THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY - 18, 1853 ABANDONMENT OF A BURNING EMIGRANT SHIP, tance from the wreck as he did, and his expressing his great fears of getting any closer. Considering the dis tance which the boats had to travel between the two ships, and in such a sea, it is snip:icing that so large a number of passengers were saved. I have been examined at the British Consulate office at Havre respecting the loss of the St. George. The captain and his officers, and Captain White of the Orlando, were also examined by the consul. The St. George was an old vessel, and was, I believe, insured at New York. John Star and Charles Baterham made statements confirmatory in every respect to that made by Cousins. The poor fellow has suffered much from being frost bitten ; he has lost the use of his feet, and moves about on crutches. He speaks in very grateful terms of the treatment he experienced from the inhabitants of Havre. These are the only survivors of the St. George, as we can learn, who have returned to England. Captain Bairn son remains at Havre.with most of his crew ; and we understand that it is the intention of the agents at Liverpool to provide the remainder of the emigran;;s who continue at Ilavre with passages in their first vessel to New York. By the arrival of the General Steam Navigation Com pany's steamer Sir Edward Banks, Captain Grant, from Havre, on Sunday evening, which brought over three of the survivors of the St. George, emigrant ship, we have been enabled to collect the details of the abandonment of that ill-fated vessel. The disaster has attracted much attention at Lloyd's, from the circumstance of its being reported that, amongst the cargo of the St. George, was a quantity of oil and naphtha, if not something of a more inflammable character, which, if true, rendered her, in deed, a fire-ship. Doubtless, the truth of this will be ascertained by an investigation spoken of before the naval department of the Board of Trade ; but the fact of the master, his officers, and the crew, deserting the ship, with the living freight on board, the very first opportu nity that presented itself, tends to strengthen an impres sion that they anticipated some terrible calamity. What renders the catastrophe; if anything, more shocking, is that the whole of the unhappy beings who perished in the ship were women and children—not a man amongst them. The subjoined are the statements made by the snr• vivors, who have reached London : George Grant Cousins, of No. 44, Winchester-street, Clerkenwell, London, says—l was one of the crew of the St. George, emigrant ship. The crew numbered 25 in all. She had a general cargo, such as coals, oil, iron, and miscellaneous goods. I saw part of the cargo placed on board. I have heard there was naptha amongst it, but whether such was the fact, I am not in a position to say positively, as T did not see it. With the exception of four of the passengers who were Englishmen, the whole of the emigrants come from Ireland, agricultural labourers and their wives and families. Her gear, sails, &c., were ample ; carrying a fire force pump, with gutta percha hose, and besides a new life-boat, which was bought at Liverpool just before her sailing. She had four other boats. They were sufficiently capacious to hold the entire ship's company and passengers. A day or so before the breaking out of the fire, oil was pumped out of the hold, from which we inferred that some of the casks of oil had burst. A great quantity was pumped up. The fire was discovered cn the morning of December 24. As near as I can recollect, it was about eight o'clock. At first little notice was taken of the alarm, the smoke being so small. The smoke that came up was thick and black ; it rolled up in clouds, and filled the between decks, when the steerage passengers became alarmed, and took to the upper deck. Some assisted in working at the force pumps. After playing down the fore hatchways for about two hours, the captain ordered the machine to be run to the hatchway aft, in which direction he suspected the fire existed, and told the men to rip up the deck to find out where it most prevailed, which they did, but without tracing its locality, the' smoke became more dense every 'moment, and of that suffocating character that the men were in a short time unable to live in it. Some of them had to be dragged out. One of the steerage passengers was suffocated in his berth. The situation of the vessel now became alarming, the pas sengers, particularly the women, were in a most ex cited state of. alarm. The captain had previously told all the women and children to go on to the poop. When they were all assembled, many were loading themselves with all they possessed, putting on several gowns and other clothing. A large number of the male passengers were doing likewise, several were putting on two or three suits of clothing, in fact so overloaded themselves, as to cost them their lives, for they were unable to leap into the boats, and, falling into the sea, were instantly borne down by the heavy weight on them. As soon as the Orlando hove to, and the order was given to clear away the boats, the line boat on the house was hoisted with tackle, but in lowering it one end of the tackle either broke or was cut away, she fell into the sea, stern down, the men in her, seven or eight in num ber, clung to the thwarts and saved themselves by those means • the other end of the tackle being lowered, she was righted, and the water was baled out. The larboard boat was got out about the same time, and I imagined at the time that the captain intended sending off some of the passengers. I was 'perfectly collected at the time. I saw nothing to be frightened at. I knew well it would take some hours before the ship could be burnt, and I was certainly taken by surprise on looking over the ship's side to see the two boats some 400 or 500 yards from the vessel making for the Orlando, containing Captain Bairnson, and all the crew, with the exception of five hands. Captain Bairnson never returned to the ship. At the time Captain Bairn.; son and his officers took to the boats the passengers were crowding the main rigging, expecting to be taken in them, but none were allowed to go. The captain with the rest jumped into the boats. In about an hour and a half we saw the life-boat returning towards the ship, but on approaching within a mile and a half of us, those in her beckoned to us to round the ship again to get closer to the Orlando, which we did, and bore on for about half an hour, when she hove to. The Orlando was drifting away from us. The life-boat returned to the Orlando without taking any one off. She then ml.de third trip, and reached the St. George about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and took - in eight or nine passengers, and two of the crew; all had to watch the boat rising on the top of a wave to jump into her. Two others, in an attempt to join it, fell into the sea and were drowned. She made a fourth, fifth, and sixth trip that evening. They could have taken off more of the passengers, but they would not jump, though prevailed upon to do so. They were implored to jump, as it was the only means left them to save their lives, and they were told that they must inevitably perish in the burning ship if they persisted in not taking advantage of leaping into the craft when she rose along side. I. with another seaman, left in the fifth trip that day. We were the last of the crew. I would not have left as I did, but the captain and all the officers and men having abandoned the ship, I was at a loss to imagine their reasons for so acting. There was no one left behind who knew how to manage the ship. Her wheel was lashed, and she was rolling fearfully ; at times she was almost on her beam ends, and when the boat came alongside, it was necessary to keep her some distance off, to prevent the ship, as she rolled over, taking the boat under. The other, I have omitted to mention, got stove in getting alongside the Orlando, and sunk. When I left, the gale was increasing. I saw, however, no appearance of fire in any part of the vessel, but a great deal of smoke. After getting on board the Orlando, the life-boat made two other trips. The last was made about nine o'clock. It was then considered dangerous to make any more that night, and the boat was hoisted on deck. The Orlando had two boats, but it was not safe to launch them. She remained by all night about ten miles distant. No communication was made during the night with the St. George, and the storm raged more furiously. At daybreak the following morn ing (Christmas day), Captain Bairnson came forward and asked who would volunteer to go off to the St. George to save the lives of the passengers. I was one of the party. Off we went, and in the course of an hour and a-half succeeded in coming alongside. Still there was no means of assisting them, and their only chance for them to reach her was to jump. Sometimes a sea would carry the boat high above the ship's bulwarks, and when she did so, several seized the opportunity and sprang into her. We remained a long while alongside, imploring fell overboard. boat We could lost. do No nothing one to saved others to follow the e xample of those who had jumped, but fear and terror s eeme d to have seized them. Seve ral al who missedebnyhe pre serve them. On ret urn i ng to the Orlando, with eight or nine passengers, among whom were three females was and a boy, a hole w as f ound in the bottom of the nails in in wh h i i c s h h w oo as ts, stovend w in h the jum be ped, th il e e na h it stove in in and shattered the pl an ki ng. A shirt was thrust in the hole, and prevented her sinking. It was necessary to repair her before another attempt could be made. It was past 12 o'clock before the repairs were completed. I did not go in her again. She made several trips be fore night—how many I cannot say, and on each trip brought away some of the passengers. I don't recollect ever seeing the officers going in these trips. The re port made by those who made the last trip was that no male passenger remained on the k wreck • the poor crea tures who were left consisted entirely of children ; the number they could not tell ; but on call ing over the names of those on board, for Capt. Bairnson had saved the ship's papers and logbook, some 50 were ascertained to be missing. In the middle of Christmas night they were alarmed by obs • erving the wreck within a mile of the Orlando. It was supposed that the lashing which had been fixed to the wheel when the master abandoned her, had cut or burned away, and the ship getting before the wind she bore down in the direction where the Orlando was lying. Her appearance created much alarm, for instantly sail was made on the Orlando, and being a lighter vessel than the St. George soon got far away. They never afterwards saw anything of the St. George, or heard what fate she or her passengers met with. The next morning Captain Bairnson, who was in a dreadful state of mind, called the men together, and asked whether any of them would volunteer to risk another attempt with him to rescue the unhappy creatures, adding that it was a horrible thing to abandon the wreck while so many poor things were on it. None would volunteer to go. Every one, as also those belonging to the Orlando, being convinced an attempt would prove fatal. It was then proposed to make all speed to Havre, and accordingly the Orlando was so directed. She reached that port on the eleventh day after they had been taken on board. In the course of Christmas night it was reported on board that the St. George had blown up. I did not see it myself; my impression is, knowing that she made ' considerable water, and that a large quantity of water had been pumped into her, that she foundered within twelve hours after they had left her. She was set tling down when the last boat left her. I heard from some of those who were last brought off from her that the decks had become so hot that they could scarcely walk upon them, and that the glass of the skylight was cracking. Some one had also seen the n all mainmast yield ing over, as if the bottom of the mast had been in burnedthe away. The St. George had eig ht feet of water as to the ea ice hold when I left her. I cannot give any . opinien • 1 of the fire. I think Captain Bairnson did he could to preserve the passengers. He was a very kind and humane commander to the crew and pas s e n ge r s , • and while he remained on the . ore than I have why he and the crewship, the crew were prompt to his order. I cannot explain so quickly left the ship. I have heard since that he did so in consequence of anticipat ing something serious from, an explosion. Some of the passengers said there were naphtha and gunpowder on board, but I know nothing of such material being in her, although. from the circumstance of Capt. Bairnson so speedily lev,ving her, I am induced to suspect that ,there must have been " something" among the cargo. I am further strengthened in this impression by the captain of the Orlando keeping his vessel so great a dis- COURSE OF EXCHANGE—Tars DAY.

This day, at one o'clock, a meeting of the proprietors of the above company was held—Alderman Thompson, M.P., in the chair. The report showed that the net earnings amounted to 90,6881. 19s. 6d., which, with the balances, &c., would yield a dividend of 2 per cent. upon the capital stock for the half-year ending Dec. last, and leave a balance of 30,0881. 16s. sd. A resolution was proposed to the effect of the report, and after an amend ment to increase the dividend to 2/ per cent., but which was not supported, and the chairman having ex plained that it would be much better to leave the ques tion to the result, and then if practicable to give a bonus rather than a present increased dividend, the resolu tion was agreed to. After a vote of thanks to the chair man and Sir John Hall, the secretary, the court adjourned. HONORARY DEGREE OF LL.D.—The Senatus Acade . micus of the University of St. Andrew's, at their last meeting, unanimously conferred the degree of LL.D. on Thomas Miller, M.A., F.R.S.E., Rector of the Academy of Perth, author of " A Treatise on the Differential Calculus, with its application to Plane Curves, to Curve Surfaces , and to Curves of Double Curvature." PLEASURES OF THE TROPICS.—On Wednesday morn ing last the bar-keeper of the Pavilion Hotel, Taboga, not appearing at the usual hour, Captain M'Kinney, the proprietor of the house, proceeded to his room to call him, when, to his astonishment and horror, he found him insensible and bathed in blood. After the usual restoratives were applied, the bar-keeper stated that on the previous evening, after retiring, he remembered ex periencing the most delightful sensations, as of fanning, which soon put him into a deep sleep, and he had no con sciousness of the attack made upon him until the morn ing. The only wounds by the bat were two small spots on each of the great toes, from which it is calculated the man must have lost at least half a gallon of blood. He is at present so weak as to be unable, for a short time, to attend to his usual business.—Panama Star. GLASGOW SOCIAL STATISTICS.—The annual report of Dr. Strang, city chamberlain, on the mortality bills of the city of Glasgow, for 1852, states the real figure of mortality in that city in proportion to the living, to be as Ito 34.8. The cost of maintaining the poor in the four parishes of Glasgow, which, in 1848-9, was 105,2661., was only 78,7331. in 1850-I—the return for last year not being complete. The bankrupties connected with Glas gow have decreased by 20, compared with the year 1851. MONSTROSITY.—On Monday week, a child was born in Perth with two heads. Each head was attached by the back parts, the countenances looking in opposite directions ; but that presenting itself from the back part of the body had no eyes or mouth. Slight purple or pinkish coloured seams only indicated that these organs were there. The other head was perfect. The child lived till Thursday evening, and was buried on Friday.— Perth Courier. AMERICAN RAILWAYS.—It is estimated that the in creased earnings of railways in the United States during the past year average 15 per cent. over the receipts of the preceding year. The new works have been carried on with great activity, owing to the abundance of money during the year. There are now 13,315 miles of railway in operation in the United States, and 12,029 in course of construction, making together 25,344 miles. The number of miles in operation on the Ist of January, 1852, was 10,814, and in course of construction 10,878 miles, together 21.692 miles, showing that the aggregate length of new railways opened during the year 1852 was 2,501 miles, and the increase in the length of railways in course of construc tion was 1,241 miles, making together 3,742 miles. The length of railways in operation on the Ist of January, 1848, was 5,565 miles ; and on the Ist of January, 1853, 13,315 miles, showing an increase in the mileage at the latter period of 7,750 miles, or at the rate of 1,550 miles per annum, The aggregate length of railways in operation in the United States is about double that of the United Kingdom. The cost of the former is about 6,000/. per mile, while that of the latter is 34,000/. The 13,315 m il es o f railway in operation in the United States cost about 79,890,0001., while the 7,337 miles in Great Britain and Ireland cost 248,100,000/. The net earnings from traffic on the United States lines average above 7 per cent. per annum on the outlay, while those of the United Kingdom for the past year averaged about al per cent. HUNTING NOw-A-DAYS.—Railways have revolution ised fox-hunting as well as other things. Who ever thought of London becoming the head-quarters of the chase, and of country quarters being merely supplemen tary ones ? Yet so it is ; and great runs are known in Pall-Mall and St. James's-street almost as soon as they are in the counties where they take place. Cockney sports men are become extinct, and we have Quormtes, and Pytchleyites, and Atherstoneites instead. Convenient as this ddubtless is to those whose avocations -lliftein town, we doubt its beneficial influence on hunting. It draws sportsmen into too small a compass, pours all sorts of irresponsible parties upon hunts within the influence of direct railways, any one of whom can mar the sport or enjoyment of a whole field. And if we look who it is that generally do mischief, we shall find in nine cases out of ten, it is some aspiring stranger seeking to "beat" the men of the hunt, or some horse-dealing rough-rider wanting to show off his horse to what he thinks advantage. These are the men who will never pull up. If the great Mr. Meynell could arise from his grave and see the fly ing train hissing past his quiet residence at Quorn, or disgorging its motley contents at the Barrow or Syston station, hpw he would hug himself that he lived in days when men came out to see a pack of hounds hunt a fox, and not to " cut each other down, and hang 'em up to dry," as the saying is. AN ACT WORTHY OF IMITATION.—The Earl Manvers has just made a return to his tenants at Fledborough, who have all suffered so severely from the late floods, of the whole of the half year's rent which was paid by them at his late audit in December. This was done with out any solicitation whatever on their part, and has been received in the most grateful manner : it fully proves the generosity and benevolence of this excellent nobleman. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—An accident of a frightful nature occurred to a young man named William Morris, em ployed at B riton Ferry Ironworks, on Tuesday evening last. It appeared that he wished to try his hand at the rolls, and tha t thi att em pti ng t o d o so hi s arm was drawn between hem, and literally rolled and burnt from his body near the shoulder joint.

[ADVERTISEMENT.} --Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, &c.—Dr. Denis Cronin has removed from Leicester-pla ce to 35, Bruton-street, Berkeley-square, where he may be consulted, as usual, from ten till two, on his treatment ofaffections of the kidneys, bladder, and prostrate gland, in their connection with diseases of the stomach and liver.

GUILDHALL.— Thomas Taylor, a young man, de scribing himself as a printer, lately in the employ of Mr. Peel, of the New-cut, Lambeth, was charged with being concerned with a man named Stewart, now in custody, in committing a burglary on the premises of Mr. Wil kinson, of 89, Watling-street, on which occasion silk goods to the value of nearly 2001. were stolen from the warehouse. It appeared from the evidence by Sergeant Sheppard, Ratcliffe, and Bleach, officers of the City Police force, that from information received by them they went to No. 10, Bell's-buildings, Salisbury-square, Fleet-street, where they saw the prisoner. This was on Saturday evening, and Ratcliffe asked prisoner if he knew any one of the name of Stewart, upon which prisoner said he did not, but would make inquiry for Ratcliffe if he would call again. Accordingly Ratcliffe called again yesterday morning and found the prisoner had decamped from his lodgings, leaving a letter ad dressed to Ratcliffe, in the name of Smith, the name he gave the prisoner on first calling. The following is a copy of the letter :—" 10, Bell's-buildings.—Dear sir, — Having been called away upon urgent business, I hum bly beg that you will excuse me disappointing you ; but I have made every inquiry about the man of the name of Stuart. and I am very sorry that I cannot give you any information respecting the person, but those parties that gave you my address are the most likely persons to give you that information which you require.—l remain yours, &c., THOS. TAYLOR."—Sergeant Sheppard, Rat cliffe, and Bleach, then proceeded to No. 3, Britannia court, Whitefriars, where they found the prisoner at breakfast, and, in the same room, a carpet bag, very similar to the one that was found in Mr. Wilkinson s passage, with handkerchiefs packed up ready to take away. The prisoner said he had left a letter for Ratcliffe at his lodgings, and Seteant Sheppard then told him he was charged with being concerned in a burglary, and directed Bleach to take him into custody. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery. Alonzo Lestrange identified the prisoner as having been at the warehouse of Mr. Wilkinson only a few days before the robbery. Mr. Wilkinson also recognised the prisoner as having applied to him'three or four days prior to the robbery. He said he wanted a few dozens of handkerchiefs, which was not a trade term, such goods being sold in pieces, and not in dozens. He said he was going to Australia, and wished to take out a few dozens to sell. Mr. Wil kinson told him that he generally sold wholesale ; upon which the prisoner represented he had been recommended to apply to him, whereupon Mr. Wilkinson said lie would find him a little lot cheap, and then showed him 20 pieces of Indian torahs, which he offered to l e t p r i soner have for 171. 10s. H e , however, went away, promising to eall again in half-an-hour ; but Mr. Wilkinson saw no more of him, and when the subsequent robbery took place those identical 20 pieces were taken away, with other silk goods. In cross-examination, Mr. -Wilkinson said he was a silk printer, and only printed to order, and it was there fore a very unusual thing for persons emigrating to apply to him for small quantities of goods, although it was very general with retail houses. Sir Peter Laurie said he should remand the prisoner, to be brought up again with the man already in custody on the same charge. THAMES.—Captain Ridley Wilson, aged 35, the master of the collier brig Fifteen, was charged with sinking the schooner Essex Lass, at sea, on or about Christmas, 1850. tcLi yearsoral?.n rad TheDoaanolngac command, :e t fbpr relating ih oe ne s ega e ns tt ut boring oin io tgh i n of a Captain aelows eansykc sinking in ot nhdgel tio nisifhewaipeas importance ashobifhpi vnthwgoi in iceothdkh the hpaa elnta he p Eaea a udxf r of geot theucr utry n The captain in this ease is alleged to have sunk his ship in a similar manner. The prosecutors were Messrs. Barnes and Neck, of Colchester, the underwriters of the Essex Lass.' William Cudinore said—l was a seaman on board the Essex Lass, which left Colchester about two yeas ago. I think it was two years last Christmas. We loaded at Amsterdam for the Mediterranean. I recollect when we were on our return voyage from the Morea, I was stand ing at the helm, steering th e vesse l, about half-past eight o'clock, the ship being then off Faro, on the Por tuguese coast, when I saw the captain, who is now a prisoner, go to a locker, and open a tool-chest, from which he took an augur, and commenced boring with it. I saw the captain bore three holes underneath his bed cabin, in the ship's side, in the cabin, and below the water-line. The water ran in through the holes between the skirt and lining of the vessel into the hold. At twelve o'clock the watch was called, and I told all hands forward what the captain had done, and they said " Non sense." I replied, "You will see that I am quite right." At four o'clock the watch was called, and pumps sounded. There was five feet water in the hold, and one of the men said, That's true, Bill, what you said." We worked at the pumps from four till twelve, but the water continued to gain on us, and the captain said it was a bad job. We saw the water getting higher and higher by the rod. At daylight the next morning we got the boats out by the captain's order. The ves sel appeared to be filling. The captain got into the dingy alongside the ship, with an adze in his hand, and cut the larboard port out, and then ordered the ship to be turned astern and cut away the starboard port. The dingey was then afloat. After the ports were cut out all hands took to the boats and pulled away for Faro. The vessel went down about ten minutes after we left her. In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the witness said the ports were about ten inches out of the water when the captain began to cut them away, and thevessel filled rapidly after that and began sinking—indeed, she sunk almost immediately afterwards. Ali hands got safe to Faro. Mr. Yardley—How did you see what was going on below I Witness—l was standing at the helm. The cabin was right under me. I looked through the skylight. I could see everything that passed. The cabin floor was below the water line. The first time he communicated any thing about the sinking of the ship was a fortnight ago last Saturday. Upon this evidence the case was remanded. LYCEUM THEATRE. --,..-_ Complaints without end are pouring in upon the daily papers of the treatment which visitors to the Lyceum Theatre experience at the hands of the hoxkeepers. The following, for instance, appears in the Times of this morning :—On Wednesday evenino. I visited the Lyceum Theatre, accompanied by a friend, ' our wives, and a female friend. We had previously arranged to go to the boxes. Wishing to obtain a seat where we might see and hear the performance, I made it a condition that we should be at the theatre at the opening. The con dition was fulfilled, we are among the first to claim the services of the janitor of the silver key; he eyes us from top to toe ; we are approved. With a sharp click the door opens, and with a benignant smile he directs us to seat the three ladies in the front, and to take our places behind them, then politely offers me " a bill of the play." I deposit a small silver coin in his "itching palm ;" a cloud now passes over that before smiling face, and he announces that he cannot take so small a sum—he never does. He is requested to return it, and does so. The scene changes ; lying made easy to the plainest capacity is now practised. He tells five people that they have all made a mistake, and refuses the seats he before proferred, telling us that the whole of the front row is taken. My friend now hands the ladies to the front seat, and we seat ourselves behind them. An al tercation ensues. A second official is brought forward ; my adamantine friend is immovable. A third official appears, a very civil one too, with a paper covered with cabalistic characters, proving to demonstration that the places were taken before the theatre was built. Who can rebut suck evidence ? How did it end? I'll tell you, sir. am a married man. I love peace and quiet ness, .and persuaded my friend "to move on" to the next box. It was but a doubtful victory after all ;we all took front seats in the next box. During the battle some un expected allies came to our assistance. A gentleman and lady in the adjoining box had experienced a like annoyance, and with a burst of honest indignation the gentleman declared he would not remove from the posi tion he held. Nor did he. It certainly is high time that these disgraceful abuses were put a stop to, but the public have the remedy in their own hands, and until they apply it such complaints will continue to be made in vain. SOUTH AFRICA-THE BIRD ISLAND LIGHTS. Official notice has been received from the Cape of Good of Hope, that lights have been established in Algoa Bay, on the easternmost of the Bird Island, off Woody Point. The tower, which is rectangular, and painted with black and white horizontal stripes, is 45 feet high, and carries two fixed lights, 18 feet apart ; the upper one being 70 feet above high water, and 10 feet higher than the other. _ _ In the direction of the Doddington Rock, the lights will appear in a vertical line, one above the other. The following are Commander Fishbourne's sailing directions : The Bird Islands lie in the eastern extremity of Algoa Bay, off Woody Cape, which, as its name imports, is covered with wood, except a small patch of sand at its summit, and is the only sea board land that is so, which gives it in contrast with that for miles on either side, a dark appearance ; the land on its west side, from near St. Croix up, rises into numerous small sandy hillocks, quite bare of vegetation, and that to the eastward, up to Padrone Point, is similarly naked. Woody .Cape is high and rugged, but not so promi nent as to appear like a cape, except when very near it ; not so Padrone Point, which runs out into a low point of sand, forming a determinable cape, from which the breakers run out some distance, and the water breaks still further out, at tithes, owing to the meeting of cur rents after strong winds. These islands afford tolerably sheltered anchorage be hind them in winds from W. to S.S.E., in 13 fathoms, and rather better than half a mile from the northermost breakers. Closer in would afford more shelter, but the ground is foul. They are very low and proportionally dangerous, and though the main land will generally be seen before them, and their distance may thereby be bet ter estimated by it, yet in shaping- a course to go outside of them, allowance should be made for the eddy or re turn current, which sets in towards them, and then to the eastward. The Doddington Rock and. West Reef should be con sidered as part of the Bird Islands Shoal, and no vessel should go between them; for in bad weather the breakers extend the whole way. In clear weather the Rugged and Cockscomb mountains may be seen from abreast of these Islands ; but in paising outside the Doddington, the Cockscomb should be'kept open to the westward of the Rugged Monntain, bearing N.W., and the ship should steer N.W. by W. having passed the Dod dington, the high land at the back of Port Elizabeth will soon appear right a-head. THE BAHAMAS.-REVO - LVING LIGHT ON TURA'S ISLAND. Notice is hereby given,.that, on the 9th of October last, a revolving light was established on the northern extremity of Grand Turk Island,• iii 21 deg. 31 min. 0 sec. N., and 71 deg. 7 min . . 4Q sec. W;, of Greenwich. The tower is constructed or`lion, and painted white ; its height being 60 feet, and its base 52 feet above high water. The light has an elevation of 108 feet. The light revolves every half minute, and at each re volution flares up into a brilliant flask, which may be easily seen from the deck of a moderate sized vessel, in clear weather, at the distance of 16 miles. The mariner should, however, be aware that, when approaching the light from the southward, it will be eclipsed by the southern part of the island on which it stands, between the bearings of N. 4- W., and N. E. by Salt Cay between N. by E. and N. by E. 4 E.; and by the eastern group of Cays between N. by W. W., and N. by W. W. With the light bearing south, it may be approached within two miles ; but vessels running for the Turk's Island's Passage, should make the light on a bearing to the westward of south ; and it should not b e f orgotten that, from the limited dstance at which it can be seen, it will not protect them from Philip's Reef and the dangers off East Caicos. They must also remember that the reef projects three miles from the north point of Turk's Island, and continuing along its whole eastern side. JUDICIAL, CRIMINAL, AND FINANCIAL STATISTICS OF GREECE.—From a return just made of the judicial pro ceedings in Greece, in 1850 and 1851, it appears that, during the year 1850, 574 ca uses were brought before ' the Court of Cassation, of which 272 were decided, 20 struck off the list, and 280 rema i ned pending. Inthe Criminal Court, out of 110 causes brought forward, 99 were decided on, and 11 still wait the decrees of the court. 2,393 civil causes were placed on the list of the Tribunal of Appeal of Athens, of which 1,015 were de cided on, and 1,000 dismissed. Before the Tribunal of First Instance, during the same period, 2,209 causes were brought forward, of which 1,368 were heard and decided. The Court of .Assizes of Athens gave judg ment in 110 cases out of 128 brought before it. Before the Courts of Nauplia, Tripolitza, and Patras, 137 cases were brought forward, of which 125 were decided on. Out of 114 prisoners.tried, 35 were sentenced to death, 8 to hard labour for life, 25 to hard labour for different periods, 30 to solitary confinement, and 15 to simple imprisonment. The budget of receipts and expenditure of Greece for the year 1853 has also been just published. The receipts for the present are fixed at 17,701,964 drachmas (the Greek drachmas is 90c.), and the expenses at 16,572,608 drachmas. Among the expenses figure the indemnity of the archbishops and bishops ; the in demnity of 200,000 drachmas allowed to the islands, and a grant proportioned to the increase of 1,300 men in the effective strefigth of the Greek army. In s p i t e o f this increase of charges, the budget of 1853 is less by 380,000 drachmas than that of 1852. The budget of 1852 shows a deficit of about 4,000,000 of drachmas, every branch of the Greek revenue having fallen off during that year. The export of oil was reduced from 500,000 drachmas to 230,000 ; that of oranges and lemons from 300,000 drachmas to only 23,000. The cocoons equally suf fered. • 4 2 . r; C 5 A 4 -- - - Colchester 85 39 211 27 Harwich 100 Leigh Maldon 1046 208; 462 8 0 33 590 KIRKCALDY— JAN. 15.

You MUST GO FROM HOME TO LEARN TU E NEWS. — The Paris Univers, which, although it calls itself, and is recognised as an organ of the clergy, occasionally plunges rather deeply into mandane matters, and, even in religi ons affairs, represents the Church belligerent rather than those simple professors of the Christian creed, who preach peace and forbearance, has a long article on the state of things in the east, in which it attributes aggres sive intentions to Protestant England, and endeavours to excite distrust and suspicion in the minds of the people of France, and those of Catholic populations generally. The Univers has discovered that whilst the English are pretending to dread invasion, and to be arming for self defence, they are in reality preparing to take possession of Egypt, and blinding the French Government to their designs by affecting terror for themselves, and making the French believe that they think of nothing but the deans of rendering themselves secure against aggression.
