon in attendance, and a plentiful supply of water having been procured from the mains of the East London Company, the firemen went to work most vigorously, in spite of which the flames continued to spread most fearfully, seizing upon every room in the place, clearly indicating that all who had not previously thereto been rescued must be burned to death. After the lapse of two hours the firemen succeeded in getting the conflagration extinguished, theywhe9 made a search of the ruins for the purpose of finding mis sing persons. After some time they discovered tlle the l h m u d r n i e e s d of th t a h t e the t h r r e e e m a u i i n ff a o e r f t i t ' n h a e t n e n ff c e h r i e l r d a r e tn n i , g i s f it o ea ri s th y t f ull havey , s havaiirligshb,eheandptriote be ti e e r e n d ' l O a c v e e d r t i o n n a , t h bodies removed to the dead house, there to remain until an inquest is held upon the m. e bushelbe ad b l e as o k t e S t. t.

CANADIAN PREPARATIONS FOR THE GREAT FRENCH EXHIBITION or 1855.—0ur Montreal correspondent writing on the 23d ult. sa y s :—" Sir Cusack Roney, the Hon. Francis Hincks, the Hon. John Ross, Sir Allan Ai‘..Nab, and Mr. Logan, geologicril surveyor to the pro vince, hare just been nominated a commission to secure a proper representation of the products of the country at the Exhibition, and it is 'stated that the Canadian Legislature will vote 10,0001, for the purpose: SEAFORD (SUSSEX). A meeting of the bailiff, jurats, and freemen of the corporation of this ancient town and port was held en the 2d inst. Mr. Henry Simmons (bailiff of Seaford) presided, and introduced the subject of the Patriotic Fund for relief of the widows and orphans of the soldiers, sailors, and marines tilain in the present war, and invited the co-operation of a local committee to carry out the be nevolent object agreebly to the Royal Commission. Mr. J. S. Turner (magistrate) proposed a vote of 5/. from the corporation funds in behalf of the Patriotic Fund. _ Mr. James Booker seconded the motion, which was put to a show of hands by the chairman, and agreed to unanimously. A local committee has since been formed, consisting of the bailiff of the town and corporation, the resident magistrates, the vicar, tradesmen, &c., for collecting subscriptions, and the readiness with which p ersons of all classes contribute is a gratifying proof that we are engaged in a necessary and popular war. Meetings have also been held in Liverpool, Ports. mouth, Leamington, Warwick, Monmouth, Derby, Arundel, Hythe, Penzance, Falmouth, Torquay, North. umberland, Ballivasloe, Waterford, Nenagh, King's County, and Tullamore, at all of which places handsome sums were collected. - - ----- FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE IVMT LONDON RAILWAY. Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, at the Lord Wellington, University-street, Tottenham court-road, on the body of Charles Turner, aged 26, a breaksman in the employ of the London and North- Western Railway Company. James Turner, brother of the deceased, having iden tified the body, Frederick Laker was sworn. He deposed that he was under-breaksman, and had been employed for some time under deceased. On Friday last, on arriving between Kilburn and Sudbury, on the junction of the London and North-Western Railway, deceased got over the top of some coal waggons for the purpose of unhooking a portion of the train which was to remain at the Kilburn station ; while doing so, the c oa l gave way, and de ceave sed both fell his legs.upon the rail, som e o f the waggons passing or Coroner—Then he attempted to unhook the carriages before the train came to a stand. Was there any occa sion for him to have done so 7—Witness —lris object was to save time, as the Aylesbury passenger train wa s dae, and he was anxious to proceed, so as to leave the limo clear for it. Fatenination .continued—Had seen deceased do the, same upon one other occasion. He wail not directed by, any rule of the company to do so. — "Ere had been in thli company's service three years, and was upon the point of being married. He was quite sober at the time. The train was behind time at starting, and they had bad luck on the road, a coupling-iron having broken. Imme diately after the occurrence of the accident the train was shunted into the siding, and, the passenger train coming up. deceased was conveyed in it to the Euston station, and thence to the University College Hospital. By the Jury--There was no medical man called at the time of the accident, nor wore the wounds bandaged. A handkerchief was tied round one leg, which bled a great deal. He could not state the exact distance from the Euston station, but they were about th ree - quar t ers o f an hour doing the distance, including a stoppage at Camden. The Coroner considered that the place where the acci dent occurred was rather remote, and that the very best • thing that could be clone had been done. Henry Kiallmark, house-surgeon at the University College Hospital, described the injuries sustained by the deceased. The jury consulted for a short time, and returned a verdict of accidental death. SUSPECTED MURDER AT ROCHESTER. ROCHESTER, MONDAY.—A most painful degree of ex citement was experienced in this city and neighbourhood the whole of yesterday, in consequence of the discovery early that morning of the body of an exceedingly fine young woman, with her throat cut, and lying in the ditch adjoining the land-wall, just above Rochester bridge, in a place known as Mr. Wickenden's meadow, quite dead. The discovery was made by two men, named Tidey and Walker, who, on proceeding round the land-wall, about half-past six that morning, • had their attention arrested by seeing a bonnet and shawl lying on the top of the wall. It was scarcely light at the time, but after looking about for some little distance they discovered the body of a female lying across the ditch, partly out of the water, the head and face being in the slimy water, of which there was about a foot in the ditch at the time. Having procured the assistance of a police-constable, the body was taken out, when it was perceived that deceaFed had received a severe cut across the throat, but although every search was made by the constable and others, no razor, knife, nor instru ment of any kind, with which the wound could have been inflicted, was discovered. The body having been removed to the Queen's Arms public-house, inquiries were set on foot for the purpose of discovering who the deceased was, and in the course of Sunday it was ascertained that her name was Mary Ann' Saunders, aged about 27, the daughter of Mr. Saunders, who keeps as Alton ale-house called the Golden•cross, High street, Chatham, and that she was last seen alive on the preceding (Saturday) evening, when she left her father s house in a rather hurried manner. The place in which the body lay is a very lonely one, and far removed from any house, the land wall, as it is called, sweeping cut to a bend in the river, and was built for the purpose of preventing the tide flowing over the adjacent marshes. The bonnet and shawl belonging to the deceased were found lying at some distance from each other, and the latter was covered with blood on certain parts, as if used, by what ever individual it was who inflicted the wound, to atop the fl )w of blood. A piece of rag, completely saturated with blood, was also found pushed tightly into deceased's bosom, - There were no marks of struggling apparent near the place where the body was lying, the supposition being that deceased must have had her throat cut first, and then placed in the situation as described. On the pockets of deceased being searched, only a few trifling articles were found, but no money. This is in itself fraught with suspicion, as deceased was well known to be always with a supply of money in her possession, being in the habit of assisting her father at the bar. During the whole of Sunday the body was viewed by several magistrates and medical men, the latter of whom gave it as their opinion that the cut in the throat of de ceased was not sufficient to cause death, and that she must have been placed in the ditch at that retired spot, where she was suffocated by reason of her head and face being under the water. This morning a highly respectable jury was summoned by the coroner, Mr. J. Lewis, and assembled at the Guildhall, for the purpose of investigating the circum galices by which deceased met with her death ; and the above facts having been adduced in evidence, the inquiry was adjourned until Friday next.. The C , roner ordered that the keys found on the de ceased should be retained in the hands of the police till the conclusion of the inquest, and gave directions for the bores belonging to the deceased to be searched.

Before they could reach him he flung himself head foremost into the furnace, which was at that mo- ment filled with fifty tons of molten iron and glowing coke.
