THE SUN, ADELPHI THEATRE• --- Never have we witnessed a more complete, un equivocal, and dechive triumph than that last night achieved by Mr. Josh Silsbee, " the celebrated Yankee comedian," on his first appearance before an European audience; and in truth the success was fully merited in every particular. Although mani festly labouring under severe indisposition, the debu tent exerted himself to the very utmost to realise the expectations that had been entertained on his 'behalf. If the audience had reason to be well satisfied with the actor, the actor had no less cause to be pleased with those who witnessed his earliest efforts on this side of the Atlantic. He received a genuine, hearty English welcome, which more than confirmed what he had previously heard of the kindly hospitality of " John Bull " to every stranger. On his entrance he was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, that must have removed any lingering doubts as to the tone and manner of his reception, and inspired him with abundant confidence to meet the ordeal through which he was about to pass. His face, figure, and make-up elicited this rapturous applause. The mere look of Liston used to set the house in a roar ; the same was last night accomplished by Silsbee ; his rich oily countenance, gleaming with comicality, showed the rich vein of humour that lay scarcely con cealed beneath the surface. Bu' . . "his face was not his only fortune"—there was a figure to match, so that it signified little in what direction he was turned, any aspect was equally provocative of mirth. He gave the pure unadulterated Yankee dialect, and the broad caricature delineation of the Yankee cha racter; but it was an original picture, there was no copying from any other artist. .lie had full reliance on his awn powers; and it would have been a griev ous error if he bad entertained any undue doubts on the subject. We cannot say much for the piece itself, except the parts of it in which Mr. Silsbee was en gaged. All the performers laboured .zealously and efficiently to give fair play to the new aspirant, but despite the exertions of Miss Woolgar, as the Forest Rose, in which she charmed the audience as she in variably does—despite the devotion of Miss .Ellen . Chaplin, who assumed the queerest appearance in' check pinafore and hair clubbed together, in 'a manner that would have driven a French perruquier to the verge of insanity—despite the efforts of G. Honey,' and, it is but justice to add, the excellent make up of Mr. Worrell, who made the most of his part as a New York dandy—the piece would have had but little chance of success but for Silsbee. The phases of Yankee character displayed by him would have saved a much worse production. He must have had ample license to fill up the meagre outlines at his' pleasure. His courtship with Sal, extracting the New York pillar shillings from Blandford, or telling the tale of his courtship, interspersed with a variety of genooine Yankee witticisms, kept the house in an incessant roar, which reached a climax at the Cape Cod reel, in which, with every nerve and muscle in motion, he arrived at a degree of delirium which was only abated by the discovery that the mischievous Sal had substituted the hand of an ebony damsel—the horror of a true Yankee—for her own. This dance was rapturously encored, and was gone through with equal spirit the' second time, notwithstanding the fatigue that must have attended the original effort. It would alone be sufficient to attract an audience and ensure bumper houses. At the conclusion Mr. Silsbee was loudly called for, and in a brief speech he re turned thanks for his reception, alluding slightly to the severe cold under which he was suffering, and promising to come out " stronger and slicker" before the end of the week. We congratulate Mr. Webster on his acquisition, which gave another real Adelphi triumph, such as those for which " the little theatre in the Strand" has long been celebrated. KOSSUTH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlE,—Kossuth is hourly expected to land at Southampton. A letter, has been received from him, stating that he was about to start in the American ship Mississippi, which would either bring him direct to England, or, failing that, would land him at Gi braltar to proceed hither by the English mail-steamer due to-morrow or next day. Now is the time to give this patriot and hero a reception worthy of his cha racter and his deeds. When barbarian despots, either generals or statesmen so called, or kings or emperors, visit this country, our aristocracy rush forward to fête, to feast, to honour, and to glorify them. Now then, on the other hand, is the time for the people of England, the people, 1 repeat, of this great and free state, to show at how much higher a price they esti mate true valour and disinterested patriotism. Let it not be a reproach to us, that Englishmen care for no other liberty than their own. If it be really so, I will not invoke its destruction, but I will say that we are not worthy of the liberty we enjoy. The - most glorious period of the most glorious reign in the annals of this country was that of Queen Elizibeth, when she fought the battle of civil and reli gious liberty upon a foreign shore. Alas ! those days are long since passed away, end all gene rous feeling for the well-being of other nations is ab sorbed in the selfish principle of non-interference, whilst our own liberties remain unassailed. Oh, let we beseech my countrymen, if their love of liberty be so narrow, or so torpid, or so cowardly, as that they are unwilling or dare not to enter the battle field when opportunity offers, to contend side by side with the oppressed against the oppressor, in whatever land he may he found, let them at least do all in their power to console in his misfortune, and honour in his exile, the most virtuous patriot, and one of the greatest men of this or any other age. W. A. S. [Since the above was written, authentic informa tion has been received from Constantinople of the 10th instant, announcing that Kossuth was actually on board the Mississippi.—En. Sun] THE TIMBER TRADE.—The Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs have granted permission for all ships laden with timber from foreign parts to discharge their cargoes from six to six, instead of. as formerly, from eight in the morning until four in the afternoon; also ships laden with deals and other wood goods, from seven in the morning until five in the afternoon, when discharging in any of the docks under charge of the revenue officers. This relaxation of rules will be of great benefit to the merchant and ship owner during the long days. In the winter months it is not required. A meeting of the leading merchan - ts connected with the Australian colonies took place yesterday at the George and Vulture Tavern in relation to the aspect of affairs con sequent upon the gold discoveries. The chairman (Mr. Flower) referred to the state of uncertainty in which all who are interested in the trade with Australia have been placed by the recent news, and pointed out the necessity for ascer taining what steps the Government intend to take, especially with regard to supporting the colonial authorities in main taining p oper regulations. A discussion then followed, and it was finally resolved that a deputation should be formed to wait upon the Colonial Minister with the view of obtaining a conference upon the subject. The Droit has the following rather incredible story : —" A commercial traveller, whose business frequently called him from Orleans to Paris, M. Edmund D—, was a ccustomed to go to an hotel, with the landlord of which he was acquainted. Liking, like almost all persons of his pro fession, to talk and joke, he was the favourite of everybody in the hotel. A few days ago he arrived, and was received with pleasure by all, but it was observed that he was much less gay than usual. The stories that he told, instead of being interesting as formerly, were of a lugubrious character. On Thursday evening, after supper, he invited the people of the hotel to go to his chamber to take coffee, and he promised to tell them a tale full of dramatic incident. On entering the room, his guests saw on the bed, near which he seated himself, a pair of pistols. story,' said he, ' has a sad eilmottenzent, and I require the pistols to make it clearly un derstood.' As he had always been accustomed, in telling his tales, to indulge in expressive pantomime, and to take up anything which lay handy, calculated to add to the effect, no surprise was felt at his having prepared pistols. lie be gan by narrating the loves of a young girl and a young man. They had both, heSaid, promised, under the mostsoletnn oaths, inviolable fidelity. The young man, whose profession obliged him to travel, once made a long absence. Whilst he was away, he received a legacy, and on his return hastened to place it at her feet. But on presenting himself before her he learned that, in compliance with the wishes of the family, she had just married a wealthy merchant. The young man thereupon took a terrible resolution. 'lie purchased a pair of pistols like these,' he continued, taking one in each hand, • then. he assembled his friends in his chamber, and, atter some conversation, placed one under his chin, in this way, as I do, saying in joke that it would be a real pleasure to blow out his brains. And at the same moment he pulled the trigger.' Here the man discharged the pistol, and his head was shattered to pieces. Pieces of the bone and por tions of the brain fell on the horrified spectators. The un fortunate man had told his own story." FIRE AND MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.--A fire of a very alarming character, and nearly attended with the loss of two or three lives, happened at a late hour on Monday night in the premises belonging to Mr. L. Doxatt, of the Observer newspaper, residing at No. 30, Henrietta-street, Covent-garden. The flames commenced in the back attic, at which time a servant and a young child were asleep in the room. The moment the discovery was made an alarm was raised, but the fire had made such progress that it was extremely difficult for any one to get to the room in ques tion. Mr. and Mrs. Clark, who also lived in the house, rushed through the fire in order to save child and servant. In so doing both were very severely burned over the hands and face; fortunately the child and servant succeeded in getting upon the roof, and having passed on to the next house they remained there until the Royal Society's fire escape came up, when both were carried down in safety. The engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West of England Company quickly attended, and a plentiful supply of water having been obtained, the firemen set to work most vigorously, and at length succeeded in subduing the flames, but not until the top rooms of the house were burned out, the staircase destroyed, pert of the roof consumed, and the lower portion of the dwelling much damaged by water. The origin of the disaster is unknown. Fortunately Mr. Doxatt was insured in the Sun Fire-office. SEIOREDITCEI N EW ALMSHOUSES.—Yesterday after noon the first stone of the almshouses opposite St. Mary's Church, Haggerstone, for 20 poor aged females, was laid by the Lord Mayor. Spacious tents, most tastefully decorated, were erected, and a great concourse of people assembled to ?fitness the ceremony. The proceedings were admirably managed. It is estimated that 1,5201. will be required to pay for the land and build the houses; 8041. towards this amount was collected on the Ist of September, leaving a deficiency 7101., which it is expected will be soon realised, as sub scriptions come i n f a st.

The accounts received by this steamer mention that the crops in most of the windward islands may be said to be finished, and in all have been better than those of last year. The weather on the whole has been favourable, for although on the 17th and 18th of August a severe gale of wind was experienced, yet it did not amount to A hurricane, and generally did little or no damage. It is preniature to speak of 1852: at present appearances are good, but so much depends on the weather that may intervene between this and the beginning of the year that a difference of 50 per cent.may arise in the amount of the yield. From Antigua we learn that the highways throughout the island had sus tained considerable injury during the hurricane, and additional resources would be required from the Le gislature for their repair. To the fortunate circum stance of the wind having blown off the shore was ascribed the preservation of the whole of- the vessels loading for Europe. Two island droughers and a brigantine were driven on shore ; the barque Lanca shire Witch, from Liverpool, bound to Porto Rico, was lost during the gale on the north side of the island of Barbuda, and went to pieces in ten minutes ; the master, five men, and a boy were drowned. In St. Kitts considerable damage bad been done to house property by the hurricane. At sea the damage was much greater. The St. _Kitts Advertiser says the sloop Eliza F. Cook, with a cargo on board, from St. Thomas, the sloop Henrietta, with a cargo of sugar from Montserrat, and the cutter Harriet, all be- • longing to the island, were driven to sea from their anchorage in this roadstead, and well-grounded ap prehensions are entertained for their safety. These vessels were all without crews. The sloop Prince of Wales, of Dominica, was also driven out, and went ashore to Point Town, where she became a total wreck. One man was lost in attempting to swim ashore ; three others, who remained on board the vessel, reached the shore in safety after she struck. The schooner Petrel, Captain Wattley, of this port, was driven out of one of the bays to leeward and has not since been heard of. The cutter Margaretta, belong ing to Messrs. John W. Gould and Co., was driven on shore at the lower end of the bay. She has since been got off, fortunately without sustaining any seri ous damage. A large boat, the property of Mr. S. A. - Wade, was driven on shore near the Margaretta, and lost her anchor and mast. The barque Glaphyra, of London, and the brig Emma Graham, of Liver pool, rode out the gale in safety. The brigantine Belle, of Yarmouth, United States, Captain Poole, from Antigua, bound to St. Martin's for a load of salt, was driven on shore at the eastern part of the island at four A.M., and shortly became a total wreck. Tae captain was unfortunately lost in attempting to leave the vessel. The wife of the captain and the crew, consisting of five men, were saved. From Montserrat we learn that the sloop Rachel James, from Dominica, laden with coffee and cocoa, bound to Antigua, ran on ashore. Crew and cargo saved; the latter a little damaged. The brig Xarifa, Rey nolds master, from Liverpool, taking in produce, rode out the gale with two anchors, pitching and rolling very heavily during the gale. The sloop Regulator, of Antigua, put to sea during the gale and has not since been heard of. A vessel was passtal stranded at Itosseau, in Dominica, by the schooner Fortitude, from Berbadoes, bound to Antigua. In St. Lucia the effect of the hurricane was fright. ful, and the sea rose to a tremendous height, threaten ing to engulf the city of Castries, a great part of which was submerged. The damage, however, on shore was not extensive, although several of the shore craft were destroyed, yet the shipping weathered the storm with only slight injury. A shock of earth quake had been felt in the island. The heat of the weather was intense. At Martinique several accidents befell the ship ping in port. The British brig Chedibucto was stranded. In Dominica the schooner Cherub went on shore, but will probably be got off again. The eruption of the volcanic mountains in Mar tinique still continued. The town of Preeheur wets entirely deserted, and all the surrounding plantations were covered with •aahes. Barbadoes and Trinidad escaped the hurricane. Oar Trinidad advices mention that the weather had been rainy, so much so as to have retarded vege tation in certain localities, but generally the young canes were promising. The greater part of the Trinidad coolies were in the city of Port of Spain, claiming either their passage back to the East Indies or a further bounty of fifty dollars, on condition of fulfilling five years of additional agricultural ser vitude in the colony. The working of the postal arrangements had commenced during a grand jubilee celebrated by the Catholic population by command of the Pope. A large monumental cross, 30 feet high, erected for the occasion, was struck by lightning and shattered to pieces. This accident had greatly aroused the superstitious feelings of the population. The crop was over throughout the island, and the amount of produce shipped to date was—sugar, 27,439 hbds., 3,393 tierces, 7,538 barrels, and 10,342 puncheons; cocoa, 4,342,3921b3.; coffee, 61,8611b5. The market was well supplied with all sorts of American provi sions. Pork and lard were much wanted, and there was a great scarcity of white and pitch timber. In Barbadoes the influenza had prevailed to such an extent that the House of Assembly had been unable to meet. We have accounts from British Guiana to the 27th lt. The Court of Policy had held several sittings, and the Government plan relative to the constitution I had been brought forward. Several Bills of much importance to the colony had been passed. The plan for a change of institutions in the colony, as brought forward in the Court of Policy, was gene rally read with satisfaction. The French steamer of war Le Tartare had arrived in the Demerara river, bringing a part of the crew of the shipwrecked barque Choice, 130 days from Seringapatam, bound to Demerara, which vessel had been abandoned by the crew in two boats, one of which was picked up by the French steamer, having parted company with the other one during the night. It is supposed that the longboat, containing the captain and others of the crew, must have perished, as the boat saved had been at sea twelve days. The weather in Demerara bad been showery, and the influenza was very prevalent ; the business of many estates being thrown back in consequence, labourers and employers being alike affected. Busi ness has been very dull. Grenada had shipped up to the Bth ult., 7,532 hhds. of sugar, and there were about 500 more to :Tysah ;o be shipped, which will make the total 8,030 hhds., beingdm tierces, a ams n ,as i il n as c t exports.

Dispatches were received yest,rday at the Colonial office, from the Governors of Hong Kong and Cey— lon ; the Governors of South Australis, Western Australia, and the Mauritius ; from. the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands ;• and from the Governor of Malta. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Yesterday the receipts at the doors amount' d to 28591. 75., the number of visitors being 60,382. A table, showing the arrivals from hour to hour each day, and comple.to from the commencement of the month, is now placed in the transept, and attracts great attention. The folio n ing memorial has been addressed to the Executive Committee by the attendants employed by exhibitors : " The Alecoarial of the undersigned, the Attendants employed in the Great Exhibidon, " Showeth,—That we your memorialists having heard that the Royal Commissioners have &ally closed their sittings, we beg most respectfully to bring to your no tice and consideration the following statement : " That your memorialists aro fully alive to the ar duous duties which the Royal Commissioners and the Executive Committee have had to perform, and the di fficulties with which they have had to contend, so as to give satisfaction to all the exhibitors and others who have so ably come forward to lend their assistance to promote this great work ; but that your memorialists feel assured that this great work could not have been brought to its successful termination without their active co-operation. " That your memorialist having heard that some of the police have been, and that others are about to be re warded for the services they have rendered to the World's Fair, beg most re3pectfally to suggest that some small reward or memento be given to them for the part they have performed, more especially to those employed in the machinery department, many of whom have left their wives and families, and have come from great dis tances to fit up the wondrous machines exhibited by their employers, and have thereby had the expense of two homes to keep, and who have always been found at their posts in an atmosphere varying from 70 to 100 degrees of Fahrenheit, such atmosphere rendered the more prejudicial to their health in consequence of the vapour arising from waste steam and the smell of the anti-attrition compound used in the lubricating of the machinery, and many of the attendants have had serious inroads made upon their constitutions. " That your memorialists (British as well as foreign) are not aware of any complaints ever having been made against any of their body for incivility or other miscon duct, but have always been punctual at their stands, ready, and feeling a pleasure and pride in explaining the wonderful machines and works of art under their care, giving alike to the prince and the peasant every infor mation required by them. " That under the circumstances your memorialists hope that the Executive Committee will use their influ• ence with the ItJyal Commissioners to obtain for us a favourable consideration of this our application, and not allow us to return to our homes, and this great work to pass away, without some small token for the services we have rendered. " And your memorialists will ever pray, &e. CLASS. " 11. ROUSE ... 6 Chairman. "F. T. LAURENCE ... 30 "C. BILSON . `.) " LLOYD . Committee." "T.

"By a superior decree of his Excellency the Cap tain-General, D. Narciso Lopez, who commanded the party of pirates who disembarked, on the morning of the 12th inst., at the point called Las Playitas, lee ward of this capital, is condemned to die by the in famous garrote, and the execution is to take place to morrow, the lit of September, at seven o'clock in the morning. The troops of all arms, of the garrison of this city and of the exterior fortifications, will con gregate in the camp of La Punta, where the scaffold is erected, for the formation of a square. The regi ment of Galicia will occupy the front, with the flog displayed. The other bodies will attend with all their disposable force. The Artillery will take the right, the Engineers \N ill come after, and places will be as signed to the other companies. The Lieutenant Brigadier de Rey de la Plaza, who will command the troops, will appoint the place for the cavalry. lie will have under his orders the officers of the staff of this army, or an equal number of adjutants of the place. " ZURITA." On Monday morning, September 1, at dawn of day, a platform, perhaps 10 feet high, was erected on the flat space opposite the Moro. Projecting up through the platform to a distance of perhaps fine feet was n strong wooden post, 14 inches in diameter. To this was fastened the instrument of death—the garrote. A stool is placed up against the post, on which the prisoner sits, and an iron collar is then clasped round his neck, which fastens him immoveably to the post, and then a screw, having long arms, also attached to the post, is by one turn forced into the neck of the prisoner, producing instant dislocation and death. The troops were assembled at the appointed time, as ludic veil in the order. Just previous to seven o'clock all the American prisoners were brought out and arranged on the Moro, so that they could wit ness the end cf their general. At the fatal hour General Lopez was brought out, and ascended the platform NI NI a firm step. His person was enveloped in a white shroud. The cxe• cutiuner then removed the shroud, and there stood the general in his full military uniform before the as sembled multitude. His appearance was calm, dig nified, and heroic. Not a muscle quivered. He locked upon the preparations for death unmoved ; his countenance changed not, and his whole bearing was firm and manly. The executioner now removed his embroidered coat, his sash, cravat, and all the insignia of his military rank, in token of disgrace. General Lopez, with his hands tightly bound toge ther in front stepped forward, and in a strong, clear, voice, slowly spoke to those around as follows : " I pray the persons who have compromised me to pardon me as I pardon them. My death will not change the destinies of Cuba." The executioner standing a little behind, here in terrupted him in an insulting tone, with " Come, be quick—be quick." General Lopez, turning his head partly round, fixed his eyes on the man, and said sternly, grinding his teeth, " Wait, sir." He then continued — "Adieu, my beloved Cuba! Adieu, my brethren!" The general then stepped back and seated himself on the stool. A priest, with the crucifix and taper, stood on one Fide of him, the executioner on the other. The collar was then placed around the pri soner's neck. The priest now placed the crucifix between the general's hands, and just as he was in the act of inclining his head to kiss it the executioner swung the fatal screw, and the head of the unfortunate man at the same instant dropped forward, touching the crucifix. He never moved again. There sat the body of one of the bravest men that ever drew breath —but a moment ago alive, now a ghastly corpse. The execution was conducted in the most orderly manner, and in perfect silence. No shouting or any other exhibition of applause was manifested. Whe ther this was the result of the news from New Orleans or the express orders of the Captain-General is not known. Immediately after the execution General Lopez' body was taken down and privately interred. Beyond the circulation of the announcement of the execution there was no excitement during the day. Among the relatives of General Lopez in Cuba are his brother-in-law, the Count of Poz , ssdulces, a no bleman of great wealth and high character; Madame Fries, widow of a nobleman of wealth, his sister- in law. He had other near relatives. They all left town previous to the execution, unwilling to be near on such an occasion. General Lopez was 52 years of age. He has a son, 18 years old, studying in S wit zerland. His wife is in Paris. The general was very wealthy, but spent his income as fast as he re ceived it. In this and the previous unfortunate ex pedition he lost very large sums. Narciso Lopez was born of wealthy parents in -Ve nezuela in 1799. He was the only son of his parents that grew to manhood, though he had a number of sisters. His fsther had a commercial house in Ca raccas, a branch of which at Valencia, in the interior, was placed under the charge of Narciso at an early age. During the troubles of 1814 young Lopez sided with the popular party, but afterwards enlisted in the Spanish army when fortune turned in its favour, and at the end of the civil war he was made a colonel when only 23 years of age. After the Spanish army evacuated Venezuela Lopez went to Cuba, where he remained and estab lished himself iu life, soon making himself conspicuous by his advocacy of liberal principles. During the first Carlist troubles he chanced to be in Madrid on private business. Having joined. the Royalist party he was made eide-de-cramp to the Cominander in- Chief, General Valdez, and received several military decorations. He was honoured with several impor tant offices by the Queen, and finally was made Governor of Madrid. Afterwards, as Senator from Seville, be is said to have made the condition of Cuba his especial study, and the expulsion of the Cuban deputies from the Cortes induced him to resign his office atr,l return to the island. Piere he had several posts under the Captain-General ti aldi z. Finally he undertook the re-working of an abandoned copper mine in the central department, where he is said to have employed his time in instilling liberal principles into the minds of the populace. In 1849, when he thought everything was rips for a revolution, he came to the United States and got up the immature and worse than useless attempt at an invasion, known tei the Round Island Expeditio n . I n May, 1850, the famous invasion and sudden eVaCtlii , tion of Cardenas took place. In Atigust 1851 1 he The Rolla naval apprentices' instruction brig, Lieutenant-Commander Fenwick, returned from the chops of the Channel to-day, and came into harbour. The Vulcan iron steamer troop-frigate, Master- Commander Penn, has been undocked to-day and placed alongside the jetty. She got her steam up in the afternoon to try her engines. A poor young man named William Hunt, a smith, whilst putting in a shute through the upper side of this ship yesterday, the two planks upon which he was standing being separated by the shute falling out between them, was thrown into the bottom of the dock, a depth of about 30 feet. When taken to the surgery an extensive fracture was found over the right eye, besides consi derable injury to the bones of the face, which was much disfigured and cut. The same man three or four years ago was obliged to undergo amputation at the surgery of part of his hand from injuries received while on duty. Another accident also happened yesterday in the dockyard to one of the men of Mr—Clark, contractor for some works going on there, who, whilst excavat ing a well, got his right hand entangled amongst the cogs of the wheel, by which means the greater por tion of his hand was torn away. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 23.—The Highflyer screw steam-sloop is having ber boilers put on board, and is to be fitted with engines of 250-horse power by Maudslay, Sons, and Field. The dimensions of this vessel were not given at the time of launching, but the following may be relied upon as correct : Feet. Inches. Length between perpendiculars ... 192 0 for tonnage ... 167 34 Breath moulded ... 35 4 fur tonnage ... 36 0 extreme ... 36 4 Depth in hu:d 22 8 Tons bunion, 1,153 39 94. The Hightlyer is built of wool, and so strongly put together that the authorities here have reported her capable of carrying a very heavy armament, 10 guns on each broadside of large calibre. WRECK OF THE RANDOLPH. Considerable anxiety has recently been excited in respect of the facts of the Randolph, East India trader, Mr. Dale, master, which had been reported to have foundered on ber outward passage to Calcutta, with 300 persons on board. Through the courtesy of the owners, D. Dunbar and Co., of Limehouse, we are in a position to lay before our readers the sub joined details of the catastrophe, by which it will be perceived that the ill-fated vessel was cast ashore on a reef of rocks off the north-east part of the Mauri tius, and although the wreck was not attended with so awful a loss of life as had been stated, yet a great many who were on board perished. The disaster took place on the night of the 25th of July, a day or so after she had taken her departure from Port Louis for Calcutta. She had received on board at that port 250 steerage passengers, natives, consisting of men, women, and children, for Calcutta; also Lieutenant Holland and Ensign Scott, of the 48th Regiment, who occupied the chief cabin. The cargo comprised sugar, rum, and other produce of the island. The wind at the time of the Randolph's leaving was blowing rather fresh. All went well, however, until half-past eleven o'clock at night, when a cry was raised forward of " Breakers a-head," which at once convinced the captain, Mr. Dale, that he was close to a dangerous reef of rocks which run out to sea some two miles off the north end of the island. It should be stated that the night was ex cessively dark, and there were other unfavourable circumstances acting against the ship's progress, but it would seem that she was not so far distant from the coast as the captain anticipated. However, on danger being seen the helm was instantly put hard aport, everything done that human power could suggest in keeping her off the land, but all was of no avail. She drifted in, and struck on the reef with great force. The utter destruction of not only the ship but the lives of all on board being threatened, the crew were directed to cut away the masts, which was speedily effected without injury to any of the many atTrighted creatures who crowded the deck. This succeed in keeping the ship upright for a short time, but the heavy waves soon bilged her, and she fell over on her beam ends. The scene then became one of a painfully distressing character. Men, women, and children were seen hanging to and crawling up the sides of the wreck. Some fell into the surf, and by clinging to fleeting spars preserved themselves, while others were swept away and met with a watery grave. After a night of suffering daylight disclosed their actual position. Laud was observed two miles distant, the space between the wreck and the beach being studded with small, steep, dangerous patches of rock. The captain, who throughout had displayed much presence of mind, consulted with the officers as to the best means to be adopted in preserving the unfortunate creatures, nearly 300 in number, who were on the wreck. The boats happily remained whole and safe. They were lowered, and Mr. Scott, the first officer, Mr. Shand, the second, with some of the seamen, set out to ex amine the position of the rocks, and ascertain whether there was any safe passage between them by which they could land those on board. One course partly practicable was traced to a certain distance whence the shore could be reached by spars and planks thrown across the rock.. Returning to the wreck a difficulty presented itself as to how the passengers could be lowered from their peculiar and dangerous position—. as they had clung to all parts of the ill-fated ship—to the boats. At length two of the sailors took their stand upon the bowsprit, and so let them down one by one by ropes—a tedious and hazardous task, for the vessel was fast breaking up, and the heavy surf roll ing was several times nearly dashing the boats to atoms against the wreck. After much suffering Mr. Dale succeeded in seeing all safely landed, and the chief officer, Mr. Scott, was dispatched to Port Louis, about thirty miles distant, with intelligence of the calamity. In the meanwhile Mr. Dale proceeded to ascertain the number of the missing passengers, as also of the crew, and found that of the former between 20 and 30 had perished, and that two of his crew had also been lost. Among the bodies picked up on that day was that of Ensign Charles H. Scott, of the 48th Regiment. He was in his 21st year, and was the only son of Mr. Charles Scott, surgeon in the Bom bay. The moment the news of the catastrophe reached Port bou!s the Governor forwarded a steamer to the spot, but on its arrival it was found that She could render little service in saving the ship, as it was fast breaking up, and the cargo scattered in all directions. Lloyd's agent at Port Louis, who had made an investigation into the circumstances of the loss, thus writes .—" There can be no doubt that the great loss cf property is caused by the neglect of our Govern ment in u t putting up a lighthouse on that part of the island. Wo, as Lloyd's agents, took advantage of the feeling at the moment and waited on the Go vernment to request them to have a lighthouse forth with erected, without waiting to refer to the home " Office for the Executive Committee, Exhibition Building, Sept. 15, 1851. " Sir,—l am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your communication, and to say that whilst the Execu tive Committee are willing to bear testimony to the useful services of tho attendants of the Exhibition, they have to inform them that the decisions of her Majesty's Commissioners in respect to the award of medals apply only to exhibitors; and that the duo recognition and appreciation of the services of the attendants who were employed by the exhibitors rest with the exhibitors themselves.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " J. WADE. (For M. D. Wyatt, Secretary.) " Mr. H. Rouse (Attendant in Class 6)." We most readily bear testimony to the zeal with which the attendants have discharged their duties; and we trust that, from whatever source it comes, same acknowledgment may be made to them for the important services they have rendered throughout this great undertaking. A memorial has bee❑ presented to the Royal Com mission from the city of Bristol, advocating the ap propriation of the surplus to the scheme of a colle giate institution in London, somewhat resembling the Central School of Arts and Manufactures in The memo: Mists, in strong terms, press upon the attention of the Commission the import ance to our industrial classes of a sound, scientific, and practical education ; and they express their hope that this species of education rnly " not be be con fined to one locality," but rendered as diffusive as possible. Yesterday the mean temperature in the building, according to Bennett's thermometers, was 64.4. REGISTRATIONS. 1 CITY OF LONDON. The court met at ten o'clock yesterday, when Mr. I T. Y. M'Christie, the revising Ibarrister, proceeded to revise the ho use h o ld ers ' lists for the wards of Alder's- Tate Within and Without, Aldgate and Billingsgat e , ;and Bissishaw an d C o l ema n-st'reet. Mr. Fisher Jackson, of 3, Crown -court, was oh- Jected to by Mr. Brown, on the part of the Conserve ' Lives. The parish in which Crown -court stands is St, Botolph, Alderegate, but that description was omitted in the list. Mr. Ledger said the question would arise whether the notice could, in the due course of post, have been served on Mr. Jackson within the prescribed time, namely, by the 25th of August. The notice was ad i dressed to " 52, Crown-court," in consequence of which it had been carried to four distinct Crown courts before it reseed the right party, and then it was not delivered till the 26th. Mr. Brown said the address on the notice corre sponded with that inserted on the list, and the list must always be copied. The REVISIN G BARRISTER said the address must be correctly described on the list. The 100th section of the Act directed that notice should be given at the place of abode described in the list of voters. In this case the notice had been posted in sufficient time to have reached the voter on the 25th of August, had it been taken in due cours e of post to the CrcAwn court in which Mr. Jackson resided, but the acci dent that occasioned its del Ay had rendered it impos sible that it could be delivered within the stated period. The notice was not thereby invalidated, and the description not being correct, he should hold the objection to be good. The vote was expunged. Mr. Anderson, M.P. for Orkney, who was inserted for premises 137, Leadenhall-street, was objected to by Mr. Brown, on the ground that he did not pay the rates for the premises described. Mr. Anderson appeared in person, and said he was a partner in the Peninsular and Oriental Company to the extent of 324 shares, for which he would not take 20,0001. He occupied the premises in Leaden hall-street in connexion with Mr. Wilcox, M.P. for Southampton, the rental being r,ooot. per annum. It was true the business of the company was carried on there, and that the company was collectieely rated, but no shareholder had any right whatever to remaia or sleep et the office except himself, as chairman, and he alone could give permission for any of them to do so. Mr. Smith contended that the company being rated, Mr. Anderson, as a partner of the company, was rated to all intents and purposes. Mr. Brown said, in that case every shareholder must be considered to be rated. Mr. Anderson said he occupied the premises for other purposes, as well as for the transaction of busi• ness connected with the company. The BARRISTER was of opinion that Mr. Andersen was virt ua ll y rate d , an d t h ere f ore overruled the ob j ection. The result of the revision for the two days is as fol lows :—Claims by the Liberals, allowed G ; objections sustained, 212 ; failed, 21. Claims by the Tories, none ; objections sustained, 79 ; failed, 14 ; names expunged by the barrister, 17. Tne Court, having completed the appointed list rose at four o'clock, and adjourned until Friday next. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Yesterday among the ♦isitors at the Mansion-house was Mary Callinack, 84 years of age, who had travelled on foot from Penzance, carrying a basket en her head, with the object of visiting the Exhibition and of paying her respects personally to the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress. As soon as the ordinary business was finished the aged woman entered the justice-room, when the Lord Mayor, addressing her, said, " Well, I under stand, Mrs. Callinack, you have come to see me?" She replied, " Yes; God bless you! I never was in such a place as this. I have come up asking for a •mall sum of money. lam 84." Tho Lord Mayor—" Where do you come from?" Mrs. Callinack—From the Land's-end." The Lord Mayor—" What part?" Mrs. Callinack— " Penzance." She then stated that she left Penzance five weeks ago, and bad been the whole of the time walking to the metropolis. The Lord Mayor—What in duced you to come to London?" Mrs. Callinack— 'I had a little matter to attend to as well as to see the Exhibi tion. I was there yesterday, and mean to go again to morrow." The Lord Mayor—"; What do you think of it?' Mrs. Callinack—" I think it's very good."—(Much laughter.) She then said that all her money WAS spent but sfcl. After a little further conversation, which caused considerable merriment, the Lord Mayor made her a present of a sovereign, telling her to take care of it, there being a good many thieves in London. On re ceiving it the old woman burst into tears, and said, " Now I shall be able to got back." She was afterwards received by the Lady Mayoress, with whom she remained a long time, and having partaken of tea in the house keeper's room returned thanks for the hospitality she had received, and left the Mansion-house for one more visit to the Exhibition before returning to her home. It is probable that if the poor old woman's address were known ample means would be provided by the charitable to enable her to return in comfort to Cornwall. EMIGRATION TO THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES.—. At the present moment, when public attention is so largely directed towards the newly-discovered riches of our Austra • ban colonies, and when so consilerable an increase of emi grants may be anticipated, the exertions of benevolent indi viduala to elevate the character and improve the moral con dition of those leaving their native country eannot be too highly estimated or too warmly supported. During the past two years very active endeavours have been mule by the supporters and promoters of the British Ladies' Female Emigrant Society to afford the fullest possible protection to female emigrants proceeding to the colonies. The objects of the society are described as "to establish homes for the reception, preparation, and instruction of female emigrants previous to their leaving the country; to provide visitation at the ports and means of employment and instruction during the voyage; to secure the appointment of judicious and efficient matrons for the superintendence of the young women throughout the passage; and, finally, to form corre sponding societies in the colonies for the protection and as distance of the immigrants on their arrival." Already it appears by the society's records, much good has been effected in carrying out the objects enumerated, and the necessity of increased exertions in the same philanthropic direction Must be apparent to all acquainted with the dangers and temptations which beset female emigrants. ATROCIOUS CASE OF STABBlNG;—Yesterday James Morgan and John Cokum, two powerfully built fellows, were charged at the Bristol police-court with feloniously cutting and woundiug Peter Dean and Catherine Dean, his wife. The case was one of the most atrocious description. It ap peared from the statement of the male complainant, who had evidently received a severe gash in his head and had his arm bound up, that the previous evening he went to the King's Arms public-house to fetch some beer for his wife, and on his return home met the two prisoners near his own house, one of whom made a grasp at the can. Witness resisted, when one of the men struck him in the head with some sharp weapon ; the other prisoner also stabbed him with a knife in the arm. His cries brought out his wife to his assistance, and he saw one of the prisoners stab at her. He then fell to the ground senseless, and when he recovered found himself all covered with blood, andh r i e s wife senseless takento beside him, bleeding profusely. They were the Bristol Infirmary immediately, where their wounds were dressed. Mrs. Dean, it appears, was even more seriously in jured than her husband , and a certificate fro m Mr. Morgan, one of the surgeons at the infirmary was put in, stating th a t she would be unable, without danger to her life, to attend before the magistrate and give evidence, Under these cir cumstances both prisoners were remanded to await the result of their ferocious violence. The weekly reviews of the Amsterdam and Rot terdam produce-markets state that very little change had occurred in prices. Not much was doing in coffee, but. previous • qudtations were supported. Sugar remained-un altered, and indigo was, if anything, rather firmer. The accounts from Hambargh s and Antwerp speak of general L WACtIYitY.. BLOOMER. The success of last week's experiment has encou raged the managers of the Literary Institution, in John-street, Fitzroy-square, to afford their sub scribers and the public another intellectual treat. Mrs. Dexter last night re-appeared upon their boards in trowsers, to advocate the universal abolikon of pet ticoats—in her own words, "to deliver an address to the women of London in favour of the Reformed Dress movement." The attendance was numerous, as might have been expected, and this time there was no escaping the twopences. Men were placed inside and outside the door to regulate the admittance, and, thanks to this double sentry insisting on the fee, a great sum must have been collected for the advance ment of science before the pioneer of female progress commenced her exhortation to the fair sex. By that time the hall and galleries were crowded, principally of course, with men ; on the platform, however, were a party of women, almost persuaded perhaps, but still adhering to the costume of their mothers ; and even amongst the general audience not a few females were to be seen. 13loomerisin had evidently excited curiosity if it had not made converts. Mrs. Dexter, of course, illustrated her doctrines by presenting herself to her audience in the apparel, which, if she accomplishes her mission, all ladies are henceturth to wear. We have already done our best to describe it. The material is black satin; the pecu liarity, trowsers ; the general effect, something be tween the popular notion of Turkish and the minor theatrical conception of a page clothed as tbese young gentlemen were at an indefinite period during the middle or " dock" ages. As to the lecture, it "let well alone," being simply a repetition of that given last week, with a few ampli fications and additions arising ott of subsequent events. For instance, the Queen's recent ascent of Lochnagar, as recorded in the Court Circular, afforded admirable ground fur an inquiry whether her Miijesty would not hare felt the convenience of trowsers and a short skirt in her progress. Lord 34afcesbury, too, who at Mrs. Coi:diohn's group meeting of colonists did unfortunately introduce the topic of Bloomerism, in pursuit of a new figure of speech, was copiously quoted; and, in a parenthesis, female emigrants were especially recom men d e d not to import the error of drapery into the countries they intended to colonise. There remained still one subject to he treated—the opinions of the press. Upon what Thackeray calls " the Corporation of the Goosequili" Mrs. Dexter was rather severe. She did not complain of its reports,whicb, though necessarily abbreviated, were, on the whole, fair, whilst as to its praise or censures she was equally indifferent. She had defined the secret of editorial silence—wise oblivion. " The conductors of the press did not yet know what might be the feeling of the British public; therefore they were afraid of com mitting themselves." It is only candid to state that this solution was perfectly satisfactory to the audience, they could conceive no reason why, when the author of " Sartor Resortus" is treated so respectfully, a more practical exponent of the philosophy of clothes should not, as soon as recognized, become the common topic of leading articles. Literature, w e confess, is con victed of neglect of Mrs. Dexter. Tier condemnation of temporising journalism waiting for the suffrage of the people was received by an enlightened audience, members of a scientific institution, with roar , of ap probation. Ought we to apologise ? Like all prac tised orators, Mrs. Dexter d rew up at a climax. Placing upon her head a hat similar in style to those usually worn by the Adelphi haymakers, with jue enough veil upon it to hide no part of her face, she bowed gracefully to the public, and retired in the very midst of the thunders of applause which a respectful but determined defiance of everybody, coupled with a promise of consistency in the advocacy and persever' once in the wearing of trowsers, had been the very natural and efficient means of producing.—lllorning Paper. As regards the general position of business, the feeling yesterday in the City was very satisfactory. Money, apparently, is becoming more easy, and the continued re ; ports of large and steady transactions at Manchester, and of full employment throughout the provinces generally, create a degree of confiden ce , w hi c h prom i ses well for the approa4a mg winter. It is seen, also, that the abundant harvest and other causes warrant an anticipation of a steady increase during the next few months of the bullion in the Bank of England. This increase is likely to be derived . from two sources—importations from abroad, and the liberation of part of the large quantity at present in the hands of the public. The existing note circulation is precisely equal to what it was at the corresponding period of last year, when the Bank rate of interest was 254 per cent., and when coLton was 30 to 40 per cent. above its present price, with prodetce of most other descriptions comparatively high. Con trasted with September, 1849, it shows an excess of 1,500,000/. After the close of the Exhibition, there fore, the return of a considerable amount of coin is not im probable. At the same time, while the total is clear bullion i s now higher than at any period since January, it clear that not only is the drain from the Continen!, and the Bast, which has so long counteracted the large receipts from New York, terminated, but that France, Holland, and Belgium m ay furnish henceforth some additions to our supply. Th e dura tion of this eondition of affairs will be promoted, moreover, by the low prices of most articles of import, which are likely for some months to discourage foreign shippers. Under these circumstances, as the internal prosperity of the country is certain to cause a continuance of the stead y consumption of articles of food and luxury , while a diminution in the demand for breadstuff2 may relatively increase that for other neoes series, there is every reason to hope that any large stocks now hanging over the produce markets may be gradually disposed gras,a tio of n owt theitho without a e v v y e n losg el with occasioning ithvih in ich ecthrateit speculations nagg ons have been attended.— Times.

The whole, comprising most sorts of both black and green kinds, went at full market rates. The Hon.

It is found to thrive equally well at heights ranging from 2,200 feet above the level of the sea to 6,000. The com pany have many tea farms, each containing from 200 to 400 acres.
