STAMPED 5 THE 0 VERLA G OF SEA-GOING VESSELS. Yesterday an official inquiry, which had extended over two previous days, and held by direction of, the Board of Trade, was concluded at the Greenwich Police-court, before Mr. Patteson, the magistrate, and Captains Harris and Baker, nautical asses sors, into the circumstances attending the loss of the Volunteer steamer in the Bay of Biscay, while on a voyage from London to Trieste, under the command of Captain Job. Mr. Day, barrister, attended for the owners (Messrs. Courtney and Co., of Sunderland) and the master. The evi deuce taken was very voluminous, it appearing that the Volunteer left Cardiff on the 22d Sep tember, encountered a fearful gale on the 24th, when her engines broke down, and she was aban doned on the night of the 26th, during the con tinuance of the gale, the loss being mainly attri butable to her being very much overladen. - The court having retired to consider its judgment, on its return Mr. Boustred, the chief clerk, read the same, and which stated that on the Volunteer leaving London she hal a cargo of 541 tons, or within a fraction of her registe-ed tonnage, con sisting chiefly of iron and tin. At Cardiff a further cargo of 241 tons were shipped, together with 25 or 30 tons of coal, making in all 808 tons, being an excessof 264 tons, or one-half more than her registered tonnage, and 117 in excess of her gross tonnage. Toe judgMent of the court con cluded as follckws :—There is no doubt she was very deeply .laden, more especially as so large a por tion of her cargo was dead weight. It is possible that, had her'engines not broken down, she might have reached her destination in safety ; but, on the other hand, had she been less heavily laden she wouM have made better weather of it. With regard to the responsibility of the master in reference to the disaster, the Court takes into consideration that it was Mr. Job's first voyage in the Volunteer ; that he may have known little or nothing of the capacity or capabilities of the ship ; and that he proba bly relied upon the knowledge of his mate, who held a master's certifica►te of competency, and who had been several years in the vessel. Upon these grounds only the Court feels disposed to exonerate Mr. Job. \Vhile making every allow ance for the relative position of master and owner, the court holds that it is the duty of the master to protest against his ship being improperly laden, as in the event of accident arising from such a cause, he alone is responsible for the lives under his charge. Under all these circumst Lnc:s the Court does not think that Capt. Job abandoned the Volunteer prematurely, but it would have been more satisfied had he ascertained the quantity of water in the ship before he left her." The certifi cate of Captain Job was then returned to him by the Court. It may be stated that the whole of the Volunteer's crew—twenty in all—were saved by the schooner The Sisters, the captain of which offered to stand by during the right ; but the gale increasing, and the lights placed on board the ill-fated vessel having either been blown out by the wind or extinguished on the vessel sinking, the captain of the schooner, for the safety of his own vessel and of the lives of those he had on board, proceeded to the nearest port. NAV.IL AND MILI7ARY INTELLIGENCE. The hulks lent by the British Government to the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company for the conveyance of the French Atlantic Cable from Greenwich to Sheerness, there to be deposited on board the Great Eastern, are the Iris and the Amethyst, two of the old sailing 26's. An order has been received from the Lords of the Admiralty for the removal of the engines of the Lizard, 1, 340 tons, 150 horse power (tender to the Formidable, 26, flagship at Sheerness). The vessel will be afterwards removed to Chatham for further survey. It is anticipated that the whole of her bot tom plates will have to be removed, as they are worn very thin. Advices received from the Pacific squadron by the Chatham correspondent announce the arrival at Valparaiso, on the 6th ult., of her Majesty's screw sloop Reindeer, 7, 200 horse power, Commander E. Nares, after a lengthened cruise among the islands in the Pacific. The Reindeer left Honolulu on the Ist of June, and arrived at Christmas Islands on the 11th of the same month, sailing on the next day for Maiden Island, which was reached on the 19th. The island is being worked by an Australian company for its guano, of which there is an immense supply. About 40 persons were found located on the island, the arrival of one of her Majesty's vessels being hailed with great delight, upwards of two months having elapsed since they had seen a sail. On the following day the Reindeer left for Starback Island, which had also been worked for its guano, but, owing to the difficulty of embarking it, and the bad anchor age for ships, the trade had been given up, and the island abandoned. All the buildings on shore were found to be in ruins, a proclamation being disco vered of the island having been taken possession of by the captain of her Majesty's ship Falcon, 17, 100 horse power, Commander 11. L. Perceval, and also the notice of a visit from her Majesty's ship Mutine, 17, 200 horse power, Commander 11. M. Alexander. On leaving, a notification of the Rein deer's arrival was placed with the other docu ments. The Reindeer afterwards sailed for the islands marked Gozewen and Bauman on the charts, she passed over the assigned posi tions of each without seeing either of them. Caroline Island was reached on the 9th of July, the officers landing, when the island was taken pos session of by Commander Nares in the name of the Queen and the Union Jack hoisted. Her Majesty's ship Topaze, 31, 600 horse power, flagship of Com modore R. A. Powell, C.B. ; Malacca, 18; 200 horse power, Captain R. B. Oldfield ; and Mutine, 17, 200 horse power, Commander H. M. Alexander, were at Coquimbo. The Nassau, 5, 150 horse power, Captain R. C. Mayne, C. 8., surveying vessel in the Straits of Magellan, arrived at Valpa raiso on the 7th ult.

A few doses of these pills taken in time are an effectual prevention against gout and rheuma tism. Any one who as an attack of either should use Holloway's ointment also, the powerful properties of which, combined with the effect of the pills, must in fallibly effect a cure. These pills act directly on th e blood, which they purify and improve.

The Times notices a rumour which had a snort existence. in London. It was to the effect that the elections were to be postponed. The postponement was not to be for any long period— no longer, indeed, than a week, but a week would be sufficient to carry on the time for the meeting of Parliament, the swearing in of members, the election of the Speaker, and the delivery of the Royal Speech, to so late a day that it would be impossible for the debate on the Address to be closed so as to admit of the formation of a new Government in time to control the policy of the coming year. Many reasons were assigned for this postpone. ment besides that which all who repeated the rumour regarded as the real motive for it. It was said that it was necessary the Court of Common Pleas should decide the registration appeals pending before it; it was desi rable appointments which might be questioned should be come so overlaid by fresh events that it would be impos sible to disturb them ; that the postponement had been determined by command, besides other hypotheses which each purveyor of the rumour felt himself at liberty to frame according to what he conceived the exigency of the situation. The Times denies its authenticity, but remarks that it is a painful instance of the suspicion which attaches to the present Administration. Our contemporary reviews the circumstances which led to, the present accepted arranger .eat, and says : We do not dwell on the immense inconvenience to the whole nation of any further postponement of the general election. Already a dangerous interval has passed, and we speak no more than the truth when we declare that candidates and electors are alike weary, and would rejoice at an acceleration of the day of trial. There is, indeed, nothing but the well-understood agreement that the writs should issue on the 11th of next month to prevent the elections being held before that time. The registration is comPlete., There is not the slightest necessity that any appeals from the decisions of the revising barristers should be tried before the elections, as the statute expressly pro vides that the register shall be taken - as it stands, without regard to pending appeals, and that elections should be uninfluenced by the subsequent fate of appeals. The same reason which prevents a postponement prevents, however, an anticipation of the day, and we may therefore repeat with confidence that the writs will be issued on the day already fixed upon. The Daily Icews says a course of proceeding is believed to be contemplated by her Majesty's Ministers which would be incredible of any other Government than that which now holds power. Mr. Disraeli, 'it is said, has come to the conclusion that his own political interests will be materially served by his continuance in office until February. With a view to this result, it is necessary to prevent the meeting of Parliament before Christmas, and to ensure that the vote which must decide the fate of the Ministry shall not be taken until the second month of next year. It is easy to see how advantageously the time thus gained can be abused by the arch-mystifier for the purpose of falsifying the issues before the country, of educating his own party, and of bewildering the more simple of his opponents. The trick by which all this is to be managed is a very simple one. It consists simply in postponing for a week the issue of the writs. There is but one man of high political position in England whom his countrymenwould deem capable of such a course of conduct. But that man is the Prime Minister. Ali that people are saying now is, "How like him !" There are no more than a dozen politicians who would be accomplices in such an act of treachery ; but those dozen are Mr. Disraeli's colleagues. The decisive step is not yet taken. But nothing but the disclosure of the contemplated trick and the expression of public indignation will prevent its adoption in the course of a day or two. If the device be discarded on the part of its discomfited authors, the denial that it was ever entertained is a matter of course. Those who have baffled the sharper may smile at his professions of innocence. The Star mentions the report that, on the plea of a re quest of the Queen, the Prime Minister intends to secure at a Cabinet Council on Saturday the sanction of his colleagues to a postponement of the issuing of the writs till the 18th of November. The country will ring with indignation if this sorry manoeuvre prove to be really in contemplation. The Star points out the leading motives of the Government to be the post ponement of the consideration of the Church ques tion, and to prevent their expulsion from office until next year. Subsidiary considerations have also their weight. It is essential that Lord Mayo should be got safe out to India, and there is one of Mr. Disraeli's colleagues who particularly desires to complete, before the resigna tion of the Government, the term of office which is necessary to enable him to draw his pension. We have neither opportunity nor leisure at this moment to pursue this miserable and tortuous policy into its details. We simply state, for the informa tion of the country, rumours which demand its immediate and most anxious consideration. There is time before Saturday to evoke such a declaration of public opinion as will make it perfectly hopeless for Mr. Disraeli, bold and contriving as he is, to think of making his col leagues accomplices in the design which is attributed to The Post reviews Mr. Bright's late speech, which seems to indicate that he considers a very fair instalment of what he has asked has already been accorded, and that he may therefore begin rather to fight the old battles over again than to look out for fresh fields of conflict. He positively asserts, with reference to the recent great concession of power to his special clients, that " power is not necessarily happiness, and that a vote is not necessarily wisdom ;" and actually goes on thus : " Although I believe that a Parlia ment elected by a nation is not likely to be selfish, it is pos sible that a nation may at times mistake its own inte rest on some very great question." Surely this is rather a new Mr. Bright who admits that much ; but the fact itself is beyond contradiction, and it is useful and appro priate to insist upon it at this time, when there is a ten. dency to throw up all hats over Reform, and to believe that all possible good things are certainly to come to us from household suffrage. In Mr. Bright's eyes the Liberals are very virtuous and the Tories very wicked. The Post believes better of the Tory party than Mr. Bright does, and would like to reta'n the hope that, having now helped itself to the names of Liberal-Conservative, Conservative-Liberal, Constitutional, and so on, it will, with the new titles, have acquired a new power of being occasionally in the futuro less wrong than Mr. Bright says it has consistently been in the past. The Standard remarks that the stump vacated by Mr. Gladstone has been occupied by Mr. Bright. The master succeeds to the pupil—the oracle to its interpreter. The lisping tones of the neophyte in democracy are exchanged for the round and full utterances of the arch-demagogue himself. We hail with a kind of relief this change from the tinselled imitation to the rough reality. We would rather deal with the maker of Liberals than with the crude article of his manufacture. We prefer to know the stump in its true character. In Mr. Gladstone's hands it had descended into something between a hedge-parson's block and an auctioneer's platform. In Mr. Bright's it recovers its ancient and normal tone, as a place for the cursing of one's political enemies, rather than for the deli• verance of newly-discovered principles. The Times remarks that Mr. Bright assumes the exist ence of two great parties as individual as a human being. Giant Tory and Giant Whig have been fighting for forty years in Mr. Bright's story-book, and here they are with bold and vivid illustrations. But what is the fact ? There are no such individual existences. There are no such identities. This nation is not divided thus sharply into two classes, thus directly antagonistic. Mr. Bright, over and over again, has to force and strain the fact in order to shape it to his purpose and create two distinct antagonists. There are many parties, many classes, and many schools of opinion, many interests, many policies, many philosophies, in this country and it these isles. Compelled as they are by stress of circum stances and the necessity of coming to decisions to arrange themselves on sides, they continually exhibit cross divi sions. Conservative and Liberal are but a rough classill. cation, and, what is more, it changes its ingredients every year. There are Conservatives too old, interested, or hampered to like change of any kind, but there are Con. servatives as progressive as many Liberals. None knows better than Mr. Bright that if the Conservative party has to thank the Liberal for the progress they both make, the Liberal party is under equal obligations for the assistance it receives in maintaining a steady pace. The Herald considers the address of the committee fol securing Sir Roundell Palmer's election perfectly colour less. Ten years ago that lawyer seemed to be in advance of Mr. Gladstone ; his general tendencies are rather Radi. cal than otherwise, and he opposed Mr. Gladstone/ scheme rather as a lawyer than otherwise. He was silent at a time when a few emphatic words of his might have ensured the defeat of the entire scheme, and overwhelmed the enemies of the Churcl: with discomfiture and confusion. No doubt he acteo according to his conscience ; he is not a man who collie ever do otherwise. He thought that he should do more harm by throwing the Radical party into disorder thar good by defending the rights of property and the interest! of the Church. But the very fact of his having so thougbl should prevent any Churchman or Conservative from sup porting him. A man who thinks the success of Liberalism more important than the safety of the Church and the maintenance of the rights of property is thereby corn. pletely disqualified for the representation of the Universit• of Oxford.
