DE LAMARTINE ON THE RE VISION OF THE CONSTITUTION. IVe extract the following from the forthcoming number of M. de Lamartine's periodical, the Con.sedler du Peuple : " Opinion in France is the true sovereignty; it is, be assured, irresistible like destiny. Call yourselves royalty or republic, monarchy or democracy, legitimacy or Orleanism—Bonapartism or Socialism— the name is nothing ; public opinion is king in France—that is the truth. If then public opinion, eighteen months hence, should say—' I wish the Constitution to be corrected,' everybody will say the same thing; the National Assembly will say the same thing in spite of factious coteries and parties. Nothing can resist the current of a crisis of opinion in such a country as this. It is the country of echo, as Pythagoras would have said; there is only one voice when the true voice shall have pronounced the feeling of the day. The Constituent Assembly will arrive at Paris with the full powers of the people. It will be republican, because France will have two years to reflect, and reflection which demon strates the impossibility of three restorations in compe tition of rights, will be the republic as much as the in stinct of the people. But it will be moderately , republican, for the country, business transactions, pru dence, time will show, that any violent or extreme Go vernment is illogical in a nation which above all enter tains a repugnance to civil war or suicide. It will then revise the Constitution in three or four article?. 1. It will re-establish the sincerity of universal suffrage, the unity of rights and peace between classes, by re-estab lishing universal suffrage, mutilated by the law recently passed. 2. It will free universal suffrage from elements really vitiated, or too floating, which injure it. It will re-establish the votes by communes, or by groups of communes. I t will destroy the execra ble system of election by ballotting lists, which syste matically blind the eyes to mislead the hand. 3. It will, perhaps, establish two Chambers, instead of one, but of equal power; an elective Senate in place of a Council of State, which occupies the place of a power without having the action cf one. I said myself, in supporting in 1848 the principle of one Chamber, that I only defended the system for five years, during the revo lutionary period in which a sovereign Chamber is obliged at every moment to take the dictatorship, and dic• tatorship cannot be divided. 4. It will examine the dis position of France, the Government more or lees happy, more or less republican of the expiring Government, and it will deciJe if it will or not efface from the Constitution of 1848 the article which interdicts the re-eligibility of the President; it will examine, besides, if it will or not prolong the constitutional duration of presidencies during the first years of the republic. If it should decide for the re-eligibility and the prolongation of the first magistracy, it is sovereign, and will nominate a provisional Executive Government, and will con voke the country to the election of a new President. If the country should nominate another person, the Presi dent will retire, as at the end of their forced dictator ship, or their legal power, the provisional Government, the Executive Coatmittee, General Cevaignac, the Con stituent Assembly, retired; and the Conservative Repub lic will then be founded. There will be a solution; a so lution of public i 4 o d sense—asolution by the Consti ution, a solution by opinion, a solution by law and patriotism! Why dream or others? For that there must be neither treason, nor violence, nor coups d'etut, nor corruption of the army, nor an 18th Brumaire, nor a 15th May of the bayonet, nor an eppeal to revolutions. here must be only two things—a people exercising the sovereignty through the ballottina-box, and a disinterested citizen understanding veritable civic grandeur in the person of the present President of the Republic. Both these things may meet to found together the practical Sove reignty of the nation, and to give to the republic the only element it wants—the sentim'nt of its praetica bility and duration. Tee speech which the President of the Republic recently delivered at Lyons seems to attest ( what I have alway s thought of his elevated good sense and his honest ambition) that he so understands the grand tole which the republic: o&red, and which his name has ren dered easy. If this name gave -offence to prudent re publicans, if their duty was to warn the nation against being carried away by a souvenir of glory which might have compromised liberty—this name also, it must be admitted,. and I have admitted it—might have given force to the maintenance of free institutions at the com .meademenr. The people lives by souvenirs and preju dices. This name surrounded the cradle of the Repub lic with souvenirs and prejudices. Well-inspired states men make use of everything, even of a danger, in order to cause institutions which they wish to leave to their country to take deep root. Tne name of Bonaparte may be peril or salvation according to the man. Let him choose between the applause of barracks and the serious and lasting esteem of posterity." THE MOORS, Scc. Our notes from the moors and forests are limited this week. The weather has been so bad as to inter fere materially with the sport. Lord Lovat shot one day last week 35 brace of grouse ; the Master of Lovat 40 brace ; and Mr. Stourton 33 brace—all on the same moors. Sir Henry Nieux bagged 35 brace at Dundriggan in a day, and he has stalked and shot several fine deer in the cornier. We hear that Lord Ranelagh, at Ardgour, has shot several, fine-headed stags. In Suther landshire Lord Ellesmere got a noble stag, 28 stones weight as he fell. Lord Selkirk, at Gilder mory, has also shot a stag of very large dimensions. At Flichity, Captain Lowndes, B. Langton, Esq., and Mr. Alacdonall, shot in three days 57i brace. At Banchor, the Messrs. Bonham Carter shot, on the 27th, 16} brace—a very wet day, wind so high that the birds were as wild as hawks. The Foyers party, John Fowler, Esq., Mr. Gould, and Mr. Bendel, bagged, last week, about 200 brace of grouse 'and several red deer. Mr. Balfour has had some good fishing in the Conon, and brought down two fine deer in the forest. Mr. Massy and party, at Kinrara, killed, on the 12th, 90 brace of grouse. On the 15th, shooting on Cairngorm, Mr. Massy, with his own gun, brought down 15 brace of grouse 6 brace of ptarmigan, and some mountain hares. Sir Hyde Parker, Bart., and R. Palmer, Esq., at Pityouli-h, shot 30 brace on the moors of Aviemore on the 12th. Sir Arthur Chichester's sport in the Lochcarron forest during the month has been unprecedented. In one week he brought down seven deer —one particu larly a very fine s tag—end mortally wounded other four; all good shots. During the same week he killed three roebucks. His sport on the moors has been equally successful. One afternoon he shot twenty brace of old cocks, and caught a number of salmon the same evening. Captain Hall, of the Madras Cavalry, shot a fine deer at Applecross the other day; and Colonel Whyte's sport on the Carron has been good. At Torridon, Kinlochewe, Mr. Charles Mackenzie, of Scotsburn, killed one deer on the 21st, and on Wednesday was so fortunate as to secure a couple— one stag with a famous head, and, without the offals, weighing 19i stone. OTTER I:IUISTING.—r-On Friday, the 23d instant, Sir Arthur Chichester having devoted the day to otter bunting at Shieldaig, Applecrov, had some splendid sport, and brought down two uncommonly large otters, with ball, at a long distance. THE NESS.—This river continues far too high, and so much rain has Allen that there is not much pros. pect of its falling to the proper size within the season now approaching a close. PERTHSEITRE Moons.—Mr. Forman, at Glenbruar (Athole), 283 brace to his own gun in four days; at Kinloch (Strathbraan), 1501 brace and three bares, on the 12th ; at GrandtUlly (Strathtay), the party on the 12th, 133 brace ; Mr. Hay bagged 26i brace and a hare, after mid day of the 14r h ' - at Dalnamine Mr. Robertson 34 b race on t h e 12th, Mr. Clason 32, and Air. Robertson 10, on the same grounds ; at Glendye on the 12th, Sir James Carnegie bagged 63 brace.— Inverness Courier. INDIAN CORN. — Notwithstanding that no sales of Indian corn of importance take place at present, owing to the prolific and superior crop of potatoes, which are con sumed by the labouring classes for the first time since the famine, cargoes of maize continue to arrive in Queenstown. Tuesday'. six vessels with maize and three with wheat ar rived. —Cork Constitution. THE SUN, RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE LOWESTOFT RAILWAY AND HARBOUR. SOUTH YORKSHIRE. The CuaiumAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, spoke of the satisfactory working of the amal gamation, and remarked that, as compared with other railways, the South Yorkshire stood at least in as fa vourable a position as any. The report having been seconded, was carried nem. con. Another resolution was passed declaratory of the dividend proposed by the directors. The meeting then became special, for the purpose of considering a proposal emanating from the board, to allot to such of the proprietors of River Dun shares as chose to accept them 150 shares, equal to 3,0001. stock, bearing a preferential dividend of 4 per cent. per annum for each River Dun share, in lieu of 150 shares bearing the fluctuating dividend to which they are entitled under the Act of Incorporation ; such new stock to be liable to be redeemed at any time within ten years, on the payment of 3,5001. This proposition met with a great amount of oppo sition. The CHAIRMAN stated in explanation that it was desirable for the railway to have a certain obligation instead of a fluctuating one, and Mr.DENISON contended that it would be preferable for the proprietors of River Dun shares to have a certain definite value attached to their property, be cause much of it was held in trust. After an animated discussion, the question was de ferred fur twelve months, that the River Dun pro prietors might have time to ascertain which course would best suit their interests. A vote of thanks to the chairman ended the busines• BEVERLEY AND MARKET WEIGHTON. A publ►c meoing, convened by the Major upon a numerously-signed requisition, was held at Beverley hut week, to consider the propriety of taking steps to forward the completion of the line ; Alderman Sandwich in the chair. The CHAIRMAN in opening the proceedings stated that they had suffered much from the want of a communication between Beverley and Market Weighton since the opening of the Hull and Selby Railway, which had driven the coaches off the road, and they were now left almost en tirely to chance to go through to Market Weighton and York. He understood that in the Hull and Selby Railway Act there ivas a provision for a rail- way from Beverley to Market Weighton, and the object of the present meeting, he believed, was to memorialise the directors to fulfil their undertaking. After some observations in favour of the project, and on the great importance of the line to the inhabi tants and trade of Beverley, by Messrs. Boyes, Cross kill, Collins, and Tigar, re so l u ti ons were passe d to the effect that in the opinion of the meeting it was absolutely inc'umbent on the York and North Mid land Company to complete the line from Ycrk through to Beverley, as a rival line which was con templated was only abandoned on the faith of the directors of that company perfecting the line in question ; and that a memorial be presented to the directors of the York and North Midland Company on the subject. The proceedings concluded with the usual vote of I thanks. JAMAICA MARKETS. Flour—The sales since our last have been two lots of Canada hard packed of 100 barrels each, which arrived via Liverpool, at 253. and 253., and 100 barrels Balti more at 355. We learn that the latter brand is ROW held for 365. Two parcels were sold last week at 345. The stock is exceedingly light. Meal is in good demand at 18s. 6cl. to 19s. A parcel of 200 barrels coarse has changed hands at 163., and 100 barrels hard and sour were sold at auction at 13s. 6 , 1. Rice—East India is still plentiful, but as the principal portion of the stock is in the hands of speculators, no great quantity is forced on the market, and 133. may be said to be the general rate, The large parcel of Caro lina referred to some few numbers back has been gra dually cleared off. principally by retail operations, at 188. There is now, therefore, very little on hand, and the article continues to be moved at the same rate. Butter—An arrival direct from Cork and another from Liverpool have increased our supply of Irish by upwards of 1,500 firkins. This large quantity coming in at a moment when the market was already more than ordinarily depressed, has been of course productive of the natural result. The trade will not offer anything above Bd., and holders are firm at 9d. The stook of old Irish has been greatly reduced, chiefly by retail operations, at our last quotations. Halifax has been sold at 70.; a parcel of United States has also bee❑ moved at the same rate. These descriptions will be greatly affected by the abundance of Irish. Bread—Cracker; (Wattson's) are scarce ; there are not any in first hands. New York, packed, realizes 193. in small parcels. Pilot bread is very dull of sale, and it is found difficult to move Baltimore at 15s. per barrel. Mackerel —The demand for this artier has visibly de creased. Holders are willing, but unable to clear their hands at 243 per barrel. If the receipts be at all as heavy as those of last month, it is expected prices must go down to 18'. or 20s. Herrings realize 14s. with difficulty, for prime Ne. 1. Alewives remain at 18s per b arre l of usual aeight. Part of an arrival from St. Juhn's of 500 b arrels was placed at that rate, but they were rejected as being short 301135. to 401bs. the barrel, and resold at 16s. They are not iii much demand. Pork is in fair demand, with a very moderate stock. Mess may be quoted at 765., and prime has changed hands at 603. per barrel. Id a t Bd. The lb. Some W es tph a l ia have 13-en so 114ms—English have been inactive at Sid. to 9d. per mar ket is heavily stocked with all descriptions except American, % hieh are scarce. , Brandy —The stock is greatly disproportioned to the demand, which is exceisirely dull, and prices are almost nominal. Hum is in very little inquiry. Best brands cannot cf•mwand more than as. Id. tor procf 21, duty (2s. per gallon) paid, while in some instances only 3J. has been offered. Sugar has improved, and is likely to continue advanc ing. Prices range from 16s. to 199. per 100 lbs. for good ,o clear. - Coffee and Pimento —None at market. Logwood has been offered at 365. per ton. Freights—The number of vessels here is much in ex cess of the produce likely to be sent down for shipment. Tonnage is consequently low. Exchanges—On New York, 2 and 3 per cent. for mer chants' bills at 60 days' sight. Gold—American is worth 1 to 2, sad Columbian doubloons 24 to 3 per cent. prem. On Saturday the half-yesly meeting of this coin pang Arm held at Lowestoft; Mr. S. M. Peto pre sided. The revenue account for the past half-year showed that 5.4951. had been received, and 3,8461. expended, leaving a clear profit of 1,6481. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the accounts, referred with satisfaction to the present position and future prospects of the company, and the progress made in the completion of the construc tion of the harbour works. They had so far suc ceeded in keeping their outlay within the amount of capital, that their total expenditure was 346,2161., and the further sum of 4,2501. was only required to complete the construction of their works, making their total outlay 350,467?., which would be greatly re duced by the sale of their surplus lands ; the receipts on the railway traffic were also satisfactory, and he looked forward to the success and future prospects of the company realising .the expectations of the pro moters and proprietors. They had erected an ice house, the profits of which would realise 6 per cent. on the outlay—(Hear)—they had ample accommoda tion for the fishing trade, and they were in treaty with influential parties for the erection of oil and cake mills, so essentially required in Suffolk and Norfolk, which would add greatly to.their revenue, as also steam flour•mills. Captain ANDREWS stated his entire confidence in the successful completion of the works, which were fast advancing to their final completion, securing a safe and commodious harbour at a smaller cost than anticipated ; there had been an increase on the revenue from the dues on the harbour alone of the half-year of 8361. 2s. 9d. Within the last week a vessel water logged, drawing 17 feet of water, had been towed into the harbour, where it sank, and but for its existence the vessel must have been irretrievably lost. The works of the harbour were in that state of forward ness that a very short time would ensure their entire and satisfactory completion.—(Hear, hear.) After some iurther observations the accounts were received and adopted, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. 1 . The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Sivffield on Saturday. Lord Wharn c llffe presided. After the usuil preliminaries had been gon e through, the secretary read the report. It congratu lated the pr o prietary upon the fact that, in addition to the railway, the amalgamated company possessed an uninterrupted navigation from Sheffield to the east coast. The directors had pleasure in stating that the passenger traffic on the South Yorkshire Railway was satisfactory in extent and steadily increasing. The mineral traffic, from which the greatest amount of profit was expected, had not yet had time to develops itself, the branch lines into the South Yorkshire coal fields being yet in an unfinished state. Mr. Bartho lomew, the company's engineer, had reported that there was a prospect of a great increase of traffic. The amount available for dividend for the half-year was 9,2911, being made up of an unappropriated surplus from the River Dun, combined with the earnings of the railway. It was proposed to pay a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum from the com mencement of the half-year to the 19th of April (the time when the amalgamation took place), and 2 per cent. per annum from that date to the 30th of June, leaving a balance of 3,0511. to be carried to the next half-year's account. The next resolution confirmed the forfeiture of 5,271 shares, upon which 16 ,500/. had been paid, or 3/. 2s. 6d. per share, involving a loss of 2/. per share to the company, according to the present market value of the shares. LONDON, Malt—Both bottled and iu bulk is plentiful. Lane's Cork stout tells as wantPd at 80s. per bog:bead. A ROMANCE WITHOUT FICTION. About three years ago, the Rev. R. S. M'Clay, of Concord, Franklin county (late of Gettysburg), re ceived a call on the Board of Foreign Missions con nected with the Methodist Episcopal Church, to visit China, and preach the Gospel to the benighted Celestials of the central flowery land. M'Clay was young, ardent, enthusiastic, and most willingly em braced the high and holy duty assigned him. In due time he arrived in China, and was stationed at Fan Chile, some 700 miles, in the interi o r, f rom Hong-Kong. There he studied the native language, and commenced his labour among the Celestials, with the most flattering success. Still there was something wanting—a void in the heart to be filled ;he sighed for that best solace to man, either in weal or woe — a wife. How to get one was an intricate question to solve. There were no American ladies there from whom he could make a choice; as for a Chinese wife, the laws of the land forbade it, neither did his inclination desire it. What, then, was to be done? A fertile imagination can accomplish wonders— a firm determination can surmount difficulties that would " o'er-top old Pelion." He wrote to the board of mission on the subject—he wrote in pathetic —we might perhaps say poetic—strains of his lonely condition for the want of one on whom he could be stow his affections, and who would be the partner of his joys and sorrows through life, and ended by ask ing the board to send him a young lady who would be willing to become his wife, agreeably to his di rections, which he sent in the form of a blank decla ratiOn, to be filled up by the lady accepting the proposition. This was a novel proposition, but the board was of opinion that it was a just one, and proceeded with due diligence to search for the object desired, and, strange to say, success crowned their efforts. Some time previous to receiving Mr. M'Clay's letter, a young lady, Miss Henrietta Sperry, of Brooklyn, New York, made application to the board to be sent as a missionary to China, but was refused on account of being unmarried. To her the application of Mr. M'Clay was shown ; she at once filled up the blank application, and a correspondence ensued, which ended in her leaving New York, in company with a number of other missionaries, on the 12th of March last, in the ship Tartar, for Hong-Kong, where she will be met by Mr. M'Clay, and the nuptial ceremony will be solemnised. The lady's personal attractions have been described to us, by one who had the pleasure of seeing her pre vious to taking sail on her mission of love. She is described as being beautiful and fascinating in appear ance, and possessed of that charm of loveliness which should adorn every female character—a well culti vated mind, stored with the richest gifts of know ledge from the fountain of education, and a moral re finement which will bear with it the jewel of a bright inheritance beyond the confines of time.—American Paper. SUNDAY POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS. Yesterday, by command of the Postmaster-General, ,here was a general delivery of letters and newspapers ,hroughout the metropolitan districts and the provinces. :a the majority of cases the delivery commenced shortly after nine o'clock, and terminated at half-past ten in the forenoon, and although in some instances it began rather later, in no case was it permitted during the hours of Divine service.

PORTSMOUTII, SUNDAY.—The Lords of the Admi ralty re-commenced their inspection of the port on Sa turday morning, by boarding the Sidon, Bloodhound, and Retribution steam-vessels. They then mustered the artisans of the yard, whom they afterwards dismissed for the rest of the day, in pursuance of the annual custom. They then transacted business with the heads of the departments, and ultimately dispersed for the day, the First Lord going to his seat at Stratton-park, near An dover, and the rest of the' Board proceeding in various directions. On Monday the Board will re-assemble, when the First Lord will hold a levee at the Naval Col lege, whilst his colleagues finish their inspection. The Britannia, 120, was commissioned yesterday at this port by Captain Yates, of the Illustrious, for the flag of Rear-Amiral H. Prescott, C. 8., superintendent of this dockyard, as an efficient ordinary depot ship, in lieu of the Illustrious, 72. The Fire Queen steam-yacht was temporarily commis sioned yesterday for the use of the naval studtnts and other officers. doubtwthi e F ll E prn t shortlynth l e PEMBROKE t ii.i the ooEbbfn been Dchanenodc erected.l E ovyA contemplated nl actively defencen E i,, Engineers, A ge oui fortifications engaged eer a entt . the rafis 3 ene, Itah.. stationedt — cai invon T ne 1 nsohi Colonel e r na 1 epdn inspecting worksas t Victori thn n ag o r wb Pem brokeaao for nn n u dd o r the offi h ee a r v s e mostnrk sfor advantageous the defence site i t e n ffor theth e port. erection The e tb x e am nc in ee in ss g the works Stack Rock, Thorn Island, Dale Point, &c,,, were visited by the officers, who have now inspected all the available point. , The contract for the const ruct i on o f a fort or . large Martello tower on the Stack Rock h as b een ta k en, end similar erections will be formed on Dale Point, Thorn Island, and other commanding situations, all of which will be mounted with guns of heavy calibre, on traversing carriages.

Tre foflowing circular has just teen isu.d to al local coniatittees in connexion with th Commis. " PROTECTION OF At EXHIBITED FROM PIRACY. Office for the Executive Committee, " 1, Old Palace, Westminster, 26th August, 1850. " Sir,—ln reference to th e e i g h t h decisioa of her Majt-sty 'a Commissioners, which states that arrange- ments will he made for the protection of articles which may be exhibited trow piracy of the design,' I am in structed by the Executive Committee to request that you will inform your local committee that an Act has been passed in the last session of Parliament which enables exhibitors at the Exhibition of 1851, with the view to obtain a protection from piracy for special classes of articles which they may exhibit, to secure a provisional registration of them, which is to last a year, or even eighteen months, if su extended by the Board of Trade. The nature of the articles and character of the protection afforded are defined by the two several De t-ians Acts of 1842 and 1813. By the first (5 and 6 Victoria, c. 100) a copyright or pr party is given to the authors or proprietors of original designs for ornament ing tiny article of manufacture for terms varying from twelve months to three years, on pay ment of fees varying from ls. to 3/.; and by the second Act (6 and 7 Victoria, c. 65) a copyright of three years is given to the author or proprietor of any new and original design for the shape or configuration, either of the whole or any part of any article of manufacture having reference to some purpose of utility, on pay merit of a fee of 10/. In both cases the copyrights are conferred and protected from piracy by a penalty of from 5/. to 301, recoverable either by action in the superior courts or by a summary , proceeding before two magistrat--s. During the con tinuance of the provisional ragistration the proprietor of the design may exhibit it, and may sell or transfer his right, and at the expiration of the term may re gister the design according to the usual form. It is necessary that intending exhibitors should clearly understand that the provisional registration conferred by the new Act cannot be applied to any articles of new manufacture or invention for which a protection by letters patent is necessary. lam further instructed to say that there are reasonable ex pectations that the Lords' Committee of Privy Council for Trade will be pleased to determine that the rights of provisional registration shall be granted, without pay ment of any fee whatever, to all persons exhibiting any urticles at the Exhibition of 1851, which would be en titled to claim protection under the above -mentioned Acts, and that the Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851 will be enabled to afford facilities to exhibitors to .effect such provisional registration in the building of the Exhibition. It will be my duty hereafter to transmit for your information the rules which it may be necessary for exhibitors to follow in availing themselves of this privi leAe. I request you will have the kindness to commu nicate this letter to the mayor of your town (if any) and the chairman of your local committee as early as possible. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " M. DIGBY WYATT.' REPRESEIVTA7ION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. CAMBRIDGE, AUGUST 31.—According to pre3ent ap pearances there is every probability of a contested elec tion. and that between two Conservatives, viz., Mr. Walpole and Mr. Cowling. It is allegel by Air. Co, , sling's supporters that he came forward only atter Mr. Walpole had been solicited to stand without avail. They assert that Mr. Walpole gave a must unqualified assui - ance that he would not allow himself to be put in nomination, and that he was then told by one or the most influential of the parties who waited upon him that he should, of course, consider him self at liberty to support and aid Mr. Cowling by join ing his committee. On the other hand it is stated that Mr. Walpole only made such a statement because he understood that Mr. Cowling had already entered the lists and secured the suffrages c f a majority of the resi dent rn.mbers of the Senate, and he declined merely be cause he would be no party to anything like a division of the Conservative interest. Certain it is that, should Mr. Walpole determine to come forward. some of Mr. Cow ling's friends will be placed in a somewhat awkward position. The requi ition to Mr. Walpole has received the signatures of 46 resident members oi .the Senate, and this is a formidable numb.-r when it is considered that Cambridge is now comparatively deserted. The names appended to the requisiti uri include those of several heads of houses and professors. A deputation has set off to writ on Mr. Walpole with it, avid his answer will be made public on tneir return. There is as yet n.) au thentic announcement of the intention of a candidate in the Liberal interest to offer himself. t Y MA RKETS. lo change in the trade to day.

The trade has not, therefore, received any material impulse therefrom; but a steady demand has been experienced for flour, which the supplies, being on a limited scales, have barely kept pace with, and fully previous prices were consequently obtained. Oatmeal has continued in fair request without change in value. At our market this morning there was no new feature ob servable, a moderate consumptive business being trans acted in each article on terms fully equal to the currency of this day se'nnight. New oatmeal was saleable in re tail at 23s 6d to 24s 6d per load.

The trial of the master and mates of the Orion st , amer, which was lost on the coast of Portpatriek in June last, was resumed on Friday, before the High Court of Justi. ciary in Edinburgh. Lawrence Ferrier, assistawskeeper of the Mull of Gal loway lighthouse, and J. B. Scott, keeper of the light house, spoke to the fact of a fog having come on upon the night of the accident, John Gray, nautical instrument-maker, Liverpool, had examined the compasses of the Orion on the 30:h of May, in consequence of Captain Henderson having told him they were wrong, and found them quite right. The witness sustained a cross-examination as to the disturb ing effects of iron upon the compasses, and stated that they might sometimes go wrong during a voyage from local attraction. Several witnesses were called to give further evi dence with reference to the wreck, but nothing new was elicited. This closed the evidence for the prosecution. The declat ation of Captain Henderson, taken at Port patrick, before Mr. Alexander 111'Neel, sheriff-substitute of Wigtonshire, on the 19th of June, was read. It stated that on the evening of the wreck the weather was fine, with north-west wind. The vessel passed the , Mull of Galloway about midnight, when the watch was changed and the second mate was the officer of the watch. There were two 100k -outs, namely, the man at the helm and the officer of the watch. Saw them all at their post be - fore he retired to his own room. At the time the vessel struck he was ',Ong on a sofa in his own cabin 34 on deck asleep. Did not consider it his duty, in the state of the weather and position of the ship, to bo on 'A deck at the time. He was in a state of fatigue, and re quired rest. Was aroused by the shock and rushed on deck, and discovered that the vessel had struck on a 14 rock. Saw the land, and knew where they were. Thought that the accident happened by the miscalculation of the second officer of the distance of the ship from the land. After the accident he exerted himself as much • as possible to save the lives of the passengers, and as far as a man and a sailor could do he thought he had done his duty. One of the boats, the starboard lifeboat, • on being let down, got under the paddle-wheel and was swamped by the vessel sinking. Did not know how many boats reached the shore with passengers. There were some boats came from the shore, and in the gray of the morning it was difficult to distinguish between the shore boats and their own. Considered the ship ce boats to be in proper order. Went up the rigging as the ship sank, and remained there as long as the top of the masts remained above water, and till he saw all the passengers clear of the wreck. He was the last to leave the ship. The shore boats were very cautious in ap proaching, for fe ar o f a rus h o f passengers. He had rye left special instructions to call him if there was any o change of a :s a e s t similar aroused It use d w b a y s thethe shock the usual practice of the is commanders of the other ve sse l s on t h e li ne to g i ve such called, instructions butwas circumstances. is i ew as n vessel. t "Nt When the ship stru c k h e str i pped himself, in order to es 9 swim ashore ; an d h e was almost naked when taken off 12 % 230 the wreck. 16% PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

He stated 1 4 that' he was on the deck a few minutes after midnight, to 4.6 take his turn of the watch. The master remained on the deck till half-past twelve, and on leaving said, "John. 34 if it becomes anyway thick or hazy, mind give me a cell." When the vessel was oil the pier of Portpatrick it sud • denly became thick, Could see the pier quite distinctly at first, but when declarant saw the fog coining en he ;% gave orders to John Kelly, who was at the helm, to keep ; the vessel north by west a hall point off from the land. se Was going to call the master, according to his instruc tions, when the v esse l struc k. Could not understand how the accident occurred, unless the current had swept the vessel inshore against the helm. It was not un usual, on this part of the coast, for the master to go to his room for an hour or so. Declarant kept the vessel near the shore for the purpose of shunning the tide. The master gave him no order to do so on this occasion. Re mained on board till the ship went down, and was saved from the rigging. The Solicitor-General withdrew the charge against the first mate, Langlands. The jury having returned a verdict of rot guiny against Lauglands, he left the bar, and shook hands with the captain, as well as several friends in court. EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE, Mr. Craufurd then called evidence for Captain Hen derson:— Captain William Johnstone, harbourmaster, Glasgow, gave Captain Henderson an excellent character. Captain John Boyd—Retired about a 3 ear ego from the command of the Admiral steamer, having been fur 16 years previously on the Glasgow and Liverpool pas sage. Captain Henderson joined about the time he left, Witness had no written instructions when in command, but he was not in the same company as Captain Hender son. As captain, witness had no particular watch. In fine weather the first and second mate took watch. The captain was (always on deck going down the Mersey. when off the Mull of Galloway, when off the point of Ayr, and generally when off the Cumbraes, as also when going up the Clyde. Was in the habit of retiring occa sionally for rest in good weather after passing the Mull, and generally gave instructions to be called in case of tee. fog. The lifeboats were usually covered, and there were plugs in all the boats. The hole was generally kept open, as the covers did not keep out the rain. The pugs It 4 were kept in a locker in the stern of the boat, and were not fastened to the plug , hole. If he saw Portpatrick ' light on the starboard bow he would steer north. If the iS light was two points and a half on the starboard bow the course would be quite safe. For the Crown—The vessel generally passed a quarter of a mile off Dunman Head, and drew to within half a _ mile of Portpatrick as they proceeded. The captain and Liverpool pilot had the responsibility of navigating; the ( cc. Mersey, and the captain and Glasgow pilot the Clyde. Considered himself entitled to retire for four hours, or a whole watch, for rest after passing . the Mull, and was generally called again when off the Cumbraes. If the Mall was discovered with fog he would not go to sleep. It was a very common thing for such fogs to come and go in a short time. The life-boats hung inside, and 34 were seldom examined; perhaps not fur eighteen months. By the COURT—The) starboard or second watch was generally called the captain's watch, but in point of fact the captain took no more charge of this than afty other. He might occasionally look a little more narrowly into it. If the second mate went wrong while in charge of !e the vessel he would not consider hi mse lf responsible, for 34 he supposed the owners would be satisfied with the competency of the man. Several other witnesses were called, who gave si milar evidence as to Captain Henderson's character and abilities. Captain Crawford, of the Princess Royal, plying be tween Glasgow and Liverpool, corroborated what Capt. Boyd stated as to retiring during the second mate's watch, and after passing the Mull. Captain J. Dalzil, one of the first commanders of steamers in Scotland, spoke to the excellence of the 34 Orion as a steamer. He had known vessels lost from the ;34 deflection of the needle by local attraction. The Iron Duke was lost on the coast of Kent from this cause, ; when the needle varied seven points. • George Langlands; first mate of the Orion, described the nature of the passage from Liverpool. He gave up his watch when two or three miles south of Dunman head. It was then quite clear, and th e stars were shin ing.% They were then coasting from a mile to Ore,. quarters. Left the deck a quarter before one o'clock. Passed Dunman-head about half a mile, and they were in a safe track. At the nearest they were not within half a mile. The captain was on deck when the watch was changed. Before rounding Cromart Point, had he been commanding, he would have brought the ship to tce. N. half W., and on clearing it, would go perhaps direct north till ho saw the land at Portpatrick. Had seen other boats a long way inshore of them in passing Dunman-head.' It was the captain's practice to keep a little to the west in passing this point. When he retired 4 ' there was nothing in the weather or the course to make him apprehend any danger. It was difficult to launch ) the lifeboats from the crowds of passengers that were qi below when the vessel struck, but ran up immediately. There was great confusion and alarm, and every one of the boats was full, though hanging on the chocks. The captain retained his composure, and did all he could 'n to save the passengers. He and witness were taken off the mast-head last of all. 'Witness was in the royal navy for some time. Had seen many life boati, but never saw the plugs fastened. W By Mr. Penney—The mate in charge of the vessel bad the discretion of giving any course he thought pro pers while on his w a t c h , according to the tide, &c. 7 Witnesses were then called in favour of Williams. It was proved that there were about eight tons of iron on board. Mr. Hatcher and Mr. Clark, of the Electric Telegraph Company, stated that they had made experiments to test the influence of iron on the compass, and found that was very considerable. Captain Douglas, superintendent of the Clyde Navi gation Company, stated that no directions were given by tbo company as to the regulations of the captain's time of watch. Several witnesses were examined as to character, and with reference as to the launching of the boats of the Orion. The Solicitor-General then addressed the jury for the Crown, and at 7 P.M. an adjournment took place until Saturday. SATURDAY.—The trial commenced to-day at 9 o'clock A.M., and finished at 7 o'clock P.M. Mr. Craufurd, advocate, addressed the jury at great length for the master of the Orion steamer, Thomas Henderson. The LORD JUSTICE CLERK then summed up, when the jury retired for about half-an-hour, and returned into court with a verdict, finding, by a majority, Thomas Henderson (the captain) Guilty of culpable neglect of duty, and John Williams (the second mate) unanimously Guilty. The LORD JUSTICE CLERK then, in an impressive address, sentenced John Williamc, the second mate, to seven years' transportation, and Thomas Henderioh, the captain, to 18 months' imprisonment.
