As, oss 7 d ee ,: 'oe potato, when once affected, quickly runs into total t; "tnPosition, if left to itself it is evident that its cons.ump ra°pnidTereiV for the purpose ' of food cannot be sufficiently vos_. , and it therefore becomes necessary to consider to hat uses it may be applied. food,llte extraction of starch from potatoes, and its use con"- flistinuaving strongly attracted public attention,._ and been tate ,g! and, in many cases inaccurate opinions having . poprtained on this subject, we consider it of paramount irah aet,`,4l,lce at once to direct your Excellency's attention t? t e te . 1 , state of knowledge regarding this material. is re buffinc:sed that the potato, in relation either to its weight or it s ,is one of the most inferior articles of food. In ?!I°l.'inar.r state of sound constitution, every hundred 1 1 ,, ids weight of potatoes contain, on an average, °f starch, of water ; of skin and fibrous matter, 81b.; and 't;ju_rter:sitisarch, 161 b. ; whilst of gluten, the most nutri ts°llB of vegetable matters, and which predominates in corn,. tniitinore than 21b. in the above quantity. It is quite Ctrtaia a starch, or materials corresponding to it, exist . to a for therluunt in every variety of useful food; but it is eyvaelsly certain that in food starch is not the material which support of the animal frame ; and an animal fed ss merelys t en starch dies of starvation nearly, if not quite as soon, as , totally deprived itself; and of food. Hence, starch extracted from thetto cannot be viewed as a substitute for the potato we consider it ofgreat importance, that whilst the attention of the peope is . directed to the real value of starch, and th pli e d, e n to rest ses to which it may be advan t, t h a e g i e r o h u o sl p s e r s ap o - f „_ they should not be allowed noulashMent during the succeeding season upon any store of It alone. e “ With this preliminary caution, we have to state to your xcellency,ta tha t probably the best use to which diseased may be lied is the extraction of starch. In a ee ,, Mnier s ci 1 point a o p f p view, the starch represents a considerable vetriln,Po.rtiona of the value of the . potato, although it is not pre sts;` in as large a quantity in the unsound tubers . as . in those s s Ze,l , are free from disease. The extraction is simple, and eria-",s,ts in . processes which we need not here describe, as they a... given in the current publications of the day, and indeed --. al k ir re 'Vly_ practised in most par: s of the country. tai nt ' ° lir Excellency is aware that we are directing our at eiiislon to the manner in which starch can he advantageously Isll ls 4 ° Ye.d• It can be worked off, and with utility, as food, rne e - i• 'nixed with proportions of oatmeal, beanmeal, or peas ki a nd such intermixture forms an excellent and econo l'uleAeaftia, in of food.

Government, in the meantime, are taking further active steps to mitigate the impendint calamity. The Cork Reporter of yesterday (Thursday) contains the follow mg imp :rtant announcement:— "Orders were this day received at the Cork Custom-house directing returns to be forwarded to the Castle, Dublin, set ting forth the quantity of potatoes shipped from this and all the outports of the district since the Ist of September last; and also directing that returns should be made every Satur day of the quantities exported during the week—distinguish ing, in all cases those shipped to England, coastways, and to other places. This looks as if some step to prevent the exportation of the people's food was in contemplation." An influential meeting was held in Cavan on Wednes day last, at which Lord Farnham presided, for the pur pose of devising means for preserving the crop from further injury; and also with a view of explaining to the peasantry the means whereby diseased potatoes can, by admixture with other substances, be converted into wholesome and nutritious food. One of the speakers, Dr. Charles Halpin, strongly objected to some of the recommendations put forth in the first report of the Go vernment Commissicners, which, he contended, embodied several glaring errors, such, for instance, as advising the potatoes, if planted in a dry soil, and the weather fine, to be left in the ground for the present; and again, that should the weather be bad and the soil wet, they should be dug out immediately, the consequence of which he asserted would be to convert them into a rotten heap in less than a week. The meeting having been subse quently addressed by the Right Rev. Dr. Browne, Ro man Catholic Bishop of Kilmore, and several other gen tlemen, it was ultimately resolved that an adjournment to that day three weeks should take place, in order to afford time for testing the various experiments that had been submitted in the course of the proceedings.

DEPUTATION TO THE CASTLE. UNITARIANS v. SLAVERY. (From the 14Tew York Journal of commerce.) One hundred and seventy Unitarian ministers, residing chiefly in New England, have issued a protest against the system of slavery practised in the southern portion of this country,— Because it is a violation of the law of Right, being the sum of all unrighteousness which man can do to man, depriv ing him not only of his possessions but of himself. And, as in the possession of one's self are .included all other posses sions, and in the right of one's self are included all other rights, he who makes a man a slave commits the greatest possible robbery and the greatest possible wrong. Because it violates the law of Love, which says, "What soever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them." Becatise it degrades man, the image of God, into it thing changes persons into property; and, by violating the dignity of the human soul, is a constant sacrilege against that soul which the Scriptures declare to be the "Temple of the Holy Because it necessarily terda to pollute the soul of the slave —producing all Vices and fostering habits of indolence sea , suality, aliiehood, treachery, theft, moral stupor and pet, petual childhood—by taking away Hope, which God has ap pointed as the lightener i4f toil; the Spur to exertion, and the teed Of peogress, and by destroying the Sense Of reeporisibility, which is the bond that cOrineets the soul with God.

The Zollverein, with a population of 29,066,000 souls, con sumes annually 70,000 tons of cane, and 10,500 of beetroot sugar. Belgium, Holland, Oldenburg, Hamburgh, Bremen, Lubeck, Hanover, and Mecklenburgh, with a gross total population of 10,349,000, consume altogether 51,000 tons of cane, and 5,000 of beetroot sugar. Russia, with a popula tion of 56,778,000, consumes 62,400 tons of cane, and 6,000 tons of beetroot sugar. France, with a population of 35,400,000, consumes 89,000 tons of French colonial sugar, 11,000 tons of foreign colonial sugar, and 28,000 tons of beet root sugar. Portugal, with a population of 3,412,000, con sumes 10,000 tons of sugar,. Spain, with a population of 13,786,000, consumes 36,000 tons (36,100 tons of Cuba sugar in 1844).

There was a depth of water of about 65 feet at that part of the river In which the Blundell lay. The explosion took place at twelve o'clock, by galvanic batteries, under the direction of Captain Crawley, of the Royal Engineers, and Mr. Arthur, manager of the Steam-tug Company. Several merchants and ship owners were present on the occasion; amongst others, Sir T. Braneker, Mr. Cotesworth, Mr. H. P. Chapman, Mr. Alder man Nicol, and Lieutenant Lord. It will be remembered that the Blundell, which bad sailed for Trinidad, was put ting back in a disabled state, when she came In contact with the Feronia, from Quebec, which was at anchor. Shortly after the disaster the Steam -tug Company endeavoured to raise ' the wreck, and succeeded in removing her from her original position to ono which world be attended with less danger to the navigation of the river. The Tug Company being unsuccessful in their endeavours to remove her entirely lig means of their own apparatus, the conser vators of the river sent lighters and machinery of greater capacity; but the second and subsequent efforts made to remove her were equally unsuccessful. Under these circumstances the conservators applied to the Steam -tug Company to des tro y her with gunpowder, and the , result has flilly answered the expectations of all parties. The 1 appearances after the explosion, which caused a singular commotion in the water to a considerable distance, left no doubt in the minds of practical =that Marna 144 beta deatrayed.-- Idiarmi oirtikit. _ .

The Directors of the Chamber of Commerce of this town forwarded, on the 22d ultimo, a memorial, of which the fol lowing is a copy, to Sir Robert Peel, as First Lord of the Treasury. We subjoin also the Right Hon. Baronet's reply : " TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., M.P., FIRST LORD OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY, &C. &C. " The memorial of the Directors of the Chamber of Com- merce and Manufactures, at Manchester, . , " Sheweth—That long experience has taught your me morialists that the prosperity of the cotton trade mainly de pends upon the price of food, that an abundant and cheap supply of the first necessaries of life has never failed to be coincident with increased employment and a higher rate of wages, whilst dearness and scarcity of provisions have as in variably been attended with a diminished demand for labour, and a reduction of the earnings of the working classes. " That the cost of wheaten flour and oatmeal has risen 50 per cent. within a few months, and the price of potatoes is kept down only by the eagerness with which the growers force them upon the market, on account of their inferior quality, and from a fear that they will decay; but this in creases the danger of future deficiency ; whilst the reported failure of the crop in many parts of Ireland adds a fearful gloom , over the prospects of that portion of the empire, in whose fate this country is indissoluby involved. From these facts your memorialists fear that a period of scarcity and pt ivation is impending, which may endanger the well being of this district, and subject the surrounding population to a rep etition of those sufferings from which they have so recently emerged. "'that, under these circumstances, your memorialists beg leave respectfully to urge upon your attention the necessity of devising some means for securing a sufficient supply of food for the people. In the opinion of your memorialists, often expressed to the Government and the Legislature, that object would have been best secured by removing at a former period all restrictions upon the trade in corn, believing that the enterprise and capital of our merchants, which have ac cumulated in our warehouses a stock of cotton equal to eight months' consumption, would have made a similar provision against a casual deficiency of food, had corn, like cotton, been left to the unimpeded operations of commerce. But so long as a law is maintained to prevent the regular exchange of our manufactures for foreign grain—virtually deterring other nations from providing for our wants, and prohibiting our capitalists from storing up a supply for future emergencies —so Tong as such a law is enforced, the Government invests itself with the responsibility of securing a sufficient supply of food at all times for the people. " Your memorialists call your attention to the difficulties which present themselves at the present moment arising from the scarcity of food in Holland and Belgium, in parts of Germany, and even in portions of Russia. Those countries, which in former periods of scarcity ministered to our wants, are now competing for the scanty stocks in more distant markets. But their Governments having wisely and humanely offered facilities for the importation of food, which are denied in this country, their merchants are forestalling us in the grain markets everywhere, not excepting our own shores. "That, under these circumstances, your memorialists are a opinion that it becomes the duty of Government to open the ports for the free admission of food of all kinds. The success even of this decisive remedy depends mainly upon t be promptitude with which it is applied, and, therefore, your re temorialists urge the imperative necessity of adopting it w ithout delay, by means of an Order in Council, and they fet assured that such an act, dictated alike by prudence, justice, and humanity, would have the sanction of Parliament and the enthusiastic approval of the nation." " Whitehall, Oct. 27, 1845. "Sir—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the memo rial of the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and Manut 'actures at Manchester, which bears date the 22d of Octobe T. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " Thos. Bazley, Esq." " ROBERT PEEL _Manchester guardian. HUMAN FOOD. The a. *rid has seldom exhibited a more strange and startling contrast than that which now presents itself be tween the intemperate pursuit of artificial wealth and the stern in curable deficiency of the most essential products of nature. If any one should come amongst us unprepared by the ren own of this great country for the astonishing spec tacle or human activity which it presents, he would ask with a sort of wondering fear for the meaning and the purpose of this luatinite perturbation, this ceaseless running to and fro, thi s intricate and restless mechanism of fortune. He would see ffet, iambs holders of fictitious property made and unmade in an hour by the fluctuation of fictitious prices; and by the side of this imaginary opulence, inflated by the premature excesses of unreal luxury, he might watch the steady ap prom th of want in its worst form, imposing on every man who breat bes the breath of life duties of self-denial and public sympathy. At the very instant when the imagination of the cc unmunity is rapt in a sort of frenzy by the disco verers of some new mode of creating inexhaustible wealth, we are reminded that these great magicians of the age are powerless against the cankerworm or the palmerworm, which a re emphatically called God's army for the chastisement of mankind ; and whilst they are proclaiming their recent vic tory over space and time, a blast of wind or a grub may de ny subsistence to the world. Though we can pierce rocks and pile embankments with a power and an art which will leave imperishable traces on the globe, we cannot anticipate by an hour the harvest of next year, we cannot augment the actual supply of the primary articles of food. Be it more or be it lass, the population of the globe has its annual ration. The present prosperous condition of the country, the de mand f, it labour, the high rate of wages, and the general fever of activity which pervades every class of the commu nity, are circumstances which tend to augment rather than to diminish the danger of ticarcity ; for they manifestly in crease the' amount of present consumption, they . encourage habits of indulgence, they drive off the day of privation and self-denial. The time when a nation may have most need to husband its resources may also happen, from causes quite independent of the scarcity of food, to be that at which it is most laviiih of them. It has yet to learn the mockery of wealth wlLiel cannot purchase sustenance fer the population of the world.. At the present time of year, in the months immediately succeeding harvest-time, these forebodings may seem unne cessarily dark for, except by a slight augmentation of price, no real pressurtl is felt in the provision market. But we hope the country will learn in time that these cautions and this augmentation of' price are the checks which can alone mode rate the evil hereafter. We are under no anxiety for the supply of food in the seconder third month of the year, but our anxiety and our foresight ought already to embrace the probable condition. of Europe in the eleventh and twelfth tgnvgiven months. wceoff tunh l ts f cov it f o b tr e h •oeirnfe all la s ay y ea re,y) t o u nsu quantityt r p i p o e s r o t f t E h o f e u rplioppir upon i l s a h t m i o n e n f eightiatnoiysr evident that the more equally the privation is distributed over the whole yr , ar, the less severely will it be felt at the end of it. The ob ivious course is, therefore, to endeavour at once to devise th a best modes of economising the supply of food we possess, n lore especially by the introduction of bread stuffs which maybe usefully and safely combined with the best kinds of gran n and flour. For example, the farina of the potato may be pas spared with complete success even from the diseased tuberch:s of the potato plant; and Indian corn, which even now may be imported at a very low duty, is cer tainly the best. , substitute for wheaten flour, especially when mixed with it !in proper proportions. In ordinary years it may be assumed as a general truth that there is r.n. excess of food produced on the.globe. With the exception of wine, there is no article of very extensive consumption fir the purposes of sustenance of which the annual store exceeds the demand; and, with reference to the principal object of vegetable diet, a very slight deficiency is immediately felt, because it must be supplied, as far as pos sible, out of the current year. The failure of the potato crop in most of the northern provinces of the continent, and more recently in rso many parts of the United Kingdom, is, how ever, no slight deficiency. The potato is the lowest and cheapest article of human food; and the difficulty of provid ing food by some means or another for the populations thus • deprived of their habitual subsistence, is increased by the cir ctimataTrte that she egbatituted (cod must be, for the mot part, ~. N of a higher and more costly description than that which it re• places. But in the great corn-growing countries the scarcity seems already to be felt with equal, if not greater, intensity. In Lithuania, in the Ukraine, and in the Baltic provinces, bands of famishing peasants are said to scour the country and force the barns in which their landlords are seeking to preserve the supply ofthe coming year; and the Russian Go vernment is accused, upon authority which we cannot discredit, of the most inconceivable hardness and indifference to the fate of this wretched population. But under any circum stances it is inevitable that the poorest countries must suffer most from such a trial. Their primitive agriculture is less able to resist the inclemency of a bad season, The want of means of transport prevents the distribution of food. All supplies from foreign markets are shut out; and even their own growth is drawn to better markets abroad. Their habi tual and entire reliance on their own produce for their total subsistence is now their total ruin. The habitual abste miousness which their poverty imposes on them is their only advantage. In all these respects our position is incom parably superior to that of any other country; [and, though the evil may exist here as well as abroad, we are far better provided with the means of palliating it. In spite, or rather in consequence, of the inferiority of climate, the agriculture of England and Scotland leaves less to the accidents of weather than that of regions 'more favoured by the sun, and in point of fact, we believe it will be found that we have suffered less by this season than any other people of Europe. Then we have the greatest imaginable facilities of transport, and of exchange. Already orders for food have been sent within the last few weeks to every part of the globe; and we have no doubt, assuming that the laws regu lating the importation of grain have been meanwhile adapted to the wants of the people, that the supply at the present prices will be abundant. The Irish peasant starves because his whole subsistence depends on the produce of his own patch of ground, and that failing he has nothing to offer in exchange for the necessaries of life elsewhere. The price of these articles is, so to speak, indifferent to him who has nothing. He lives upon what he possesses or he remains destitute. The condition of many of the corn-growing States of Europe, as, for instance, the western provinces of Russia and Poland, is precisely the same as that of the Irish peasant. In losing their crops, or even that portion of their crops which is destined to support their own labouring population, they lose at once their food and their wealth, and the result to them is not only scarcity but famine. In England, on the contrary, the laws of commerce operating fairly on our rela tions with the various producing countries of ; the globe, will preserve us from this horrible affliction. " Never since I have known England," said Mr. Burke after the bad harvest of 1795, " have I known more than a comparative scarcity ;" but, added that great writer with a solemnity not inappro priate either to that or to the present occasion— " We, the people, ought to be made sensible that it is not in breaking the laws of commerce, which are the laws of nature, and consequently the laws of God, that we are to place our hope of softening the Divine displeasure to remove any calamity under which we suffer or which hangs over us." Such a calamity calls for public wisdom and public virtue; but before the country can be prepared for the efforts it may be called upon to make—and which it will make nobly when ever they are required of it—we must be rid of the tricks of gamblers and the dreams of dupes, and the fabric of insane speculation must collapse and shrivel into the nothing from which it rose.—Times. xvgaialadfip THE CORN TRADE. LIVERPOOL, Nov. I.—The' demand for British grain, meal, and flour, during this week has been of a very limited character, the millers and dealers having previously stocked themselves to a good extent. Prices generally have receded. We observe a decline since Tuesday last of 2d. per bushel fer old, and 3d. on Irish new wheat, on flour Is. per sack and 6d. per barrel, on oats and oatmeal fully 2d. per bushel and is. per load. The present value of best Irish new red wheat is Be. ld. to Bs. 2d. per 701 b. Mealing oats 4s. per 451 b. Beans and peas maintain the late advance in value, but the sales have been quiet in retail. There has been an active inquiry for wheat and flour in bond, and several transactions have occurred at improving prices. At yesterday's market the sales of recently imported United States flour were at 325., 325. 6d., and 335. per barrel. HULL, TUESDAT:We have bad a week of very dry weather, and the trade for wheat has ruled dull in conse quence. We have had a very strong demand for oats, in bond, for shipment coastwise, and we note an advance of fully 2s. per quarter. The stock here is very small. There has been a fair inquiry for barley, at rather higher rates, but the quantity in the port is limited. Linseed and rapeseed have both been in fair request, and the price of both articles is rather better. In other sorts of spring corn not much doing. At this day's market the supply from the farmers of new wheat was only moderate, the condition being not much im proved. Buyers were unwilling to give the prices asked, and we quote both old and new ls. per quarter lower. No barley offering. Rather more oats offering, and fully 2s. per quarter dearer. Beans and peas in fair request, and beans must be noted full ls. higher. Linseed and rapeseed main tain their value. Linseed cakes in fair demand, at last week's rates. Rape cakes not much sought for. In bones but little business passing, but rather dearer. Guano in a better demand. WAKEFIELD, FRIDAY.—The general opinion that an Order in Council for the liberation of the foreign grain in bond at a nominal duty is about to be made, has checked the trade here to-day, and so limited a business has been done that it is difficult to quote prices. Where sales have been made, a redaction in the price of each article has been submitted to. COURT CIRCULAR. WiIsZDSON SUNDAY.--Yesterday the Queen and Prince Albert took an early promenade in the grounds adjacent to the Castle. In the a ft ernoon her Majesty and his Royal Highness rode out in a pony phaeton, the Prince driving, followed in a landau and four by the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, Lady in Waiting, and the Hon. Miss Dawson. Maid of Honour in Waiting. Lord Charles Wellesley Clerk Marshal, and Lieutenant-Col. Wylde, Equerry in 'Waiting on the Prince, attended on horseback. The Royal Family were all taken their usual airings yesterday. The Earl of Lincoln and Captain Vyner arrived at the Castle yesterday, on a visit to the Queen. Lord Charles Wellesley, Clerk Marshal, arrived at the Castle yesterday, and has relieved Colonel the Hon. Charles Grey in the duties of Equerry in Waiting to the Queen ; and Lieut.-Colonel Wylde has relieved Colonel Bouverie in the duties of Equerry in waiting to Prince Albert. The royal dinner party yesterday included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, Baroness do Speth, and Mr. George Edward and the Hon. Mrs. Anson. f The band of the 2d Life Guards attended during dinner. Her Majesty's private band afterwards attended, and per . formed the remainder of the evening. This morning the Queen and Prince Albert took their accustomed early walk before church. The royal children were all taken for their riding and walking exercise. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Kent, the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court, with the domestic household, attended Divine service this morning in the pri vate chapel of the Castle. The Hon. and Rev. Charles Leslie Courtenay officiated. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Anna Maria Dawson, walked from Frogmore House and back to attend the morning service in the private chapel of the Castle. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday afternoon at the residence of Sir Robert Peel, in Whitehall-gardens. The Ministers present were Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Wharncliffe, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl of Haddington, the Earl of Lincoln, and the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert. The Council sat four hours and a half. After attending the Council the Earl of Lincoln left town for Windsor Castle, on a visit to the Queen. A deputation from the Trinidad, Great Eastern, and South- Western Railway Company, including the Hon. Percy Evans Freke and Sir George Rich, and accompanied by Mr. Edward Lewis, the solicitor to the Company, had an interview with Lord Stanley on Saturday at the Colonial-office. Dispatches were sent off on Saturday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governor of the West India Colonies. The Duke of Wellington attended the early service in the Chapel Royal, St. James's, yesterday. The prayers were read by the Rev. Dr. Wesley, and the sermon preached by the Rev. Dr. Maddy. The buke of Beaufort, the Marquis and Marchioness of Worcester, and Lord Norreys, were among the nobility attending the daily service in the Chapel Royal. The prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Repton, the lessons by the Rev. Mr. Povah, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Maddy. The anthem was, " Why do the heathen" (Kent). Lady Jane Peel left Farrance's Hotel, Belgrave-street, on Saturday, for Brighton. THE RACE FROM ALEXANDRIA TO LONDON: ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 22.—Mr. Waghorn started from this port for Trieste at 10 minutes past 11 o'clock on the morning of the 20 th inst., in a steamer placed at his disposal by the Austrian Government, and he hopes by that route to antici pate the arrival in London of the regular Bombay mail, which will go through France. The Hon. Company's steamer Semiramis arrived at Suez with the Bombay mail on the morning of the 19th, and Mr. Waghorn received a private India despatch from Suez,:by express courier, in the remarka bly short space of 21 hours. The Iberia leaves this morning with the Bombay mail, which will be sent vid Marseilles, thus Mr. Waghorn will have had from thc cram of the mail by 47 hours, and although it cannot be expected that a heavy mail of 60 or 70 boxes can be conveyed from Suez to Alexandria in as short a time as a single dispatch, still if Mr. Waghorn does anticipate the arrival of the mail in London by more than two days, it will prove that the Trieste route is shorter than that through France. STATISTICS OF OREGON.—At length we have some thing practical in the shape of a letter from the Marshal and High Sheriff of Oregon, who has been fifteen years in that coun t r y. a Last year," says he, in a letter to his brother in Mi ssour i, " I raised 1,500 bushels of wheat; this year I think I will have 3,000 bushels. I have a farm lying eight miles from the ship navigation, worth as much as half the countyyou live in. I have a large building in Oregon city that coat me about 7,000 dollars. I have also property in the city of Multanomah, and also in the town of Lmntan. Oregon city lies on the east side of the Willamette Falls, and Multanomah on the west side, and Linntan 20 miles below, at the head of the ship navigation. I have besides 70 bead of cattle, 15 head of horses, 900 hogs, 2 dogs, 1 cat, 3 children, and the old woman, with chickens innumerable." He thinks it is a fair country—soil good, timber tall, and climate fine ; has no ice in winter, but they have five months' continual rain still the crops are fair, and the cattle good.—New York Herald. THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON.—WO regret to hear that the ships constituting the experimental squadron have been in a very bad way since the late severe trial to which they have been subjected. The Albion has hem suffering from an internal complaint, consisting of a de- I rangement of the ballast, which rendered drastic treat ment necessary; and no less than thirty tons were taken from her. At one time her state was so frightfully plethoric that she was thought to be gradually sinking; but she has since rallied under the influence of strong stimulants. The Queen has been suffering from a pressure of the stays, and a straining of the arms, but is now considerably better. IThe Vanguard has been rather dropsical, and has water on the chest, but is now as well as can be expected. The Canopus was thought to have had two of her ribs broken, timbers ; but Panieby on a sound condition.—Punch.
