But to lay aside joking, my dear Cure, I ask you now seriously, if you can still, with. out blushing, expect me to embrace a religion where everything is made a question of money? a religion which makes me pay for my birth, pay for my com munion, pay for my sitting, pay for eating, pay for being married, pay for my torgtveness, pay to live, pay to die, and still p a y after 1 am dead and buried ? a church where, a t every step, I see the hand of the priest held out to crave a penny ? Can I recognise in this trade in sacraments ; in the traffic of sins can celled; by penance ; penances excused by indulgences t indulgences purchased by money ; th e re li g i on of Jesus Christ, who commanded his disciples -to have but one staff and one coat ? Can I recognise in this bank of masses for the faithful, saleable at the office of the parish priest, who puts them in his portfolio, and advertises them at half price in the villages, can I there discover the religion of Him who had not where to lay his bead, and whose kingdom;was not of this world ? Are you not the fait ful suc cessors of those buyers and sellers whom Jesus Christ drove out of the temple in Jerusalem, saying —" My house is a house of prayer, but , you have made it a den of thieves? " This Jesus, who over threw the tables of the money-changers, will he not overturn these boxes hung at every pillar of your churches ? If be drove out the dealers in oxen, and sheep, and doves, will he not drive out your dealers in chairs ? If he condemned the Pharisees, who made their alms to be seen of men, will he not condemn you, compel your worshippers to act the Pharisee, sending round fine-dressed women to collect the offerings, and then putting into your pockets what has been "extorted by pride and not charity ? And what have been the fruits of this infamous traffic in holy things? You have become rich, I know —but you have dishonoured religion by making it contemptible. The moat simple minded of your parishioners cry in every corner of the streets, when you listen, that you understand your trade—that there is only room for the rich in your paradise—that you are worse than thos e iniquitous judges, of whom it was said that their go!den key opened every door; for amongst you the golden key opens heaven itself. Your covetousness has ruined the people's faith—your embitien has extinguished their piety ; and if the people give more credit at this day to Vol taire than to God, you must blame yourselves. Where will you find in the New Testament a single word to authorise all this ecclesiastical medley ? Nowhere. Therefore you prohibit the reading of this Holy Book; fer you know it is written " Woe unto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and fur a pretence make long prayer ; therefore ye shall receive the greater condemnation ;" you know that it is told 115 therein, that Simon, the magician, desiring to buy the gift of the Holy Spirit, Saint Peter said to him : " Thy money perish with thee," &c. You who call yourselves successors of the apostle Peter should follow his example, and give this answer to those who bring their money for the mass. But let us Rave this, my dear Cure. I have spoken to you with some warmth ; because it is impossible for an honest mind not to feel indignation at __the thought of an abuse so dishonourable to our holy re ligion, and not to sigh over the awful consequences which must ensue. It has not been my purpose to ir ritate and confound you, but to enlighten'your mind, and be useful to you. I love to think that you and many other . ecclesiastics in the Romish communion are upright men who have only been drawn into it by example ancl.custona. Believe me._then, if you would revive religion in the spirit of your parishioners, alter'your course—trust in the promises of the Sa viour—" Seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness ; and all these things shall be added unto you." When people see you practising your self the self-denial you preach, then they will be con vinced, for your actions will give weight to your instructions. It you have not sufficient faith to rely on this promise of your Divine Master, if you have not in your heart enough love for men to be disin terested—go and seek this faith by reading the New Testament ; go and search for this love in the ex ample of Jesus Christ. Then you will see that Christ died for you, and that He gives eternal life to all who believe on Him ; and when you believe this great truth with your whole heart, be assured that it will be easy for you to love in your turn, and to despise the riches of this life, having your affections set on things above. Read the New Testament-- the book in which God himself speaks—and you will see that the leading principle of the Gospel is diame trically opposed to that of your Church. According to you, everything is bought, ac cording to the Gospel, everything is given—sal vation is freely bestowed. Saint Paul says : "By grace are ye saved through faith ; and that not of yourselves :it is the gift of God." The Holy Spirit is a free gift. Jesus Christ says—" God will give the Spirit to those who ask it." The f org i v eness of s .e n is free • for Jesus Christ grants it, not according to our works, but according to our faith. He does not say, " Toy money or thy penitence have saved three ;" but simply, " Thy faith bath saved thee." d ea r Cure ; we are too miserable and poor t Y o e m s' n ak )Y e s atisfaction to God. He declares that there is not amongst us one who is righteous ; but when he has thoroughly convinced us of sin, He says : " Re ceive freely." " Come without money and _without price." " Ged so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten San, that whosoever believetia in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." And you, dear reader of this little tract, beware of throwing upon Christianity the blame or that selfish ness which belongs only to Popery. Do not confound things so totally unlike as the religion of the Pope and the religion of Jesus Christ. The one is of man —the other is of God. Men may deceive you, and de ceive themselves; hut that does not prove that God is ignorant or false. Therefore let go all that proceeds from man ; but cordially embrace all that comes from God. Whatever is from Him is contained in the Bible especially in the New Testament, which brings the glad tidings of a free and full salvation to every one who believes in Jesus. - _ - - • tra ! , '4 /.. 17 3 c 97 1 7, - era AUG UST 19 1851 4 0 , 5 N ° . 18,379 L ONDO N.

The difficulty of securing an exact fit from a stock of ready made clothing is often a cause of complaint with the public, arising from the want of a sufficient variety of sizes. Every obstacle, however, In this respect, is entirely removed by HYAM and CO., whose Stock of Clothing for immediate wear is so varied in size and make, as to ensure a perfect adaptation to personal peculiarities. It is not the practice of HYAM arid CO. to retain the stale stock of past seasons (as is often the case), a practice which is rendered im possible, from the circumstance of the enormous sales which the articles of lIYAM and CO. continually command. The best, the most extensive, and the cheapest assortment of Gentlemen's and Youth's Dress is, beyond question, that of HYAM and CO. Where a person, through limited means, was obliged to confine him self to one suit, he can now assume two suits a season ; and if any doubt of this assertion ba at all entertainei, an inspection and com parison of prices will at once remove it. For extent, variety, no velty, quality, and cheapness, the Sale Department of lIYAM and CO. is pre-eminently superior to any and every other establishment In the trade. Observe !

The following testimonial is another proof of the great efll. cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, Octo' , er 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S G ,- )LIT and RIIEUNIATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate; having served in Canada in the 19:h Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured toe best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by th se who know some thins; of this disease. " It was during one of thcre paroxysm}, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I log no tine i i procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect beali h. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoins of the dis ea,e approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, tha' were it not that the days of manic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, bat on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR S PILLS Is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, "GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand."

Economist. RAILWAY-INTELLIGENCE. YOR ANA -NO;TH MIDLAND. The directors of this company have just issued their half-yearly report to be submitted to the proprietors on Tuesday, the 26th inst. It states that 3,004,821/. had been received to the 30th of June on consolidated stock, 613,233/. on preference shares, and 1,523,5231. on debentures, making the total capital entitled to dividend or interest, in addition to rent and interest of bonds of .Hull and Selby Railway, 5,141,5771. The expenditure on capital account during the half-year has been 96,303/., namely-39,5621. in discharge of arrears, 32,708/. on works in progress when the pre sent directors took office, and 13,1001. on works un dertaken by the present board. In addition to the above patents, 4,2471. is charged for new waggons, 3,480/. for new carriages, and 3,204/. for increased weight of materials used in relaying por tions of the Leeds and Selby and York and Norman ton lines. 'Tie most expensive works undertaken by the present boatd have been at Marsh-lane, Leeds; the amount expended in previous half-years having been 4,3311. •and the estimate for their completion about 8,000/., the whole expenditure will probably reach 11,1001. The proprietors may rest assured that the directors will'iecommend no fresh expenditure without a Itkorpugli conviction on their part that a large interest Wit .E 1 obtained on the outlay. The receipts ft `refl, e. in half-year ending the 30th o(June last Irlge been 178,8 i 6/., thus showing an increase of 4,088/. over the corresponding six months in 1850. There are good reasons for believing that this increase would have been greater had not the attraction of the Crystal Palace produced such an universal.desire to visit the metropolis, that Scarbo rough, Harrogate, and the other watering places of the district, have been comparatively neglected ; and the low rate of the excursion fares to London has rendered it nearly impracticable to get up excursion trips in any other direction, while as the London traf fic passes over so short a proportion of the lines of this company it by no means compensates for that which it has taken away. This view is corroborated by the fact that the net receipts from excursion trips from June the 21 to August the 11th, 1850, were 4,214/., while those between June the Ist and August the 10th, 1851, amounted only to 2,3171.; and that the receipts from passenger traffic during the first four months of 1851 showed an increase of 2,4561. above the same months of 1850, while those during June and July last were 2,488/, less than in the June and July, 1850. The disposable balance, after payment of 46,385/ for rent of the Hull and Selby Railway and interest on the preference shares, amounts to 15,511/., out of which the directors recommend that ,1 dividend be declared after the rate of 11. per cent. per annum (deducting income-tax) on the consoli dated stock of the company ; after payment of which balance of 3971. will remain to be carried to the credit of the current half-year. The directors, after giving their best attention to the Rolling Stock Renewal Fund, have unanimously agreed to recommend to the proprietors that the plan tempo. rarity adored, of setting aside annually a sum for the renewal of rolling stock shall no longer be con tinued, but that every description of this stock shall in future be maintained out of the current revenue in a state of complete efficiency. After paying for four new engines and tenders, and some other articles re fitted, there will still remain a small balance to the credit of this fund, and this balance it is proposed to retain to the credit of rolling stock, and to increase it by the proceeds of 17 old engines, whenever they can be disposed of on reasonable terms. Those en gines form part of the 27 which the Committee of Investigation recommended should be parted with, and the proceeds appropriated to the purchase of new engines. Some of these have been sold, and the re mainder have appeared in the regular return of the company's working stock. It is now proposed that they shall be held to the credit of the renewal fund, which will reduce the number of engines appearing In the return to 110, and of the tenders to 100; it being thought desirable that no stock should be in cluded in the half-yearly statements which is not in a serviceable state. The East and West Yorkshire line has been worked by this company since the Ist of July last. The advantages of-possessing this line, in a defensive point of view, are very evident, and the traffic on it is increasing; but no estimate can be fortned , ot its capabilities until a communication has been opened with the Leeds and Thirak Railway at Starbeck, respecting which terms have been arranged and will be immediately brought into operation. The capital account shows that 5,141,5771. had been received to the 30th of June, and 5,106,1621. ex pended, leaving a balance of 35,4151. The York and North Midland mortgage debt account shows a total of 1,523,5231., of which 468,928/. was borrowed at 5 per cent.; 615 ; 605/. at 4f per cent., 278,1001. at 4- 1 , 1 oer cent., and 161,430/. at 4 per cent. The Hull and ' Selby mortgage debt shows a total of 167,881/., of which 65,6411. was borrowed at 5 per cent., 46,1001. at 4,-I t per cent., 30,0001. at 41 per cent., 18,0501. at 4 per cent., and 8,000/. at 3: 1 1 per cent. The stock and share account shows that the com pany is authorised to raise 6,295,0001., viz., 4 721,2501. on shares, and 1,573,750/. on loan. The revenue account for the half-year ending June 30 states that 191,0931. was received, including 5,1941. from the last account ; and 86,548/. expended, in cluding 5,6721. for rates and taxes and 2,710/. for Go vernment duty, leaving a balance, out of which is deducted 39,142/. for interest on mortgage bonds and 49,8901. interest and dividend on preference shares, leaving a disposable balance of 15,5111. The re newal of permanent way fund shows a total of 38,612/., of which 12,8421. was expended during the half-year, leaving a balance of 25,7701. The renewal of rolling stock fund shows a total of 11,0331., of which 10,3811. was expended during the half-year, leaving a balance of 6521. LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT. The half-yearly report states that nine months have elapsed since the completion of the railway from Southport to Kirkdale. The traffic has, to a certain extent, in common with other lines similarly situated, oeen affected by the extraordinary influx of visitors attracted this year to the metropolis. The terminus of the line has been since the last meeting extended to Chapel-street, Southport, by which the advantages of a central and convenient station tre secured. The works are sufficiently advanced to allow of the station being used for traffic, but are not entirely completed. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company work the traffic by agreement over the Southport Railway, retaining as their proportion, in respect of their mileage between Liverpool and Kirkdale, one half of all fares for a less distance than six miles on the Southport line, and a sum equal to a six miles' toll on their own line on all traffic carried beyond that distance. The balance to the credit of revenue amounts to 3,9181., out of which the directors recom mend the payment of a dividend, clear of income-tax, at the rate of 2 per cent. for the half-year on the paid-up capital. The directors consider the working agreement with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Com pany renders a reserve fund unnecessary. immediately. The directors have made compro mises with various parties in arrear of calls, by discharging them of their obligations on giving up the shares, and receiving payment of various sums as penalties. By this means, as well as by forfeiture, the company have got possession of shares to the amount of 72,5821., on which they have received payments to the amount of 15,631/. The directors recommend that these shares he cancelled, thereby reducing the capital by the above amount of 72,582/. With the exception of the works autho rized by the new Bill, there is now very little to be done on the line. The engineer reports that all the works contracted for are nearly completed, and that the whole of them are in a very satisfactory state. The contractors' claims have been nearly all adjusted; there being now only seven to be settled. The capi tal account shows the total receipts up to the 31st of July to amount to 4,386,3881., including 2,573,333/. received on ordinary stock, 599,090/. on preference stock, 856,8631. on loans, and 336,131/. obtained from bankers and others on various securities. The expenditure amounted to 4,274,766/. ; and there still remain arrears of calls, 101,468/. ; and balance of bond on Halbeath Railway, 10,153/. The revenue account states that the receipts during the past half year amounted to 93,271/., and the expenditure, in cluding interest on loans, to 73,415/., leaving a ba lance of 19,856/. The length of the line now open is 149 miles. The passenger traffic for the half-year produced 40,842/. as against 39,304/., and the goods traffic 43,252/. as against 43,189/. in the correspond ing period of 1850. [PRICE SD. THE RELIGION OF MONEY. (Translated from the French of Napoleon Roussel.) A rich Scotchman, weary of the cloudy and cold climate of the North, bad come to sojourn in one of the smiling villages on the banks of the Loire. There he dwelt happily in the bosom of a large family, finding his satisfaction in promoting the com fort of the poor around him, as far as his ample for tune would permit. The country folks were, of u n praise, and often observed th a t t hi s heret i c, as t h e curate called him, gave more i n c h ar i ty than t h e r s s e , p u loud t together. in amount of all the parish collection s The curate was afraid that this generous conduct would win the hearts of the people towards this Protestant, and by degrees alienate them from the Holy Catholic Church. He undertook, therefore, to prove from the pulpit that all the heretics, Cal vanists, and Lutherans are condemned to everlast ing flames. But he well knew that none of his ar guments would he so powerful with his parishioners as the liberality of the foreigner; he determined, therefore, to change his course, and root out the evil at once. In order to fulfil his purpose, he de termined to convert the Scotchman to the Mother Church. lie sought, therefore, opportunities of in tercourse, and did not hesitate to warn him of his danger, and earnestly besought him to enter that Church, out of which there is said to be no salvation. The foreigner, from one cause or another, was a long time before he took up the subject. At last, as they were walking one day in his garden, by the side of the river, our cure resumed the usual topic, and was agreeably surprised to hear him, on this occasion, answer, with a friendlly smile— " Very well, my clear friend, let me hear then, a little about your religion, that I may rightly under stand it. Stay ; let us sit down here," added he, pointing to a beautiful green bank, " and talk to gether. It is still early ; the sun is rising ; all is peaceful ; we have nothing to fear from interruption. Tell me, then, according to the Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church, what must I do to be ssved ?" The Cure—First of all, you must be baptized. Milord—And how much will it cost to be bap tized ? The Cure—lt depends upon the generosity of the godfather. The fixed price, however, is 45 sous. Milord—Very well. But once baptized, what must be done then ? The Cure—As soon as the child attains the proper age he must be admitted to the first com munion. Alilord—And how much does it cost to make the first communion ? The Cure—lt will depend on your generosity ; and — Milord—lt is, of course, nothing to me ; but I merely ask, what is the sum usually paid by your young villagers ? The Cure—Alas! sometimes only a wax candle, scarcely three francs and ten sous. Milord—Very well : forty-five sous to be bap tizA, three franca and ten sous for the first commu nion. Go on. What must be done next, in order to be saved ? The Cure—You must fast during the vigils in Etub:r weeks; take no meat on Fridays and Satur days, and during L?nt. Milord—But I must tell you that we English are great eaters, especially of animal food; so that it would be to me a very painful matter to fast and live upon broth. And my health— The Cure—Oh! sooner than your health should suffer, we can dispense with fasts, &c. I can give you the recent example of the Pope, who, to reward a faithful Catholic who had given him a tiara worth 6,000 francs, accorded to him on parchment, grants signed, sealed, and delivered, exempting him and his descendants from fasts so long as the world lasts. LTlilord—l do not question it ; but I have no tiara to bestow. I ask you, then, what is ordinarily given to procure exemption during Lent ? The Cure—A crown of slic francs. Milord—And, for the fifty-two Fridays and Satur days, at the same rate ? The Cure—Of course. Milord—lt amounts, then, to about fifteen francs per annum, besides the six francafor Lent : amounting altogether to twenty-one francs. The Cure—You forget the fasts. Milord—You are right. We must add ten francs more to be excused from the fas:s, an , l Lent ; that makes thirty-one francs. Let -a:- see : forty-five sous for the baptism, three francs ten sous for communion. Thirty-one francs for fasts, maigre, Stc.! Proceed. What more does your Church require ? The Cure—To attend mass every Sunday. Milford —And what does it cost to be properly ac commodated at the mass ? The Cure—You can hire a comfortable seat in the choir for fifteen francs, or the verger can give you a chair every Sunday morning for one sous, except on the principal feast days, and then she would expect two or three sous. Milord—That is fair. On these days the people are more eager to be at church ; it is, therefore, right to facilitate their admission by raising the price of the seats. Therefore we will say one sous each Sun day, which is fifty-two by the year. I reckon ten sous for chairs at the special feasts ; this amounts to three francs two sous yearly. What more is wanted ? The Cure—You must confess once a year at least. I will give you absolution for your sins, and you will only have to make up the penance imposed ; for instance, to repeat fifty Paternosters and fifty Ave Mari as. Milord—But if, by chance, I forgot to repeat my Ave Marias and Paternosters, and, after a number of these admissions, it became impossible to fetch up the arrears, then I could not expect to be saved? The Cure —Ah ! but you would have recourse to the indulgence box to do away with such sins. Milord—And what is put into the box for indul genres ? The Cure—Money. Milord—But how much ? The Cure—We do not know what is given by each worshipper, but we find there some gold, some silver, many pence, and more farthings. Milord—Very well. I should adopt the middle course ; and so I will set down twelve francs for my fines. But as it regards these boxes, I have observed several in your church ; and I should like to under stand what is put into them ? The Cure—Money. Milord—What is the purpose of the one against the first pillar to the left ? The Cure—Money for the repairs of the church. Milord—And the box to the right ? The Cure—Money for permission to have butter and milk during Lent. Milord—And what have you in the box facing the pulpit ? The Cure—Money for the small seminary. .Milord—And what in the other ? The Cure—Money for the Holy Chapel of the Virgin. Milord—And in the other ? The Cure—Money for public worship, Milord—lt is very well explained. But, to pro ceed : what else must be done ? The Cure—On the bed of death a good Catholic must receive extreme unction. Milord—And what is the fee for that ? The Cure—Nothing. Milord—How, notling! Hardly possible ? The Cure—Why, you see, when a man receives extreme unction be is not far from death, and then comes the interment. ,_,....„...,_ Milord—Ah ! I understand. It is all paid together, How much, then, does the whole funeral cost ? The Cure—Oh! it is impossible to give you a precise answer. It depends on the number of priests who are wanted. These are twenty francs each. Then, if the large cross is borne at the head of the procession, it is fifteen francs more. If the one in gold is required, it is fifty. With the Swiss, twenty five more. ' We have also funeral palls, coarser or finer, more or less rich, and therefore more or less expensive. You may also have the old people from the almshouses, and the young girls from the orphan asylum ; the order of white or black penitents, whichever you please. You may estimate burial costs from fifteen francs to a thousand crowns. I.filord—l thank you for all your information, but I merely want to know the ordinary expense. The Cure—Very well. You could not do without o ne priest, two ecclesia e tic s , an d o ne cross. Accord ing 4 to this arrangement you may be bur led for 2 francs. Milord—And, with all these costs, I should be sure of Paradise ? The Cure—No; but in all probability you will go to purgatory. Milord—To purgatory ! But, if so, you have not saved me, for you cannot come to deliver me from thence. The Cure —In that you are mistaken. You h ave by your will that masses s h a ll b e only to leave orde rs repeated for you , so that you may be taken fr om pur gatory to Paradise. Milord —I understand. And how muc h d oes a mass for the dead cost ? The Cure—Thirty sous. Milord—And how many masses will be wanted ? The Cure—l cannot exactly t e ll , but the more m asses you appoint the grcater chance there is of a speedy deliverance from this place of torment. Milord—l see.

The inquiry on the bills of indictment charging the traversers with feloniously and maliciously plac ing obstructions on this railway, thereby endangering the lives of the public, and which occasioned the re cent riot on the line, was brought, after three days' proceedings, to a close on Friday, before Chief Baron Pigott. Tne affair, it will be remembered, arose out of a dispute between the contractors and the railway company, and has terminated in a verdict by the jury of acquittal for all the traversers, the Chief Baron ad ministering a reprimand to the men, and cautioning them not to act so recklessly under the advice of others in future. BEDFORD AND GREAT NORTHERN. A new railway to connect Bedford with the Great Northern and Eastern district, 71- miles long, is pro posed to run from Bedford into the Great Northern Railway at Sandy, and at a meeting just held at Bed ford resolutions were proposed to promote it. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. COMMODORE LORD JOHN HAY.—We regret to find that this noble and gallant officer, who was joined by his brother, the Marquis of Tweeddale, was much worse on Sunday, having passed an extremely restless night. _ _ - Diligence transport, Mr. Mitchall commander, is alongside Deptford yard shipping stores for Bermuda. Torch steam-vessel, in dock at Deptford, being prepared for commission, is having her bottom payed over with Peacock's composition. Resistance, 10, troop ship, Master-Commander Ilanser Bradshaw, arrived at Deptford yard on Friday, to ship stores for Malta. CAPTAIN SPALDING (ROYAL MARINES) AND THE DRUMMER.—The inquiry into the alleged punishment of the drummer, on recruiting service at Yeovil, by Capt. Spalding, has resulted in the " private repri mand" of the officer. Captain Wright, with two sergeants, two corporals, and sixty-one privates, of the Plymouth diviiion of Royal M%rinas, took passage from that port in the Company's steam-ship Prussian Eagle, to join the Ajax steam-ship, Capt. Richard Quin, on the Irish station, relieving the Marine Artillery at present on board, who rejoin head-quarters at Portsmouth. , THE LOSS OF HER MAJESTY S STEAMER REYNAED. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The following is an extract of a letter from an officer of this ship : " Hong-Kong, June 22.—As bad news flies fast you will have, doubtless, before this reaches you, heard of the total loss of her Majesty's steamer Reynard on the Pra'a Shoal in the middle of the China Sea. She struck at 4.15 P.m. on the 31st of May, going at the rate of about 3i knots, at which time by the reckoning (excellent sights having been obtained at 4.30 P.M. the previous afternoon) she was more than 29 miles from the reefs! The conduct of the ship's company was beyond all praise. Two days on raw pork and a small lot of rum, and a night on a raft up to the knees in water, and the prospect of a fortnight's detention on a desolate tropical island where water was scanty and brackish, and boobies almost the only food, did not damp their spirits for an instant. With the exception of the chronometers and a few instruments we have lost everything ; cut if our reputation is safe what matters the loss of worldly goods? This a court-martial will decide, I trust, ere long, for to bit kept in this state of suspence is dreadful. In the meantime we are awaiting on board the Minden the decision of the Commander-in-Chief as to our disposal, which we cannot know until the middle of August. A pleasant prospect ! We can scarcely realize the full extent of the calamity yet, though in common with all hands, I feel the blow heavily. All our curiosities (collec tions made in parts of China where no ship had ever before been)—bricks from the Great Wall, the pro. ductions of Loo Choo and Formosa, souvenirs for our friends—all are gone ! But we ought to be truly thankful to a merciful Providence that the lives of all were saved, and that not a single casualty took place. We have met with much kindness here—al most every house open to us, and offers of any quan tity of clothing, &c. By the way, among the few things saved was the Seaman and Marines' Orphan School box, which, if the Peninsular and Oriental Company will allow to go free, will be sent home by the mail. There is a good sum in it, which the en dowment fund will be glad of." Mr. R. T. C. Scott, surgeon of the flag-ship Heat ingo, has been superseded at his own request by Ad miralty order, and was to have taken passage home in the Rey nard. Mr. Patrick Digan, senior assistant-surgeon of the Hastings, has been appointed acting-surgeon of the Cleopatra, vice Haire, invalided. The Myrmidon iron steam-vessel, Lieutenant- Commander Jolitre, sailed from Spitbead to-day for the coast of Africa, calling at Devonport. The Odin steam-frigate, 16, was commissioned this morning pro tern. by Commander Sir William Wise man, ot* the Excellent, to carry the British Ambas sador to St. Petersburgh. The Vixen steam-sloop has been out to-day to try her engines. The Port Admiral's yacht Fanny, Master-Com mander Scarlett, which was struck and damaged by lightning lately, was taken out of dock refitted this afternoon. THE ARMAMENT AND SPARS OF HER MAJESTY'S SCREW-FRIGATE DAUNTLES3.—We have all along contended that this ship—a purely experimental ves sel—has been fitted out with the least possible judg ment, and the experience of six months' cruising has confirmed our opinion. We are very glad, however, to find that considerable alterations are to be made in this ship. Instead of her having 24 guns, and those of 56 cwt., 32-pounders on the lower deck through out, she is to have an armament of 31 guns, namely, 18 fifty-two cwt. 68-pounders and 2 thirty-two 56 cwt. guns on the main deck, and 10 thirty-two pounders 45 cwt. on the upper deck, with an 8-inch 95 cwt. pivot gun on the forecastle. Such a ship as the Dauntless can well fight at short distances, so that she does not need guns of so long a range as a paddle wheel steamer. In fact, the Dauntless being a full powered screw steamer can always choose her own distance whenever she may be required to fight her shotted guns. She is also to have some of her spars replaced, co that she will be enabled to spread 4,000 feet of canvas more than on her last cruise. We are sorry to hear, however, that with this addition to her armament and increased spars, she is only ordered to have an addition of 30 men to her complement. It is well known that the Commodore at Lisbon was compelled to draft some 30 or 40 supernumeraries on board the Dauntless to do the ordinary work of a than-of .war. What a farce, therefore, it is to add only 30 men to her complement, when there is so much more necessity for additional seamen. It is very clear that the Dauntless should not go to sea with a less complement than that of a 36-gun frigate, 350 officers and men.—Herald. About nine o'clock on Sunday night, as a person named Bloomfield was passing Hytho Church, Colchester, he heard a loud knocking inside, and on going to the door whence the noise proceeded discovered that some one was incarcerated in the edifice. He communicated the circum stance to the parish clerk, who immediately came with his huge bunch of keys, and, unlocking the ch,or, gave speedy egre, , 3 to a lad 14 or 15 years of age, named Elijah Martin, who had just discovered his aw kward situation by awaking up from a deep sleep into which he had fallen during the hours of service.—Chelmsford Chronicle GLASGOW. —It may be interesting to our readers to learn that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent does not leave Brodick until Mo nda y morning, when she returns by Ardrossan, and from thence per Bpecial train on the Glasgow and South -Western Railway. We understand that a number ot individuals have gone down to Arran in the hope of seeing her Royal Highness, and we have no doubt that the popula tion of the island will be considerably increased on Saturday, as return tickets are issued by the railway company to Ardrossan and back at a cheap rate.—North British Natl. NORTH BRITISH. It appears from tee report of the directors to be I submitted to the proprietors at the half-yearly meeting on Thursday next, that after making all deductions from the traffic receipts there remains a free revenue of 19,8561., of which 17,7161. is required for the dividends on the guaranteed stock, leaving a balance of 2,1401, which the directors recommend should be carried to the credit of the next half-year's account. Since the last meeting the Bill for the enlargement of the Edinburgh station and other purposes has received the Royal ;Assent. The sums which the company a re authorized to raise under that Act are, by shares 330,5001., and by loans 110,1601., together 440,6601. ; and the shareholders may at any general meeting, specially convened for the purpose, guarantee such amount of interest or dividend, not exceeding 5 per cent. per annum, and attach such other privileges with respect to preference as may be agreed upon at such meeting. Such preference, or priority, IF, however, in no way to interfere with existing preferences or priorities. The directors recommend that these shares be issued as 5 per cent. preference shares, rankin g next after the present existing preference shares, that they be issued as shares of 21. 103. each, and that they be apportioned rateably among the holders of both ordinary and guaranteed stock in the proportion of one share to each 251. stock. Adopting this mode of division, the sum to be raised at present would be 321,332/., leaving a balance of 9,1671., which balance, as well as any shares which may not be taken up by the parties to whom they are allocated, the directors recommend that they he au thorized to dispose of as they may see best for the in terest of the company. They also recommend that they be authorized to exercise t he borrowing powers of the Act to the extent of 110,1601. The directors state that the share and loan capital to he raised under this Act is chiefly to ply off the money which has been borrowed from banks and others, and therefore that the dividends and intere sts p a y ab le thereon ar no new drain on the revenue, except ton sm a ll extent, but come in place of the interest hithert o pa id f or such borrowed money, and which is now entirely charged against revenue. Part of the capital autho rized by the Act was for certain alterations and im provements at Edinburgh and Dalkeith stations, which the directors were anxious to have executed EXTRAORDINARY BURGLARY AT 17) ____ CITY BRIDE WELL. i of the Yesterday (Monday) morning a co sation was caused amongst the varioursrioarars in conse- City Bridewell, Bridge-street, Biockthat 'during the (pence of a discovery being illadDhad obtained ad preceding night a party of burglars g the outer walls, mission into the prison by osl'deeiraasble sell.. i oxford, one r pfAle and had succeeded in carry plate. 1t appears that O .
