This Company being now completely registered, the Directors take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a statement of its progress and prospects. It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought before the public with equal prospect of speedy and successful results. The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc tors, and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure an enormous dividend within a few months. Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in California, has been in that country five months, and the course adopted by the Directors for carrying out this enterprise results from the experience obtained by him during that period. The instructions given. to Sir Henry Hunt ey.were, in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com parative merits of the different quartz veins in the several districts of California, and after mature deliberation to advise the Directors as to their best course of proceeding, and to take such measures as would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as possible. Following these instructions, he has secured for the benefit of the Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; but he is clearly , of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to under take mining operations, but to crush and amalgamate quartz to be supplied by those who are possess° I of mines, and have raised the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen of great experience in geology and mining matters, he has inspected and tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion, upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for car rying on our enterprise. He has, therefore, entered into an agree ment with some American gentlemen, who have formed a company, and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of quartz, distant about three miles from Grass Valley and Nevada Cite, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City, to crush and amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the mina opened by them. By means of machinery, he has already cru and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup plied him from this mine; and the result of his operations has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average richness, and that the locality offers many important advantages in the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., &c. He has, there fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company, which, in a few words, amounts to this: he is to be supplied by them with as much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing; the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ; he is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expense, and he gdd produced is to be divided equally between the owners of the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements for carrying out the above arramiement fairly and honestly, and without any copartnership, have been entered into. Steam-engines and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz a day, with fends sufficient for putting it in motion, have been placed under the control of Sir Henry Huntley; and, unless some unexpected delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a return will be made about Christmas next. For the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company, and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits of other Companies, the Directors are desirous of calling attention to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by this Com pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies must mainly rely upon reports sent over by persons interested in selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other Companies generally base the estimate of the value of their mine upon calculations founded on experiments upon a few pieces of specimen quartz, sent over to this country for the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to the British public ; we found our calculations upon experiments tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to incur the expense and risk of carrying out miniug operations upon their vein, before the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should their labours prove successful, they must then pay out of their profits large per-centages for obtaining their leases, and large royal ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz as our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure as that of any other company, unfettered by any per-tentage or royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the parties who supply us, free of expense, with the quartz, being in fact merely equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the new companies, unlike this, must be a considerable time before their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out their schemes—this Company alone is actually at work. The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,0001. An almost certain estimate of the produce of our machinery can be formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within the next twelve months. According to the data furnished to us, the quartz which we are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 1/. 17e. 4d. per cwt., or 371. 6s. Sd. per ton; and, as we can crush and amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that would amount to 7461. 139. 4d., or 3731. s. Sd. per diem as the share of this Company- By the peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based upon practical experience, the economy in working expenses must necessarily be such as to render the current outlay most trifling. In case circumstances should inducs the Directors to alter the system now adopted, and lead them to undertake mining operations of their own, arrangements have teen made securing four distinct sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered him their COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

By the arrival of the Royal Mail steam-ship America, Shannon commander, we have received advices from New York to the 17th instant. She has 1,121,579 dollars io specie on freight. The America sailed from New York at 1.10 r.m. on the 17thlinstant, with a strong breeze from the west north-west. She made Cape Clear at midnight on the 27th; at eight A M. yesterday, off Waterford, she passed the Royal Mail steam-ship Cambria, for Bos ton ; and saluted the Rock Lighthouse shortly before two o'clock this morning, having made the run in 11 days 8 hours mean time. The Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, Stone, with the mails from Liverpool of the 30th ult., arrived at Boston on the 13th inst. The United States' screw steam-ship Pioneer, Eldridge, commander, which sailed from Liverpool on the 22d ult., arrived at New York on the 13th inst. The Christiana treason ;trial, for the rescue of the fugitive slaves, in which the owner was killed, has ended in the acquittal of Hanway, and the withdrawal of all the other indictments. The Forrest divorce case was still proceeding, and still likely to occupy several days. Mr. Forrest himself had been examined. Mr. G. V. Brooke, the actor, had made a tolerably successful debiit at the Broadway Theatre, as Othello. An awful domestic tragedy occurred near St. John, N. 8., on the 7th instant. A crazy man, after calling his family to prayer, attacked and killed his wife, two children, and an aunt, and very dangerously injured four other persons. The principal subjects of interest in Congress had been the debates on the reception of Kossuth and on the Compromise Acts. The proceedings of Kossuth continue to occupy the columns of the New York papers to the exclusion of other matter. The greatest en thusiasm prevailed, and contributions of money in aid of the Hungarian cause, as represented by Kossuth, were freely offered. The New YorA Herald gives the following brief sketch of the princi pal doings for the week ending on the 16th inst. The length to which the speeches extend prevents, us from giving them in full : " Kossuth's speech on Thursday at the metropo. litan banquet, is by far the greatest he has made since he came to this country, and the greatest he ever made in the English language. Not only does he completely vindicate himself: and his country's cause for the past, but he clearly develops his policy for the future. The prejudices and misapprehension which bad been excited by Austrian guile, and the advocates of civil and religious despotism all over the world, have disappeared before his unvarnished tale,' like mist before the morning sun. He makes out a most triumphant case for Hungary. The banquet of the New York city press to Kossuth, at the Astor House, on Monday night, was in some points an elegant, and in others a very curious affair. The dinner was excellent. The admission of the ladiei to hear the speech of Kossuth was an excellent feature; for without them the assemblage of the tall and wise, and reverend and juvenile heads' of the corps editorial and reportorial would have exhibited rather a dry gathering. But the speech of Kossuth is ex ceedingly interesting. As for the rest it was exceed ingly stupid and unintellectual. The whole affair appears to have been got up for the spe cial glorification of the Tribune and Times. We learn, on undoubted authority; that a very important passage which Kossuth intended to deliver in his speech, and which was actually in the manuscript which he read, was suppressed, on second considera tions, from motives of delicacy to Colonel Webb, who was one of the hosts, though he did not come to en tertain his guest. The passage seriously implicated the ex-Charge to Austria, and will probably soon be given to the public by Kossuth in another shape. When the great exile was in Kutayah he received a copy of an article from Vienna, having been taken by a friend from the very bureau of the Cabinet, and he was informed this article would afterwards appear in a New York paper. In a few weeks it will appear. This is a serious affair, and it is due to the cause of Kossuth to give the matter to the public in his own words. The presentation of Kossuth to the First Division of the New York State Militia, at Castle Garden, last night, was a magnificent affair. The uniforms of the various companies showed to the greatest advantage, and the whole arrangement, so far as the gorgeousness of spectacle is concerned, has not probably been hitherto surpassed on this con tinent. The speech of the Magyar, in reply to General Sandford, as was anticipated, was patriotic in the extreme, and met with torrents of applause. It is on occasions of this kind that the great Hungarian evidently feels most at home—he sees around him the - Sold by the proprietors, Lea and Pei Tins, 6, Vere-street, Oxford greet, London, and 68, Broad-street,.

The gentlemen who formed the Provisional Committee of this Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very largo body of Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the Dire ;tory was due to those Shareholders who have in fact estab lished and nobly supported this Company. Measures will be taken for further augmenting the Directory, and a Special General Meet ing of the Shareholders will be convened for the middle of January. In conclusion, the Directors beg to offer their best thanks to the Shareholders for the uniform support they have received, and they pledge themselves that the affairs of this Company shall be con ducted with the most rigid economy, and with the sole view of for warding the interest of the Shareholders. The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly to the fact that, from the system adopted by this Company, it can not be affected by the question now agitated between the holders of leases and Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for the operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed Thethetedniulirceult arising out of the many points of land under leases, had been long nowby l a o i s n e e d l Fremont. rel ativoto known to and was maturely considered by those having the control of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful results.

And while I thus reposed upon my bed, A sound of music floated roued my head ; For, understand, although I was asleep. Some little consciousness f seemed to keep ; So, when I heard the music, soft and sweet, I knew the Christmas waits were in the street. I listened to their strains in various modes, And f ,ndly thought of Pope's and Dryden's Odes, In which, by either poet, we are told, Of what the famed maisicians did of old ; And while I heard the music of the waits, I pictured harpers at the castle gates, And many a fond romantic scene arose, Till music steeped me in a deeper doze. A curious dream then came across my mind, Original and novel in its kind : Methought that lIYAM was desired to call On Father Christmas at his ancient hall; The object of the visit was not stated, And nothing in the least was intimated, Yet HYAM, from his manner, seemed to guess Some special Terrence with regard to dress, And making up his mind without Jclay, Ile called on Christmas on the appointed day. The abode of Father Christmas was a pile Precisely in the old baronial sty le ; A noble English mansion did it seem, And much did it delight me in my dream. Thick on its lawn the holly bushes grew, The smiling mistletoe and myrtle, too, While verdant bays a laurel boughs were seen nd To vary pleasingly the winter green. lIYAM arrived precisely to his time, And found the " festive father" in his prime of glow, ; His eyes were bright, his c heeks were full d'e do , J , u o s o t o a s d m they o were e g r , e s v ( e s hundred c hris years s a h g o o w . „ Good morning, sir (said l IYAM), how are y y ou ?""

A sumptuous least is very well, I know, And glad I am my subjects find it so : I love the feast, the holly, and the log— B u t what are these with a change of ' tog ?'

The following testimonial is another proof of the great efil cacy of this medicine : " 157, 'New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC 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 19th Dragoons, and In Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by th:se who know some thing of this disease. perfect " It was durin thate of thse recommends between twelve and thir teen years ago, I was ed to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in health.

Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement.

Towards the conclusion Itossuth remarked that he had been presented with an American sword, which he held in his hand, and made a solemn vow that it should be always faithful in the cause of freedom—ever first in battle, and never polluted by ambition or cowardice." Kossuth had published the following addresses : " TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. " New York, Dec. 12. "Having come to the United States to avail my self, for the cause of my country, of the sympathy which I had reason to believe existed in the heart of the nation, I found it my duty to declare, in the first moments of my arrival, that it is my mission to plead the independence of Hungary and the liberty of the European continent, before the great Republic of the United States. My principle in this respect is, that every nation has the sovereign right to dispose of its own domestic affairs without any foreign interference; that I, therefore, shall not meddle with any domestic concerns of the United States, and that I expect from all the friends of my cause not to do anything in re- Apect to myself that could throw difficulties in my way, and, while expressing sympathy for the cause, would injure it. " It is with regret that I must feel the necessity of again making that appeal to the public opinion of this country, and particularly to those who profess them selves to be the friends of my cause, to give one proof of their sympathy by avoiding every step which might entangle me in difficulties in respect to that rule which I have adopted, and which I again declare to be my leading principle, viz., not to mix, and not to be mixed up with whatever domestic concerns or party questions. "L. KOSSUTH." " KOSSUTH'S VIEWS RELATIVE TO FRANCE. " Europe is to-day divided in two camps ; on one side that of the despots, the Czar, the Austrian Em peror, and all the Sovereigns who follow in their track; on the other side, the camp of the oppressed peoples who aspire to independence—Hun gar y, Italy, Germany, to which it is necessary to join France, who was the first to enter the arena. Between these two camps are found the two great neutral Powers— the United States and England—which I wish to in duce to unite, in order that they may counterbalance the Russian influence and prevent the Czar from in terfering in our national struggles. I could not rank France among the neutral Powers, since she is with us and for us. Ido not speak of the Government of M. Bonaparte, with which I have nothing to do, and the existence of which is very near its end; but I know that we can rely with all security upon the French nation. From the day when she will have again her free arbiter—and that day is not far distant—the Euro pean people know that they will find her in the first ranks of the great struggle which they have to pur sue against despotism. This is the reason, gentle men, why the name of France is not found in my speeches in connexion with those of England and the United States. France is an ally, a sister for oppressed nations: she walks under the same flag; it would be to disown her mission and destiny, to rank her among the powers which have not yet direct engagements in our cause, and the support of which we look for obtaining. I was very glad to give you these explanations, and you can make use of them ; but I will take care, besides, to seize the first oppor tunity in order to publicly unfold what I have first said to you. I knew for a long time how to appraise the great French nation, and I do not want to see every one mistaking the sentiments I feel in her respect." The Parliamentary elections in Upper Canada, so Far as they had taken place, had resulted favourably the Ministerial party. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, TUESDAY NIGHT, DEC. 16.

No one of Lord George Bentinck's colleagues could have been selected, Rho, from his high literary attainments, his personal intimacy and party asso eiations, would have done such complete justice to the memory of a friend and Parliamentary associate. Mr. Dis raeli has here presented us with the very, type mad embodi ment of what history should be. His sketch of the condi tion of parties is seasoned with some of those piquant personal episodes of party manoeuvres and private intrigue, in the author's happiest and most captivating vein, which convert the dry details of politica into a sparkling and agree able narrative. But the portrait which will stamp the book as one of the most extraordinary productions of the time is that of Sir Robert Peel. It is written with wonderful force and extraordinary impartiality." SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY, DEC. U.—The Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navir.tinn Company's ship Sultan, Captain George Brooks, sailed this afternoon for Gibraltar. Malta, and Constantinople, with twenty passengers, a large and valuable cargo for the Levant markets, and a small quantity of specie for Constantinople. The Euxine, Captain R. W. Evans, from the same ports, will be due at Southampton about the 6th or 7th proximo. The Penisular and Oriental Company's steamer Iberia, C. F. Burney, R.N., commander, took her departure with the usual mails for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon ? Cadiz, and Gibraltar, on Saturday. She had a fair number of passengers, a good cargo, but took out no specie. The next homeward mails from the same ports will be brought by the Montrose, Captain John Bowen, expected to reach Southampton about Saturday or Sunday next. The Royal Mail steam-ship Amazon, Captain Symonds, is appointed to take out the West India and Gulf of Mexico mails of the 2d proximo, and the. Trent will be due at Southampton, with the next homeward mails, about the 7th or Bth proximo. The Teviot, Captain R. Revett, will take out the Brazil and Rio La Plata mails of the 9th of [CAL NOTES.

Had all the ports been supplied as freely as that of New Orlean s and as early, there is no doubt th a t t h e orders for middling at 4d. free on board with f r ei g ht wou ld have been executed. But such was not the case. Low waters prevented supp lies reaching other gult p o rt s an d on the Atlantic Sta tes , planters having ampl e moans a d opted a different policy. The aggregat e r ece ipt s at t h e ports consequently but little from th ose o f l as t season, and the stocks 7ofvathre raw material being exhausted in spinners' hands, both athome and abroad, prices are sustained above the parity of the low limits received. What will be the future action of planters, therefore, it is important to ascertain. We inoline to the question that the receipts will be heavy between the 15th of January and the Ist of March. and subsequently depend upon the prospects of the planting season, but we do not expect at any period as low rates as those early anticipated, unless produced by political disturbanzes in Europe. On this subject there is at this moment an uneasy feeling, which tends more to restrict operations than any apprehension that the crop will prove excessive for the want of consumption. BREADSTUFFS.-The closing of our canal and river navigation about ten days earlier this year than usual, which has taken place since my last circular was dated, has made an important change in the flour and grain market. Influenced by this fact, and an exceedingly light market-estimated at not over 400,000 barrels of all kinds of flour and 200.000 bushels of wheat (and by many thought to be much less)-pri almost daily advaneed, and the quotations bel w an in creased (within the last fortnight) of 371 c. to 50c. per bbl. on flour, Bc. to 100. per bushel on wheat, 4c. per bushel on Indian corn, and 50. on rye. The demand, mostly for home consumption, has been active at lower rates, but with the upward inclination, the transactions have become quite limited. The export movement has been checked by these causes, and we can hardly expect any activity for some time to come, without a material reduction or extended want in England and the conti nental ports. A portion of the stock now detained on the canals will be brought to market throught the winter by means of the railroads ; but this can only be done by an addition of about 50c. per barrel on the usual trans portation charges. Flour -There is but little afloat, and the article from store is not being freely offered by holders, leaving the market firm but inactive. The larger portion of the stock consists of fancy extra qualities, not suitable for the usual shipping orders. The closing rates are 4 dolls. 43ic. to 4 dolls. 500., from ordinary to choice state ; 4 dolls. 4340. to 4 dolls. 56ic. for Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio; pure Genesee, 4 dolls. 56-Ic. to 4 dolls. 62ic.; fancy and extra Ohio and Genesee, 4 dolls. 62}0. to 5 dolls. 50c.; uninspected, 3 dolls. 25c. to 4 dolls. 25c., according to quality. Canadian has also ad vanced, and closes at 4 dolls. 184 c. to 4 dolls. 25c. in bond. Southern brands are firm, with an upward ten dency.

Corn meal remains at 3 dolls. 181 c. for Jersey, and 3 dolls. 374 c. to 3 dolls. 50c. for Brandywine. Grain-Wheat for milling here and at the Eastern ports is in good demand, and is also wanted for export, Gut the late increase of price has prevented the execu tion of orders. With a light stock and in few hands, prices are well maintained, and at the close holders wore asking much higher rat( s; white Genesee being held at 105 c. to 110 o.; Michigan white, and red, and mixed Ohio, 1000. to 105 c.; Canadian, in bond, 92c. to 24c.; white Southern, 1000. to 105 c.; rye is selling for distilling purposes at 75c. to 76c. ,• Barley is dull at 80c. to 82c.; Oats 44c. to 460. for Western.

The ritting of this court was resumed yesterday (Monday) morning, bofore Mr. Joseph Pollock, the judge. There were nearly 1,200 cases entered for trial. Mr. ltsuvhay, the late judge, did not attend the court, but he sent a letter to the clerk, dated, " Temple, Dec. 27, 1851," adjourning the sittings in the following terms:— " Sir,—You will please to adjourn the County Court, when it shall be holden on the 29th mast., to the 27th of January, A.D. 1852; and I do hereby order the same to bo so adjourned accordingly. " WILLIAM RAMSHAY, " Judge of the County Court of Lancashire, holden at Liverpool." This communication was in Mr. Ramabay's own handwriting, but no allusion was publicly made to the circumstance, and the business of the court proceeded as usual. It had long been generally considered here that Mr. Ramshay bad given up all idea of testing the validity of his removal from the judgeship of the Liverpool County Court by the Earl of Carlisle after the recent inquiry before his Lordship at Preston ; but this communication, and other circumstances that have lately transpired, have very materially altered the general impression. It seems to be the opinion of the new judge, Mr. Pollock, that Mr. Ramshay will undoubtedly endeavour to reinstate himself in his office, for in the course of the day Mr. Wheeler, solicitor, applied to his Honour to have a ease reheard which Mr. Ramsbay had already decided against Mr. Wheeler's c:ient. At the November sitting a similar application was made to Mr. Pollock by Mr. Wheeler, but his Honour declined to interfere until the result of Mr. Ramshay's appeal was known. This morning his Honour again postponed the rehearing of the case until after next term, and, from this decision, it is obvious that ho expects Mr. Ramshay's case to come b3foro the judges in January. COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS. The annual meeting of this excellent charity held yesterday at the London Tavern; J. Master man, Esq., M.P., president of the institution, in the chair. After the usual routine busines', the report of the board of management was read by the secretary, from which it appeared that the total amount of re ceipts for the year from all sources was 5,4261. Bs. 4d. This sum was lower than the recipts of the preceding year, but in that year extraordinary exertions had been made to increase the funds, and especially the building fund. Although the institution bad been in existence five years, it was gratifying to , find that only one case of illness had terminated fatally. Dur ing the last twelve months the children enjoyed per fect health. The board had expected that they would have been able to announce that they had met with a site for building; bat they regretted to say they were nut in a position to do so. Some months ago a formal application was made to the directors of every rail way company having a terminus in London. This application was favourably entertained, but no site had as yet been fixed upon, or pointed out to the satisfaction of the board. The board, however, still hoped to be able to accomplish this object to the satis faction of the friends of the charity. During the year that has just expired six boys had left the insti tution, having completed their term; and it afforded the board satisfaction to be able to say that, through the kind and active influence of friends of the charity, situations had been obtained for those boys, which, by perseverance and steadiness, will enable them to fill a respectable position in life. From the general balance sheet it appeared that the receipts were made up as follows : 424 Ditto Donations for general purposes 17 0 Subscriptions (received) (new) 419 8 6 Presentations for two children..., 2lO o o Donations for the Building Fund 1 ... 073 I I 0 Dividends on Stock ......................

Christnias has interfered with the amount of transactions, but in some di stricts the abundance of employment has caused labour to be less neglected than usual during the At Manchester the home inquiry has improved, bhulidtres. export business has been rather small. Although the market closed without animation, the lowness of stocks causes a feeling of confidence. At Birmingham there has been no diminution of activity, and the American demand has been particularly good. From Nottingham it is stated that most of the manufacturers are in receipt of orders suffi. cient to insure occupation for a long time, and that pauper ism is unprecedentedly light. In the woollen markets there have been distinct signs of improvement. The Irish linen trade has been without alteration. - The letters of allotment for the 400,0001. Canada Six per Cent.

PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 29--C tain Alexander ap Milne, one of th e J un i or Lords of the Admiralty, arrived in this dockyard to-day and made a cursory inspection. After visiting the Port-Admiral and Admiral-Superintendent, Captain Milne, accompanied by Captain Henderson, C. 8., and Captain Sir Richard Grant, went round the yard. They inspected the Neptune, 120, fitting out as the depot ship at this port; also the Vincent, 100, in the basin; and after wards went on board the Simoon steam-frigate, where they remained from half-past eleven until twelve o'clock, when they repaired to the office of Rear- Admiral Prescott, C.B. Sir Richard Grant and Capt. Milne returned to London this afternoon, the latter having, previous to departure, gone on board the Rod ney, 92, Captain Graham, C. 1., thence to the Mala bar coal depot, and thence to the Britannia, 120, Cap tain Goldsmith, fitting for the flag of the Commander in-Chief elect of the Mediterranean squadron. The Simoon iron steam-screw frigate is receiving her tanks. She will have steam up again on Wed nesday, to try her engines, and will come out of the steam-basin on the 6th proximo, when she will be taken out of harbour by Captain Henderson, to test her speed and stability. The Dee steam troop-ship, Lieutenant West com manding, came into this harbour to-day to replenish fuel, after which she will proceed to Woolwich to be psid off. The Echo steam-tug went out to Spithead to-day to bring in the naval and marine invalids brought home by the troop-ship Resistance, Master Com mander Bradshaw, which remains at Spithead await ing orders. The Resistance landed her invalid seamen, marines, l and soldiers (about one hundred), and she will pro ceed to Deptford with the stores she has brought home from the Mediterranean. The following is the number of men borne on the books of the undermentioned ships, including tenders : —Britannia, 650 ; Birkenhead, 130 ; Dee, 60; Excel lent., 670 ; Neptune, 560 ; Rodney, 340; Retribution, 290 ; Victory, 530 ; Victoria and Albert, 110 ; Blen heim, ordinary, and supernumerary engineers, 20. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 29.—Her Majesty's 8-gun brig Rapid; Commander Blane, which left Spithead on the 11th inst. for Madeira, Rio Janeiro, Hong Kong, and the East India station, having experienced a succession of very heavy gales, by which she received some damage, has put back to this port. On the 17th, in lat. 44.24 north, long. 9 50 west, she encoun tered a gale from the south-west, which bilged the boat hanging over her quarter and carried away the tiller two feet from the rudder head. This gale lasted about 48 hours. She met a second from the south west on the 20th inst., in lat. 42.40 north, long. 11.24 west, accompanied by torrents of rain and very heavy squalls. Commander Blane then determined to bear up for Lisbon, but on the 23d, in let. 44 21 north, long. 9 .50 west, the wind shifted suddenly to south south-east, and finding that the bowsprit was sprung they were compelled to run for the nearest lee port in England, and carried the gale with them to within 60 or 70 miles of the Lizard, when the wind fell light. For seven days she was hove to under close reefed maintopsail and fore staysail, which canvas best suited her, but she was very wet ; all the time she strained considerably, and scarcely a man on board had a dry jacket. After bearing away she behaved uncommonly well, ri-ing freely over the seas. Her topsides were so much worked that the officers could not sleep in their cabins on account of their leakage. expected vsurvey that will sh b e will g e held to- d ay up harbour on her defects,have and anew it is bowsprit and be caulked.
