Poutgiband Silver Lead Min. & Smelt Port Philip Quartz Rock lihymney Iron Do. New A quarterly meeting of the proprietors of the East India Company was held yesterday, at the East India House, Mr. Russell Ellice, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that the correspondence rela tive to Ali Moorad and to the Steam Company of Cal cutta had been laid upon the table, in accordance with motions agreed to at a former meeting. Mr. CLARK moved that the correspondence which had passed between the Governor-General and the late Sir Charles Napier, relative to the bad accommodation of the troops in barracks in India, should be laid upon the table. He believed that the directors were in possession of a Memorandum of the Duke of Wellington upon this subject ; if that were so, he would wish that that memo randum should also be produced. The CHAIRMAN said they had on record certain minutes by the Governor-General and by Sir Charles Napier on this subject, and there was also in existence a memorandum drawn up by the Duke of Wellington after he had read those papers, all of which he would have great pleasure in laying before the proprietors. Mr. LEWIN said he had been given to understand that these papers made against Sir Charles Napier ; if that were so he should oppose their production, as he thought they ought not to cast reflections on the memory of a man who had rendered such eminent services. At all events, the whole of the papers ought to be produced. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE did not know what was con tained in these papers, but if they were adverse 'to the memory of a man like Sir Charles Napier, who was so recently dead, their production ought at least to be postponed for a little time. On the motion of Mr. WIGRAM, a director, it was agreed that the whole of the papers should be printed in the regular manner. Mr. LEWIN then moved for the production of all the papers connected with the removal of Mr:Grant and Mr. Lo Geyt from their position, as judges at Bombay. The hon. gentleman was proceedin g to enter into the circum stances of the case, when The CHAIRMAN said he did not wish to interrupt Mr. Lewin, but he might state that it was his intention to give all the papers. Mr. LEWIN said, that being so, he would not press the matter further at present ; at the same time he felt that the subject required full discussion, and he would give notice of a motion on the subject f or next meeting. He suggested that the papers should be printed, which was agreed to. Dr. BEATTIE asked whether it was the intention of the directors to consult the proprietors in any way upon the subject of the new directors who were to be appointed in terms of the new act. 41 i d— Ad a l 11 ... 12xn Pm Pm 14 Santiago de Cuba South Australian 'Fin Croft.. .

After getting her mails transhipped to the Prince Arthur, she bore up under sail, and arrived at Kingstown. While in the harbour she came in contact with the ship Fanny, from this port to Africa, which ran into the harbour for safety, carrying away her stanchions, bulwarks, &c. The Darnley, of Cork, ran ' into the sloop Dahlia, which sunk, as well as the schooner Victoria, which had also been in contact in Kingstown Harbour. The crews of both vessels were saved. The schooner Sligo, of Penzance, laden with china clay and block-tin, drove on shore about nine miles north of Wexford, and remained high on the beach. The crew were saved. A ship reported to be the Agnes, of New York, with cargo and about 150 passengers, was also driven on shore in the South bay, near Wexford, and remained on the rocks. It was ex pected, should the weather moderate, that the cargo would be saved. The Caravanna, Poussoniere, from Santander to Liverpool, went on shore near Black water, and went to pieces in a few minutes, all on board having perished. The schooner Caroline, Pope,' from Cornwall to Liverpool, was taken into Dunmore, Waterford, by the pilot cutter Emma, with loss of mainmast. The Portuguese schooner Porto Nova, from Terceira to Liverpool, ran ashore at Ballycotton, having mistaken the light for that of the Old Head of Kinsale, and went to pieces. The crew were saved. The Chatham, from Liverpool to Savannah, struck on the bar of Drogheda at low water. Her masts were cut away, but at the last accounts she was breaking up very fast. One man and a boy came ashore, but the latter almost immediately afterwards died ; and it is feared that the remainder of the crew have met with a watery grave, from the perilous position in which the ship was placed, and the fury of the gale at the time. The Pollock, hence to Apalachicola, put into Queenstown, with a cargo of coal and salt, with eight of the crew disabled, the mainmast head bowsprit sprung, and main and mizen topmasts, &c., gone. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY. The gale which raged with such fury from Saturday night until Monday afternoon, has, it is feared, done considerable damage to the shipping along the coast. No less than six vessels of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company were yesterday in this port, awaiting a moderation or change of direction in the wind. The Freeman's Journal of this morning says:—" Towards the northern direction, the whole line of coast from below Clontarf to Sutton and Howth was strewed with frag ments of timber, broken spars, casks, &c., indicating the hreakinL , up of seine unfortunate vessel. There being, however, no wreck of any craft perceptible in this imme diate vicinity, the supposition was entertained that the floating fragments observed belonged to the Queen Vic toria steamer, which lies submerged off the Baily Light in deep water. The opinion was rather strengthened by the fact that those remnants of wreck floated up with the current of the tide which runs inshore from Howth upwards. It appears that a dead body floated in and was picked up by some boatmen, and strangely enough, the corpse, as we understand, has been buried without having the usual inquest required by law held upon the remains. Immediately beneath the rocks and adjoining Sutton, near the villa of Mr. J. Egan, a large cask of spirits—brandy, as was supposed from the shape of the cask—was washed up by the waves under the precipice, and was stove in pieces. The pungent odour of the spirits was perceptible in the air all about the hill. A quantity of oranges and fragments of orange boxes, pieces of cork bark, aid myriads of cut corks were picked up by the boatmen on this part of the coast. This would indicate the wreck or total loss of some foreign vessel, inward bound with fruit and wines, &c. The coast-guard at Sutton continue constantly out on relief-boat duty, watching, to be of service to vessels in distress. A fine sloop named the New Milford, of Car narvon, and bound fur that port, which left Dublin on Saturday, was seen off llowth on Sunday morning, with the union jack flying cross downwards, .the well-known signal of distress. Mr. Samuel Stephens, and the crew of the coast-guard put off at once to the relief of the vessel, and after great exertion—pulling against a hAvy sea—succeeded in boarding her, and by the exercise of good seamanship and knowledge of the coast managed to bring her safely into Howth harbour, where she now lies moored. The fishermen in the neighbourhoods of Howth, Skerries, Rush, .and Balbriggan, were some of them out on Friday night and Saturday morning a good distance from the land. On the gale becoming heavy they all bore up for shelter, many boats having to run in for safety to the nearest creek, thankful at having escaped so well." The effects of the storm were also felt in Cork. The Cork Constitution of • y es t er d ay contains the following particulars :—" Ab ou t 5 p.m, on Saturday evening the weather, which had p rev i ous l y b een fair and frosty,sud denly changed into a storm from S.E., which towards night, assumed the character of a violent hurricane. Rain continued pouring in torrents, and the storm con tinued without intermission during the entire of Sunday and yesterday. The communication between Passage and Queenstown was corn pletelyinterrupted, and neither the railway nor river 'steamers could venture to ply. On Saturday evening the hulk at Queenstown, where the river steamers touch, was carried down, caus ed, it is stated, by colli s i on w i th one of the vessels in the bay. The harbour is crowned with shiPPing' vessels havin g ma d e the Cove with great difficulty, after I sustaining dam age i n the gale. The stree ts of slCoartkes Is.. and strewn in vari ous parts with l arge masses of tiles which were blown Some . of the An idea of Dyke trees have sustained fr :r i e n a t t h t e l ar:f g se. • the viol ence o f the gale may be o btained from the fact that on Su n d a y mo borne along by the Blackrock, and Passage Railway ‘ rnin g on e of the carriages of the Cork, ,s d ‘ stance from Passage i hurricane, and driven the entire to Hors e h ea d b e fore it was s topped.

Rearden and his crew. These latter and pilot C A ns hardy fellows n arrowly escaped being sacrificed to their d daring. The vessel having taken the humanity a ground at a bout half-ebb, in the midst of the breakers, not more than 300 yards from shore, the pilot and his cr ew, having embarked the crew of the schooner (nine in number) in the pilot boat, volunteered to remain on board in charge of her, in the hope of being able at the rising of the tido to save the cargo, by running her high on shore. The poor fellows, seven in number, spent the awful night in a fearful position ; they were soon driven to the rigging for safety, as the sea swept her decks clear ; and as she had taken the ground, it seemed miraculous how the masts, to which they clung for life, did not give way. And thus they remained from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. this morning, the vessel threatening to go to pieces every moment, and wholly cut off from possibility of relief. At the rising of the tide she was thrown helplessly further and further in, till at length she reached where she now lies, very high on the strand. But little will remain to provide adequate compensation for those who acted so nobly and endured such peril that dreadful night. Sub-constable John Ryan, at the risk of his own, saved the life of a boy of the Portuguese crew, who fell overboard from the boat which landed them. The sub-constable nobly dashed into the breakers, and had the satisfaction of rescuing the poor youth; after sinking several times. This in itself ought to suggest an answer to those who talk of removing the police from such a locality as Ballycotton. The pilot's crew were only saved by the efforts of the coast guard, who, by holding each other, formed a chain from the shore to the ship, and rescued them one by one. Her cargo is MI destroyed. Her upper works, masts, and rigging are as yet sound, and may be of some value. Her hull is a total wreck and will probably go to pieces with this evening's tide, which a t it s height, with this wind, sweep) clear over the strand into the bog." MINES. JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

Tha United States' mail steam-ship Baltic, which was advertised to leave New York on the I oth inst. with the usual mails from the United States and British North America, was off Holyhead this afternoon at two o'clock. Whether she may reach this port in time for her mails to be despatched suitably for the first deli very in London to-morrow is very doubtful. THE LATE COLONEL MACKESON. (Front the Agra Messenger.) A friend who knew the lamented Colonel Mackeson long and intimately has supplied us with materials for the following brief notice of his brilliant and useful career, so sadly and so prematurely closed, at a moment when the loss of such a man is likely, more than at any former period, to be felt as a national calamity. The sketch is but imperfect, yet it is, we believe, correct so far as it goes. There are others who could do greater justice to the subject—Sir Claude Wade, for instance ; and we have little doubt that the press of England will, in due time, present us with a more complete memoir of the good and gallant officer for whose untimely fate we so deeply grieve. Colonel MaCkeson received his education at a military seminary in France, and thus acquired a perfect acquaint ance with the language of that country. This know ledge led to his association with Sir C. M. Wade, then political agent at Loodi ana . A t the time When f.acke son was there with his regiment, in 1831, the forei gn officers in Runjeet Singh's service fr equent l y visited t he political agent, and his fluency in French was turned t o good account. This, in spite of that modest and retir ing disposition for which he was remarkable to the last, brought the young officer int o no ti ce , an d l ed to his being appointed assistant political agent. Subsequently he was attached to Bahwulpore and Mithunkote, to survey the Sutlej and Indus, and to facilitate their navi gation. For several years he was stationed in that neighbourhood, variously employed, now exercising his talents as an accomplished surveyor, now unravelling the tortuous politics of the Punjab. In 1837, he went with the late Sir Alexander Burnes to Cabul, and in 1838-9 was occupied in forwarding the march of the army of the Indus along the banks of that river. Then he accompanied Sir C. M. Wade with Prince Timoor, and displayed courage and energy of the highest order in the various affairs which occurred on the march to Cabul. From that time till the close of operations in Affghanistan, and the final withdrawal of our forces in 1842-3, Brevet Captain Mackeson con ducted the political relations of our Government at the important post of Pes)lawur. His services there at that period are now matter of history. To himself the result was most honourable. A young unassuming officer, without interest or favour, while yet a subaltern, was promoted to the local rank of Major, to qualify him officially for the honours of the C. 8., never bestowed on one of more noble or more chivalrous character. We find Mackeson next at Sirsa, where he was em ployed till the Sikh invasion of 1845, when his services were made available in the delicate office of Commissioner in the Cis Sutlej states. In this capacity he was politi cally attached to Sir Harry Smith's force, and that General can testify to the soldierly service which he did at Aliwal. The army of the Punjab saw Mackeson again in the field as Governor-General's agent, in which office he won the high approval and respect of Lord Dalhousie and Lord Gough. Then also, when associated in his political capacity with the late Sir Walter Gilbert on the advance to Peshawur, he received the unqualified and handsomely expressed .admiration of that distin guished soldier. At the end of 1851 Captain and Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Mackeson, C. 8., was appointed to the office of Commissioner at Peshawur, a post of honour and of danger, as his untimely fate has proved.. • Thus we see that during an active service of 20 years, embracing the most eventful period i n th e hi s t or y o f British India, Mackeson was ever placed where the high qualities of calm courage and perfect self-possession were essential to that success which invariably attended the discharge of his important duties. Large and strong in mind and frame, all his acts were marked by the coolest intrepidity, a matchless energy, and the soundest, discretion. Wise in cotincil, gallant and devoted in battle, amiable and unpretending in private life, he was beloved by his associates and reverenced as a superior being even by the wild tribes with whom his duties so frequently placed him in contact. DISASTROUS FLOODS IN DEVONSHIRE. EXETER, WEDNESDAY. This neighbourhood has been visited by one of the most disastrous floods ever known in this county, caus ing a fearful loss of property in the district of South Devon, and washing away portions of the Exeter and Crediton Railway, though, fortunately, without being attended with any fatal result. In consequence of a heavy fall of rain, which com menced on Sunday morning, and continued without in termission until midnight on Monday, the waters of the Creody and Yoo, two tributary streams uniting with the river Exe, at Newbridge, rose with frightful rapidity, and laid the Exeter and Crediton railway, in many parts of it, and also the turnpike roads in the neighbourhood of Crediton, completely under water. The first indica tion of damage to the line was ascertained on Monday night, when the 6.35 train, which left the Exeter station for Crediton, arrived at Newton St. Cyres, a station about h a lf- way between this city and Crediton, and itr was then found that the line beyond was totally impas sable. In this emergency the trains attempted to return to Exeter, but when near Newbridge the rails sank, in con sequence of the ballast having been completely washed away for about half a mile ; added to this, the fire in the locomotive was extinguished, and the engine thrown off the line. It was impossible to move forward or g o , backward, and equally fade were the attempts to extricate the passengers from their unpleasant predicament, the land en either side the railway being flooded to the depth of several feet. Mr. Mears, the superintendent of the Exeter station, with other officers of the company, were out the whole night with lights and vehicles, in the hope of being able to afford assistance ; but, in spite of all their efforts, they could not get within three fields of the disabled train. At length, about four o'clock in the morning, after the passengers (fourteen in number) had been in their. uncomfortable position for nine or ten hours, the waters gradually subsided, and horses having been attached to the carriages, they were drawn back to Newton St. Cyres, a distance of about half-a-mile, whence the passengers were sent on to their respective destina tions by another conveyance. The traffic of the line is entirely suspended, and the company are carrying pas sengers in four-horse omnibuses over the old turnpike road. th the T r h a e damage ilm,,a y ca don e b e i s so resumed extensive tued f for at that least foeutrraffic or five ox. days, although the company are doing their es b twe es ro t lili t en o ne, m bh e u e a t the emergency of the case. but nottheT adjacent in e any n iv y er w E a p y c x r e b t portion e i o r n f j d u t o r h e w e d n ß . r i i s s tvery a much A horse belonging to Mr. Carthew, a miller, w as drowned while drawing a waggon on the turnpike road. At Newton Abbot the floods have been much more serious ? and occasioned damage to the extent of several thousand pounds. The water rushed from the mill-leat at Newton Bushell, washing down the bridges, causing a large wall, sixteen feet high, and a portion of a house in Sun-court, to fall down, and submerging the residents. of the locality in nine feet of water, some of them being quite rickexhausted went aken o u t w i th ropes, &c. The trees, hedges were uprooted and washed away, and many small animals were drowned. An immense loss has been experienced by the residents of the town. THE 11°L " BARON OF BE7P.—The baron of beef destined this year to ; race her Majesty's sideboard in Windsor Castl e, on Christmas -day, will be supplied by Mr. Minton, purveyor to the Queen, Peascod-street, Wind sor. Mr. Minton has reserved three prime Scots, 'esti mated to wei g h a b out 100 stone each, fed b y J o h n ucker,, Esq., of East Ram, Essex, in order that the Castle cm rl°,Yes may choose from which the baron is to be taken. '.they are all of unrivalled quality, and either of them would literally furnish " a dainty dish to set before a Queen." The baron will bo roasted to-morrow, and served up cold on Sunday next. FLOGGING IN THE NAVY, PRODUCING APOPLEXY A _ . E P 11;;;;. -- Ili the Medical Times and Gazette, of the 17th instant, are reports, by Dr. Davidson, of the cases of two men who were flogged on board one of her Ma jesty's ships, one of whom was removed from the gratings in a fit of epilepsy, and the other had an apo plectic attack. One was rendered permanently un serviceable. Surely these facts alone are sufficient to put an end to a practice which is a disgrace to our country and our age THE KENT DIGGINGS.—One day last week, as Mr. Delevan, formerly in the coast guard service, was walk ing near Cross-gate, near Mr. Bigg's farm, Minster, Shepey, he saw something glittering on the ground ; he picked it up, and found it to be a nugget of gold at tached to a stone, which he sold for 3 1 .—South &dem Ciagette.
