Yesterday the High-Marshal to the Supreme Court of Admiralty gave notice, on the Royal Exchange, that Dr. Lushiagton, the Judge of that Court, would, within 20 days from the date of such notice, proceed to condemn the following Russian ships as lawful prizes to their captors—namely, the Johanna Emilie, Fidentia, Amercia, Aina, Nadescha, the Fenix or Phoenix, the Froya, and Livonia. The First Court of Admiralty for the condemnation of Russian prizes is appointed to be held in Doctors'-commons on the 22d inst. The schooner Victor, prize to the Euryalus, 51 guns, , crew steamship, Captain George Ramsay, arrived on ['uesday last at Sheerness from Hartlepool, having put Mt.) that port in consequence of the prize crew being 'hurt of provisions. On arrival the prizemaster corn .ounicated with the guardship for the day (the Tribune), ind at tidetime she was towed to the Nore by the - , team-vessel Adder, on her way to London. The Abo and "Eger, prizes to the Tribune, anchored at the Nore on Tuesday, and aftr the prizemasters had communi cated with the Tribune they proceeded on fur London. Yesterday another Russian prize, the Alexander, .vhich arrived at Gravesend on Tuesday, was deposited in the West India Docks. Advices were received yesterday at the Admiralty, under date Memel, the 13th of May, that her Majesty's ship Amphion, reported in several of the German jour oals to have keen captured by the Russians, and her crew made prisoners, were at the above date moored in Memel harbour, all well. The Royal Albert, 131 guns, screw steam-ship, was yesterday taken into the fitting basin at Sheerness ; she , vill be placed under the muting shears for the purpose ,f receiving her heavy machinery, boilers, &c., after which she is to be taken into No. 3 dry dock, to be ~oppered, and complete the necessary works to her hull. The Adder steam-vesbel, second-Muter in command James Mnuchin, from Chatham, left Sheerness at 11 30 4:nr:','-yeeterths”vivirrreaniennand marines for service in i.be Belleisle, 24 guns, now lying in the Downs, last from Portsmouth, on her way to the Baltic. The St. Vincent, 101, Captain Elliot, at Portsmouth, has been ordered to return her sails into store ashore. icy this we infer she is not intended for sea service. The Sprightly, steam-tender, Master-Commander :leorge Allen, left Portsmouth harbour yesterday morn ing for Brighton, to bring back the three boats of the ost steam -gunboat Jasper, which were left in charge of rite commanding officer of the Coast-guard station at that ,►lace. The Curacoa, 30, new screw steam•frigate, was placed i► No. 9 dock at Port- nouth yesterday to be coppered and hastened for commiBsion. The Calcutta, 82, Captain Stopford, having had her copper examined and repaired, was removed from the lock on Tuesday, and pl,tced alongside the jetty at Ply ,nouth, preparatory to being rigged. The paddle steam-sloop Stromboli, Commander N. i [all, sailed from Plymouth on Tuesday, to join the White Sea Squadron in the Downs. The frigate Portland, 50, is ordered to be rigged by he rigers of the Plymouth dockyard, and to be placed ordinary. The Indefatigable, 50, will, it is said, be iprought forward for active service in place of the Port- land. Yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, the second of the two screw-frigates, built for the Russian Government in Pitcher's dockyard, Northfleet, and, after being seized . 1 . the Customs, purchased by our Government, was .aunched in the presence of a large concourse of specta .ors, both in the yard, on the heights adjoining it, and .n an immense number of boats on the river abreast of it. rtie curiosity and desire of the public to see " one of the Russian prizes taken in Pitcher's dockyard," together with the remarkable fineness of the day, contributed no loubt to bring together so unusually great a number of people. The first of these twin ships intended for the Russian service was named "the Cossack." The one ,aunched now was named "the Tartar." The Tartar, Ike the Cossack, will be ship-rigged, and fitted with the ame number of guns. Her measurement is as fol- Ft. In. Length between the perpendiculars 195 0 Breadth extreme to a 4-inch plank BB 3 Depth in engine - room to m ain deck 2l 10i Length of engine - room 42 0 Burden in tons, 1,338 87-94. Engines by Mandalay, Sons, and Field, of Lambeth. The Tartar was towed up to the East India Docks to ake in her engines. The following notice was posted at Woolwich dock- Tard yesterday : " Letters for the Baltic fleet will be despatched by the tesistance and Belleisle on the 18th and 21st inst. from lie Downs, and letters for seamen, ma rines, and boys, serving in the Baltic fl et, if posted in time, and marked , y her Majesty's ship Resistance, or Belleisle, will, when iostage is prepaid at the Post-off. e, be forwarded by one it other of these ships.—Woolwich-yard, May 16,1854." The Royal Marines of the Woolwich division selected or service in the Powerful, 84, at Portsmouth, left their ,arracks at half-past 8 a.m. yesterday, and were played .n the dockyard station by the band of the division, vlience they proceeded en route to Portsmouth, to join .OWB heir ship. Intelligence was yesterday received that her Majesty's teamer iNlegmra, with troops, the Victoria steam trail ptort, with troops, as also the steam transpirts Albatros iirl Cambria, with troops, had pa-sed Gibraltar on the ;d and 4th inst., going eastward for Gallipoli. A correspondent of a London conteopporary, whose etter was published a day or two ago, incorrectly stated hat the Megmra is lying at Portsmouth to embark the 2,1. That steamer left Portsmouth on the 27th of 461 with a portion of the 33th, and the 42d embark 0-day on board the Hydaspes. The Sydney, hired steam transport, having embarked , large portion of a battering train and 18 horses, was aken out of the basin at Woolwich on Tuesday, and proceeded to Greenhithe to take on board powder from Purteet for conveyance to the East: t , The Jason, hired screw steam transport, haying taken horses on board in the basin at Woolwich, and a oattery and half a battery, was taken out on Tuesday, is her draught of water would not allow of more stores wing put on board in the basin, and at 6 p.m. left for Ireenhithe to take on board the remainder of her stores here. Some idea may be formed of the admirable facili Peg and excellent arrangements for embarking horses at ',Voolwich when it is stated that the Jason was taken oito the basin at 6 p.m. on Monday, and 80 horses put an board by a quarter to 9 the same evening, and on the text day 147 horses were put on board before 11 o'clock orenoon. Tuesday finished the embarkation of the I econd division of artillery for the East. Lieutenant :olonel Anderson, commanding the Field Batteries, ih-iga,de Major Bingham, and Captain Riddell were con taut in their attendance every day while the embarka ;ions were taking place, and Li utenant Robertson was qually constant in attending to the arrangements for die embarkation of both men and horses. Rear-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., and Captain Alexander Thine, Lords of the Admiralty, with Commodore John ihepherd, were present during the embarkation, and ,vhen the Jason went out of the basin, at 4 p.m., they returned to the Admiralty. Yesterday the directors of the East India Company took up a number of transports for the conveyance of 250 companies of troops from England to Calcutta. ['he vessels hired for the conveyance of the men are all about 400 tons burden ; they embark between the 15th sod 30th of June. In addition to the above, 1,000 rank and file embark at Cork for Calcutta the last week in June. On Monday afternoon the 63d Regiment was drawn op in heavy marching order in the Phoenix-park, Dublin, for the purpose of being inspected by Major-General Cochrane, commanding the Dublin district. This being the half-yearly inspection, the service and depot corn nanies were paraded together. The service companies being under orders for Greece, this inspection is likely o be the last which they will undergo previous to em nerkation. The regiment having opened ranks, the Major-General minutely inspected the men and their appointments. The General then proceeded to inspect the recruits, nearly 400 in number, and expressed his !ratification at their promising appearance. On Monday the splendid troop-ship Tyrone, Captain Knowles, completed the embarkation of the last section , f the officers, men, and horses of the 11th Hu , .sars. On the same evening, all things bein g completed and ready for sea, the Tyrone was moved from the pier to ter moorings in the centre of the harbour, the captain intending to put off to sea at 12 o'clock. on Tuesday. On that morning, however, 16 of her crew mutinied, and refused to work the vessel, and before the hour of sailing arrived they deserted her and came ashore. Eight of ; t h e m were taken into custody, amid on being brou..;hi be- Fore the police magistrate, and the complaint lodged against them, they were committed to Kilmainham gaol to abide their trial at the next commission.

THE RUSSIANS IN THE PACIFIC.—We stated yester day that the Russian 52 gun frigate Diana had left Val paraiso on the 23(1 March for the Sandwich Isla nds , and that the French 50- gu n fri g ate La Forte, Admiral de Latorente, had left Valparaiso for Callao. It appears that the French frigate arrived at Callao on the 6th of April. and that the British frigate President, 50, Captain Bur ridge, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Price, also let , Va,lpar iiso soon after the Russian and French, an,; arrived at Callao on the 7th April. Both ships remained there• on the 12th, eviie4Gly waiting tb.e . newtof the declaration of war with Russia, when they would con cert measures for capturing the Diana. By this time they have, doubtless, received their orders from home, when, we have no doubt, it will be so arranged that whilst one of the frigates pursues the Diana, and brings her to action, the other will wait of Valparaiso the ar rival of the other Russian frigate the Aurora from Rio, and do her best to capture her before she can reach a neutral port. THE RUSSIAN SQUADRON IN THE CHINA SEAS.—We learn by the overland telegraph, that the Russian squad ron that has been so long in the China seas left Ma nilla, March 18, for Batavia. We trust that they will not hear of the declaration of war before our Anglo- French squadrons take the intelligence and the enemy too at the same time. To effect this, however, we must employ the flagship Winchester, 50 ; Sybille, 40 ; En counter, 14, screw ; Ba,rra.coui.a, 6; Rattler, 9, screw ; and the two or three men-of-war the French have ,in China. They have, however, gone to a neutral port for the present, whither they must of course be followed, and not lost sight of. THE BLACK Sea..----The first promotion for the Rus sian war has been conferred upon a most deserving and lung-service officer—namely, on Commander John Boar ' master Dickson (1847). commander in Admiral Dundas's flag-ship Britannia. He has been promoted to the rank of captain for his gallant services in command of the rocket-boats at the bombardment of Odessa. about sailors, and it was a very natural observation of Mr. Wilkinson's clerk that " it they had been soldiers they could have been billetted." Mr. Borrer—Just so. They looked to their instruc tions, and found that they could do something for sol diers, but not fur sailors. Mr. Verrall was sure that there was no want of feel ing in the matter. Mr. White naturally did not like to take the responsibility upon himself of relieving them, and so risk whether the commissioners would allow the expenditure or not ; and the same with regard to Mr. Wilkinson's clerk. Lieutenant Pratt took them away three-quarters of an hour after they had been in the town. Here the matter ended. TIIE WAR IN TILE EAST. The balance is already turning against Russia. The Russian soldiers in the Dobrudscha (as we foretold some time ago) are dying off like rotten sheep. The inhabitants of Fokschany have risen in their rear, and burned their military stores. The accounts we published some days ago of victories gained over them at several points on the Danube are confirmed. The military de fences and military stores at the Russian Liverpool on the Euxine—Odessa —have been destroyed. The Russian Black Sea fleet is cooped up in Sebastopol. The Cir cassians have, without losing a moment, occupied and begun to repair the forts on their coast dismantled and deserted by their invaders. The French have already sent arms to these gallant mountaineers, and the English Are about to send an accredited agent to Scharhyl. These multiplying disasters of Russia in the South, if earnestly and promptly ,turned to account by the allies, will soon disabuse the Russian people of any misconcep,tions in stilled into them by official reports of their Government representing defeats as victorie-. In -the North, too, i affairs look louring on the Autocrat. He has declared St. Petersburg in a state of siege, and the suffering and discontent of the nobles and merchants there grow daily more alarming; a state of min-I not likely to be paci fied by any event reported to us from St. Petersburg— that on the 9th instant the British fleet had been seen within thirty miles of Cronstadt, and that a number of Russian gun-boats had been captured. In this dawn of promise for the good cause, every in dication of increased alacrity and improved organisation at head-quarters, is hailed with joy. Nor are such in dications wanting on this side of the Channel. Under the new Post-office management measures have already been adopted for redressing the complaints from the Baltic fleet of the postage charges and tardy and irre gular delivery of letters. A reinforcement of gun-boats will immediately-be sent off..to the fleet. - -In short, care is' evidently being taken to increase the efficiency of our armaments, and to keep our gallant crews in good spirits and temper. On the part of France, too, some not un important movements have to be chronicled. Prince Napoleon has arrived at Constantinople, where he ap pears to be winning golden opinions ; Marshal St. Arnaud was at Smyrna on the 6th inst., and was ex pected to reach Gallipoli on the morning of the 7th ; and the arrival of M. Bourke, " Minister Plenipoten tiary en mission to Constantinople," at Marseilles, is an nounced. We have no desire to press hard on a brave and skilful soldier, but it is re-assuring to learn that Gen. Baraguay d'Hilliers has been called back to his professional duties, where he is qualified to be of eminent service, instead of being allowed to remain at Constanti nople, where be has shown himself destitute alike of the tact and temper required in a diplomatist. " Let bygones be bygones" has been our maxim throughout these trans actions, whenever errors have been put in the way of amendment, and therefore we will not too critically scrutinise the palliations alleged for the strangely frac tious conduct of the General ; though—with the informa tion contained in a letter from Constantinople which we publish to-day, respecting the vexatious part acted by him in frustrating the transmission of 5,000 British troops to Varna and Kustendje—we cannot but rejoice heartily that others of his countrymen, endowed with more happy tempers, are about to supersede him in his present mission. This would • be welcome news, were it only that it shows that the General's eccentricities are strictly personal, and have given quite as much annoy ance to his own Government as to its allies. But more important immediate results may be looked for. Forces under the control of one will have an immense advan tage over antagonists whose instructions emanate from more centres of authority than one ; and the utmost mutual concession and temper are required on the part of co-operating allies to neutralise the inequality apt to arise from this source. _ But while we do justice to the indications of aug mented energy and improved management, visible in some more recent operations of our homy Government, it world be a dereliction of duty not to continue to prt-ss upon them the reparation of errors where no amend ment is yet apparent. When arguing tho plea tion of the comparative efigiblity of steamers and sailing vessels, as transports for the horses of the cavalry and artillery, we urged the danger of the animals being landed in a bad conditien (even such of them as survived), after being subj cie i to the tedious enleel of a tardy and uncertain pa'sage in a sailing transport. If the information conveyed to our Constautineple corres pondent be correct, our worst fears in this respect have beea more than realised. He states that he is iefornied that the mortality among the horses, on board of one transport only, hail risen, by the time it reached Malta, to an average of no less than from 10 to 12 daily. We would fain nourish the hope that there is exaggeration here, or that the case will prove exceptional ; but there is a fact stated in the letter referred to—respecting which our correspondent cannot have been misinformed, inasmuch as it has fallen under his own personal appre hensiop-calculated, to awaken livel3eut)ea,aittess in con riertitin with such it repoit.' Theehirrsi3 Markets, in Con .atantinaple and' known,s.tenat no time supply Cattle of power and blood equal to the average of the horses required for our cav alry and artillery ; and our correspondent adds that these markets have already been drained of the most available animals to an extent that will render retnanets costly and difficult in the event of his news from Malta proving strictly accurate.- These are considerations which ought to have the effect of inducing Govern ment to revise its judgment as to the class of transports that ought to be employed for the conveyance of horses to the East. It will be seen that the French know what they are about in such matters, for they have bought three huge English steamers for use as transports. Another point that cannot be too often or too strongly insisted upon is the urgent necessity that whatever is to be done in Greece and the Greek waters should he un dertaken without delay. Piracy, with all its old atro cities, is making giant strides there. The blo o d of peaceful English traders has already been shed, and if stringent measures of repression are not immediately adopted, who can tell how much more will be poured out ! It is enough that the blood of our soldiers and sailors is freely drained in just and inevitable warfare ; it is not to he tolerated that the blood of our unoffending and industrious non-combatants should be added to the crimson stream. No weight can be attached to allegations that the reports of piracies in the Archipe lago may be exaggerated. We know by sad experience of old that its creeks and narrow and intricate channels swarm with ruffians as unscrupulous as ever haunted the pirate resorts of Cuba. And the mere belief that Greek piracy is again rearing its head in the Levant may paralyse the operations of our merchants there to a far greater extent than any war with Russia. It will never do to repeat the blunder of 1830, and attempt to buy off the Greek pirates by adding to the territories of their race. The measures which effectually put an end to Spanish piracies in the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico, and the adjoining waters, are the only measures worthy of England, and calculated to afford real protee tion,to our trade, that can be adopted in the Grecian Archipelago. The puny guerilla marauders and accomplices of Russia in Greece require only to be earnestly grappled with in order to their being crushed. And the indica tions enumerated in the outset of these remarks prove that their great instigator may be effectually and spee- Ry crushed in the same manner. The bear is the typi cal animal for Russia as the lion is for England. When Norwegian huntsmen see the bear advancing to attack them, they hold the handle of a long sharp knife to their breast, and commit themselves to his hug. This is a lesson for us how to deal with the Russian Bruin. Brutes are no inat:th for men, if men have the courage, self-pos session, and alacrity which alone can render them worthy of the name. Close with the Russian and he will soon be conquered.—Daily News. INDIA AND CHINA ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN A cor respondent of the Morning Chronicle writes : —lt is only eleven months since the first rail way in India was opened for traffic, and I have now the pleasure of reporting the opening of the first long line of electric telegraph, which took place on the 24th instant, between Agra and Calcutta, a distance of 800 miles. The last yard of the wires was fixed late on the afternoon of that day at Agra, and immediately after the superintendent sent a message to Lord Dalhousie at Calcutta, which reached gOvernment-house in one and fifty minutes from the time it was signalled at Agra. As yet the line of wire is but single, and words have to be telegraphed on from station to station. Bat still the improvement in the means of commu nication is most wonderful, and in case of a war would be invaluable. I have only been ten nears in India, but yet I remember when a letter took nine days in the fine season, arid twelve in the rains, between Calcutta and Agra. A few days atter the receipt of the message, the following ap peared in the Government Gazette:-. MARCH 27.—The Most Noble the Governor-General in Council having, on the evening of the 24th March, received from the city of Agra a message by electric telegraph, con veyed in one hour and fifty minutes, is pleased to direct that the fact shall be published in the Government Gazette for general information. The construction of the electric telegraph was only com menced after the end of the last monsoon. That a message should have been transmitted alon g BCO miles of continuous line in this mouth of March, is very honourable to the su perintendent, awl most cre.lit%ble to those who under his orders have accomplished the work. Such energy and industry deserve reward. His lordship in council is therefore ple as e d to direct, that don de bpay shall be given to the whole establishment which has een employed ou the electric telegraph between Agra and Cal cutta, for the month of March, during which their exer tions have ac , lomplishod the opening of the first great sec tion of the India Electric Telegraph. By order of the Governor General of India in Council, C. ALLEN, Officiating Secretary to the Government of India. HONG KONG, March 27. -The mail'of the 24th of January from London arrived on the 13th inst. ; that of the Bth of February is.clue. The news of the past fortnight is not of great moment. From Shanghai our dates are to the 15th inst. In the city matters remained without change, and there had been less fighting going on. The Imperialists had re ceived further reinforcements, but heavy rains caused a cessation of attempts to retake the place. The party in the city were expecting assistance. There appears to be some movement of the rebel force from the westward towards the seaboard provinces, and we may hear shortly of their further progress in the green tea districts. Pekin Gazettes are to the 30th of January. The accounts of the success of the rebels north are conflicting. The Imperialists were reported having been successful at Tuhleu, which has been contradicted, and the rebel army is said to maintain firmly its position at Tuhleu and Tsinghai. It appears beyond doubt that the city of Laoucheu, in the Ghanwuy province, has fallen to the rebels. We regret to find his Excellency the Superintendent of Trade, when at Shanghai, did not settle the duty question. It appears unfair to the merchants to be kept in suspense, and we cannot but conclude the consular authorities at Shanghai have much to answer for by their vacillating conduct.

Trade slowly improving, and numbers of pirates again appear ing on the coast and interfering With the junk trade to Formosa. The Dutch ship Commercial Compagnie had sailed from Swartaw for Havannah on the 10th inst., with 500 coolies. The accounts received at Canton from the tea dis tricts of disturbances are very unfavourable, and there appears some good foundation for their causing alarm at Canton, and interfering with the departure of the tea merchants with their treasure for the interior. The movement whether of rebels or banditti, seems more extended than last year ; and we are apprehensive of constant interruption to trade this season. There was lately some excitement at Canton, but all is quiet. The executions during the past week have been numerous. The import trade is again affected by the unsettled state of the country ; and there has been but little dis position among dealer- to take goods . Tax is well . stip.

The South Gloucestershire Regiment was disbanded on Tuesday, after 28 days' drill, during which the most remarkable improvement was observed in the carriage and efficiency of the men. The inspection took place on the previous day before Colonel Patton, the inspecting officer of the district, on the old Racecourse at Glou cester, where an immense concourse of spectators had assembled from different parts of the country to witness the proceedings of the day. On the inspecting officer arrivin on the ground with the Colonel of the regiment (Earl Fitzhardinge), the whole regiment, 800 in number, presented arms, and afterwards went through differen\ manoeuvres, including platoon and other firing, forming in squares, charging in line, repelling an attack, &c. At the close of the review the inspecting officer briefly addressed the men, and complimented them on their proficiency, informing them that he should report most favourably of them to the Horse Guards. He also made some allusions to the war, and recommended the men to join the line. Earl Fitzhardinge also addressed the men, and commended them for their efficiency, steadiness, and industry, and for their good conduct in quarters, in acknowledgment of which theladies of G,oucester had provided refreshments for them at the close of the re view. His lordship also offered some general remarks on the force and the circumstances under which they had been called out, observing that from the highest lady in the land to the humblest subject in her Majesty's domi nions, all acknowledged the services they had come for ward to offer to their country. About 60 or 70 men have accepted the extra bounty offered by their noble colonel of 10s. each man, and volunteered into the line. It having been rumoured that a certain number of regiments of militia were likely to be called out for pertminent duty, the Ist Somerset Militia Regiment, which is now assembled at Taunton for 23 days' drill, was firmed in close enlinnti of companies MI the eve itug parade, and addressed by its Colonel, Viscount Hinton, when the whole regiment volunteered, to a man, to serve her Majesty wnerever they might be sent, and were only i-orry they were not asked to volunteer as a body for Turkey. The Second Somerset Militia is being daily drillei in Sydenham field by the staff of the regiment, assiite.l by a few drill instructors of the line. The whole corps have expreswed an unanimous desire to place their ser vices at the command of the Queen at the very first moment. they may be required. A considerable num ber of the men have already volunteered into regular regiments, which they will join on the expiration of their 28 days' drill. The light infantry battalion of the Royal S sex Militia, under the personal command of the Duke of Richmond, Lieutenant-Colonel Paine, and Major the Hon. Henry Gage (late Rifle Brigade), have been pro gressingivery satisfactorily atClricbester du: ingithe .last week in their evolutions. They have also. WOO ,I.CeTY: successful ball cartridge practice at the target. The Essex Rifles are to leave Colchester for the Tower next week. On Monday there was an inspection by the officers of the several companies as to the men most eligible for service. Those with families will, with few exceptions, be di-banded. Four in each company will be allowed to take their wives to act as laundresses. THE EXPLOSION OF THE JASPER• Yesterday, on Mr. John Borrer and Mr. F. J. Hall, the sitting magistrates of the Brighton bench taking their seats, Mr. George White, the chief officer of police, called their attention to a statement in the morning papers relative to the explosion of the go n-bri g Beachy-head, and reflecting s t ro ngly on the cond uc t of the local authorities of Brighton. If, h e said, it was not out of place, he should like, while the reporters were present, to explain what was done in the matter. The magistrates intimated that they were ready to hear what the chief officer had to say on the subject. Mr. White then stated that on M on day evening, about 5 o'clock, two officers called at his office, and represented that they belonged to the Jasper, which bad blown up off Beachy-head, and that the crew were in Brighton, requir ing assistance. They wished to see the Mayor, and he replied that Brighton bad no Mayor, but that the high est local authority was Mr. Wilkinson, the High Con stable. He then sent Inspector Terry to the High C ob . stable's office, in North - street, but it was f o und that Mr. Wiikinson was out of town. His chief clerk, ll erra however, accompanie I Mr. Terry to the offic e of Mr. V, the magistrates' clerk. Mr. Verrall was of o pinion that they had better go to Mr. Thorncroft, the assistant overseer. They did so, and Mr. Thorncroft offered to order admis sion for the whole of the crew into the workhouse ; but Mr. Terry and Mr. Wilkinson's clerk, thinking that something else ought to be done, went in search of Lieut. Pratt, of the Coast-guard. On their way they called at the police-office and found that Lieut. Pratt had arrived there ; and he undertook to take charge of the crew. He did so, and left the office at a quarter to 6, within three quarters of an hour of their arrival.e of them ? He was Mr. Borrer—Then he took char , the most proper person. things of this sort Mr. White said that, happ il y , occurred so seldom in Brighton t hat it did nut strike him that he ought at once to have sent to Lieut. Pratt ; on the contrary, he thought the best person was the High Constable. He did all he could for the seamen. Mr. Verrall (magistrates' clerk) explained that when In. spectory Terry and Mr. Wilkinson's clerk came to him it was, he supposed, to inquire as to the High Constable's power to grant assistance to the crew, and to charge the same in his accounts. Mr. Wilkinson was away, and his clerk did not like to take upon himself the responsibility of granting assistance. He toll theta his opinion with re gard to the legal authority of Mr. Wilkinson—that he was not justified in making any such payment and charging it to the towa. At the same time, it was a matter of discretion with him, in his position, whether he would do so, and run the risk of the amount being allowed. Of course the same observations would apply to Mr. White and the police. Mr. Wilkinson's clerk then inquired what was to be done ? He (Mr. Verrill) replied that the only authority in the town through whom persons who were distressed obtained relief was the parochial board, and advised them to mention the case to Mr. Tiiorncroft, and ascertain the view which he took of the matter ; and they left with the intention of going to Mr. Thorncroft. He also expressed his surprise that, as they belonged to one of her Majesty's vessels, they did not apply to the naval authority here, Lieutenant Pratt. The answer was, that the application had been made to Mr. Wilkinson, as High Constable, and they wanted to know what to do. Lieutenant Pratt had afforded them every attention. It was natural that he should do so ; and, as far as he c ould j ud g e, o n the part of Mr. Wilkinson's clerk, in Mr. Wilkinson's a b sence , and also on the part of Mr. Terry, there was a great disposition to afford any and every assistance they felt justified legally in affording. yea tO be the cornpariti: 62 Bt 9 a B t 9 e Mr. Borrer—The fact was, that they wanted imme diate relief for the position in which they were placed, and it took some little time to obtain it fur them ? th the amounts of the fixed Mr. White—l am informed that they lost all they issues, the following appears On complanrcirnegasethoena t h o e v e w has been used.

Ei Hamee Pasha. 17 years of age, son of the Viceroy Abbas Pasha, left for Constantinople on the 4th inst., in the steam-yacht Faid Gehaad, on a state visit to the Sultan and the Sultan's daughter, his bride. The pre sents the Prince carries with him to Constantinople fall far short of what his father expected to send; in conse quence of the very great straitness of money from which his Highness is suffering. The cash taken by the Prince des not reach 100,0001. sterling, while the Viceroy's first wish was to have sent at least five times that amount. It is, consequently, feared that El Hanle* Pasha will not be so very we come at Constantinople, as there is little doubt that the Sultan offered his daughter to him in the expectation of receiving a good round sum from the Pasha of Egypt for the honour thus conferred upon hhn. The India mails proceed this day by the Ripon to Malta and Southampton, after having lain here since the 4th.

By the Royal mail steamer Magdalena we have received, via Panama, accounts from Sydney to the 21st of February, being a fortnight later than those by the Marco Polo. From Melbourne our files of papers are only three days later than brought by that vessel. At Sydney the rate of interest had been raised from 4to 5 per cent. The following is the latest report from the mining districts from a correspon dent of the Sydney herald:-- " BRAIDWOOD, Feb. 16.—Since my last I still have to report great prosperity among our gold diggers. The now diggings on Major's Creek are turning out even better than the most sanguine could bare anticipated, and the success that has attended many is most cheering, and, to those who have as yet been unsuccessful, en couraging them to further exertions, which I have no doubt will in the end be crowned with success according to their exertions. " I mentioned in my last that there were about 1,000 persons on the diggings, and 700 at work. I may now say, 1,100 people located or walking_ about, of which number about 750 or 800 have licenses, the other 300 being women, children, and nondescripts. Now, as to the remunerativeness of these new diggings, I cannot enumerateall the different parties who are successful, but merely giVe a few of those whose success has more immediately come within my knowledge. A party of four, the week before last took upwards of 40 ounces of gold out in the week, being an average each man of 361. 10s. Another party, numbering 10, I believe, are taking out their 12 ounces per day. Brown's party are doing remarkably tvell, as likewise M`Donough's; and very many others, too numerous to mention. There are stores and sly grog shops in abundance—the former well supplied with every requisite for a gold digger's pur pose, and cheap ; the latter with every enticing beve rage to lure and debase the man. There are still, not withstanding the new diggings, a number digging on the private lands of Mr. Badgery. I believe upwards of 100 licenses have been issued, and they seem all to be doing a fair stroke. " With regard to the English company, I must delay giving you their transactions until my' next. I believe, however, that the Messrs. Shepherd and Alger's party are doing well ; certainly their plot of land near the new diggings, from nut appearances, promises great things, and, I have little doubt, will realise to its owners a highly remunerative investment, if not an independent fortune. Diggers up here would lain have a *dig ' at it but unfortunately for them, the lucky proprietors have too good an opinion of its anriferons deposits ; and who . can blame theirs for endeavouring to make th most of ;heir property " With nom' to the Sevmoar e , tee. which was se very remunerative to geld di4 , 4ers last year, there are few : it acv, parties ‘v..irking no al thrt tcm at present. The private e-nisilissin..er upon the a-taw discourages it as much as he can by charging a license lee of 21. ; but tnere are several partite.; working upon the seigninrdge principle, which is in general all.•wt,tl to be the tair,st of all in ale, of letting and for gold-mining pill po-es. "The large party who have been wothing for, a con siderable period with great success nil Bell's Creek are still erjoyilig their good fortunes, and I am informed from the best sources that 200 ounces of gold per month of late bad been about their average. In a large round or flat supposed to have been an old waterhole, they have taken out 1,200 ounces of gold. " There is another party higher up the creek, and upon the same property, who are likewise finding it highly remunerative. "The tableland upon this estate, which last year turned out so well, is now entirely deserted ; the per. s t ns wl4o were working there.a shortAitnesineethave all left feethe new diggings on Major's creek„.: where the lietnise Altai* only -10s4 instead of 455., which is an im mense consideration to any digger, should he prove to be unsuccessful at first commencing operations, which is frequently the case. " Mr. Moreing, who is the private commissioner upon the estate, has, with praiseworthy enterprise, commenced a series of experimentti by sinking shafts to considerable depths, in order, dpossible, to penetrate to the hard granite, which•up to the present time has not been at tempted, or, at least, if attempted, hail not beep perse vered v ith, to give the experiment a fair trial." - A destructive fire took place at Hobart Town on the 21st of January, during which property to the value of $400,000 was destroyed. Crown lands in certain localities commanded a high price. In the township of Gladstone, the upset price of which was 201. per acre; the land sold at 5181. per acre. We have New Zealand papers to the 21st of January. No material alteration bad taken place in the price of flour, which was quoted at 231. per ton, and wheat 10s. a bushel. Sawn timber 16s. per 100 feet. From the C tnterbary settlethent we have Lyttel ton papers to the 18 th of J anuar y . The importa tion of stock was going on briskly, 180 head of cattle, 40 horses, and 1,500 sheep having just ar rived. Mr. Morris, a midshipman of the Caruatic, had been drowned during a squall in the harbour. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. SYDNEY, Feb. 21.—The increase of the rate of interest from 4 to 5 per cent. has had a most marked effect on the tenders for the railway debentures. It will be re collected that at 4 per cent. only 11,5001. was tendered for, out of 50,000/. required, To-day the tenders for the 38,5001., deficient on the former occasion, wero opened. Toe reply to inquiries was, that no answer could be given until the Goverwr-General's decision was known, but we believe that the whole amount was tendered for by the Savings Bank Trustees at 4 per cent. premilm. There were tender,+ for nearly 80,000 i. additional, at rates varying from to 1 per cent: premium. It is rumoured that it is intended to accept lendcr.4 for a larger amount than was advertised for.
