Much as the people of Barnsley have been accus tomed to colliery explosions and accidents, one oc curred on Friday morning, in a colliery at Heming field, the property of Earl Fitzwilham, which excels any either in that or any other neighbourhood for the extraordinary singularity of the occurrence, and which we believe is without a parallel in the history of coal-mining. On the above morning, soon after the men had b egun wor k, o ne of them fired a shot to dislodge a quantity of coal. In so doing the coal be came ignited. The men endeavoured to extinguish the fire by using th e i r caps an d smoc ks, but the more they tried the stronger became the ignition, in conse quence o f the air whi c h th ey wa f te d upon th e burning mass being impregnated with gas, which added fuel to the fire. In the end it became such a burning mass that they gave up the task, and go t ou t o f t h e p it 65 soon as possible. When they got to the top the fire was so strong that it roared like a furnace, and they saw no chance of extinguishing it but by closing the mouth of the shaft, which they immediately set about doing, by making a stage a few yards down the pit, and covering it with sods and other mate rial, to prevent any air getting down the shaft. While doing so the signal bell rang, which was thought to be caused by the material they were throw ing down catching the bell wire. In a short time, however, it rang again. The men then began to look about them to see if any one was missing, and then it was discovered that one of their fellow-workmen was missing, named Thomas Swift. Some thought they had seen him among the others on the pit hill. How ever, as there were doubts as to the fact, and for the satisfaction of all, a messenger was sent to his house to see if he had gone home ; but during the absence of the messenger the bell was again rung more loudly than before, which caused the engineman to prevail upon the others to get out what material they had put upon the stage and send down a corve. This was accordingly done, and when the corve was drawn up again it not only contained Swift, but also two boys, alive and unhurt, although they stated that two horses and an ass lay dead in the pit. It appears that Swift and the two boys stopped some time with the others who were trying to extinguish the fire, and thinking it would be easily put out, went forward into another part of the pit and commenced work, which they con tinued at until the alteration in the air caused them to stop, and they found the pit on fire and of all the other men out.

An affair of a rather extraordinary character, which terminated in a very unfortunate manner, and which appears to have excited considerable interest in the neighbourhood in which it took place, occurred in Barr-street, Hockley, under the following circum stances :—A young man named Henry Aldridge, by trade a toolmaker, residing in Slade-lane, went to a public-house called the Royal Oak, Barr-street, soon after eleven o'clock on Wednesday evening last, it is supposed to spend a short time there. On entering the passage he encountered Mr. James Fletcher, the landlord, who refused to allow him to go into the tap-room, as he was desirous of doing, and at the same time remarked, " Torn, you never come here but what there's a row, and you shall not go in." Ald ridge, however, was clamorous for admission, and after some parley between them, Fletcher threatened if he did not leave to fetch some one to put him out, and proceeded towards the door apparently with the intention of doing so. Aldridge immediately there upon commenced kicking him, and Fletcher, as much for the purpose of self-defence as to enable him to eject so troublesome a customer, closed with the young man, grappled with him until they both approached the door, and then both fell down, Aldridge being undermost. Fletcher got up immed iately, an d went into the house, as though satisfied with having put him out; but Aldridge remained prostrate on the pavement, deprived of sense and motion. His brother and some persons who were in the house, and several othersfail ing to o do whoso so, they were a p t l t a r o a e c d t e d him by inthea scuffle,car, and attempted he was to revive him by the use of simple remedie s , but ccnveyed to the General Hospital. He expired, how ever, some time before arriving at that institution. It was at first believed that Fletcher was amenable to the law for the part he had taken in the affair, and he was acco rdingly taken into c us t o d y by the police the same night. The inquest on the body of the de ceased was held on Thursday evening last, at the Grand Turk, Lud ga t e -hill. T wo w it nesses were then examined as to the facts of the case, but the description we have prefixed is summary of the circumstances proved. Mr. Edmonds, solicitor, attended to watch the case on the part of Fletcher, and in cross-exami nation of the prisoner's brother, elicited that the de ceased was a very passionate fellow, and was liable to fainting fits, occasioned by disease of the heart, after being excited by passion or other wise.

MELANCEIOLY ACCIDENT.--EXETER, TUESDAY.- This afternoon an accident occurred at the King's Arms Inn, in this city, which resulted in the death of two men, named R o bert Rea, 20, an apprentice to Mr. Rouse, plumber, and Joshua Turner, a married labourer, with four children. It appears that the well which supplied the pump in the back premises of the inn had been cleaned out about a fortnight ago, but within the last few days the water bad been im pure, and Mr. Rouse was requested to shorten the suction pipe. He accordingly went there to-day with Rea and 'tur ner, and a ropo with a ladder attached having been let down the well, Rea proceeded to descend, but when he had gone down about 25 feet he called out, "The air is bad, I can't stay." The rope was immediately pulled up, but when the un f o rtunate man was within ten feet of the surface, he seemed to have lost all strength, and suddenly slipped down the rope to the bottom. Turner, who was kneeling down looking into the well, immediately seized the rope and let himself down, but when he had proceeded about seven or eight feet he rapidly disappeared, and was not again seen. Another man, named Davey, then had a rope secured on him and was let down, but on ✓ being called to he did not answer, and when he was drawn up he was insensible, and remained in that state for a considerable time. The bodies of the two men wero not taken out for upwards of an hour and a half. An inquest was held on the bodies in the evening, before Mr. J. Warren, coroner, when the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

Wardell, the chair man of the directors, presided. Mr. W. S. DARKIN, the secretary, read the report. It commenced with an expression of satisfaction that the Bill promoted by this company in the last session of Parliament had been successfully prosecuted against the opposition of the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company, aided by the London and North-Western Railway Company. By that Act they had obtained powers to abandon the construction of the Crickheath and Were branches, to apply the surplus capital thus set free to the dis charge of their liabilities, and to provide station ac commodation at Birkenhead. The Act also enabled them to run their trains over the Birkenhead, Lanca shire, and Cheshire Junction Railway, both towards Birkenhead and Manchester, to use all station conve • niences upon payment of such tolls as in the event of difference might be settled by arbitration, and to erect a station for themselves at Birkenhead. It was not without regret that the directors of this company had been compelled to take this course, to obtain relief from the obstructions offered to the Shrewsbury com panies in carrying their traffic to Birkenhead and Manchester, and the directors hoped that the pos session of these running powers would enable them to establish such a harmonious system of working as would effect a great saving both to this and to the Birk enhead Company, afford additional facilities for con ducting the present trade from South Staffordshire and Shropshire to Birkenhead and Manchester, and make ample provision for the increased traffic that would flow to Birkenhead on the completion of the connexion of the Shrewsbury lines with those of their southern allies. The Act likewise gave power to use the portion of the Chester and Holyhead Railway lying between Saltney and Chester, an terms to be fixed by the Railway Commissioners in case of difference. In the late session of Parliament an Act was passed for the construction of a railway from Warrington to Altringham, by a new company, with whom the directors were on friendly terms, and this railway, in connexion with the power of running over the Cheshire Junction line, would give the company an independent and shorter route to Man chester. Instructions had been given to commence the works. An Act had also been obtained for the restoration of the ancient standard by which the depth of the channel of the River Dee could be as certained, and the obligation of the present River Dee Company to give fifteen feet navigable depth at a moderate spring tide could be enforced. The growing importance of this port was demonstrated by the fact that the exports and imports in the half-year just ended amounted to 37,173 tons against 16,579 tons in the corresponding period of 1850. The Stour Valley Railway from Wolverhampton to Birming ham would be opened in October next ; and thus, previously to the completion of the lines of the Great Western to Wolverhampton, this company would benefit by the establishment of a continuous railway route to Birmingham. The revenue of the last half year amounted to 40,8691., whereof the traffic receipts were 39,5181. as compared with 36,253/. in 1850, showing an increase of 9 per cent. The disburse ments for the half. year on revenue account were 22,4241. as compared with 22,9771. in 1850, leaving an available balance for interest and dividend of 18,4451. in this half-year as compared with 14,556/. in 1850, being an increase in the available balance of 3,8891. The competition of a powerful rival had re duced rates to the lowest figure, but notwithstanding these disadvantages, there was a healthy increase of revenue. The opening of the lines south of Wolver hampton and Birmingham, and the completion of the Hereford line to Ludlow, would, it was confidently expected, place this company in an improved posi tion. The accounts had beon continuously audited during the half-year by Mr. Trevor and Mr. Smith, and they showed that the sum of 6,3981. was appli cable for dividend. The dividend on the preference shares, including income-tax, would require 7,0001. The directors recommended that the deficiency, amounting to 6011., should be taken from the reserve fund, thus leaving the balance to the credit of that account 2,7431. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said he could not avoid congratulating the shareholders on the acquisition of an Act of Parlia ment which had been obtained in the last session of Parliament. By that Act they 'took powers to run their trains to Birkenhead and Walton, near War rington, on the Altringham and Warrington line. This would afford them the means of conducting their own business at Birkenhead in a mode far superior to the manner in which it had hitherto been managed. The terms upon which the trains would run would be settled by arbitration in the case of the two boards not agreeing on the same ; and he was happy to in form them that a meeting had been appointed to take place in a few days between some of the members of both directions, to take into consideration the terms and mode of carrying out those powers which were reciprocal, they running over this line, and the trains of this company running over their line. He was glad that this was the case, and he was convinced tbat the meeting would agree with him in that respect, for he was persuaded that by an amicable arrangement between the two companies a saving of several thou sands a year might be effected, and four or five engines might be dispensed with by running the trains directly through from Birkenhead to Shrewsbury and back without changing at Chester.—(Hear, hear.) Re marks had been made upon the objects which they were supposed to have in view in obtaining that Aot of Parliament, but for himself he could not see how it could be otherwise than beneficial to the Birken head Company. This company did not take forcible po.isession of their line. The terms, at all events, were to be settled by independent arbitrators, and it would certainly be the means of throwing more traffic upon their line. It could not therefore injure that line, while it would be a great benefit to this com pany, affording them the means of transacting their own business on the Mersey. In that Act powers were also taken to transfer certain amounts to he raised on shares from one disposition to another—that was, from the making of branches to the liquidation of the debts and liabilities of the company.—(Hear.) For this purpose the 101. shares, on which 11. had been paid, would have to be called in, and other shares or stock would be distributed accordingly. If further information should be required, both he and his co-directors would be happy to afford it. In con clusion, he only begged and intreated that every gen tleman would abstain, as far as possible, in the course of the discussion which might follow, from any per sonal allusions.—(Cheers.) Mr. WILLIAMS, the deputy-chairman and mayor of Chester, seconded the motion. In answer to a series of questions from Mr. PRICE, The CHAIRMAN said, that the number of directors, as settled by the Act of Parliament, was fifteen; but by a half- yearly meeting, in August, 1848, the num ber was reduced to thirteen, and there were that number at present. The balances due to the com pany on the 31st of December, 1850, amounted to 18,631/. ; the amount paid up to the 30th of June last was 14,0371., leaving a balance at that time of 4,5941., and there had since been received 6191. A portion of what remained was under reference, and other amounts had to be settled with other companies. Mr. PRICE complained that the ledger outstanding debts were far too high. He never heard of such a thing as debts to the amount of 31,8641., while they were paying 5 per cent. interest to the bankers. The SECRETARY said that the Manchester, Shef field, and Lincolnshire bad, according to their own report, outstanding debts to the amount of 150,1841., and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company no less than 290,4221. The CHAIRMAN, Mr. Roy, and other directors ad mitted that a large sum had been placed in the ac counts for contingencies (10,0001.), but they were debarred from laying out a single penny in new works without the approbation of the shareholders—an en gagement by which the directors would abide. There were no coal owners among the directors except Mr. Roy, who could have any interest in fixing low rates for the traffic of minerals, but there was a director appointed by Sir W. W. Wynn to see justice done to r.W in en m n in s e a s i .— d t ( h c a r t ie so s m of e o ‘i f N th a e m d e i , re n c a t m or e s .”) had r a r n . all parties. interest i Harrison.lle Mr. Raison—l have no interest, a n d never had ininthesatihnemmyusltifien.—div(iCduheaelirzse)m r.

He objected also to the the banker of the company. The two offices were wholly incompatible.—(Hisses.) The CHAIRMAN said the meeting would have an opportunity that day of dispensing with his services, and as far as he was personally concerned he should be much obli g ed if they wo u ld d o s o. Mr. PRICE then moved as an amendment— " That the accounts be not passed, but placed in the hands of Mr. Cottam with full instructions to examine the books since the date of his last audit, and report the result of the same to a special meeting to be held at a future day." The amendment, not meeting with a seconder, fell to the ground. Mr. LOCKHART regretted the large amount of out standing debts, fearing that some them would be come bad debts. He perceived froth the account that 13,800/. had been expended durittYthe half-year on capital account. He wished to know whether that had been incurred during the half-year, or in payment of obligations previously incurred. The SECRETARY said that, with the exception of a very few items which were fairly chargeable to capi tal account, the expenditure had been in payment of obligations previously incurred. Mr. LOCKIIART wished to know if the locomotive expenses could be 's counted for. ;he increase in l isfactorily ac- Mr. ROBERTSON said that that was satisfactory part of the accounts; for at what they carried, and apportione accounts to the work done, they wou expenditure had very considerably per tentage on mileage and rate was penny as against 0.271 June last yea diture had been reduced from 0.331. ) him the most if they looked the locomotive I find that the icreased.

Messrs. Wardell (the chairman), Buckley, and Badger, were re-elected directors of the company ; Mr. G. S. Gordon, of Edinburgh, was elected a di rector in the room of Mr. Dixon i and Mr. Smith was re-appointed one of the auditors. Mr, PRICE then moved a resolution to the effect that the directors should not be allowed to spend any money for the purpose of obtaining proxies without the consent of the shareholders previously had. The resolution, however, shared the fate of the pre vious one moved by Mr. Price, and, not being se conded, fell to the ground. Mr. PRICE then moved that Mr. Cottam, of Man chester, be appointed permanent accountant. Mr. WHALLEY seconded the motion. It was opposed by Mr. TREVOR and Mr. SMITH, the auditors, and on a show of hands was lost by a large majority. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman, and the somewhat unusual addition of three cheers. SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM. The half-yearly report of the directors of this company states that the attempt on the part of the London and North-Western Company to obtain un lawful possession of the railway commenced prior to the last half-yearly meeting, and has been continued with scarcely any intermission up to the present time. The directors, guided by the advice of eminent counsel, have all along felt that the attainment of their object, in the face of existing agreements with the Shrewsbury and Chester and Great Western Companies, could have afforded hut a temporary triumph to the London and North-Western Company while it would with equal certainty have prevented the development of the traffic, and altogether ob structed that through traffic upon which the alliance with these companies depends. The contest has not been confined to this company, and no better proof can be given of the value of this alliance to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company than the at tempt on the part of the London and North-Western Company to detach the Shrewsbury and Chester Company, by an offer of a guaranteed dividend of 4} per cent., and to fetter the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Company by traffic agreements, it being evident that the possession of any one of the three railways between Birmingham and Birkenhead, would, by rendering incomplete the continuity e twe L en ond L o o n ndo a n nd perpetuate of monopolyand the of the Great Western chain of communication between a large increasing traffic, and frustrate the in tention of Parliament that the south of England shall have a direct line of communication with the manu facturing districts of the north. The Shrewsbury and Chester proprietors, by a large majority, rejected the offer of the London and North-Western Company as impracticable and altogether beyond its powers. In the case of the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Che shire Junction Railway, the London and North- Western Company succeeded in concluding an agree ment for the obstruction of the traffic: but Parlia ment, considering this to be an act so improper on the part of the Birkenhead Company, and so contrary to the purposes for which all railway companies have been incorporated, without hesitation conferred upon the Shrewsbury and Chester Company powers to run over, and use with their own engines and carriages, the lines of the Birkenhead Company, not only to Birkenhead, but to Warrington, thereby opening up, by means of the Warrington and Altrincham line (which obtained its Act last session), a communication with Manchester altogether independent of the Lon don and North-Western Company. The directors were advised by eminent counsel that neither the agreement proposed to be entered into by the com mittee of shareholders with the London and North- Western Company, nor any other agreement which undertook to give an absolute fixed dividend to the shareholders, was or could be made binding upon either company without an wt of Par liament, and that no such Act ens intended to be applied for, or, if applied for, had the remotest chance of being obtained, they had no a lt e rnative but to offer every opposition in their power to a measure which, however plausible and tempting, was altogether delusive. The drectors are confirmed in the soundness of the opinions by which they were guided by the recent decision of Lord Cranworth, adverse to the London and North- Western Company, upon the question of tie legality of an agreement entered into by that company and other parties with the Oxford, Worcester, aid Wol verhampton Company, precisely similar in principle, although differing in details, to that propose tino be entered into with this company. After adveg to the insufficiency of the alleged guarantee of 3,3 i, and 4 per cent., on the ground that it was to be derived only from the tolls to be paid by the London aid North-Western Company for the traffic i t may carry over 20 miles cf the line, the report states that since the last meeting Parliamentary powers have been ob tained authorising the Shrewsbury and Chester and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Companies (with the approval of the Railway Commissioners) to enter into agreements for the iaterchange of traffic, and substantially for all the objects con templated by the existing agreement. The direc tors state they have availed themselves of these powers to enter into a supplementary agreement with the Shrewsbury and Chester Company, which will be submitted to the meeting. The directors trust they may be permitted to give their time and attention to the consolidation of the Great Western alliance, and that the shareholders generally will see that the only alliance which can be practically carried out with the London and North-Western Company is one of arrangement of rates between competing points, which the directors have alway s been willin g to settle by agreement, or to refer to arbitration. The directors will, in conjunction with the Great 'Western and Shrewsbury and Chester Companies, apply to Parliament in the next session for as Act to autho rise the carrying out of the agreement of May last for an amalgamation of the three companies, and an inte rim guarantee of 3 and 3i per cent. out of the gross proceeds of the London through tra • ffic• The pro prietors of the Shrewsbury and Chester p Com any have confirmed that agreement, with a stipulation that full time should be allowed for the development of the traffic on the Shrewsbury lines, after the Great Wes. tern chain of railway communicationbetween London and Wolverhampton has been compl b eted, and before the amalgamation takes place. Various circumstances, but chiefly the continued competition of the London and North-Western Company for the local traffic, and the non-opening of the Stour Valley line, have combined to show an unfavourable result in the revenue account. There have, however, been charged against revenue for the first time the maintenance of the permanent way and the whole of the general ex penses, as also the interest upon the debentures, part of which was formerly charged against the expendi ture on the Madeley branch as unproductive. The n preference dividend has been paid aid for the past half year, but the appropriation of the Stour Valley divi dend for this purpose has now accumulated a year and a-half's dividend due to class A shareholders upon the Stour Valley portion of their stock, and which will form a prior claim before a dividend is de clared upon the ordinary stock of the company. The sum of 6,461/. has accumulated as a reserve to meet the depreciation of the rolling stock, provided for in the contract with Messrs. Johnson and Kinder. The following directors retire by rotation—namely, Messrs. Badger, Chanc e, King, Knox, Perks, Phillips and Prohyn. The auditors, Messrs. Bate and Fel lows, state in their report that they believe the ac counts are correct with the exception of the amount under the head of " Extraordinary Expenses"- 2,5631. charged to capital, which they are of opinion should be charged to revenue as an expense incurred professedly for the protection of the traffic of the company, and having nothing to do with the construc tion of the line. The first preference dividend paid, amounting to 1,4471., having been erroneously charged 51st do. 57th do. 60th to capital, has been transferred to revenue. The directors appear to have sold 1,829 A shares and 3,216 B shares, amounting in the aggregate to 31,6441., which has been duly credited in the cash book of the company. The statement of share and loan capital states that the company are authorised to raise 1,344,7871. on shares, and 443,2621. on loan, total 1,973,0501. The capital account showed that 1,336,2271. had been received and expended. The revenue account for the half-year ending 30th of June showed that 14,7971. had been received, and 15,8271. expended, leaving a balance of 1,0301. against the company. The expenditure for the half-year con sisted of 1,6681. for the maintenance of the permanent way; 4,6361. locomotive power; 7,0801. carrying account ; 2,057/. general office expenses ; and 3851. rates and taxes and passenger duty—total, 15,8271.

EXPERMIENTS AT THE BUTT IN THE ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICH. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 10.—Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, Major-General Fox, Colonel Dundas, C. 8., Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer, Assistant Director-General of Artillery ; Lieutenant- Colonel Burn, Captain Wingfield and Captain An derson, Royal Artillery Brigade ; Major Walpole, Royal Engineers ; Captain Fox, of the Grenadier Guards ; Captain March, and several other officers ; Mr. Samuel Colt, of revolver celebrity; Mr. Adams, Mr. Lawrertce, jun., son of the American Minister; who submitted another kind of revolver ; and Mr. Searle, inventer of the n eedle-gun ; Mr. Lovell, the armourer in charge of the important stores at the Tower, and several scientific gentlemen, attended at the butt in the Royal Arsenal , at half - past ten o'clock to-day, to witness experiments with Mr. Colt's and Mr. Adams's revolvers, and Mr. Sears 3 needle guns and carabine. The ex perimen ts commenced at eleven o'clock with Mr. Colt's revolving pistols at 50 yards range, and the practice was very good i n severa l in stances, the whole of the six balls striki ng th e targe t, which was about six feet square. Mr. Adams then tried his ol r n gi:odPlB,t°l' which di ff ers from M r . C o lt' s i n hay na. no v the balls, which wer e a ll o f a co ni ca l r ev a i m shape, being merely placed into the revolving recep tacles with the thumb, and the percussion caps placed in their proper position for firing by a spring feeder with the least trouble imaginable. When Mr. Colt's six charges are fired, the cock of the pistol is drawn back by the thumb on each firing, but the a c ti on i s different in Mr. Adams's invention, and the wor k s which discharge the percussion caps do not have any outside projection, and are capable of causing the firing to be very rapid in succession, and reports very sharp, as if the balls had been projected with great a hnodt, b w velocity.adu w i th tCohso thos used e used elad tbiboth materialr. sphericalAdagm glued were and conical n n ded Almost immediately after the fi r i ng o f the revo l v ing pistols was completed, at on e o ' c l oc k, P.M. , t h e 20th company of Royal Sapper s an d Mi ners arr i ve d at the place of embarkation, an d M a j or -G enera l Fox, e e t i o e tchiiccaal ball. l, s Mr. Colt, and the other gentlemen present, went to the spot, and Mr. Colt, in a very handsome manner, with the consent of the Major-General, presented Lieutenant Ray, in charge of the company of Royal Sappers and Mi ners, w i t h one o f hi s revo l v i ng pistols.. On the ret urn o f th e o ffi cers a n d gentl emen from witnessing the emb ar k a ti on o f the Royal Sappers and Miners, the rifle stand was removed from 50 to 200 yards range, and the experiments commenced with Mr. Sears's needle-gun. The ball, one and a half-ounce in weight, used in Mr. Sears's gun is made of a conical shape, and the charge, two and a quarter drachms of powder, with a small qua n tity o f i gn iti n g composition, is made up in a similar manner to a ball cartridge, and is placed in its firing position with the greatest ease, the loading being made at the breach of the gun, and consequently . no ramrod is required. When the charge is placed in the rear of the muzzle of the gun a sliding cover is pushed forward and on one side, which so effectually prevents the smallest portion of the powder escaping, except from the mouth of the barrel, that a greater range is obtained with a comparatively smaller charge than could be obtained by any other means yet tried, and the com bustion of the projective materials is so complete that, apparently, hundreds of rounds may be fired without ma t er ially soiling the interior of the barrel, or rendering it necessary to cleanse it. The perfect na t ure o f the combustion, from the charge being prevented escaping from the breach of the gun, was repeat e dly t es ted, by placing clean white paper over the part where the charge wasin serted, and it was invariably exhibited p_.c". l %,ean and free from stain as it was when applied, consequently there never appears any smoke at the breach of the gun. The next gun experimented with was one of the present service gun-barrels, fitted w ith Mr. Sears's invention, in which the charge and b a ll i s i nser t e d in one cartridge under the gun, and the firing took place at 400 yards range, to show its capabilities when fitted with Mr. Sears's invention. The firing with both guns, and with a carabine carrying a ball of one ounce in weight, with a charge of one and a half dritchms of powder, about half the usual service charge, was re markably good. The firing was not confined to Mr. Sears, jun., Colonel Duadas, Brigade Major Walpole, Mr. Lovell, Mr. W. H. Gordon, a sergeant, and three gunners of the Royal Artillery, repeatedly firing from each of the pieces, and with excellent effect. There were 135 rounds fired from the two muskets, and 80 from the &rabine, several times in rapid suc cession, the pieces being capable of firing 20 rounds in two minutes, and yet there was no appearance of any of the parts heating or getting the least out of order during the whole time of trial. N ANAL INTELLIGENCE; Commodore-Superintendent Eden, of Woolwich Dockyard, is on leave of absence to the 15th. Captain-Superintendent the Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., of Depttord Dockyard, is on leave of absence. Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord G. Paulet, as soon as she has been docked at Portsmouth, is to proceed to Spithead, and there to fill up her sea-going complement as soon as she can. Hercules store and troop ship has been paid off and docked at Portsmouth, to be fitted as a receiving ship for Malta, in lieu of the Ceylon. Myrmidon iron steam-vessel, Lieutenant Com mander Joliffe, on her way to the coast of Africa, was at Madeira, Sept. 3. Shear water, 6, steam-vessel, Lieutenant Com mander Horton, is ordered to proceed to the Medi terranean, to join Sir William Parker's squadron. She proceeds en route to Constantinople, calling at Corunna, Vigo, Lisbon, and Gibraltar. Tus COAST or AFRICA.--The only item of intel- ligence from the coast of Africa is the seizure of an empty slaver by the Bloodhound, tender to the Sampson steam frigate, Captain V. Jones. Two full slavers are reported to have eluded the vigilance of our cruisers. TUB BRAZILS STATION. The Commander-in-Chief Rear-Admiral Reynolds, C. 8., in the Southampton, 50, Captain Cory, was at Monte Video, July 31. Tweed, 18, Commander Lord F. Russell, has arrived from Rio, and had relieved the Thetis, 38, Captain Cupar, C. 8., which ship had sailed for Val paraiso and the Pacific station. The Tweed, however, is ordered to Devonport to be paid off. Cormorant, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Tatham (ordered home), and Plumper screw-sloop, Com mander Nolloth, were at Rio, with the stationary ship Crescent, Master-Commander Bradley, Aug. 14 Conflict, 8, screw-sloop, Commander Drake, was at Bahia August 18. THE CAPE VOYAGE OF THE SCREW-STEADIER IfiLLESFONT.—The Hellespont arrived .at the Cape, after a passage of 381 days, from England. During her stay in Table Bay she encountered very severe weather, which detained her somewhat longer than allowed by the contract, she for several days not being able to take in fuel, and lying for the greater part of the time with the steam up to ease her anchors. We stated yesterday that during a strong N.W. gale the ship Nimrod, Lawson master, parted from her anchors, went on shore and became a total wreck, crew saved, July 29. The brig Fanny, Bristow master, parted from her anchors during a strong N.E. gale, and went on shore; crew saved. The William Foster, from Table Bay to Algoa Bay, struck on Cape Recife, and immediately went to pieces. Crew and passengers saved in ship's boats. The screw-steamer Hellespont, which left Table Bay August 1, was detained three hours after the mail was on board, at the requisition of the Colonial Secretary, her Majesty's steam-vessel Dee having arrived in the morning with dispatches from Sir 11. Smith and two days later date from the frontiers. The news (if any) was not publicly known when the steamer sailed. The Hellespont arrived at Sierra Leone, August 16. The rainy season still continued, but the colony was generally healthy. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Alecto was at anchor in the river, and the Dolphin, 3, brigantine, Lieut.-C omman d er T e mple, was standing in when the Hellespont left. Her Majesty's steam-vessels Cyclops and Birken head had called at Sierra Leone for coal, and sailed for the Cape about the 28th or 29th' of July ; all well. The Hellespont arrived at St. Vincent (Cape de Verde Islands) on the 22d, and left for Plymouth on the 24th of August. Found lying there the Royal Mail steamer Tay, on her way to Rio, &c., and also her Majesty's steam-vessel Dover, with the Governor of Gambia on board ; the Master of the latter vessel (Mr. Mills) died of fever the morning the Hellespont left. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Cyclops touched at St. Vincent on the lst of July, and sailed for Sierra Leone and Cape on the 23d. Her Majesty's steam-ships Sidon and Retribution arrived at St. Vincent on the 31st July, took in coal, and sailed on the 31st of August for Ascension and the Cape. All well on board. , Thel d l e a s sy p e o p n st th. she. 19 o t ulslnt.t.3eovr Vincent Ac strong lTl E hh . ee N rH . n E eril winds tt from spoke and exchanged number s w i t h the following merchant vessels :—lu lat. 32 45 S ., and long. 16 26 y t:he mout h ll E., the William Stewart, homeward bound ; Aug. 26, spoke the barque Highland Home, bound to the Cape, lat. 21 10 N., long. 25 W., in lat. 19 20 N., long. 24 10 W., passed a steamer, supposed to be the Screw Steam Company's vessel Bosphorus, bound to St. Vincent, Sept. 3 ; and lat. 41 46 N., long. 19 17 W., exchanged numbers with the brig Fanny, from Liver pool, bound to Barbadoes.—Morning Paper.
