A meeting of Parliamentary Reformers was held at the Town-hall, Bury, Lancashire, on Friday even ing, at which Mr. W. J. Fox, M.P., and Mr. Tindal Atkinson were present by invitation as a deputation from the National Parliamentary and Financial Asso ciation. The hall was well filled, and some influential men of the middle class and some ladies were also the sons and relations of - Peers—from the House of Commons. He, for one, never dreamed of such a thing, wilt* they t wero the people's choice. Let them have the qualifications to recommend them, and they would find theif Way there, and deserved to do so ; but what was complained of was, that they were sent there as the nominees of Peers from paltry boroughs, twenty or thirty of Which would not number as many voters or people as should entitle Them to a single re presentative.—(Cheers.) It was not the Place a man was sent for, but the class he belonged to, that mainly influenced his opinions. If a number of Quakers sent a naval or military officer to Parliament, did he become a inember,or friend of the Peace Society therefore ? Did he not look rather to the interests of his comrades in arms and vote that th e profession might flourish ? Therefore it was that he wish e d that the middle class, and the operatives even, should have persons of their own class to repreient them.—(Cheers.) They were told the people who had possession of the people's house were chosen and sent there. Chosen by whom ? By one male adult out of seven, of persons under influence, The line' of exclusion being drawn according to rent, and not of brains, "so as to include shopkeepers and tdnants;.at-will, but to exclude the sturdy intelli gent operative, who was 'really the most independent. Looking at the register, it seemed that only one voter in seventeen was of the working class, so that the electoral system, in fact, gave only one out of 105 as the working man's proportion. That was by whom they were chosen. Where Were they chosen ? By little places such as Thetford and Arundel, where a couple of hundred „voters returned Members to Parliament, whila4chester and Li verpool did no more.— (Heat - east%) She big and little were jumbled together without system, like looking through different ends of the telescope at them. It. was as if you were looking at a flea and an elephant ; one way the flea was as large as the elephant, and the other way the elephant was as small as the flea.—(Cheers and laughter.) And they were chosen by a septennial revel of the grossest corrup tion and debauchery. We talked of our Constitution; why, if this was it, the banner of the British Consti tution was a bank-note, and its basis a beer-barrel.— (Cheers and laughter.) In returning them for six or seven irresponsible years we seemed to forget the homely maxim that short reckonings made long friends. They asked Lord John Russell to remedy these times. If his Reform Bill would achieve this they would re ceive it with thankfulness; if not, they had to tell The seat which is valuable for seven years would be still valuable for three years; but bring it to an an nual election, and they would see the people safe from temptation, and their representatives go up pure and honest men. Constituencies which are now cor • rupt would become pure, and representatives would become honest by coming continually and constantly in contact with their constituents. From this fre quency and constancy people.would come to the know ledge that they were performing grave and responsible duties, and begin to exercise those minds which were at present dormant. By giving the people annual Parliaments they would give a greater spur to educa tion than any education Bill, because the people would be led to appreciate and value the cultivation of the mind when they had a purpose to which to apply it. Mr. T. GRUNDY, solicitor, seconded the resolution. Mr. TYNDAL ATKINSON, barrister-at-law, was re ceived with applause. He said that the great diffi culty which had always stood in the way of human progress, as far as political rights were concerned, had been the divisions which had been sown among the people themselves. A bad Government could not exist a single instant were it not for the division of class interests. The middle and lower classes must now understand each 'other and unite in the great movement about to take place. Mr. Atkinson then proceeded at great length to review the national ex penditure and show the extravagance of the financial system; referring in particular to the pensions.of the Richmond and Grafton families, and to the misma nagement of the Woods and Forests. He concluded by enforcing the necessity of union, and of continued and persevering efforts for the enlargement of the rights and liberties of the people. The resolution was carried unanimously. present. Mr. J. GRUNDY, of Outwood-lodge, presided, and opened the proceedings. Mr. B. GLOVER moved— " Piet the First Minister of the Crown having inti• mated his intention to introduce a measure of Parlia mentary reform during the next session, the people should lose no time in giving effective expression to their wishes; this meeting cloth therefore declare that any measure which does not re-arrange the electoral dis tricts, extend the franchise to every occupier of a tene ment, protect the voter by the ballot, shorten the dura • Lion of Parliament, and abolish the property qualification required of embers, will fail to satisfy the just expcc• tations of the people—will bo ineffectual in preventing the corruption, intimidation, and oppression now pre vailing at elections, and in securing the full and free re presentation of the people in the Commons' House cf Parliament."—(Applause.) •Mr. B. GRUNDY, of Park hills, seconded the motion. Mr. W. J. Fox, M.P., was then introduced to the meeting, and said he supported the resolution in the sense and spirit shown by the chairman and seconder, believing that financial reform was a most important consideration, and that the direct road to it was a re ferm of the mode of choosing and amending the re sponsibility of those who are to have the holding of the people's purse-strings, and that by a householder we should mean every man whom a house holds.— (Laughter and cheers.) They were met at an inte resting time, when an illustrious stranger had just reached our shores—(Cheers)—and the best compli ment we could pay Kossuth was by showing that, while cheering him, we were the guardians of our own country's rights. Let us show that we were worthy to welcome Kossuth to our shores, that our struggle, like his, is a constitutional, though determined one—let us exhibit that which constitutes his real greatness, and that we belonged to that bro therhood of integrity, independence, and universal freedom which distinguishes the real nobility of man kind from its baseness and its slavery.—(Hear, hear.) The Metropolitan Association he and his friend were there to represent might be said to have originated in the feelings of some new Msmbers of the House of Commons—some that were new in the present, and some that were new in pre vious Parliaments ; men who had felt that they were breathing a different atmosphere to what they had been accustomed to out of doors, where different feelings, sentiments, and sympathies prevailed. And, feeling that they could hardly be listened to with re spectful attention, they said to themselves, " How is this ?" Some of the older Members were prepared to sympathize with them, and Mr. Hume took the lead in that respect. Thus originated his annual motion for reform, in which they found the profession of the National eform Association. That might be said to be the origin of it. Originally it came from the members for the people, who said, " How is this f Was it your meaning to send us to a place where there is very little political sympathy—where there is so little care of the public money, where lavish ex penditure is so continually incurred for objects which you feel no particular interest in, or which you per haps object to ? Do you wish for these large arma ments to be kept up in the 35th year of peace ? If it be so, we have egregiously mistaken you ; you have sent us to Parliament on false principles. But if it be not so, and if we rightly interpret your sen timents, then come forward and assist us ; for without that assistance we can do nothing. Let us find that we have you at our backs when we urge upon the House such things as tend to remove these incongruities, and to remedy these evils."—(Hear.) Thus originated the society of which Sir Joshua Walmsley was the president, and which numbered many members, besides local associations in many of the towns and counties of this !kingdom. Another reason why w e should discuss this question at the present time was, that Lord John Russell had pro missed another Reform Bill. What it was to be we knew nothing of at present, for it was not the custom for Governments to lay their intentions before the public for consideration ere they brought them into the Legislature. The consequence was, that the public was always liable to be taken by surprise ; they were like jurymen having to say aye or no to a proposition which they had no time to consider, and which, perhaps, it was scarcely possible to calculate the consequences of, or to give such a decisive verdict upon as might be obtained if there was opportunity for a full and continuous canvass beforehand. Then, as Lord John Russell would not tell them his mind, suppose they told him theirs.—(Cheers.) His man ner seemed to invite this. He seemed to say," What do you want, and what will content you ?" Their answer was in the resolution before the meeting.— (Cheers.) They did not propound this as all the people would ever require ; they only said it combined a larger amount of support, in and out of Parliament, than any other changes which had been submitted to his consideration. If his Lordship chose to propose anything broader than this, by all means let him do it —(Cheers) —and they would give their careful con sideration to any strong measure which he might have in contemplation.—(A laugh.) In the meantime they gave him this as their minimum, as being large enough to secure the benefits of a real representation such as they did not now possess, while it was limited enough to satisfy any cautious Reformer, and while it was constitutional in all its parts. Small and poor boroughs were not originally selected because they were small and poor, but because, comparatively, they were then rich and populous, and on this ground they claimed a redistribution of seats.

Triennial Parliaments had been the law, and even annual, till that monstrous usurpa tion the Septennial Act was introduced, upon a prin ciple reasonable limits, and it was only by such a uni by which the Legislature m i g ht have made itself perpetual or hereditary. Here the n the y were within as this offered that anything had ev er been won from on the ruling classes. Looking at the aristocratic and titled classes, he thought they were pretty well pro vided for already. They were not merely left the en joyments of their rank, their wealth, their station — though these were pretty considerable, and might content many reasonable persons — (A laug h ) —but they had a good deal more than this; a ll the insti tutions of the country were worked in their favour. —(Hear, hear, and cheers.) They had whatever was most profitable in connexion with the monarchy. How were the large sums an nually voted for the Sovereign in this country—how were they expended ? Not by the Queen. Her Majesty, God bless her ! could not get through half the money voted in her name.—(Cheers.) It did not go into the purse of the Queen, but to the Lords who were grooms of the chamber, the ladies in wait ing, the gold sticks, and silver sticks, and black sticks, and masters: of the buckhounds, and ladies of the bedchamber. That was to say, it furnished some p o h r e t y a nice pickings f o r a p a rticular class, and it was the contemplation of such expenditure as this that made h r a e d p u theirb l ic. own ' —( C h h e e r e e r d s John Milt on say o f i t i n hi s d a y, that " the mere trappings of a monarc h y wou ld be enough to sup port th t a t o was f le g i n s l o a t t o all. e; T ?tary But rih and they must be more than men if they did not some times make laws for the sake of the which would result to themselves. But waiving all this, and leaving to the Lords the enjoyment of this privilege, they also divided among themselves chiefly all the high offices of State. You never saw any man, whatever his intellect or capacity, of the middle class, in the Cabinet. You saw the Cabi • net full of Lords, and generally, too, Lords who were relatives of one another. Had Kossuth run his career of patriotism in this country he could scarcely have been admitted • t o the Cabinet. The great Edmund Burke, whose writings we re referred to as to sonic political ib e, great e s he was, and though first the Whig and then the Tory party gave him a place, not one ever thought of admitting him to the Cabinet. The Peers and titled classes got all the best offices—governorships in the colonies, a mbassadorships, and diplomatic posts. The nominees of Peers often found their way into places as well as into the nominal representation of the people in the Home of Commons. He said, then, having all t h es e advantages—having rank, title, and wealth— they m i g ht be content to leave the House of Com mons for the Commons.—(Hear, hear.) The Howe f Peers was their house, and let them keep to their ow n siee• ap It had been said that some of them wished to e xclude the Fon—that was, the nominal Peers, THE COLLISION AAD SINKING OF THE PASHA STEAM-SHIP. STATEMENTS OF THE COMMANDERS. The following are the depositions of the comman ders of the Paella and Erin steam-ships, regarding the extraordinary collision between those fine vessels, taken before Captain Barker, of her Majesty's ship Amazon. The unfortunate event, it will be recol lected, took place in the Straits of Malacca, and many lives were sacrificed. The circumstances excited considerable sensation ; it has no parallel in the chap ter of steam-boat accidents. The explanation of the commanders of the vessels have been looked for with much interest. him their system would do it, and he ought to come to them. What was the natural result of such a system? Unequal taxation—taxation which in spirit was like the corn-laws, where the poor man's bread was made to pay the landowner's rent, taxation bearing upon the necessaries of life rather than on property. What were the results of this system but a monopoly of office for clans and classes of people, and even for families, so that when one leader of a party went out of office ha advised her Majesty to send for the leader of the other aristocra tic faction ? We read the effects of this system in Mr. Robert Douglas Millar sworn, states,—l was captain of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pasha. I left Singapore in command of her at one o'clock P.m. on the 21st of July, bound to Pe nang and Calcutta. About half-past six o'clock that evening, or it might have been a little later, we were abreast of the Carimons, then about mid-channel. I sent for the chief officer and told him that I wanted to steer a straight course up the Straits N.W. by W. As the chief officer had been accustomed to the compasm, I asked him if there would be any error in thus doing. He said he did not think there was any local variation of the compass.

We saw it in the Church; we saw it in the colonies; we saw it in keeping a large army at home that there might be a change of service in the colo• vies. A large portion of our army answered no pur pose but that. How was it these troops were wanted in the colonies ? It was because we do not give them constitutions, nor allow them the command of their own purse-strings. To the colonists of the Cape of Good Hope we had been promising a constitution for a quarter of a century, but at last instead of a consti tution we had given them Sir Harry Smith, who was playing antics with the Kafir chiefs, and was en gaged in a war with them of which it is impossible to estimate the cost. It was to check these results that we called for a different representation of the people. We wanted a statesman who understands the true character of the Saxon race, and who would deal with them frankly, confidingly, and gene rously. In the times of serfdom the people were al ways ready to follow the barons who led them on to win charters which laid down principles that secured the heritage of freedom to their posterity. In later times there had been nothing like the spirit mani- errors I had on board it was given five or six degrees to the eastward. He said again he did not think there . was any error. From that time up to seven bells (half-past eleven) I had been constantly on deck, quarter deck, and the bridge, I went below for a few moments occasionally to look at the chart. Although I had been told that there was NO error in the com pass, I still felt very anxious on that point. I fancied the ship had gone in more on the Malacca shore than I wished. I was under no particular apprehension. I was on deck myself, and intended to remain on deck all night. I mentioned this my intention to the doc tor about ten o'clock. At seven bells, or a little after, I was standing at the foremost binnacle com pass, chip's head then N.W. by W., and at that par ticular moment a light was reported by the third officer. To the best of my recollection it was the third officer who was standing on the starboard side of the bridge. I immediately went on to the bridge, and thence on to the paddle•box. I then saw a light about a point on our starboard bow, or thereabouts. I had to get over the mainyard, which was lowered down, before I could get on to the paddle box. When I first saw the light it struck me it must be a steamer's light , and I remarked, 26; oet. do 019 "1 Sq. iO g ilk 9 is .• " , 0 0 g g°ll.' • BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, HAMILTON-PLACE, NEW-ROAD, LONDON. We copy the following extract of a letter just received from eminent firm in the city of London, which shows that the Ilygeian system is not only extensively adopted in England, but likewise in all parts of the Continent. This, coupled wills the fact that Messrs.

What invention had they not seized 7—how marked had been their progress—they had founded new empires —they were still founding them—at the very anti podes. In every moral and religious work they had shown themselves equally forward. The middle and working classes carried the Reform Bill and the re peal of the Corn-laws; and to them we should owe another Reform Bill.—(Loud cheers.) We wanted a Reform Act which shall adjust the representation to the population, and the property if you like. Hap pily, it comes to the same thing, for where there is most population there is most pro perty all the kingdom over. After referring to the pleasure he felt in standing in the company of so many veteran Reformers, the Hon. Gentleman concluded by saying-4 , Ave are no inno vators, we are not new-fangled con s tit u tion-mongers —we are not revolutionists —we a dh ere to principles which have been asserted generati on a ft er g eneration, and which are the real constituti ona l principles of this country—which, while it has one house of here ditary legislature, should have another house of re presentative legislature—a House of Commons, no minated by the commons of England.—(Loud cheers.) We have nailed our flag to the mast ; it was not lowered for Pitt, Castlereagh, Peel, or Wel lington, and it shall not be stained or dishonoured for a Grey or a Russell.—(Prolonged cheering.) We ask you to work, to help us to win for the people the great and permanent good of r ea l re presentation. Then may you say to your children, we helped to reform abuses, this magnificent temple of order and justice we helped to build, and we now leave you the heritage we received from our forefathers, no t only unimpaired, but improved and carr i e d f o rward to perfection. n w D w h o i o you thee now f same, and eel youo fsaying will have the consolation leave the world better than we f oun d it."—(T Gentleman resumed his seat amid l ou d and prolonged cheering.) The resolution was carried unani mo usly. Mr. THOMAS WRIGLEY moved th e next resolution. He said, common sense and common prudence would dictate him to be very concise in anything be had to h ti e la Ht w Hon. o e say on this occasion, after having heard a gentleman of such eloquence and power of mind as Mr. Fox. It could not but appear strange to those who had given the matter any consideration,", that in this country, where there is a representative Government, the good which we desire and require for the i m p ro vement of our condition had to be wrung from them by the exer cise of almost physical force. Everything we have had, everything we have earned, was obtained by the determination of the people out of doors, by the force which the people brought against the powers who had t of legislation — t hat recent b ut gr eatest of all possession of the State.

The great sourceof evil in bad representa tion arose from the sources of t nat representationbeing that c onstituencies were bought corrupt. They found and sold in small boroughs, and was only such places as the borough of Lancashire, where the people were numerous and had not time to be cor rupt, that nullified to some small extent the corruption of distant places. He would destroy the Septennial Act and come down at once to annual Parliaments; because in so doing they would make it impossible fo r any manto " That it was a steamer's light." I was just about to order the helm to port, but considering for a moment, I called out starboard, saying at the time, "`'Pe can on no account go in shore of the other ves sel, for I am afraid we are already too close in to the land." When the helm had been put a starboard we brought the light about four points on our starboard bow ; the light then suddenly disappeared. This was three or four minutes after I first saw the light, and as near as I could judge it did not appear for five or six minutes. In consequence of this sudden disap pearance, and not seeing it again immediately, I be gan to think it was a light on board some ship or boat anchored near the shore. I made this remark just before the re-appearance of the light. I had hailed them aft, to bring her head to again, as she was then out of her course ; her helm had been put to port, and she was in the act of coming to when the light re appeared. The bearing of the light at this time ap peared to be one or two points on our starboard bow, but as the ship's bead was lying about, I immedi ately, on the re-appearance of the light, called out " starboard." Shortly after this I went on to the bridge ; the third officer left it and went aft. At this time I hailed them aft to keep the light well on the starboard bow. I frequently asked how her head was. I was told W. by N., and W. N., and, I think, by W. I cannot say by which compass he was steering. There is a difference of half a point between ,the standard compass and the other. The light was about three points on our starboard bow, and had been so from the time we kept away on the second occasion. I then ordered a blue light to be burnt. This was about twenty minutes previous to the collision. The blue light was burnt, and shortly after the other vessel answered it by burning one. I was then confident that the light I had seen was a steamer. At the time the other steamer burnt a blue light I could see her mast head. I then went aft, feel ing anxious about the steering, and by the standard binnacle compass her compass was fast. The third officer, who was aft, made some remark, and which I do not recollect, but I remember answering him by saying, " That ship will never come near us ; she surely can see which way we are steering." I desired the man at the wheel to pay particular at tention to his helm. I,e, got on the rail to look at the light, and it bore then hard on our starboard bow. I then for the first time saw her port (red) paddle-box light and some other lights, probably in the engine-room. I think I saw the green light for a moment, but I cannot be sure, judging from circumstances, the way our head was, and bringing the other ship so far on our bow. I had not the least idea we should go near her. I had got off the rail once or twice to look at the compass. The night had been pretty clear till about a quarter ' past eleven. Stars had been out, but it was then getting somewhat cloudy. About ten minutes before twelve it became misty. Up to this time I had no idea of danger; she appeared to be abeam, or even abaft the beam. I thought she might pass close, but not nearer than 100 or 200 yards, but had not the slightest idea of stopping our engines. I wished to keep away from her, when all at once it appeared as if she put her helm to port, and endeavoured to cross our bow. Up to this time she bad appeared to be coming end on, but in an instant I saw her broadside ; she was then within two or three ships' lengths of us. I called out to the Erin, " Hard a-starboard ; where the deuce are you coming ?" I did this twice. I immediately saw that a collision was ' unavoidable. There was not time to shift the helm, the helm being then hard to starboard, when she came upon us at an angle of 45 or 50. I thought there was a chance of passing us, but I could do nothing to save the collision; my helm was half-a- starboard. When the helm came close I called out to the chief engineer to stop her. Somebody was aft, and I heard something about lowering the boats. I called out, in reply, "Lower away as fast as possible." I was on the rail when the Erin struck us, and the shock was so great as to pitch me off the deck. I then went to the break of the poop, with the intention of going forward, as I heard those on board of the Erin calling open I eow out, " Come on board, you are sinking." At this time the Erin's bow was well over our deck. I jumped into the saloon, partly to call up those w h o might be there, and partly to get a box co n t a i n i ng tae ship's documents, seamens' register ti c k ets, and s I s e a r v y one to tried g t o n deck. some of my own papers.

All orders were given by me and promp tly g obeyed. From the time of seeing the Erin's light we had steered aW. N. course about four miles. After the Erin's light was re-hoisted she appeared to near us as if her course had altered. By the compass she appeared to be drawing aft, and I thought she would pass us well on the starboard side. Till I saw her broadside she appeared to be running S.S.E. I saw the land just before the collision, about seven bells— the land above Mount Formosa by indifferent bear ing N. by E. When I saw the Erin's light I fancied myself about five miles from the shore. 1 did not s ee the low land. I calculated the Erin to be six or seven miles off when I saw her light first. Upon a sudden meeting I should have ported ' the helm, but as she was so far off I never thought of her going near us. The Erin did not appear to come round gradually, but her broadside appeared as if by magic. I think everything was done on board the Erin that pos sibly could have been done under such circumstances, and she was kept near the wreck as long as it was prudent to do so. Captain Watson spoke to me on the subject, and spoke of running her ashore. We were afraid she frould not - fidnkre. I have been through the Straits three - br four - Utiles. Latterly the Pasha steered well, being in good trim. (Signed) ROBER T D OU GLAS MILLAB. Mr. Thomas Trouson swor n , s t a t es —l am captain of the Peninsular and O r i en t a l C ompan y's steamer Erin. We passed the W a t er I s l an d s a b ou t nine o'clock rat., on the 21st of J u l y , w ithi n t wo miles and a half or three mil es; we were go i ng at th e ra t e of nine or nearly ten knots, with a flood tide in our favour. About 45 minutes past ten o'clock I saw the low land about Mount Muar for a minute—the officer of the watch was on the paddle-box. He did not see me come on deck. I then went into the cabin and lay down, and came out again a little before seven bells (half-past eleven). I then saw Mount Formosa distinctly. It bore N.E. by E. We had been steer ing S.E. by E. from the Water Islands. I was walk ing the port side of the quarter-deck, and heard the officer of the watch who was on the paddle-box, call out " port." I looked ove r th e por t s id e of the quarter-deck to see why he did so, and saw a light. Shortly after we saw a blue light burning, and a steamer's paddle-box lights, both of them, and also the mast-head light. I suspected it was the Pasha, as we expected to meet her. The light then bore about two points on our port bow. As we drew near 1 saw her three lights ' and I thought she wished to speak us, and I sent wo rd to stand by the engines. It never occurred to me for a moment, meeting so directly opposite, that she would put her helm to star board, as the rule is for steamers, when meeting, always to put their helm to port. Steamers in the Straits frequently do speak to each other. We still neared each other, and, thinking we were approach ing too close I kept telling the man to port the helm. I could not see the hull of the Pasha on account of its being a dull night, until I thought the Pasha's lights unusually close ' • they were still all three in sight. I then ordered the helm to be hard to port, and assisted myself in putting the helm .up, at the same time calling out " Stop her." About this time I heard some one on board the Pasha call out " star board," but whether meant for our vessel I could not tell ; but it would have been too late—our helm was already hard to port. I then ran, intending to go forward, but before I could reach the paddle-box we struck the Pasha. I saw the Pasha was gradually set tling down forwards, and I called out to Captain Mil lar to order every one forward as fast as possible, at the same time telling the engineers not to move the engines, knowing that the wheels would be used as a means of getting on board. I called out at the same time to open the paddle-box doors, and for men forward to throw rope. ends over the bows, or what ever else they could get hold of. I also ordered the boats to be lowered. The reason of my telling the engineers not to touch the engines, was because I thought people might be climbing up by them. As soon as the Pasha sank I went aft. All five boats were down, and pulling in all directions. rAfter a short time the boats returned, bringing in some people whom they had picked up. They went away again, and they were pulling about for upwards of an hour; and it was not until that I found the fore hold was filling that I recalled them. We then hoisted them up and cleared away the wreck of the Pasha's masts, &c., and our own rigging, and got a eail under our bow. While this was being done, an officer and several men were making everything ready for leaving the ship in boats, in case she should sink, as also constructing a raft on the forecastle. At that time the fore hold was full of water, and our only chance of safety depended on the holding of the bulkheads of the engine -room. Whilst this was going on the Pasha's crew were mustered to see who was missing; it was at first said to be 12 only, but afterwards it was found 16 was the number missing. About this time Capt. Millar called his officers together, and a consultation was held as to what had better be done. We deter mined to run close in shore, and if possible into Ma lacca, which was only 40 miles distant. Immediately the engines were set going and the pumps going, it was found that we gained much on the leak, and after running half an hour towards Malacca, finding that we gained so much on the leak, a consultation was again held with Captain Millar and his officers, on the propriety of turning towards Singapore, and we de termined to do so. In about two or three hours after we bad borne up to Singapore, we had pumped nearly all the water out of the hold, which I attributed to the pressure of the water against the sail under the bows preventing its running into the hold. I was pretty confident of my position at the time of the col lision, having passed through the Straits so many times, and that during the night. I considered my self seven or eight miles from the shore. The appear ance of the land is very familiar to me. I never had the least conception of the danger of a collision till it took place. sympathise with C apta i n J wing by the meeting : Ry ' ri l e : i T n h th at e a w cc e ide a n iu t c w er h e i l e y h has rendered it necessary to return to the port which we have so recently left. "2. That the accident, according to our judgment, can only be ascribed to the prevalence of a dense fog, which prevented the Copeland Lights from being seen, and to those strong tidal currents which prevail in the North Channel,-of which we had ample evi dence when the - ship was extricated from her perilous position. " 3. That the manly firmness and promptitude of action displayed by Captain Eyrie under these trying circumstances command our highest admiration, and entitle him to our fullest confidence as a commander and seaman. _ (Signed) THOMAS H. TROUSON. Strange to say, not the least vestige of the wreck of the Pasha can be found. She had on board nearly half& million of specie, besides several chests of treasure. ACCIDENT to the ROYAL MAIL STEAM- SHIP AFRICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, OCT. 27.—At seven o clock this morning the British and North American royal mail steam-ship Africa, which left this port for New York on Saturday last, returned to her berth, having met with an accident when only a few hours out, by running aground near the Copeland Islands during a dense fog, at about ten o'clock on Saturday night. We are happy to say there has been no loss of life, and that, beyond the damage done to the hull of this noble steamer, the disaster is unattended by any serious results. eedtfhio of made rocks e r rpotaceineded slow ly far as we have been enabled to ascertain them in the The particulars of this unfortunate occu ß rr y e r n i c e e, ith si confusion consequent upon the catastrophe, are as follows :—About two o'clock in the afternoon the moving the Coll in so dense, indeed, that it was impossible to see pilot was discharged, and a dense fog th s o o u o g n h aft er frc s h ta ie n h ce w o a n s the ru u r n o i c i i k g s , con cussion icona h auane a es : sa l yd f srt iii horoa t t in h ahnts e e tes eiw:yeca l atno e tas ut n kwrb g r aesuh t nne h ie: sehotl slackenedhi f togtbe hhu t eSt h t A. , speed,eee lnf fr v gai escianta notwithstanding The;eeLs engines ta. engines and proceeded rkh C i the s t a h e n t e d rapidat im m edi ately ra , reversed; car r i ebut hert h the sometide, distance rendered the backward movement from Belfast, and shortly afterwar en d iaOe s sn a aw th re i er r of the engines fruitless.

After she had been released, Captain Ryrie resolved on returning to Liverpool, where he arrived this morning at seven o'clock, attended by one of the steamers which had assisted in getting her off the reef. The Africa was taken into the north graving -dock this afternoon, for the necessary examination and re pair. No blame can, it is admitted by the best judges, be attributable to any person, as the occurrence vas beyond all human forethought. " 4.

The Thetis, 38 Captain A. L. Kuper; Amphitrite, 24, C apt. Charles ' Frederick ; Gorgon, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Paynter, and Nereus, receiving-ship, were then i n port.

The Champion, 14 , Commander Hayes, was hourly expected, with large freight for England. The Thetis bad a most splendid voyage from Monte Video to Valparaiso, rounding Cape Horn with all sails set. The Gorgon waited the return of the admiral, to leave the station for England, orders for which, it was anticipated, were received by the last mail. The iron steam-transport Birkenhead, Master Commander Salmond, was undocked yesterday, having been partially touched up with Mr. Hay's composition. She has had eight months' service since she was last paid over with it, and all that she required was to be touched up where the composition had been rubbed off about the light water line, where some few clusters of barnacles had accumulated. Under the bilge she was hard and smooth, and we cannot speak in too high terms of her bottom in ge neral. She was payed over in January last, when she took troops to Halifax and to Quebec at a time of the year when she encountered sufficient field ice to knock off some of her paddle floats. She afterwards con veyed troops to the Cape, where she encountered some very heavy weather, but behaved exceedingly well, and it i 3 quite pleasing to hear that her crew speak of her as a brat-race sea boat, and as to speed, nothing can touch her. When this vessel was first commissioned as a steam-sloop she was thought to be a dangerous vessel, and was placed on one side, fortunately Capt. Stevens, of the steam department at Portsmouth, made several short trips to Lisbon, to Cork, &c., and he reported so very favourably of her speed and poi. qualities, that she was immediately brought into use, and is now one of our best steam transports. She was taken alongside the coal depot yesterday, and when complete will go alongside the ' yard jetty, where she will be in the hands of the en gineers of the yard till the 31st instant, when she will be again ready to convey troops. Medea, steam-sloop, will be undocked on the 10th of November, when the Simoom will be taken in in her place. Stromboli, steam-sloop, was taken into the steam basin yesterday. Porcupine, steamer, was taken into dock yesterday at Portsmouth. Ranger, 6, Commander Miller, was paid off at Devonport on Saturday. The officers dined together at Morshead's Royal Hotel, where they spent the evening very comfortably. Rochester, lighter, Sudwicks, master, sailed from Devonport, with stores, from Portsmouth, on Sa turday. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 25.—The Crane, 6, Commander M'Donnell, was commissioned on Wednesday, and is to have a complement of 76 officers and men. She was brought to the jetty to-day, and is to he ready for the coast of Africa on the 10th of November. The Desperate screw-steamer, in charge of Mr. Brown, Second Master Attendant, is ordered to cruise in the Channel. The main and mizenmasts of the steam block-ship San , pareil are to be fitted with galvanized iron rig ging. The Spartan frigate and Ferret brig are ordered to be brought forward for commission. The Manoeuvrer lighter came in yesterday from Woolwich. The Lucifer steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander George M. Jackson, is ordered to be paid off at this port on Thursday next. WOOLWICH, OCT. 27.—THE ARCTIC COMMITTER. —The members of this committee held a sitting at the Admiralty to-day, to examine the reports of Cap. tain Austin and Captain Penny, and also to obtain answers to questions which may be put to them, and to the officers who accompanied them in the recent searching expeditions, as to the best plans to be adopted in the future expeditions which were decided upon before the committee was appointed.
