The Reynard returned to the harbour on the 17th from her cruise to the Pei-ho. The result, in news paper phrase, " has not transpired," for there is little to transpire. On her arrival at the mouth of the Pei-ho it was found that, without lightening the ship, it would be impossible to proceed up the river, which even at high water is too shallow for a vessel of her draught. She accordingly anchored, and shortly af terwards was visited by some of the local authorities, and afterwards by others of higher rank, who were, or pretended to be, apprehensive that her intentions were hostile ; though as the nature of her visit had been previously communicated to the Court of Pekin, they probably did not really fear any great fear on the point. Arrangements were made for receiving the so called Queen's letter, the contents of which we have already sufficiently indicated, and shortly afterwards the ceremony took place within a handsome tent, erected for the purpose on shore. The Mandarins were exceedingly civil, but gave their guests to un derstand that any further negotiation must take place with the Imperial Commissioner at Canton, who had the direction of foreign affairs; and to him instruc tions had already been sent how to act. He will probably tell us that, as he is the M!nister specially appointed to manage foreign business, we can com municate with the Court in writing only through him. This, as we have formerly remarked, is no more than is implied in the English treaty, and expressly stated in the subsequent ones vi ith France and the United States. We never expected any good from this ill-advised expedition to the Pei-ho; and if it be attended with any result at all, it will be to excite mistrust in the Chinese, instead of encouraging them to extend our commercial facilities, which was the real object of the mission. 'We have, therefore, no immediate prospect of exchanging Fuhcha and Ningpo for a better "lo cation" on the Grand Canal, even though we are will ing to postpone, sine die, our imaginary right to ad mission within the Canton city. After leaving the gulf of Pei-ho, Captain Cracroft bent his course up the Gulf of Leaou•tung as far as the Great Wall, which he had the gratification of minutely inspecting, and of proceeding a considerable distance along its summit. We trust ;shortly to be enabled to give some particulars of this interesting trip. ELECTION OF RECORDER. Yesterday a Committee of the whole Court of Aldermen was held for the purpose of taking into consideration the appointment of some eminent mem ber of the legal profession to the office of Recorder of London, in the room of the late Hon. C. E. Law. The meeting was strictly private, but report out of doors said that application having been made to four gentlemen of the bar, viz , Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Crowder, Mr. Page Wood, and the Right Hon. J. A. Stuart Wortley (brother of Lord Wharncliffe), that the three first gentlemen having successively refused the effice, and Mr. Wortley's friends having consented to take it for bim if the conditions should be such as were suitable to him, the Committee came to the resolution to report in that gentleman's favour to the Court of Aldermen. The report caused a good deal of surprise amongst the most active and intelligent members of the Corporation, to whom its contents were soon whispered. The following is a list of the duties of Recorder, according to the late regulation : " To advise the Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen for their better direction in administering law and jus tice; taking precedence of the aldermen who have not served the office of mayor. " To attend and advise the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of Hustings and in the Mayor's Court for equity, as well as common law ; and, according to the leculiar custom of London, to sit on the right hand of the Mayor, in re cording pleas, passing judgments, and pronouncing judg ments in outlawry. " Being by charter a justice of the pace for the city of London, and by a subsequent charter one of the quo rum, to attend and assist the Lord Mayor at the sessions for this City. " As by another charter he is also justice for the bo rough of Southwark, in that character to attend and sit daily at the said court, in order to facilitate the admi nistration of justice. (The obligation to sit daily was not included in the duties of the late, or of any former Recorder). " To attend the Lord Mayor upon the presentation of addresses from the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council to the Sovereign, members of the Royal family, and other distinguished personages, and on all important occasions. "To attend the presentation of the Lord Mayor to the Barons of the Exchequer on the 9th of November. " To attend the presentation of the Sheriffs of London and Sheriff of Middlesex, upon their election and ad mission into office, to the Court of Exchequer. " To attend the courts of conservancy, charge the grind juries, assist in the proceedings when the present ments of the grand juries are received, and when petty juries are summoned to assist in the trial of issues. " To prepare, when called upon, for the Secretary of State for the Home Department reports on the cases of criminals tried before him whose remission or mitiga tion of sentence is under consideration. " To attend the Committees of Aldermen sad Common Council when required. " To peruse and settle all bye-laws or bills of Common Council, and other important legal or official documents, and give advice without fee to the Corporation, or to any of its Committees or officers, e n matters relating to tt e City's interest, whenever he may be required." (Former Recorders were paid by fees for the performance of the duties stated in the last paragraph.) The gentlemen who were known to be candidates for the office soon after the death of Mr. Law are Mr. Sergeant Merew•ether, the Town-Clerk, who had been for many years a distinguished member of the bar ; Mr. Russell Gurney, who has presided as Judge upon circuit in most difficult cases, and given the highest satisfaction to the bar; and Mr. Bullock, the present able Common-Sergeant. Some days ago the name of Mr. Montague Chambers was mentioned as likely to be put upon the list of candidates, but we un derstand there was no allusion at all to him yesterday. The Court of Aldermen will meet on Tuesday next, to proceed to the election. Black lead, said to be as pure as if manuftiotured, has beef dimyexed iu Neu 13xpuoyfick. SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1850. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 18. Her Majesty went out driving this afternoon, accompanied by the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice. The Marchioness of Douro was in attendance on her Majesty. His Royal Highness Prince Albert went out shooting to-day. Lord John Russell arrived at Balmoral to-day. The dinner party will include Lord John Russell and Sir E. Landseer. Summonses were issued yesterday to the Ministers and Officers of State to attend a Privy Council to be held by the Queen, at Balmoral, on Tuesday, the 24th of September. The summonses were sent from the Privy Council-office. Dispatches from tbe Governors of New South Wales and South Australia were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. Dispatches were sent off last evening from the Co lonial-office, for the Governors of the North Ameri can provinces. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV. SIR,—You have been Bo kind as to find space in your excellent paper for several letters from old cap tains in the army, I should esteem it a favour if you would insert this. It cannot have escaped the eye of many officers, that notwithstanding the reason alleged, viz., " that officers on retired lull-pay are not eligible to brevet promotion," officers were from the retired list pro !noted by brevet rank on the birth of his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales ; while other officers were passed over, there were thr ee p romote d on that occa sion. I shall further instance two or three other casts. The late Sir Thomas B. Pechell, Bart., who had been many years on retirtd full-pay, as a captain of the late Horse Grenadier Guards, at lBs. 6d. per day, was promoted by brevet to the rank and pay of a major -general in her Majesty's service; and it I greatly mistake not the present Major- General Eyre, who was also a captain in the same corps, was promoted in like manner. So long as invidious distinctions are made can any one wonder if cfficers complain ? In the cases last noticed, I am not aware that any particular act of service occurred, or had anything to do with promo tion. The plain question is this—Why should some officers get brevet promotion on retired full-pay and others not ?

THE FIRE IN MARK•LANE.—A vast body of fire still remained in the ruins and walls of several of the ware houses last night, and occasionally the wind blew the flames to a considerable height. During the night of Thursday the bond timbers of one of the warehouses having been con sumed, the fire penetrated into the warehouses of Messrs. Cape], the extensive coopers, o adj ining the p rem i ses o f M r . Barber; but t wo engines were set to work, and the fire was extinguished. Th e wa l l at the back front of Mr. Barber's warehouse in Seething -lane has fallen in; but Inspector Todhunter, perceivin g t h at it would not stand any longer, hadjust removed every person from this part of the premises. One of the houses on the opposite side of the street was forced in, and several others injured; fortunately the occu piers had removed with their furniture. It has been ascer tained that no less than 20,0001. worth of bristles have been destroyed. An immense quantity of oil was lost; when the flames reached the casks it ran down the sewers into the Thames, and a great many watermen and fishermen reaped a rich harvest by skimming the surface of the river. The fire is considered to be the largest there has been in the City since the destruction of the Royal Exchange. The cause of the fire has not been ascertained; but it is certain th a t it began in the premises of Messrs. Allnutts and Co., 58, Mark lane. When the porter found it out, he states that the flames were progressing so fearfully that it was impos sible to tell precisely in which room they commenced; he was obliged to rush to the street with only his shirt on. FIRE AT PENTONVILLE.--LaSt night, shortly be fore ten o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises belonging to Messrs. John, Thomas, and William Barns, carpenters and builders, Queen's-row, Pentonville, immediately facing the chapel. The lire was discovered by one of the neigh - bours, when instant alarm was given, and numerous engines of the London Brigade, parish, at.d West of England Company attended as quickly as possible. Plenty of• water was pro cured from the fire-mains, from which the engines were set to work; but before any impression could be made upon the fury of the flames, the roof fell in. The firemen, however, were enabled to cut off further extension • but the carpen ters' workshops were gutted, th e s t or ehouse considerably burned, and some damage was done to the painters' work slier. When the men left off work at half-past six o'clock, there was not the least appearance of anything burning. The firm was fully insured. LOSS OF AN EXCURSION STEAMER. On Monday last (t 1 e 16th instant) the Superb steamer was to have started from St. Heliers on an excursion trip to St. Malo, but, in consequence of her machinery requiring some repairs, the La Polka was substituted, and started with between thirty and forty passengers. When about six or seven miles from St. Heliers it was discovered, to the great horror of all on board, that she had sprung a leak, and was fast foundering, but that, in consequence of the wind be ing adverse, it would be useless to turn back, as be fore she could have performed half the distance she would be at the bottom of the ocean ; in this strait ' existed but one chance—that of reaching some small rocks called the Minques, on the coast of France, and which were then about six miles a head. Every pre caution was immediately taken to keep her afloat till the rocks were gained. The passengers and luggage were collected on the starboard bow, in order that the larboard side might be kept as much as pos sible out of water, that being the locale of the leak, the engines were wotked as fast as possible, a small sail was set, and the crew, assisted by some of the passengers, betook themselves to the most vigorous exertions in baling with buckets, there be ing lao pumps on board. The consternation was great, there being but very small hopes that the rocks could be gained, and from the heavy swell which pre vailed, and the little way she made, it was feared she would cLps:z-. When she was about two miles from the rocks an immense cloud of steam and ashes an nounced the fact that the water had reached the fires; all hope was now ebaedoned, and planks and other modes of keeping rfloat were eagerly sought for, but to the surprise of all, it was perceived that the paddles still kept slowly revolving (the engine working, it was afterwards ascertained, upon a va cuum). The baling was now continued with re newed exertion till the buckets, three in number, were literally knocked to pieces, and the vessel was ultimately brought up to within a quarter of a mile of the largest rock. The anchor was immediately , dropped, and two small boats which the vessel pos sessed instantly lowered. To the great credit of all, the utmost order prevailed, the ladies were sent off first, and not a man thought of leaving the vessel till they were all cleared, with the exception of one Frenchman, who endeavoured to get among the first boat load of women, but was instantly seized by the other passengers, and forced to wait. By reason of the smallness of the boats ' only four c ou ld b e ta k en off at a time, and, as may be imagined, all eyes were strained eagerly watching their slow going sad coming ; at last, under the providence of God, all were saved, the last boat ( pushing off as the ill-fated vessel went down, the water covering her masthead. After passing a dismal night on the bare rocks, the passengers were picked up by the steam-boat South-Western, from Wey mouth for St. Malo, the captain having luckily per ceived through his glass something unusual in the appearance of the rocks, and imagining that it might be a wreck, steered for them, to the great joy of those who were upon them, as it was only by reason of a spring tide that the South-Western was enabled to come within sight that day, and if they had not been perceived the chances were that they would have re mained for a very considerable period, as, from the very dangerous nature of these rocks, vessels seldom even approach them. Limpets, &c., were already their only articles of food, and the want of water bad began to be felt. WITCHCRAFT IN TIPPERARY. The following most extraordinary instance of Irish superstition has just occurred in the town of Roscrea. The facts are as follows :—A poor little girl, aged six years, named Mary Anne Kelly, daughter of Thomas Kelly, a resident of this town, has been for six months past in a dying gate, under the care of the dispensary physician. An old hag, who pro fessed to be one of those rare characters a " fairy woman," persuaded the parents of the child that it was " fairy struck," and offered to cure her if they would comply with her directions. To these terms they agreed. The child was to be placed on a shovel at night in the open air, in the name of the D—l, after having a prayer or invocation in the same name said over it. In the course of the night the mother was to say to her, " Mary Anne, if you are able to come in, do so." This was done for three nights in suc cession, on the last of which the child died, a victim to the credulity of its father and mother. While enduring the cold of the nights the cries of the little sufferer were most piteous ; and who can but wonder that a woman, and that wo man a mot h er, should not be softened y the distressing cries of the child of her bosom, who was an idiot, had been born blind, and, although six years of age, had never walked ? On Sunday last Mr. O'Mesgher, coroner, held an inquest on the body of the child. The following per sons ware sworn on the jury, namely, John Delany (foreman), W. Corcoran, Michael Doherty, Patrick Cahill, Richard Quin, Thomas Healey, John Cor coran, Jeremiah Maher, W. Saunders, Joseph Glen non, J.imes Phelan, j un ., an d S o l omon B. Matthews. Bridget Pesters, the " fairy doctress," and Mary Kt-ffy, the mother of the deceased, were present in the custody of the police. The first witness produced was Mary Maher, who stated that the "fairy woman " administered herbs in milk to the child, and said that it did nut belong to Mbry Kelly, as it was a fairy. Mary Kelp's own child she represented as having been taken away by the "good people ;" she also stated that she would either "kill or cure" the child. She blistered the child, and steeped it in water, after which she put the child out cn the shovel in the air for three nights. The child cried and called to its mother to bring her in. The "fairy woman" used to say to the child, " Mary Anne, get up and come in." The mother and she helped the child in. The " doctress" said that on the last night the child would be very black as there would be some faries beating it; and that she would either live or die after it. The witness also added, that " the witch" had been in the house of the mother of the child for several weeks for the pur pose, and that she heard Mary Kelly, the mother, say to the doctress, " Why don't you do it quick ?" On the third night the witness, who was a servant in the house, was ordered to put out the child on a shovel, and, having refused to do so, she was discharged. Another woman, named Mary Whitford, deposed that she heard Bridget Peters, "the fairy woman," say that she had s t up ifl e d t h e child three times, and had given her verbena and foxglove. Surgeon Pow ell deposed that he knew the deceased child, who had an affection of the brain and was very delicate. Ile was of opinion that death was caused by the treatment of Bridget Peters and Mary Kelly. The Coroner charged the jury, who returned a verdict of "Manslaughter" against both prisoners, who were then committed to gaol to abide their trial at the next assizes at Nenagh. ome years since the master tailor of a battalion of Lhe Foreign Legion and his wife and child were found mur dered in their bed in the barracks at Pau. Two sub-officers of the regiment were tried for murder, one of whom was ac quitted, amt the other, notwiths . ending his protestations of innocence, condemned and executed. An old cantinie of the regiment, has lately, it is said, made some revelations on her death-bed relative to the said murder, which completely prove the innocence of the sergeant who was executed, and seriously compromise other individuals. CHAMPIONSHIP OF TUB THAMES.--A match has been made for a boat-race between Robert Coombes, the pre sent Champion of the Thames, and Thomas Mackenny, of Richmond, who aspires to that honorary distinction. The conditions of the race are a clear right away waer no fouling) from Putney.bridge to the Ship at Mortla g ke, ( for 2001. aside, and in order that the most ample opportunity may be affoid :d for requisite prepartion for this great event, next May has been determined upon as the period at which the contest shall take place. 59/. has already been posted on either side, and deposits will be made on the first Monday in every month at various pl..ees until the whole amount is made good. It is difficult to say which of the two men has the preference. Coombes, although many years the cham pion, has always taken great care (f himself, but his oppo nent has the great advantage of being many years his junior, and although he has rowed but little compared with Coombes, has acquitted himself so ably. and exhibited so much game, as to induce his friends to back him for the above large stake.

The tenth half-yearly general meeting of the shanholders in this company was held at the Bridge ! house hotel yesterday ; J. Macgregor, Rl, in the The CltarumAN opened the proceedings by reading the report, which stated that the gross receipts du ring the half-year ending on the 31st of July amounted to 16,1131. 153. 2d., and that the working expenses and cost of repairs (wtthout insurance) amounted to 9,5181. 123. 3d., leaving a balance in hand of 6,9251. 123. Id. at the disposal of the share• holders. The receipts, compared with the corres ponding period of list year, showed an increase of 2,44/. 43. 21., and there was an increase of passen gers on the Bculogne route of 2,562, and on the Calais route of 2 374 The service between Dover and Calais had been maintained throughout the half• year under the arrangement with the North of France Railway Company, and the South- Eastern Railway Company, the former con tributing Si. per diem, and the latter 101. per diem; and on this footing the directors had agreed to continue the service for another year. An arrangement had alio been made with the Boulogne arid Amiens Railway for a double service between Folkestone and Boulogne, that company con tributing 2501. per month during the continuance of the service ; and the directors looked to the South- Eastern Railway to contribute to this service also, without which it cannot be maintained. The mer chandize traffic between Folkestone and Boulogne con tinued steadily to increase, the freight received for the carriage of merchandise between Folkstone and Bou logne during the last half-year having been 809/. 12s. 3d. The amount received during the previous half-year was 5401. 14s. 6J. The directors recommended the proprietors to declare a dividend for the half•year at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, free of income• tax, and to carry the balance which will remain, 4,506/. 7s. 7d., to the credit of the reserve fund. The chair man went on to say that, after deducting the sum proposed to be added to the reserve fund, they would bring down the cost of the vessels to 748/. less than they cost when first finished. That was not a very pleasing picture to look upon after seven or eight years' work ; but they must consider the company as formed merely to further the interests of the South-Eastern Railway Company. They had con veyed since they were first established 247,564 pas sengers with greater celerity and safety than under the old system. The average time of the voyage to Boulogne had been two hours and five minutes, and between Dover and Calais one hour and fifty-five minutes. They had been carrying passengers at a very low rate, and they must look to be maintained by the South-Eastern Railway Company. There was an article in the last number of the Economist on the postal communica tion between London and Paris, showing the great increase of traffic which steam communication had caused. He believed that this increased traffic would ultimately maintain the vessels of this company. The article went on to speak of the great advantages which would be derived by the completion of the railway to Marseilles, and the additional facilities which would be thereby afforded for communication with the east. He trusted that as this company, by its vessels, raised a bridge between this country and France, that it would be indemnified for the outlay it had made. He moved that the report be adopted. Mr. WEIGHT said he should never be satisfied t this company paid five per cent.; and he should like to know from the chairman when that was likely to be brought about. The railway company, at their meeting yesterday, did nut say a word about this company. The directors were of opinion that the packet service should be performed more with a view to advantage the railway company than to pay the owners of the packets. The prospectus of the com pany stated that the railway company would guarantee five per cent. The fact was, this company was doing everything for the railway company, but the railway company were doing nothing for them. The CHAIRMAN said he had felt the obligation of duty to this company as strongly as any one could. When the company was first formed it was with a pledge that the railway company would maintain it with a five per cent. dividend : there was a moral guarantee to that effect. But it must be borne in wind that though this company was now paying only four per cent., when it was first formed it paid a higher dividend, and he did not think that the railway company ought to be called upon until the average of the dividends paid by this company was less than five per cent. At the same time, any man of common understanding would eee that, not insuring their boats, they ran a great risk though they were FO well commanded. He quite agreed, however, with the HonourablePropriete:that.this company had a moral title to 5 per cent. ; and that had not been neglected by the railway company, for in the Bill of 1848 a clause was introduced to purchase the boats, but in the then internal state of the railway company it would have been totally impossible fur them to have carried it through Parliament. Even now, if they were to introduce such a Bill, they would be opposed py all the steam-packet companies in the kingdom, and particularly by the general Steam Navigation Com pany. The Hon. Proprietor said the rail way com pany passed no vote of thanks to:this company. Tbat was true, but they did something more substantial— .hey voted 3,6001. per annum towards maintaining the packet service; 1,810/. was voted for running a tidal boat to the port of Calais. It came to thi., that if these boats had not been used, a smaller number would have come over, and been passengers by the rail. Ile would observe that the steam-packet company consisted of 600 and odd proprietors of the railway, and when the proper time came it would be for them to attend •he meetings of the railway company, and advocate their own interests. The capital of the railway com pany was nine millions and a half, the capital of this company was 120,0001, and as the railway company depended so much on the packet service, he was sure they would eventually place this company on a proper footing. The motion fur the adoption of the report was then put and carried. The CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend, after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, be declared. Mr. YOUNG said be thought they ought not to carry over so large a surplus to the reserved fund, and he moved, as an amendment, that the dividend be 5 per cent. The amendment was seconded, and, after some discuFsion, was put and negatived. The original motion was then put and carried, as was also a motion for carrying over the surplus to the reserved fund. The meeting then separated. RAILWAY RETURNS TRAFFIC RETU NS FOR THE PAST WEEK. 3111 es opened, 1850. NAME OF RAILWAY. Reed SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES.—TLIUBSDAY.

We cannot call to mind any meeting at Doncaster, the last day of which presented so many attractions. The prominent features were the new stake for two and three years old, for which the public are indebted to the Earl of Eglinton, and the Cup; the entries for the for mer including several of the St. Leger favourites and Mr. Ford's flying mare Payment,sind the Cup elciting an unprecedented interest from the competition of two animals, both unconquered, and both winners of the Derby and St. Leger. Two well filled handicap plates, the Park Hill and the Don Stakes, served to make up a total which could not fail to draw an immense company. Time is not afforded us to do more than touch upon the events of the day ; we must, however, point to the defeat of the favourites for the Park Hill and Eglinton Stakes, and to the still more unlocked for result of the Cup. The race for the latter was run at an uneven pace—sometimes fast and at times slow—but the Dutchman had so great a lead till near the distance that to catch him seemed impossible. Volti geur, however, got to his head a few strides from the chair, and the colours of the hitherto invincible Dutchman were lowered It is quite out of our power to describe the excitement w hich ensued—we must leave it to the imagination of our readers. It was reported after the race that a ; arty of gentlemen had purchased the Flying Dutchman in the morning; we have reason to believe, however, that Lord Eglinton still retains an interest in bier. The meeting, incomparably the best in regard of sport and the most successful in all respects we ever attended, terminated with a capital race for the Nursery Plate, a very judicious substitute for the 1001, formerly run for in heats.

Lord George Paulet, who Ls to recommission the Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, on the paying off that ship at Devonport, is son of the Marquis of Winchester, has a brother Lieutenant-Colonel of the 68th Regiment, and the Coldstream Guards, and is brother-in-law to Captain Ramaden, R.N., and Lieutenant Charles Des Vosux, Bart. He has served 18 years afloat since his entry into the navy, through the college, in 1817. He served his time in the Liffey, 50; Cambrian, 48 Racehorse, 18 ; and Active, 46, chiefly in the Chan nel ; passed his examination ; and February, 1825. whilst on the South American station, was promoted from Blanche, 46, into the Jasseur, 18. O'Byrne does not record in what vessel his Lordship served his time as a Lieutenant, but we find he was promoted to a commander Feb. 28, 1828. In that rank from March, 1830, to June, 1834, he commanded the Nautilus in the Channel on the coast of Ireland ; in the Douro and Tagus during the whole of the civil war in Por tugal, and subsequently off the north coast of Spain at the commencement of the civil hostilities. He was promoted to his present rank on paying off the Nau tilus. His Lordship's last employment was in com mand of the Carysfort, 26, from December, 1841, to June, 1845, on the Pacific station. Whilst on this service he took the King of the Sandwich Islands to task for certain indignities, the result of which was the cession provisionally of the whole group, but the islands were restored by order of Rear-Admiral Thomas. The Carysfort conveyed the unfortunate Queen Pomare and 50 of her relations and suite, from Tahiti to Raiatea, one of the lee wardmost of the Society Islands. Lord George Paulet is in the 48th year of his age, and married July, 1835, the daughter of Major-General Sir George Wood, K.C.B. Spithead' yesterday presented a numerous show of pendants—there were at anchor the Blenheim, 60 screw-ship, Captain Henderson, C.B. ; the Thetis, 38, Captain Kuper, C.B. ; the Fox, 42, Commodore Lam bert; the Dragon, 6, steam• frigate, Captain Giffard; the Albatross, 12, Commander Elliot; and the Her cules, store-ship, Master-Commander Fulton. The wind veered from S.S.E. to S.S.W. yesterday, with some light rain, and at five P.M. was likely to settle in the S.W. For the last three weeks N.E. and E. winds, with dry weather, lave prevailed. Two companies of the Royal Artillery arrived at Gosport yesterday, via South-Western Railway from Woolwich, and embarked on board the Echo, tug-steamer, which conveyed them to the Apollo, troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, for passage to Jamaica. The Apollo proceeds to Cork for other de tachments. Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C. 8., arrived at Malta on the Bth instant, and on the 13th, in conse quence of cholera on board, was ordered to sail immediately for England, when she was towed out by the Oberon and proceeded. Whilst at Malta three men were sent to the hospital on the 12th, and nineteen more, of whom six have died, were subse quently sent on shore. A serious accident happened on the Pieta at Malta on Tuesday evening, the 10th instant, owing partly to very hard riding, and partly to the incomplete state of the road turning towards Sa Maison, it being covered w ith l arge l oose stones. There 'Charles B. Parke, Esq., First Lieut enan t Royal Marines, of the Bellerophon, was thrown from his horse and received a very severe contusion in the head, and became so frightfully convulsed that his life was considered to have been in great danger. The sufferer was conveyed on a sofa to the civil hospital, where we are glad to hear he is doing favourably, no bones being broken. Lieut. Parke is the nephew of Colonel Com mandant Parke, C.B, of Woolwich. At the time of the accident he was riding with Mr. William Culhane, an assistant-surgeon of the Bellerophon, who imme diately bled him, or it is believed he must have ex pired on the ground. Mr. Culhane sat up with the sufferer on the night of the accident, and in the morn ing had the inexpressible satisfaction of seeing him gradually become conscious, after a night spent in a state of total in'ensibility. Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate, C a pt a i n H a l s t e d , i s painting and beau: f ~ ing alongside Portsmouth yard. Her new fittings will detain her in port another fort night. Fearless, steam-tender, second Master Commander Veitch, has left Devonport to relieve the wind-bound l in the Clic ps of the Channel. Since she sailed, how ever, the wind has shifted. Portland, 50, Captain Chad:, fitting at Devonport, for the Pacific, will be undocked on the 24th. RAributicn, 22, steam-frigate, Captain "Warden, is still at the moorings off the King's-stairs, Portsmouth. She is now universally admired. :She has all her weights on board except her powder and shells, and swims just two feet more buoyantly than she did when loaded with her former heavy engines, when she drew upwards of nineteen feet water. She now draws a little more than sixteen feet. Vengeance, 84, Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, has been painted, and, now she is rigged and all ataunt, looks what she actually is—a splendid ship. She has received on board six months' provisions, and in about ten days her ship's company will be moved on board her from the hulk, where she will probably haul over to the mooring on the Gosport shore—to the mooring formerly occupied by the St. Vincent, where it is said she will remain for the winter months unless her ser vices should lyo required before that time. Commodore Lambert embarked on board the Fox, at Spithead, yesterday, and it is expected the ship will start after the arrival of the post this morning. Prince Ernest of Leiningen is also on board. Mr. Galt, of Portsmouth, has had the honour of fitting out his Serene Highness. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY. —The Albatross, 12, Com mander Elliott (acti ng ), anc h ored at Spithead at eight A.m. this day. She left Penang on the 18th of May, arrived at St. Helena on the 30th of July, and sailed on the sth ult. Lieutenant Griffiths, R.N., recently appointed superintendent of the station or depot at St. Helena for captured Africans, embarked 31,5 of these captives on the 3d of August for Trinidad, there re maining when the Albatross sailed only 11 in hospital. Lieut. Griffiths was remodelling and improving the encampment by .draining, whitewashing, &c. The St. Helena Gazette of the 3d ult. contains a long list of shipping disasters reported by the master of the schooner Bailey, which arrived at the island on the 29th of July. The Albatross arrived at Ascension on the 9th of August, and sailed on the following day. The Tor toise store and guard-ship, Captain Hutton, remained there. The Heroine, 8, Commander Marsh, sailed for the south coast the day before the Albatross arrived. The Prometheus steam-sloop, Commander H. A. Foote, had sailed to join the Commodore on the south coast. The station is reported generally healthy, and the slave-trade brisk. The Albatross has brought home Lieutenant Luckraft, first of the Ranger, and Dr. Tait, surgeon of the same vessel, invalided, and five seamen invalids, who were all landed at the Royal Naval Hospital, Hasler, this morning. Lieu tenant Brickwell, first of the Albatross, entered the service in 1828, and has been in constant employ ment, having 21 years' full-pay service. This officer has been for the last four years First Lieutenant of the Albatross, and was second in command of the ex pedition against the Bornean pirates, on which occa sion Commander Farquhar, who commissioned the Albatross, was promoted. The Hercules store-ship, Master Commander Ful ton, arrived this morning at Spithead from the Medi terranean. She has made a sorry passage. The mail from Malta is dated the middle of July. FALMOUTH, SEPT. 19.—Information has just reached this port of the Peterel packet, with the Bra zilian mails, having put into Castletown, in Ireland, on the 16th inst., being forced thither by the long continued easterly winds. Her dates of sailing are from Rio de Janeiro the 28th of July, Bahia the 7(h of August, and Pernambuco the 13th following. At her sailing from Rio the exchange was 27d., Bahia 27d., and Pernambuco 270. ; St oc k, 86 87. The following are passengers by the Peterel :—Mr. and Mrs. Guera, Mr. and Mrs. Sewer and family, Mrs. Napier and family, Miss Saunders, Miss Bancroft, Mr. W. Shepherd, Mr. G. Shepherd, Mr. Crawstern, Mr. J. J. P. de Olivern, and Captain Crofter, R.N. The Seagull packet, front Portsmouth, had arrived at Rio on the 15th of July, and the Spider schooner, with mails from the River Plate, on the 21st of July. This vessel sailed again with mails for the River Plate on the 26th following. The Peterel left at Rio, refit ting, her Majesty's frigate Southampton, with the flag of Admiral Reynold s , C. 8., and the Rifleman steamer was going into Rio from the southward. No further news known at present. APPOINTMENT. WOOLWICII, SEPT. 20 . — Commander GeDrge S. Hand (1841), to command the Hecate steam-sloop, commissioned this day at Portsmouth. The Hecate carries C guns, is 817 tons burden, and wa s b u ilt at Chatham in 1839 f rom a design by Captain Sir William Symonds, and is fitted with engines of 240-horse power. The Black Eggle steam-vessel, Master Commander S. B. Cook, returned to Woolwich to-day from her attendance on the Lords of the Admiralty during the it recent visit to the eastern ports, the Channel Islands, and Quecnstown, in Ireland. THE ROYAL PANOPTICON OF SCIENCE AND ART. A vestry meeting of the inhabitants of St. Paul's, Covent garden, was held last evening, at the vestry room, to consider the propriety cf promoting the erection of an institution to be called " The Royal Panopticon of Science and Art," on the vacant ground in Exeter-street and Burleigh-street. Mr. GEORGE WILKINSON, one of the churchwar dens, presided, and expressed his belief that the pro posed institution, which had already obtained a charter of incorcoration, would be a great benefit to the parish. Mr. E. M. CLARET, the resident director and cu rator of the institution, explained its formation and objects. The charter secured the limited liability of the shareholders, while the profits were left unre stricted. The probabilities of its paying were very great. It had been calculated that upwards of four millions were annually spent in London for sight seeing—a proof of the readiness of the inhabitants of the metropolis to support literary and scientific institutions. There was no doubt the shareholders would realize ten per cent., calculating the admissions at only 800 per day. It was proposed to give in structions in practical engineering, from which a fur ther income would be derived, as well as from the rent of stalls for exhibiting products of art and ma nufacture. The institution would possess a great ad• vantage in its central position. At the Polytechnic, Colosseum, and other similar institutions, more than double the money taken at the doors was paid for conveyance to the place. Mr. BROAD said that anything which improved the moral character of the parish must tend to decrease the parochial burdens, and he believed that such would be the effect of the proposed institution. He moved a resolution declaring that the institution ought to be encouraged by the parishioners; on the ground that it would bring an immense number of persons into the parish, and would increase the trade thereof. Mr. VERITY seconded the motion. Mr. IVALIEEtt opposed it, on the ground that so much property was required for the institution that it could not possibly be remunerative; and, should it turn out unproductive, where was their security for their rates ? Let them look at Covent-garden Theatre, where the parish had actually been obliged to put in executions for their rates. Mr. JENKINS also opposed the resolution, and re ferred to the failure of the Adelaide. Gallery. The resolution was carried by a majority of 12 to 9. A further resolution for the appointment of a com mittee to carry out the views of the meeting, was atrongly opposed on the ground that it pledged the parishioners to take shares in the institution, and was negatived by 13 to 10. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. BRITISII.
