~~ ~t~ irRECK OF THE SANTIPORE. ey of Lgo Le, ste ti- ,dy ;en ) pa gybe ing or itir has 0 , all tat the, )le, ' nal the of Di. The port of Folkestone has been the scene of much excitement during the last few days in consequence of the wreck of the Santipore, a fine ship of 650 tons, the property of Messrs. Gilmore and Co., of George-yard, bound for Hobart Town, which, after losing her rudder on the reef known as the Church Rocks, near this place, Came broadside on to the beach, and is now lying " high and dry," at ebb tide, within 150 yards of the Pavilion Motel, and close to the harbour terminus of the South astern Railway. The Santipore left the London Docks On the 26th ult., with nine first class passengers, and a ego valued at 50,000/., and after encountering the full force of the prevalent south-westerly gales, against which she drove some distance below Dungeness, her comman der, Capt. Jewell, ran back into the Downs. On Mon th% the 3d inst., the weather having moderated, another attempt was made to run down channel, and on Tues day evening the ship was within six miles of Dungeness, in mid - channel. As night drew on the weather became very thick and hazy, with occasional heavy rain, dur ing vrhich it was impossible to verify, with any degree Of certainty, the ship's position. A strong south-wes terly gale sprang up at the same time, rendering it im- Possible to carry more than the storm sails. About midnight the tide set on to the English coast, and the ll 'urrent and wind together baffled all the attempts of the le aPtain to keep headway on the ship. There was no a pprehension, however, of the vessel's dangerous prox imity to the coast until within five minutes before she struck. The thick weather and the darkness of the night prevented the land being sighted until half-past five o'clock, when the ship was within a cable's length of the dangerous reef before mentioned. An attempt to wear he r off was made, but proved i ne ff ec t ua l. Sh e s t ruc k I r a ' r ilY, and rem a i ne d fi xe d on th e r oc k s, ro lli ng fear .4lllY with every sea. The captain had not had his clothes off for four days and nights, and the crew were in a state of great exhaustion, but there was no lack of "erg? even at this dreadful mo men t. A n or d er t o furl the sails, given by the captain, was gallantly re aPonded to by half a dozen of the crew, although the 14141 t$ Were swinging to and fro with the elasticity of 110rsewhips. The catastrophe was observed by an 43 facer of the coast-guard, who immediately ran into Folks 'done and gave an alarm. Several boats soon put off to le ader assistance, and 40 or 50 boatmen were in the viol atitY of the wreck in a very sho r t ti me . Th e fi rs t care o f I T a e captain was to save the lives of his passengers, and „7 8 Y‘ were sent ashore in charge of one of his officers. .; Ja Ptain Je we ll th en ca ll e d th e b oa t men t oge th er , an d 4d'orreed them that he was fully aware of the dangerous Position in which his ship was placed ; but that he did ho t intend to give up her command, nor should he leave her While two planks held together. He added, that ie 20 of those present chose to lend him assistance at the pu mps, he would accept their services and pay them, but ?Under no other circumstances would he allow them to act. he required number of men responded to the captain's tation, and consented to work under his command. ' e g r aph messages were at once dispat c h e d t o D over "nd R amsgate for steam-tugs, and Capt a i n H a th orn , /lava' s uperintendent of Folkestone Harbour, who was early on the spot, ordered the Princess Mary, one of e So uth -Eastern and Continental Steam-packet Com l'arlY's fle e t, to proceed to the spot, and render what D3/4'4440e she cou ld. N o thi ng cou ld b e done except keep the pumps going until the tide flowed. i n ur ing the morning the ship was an object of intense ' cr est to many th ousan d s of spectators assembled on t w e „ b eauh betw een F o lk es t one an d S an d gate. The force Toth which s h e s t ruc k on th e roc k s, and afterwards le ° , ll ed to and fro, would have broken up any vessel of 01 8 subst ant i a l f rame ; b ut the Santipore, being a teak i 2P , of Cal cu tt a b u ild, an d only f i ve years old, main -"'lned her first-letter character admirably, and held to heer lon g a f ter o ld and experienced sailors imagin e d 3-i W ould have been dashed to pieces. At noon, a ver tug-boat bore down to the spot, and, with the tinc e 3 3 Mary, en d eavoure d to make fast a warp to the ! er aels bo ws. In consequence of the gale and the clan alnus reef upon which the ship was lying, it was a long e before this could be accomplished. The Princess th :r3r first succeeded in making fast, and at flood tide all floc d o b eing kept h ar d a t th e pumps , th e S an tip ore ' a nd Came off th e ree f i n t o d eep wa t er , w ith loss n o rudder and false keel, and ten feet water in her hold.

It was, however, too late. B e f ore h e could get the full strainsc on a e t d o t h h is: boat, th e ship, drifting rapidl y i nwards, ground, and di rec tl y a f terwards stranded upon her rp broad side on the spot above indicated, heelin g over to the sea board with a tremendous list, threatening the momen tary destruction of the vessel. Captain Jewell instantly gave orders to cut away the masts, each of which fell in rapid succession, and the ship, being thus cleared of her top weight, lay comparatively quiet on the beach. Capt. Hathorn had been watching the wreck from early morn ing, and he now directed all the spare labourers in the company's service to assist the coast-guard in protecting the ship. A great deal of anxiety now prevailed as to ' what was best to be done, and it was only through the presence of Mr. C. M. Soutter, representative of the underwriters in London, who had been sent down on telegraphic intelligence of the wreck being received, that anything could safely be determined upon. Mr. Soutter Was on the spot when the ship came ashore, and after con sulting with Capt. Hathorn, and satisfying himself of the i mpossibility of floating the ship in her present state, he at once directed that the cargo should be removed. About 200 l abourers, and all the carts in the port, have been since engaged in this work. The goods are first hauled up out of the hold, then lowered into carts, and conveyed above high water mark, where they are deposited, pre- viously to being transmitted to London. The labour is vastly increased owing to the position of the ship, which, resting on a very steep beach, has a great list towards the sea, the deck being at an angle of about 75 degrees. The cargo consists of a general assortment of goods for the colonies, including a large quantity of silks and cotton goods, ready-made clothing, boots, shoes, spirits, beers, wines, some iron, a quantity of malt and oats, and some sawn deals for building purposes. The ship has 12 feet water in her hold at every flood tide, an d the work of unloading necessarily only proceeds at low • Water. The ship is underwritten for 8,000/. ; and the cargo, it is said, will involve a loss of about 30,000/. to the Royal Exchange and London Assurance Corpo rations. Capt. Jewell is an old experienced officer. T he catastrophe is not attributed to any want of skill On his part, but rather to the terrible weather which has I Prevailed during the past fortnight. His crew consisted O f nearly 20, all of whom are said to have behaved with great gallantry. Among the passengers was a Mr. Webb, of Sydney, who was on his return to the colony. 14 e bad property farthi ng of whichon board valued at 4,0001., not o ne • is insured. 271 . 8 LATE FATAL COLLISION OFF THE NORE. yet none of the bodies of theunfoortunoat, whichecrew ' W ho peri s h e d with the brig Harewood, of tndi foundered near the Mouse Light, after being m. -w ith the G eneral Steam Navigation Company's have P Trid en t , Captain Morris, in recovered. cosllitesan io.

The Arctic passed the steam-ship Baltic at 5 p.m. on the 2d, and the steamer Arabia at 5 a.m. on the 4th, both bound from Liverpool for New York. Secretary Marcy's reply to the Austrian Am bassador on the Kossta, case has been published. It occupies eight columns of the Washington Mirror. The following synopsis of the reply we extract from the New York Mirror : " Secretary Marcy takes the ground that the citizen or subject of any sovereign PoNver, having faithfully per formed past And present duties resulting from his rela tion to that Power, may at any time release _himself from the obligation of allegiance, freely quit the land of his birth, and seek citizenship under any other sove reignty. Also, that when a sovereignty becomes oppres sive to individuals, the right to withdraw rests on as firm a basis. That, in such a case of withdrawal, neither party—the Sovereignty abandoned nor the So vereignty adopted—has a right to appeal to its own municipal laws to settle the matter in dispute. There- I fore : " `Neither Austrian decrees nor American laws can be properly invoked for aid or direction in this case, but international law furnishes the rules for a correct decis sion ; and by the light from this source shed upon the transaction at Smyrna are its true features to he dis cerned. Kossta being beyond the jurisdiction of Aus tria, her laws were entirely inoperative in his case, un less the Sultan of Turkey has consented to give them vigour within his dominions by treaty stipulations.' " The Secretary says the law of nations has rules of its own on the subject of allegiance, and disregards the restrictions of municipal codes. This is evident from the proceedings of independent States in relation to extra dition, special treaties being required for that purpose. International law allows no such claim. The case of Polish refugees claimed by Russia from Turkey in 1849, and Hungarians similarly claimed by Austria, are cited in point. The Sultan rejected the claims, and was sup ported by the opinion of the civilised world. Austria appears to have been aware that her right to sieze Kossta could not be sustained by international law, and she has attempted to derive it from certain treaties or ancient capitulations by treaty and usage. " Secretary Marcy denies the power of such treaties and usages as set forth by Mr. Hulsemann, for the rea son that those treaties and usages were relied on by Russia and Austria in 1849 and failed, and no treaties have been since enacted on the subject. The Secretary is brought, by a fair application of sound principles of law, and by a careful consideration of the fact, to this important conclusion,—that those who acted in behalf of Austria had no right whatever to sieze and imprison Martin Kossta. Kossta was seized without any right ful authority ; he was suffering grievous wrong ; any one that could might relieve him ; to do so was a duty imposed under the peculiar circumstances of the case, by the laws of humanity. Captain Ingraham, in doing what he did for Kossta, would, in this view of the ease, be fully justified. As a further justification of the act of Captain Ingraham, the Secretary proceeds to show that Kossta, when he was seized and imprisoned at Smyrna, had the national character of an American, and the Government of the United States had the right to extend its protection over him. "To prove this national character of Kossta, the Secretary cities his genuine certificate of declaration of intention to become a citizen of the United States, made in the city of New York, as the records of Court show. Foreigners, nay, and often do, acquire a domicile in a country, even though they have entered it with the avowed intention not to become naturalised citizens, but to return to their native land at some remote and uncertain period ; and whenever they acquire a domicile international, law at once impresses upon them the national character of the country of that domicile. It is a maxim of international law that a domicile con fers a national character. It does not allow any one who has a domicile to decline the national character thus conferred ; it forces it upon him, often very much against his will, and to his great detriment. Interna tional law looks only to the national character in deter mining what country has the right to protect. If a person goes from this country abroad with the na tionality of the United States, this law enjoins upon other nations to respect him in regard to protection as an American citizen. " Secretary Marcy proceeds further to show that Kossta was a citizen to all intents ; that his absence from his United States domicile was only temporary ; that he had, therefore, a right to claim the protection of the American flag ; and that the agents under that flag had the right to protect him. If there was an improper use of a national ship it was an Austrian agent who first made it, and thereby compelled the act of Captain Ingraham. Therefore the President does not see cause for disavowing the acts of the American agents com plained of by Austria. Her claims are respectfully declined. " In conclusion, the Secretary says,— " Being convinced that the seizure and imprisonment of Kossta were illegal and unjustifiable, the President also declines to,give his consent to his delivery to the Consul-General of Austria at Smyrna. But, after a full examination of the case, as therein presented, he has in structed the undersigned to communicate to Mr. Hulse mann his confident expectation that the Emperor of Austria will take the proper measures to cause Martin Kossta, to be restored to the same condition he was in before he was seized in the streets of Smyrna on the 21st of June last.' " The Washington Union, in the course of a leader on the subject, presents the following facts : " It will be remembered that the Austrian Govern ment several weeks ago, and immediately after the occurrence of the Kossta affair, permitted itself to give ' to that transaction, and to all the negotiations conse quent upon it, a very unusual aspect, by addressing to the principal European Cabinets, in advance of any com munication to the Government of the United States, a circular letter of complaint and protest against the course adopted by the American authorities. The speedy pub lication, apparently not unintentional, of this circular, in the leading European journals, from which, of course, it was widely copied iu this country, was manifestly calculated, if not designed, to invoke from other go vernments and nations not immediately interested in the transaction of a premature judgment in regard could not it, which, as resting upon a mere ex parte statemen t , It is to be regretted that this departure not be considered as fair or free from u n d ue vernment of Austria from the established b i n tercourseshould have been so farythe usages and d proprieties of diplomatic o the Petersburg and Berlin as to m v oluntary parties to the controversy, b assume y in- S DI; t position o f countenanced du e b e y tb th e e se Cabine ts r um of e s tructing their representatives in Washington to inti mate to the President their general concurrence in the view taken by Austria of the proceedings in the case of Kossta. It is gratifying to state, however, that the Go vernments of France and Great Britain, to which the Austrian circular was equally addressed, have deemed 0 0 0 r tf Vienna Cabinetyi circumspect, en nao iftsp da risi sa iphopanrs not oa l tt t fo i a s ni l u oe n dt d t e tho r e s n t o a o k d e , in knownde e d, it proper to proceed in th e prem i ses w i th a far more at th p at ew h s t of the Austrian functionaries in regard toprKocoesesdtaingats Smyrna, even upon the Austrian statement of those proceedings ; and that the view it takes of the transac tion looks rather to the maintenance of the right and ter ritorial sovereignty of Turkey than to the interests or pretensions of Austria. The Government of Great Britain, though it has made known to that of the United States the fact that its attention has been drawn to the subject, has yet given no intimation that it regards the course of the American functionaries in the transaction as open to censure. Under these circumstances, it is evident that Austria, in advance of any claim upon us for satisfaction, and in a manner wholly unwarrantable, has arraigned the Government of the United States before the tribunal of the other great Powers of the world for the conduct of its agents in the affair of Kossta. This extraordinary pro ceeding has left to the President no other course than at once to give to the world the reasons upon which he rests the vindication of the American functionaries, and the views applicable to this case upon which his policy is based." The yellow fever at New Orleans had nearly died out. The deaths from that cause on the Ist inst. did not exceed 15. The amount of custom-house duties collected at the United States ports for the last fiscal year was $58,731,865 52c. General James Tallmidge, Pre sident of the American Institute, has expired sud denly in New York. The comet had created a sensation among the negro population of New Orleans. On a Saturday night about 500 of them assembled on an open space, and, stretching forth their arms, commenced singing. It turned out that a fanatical negro preacher had told his congregation that at 11 o'clock on that night the comet would come in collision with the earth and demolish it, but those who were found with their arms stretched to heaven, watching the coming of the catastrophe, and singing a hymn of welcome, were to be translated bodily into Para dise. In consequence the mob assembled, and the police made a descent on them, arrested 60, and the rest fled. The prisoners were fined 5 dols. each, or, in default, sentenced to 15 lashes each !

Among the deaths reported are, the acting Lieutenant-Governor, Colonel Phillpotts, Colonel Robe, Royal Artillery, Captain Harefoot, adjutant, and wife. There were a number of the officers sick, lying in the hospital and in a church converted for the purpose into an hospital. Among the sick was Major Oakley. Letters from Newfoundland report the total failure of the potato crop. This, in connexion with the unprosperous fishing season, caused fears of a famine to be entertained. A very severe gale had occurred on the northern coast, and a number of fishing vessels, with their crews are reported to have been lost. The advices from Europe per the America, had a depressing effect upon the N ew Y or k stock-mar ket. Erie tailroad shares opened at 79, and fell to 78 : Nicaragua shares fell Ito 1 ; Parker Vein, ; and Hudson River Railroad, Ito 1. The de mand for money continued active, and the rates of interest were high. Loans on call were quoted 7 per cent. ; three and four months' paper 8 to 10 per cent. ; and four to six months' paper 10 to 12 per cent. The imports of dry goods continued greatly in excess of last year, and a large amount of money was required for the payment of duties. I The amount of surplus revenue in the United States Treasury on the 23d ult. was 27,503,090 dols., which has subsequently been increased to 30,000,000 dols. Foreign exchange in good demand, and r rtes firm ; bills on London, 108/ to 1091; Axis 5,121 to 5,15 ; Amsterdam, 404 to 41 ; damburg, 361 to 36 8 ; Bremen, 791 to 791 ; and Frankfort, 41 to 41k. 100,000 dols. of the stocks to run to 1867 to 1868, 50,000 dols. of each were received at the Treasury Department from one house in Liverpool and cancelled. The cotton market had been dull, with little or no change to notice in prices. The sales for the three days were 2,100 bales. The total export of cotton from the United States since the Ist of September, 1852, amounted to 2,529,119 bales, and for the same time previous year to 2,440,509 bales. The domestic dry goods trade continued active, both with the commission houses and jobbers, nearly all the leading cotton , staples L'ising retained their firmness, and in some instances better prices had been obtained. Woollen manufactures ; on the contrary, had, with few ex ceptions, been *sold at a slight concession in prices. Holders of cloths, cassimeres, and satinettes, evinced a disposition to close up their stocks, in view of the downward tandency of the raw material. Brown sheetings and shirtings continued in fair re quest at nc. to 81c. for the leading heavy goods. Previous to the arrival of the Franklin the flour market was dull and prices tended downward ; but subsequently, under the influence of favourable advices from England, the market rallied and prices advanced 61 to 18/ cents., the greatest advance being on good State and Western. Prime Western wheat continued scarce, with a continued active demand for export. The market closed very firmly at an advance of 3 to 5 cents per bushel. The market for Indian corn closed firmly at a slight ad vance in price. Provisions without change. The iron-market generally was firm, and full prices were realised ; 1,000 tons of Scotch pig had been sold in lots at $37 to $37 50c. six months, and $35 cash ; 60 tons of common English bars at $65, and 300 to 400 tons of refined at $7O to $7l. Freights to London without change. THE GOLDEN AGE AMERICAN STEAM-SHIP. In outward appearance the Golden Age is very much like the Collins' steam-ships. Her dimensions are as follow :—Length, 285 feet ; breadth, 43 feet 6 inches ; depth of hold, 32 feet; and 2,864 tons register. She has a beam engine of somewhat peculiar construction, with a diameter of cylinder of 85 inches, and 12 feet stroke. The boilers constitute the chief peculiarity. They are each 40 feet in length, and are fitted up with furnaces at each end, the smoke-funnel ascending from the centre. By this arrangement it is claimed that economy in both space and fuel is gained, and the truth of the proposition is very evident, as far as regards space. There are eight furnace doors at each end of the boilers. The hull of the ship was built by Mr. W. H. Brown, of New York. The lower frames are of live oak, and the top frames of locust and cedar. The entire hull is double diagonally braced with iron bars five inches wide by three quarters of an inch thick, and four feet apart. She is ceiled with eight-inch plank, the bilge kelsons are 14 inches square, and planked outside with six-inch plank ; 13 kelsons run the whole length of the ship. The Golden Age has accommodation for 1,200 passengers of all classes, the steerage alone being fitted up for the accommodation of 600. Two of the saloons, of which there are three, one above the other, are panelled in rose, satin, and zebra woods • with crimson and gold plush and rich hangings, and adorned with mirrors. In the upper saloon the same general arrangements prevail, although in place of the satinwood panelling the sides are finished in white and gold. In this saloon are two "family rooms," one finished in gold, the other in blue, with lace curtains, mirrors, drawers, closets, &c. The Golden Age is the property of the New York and Aus tralian Steam Navigation Company, who propose con structing four or five more vessels of the same class as soon as their arrangements are completed. For the I present she is intended to ply between Australia and Panama, and eventually between Australia and San Francisco. She will sail from Liverpool for Australia in a few days. STAMPS ON PROMISSORY NOTES.—In reply to a letter requesting to know whether a promissory note payable on demand, but not to bearer, drawn on a penny stamp, with the impression "On demand," be a legal security, Mr. Keogh of the Stamp-office has written as follows: " I am directed by the board to inform you, that the promissory note referred to is wholly worthless, and can not be properly stamped even on payment of a penalty. The recent act of Parliament imposing a duty of Id. on draughts or orders for payment of money to the bearer, or to order on demand, has nothing whatever to do with promissory notes, the duties on wh ich are unaltered by that act." A WIFE KILLED BY HER HIISBAN in D IN GLASGOW.— On Friday an investiga tion was held Calton, i n refer enceto a supposed case of murder, but the facts have not as as yet been fully ascertained. So far as we are in formed, it appears that Alexander Anderson, a spirit. dealer in Great City-road (east), quarrelled with his wife, who had but recently been delivered of a child. The occasion of the quarrel was the casting of reflections upon the conduct of the husband, when he, in a state of excitement, kicked her with his foot on the abdomen, which produced internal hemorrhage. Seeing that his passion had led him to commit something serious, he immediately ran for medical aid, but it was unavailing, for the woman had little more than time to declare that her husband had given her a kick before she expired. In the course of the evening Anderson was taken into custody, and the case is to undergoe investigation.— Glasgow Herald. MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH BETWEEN LONDON AND MAN CHESTER.—The English and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company has very nearly completed the laying down of wires between L on d on an d M anc h ester ; indee, yester day, the contractor's workmen had very nearly reached Ardwick Green ; and by Saturday next, it is expected that a communication will have been effected between the company's central office, New Broad-street, London, and the Manchester station, in the Exchange-arcade. We believe that, in the whole, ten or twelve copper wires, coated with gutta percha, are being laid down, enclosed in iron piping or wood troughs, the trenches for which are generally dug to a depth of 2 feet below the surface of the ground. The high road has generally been followed ; and among other towns, the wires pass through Birmingham. The laying down has been effected very rapidly, compared with what could have resulted if the old mode of laying wires through towns had been followed ; the advantage resulting chiefly from the manner in which the iron pipes have been cast, and which enabled the wires to be laid in them, instead of requiring that they should be drawn through. We be lieve that it is net yet decided when the line is to be opened for the transmission of publio messages.—Man chester Guardian. FALKIRK TRYST, Oct. 10.—The last for the season of these annual markets was held to-day, commencing with the sale of sheep. The high roads, in consequence of the rain that fell the night preceding, operated much against the appearance of the sheep. The stock was very considerably above an average, and the extra num ber was made up by the heavy show of black and faced ewes. The large prices asked in the and nomorning the effect of making business very du11, sales were effected before ten o'clock. At three o'cl fee o s tin p the afternoon never were there such a quantity of of all kinds seen unsold at Falkirk Tryst. Never were prices so difficult to be obtained. In consequence of the fall, Cheviot ewes and h _ , suffered a reduction at the close ve ter s, upon an average, of the market of f rom 3s. to 4s. a-head ; and the blackfaccd of from 2s. 6d. to 3s. At the close of the mar ket fully 6,000 sheep were unsold.

MURDER AT SANTA CRUZ.—A fisherman, named An drew Cracovitch, a native of Hungary, was waylaid and shot by a Scotehman, named Joh n C lare, on the evening of the 16th, on the beach at Santa Cruz. Some dispute had occurred between them relating to some fishing lines, or some such trifling matter, after which Clare re turned to the mission and purchased a pistol. Some three hours afterwards, as the fisherman was crossing the beach, Clare rose from behind a pile of lumber where he had concealed himself, advanced a few steps and fired, killing Cracovitch instantaneously. He was arrested soon after, and on his examination acknowledged the crime. On Wednesday evening, the 17th ult., the citi zens proceeded to the gaol in which he was confined, took him out, and hung him on the spot where he com mitted the murder. He died without evincing any com punction for the deed, or apparently without the slightest fear. PRINTING FOR THE HOUSES OF PARLISMENT.—The expense to the public for printing for the Houses of Par liament last year was 54,030/. into the quarter-boat of the Trident, and called for assistance. The mate of her joined me in a few minutes. We were lowered down and pulled to the wreck, and found the mainmast and maintopmast standing and the captain in the maintopmast rigging. With some diffi culty we succeeded in getting him off, and we then pulled back to the steamer, which returned to the Thames and landed us. Did not see anything of the men who perished when I went off in the boat. They were all on deck, forward, when the collision took place. The brig went down in two or three minutes after the collision. Captain Graham says—When Mason called ray atten tion to the lights of the steamer I said, "It's all right, I see her." On observing the red light, I took the lan tern and held it over the weather gangway for two or three minutes, and after I thought the steamer had seen the light I took it again, and I was just in the act of hanging it in the companion, when the men forward called out that the steamer was against our bows, and immediately the two vessels came in contact, the Trident's weather bow striking our weather bow, the cap of the brig's bowsprit being left sticking in the steamer's weather side of topgallant forecastle. I ran from the companion towards the fore-end, and turned about, intending to go down to my cabin to save my papers ; but when I got to the companion, I saw that she began to turn her stern up. I then turned round to run forward again, and got as far as the long boat, and caught her by the stern just as the lashings broke, the hull then being under water. After I had caught hold of the boat, she rose and jammed me under the mainyard. With some difficulty I contrived to extricate myself from that position, and succeeded in getting into the top mast rigging, and from there on to the topsailyard, and I kept shouting to the steamer to come and take me off. In the course of ten minutes Mason came to my aid in a boat, and rescued me. I did not see any thing of the remainder of the crew, who went down with the vessel, not a scream or a cry escaping from them. Not more than two minutes elapsed from the time of our being struck to the brig sinking. The wind was blowing strong, with showers of rain ; it was dark, but not so dark as to prevent vessels being seen any distance from each other. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 12. The Conflict screw steam-sloop has made another trial to-day, in Stokes's Bay of the boomerang propeller, the invention of Colonel Sir T. Mitchell, Surveyor-General •f New South Wales. Various experiments have lately been made by the Conflict with the common screw, por tions of which have been cut off, until at the last trial the surface left was reduced to that of the boomerang blade. The forms of the blades are thus described : That of the common screw consists of a sixth part of the whole screw, or helix ; that of the boomerang traverses a sixth part of the whole screw, or helix, diagonally, and has much less surface and weight. It was the opinion •f some engineers that, if the blade of the common screw were cut down so as to leave the same extent of surface in the middle part as the Australian screw had in its traversing blade, the effect would be as good. The re sult of the experiments have proved the reverse. The common screw when deprived of 12 inches at each cor ner barely came up to the action of the boomerang blade, and when cut down by the removal of 18 inches more its action was less still. There evidently appears an advantage in the oblique blade and leverage of the boomerang, while its surface and weight are much less than are those of the common screw, the vibration being also less. To-day the wind was squally, its force vary ing from two to four on the beam. The revolutions of the engines were 671, and the greatest speed attained was in the last two runs at the measured mile, which averaged 9.804 knots per hour, the greatest average ever attained by the Conflict. In order to give an accurate conception of the exact results of the trials of the com mon screw and the boomerang, we subjoin the results of to-day's trial of the latter, and of three others of the first-named, made on the 21st of September and the 6th and the 7th inst., it being only premised that on the 21st of September the wind was a dead calm, and the ship only just out of dock, where she had had her bot tom cleaned : The Common Screw.—Trial of Sept. 21.

We h ave a d v i ces from Bermuda M to U the 13th of Sep tember, giving a fearful account of the fatal progress of yellow fever in that island. It first made its appearance poyr, the, one board th e convict hulk Thames, stationed at St. G ge's raendbesionogn went through th e w h o l e sh i p ' s com an - no hospital ship to receive the sick. It very soon reached the troops in garrison and the townspeople. How long it would continue was uncer tain, as there was still a month or six weeks of hot wea ther to look forward to, and heavy rains were setting in in succession to an exceedingly hot season. It is stated that the Thames is beached at St. George's, under the Barrack-hill, where she has continued imbedded in her own filth for eight or nine years, without the slight est attempt at keeping her from the accumulation of filth. The immediate cause of the fever is ascribed to the fact that six weeks previously a severe gale occurred, in the course of which the Thames shortened her heavy chain moorings ' • they were consequently per m itt e d t o work in the filth in which she was imbedded until the whole surrounding atmosphere was poisoned with the effluvia, and sickness was the consequent result. The Weymouth (another hulk) has been taken down to St. George's, and the survivors removed into her from the Thames. The Bermuda Royal Gazette of the 13th of September, gives a list of the deaths during the last five or six days of August. It amounts to 81 persons, 40 of whom were convicts. Among the fatal cases is that of Lieutenant A. G. Woodford, 56th Regiment. Of this regiment 106 were sick, and 9 men, 1 officer, 4 women, and 2 children had died. Of the 205 convicts only 25 have escaped the fever, and 50 have died. The Gazette says that the fever was less intense. The mail-boat Spray, Captain Hunter, arrived at Ber muda on the 11th of September, 11 days from Halifax, bringing dates from England to the 20th of August. The ship Emerald Isle, 537 tons register, Captain Pellatt, under charter by the Emigration Commission ers, which arrived at Plymouth on Sunday, sailed for Adelaide at 2 yesterday afternoon. She embarked here 193 statute adults, viz., 34 married couples, 7 single men, 92 single women, 22 boys, and 30 girls under 14 years, and 7 infants. Some of these were selected here by Mr. J. B. Wilcocks, emigration agent, through whose active exertions the Emerald Isle received such quick dispatch. The owner, Mr. D. Smith, is Bono out in her. WOOLWICH, OCT. 12. APPOINTMENTS. Master—George Johnson (1830), from the Boscawen, 70, guardship in ordinary at Chatham, to command the Apollo troop-ship at Sheerness. Assistant-Engineer—Henry I. Sones, of the 3d class, is promoted to the 2d class. Masters' Assistants.—Samuel M. Spry, and Thomas R. T. Quinn, have received their first appointments. The Tyne storeship, Master Commander Peter Wel lington, is to be paid off at this port on Saturday next. THE CHANNEL FLEET.—The screw squadron, under command of Commodore Martin, were lying off the har bour, south of the Old Head of Kinsale, on Saturday, awaiting directions to join the Channel fleet at Spithead ; but ditiatches forwarded from the Admiralty by the Highflyer, it is said, countermanded those orders. Her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Highflyer, 21 guns, Cap tain Moore, which arrived on Friday in Queenstown, took up the mail for the screw squadron, and left on Saturday. It consisted of 6,000 letters for the officers and men of the fleet. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship Ajax, 53 guns, Captain Warden, will leave Plymouth on the 18th, for Queenstown, and relieve her Majesty's steam-ship Terrible, 21 guns, Captain 111‘Cleverty. Rear Admiral Carroll's flag will be transferred to the Ajax on arrival.—Cork paper. THE ARMY. Captain Bidebottom, sth Dragoon Guards, has quite recovered from the effects of the accident which lately occurred to him in Cork. A troop will shortly become vacant in the sth. The 7th Hussars being completed to its establishment, recruiting has ceased. A serjeant of the Bth Hussars has been sent to Lon don to recruit for the regiment. NEW SPIRIT ACT.—On Tuesday an act, passed in July last to regulate the excise duties on spirits, came into operation. The act imposes additional duties on spirits in Scotland and Ireland, and alters the counter vailing duties on spirits the manufacture of Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, or Sark imported into Scotland or Ireland, and the countervailing duties and drawbacks on the removal of certain mixtures and compounds between Scotland, Ireland, and England, and also amended the laws relating to the collecting and securing the duties of excise upon spirits. The latter part of the act took effect on the 11th inst. Various alterations are made as to the distillation and warehousing of spirits.

(From the General Boarckff Health.) MARYLEBONE. A death, registered diarrhcea, 5 days, and English cholc Ira, 2 days, occurred on th e B t h inst., at 19, Car burto n-street, Fitzroy-square. Six families reside in the Li ouse, which is dirty and dilapidated. The back yard is in a very offensive condition. There is a filthy open privy in the front cellar ; the soil is on a level with the floor. In the front area is the water butt, without 4ny cover ing or lid. The water is so impure that the inmates of the house have repeatedly complained to the landlord, but nothing has been done. The week before last the putrid carcase of a cat was found within the butt. rile deceased attributed his illness to the horrible effluvia from this privy, which remains uncorrected. A child has had a severe attack of choleraic diarrhcea in the house. 1V1.;.,ny of the localities in this parish, Marylebone, are described to be in a most unwholesome and dangerous condition. NEWCASTLE. A table drawn up by the board exhibits in a striking manner the impression made upon the disease by the house-to-house visitation. Taking three periods, the first from the 21st to the 25th of Sept. (5 days), the second from the 26th to the 30th (5 days), and the third from Oct. Ist to the Bth (8 days), it appears that while diarrhoea continued to prevail extensively, and the cases approaching cholera remained numerous, the cases of cholera were reduced from 67 in the first period to 28 in the second, and to 6in the third. In the first period the daily averages of the different classes of cases were : —Diarrhoea, 504.6 ; approaching cholera, 73.2; cholera, 67.8 ; deaths from cholera, 64 ' • from diarrhoea, 2.4. Ssoond period : --C ases o f diarrhoea, 520 ; approaching cholera, 54.6 ; cholera, 28.4 ; deaths from cholera, 32.8; from diarrhoea, 3. Third period :—Cases of diarrhoea, 297.5 • approaching cholera, 19.9 ; cholera, 6.75 ; deaths from cholera, 9 ; diarrhoea, 1.6. Of the total number who have perished by the epi demic in this town, it appears that little more than one seventh were under 15 years of age, while one-four teenth were above 60 years of age. Up to this time it would appear from the returns that about 1,000 able bodied persons have been destroyed. The average age of all whose ages have been returned up to this time is 33i years. LIVERPOOL. From the Bth to the 10th of October, there have occurred 26 new cases of cholera. Of these 18 were German emigrants (chiefly passengers by the Isaac Wright), 2 Irish emigrants, 2 inmates of the work house, and 4 residents of the town. Twelve deaths have taken place, viz., 7 German, and 1 Irish emi grant ; 1 inmate of the workhouse, and 3 residents of the town (all in th e same street). Three of the German patients were from an emigrant ship, the Emma Field, now lying in the river with between 400 and 500 passen gers aboard. No other case of sickness has been die. covered among them, but they are carefully wa t c h e d. It is stated that the parish authorities have taken a warehouse shed in William-street as an hospital for the north end of the town, and are endeavouring to secure similar accommodation to the south end. They have also engaged a fourth dispensary in a central situation. On the 11th a house-to -house visitation commenced in the locality in which the three deaths from cholera have occurred. On the same day seven new cases were reported to the officer of health, four affecting emigrants (three foreign and one Irish), and three inmates of the workhouse, none of whom had had communication with the emi grants. Among the new cases are two of the Isaac Wright's passengers, one passenger from on board the Garrick, and one from the Antarctic. No new case has been reported from the town. The Emma Field has been cleared for sea by the government medical inspector, no further case of illness having appeared among her passengers. DARLINGTON. On the 10th Dr. W. Lewis, accompanied by the poor law inspector, visited Darlington and met the guardians, who, on the suggestion of these officers, ordered forth with a house-to-house visitation, with a view of ascer taining the amount of diarrhoea, prevailing in the town, and whether any and what additional preventive mea sures may be required. On the same day there was a full meeting of the magistrates to take into consideration a long-disputed question which it appears had caused bitter animosity in the town—namely, whether pigs con• stitute a nuisance and should be tolerated in the close neighbourhood of dwelling-houses. After much discus sion the magistrates appeared to be divided in opinion, and appealed to Dr. Lewis, who decided against the pigs, whereupon it was ordered that the pigs should be removed, the offender in this particular case being fined 405., and ss. a day from the day notice was given. MIDDLESBOROUGH. The result of one Gay's house-to-house visitation n this place, made by the resident medical men, was the discovery of 78 diarrliceal cases, to nip which in the bud, and thus to prevent, if possible, any outbreak of cholera, it has been determined to appoint two house-to-house visitors to devote themselves entirely to the work of visi tation. STOCKTON. By the vigorous measures employed a decided impres sion has been made on the disease in this place. Several entiro families have been removed to comfortable apart ments belonging to the workhouse, and no illness has in any one instance manifested itself among those that have been removed. Another remarkable fact is stated. Dr. Lewis is said personally to have exerted himself to persuade a certain family to remove, as other families had done. His exertions were seconded by those of some of the town authorities. One of the children of this family had died on Sunday. The father and mother were told that if they remained there during Sunday "Right more of the children would surely suffer. Unfor tunately no representation was of any avail : they re fused to move. On Monday another child was seized with cholera and died the same day. GATESHEAD. Oct. FS, 9, and 10.—Cholera . l2 Diarrhoea The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in Gateshead to the present date has beet 496. During the like period (viz., the first 34 days) 1831-2 the deaths amounted to 144. The total number of fatal cases of cholera which have occurred in Gateshead from the commencement of the present outbreak (Ist September) to the 10th October inclusive has been 459. The total number of deaths from diarrhoea during the same period has been 37 ; making a total of 496. COLDINGHAM BY ♦TTON. Oct. 10.—Cholera DIINSE. Oct. 9.—Cholera Oct. 10.—Cholera 1 1 THE SEAMAN'S HOSPITAL:—The committee of this institution have just issued a notice to captains o ships and seamen generally, enjoining them to send every seaman, on the first symptom of diarrhisca, on board the hospital ship lying near the Dreadnought, off Green wich, which is to be kept open at all hours for the pur pose, and not to detain men on board until the pre monitory symptoms have passed. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) TUESDAY, Oct. 11.—We have had a very dull market in yarns, neither home nor foreign buyers showing any improved disposition for business. Prices have not been tested so as to enable us to say more than that in some counts of mule they are rather against producers, while in water twist they are sustained in tolerable firmness by so many mills being stopped at Wigan. The ap proaching suspension of all work (on the 15th inst.) at Preston has occasioned rather more inquiry for shirtings to-day, which, however, would not be worth mentioning if we were not just now thankful for very small favours. It seems somewhat singular that, under present circum stances, there should have arisen some call. which we have not lately had, for some kinds of cloth, on the part of the Greek merchants. Such, however, is the case, though here again we may seem to be making the most of the matter. The market must be described as a flat one, with prices to some extent in the buyers' favour. At Bury, the hands in one concern, who had turned out against a withdrawal of the ten per cent. advance of wages conceded a while back, have returned to work at that reduction, which will now become general in that locality. The power loom weavers of James Ferguso* and Co. of Carlisle turned out for an advance of wages on Friday last ; but as their employers did not yield to their demands, they made application on Monday to be a llowed to return to their work, which request has been complied Oct. d''i 1 th. o.—We have had a decidedly worse market than that of the previous Monday. There is no di s position on the part of the merchants . to buy at pre sent. The wool market h as al so been slack, and prices may be quoted a shade easier. HALIFAX, Oct. 8. The cau ses w hi c h h ave , f or some time past, tend e d to d either in d e depres s th e wors t e d t ra d e , are s till in operatio n ; and w e cannot note any i mprovement, inq i i y ry ar f ti o worsted dr market is price. In our piece h a ll t o -d a y th e rgboy no odsofall sorts was very limit e d. Tie u means brisk, either for ex. port or fo r h ome consumption ; but the near approach of the close of the shipping season tends to keep prices as they were. Wool changes hands slowly, at nearly late rates. HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 11.—The market has been very quiet again to-day, but more business has been done than last week. Numerous inquiries have been made of the manufacturers for heavy goods suitable for the coming winter, but transactions have been confined to very small purchases, as there appears to be a general im pression that goods will be lower in pike after the forthcoming London wool sales. ALGlERS.—According to the official report, there were in Algiers, on the 31st December, 1851, 21,048 Jews. While the number of Moorish inhabitants is decreasing, that of the Jews is on the increase. In the province of Algiers there are 33 synagogues ; namely, 23 in Algiers (7,000 Israelites), 3 in Blidah, 2 in Medeah, 2 in Mi lianab, and lin Orleansville. In the town of Constan tine there are 9, and one in each of the provincial towns. The province of Oran has 32 synagogues, 17 of which are in Oran itself. In Algiers a synagogue is on the point of being erected, which will cost 119,000 francs ; it will be built at the expense of government. In the year 1851 there were four French schools for Jewish boys, and one for girls. The criminal statistics for the year 1850 give 415 accused-249 Christians, 150 Mussul mans, 26 Jews • in 1851, among 271 accused, 143 Christians, 100 Mussulmans, 28 Jews. The ministerial report makes no mention of the charitable institutions of the Jews.—Jczoish, Chronicle. `~"-'~" _ s , -
