They numbered 38, including matrogs and sub-matrons, and were conveyed to Gravesend, frOmi Blackwall, b y t h e Satellite steamer. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Herbert, the Honourabl e A. Ki nn aird, and Mrs. Kinnaird, Mr. Higgins, Mr. Thackeray, and a party of ladies and gentlemen interested in the welfare of the emigrants accompanied them to the ship, where they were received on board by Lieutenant Lean, R.N., the Government emigra tion agent, and by that gallant officer were shown round the vessel. The Culloden is 558 tons, old measurement; 125 feet on the main deck, and 28 feet broad. She is a stout built ship, and is very roomy between decks, the height being more than six feet under the beams. Of course all was confusion from the accession of the needlewomen to the other passengers previously em barked, making altogether 115 souls ; but it must have been, nevertheless, most gratifying to those who have shown so warm an interest in the emigrants to have found that every pains had been taken to render them happy and comfortable on their long voyage to a flourishing colony, where their labours will, doubt less, be better appreciated and remunerated than in the metropolis. The emigrants are berthed in cabins, ranging on each side of the main deck, and although there is not the same ventilation, perhaps, that is re ceived by the mode of fitting the Government emigra tion ships, and the classification of the emigrants, in consequence of the greater number of bulkheads, yet the division of the deck into cabins adds to the privacy of the passengers. The cabins are so arranged as to accommodate from three to eight or ten each, for hich prices, varying from 161. downward for each adult, have been paid. The emigrants were all mustered in presence of Mr. Sidney Herbert and his friends, and many a kind and cheering word was spoken both by ladies and gentlemer, as the objects a their solicitude and their bounty passed them and proceeded to their strange and cheerless looking berths. Numbers appeared sorrowful, and many wept at the position in which misfortune and misery alone had placed them • but others looked smili ng , h appy , an d contented, and all were most grateful to their generous benefactors. With tears of thankfulness they pressed the proffered hands of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert at parting ; and as the steamer left the Culloden, the crew, uniting with the emigrants, gave their benevolent friends three hearty cheers, at the sound of the boatswain's call. [PRICE SD. We understand that the provisions and the water had all been duly inspected, and guaranteed as of the first quality, whilst the fittings had been carefully attended to under the personal superintendence of the gallant and indefatigable emigration agent. D. Sparke, the inspecting medical officer of the emigra tion commissioners, was present, and in conjunction with the surgeon in charge, Mr. Thompson, in whom the committee place great confidence, examined all the pasengers when they all passed muster with the exception of one married woman, to whom they ob jected on account of the precaricu3 state of her health, and she was sent ashore, the agent returning tl e passage money. The Culloden will leave Gravesend to-day, in tow of a steamer so far as the Downs. She will then be cast cf, and will proceed direct to Port Philip, without touc',ing at any intermediate port, being amply stored in every respect for the whole voyage, which, it is expected, will be accomplished within the three months. Mr. Sidney Herbert and Mr. Kinnaird in th.e. course of their visit to G..avesend, accompanied Lieut. Lean on board of the S:r Robert Sale, another emigrant ship, also bound to Port Pnilip. She is a remarkably fine Moulmein teak-built vessel of 720 tons old measurement, length on the main deck, 131 feet, and breadJi, 29 feet. She is chartered by the Government, and has ben fisted cut, stored and provisioned under the in,pec!ion of the Government officers. She has on board 69 males, 39 females, and 33 children ; and is to proceed to Plymouth to fill up her com?lement to 300. II fittings are different to those of the Culloden. Tho married people are berthed amidships, the unmarried females in the afier part, and the unruarri.d men in the fere part of the main -deck, each section being cut off by a strong bulkhead, with " louvering" doors, to facilitate the free passage of air. 'Torre are no cabins as in the Culloden, and consequently there is better ventilation and they have much more room for moving about by the fitting of portable tables and stools, which, rang ing along the decks, a r e eas il y lowered down from the ceiling of the upper deck when wanted, and as easily shut up and secured when not required. The gen tlemen who accompanied Mr. Lean highly approved of this mode of fitting the ships, and we believe the next emigrant ship for the needlewomen will .be fitted in a similar manner. The Sir Robert Sale is corn• manded by CaptainLoeder.!She is a good noted sailing ship, is well Lund, well manned and officered, and has a highly-respectable medical gentleman attached to her. Her last voyage was with the p ens i oners t o New Z.N;land, when she made the run from Ccrk in 8-1 days. She will leave the river to-morrow. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Ste,—Your urbanity generally when a refutation to any unfounded charge is noide in your valuable paper will not be withheld from me on this occasion. A lengthy and most unmanly anonymous charge is made in your publication of Friday last, under the head of the " Southwark Police-court," in wEch my character and honesty is impeached. The society was com menced by a few gentlemen of known respectability ; a preliminary prospectus was sent to all the resident clergy and gentry, begging their co-operation. The originators opened a soup kitchen at their own indi vidual loss, two days weekly (Tuesday and Thurs day) ; the society was but in its infancy, and had not the means to do it of.ener. On those days soup and bread was distributed liberally; the kitchen was (as it is now) open for the public inspection. The posi-_ Lion of the Place, it is true, is in the very vortex of destitution—the Mint (could a better situation be sought for); the interior, if my very reverend inquirer had but taken the trouble to visit, was clean and com fortable, and our books open for his inspection. I remain, yours obediently, T. GIBRINS. Ne. 33, Red Cros3,s.treet, Borough, Feb. 25, 1850. DEATH OF FORT4VIAJOR CANSII:—The. death of this veteran officer took place on Tuesday forenoon last, in the Castle. He had been slightly indisposed for several months previous, but his malady did not assume a serious app9aran2e till within three weeks before his death. Major Cansh has acted f a considerable t . me as fort-major in Edinburgh Castle. During the progrsss of the Peninsular campaigns, the du:mased officer distin guished himself on several occasions by his brilliant EX' Pelts, and in particular when he signalised himself as an intrepid soldier by bAng the firs; man who planted his foot on the summit of the ramparts ( f Badajoz. The medal awarc'el last year to Major Cansh, along with those of the other Peninsular heroeF, in terms of the general order of July, 1847, bore no fewer than twelve c h l a a d s p i : : erepresenting his r n e u m na a t i n e r s o w f e actions understand, inwhich re h to e be interred to day at two o'clock, with military honours in the Dean Cemetery ' the funeral precession passing from the Castle dower Bark-i:r.:et, and the Mound, and along Printe's-street.

PORTSMOUT MONDAY.—The Phaeton, 50, Cup tain George Elliot, started from the Downs for this port on Tuesday, but the wind becoming foul and the tide also when off Folkestone, she ran back to an anchor for the night. She has since been detained by foul wind and employed in picking up an anchor she lost. The swivel which broke was male of bsd iron, and parted with very little strain on the cable— fortunately when the crew were prepared ; " it might have broken," says our letter, " when our safety depended upon it." The Phaeton w:11 not leave the Downs without a fair wind to carry her clear of Dun geness before dark. What with sick and men wait- ing at this port and Plymouth, she is 100 short of complement. Her volunteers from Liverpool were all sent to Plymouth, or she would have been manned long since. She will only lie one day at Spithead with a fair wind, and two days if a foul one. She is anxiously looked for here. The Fortitude, for the Cape of Coed Hope, sailed this morning. The Lady Bruce emigrant-ship, Burns master, sailed this morning for Port Natal. The three casks of beef were sent on board this morning, where Mr. Edward A. Smith, the assistant emigration officer, inspected it, and finding it to be good, and of the same quality as that required for emigrants, and all other matters being in proper order, and the passen gers satisfied, Mr. Smith permitted the captain to get under weigh. Accordingly, the ship started at one P.M. this day, with a fine easterly breci?, for her des tination. Mr. Smith left the ship when she was just under weigh, amidst the continued cheering of the passengers. The passengers went away in high spirits, and eminently satisfied with all the arrange ments for their comfort and settlement. The Windsor, one of Green's fine fleet, for Madras and Calcutta, arrived here ,from the river this morn ing, and with the facilities we noted yestercl o sy, embarked her stock and passengers, and got under weigh this evening for her destination. No port in the kingdom could evidence quicker dispatch. PLYMOI3III, Fi n. 23.—The Gladiator steam- frigate, Captain James Adams, steamed from the Sound yes terday forenoon. Outside the harbour she made.sail with the wind from the north-west. Her tender, the Jackal, steamed after her, assisted by her fore and aft canvas. These vessels left Plymouth on the 31 in stant, bound for Madeira and the coast of Africa with mails. Having encountered heavy weather and re ceived considerable damage, they put back for repairs, and now make a second attempt to prosecute their voyage. The Hermes steamer, commander Fishbourne, having in tow the brigantine Dart, Second Master Mr. M'Clure, left port same time, bound to the Cape of Good Hope. The steam-sloop C3nflict, 8, Commander Thomas G. Drake, came in yesterday from Lisbon, and pro ceeds to the eastward to repair her engines, which are out of order. The Diligence transport sailed yesterday with stores for Pembroke. The Nautilus, 10-gun brig, was docked on Thurs day to repair and refit. The Crane and Linnet packets will be paid wages during the ensuing week. _ LORD GOUGH AND MAJOR ED WARDES AT SOUTHAMPTON. Yesterday the Assembly-rooms of the Victoria Hotel were fitted up in gala style. At twelve o'clock the large room was crammed with military and naval officers, no bility and gentry, and the inhabitatta of the town. Lard Gough was clecora'ed with the insignia of all his military honours, and, with his fernily, occupied the fwat e.3.ts of en elevated dais, and was surrounded with the inost distinguished persons in the town. As soon as the cheers with which Lord Gough and Major Edwardes weee greeted on their entrance had subsided, Sir GEonnE HEWETT, Bart., of Freementle, who had been an officer in Lord Gough's regiment, and had served under his Lordship, addressed the veteran war rior in a teraceful speech, and then presented to him the following address: To GENERAL THE RIGFIT HON. LORD VISCOUNT COUGH, G.C.B. " We, the undersigned residents of Southampton and its neighbourhood, beg leave respectfully to offer your Lordship our sincere congratulecloas on your return to your uative country, and to express our unfeigned al miretion of the many splendid victories gained by the British arms untller your Lordship's command. We are not unmindful that your Lordship has been engaged up wards of fifty years in the service of your country, load ing our soldiers to victory, in the Peninsula, in China, and India, more particularly in the l'unjeub, where the splendid achievements of the army under your Lora . - ship's command have placed your name in the proud position of one of the most distinguished soldiers of this or any ether country. Knowing that your Lordship has remised the highest marks of our Most Gracious Majesty's approbation, as well as on repeated occasions the unanimous thanks of both Houses of Parliament for your Lordship's eminent and distinguished service, we hail with the highest possible gratification this ear liest opportunity ef welcoming your Loxdthip on your arrival at this pert, and of wishing your Lordship a long continuance of health and happiness, and that the blessings of the Almighty Disposer of human events may rest upon the remainder of your days. In this our wel comeand the expression of our good wishes, we beg to include Lady Gough and your family." After a few moments Lord Gough rose and said— " Sir George Hewett, ladies, aid gentle,nen,—l thank you tut , sincerely for this very fl roering mark of at tention towards me, a perfect stranger to many of you, without ether pretensions than that to which so many naval and military men may justly lay c'a'm, an anxicus wish to foul t ) the utmost of their power and ability their duty to our Queen and our country, and to uphold that which has been so justly acquired by the Anglo- Indian army, the supreme:3r of the British power in India, contributing as it does so largely to the proud pc sition England new holds, proud from her military achievements, but much more proud from the loyalty of her sons. An absence of thirteen years has not lessened my nationality. Whilst warmly engaged in conducting war in distant lands, I have watched with deep interest the course of events in Europe, and I land on this favoured spot and on your fare-honoured sliorer, with a deep feeling of gratitude to that All wise Disposer o: events, who has grit oe 13 • uchse fed his shield of protectiun through not a few (kide of danger but ever in fieLis of cenerest, to the aged seldier who now addresses you. It is that Almighty Being who has safely cenlucted me with my long tried friend end pattner, together with so many m:.mbers of may to this land < f loyalty and true freedom. Called by a gracious Sovereign to the pe rformani e of other duties, I shall pray for the power of f them whit the same devote loess as drat which I trust history will accord to a career of mili' aq exertion extending over a period of fif.3 -six years. I'e:A the great bles,lng of peace may be the result of the recent military oreettions in India, which have a ided to our territories one of its richest provinces, I have a confident hope—but should our anti cipations not be realised, my country may safely confide in the w gallaatry, p:Aient endurance and c'evo- Con of the gallant army I had the good fortune to com mend—an army that never met a foe but to subdue them—that never coin nazneed a campaign wi:hout crown ire its terminatiqn with complete success. Again, my deer coil; t - ymen, allow me, on the part of La ly Gough and myself, to return you my best a_knowledgraents, my warzneet thanks, far this to me must valuable ter - timeny.of 30ur aperoval. It afforde me double gratifi cation to receive this address from the hands of one of my 'oldest friends and esteemed comrades, Sir George Hewett." Cheers were then again given fir Lord and Lady G3ugh, who bowed her acknowledgments. His Lord s** then led off a round of cheering fir the Queen, and retired with a'l his family and a numerous retinue of friends to his hotel. His Lordship hft Southampton for town at two o'clock. The following resolution was moved and carried at the town council of Southampton last week, in anticipation of the arrival of Lord Gough, and which prevented his Lordship being welcomed by the civic authorities of that town when he landed on Sunday night:— " That as war has ever been opposed to the best inte rests of mankind in its fearful consequences against the pecuniary, physical, and moral well-being of he people: that as it is diamet-ically opposed to the precept and spirit of the Christian religion: and as this council is composed of men professing Cnristianity, it would be grossly inccusietent for them to manifest any demonstra tion of approbation on the landing at this port of any general officer or other war r i or: an d more especially of one who has been so recently engaged in a most destruc tive war in India, almost a war of extermination, where, in many cases, no quarter was given, and the most bar barous excesses committed." ARRIVAL IN LONDON. The gallant hero of Citiiiianwalah :snivel at the Waterloo terminus of the South-Western Railway at live o'clock yesterday afternoon, having travelled from Southampton by the two p.m. up train. The disestors of the railway, anxious to show every respect to his Lordship, placed a special train at his dieposal, but the Noble Lord p:ef!rred travelling by the ordinary traiu, and hence his arrival as above stet rd. A considerable number of persons had assembled at the station before five o'clock, and when the train drew up alongsiee the platform, and his Lordship tea i discovered seined in one of the carriages with Lilly Gough and his son, Captain the Hon. George Gough, they gave the Gallant General a hearty cheer of wok:0mo, which his Lordahip very courteously adzoowled,; , ed. The gallant Major E.twardes arrived in town by the same train, accompanied by his wife and two children. Lord Gcugh, belire leaving the station, shook bands very heartily with the Major and his wife, and then en tering a carriage which was in aq6ndance, drove off to his son's nsideneo, No. 24, Upper Brook-street, where his Lordship will remain at prer eat. In the suits of Lord Gough were his nephew, Col. John Gough of the 3d DragoonF, Qaattermaster General cf the Q teen's forces in India, Capt. Fraser Tytler, of tee lien ,, al Native Cavalry, Major Bates. Capt. Wallace, and Capt. the Hon. George Gough, of the Grenadier Guards, his Lordship's son, the latter having gone down to Southampton on Saturday to meet his noble parents. Lord Gough is looking remarkably well, and with the xc'ptiun that his hair and whiskers have become quite white, he loeks litde the worse for the thirteen years' hard service he has undergone in the East. Lady Gough is else looking very well. Major Edwardes, by 'his own request, has acted as princival aide-c'e camp to Lord (lough throughout the jeu:ney from the Punjaub. It is a mis take to suepose that the gallant major is the bearer of the celthretnl diamond won by his valour, aged presented by Lord Dalhousie to the Queen. This je,vel is still in India. A BOY ACCIDENTALLY HUNG.—On Saturday last a very singular fatality 00.-urred at Brcightmet, near Boiron, to a 1; tdo boy, about fiurtec n years of age, named David Greenhalgh, the son of a publican there, who by so pc means connived to hang himself in a meadow oc cupied by his father, while trying to disengage a rote from the bough t_f a tree on which some children hal been sainging. At the inquest held on the body by Mr. Iluttar, on Monday, the father of the boy said, as he was passing through the mtalow en Saturday morning, he saw a number of boys Lwingirg on a rope, which had user. thrown across the bough of a large t:e2, and at ono end of which they had made a slip noose, through which was stuck a piece of wood to sit upor. On seeing him approach the children ran away, leaving the rope fast to the tree, when he took out and carried away the piece of wood used as a seat, and desired his son (the deceased) to take down the rope. In a filly minutes efter he re turned past tho tie), and found his son hanging by the neck, and quite dens', the poor lad having, as he sup posed, placed the slip noose round his neck and then jumped up towards the bough to unloose the other end, in doing which he must have fallen and dislocated his neck. When found he was in a stooping position, with his knees half bent, but when rai!el up the rope was quite slack, so that he could nct have hung himself.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cater et, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to bo denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Berries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grimstene, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time hi canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to ba stamped.

Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K C. 8., Captain I'. B. Maxwell, Captain J. I'. Thompson ; Commanders J. A. St. Leger, J. H. Gennys, E. W. Vansittart, H. Blair, C. C Arington Forsyth ; Lieutenants E. E. Maunsell and J. A. Sanford, Royal Navy ; Lieutenant Escha pare, of the Russian Navy ' • Mr. Humphrevs. chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard ; and Mr. Hughes, assistant to the chief engineer at Somerset- house, were on board to witness the trial,with the Messrs. Penn and several scientific gentlemen interested in marine en gines. The vessel left her moorings opposite the dockyard at 9.40 A.M., drawing 13 feet 7 inches fir ward add 13 feet 9 inches aft, having on board, in cluding her coals, anchors, chains, cables, boats, and water-tanks, a weight of 456 tons 6 cwt , exclusive of her machinery, which altogether, including engines, boilers, coal bunkers, and paddle-wheals, neighs 272 tons, 15 cwt. 1 qr. 241 b., making the total on board 729 tons 1 cwt. The Magieienne is 214 feet in length over all, with a breadth of beam of 38 feet 8 inches, and 1,468 tons burden. The cylinders of her engines are six feet in diameter, with a 7-feet stroke, and the top of her boilers is twee feet under the load water-line. The entablature for supporting her main shafts is of wrought iron, and her two fun nels are on the telescopic principle, and can be easily lowered or raised by a simple apparatus. The waste steam-pipes can also be lowered, so as not to be above the height of the bulwarks. The paddle wheels are 28 feet in diameter, and have an appara tus fir disengaging one or both, as may be found re quisite. The coal bunkers are capable of stowing 400 tons, and the greater part of them are constructed over the boilers, but at a distance of about four feet, to prevent any chance of their heating in that posi tion. The vessel was started with the greatest ease, and continued her progress down the river in a very satisfactory manner, commencing in the shallow water with 20 strokes per minute, and ultimately making 21. Oa reaching the new measured mile below Gravesend the time was taken, and she was found to pass over the mile in 5.51 minutes against tide, being at the rate of 10.256 knots per hour. On turning and passing over the mile with the tide she accomplished the distance in 5 6 minutes, being at the rate of 11.765 knots per hour, gi - ving an average speed of 11.010 knots per hour. Tne engines worked during the whole trial without the slightest appearance of a hot bearing or occasion to stop one moment on their account. Toe power exerted by the engines when tried at the mea sured mile with a pressure of 141 b. to the square inch was found to be 1,282-horse power with plenty of steam to spare, and the result of the trial was very satisfactory to all on board. As the greatest anxiety was expressed on shore when it was known that Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier went down the river in the Megicienne to learn the opinion the gal lant Admiral had formed of the vessel, it is no breach (f confidence, as he expressed himself very freely and candidly, to state that he said ho could not speak too the boilers and the 12 furnaces being a ll af t of the of f highly the o her arrangement n e engine-, n e o ? f , a h l e t r h o b u e g i t h e r h s e and di d o n e o l t b a u p n p k r e o r v s e , engines.

The Magicienne returned to Woolwich shortly after two o'clock P.M.
