VLtory, 104, Captain Hay, flag .of Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., exercised her new'levies of **se men yesterday in great gunnery, cannonading from the lower deck-. _ 'hie Penelope, 18, paddle-wheel fiiga - te, Captain Caffin, was swtmg - yesterday for the adjustmeatt of her compasses in Portsmouth harbour, and is now ready for service. Tho Gladiator, 6, paddle-frigete, - C aptain Broke, was olcially reported - ready for sea at Portsmouth yesterday . . The Termagant, af6ern°°u. screw-frigate, : is ordered to be taken out of the steam basin on Monday and placed in Porte mouth harbour ready for commission. The Algiers, 91, screw steam-ship, was floated out of the basin dock at Keyhain on Thursday, and towed -to the jetty to 'receive fore and mainyards, and- to. csamplisbe stores. It is stated in Dublin that the Admiralty are withdraw 7 ing six, men from thd crews of every first-class revenue cruiser, and four from every cruiser of the second class. The entry of landsmen is for the present discontinued at the Royal Naval Rendezvous, Tower-hill, until such time as those now on board the receiving ships are suffi ciently diticiplined to be draughted to the vessels in active service. Captain Craigie has now enrolled 1,000 'of his comple ment of 1,500 men_ as volwateers for the defence of the east coast. ' Till 3 following appointment s hare been made : LieutenantV. A. J. Heath 11844), at present serving in the St. George, 121, in the DOVE'S, to command the Otter; paddle-wheel steam-vessel, commissioned at Woolwich. Second Master J. H. Allen, to the Otter: Masters' Assistants.—Louis F. Chevalier, to the Dasher steam-vessel; .W. J.-Grundy, to the Edinburgh, 60, screw steam flag-ship of. Rear-Admiral Henry D. Chads, C.B. ; Bartle Rowlandsen and Henry Lindguist, to the Edin ourgh. Clerks.—W. S. Freeman (1849), to the Waterloo, 120, dag-ship at Sheerness. Clerks' Assistant—S. E. C. Sullivan, to the Waterloo. The first battalion of the Ist Royals, under the command of Major Montgomery, marched fiaim the Plymouth Citadel yesterday morning, preceded by their own band and those (d the 20th and of the Royal Marinas. They were cheered heartily by the populace as theypassed through Dockyard ,treet, the Union-road, and Durnford-street. At the Royal tiVilliam Victualling-yard they were received on board the :team-tugs Confidence and Pike, which took the Wasp and \rthur lighters in tow, and conveyed the whole to the Si;ttud, where the troop were welcomed by the loud hurrahs of the crews and passengers of the Lady Elgin and Historia e migrant ships, and other vessels lying at anchor, every ,arrangement having been previously made by Captain ituyth, Brigade-Major. The Ist Royals, who were 'in ex cellent health and spirits, were soon berthed on board the steam transport-ship Andes, which will probably leave early this morning direct for Gallipoli. The Melbourne steam-vessel, One of the hired transports, went down the river on Thursday on her way to Chatham, to embark the 38th Regiment of Foot at that port for con veyance to the East. The horse transport-ship Mary Ann sailed on Thursday morning with the second troop of the Bth Hussars for the Mediterranean. - No. 35 transport sailed from Spithead yesterday morning 'for Queenstown. No. 30 transport went into Portsmouth harbour yeater lay, and is ordered to embark a portion of the head quarters of the 17th Lancers from the dockyard between 7 and 8 this morning. The St. Vincent, No. 18 horse and troop transport, left Woolwich yesterday morning for her destination. Six transports, fitting out at Liverpool, will shortly be despatched to Dublin and Cork. The formation of a local artillery corps has been recommended by Lord Palmerston, and is talked of with considerable interest by all classes, as a wise step towards the defence of the port. The embarkation of the 19th Foot was somewhat delayed on Thursday, in consequence of the Victoria troop-ship re maining at Blackwall with the impression that the troops would embark there; the men were, however, carried on to Woolwich, and; after remaining .there seine time, :ftoughthack to Blackwell and put .on.board the Victoria. The ship, 'on leaving her moorings, had the misfortune to {et in collision with the screw-steamer Maria Segunda off Bladkwall-stairs, carrying away her jibboonn and a quantity of running, gear. The Victoria sustained no damage, but has not left Woolwich, as she is short of able seamen. She has' been numbered 72. The Master-General of the Ordnance has issued instruc tions for the different recruiting parties to use every-exer tion in obtaining the desired number of men to place the loyal A.rtiVery in such a state as to be ready for any Con tingency. The bounty is now increased to 5/. 15s. 6d., and the height, between the ages of ITand 25, reduced to 5 feet 6 inches, callar-tnakers, shoe-smiths, and wheelers aeing eligible at a much lower standard. Militiamen _are now all Owed to join this highly-favoured corps, the pay ranging from 12s. 3id. to 11. Os. 3d. per week. Tailors who join this- corps are paid extra for working at their trade. . It is understood that the sth Dragoon Guards, under the command of Brigadier-General the Hon. York Scarlett, now stationed in Ballincollig, and which some time since received orders to be in readiness, to embark from Co*, -sill now embark from Dublin. About 1 o'clock on Thurida,y the head-quarters of the '9th Regiment left Cork barracks, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel A. H. Ferryman, and embarked at Pen rose's-quay for the transport Timandra, lying at Queens town, hi which they are to proceed to the seat of war. A crowd Was collected to witness the departve of the men, who seemed to be, in the highest spirits, and cheered heartily on leaving - the quay; i the splendid band of the regi' nent also enlivened the scene by playing several spirit stirring airs. -The second division are under orders for the same destination, as soon as the Gornelsa transport, which is to convey them, arrives. DEFENCE OF VARNA BY ADMIRAL DIINDAS'S MARINES. Ey letters dated from the Black Sea fleet off Varna, 4th inst., we learn that the day previous Admiral Dundas had made a general signal for a marine officer from each ship to repair on board the flag-ship, to copy a general order issued by Lieutenant-Colonel Pratt, commanding, and approved by the commander-in-chief, stating that it was hourly expected that it would be necessary that the Royal Marines of the fleet should be landed for the protection of the town of Varna, and that in conse quence each man was to be provided with 60 rounds of ammunition, the men to be dressed in coatees and fo raging-caps, carrying their jackets, a shirt, - pair of stock ings, boots, &c., in their haversacks; officers to wear blue frock coats, taking a shell-jacket and other necessaries with them. The order on promulgation was received with great enthusiasm by officers and men, and the writer states that all were iu the highest state of discipline— ready, most anxious to come within reach of the Russians, adding, "If we manage to cross bayonets with our foes, there is no doubt we shall be able to give a pretty good account of them." served half-pay list, and the latter, being eligible, succeeds to his rank of Rear-Admiral of the Blue, and , thereby *re linquishing his captain's good service 'pension. • Retired" Captain John George Aplin (June 28, 1826) being senior to Captain Keats, also obtains his Promotion to the rank of retired rear-admiral.: ; Among the officers above enumerated as not haVing served the required period of time to render them` eligible for their active flag rank, is Sir Henry Leeke—and his case is, if anything, - a harder one than that of the Earl of Hard wicks. Sir Henry earned the honour of knighthood for hie gallantry ; but his war services and his standing, backed • by: incessant applications, - were insufficient to procure him that 'additional employment which . was necessary - to com plete his time:‘ But the anomaly of the regulation that ha's deprived the active list of so many of its best officers is • still more absurd in Sir Henry Leeke's case. He is no* . serving at the head of the Indian navy, as. its superin tandent ; but, although he has of late years commanded at sea, and in experimental squadrons too, in a. three- 7 , decker, he is, fOrsooth, ineligible to be placed on the active flag list of-the Royal navy. The captain of the Baltic fleet, Commodore Seymour (August 5, 1826) a is now the senior captain on the active list. ... • • Captains Joseph Nias, Sir Philip Broke, Bart., H. D. Trotter, Sir George !sack (1835), and William Hillyer (1836), will come' within the seniors' list; and Captains E. R. P. Mainwaring, W. -J. Prowse, C. H. Seale, T. Fraser, and Peter Christios will virus within tho 12s. 6d. half-pay list. • MILITIA.. The (King's Own) Ist Regiment of Staffordithire'llilitia assembled at Lichfield on Thursday last for 28 days' train ing. This regiment, which had been under the command of the late Earl of Dartmouth, is now oommanded by' Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. W. P. Talbot, and musters upwards of 1,000 strong. The Ist West York Militia, whielvassembled at Ponte fract on Wednesday, is about strong, being.nearly 140 short of its full complement, the deficiency having' been occasioned, in a great measere. by enlistments into the line. The 2d West York will assemble at York on the lit of May. It is expected' to muster about 1;000 strong. Forty privates are being trained at the, Militia Barracks by Captain Cobbe, so as to be able to undertake the drilling of their comrades, in the absence of detachments from the army. The 3d West York are now assembled at Doncas ter. The number short of the full, complement has been found greater than' was,at first supposed. Instead of 1,030, the complete number, only 771 were, found on the roll on the day after their arrival. This number has, however, since been increased by 186 new recruits, whilst the volun teers to the line, since the corps has b een i n D onc a ster , at present amount only six. So far as can be ascertained, the whole number of those who have left this regiment for the army does nob exceed 50, but several are not in atten dance whose absence is not satisfactorily accounted for. The men now on duty are trained twice a-day on the race course, about .a mile and a half from the town, and are making good progress. The men receive regulation rations of meat and bread, like the soldiers of the line. The 4th Wed York, at Leeds, is considerably short of its comple ment, and cannot assemble for some months. The sth and 6th West Yerk Regiments are in a still more incipient state; they, in fact, exist as yet only on paper. • The Sherwood Rangers, under the command of hi s Grace the Duke of Newcastle, will assemble at Newark on Thurs day, the 4th of May. The Regiment of Olocestershire Militia assembled on Wednesday for 28 days' permanent duty, and yesterday the Southern division were addressed—by their Colonel, Earl Fitzliardinge, at Glocester, in a spirited speech, in which he alluded to the war. In the course of his remarks he said that Russia was no more justified in her encroach ments on Turkey than any highway robber would be in attacking them on their return to their homes and robbing them of what they possessed. He also remarked that they were assembled there of their own free will, and without: compulsion, and that no impressment had been resorted to in the navy, but that, without any compulsion, our soldiers and sailors had embarked heart and hand in the object of attempting to put down the usurpation of the Czar ; and the finest fleet that ever sailed on the ocean, and soldiers as brave as any that ever left the British soil, were joined against him, His Lordship then recommended the men to volunteer for the line, observing that if ordered to the Rest they would be under the commend of Lord Raglan, the friend and companion in arms of Wellington, and another commander, h Prince of the Blood, a noble example of disin terested loyalty and patriotism; who, resigning the luxuries of a palace, sought the fortune of war abroad in the service of his Queen and his country. They had now a fine oppor tunity of joining his Rdyed Highness's regiMent, a party of non-commissioned ()faders being in Gloucester ready to enlist them.; and he offered, out of his own'parse, to the first 100 men who.enliated in that or any other regiment of the line Ws. each. ,The . offer has been accepted by Many of the men, who now. muster 800. The strength of the regiment is 1,077, but a majority of the absentees have enlisted in the line. The men, though many , of them are new to the service, are getting on very well with their drill. Schooli are about to be opened for their education in the evening. • AUSTRALIA. We extract the following from a Sydney letter of Jianuary 3 : -The only particular political incidents are • the completion 2 of the New Co,nstitution Bill. and - the prorogation of the Legislative Council. The Colonial Secretary;' Mr. 'Dens ,Thompson, and Mr . . Went - worth have been formally commissioned by the house tO lend 'their. ;advocacy to the bill -in-.its necef.sary passage through Parliament.- 'Considerable nneertaility - prevails as to its tate in England ; and the opposition party con fidently predict,. on the authority Of - Mr. n6hert LOWe, that it Will be rejected by the Duke of Newcastle and his colleagues:,: die other hind; the party in power. including the Government, landed proprietors, and squatters, assert that -by the tenour of the despatches, as- well as by inherent right, the Legislature of the ColOny is the proper. authority to decide upen the form of constitution best suited to. its condition, wants, and prospects ;' and'the Council has decided by overwhelm ing majorities of the elective and nominated inembera. Petitions against the Nominee Upper House have been adopted in all the principal districts of the colony; but Ithey have - not been so numerously signed as was ex pected. The aggregate amount 'of signatures is not above 7,000, out of a population of 200,000, including an electoral roll of nearly 20,000. 'The fact' is that, out of Sydney, the great bulk of the people ar e i gnoran t and careless of political matters; and the battle is ,virtu ally,betiveen the - " landed aristocracy" andthe feW busy andambitiOus men among the newer class - of - eolonists, yfhose avowed object is to break down the political su remaci-ofthe possessors of broad acres. , One of the most ,significant facts connected with our social condition is - the total failure . of municipal institutions. In South AuStralia • the district coun cils appear to work well ; but in Sydney, Melbourne,- and Hobart Town the corporations have sunk, day by day, into insignificance and well-merited contempt- The offices of mayor, alder Men, and councillors have been filled, generally, by men of the lowest calibre of mind, and sometimes of very questionable respectability ; and from the prominence given to their proceedings in the columns of the local press, the municipal bodies have degenerated into mere "talking-ships"—a sort of step to " the Upper House," ag our worthy city councillors affected to style the. Legislative Connell in reference to -their own body. In Sydney, after a long struggle, and a good deal of very naturatreluctance on the part of the Government to put down a popular institution, the car poration has been abolished' by the almost unanimous vote of the Legislature, and by the expressed or tacit as. sent of almost every class of the citizens. In Melbourne the same result is expected to ensue ; and in Hobart Town the. press has commenced writing down -the muni cipality; Sydney is now under the government of a -paid commission, who are empowered, by -special legislative enactment, to impose taxes and rates on the citizens. •We have now some hopes of getting George-street paved, and Cook-ward lighted; and the great desiderata—a proper system of se werao and a sufficient supply of water —are no longer, included in the category of impossi bilities. _ The intelligence brought 703 , the Harbinger of the de claration of war by Turkey has created a strong im pression. Coupled with the rather unsatisfactory state of our markets,' this news is looked upon as serious in a commercial point of view. At Melbourne fears are en tertained of the long predicted " crisis ;" and our inte rests are so bound up with those of the southern colony, that Sydney must, to a large extent, be involved in its disasters, Our position is undoubtedly much sounder, and we are better prepared to meet the difficulties that are in store ; but there is considerable anxiety. The produce of our gold-fields has diminished to the extent of nearly one-half, as compared with the results of last pear ; and in Victoria the falling off is very oonsiderable also. The reduction of the license fee from 30e. to 10a., which alteration commenced on the let of October, was followed . by an immediate increase in the licenses issued ; and it is confidently anticipated.that the returns for No vember and December will show a further increase. The present quotation for gold is 775. to 77e. 3d. for Vic toria, and 755. for New. South Wales. The total amount of the precious metal exported from Sydney to the pre sent time i5.1,615,5550z., valued at 755., 6,058,3311. 59. Discounts have been at 2 and. 3 per cent, for sonic weeks past ; but it is expected that the value of money will rise. The Crown land sales to the 10th November have amounted to 131,418/. 'This is but a beggarly account, compared with the sales in South Australia,- which, it is stated, will amount to 300,0001. for the year. Apropos of South Australia, Capt. Gadell is actively pursuing his plans for establishing a regular line of steamers and barges to navigate the waters of the Murray, which pro mises to become the highway for a considerable portion of the internal commerce of the continent. In his recent despatches to the Duke of Newcastle, Sir Henry Young, the Lieut.-Governor of South Australia, iudulges in very sanguine anticipations of the future importance of Adelaide as the natural port of landing for immigrants intending to settle in the country districts of New South Wales and,Victoria. His Excellency's anticipa tions are, perhaps, a little premature ; but a glance at the map will satisfy you that the Murray, the Nile of Australia, is destined to play a great part in the Aus tralian drama. The climate of the interior is described as beautiful, and soil is generally of excellent qua lity. The river and its tributaries abound in fish, and' millions of wild fowl await the sportsman's guns. The natives of the basin of the- Murray are generally do cile and tractable, and are employed in considerable num bers,-as shepherds, by the squatters in those districts. Our railway prospects are more encouraging than they were. Some difficulty haS been experienced with the newly-arrived navvies, owing to the representations made to them by crimps on their landing ; but desertions from covenanted engagements have been promptly and severely, punished by our courts, and the‘recent Water Police Act provides stringent penalties for crimping. Navvies, how ' ever, are very well off here; and liberal wages, from Os. to 10s. a day, have been freely given by the company to common labourers. Mr. Wallace, the chief engineer, still confidently speaks of opening the line to Parramatta 'at the end of this year. I give him 18 months at least. Masons employed on the line are earning from 255. to 28s. a day. Some of these are persons who arrived here under contract to serve the company for ss. a day ; but it has been found impossible to enforce contracts, and the directors have wisely relaxed the stringency of the engagements, and paid the current rates of wages. The survey for the Hunter River line from Newcastle to Maitland is in progress. Mr. Wallace has been charged with the undertaking. He reports most favourably on the nature of the country. The line will traverse an al most uninterrupted coal field of groat extent and depth of seam. There are also some magnificent stone quar ries, the material of which will be available for the large improvements now being effected in the harbour of Newcastle. Real property in Sydney has been rising continuously. The abundance of money, and a spirit of land jobbing, - have combined to raise the prices of building allotments to an extravagant figure, and it is not likely that any reaction will occur here at present. Rents continue high, but I believe there is more dispo sition on the part of landl6rds to grant leases of three, five, or seven years, to tenants of established respecta bility, on something less than ruinous terms. Thus, business premises, which last year might be had for say 4001., and cannot now be obtained by strangers for less than 8001., are let to old tenants at 600/., for a term ; and at this rate.still yield enormous interest for money. Building proceeds slowly, but steadily, and is generally of a substantial character, notwithstanding the high wages . (1/. to 30s, a• day) paid to skilled labourers. The demand for labour is incessant, nor can any limit be placed upon the number of artisans, mechanics, navvies, and people of that sort, that we can employ and enrich, The prosperity of the labouring classes leads to several evils, but most of these will cure themselves. The vice of drunkenness is the must for midable and the most difficult to grapple with. Ia Victoria it has come to such a pitch that a league has been formed with the avowed object of procur ing a law prohibiting the sale and manufacture of all intoxicating liquors —a Maine liquor ' law, in other words. There, is not the remotest chance of success in such a Quixotic attempt, but it has already led to a more serious consideration of the subject and may effect some good indirectly. Appeals have been made to the Government to put down the public houses, but the Government knows too well that any direct interference would lead - to smuggling, sly grog selling, and probably to bloodshed, and they wash their hands of the matter, reaping meanwhile an enormous revenue from customs duties upon spirits.

The impending war in Europe is the theme of general conversation, and great anxiety is felt lest the colonies may be in volved in hostilities. The Melbourne press is clamour ing loudly for the formation of militia corps, and the Argus especially gives way to all sorts of gloomy antici pations of rapine and,murder on the part of the French or Russians. The press of New South Wales is more guarded and more -.moderate ; but it begins to iexpress the general felling that some precaution ary measure should be taken in view of a possible coup de main, either by American privateering expe ditions, or by. a legitimate descente of a French squadron. Few of the colonists of New South Wales are sufficiently acquainted with European politics to discern very clearly tae signs of the times ; but it is patent. to everybody who bestows any:attention on passing events, that in the event of war the English and French alliance is in great dan ger of being broken up ; and we look with jealeus sns picion upon the movements of the French squadron in the Pacific. It is said that if the overland November mail, now nearly due, should bring a confirmation of the warlike news, the Legislative Council will be summoned again, with the. view .of getting a. measure passed to anthorise the levy of a volunteer corps. The Govern ment 'are prepared _to carry such a measure into effect immediately, and the pluck and patriotism of the colo nists may be fally relied on. It is, however, confidently anticipated that the British Government will lose no time in strengthening the naval force in these seas. • The Sydney...

A few, weeks ago disceunts were obtainable at 24 3, and 4 per cepa., owing to the VOinpetitien bet ween the several establish ments. The dangerdus tendency 'of this competition was boldly pointed out bYthe press, and the 'conduct of the banks severely commented on. It is believed that the articl es o f the Percild . bad no' little influence, coupled with the unsatisfaCtorY news from Europe, in bringing about a more healthy state of things: ,Trade is very 'much depressed, and stocks overflowing, but in other respects the present condition.of the colony is highly satisfact:ry.' There is little excitement left, And the fortune-making of last year will not be repro duced. Some extraordinary land and stook transactions ,have recently taken place. Mr. 'Wentworth, preparatory to his departure v for England sold his stations on th'e Marrambidge to' several parties here . for 80,0001. three months age: lam credibly informed 'that they have been resold for nearly double the sum. One or.two of our lucky men, .who have cleared large sums 'dating , the last two years, have. honourably paid in full their liabilities remaining from the panic and in solvency of 1843. Among these, Mr.: Alderman Wil shire and Mr. George Alfred Lloyd, whose name is well known in England as the writer of the gold,eircular s in the Sydney !Jerald, stand conspicuous. It is to. be re gretted that others who have not been less fortunate have not followed so bright an example. The total shipping entered inwards at Fort Jacks on, dining the past year, has been as follows :—Ships, 98O• tonnage, 316,879 ; passengers, 31,437.

The subject is one of considerable interest,_ and the development of commercial intercourse between us and California,' and the establishment of the Panama line of steam communication, renders every movement in the Pacific of great importance. THE PBESTO.Y STRIKE. PRESTON, APRIL 21.—There seems to be some mys tery connected with the week's income of the powerloom weavers. On Monday, in accordance with the informa tion furnished, we reported that the subscriptions amount ed to about 2,050/. Last night, however, on obtaining the balance-sheet; we found among the receipts the folloW ing iteni :—" My box is open ; take your needs-4001," What this means does not appear ; but it . is reasonable to presume that the amount has been borrowed to make up the deficiency caused by th)s withdrawal of the Stock port contributions, &c. Including,this 5001.,_ the week's income reached 2 ; 160t. 16s. • 94d.—about. the average amount. The total expenditure was 2,118/. Bs., leaving. a balance in hand of 421. Bs. 9id. The subjoined ad dress, which indicates the present feeling of the leaders of the movement, accompanies the balance-sheet : " Friends and Fellow -operatives,—The Committee of the Preston Lock-out, in, presenting you with this report, beg to return their sincere acknowledgments to all who have aided the cause of labour by their donations during this very pro tracted dispute, and, in so doing, bee to impress upon every working man and woman th e absolute necessity and import ance of remaining true to the cause a little longer, and this week send in more contributions to meet the increased tyranny of the oppressors and tho wants of the working people. We regret to have to report the strike of nearly the whole of the factory workers of the town of Stockport, which calamity has been brought - about bythe withdrawal of the 10 per cent, given to the workpeople by the em ployers at the end of the recent turn-out in that town. Of this strike and its effects we will not now speak ; our opinion will be reserved for a future day. One thing is evident—there are now more people out on strike than can be supported, unless many more districts can be organised or increased contributions obtained from those who have hitherto supported the contest. We cannot ask many of the districts to do more than they have done; they have done their duty right nobly. Unless every weaver in every district can anti will pay 7d. per loom, nothing can be done towards supporting the people. The people of Preston must be supported; they are not yet defeated, nor will they be sio as long as the operatives stand true to them. Look to Preston, for Preston isthe battle field. The people of Preston, having the first claim on public sympathy and on the sympathy of their follow-workmen, must not be neglected while they remain out ; they have at all events 'been true to their order, and will for ever deserve well of the people, whatever may be the result of this long and severely contested struggle. If the time is not at hand, the day of the capitalists' downfall will yet come, and in the future the power of labour shall bo triumphant. Mind is progressive, union is progressive good is progressive; and as these things go onward evil and wrong must de ' crease; and finally the power of the people shall be the most powerful of all powers. May the day soon come, and may all of us help it on, is the sincere wish of those who will never despair, of those who will ne ver cease to agitate, until the people get their own." The report of the Mediation Committee has elicited the following appeal : " To TETE BRITISH PUBLIC. " Fellow-countrymen,—The time has arrived when I think it my duty to place before you a true and correct statement of facts connected with this unfortunate dispute that has for 31 weeks been pending in these districts. " 1. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Preston, on the 29th of March last, appointed a Mediation Committee, for the purpose of endeavouring to bring about an arrange ment between the employers and 'the employed: The Operatives' Committee submitted to that committee cer tain proposals which they considered seasonable and fair. " The Committee of the Associated Masters refused the offer of the Mediation Committee, and, in.reply, says the ` Rate of wages cannot be settled.by mediation, but must be left to the free operation of supply and demand.' " We think, after this, that it would be a waste of words to enumerate what we have done since the commencement of this struggle to bring about an arrangement. Our aim and object has been to be reasonable, just, and honest both towards ourselves and the country at large. The object of the Masters' Association has been, and still is (if we take their public documents as proof of their intentions), to set at defiance reason, justice, and humanity, and rely upon a fallacious dogma in political economy. "2. This is Easter week—a week in which all the m a . nufacturing districts will have been more or less idle, and consequently will have less wages than ordinary to draw at tho weok's end. " In order to work - upon the feelings of the factory ope. ratives of Lancashire, and induce them to commit a suicidal act, by withholding their support from Preston, the mas ters' association and their emissaries have during the last few days been industriously circulating a report all through those districts where the principal support comes from* that the operatives of Preston are resuming work by hun dreds—that we are abandoning the contest. " Allow-countrymen, for 34 weeks the operatives of Preston have nobly struggled to resist this unjust and un holy aggression' upon their daily earnings ; anti, though a few may have succumbed to the tyrannical screw which has been brought to bear upon them, yet tht great body of the operatives are as firm and as determined to persevere in this struggle as they were at the commencement. " Every mean and low artifice- that it was possible to adopt has been used to overthrow labour and labour's cause, but hitherto in vain. I trust that the sons and 'daughters of toil will prove that they are equal to the emergency,— that, while Preston honourably battles in defence of labour's right no trickery on the part of our antagonists will induee them to withhold their aid and support. • " Divide and conquer,' is the tyrants' rule. Let our motto still be ' United we stand, divided we fall,' and suc . cess will crown our efforts. . . "Preston, April 20. " GEORGE COWL L." THE TRANSPORTS. For the conveyance of troops, horses, and commissariat stores, every good ship, steamer, or sailing vessel that is safe and sound is seized upon by the Government as they arrive home or become otherwise disengaged. But the diffi culty is in fitting. It is impossible to do everything at once, and inasmuch as there are more ships than docks, and most of those transports require examination, delay in times of great pressure in our limited dock accommoda tion must ensue. So scarce is dock room at Liverpool that we believe_one, or two transports, among the very first taken up at that port, are still waiting to be docked. But, as we have before remarked, all available steamers are caught hold of. The Harbinger, of 1,000 tons, belong ing to the General Screw Company, just arrived from Aus tralia, has been employed to' convey stores; and the fine 1 , pa B n o y o , ton t s cr a e r ws r - ve h d i p from H da t sp he e s belonging C , ap e o n Thursday, to the same has o c alsom been taken bate the service of the Government to convey troops.

And within the next eight weeks it is expected the ser vices of the 2,700 tons screw-ship Prince will be required.

In this - case, the plaintiff, Mr. Benjamin Lumley, the lessee of Her Majesty's 'Theatre, had brought an action against Mr. Frederick Gye, the director of the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-garden, to recover damages for enticing and procuring Miss Johanna . Wagner to break a contract into which she had entered with Mr. Luml9y to perform as prima donna at Her Majesty's Theatre in the season of 1852. The declaration contained several counts, to which•the defendant pleaded only the general issue. At the trial, which took place before Lord Campbell, at Guildhall, at *he sittings after last term, the jury, in substance, found a verdict for the defendant. On that occasion Lord Campbell left three questions to the jury for their consideration-1, whether Miss Wag ner's agreement with Mr. - Lumley remained in force when it was alleged Mr. Gye induced her to break it ; 2, whether Mr. Gye induced Miss Wagner to break her agreement; and whether she broke it in consequence of Ins inducement ; and, 3, whether Mr. Gye at that time knew that the agreement between Miss Wagner and Mr. Lumley was then in existence. The jury found the first two piestions in the affirmative, but they found the third in the negative—namely, that Mr.Gye did not know that Miss Wagner's agreement with Mr. Lumley was at the time in existence. Lord Campbell bad pre viously directed the jury that if Mr. Gye bona fide be lieved that Miss Wagner's agreement with Mr. c limuley had ceased to'be binding, the scientia was not proved, and Mr. Gyo would be entitled to a verdict. Upon the iluding of the jury, the verdict was entered fel. the de fendant accordingly. Sir F. Theater (with whotri were Sir F.. Kelly and Mr. noggins, Q.C.) now moved, on the part of the plaintiff, to' set aside the verdict, and to have a new trial upon the several grounds. The first and principal ground was, that the finding of the jury upon the third question submitted to them was contrary to the evidence. The-learned counser went fully into the evidence given at the trial, with a view to show that when Mr.Gye, on the sth 'of April, 1852, induced Miss Wagner to enter into an agreement to sing at Covent-garden Theatre, lie must have known that •the agreement which she had made with Mr. Lumley on the 9th of November, 1851, was still • subsisting and binding upon her. Know ing that circumstance, Mr. Gye, both by his letters and by a personal visit which he paid to Miss Wagner at Hamburg, induced her to violate the engagement into which she had entered. In his letters he from time to time, in the month of March, 1852, threw out insinuations that Mr. Lumley would not be able to open his theatre'aral fulfil his part of the agreement ; and subsequently, on the sth of April, 1852, on his visit to Miss Wagner at Hamburg, he offered her the sum of 2,000/. if she would sing at his theatre, although he' knew that she had. engaged to sing for_ i longer period at Mr. Lumley's theatre for the sum of 1,2001. only. Re thus' bribed Miss Wagner to break her con tract with Mr. Lumley by the offer of nearly double the amount which she was to receive from him. It was then proposed by Miss Wagner that Mr. Gye should give her an indemnity, and this also was readily given by Mr. Gye to facilitate. the transaction. The learned counsel here read M. Wagner's letter,' which appeared in the Morning Post, but which was proved at the trial to hive been in the handwriting of Mr. Gye, to show that, in the early part of March, he (Mr. Gye) represented to Miss Wagner that her contract with Mr. Lumley was not likely to be carried out ; and also an extract from an affi davit made, by Mr. Gye, in which, in reference to this subject, he (Mr. Gye) stated that, in the mouth of March, 1852, Mr. Lumley was arrested for the sum of 2,2751. 18s, and remained in custody about three days. He then read Mr. Gye's letter to Miss Wagner of the 9th of . March, 1862, in which Mr. Gye said, " There is only one thing wanting to render the programme perfect—it is the name of Mademoiselle Wagner. Is there any possibility of that ! If you think so, write me two lines because there is still time. It was evident from that letter that Mr. Gye was aware that at that time the agreement with-Mr. Lumley was a subsisting agreement. On the 30th of March Mr. Gye again wrote to Miss Wagner as follows : _ _ - , - "London, March•3o, 1852. "Dear Mademoiselle Wagner,—Will you have the good ness to write me one word in reply to my last letter ? For give me for troubling you, but it is said here that your arrangements are not quite fixed with Mr. Lumley. Is this true ? My theatre opened last Saturday. The opening. of Mr. Lumley's . theatre was announced for last. Saturday, but it did not take place ; it was again announced for to night, but was again put off. Another bill has now come out, in which the opening is announced for Thursday, but there is much doubt. You will see by the enclosed pro gramme, that M. Negrini, the tenor singer of whom I spoke to you, is engaged at Covent-garden ; the troupe is fine, is it not ? Excuse me for writing in such a hurry. Give me two lines in answer.—Believe me, &c. , "F. GTE." That letter shoived that Covent-garden had at that time been opened, • but, though it was so important for the manager to be present, Mr. Gye, on the Ist or 2nd of April, without waiting for an answer to his letters, event first to Berlin, and then to Ham bur g , in search of Miss Wagner: He there saw Miss Wagner on the sth of April, and indaced,her to enter into an engagement with hina (Mr, Gye) to sing at Covent - garden Theatre. Mr. Gye's account of what took place at that interview Was, that as soon as be entered the room Miss Wagner said, "Je suis üb re ," that she was now at liberty t o enter into an agreement with him (Mr. Gye), inasmuch as Mr. Lumley bad not, kept one of the terms of h is agreement with Mi ss Wa g ner—viz., t o pay her the sum of 300/ upon account on the 15th of March. R e admitted that Miss Wagner wanted him to wait a day or two longer , b u t he refused, and at , once concluded an agreement by which he covenanted to pay Miss Wagner nearly' double the amount *raised by . Mr. Lumley, and also to give her an indemnity, Lord Campbell observed that Mr. Gye knew . at the time that he was outbidding Mr. Lumley, Sir F. Thesiger said the acc ount _ give n . of this inter view by Miss Wagner t o Dr. Bacher, as proved-by Dr. Bacher at the trtal, was rather different. Dr. Bacher said, ,!` The first thing she (Miss Wagner) said was, I haVe committed a very bad action against you.' What have you d ' I said, She said, I have signed another enn-vromento.ne answered, That is impos sille.' She' said, ' .As I signed the engagement my hands trembled, but Mr. Gyo has been here to say to us that M r . Lumley ivo . uld not open, and offered me 20,000 f. More, and gave me a guarantee for all the da mages. I was so muc h em ba rrassed I had not time to think.'" The learned counsel contended that all the cir cumstances were strong-to show that Mr. Gye knew the .agreement with Mr. Lumley was a subsisting agreement, and that ho had induced Miss Wagner, by a bribe and indemity, to violate it. The learned counsel then pro ceeded to contend a correspondence which had passed 'between Mr. Gye and Miss Wagner, and particularly two letters of the 7th of December, 1.851, and the 9th of 'January, 1852, had been improperly received in evi dence. Those letters were well calculated to excite pre judice, but he submitted they were not evidence on the issue. - --- Lord Campbell - said a part of the iilaintiff's case was that Mr. Gye nada fide entered into negotiations with Miss Wagner after gbe had entered into her agreement With gr..

Thenew "magical drama" Produced' on Wednesday night with the title Faust and Margueritl, is a close adaptation of a Fiench piece of the dime name, written by M. Michel Carre, and brought out At the Gyiinnase in Augtut, 1860. As may be supliPseti,.the incidents are taken' from (lathe's immortal poem, but these are arranged after such a new fashion that, although no single situation is exactly origi nal, the whole leaves an impression very different from that of the German work. The opening scene shows us Faust in his study, Tho doe , for does not exhibit that craving after knowledge which Gtithe assigned to him; but merely wishes to " see life," and feel the delights of love. A hasty invocation of the fiend causes Mephi-to - pheles to appear, who tempts him by show ing a vision of the fair Marguerite, and, on the signature of a contract, promises to introduce him to her in reality. The BC6IIO changes, and represents a street in' an old fashioned German town, with a cathedral in the distance, and a hostelry full of roystering students, who celebrate the departure to the wars of Marguerite's brother Valen tine. Feast and Mephistopheles enter, and, while the for mer follows the lovely Marguerite to the cathedral; the latter astounds the party in' the tavern by thawing . wi ne from the cask which, with Bacchus upon it, forms the sign of the establishment, and telling fortunes in no very agree.. able style. The second act, which takes place in the garden of Mar guerite's house, more closely follows the German poem than the rest of the piece, and the progress of Faust in gaining the affections of Marguerite, as well as the efforts of the detestable old Martha to win the heart of Mephistopheles, are carried out precisely as indicated by Goethe. But even here the author, while he adopts the plan and some of the situations of the great German, carefully avoids similarity of detail, and thus we are constantly warned off - the origi nal, while we are greatly tempted to recollect it. The third act, which takes place outside the cathedral, and is dup posed to follow the seduction of Marguerite by Faust, c ompr i ses the return of Valentine and the duel with the seducer, which ends with his untimely death. At this point the tale is brought to a sudden termination, Marguerite falls dead with grief at the fate of her brother, but her spirit ascends to heaven. Faust, on time other hand, is conducted-by I feplibktophels down a- well, which is supposed to lead to S. placaunmntionable to ears polite. The plot just described i s an instance of Frenolringe unity employed on the task of transforming the most un dramatic drama in. the world into a compact effective melodrama. The poetry and philosophy of the original are dismissed at one fell swoop, and nothing is left but such practical dialogue as may serve to connect the " effects" of the piece. As this total absents of poetry may m i nima an uneasy sensationin the mind of the spectator who goes to see Faust and Marguerite. primed with strong doses of Gotha, we would advise as deep an oblivion as possible of the original German text, for it would be a pity to.mar the effect of a very magnificent and admirably acted tale -of enchantment bYinconvetnent reminiscences. As a spectacle, this is one of the most tasteful ai!cl ela borate ever seen even on the boards of the. Princess's Theatres- The whole action takes place in 4 scenes, but every one of them is a gem of its kind; and the details, architectu ral and social, of old German life are represented to perfec tion. Especial attention has been paid to the grouping and movement of the masses who form the background to the principal figures. Thus the throng of visitors who press into the cathedral, while almost every individual has a distinctive Occupation, and th e crow d (after Retzsch) who surround the dying Valentine, are excellent specimens of mere earthly effects. - For the unearthly part of the business we might cite the first revelation of Marguerite to Faust, but the -whole piece - terminates with suoh an extraordinary burst of supernatural splendour, that it thrusts all antecedents of a similar kind into compara tive oblivion. This is the ascent of Marguerite, borne by angels to the regions pf bliss, while the cathe dral slowly sinks in the foreground. The group is after a well = known picture of St. Catherine, and seldom has a theatrical effect excited so much admiration and astonishment. The admiration is bestowed on the beauty of the group, which is wondrously heightened by an effective distribution of light ; the astonishment is produced by the mysterious manner in which the figures ascend. Neither rope, nor bar, nor wire is visible, but, like the figures in the last Christmas piece at the Lyceum, Marguerite and her companions sail through empty space by means unknown to the uninitiated into modern stage - contrivances. Mr. Charles Keau's Mephistopheles stands pre-eminent in the histrionic part in the exhibition. The fami liar fiend of Giithe- is sarcastic, but the fiend in the new piece is decidedly comic; uttering so much cun ning satire as blunt downright truth. His odd re partees, not very . pungent as far as the writing is concerned, gained immense value from the peculiar humour with which they were uttered by Mr.. Kean. His manner was not caustic, his gestures were not, for the most paft, demoniac, but be hovered -about the stage as a sort of eccentric philosopher, who, without having very bad heart, Was pleased to find his ill-natured theories prove correct. As for the " make-up" of the character. it was - admirable. So 'completely had Mr. Charles Kean identified himself with the demon he assumed to be, that it was hard to. trace Ms original featurei. A similar praise for perfect transformation may be -awarded to Airs. Winstanley, for hard indeed it was to recognize the handsome buxom widow of genteel comedy in the hideous beldame whose advances would even terrify a Mephistopheles. Faust, respectably played by Mr. Fisher, is, after all, a mere nonentity in this French version Of. the .atory ; but Marguerite served to display to an extraordinary degree the talents of Miss Leclorq. Her appearance, both as the happy innocent girl, and as the victim of remorse, was beau tifully picturesque, and her pantomime, which was important throughout, was always graceful and impressive. Mr. Cathcart did himself more than usual credit in the part of Valentine, and•-the death -scene was most impres sively done. The audience, who had followed the - piece eagerly - throughout, were raised to a pitch of the highest enthusiasm by the beauty of the concluding picture, and the curtain fell amid tumultuous applause. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— We regret to announce the death of Mr. Charles Tarrant, eng ineer of the cana l d epartment o f the Midland line, which was occasioned by his being run over by a locomotive shortly after half-past four o'cloCk on Thursday evening. It appears that the engine which was to convey the 5 p.m. down-train to Enfield had been taken in fuel at the coke-oVens, and was coin ing down the inclined plane, in the direction of the ter minus, at considerable spe e d, f or th e purpose o f b e i ng attached to its train, at the same time that the decease* gentleman was returning along the ,line, from his own house, as he was iii thelitibit of doing each day Efter lun cheon. Mr. Tarranf had just reached the wooden platform. where the tickets are- usually taken, at which point the road is suddenly narrowed, owing to a deep water-cat that runs on the side of it, and but for which peculia rity the accident might, in all probability, have been avoided, when his hat was blown off in consequence of the draft caused by the rapid approach of the engine and tender ; and having stooped :to recover it the skirts of his coat were caught by the machinery and he was dragged under the - wheels, winch completely removed the hinder portion of his skull, causing instantaneous death ; and after dragging the body along the line for a distance of 50 yards, finally tore off one of the thighs ' 4 ;se and otherwise mangled the remains. It is said that the coming danger was observed by a man at the side of the road, who gave the alarm by crying out to Mr. Tarrant ; upon which the engine-driver shut off steam and reversed the lever of the locomotive, but unfortunately with ou t elect, as it was it the time within two perches of the deceased. Thomas Dowd, the engine-driver, was in stantly placed under arrest, to abide the issue of the in vestigation, which will be held this day, before Dr. Kir wan,• one of the coroners for Dublin, into all - the circuni stances connected with the melancholy catastrophe. The engine‘driver'fi said to have always held the character of a steady, sober man. CATASTROPHE AT BRADWELL, DERBYSHIRE.—Four men lie dead at the works erected four or five years ago, near the old cupola in Bradwell, for the purpose of ex• tracting, by an improved process, lead from the slag or refuse of the old smelting furnace. These works have been standing about a year, and were being re-coin menced on Wednesday.
