The vital principle is contained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. Ali diseases arise from the impurity of the blood ; or, in other words, from acrimonious humours lodgel in the body. 5. This humour, which degenerutes the blood, has three sources— the mazernine, the contagious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may, therefore, be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of 20 years has amply proved " lfo rison's Vegetable Universal modicum" to be such proper vegetable purgatives. 9. From the intimate connection subsisting between the mind and body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. Hygelsm—The science of health. • Hygeist—A promoter of health. Hygetan—Pertaininc to the science of health. These terms have not been adopted through an affectation of sin gularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a sufficiently broad line of demarkation between the old and new schools. Read the " Morisoniana." B RITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New road, London. An attempt is now being made by a portion of the medical press to prejudice the cause of Hygeism, in the following specious manner. The public is aware that for many years Hygeists have advocated a rational system of medicine, which assigns the cause of all diseases to an impurity of the blood, and that, therefore, they are curable by proper vegetable purgatives. The success of thi , theory is known to all the world, and the consequence has been that many individuals have availed themselves f such suecess, and brought out pills under al, sorts of names, some of which are mot fraudulent, such as "Old Parr," and also under the names of eminent deceased phi sicians, who it is well known had nothing whatever to do with such pills. Some of the parties implicated have actually forged a wit, purorting to be Old Parr's, in order to impoe upon the public. N.,w, what the mem bers the British C liege of Health wish to bring before the notice of the public is this—that they cannot be responsi de for such nefa rious proceedings. In all callings there will be black sheep, the me dical professionmot excepted. Hygeists, as a body, consist of honest individuals, who believe that the principles they advocate are founded in truth. Their principles are before the world, and upon them they matt stand or fall. They have no connexion with the host of pill mmgers throughout the kingdom, and repudiate their c ishonest pro ceechru,s as much as anybody. Mr. Wakley may find it convenient, for the sale of his " Lancet," to class them together in order to pan der to the taste of a certain portion of the medical body; but Hyge ists trust that the .public has sufficient discernment to draw the proper distinction. Everything connected with Hygeists and the British College of Health has been done openly and honestly, and therefore they do not fear the strictest scrutiny. 'Utley are, in short, the honest dissenters from the present system of medicine, as taught in the schools, and cannot be responsible for the dishonest acts of persons who please to take advantage of a successful theory in order to enrich themselves. Theories in medicine, as in other things, be - long to no individuals. NORTON'S TRULY VALUABLE CAMO MILE PILLS, FOR INDIGESTION, &c. These Pills area pure extract of camomile flowers, prepared by a peculiar p ocess, by which all the medicinal properties of rather more than one ounce of the flowers are concentrated into four moderate. sized pills, They are mild in operation, and have proved wonder fully successful in removing every sympton of indigestion, sick head ache, loss of appetite, giddiness, heartburn, costiveness, eruptions of the skin, and all complaints arising from a d sordered state of the di.est•ve organs ; they require no alteration of diet, and their opera tions will be found so beneficial in givinr tone to the stomach, regu lating the bowels, and in promoting a healthy habit, as fully to con vince all who take them of their great utility. Per. ons who have suffered from indigestion for several years, have. by their use, in a few weeks perfectly recovered, which is a convincing proof that in the smallest compass is contained the largest quantity of the tonic principle of so peculiar a nature as to pervade the whole system, through which it diffuses health and strength. bola in bottles at is. lid., 23.9 d., and Ils. each, in every town in the kingdom. e.A.UPION. —Be sure to ask for " Norton's Pills," and be not per • •aded to purchase an imi• ation. OPENING OF THE PORTS. LORD RUSSELL and Co., it appears, have resalv'd To amend the dilemma in which we're involv'd, And the ports of the realm, which so long have been shut, Will, doubtless, be open'd ithout " if" cr " but." Yon perhaps may suppose, from the way we ct,mmenee, We shall write in a strictly political sense ; But no, worthy reader, E. MOSES and SON In political matters would meddle with none. The ports being open'd to let in the grain Will be treated In rather a different strain. E. MOSES an i SON have their own open ports, For matchless beilliments— dress of all sorts. By MOSES and SON was the first effort made To open the ports in the tailoring trade. They expos'd the high prices which govern'd the day, And threw down the barrier that lay in the way; And quickly Economy's flag was unfurl'd To all in the widely-inhabited world. E. MOSES and SON have created a stir Throughout the vast realm by the good they confer; And none can be found in the kingdom dispos'd For the ports of E. MOSES and SON to be clos'd. LIST OF PRICES.

SOIyrHALL, F EL I . — This morning, according to the ar rangement made on Wedneeelay last, the Coroner and jury re-assembled at the'Red Lion Inn, Southall, to conclude their inquiries as to the deaths of Mary Bishop and Henry Halt, killed by the fall of a fragment from the broken tire of the "up" express engine, evhile passing the four o'clock " down" train, in . which'ihey were passengers, this day week. The proceedings at the inquest were, it will be remembered,-adjourned, t het the jury might be enabled to visit the scene of the cataetrophe by daylight, and that the evidence of scientific men, free from the possible sus picion of bias, might be adduced as to the cause of the accident. After a very careful insnection of the carriage in which the deceased met their deaths—of the fragments from the broken tire of " The Queen's" driving-wheel, and of the condition in which that engine was left by the accident, the fellowing evidence was adduced before the coroner and the jury:— John Fawcett, smith to the Great Western Railway Com pany at Swindon for the last three years, said, that it was his duty to superintend the tasking of, aid to examine all the wheels and tires which had to be made by the company, and to see the latter fastened on the former. His usual mode of examining tires was this :—They were sent to him a little• under the size required, and atter heating them he had them placed on a stretching-block until they were of the size re quired. Such a process might weaken the tire a little, but if the outside skin or the inside of the tire was unsound they were generally able to see it by such means ; and he had strict orders not to put a ti re ea i f he saw the east flea , in it. He did not remember the blocking of the tire which had given way, but, as a general rule, mach greater attention was paid to the tires of driving-wheels than to those of ordinary wheels. When a tire was found to be unsoundly welded, it was generally welded anew. It appeared to him that the broken tire of the Queen was welded before it came to them, by having the two eieds cut off at an angle and brought togetherin the form of'..a V, and then a V-piece welded into the vacant space. Though, when an accident of the kind happened, the wheet wiS generally brought to him to be repaired, he did not alwayeeltiereee . that the givip w . of the tire' wascthe .cruse 'of tire "iect4ent. If an old tiro broke the wheels were condemned, but not so if the tiro was a new one. lie had had no experience in 'the making of tires or wheels before he went to Swindon. It was his opinion that the tire bad broken at the weld—the unsound ness of it having escaped observation at the manufacturer's, and afterwards by him. All the tires sent them were not tested ; for some they received of the proper size, which it would not do to stretch. He could not, therefore, swear positively that it had been tested by " blocking," although he believed it had. He must, however, have examined it when red-hot, and must have seen any flaw had such been visible at that time. James Almond, the engine -driver of the Queen, and who was examined at the previous sitting of the inquest, ex plained a misunderstanding as to his previous evidence, by which it appeared as if he had denied that the Queen had ever previously thrown a tire. ' The Collo:lan—When did she throw a tire then? Wit ness—l think it was about seven or eight months ago. No one was injured by the occurrence, which happened when they were travelling at a ape , d of about sixty unites an hour. On that occasion the tire was thrown from the other driving wheel, and a new one was put on the wheel at Swindon. The tire which has caused the present accident was no doubt examined at that time. The CORONER—Suppose the tire from ore of the carriage wheels was broken, is that on the fellow-wheel taken off in consequence? Witness—That depends on its being worn from long use. When the tire came off the fly-wheel of the Queen before, that on the fellow driving-wheel was so little worn as, to make no difference between it and the ne w ti re by which the broken one was replaced. The Coaoszo—How often have such accidents happened to you lately? Witness—Three times with n the last eight or nine months, and in each case it was the tire of the driv ing-wheel which gave way. Witness did not recollect such an accident having ever occurred with the tire of a carriage wheel. Witness attributed to the same cause, viz., bad welding, the breaking of both the tires on the- driving wheels of the Queen. Mr. B. Cubitt, the engineer, stated that he had had expe rience in the construction of tires and their application to wheels, and that he attributed the breaking of the tire from the driving-wheel of the Queen to an unsound welding. The mode generally adopted in welding a tire was as follows : The two ends of the tire having been cut off at an angle were brought together in the shape of a V, and then a V-piece was welded into this V-space. In Mr. Gooch's plan, as he had described it to him, the V-space was filled with three V-pieces. He considered this much the best mode of effect ing a good weld, and it was the process generally adopted at the Haigh Foundry. The other plan was more in use for tires which were all iron and not steeled. He was now loco motive engineer of the Great Northern Railway, but hid been employed on the Brighton and Dover line. The steeled tires of the latter company were welded in the way which he had described, and he had them from the same place as the Great Western Railway Company. The steel tires of the Brighton line were not riveted on to the wheel as the iron tires were—as it was conceived that the effect would be to weaken the tires, though that could not be the case to any considerable extent. The rivets required to be soft, and when they wore away, the surface of the wheel would be rendered uneven. Not one-tenth of the wheel tires on the Brighton and Dover line were steeled, so that nine-tenths ()- them were riveted. The part of the tire where the fracture took place on Monday last was so defective that it would never have been put on if the fact had been known. The Cowmen—Had the inspector any means of ascer taining that the tire was so defective? Witness—l don't see how he could. for it had been tested by "blocking," an d also by being rolled in hoops. The CORONER—What would you recommend to prevent the recurrence of such accidents? Witness—l only know of one thing, and that I don't think certain in its operation. I mean putting in 1%-inch screw rivets from the inside of the wheel over every 18 inches of the circumference of the tire. I should recommend that the screws pass through to the steel, or as near it as possible This would, at least, prevent the fragments of the tire, when it gave way, flying so far as they have done on this occasion. Mr. J. M'CoNneee, an engineer, lately in the employ of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway Company, but now superintendent of the locomotive department of the London and North-Western Railway, said, that having seen the broken tire from the driving-wheel of the Queen, he had come to the conclusion that it had been badly welded in the first instance. From the section shown by the fracture, he thought that only the pieces cut from the extremity of each arm of the V., and from the point of - its apex, had been united—that the whole had not been properly fusel to gether, owing to an improper mode of working the weld. One large V-piece had been introduced over almost the entire breadth of the tire, and that V not being of the exact form of the V-space, which it ought to have filled, had not united except where it re ceived the blows of the hammer. He had seen tires welded with two V's m ee ti ng i n t h e i r centre. He had also just b een informed by Mr. G ooc h o f t h e plan pursued b y hi m at Swindon, and w hi c h w i t h slight variations he h a d seen practised before. H e cons id ered Mr. Gooch'splan more likely to pr o d uce a so lid weld than any other wh i c h h e knew of. It was quite possibl e th at with ' ordinary care the un soundnessin the broken ti re m i ght have esca ped the eye, particularly when th e outer skin presented a sound appear ance. He had known ti res , in frosty weather, break at other parts than the we ld. I t appeared that the fib re s of the broken tire were changing to crystals. He could not say whether that was the result of the iron being of bad quality , or of some other cause. Different circumstances would pro duce such a change at diff erent periods of t i me . It' the wheel were overbalanced it would be produced very soon. The e fracture did not take place f rom th e i ron b e ing crystallized. On the Bristol and Gloucester li ne stee l t i res were much were but none of them were ever b ro k en at t h e weld. They the same fastened by rivets, and ma n y o f t h em were made at .

Witness -Iwould by introducing a screw from within the wheel you nd I would en sure safety if a fracture of the tire did take place, a recommend the adoption of that plan. I railway Mr. J.

An axle had a greater tendency to crystalize than a wheel, as it was subject to greater alternate t _ action and reaction. Steeled tires were ,in his opinion, orsome purposes stronger than any other, but perhaps they were more subject t o t h e influences of weather. The advantage of them, however, was so great, that it was the duty of every engineer to use all precautions possible in continuing them. Mr. Gooch announced that for the future the screw would be used on the Great Western Railway, and that he had not used it before because he thought it would interfere with the strength of the tire. (Mr Gooch then read to the coroner and jury a long letter which he had received from the Haigh Foundry Company, with respect to the unsound tire made by them, which had caused the accident. The letter stated that the tire could not have teen made according to their orders; that they had endeavoured in vain to discover by whom it was welded ; that the men employed by them on such work were their best hands, the work being of a e very for character ; that being well paid, they excuse for carelessness ; and that, as a security against defectivewelch, they they were required to pay the expense of replacing any that might fail, besides makingesnother tire, if necessary, without pas.) Mr. Gooch then proceeded to explain th e i nstructl ' given by him for effecting a good weld i n tires.

Above this s e ect l i n g of a V-piece is welded in a second section like it in shape, extending beyond its base, fitting into t h e inds of thetire. mid occupying the whole remaining breadth of the tire. The space round the angular endsof the last section is then cut out, and a new piece of welding put in. A piece is also cut out E.

IRISH RELIEF ASSOCIATION. SOUP. The following letter, introduced by a note to the editor, appears in Saunders' News Letter (Dublin paper). It con veys a most favourable view of the working of the system of soup kitchens in Ireland : " Office of Public Works, ,Linuary 22, 1847. " Gentlemen,—l should be most ungrateful indeed, if I allowed longer time to pass without expressing to you and to my kind friend Sir James Dombrain, both on my part and that of the unhappy population surrounding G►andore, in the county of Cork, my cordial thanks for your ready re sponse to our application on behalf of the electoral division of Kilfanaghembeg, in the Union of Skibbereen. " When I left that place last week our soup establishment was in full work; and if I was to name one word which should convey my opinion of the most prompt, the most efficient, and the most practicable means of saving the lives of thousands, that word would be soup; not food, food, food, but soup, soup, soup. "In our village they now distribute 7,000 quarts of soup daily, excellent substantial stuff; poor beef, slink calves, beans, meal, bruised peas, rice, and a littla oatmeal, with a small portion of commissariat biscuit broken up into it. We charge 1 1 ,4c1. a quart, and with a staff under 2s. a day, we find that this can be done at an expense of less than 10s. a day loss. " The labourers going to the roads take a pint in the morning, and a pint on - their return; they are no longer staggering from weakness, their aspect is already improved, and their physical powers amazingly so; the women and children in the village and its neighbourhood also participate in the advantage, and any benevolent persons who wish to give gratuitous relief, purchase ticket, which have, instead of coppers, now become the only relief circulating medium. "I should not omit to mention that the digester is of in finite value in working up the meat and bon es , an d i n b o ili ng the peas. Wherever Igo I endeavour to promote soup esta blishments, and I am happy to say that the Government have now instructed the Commissariat to give their cordial aid in setting them a-going. —l have, &c., "J.

It seems that the matrimony-agent through whom she was introduced to her unfortunate husband, instead of‘shrinking abashed from the notoriety which the ill-assorted union brought upon him, boasts of it to this very hour; and his advertisements are lengthened by his efforts to bring it to the public memory. Moreover, on Tuesday last, there ap peured in all tli = Paris papers an announcement from a rival establishment (that of Madame St. 313 re), :Fetting "urth that she has to dispose of" a young English orphan, heiress to a splendid fortune l" Etz _* l ig FEBRUARY 3 . 1847, at the apex of the welded V-piece first inserted, and a new piece of welding put in. The different stages of this process are all performed at separate heats, and they are so contrived that the facilities for effecting a good weld •are greatly in creased, while the operations being multiplied, the chances are that a sufficlynt number of them will be successful even though others may fail to secure an adequate strength. •• He had at Swindon, as an additional precaution, adopted means, by iron bands, of placing the resistance nearer to the strain during the process of welding. The CORONER then briefly addressed the jury.—lt was quite clear, he said, that no blame attached to the railway people, and that there was none with reference either to the engi neer or the driver. After reviewing the . evidence, he said that the object of their inquiry ought to ;be to prevent the recurrence of such a calamity. It appeared to him that they could come to no other conclusion than that the deaths of the deceased were strictly accidental. At the same time, however, such an accident held out a very useful lesson. In this case two lives were lost; there might have -been fifty. In fact, when they considered the speed at which an express train travelled, there was no knowing what might be the ex, tent of the- calamity if anything went wrong. The tire might have flown off at a platform crowded with passengers, and killed sixty people. Therefore, it gave him great satis faction to see persons of such high repute present, and all agreeing that it would be a safer and better plan to adopt the fastening by screws. Common sense told them that the recommendation was a good one. He hoped that wherever steeled tires were in use, the screw should be also used as a fastening; and after that :recommendation, if any engineer had the hardihood to go on with the old - practice, and• any calamity arose tlie:efrom, as in the present _case, such an en gineer would incur a fearful responsibility at law. The Co roner concluded by thanking the jury for the patient atten tion Which they had given to the case. A juryman —Is railway travelling li m it e d as t o speed? . The CORONER—No, sir; not bylaw. Juryman—That appears to me a great omission, - for if a coach or. other vehicle is driven furiously the driver is liable to a penalty. The CORONER—There is no such limitations as to railways, and the public are principally to blame for it, if it is a fault. Directors find that they can scarcely satisfy the public in this respect. A gentleman got into the quarter to I.o,o'clock expresa train 'to Exeter some shott tlint - tgO, and almoer immediately fell as'eep. He did not awake till the train had stopped pt Exeter at a quarter past 2 o'clock, when, pulling out his watch and seeing the hour, he called out to the guard, " God bless me, can't rou manage to go a little faster?"—(Great laughter.) I believe in a short time there must be some arrangement on this head. Juryman—l don't think there can be a better man than the Hon. Member for Finsbury to forward such an object. The jury having retired for 20 minutes, on their return the foreman delivered their unanimous verdict to the follow-- ing effect That the deceased came by their deaths acci dentally in the manner described, and that it was advisable that in future the tires should be fastened on the wheels in the manner recommended by the engineers who had been examined." DESTRUCTION OF EASTON LODGE. (From the Essex Herald of yesterday.) Another of the proud and noble mansions of England has fallen by fire—Easton Lodge, the residence of Lord Viscount Maynard, which possessed a peculiar interest in this part of the kingdom, not only from its presenting a noble pile in the Elizabethan style of architecture, modified by the taste and the luxury of the present day, but .as forming the " stately horns" of the lord-lieutenant of Essex, the highest official representative of the Sovereign in the county. It is now a heap of black ruins, beneath which lies buried much costly and valuable property. This calamity, which has laid the main body of the fine old house in ruins, occurred at an early hour on Sunday morning, and the first signs of the fearful destruction that followed appear to have been discovered by his Lordship himself. It seems that at three o'clock in the morning, while the Noble Viscount and Lady Maynard were in bed, their attention was attracted to a strange crackling noise in some of the other apartments ; and the first thought that suggested itself being that thieves were endeavouring to effect an entrance, his Lordship rose and proceeded to his dressing-room. There he found an enemy far more formid able than human robbers. The whole apartment was filled with a dense smoke, and the flames were already curl ing up the walls of one side of the room, though the imme diate cause of the ignition did not appear, and it seems from all the accounts that have reached us that even up to this time it remains unknown. His Lordship, with great promp titude and presence of mind, endeavoured in the first instance so to apply the carpet as to smother the flames; and all the household being aroused, the servants set vigorously to work with buckets of water to endeavour to check the first progress of the debtroyer. This •it was soon found was vain. The older part of the mansion was built chiefly with timber, and the flames taking a stronger and deeper hold of the ponder ous beams of the ancient architect, defied all the efforts of the family to arrest them in their early stage. It was then resolved to summon the aid of the neighbourhood by means of the alarm bell, when it was found in this they were foiled. The rope of the bell had become entangled, and thus render ed useless; but the situation of the mansion was soon after an nounced to the in itant§. of the district by ti red glare t that illumined the y.,,' ... vrr When it was seen hat ail the efforts of the parties imme lt diately around the mansion were vain, and that the small engine belonging to the lodge was useless to stay- the flames, Mr. Griggs, his Lordship's butler, was dispatched on horseback for the large engine at the police-station at Dun mow, which was instantly got out by the force, well manned, and nromptly on its way to the scene of conflagration, fol lowed by the two smaller ones from the same place. Hun dreds, too, began to flock in from the surrounding country, farmers, tradesmen, and labourers, all evincing deep regret at the prospect of destruction, and all anxious to put forth every effort to save the house and property. Another engine shortly arrived from Thaxted, and every exertion was made to get the engines into play. But in the mean time the w t e im re e a d sc es e c n e d n i d ng ing an t d o g d he the fea roof,fearful p progress. e a s the hall, the drawing and dining-rooms, and ruthlessly t s . the They h same e y con suming those elegantly fitted-up apartments, with their costly contents.

At a quarter before five the handsome old turret clock caught fire, the hands stopped, and enshrouded in a sheet of flame, the whole fell into the burning mass below. Of this portion / of the building nothing was left except the curious and antiquated brick chimneys. About six o'clock all efforts were directed to cutting off the communication over the billiard-room, and thas saving the part not then ignited. By the incessant labour of a strong body of persons this was effected, by a large stream of water being poured by the engines upon the burning rafters of the centre ;owns, and wet blankets placed to deaden the effects of the flames. This, with the left wing of the building, is the only part left standing. UNITED STATES POST-OFFICE. The report of the United Mates Post-office department re cently presented to the President, is this year of more than usual interest, as it gives the experience of the first twelve months of the new system (based on the plans of Rowland Hill), adopted on the Ist. of July, 1845. It appears that the annual average income for the ten years preceding the above date was 4,364,624 dolls., while for the first year of the new law it was 3,487,199 dolls., showing a diminution of 877,425 dolls., or about '2O per cent. The receipts for 1844-45 were, however, less than the average above-mentioned, so that the actual diminution of income under the alteration as compared with the preceding year was only 802,624 dolls. "No incon siderable portion of this deficiency," it is alleged in the re port, "may be traced to other causes than a reduction in the rates." The system, as adopted in America, does not embrace a uniform, but a graduated rate (five cents under 200 miles, and ten cents for a greater distance) and hence the temp tation still still exisis, as regards distant points, to send letters by private expresses, " which still continue to be run between principal cities with as much regularity as the mails." It is also common to enclose more than one letter under a single half-ounce cover, " and even packages of letters, addressed to different individuals, are collected together under a single cover and directed to some third per son for distribution, by which means 109 letters, weighing eight ounces, are charged under 300 miles 80c., and over 300 miles 1 doll. 60c., when the department is entitled to receive, under the law, 5 dolls. or 10 dolls., according to the dis tance." The immense mass of dead letters, averaging an nually between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000, besides an excessive number of unclaimed newspapers, is also gre e a t fly te coTx li a t in tbe single letter to one quarter instead of the . of; and, to remedy these evils, it is pro d. An ncrease require that all newspapers should be pre-p ai d. half-ounce , l) and to reference to their accord ing to certain vexatious conditions, with d. size and weight, is likewise recommended. In never been looked In the United States the Post-o ffi ce on the rates of postage on newspapers to be gulated for ,000 dolls., the 10 years preceding the new law was abo ut _ ,O _ 97 dolls., the and nutter the alteration it has been 597 with what smallness of this latter deficiency, to as a source of revenue. The average as compared to the might have been anticipated, being att r ibutable expenditure having some what remarkable circumstance of t he adoption of the new been reduced concurrently with thean nual 1 deficiency3s increase of letters which measure, and despite the great inc e r c e ff ted in the letting of arose from it. The reduction was e the mail contracts; but it is acknowle dg ed that the service of oc casionally greatly the department has, in consequenc% b e e ntaken in many instances impaired, the contracts having been by persons of doubtful characte Another effect of incapable of fulfilling their obligations. character and means, altogether over-economy is also reported i n the fact; that of the 14,793 post-o ffi ces in the United Sta t es, nearly one-third of the post-masters h av e voluntarily vaca ted their appointments since the passage of the ne w law. These officers were paid by a per-centage, !and when the system was put in force which reduced their receipts while it increased their work, in their mode of remuneration. Finding, however , the no alteration was made universal flight that was taking place, and that it would s," b e i m possible to get any person of the s li g hte s t respectability )I' to assume the office, the Attorney- General construed thoa l w as enabling the department to in crease the compensation - to the ...me ~... ant as that of the year pr eceding the alteration , and thus succeeded partially in arresting the resignations.

Feb. 1, 1847. ILFRACOMB E. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. _ - PORTSMOUTH, FEB. I.—The Netley cutter has arrived from Plymouth this morning with supernumeraries for the flag ship. Her commander reports that her Majesty's brig Albatross had just anchored in the Sound, having encoun tered a gale of wind, and bein.4 nearly foundered. Com mander Farquhar had been compelled to throw several of the guns overboard to save her. Spars and boats had been washed away, but it 'did not transpire that any of the crew were lost or injured. Orders are expected to-morrow for the Belleisle to be loaded with biscuit meal, and dispatched to Ireland. The Medea was to t leve Greenhi.the thil morning; it is in- . intended she shall go to Lisbqn on Friday, with his Excel= lency Sir G. 'Hamilton SeymAaafFirtlier Majendellttather Sphynx. T.= f3t - trz - Dix.—rlErrliii,jeetril tetriblition went this morning to assist in endeavouring to get this vessel off. In consequence of a survey made by Captain James, Royal En gineers, the director of works in this yard, of the position of the Sphynx, and the apparent obstacles in the way of getting her afloat, that officer has gone in the Retribution with thirty excavators to dig the mud and sand from around a. rock which is within two lengths of the Sphynx, directly in a line with her cut-water as she now lies, Captain James hopes tH be able to blast this rock with gunpowder, and rem , ,ve such por tions as will afford a passage for her, when the great trial is made to- morrow. At low water there is 6 feet water under her stern, the same round her sides, but only 4 feet under the bow. This rock, which it is desirable to remove, has only one foot ten inches water over it at low tides. The Sphynx must have been washed clear, during the late gale, either by being moved on the starboard or port side, as it is directly in the front of her. Several officers went to the spot on Satur day and yesterday, and describe her to be perfectly upright with her head to the sea, and in a position most favourable for cables and hawsers to be made fast to her bows. If it were not for this rock, which is in such an awkward place, there [appears no impediment to her rescue. Th'i wind and weather continues most favourable. The Porcupine steam vessel, Lieutenant Tumour commanding, 'returned from her last night, and went down again this morning with another lump in tow. A great many additional casks have been sent down to assist in buoying up the wreck. The Fanny tender, having Admiral Sir Charles Ogle and Captain Milne, of the St. Vincent, on board, went down before eight o'clock this morning, and was followed shortly after by the Myrtle steam tender, second master Battiston, to tow if r quisite. The Emerald tender arrived to-day with a number of supernumeraries (chiefly boys) from Cork. The Curlew, 10, fitted with a mortar upon Lieutenant Roberts's plan, cast off from the jetty to make room for the Rattler to-day, the latter requiring some repairs, and the former shipped the shells, &c., for the trial at Spithead.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—FROM A Con- AESPONDENT.—Another accident occurred on the Manchester Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway on Monday morning, which has been fatal to an engine-driver named James Robinson, a married man. Robinson, according to custom, left the engine shed at Newton, about seven A at., With a train of empty carriages for Hadfield 9 where the train leaves for Manchester with passengers at 715 a.m. They pro ceeded steadily, and on their arriving at the Dinting station they came in contact with a train of empty coal waggons,which had stopped at the station. The signal was turned on for the passenger train to stop, but it was snowing very hard at the time, and the engine driver did not see it until too late, when he made an attempt to jump off the engine and fell under it. His head was smashed to atoms; and they were obliged to pick the poor fellow's brains off the ground and put them in a bason. The two engines were much damaged, and the carriages were shivered all to pieces. The buffers were driven right through the carriages, and had they been loaded the sacrifice of life would have been dreadful. Th e fireman of the passengers' engine escaped by jumping off the engine. The broken engi!ie, and carriages, and waggons were caused a delay_on s were cleared off as soon as possible, about two hours. The train that l e f t Manch Sheffield at 8 A.m. did not arrive at Sheffield eater for until 11.54, in in lieu of 10.6. An inquest will be held on the body to morrow.

There are advices of a few days' laver date from the Cane of Good Hope, viz., to December 5. The Kafir war seems to have been virtually at an end, although there was no official altiouncement of peace having been coecluded. The Rev. Henry Calderw ,od had been appointed Commissioner for the Gaika !lees in British Kafirland, and as this would necessitate a residence in the country of our late enemies, it was presumed that rite a ppointment wetild he permanent, and that the Governor expected to eetatdist) eie a uthori tv w ith ou t further opposi ion.

In the Gaika districts, which, it is tend, are to he edict! British Katirlar.d, many of the natives were actively cultivating their gardens, and the women were employed .in providing firewood and other necessaries for our camp, so great was the feeling of • security and satiefaction ertgendeeed by the moderation in vic.tery of tile English troops. At the same time every effort was mode to instil into the minds nf the Katirs ',tie peualty incurred by.tmjnetifiable IT uesbion, and they are stet d to be sensible of the blame justly ascribable to them.

At the same time, we should be sorry to encourage jobbing, and if the supplies can be raised more cheaply by the crea tion and subsequent funding of bills, all the better.

ERE ON BOARD SHIP, AN D Loss OF LI FE .—At ao'clockatl c onsequences, nns ecinc Saturday u e e i - ast a serious fire, attended with l f m br o : n ke ilag out on board of the schooner Zebra, of London, lying oil the quay at Maryport. It was discovered by one of the town police, who, in passing the vessel, saw a great light, and he found the after cabin com pletely on ire. Raising an immediate alarm, the engine belonging to the town was promptly brought to the spot, and got to work, but it was dearly two hours before the fire was extinguished. After the smoke and fire had subsided, Some of the crew went down to ascertain the extent of damage, when they were shocked at finding the remains of one of the apprentices, named Weir, lying on the floor of the cabin, . burnt almost to a cinder. The fire, no doubt, originated from the carelessness of the unfortunate youth, an iron can. dlestick having been found in his berth.
