CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S EXPEDITION 2'o THE EDITOR OF THE SUY. received a letter from a friend of mine, who is an officer in Captain Austin's expedi tion, I send you herewith a copy of the same, end should you be pleased to insert it in your paper you are perfectly at liberty to do so. I am, Sir, yours very obediently, Falmouth, Sept. 13 , 1851 . J. 0. " 11.M.5.-, Griffith's Island, Barrow's Straits, let. 74 deg. 36 N., long. 95 deg. 15 W., July 4, 1851. "My dear -: A mere po:sibility of this ever reaching you has induced me to put a few lines on paper, that should you ever get it, you might at once be satisfied of my health and comfort, as also, I am, happy to say, of the whole of the expedition, which are now present with us, having spent our winter to gether. "I shall merely put two or three heads of the work together, that you may see our chances. "Last year we only succeeded in getting as far as this place, and being suddenly frozen in we were all compelled to winter together. We have been here since 16th September, 1850. Previous to that, how ever, we succeeded in finding the winter quarters of poor Franklin and his ships at Beechy Island, in the mouth of the Wellington Channel. To this moment, however, all further traces have ceased, leaving the affair in even worse mystery than before. They were all right in May, 1846, by evidence at Beechy Island. "Captain Penny's (the merchant expedition under the Admiralty) are about sixteen miles to the east ward of ue, and Sir James Ross's schooner is in company with them, where they have been for the winter. " The most extensive scale of travelling in search of the poor fellows has been put in practice this spring that has ever been by Europeans, on their own resources only. The last party under cur first lieutenant has this day arrived, having been out eighty-one days, and been round the west end of Melville Island, a distance, there and back, of nearly 800 miles round ; 400 miles of coast has been done to the southward, on which side I have been myself. All the sledges were alike in provi sions, &c., with six or seven men and an officer each, and 40 days' provisions ; I was out with mine 31 days. Both sides of Barrow's Straits have therefore been searched on foot, and Captain Penny has done the same with Wellington Channel for 200 miles on the west side nearly, and 130 or 140 on the east, still nothing has been found whatever. I suppose there is no alternative but to return now ; if so, I shall see you almost as soon as you get this, if not before, as the season seems pretty fair for getting out ; hut still it is very possible that the Com modore will keep us out another y ear; however, of course we are in the dark as to that yet, he most pro bably not knowing himself. This note 'will be sent to Pond's Bay to see if we can meet whalers, who will take it home. Oar winter of six months slipped by us as if it was six weeks, and all were right ccmfortable. Spring has kept us fully e m p lo y ed travelling, &c., and the summer is now on us, and a few weeks must settle whether we go home or not ; there is, I believe, not one in the squadron who longs not for that home +his year, still„ there is none among them would sooner stop out than myself, did our Commodore think anything more could be done, but I must say I am afiaid there is not o:.e who has the slightest hope of our rescuing our poor countrymen, who must, poor fellows, have perished long ere this. There has been scarcely a casualty among our tra vellers, and not one during the time we have been out otherwise, thus having kept in extraordinary health, and I may add comfort. I remain yours, &e., LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY.

Mr. West died on Wednesday last, in the 59th year of his age. For his scientific attainments he was a few years ago elected a fellow of the Royal Society, an honour of which ho was not a little proud. He was a man of varied attainments, and as an intelligent member of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society, the West Riding Geological and Polytechnic Society, and other kindred institutions, he will be much missed. He was a member of the Society of Friends, and of rather eccentric habits.--Leeds Intelligencer. BATTY'S Huropaoms.-0,1 Wednesday last, the boys of the Naval Asylum wer e afforded a rich treat, by the kindness of Mr. Batty in allowing them gratuitous admission to his new place of amusement, at Kensington ; and in order to prevent any obstacle being raised to their attendance, he generously and regardless of expense, made it a day fete, ex pressly for them_ This is not the first or second time this kind-hearted gentleman has shown his regard for the boys from which both. the naval and military portion of our &- I fenders are to be recruited (the Chelsea boys having also experienced his liberality), but, independent of these circum stances, the Hippodrome is decidedly one of the best and most rational places of amusement in London, and no coun tryman can say he has seen its lions, if he does not pay a visit. As the building was opened on the same day as the Exhibition, it is the intention of the proprietor to close it at the same time ; and as that period is uow drawing to a close ; and, like its neighbour, its future existence is a matter of speculation, we would advise all who have not done so to pay a visit; those who have, we are certain, are sure to re peat it on every occasion they have time to spare.—Kentish -Mercury. THE POTATO DISEASE.—BRISTOL, SATURDAY. — Accounts received this week from the surrounding district represent, we regret to say, that the potato crop, which would otherwise have been, like the cereal crops generally, most abundant, has been much infected by the potato disease. In the potatoes even already dug many that before appeared quite sound have gone quite rotten in 48 hours. Complaints are general about Thornburg and other dis tricts of Gloucestershire. Since Friday last the disease has made its appearance at Weston-super-Mare, Worle, Ax bridge, Cheddar, Berrow, and, indeed, almost every pariah in that part of Somersetshire. Earl Grey tirrived in town on Friday, from Lord Minto's seat at Hawick, and will remain until he proceeds to Scotland to attend upon her Majesty on her return from the north. His Lordship was at the Colonial-office on Saturday up to a late hour in the evening. THE ROYAL FAMILY AT OSBOIVNE.—ThP three junior members of the Royal Family that now reside at Os borne—namely, the Princess Helena, the Plincess Louis;?, and Prince Arthur, attended by Lady Caroline Barrington and Colonel Berkeley Drummond, have taken advantage of the very fine weather to make excursions in tc, Solent on hoard the Royal yacht tender the Fairy, Master-h Commander Welch, under the guidance of Captain Crispin. Oa Satur day, the Fairy proceeded with the Royal children on board along the shore of the Isle of Wig - lit, as tar as the Nab light vessel. After re-landing the Royal pa rt y at Osborne the Fairy returned into Portsmouth Harbour. HER MAJESTY'S PRIVATE BAN D• Our readers will feel much pleasure in hearing that her MPjesty ha: chosen Mr. Joseph Richardson as pi:incipal flute in her pre vate band. This appointment may be hailed as a good one, and as au assurance that real talent in an Englishman is appreciated, and the more especially when it is known that there are numbers of foreigners of high standing as artistes who were most anxious to secure the situation for them selves. It. is undersTood that at one of the concerts given some short time since by her Majesty Mr. Richardson's performances on the flute obtained far him the marked ap plause of the Queen and Prince Albert, and it is not un likely that the appointment may have arisen from that cir cumstance. ARRIVAL OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. GRANT, THE DESIGNATED ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OP SOUTHWARK. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the doors of the St. George's Roman Catholic Cathedral, Southwark, were lite. rally beseiged by persons ansious to witness the relic ot the true cross, which was carried in grand procession for the veneration of the faithful, being the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, the precious relic being entrusted to the Rev. Dr. Doyle, who performed high mass, assisted by the Rev. Fathers Cotter and Bag.shaw, attended by fifty of the choir, when the sermon was preached by the designated Roman Catholic Bishop of Southwark, the Right Rev. Dr. Grant, who performed mass at halt-past eight o'clock in the morn ing, he having arrived from Rome late on Satur d ay evening, an d taken up his residence for the present t . George's Roman Catholic Cathedral, where the friends and admirers of the Right Rev. Dr. Grant will have the opportunity of hear ing him on Sunday mornin g next, at the same place. A car ing of priests called in the course of the dav on the right re v. g entleman, and it is expected that a synoll will be held in the course of a few days. Hew long will such processions as these of the relics of the true cross be wi se d'? Can such things be, and pass without our wonder ?_Adze . ROYAL AETILLERY• --WoOLWICH, SEPT. 13.- 1 corporal and 10 gunners embarked in the Resistance store ship, at Deptford , y esterda y , for a passage to Gibraltar.

NO. CXXV. SCRAPS FROU DONCASTER, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—As far as it was possible to ascertain at nine o'clock this morning, the following are the starters for to-morrow's races:—Great Yorkshire Handicap—Cos sack, Vatican (d), Alonzo, Candlewick, Miss Ann, Post Tan:pore, Panope, Oxford Blue, Chief Justice , The Sweep, Young Altisidora, Clarissa,Castle, The Calcu lator, Knock Knoll (d), Antigone, Miss Julia Bennett colt, Truo Blue (d), and Miss Whip colt. Champagne Stakes—Augur, Bay Rosalind, Blackt:tene, Caracara, Claverhouse (d), Wryneck colt, Daniel O'Rourke, Home-brewed, lievry Monarch filly, Prince Patrick, and, perhaps, Vortex. Stand Plate—Maid of Team Valley (ti), Brennus, Tom Holtby, Hun gerford, Miss Fanny, and Lady of the Grove. Oxford Blue and Melody at the present writing very dubious. A great many horses have arrived at the scene of action, including Day's, Kent's, Parr's, Wad low's, Stebbing's, Walter's, Scott's and Lumley's lots; Sir Joseph Hawley's, consisting of The Ban, Aphrodite, Tho Confessor (d), Vatican (d), Teddington, and an other or two, are hourly expected. The latest amounts respecting the St. Leger report the following as the probable starters, viz.:—Lough Bawn, Clasher, Crzeus, Bippolytus, Exeter, Tho Ban, Aphrodite, Hernandez, First Fruits, Newminster, The Calculator, Lamar tine, colt by Charles the Twelfth, Miserrima, Knook Knoll, Ephesus, and Goliab. Heart-breaker and Azeth are doubtful. Bonnie Dundee, The Prime Minister, Balsamo, Hothorpe, Grecian, Con fidence, Mountain Deer, Storm, Sir Rowland Trenchard, with about ninety others of no account, are on the miss • ing list. My opinion on to-morrow's races remains un altered; CALCULATOR and Cossack, first and second for the Great Yorkshire Handicap; Bay Rosalind and Home•brewed in the first two places, with Augur, Prince, Patrick, and Vortex close up, for the Champagne Stakes; and in the absence of Oxford Blue, Little Fawn or Brennus, to carry off the Stand Plate. The St. Leger, as I have before remarked, lies between three—Sir Jo seph's couple and Hernandez; The Ban, from the amount of money going " on," seemingly THE horse. My final remarks on this race to-morrow, when I hope the fickle goddess will favour me with my usual success. The betting market this morning is uncom monly brisk ; the investments numerous and heavy, at the following prices:—Great Yorkshire Handicap-7 to 2 agst the Calculator; 5 to 1 agst Cossack; 7 to 1 sgst Clarissa, taken freely; 8 to 1 agst Miss Ann; 10 to 1 each egst Antigone and Candlewick; 15 to 1 agst Miss Julia Bennett colt.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Mr. Lumley is conducting his great establishment in a spirit worthy of the Exhibition year. Another four nights, at play-house prices, are announced, the management having come to this resolution for the very good reason that the house was last week crowded to the ceiling, every place in fact on every day of performance having been taken prior to the opening of the house, and seats, in consequence of the demand, having risen to, in many instances, not in considerable premiums. The in fe re nce is that thou sands of country and continental visitors must have been gratified by a spectacle which they could not other wise have beheld, and which certainly forms one of the things which, es the guide-books say, all visi tors positively must see. We noticed last week the tact and enterprise with which each evening's amusement was arranged, so as to give the audience a taste at least of as many musical and choreographic dishes as possible, the bill of fare nightly varying, but always agreeing in assembling as many differently characterised and coloured v.orks, interpreted by as many artists of differing styles and specialties, as pos sible. During this week, as in the last, Mesdames Sontag, Barbieri Nini, and Cruvelli will nightly ap pear—a trio seldom to be seen on one occasion, and under the same artistic roof. The management, in fact, are quite cramming a season into their few sup plemental nights, and we are glad to hear that the monetary results of the experiment are as gratifying as the providing of so much intellectual amusement at so cheap a rate ought to make them. THE BLOOMERS AGAIN. YesterLy (Sunday) considerable sensation and amuse ment was occasioned to the numerous visitors in St. James's-park, by tho arrival of a complete bitch of 113cotner5, consisting of five females and two males, evi dently moving iu the upper class of society. Two of the ladies were French women. They were certainly most el,gantiy attired, all the ladies being dressed wore , w i th the the exception of the French women, who trousers, whilst those of our own country women were pink. The upper dresses (coats we suppose they call them) were of rich brocade satin, and the covering for the head a sort of cross between a bonnet and hat, as it did not partake more of one article than the other. The only difference observable in the gentlemen's attire was very short coats, somewhat resembling Prince Al bert's shell jacket. The new style of dress did not ap pear to be agreeable to the mob, for the Bloomers had scarce made their appearance before they were assailed with en unlimited quantity of coarse jokes from the by standers, who, after inquiring whether their mothers knew they were out? Where they kept their flannel petticoats ? and other similar salutations, caused the Bloomers to beat a hasty retreat into Waterloo-place, where the ladies entered a carriage that was waiting for them, and the gents walked off. The ladies were between 20 and 30 years of age, and of very prepossessing ap pearance. It was stated they had come to the park to hear the band play. FOREIGN YACIIVL—There are at present yachts belonging to no less than three f,reign nations lying in Portsmouth harbour, with their respective national colours flying. A French cutter yacht of 60 tons, belonging to the Duo 6e Caylus ; a Neapolitan schooner yacht of 220 tons; and a Russian schooner yacht of 1 0 tons. AN AGED AND HAPPY COUPLE.—John Bodle, aged 86, and Jane, his wife, aged 96, are now living on Sydtnham Common, Kent. He possesses a donkey that as sists in aff,rdi.tg him an ample maintenance, aged 26, and all three were ban on the Common. Their united ages are 208 years. and the old man, free from want or the prospect of ending his days in a poor-law union, walked on Saturday to the Greenwich Police-court to prove the service of a legal • notice.

MONDAY EVENING-, AiNIERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING. By the Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Harrison commander, we have received advices and letters from New York to the 2d inst., Boston to the 31, and tele graphic accounts from New York, via Halifax, to the evening of the 4th inst. She has 230,000 dollars in specie. on freight. The Canada sailed from Boston at 12.45 P.M. on the 3.1 inst., passed the Royal Sail steamship America for Boston (with tho mails of the 23d ult.) at 3 A.M. on the 4th, and at 240 A.M. on the sth arrived at Halifax. After receiving the mails she cleared from Halifax at 4.20 A.M. on the sth, and at 7.30 P.M. of same day exchanged night signals with a large steamer bound west (probably the United States' steamer Franklin, from Havre); on the 10th, at 9 A.M., passed the Royal Mail steam-ship Europa, with the mails of the 6th inst. for Boston; at 11.45 P.M. on the 12th passed Tory Island Light; and cast anchor in a dense fog off the Rock Light at 10.27 P.M. on Saturday, after a detention of 2 hours and 50 minutes at the bar, waiting for water. She has thus made the run (merely deducting the detention, but without making allowance for the detour) in the brief space of 10 days and 32 minutes, mean time. The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, West, commander, with mails of the 20th ult., arrived at New York at 5.30 A.M. on the Ist inst., after a run of 11 days 19 hours and 15 minutes, mean time. The screw steam-ship City of Glasgow, Leitch, commander, which sailed from Liverpool on the 13th ult., arrived at Philadelphia on the 30th ult., after a run of about 17 days. Great excitement still prevailed throughout the large cities of the United States in reference to the Cuban invasion. Meetings have been daily held, and resolutions adopted, denouncing the proceedings of the Spaniards. Several of the New Orleans rioters had been arrested and committed to prison. The New Orleans Picayune states that the Cuban Libera tors have given the direction of affairs to General Felix Houston, who takes care not to violate the law of the country. It is asserted that another and very formidable ex pedition is fitting out from various points, and that another descent will shortly be made. Another state ment, published in the Washington Telegraph, says that arrangements are in progress to land 5,000 men shortly under distinguished leaders. It also says it could give details if politic to do so. Several Hunga rians have left Montgomery, Alabama, for the purpose of joining Lopez. Letters received in New Orleans from the Cuban invaders who were taken prisoners, written a short time previous to their execution, are unanimous in stating that Lopez had deceived them. The following passage is from one of the letters : " Lopez, the scoundrel, has deceived us; there is no doubt that all the reports about the Cuban rising were trumped up in New Orleans." From Havannah we have received advices to the 23d ult., five days latter than those last received.. The account of the capture of Lopez and his followers is not confirmed ; but, on the contrary, it is asserted that he has been successful in all his engagements. We extract the following from the New Fork Herald under date— " SAVANNAH, SEPT. 1. " The schooner Merchant arrived here to-day, having left Havannah on the 23d of August. " We learn that General Lopez has been successful in every engagement he has had with the Spanish troops. " In a battle on the 17th, General Enna, Com mander-in-Chief of the Spanish army, was killed. " Several other Spanish officers, and a large num ber of men, were also slain. " The force of General Lopez amounted to from 1,500 to 2,000 men. " Lopez was daily receiving reinforcements, and was marching toward Havannah. " General Enna was buried with much pomp in Havannah, on the 20:11. There was great excitement and much apprehen sion in Havannah, there being only 700 troops in the city." Accounts published in the New Orleans Picayune, in reference to the capture of Colonel Crittenden's party, state that— " Colonel Crittenden and 114 men were left at Bahia Honda by Lopez, in charge of the baggage, while Lopez himself advanced to Las Pozas. On the next day 700 Spaniards landed from the Pizarro and cut off Crittenden from his companions. Colonel ICrittenden made one attempt to join his comrades, but was repulsed. The Spaniards afterwards made a charge and completely routed Crittenden's little party, who spent two days and nights in the chap parell without any sustenance. Fifty of them after wards made their way to the seashore, where they found some boats, in which they embarked. They spent the night on the ocean, and the next day they were taken prisoners by the Habanero, as detailed in previous reports. There are still sixty-four of this party missing. Forty of them are known to have been shot in a small farmhouse, and a Spanish Lieu tenant reports that on the 14th he came upon twenty of them, guarding an equal number of their wounded comrades, all of whom were massacred. It was re ported—also on Spanish authority—that the remain ing twenty-four were afterwards slaughtered. The other party under Lopez, it seems, received the attack of the Spaniards in a farmhouse at Las Pozas, and beat them off with severe loss ; at least, so it is to be supposed, since the Spanish official reports state that they desisted from the assault in order to receive reinforcements. Whether any subsequent fighting took place at this point we do not know ; at all events, Lopez held his own for two days—till, on the 15th, he left for the interior, and was not mo lested on his march by General Enna; all of which we learn froth the Spanish accounts. This was the state of affairs on the 15th, the date of our last ad vices from the scene of action, through General Enna's dispatch dated 3.30 on that day. If General Lopez reached the mountains in safety be will dis cover soon whether he has relied with too much con fidence on the assistance of the native inhabitants." More recent telegraphic advices from New Or leans contain the following intelligence from Cuba : " NEW ORLEANS, SErr. 1. "The brig Cincinnati has just arrived with advices from Ilavannala to the 25th of August. " Spanish accounts state that - Lopez was sur rounded by 4,000 of the Government forces. Other rumours aro that he is joined by large numbers, and hes advanced to Mariel, only 30 miles from Ha vannah. "SEPT, 2. "The steamer Cincinnati has arrived from Haven. nah with dates to the 25th ult. The accounts vi Havannah are confirmed, including the death of General Enna, with considerable loss to the Spanish troops, and the advance of Lopez towards Havannah. " The Cincinnati passed the Spanish war steamer Pizarro at sea." From Canada we have nothing of importance. The Canadian Parliament closed its session on the 30th ult. A man named Graham was robbed and murdered near Saratoga, on Saturday, for the sake of about 100 dollars in money. Mr. Naar, son of Judge Naar, was drowned at Elizabeth Town on Saturday. The Belize Watchman, just received from New Orleans, says that— " A Spaniard named Pedro Vargas was brought into the town by four other Spaniards, on the night of Friday, the 13th inst., heavily chained, and lodged in the police.station, charged with the murder of two Spaniards, named Jose Fermin Sosa and Tornasa Torres, at Rowley's Bight, on the morning of the previous Wednesday, under circumstances of the greatest atrocity. It is alleged that at about the dawn of morning of that day the prisoner went into the house where Sosa and Torres resided with the daughter of the woman, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years of age, lind deliberately chopped first the man and then the woman, who were asleep in different hammocks, with a hatchet, in several places. The girl, who hod awoke whilst the prisoner was engaged in the work of butchery, escaped out of the house, and ran down to the watar side, where she got into a dorey, and paddled to the house of a neighbour, not far off, to whom she told what had happened, who hastened with assistance to the mutilated victims. The vil lain from whom she had escaped came to the water's edge after she had put off, and shouted to her to return and get her share. It is supposed that he then made off. The motive of the deed is supposed to have been either revenge on the man and woman who had refused to give him the girl to cohabit with, or a determination to possess himself forcibly of the person of the last. The prisoner was apprehended on the day of the deed in Northern River Pine Ridge." The Florence (Alabama) Gazette has the fol lowing:— "Oa last Saturday, near Waterloo, in this county, a most daring and cold-blooded murder was committed upon the person of David N. Martin, Esq., one of our most respectable citizens, and for the last fifteen years a devoted pious member of the Methodist Church. Between one and two o'clock in the afternoon he was engaged in the sowing of turnip seed, within fifty yards of his own door, and two of his sons ploughing near him, when he was shot by some person sup posed to have been concealed behind a large stump. The hall entered below the right shoulder-blade, and came oat under the right nipple. The deceased lin gered in great pain till Monday evening, and died at two o'clock. " Suspicion fell immediately upon Robert R. Cha ney. lie was arrested, and implicated by his state ments a negro man belonging to his father-in-law, John Price. His brother, David B. Chaney, and the negro were likewise arrested, and after a long and te- dious examination before four magistrates, the boy was committed for the murder, and the Chaneys as acces sories before the fact, all without bail." We have advices from Hayti to the 16th ult., at which time e‘er. thing was quiet. An express had arrived at Port au Prince on the 15th ult., stating that the Emperor had returned to Hayti from his tour, having crossed the Dominican frontier without being molested ; and it was reported that the difficulty between the Dominican and Haytian Governments had been amicably settled. Coffee was scarce, and logwood had advanced to 40 dolls, per hundred. Accounts from St. Thomas to the 21st ult. are de void of interest. Our advices from the city of Mexico extend to the 16th ult. The Legislature was to assemble on the 20th. The Senate had declared in favour of a general confederation, similar to the Spanish South American States. A disturbance took place at Vera Cruz on the 21st, when the citizens rose to oppose the collection of taxes by the Government. The military were called out, and several persons were killed and wounded before the disturbance was quelled. The two vessels which recently sailed from New Orleans, under protest, for Tehuantepec, have been seized by the Mexican authorities at Coatzacoalcos. Great dis tress is prevailing in Nortitern Mexico. The crops have failed, and the stock is perishing for want of water and pasture. The Indians are ravaging the country. The Brownsville (Texas) papers say that the Mexican Government are prosecuting several senators, and that some have been fined and others imprisoned. Texas accounts of the 27th ult. state that the Indians have perpetrated more depredations and com mitted several murders. They had also broken into and robbed the point Isabel Custom-house of 10,000 dollars. (Via Telegraph from New York to Halifax.) NEW YORK, SEPT. 4, r M. Semi-official accounts received from Washington state that the Government possess information that on the 25th of August Lopez had been able to main tain himself, and with a very reduced force ; not one Creole had joined him • his prospects were desperate. It is a personal struggle for his own and the lives of his few remaining followers. No reinforcements have gone from New Orleans, and the Government is successfully exerting itself to prevent any. The Collector of Customs at New Orleans has been re moved from office for alleged indifference in Cuban matters. California accounts to the Ist of August arrived here today. Mining statements continue favourable; business is reported better. The steamer Oregon, from San Francisco to Panama, has upwards of 2,000,000 dolls. in dust on board. Stock market to-day very dull. Steamer Ame rica's news was received here yesterday; its effect has been to advance cotton about a quarter of a cent. In flour and grain no change of consequence. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW I . OIi3K,SEpT. 2.—A slight change for the better is reported in monetary affairs at New York. Since the sailing of the Baltic money had become somewhat easier, and a gradual improvement in business was looked for. The stock market was more active, and prices quite buoyant. Breadstuffs—The market for breadstuffs was quiet, and prices were without change. Cotton—ln cotton there has b3en a fair amount of business doing at New York, and former quotations were steadily maintained. The following were the rates on the day of the departure of the mail:—New Orleans and Mobile, Enid, fair to fair, 10e. to lOic.; Uplands, ditto, 9ic. to 103.

NEW YORK, SEPT. 2.—There is no further news from Cuba, except such as comes from Savannah and New Orleans by telegraph. These accounts are so essentially contradictory that while some of them proclaim startling successes on the side of the marauding party, others declare posi tively that a second batch of prisoners, consisting of 205, had been captured and soon after shot. These discrepancies are so great, and the motives for exaggeration or absolute falsehood so strong, that until the arrival of a regular mail such statements will be Classified, like many other manufactured stories, under the head of " important if true."

The President returned to Washington on the 29th ult. The money-market continues to become easier, and from th© agricultural districts generally the accounts are anything but disastrous. The very salutary check of importation consequent upon scarcity of rnonep, high rates of exchange, and continued losses is already perceptible, and tends of course to reduce the Customs' revenue, which has been less during the past month than it was fir the same period in 1850. The exact figures are not yet published.—Morning Paper. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Commodore Michael Seymour, the new superinten dent, arrived at Moorhead s Royal Hotel Devonport, from Sheerness, by the mail train, on Friday morning, and was immediately waited upon by the principal officers of the dockyard. The Gallant Commodore visited the port admiral, and from thence proceeded in his barge to the St. George, 120, when his red pen dant was hoisted on board that ship, and the usual salutes fired by the St. George and the Impregneble. lie then returned to the dockyard and entered on his official duties. The secretary to Captain Seymour at Sheerness was a clerk of the dockyard, and his appointment entailed no additional expense on the establishment, but at Devonport it is understood that Mr. Dyer, a paymaster and pureer of the navy, late secretary to Lord John Hay, is to fill the office of secretary to the new superintendent, thus usurping the legitimate position of a clerk of the establishment, and adding some 4001. a year extra to the navy estimates. This appointment is neither fair nor economical, nor is it an advantageous one to the public service. In the course of.a few days we may have something more to advance. Tun NAVAL AIDES-DE•C MP.—ln giving Sir G. Pechell, Bart., the appointment of A.D.C. to the Queen, the senior captains, Sir E. Parry, W. J. Min gaye, J. E. Walcott, and Lord Spencer, C. 8., have been passed over. Sir George Pechell has never served a single day since he was posted (1822), and altogether has only seen 15 years active service in the navy, whereas the gallant and distinguished Arctic voyager Sir E. Parry has been about 35 years on full pay service, and has served his time as a captain for his active flag rank. Copt. Mingaye has also served 24 years afloat, and is likewise eligible for his active flag. In conferring the other vacancies on Captains Wyvill and Hotham, a still greater injustice has been inflicted by passing over at least more than a dozen officers of long standing and superior claims. The lucky favourites are captains of 1832 and 1833; but in going so far down the list, the following are among the senior officers who have good reason to complain of neglect :—Ryder Burton, K.H. (1824) ; Hon. R. S. Dundas, C.B. (1824) ; Lord Hardwick (1825) ; G. R. Lambert (1825) ; Sir Henry Leeke, K.H. ; Freemantle Yates; G. B. Martin, C.B. ; Sir R. Grant, Purcell, Richards, C. 8., Duntzs, 11. Smith, C. 8., and many others whose standing and services we o not for the moment remember. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, NEW CROSS.—Rear-Ad miral Murray has liberally subscribed 101. in aid of the " Church Building Fund " of this institution. CAPTURE OF A SLAVER BY THE FLYING FISH.— The Flying Fish, 12, Commander G. E. Patey, was at WhySlan on the sth of August. She had been successful in capturing another slaver. The follow ing are the particulars from a private letter :—" Her Majesty's ship Flying Fish, July 14, 1851, at anchor off Little Popo Island, got hold of another slaver after a beautiful chase of two or three hours. On standing in for the land this morning, about eleven o'clock, we observed our friend stealing along shore es close as possible, evidently trying to shy us. Hands make sail' was soon piped, when the reefs were out and starboard studding-sails set in double•quick time. On oar approaching him we fired a blank gun to make him show his colours, of which he took no notice. We then waited until we got within good gun shot, and sent a 32 pounder acrows his bows, but this not producing the desired effect, a gunner's crew kept hammering directly at him, and it was de lightful to see the good practice they made—two shots through his foretopgallant sail, another shot his lower studdingsail boom away ; another through his mainrigging, across the quarter-deck, and shot his mainboom through. The fellow then put his helm hard-a-starboard, and it was thought he was going to beach her, but supposed the surf was too high for him, as he again righted his helm, let run all his studding sail halyards, and after a few shots from the marines he came towards us. She is a pretty brig, named the Pepeta, and was going to take in 500 slaves, but we disturbed him in the middle of it ; for ha had only time to take 70 on board, when he saw us in the offing, upon which he cut his cables, and run down along the land, thinking we should not take notice of him. We only returned from Princes' Island the day before, and relieved the Sampson at Quite, which vessel we saw this morning to leeward of us, running to Why dab, and bad not been long out of sight when we pin ned our friend, otherwise she would share with us." The slaver was sent to Sierra Leone the same evening, at which place she has arrived, for condemnation. This is the 10th prize captured by the Flying Fish since she has been on the station ; and the efficiency and discipline maintained on board this fortunate ves sel is highly spoken of. Commander Patey had re ceived orders to meet Commodore Bruce about the 22d October, and, having taken the mail on board, would sail for England, andmay be exyected to arrive before Christmas. Rear-Admiral W. W. Henderson, C. 8., the new Commander-in-Chief for the Brazils, in his flag-ship Centaur steam-frigate, Captain St. Leger Cannon, sailed from Spithead on Saturday at ono o'clock, pro ceeding out through the Needles on his passage for Rio, to relieve Rear-Admiral Reynolds, C.B. We understand Mrs. Henderson and Miss Henderson ac company the Admiral out to Rio. Lieutenant Richard Moore, mate of 1849, and pro moted to be acting lieutenant of the Gorgon, steam sloop, in the Pacific, July 5, 1850, has been con firmed in his rink, having arrived home and passed the usual examination.

The report was adopted. THE CHEAP EXCURSION TRAINS..---A very im portant trial is likely to come on in the Court of Exchequer dining the next term, unless the Board of Inland Revenue should think proper to abandon a claim which they are at the present time endeavouring to enforce against several of the leading railway companies who have been running cheap excursion trains. Most of our readers are doubtless aware thot the railway companies pay a large sum annually to the Board of Inland Revenue for passenger duty. In the Act of Parliament which passed in 1845, compelling :railways to carry passengers in third class covered carriages, certain ex ceptions were made, which were stated in the Act" to secure to the poorer classes of travellers a means of travelling at moderate fares, at or under one penny per mile." These were exempt from the Government tax. When the compa nies began to run excursion trains they looked upon this particular description of traffic as coming within the meaning of the Act, and did not include their excursion passengers in their return to Government, as it did not amount even to d. per The Board of Inland Revenue, however, de n un the whole amount of duty that would be payable on ordinary trains. The first company to which application was made was the London and South-Western. Mr. Chaplin, the chairman, immediately put himself in communica tion with other railway companies who have been running cheap trains, and the result is, that they have agreed to fight the bnttle with the Board of Inland Revenue, unless they forego their demand— Sunda) Paper.

THE GATHERING OF TEE HIGHLAND CLANS. _ _ BresEman, FIUDAY.—The gathering of the clans in olden times was "a great fact" in the national history of Scotland. From the time the Earl of Mar raked the standard of rebellion in 1715, almost within gunshot of where Victoria now has her Highland home, down to the fatal battle of Culloden, the Highland clans were mustered in strong force when the signal was passed through the glens. Now a-days we have a " gathering" once a year in the " country of Marl.," but the signal to rally is the olive branch, and the clansmen muster to show off their Highland dress, and disport themselves in harmless highland games. The gathering of 1851 was a grand affeir. At early dawn crowds of pedestrians were to be seen wending their way to Castleton, most of them wear ing the Highland dress. By nine o'clock all sorts of conveyances, from the ricketty cart to the splendid barouche were arriving in the village, and groups of the people were congregated at different points, some dancing to the music of the bagpipe, and some trying their hands at the caber or the stone. About noon the Duff Highlanders passed through the village, splendidly dressed in their clan tartans, and handsomely accoutered for the sports of the day. They were followed by the Duke of Leeds' retainers, a fine body of men, beaded by their Duke as their chief, in splendid costume. Then came the men of Athol], the Queen's body guard in Scotland, led on by the Duke of Atholl, and marching with music and banners. The clan Farquharson mustered strongly and in their elegant tartans were greatly admired. They were headed by their chief, Mr. Farquharson, of Invercauld. The place chosen for the games was a spacious lawn in the park, in front of the old castle of Marr— once the hunting lodge of Malcolm Canmore. Here the clans formed into three sides of a square, each clan having its standard bearer in position and its piper ready for the dance. The rear of the clans was flanked by the carriages of the aristocracy who are now in the district, and multitudes of the people Nile had gathered to witness the games. At one o'clock the terrace of the castle presented a brilliant display of beauty and fashion, among whom were the following : From Balmoral—Colonel Phipps, the Hon. Alex ander Gordon, the Hon. Miss Byng, Dr. Baker, and Dr. Robert2on. _ _ From Abergeldie—Captain Cuuper, Lady Augusta Bruce, and Lady Frances Bruce. From Invercauld—Mr. and Mrs. Farquharson and family, their sons eleßantly dressed in the Highland garb ' • Lord and Lady Charles Clinton ; the Hon. Miss Murray, Miss Grant of Congleton, and Miss Dalrymple of Logie Elphinstone. From Marr Lodge—The Duke and Duchess of Leeds, the Duke and Duchess of Athol ], the Misses Lane Fox, the Hon. Mr. Osborne, Captain and Airs. Sutton, the Rev. Mr. Hudson, Colonel Hudson, and Colonel Foster. From Corriemulzie—Lady Agnes Duff and the Misses Dun' and Master Duff, Sir James and Lady Catherine C a rneg i e , Sir Maxwell and Lady Wal lace, Mr. Brooke, M r. W. Taller, Mr. JOllll Blaikie, Sze. The Queen and Prince Albert sent a donation of 5/. towards the prizes for the games, but, the Court being in mourning, did not honour the gathering with a visit. The Messrs. Duff, M.P., and Mr. Ricardo, M.P., who are at Corriemulzie, and other members of the Duff family, were absent out of respect for the memory of General Duff, who had always taken ... a lively interest in the mustering of the clans. The games began about two o'clock, and for two hours the Highlanders distinguished themselves by strength of arm and agility of limb. A stone of 14lb. weight was bowled as many yards with ease; a ham mer of 10). weight was thrown 69 feet 11 inches ; a pole or tree, 15 feet high by 6 inches in diameter, called the " caber," Wai poised with little effort and tossed right end over end ; reels, Strathspeys, the sword and other dances, were danced es none but the Hiclhlanders here can dance them, and a foot race of 1,400 yards was contested by a dozen of Gillies. the winner going over the ground in 51 minutes. For the foot race was upon a steep bill, but the Queen having, with her usual consideration, suggested that this was rather a dangerous game, the stewards abandoned it for a race in the park, w bich was a most exciting scene. `The games being nearly over, a large party had lun cheon in the Castle, which was tastefully drcked with evergreens, monograms of the Queen and Prince Al bert being interwoven with festoons of heather, bell, the thistle, and the rose. Here also a ball was held at night, where the peer and the peasant mingled in joyous harmony ; and thus concluded the gathering of the clans in the " country of Marr " for the year 1851. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, FRIDAY. Her I►lsjesty and his RoyaliHighness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Princess Royal and Princess Alice, drove yesterday to Ballater. The Marchioness of Douro was in attendance on her Majesty. There was no addition to the Royal dinner party yesterday. SATURDAY. Her Majesty, attended by the Hon. Miss Byng, rode yesterday morning over to Alt na Giuthsacb, where her Majesty will remain till this evening. His Royal Highness Prince Albert went out deer stalking, and joined her Majesty in the evening at Alt na Giuthsach. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. On Saturday the receipts at the doors of the build ing amounted to 1,4411. 155., there being 16,273 visitors. By the sale of season tickets 21. 103. was realized. Another scheme has, we understand, been proposed for the appropriation of the surplus. Its projector (Mr. Wallis) suggests that the Crystal Palace should be retained, and converted to a variety of uses. The main avenue and transept, with the adjoining spaces, should, according to his recommendation, be made into a winter garden. The north side he advises should be set apart as a college and museum of manufactures, and the south as a national gallery. In a pamphlet which has been issued for private circulation he inge niously advocates this plan, which certainly hss the advantage of embracing all the others seriously con templated. Whether, however, so extended an un dertaking is practicable or desirable under the cir cumstances, must be left to public opinion to deter mine. Mr. Wallis advocates a closing ceremonial on the 15th of October, similar in its character to that which took place at the opening. A public thanks giving should, in his judgment, be offered up, and the Exhibition should be closed by her Majesty in person. ROTHERHAM. FIRE AND LOSS OF TWO LIVES. (PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The inhabitants of the quiet town of Rotherham, were this (Sunday) morning aroused between three and four o'clock by the alarm of fire, and the ringing of the fire-hell of the parish church. It was soon as certained that the Black Horse Inn, in High-street, the property of the Earl of Effingham, occupied by Mrs. Nicholson, was in names, and h:,;cl it not been for the active and persevering exertions of the firemen belonging to the engine of the Sun Fire-office, the North of England office, and the engine of the fecffees of Rotherham ' there is no doubt b u t much more pro peity would have fallen a sacrifice to the devouring element. Mrs. Nicholson, the landlady (and one of the oldest inhabitants of the town) was found almost in a state of nudity in the bar severely burnt ; she was immediately removed to the house of her daughter, who keeps the Elephant and Castle, in High-street, and notwithstanding the attention of several surgeons who were in immediate attendance she expired about five o'clock. One of the servants (with the grandson of Mrs. Ni c h o l son in her arms) jumped Out o f t h e chamber window into the street, and the little infoait received such a severe concussion of the brain th at h e shortly aftewards died. The servant was much, but not fatally hurt. It has not yet been ascert a i ned how the fire originated, nor is it known wheth er t h e pro perty or buildings era insured. Mr. B adgor, the coun ty coroner, has fixed to op en an i nquest to or row, and he will no doubt in qu i re not only in - t o the origin cf the fire, but int o a ll the circumst ances at tending this melancholy event. It s somewhat re markable that this i s th e fifth fire in Rotherham in a b very short srce o f time, but the old est i nha b itant does not the loss of life recollect any fi re i n that town occasioning SOUTH- VV ESTEEN, BRIGHTOLN, ," ----------n-L--- ""-------- JUNCTION.— It is stated that a for promoting the construction of " '9le is now AND MID-KENTss 0 P i he P a r t e lr at Croydon, and thence to Maidstone.
