NIVGAGEMENTS WITH THE PIRATES I IN THE CHINA RIVERS. We are enabled to lay before our readers the fol lowing most interesting and copious detail of the above naval engagements, which we have been com• pelled to omit for want of room ; it comprehends fully all the movements of the expedition : Th • e xpedition, consisting of the Columbine, Fury, and Phlegethon, started 9 I.st., on Monday, the Bth of October, 1549, a nd reached the island of St. John's at noon of the 9th, where we learned through the inter preter, xir. D. Be Caldwell, from a fishing boar, that the pirates had not been there for sixteen days, and that they were, most probably, at a place calld Poet-seen, further south. At five P.M. of the 9th, reached an anchorage under a n island named Mung, when Mr. Caldwell boarded le large trading junk coming from the westward, from which he learned that she had only been released from the pirates at fien-pak a few days before; that they had stripped the junk of everything, and even taken their wearing apparel—which by appearance was true, since not a thing could be seen but the boat's tackle; that the pirates had left Tien-pak and gone to Now-chow or Hoi-how (could not say which), but at either place we should probably find them. That the chief had 30 I.irge junks with him, and was the celebrated Shap-'ng-tsai, and that they were manned with from 80 to 90 men each. Both Captain Hay and Mr. Caldwell landed at Mamee, and had an interview with the maadarins,who told Captain Hay that Shap•'ng-tsai and his squadron had last been heard of at Hoi. how beyond'Now chow, and that another ehief,named Pa-tow had recently joined him,and that there was ne doubt we should find him at Hoi-how, advising our calling at Now-chow en route for more certain informa tion. Shap-'ng-tsai had visited Ma.mee four times this year, and the mandarins expressed themselves well pleased at the prospect of so formidable an enemy being destroyed. Made Now-chow on the 12th, and had an interview with the mandarins, who informed us that Shap-'ng-tsai had passed through 22 days before, with 60 junks large and small, and had intended, they felt pretty sure, to go to Gui chow, in the gulf of Tonquin, as he fancied he was pur sued by English vessels; that five months previously he had stripped the forts of Now-chow of all their guns, the forts being now without any. Saturday, the 13th, passed over the flats, having been towed by the Fury, and anchored in Hoi-how roads at about three sex. Captains Hay and Wilcox, with Messrs. Scott, Caldwell, and Soames, waited on Hwang, the man darin in command, who received the party with great cor diality, and informed them that he had very recent infor mation of the whereabouts of the pirate fleet, as a boat from the neighbourhood had come across the day bofore, from which he learnt that they had visited Pack-hey, and burnt several of the houses, killed at least a hundred people, men, women, and children, and had also carried off several women, and that he was certain, if we pursued them im mediately, we should catch them at a place called Chuck shan with thirty-one junks, and at the same time stated his desire to accompany the expedition, taking with him some junks to bring back the prisoners to Hoi-how. Capt. Hay expressing his thanks for this officer's civility, said it would afford him great pleasure to meet his wishes, and the Mandarin Hwang, a blue button, rank of major-general, requested the party to accompany him at once to the commander-in-chief's to explain matt ?rs, Etc. The party left the general's in chairs, and pro ceeded to the city of Chin-keang-foo, about six miles from Hoi-how. This is an exceedingly pretty coun try, and we were received with the utmost civility and attention. Not less than 1,000 people pressed on the mandarin's house, although it was getting desk, for a chance of seeing the Fanquis ; but the greatest good humour and order were maintained. His Excellency Ho, the commander-in-chief, after a very short delay, sent to the waiting-room to say he was ready to receive the party, cards having been pre viously sent in with the general's compliments. We found him dressed in the usual manda rin dress, and his button red; a young man cer tainly not more than forty, with a well-shaved forehead, and neat. moustache. We were received by his Excel lency with great kindness, and after the usual chin eaning were soon stowed away on chairs to the right and left. Our party were admitted by the grand en tranee, whilst iLvang entered by the side door, and joined us in the presence. Mr. Caldwell soon opened the subject, and the object of the visit of her Britannic Majesty's ships. His Ex cellency, in a very earnest manner, begged us to accept his own and his country's best thanks for the interest and determination taken in the destruction of the pirates, by whose atrocities the whole coast had been devastated, the trade stopped, public and private property rendered unsafe, and the sanctity of private life violated by the desecration of their homes and the violation and abduc tion of their women; at the same time stating that he felt much regret at his not knowing of our in tended visit, as he should have liked to have given us a grand reception. His Excellency most warmlfsent red into the scheme for the destruction of the pirate fleet, and asked Captain Hay to allow the commandant of the land and sea forces, Hwang, to ac company us, which Captain Hay immediately assented to; his Excellency at the same time acquainting Hwang t 2 ee. he was to equip as quickly as possible some junks to proceed in company, and that he was at liberty to draw on tl2e . Treasury for any sum s o f money t h at m i g h t b e reculie:te. To complete the arrangements it was pro posed by the commander in-chief that we should visit another high mandarin, who, it appears, had something to do with facilitating the affair; so, utter a very plea sant visit and most polite conge, we proceeded to the re sidence of the Tou-tae in question, well escorted by a 'pod-tempered crowd, preceded by lanthorns cf all cuss and description , . We were received at all the re idences with music, trumpets, &c., and salutes of three guns from guards at the gat sways. The residence of the high manderin was a very neat one, with an artificial garden in front, which, as it was getting dark, was partially illumin•ated. Here the mandarin, surrounded by several others, was ready to receive us, which he did most court ously, when the same speeches were re peat aci, and we were requested to wait for breakfast next morning before d- parting for the pirates. Captain Hay said that " delays were dangerous," and as Hwang with great n- , al said he would have all his affairs settled, and be ready by noon of Sunday, Captain Hay, in answer to numerous invitations, said that his principle was, " that it was better to work first and have the fun afterwards," which, in other words, seems to be a maxim of their own; so they readily agreed to defer ci vilities until our return. We now took leave, escorted by Hwang, who accompanied us to the landing place, having first inquired of Mr. Caldwell if he would remain for the night at his house. This we declined, and, as the water was shallow in the harbour, he directed a boat with a lanthorn to show the charinel. On Sunday morning, the 14th, boats came off with roast pigs, fowls, ducks, kids, vegetables, and fresh beef, for each ship, as cum-sham: for the ships' companies, from the governor-general. At a little past noon Hwang embarked on board the Fury for better accommodation, attended by his military secre ary and aide-de-camp, after issuing his final direc tions to the eight junks to form his squadron and accom pany the expedition. At about two P.M„ under a salute from the batt , ries, we stood across Hainan Straits in the direction of Pack-boy, at the head of the gulf of Ton quir, where Hwan:: said we should find eight tow beat s belonging to Shap-'ng-tsai's squadron, pulling about eigley oars each, which he thought we had better destroy first en route. It appears that they were left at this place to bring off the plunder sifter their recent attack thereon. Hwang is no doubt a first-rate fellow, has been wounds d, and. a few months since, beat Shap-'ng-tsai off from Hoi-how, and wan exceedingly civil to Lieutenant Mould, of the Amazon, and the party that went down in the Canton steamer a month ago. It is a great stroke, and an advance in the right road, and speaks volumes f)r Captain Hay and Mr. Caldwell, whose invaluable services brought about this coalition of force for the destruction of the pirates, and one that will doubtless raise the British nation in the estimation of the Chinese people, who, along the whole coast, are now pouring out their heartfelt thanks for the destruction of this formidable band of marauders. Nor can we speak too highly of Hwang, who, being a high official, so promptly made his arrangements for so early a departure, proving himself to be far advanced of his counteymen in the economy of time and the value of dispatch:in attacking an enemy. On Monday evening, at a little after sunset, we an chored at Wy-chung, and Hwang went on shore, where found that the eight pirate boats had left Pack-hoy and gone to Chuck-shah, where the whole fleet was said to be cleaning their bottoms, and that they had com enced doing so five days before. On the afternoon of the 16th of October, the squadron reached Chuck-shin, and we learned from the people that, in consequ-nee of their not cutting grass for the burning of their junks bottoms, the pirates had de stroyed the town, killed a number of the inhabitants had run off wit'i wo m e n and children, and aft er comm i t .' ting great enormities, had gone further down the coast t o a place staked Hoo-nong in Cochin-China, where it was reported some junks were taking in cargoes of grain. Ow the 18th proceeded in further pursuit, and, search ing the harbour of Goo-to-shsn at five P.M. on the 18th observed a suspicious looking junk at anchor under a headland. She hoisted her sails with much precipita tion on our appearance., We, however, fired a shot ahead of her to try and stop her, to gain some intelli gence if possible, but she immediately commenced sweeping, and made for the land, under fire from the Columbine and Fury, over some shallow fiats that obliged the Columbine to anchor. The Phlegethon pro ceeded in chase, and ultimately destroyed her. She mounted six guns, and was a scout left there by the pirate chief. A great number of her people were killed and drowned, and t h e remainder escaped in the dusk into the interior. A junk was burnt to the water's edge. On the morning of the 19th weighed for Hoo-nong, off which island we cam e to an anchor at 1 r.m., and the Phlegethon went in with Captains Hay and'tWillcox, the mandarin, and Mr. Caldwell, as interpreter, for in formation. They returned in the course of the afternoon with the intelligence tha t Sha p - 'ng - tsai was in a w i t h large fleet only a few mil es f rom us, harbour and that at the neigh bourin g town of Fa - luny, they were preparing for an attack on the morrow. Early on the morning of the 20th, as Captains Hay and Willcox were about to proceed to the place pointed Out, some large junks under sail, apparently com i ng out, were observed from the ships, but, seeing the vessels of war, stood in again. No less than sixty-two junks of different sizes, forming the celebrated fleet, at W 1-?4t length presented themselves to our longing eyes. W e weighed immediately, but could not get competent people to take the vessels over the bar. At tour P.M., after twiny ineffectual attempts to get at them, a ri old man es cap"l from the village near the pirate position, and Rent 4)11 board the Phlegethon, and kd us through the la a THE SUN, LONDON, difficulties of the bar in fine style. On nearing the fleet we found they had moored a number of their largest vessels to defend the entrance, and at about halt-past four they opened fire on her Majesty's forces from their broadside guns, their shot at first falling short, although fired in good direction. Fury and Phlegethon now opened upon them with shot, shell, and rockets, Columbine quickly following, as soon as her guns could be brought to bear. At about five P.M., the firing on both sides was maintained with spirit, when a shell from Phlegethon blew Shap-'ng tsai's junk bang into the air, crew and all, with a (ear ful explosion, and oa the smoke clearing away scarcely a vestige of his proud flag-ship could be seen above water, excepting his flag, and a part of his poop railing, from which for some time amidst many explosions the flag, until consumed, continued to fly. This magnificent spectacle was followed by the entire destruction by fire of the whole of the junks anchored in her vicinity. The boats of Columbine, Fury, and Phlegethon completed the affair, and of er dark the heavens reflected the havoc going on, no less than twenty seven of the largest junks being in flames, exploding right and left as they passed majestically across the stream atter their cables were burnt through, their guns going off in all directions as they became heated, but fortunately hurting no one. It does not often, in these piping times cf peace, fall to the lot cf many people to see so grand a sight as fell to the expedition on the night of the 20th of October, and it is one that cannot soon be f ir goten. The Columbine having been le ft at the entrance to destroy the first block of junks, the Fury and Pnelegethon were in hot pursuicas long as they could see. At about right P.M. the latter vessel returned and took the brig in tow, and passed through the fleet of burning junks, until we reached the anchor age where the Fury was, whea we came to for the night. The fires lasted till daylight. Early on the 21st groups of piratical junks were in sight, which seemed to be as great strangers in the labyrinth of erodes as ourselves. Before night 24 more were totally destroyed, and their people killed, drowned, or in the hands of the Cochin Chinese, who were hunt ing them down with bamboo spears, &c., or they perished in the swamps which, for miles around, bound the waters we were in. A gallant affair took place this day. Lieutenant Hancock, of the Hastings, in the paddle-box of the Fury, attacked 9 large junks, who tried their best to beat him off, and although they maintained a well directed fire for nearly two hours, were at last, by the beautiful practice from his 24-pound howitzer, forced, after terrific slaughter, to give in, and their junks met the common fate. Nothing but the ex ceeding good management of the boat saved his people— not a soul was wounded or hurt, although grape in showers fell around, and his ammunition was reduced , to two rounds. On the 22d the completion of the destruction was re• sumed, and by sunset six more junks had shared the fate of their comrades, and the affair was over. No less than 5S junks had been burnt and destroyed. The fleet of Shap-'ng-tsai on the 19th consisted of 64 armed piratical vessels, which may be classed as follows: 1 of 42 or more guns, and about l2O men. 16 of 30 do. do. each 75 „ 42 of 16 do. do. do. 40 „ sof 6 do. do. do. 30 „ 64-1,250 guns, from 6 to 32-pounders, 3,150 men; and of that force there escaped -20f16 or more guns, and about...each 40 men. 4of 6 do. do. do. 30 „ . .. .. .... bearing away, it appears, the chief, Shap-'ng-tsai, with his moat devoted followers, altogether about 300 men. As the shells were falling pretty thickly about the junks, Shap-'ng-tsai, if he has really escaped, which, notwithstanding the testimony of the prisoners, appears doubtful, must have left his junk only a minute or so before her explosion, as he kept up his fire until the explosion, and one can hardly think his people would remain at their guns after their chief had fled. Such of the junks as were boarded and set fire to by the boats exhibited the most unequivocal evi dence of the destructive fire of her Majesty's forces. Their quarters were clear, the sponges, rummers, &c., by their guns, and in good order. Ammunition, flannel cartridges packed in boxes screened by blankets, were found ; indeed showing that order to some extent ex isted in the celebrated fleet that has latterly kept the west coast of China, from Canton to the gulf of Tonquin, in such a state of alarm. If the vessels of war could have got in to attack them earlier in the day, not a man or junnk could have Qs taped ; those that did escape were small junks that could barely get over the bar at the other end of the stream near Fa-fung, and that at high water only, which it is reported occurred on the night of the 20th, the forts at Fa-lung firing o❑ them as they passed, the reports of the guns being heard at intervals through the night. Hwang, the mandarin, who witnessed the attack and destruction, teas in high glee, and was most active and useful throughout. All now being over, such of the miserable pirates as had not fallen into the hands of the Cochin Chinese must have perished, for the tides rose in most places over the swamps surrounding the scene of de struction, and all further anxiety as to their escape ceas ing, the vessels of war put to sea at noon of the 23d, and made for Hoi-how, where we arrived at night on the 28th. Early on the 26th Hwang, accompanied by lobe captains and several of her Majesty's officers, landed, and were received with the utmost enthusiasm by the officials and the populace, who thronged in numbers to the landing place, and adjacent heights and gateways, and lined the streets to the residence of Hwang ; we should think from 15,000 to 20,000 Chinese composed as good ordered and civil a mob as any country could pro dace. Salutes, gongs beating, banners flying, with bands of music, completed the reception. Shortly after our arrival at Hwang's residence, his Excellency Ho, the Governor-General, arrived from Ching-king-fio, followed by the principal mandarins of the district, including a well-known official from Canton. Pretty speeches ware made on all sides, the interview was a highly interesting one, and it is presumed that so large a meeting of mandarins and her Majesty's officers has not taken place for some time. No less than 27 British officers, and 10 or 12 Chinese mandarins of high rank, were assembled in the maj sr•general's reception hall. Part el her Majesty's officers being in full uni form, added much to the novel scene. His Excellency Ho was very desirous that the squa dron should stay a few days for entertainments, &c., but this could not be complied with, owing to the anxiety of the commanders to return to Hong Kong. As his Ex cellency was desirous of seeing the Fury, and Captain Hay purposed leaving the same afternoon for Hong- Kong, it was proposed that he should at once embark for that purpose, which he accordingly did. During the in terval a gale had set in from N.E. with a very heavy sea, which hardly allowed his Excellency to get on board. However, he reached the Phlegethon, where he spent some time, and, notwithstanding the violence of the weather, he proceeded to the Fury, where he disco vered much more enlightened ideas than we anticipated; noticing minutely differences between the engines, &c., that casual observers would scarcely do. After his in spection of that splendid vessel, he landed under a salute of guns from the Phlegethon's boats. As the Fury and Columbine were to proceed at once, the former vessel waiting a olty longer for wood and water, it was with considerable difficulty his Ex cellency could be landed, owing to the violence of the gale; Vie shore was reached at last, and his Excellency landed, the boat's crew being obliged to remain all night, when they were most kindly treated by our old friend Hwang. The weather continuing bad, we did cot leave Hoi-how until the morning of tie 28th. His Excellency the Governor-General sent off boat lolds of pigs, fowls, ducks, goats, bullocks, &c., and a letter for Mr. Bonham. So has ended one of the most successful and important expeditions a the present day. The Chinese people from Canton to Cochin China may now, through 13ritish skill and prowess, proceed with their wonted occupations, so long disturbed; scarcely a trading vess.l on the coast has been safe from the celebrated pirato chieftain. Native trade will receive a stimulus, and the British people be raised in the estimation of a nation who have hitherto looked upon us with suspicion and distrust, but who now see that we havo other and higher motives than a desire to molest or intrude upon them except for the common good. The fact of destruction, and not loot, being our object, did not escape the observation of the people asso ciated with us. The entreaties of his Excellency Hwang to save some of the junks could not be complied with. All this has been achieved without the loss of a man. We heard from the prisoners that the morning Shap 'ng-tsai saw the vessels of war, namely, on the 20th, he beheaded an envoy from Seu—a mandarin, named Seung-akee, and also his own agent and boats crew from Hong-Kong, who had gone to warn him of our approach, all of whom he suspected of treachery, and of having shown us his haunts; he is said to have ex ecuted them early in the day, whilst we were trying to get at his fleet. As they were being executed, guns were fired, which we saw, but could not understand. Seu's envoy, who had been sent to treat with the villain, was once himse't a noted pirate, had been taken by our friend Hwang originally, and had since reached higher honours than his captor. It appears to have been a boast of this celebrated vanquished chieftain that the Fanqui ships could not follow him into the Gulf of Tonquin, but it has been pretty well proved that, by determination and firmness, there are few difficulties that cannot be surmounted when experience guides the officer and judgment mileshi ch between the e x directs the ma n . Th e fl ats or reefs, through or over w 13 N ed ow iti-o c n ho p w as a g n e d d 'll e a x i t - e ll nd at for in some near places y fifty with barely three fathoms water. At the best of times there is a swell, with heavy rollers sometimes breaking entirely across these reefs. Going down with pilots from Now-chow, at this time with better water, the dangers were not so apparent; but returning the same road, with a fresh wind from N.E., they looked appalling. Having passed a narrow place on Sunday afternoon, skirted by rocks over a l art called the bar, with eight feet only at low water, we were obliged to anchor between the reefs, when the Phlegethon pro ceeded on ahead. Whilst here, at about ten P.M., it blew a gale, with a dirty appearance, and a swell set in by no marina pleasant. The gale le ft such a sea on the bar ahead of us, that in trying it on Monday, the 29;h, it was found impractible, and Fury, with Columbine in tow, had to return to an anchor, which was by no means an easy thing to effect in a narrow channel, with scarcely eighteen feet water, and a heavy sea running. But this work was most skilfully managed by Certain Willcox, Fury just touching the ground. The bar was again at tempted on the morning of the 30'h,and got over, carry ing three fathoms and a half, but a fearful sea with rollers broke over the vessels, and we arrived at Now chow in safety ten at o'clock, and left again at two P.m. The pilots from this island proved themselves to be ex cellent and trustworthy. ;Here again the news of our success had spread like lightning, and people flocked to the beach to look at the vessels. The Earl of Carlisle returned to town on Saturday from Windsor Castle, FRANCE A letter of the 18th ult. in the _lXbats, from Athens, says— " On the evening of the 16th a note, proposing the ar bitration of the other protecting powers, France and Russia, was placed in the hands of the English Minister by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. At the same time the Greek Government communicated the note to the French and Russian Ministers, and solicited their inter vention with Mr. Wyse, to induce him to accept his pro positions. This step met with no success. The English Minister persisted in his former resolutions, but a fresh delay of twenty-four hours was granted. This term ex pires at the moment I am now writing to you. Since this morning there is a talk of the intention on the part of the English admiral to blockade the ports of Syra, the Piraeus, and Patras, and to take possession of the cus tom-houses of these places, but nothing positive is known on the subject. The French and the Russian Ministers have not hesitated to give the Greek Govern ment all the support at their command, and public opi nien goes entirely with them. The royal family loudly express their gratitude. At the Piratus and at Athens the irritation against the English is very great. That will avail nothing, I know, against the cannon of Ad miral Parker; but it is the complete annihilation of M. Mavrocordato (the English party), and of his fine friends, who dare not any more show themselves. It is impossible but that in all Europe, as at Athens, a just appreciation will be formed of what is passing at this moment in Greece. Independently of the fact in itself, is there a power which must ric t show itself hurt at the unceremonious conduct cf the English, who, while loudly proclaiming that it was about to return peaceably to Malta, goes, without saying a word on the subject, to Admiral Parseval, and without Mr. Canning mentioning it in the slightest way to General Aupick, and places a knife at the throat of Greece on the most frivolous pre tence—a pretence which would scarcely deserve to be• come the object cf a negotiation. " P.S. At the moment of closing sny letter I learn that the English Admiral has decided on employing coercive measures. All the coasts of Grene are placed in a state of blockade for Greek vessels of war only. Any armed vessel, under the Greek flag, will be immeliately cap• tured. The Chambers have given their adhesion in an address t•) the sentiments and policy of the Go ♦ernment." The Monitewr publishes the returns of the corn trade in the different markets of France, from which it appears that the average price of the hectolitre of wheat during the first fortnight of January was 15f. 89c. at Toulouse, Gray, Lyons, and Marseilles; 141. 66c. at Marans and Bordeaux ; 141. 84c. at St. Laurent and Le Grand Lemps; 13f.

This news, which, a year ago, would have been received with universal incredulity, becomes daily less paradoxical. Last week many letters from Lombardy announced this new Italian combination on the faith of Vienna cor respondence. The Duke of Modena is the wisest of Italian monarchs; he follows the constitutional sys tem, he does not exact extraordinary contributions, he takes no reactionary measures, he gives free circu lation to all journals of moderately liberal principles, he introduces reforms in the Administration—that is his system ; he aspires to be the founder of a kingdom of Upper Italy." MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) There has been a fair amount of business transacted during the week, and the inquiries for shares in leading mines are well maintained. It is gratifying to announce that another advance in the standard has taken place. Devon Great Consols have been done at an advance on last week's quotations. The general prospects of the mines are represented to be in a position highly gratifying to the shareholders. The recent improve ments, but more especially the present appearances at Wheal Emma, afford ample cause for anticipating great results. South Tolgus and Treviskey and Barrier have been done at a considerable advance, arising from some important improvements ; and an active inquiry for shares continues. South Bassett, Stray Park, Carn Brea, Trehane, and Trelawny, have also been in request. Condurrows are still in request. The prospects are represented as highly encouraging, especially in their progress towards the old mine. A winze below the 70 (2 fms. long, by 5 fins. deep), has yielded nearly 1,4001. of copper ore, with every prospect of the lode continuing productive. In cutting some ground in an old shaft a valuable branch of tin has been discovered, and the improvements generally are of a most cheering character. Shares in the following mines have changed hands this week :—Devon (-; rest Consols, South Tolgus, West Caradon, Trelawny, Treviskey and Barrier, Trehane, lleignston Down Consols, Tincroft, East and South Tamar, Mary Ann, Daren, Bedford United, Kirkcudbright, Tremayne, Tregorden, Tamer Consols, Cwm Erfin, Wheal Gennys, Devon and Courtenay, Stray Park, Cam Brea, Wheal Marga ret, &c. At the Treviskey and Barrier bi-monthly meeting a dividend of Si. per share was declared on Traviskey. The profit for the two months made by Treviskey ap pears to be 5861. Is., and Barrier 551, reducing the balance against the latter to 57/.143. 3d., and the cre dit to the former 361. 151. Bd., with ore bills due, and not at maturity. At the Bedford United Mines bi-monthly meeting, a dividend of 1,0001. was declared for the past two months, being ss. per share. The abstract statement of accounts presented showed a cash balance of 1,162/. lOs. 11d., and it also appeared that a profit of 3,830/. Is. 11d. was made in the last twelve months; and i❑ the last six months a profit of 2,661/.143.8d. had been realised, arising chiefly in consequence of the advance of standard for copper ore. The general accounts up to the end of April show a balance of assets over lia bilities of 4,333/. 19s. 4d. An elaborate report, prepared by the manager, was presented and approved of by the meeting, re commending the sale of the south part of the mines, to be annexed to the East Gunnis Lake sett, and worked conjointly, giving the option of the share holders in the Bedford mines to share pro rata in the new company, which will, no doubt, be readily ac ceded to, by the entire sanction of the proprietary, at the meeting convened for the 14th inst., to consider this important proposition. At the ilolyford Copper Company's meeting, the balance-sheet for the six months showed a loss of 564/. 12s. Id.-160/. of which has been expended at the Old Forge Mine, which has not yet proved pro ductive. The report of the Holyford Mine is satis factory, inasmuch that the deepest level is productive of rich ore. The shaft is now down 9 ft. under the 30, and the tribute pitches are looking remarkably well. At the meeting of Cwm Erfin adventurers a call of 10s. per share was made ; the balance in favour of the adventurers was 161. 193. 9d. The management of the mines was, by the unanimous sanction of the meeting, placed in the efficient hands of Messrs. J. Taylor and Co. At the Tresavean meeting, the accounts showed— Ores sold for Nov. and Dec., 1,9511. 143. 4d., and a balance in hand of 8461. 19s. 4d. At the Trethellan meeting, a dividend of Si. per share was declared, leaving balance at bankers of 1941. 4s. 11d. At the West Trethellan meeting the accounts showed—Ores sold (less dues), 341/. 12s. 3J., and a balance in hand of 1661 7s 11d. At the Ileignston Down meeting the accounts showed a balance in favour of the mine, 1451. 19s. Bd., with liabilities, 500/. 17s. 10d , and available assets to meet them, of 3001 In shares of foreign mines there have been nume rous and large transactions. St. John del They, United Mexican, Imperial Brazilian, and Copiapo shares have been much in request, and the very consider able improvements at request, have brought the Na tional Brazilian shares in demand. Australian, San tiago, Cobre, and Alten have also been done. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazelle) APPOINTMENTS TO THE VACANT COLONELCIEF.— At the momerst of going to press, we have authority for st ,ting that the vacant Colonelcies of the 68th and 80th Regiments have been bestowed by his Grace the Com mander-in-Chief respectively, on Major-General Douglas Mercer, and Major-General Henry Dau beney, K.H. THE REDUCTION—The recruiting parties that have been stationed in London, have left for the purpose of rejoining their Regiments. CHANGE OF QUARTERS.—The Household Brigade cf infantry will change quarters on the Ist March as fd lows:—Grenadier Guards-Ist Battalion, from St. George's Barracks to Chichester; 2,1 Battalion from Wellington Barracks to St. John's-wood; 3d Battalion, from Windsor to the Tower.

ARMY PRIZE MONEY.—The Commissioners of Woods and Works have received from her Majesty's Paymaster- General the sum of 20,000/., unclaimed army prize money, for the purpose of purchasing the site of the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea, and for the enlarg ing and improving of the buildings, &c. PENINSULA MEDAL.—By the last general order claim ants to medals under the general order of the Ist of June, 1847, are required to send in their applications to the Board of General Officers by the Ist of May next. WEST INDIA REGIMENT. —We last week mentioned that a serious charge had been brought before the au thorities against an officer of the Ist West India Regi ment, and although we are in full possession of all the particulars connected with the case, we yet forbear to give them publicity, the question as to what course it will be legally necessary to adopt in the matter being still under consideration. THE ROYAL CRUISE OF 1850.—We have good grounds for believing that our most Gracious Sovereign will pro ceed on her summer cruise in the royal yacht Victoria and Albert much earlier than usual this year. The royal yacht is positively ordered to be taken out of dock by the 25th March, and be ready for sea in every re spect by the Ist April. It is reported that the Victoria and Albert will make an experimental trip to Gibraltar in April; and it will depend upon her performances during that trip whether her Majesiy will undertake the visit to the celebrated Rock. . _ ARCTIC SEARCHING EXPEDITIONS. — Further official instructions hive been published with reference to the searching expeditions of Commander Pullen approach ing the Hudson Bay territories by way of Behring's Straits, and of Dr. Rae, now proceeding northward be tween Wollaston and Victoria Islandi, and their uniform action to carry out the objects in view. Mr. Hooper, Mate of the Plover, has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. THE NEW NORTH-WEST EXPEDITION.—We an nounced, on authority, last week, that there would positively be a new north-west expedition this year in search of Franklin. We may now state that daily con ferences aro 1-eing held between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Admiralty, and we hope to announce next week the appointment of the naval officer to com mand the expedition. Mr. Penny, late Master of the Advice whaler, is to have the command of one of the ships, and among the officers of the navy who have voluntered for this service are Commander Codrington Forsyth and Lieutenants M•Clintock and Browne, who were with Sir James Ross in the Enterprise. THE PARIS ABATTOIR SYSTEM. The general plan of the abattoirs for cattle may be described as consisting of a large open court, in which the animals are separated, so as to place them in the layers reserved fur each particular butcher. At the entrance to the courts are placed the offices of the different employeB of the establishment. On both sides are the slaughter-houses, which again are sur rounded on their other three sides by the cattle layers. The fat-melting places, and those destined for the preparation of the tripes, and the first prepara tions of the offal, are at the extreme end of most of the Paris abattoirs. The cattle are fastened to rings let into the walls, and are allowed 3 feet 4 in. frontage nearly ; the sheep are inclosed in pens fitted up with mangers ; water-troughs are sometimes furnished to both ; at others the animals are led to the watering places in the court-yards. -The slaughter-houses are in groups (two and two), with a court between. Each block contains eight divisions for slaughtering. In the abattoirs built of late the court between the two blocks is roofed over. This trifling change has ren dered the working of the abattoirs much more satis factory ; it has been adopted at Nantes and at Caen with perfect success. The separate divisions of the abattoirs are divided from one another by walls, eight inches thick, o f ve ry h a rd s t one , t o facilitate the cleansing. At a height of eight feet four inches two beams are let into the wall, to which the animals are suspended for the purpose of being cut ups hooks are let into the wall to receive the different portions ; a crane is fixed to hoist the carcasses ; a large water. co c k is also placed so as to enable the assistants thoroughly to cleanse the paving. Rings are let into the floor to fasten the animals ; the paving is laid w ith a f i ll, t o co ll ec t th e blood, great care being taken to bed the pavement upon a very thick coat of concrete, to prevent the ravages of the rats. A circulation of air is main tained by means of open gratings over the doors and over the upper parts of the partitions. Places to receive the excrescences are furnished as near the slaughter-houses as possible ; and large sewers are laid down throughout the establi s h ments . S ta bl es an d coach-houses are provided for the butchers. A large pump, worked either by a steam-engine, or by horse- power, is erected in . each abattoir, with re servoirs to contain a ponderable supply of water. Every animal that is killed gives rise to a consump• tion of about one-fifth of a ton of water if the slaughter-house be properly cleaned after each opera • tion. The town of Paris contracted for a quantity of 97,350 tons per annum for the five abattoirs ; but it is not considered more than half what is really required. '1 he odour arising from the fat melting is one of the worst evils of the abattoirs; and we would do well not to allow its being carried on in th e i n t er i o r o f London. The commercial results, in whatever light we examine them, have been eminently successful. The butchers find very considerable advantage in having their meat slaughtered in the best hygienic conditions; for it is less likely to turn, and keeps much longer. They fully recognise the advantages of the institution, though at first they vig o r ous ly op posed its introduction.— The Builder. THE END or A " SPREE."—On Saturday three bold dragoons belonging to the regiment at present lying in Edinburgh, having, it would appear, too much money in their purses, resolved on spending it as jovially as possible, and with as little restraint as might be. For this purpose, without leave asked or obtained from head quarters, they booked themselves as passengers to Glas gow by the 6.30 train from Edinburgh, resolved on hav ing a spree with their comrades who belonged to the same corps here. They arrived at their destination in due course, and, having beat up the quarters of their friends in Glasgow, had commenced the pro cess of spending their cash, when a party of police, acting under the instructions of their superiors, ap prehended the whole party, and took them to the police office. To account fur this, it is only necessary to men tion that the telegraph had been set in operation from Edinburgh, and a description forwarded t') the authori ties here of tne elopement of the dragoons, with a re quest to apprehend them if they could be found. The result of this communication has been already mentioned, and the ehopfallen dragoons, who had only finished their first cigar, were locked up for the night in the polic-- office, to await further instructions.— Glasgow Daily Mail. FALL OF A. GRAVEYARD WALL. On Saturday noon, the high wall surrounding Cockermouth Church yard fell in with the most tremendous crash against the adjoining houses i n M o unt rieasaut, which are mostly occupied by weavers. During the time that the acci dent occurred several of the men were at work at their looms, and, although dreadfully alarmed, we are happy to state that all the inmates escsped without the slightest injury. The windows of one of the houses were entirely demolished, and the family who occupied the ground floor sustained the loss of their crockery ware, which was entirely dashed to pieces. The churchwardens, being informed of the accident, promptly repaired to the spot, and set men to work to prop up the remaining portion of the wall, the whole of which will eventually have to be taken down. The wall is between eighty and ninety yards long, and fourteen feet iu height. Several coffins were exposed to view, but they were immediately covered over. The wall was too narrow for its heigh', and the heavy pressure of earth from the churchyard, aided no doubt by the sudden change in the weather, forced it do w n.--Cuniberland Facquet. POLICE INTELLIGENCE , MAA'SION-HOUSE. Solomon Abrahams and Israel Levy were brought before Alderman Humphrey, upon suspicion of having robbed Solomon Joel, a fishmonger, residing in Stoney-lane, of money to the amount of upwards of 171. Mr. Hobler appeared for the prisoners. The complainant, who was stated to be a very in dustrious, hard-working fishmonger, has been in the ,habit of attending Billingsgate-market. Between 5 t.nd 6 o'clock on Friday morning he left his lodgings to go to the market, and Abrahams, who had a candle hi his hand, and was in the immediate:neighbourhood, called to him, and asked him where he was going. He said, "To Billingsgate." " Very well," said Abrahams, "I shall be there in about an hour." U?on Joel's return from the market, he found that his room had been entered by thieves, that ten sove reigns and some silver had been taken out of the poeliet of his trousers, which he had left under the blankets in his bed, and that a jar, in which he had been in the habit of emptying his pockets of silver and halfpence fur a considerable time, had also disappeared. The whole of the furniture of the unhappy man was tumbled about the room, and there appeared to be in the confusion which had taken place every evidence of a complete search for whatever was valuable. In a state of distraction the complainant ran about the house and the street, and was, when he was able to make him self intelligible, assisted by the police in looking after the thieves. Suspicion having fallen upon the pri soners, they were taken into custody, and -upon one of them was found a penny-piece which the plun dered man said was one of the coppers he had placed in the jar but a short time before. Mr. Hobler examined the penny-piece, and asked the complainant from what marks he could swear that it was one of those which he had deposited in the jar ? The complainant, who seemed to be still greatly excited, said be knew the copper from the mark of a slight cutting on the side. Mr. Hobler submitted that there was on the penny piece no mark which might not be expected to be upon hundreds of coppers, arising from collision. Alderman HUMeHERT said he certainly thought the production of the copper would not at all assist the case. Abraham Goldsmith, a Jew boy, 12 years of age, of extremely sharp intellect, said that between five and six o'clock on Friday morning, he saw Levy stand ing by the complainant's door, near which there was a gas-lamp. He saw at the same time a light in the complainant's room upstairs. Upon returning he observed the prisoners going along together, and Abrahams was carrying a jar, which had money in it. He was not mistaken in the prisoners. Mr. Hobler—How do you know that there was money in the jar? Witness—l know it was money by the rattle. I know the sound of money well ; it was the sound of copper. Mr. Hobler—Do you know the difference between the rattle of silver and the rattle of copper ? Witness —Certainly I do. There might have been some silver, but the sound was copper. The complainant—When I saw Abrahams before I went to market he had a candle in his hand, and when I returned and that I was robbed I found an other candle besides my own in the room. lam sure that was Abrahams' candle. The boy—When I saw Abrahams and Levy going away with the jar of coppers they had no candle with them, so that they must have left it behind them.—(A laugh.) Mr. llobler—Upon the first examination the com plainant said not a word about the candle. The complainant—l didn't know what I was about then. It was stated that at the station-house the poor Jew had made the statement about having seen Abra hams with the candle, and afterwards having seen a strange candle in his room. In answer to questions put by Alderman Hum- PHERY, the boy said that a woman named Davis had seen a man standing at Joel's door between five and six in the morning, but she was unwilling to come forward and say who that man was. One of the policemen said that Mrs. Davis, upon being asked to appear at the Mansion-house to iden tify the party she had seen, stated that she would not attend, and that " a horse might be taken to drink, but could not be compelled to drink." Alderman HUMPHERY—We shall see whether we can't make Mrs. Davis make us acquainted with what she knows. I shall remand the case till Friday, and let a warrant be issued to compel her attendance. The boy said that he had reason to be afraid of one of the prisoners and his friends. Alderman lIMAIPHREY—If any one threatens you or attempts to do you the least injury, give him at once into custody to a policeman. The boy—That I certainly shall.—(A laugh.) The Alderman refused to take bail for the appear ance of the prisoners, who were then remanded till Friday next. A cab-driver was brought up on suspicion of having committed manslaughter. It appeared that a few days ago, on the very dan gerous crossing near the Mansion-house, the cab, which the defendant was driving at the rate of six miles an hour, ran over a gentleman of the name of Hodges, who was immediately carried off to St. Bar tholomew's Hospital. The cabman was of course ap prehended. The patient, who was seventy years of age, died in the hospital, and information was sent to the Mansion-house that an inquest had been held, and that the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Alderman HUMPHREY, in discharging the cabman from custody, said that six miles an hour was a pace much too rapid for a cab in .so perilous a place as the wide arena before the Mansion-house, and that the defendant certainly had cause to accuse himself in a great measure of - having occasioned the death of a fellow-creature. The defendant said the gentleman was crossing at the time behind an omnibus, and was not seen by anybody who had the power of rendering assistance. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY IN THE ClTY.—Late On Saturday evening considerable alarm was caused in the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-street Without, owing to the following daring robtery. A respectabl) -dressed young man entered the shop of Mr. Hyho, a silversmith and watchmaker, and asked to be shown a silver watch. One was produced (a half-plate lever), which the fellow examined very minutely, and having inquired the price, he put his hand into his pocket, as it was supposed, to take out the money to pay for the article. Instead, however, of so doing, he seemed to hesitate a little, and asked to be shown another somewhat lighter. Mr. Hyho having turned round to reach another, the fellow threw the contents of his hands, which, instead of being money, were either gunpowder or some other combus tible, upon the gaslight. Several persons passing by the shop thinking the place had taken fire, immediately, started to White Cross-street brigade station for the en gine. The thief rushed out of the shop, carrying with him the watch. The moment Mr. Hyho recovered him self he ran out of the shop and followed the man for some distance, shouting " Stop thief," but the fellow succeeded in getting clear off. The only damage done to the premises was the breaking the gas-lamp and black ening some of the windows. MAJORITY OF THE HON. MR. VERNON. — On Fri day the Hon. Augustus Henry Vernon, son of Lord Vernon, lord of the manor of Stockport, and the pro prietor of several extensive collieries in the neighbour hood, came of age, and the event was celebrated with great enthusiasm, both in Stockport and in the village of Poynton, where the family resides. A sumptuous dinner was laid in the Town-hal), Stockport, at which the mayor presided, supported by the Hon. Mr. Vernon, the prin cipal gentry of the town being present on the occasion. Poynter' presented a scene of the utmost conviviality, the workmen employed under Lord Vernon being all re galed to their heart's content with most substantial fare. The festivities continued until a late hour. lox CLUB.—On Saturday the following members of the Fox Club met at Brooks's :—The Right Hon. Earl of Charlemont, the Right Hon. Earl Fitzwilliam, the Right Hon. Earl of Strafford, the Right Hon. Lord Marcus Hill, M.P., Col. Hon. Geo. Anson, M.P., Hon. George, Fitzwilliam, M.P., Sir J. Montague Cholmeley, Bart., M.P., J. Houghton Langston, Esq., M.P., Vis count Ebrington, M.P., Hon. E. L. Mostyn, M.P., Row laub Alston, Esq., H. Fred. Stephenson, Esq., Lord Sudeley, W. Gibson Craig, Esq., M.P., Colonel Boldero, E. Ayshford Sandford, Esq , A. W. Roberts, Esq., Fred. Dundas, Esq., Sir Robert Heron, Bart., A. K. Stephenson, Esq., Right Hon. Sir R. Adair, Right Hon. A. Rutherford. M.P., Right Hon. Earl of Zetland, Right Hon. Edward Ellice, M.P., Right Hon. Lord De Mallley. CAMELFORD.—DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT WEAPONS OF WARFARE.—WhiIe some labourers were employed a few weeks since in excavating for the foundation of a house at Slaughter-bridge, near Camelford, they dug up some implements of ancient war, consisting of a battle. axe, a spear, and a spur, supposed to have laid buried there since the days of King Arthur. Tradition says that on that spot a sanguinary battle was fought between the troops of Arthur and those opposed to him, and that the nephew of Arthur was killed in the fight. Hi s remains were interred near the spot, and were after wards removeti to Glastonbury. The persons who found the articles named, gave them away, settin g but lithe t I value on them; but could they be procured, we think they would be a valuable relic to be deposited in ono of the museums in this county. The spur is now in the possession of Mr. Creeper, of the White Hart, lan, Ca melford. SEND THEM TO THE RAGGED SCHOOL.—On Wed nesday, J. Gilmore and M. Mattimore, two ragged boys, were chargad before the magistrates, at Sunderland, with having been f oun d begging. Ordered to be sent to the Rigue I School. Mr. Candlish, secretary to the Ragged School, who %as present, addressed the bench to the effect th a t th e comm i ttee, be i ng o f op i n i on t h a t juvenile mendicancy was productive of great moral evil, would be glad to receive all the children found begging in town into the Ragged School. The magistrates con curred in the opinion. The police were ordered to send all children found begging f,r the future to the Ragged School. --Sunderland Herald. THE GREAT EXHIBITION 'OF 1851.—The COUP. mittee appoint e d t o o r g anise and collect subscriptions for the Great Exhibition of Industry of all Nations consists of Lord Granville, Mr. Alderman Thompson, George Drew, and Francis Fuller, Esqa., who meet daily at the Board of Trade.

Liberal supplies of oats, oatmeal, and flour from Ireland continue to be received at Liverpool and Runcorn ; but from abroad the imports are only moderate this week, the chief item being 4,542 sacks of French flour. Our market this morning was exceedingly dull, and wheat receded in value Id to 2d per 701 b. Where sales were made in flour a reduction of Is per sack had to be submitted to ; but so few transactions occurred in this article that our quotations remain almost nominal. Oats declined Id per 451 b, and oatmeal 6d per load, with an extremely slow sale for the latter article. READING, FEB. 2.—Wheat, per quarter, 30s to 49s ; barley, 25s to 30e; oats, 16s to 20s ; beans, 30s to 33s ; peas, 305 to 325. Fat hogs, 7s 9d to 8s ; porkers, 8s Od to 8s 3d • per sc • ore Poultry—Geese, each, Os Od to Os Od ; f ow l s , per couple, 3s Od to 3e 64 ; ducks, per couple, 3s 6d to 4a Od ; butter, per lb, is Id to is 2d ; eggs, 10 for Is. WORCESTER, FEU. 2.—The weather is very damp, and most of the samples of wheat brought to market are out of condition ; for these the rates of last week cannot be obtained, and wheat must be quoted at 6d to is per quarter less money than at last market day. The top price of good wheat must be quoted at 155 6d to I6s. per bag, but the general run is disposed of at 15s. Grinding barley 2s 9d per bushel ; and malting qualities, 3s 3d per bushel. Malt must be quoted as low as 7s per bushel, and the very best samples, 7s 64. Eng lish oats (old) 3s 3d per bushel ; Irish. 2s 6,1 to 2s 9,1 ; new English, 2s 6d per bushel. Beans may be quoted at 13s per bag for English, and 108 64 to 11 s for foreign. Peas for feeding 3s 6d. ' and boilers 4s per bushel. Winter vetches 55 to 5s 44 per bushel. Stourbridge market, on Friday, was fairly attended, but not much business was transacted. Wheat averaged 155 to 15a 6d Per bag, For barley a slow demand, at 3s to Oa 4d per btiabel, ------------- Beans a dull sale at 6d per quarter less money. The sloe may be said of peas. Oats little inquired for. farmers and dealers was numerous, and supplies were abuttitg A t Stratford-on-Avon market on Friday the attendaneenef. WI eat consequently declined in value 6d per bag, O s the highest price. Barley also declined at least is per the current prices being 235 to 24s per quarter. In bean . 0_ alteration.
