The Medea has made the fastest passage from the Cape on record. This vessel is one of the few perfect steamers given to the navy by Mr. Oliver Lang, Master Shipwright of Woolwich Dockyard, is of 350 horse power, with engines by Maudslay and Field, with tubular boilers, and stows 222 tons of coal in her bunkers.

She sailed for about twelve hours after this with- light winds while something was being done to her en gines. She was part of the time on three boilers working expansively, and part on two boilers. The Commodore (with his flag on board the Fury) wished her to hurry off homewards ; so she commenced re coaling, although she had not a fall quantity to take in, and was enabled tostaxt on thel9,- at 3:r.re., for Point de Gslle, calling at Malacca to put some in valids on board her Majesty's ship Amazon. She had a dead calm the whole of the way from Singa poreb or t s o , Point worki n d ic e ex p Galls, au a i c y t e e l a y m ; e d a r a r l i v l e t d h e a t w G a y a on about e t 11 A.M. on the 25tb, filled up with coal, and started at 10 the same night for Bombay with light and contrary winds, and strong northerly gales the last two days , working occasionally three b o il ers expan sively, and occasionally two; and arrived at Bombay on the 30th of March, about 10.30 Am. At Bombay, having received her instructions from the Governor- General, she completed with coals, water, and pro visions, embarked Colonel Mackeson and Captain Ram say, and the diamond, and left on the 6th of April at 2 P.M. for the Mauritius ; arrived there on the 21st at one r m., having only been enabled to sail three days out of the passage. She started from the Mauritius with a favourable wind at midnight on the> 25th of April for the Cape of Good Hope, and although the winds were very variable and enabled her to make pretty o g r o r o i o r d u n w s i , t v b u ry t i b n e g d fr i o s t m a u 7 c 9 e t t o b a l t 9 h o e miles i q l e u s a p u e t i r ty d a o y she coal would have allowed her to steam, when a heavy gale came on from the westward and washed away her gig, starboard quarter davits, and a great portion of l her starb oa rd quar t er deck bulwarks. The main (chain) rigging gave out so much that the main mast was very near going over the side, but it was fortu nately secured ; the fore gaff was also carried away on the same night. After the gale moderated and the wreck was cleared away, the steam was got up and was put out occasionally, only when the wind strengthened so much as to impede her progress to such a degree as to render it uncertain whether the coals would hold out, even although used at the possible quantity ; and on arrival at' the recoaling was impeded at the Cape by the C lo a w p e e s , t on the 14th of May at one P.M,. she had to b c u o n a k i e in rs. o u n e ly rme t s en ste t a o m ns . for the transport of four companies of the 6th Regi trooofp-vceosaslel h m avin th g e a hu H rr e y r Regi ment for the, Buffalo, although every assistance was rendered by the Commander of the Hermes and the dockyard authorities. After starting from the Cape she experienced two days' strong north-west winds, then calms all the way to St. Helena, except one day when there was a moderate breeze, when sails only were used, allowing her to make only three or four knots per hour. She arrived at St. Helena on the 30th of May at four r.m., and sailed on the 2d of June (on Sunday) at one p.m., having completed coals and water, and started for Bona Vista, where she arrived on the following Friday, and sailed this day fortnight, having taken in. there 100 tons of patent fuel; ..she steamed against the north-east trades to Madeira, and arrived there yesterday week (the 23d inst.). At Madeira she took in 180 tons of coal, and Jeft last Sunday (the 23d) for England, steam ing. a ll the way, with smoot4 water,. light winds, and 'calms, and made Plymouth - yesterday. at seven- A.m. • landed her mail s an d di spatc h es , an d sa i led at three p.m. for Portsmouth, where she anchored this morning at seven. She found that working three boilers expansively was the best system of steaming, even although she carried so few coals, unless sail could be carried to assist the steam, when two boilers answered best ; but working one boiler, either with or without sail, was found to be perfectly useless. Her passage was made in forty days and about eleven hours from the Cape, which is given to us as the quickest on record. Between St. Helena and Bona Vista she sailed four days with a good strong trade, and making about 180 miles a-day. The rest of the time was occupied in steaming only against a light north-east wind. At Mauritius, during the stay of the Medea, many ships came in disabled from the hurricanes; amongst others the Gloriana, with loss of mainmast. Five cases of cholera (two deaths) having occurred in the Medea just after leaving Bombay, when she arrived at Mauritius she was put into quarantine. She was not allowed to enter the harbour, but made to anchor out side in the roads and refused all supplies, the people on shore being in a state of great excitement and alarm. Commander Lockyer being in want of fuel, provisions, water, and stores, toenable him to prosecute his voyage homewards in safety—his coals being very low, water too bad to gi ve t o h uman beings, and stock nearly ' ex hausted—applied for 200 tons of coals, fresh provisions for invalids and water, also a little medicine for the ship's company, through Commander Hawker, of her Majesty's ship Orestes, but at first all assistance was refused; ultimately, however, by proper representa tions to the authorities, a lighter or some such vessel was purchased among the people ashore, and a quan tity of coals sent out to the Medea—about 150 tons. She was not given time to tranship the cargo, al though she employed even the invalids in the work ; but after getting in about 130 tons she was com manded to leave the place at midnight or she would be fired on—after being there about two 'days. The provisions did not go off to the Medea at all, and the medicine for the invalids not until the last moment. In this state, ill-found in every essential for the health and comfort of her crew, the Medea was driven off to sea. At the Cape all was quiet. The Governor was at Cape Town. The Apollo troop .ship, Commander Rawatorne, had arrived at the Cape from China, en route to England, with the 95th Regiment, whom she had been com pelled to land at Simon's Town and billet in the naval yard, dysentery having broken out amongst them and carried off 45 of the number ; many more were then suffering from it and were in hospital. Commodore Wyvil, the Commander-in-Chief on the Cape station, was in the Mozambique with the Pantaloon, 10, Commander Parker. The Dart brigantine sailed on the 17th of May to join the Commodore and look after slavers. The Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Browne, had become so useless in consequence of her machi nery breaking down, that the Commodore has sent her home under sail. She sailed from the Cape about a fortnight before the Medea, and passed St. Helena the day before she arrived there. At St. Helena numerous slavers, prizes to Com modore Fanshawe's squadron, were lying; one came in on the day the Medea left—a prize to the Hecate steam-sloop, Commander Beauchamp —a fine schooner. Commodore Fanshawe was at St. Helena in the Centaur steam-frigate, whither the Gladiator steam frigate, Captain Adams, had followed him. The Star, 6, Commander Selwyn, sailed from St. Helena for Ascension and Sierra Leone en route to England, to be paid off on the 2d of June. Commander Lockyer, of the Medea, went overland to India with Admiral Collier as flag - lieutenant, and on the appointment of Commander Mason to take home the Melampus he was appointed to the Medea, and was confirmed as Commander of her on the 20th of December, 1649. Commander Lockyer's active services in the suppression of piracy in China will be fresh in the recollection of the public. DEFERRED ANNUITIES. Ry the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to At!ord to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta oons than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con t!ihntion of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving. may se ,ire either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, At his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his loath ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of 'sorrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording In ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two 'hirds of his payments will be returned to kis representatives. 'lke following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan ages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. I.

Oa Friday afternoon an important investigation took place before Mr. William Payne, the coroner for London and Southwark, and a special jury, in the board-room of Guy's Hospital, respecting the death of Alexander Scott,' aged thirty-four, a police-con stable of the R division, who died from the effects of chloroform while undergoing an operation for the removal of a portion of the right hand, which had been bitten by a man thirteen months previously whilst on duty at Deptford. James Scott, of Creek-road, Deptford, stated that the deceased was his brother. In May, 1849, the deceased received an injury to the right hand while on duty by having-one of his fingers bitten by a man whom he bad taken into custody for creating a dia.. turbance. The middle finger was soon afterwards amputated by a surgeon at Deptford, but deceased always complained of great pain in the limb. On Wednesday week deceased was advised to apply to Guy's Hospital, with a view of having some operation performed to relieve him. Witness came to the hos pital on Wednesday last, just after the operation had been performed, and then found his brother dead. By the CORONER—Had heard since the death that deceased had died under the influence of chloroform, taken by his own wish, as he (the deceased) could not bear the pain attending the operation. The next witness called was— John Lacy, the dresser to Mr. Edward Cock, one of the senior surgeons, who stated that he first saw the deceased on the morning of Wednesday last. Witness examined the right hand, and found that the second finger had been removed at the knuckle joint. Mr. Cock was present, and everything having been arranged chloroform was administered to the deceased by the machine, but not taking effect it was applied in another way. In about two minutes the chloroform took the proper effect. The operation was then com menced by Mr. Cock, when the deceased appeared to be fainting, and just as Mr. Cock had completed the operation the deceased was found to be dead. Mr. Edward Cock said, the deceased was sent to him by a surgeon at Deptford for severe pain in the right hand. One of the fingers had been removed, and deceased suffered great pain at the stump. Wit ness found him to be a strong vigorous man. The bone was in a diseased state, as were also the nerves, pro ducing very great tenderness of the arm and right side of the body. The only remedy was to remove the end of the bone and the diseased nerves. The deceased came into the hospital to have the operation performed ; when deceased said, "I hope; Mr. Cock, you will give me chloroform, for I cannot bear the pain." Witness informed him that he would rather not use it and endeavoured to dissuade him from taking it ; but the deceased addect that he had ma le up his mind to have it administered to him. Wit ness always objected to the use of chloroform, for it could never be given without some degree of danger. The ordinary machine was used, and, as it had not the effect, witness directed that a napkin should be folded into the shape. of a comb, which was applied with chloroform. The operation of removing a por tion of the bone occupied one minute and a half, but before it was completed the blood which was gushing out suddenly stopped, when witness directed Mr. Lacy to feel the pulse of deceased, when they ascer tained that the deceased had expired. The CORCINER—W hat was the cause of death ? Witness —The chloroform most undoubtedly. In this instance a very small quantity had been us-d, not a tenth part of what had been administered in other cases. Witness could not account for the patient dying, and was certain there was no disease about him. So strong and powerful an agent was chi°, o form that it could not be administered without some amount of risk and danger, and the penalty the public must pay for the alleviation from pain would be a death occasionally. A similar death occurred about 12 months since at St. Thomas's Hospital, and many other deaths might he recorded. It might be used one or two thousand times, or more, succesatiliv, and was of great assistance to the operator. The public ought to know the danger and great risk at tending its administration. In many cases where chloroform had been used witness had waited with breathless attention for the recovery of the patient. Witness strongly objected to its use. The CORONER then summed up the evidence, re marking at some length on the melancholy drown-
