BY AN AUSTRIAN OFFICER. —A second “lition of this little volume has already made its appearance. " None but a soldier," says the United Service Gazette,_" and he an eye-witness of the exploits he narrates, a sharer in the sufferings he depicts, could have written such a da-hing volume. It is full of military adventure of a thrilling kind." And the Britannia remarks, that " the romance and peril of war, with its wild joys and deep but transient sorrows, never had a better narrator. The volume completely exhibits the character of the Hunga rian contest, and is the more to be admired from the soldierlike and gallant spirit it evinces." TO INDIA AND BACK IN THREE MONTHS.— Lieut. IL M. Taylor, of the 25th Reziment, embarked on board one of the Peninsular and Oriental steamers on the 20th of October last, for Alexandria, and having hastened thence to Madras, remained there twelve days, when he returned and reached Southampton by the same steamer on the 25th ult. HURRIC.ANE AT LIVERPOOL . (From the Second Edition of the Liverpool Courier, of yesterdey.) We stated in our early impression that the barometer had fallen seven-tenths cf an inch in the course of yes terday, and that there was every indication of a coming storm. The gale came as was anticipated, and was mere serious than any w e have had since the memorable storm of January, 1839, when so large an amount of life and property was destroyed. The wind began to rise yesterday about five o'clock, and continued t r increase in violent guests till three or tour o'clock this morning, when it had attained its max imum strength, and blew with tremendous force, rocking the houses in exposed situations like cradles. In merry exposed places so great was the violence of the gale that families left their beds and sought shelter in the lower rooms of their house, preferring an imaginary safety there to restless tossings in bed, „and the multitude of thoughts of a sleepless night. In the town the ravages of the gale have been much less severe than might have been expected, though a con siderable number of chimneys are dismantled, and slates are scattered about the streets. In some places the windows of houses have been blown in. One of the windows of Trinity Church is riddled of the glass. Be tween six and seven o'clock this morning a chimney was blown down at the Crooleed Billet, in Exchange street East, and fell upon th e roo f o f a room i n w hi c h a servant maid slept, but happily without making its way into the apartment. The force of the gale was severely felt ,about the Old Church, especially upon the new range of offices known as Tower-buildings, from some parts of which the lead his been stripped ke Paper, and is now hang ing from t re roof like ribbaad s . Various chimneys were blown down in the neigh bourhood of Matthew-street and Stanley-itreet. At Bootle tlangele was sevsssie• felt, and broken glass and damaged chimneys are piellllEu'. The storm was most severely felt at Birkenhead, and on the Cheshire side of the Mersey generally, where it raged with extraordinary violence. In Grange-lane, and those neighbourhoods exposed to the action of the wind, the roads were literally strewed with the wrecks of fallen chimneys and dismantled reefs. Christ Church, in •xton-road, has suffered severely from the gale, about three yards of the spire being thrown down into the body of the church, cud the base of the spire being so seriously injured as t r make it a matter of necessity to take down and rebuild the remainder. The pinnacle of the Scotch church, in Grange-lane, has been blown down, and thrown through the roof. A house near Grange-lane, in an exposed situation, has suffered so much from the gale as to have the entire roof carried away, le tying nothing but the bare rafcsrs standing. In Grange-lane a small , chapel has been much damaged by the wind, the windows being completely blown out. The new market at Birkenhead has sustained consi tlerable injury, the roof being stripped of the lead, and it has been found necessary to keep the doors closed to prevent the roof being entirely carried away. A con sider able portion of the roof of this structure has been blown off. On the Chcstlr and Birkenhead Railway, near the Bebbington station, a luggage train was thrown off the rails by the violence of the wind, and impeded the way for some time. In the George's basin two fl,t t sunk this morning rout seven o'clock. On the river, one of the largest hulks, the Akbar, lying in the Sloyne, was shifted from her mooring, ald now lies stranded on the Devil's Bank near to Rock Ferry. The boats plying o•Woodside and Tranmcre have suetait el a little injury by coming in contaat with the landing places. At Seacombe the land ing stage was carried away about half-past seven this: morning by the violence of the seas, and it now lies at tached to the ship only by the chain. This casualty prevented the boats making their usual trips, and pas sengers f.nm this ferry, as well as from Egremont, where it was also impossible to effect a landing, had to go round to Woodside. The thickness of the morning prevented a communi cation by telegraph before nine o'clock. At 9 45, A 31. a signal of distress was made, to the (fleet that a large tine:-masted steamer had a signal f distress flying on ,h e Burbo bank. The steam-tt , immediately proceeded to her assistance, with a life-boat in tow. The vessel proved to to the screw-steamer Diana, from Waterford. The crew and passengers were saves, but the fate of the vessel is uncertain. The City of Dublin Stzarc-Packet Company's steam boat Trafalgar, was expected at three o'clock this morning, but has not y( t arriv6d. Doubtle,s she and many other vessels will be kept back by the severity of the gale. About eight o'clock a fore and aft-rigged schooner, named the Sailor's home, and laden with stone, on ac count of the Corporation, hove round the Rock Perch, having on her mast a flag c f distress. As soon as the vessel came within view of the Half-way-house, or life boat station, a boat belonging to the active and ever-:n -d body attached to the life-boat station be tween EgremoLt and New Brighton, put out to her as sistance. We have learned that scarcely had the crew left the schooner when she sunk. At the not t% end of our docks, that portion north ff the Clare we Dock, and which from their exposed posi tions to gales from tl.e W.N.W.. affords but little shelter for such crafts as may be found abreast their commo dious barbcurp, the gale blew with terrific violence. Many of tF c houses in the vicinity of the North Shore have suffered considerable damage ; and the neat ma rine villas in Bootle Bay hare all of them been injured in some degree by the violence cf the storm. The shipping in; e Nelson and Coßingwood docks have not sustained much positive injury, but nevertheless, they encounteredi n no small degree the fury of the elements, and had not their rigging been made taut in anticiimion of the event which has occurred, there can be no doabt but that serious ccidents would have occurred in those dock; At an elrly hour this morning, a small smack, named the Duchess of her', the captain of which found that his light anchors would not withstand the fury of the storm, atempted to make the entrance of the Nelson-dock, in the basin of which he expected to find ishelter; but, un fortunately, the tcmpest was so violent that was that she that the little sunk near to the entrance of th e h ar b our o f re f uge f or which b hs e h ea e m w e as un m m a a k u in a g g: 161 e. an d the result A flat Roan Runcorn was sunk this morning opposite the Collingwood-dock. These e:e two men and a wo man on board, all of whom were saved through the able assistance of some boats. There was not, fortunately, much shipping in the river, and even the few large ships which were moored there lay more to the Cueshire than the Lancashire e a s t, a r an e d p consequently the not th-P. as usual i n t h is latitude. However, all t: e g escaped, as t h e gale came from river made mu c h l ee wa y, an d i n l ships iin the ono or two instances we observed this morning that the vessels had made considerably to the east; and there is no doubt that, bad not the gale abated with the top of the tide (six, A.m.), more than one of the few vessels in the river would have drazged their anchors. we should state that all the life-boats from Egre meat were out daring the morning rendering all the assistance in their power, and, that they were ably assisted by ono or two of the steam-tugs belonging to the river. The N .W. light-ship broke adrift at noon, but was im mediLt -ly replaced. _ The arometer is more elastic, and the convex bulb indicates a change in the weather, but the wind is till violent and gusty. TERRIBLE STORAL IN NOTTINGHASISIIIRE.—A storm, of an unusually violent and destructive character, visited Nottingham and its neighbourhood on Tuesday esuvehnsiidneg'unotinilinabeonue i was ushered in w ith fl ashes of lightning an d t h un d er a t n t g e n a A b o .3 u r. t y s e e s v t e e n r d o a ' y c c w k e , d a n n e d s d a d y i d . no ) I t t intervals, being followed by heavy rain for a time, during which and afterwards the wind blew in fitful but tre mendous gusts from the west, with a degree of violence perhaps never before experienced during the present generation in th e m i dland counties. The consequence was that upo n t h e i nhabitants c f N o tti ng h am ar i s i ng from their b e d s yesterday, they f ou nd many o f t h e streets strewn with chimney-pots,slates, and porti ons o f brick chime ) s; and soon tf.erwards damage of a more serious nature became known. About half-past seven o'clock in the morning a tall chimney, attached to Mr. Smythe's house in the Park, fell with a tre mendous crash upon a wing of the building, two stories high, carrying its the roof and forcing' the whole, with a bedroom floor and the contents of the room, into the kitchen below. Mr.* and Mrs. Henry Smythe were sleeping in the room at the time, and were buried in the ruins the crash had created, but happily they were extricated without either cf them sustaining serious injury. Of three servants also who were in the kitchen at the time of the accident, two escaped with slight bruises; but the third, Sarah 13ritton, aged fourteen, who was engaged lighting a fire at the time, was buried for more than half a n hour,beneath nearly two tons' 'weight assistanceofbricksas p and m other materials. a .number of workmen weretorials. As soon as p oss ibl e employed in clearing away the brohea timbers, and all parties were freed from the debris. Unfortunately, it was found necessary to convey the poor girl, Britton, to the General Hospital, her legs especially being dread• fully crushed. Early in the morning also William Woodward, f North Bridgford, was carried to th e hos pital, ho having b: en seriously hurt on the head, ri g ht arm, and back, by the falling of a hovel in which he was engaged milching cows. Several of the cattle were also much bruised, and some parties who were assisting him at the time sustained injuries of a less serious nature. These are the most serious cases that had transpired at the time our dispatch left Nottingham, but very m an y similar incidents of a minor description were to be met with on every hand. SUPPOSED INCENDIARY FIRE, NEAR R OYSTON , A correspondent writes—" I regret to inform y ou o f a dreadful firs, which occurred on Saturday night at Ash well, near Baldcek, supposed to be the act of an incen diary. Several farms were burnt down and a number of cottages; and damage done to the amount of 10,000/. and upwards. A high wind added much to the confla gration, which it was painful iu the extreme to behold. People seem at a loss to account for the act of the villain, as there is nct a single able-bodied man in the union, nor has thero been eluting the winter, all the labourers having been well employed." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The Raleigh, 50, Cap tain the Hon. C. Hope, waa paid off this day into ordi nary. It is a pity that so fine a ship should have been condemned t.) so unworthy a service as mere hulking in the River Plate, where her anchors were down for three years. We think Sir Thomas Herbert might have changed the scene a little with great benefit to the health and efficiency of the ship's company, and without the Least detriment to the service. Lieutenant the Hon. Francis Egerton, lite flag-lieu tenant to Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, is promoted to the rank cf Commander. Strong gales have been blowing on this coast all nigh and day. ♦PPOINTMENTS. Chaplain—Rev. Eiward S. Phelps (1536) to the I lustrious, 72, depot ship of ordinary, Portsmouth. ANOTIIER ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The Lords of the Admiralty, on obtaining the sanction of the House of Commons yesterday evening, have lost no time in deciding on the plan to be adoptcd for ano ther expedition to proceed in the direction of Davis's Straits, Lancaster Sound, and onwards to Melville Island in search of Captain Sir John Frankia and the officers and crews of the Erebus and Terror, and an ex press messenger was dispatched from the Admiralty this afternoon to Woolwich, with orders to Commodore Henry Eden to get the Acorn, 12, sloop, and Minx steam-vessel ready f)r sea at the shortest notice. The messenger was also bearer at the same time of dispatches for Captain Sir John Hill, superintendent of the vic tualling-yard, Deptford, to have the necessary provisions ready to be sent to Woolwich and put on beard those vessels. The Acorn is at present at Chatham, but she can soon be brought round t ) Woolwich and made ready for sea. The Minx is a steam-vessel propelled by the screw, and the last trial she had when fitted with the diso engines gave a remarkably favourable result, with a very small consumption of fuel—an object of the ereatest importance in a voyage to the Arctic regions. The disc engine has since been tried for a considerable number of hours consecutively, and found to continue to work w ell, without being liable to get out of order, and appears to be in every way adapted for the undertaking the Minx is now ordered to be employed upon, if their Lordships should decide on using those engiees now on board the vessel." DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION IN LAMBETH. This morning, shortly before one o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive timber-yard belonging to Mr. George Myers, of the Ordnance-wharf, Belvedere-road, which, in the extent of its ravages, has very far ex ceeded any catastrophe of the kind with which the me• tropolis has been visited fir many years past. The exact locality may be thus briefly described : The York-road is a well-known thoroughfare, extending from the Waterloo-road to Westminster-bridge-road. Within about 200 yards of the latter a narrow turning, known as Guildford -street, firms a communication be tween York-road and Pedlers-acre. Both sides c f this street were formerly occupied by the extensive premises of Messrs. Grissell and Pet), the celOrated builders and contractors, and a cas:-iron bridge thrown across e thoroughfare connects the workships on eitbel. bide. Mr. Myora' timber wharf extends across York-road, nod occupies a very large space, bounded on the south by the rear of the houses in Pedlars-aze, on the east by the f.ctory formerly occupied by Messrs. Grissell and Peto, ou the west by Heath's extensive livery-;tables, ope ling to the north on the back of the houses in the York-read. The fire i 3 supposed to have btoken out in this tim ber-yard, and su rapidly did tho flames extend that the whole of one side of Guildford -street, and no less than eight large houses in Yerk-road are levelled with the ground. Ti;e flames were first discovered by a policeman of the L divisor), who lost no titre in dispatching messen gers to the various stations of the fire brigade, and in a very short time Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the southern division of tm'e f.)rce, arrived on the spot with a good supply of engines from the Southwar k-bridge-road and adjacent stations. Before, however, water could be procured the flames had attained so great an ascen d ancy that the atmosphere was illuminated for miles around, and the utmost alarm was occasioned among the inhabi tants of the neighbourhood. In less than half an hour f.om the period of the outbreak, the promises on the west side of Guildford-street, formerly occupiel by Messrs. Grissell (now in the tenancy of Messrs. Nickels and Co., india-rubber-web manufacturers) became ignited, and all efforts to stay the ravages of the flames provel utterly futile. In a very short period the window frames at the back of the houses in York-road caught lire, and , before any effective moans could be adopted to prevent it, the whole range numbered 7,8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 was one mass of flame. The awful progress of the fire for some few minute: previously had forwarned the inhabitants of the danger to which they were ex posed, and a very large quantity of furniture vl as hastily thrown out of the houses into Vie centre of York-road, as the only chance of saving it from being reduced to ashes. The firemen worked bravely, but the extent of the catastrophe was so great that it soon became evident the fire must exhaust it:sa. It is quite impossible, owing to the confusion that pre vailed, to give anything approalhing an estiTate of tho damage that must accrue feom this frightful disaster. The great quantity of furniture strewed about all tha thoroughfares in the district gives too much reason to fear that the poorer classes will suffer very severely. On the question of insurance, also, no certain information could be obtained. Thu atmosphere was very brilliantly illuminated by the reflection cf the flames, and about half-past one o'clock almost every metropolitan church steeple might have been clearly discerned. Tho new Houses of Parlia ment, with their exquisite Gothic tracery, seen from Hungerford-bridge, formed one of the finest pictures it is possible to imagine. The number of spectators WR3 riot excessive, owing to the lateness of the hour. Mr. Inspector Beckerson, of tho A division of police, and Inspector Evans, of the L division, were in attend ance, with a very large body of constables. THE SALE AT MARLBOROUGH llOL'SE.—Marl borough House was on Tueeday crowded with fashionable company, assembled to view the effects of her late la mented Majesty the Queen Dowager. The invitations were from ten to four o'clock, and during the whole of that I eriod the principal rooms of the mansion were filled with a constant succession of visitors, including many leading connoiseurs and collectors, all of whom appeared desirous to possess themselves of some relic of the departe 1 Queen. Among the more distinguished company we remarked the Duchess of Norfolk and Laly Adeliza Fitzalan Howard, the Duchess of Sutherland and Lady Constance Leveson Goner, the Marquis of Stafford, the Earl of Jersey and Lady Clementina Villiers, the Eight Honourable Sidney Herbert and Mrs. Herbert, tho Countess Dowager Wal degrave and Mr. Harcourt, M.P., the Vis countess Forbes, Lord Harry Vane, M.P., Colonel Sibthorp, M.P., Mr. Quintin Dick, M.P., Lord Ernest Bruce, M.P., the Marquis of Douro, Lady Charles Wellesley, and Lady A. Pierrepont, the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, Admiral Sir George Sey mour, &e. The company, en entering the mansion, passed int) the dining-room, where an immense display of linen of all descriptions was exhibited for sale, includ ing some very superb table napkins bearing the royal arms and cypher, which were eagerly bought at prices ranging from three to four guineas per dozen. A very handsome dessert service of ruby glass and some china services were displayed in this room, which also contained full-length poaraits of King George M. and Queen Charlotte, marked at 504 Passing through an anteroom the company entered the ch awing-room, which. from the valuable nature of the property it contained, formed the chief point of attraction. The demand in this room as so great during portions of the day that nearly a dozen salesmen were kept actively employed, and it was with some difficulty the property Was cleared away, so rapidly were sales effected. The upper floors of the mansion were not thrown open to the public, it being in tended to remove their contents to the lower rooms as the sale proceeds. We believe that a much larger quan tity of property remains to be disposed of than was ori ginally expected, owing to her Majesty the Qaecn having declined to purchate the effects contained in Bushey house. The sale will continue to-morrow and during the succeeding days ( f the present week. _ PASSAGES IN TES LIFE OF MRS. MARGARET MAITLAND, OF SUNNY SIDE.

A KEEN ATTORNEY.—Mr. Tom Chippendale by no means exaggerated his title to such knowledge of the world as can be acquired by long and sharp practice in the law. He knew the seamy side of the world as si ell as most men. Ile was one of the underling, working agents of the old Tory party, and a subtle hand at elec tioneering pclitice. He justly enjoyed the reputation of being one of the keenest men in a prof -ssion which af fords the most favourable opportunities for the exercise of a low sagacity, and which seldom rewards cs they deserve its honourable and honest members. By the in d, fatigable exercise of his special talents, ho had accu mulated a handsome fortune, and was at the top of the tree in his particular line. An ext,esive intercourse with all classes had educated hta natural shrewdness in the quick perception a character, and few men knew how to turn that detective faculty to great , r advantage. Like most persons of his stump, he had two sets of manners—the one to freeze and repulse, the eth, r to conciliate and cajole.— The "Ladder of Gold" in Bentley' s Miscellany. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL On Tuesday a court was held for the dispatch of business. Alderman Haesphery was re-elected governor of the Irish Society. Mr. Dakin was elected deputy-governor, in the room of Mr. T. B. Simpson. Upon the application of some of the members, The LORD MAYOR sent the reflex-bearer to the Co:n missioners of Sewers, who had just commenced their sitting above stairs upon important public business, to order their et:endaneb in the court. The order was peremptory, and the Commissioners were obliged to ad- journ the appointed business, which included the elec tion of the medical officer, and other matters of general interest in the city. The court was by no means nume rously attended—a circumstance mainly attributable to the expected discussion upon the old theme of corpora tion reform. The TOWN CLERK informed the Court that he had received the amounts of the Commissioners of Sewers, audited by Messrs. Begley, Chatteris, and Kendal, from the auditors. Referred to the Commissioners of Sewers. MEASURES FOR INCREASING THE FRANCHISE. Mr. Deputy BEDFORD moved that the petition pre sented on the 17th of January, on behalf of the citizens of the Ward of Farringdon Without, for the adoption of measures for increasing the franchi se , b e ta k en i nto consideration. After some discussion, in which the arguments which have been so frequently used upon the subject of corpo ration reform were repeate 1 with additional force, the Court determined by a large majority that the further consideration of the petition be adjourned until the sense of the freemen of the city on the subject shall have been ascertained in the respective wards. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW TAX. Mr. ANDERTON gave notice of a motion that the Court petition the House of Commons to repeal the window tax. SUPPLY OF WATER TO THE 31ETROPOLIS.

GOLD IN SARAWAK.—The Journal of the Indian Archipelago publishes the f,llowing important announce ment, contained in a letter dated Sarawak, November 2, 1849 :—" Tho rains at the beginning of this month of last year fell in "great quantities in.Sarawsk, and a con siderable portion of the falo of a mountain, called Trian, was washed down into the plains bel )w. The deposit was found to abound in gold, and afforded work for fully 2,000 men for about a month or six weeks, and it was reckoned that, at the smallest average, they procurei bunkal a month per man. The gold was in lumps, and not in dust, and soveral of the lumps weighed from three to four bunkals, and they were rarely less than one or two amass in weight. This fact may, in this locality, lead at some future day to important conclu sions ; and I am induced to notice it as it corrobor►tes the statements in Mr. Hope's work, and at the same time, is contrary to the received opinion, and tho expe rience of the working in the Braz le, where gild is rarely to bo traced to the gold neighbouring mountains." ESCAPE OF A TIGER CAT. — Tile timid on the Crean!' side of the water have been ;much alarmed during the past week by the circulation of a report that a large tiger cat which had escaped from a vessel then lying in Devonport harbour had taken up his abode in Mount Edgcumbe park, where, it was said, he was de• stroying and c ating " hundreds of deer." So the re-. port went, and mother., in consequence, fearing the animal might Lou a change in diet, have not allowed their children to frequent the road alone, or to go there themselves unarmed or unprote.tld. On inquiry we learn that a titter cat ha I effected his escape from a merchant vessel now lying in the harbour, but that it had sot been since seen on shore, the probability being that it was drowned in the a' tempt to reach the land. It was a very fine creature, and was valued at upwards of 30/. Devonport Independent. SILVER. LODE.—A very valuable silver lode bas been discovered on Ell Bridge Estate, the property of Mr. W. Wyreond, in the parish of Landulph, about four miles from Saltash, on the direct Callington road. Ap plications have been repeatedly made for the past 20 years for a grant of the set% which however could not be obtained until about a fortnight since, the proprietor not believing his estate contained any mineral, and sup posing that his land would be broken up to no purpose. Of eraVons were commenced on Mtnrlay week last, and when only three feet from the surface a valu able lode of silver lead ore was opened on, showing that the opinions t f the practical miners were correct. The ore taken from ii, having been carefully assayed, pro duced 10 in 20 for le ad, and 200 ounces of silver in the ton of ore. The shaft has since been sunk about four fathoms, where the lode is four feet big, and the ore found to be of much greater richness. This is one of the richest lodes ever seen in our locality so near the stir face.--Plyniouth Guardian. RAILWAY ACCIDENT AND Loss Or LIFE.-011 Saturday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, an accident occurred to a coal tia'n on the line of the Great North of England Railway, about two miles south of Darlington,t by which the stoker, John Tinkler, was killed, and the eng,ine-driver and guard severely hurt. Fortunately assistance was speedily procured, and the line which had been blocked up by the leader being thrown on the down line was cleared so as to bo pass able in the course of a few hours. On Monday, the 4th inst, an inquest was held at Da-lington, on the body of the deceased, before Mr. W. Trotter, one of the coroners for the county cf Durham, when it appear: el that the ac cident had been caused by the explosion of the boiler, owing to there having been too little water in it and the cold water having been let in when it was in a heated state. Thu engine tr as proved to have been of excellent construction, and to have been in good working order when taken charge of by the engine driver. Af er some consideration the inquiry was adjourn e d un til t h e 12 t h j inst., to enable the ury to hear the evidence of the engine-driver and guard, Rho were so severely injured that they could not at presort be exa m i ne d. M r. N. Plows, one of the director., and Mr. G etch, oi.o of the company's solicitors, attended to watch the case on the part of the company, to whom, however, no b: ome ap peared to attach.

FkOA.TING RAILWAY ACROSS rt ME FORTH. It is with great satisfaction that we have to notice the comple:iou uf an undertaking which will nut only bo of greet public advantage, but must add very materially to the prosperity of the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway Company. We allude to the large moveable slips that have been erected by this company at Granton and Burntisland, by means cf which, in connexion with the large floating railway-steamer " Leviathan," goods, minerals, and live stock, will be conveyed across the ferry without removal from the trucks; and if found necessary, passengers could also, with the greatest ewe and safety, be taken across without change of carriage. We understand that the whole appatatus is the invention of Mr. Bouch, the engi neer and manager of the line, and reflects the highest credit on his engineering skill. The first expermuntal trial took place on Wednesday last in presence of the di rectors, and was eminently successful. We may men tion that the spacious deck of the steamer is capable of holding a train of from thirty to forty loaded trucks ; end on Wednesday twelve trucks, consisting a coal and general mer chandise, were taken en board at Burntisland in about seven minutes. The time occupied by the steamer in crossing was 25 minutes; and the trucks were safely run ashore at Granton in the course cf three minutes afterwards, amidst the hearty cheers of a large concourse of spectators, who had assembled to witness the interest ing proceedings. To give an idea of the entire apparatus, we may state that alongside the piers at Burntisland and Granton is en incline or slip, constfucted of masonry, upon which are laid two lines of rails, the seme gauge as the main line. Upon the incline is placed a heavy moveable platform, 61 feet in length by 21 in breadth, framed of timber and resting upon sixteen wheels. To the front of the pleVorm are attached, by means of universal joints, four malleable iron girders, 35 feet long, constructed of boiler plate, spanning the requisite distance from the platform to the vessel, and affording sufficient depth of water for the keel of the vessel to clear the surface of the slip. These girders are raisel and lowered on the arrival and departure of the vessel by means of a winch on each side of a staging eightaen feet high, erected across the platform, The whole plat form with the girders are raised and lowered to suit the several heights of the tido by means of a small stationary steam-engine, which is also employed in moving the trucks off and on board the vessel. The drums and gearing in connexion therewith are so ar ranged as to work the platform, or load and discharge the vessel with the greatest facility, The large vessel or floating railway (Leviathan) ply ing in connexion with the slips, is 175 fe% long by 5.1 feet ever all, propelled by two powerful engines of peculiar construction, with ra Idle shafts uncon nected. Upon her deck are laid tin et lines of rai!- way for the standage of trucks. This vessel, with all her machinery, was built by Mr. Robert Napier of Glasgow, and, notwithstanding her f);ni and construc tion is very different from sea-going vessels generally, the whole is finished in the most complete manner, and reflezts the highest credit on the abil:ttes cf that eminent engine en—Edinburgh Advertiser. PORT OF LIMERICK.—Since the opening of the new year only thrke foreign vessels with bread stuff-, have arrived. The number of registered ships bel,nging to the port is 105, the tonnage of which is 11,068 tons, and in which between six and seven hundred men are employed. There is a deer( ate of 14,0001 in the year's revenue of Limerick, principally in the article of tobacco, caused by deaths, by emigration, and the destitution produced by wholesale evictions. In the union of Limerick there were about 6,000 deaths at the period of the cholera. Of the number of emigrants no correct idea can be fortned until the Catholic clergymen publish returns of the decrease of population. But of evictions, the number in the unions of Kilrush and Ennis ccn fail very little short, if they are not in excess, of 50,000 souls. 'the pauperizat'on of these persons by eviction, and the increase of poor rates thereby, have had a most alis lstruus off, ct on agricultural industry—and caused corresponding injury to business and the revenue heretofore accruing to the Treasury in Limerick.—Limerick Examiner. ,„ .1 HE LATE LORD JErFREY. —A desire is beginning to bc expressed for the erection of a monument to this great man, and a e are happy to learn that arrangements are in progress fJr holding a public meeting of the cifZetlF, to take measures for recording, by some visiblo token, the admiration and esromi with which Lord Jeffrey was regarded. Already a subscription has been opened among the members of the bar, for a private memorial of his Lordship. Our townsman Mr. Steele is to be commissioned to execute a bust for the Advocates' Library. The accom plished artist is well acquainted with the features and expression of the deceased Judge, who was a frcqutnt visitor to his studio.

Yesterday, at one o'clock, a deptation of gentlemen, comprising delegates from several metropolitan pariaker, nominated for the purpose of obtaining an equalization a' the lane-tax, waited upon the Chancellor of the E. chequer, by appoi n t men t, a t his official residence in Downing -street; with the view of urging upon the con sideration of the Government a more equable arrange ment of the above impost. The deputation, which was accompanied by General De Lacy Evans and Mr. Charles Lushington, the Mem bers for Westminster, was composed of delegates from the following districts: —The Liberty of the Rolls, St. Paul's, Covent-garden; St. Andrew's, Holborn; SL Cle ment Dayei; S'. Mary-k-Strand; St. Anne's, Soho; St. James's, Clerk,uwell; Christchurch, Newgate street; St. Saviour's, Southwark; and St. Stephen's Walbrook. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was accompanied by Mr. John Wood, the Chairman of the Board c.,f Inland :eventie. Mr. MILLER, of the Chancery Bar, actedas tho'spokes man of the deputation, and showed the excessive ine quality a the present tar, and urged that if - no general meant; e could be brought forward, the Government ought at least to reire ly the present defective state of the law with regard to the mode of assessing the tax. The CHANCELLOR i f the EXCHEQUER in reply said, that as to the general equalizrtion of the land tax, that was too large r. question for him to express an opinion upon, particularly after tte manner in v. Welt the tax had been dea!t with at the time the Redemption Acts were passed, Mr. Pitt having treated the quotas then fixed as perpetual, leeause the Government wanted money fur war purposes. With regar d t o t L e part i a l relief sought, it did not appear to him that the party who appeared in the Holborn divibion had executed all the remedies given to him by the Act, and he con sidered there was no valid reason fur coining to Parlia ment fir fri sh powers until that had been dune. In. Lord Aylei.f ,rd's casP, i ecrred to in Me. Wood's evi dence before the Agricultural Committee in 1830, it was laid dung tt.at it the Commissioners did not mces together and make an equal rate, a power was given to apply t..) the Court of Exchequer in order to compel them to du so. Mr. MiLLEa said that with regard to the rcmedy sug gested by the Chancellor against the Commissioners, the point had been considered by the most eminent coup• sel, all of whom had advised that the decision of the Commissioners was fit al, and that the parties appealing were without remedy. The Chancellor of the Exchequer made no further ob:e. vation on the subject ; and the deputation, ift:r a few moments' hesitation, retire] from the MiniEter's presence. INDIAN RIVER STEAM NAVIGATION.—A party of . gentleruen were ass e mbl e d yesterday evening to dinner alhe London Coficc-hotne, Ludgate-hill, whose in terests are enlisted in carrying out a project for the ea lishment of steam navigation upon the rivers .4 India. 4 Pbc author of the project is Mr. Bourne, a civtkengi neer, who has male the accamplishmeat of the peided end the subject of especial and careful study. Owilto the peculiar character of the Indian rivers7tvgich in the dry sraion become extremely shallow, and full of shoals and sandbanks, insurmountable difficulties are opposed to the iutroducticn of steam navigation by ordinary methods. Mr. Bourne has, howevtr, devised a system by which these obstacles can be surmounted, and the rivers rendered navigable at any season of the year. Ho proposes to use a train of Hit-bottomed barge:, arti culated to each other by circular jointp, and drawn through the water by a aramer, by which means a considerable cargo can he conveyed at a good speed, and with a draught of water so small as to meet all Via exigencies of the minimum depth obtained during the dry :e %son The chair was occupied by Mr. J. M`Gr.gor, M.P. After the usual loyal and pa triotic toasts, the important subject of the e vening was introduced, and the advantages of the intended pr, ject were ‘Na-snly and eloquently supported by Mr. Byrne, late Deputy-Governor of Bengal, Mr. Duncan, Sir John Campbell, and Mr. J. 0, Walker. The entire al):ience of a.iy constant and efficient means of commu nication was held cut ai the great evil under which India suffered, and by which its almost unlimited re sources were crippled in their development; and it was urged that, should the present scheme come into opera tion, the exchange of our ruanufaotured goods agaiust the cotton and other products of the interior of India would speedily reek ire a rapid iropetus. Towards the close of the proceedings Mr. Bourne, upon his health being proposed, entered into a detailed statement of the various Natures of his proposed system cf navigation, which was listened to with marked interest and approba tion. The meeting altogether was a most satisfactory one, and the strong argument§ elicited in favour of the proposed scheme were such as to give every hope that it would ere long receive a fair trial. RAILWAY BILLS ON STANDING OllDERF.—Yester (bay, tle inquiry into the ease of the North Kent Conti nuation Company was concluded, and the Bill on the several points of non-compliance referred to t'.e Select Cotninittec on Standmg Orders. Since the commence ment of the inquiry the promoters have intimated their intention to abandon that portion cf the proposed rail way diverging at Rucheiter, and terminating in junction with the South-Eastern Railway at Maidstone. The standing orders were declared to be complied with in the following casta:—Lam ashire and Yorkshire Rail way, who propose to alter their tolls, and to receive 63. for express and first-class passengers, 4d. for second class, and 2J. for third-Ass; the South Yorkshire, for abandonment of part e f railway; the Shropshire Union Railway for `abandonment of Newton to Crewe and Cluster, and IVolvethamptun lires• P reduction cf capital and power to lease to London and North-Western; the Bill c f the Caledonian and Dumbartonshire Railway for relinquishment of raft of woiks, restriction of capital, with power to the Edinburgh and Glasgow to hold sharer, was withdrawn. Consequent, o n th e resu l t o f the CLldenian Railvtay most : rig, reported in our cc humus yesterday, the Bill of the Scottish Central Rail way, to lease their undertaking t ► the Caledonian and London and North-Western Railways, was adjourned. About 130 out of the total number of 137 Bills on stand ing orders ere now disposed of. SUICIDE AND INFANTICIDE. —Great Excitement has been ctea,ted at Bath by the death ef a man named Edmund Francis Hunt, who destroyed his own life and that of his child, a little girl two years and a half old. The ut.fortuustte man was a plasterer, about thirty-ssven years of age, hying in Cornwall-terrace, Walcot street, and his house abuts upon the river Avon. Ile was a steady, industrious man, and had been in the service of his master upwards of twenty years. His wife, how ever, has several times been convicted of shoplifting, and the poor fellow in consequence has undergone much mental suffering. Upon the last occasion of his wife's delinquency becoming known, threw or four months ago, he declared that if ever ale so disgraced him again be should be induced to destroy himself. On Saturday night last, as the deceased was returning home, be was it formed by a neighbour that his wie, was again app:e hended for shoplifting. He hastened home, took 114 favourite child out of bed, and was seen no more alive. the Sunday morning the river was dragged, and the body of the unfortunate man was pulled up about fif y yards below his own house. His arms were f.aded over his chest as if embracing something. The n ater was a t t he ( rrisver arms, eighteen them b i o le d s y b b e e lo in w g at on ve ry flash at the time, and th e c hi ld roust have been e hermswoinlldeadyeduitscoefvereu in t spot where t'le sad catastroph e I tappened.

LOCK .....osrair, ASYLUM, AND C lIATLL.—The anniversary dinner of this charity was held yest rday evening at the Lan(Ln Tavern, hi s R o y a l Hi g h ness t h e Duke of Cambridge in the chair. After the usual toasts had been duly honoured, the Rev. A. Gamier read the report, from which it appeared that the number of la tients who during the year had received care at the hos pital amount( d t) 741 (414 of these being in-patientr), making an aggregate, from the first opening of the insti tution in 1747, of 38,420 patients who have been cured. The financial prospects 4 f the charity have at last as sunicld a somewhat more hopeful aspect. 'Re receipts of the N ear have fAllen short of the expenditure by nearly 900/.; 3 e', inasmuch as this debt is the accumulation of former years, and has been reduced upon that which stood a;ainst the hospital a year ago, by about 4001., the time is net, it is hoped, far distant when the charity will enjoy all its former prosperity. The report having been read, the healths of the various officials were drunk; and at about tea his Royal Highness left the chair.
