J, Payne, deputy coroner, and a jury of 23 citizens. The first was on the body of Daniel Blackstaff Donovan, aged 33, au expugilist; the second on the body of Walter Watts, also aged 33, r(cently clerk in the Globe Insurance office, and formerly lessee of the Marylebone and Olympic Theatres. On Friday Donovan was tried at the Central Criminal Court and sentence of death recorded against him; and the earns day the deceased Watts was brought up for judgment and sentenced to ten years' transports din]. The following evidence will show the nature of their offences and the circumstances of their self. ch struction:— Mr. Under-Sheriff Millard and Mr. David Wire were present during the two investigations. Mr. W. Cope examined—l am governor of this prison, and deceased's name was Daniel Blackstaff Donovan. He came in on the Ist of July. He was charged with wound ing and throwing out of a window of a certain dwelling house Anne Donovan, with the intent to kill end murder her. He was tried on Friday morning before Mr. Baron Alderson at the Central Criminal Court , convicted, - and sentence of death recorded against him. I did not see him after the sentence, as I was on business at the Secretary of State's office, respecting the removal of prisoners to Milbank prison. The first body that the jury has visited is his. His age is 33, and he described himself as being a smith. On his admission he appeared very well. I saw bim yes terday morning before his trial, and saw him every day during his imprisonment. I did not observe anything at all particular in his manner. He was a man of violent temper generally. I used to have him out of his cell to ' work, and if anything was said to him ho would turn sulky and abuse me dreadfully. After such a eentence as that passed on deceased a prisoner is taken into such a cell as ho was in. I was not at home when this occur red. One of the turnkeys was left to watch over him, but Rot in the cell with him. I did not hear of his death until about four o'clock on my return from Milbank prison. He was tried Soon after ten A.M. on Friday, end Sitlt laced soon after one o'clock P.M. The turnkey in charge of him could see into his cell through the usual opening in the door. In my absence the deputy-governor is left in charge of the prison. After deceased had been put into his cell he had seen two or three officers, but no one else. Mr. George Wright examined.—l am deputy governor of Newgate. I was not present when sentence of death was passed on Donovan. I saw him after wards, and was summoned from the Third Court imme diately the accident occurred—about 20 minutes to 3 on Friday afternoon. I went to the bath-room, where I found him in a warm bath. had seen him frequently, several times every day, from the time of his admission up to his trial. On his first coming into the prison he appeared in good health, and I never remarked anything extraordinary in his manner. I saw him in the morn ing before his trial. He did not then appear different from what he had been before. When I first saw him in the bath he did not appear to be dead. I increased the warmth of the bath, got more assistanc e, and a pp lied friction. Medical men were sent for. The first that ar rived was from St. Bartholomew's Hospital who exa mined and pronounced him dead. A Juror—What are the instructions your prison officers receive in cases of this sort? Witness.—The instructions are general—to watch the prisoners generally. There is no fixed time for looking into the cells. The officers are to examine them as often as they can. By Mr. D. Wire—Every effort was made, as woe as the accident was discovered, to obtain prompt medical assistance. By Mr. Under-Sheriff Millard—Warm baths are al was kept ready in the prison. Mr. James Josiah Millard examined—l was under sheriff on duty yesterday in the Central Criminal Court, and was present during the trial of deceased. The con duct of the prisoner was perfectly cool and collected— remarkably so for one in his position. He cross examined his two children and wife, the chief witnesses against him, and their answers seemed to make little impression on him. He read his defence with great care and deliberation. It was very long and seemed to have been a ritten by himself. He was found guilty of intent to murder, and the judge ordered sentence of death to be recorded, with this observation—" The pri soner's case will be recommended to the merciful con sideration of her Majesty in order that his life may be spared." After the sentence was pronounced he ap peared unconcerned and retired from the deck in the dogged way he had come into it. The general rules for the turnkeys are, that they should examine the cells at frequent intervals, allowing no unreasonable time to elapse between each examination. When parties are ordered for execution two persons remain in the cell constantly with them day and night. This is not the case when sentence of death is only recorded. Henry Todman (turnkey) examined—l was on duty yesterday over the cell in which deceased was, and when he was brought to it after trial he seemed quite col lected and perfectly quiet. He was dressed in the clothes ho was tried in. His hands and feet were not confined. It is my duty to watch in a sort of passage in front of these cells, into which I can see. About half. past one the deceased was brought to the cell. I locked him in. He asked for his dinner, which I gave to him, and ho then refused to eat it, saying he could not. He then asked me for some water to drink. I gave it him, and he drank it. I then went away, and came back to him at five minutes past two. He said he should like to see his wile, and I said he should have an opportu nity. He also asked me if ho could write a letter, and I said that I must report his request to the governor, as it is contrary to the rules to write without leave. He was then walking backwards and forwards in his cell. I left, and at half past two came to see him again. He was then suspended by his haudiserchisf. I opened the ce:l, and went in and took a knife and cut the ha,ad kerchief, which was round his neck and fastened to the bars of the call windows. Ido not know whether it was a neck or ho must pocket nicrumtld h nota b y a e n r dse stood c e oh r d c ui theipe of bar . n ,1113 f from o s mb feetc theds t w e ga e rd r o we on o dff, theand reached ground. t h nk i ts n ai s g kt ead mnt i n n s t t h ra e ig in h fi t. rm W ery h , en I cut him down he was a little warm.

Two gentlemen soon came, saw him, and pronounced him dead. Dy a Juror—When I out him down i %toed him on to the floor, and he did not fall on to his head. Prisoners under sentence of death are not at all fettered. By the CORONER_ When I went round to inspect the other cells there was no one with him jn the cell. Timothy Donovan, 12, Bell-court, Gray's Ina-lane, , said, he was a bl ac k sm i t h , an d b rot h er o f deceased, who always appeared i n goc d h ea l t h and he (witness) never heard him compl a i n o f pa i ns i n t h e h ea d. When he got drunk, which ho o ft en did, h e was ra ther abusive, but he was a very quiet and civil man when sober. The last time witness saw him was at the Bow-street police court. Frederick Walthin examined—l am attendant in the infirmary of this prison, and saw deceased after sen tence had bt-en passed on him. He was partly crying, and said he was not guilty of what he had been charged wiJl. When I was called from the infirmary to his cell I fund him on hi s b ac k on t h e fl oor , w ith his knees up. I told the turnkey t o remove hi m i m mediately to the bath-room, and th a t I wou ld go immediately for the doctor; which I did. I did not fi n d ou r own doctor at home, so I went f or anot h er , and when I came back I found two medical gentlemen from St. Bartholomew's Ilo,pital in attendance. When I first saw him in the cell, atter he had been cut down, he did not appear to me to be alive. By a Juror—There is not always a surgeon in the prison. I had to go to Hatton-garden for the assistant surgeon, but did not take a cab. Both the chief sur geon and the assistant-surgeon visit the prison daily. Mr. Sewell, the a• is s' tarn-surgeon of the prison , said he saw deceased ab ou t h a lf- past t h ree o'clock on Friday. Two or three other me di ca l men had seen him before, and remedies had been adopted to saws him. They were the usual and proper remedies in such cases. Did not think if a medical man had been present at the moment life would have been saved, as the proper remedial means had been immediately carried into effect by the prison officials. Deceased died from the effects of hanging. The DEPUTY-CORONER then summed up the evidence, and said, the points the jury had to consider were, whether the deceased had died from hanging, and whether he had hanged himself; and if so in what state of mind he was at the time. The jury consulted for a long time, and 12 of them were of opinion that deceased ha , l hung himself whilst in an unsound state of mind; the remaining 11 considered that he was not. A verdict was then recorded of " Tem porary insanity," according to the decision of the majority. The second inquest, on the body of Watts, was then proceeded with. Mr. Cope, the governor of the prison, examined—D-- ceased was brought up on the 16th of April last on two charges, for stealing an order for 1,4001., and a piece of paper, value ld. He was tried at the following May sessions of the Criminal Court, and judgment was then respited on a pint of law. Judgment was given on Friday morning, and the sentence was transportation for ten years. Ido not know whether the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeal, which was adverse to him, WAS made known to him until he was finally brought up for judgment to receive sentence. His health was bad when he first came into the prison, and he was under the doctor's care and in the infirmary ever since. I was in the court when the final sentence was passed on him, and be appeared to be in pretty good spirits after he had heard the sentence. I did not think he appeared at all depressed. In my books he is described as a clerk, and his age is recorded to be 33. After the sentence had been passed he was taken back into the infirmary, where I saw him on Friday evening. The occurrence happened in the middle of the night, and until a quarter to four o'clock this morning I knew nothing of it, when I was sent for. There were four prisoners in the same room with him, and Weldon, the infirmary assistant, slept in a room adjoining. When I was called they told me he had been dead for some time. William Smith, a prisoner, examined—l was in the infirmary last night, and I know the person who is dead, Mr. Watts, who was also there. I have been in the infirmary since last Tuesday, and had conversations with deceased, who appeared in excellent spirits. I saw him s )on after he was sentenced, and he did not appear at all different from what he had been before. I never heard him complain of anything being the matter with him. I slept three beds off from him. I and he went to bed about a quarter to nine last evening. He did not eat much supper, but he took some medicine about five minutes before he went to bed. Mr. Walden gave it to him. Before he went up to the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday morning last, he said that ho expected to be imprisoned for twelve months. On that day he was not sentenced, and he said the judges were not satisfied with Mr. Justice Cresswell's decision, and that they would write to him into the country, where that learned judge then was, and that he (Watts) was ordered to come up again on Friday. On that day, when be came back to the infirmary, le said he had got transported for tea years, but ho seemed as usual. He also said that he had expected that sentence after what the judges had told him on Weadnesday morning. I went to bed at nine, and woke again at twelve o'clock list night. All was thee quiet. I awoke again at three, and lay awake until a quarter to four th:s morning. I then turned round in my bed, and missed Mr. Watts, and, seeing his slippers and boots under his bed, I then thought something strange was the care, and being sure that he had not got up between three o'clock and a quarter to four I sus pected that something was wrong. I awoke the prisoner next to me, and communicated to him my suspicions. He immediately jumped out of bed, and went to the water-closet at the other end of the infirmary, and he called for a knife, saying Mr. Watts was there hanging quite dead and cold. I went—the other prisoner's name was Shipton—and saw Mr. Watts there. We rang the bell fur the officer. Deceased was hanging suspended by a bit of cord fastened by the side of his neck from some bars across a window, which was over and by the side of the water-closet. The feet of the deceased were just touching the ground and were tied together with a silk handkerchief. He was banging about a foot from the seat of the water-closet. I think I could reach the bars of the window from the ground; he was banging quite perpendicularly, with his back to the wall and his eyes wide open. When we called for assistance, Mr. Weldon came with a knife and the deceased was cut down, and Shipton took him and l a id hi m on t h e floor of the in firmary. A doctor was sen t f or, a l t h oug h Mr. Watts was quite dead. He was in hi s s hi rt , with a napkin on his chest and a locket susp en d e d f rom hi s nec k. By a Juror—l believe the rope was cut out of the sacking of the bedstead. It corresponded with a piece that was wanting. All the knives are given back after every meal, and deceased had one to cut his dinner and supper with on Friday. I never heard him say anything about doing away with himself—quite the other way. He was always in full spirits, and did not appear to me to be ill. By Mr. t 1 vh D ao e a w v fi i av d ts et W r . three-quarters of an hour that I was awake deceased did ire—l am certain that during the t 3 t A I t l s r p .

H e was very,cheerful throughout, ery and very w e ll con d ucte d towar d s a ll. He was con tinually complaining of headaches, but said they were diminishing, and I still thought it right to keep him in the infirmary. He was a very excitable person, but it is very difficult to say whether an unexpected sentence would derange his brain or not. He frequently repeated that he had had a great deal of difficulty about his theatres, and in other ways. Robert Shipton, a prisoner in the infirmary, ex amined—l spoke to Mr. Watts somewhere about nine o'clock on the Friday evening. Our conversation was about the prison rules. We went to bed without wishing one another good ni • h g t, which was not usual. He appeared very cheerful, as was his custom. I went to sleep, and was aw o k e i n t h e morning, at a quarter to four o'clock, by William Smith, who said that Mr. Watts was not iu bed nor in the ward. I jumped up in a fright, and made the best of my way to the water-closet, the only place I thought he could go to. When I opened the doer I saw him hanging by a piece of rope from the first cross bar of the window, which i, in part over and part by the side of the seat of the vc ater-closet. I immediately called out for a knife, and whilst they were bringing it I took hold of his hand, and found it quite cold and stiff. The officer brought the knife, and I held the body . up, and he cut the rope, and I took deceased into the infirmary. He was quite dead, and I carried him in my arms like a piece of timber. I have been in the infirmary five weeks, and the knives we use at cur meals are always taken away and put into a cupboard. Mr. Sewell, the assistant -surgeon, said that he was called that m orning a little before four o'cleck. He came immediately to the prison, and found deceased quite dead, and he must have been so for two or three hours previously. There was a mark on the neck. D ecease d', face was very wadi conge.ted, and he had been bleed ing from the nose, all which were symptoms of death from hanging. Saw dtceased daily, and co .curred in the opinion of Pr. WMurdo. Thought that the pains in the head, of which deceased complained, were caused by a dlscased condition of the brain, mod that was pro duced by hard drinking. After a few remarks from the CORONER, the jury imme diately returned an unanimous verdict of " 'Temporary insanity.' ehecibecame London, ,upwwh which establishment; th© latter theatrical sp-culations was looked upon as a °ruing, he would have his most carriage sin gular and somewhat extravagant person, Watts r long nls, t 3a i n m ad e cwo b uh e n tio tn : y e: He kept his townwwasas nearg n o eu generally l a i yg n h d ct; i a a n and servant in wa i t i n g at the London-b r id ge terminus ready w t 9 the (lobe Insurance-oface, in any place he might wish to visit. Although he enjoyed a good salary, it was a matter of astonishment to many how ha could keep up such an appearance, more espe cially as he was in the habit of giving, on frequent oc casions, champagne breakfasts and other expensive en tertainments. Prior to taking either the Marylebone or Olympic Theatre, he mixed freq aesitly with batting men, and according to his own account was lucky enough to win considerable sums of money. From what has since transpired, there is every reason to believe tha., instead of his gaicieg such large sums as he had represented, he was a considerable loser by his, speculations. His de falcations to the Globe Insurance Company reached, it is said, to nearly 80,0001, a small: portion of which will have to be made good by his benfzinen.—Observer. The career of Donovan, who was termed an ex pugilist, was one of great dissi ration and riot. In a moment of bitter passion he hurled his wife oct of window, and how she escaped immediate d eitruction apixars marvellous. The Learned Judge before whom he was tried, Baron Alderson—Justices Pattesma and Talfuurd being also on the bench- -apparently took more than his usually great pains in eli citing the facts. The principal witnesses against Donovan were his two children and his wife. Baron Akterson had the children placed on a bench near him, and his Lordship, with considerable care, questioned them as to the knowledge of the obligation of an oath, and pointed out the awful position of their parent, and the necessity of their telling the truth. Donovan cross-exa mined them at some length, as also his wife, with mutilt seriousness, with a view of showing that she either j unaped or tumbled out of the window. The fact was not altered, however; the jury found him guilty, and, it be ing a capital offence, sentence of death was recorded age dust him. Previous to his trial he was classed with the untried prisoners; but on leaving the dock after his condemnation he was conveyed to one of the old condemned cells at the ex treme north angle of the gaol. Although probably im proved, it continues a dismal-100 king place, being 12 feet by 10, and lighted by a win dow in the passage. How he could have succeeded in destroying himself with out the watcher in the passage sewing him, if he really was on duty, is a matter which w ill, no doubt, be in quired into by the Court of Aldermen. With reference to the convict Walter Watts, there is little doubt that the unfortunate in an was led to believe that the circumstance of his being a partner and share holder in the Globe Insurance C( .repany, would be suf ficient in the eye of the law to f ibsolve him from the criminal charges brought against 1 ism. On being brought up on Wednesday morning, and h tearing the opinion of Baron Alderson, and the result of his application to the Court of Appeal, be prepared himself for a severe punishment, and it is possible tF at he then made up his mind to commit self-destruction, for the way he accomplished his object shows thset he had meditated it some time before he could effect it. As will be seen, ever since his incarceration he 'clas been an inmate of the infirmary, a comfortable wavei on the second floor, on which are some five or six cast iron bedsteads, fitted with sacking, and laced by ropes. The one occupied by Watts stood next but one to the water-closet door, and how he managed to remove the rope from the sacking of his bed—fur it was with that he strangled himself— without either exciting the attent ion of the warders or his fellow-prisoners, is a mat tE r which- perplexes all. The inference, however, is, that he must have watched his fellow-prisoners to sleep, and then raised the bedding, and removed the line. Tb e secure manner in which he fastened it round the bar of the window of the closet exhibited the determined cha meter of his purpose. He had passed it round the bar four or five times, and by jumping off the seat, the window being about six feet from the ground, ended his life ina very prompt and effective style. No relative or friend of the dece aced convict was pre sent during the proceedings before I Jae coroner.—Sunday Times. MINING INTELLIGENCE. The Mining Journal gives the following notice re specting the state of the market :-- " Much activity has existed i n the mining share market during the week, though it does not appear that more than an average amount of be fide business has been transacted. Inquiries have been numerous, but holders remain firm; while, in some ,casss, a considerable advance in price has taken place. Among those in re quest, we may name Comfort, Sout h Basset, Mary Ann, Treviskey and Barrier, Trethe Ilan, North Buller, Treleigh, &c. "In Foreign Mines there has bet in an improvement in United Mexican, which have char,ed ha,ids at an ad vance. Copiapo, St. John del Rey, Oubre, Linares, aad Santiago have also been done." As regards the present state and prospects of various mining adventures, the sa one journal states as follows : " At North Culler, the Louisa lo de is very much im proved, and the prospects are co naidered of a highly enc, , uraging character. " Mary Ann, Cook's Kitchen., Holmbush, South Basset, and Alfred Consols are a mong the improving mines reported this week. " A parcel of 30 tons of lead ore was sold from Llwyn melees Mine, on the Bth, at 12/. 55.. 61 per ton. " The monthly sale of ore from a the Kirkcudbright shire Mines was 40 tons, which realised 91. Bs. per ton. " The North Buller agent repor ts, from present pros pects, there is every reason to an ,ticipate a productive and standing mine at a deeper level. " Birch Tor and Vitifer Mines appear to have con siderably improved within the last month, and the pros pects are good. "It is arranged that the An d'srton Mine shall be worked in conjunction with the Ta vistock Consols, as the United Mines (Tavistock); and t hat the Rix-hill lode, on which a great improvement has, taken place, shall be intersected by a cross-cut from the , Anderton shaft at an 80 fm. level, being upwards of 50 Alias. under the deepest point at which the Rix-hill lode he w been seen. Also a cross-cut south, to cut another stroug lode in the same level; and the 180 fm. level east axtended through the cross-course, to cut the two lodes - tri the Tavistock Con sols, which are most highly spok,3B of by all practical miners in the locality. This appe tars to be one of the most important speculations in the district, and the amalgamation of the two undertakings affords the means of proving five most promising lodes at from 80 to 100 fens., at a trifling expense. " The Guadalcanal report of tlao committee recom mend an issue of 3,000 new shares at 21. each, for the purpose of giving trial to the operations suggested by Captain Rule, who had inspected t he mine. " At the Deep River Company's meeting a resolution was passed for dissolving the company. The amount in hand will allow of about 14s. per share being returned to such shareholders as have paid up.. " At the Santiago meeting, the report stated the ore raised during the last half-year was 712 tons, 557 of which had been sold, realising 5,1 09/. 10s. 2d.; the re mainder was estimated at 8471.; m.a king the total return 6,1201. 191. ld., showing a loss on the half-year of 1,777/. 17s. 3d. This increase of expenditure was occa sioned by opening adits and other works in the new per tenencias, on which the main success of the company would depend, as the old mines had become so poor as to be suspended. Dispatches have been received by the Imperial Bra zilian, St. John del Rey, and Natk.nal Brazilian Mining Companies. " The Imperial Brazilian gold report is to the 22d of April, giving the amount of produce from Gongo Soco, from 34 to 22d of April, 21bs. 9 ozs. 6 dwts.; Bahanal ditto, 201bs. 0 oz. 12 dwts. =_- 221bs. 9 OZ3. 18 dwts. " The St. John del Rey letters are to the 27th April, furnishing the returns for the month of March, by which we learn that a profit of 4,3091. Ile. Id. has been made —the produce being 24,126 oits. The gold extracted to the 27th April, 15,300 oits.—being 21 days' stamping, and the stone continued abundant. " The National Brazilian advisee are to the 4th of May—the produce being from Cocaes, from 4th April to 4th Mary, mks. 20 7 1 39; Cuiabs, from 28th March to 27th April, mks. 5 7 6 46= 26 7 0 13. The prospects are considerably more encouraging. " The Linares report to the 29th of June continues very favourable, and the quantity of ore raked in June i• expected to exceed that of May, which was 67 tons. The total quantity now at the mine, and at Seville,ready for shipment, is 171 tons, of which from 83 to 84 tons were dressed in June. The John and William had been chartered at 63. per ton, freight to England, and 100 tons are expected to be ready. " The Alten report has been received, furnishing the progress of operations from 4th to 24th June. In the Raipas Mine the water bed receded, and they were pre paring to set contracts in the most important part of the mine. The old mine continues without any important alteration. The lode in the new sink at Michell's is pro ducing some good work." UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. EXAMINATION FOR TIIE DEGREE OF MASTERS OF ARTS► 1850. BRANCH I. Colleges. Rushton, William BRANCH 11.

Farquhar in June of last year on the Barnean coast were really pirates. As appears by the debate of Thursday Mr. Hume, Col. Thompson, Mr. Cobden, and 26 other gentlemen are still hard of belief upon this point. Their first idea was to represent the Bnrnean coast as a kind of ma rine Arcadil, where a series of peaceful regattas was in course of perpetual celebration for the delight of all seafaring men who might happen to be passing that way, has been abandoned. What is now asked for is distinct evidence that the fleet attacked in June last was a piratical fleet, The appropriate evidence is forthcoming i❑ the certificate of Sir Christopher R. iwlinson and in the depositions of the witnesses ex arnihed before the Commission of September last—we pass over, of course, the deposition of Sir James Brooke himielf. But Colonel Thompson, Messrs. Hume, Cob den, Sce., deal with this little difficulty in the simplest form. They vote this evidence—this direct legal evidence of the piratical character of the fleet—to be non-ex isting; and then speak and act as though it existed not. Be it so. It is satisfactory, however, to find that in a House of 140 Members they could only find twenty-six sceptics to go out into the lobby with them upon this system of dealing with facts. We invite attention to Mr. Drummond's speech, not only be cause it is a clever speech and an amusing speech, but on account of the uncommon decision with which the Hon. Gentleman persists in coupling the name of Mr. Wise, Sir J. Brooke's late agent in this country, with the whole of this agitation. His address to the :louse is a mere comment upon the quotation with which he concludes it— " Death has no pangs like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a traitor scorned." It appears that a part of Mr. Wise's system has been to stir up the religious feelings of the country against the absent Raja, his late employer. Now he admi nistered a persuasive poke to the " Philanthropic So ciety," now a " thundering prospectus" emanated from the " Peace and Aborigines Protectionists," in which the same inspiration was clearly to be traced. But now that the ridiculous agitation against Sir James Brooke has received a coup de grace, we will content our selves with referring our readers to Mr. H. Drum mond's speech for further particulars on this inte resting point. The debate, however, is still more worthy of notice from the utter and entire abandon ment by Mr. Cobden of the charges against Sir James Brooke. There are no more of the old flourishes about " the private gentleman sailing in his yacht " and the sanguinary doings of the ferocious Raja. Let us do Mr. Cobden the honour of suppasing that he is very heartily ashamed of the line of argu ment into which he had been seduced, and that so, like a prudent man, he has dropped the subject of Sir James Brooke for ever. It was of course necessary for him to say something in the debate and so he fell back upon the old resource of whitewashing the pirates. Mr. Cobden was one of only 29. We are anxious, however, before dismissing this subject to deal with a point which has been a good deal mentioned. It has been said that Sir James Brooke was engaged in trading speculations, and that the mission of the philanthropist was merely a blind for the huckstering of the pedlar. Thus his defamers could beat hope to inflict damage upon his character and to shake his position with the Government. The facts, however, lie in a very small compass, and may be thus epitomised. On taking the Government of Sarawak in 1841, Sir James, then Mr. Brooke, relieved the people from all taxation whatsoever, except that deriving from work ing the antimony ore mines. His private fortune, although liberally applied, was insufficient to meet the expenses of the Government. He retained the mines, therefore, as the means of revenue. He ex ported the ore to England and received the proceeds in money or bills. To relieve himself from the trou ble of shipment, and being personally averse to the kind of detail it involved, he, through his agent, leased the mines in 1846 to a London house at a fixed rent or royalty. On the bankruptcy of that house in 1847 the lease was virtually surrendered into his lands, and he exported the ore to England as before. This process continued until quite re cently, when he again effected a lease with another London house. Such are lite rally the facts upon which the accusation rests. Sir James Brooke does not buy or sell • he knows nothing of profit or loss. The very elements of trading and speculation are wanting, yet his enemies convert the mere receipt of revenue, existing at the time he accepted the government of Sarawak, into a trading speculation. They hint that as Governor of Labuan he uses her Majesty's credentials for the pur poaes of self-aggrandisement and personal ambition. Nothing can be more false. The whole history of his expedition proves the contrary. The life he led —the hopes that animated him, recorded as they are in his diary day by day—the objects he had in view—were far above the acquisition of money or the gratification of a self-seeking ambition. It is a singular feature of the crusade against Sir James Brooke that the two features in his character which stand out in boldest re lief—his sincere humanity and his indifference to money —are the, very points on which his defamers have attacked him. It is only proper to add, in conclusion, that when the British Government appointed Sir James Brooke Governor of Labuan, it was with the distinct understanding that his independence as Thja of Sarawak was not to be affected or shaken in the slightest degree. But now the pretext for embroiling him with the Home authorities consists in his having derived from Sarawak a certain amount of revenue absolutely necessary for carrying on the government of that district. There will not in all probability be any renewal of these disgraceful attacks upon the character and motives of a man who has rendered the name of Englishmen illustrious upon the other side of the globe. How easy a thing it is to traduce the fair fame of the absent or the dead ! In ordinary cases how hard the task of washing away injuries which the meanest hand may inflict! Happily for Sir James Brooke the accusations brought against him have been susceptible of a simple and direct an swer. If be has been exposed to very virulent at tacks—if his actions have been distorted—his motives maligned, he has simply shared the ordinary fate of all public men in a free country. If a charge against a pub lic man be once originated by a private enemy, and it suit the purpose of a political party to add vigour to the cry, the calumny of yesterday becomes the dogma of to-morrow. No matter how pure a man's life, how lofty his motives, he is in such a case for a while the popinjay of every gobemouche in the three kingdoms. What is the remedy against all this ? We are well aware that it is easy enough to bear the misfortunes of other men with becoming resignation, and to re commend indifference and contempt as the appropriate cure. We doubt the entire efficacy of this prescrip tion. Rather let a man who has once stepped for ward upon the public arena fix his eye steadily upon the good he hopes to effect. If he perceives that the projects he had formed for the relief of suffering hu manity are in course of realization, he may acquiesce very contentedly in a certain amount of misrepresen tation, and even of calumny. Stars, and titles, and wealth, and even rapturous applause at the London Tavern, are well enough, but there is some thing much better—the consciousness of doing good and of ameliorating the condition of generations yet to be born. If a man might b 3 per mitted to work out his views for the relief of his fel low creatures without hindrance or contradiction, he would be deprived of many incentives to noble action. A spice of slander, bitter as it may taste in the mouth, is no bad occasional ingredient in a man's cup. It will not be the least amongst what Lord Bacon would style the " felicities" of Sir James Brooke, if he be destined from time to time to meet with a few more such opponents as the members of the Eternal Peace Society and their Parliamentary accomplices. The insecure point of Sir James Brooke'e eastern ad venture is that its success seems as yet to rest on no more secure basis than his single life. What will happen in those distant seas when the controlling spirit is withdrawn and the European trader and the half savage native are brought face to face ? Sir James Brooke has succeeded in clearing the Etstern seas of piracy—that is a positive good; and that achieve ment may no doubt be perpetuated by the most ordi nary hands. This done, civilization and barbarism are brought into contact. Is the Eastern Archipe lago to furnish us with the first example of the gra dual diffusion of civilization amongst a barbarous people—without subjection—without extermination ? We will not indulge in gloomy forebodings, nor an ticipate the moment when the exertions of a noble life may prove to have failed in attaining their full object. May all turn out as Sir James Brooke him self would fain have it! Meanwhile, absent though he be, his reputation and good name are a sacred de posit in the hands of his country. The continued favour of his Sovereign, the distinct approval of both Houses of Parliament, the hearty admiration of the vast =ajority of his countrymen—above all, the con sciousness of the good he has effected, may taken as sufficient compensation for a passing gust of calumny, which has only brought out the disinterest edness of his character in bolder reliefi STRIKE or GUN-LOCK FILERS.—At Darlaston 600 gun-lock filers have struck, and that just at the time when a Government contract for 50,000 locks has been taken. It is said that the contractors wish to reduce wages in order to supply the locks to Government At a low price. I IRON WAR STEAMERS.—Before the practice at the iron and wood butt on Thursday last there w as an or d er down at Portsmouth for another butt to be made for further shot-practice on a plan suggested by Mr. Pre tious, the only difference from it to the last butt being (we understand) that a thick felt substance was to be placed between the iron and wood ; it being supposed the felt would so soften the jar on concussion as would prevent the shot from breaking to pieces. After the conclusive practice that took place on Thursday last it seems a query whether this new butt will now be made. The principal and, we may say, the most novel dis covery that has been developed by the recent shot-prac tice at the iron butts is the tendency that every shot has to break to pieces. The shot, whether solid or hollow, enters the iron plates, and makes a tolerably round bole, is smashed to pieces, and on escaping from the side the fragments fly and are scattered about on the inside the butt in all directions. We saw in the last practice the pieces of a solid 32-pound shot in fragments of from an ounce to five ounces weight, which were scattered about in all directions after passing through the butt. We should be glad to see some further experiments made with the iron butts, and which might be done without much expense., as the old butts would again an swer the purpose. As the contact of the butt with the iron seems to be the occasion of the shot smashing to pieces, why not try an outside casing c f wood over the iron side, case the old butt over with fir planking from four to ten inch, or even a foot in thickness, and try whether it would not prevent the butts breaking? The Simoom is a most beautiful frigate; certainly the rsost complete vessel of war that we h ever seen manufac tured from iron. Now if an outaido wood planking should be found, on practice, to prevent the iron bulls from breaking to pieces, there would be no difficulty in placing a wood-planking, or sheathing, of the required thickness over the iron sides of the Simoom, which would only be required outside her fighting-decks— namely, from her weather-deck gunwales to the main deck waterways. It might, however, be carried down to her waterline and bevelled off to nothing below. This sheathing would not detract from her sailing or steam ing qualities, though it might disfigure her somewhat; but the protection of her crew from slaughter is the principal object, and if this sheathing would pre vent the shot from breaking the object would be ob tained. As we have before observed, the shot on entering the iron plates of the side, make a tolerably round hole, the size of a ball, without much injuring the plane of the plate side. These holes, in an iron vessel, might be easily stopped up in the same way that man-holes in boilers are stopped ; the covering plate, being in two pieces, might be thrust out through the shot hole, and screwed back as man-holes are. The_ old iron butts would do to practice at, and might be covered over with plank of different thicknesses, to test what thick ness would prevent a ball on striking from being broken to pieces. —Herold. Flamer steamer has received extensive alterations at Portsmouth to fit her for a cruising vessel, having been a Mediterranean packet ; she has been masted, and is completing in the old basin at Portsmouth. She will be shortly commissioned for the coast of Africa.

The draught of water on Friday was 14 feet 5 inches for ward and 15 feet 5 inches aft. The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Commander Le Febrre, baring been thoroughly repaired after her late ground ing, returned to the Channel Islands last night. The Dragon steam frigate hauled cut of dock yester day afternoon, prior to commission by Captain H. W. Giffard. The Inflexible steam-sloop is ordered to be commis sioned immediately at Woolwich, by Commander Dyke, besides whom the following other officers were yesterday appointed to her:—Lieutenant F. Meynell ; Master James Pyper; Purser, Mr. Eeles; Clerk, Mr. Thomp son; Master's-Assistant, Mr. C. Newman; gunner, Mr. Lesby ; boatswain, Mr. Snook; carpenter, Mr. F. Corning. The Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, was paid off at Sheerness on Friday. A letter from her says— " At 8 o'clock in the morning the ship's company having been called on deck, Sir James Stirling addressed them in a very appropriate speech on the celerity and dexter ous manner in which they had performed their duty. The payment commenced at 10 o'clock, by Captain- Superintendent Price, of the Wellington, and was entirely finished by 5 P.M. No instance of inebriety was visible, nor was any man detained on account of debt to the Crorn or otherwise; and order was preserved until the last moment," PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, JULY 13.—Her Majesty's ship St. George, 120, is to be commissioned insttad of the Agincourt, 72. The St. George is to have the masts of a first-rate fitted with a frigate's gear. Her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain T. W. Carter, bft Malta, in conse quence of the cholera, on the 3d of July, at six A.m., for Gibraltar. The neighbourhood of this port was visited with a dense fog yesterday, when one of the Irish steamers caught the sands off White Sand Bay, but sheered off without damage. A smack ran ashore at Yealm, and a revenue cruiser is reported to have taken the ground to the eastward. There was very little wind at the time. On Thursday evening, between nine and ten o'clock, the yawl Alarm, of 193 tons, belonging to Mr. Joseph Weld, of the Royal Yacht Squadron and Royal Western Yacht Club, when attempting to make fast to one of the Government transporting buoys in Barn Pool, missed it, and there being a strong ebb tide, very little wind, and no anchor ready, she drifted ashore under Mount Eigcumbe, to the south of the landing-place, with her bow pointing to the northward. She fell towards the beach, and as the tido rose she filled. On Friday morn ing, Mr. Henderson, master-attendant of the dockyard; Mr. Brown, master of her Majesty's ship Agincourt, with a gang of seamen and marines, and the Fearless steamer, Mr. Veitch proceeded to Barn Pool, and plac ing a lighter on each side the yacht, with hemp cables underneath, they pumped her out, and with the help of casks under her bilge, raised her with the tide, and at 5 P.M. towed her to Frank's Quarry, the private build ing yard of Mr. Banks, who had assisted in her recovery. Port-Admiral Sir W. Hall Gage, in the Sylph yacht, inspected the operation in the afternoon. The keel of the Alarm was twisted at low water, and she leaks from damage to her garboard streak and bilge. She is one of the fine old racing yachts, and is last from Ports mouth. Mr. Weld, his son, and two brothers were on. I board at the time of the accident. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, JULY 13.—Commander Peche H.

SPANISH BONDHOLDERS The Committee of Spanish bondholders have received a communication from their agent at Madrid, and cer tainly it is not very encouraging. It is as follows: " Madrid, July 5, 1850. " Monsieur le President,—l have the honour to inform you that I have had this day, jointly with the Dutch delegates (who hold likewise powers from the French, Belgian, and Prussian Committees), the first conference with the Directive Junta, presided over by Monsieur Bertram de Lis. " In this conference we explained the sacred rights of the foreign creditor, and the desire with which the com mittees are animated to come to a reciprocally acceptable and equitable settlement. " I read extracts from the letters which the committee has addressed to me under date of the 10th of May and 18th of June last, plainly asserting that there is no question of any proposition, but solely an indication on the part of the committee to obtain from the Govern ment a proposition upon the basis indicated in your letter of the 10th of May, in order to submit it to the discussion and approbation of the foreign bondholders. " The Dutch delegates have joined ns to carry out entirely this plan, and expressed their perfect satisfac tion of it to the Directive Junta. The Junta replied that they would take the whole into consideration, in order to make their report to the Government, and to call us to another conference as soon as they should be in a situation to make a reply. The Dutch delegates have seen this day for the same object his Excellency the Duke de Valencia and the Minister of Finance, who respectively promised to do all they possibly can. The Duke de Valencia indicated that the Treasury can never go further than to apply 200,000,000 reals annually to the whole of the debt, home and foreign, and as 100 millions of roils are already required for the payment of the 3 per cent. interior and exterior debt, there remains the other 100 millions of reals applicable to the defini tive arrangement of the old debt, interior and exterior. " I shall bare the honour to keep you informed of what continues to take place, and I avail myself of this oppor tunity to repeat, Monsieur le President, the assurance of wy most distinguished sentiments.
