With a view of seeing what could be done, a trial trip was made last week to Antwerp, by the new iron mail steamship Aqnilla, one of the fleet of the North of Europe Steam Naviga tion Company. Several gentlemen were on board ; among them were Mr. R. Stephenson, M.P., Mr. Pete, M.P., Mr. Bidder, C.E., and Captain Andrews. The Aquilla, which is about 300 tons burden, was designed by Mr. John Dud geon , an d i s a first-class mail packet. She is fitted with a pair of oscillating engines of 120 horse power. Her average speed was 17 miles an hour during the trip, which she accomplished in a very satisfactory manner, proving herself to be an excellent sea boat. The fittings of the saloon and cabin are of a superior descrip tion. On the return trip the Aquilla proceeded to Gravesend, which distance she performed in 12 hours, a remarkably rapid run. On the opening of this branch line and the running of the steamers, passengers leaving the metropolis in the morning will reach Antwerp or Rotterdam early in the evening.

THE INFAMOUS COMPULSORY VACCI NATION ACT.—People of England,—By this law we are not only chained, under pain of fine and impriscnment, to the chariot wheels of Doctors and their false and scandalous theories, but worse than all, the most loathsome diseases are by vaccination introduced into the bodies of our children, besides scrofula and consumption. Now that the law is passed, doctors themselves admit that this may be the effect of vaccination.—See the " Lancet," July 29, 1554. How much more of doctor ;, &ring and trading are we to have in the Houses of Parliament? Are honourable members aware that they suffer with the rest, and that their money is no sort of protection ? Again we say read the letters addressed to the British Colleg , of Health, New•road, London, on the subject of Vaccination, which may be had by post (gratis) on forwarding a postage stamp.—lssued by the BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-road, London.

Theessential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con- sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Ito perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, nd how the evil and it s consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any de gree o f physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a curs. The Author has for a series of years b een engaged in an extensive Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately been too generally confid e d t o the care of ignorant araldrica, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Ten thousand a year and a title far- ot the e t fur nish tolerably strong inducements to a law suit, and nothing less was involved in the present instance. Mr. Warren's novel describes no more extraordinary inci dents than came out on the trial which was to decide which of the parties in the present suit was to possess the "Ten Thousand a Year" in question. The defen dant in the suit, the Viscount Mountgarret, is the son of Henry Butler, the third son of the eighth Viscount Mountgarret. The plaintiff is the son of the fourth son, Colonel Butler. He brings the action against his cousin on the score of the illegitimacy of the latter. Henry Butler, the third son above mentioned, appears to have been a veritable type of the Irish roue of the lastscen tory. He was extravagant, reckless, and licentiou . It is to be supposed that he possessed all those Irish attrac tions which proved so irresistible half a century ago. His first exploit was to carry off the wife of a Mr. Bar rington, whom, however, he very soon deserted, as it appears that his aim in these matters was not only love but money. He then fell in with a Mrs. Colebrooke, possessed, according to the speech of the plaintiff's counsel, of every charm, every virtue, and, what was more to Mr. Butler's purpose, from 1,2001. to 1,8001. a year. The fascinating Irishman made, however, as short work with Mrs. Colebrooke's virtue as he probably did with her money. As the property of the lady, who was a widow, was to be forfeited in the event of a second marriage, this highly honourable gentleman preferred making her a harlot, and his possible future progeny illegitimate, rather than marry her and lose the income. The fruit of this intimacy was a child, since dead. Some me afterwards another child was born, who died fice: In the course of the year 1810, the lady removed to Edinburgh along with Henry Butler, for the purpose, as alleged by the plaintiff, of hav ing a Scotch form of marriage gone through. Whether Butler repented, or whether he absented himself for the purpose of indulging in any of his favourite pursuits, as suggested by the plaintiff's counsel, is not known. It is certain that the lady was left in Edin burgh. There, proving how much the first step has to do with the "road to ruin," this lady, described "as the most fascinating and beautiful of women, and gene rous in heart and purse," fell an easy victim to the at tractions of a second seducer. Mr. Butler returned, and found Mrs. Colebrooke living with that gentleman, -a Mr. Taafe, in the same house. A " scene" ensued. Mr. Taafe was locked in one room—the fair cause of this confusion walked with Mr. Butler into another, and, after remaining with him a short time, the ser vants were called up, and the two parties declared themselves to be man and wife, in the presence of the assembled parties. Poor Mr. Taafe was thrown overboard by Mr. Whiteside's female paragon, and Mr. Butler and herself lived together for a while as man and wife, until he took it into his head to turn' her away. In despair she returned to her late admirer Taafe, with whom she again took up her residence. In the meantime Mr. Butler married again. The bride this time was a Miss Harrison, the mother of the present defendant. The plaintiff sought to eject the defendant from the succession, inasmuch as the marriage with Mrs. Colebrooke was valid according to the Scotch law, in which case th a t w i th Miss Harrison was illegal. The verdict was for the plaintiff, and it would seem that it could scarcely be otherwise, as there could be little doubt that the marriage with Mrs. Cole brooke was a legal Scotch marriage. This is a strange mutation of circumstances resulting from the acts of a worthless man fifty years back. It is only within the last three years that the evidence has been procured which established the fact of a marriage between Butler and Mrs. Colebrooke. The result of that evidence has been to transfer an immense fortune and a title. The defendant is in every view of. the case entitled to the greatest commiseration. His mother was, for no fault of her own, disgraced, and himself illegitimised, in addition to the loss of his fortune and position ; and all this the fruits of a vice which even now does not meet with that reprehension in society which its enormity demands Arm wise. EMBARKATION OF STAFF OFFICERS AT SOUTHAMPTON. This morning (Wednesday) the Harbinger, screw steam-ship, hired of the General Screw Steam Naviga tion Company for transport service, embarked in the docks at Southampton Lieut.-General the Hon.

Cross-examined by Prisoner —Did you ever say to an officer who is now gone to Turkey that I had been a badly treated and ill-used man ever since I had been in the re giment ? Witness—l have no recollection of it. Prisoner—Did you not say so to Lieut. Sherrington the night before the two companies left to go to Turkey ;. and did you not say so to Li eut. SherrisnA 2, who came into your room to wish y ou g ood b ye ; zi o are you not aware that ex pressions of your good f eelin g towards roe? Witness—l can only say, as I s a id b efore, I do not re collec after Sherrington quitted my room I heard him go up stairs, but Whether he went into thaving leavings said yourd so. room After he came to mine, with prisoner's room or not I canno t sa y. Prisoner—Will you now positively u n d ertake to say you did not say so? recollection Wit nes s—As far as my goes, I say again I did not say so. tial Prisoner—Since this court-mar . has been sitting have of the proceedings in the d • you read the reports subjectand and have you discussed the nature of the a d evi dence with any and what o f ' who Were they, rand what has been said to you om time to time by those officers ? Witness—l have seen the daily papers, and I have dis cussed the evidence with one or two officers of the regi ment. Mr. Coots is ono of those officers. I really cannot state the different remarks Mr. _Coots made. P r i son er—How many officers have been with you, and what are their names? Witness —Six or seven, I should say. I decline to men tion their names. Prisoner—May I beg the court to press for those names? The Court delib era ted, and made no orde r , th e pres id ent remarking, " It will be a ll in yofavour, Mr. Perry?' Prisoner—lt will be impossible d for me to clear myself if they are suffered to shield themselves in this manner. The two last questions and answers were again read by ocate at the request of theprisoner. the Deputy-Judge-Adv Uoots' Prisoner—Why did you mention name, when there were six others? Witness—l had more conversation with Mr. Coots than I had with any other. ' Prisoner—As the witnes s declines answ • ering my ques tions I will put no more to him. By the Court —When Lieut. Sherrington left your room, had you authorised him to deliver any message to the pri soner from you ? Witness—l did not, to my recollection. I do not recol lect having authorised him to deliver an ymmage to the prisoner. By the Court—Did you hear Colonel Garrett at any time reproach prisoner for reporting, and call him a fool for his pains? Witness—No. By the Court—Do you know of any indignity suffered by the prisoner in consequence of such report ? Witness—l do not. By the Court—Are you aware that Captai n Ni c h o l as reprimanded au officer for annoying others ? Witness—l have heard of it, but was not present. By tho Court —Were y ou present when Colonel Garrett reprimanded an officer for annoying prisoner, and how many subalterns were present on that occasion? Witness—As far as I can recollect I was on detachment at the time it occurred. By the Court—Are you aware whether the prisoner, either by word or by letter, threatened Colonel Garrett to appeal to the general of the district ? Witness—l am not aware of it. Prisoner—May I be permitted to call Colonel Garrett to ask him only two questions? The President thought he had better exhaust his ques tions first ; he had only to call two more witnesses, Adj a taut M'Alister and Lieutenant Heathcoate. Adjutant M'Alister recalled and re-examined. Prosecutor put the four usual first questions, in answer to which Witness said he had never received ill-treatment from Captain Nicholas; on the contrary, they had been good friends ever since he first joined ; that he did not ill-treat young officers, but was good natured and affable to them. Cross-examined by the Prisoner—How many times did Colonel Garrett tell me in your presence to sell out before the first court-martial? Witness—You know very well that your selling out or not was purely optional, and you never were told to sell out. Prisoner—Was I ever asked or advised by Colonel Gar rett to sell out, and how many times ? hr s e o s n ehl e la r do — us D tp: i d ak en n nd o : t twoh oo Colonel nweaosf tGh theai s r r s e u t t t h s o a r i y i authoritiesny Witness—You were advised to sell out by Colonel Gar rett through me several times. b th e r Guards, who said that I had no chance, and that I had that tri e 7 a o t il the presenceH or Horse Witness—l appeal to the president and the court. I do not feel myself at liberty to state what Colonel Garrett said to me when acting as his adjutant; but I may add that I do not know the name of the person alluded to in the question. Prisoner—l do not press the question if he declines to answer it, although it was not confidential. It was said in my presence. By the Court—Under what circumstances was the pri soner advised to sell out ? Witness—After an assault committed by him on Lieu tenant Greer. Lieutenant Greer was also advised to pur sue the same course. By the Court—Can you state that Captain Nicholas ever reprimanded an officer for annoying others? Witness—No, I cannot, as Captain, Nicholas would naturally _seek a private opportunity of doing so. Lieutenant Resketh recalled and vs-examined. In answer to the four usual questions, he sa id h e h a d been in the regiment six years, and that Captain Nicholas's treatment to young officers was kind and good. The Coart adjourned ten minutes. On its re-opening, Captain Campbell was sworn, and the Prosecutor asked—How long have you known Captain Nicholas ? Witness—Upwards of nine years. Cross-examined by Prisoner—Will you state for what length of time you have been in the regiment during the last two years? Witness—l should say nearly fifteen months, about nine months being passed on leave. Prisoner—Have you known or heard of any practical jokes in which Captain Nicholas has been engaged ? Witness—A practical joke is a wide term. fhave never known him engaged in a practical joke calculated to annoy any person. By the Court—Are you aware that Lieut. Perry's so ciety has been shunned by his brother officers, and why ? Wit ness —My own reasons for shunning him are as fol lows : his impertinent familiarity towards me ; his gene rally depraved habits, a disgusting gesture he made use of towards a friend of mine, and the general difficulty I had during the short time he was under my command of keep ing him within the bounds of discipline. By the Court—Have you been much with the prisoner on military duty? Witness—l have never been on any special military duty with him ; he was under my command about a month on detachment. By the Court—Can you specify any cases of breach of military discipline? Witness—l had on one or two occasions to speak to the prisoner relative to his remissness, and on a third occasion he wrote to me for an extension of leave, and took the ex tension without being aware of the answer. For this I publicly remanded him before all the officers of the detach ment. I stopped all future leave, and threatened him with an arrest. By the Court—What are the specific depraved habits to which you allude? Witness—My opinion was formed from hearsay—what had been told me by my brother officers. The specific habits were his keeping the society of prostitutes. By the Court—Did Lieut. Perry ever treat military dis cipline with contempt while at Manchester? Witness—Yes. The disgusting gesture I alluded to was an instance. By the Court—Can you state what happened when the disgusting gesture was made ? Witness—l was sitting in my room at Manchester when the acting adjutant came to my room in a state of great excitement, and said he had never been so insulted in his life. I asked him what was the matter. Ho said he had an occasion to hand an official memorandum to Ensign Perry, who 'had made a gesture of wiping his posteriors with it, and then handed it back to him. Prisoner here asked permission to have the whole of the papers relative to the transaction laid before the court. Witness continued—He asked me what was to be done. I told him to go straight to Major Fyffe and report it. By the Court—Did you at any time hear Colonel Gar rett reprimand the prisoner, and call him fool for his pains? Witness—Never. By the Court—Are you aware that the prisoner threat ened to report to the commanding officer in consequence of the treatment he received ? Witness—l never heard of such a circumstance until I read the newspaper report of Lieut. Greer's trial. Prisoner auras-examined this - witnees_through the court. By the 'Court—Have you never been in the society of prostitutes, and are not most of the officers addicted to the society of prostitutes ? Prisoner (addressing the Court)—l am sorry to intro duce such matter, and have studiously avoided throwing discredit on any of my brother officers, but I shall be obliged to do so now in my own defence, in consequence of irrelevant matter having been allowed to be introduced. Witness—l have been in the society of prostitutes my self, but most of the officers are not addicted to the society of prostitutes. The prisoner again requested the paper to be read before the court. The Court—Yes; certainly. The court was then cleared, and remained in delibera tion about an hour. When the public were again admitted, The Deputy Judge-Advocate said that on referring to a clause in the Mutiny Act, they found that no witness was bound to give evidence to criminate himself or others ; but if such evidence is found necessary to support the charge it must be given. The court had given prisoner every indul gence, and, after alluding to the evil results of recrimina tion, said that the court had finally decided that these questions could not be put. Prisoner—l place my character in the hands of my com manding officer. Prisoner wished the papers to be produced and an exami nation made of them. The Court—At present there is nothing .put before the court on which an application can be granted. Prisoner to Witness—What was the result of this dis gusting affair ? Witness—The case was reported to Major Fyffe, letters were written by Lieut. Sherrington to Ensign Perry, and finally Lieut. Sherrington consented to treat it as a jest, and not as a breach of discipline. By the Court—Where are the letters alluded to ? Witness—l believe in the custody of the present adjutant. Prosecutor—l shall have no further evidence to bring before the court. The Court then adjourned until to-morrow (this day). THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. FOREIGN-OFFICE, JULY 22.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at the Railway station, St. Helen's— Mr. Greenall, M.P., in the chair. The SECRETARY (Mr. Sinclair), at the request of the Chairman, read the following report : "The directors have to report that the increase in the gross traffic receints for the six months just ended, when compared with the same period of 1853, is 6,5901., against which must be placed an increase of working and renewal charges of 2,8531., and of interests on loans and preference dividends of 5,8981. The gross revenue for the half-year, as shown in the statement of accounts circulated among the shareholderss, is 30,2351. 3s. 4d. ; and the working charges, rates, taxes, and rents amount to 11,3311. 6s. 2d., or 37i per cent. on the receipts, leaving a surplus of 18,903/. 17s. 2d. ; deducting from which for interest onloans 6,4931. 12s. 9d.; for renewal of permanent way, 3501. ; and for additional works, 2361.185. 3d.-7,0801. h a. ; leaves 11,8231. 6s. 2d. To which must be added the balance left, after payment of the dividend declared at the last general meeting, 1381. 3s. 84.-11,9611. 9s. 10d. • out of which th e directors propose that a divid en d should be declared for the past half-year, payable on the 19th of August, of / per cent. on stock A, 792/. ' • of 2i per cent. on s t oc k B , 3 , 6001 .; of 3 per cent, on stock C, 3,7571. 10s. ; of 21 per cent. on stock D, 2,4751.115. 3d. ; of 21 per cent. on the 251. shares, 1852, 1591::12s.; and 2i- per cent. on the 201. shares , 1853, of 1,0311. 9s. 11d.-11,8161. 3 s . 2d . ; l eav i ng a balance to be carried to the next account of 1451. 6s. Bd. tThe number of passengers conveyed during the half year was 309,546, being 61,064 more than in the same portion of last year, while the weight of coals and merchandise conveyed was 236,920 tons on the canal, and 340,981 tons on the railway, or together 577,901 t t h o o ns, co b rr ei es ng po 6 4 B l 244 tons more nsmo o re f 1853. than the weight directors carried in are en gaged in negoti a ti ons w hi c h they trustwillsecure a con siderable additi ona l revenue , and their confid ence i n th e ultimate suc cess o f th e dock, as well as of the undertaking generally, remains unabated. The passenger traffic con tinues to exhibit a . gradnal and steady increase. The canal traffic shows a diminution, owing to the very severe frost in the commencement of the year." The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the report and the statementof accountsbe adopted, observed that he wished it had been in his power to have announced to them a larger balance for the payment of dividend than the balance of 7991. 3s. He was quite confident that although at the present moment they were not so flourishing from the circumstance of their having had to pay, during the half-year just terminated, a very large increase bf the preferential capital, and althongh they were only able to pay a quarter per cent, upop;Stpek A, he was confident they might still entertain a very'ra — v - ourable opinion of their preperty. He could. not say how long the holders of original stock would receiveo small a dividend, but he pointed to the extraordinary increase of traffic as a strong guarantee of future amendment and prosperity. In 1849, only five years ago, the gross income of the company was 31,0001., while the income during theyear ending 1854 was 62,0001. He hoped, 'therefore, that proprietors would feel assured that ultimately their in vestment would be a valuable one, and that they would not be disappointed by merely present appearances. The motion was carried. The payment of a dividend after the rates mentioned in the report was then sanctioned. After considerable discussion it was put to the meeting as an amendment, whether the retiring directors (in cluding Mr. Fosberry) should be re-elected, or whether the original motion for the appointment of Messrs. Smith, Steers, Rushton, Barlow, and R. Dagleish be adopted. On a show of hands the motion was carried. This clopefi the business. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

SCOTTISH AUSTRALIAN INVRSTALENT COMPANY. ---A meeting of the Scottish Australian Investment Company took place yesterday, when it was agreed to increase the capital by an issue of 100,000 shares of 11. each (payable by instalments of 55.) at par, to be distributed rateably among the proprietors. It is stated that not more than 50,0001. is likely to be required for some time, although the final call s w ill mainly depend upon the advices from the manager in the colony respecting the progress of operations and the prospects of profitable investments. The manager's reports exhibits profits for the half-year ending the 31st of December last, of 18,8481., from which a dividend has been declared at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, leaving 11,7821. to be carried to the reserve fund, which will thus be increased to 16,8841.
