MANCHESTER, Oct. 25.—A still advancing corn market, and a consequent increase in the stringency of the money market are operating unfavourably upon business in our staples. As compared with this day week, there has been less disposition to-day to operate among buyers in general, and the transactions have been a good deal cur t Ailed. A telegraphic notice of the overland mail, stat ing that an active demand for our products existed in Calcutta, has indeed occasioned a little inquiry for yarns and goods adapted to the quarter ; but we do not hear of any purchases of moment having been made. All classes of buyers are acting with great caution, and keeping their engagements within narrow limits. What the effect upon prices would be, if we had a full produc tion, is very evident. The actual and proximate sus pensions of production, however, together with the fact that, in spite of this, cotton remains firm, do certainly maintain a general steadiness, to a large extent great stiffness, of value in goods at large, and in the medium and lower counts of water and mule yarns. Medium counts of warps and cops are in some degree affected by the diminishing demand. In reference to the stoppage, we have to correct a mistake accidentally made in our last report. We said the mills at Burnley were closed ; the 28th (Friday next), is the last day for running, though some will cease a day or two earlier. The meeting of masters, held a few days ago, was ad journed to November 19th, so no resumption can take place for a month. It is stated that 18,000 workpeople will then be idle. At Bacup, all but three or four concerns are at a stand, and these will shut up in the course of the week ; the number of mills is said to be 40, and of hands 10,000 or 12,000. The turn-out at Preston, and also at Wigan, continues without any sign of an approaching end. On Wednesday next, a general meeting of the " Manchester and Salford master spin ners' and manufacturers' association" is to be held in the offices of the association, "to take into considera tion the propriety of adopting a uniform list of wages for spinning and weaving, and of agreeing to act upon the same at an early day." in accordance with the recom mendation of the committee appointed to consider the subject. HALIFAX, Oct. 22.—Very few buyers have visited our piece hall to-day, and scarcely any goods, either plain or fancy, have changed hands. In the yarn market there is a less confident tone, and for some sorts rather lower prices hrve been taken. The same may be said of wool, which sells slowly, at somewhat easier rates. HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 25.—We have had a repetition of the same activity in business to-day as during the last few weeks. There seems to be no disposition on the part of the merchants to make purchases to any amount, unless the manufacturers consent to a reduction in prices, which they do not seem inclined to do. until the result of the wool sales, which are now being held in London, shall be more fully known. The stocks in the hands of the manufacturers are low, many of them having been working for some months past upon orders, some of which are not yet completed. They are, therefore, unwilling to submit to any reduction in prices likely to tEmpt the merchant. During the past week and to-day wool has been offered en easier terms ; but the manu facturers, under present circumstances, are not disposed to buy only from " hand to mouth." Several uncom pleted orders for woollen cloths have been countermand ed to-day. A dull trade is anticipated, unless some cause as yet unforeseen again sets the wheel of commerce in motion. THE EASTERN QUESTION. ( Prom the Morning Post.) Intelligence of the most recent date from St. Petersburg informs us that the Czar still makes professions, is still apt for negotiation, still seeks to gain time. The positive sincerity of the Emperor of Russia can only be shown by positive retreat. Less than this is deception. But the Western Powers are no longer to be deceived, nor will they again seek Russia with propositions for arrangement. It is now for Russia to propose and to negotiate ; but her propositions and negotiations will not be enter tained, save on one imperative basis—her imme diate withdrawal of her troops and her pretensions. It is natural for Russia to seek time. She needs it. Her army in the Danubian Principalities amounts, we confidently state, to but fifty thou sand men, of whom a vast proportion are ill—the rest half-starved. She cannot reinforce Prince Gortschakoff. The roads, rivers, and marshes are impassable in many parts of the country. She wishes, therefore, to juggle Turkey and amuse the Western Powers till the spring, by which time the Turkish treasury will certainly not be richer, and the highlanders and volunteers, who at pre sent add much strength to the Sultan's forces, will have probably been disbanded. The wish of Russia will not be complied with. Ber necessities will not be consulted. We are enabled to state that it was the intention of Omer Pacha upon the termination of the delay he had allowed, to cross the Danube and attack the Russians. His army doubles theirs, and is fresh, well fed, and animated by the strongest feel ings of patriotism. Under these circumstances, it is expected. that he will inflict on the Russians the defeat the deserve. The next intelligence from the banks of the Danube will, therefore, be of sur prising interest. The Emperor of Russia, up to the latest, pro fesses his intention to remain on the defensive. This is absurd. Omer Pacha, in crossing the Danube, does not act on the offensive. The Czar, when he crossed the Pruth, assumed the offensive, and has maintained it ever since. The combined fleets of England and France were to anchor before Constantinople on the 20th of October. They are at the disposition of our ally, and will proceed to such active operations as may be deemed necessary. The strength of Turkey, supported by England and France, must prevail against Russia. How long will the Czar combat with superior force ? The endeavour to undermine right, to overthrow justice, has been long, but hitherto fruitless. The struggle becomes now one of material and physical Power. Wisdom dictates to Russia retreat. If she listen to the voice of obstinate folly, she will but trouble Europe, and ensure her own ruin. Not only is absolute right on the side of Turkey and her Allies, when they repel piratical invasion and unjustifiable violation of the most sacred in ternational bonds, but their forbearance has been of the most temperate and patient character. It is now exhausted, and we cannot regret the severe consequences that will ensue to Russia. We look, then, with deep interest for the next advices from what is, by this time, the seat of war. We cannot doubt the success of the Turk, backed by the Western Powers, in his struggle for the de fence of the Faith of Treaties, the integrity of his Empire, and the progress of civilisation, against the barbarous inroads of piratical ambition and Northern Despotism. STRAND THEATRE.—The attractions at this house bring n ightly very l arge au di ences. Mi ss Marshall, so excel lent in farces and burlesques, has been re-engaged, so has also Mr. Ranger, a very finished actor of the high school of comedy, whose merits begin now to be fully appre ciated. Mr. Gourlay, one of the best delineators of Scottish character on the stage, made quite a " hit" last night as Jemmy in Polkamania, and Jock Howieson in the Scotch drama of„Oranzond Brig. This was his first a ppearance at the Strand, where he is engaged for the brief period of twelve nights. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Yesterday morning, at a few minutes before three o'clock, the police officer on duty cn Lu dgate-hill, on p a t ro lli ng hi s b ea t , di scovere d smoke iBs uilig from the back part of the extensive range of pre mises bel ong i ng to Messrs.

The "Cambridgeshire day" presented no incident of either novelty or importance. It was marked by its familar and distinguishing characteristics of eager ex citement and business-like proceedings. The weather was propitious, and the attendance of professional turfites and pleasure folk was unusually numerous. In deed, just before the decision of the great event of the day, - the long line of horsemen that stretched from the top stand to beyond the " turn of the lands," presented a scene which no other country than England could parallel. The extraordinary number of 39 competitors mustered at the starting post. With admirable tact Mr. Hibburd marshalled in a line this imposing array of horses behind the post. Two failures only were made, owing to the breaking away of Haco, Littl e D av id , and Winter. Get ting them under perfect command, the starter dropped his flag, and they bounded off in compact order. The race is described above—it was won easily by Little David, who was for some time trained with Haco. the Cesarewitch victor. He was backed by the friends of his trainer only, and the investments on him were not eonsidera,bly heavy ; still his trainer, Mr. Drewitt, of Leatherhead, had placed much confidence in his success from the fact that when both Little David and Haco were under his care, Little David invariably proved the better animal of the two. The Cambridgeshire was what is .5. technically termed a bad betting race. Still the success of an " outsider" has been again in favour of the book makers. The sport was brought to a close with the Feather Plate, a race in which many lads yearly make their first public appearance as jockeys. Among those that made their debut was little Joe Rogers, a son of Sam Rogers, the celebrated jockey ; and a perfect model feather he looked. The boy evinced much promise, and is likely to become as skilful a horseman as his father. The race officials performed their arduous duties with their customary efficiency. Notwithstanding the nume rical strength of the fields, so excellent were the arrange ments that Mr. Manning, the clerk of the scales, got every jockey weighed - without either confusion or delay, and thus enabling punctuality to be kept with wonder ful strictness. Mr. Clarke, the judge, too, delivered his decisions with his usual promptness and unimpeachable accuracy. Nor must a word of commendation be want ing for Martin Starling. whose active exertions to keep the course free from obstruction, were attended with the most successful results. NEWMARKET, TUESDAY NIGHT. No betting. ORDER OF RUNNING— THIS DAT. Ten races are fixed for this day. First race at 1.0. Last race at 4.30. Brsom AUTUMN STEEPLECHASE.—Peter Simple, Miss Mowbray, and Tom Gurney, aro scratched for the Epsom Steeplechase. RATES OF EXCRANUE._Tuesday Evening.—The quo tation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mile discount (according to the last tarifl), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.12; and the foreign exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.00, it follows that gold is about 0.48 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 4244 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.4 k ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.24, it follows that gold is 1.01 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allow ance for charges of transport, the present rate leaves a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. RECOVERY OF 1,8001. BY LONDON DETECTIVES IN AMERICA.—About four months ago Joseph Price ab sconded from the service of his employer, Mr. Jones, a silk merchant, in Raven-row, Spitalfields, taking with him a large sum in gold and notes. The thief contrived to elude every attempt that was made to effect his cap ture ; but a suspicion being entertained that he had gone to America, information was dispatched to the chief of the New York police. The case was placed in the hands of a young officer named Field, who had been om ployed some years before in the detective department at Scotland-yard, and who, in company with another officer, at last succeeded in tracing the fugitive to a place called Geneva, in the state of Albany. By dint of considerable address and some threats, he succeeded in extorting from Price no less than 1,8001. in gold and notes, and a bank book on the Moorfields Bank f or 150/. On his way back to New York his comrade demanded possession of all the money, which Field refused to give up without a proper receipt. A quarrel ensued, which resulted in his giving Field into custody, upon an affidavit, made at the police court, that he (Field) was about leaving the country with the money. Field, however, met with the greatest courtesy from Judge Stewart, who at once ad mitted him to bail on his own recognisances ; and he has since deposited the whole of the recovered money in the hands of Mr. Edwards, the British Consul. THE BREAK-DOWN OF THE DISPATCH MAIL BOAT.— The Governor-General of Jersey has written to Captain Babot, the commander of the mail steamer Dispatch which was nearly lost last week off Jersey, stating that it was reported that the shaft] which broke was in an unsafe state before sailing, and demanding an explana tion. Captain Babot has replied that the accident which occurred was the breaking of the intermediate shaft at two different places, one being under the strap of the eccentric of the starboard engine and the other close to the other eccentric, destroying at the same time both eccentrics ; that after the accident a flaw was discovered in the shaft which had been covered by the eccentric, and could not have been perceptible before, or it would have been discovered by the surveyors of the Admiralty, those of the Board of Trade, and his own engineer. Captain Babot assures his Excellency that if he were aware of any defect in his ship's machinery, he would never put to sea and expose his own life and the liveo of hie monger. and crew to Unger. 20 20 10 St. 20 20 50 20 SEAM MARKETS.-(THIS DAY. 81 28 St. 6i 25 50 20 100 3i 100 100 100 100 1.00 all iOO all 15 218. 1 100 20 118 100-' St. 1100 St. 1 100 St. 1100 ,t. 1100 .5 1 all 64 64 61 all 3il all 5 all 7i 2 61 all 61 all .0 all V all t. 100 5 all it. 1100 ft. 100 LO I 10 61 all It. 100 't. 100 L 6 6 100 P. 100 It. 100 i 0 all 24 all 5 all [0 I all 6 3 1.2 all 12 8i it. 100 it. 100 L6i 5 LO 6 it. 100 it. 100 it. 100 it. 100 0 all It. 100 L 5 l5 8 all .0 all 10 10 25 all 10 11 .0.6 all It. 100 . ) ,0 all 5 3 >t. 100 7I 5 5 10 BRITISH RAILWAYS.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was on offer in to-day's market. For all kinds, the demand was by no means active, but no change took place in the quota tions. Foreign wheat, the imports of which have amounted to 7,680 quarters moved off slowly, at Monday's advance. Floating cargoes were very firm. We had a moderate inquiry for barley, at full cur rencies. Malt sold steadily, on former terms. Wo had a good sale for oats, at extreme quotations. Beans, peas, and flour were firm, and quite as dear of on Monday. ARRIVALS THIS WERR. English .. Irish ....

Our market is very brisk to-day, and prices are on the advance. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. The Commercial Advertiser contains the sub joined monthly summary of news from the Cape Colony : " Since the sailing of the last monthly steamer the aspect of affairs beyond the colonial border has been gradually becoming more clouded and unsatisfactory. The orders understood to have been issued for the with drawal from the colony of four whole regiments, the 74th, the 12th, the 43d, and the 12th Lancers, have re awakened feelings of insecurity among the inhabitants of the eastern districts, while in the northern the arrival of Sir George Clerk, with instructions to prepare for the entire withdrawal of British authority from the Orange River Sovereignty, has excited general dissatisfaction and alarm. " The tribes recently subdued, have not, indeed, ma nifested any directly hostile spirit, but it is known that the chiefs are discontented. About three weeks since, at a meeting which his Excellency held with them, Macomo, on behalf of the other chiefs, declared that the land given them was too small. 'lt was all stones ; they could not till it, and there was no bush for fire wood. They wanted the Amatolas.' This General Cathcart decidedly refused, giving them to understand that their possession of that locality would certainly involve another war, and the Kafirs, it is stated, 'left the meeting not at all satisfied with the result.' These Amatolas, the Gibraltar of Kafirland, are at present held in military occupation by a portion of the troops now about to be removed. "The nature of the arrangements likely to be made in the sovereignty on the withdrawal of British authority have not yet been decided on. A meeting of delegates took place at Bloem Fontein on the sth inst., at which the subject was discussed. The general feeling, how ever, appears to be strongly opposed to any separation, and both from the sovereignty and the colony the pre sent steamer will carry home urgent petitions praying her Majesty's Government to pause and take this im portant matter again into consideration. In the mean time Sir George Clerk appears to have personally given satisfaction to the Sovereignty people by his candour and evident willingness to consult their interests as far as possible in carrying out the object of his instructions. "The Basuto tribes, under Moshesh, who were so roughly handled by General Cathcart at Berea, have not lately been complained of by the Sovereignty settlers, and, generally, it may be stated that all that part of the country is in a state of peace. "The introduction, within the last few years, of large numbers of fine-wooled sheep—for which the natural grasses of that region are pre-eminently suitable—is rapidly diffusing wealth among the farmers of the Sovereignty, and, at the same time, renders them less liable to depredations at the hands of their uncivilised neighbours, sheep being much less con venient for lifting' than cattle, and little esteemed RS property by the natives. In the course of years there can be no doubt that the Orange River Sovereignty will be filled with a rich and prosperous community, perfectly capable of managing their own internal affairs, and likely to be prepared to do so in a manner reciprocally advantageous to themselves and to the eolony. But at this particular time a sudden change of the kind might prove inconceivably injurious, not only to them, but to the native tribes in their neighbourhood. " In a reply which Sir George Cathcart lately made to an address made to him by the inhabitants of King William's Town in 'British Kafraria,' an intimation was given to them that British authority may also pro bably be withdrawn from that territory ; and upon thi subject, likewise, petitions deprecating such a measure will be sent to the Home Government by this steamer. " The search for gold and for coal in this part of South Africa has hitherto been entirely unsuccessful. For the former, a reward of 1,0001. has been offered by an association formed for the purpose ; and parties, it is understood, are still 'prospecting' in various quar ters. "A disease of a fatal nature has made its appearance among he horned cattle, great numbers of which have died in the adjacent districts, some extensive farmers being likely to lose their entire stock. It is named in our vernacular the` long ziekte,' and is said to have been introduced by imported cattle from Holland. " His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor has been so seriously indisposed as to be unable either to preside at the recent meeting of Council, or to take part, as was intended, in the ceremonial of •pening Daia'e•para.".

CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES.—In reference to the error by telegraph yesterday, Mr. Wright states :--" A wrong number was designedly put up before the race was finished, purposely to mislead." SPORTING NOTES. THE GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY OF THE TURF. The race for the CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES resulted in another surprise : the favourites were defeated, and the most seemingly accurate calculations were upset. The winner, Little David, was almost as lightly thought of, and certainly as equally underrated, as his sometime stable companion, Haco. By the sporting press he was scarcely mentioned ; in the columns of The Sun only was his chance recommended to notice, and his pretensions spoken of with due favour. In my "Notes" of the 15th inst. I referred to him as being amongst the most note worthy names in the list of acceptances, when 100 to 1 might have been with little difficulty obtained about him ; and no later than Monday last—the very eve of the race—l observed " that strange hints are dropped respecting Little David, who, it is said, could at one time, when they were trained together, run over Haco." On the strength of this information I selected him for my cockboat. To furnish the actual winner I selected Haco and Nabob. My cockboat, however, was safely steered into the haven of success, and Nabob was second, I may therefore congratulate myself on naming absolutely the first and second horses out of a field of thirty-nine competitors ! Haco was outpaced, but Orestes, of whom I also spoke favourably, was fourth. A most characteristic and accurate description of the race was given me by Little David's tiny jockey, Ford ham, who said, " After the first twenty yards I went away, and they couldn't cotch, me." Indeed, from start to finish, the success of Little David was never once jeopardised, for the competitors had scarcely settled into their places when he rushed to the front, and maintained a clear and increasing lead to the end ; indeed, the fur ther he went the further he could have won. As an outsider he was within the last fouror fivedays backed some what spiritedly by persons who placed faith in the con fident assertions of Drewett, his trainer, that "he always could beat Haco, and would again." Still, to book-makers generally the result of the race was fa vourable ; but to " gentlemen turfites" it was a heavy blow and sore discouragement. The latter class of specu lators were "on " Orestes, Nabob, Seahorse, Rataplan, and certain others, somewhat heavily. The pecuniary tight ness of the market is not therefore likely to be relaxed. The settlement of " provincial" and minor accounts will commence to-morrow (Wednesday), when doubts as to its satisfactory progress will be either resolved or dispelled. The events appointed for decision on Thursday admit of brief comment only ; at present they excite little in terest. The GLASGOW STAKES will perhaps occasion an exciting encounter between Boer and Champagne ; the latter may be capable of achieving the victory. The 50 sovs. Sweepstakes will, I anticipate, be placed to the credit side of Lord Exeter. Of the sixty-eight horses handicapped for the NURSERY STAKES, eighteen only have accepted. The race will not, therefore, be divided into classes. The acceptances were not declared until half-past ten o'clock to-night, and at the time I write speculation had scarcely com menced on them. As I pen my notes in the room, I am surrounded by eager bookmakers, who are offering 6 to 1 on the field, but in fact the only bets booked have been 8 to 1 against Punch Box, and 8 to 1 against Brides maid. The horses which appear to me to be leniently han dicapped are Boddicot, Duchess of Lorraine colt, Brides maid, Grimalkin, Punch Box, and Lady Napier. A FRESH MAN. Newmarket, Tuesday night, 12 o'clock. P.S.—I have just heard that a New Nursery Stakes is likely to be got up for Saturday. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. BETTING-ROOM, MONDAY NlGHT.—Turfites from all parts of the kingdom thronged the room until midnight, but a very large majority consisted of bookmakers, great and little. Backers of horses were so scarce that speculation dragged its slow length along most lan guidly. To the best of our recollection the betting on the Cambridgeshire was never so limited, unsettled, and uninteresting. The quotations at the close tallied, for the most part, with the list of prices made up to the time of dispatching our parcel in the afternoon. The only changes of importance were the advance of Rata plan to 12 to 1, and the retrogression of Mistletoe to 20 to 1, laid to ] 001. In the course of his upward progress from 25 to 1, Rataplan was backed for a good deal of money.

A very numerous meeting of the friends and sup porters of this society was held in the Egyptian-hall, at the Mansion•house, yesterday, to celebrate the jubilee year of the institution, the society having been founded in March, 1804. The more especial object of the meet ing was to raise a fund to be appropriated to the fur therance of the following objects :-1. The adoption, as far as practicable, of an extensive and efficient system of colportage throughout Great Britain in the year of jubilee ; the supply of emigrants, together with special grants of Bibles and Testaments to prisons, schools, missions, and other charitable and benevolent institu tions in this country. 2. Special grants to Ireland, in such ways as may hereafter be determined upon. 3. Special efforts in India, Australia, and other British co lonies, by agencies, grants, or otherwise. 4. Special grants to China, and such other parts of the world as may appear open to special operations. 5. The estab lishment of a special and separate fund, from the annual produce of which pecuniary aid may be granted, at the discretion of the committee, to persons in the employ of the society, including the colporteurs abroad ; and to their widows and children, when in circumstances to require such aid. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR presided. He stated in the course of his address, that there were in connexion with the parent society no less than 3,819 branch societies in Great Britain and the colonies ; in Ireland, 503 ; and abroad, 4,000 ; making a total of 8,322. When the society was first established there were about 50 translations of the Bible ; now, by means of this society, the Bible had been translated into 150 languages. The circulation of the Bible by means of this society, and of other societies in connexion with it, was not less than 45,000,000, and it was not too much to say that by the same agency the records of inspired truth had been rendered accessible to about 600,000,000 of the human family. (Cheers.) He could not sit down without alluding to China. Every ono was rejoic ing that China was at last open to the world. But for what did people rejoice? Because it would save them 6d. in the pound on their tea. But if men of this world,t_ because of the increase of their traffic, rejoiced at e opening of China, what, he would ask, ought e feel ings of Christian men to be when they cont great work to be achieved among so many millions had been human race, amid whom the seeds of civilisa ti on sc iences had oTpltahteol the sown for ages, and by whom the arts a been cultured ages before the inhabitants n o o t f s w the e s r e e i c sl a a i r c i u d - s had emerged from barbarism ? These facts lated to encourage the society to p erse vere in their _t it a noble proposal efforts to introduce Christianity,ol gil pur e and undefiled, into China ; and he therefore th of the committee of the socieyt h languageatl,ooo,o should oOc opi es be the New Testament in the C hi neset printed without delay. Ile held in his hand a copy o f the work, and which could be obtained for 4 d. He thought the city of London ought to provide these 1,000,0-00 ldnot be said that th ey were not Testaments. It wealthy enough. (u , ) Mr. Brown, secretary, here presented the Lord Mayor with a copy of a Bible, in commemoration of his lord ship having presided on so interesting an o ccas i on in t h e history of the society. The meeting was then addressed by the Earl of Shaftes bury, the Hon. and Rev. Canon Villiers, the Rev. Dr. Tidman, Mr. Samuel Gurney, and others, in support of resolutions pledging the meeting to carry out the objects of the society, and more especially those for which the jubilee fund was intended to be raised. A vote of thanks to the Right lion. the Lord Mayor terminated the pro ceedings of the meeting. ------- - SIERRA LEONE.-4 letter dated Sierra Leone, Sept. 22, received by the Calcutta, says :—" The Governor has ' paid his footing ;' he was attacked with country fever on the 23d of August, and got over it on the 4th of September, having had it severely. He has, how ever, had a rapid and complete recovery. The Queen's Advocate is dead. A paid magistrate is dismissed. The Colonial•office is likely to be removed. Sierra Leone is quite healthy the rains are all oyer." Do.. Do.. BANKS. :Oils 55 -- : 6 - 1 ii --- i'd 33 -- 35 iii 1- - 15i THE LOSS OF THE DALHOUSIE. It has now been ascertained that more persons were on board than was at first stated. In addition to the ship's crew, there were four others, of whom one was a young gentleman, from Calcutta, respectably connected, who had accompanied Captain Butterworth to England on his last voyage from India for the purpose of going through one of the Universities and preparing for the church as a missionary. The next was Mr. T. R. Thomas, a young man under 30 years of age, who only received the appointment of surgeon to the Dalhousie a few days before her sailing. The third was a youth named Ward, a midshipman, and the fourth an assistant sailmaker, whose parents reside in the vicinity of Ro therhithe. Joseph Reed, the only survivor, was so far recovered yesterday as to be enabled to furnish some important details of the catastrophe, in addition to those which were embodied in the protest of the ship's loss. He says, it was the chief mate's watch when he took the wheel at 2 o'clock on the morning she foundered ; but Captain Butterworth was up on the deck the whole night, now and then going into the cabin for short in tervals. At 4 o'clock all hands were on deck, and so continued. He did not see any of the passengers until the vessel lurched over on her beam ends. He remained at the wheel till the water came up to his knees. A few minutes before she went over he remarked to Burley, a fellow seaman, who was by him, that if she had a few more of such lurches she would go over alto gether. At 4 o'clock a.m. he began to suspect that there was a considerable quantity of water in her hold. The last time he heard the captain give orders was when he was among the men directing them to throw the deck load overboard ; this was about 5 o'clock. After the ship went over on her starboard beam ends he saw Captain Butterworth abreast of the maintopmast back stay, and he thought he must have come up the poop ladder. The larboard quarter boat remained, and, with Burley, he endeavoured to get her clear. He had arranged the tackling, and called some Lascars to keep her head up while he got the stern round. In doing so, however, the Lascars got frightened, and let go, when she swamped, and went down between the main and mizen masts. When she was on her beam ends, Capt. Butterworth, seeing that the ship was lost, told them to do the best they could to save their lives, not forgetting the passengers. He pointed to the schooner, apparently bearing down to the wreck, which might save them. The passengers who were dragged through the galley win dow were Mr. and Mrs. Underwood and two children, and the young lady who was taken out of the water and had come out of one of the poop cabins was Mr. Under wood's eldest daughter, a young ladyabout 19 years of age. Just before a fearful sea had swept off Mr. and Mrs. Under wood and the two children he observed them embrace each other in earnest prayer, evidently quite conscious and resigned to their fate. Captain Butterworth was holding on near him, when Miss Underwood, in her night dress, was washed out of the poop, and he ex claimed, pointing to the unfortunate girl, " For God's sake, look here !" She was floating away when he (Reed) caught her up under the arms, and with the aid of Burley he got her out. He should never forget the look she gave him. He had cut a piece of rope to secure himself to a spar (the spare mainyard), but, seeing there was no chance for the girl, he said, " You had better let me lash you to this ; it is your only chance, and you may be picked up ; if you perish, there is some hope of your body being found." She looked up imploringly at him and said, " Yes, do." He immediately lashed her to the spar, and when it was sent adrift from him she ejaculated to Reed, " May God bless you, and spare you to get ashore !" (Reed was moved to tears while reciting this scene.) He ob served the spar going to windward full 10 minutes after the ship had foundered. There were also clinging to it Captain Butterworth, Mr. Finch, second mate ; James Burley, the young assistant sailmaker ; a youth named Simpson (son of Mrs. Simpson, cabin passenger), and three or four Lascars. From the heavy sea which was sweeping over the spar he thought it very improbable that any of them could live many hours. He was unable to form any correct conclusion as to the cause of the ship going over. He did not think that the ship had shifted, and if she had touched a wreck he fancied they must have felt the shock. If a bolt was rusty, a sudden strain might start it ; but he would not say that was the case in this instance. He saw nothing in the ship up to that morning to give the least uneasiness as to her safety ; in fact, he was quite proud of being on board such a vessel, so well had she rode out the gale in the Downs. He believed the Lascars sometimes quarrelled amongst themselves and would get sulky, but he ob served nothing in their conduct to indicate that they in tended mischief. The chock just enabled him to kneel upon it, and with a piece of deal planking he held up a. sort of sail. He adhered to the former statement re garding the conduct of the schooner which bore away from the drowning people. The weather would prevent her lowering a boat, but he added she could easily have come up to windward, and as for only seeing three men in the water, as she had reported to the Cowes pilot, more than thrice that number might have been ob served. Reed's escape altogether is most marvellous ; besides his ordinary clothing he had on a heavy oilskin coat, with a thick Guernsey underneath. Fortunately he is a very expert swimmer, to which circumstance I►e mainly owes his life. Ile, however, has expressed himself in most thankful terms to the captain and crew of the Mitchel Grove, Captain Ranson, who picked him up, and for the great kindness he received on board. A subscription has been opened in the City with the view of alleviating the sufferings of the widows and orphans. HASTINGS.—The body of Mrs. Butterworth, wife of the late commander of the Dalhousie, which, as our readers are aware, was wrecked off Beachy Head last week, was picked up on Monday, by some fishermen belonging to Hastings. The body was discovered floating face dwnwards, about two miles from the shore, and when taken on board the fishing smack, presented a fresh life-like appearance, the cheeks being quite ruddy, like those of a person in the bloom of health. Deceased had on a chemise, marked with the initials " E. 8.," a night-dress, flannel petticoat, stock ings, and lace boots. She had two gold ear-drops fas tened in her cars, and two plain gold finger rings were found in the smack after her removal from it, which were supposed to have fallen or been taken from her fingers. An inquest was held on the body yesterday, i n the Town Hall, before John Phillips, Esq., deputy coroner, when the foregoing facts were elicited. Mr. Joseph Pain, silk-weaver, residing at No. 2, Park terrace, Old Ford-road, London, recognised the deceased as his sister, who, he stated, was the wife of the late Captain Butterworth. He also identified the ear-drops and finger-rings. The jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned." Deceased was 34 years of age, and was a remarkably handsome woman. Several articles belong ing to the unfortunate vessel have been cast upon the beach here, including a trunk, much damaged, a case of spyglasses, quantity of clothing, a mahogany writing Kay," eng raved on it , and a p archment label for a, desk, having a brass lid plate with the name " John " J. R. Thomas, surgeon, ship Dal itirouunskie,:!nscribed, CORPORATION REFORM. Subjoined is the copy of a letter which has been ad dressed to the Lord May or by Mr. Coleridge, the Secre tary to the Royal Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the Corporation of the City of London. It is somewhat remarkable that the letter does not state the date when the commissioners will assemble, while the paragraph with reference to supplying printed copies of the evidence to the persons " more particularly in terested in the proceedings" would seem to indicate that those proceedings are t o b e con d uc t e d i n p r i v ate : " Downing-street, Oct. 22, 1853. "My Lord,—l am directed by the Commissioners for inquiring into the state of the Corporation of the City of London to inform your Lordship that at their first meet ing, which they have held this day, at the official re sidence of the First Lord of the Treasury, they have taken into consideration the course of their future pro ceedings. " As full documentary evidence with regard to the con stitution of the city of London up to a very recent period already exists in an authentic form, the commissioners purpose to commence their investigation with receiving the evidence of persons who may have complaints to make, or alterations to suggest, with respect to the pre sent state and government of the corporation. At a future stage of the inquiry, the commissioners will be prepared to examine the officers of the corporation. " With a view to afford the requisite information as speedily as possible to the persons more particularly in terested in the proceedings of the commission, the com missioners will take steps to communicate to them printed copies of the evidence taken before them from time to time. "I am, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient servant, J. D. COLERIDGE; Secretary. " The Right Hon. the Lord .Mayor." It may be stated that Mr. Coleridge, the secretary, is a son of one of the learned commissioners, an t i 0, rtes phew of another.
