This admirably conducted, and in every sense legi timate theatre, closed for a short interval of repose on Friday evening. The season has been one of unusual duration, extending over a period exceeding twelve months, and embracing more than three hundred act ing nights. Except on the occasions prescribed by law, there has been no interval. It seldom happens that the members of any dramatic establishment can congratulate themselves on such uninterrupted em ployment. The life of the actor is one of continual toil, and his rest is sweet ; but he enjoys it at the expense of his pocket, which he can seldom afford. The recess suspends salary while it relaxes labour, and the gratification is a little too bitter to be palat able. Some of the features which have marked the season just concluded were insulated and peculiar. They can scarcely be appealed to with safety as general data on which to build calculations for the future. They must be separated and judged distinctly to estimate their proportionate effects. The late unusual excitement may be followed by a temporary re-action, but both will pass away, and before long the current of events will resume its ordinary course. It would be idle to deny that the attraction of the Crystal Palace, and the crowds of visitors, foreign and indigenous, which for the last five months have been daily pouring into Lon don, have not been the primary causes of keeping open the metropolitan theatres during the time when they aro usually closed. Without the extraneous gathering such an experiment would have savoured of insanity. The managers decided with sound policy, and have reaped their full she of the golden harvest, although at first, particurgy during the month of May, unmistakable symptoms indicated that their por tion was likely to 'dwindle into a scanty gleaning. One or two took sudden fright, slackened sail, and gave in, while the majority, who steered gallantly on, despite of impending breakers, have brought their argosies into port, with rich and goodly lading. Some had been so severely crippled before the favouring breeze set in, that they could do little more (to carry on the nautical metaphor) than pall up their lee-way. But the Princess's Theatre had never been in this pre • dicament. A good snug profit was borne on the books before the Exhibition mania commenced, and consequently there was no lee-way to pull up. Dur ing the long period we have named a steady, regular, flowing tide of success had attended the exertions of the authorities, guided by the judgment with which Mr. C. Kean so happily blends the talent of a❑ ac complished actor with the tact tied experience of an able director. sphere of exercise; and there is: still a public who have shown substantially their power and will to foster and reward national enterprise when pointed in the right direction. Modern taste is too highly re fined, and has been pampered to too great an extent to be satisfied either with mediocrity in the actor or parsimony in the manager, but looks for high ex cellence in both, and is ready to pay in adequate pro portion. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING. By the arrival in the Mersey of the British and North American Royal mail steam-ship Africa, A. Ryrie, commander, we have received advices and letters from New York to the Bth inst. The Africa sailed from New York at noon on the Bth inst., and arrived off the Rock Lighthouse at 2.45 this morning, having made the run in 10 days 10 hours mean time. She brought 76 passengers, and 12,277/. sterling, and 437,712 dollars in specie on freight. The Royal mail steam-ship Canada, Harrison, com mander, with the mails of the 20th ult., arrived at Boston at 6 P.M. on the Ist inst. The screw steam-ship City of Manchester, Camp bell, commander, arrived at Philadelphia from Liver pool, on the 3d inst. The Africa passed the Humboldt, Lines, com mander (which sailed from Havre on the 24th ult.), on the Bth inst., three hours' sail from New York, and on the 9th inet., at 5.50 A.M., passed the Royal mail steam-ship Asia, Judkins, commander, which sailed from Liverpool on the 27th ult. The steam-ship Empire City had arrived at New York, from Havannah, with advices to the 2d inst., and 350,000 dolls. in specie on freight. 42 Ameri cans were sent to Spain in the brig Rips the day be• fore the Empire City sailed. There were 13 remain ing in the hospital, being all that remained on the is land of Cuba of the Lopez expedition. Exchange had improved. Freights remained very low. Mo lasses and sugars in limited demand, and lower prices would be accepted to make large sales. We have advices from Jamaica to the 29th ult., which state that the cholera was prevailing in that island ; 11 deaths had occurred during the week ending the 29th. A smart shock of earthquake bad been felt in Port of Spain, but no damage was done. Antigua, St. Vincent, Grenada, and Dominica papers furnish no news of interest. From Canada we have accounts to the 6th inst. The Ministry had resigned, and Lord Elgin had been en deavouring to form a new Cabinet, but had not suc ceeded up to the date of our latest advices. The Go vernor-General, who was staying at Drummonds ville, had sent for Mr. Morin, Speaker of the Legis lative Assembly, to form a Cabinet. In a speech made by Lord Elgin at Montreal, on his way from Boston, he referred to the possibility of his soon being released from the cares of the Governor-Gene reiship of British North America. His reception in the city from which his Government was driven by violence in 1849 is reported to have 'been on the whole respectful ; though accounts. published in the Upper Canada papers this morning state that he was greeted with hisses and groans on coining out of the cathedral en Sunday. Mr. Archibald, an English contractor, has addressed a letter to Lord Elgin, offering to construct the Halifax and Quebec Rail road on condition of receiving the amount formerly offered by these provinces -80,000 dolls. a-year from Nova Scotia, a like sum from New Brunswick, and 120,000 dolls. a year from Canada. He also offers to construct the European and North American line on the debentures offered by New Brunswick, taking the risk of selling the balance of the shares. 34,030 emigrants had arrived at Quebec this season on the 20th instant, being an increcse of 6,464 over last year's emigration to a corresponding date. To the same date 917 vessels had arrived at Quebec, with an aggregate tonnage of 384,256 tons; being an increase of 73 vessels and a tonnage of 31,474 tons over the arrivals of last year to the same date. The steam ship Prometheus, Captain Churchill, arrived at New York on the 4th inst., with advices from California on the 6th ult., three weeks later than last received. She brings intelligence of the burning of the screw steam ship Lafayette, Captain Stoddart, at Ciiagres, on the 11th ult. The Lafayette was a new ship, having only made one voyage between Philadelphia and Liverpool. The Prometheus brought 123,000 dolls. in gold dust. The news from California does not possess much interest. The election seems to have absorbed every thing. Law and order were entirely disregarded; two men convicted of highway robbery had been taken by force from the authorities and executed. The particulars of the affair are as follow: " On the 224 of August, in conformity with the sen tence passed upon them by the law, Thompson, Robin son, and Hamilton were hanged in Sacramento for high way robbery. On the morning of the ex e cution Robinson was reprieved by the Governor M'Dougal, notwithstanding which the populace took the prisoner and executed him. On the Tuesday previous to the above (which took place on Friday) the Governor, with his aids, went in the middle of the night and rescued, without opposition, the two prisoners, Whitta ker and M'Kenzie, who were placed in the custody of the Vigilance Committee. This caused a tremendous excitement, but on account of the forbearance of the committee under the circumstances quiet was restored, and everything was thought to be at rest until Sunday morning, the 24th inst., when a portion of the members of the Vigilance Committee broke into the county gaol, took the prisoners, drove them in a carriage to the committee-rooms, and in 17 minutes from the time the men were first taken from the gaol, they were hanging in front of the committee-rooms on Battery-street, in the presence of 20,000 people, all of whom approved of the act." The accounts from the mines continued to be very satisfactory. One vein in Miraposa, worked by a steam-machine, was realising from 600 dolls. to 1,500 dolls. daily. A company of four men, working a quartz mine at Mount Ophir, were takiag'out on an average 3,000 dolls. a fortnight; and the Canon Creek Milling Company were realising upwards of 5,000 dolls. per day. A very large and destructive fire had occurred at Marysville, California, supposed to be the work of an incendiary, by which upwards of SO build ings had been destroyed. The loss is estimated at up wards of 500,000 dolls. The steam-ship Pacific, Captain Bally, arrived at San Juan del Sud on September 20, with 220 pas sengers, and 100,000 dolls. in gold dust on freight, having left San Francisco on the 6th of September. The steam-ship North America left San Juan del Sad on the 20th ult., with 250 passengers, for San Francisco. The steam-ship Go ld Hunter left San Juan del Sad on the 21st for San Francisco. The steam-ship Monumental City left on the 21st for Reehjo, thence to Panama. The clipper ship Flying Cloud had mar? the run from New York to 'San Francisco in eighty-nine days, the quickest ever accomplished. Intelligence from the city of Mexico to the Ist inst. states that disturbances had broken out in several parts of northern Mexico, and that Government had sent 3,000 men to defend Tehuantepec. Don Fer nando Ramnez had accepted the appointment of Minister of Foreign Affairs, and was charged with the formation of a new Cabinet. THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH. DOVER, SATURDAY.—Yesterday the great cable, for telegraphic communication between this country and the Continent, the progressive stages of which have already been recorded, was at length completed by carrying it up one mile out of the sea to Sangatte, on the Calais coast. Telegraphic communication be tween Calaie and the South Foreland—the latter about three miles from Dover---was practically, and, for the first time through a perfected sea cable, effected be tween coast and coast; and it is therefore hoped that no interruption will arise to continuous and success ful telegraphic intercourse, when arrangements at present pending are completed. The portion of cable that has just been added on the main length is one mile long, and was manufactured during the week at "Wapping, in the same way as the entire cable, and was worked off the wire rope machine in about a day. It left the Thames on Tuesday by the Red Rover steamer; and though only weighing be tween seven and eight tons, it had to be taken to Dover and Sangatte by water, as it could not be conveniently coiled up into the compass of a rail way truck, and sent by the South-Eastern Railway, which would have been the means of forwarding it faster. On arriving at the point on the French coast where the extremity of the cable, a mile out at sea, was anchored to the pilot buoy, the Red Rover was joined by the Fearless, Captain Bullock, R.N., who has remained upon the spot until the operations should be completed. Here the end of the submerged cable was hauled up by the workmen on board the steamer, and the additional mile spliced on to complete it, the "join" being secured by iron clamps screwed over it. The inner cores of copper wires were braized together, and the overlapping strands of gutta percha, bitumized yarn, and galvanized iron wire securely interwoven. As calm a state of high water as possible was selected by Captain Bullock for the purpose, so as to prevent the pitching of the vessel from affecting so nice an operation. The part of the cable where the "join" occurs is thought to be as strong as any part where nothing of the kind occurs ; but is is curious that it should exist at this particular place, where it will have to contend a ga i ns t th e e b ras i on of shingle on the beach and other casualties, and which in the experiment of last year sawed asunder the gutta percha cable on the rocks round Cape Girsnez. The communication is now perfect between coast and coast, though it suited parties and purposes to say it was so before. Captain Bullock, who co-operated throughout with his valuable nautical knowledge, left Calais to-day with the Fear less for Portsmouth ; and it is only fair to mention that the unskilful manner in which the cable was paid out, and which resulted in its short coming, is gene rally attributed here to the engineers and not to those who piloted the expedition, and who state that one of the chief causes of the cable running short arose from the fact that while the Mazer was being towed out by the Fearless at only two miles an hour, the cable at certain intervals was run out at the rate of four and five miles an hour, which necessarily caused it, from want of regularity in the delivery motion, to take the sea-bottom in a series of loops or "kinks," thus ac counting for each mile of cable not covering its allotted mile of sea. The affair since it happened has been the general subject of conversation here, particularly among the sea worthies, who ask how it was " the landlubbers did not take out enough yarn," and that in this case the " miss was good as a mile." It is now regretted that Mr. Cubitt, the company's head engineer, and who is well known for marine engineer ing, was not present with the expedition. It is not yet known at what precise date the wires to connect the cable at the South Foreland with the telegraph-office of the South-Eastern Company here will be completed, but this would be only the work of a day or so, as during the past week the connecting wires for the purpose have been manufactured. They consist of the usual copper wires enclosed in gutta percha, the latter to protect it, being covered with spun yarn, it being known that gutta percha, on ex posure, expands with heat and contracts with cold. The wires, forming about a two-inch chord in diame ter, will have to be run for about three miles along the coast intervening between Dover and the South Foreland. Some negotiations have been going on be tween the promoters of the Submarine Telegraph Company and the South-Eastern Railway Company, with the view of establishing some working arrange ment, but nothing conclusive has been come to, wires,ot h f o a u t gl l l sl i i ma t r i i rl s aa nr understood gteom etnhtefo working that ovr,k something oirnkgi ngo fov railwayser in h eacth over vone other's oe u rn r ,s e e another's lines, will be arrived at. On the other hand, it is said that messages of twenty words may be sent from here to Paris, by arrangment with the Great Northern of France and other rail ways, for 155., being about ss. more than is now charged for a similar message between London and Liverpool or London and Dover; so that probably, although nothing is yet known as to the tariff, the expense of an imponderable dispatch of this kind between London and Paris will come to 20s. Should no arrangement be made with the South- Eastern Railway, the promoters have power under their charter to run wires between London:and Dover along the high road. Considerable difficulty is of necessity experienced in the adjustment of any tariff in connexion with an enterprise so novel, nor is the matter found to be susceptible of such careful esti mate, as in the carrying out and construction of a railway. For these reasons it has been found diffi cult to state with certainty the amount of revenue to be derived from the undertaking, to enable it to pay as a commercial speculation. It has been calculated that the submarine telegraph will be capable of print ing 100 messages of fifteen words each in 100 conse cutive minutes, and that if the whole of the commu nications between Europe, Great Britain, India, and America, might be supposed to 'employ eight wires twelve hours a day, it would give a return of 96,0001. per annum, at a tariff of only one shilling per message of fifteen words. It is calculated, however, that when the four or more cables are completed and in full operation the probable return will be 25,0001. per annum, after allowing for working expenses and maintenance of telegraph and works. The cost of the present cable has amounted to about 16,0001., or with contingencies to about 20,000/. The proba bility is that the remaining cables intended to be laid down will cost 20,0001. each, which will render a costlier scale of tariff necessary. The sources of re venue calculated upon are the Government dispatches of the different countries, the newspapers (English and foreign), the public funds, the Paris Bourse and London Stock Exchange, bankers, merchants, Lloyd's correspondents, markets, India mails, and general messages. A theatre may be taken as a kingdom in epitome, which requires a clear, quick, executive head, to keep in order and harmony a host of conflicting elements. The public see only the effect, end not being behind the scenes or initiated into any knowledge of the in tricate machinery, have no idea o the incessant labour both of mind and body through which the effect they see is produced. All appears so simple and easy that they cannot imagine where there can be any difficuly. We are not among the self-glorifying critics who write ourselves down as infallible, and fancy, exoSicio, that we understand every man's trade by inspiration better than he does himself ty long practice. As most people think they can poke a flee more cleverly than their neighbours, so is it a common delusion ' among many that they can manage a theatre better than the manager. According to these philanthropic meddlers nothing can be more transparent than his business if ho would only nederstand it, or take advice. But he is obstinately wedded to his in capacity, and resolved to be he own executioner. If some of these liberal counselers would try conclu sions by actual' experiment, a month, perhaps, might alter their opinions, and they would be glad to com pound for an exchange from the manager's chair of uneasy dignity to the bed of Frocruetes, or the gentle pastime of the tread-mill. We are not of Mr. Kean's cabinet council, and of course cannot pretend to speak from an official scrutiny of figures, but we have heard on good authority, and congrutulate him accordingly, that the result of his first yet of management has far exceeded his most sanguine expectations. To wind up a long season with a good substantial balance of several thousands on the right side, is to accomplish a feat as difficult as untying the - Gordian knot, and almost of as rare occurrence as the blossoming of the aloe. Let all due honour then be accorded to the skill and perseverance which _have realised this pro digy, and to the general commanding, who has car ried through a hazardous cempaign with such con summate ability. For a long time it has been proclaimed at every market cross, with bell, boot, and candle, that the national stage of Great Britain is in a rapid decline, that its days are numbered, and that it is stricken with a mortal disease which (fies cure. For months and years we have been told Gaily in emphatic phrase, and have read in most undeniable print, that the legi timate drama is dying, dead, some even say, buried, with a tomb to its memory, End utterly forgotten by all except a few weeping motrners who fondly await its resurrection ; as the monks and other old ladies in Portugal believe still in the return of Don Sebastian, and the Brahmins in India expect hourly the avatar of Vishnoo. According to th ese li g h t -h ear t e d, en couraging theorists, we have neither actors to act, nor a public to appreciate genuine acting, if the opportunity was vouchsafed t o th em . B u t in the face of all this, night after night we have gone to the Princess's Theatre, where we have witnessed some of the brightest creations of Shakspere's genius, Hamlet, Henry the Fourth, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, As You Like 11, performed in constant repetition, to the evident delight of crowded and fastidious audiences. Henry the Fourth, as then revived, had a longer ran, and produced more remunerative receipts than had ever attended that play during the time which is u s u a ll y re f erre d to with groans of lamentati o n as th e most fl our i s hi ng epoch of the British s t age . Twelfth Night has been acted forty-one night s , w ith a cast i n wh i c h t h ere was no blemish, including i n th e f oremos t ran k th e Viola of Mrs. C. Kean, the Sir Andr e w A guee h ee k o f Keeley, and the Clown of Harley, which have never been surpassed. The Wife's Secret continues to be re ceived with undiminished popularity; The Gamester, and the old comedy of Town and Country, have been revived with admirable effect, while the gorgeous spectacular play of The Templar, and the English version of Mdlle. de Belle I s l e , Th e D u k e ' s Wager, with Bourcicault's sparkling comedy of Love in a Maze, may ha enumerated among novelties of un usual success, in an age when, to meet the characte ristic impatience, novelties are required to succeed each other as rapidly as the shifting forms of the sum mer clouds. The Christmas pantomime proved, as usual, a sheet-anchor; and the Easter spectacle of the Alhambra, with the little interlude of Apartments to Let, supported by the inimitable acting of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, have occupied their places iu the bills for more than six months. While reverting to the varied list of performances at this theatre, we cannot forget the breathless atten tion with which the audience was rivetted down to the harrowing incidents of P au line — t h e intense ene rgy and truthfulness with which and hichMrs. e I pioerewanino vested the character of the heroine,f o riginal conception display ed b y Mr. Ke an in the part of Horace de Beaupr6—a delineation which spect a t o rs to lose their disgust a t har dened villany in astonishment atthe power of the compelled the ac t o r, working as a magicia ns s p ell, a nd be aring be fore it all the rules of or dinar y reasonin g .

But facts are stubborn evidences, and neverfail.in the long run to vindicate themselves when weighed against flimsy theories. We believe the palpable evidence of our senses in preference to vague assertions. We aro sa tisfied that the drama is neither dead, nor dying, nor in danger of dissolution. If there is disease it is tempo rary, and the consequences, though debilitating, are not fatal. The obscurity of a passing eclipse renders the brightness that follows the more conspicuous. Good actors are to be found, although not under every hedge, as Stephen Kenible informed Liston when he offended him. There aro managers who know how to distin guisli talents and place them in their appropriate 1 COTIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The state of monetary affairs during the 2d, 3d, and 4th inst., at New York and Boston, may be described as one of panic, which, however, had greatly subsided at the date of the steamer leavin , r. There was a great and unnecessary run on the Was, which, however, stood firm. The extension of the telegraphic wire to Marseilles is now looked upon in Prance as an indispensable adjunct to the completion of the submarine telegraph, since the ramification of the wires between Paris and that port would place the capitals of both countries in instantaneous communication with the Mediterra nean. The cost of doing this, by completing the link between Chalons and Avignon, is estimated at under 3.0001. On the other hand, the telegraphic commu ideation is now completed from Ostend to Trieste, giving a through stretch of telegraphic communica tion little short of 2,000 miles. Telegraphic extension is also progressing throughout the east of Europe. Three great routes are now being laid down through the interior of Hungary; and the Turkish Govern ment have come to the determination of laying down the telegraph in Turkey, and it already reaches Brussels, Cologne, Berlin, Vienna, and the Adriatic. It is a somewhat curious coincidence that, although the establishment of a submarine or continental tele graph originates with British enterprise, England will be the last stage in the transmission, and the last recipient of all its European intelligence, although, from the instantaneousness of the method of commu nication, the intelligence, whatever the boundaries, may be said to be übiquitous. It is not to be ex pected, however complete the international arrange.. meats for the purpose may be, that ania ilut cities fluid ctiiesse dfi e rt s hs t tr a ,o f u e a t igl t dh e will find its way without a break from Prance, d gußel gium, Prussia, Austria, or Russia, since un avo id a bl y, owing to the intervention of agenacyd in nnit remains dvriletawm to n of 3g the e' communications ultimately intended for thi s country be w presenti the finallyl seen l be remoter v h fi( s' olnyt s rt w te 1 t eea h mdt s undeniable rorh o ventilated, of continental through oi t' towns raneep andeai, ; a supervision,n nhitherto unconsidered trying, through or telegraph, some t h disadvantage instrumentality Arrangements e o o w ork for fneo being submarine made England. remarkably curious astronomical xperi ts, " and it n i i n s al I considered parts o ft the et faContinentcilitis Com pany, with a view to the promotion of the object, have consented to carry a wire means necte of withit. sery ati v o ed con nect h it toNv itthhetohbosseurvbanitoarryinaet wires r South-Eastern wires froin Railwaytheir tele crease the l taneous observations he made between the Astronomer ,nswvilciihn,hsovvialst also o l zor e by ynsimul h observatory f willo r a a bt siderealrg Paris, re, aeaoynnb d Some failures aro recorded; amongst others, Dexter, Harrington, and Co.; P.

This gallant officer, it will be re membered, was promoted for his excellent service in the command of the Fair Rosamond, in the West Indies, and has recently come home invalided from the same station from the command of the Persian, 12. Lieutenant John A. Sanford died at Haslar on Wednesday last, at the early age of 26 years. He was son of one of the Members for Somerset. He was Second Lieutenant of the Dauntless screw-fri gate ; was one of the most promising young officers in the service, and was beloved ; his decease will be sincerely deplored by every one of his messmates and acquaintances. Paymaster Shugar (1795), died at Portsea last week, aged 76. Commander-in-Chief Vice. Admiral Sir G. F.

The royal yacht tender, the Fairy, Master-Com mander Welsh, arrived yesterday morning at Ports mouth, and went into harbour. The Victoria and Al bert royal yacht will now go up to her moorings, and be laid up for the winter. Frolic, 16, Commander Vansittart, has gone along side Portsmouth Dockyard, and will be paid off on Thursday. She has been a most happy ship during the whole term of her commission, and has come home in excellent order. Hecate, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Hand, has been ordered to be detached from Commodore Mar tin's command at Lisbon, and to return at once to Spithead. Hercules, 74, store-ship, went out of Portsmouth harbour and anchored at Shithead on Saturday afternoon. She has on board a quantity of stores for Malta. She is manned by the Bellerophon, but will probably proceed to Malta before that ship. Modeste, 14, Commander Lord W. Compton, left Devonport for Leghorn on Friday. WRECK or A FRENCH CORVETTE.—lntelligence has reached us, by the overland mail, of the wreck of a fine frigate of war belonging to the French Republic, called the Alcmene, mounting 3G guns, commanded by M. Le Compte d'Harcourt, on the west coast of Sidney, New South Wales. Towards the latter end of June she proceeded on a voyage from Hobart Town, and on the 3d of July, when between Kiapara Head and llockianga Heads she was driven ashore on a formidable ridge of sand. All exertions proved fruitless in getting her off. Nearly the whole of the crew succeeded in reaching the coast, but unappily all were not preserved, between 12 and 15 poor fel lows having perished in trying to reach the beach. Several of the officers and men, after obtaining aid, pushed their way on to Auckland, and having in formed the governor of the lamentable event, his Ex cellency instantly adopted the most prompt measures to afford them assistance. The lost of the frigate will reach to upwards of 30,0001. • PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Rattler screw-sloop, Commander Mellersh, received orders on Friday night to proceed to sea yesterday, and Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, the Lieutenant-Governor of this gar rison, Lady and Miss Fitzclarence, and suite, em barked this morning for passage to Madeira. The Governor was most cordially greeted on his embarka tion at the Victoria-pier, whereon was congregated a large assemblage of the military and the townspeople, although the weather was very unfavourable for the exhibition of any " demonstration." Prior to his leaving, the town-council of this borough voted him (Lord Fitzclarence) an address, expressive of their gratitude for the many benefits he had endeavoured to confer upon the town by improving the suburbs, and regret at the cause of his premature removal from the military presidency of the district. By letters from China, to hand yesterday, we are informed of the holding, and of the result of, the Court for the trial of Commander Peter Cracroft and the officers and crew of her Majesty's screw-sloop Rey nard, lost or, the Batas Shoal, in the China Seas, on the 31st of May last. The court-martial assembled at Penang on the 3d ult., on board the Fox, 42, Commodore Lambert, and consisted of the Commodore as president, and Captains Austen, of the Hastings, and Barker, of the Amazon; Commanders Shadwell, of the Sphynx, and Tarleton, o f th e F ox . Th e C ourt h av i ng heard all the evidence in support of the case, and what the prisoners hed to allege in their defence, found that Commander Cracroft and Mr. M'Ausland, the master of her Majesty's ship Reynard, had committed an error in judgment in approaching the shoal at all on the south side, and that the evidence showed that no soundings had been tried for (it was also shown in evidence there were " no soundings" thereabout) nor leads kept going ; and that, nevertheless, the conduct of Commander Cracroft and the officers had been most exemplary and praiseworthy since the vessel was lost, and that they bad done all in their power to save her, and had not abandoned her until all further at tempts were useless ; therefore, in consideration thereof, the Court only adjudged Commander Cra croft and Mr. M'Ausland to be admonished to be more careful in future. The other officers and ship's company were, of course, fully acquitted. Every officer in the squadron, without exception, regrets that Commander Cracroft was not " fully acquitted," for a more skilful navigator and better officer, not withstanding this unfbrtunate casualty, does not exist in the service. In returning him his sword on the rising of the Court the President delivered it with a very handsome acknowledgment of Commander Cm croft's high merit and professional character, which we sincerely trust will weigh favourably in the minds of the Lords of the Admiralty. Commander Cracroft caught the mail just after the close of the Court, and arrived at Malta in the I n d us. He may therefore be expected in England daily. The Hastings, 72, Rea r -Ad m i ra l Austen • the Fox 42, Commodore Lambert; the A mazon, 26' Captain' Barker ; Serpe n t, 12 , C ommander Luard ; Sphynx steam-sloop, C ommander Shadwell, were all at Pe nang on th e 4th u l t.
