F RANCE. The following is from Galignani's Messenger : " a can positively state that there is no truth whatever in a report given in several English jour nals, to the effect that the Marquis of Normanby is about to be replaced by Sir Henry Bulvver as British Ambassador in Paris." General Cavaignac was married the day before yesterday to Mademoiselle Other, the grand-daughter of M. Oilier, member of the Consultative Commission. The civil ceremony took place at the Maine of the 3d arrondissement, and the religious ceremony at the Church of the Madeleine. The parties were attended by a numerous circle of friends. The General and his bride persevere, it is said, in their intention to travel to the south. The Constitutionnel devotes nearly a page to an article on the subject of the resignation of Lord Pal merston. More than half of it, however, consists of a notice of the causes assigned by the English journals for the retirement of Lord Palmerston. We extract as follows the concluding portion of the article : " We shall confine ourselves in summing up the re proaches addressed abroad to Lord Palmerston, to quoting the repartee of an English statesman, when he was congratulated on the tranquillity of his country. How can England be anything but quiet ? All our firebrands, all our mse• cous, all our sour-tempered men are exported by Lord Pal merston, and engaged in diplomacy. We must, ho ever, be just towards an adversary. In spite o f the incessant attacks of which ha has been the o bject in England and on the continent, Lord Palmerston Will a nd not carry with him into retirement lively his incontest merited sympathies. He is indebted f o e them p ar tl y to his personal character, and partly to able talent. It is forty- five years since Lord Pal merston entered into political life, and m o r e th an forty since he began to take a part in the manage meat of public affairs. No one in Earope has more experience and practical knowledge of international policy ; no one is more conversant withAhe text of eaties and the geners l interests of nations. If the tr impetuosity of his c haracter leads him at times into embarrassments, h e possesses i nex h a u s tible resources both of words and conduct to extricate himself from them. Thus, the nnes, which has been hi I most hitter opponent' recently said, 'lf one could forget the we lfare of the country for a moment, one would be pleased to see Lord Palmerston mike a false step for the pleasure of seeing with what extraordinary dexterity he recovers himself. Lord Palmerston is one of tie first orators of the House of Commons ; h is the only man who is able to make head agl,inst Mr. Disrae:i by the vivacity of his epigrams, and the abundance, of his sharp retorts. His words flew clearly and elegantly, and he has wonderful power of argument; be knows how to win over his auditory, and to skilfully arouse oWional suscep tibilities, and no ono hits ever known how to better turn to account that honourable and popular sen timent known in Franco under the name of Chuu rinisme and he his always found, under critical cireurnstances, a secure resource end an Wen in it. Amiable, gay, and spritttel, he is, in spite flail, the favourite of a party in the House of Com none and of the English nation : no cne is more insinuating when he wishes to pleL.se—he succeeded in fascinating M. Tniere, and that after 1840. S-rong in Me' long experience, and his talent a 3 a statesman and an orator, and in his popularity in the House of Commons, Lord Palmerston has always shown himself absolute in his department. He his never permitted the slightest contradiction either from his subordinates or from his c olleagues. He exhibited in the exercise of his functions the most admirable zeal and assiduity. No:svithst:aLiiing he is nearly „v,„ty ;,ears of rig?, he was the only Minister who never kept holiday even in the interval of the sessions, who never missed attendance at a council, and who did not pass a day without putting all his business in a proper train. It might be said that all the places is the Foreign-dace were so m'.ny sinecures, because Lard Palmerston never suffered a single employe to a, , ,sist him in his labours. That part of the character of Lord Palmerston which has made him the most enemies abroad, is that which has caused his countrymen to pardon his faults. He is thoroughly an Englishman. Whatever may happen in any part of the world where an Englishman is im plicated, Lard Palmerston immediately, without ex• emining into the merits of the cave, took the part of his agent or his countrymen. He loudly expressed en -1 obstinately maintained any opinion which he had once advanced. It was this feeling which im pliceed him in so many quarrels, which were at tended with different results; . but this ardour, which could not fail to raise hostile feelings against him, heal its source in a sentin.e - it which the popular mt. , ,ses in England would readily pardon. An ex aggeration of patriotism is a f , ult which the people readily forgive in a statesman. It would bi premature to icquire as to what the effect of the retirement of Lord Palmerston on the politics of Europe may be. We shall merely say that this s!atesman, whose pene tration no one ever disputed, understood from the very first day the real character and all the bearing of the events recPutly accomplished in France. While a portion of Engle.nd vet hesitated, Lord Palmerston had with sagacity and franko , iss admitted the salu tary iufluellce of the revolution of Mc. 2. He has opened the eyes of his countrymen on this point, and his judgment has on this occasion been ratified by the whole of Europe. Perhaps Lord J. Russell may soon, with regard to Lord Palmerston, repeat the old remark, that no man can live either with him or without him.' He could not retain Lord Palmerston wirhout seeing the immediate dissolution of his Ministry. Oa the other hand the ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs served as a bond between the Cabinet and the Radicals, whose support was indispensable to it. This bond being broken, if Lord John Russell does not succeed in forming another alliance, be may at the opening of the session, that is to say, in six weeks, find himself under the necessity o f q uittin g office, or of dissolving the House of Commons. What a strange destiny is that of a Minister, whose presence in office or whose retirement from it, is equally fatal to his colleagues!" ALGERIA. The Constitutionnel gives the following summary of the news from Algeria :—" The nomination of Gene ral Ran(lon to the distinguished post of Governor- General of Algeria has been well received. General Pelissier is about to take the military command of the province of Oran. The accounts from the Kabyle country are excellent. Tae recent organization of the Caid at Boghni has fully succeeded. The Lieu • tenant Beaupetre, invested with the functions of Caid, has already obtained important results. It is certain that tho great confederation of the Z)itaouas is much s.haken, and that the party in favour of submission IA every day increasing. The Arabs aro very calm. 'There is no agitatation except to the south of Meileah, in the regi o n of Sahara, into which the false Cherif Ouargla, after having failed in his attempts on Tougourt and in the Zebans, has carried his intrigues and his acts of brigandage. This im postor has made two razzias on the tribes who have submitted, but there, as at Tougourt, these disturb ances will be repressed by the native forces. The de cree just published by the Menzteur will produce the best effect in Algeria. It will facilitate the payment by the debtors to the State of the amounts due for the concession of domanial laud, and release certain colonists from arrears, which they were unable to pay. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Xining Journal.) Although the holidays have exerted an influence over the al:9,ant of business transacted during this week, there is sPparently the same vivid inquiry for shares, and at = Proved quotations. It is not surprising, seeing that at present a much increased amount of attention and capital is di rected to mining, that there should exist, as one of t he °ln .st , e , to this end, great and growing abundance of °Eti",!s, the augmentation of which, in dependently of politieMevents, we predict as time pro gresses, that in the . carain , Year we may look forward to a great increas . e . in all mining transactions.

This favourite actress appeared in the celebrated drama of the French Spy at the Nationil Theatre last aiz'it, before en immense audience. Long aftEr the cur tain arose, advanced prices were offered for tick is to eny part of the house, and the tickets of hundreds unable to obtain seats were redeemed at the box-office. In consequence of the number of people who were unable to are Madam , Celeste in this popular drama, it is an nounced f:r repetition this evening, and will un doubtedly draw another crowded house. The piece is put upon the stage finely, the scenery and stage effects unsurpiseed, the acting of the stock company admirable, and Celeste's personatim have created much eetbusiasra among all classes of play-goers.—Boston Transcript, Dec. 10, 1851. THE ARMY AND NAVY: (From the United Service Gazette.) Lieutenant-Co!ouei S:uut t 6th Regiment, who bed applied for permission to retire from the service by the hale (,f his commission, since requested leave to with draw his r p plic a don, but which had been refused by the Cnmmnnder•in-Chief. THE VACANT REGIMENT.—The Culoneloy of the 78th Highlencbrs hai become vacant by the decease of Gneral Anderson, C. 8., and K.C. INC/LEASE TO THE ARMY.—It is rumoured that an augmentation of 5,000 DIM to the Army will take place early in the ensuing year, and that probably some second battalons will be again formed. Colonel Blanchard, C. 8., Roy all Engineers, appointed Commardirg Engineer at Woolwich, has moved from Divt.r and assumed the duties at the former place. CAFE CORPS —The vacancies which have occurred ie thii regiment by desertion to the enemy, and other casualties, amounting to 400 men, are to be filled up by volunteers from the regiments of the line now stationed et the Cape cf Good Hope. Each man is to receive a bounty of one guinea. The regiment will then be re cruited in Evgland, and ultimately consist of white men. Wo understand that the retirement from the service of Ntajor Ashmore, 16,h Regiment, has been caused by the rTort of the Military Court of Inquiry which has re cently taken pike° in the deps: of that regiment. The Commander-in-Chief, after much delay, has at last permitted Lieutenant. Colonel Abbott, 3d West ladii Regiment, to retire from the service by the sale of his commission. _ _ ARMY AND NAVY CLUB.—We understand that at a recent meeting of the committee of this club the names of Captain Holder and Mr. M'Creachy Alleyne were ordered to be struck out of the list of members. THE ARCTIC SEARCHING EXPEDITIONS. By the Avon have been received further details of the news AS to the Behring Straits Arctic Searching expe dition, brought by her Majesty's ship Daedalus, Captain Wellesley, from Behring's Straits to San Francisco on the 22d October. The Plover, Commander Moore, had pasced the winter in Grantle y Harb ou r, an d was re joined by the Enterprise, Captain Collinson , C. 8., from Hong-Kong, on the 3d of Jul y , who, on the 10th, proceeded northward. The Daisies and Plover met at Port Clarence towards the end of July, the former deeply laden with provisions and stores, and prepared to pass the winter in the ice, should that prove neces sary from any accident having happened to the Plover. The crew of the Plover had suffered a good deal from scurvy during the winter, but no lives were lost, and a great number of the crew were removed, and replaced by volunteers from the Dmlalus. We regret to state that the Enterprise has been less fortunate, having lost two officers. These are Lieut. J. Barnard, and Mr. White head, clerk in charge. Lieut. Barnard and Mr. E. Adams, assistant-surgeon of the Enterprise, had been left at Michaelowski, the Russian trading post in Norton Bay, in October last, for the purpose of collecting infor mation of the missing expedition from the Russian posts and from the natives inland. In pursuance of this ob ject, Lieutenant Barnard, with an interpreter, had gone early in January to a distant post, intending to commu nicate, if possible, with some of the neighbouring chiefs. During the night the post was surrounded by a large body of Igo-yu-kuk; Indians, several of whom at day break entered the principal dwelling and killed the Russian governor. Lieutenant Barnard and the inter preter, who were is the same house, made such re sistance as drove the Indians out of the house. They then laid siege to the post, sheltering themselves behind wooden shields, stuck upright in the snow, but one of them being soon afterwards shot, the whole party retired to an E quimaux village at some distance, where they commilted great cruelties, killing upwards of 60 natives, including women and children. Lieutenant Barnard died of his woands on the afternoon of the day fol lowing the attack. Mr. Adams, on hearing of the event at Michaelowski, proceeded with a number of Russians to the post, where he saw the body of his late companion, in which were numer ous wounds, the principal one being in the abdomen, and of such an extent as to have proved inevitably fatal. Mr. Whitehead's death took place on board the Enterprise, while on her passage from Hong-Kong to Port Cla rence. Lieutenant E. L. Cooper (invalided) and Mr. John Simpson (B), surgeon (on promotion), cameto San Fran cisco by the Daedalus on their way to England by Panama. The whaling-vessels have crowded in great numbers this year again to the Straits of Behring, bat have not been so successful as before. The season has been a late one in those seas, and the ice floating about until late in July, has caused many disasters, no less than 11 or 12 vessels having been lost, but not many lives. Among the vessels endangered by being" beset" by the ice were the Enterprise and Daedalus, somewhere near St. Law rence Island. The line of ice in the Arctic sea has like wise been found in a lower latitude than the two pre ceding years. There is no account of the Investigator, Commander M'Clure, since July, 1850 ; probably he is in the ice to the eastward of Point Barrow.

After penetrating the superincumbent peat they found a bed of marl, and under that a stratum of loose sand, from which there issued with considerable force a very copious stream of what appears to be carburetted hydrogen gas. Finding from experiment that it was inflammable a long iron pipe, several inches in diameter, was inserted in the bore-hole, and the stream of gas which passed through it and issued from the upper end was set on fire, and burned with a bright dame, illuminating at night the whole neighbourhood.

The bankrupts in this case were railway contrac tors, and the messenger of the a ourt had been intrusted with a warrant to seize certain property upon the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. Having obtained possession, he was, 1 towever, subsequently ejected by Mr. C. Blatchley, th e engineer, and a body of workmen in the employ!, tent of the company. Under such circumstances Ai :r. Terrell obtained a rule calling upon Mr. Blatcbl ly to show cause why he should not be committed :for a contumacious dis obedience of the authority of ti 'le Court. Mr. Bramwell and Mr. Qt tam now appeared for Mr. Blatchley, and Mr. Terra! l represented the assig nees of the bankrupts. On behalf of Mr. Blatchleis it was contended that the original seizure was not valid. The warrant of the Court authorized the mesa anger to make a seizure of all property belonging to cit on premises in the pos session of the bankrupts. Let this instance the pro perty was neither the propetly of the bankrupts, nor were the premises on which. it was seized in their possession. For the assignees it was submitted that the pre. wises on which the seizure was made might legally be said to have been in posses sion of the bankrupts. They had contracted to per Form certain works, and possession of the premises rof erred to had been given in order that their contract might be performed. They were as much in possession of the premises as a tenant could be said to be in possession of a house. Mr. Commissioner GOLIL 8 - URN said it was of great importance that the officers of this court should re ceive due protection in the discharge of their duties ; at the same time, it was beet right that the Court should carefully guard itsele against unduly interfer ing with the rights of other persons. The messenger of the Court, it appeared, heed obtained the possession of the property by a seizure* at the hour of one of the clock in the morning. Thene were peculiar reasons for this step, and he did not .feel that he could blame the messenger for his conduct.. By bis warrant the messenger was authorised to seize the whole of the property in the bankrupts' house, or in any other place in their possession. Ile did not think the bankrupts could be said to ha-ee been in this posses sion. The bankrupt Williams was performing a contract, but it was upon th a company's premises, and ho could not agree with ;the argument that pos session of these premises waz in the hands of the bankrupts. The agent of the company resided there upon, and Mr. Blatcbley had said to the messenger that the works could not be mopped, and that there would be danger even to life ;by such a stoppage. He did not think that Mr. Bruned, the responsible party in the matter, bad taken the best course that could hare been adopted in direcing Mr. Blatchley and others to eject the messenger'by force. It might have been better if he had been content to 'abide by a de cision of this Court on the legality of the seizure. He could not, however, hold that. Mr. Blatchley bad been guilty of a contumacy towards the Court that would warrant him in committing bim to prison. The rule would therefore be discharged,. Mr. BRAMWELL applied for the costs attendant upon resisting the rule to show caus e. Mr. Commissioner Gounerraredeclined to make any order on the subject, considering that the messenger had not acted with any impropriety that would render it necessary to saddle him with costs. The rule was therefore discharged, but without costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mrs.:Dawson, alias Phmbe Blakeney, was brought up before Sir P. Laurie for further examination. Miss Georgina Elam: was now cross-examined — She said she lived at 3, Torrington-street, Torring ton-square, in the house of a Mr. Pelligrine, a solici tor. She meant by living there that she had her let ters addressed and passed the daytime there, but slept at 40, Keppel-street, kept by a Miss Barrow. A Monsieur Tutrice lodged in the same house, and was a friend of hers, and was the same person she bad before spoken of as the gentleman she was engaged to be married to. She had known him about a year and a half, and left Mrs. Dasyson's house in his com pany when she went to France, but left him in London when she started. for Boulogne. She slept at an hotel near London-bridge for one night, because the train did not start at the time she expected. On the day she left Mrs. Dawson the latter said she could do as she liked, ss she was of age, a n d advised her to " make her bed as she in tended to lie in it." Mrs. Dawson afterwards wrote to her telling her she did not approve of h e r leaving. She left London A lone, and did net see M. Tutrice for nearly four .months after. She never lodged with him in France, and saw him very seldom there. She did not give her address in Keppel-street, in the information, because young ladies like to keep such things to themselves, and she thought it was not necessary, and would not have given it at all if the question bad not been asked. M. Tutrice was not supplying her with funds to carry on these proceed ings. Mr. Pelligrine prepared the instructions, and she employed him because it was he who first drew her attention to the advertisement in the Times in quiringifor "Georgina Elam, who would hear of some thing to her advantage by applying t o Mr. Lane," &c. She was staying with the family of the brother of M. Tutrice, at Rouen, when she first heard of this property, and immediately came to Boulogne (for the purpose of proceeding to England to be married to M. Tutrice), where sbe saw Mr. Pelligrine. She stayed at Boulogne several days. Mr.Pelligrine took the lodg ings in Keppel.street for her because be had not room in his own house, with his family. She went to school in France in 1839, and remained till 1844. She knew a Mrs. Caldwell, and suspected she was the person who inserted the advertisement, but that lady denied it. She did not know anything of the advertisement until nearly a year after its appear ance. Mrs. Dawson knew where she was residing while in France. The eight before sbe went to France she slept in the hotel alone, and M. Tutrice had his hotel separate from hers. M. Tutrice lived in Boulogne, and she Went direct from L on d on to Rouen, where his brothers family resid e d. Sh e h a d received about 201. front Mrs. Dawson while in France, which came through her solicitor, as Mrs. witihnegr 201. per year until any letters. Mrs. she got into business. M. Caldwell had nothing to do Dawson Dawson h c a a d re p fu ro ll m y with her employing Mr. P ell igrine, and she could not tell whether Mrs. Cald w ell was or was not also a i a se v d oid t e o d auo wr mistress of the late Lord Portarlington. She had never heard so from MO- Dawson. Mrs. Mary Anne Robinson Was then called, and said she was at present residing with Dr. Nicholas, her son-in-law. In 18$ 3 she kept a young ladies' school at Ealing, and in the February of that year Mrs. Dawson placed her three eldest daughters with her, the eldest of whoro was seventeen ye a r s o f age , and the youngest fourteen, Mrs. Dawson subse quently introduced a Mrs. Elam, who brought Miss Elam, then a child five years old. Mrs. Dawson said Mrs. Elam was her (Mrs. Dawson's) mother, but she (witness) very muc h doubted it. She thought Mrs. Elam did not look like the mother of a woman of Mrs. Dawson's age. Miss %lam stayed at the school until Midsummer, and then Mrs. Elam took her away and paid the bill. Mrs. Elam said she was going to take her child to Brighton. Miss Elam did not return at the end of the holidays, but Mrs. Elam and Mrs. Dawson called before they went on a journey they intended making, and the former was very particular in recommending Miss Elam to her care, and ob served that " it was her darling child, her own dear child." About a month after that the Earl of Portarlington called, in company with Colonel Darner and Mrs. Dawson, and informed her (wit ness) of Mrs. Elam's deaih. She knew Lord Port arlington, as he had since called to arrange about his daughter Phcebe's marriage. Phoebe Dawson was Mrs. Dawson's youngest daughter. Miss Elam shortly after came back fora few weeks, and Mrs. Dawson directed that the child should be called Georgina Dawson, and Miss 1 lam had ever since called Mrs. Dawson " Mamma." Mrs. Dawson was equally par ticular with that child as her own. At Christmas the children were all taken home for the holidays, but were brought beck on the same evening by Lord Portarlington, as Mrs. Dawson was then in her con finement with her youngest daughter Eleanor. This was in 1835. Mrs- Dawson had told her that she was within a year or two of witness's age, which was not 65. She never heard Mrs. Elam's age, but thought she might be a year or two older. Mrs. Dawson, Who really looked about ten years younger than Mrs. Robinson, was then put by her side for the purpose of contrasting their ages by their ap pearance, but Sir Peter declined to admit such evi dence or to give an opinion at this stage of the case. Mr. Huddlestone said he was about to apply for a subpoena to obtain the attendance of Colonel Close, who was a witness to the marriage of Mrs. Elam with Lieutenant Elam, and who positively refused to ape pear in the matter at all unless compelled. The name of Colonel Close appeared on the affidavits of their marriage sent into the War- office by Mrs. Elam, at her husband's death, to claim her pension. Mrs. Eliza Simpson was then examined for the defendant, and said she was the wife of John Simpson, a master saddler in the Carbineers, at present sta tioned in the county of Cork. Her former husband's name was John William Hammond, and he was the nephew of Mrs. Elam. She was first acquainted with him in 1827. At that time Mrs. Darn wag living in Park- street, Grosvenor-square, with Mrs. Dawson. Mrs. Dawson was apparently the mistress of the house. Witness remained on a visit about a fortnight with them, and at the first introduction to them after her marriage with her husband they passed as mother and daughter. They were, in fact, introduced to her as such, and she heard Mrs. Elam call Mrs. Dawson " her bsen.ife.l, Lsr obild." She thought Mrs. glara was 55 years of age about that time, and Mrs. Dawson not more than 25. There was no indication in Mrs. Elam's appearance at any time of her being in the family-way. Witness had seen her several times undressed, and could swear she was not in that peculiar state at the time the child was alleged to have been born. From Mrs. Elam's age, she believed such a thing impossible. Mrs. Daw son was a most beautiful woman, and lived with Lord Portarlington. She first saw Georgina Elam in 1832,. in Curzon-street, Mayfair. She believed it was in Halfmoon-street she first saw the child, and not in Curzon-street. Had never heard of Miss Elam before. Lieutenant Elam died in 1829, and Mrs. Elam told her (witness) that she had purchased the ehild to impose on a' nobleman as his child. Mrs. Elam then told her it was the Earl of Portarlington. Whenever Mrs. Dawson called the child was sent out of the way, and locked into a bedroom till Mrs. Dawson left. She had taken the child away herself on such occasions, and knew that Mrs. Dawson was never allowed to see it. Mrs. Elam never lived with Lord Portarlington, but intrigued with him while he was living with Mrs: Dawson. This intrigue was carried on both in England and Ireland, and under the same roof with Mrs. Dawson, who was entirely ignorant of it. Mrs. Elam was a very beautiful woman, and looked much younger than she really was, and endeavoured to make herself look still younger. In January last a Mrs. Caldwell called at Mrs. Dawson's while witness was there, and alluded to these proceedings as about to be taken. Mrs. Caldwell was her (witness's) husband's half-sister, and was the daughter of Mrs. M'Car thy, Mrs. Elam's sister. Could not say that Mrs. Cald well was a mistress of Lord Portarlington. Her husband was brought up with Mrs. Dawson by Mrs. Elam. She did not know exactly that Mrs. Elam in trigued with Lord Portarlington, but she suspected it. She had frequently spoken of the purchase of the child to her husband's other half-sister, Eliza Pine. She accounted for the difference in the names of her husband and his half-sisters by the fact that his mother had had three hus bands. She never told Lord Portarlington or Mrs. Dawson, but allowed the imposition to go on, al though the latter was her most particular friend. When Mrs. Elam died witness advised Mrs. Dawson to ad vertise, offering a large sum of money for the parents of the child, but Mrs. Dawson refused, as the child would probably be deprived of many comforts she then enjoyed. Mrs. Robinson here stated that since the last exa mination a woman, refusing her name and address, called upon her and said she had seen her (Mrs. Robinson's) name in the papers as being about to appear against Mrs. Dawson, and intimated that if she did appear it would be very much against her interest, which would be greatly injured by so doing, and further added, that Mrs. Dawson never knew of the child until Mrs. Elam's death. Mrs. Robinson told her it was a falsehood, as she had seen Mrs. Dawson with Mrs. Elam and the child, and then re quested her to leave the house. Mr. Robert Samuel Palmer, of the firm of Palmer and Nettleship, solicitors, of Trafalgar-square, said he first became acquainted with Lord Portarlington in 1830, and acted as his Lordship's solicitor for 12 or 13 years. He first saw Mrs. Dawson in 1830, and Mrs. Elam in 1831. He had frequently occasion to see Lord Portarlington'a younger brother, the Hon. Lionel Dawson, who, in consequence of a remark made by him (Mr. Palmer) about the connexion be tween Lord Portarlington and Mrs. Dawson, express ing his astonishment at his Lordship's cohabiting with Mrs. Elam, said, " Yes, my brother is fool enough to believe he has had a child, and he says he has had the clearest proofs of it." Witness observed that Mrs. Elam was long past the usual three of child bearing, in which Mr. Lionel Dawson fully con curred. A Mr. Francis Harvey, whose name ap peared in the administration bond, was very intimate with Mrs. Elam, and repeatedly told witness that the child had been palmed off as his Lordship's. He never had any conversation with Mrs. Dawson upon the subject of this child until after Mrs. Elam's death. Mrs. Elam died at Manchester, while on a tour with Lord Portarlington and Mrs. Dawson. By his Lordship's directions Mrs. Elam's remains were brought to town and interred in Kensal-green. His Lordship directed the burial, and the statement of her age being only forty-eight was some whim for which Mr. Palmer was unable to account. At her death Lord Portarlington requested him to act for Mrs. Dawson in taking out letters of administration to Mrs. Elam's property. Lord Portarlington acknow ledged to witness that he had had intercourse with Mrs. Elam as well as Mrs. Dawson. Independent of what Lord Portarlington had stated, Mr. Palmer required Mrs. Dawson to give him some corrobora tive testimony that she was the daughter of Mrs. Elam, and she accordingly brought forward Mr. Francis Harvey, who bad known her from a child, and became co-surety with Mr. Palmer for the full amount of 5,0001. administered to. Sir P. Latraxe said the case bad taken a very dif ferent turn to what he had expected, but be would adjourn it to allow Mr. lluddlestone an opportunity to complete the case for the prosecution. Mrs. Dawson was then remanded, and immediately liberated, on Mr. Palmer pledging himself that she should be forthcoming at the next bearing of the case. WRECK OF THE TYENDENAGA. A few days ago we briefly reported the loss of the Tyendenaga, Mr. Lewis E. Rudolf commander, while on a voyage from Quebec to London. We have since received the details, from which it will be seen that the wreck, which was of the most appalling character, took place on the Caribou island, near Point de Mont, and ended in the loss of 17 of her unfortunate crew. The ill-fated ship left Quebec about the 12th ult., but in consequence of some misunderstanding with the crew she was detained until the 17th., when other hands being procured, she set sail with a light favour able wind from the westward, which continued with h e r down the St. Lawrence to the Golf. On the evening of the 21st Point de Mont was observed bearing N.N.E. ten miles disrant, and in the morning Cape Chat was sighted, distance ten miles S.S.E. The wind then sprang up, and gradually increased, and on the evening of the 221 it blew a violent gale. The sea was running very high, and to add to the difficulties of the crew, the weather was exceedingly cold, with a heavy fall of snow. Several poor fel lows were sent aloft to furl the foretopsail, but the gale having increased to a perfect storm, and the fall of snow, h tit, sled sleet becoming thicker, they, after two hours' struggling, wer e compelled to ab a ndon the task. The fury of the gale and sea then threw the ship on her broadside, and the waves snaking a clean sweep over her, the crew suffered severely from the intensity of the cold. As the night advanced their sufferings became more severe. The storm in creased in violence, and for several hours the ship lay on her broadside, with the sea breaking over her. About two o'clock in the morning an at tempt was made to wear her. In doing so, however, the rudder was rendered unmanageable, and ere the injury could be made good a heavy sea struck the vessel and hurled her on her beam-ends. An order was then given to cut away the topmasts, but the tools had been washed overboard. The master and five of his men who had sought refuge in the main rigging were carried away by a sea which dashed over the vessel. The master was thrown on the lee side of the poop, and succeeded in regaining, the wizen-rigging, but nothing was afterwards seen of the five men, who unhappily perished. By this period the ship had struck heavily. Several of the crew secured them selves to the fore and main rigging, and others lashed themselves to the mizenmast. Some ten minutes or so after she had struck the mainmast was carried away close to the deck, forcing with it in its fall the mizentopmtst, foretopmast, and jibboom, when all the unhappy creatures who had secured themselves on those spars were thrown overboard, and as quickly perished. No attempt could be made to preserve them. Daylight disclosed the position of the wreck. The decks had been completely swept, bulwarks, stanchions, 14pars, bolts, &c., being all gone. The master, near whom a poor creature had perished in the rigging in the course of the night, could not see any of the crew, but the sea somewhat moderating, he contrived to get to the poop, when he observed a man lashed to the mizenmast, and the two mates near him. They then secured themselves on the lee side of the mizenmast, and at low water they got to the topgallant forecastle, and discovered there sheltered two men and a boy. There they remained for two or three hours, a n d at the flow of the tide the sea again began to beat over the wreck. They then removed themselves to a more safe position outside the rail, when the ship began to break up. Her bottom was knocked out and larboard side carried away, with portion of the poop, &c. Some of her cargo was also being washed up. The preservation of the remainder of the crew, who were clinging to the wreck, then be came somewhat doubtful. At length some of the natives (Indians) of the island, who had apparently observed the poor creatures, made two large fire• on the coast and gave other signals for them to leave. They accordingly determined upon making a desperate effort to reach the shore, and although much exhausted, they jumped into the sea and struggled as well as possible towards the beach. The surf carried them inwards, and the Indians being prepared to meet them, they were all dragged ashore. As it was, however, one of the men and a boy nearly perished from the exhaustion, and but for the aid of the natives they would have been lost. The survivors were then treated in the most friendly manner on the island, the natives furnishing them with dry clothes, hot tea, and such refreshments as they had. On the following day it was learned that the bodies of twelve of the unfortunate creatures who had perished bad been washed ashore some three cr four miles from the place of the wreck. The master with the remainder of the crew, and a party of In di MS rrOPPPdPfi grave, the bodies were duty interred. .Nottnng, how ever, was seen of the other eve. The natives de- I scribed the gale to have been one of the most severe that had been experienced there for some time. The sea, it seems, was so high as to break over the tower of the lighthouse at Cape dig Mont. The survivors were taken off the island by a schooner which hap pened to touch at the place of wreck, and were conveyed by her to Quebec. The Tyendenaga waa a new vessel. The following are the names of those who perished :—John Smith, George Percy, Joseph Nicholson, Thomas Templeton, John M'Neilly, Richard Wilmot, William Ghinville, John Smith, William Paterson, Edward Bailey (coloured), Robert Robertson, Robert Thackard, Thomas Luckham, James Beals, seamen ; Frederick Pahl, carpenter ; James Sweeton (coloured), cook ; and Robert Flaw, steward. Survivors :—Lewis E. Rudolf, master ; Lewis Hodge, chief mate ; Robert Heron, second mate; John Vaughan, John Gray, James Crawford, seamen; and Charles Williams, boy. HER MAJESTY'S SIIIP CALLIOPE. PRESERVATION FROM LIGHTNING. The Admiralty is in possession of dispatches from her Majesty's ship Calliope, at Sydney, up to the 21st of July last. The ship, on her passage from Hobart Town, was assailed on the evening of the 16th, at six p.m. by a most fearful stroke cf lightning, 1at.:29 S., long. 152 E. It had blown strong in heavy squalls from west all the day ; but, towards evening, moderated with heavy black clouds and vivid light ning in the S.W. Captain Sir Everard Home, who commands the ship, states in his letter that, being below, he was suddenly startled by what appeared to him a mass of fire in the fore part of the cabin, and an explosion as loud as if the nearest gun to the cabin door had been fired. The whole was instantaneous. The electric discharge had struck the mainmast, and passed by the conductors through both sides of the ship. It does not appear that any lightning touched the fore or miaenmasts, so completely had the fluid been conducted into the water that although the captain went immediatelylinto the midshipmen's birth, through which one of the side branches of the conductor passed, yet not the least evidence of what had taken place was apparent, except that a portion of the copper outside the ship covering the bolthead by which the electric fluid was conducted, and in which the branch of the conductor passing through the berth termi nated, was found raised off the side. The copper spindle at the truck was slightly fuzed ; and such was the terrible force of the lightning, that the con ducting plates bore here and there strong marks of violence, the plates being in several places forced up wards from the groove in which they were confined, and the tumblers on the caps thrown back wards. In the midst of all this the mast and ship with all on board remained uninjured. A strong smell of fire in the air was perceriele upon the quarter-deck, under the hood spread to keep off the rain. Thu following extract from a letter written by the chaplain of the Calliope on board the ship, three days after this occurrence, cannot be read by any one con nected with maritime affairs without interest. The letter is dated— "Calliope, at . Sea, about 50 miles from Sydney, July 19, 1851. _ _ " Whilst sitting in the gun-room we were startled by a blaze of light and then a most terrific explosion, as loud as the report of a 64-pounder. We had been struck by lightning; fortunately, the mainmast conductor had received the shock, and the electric fluid passed clean through the ship. Had we not had the conductor the Calliope must have been shattered into a thousand pieces; even after the ex plosion our fears did not subside, as there was a strong smell of burning sulphur all around. The pumps were rigged, and a strict search made, but the con ductor had done its work effectually, and here we are once more safe, and thankful fur our escape ; not oue of our crew ever experienced so fearful a crash." As usual in all cases in which large quantities of electricity are in operation by explosion through the air, the mass of the atmosphere in contact with the surface of the earth and sea was effected electrically, so that, independently of the electrical discharge, se veral luminous phenomena presented themselves. It is not uncommon in thunder. storms on shore to see the whole pavement of a street luminous. In the case of the Scylla, saved by the same means from lightning, in 1843, in the West Indies, electrical sparks were observed on various parts of the deck. In this; case of the Calliope many of the seamen for • ward thought they saw lightning pass out over th e chain-cable. The peculiar smell attendant on violent electrical discharges, usually causing an alarm of fire, bears ample testimony to the force of the shock to which the Calliope was exposed. Oa a review of these phenomena, we cannot but be struck with the complete security afforded by the new lightning-conductors with which, in common with every ship in the navy, the Calliope is fitted, and which we owe to the unwearied labours of Sir Snow Harris, whose several works on this branch of science are well known to the public. It is difficult to estimate at the real value these con ductors to the navy and the country, practically con sidered. We recollect, in 1828, during the wars between the several South American states, two of our fleet sent on that station for the protection of our trade, being completely disabled by lightning—the Thetis frigate and the Heron corvette. Both lost their foremasts, and remained long under refit, so that convoys could not be afforded. The Thetis, being a large frigate, could not obtain a foremast for some time, and then only at a great cost. To recur in detail to the loss to the country, in past times, in men, money, and ships, would be to write a volume of most a=t tctiog narrative. In the ca.e of the Sultan, 74, struck by lightning in 1808, seven were struck dead on the spars whilst furling a sail; another 74, the Repulse, whilst in pursuit of the French squa dron under Gantheaume, in 1810, had eight men killed outright and ten more so dangerously hurt that several of them died soon after ; the ship, therefore, lost the services of no less than 18 of her crew, and was besides so crippled in her spars that no sail could be carried on her mainmast. The ship suffered more, as appears by her log, than if she had been in a ge . neral action. The British squadron in this case lost the service of one of its fastest and best ships. The case of the Trident in the East Indies, in 1803, is a somewhat similar case. The ship was obliged to be taken in tow for two days by the Tremendous, 74. The last remarkable case of this kind which we find (incurring in the royal navy was that of the Rodney, 90 guns, struck by lightning off Syracuse, December, 1838. The unlearned bigotry and prejudices of a few influential persons were at that time busy in retarding the progress of everything like science in the Queen's naval service. Mr. Harris's proposal for a systematic, capacious, and permanent defence of the royal navy from lightning were, as is well known, most vexa tiously opposed. The consequence was that the Rodney, fitted cut at Plymouth in 1837, was sent to the Mediterranean without the sure means of parrying the electric discharge, which had proved 50 successful in other ships. Tne result was that when struck by lightning the most terrible consequences, as usual, ensued. The main top-gallantinast entirely disap peared, and covered the sea with chips. The main topmast was ruined, and the maimast so dealt with that it was found charred to the heart. Seven of the iron hoops were burst open ; two men killed aloft, and two dangerously hurt; the ship was on fire for half an hour, and in imminent peril, and was subsequently laid up at Malta under a costly refit. This disregard of science by those upon whose responsibility such things rested did not cost the country certainly less than 4,000/, besides the loss of the services of the ship. The case created at the time a great sensation, and formed the subject of a report by M. Arago to the Institute of France. It subsequently led to a debate in the House of Commons. Since the question whether the navy of the country was, or was not, to continue ex posed to the ravages :of lightning, and the Treasury to a large annual expenditure, merely to gratify the prejudices and personal animosity of a few persons, could not but be of vast moment to the vital interests of the country—more especially as the greatest sciens tific authorities of which this or any other country can boast were on the side of Mr. Harris. The re sult was a general order in 1842 to fit every ship in the Queen's service with the new conductors, since which time, although we have made very critical in quiries, we cannot find that any ship of the royal nary has suffered from lightning, aithough, as it appears by official returns to a precept of the House of Lords in June, 1849, her Majesty's ships have been exposed to the destructive agency of lightning in the ail parts of the world. From 30 to 40 of the Queen's ships certainly have been saved by Sir Snow Harris's conductors from the destruction formerly attendant on lightning in the navy. The cases of the Fisgard, Scylla, and Constance must he fresh in recollection of naval men ; end hence, as we have al ready observed, the beneficial results of Sir Snow Harris's system of conductors to the interests of the country generally, and to the royal navy especially, cannot be too highly estimated. Had the Callio pe lost her spars, and been crippled on a foreign etatiae, perhaps some of the people either killed or h urt, as was commonly the case in times past when a man-of war was struck by lightning, the country would have lost the services of the ship for the time; the Trea sury must have paid cost of art expensive re-tit. Pensions would have been justly awarded to those crippled or hurt, and in cese of a critical emergency occurring serious inconvenience may have arisen. From all this the country is now free; and we are compelled to admit, that in awarding the first medal of the Great Exhibition to Sir Snow Harris for his invention of a permanent system of conductors for ship; scientifically disposed throughout the vessel, the fury on naval matters, of which we believe Baron Lupin was the president, made a fair and honourable award. Colonel R. W. Story lha accepted the (ace of high sheriff for the 994hty of Leitrim for the eiabNiug year. D ECEMBE 29, 1851. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
