The thirty-fourth half-yearly general meeting of this company was held at the Bridgehouse Hotel, London bridge, this afternoon ; Mr. J. Macgregor, M.P., in the chair. The report, which has already appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the total receipts for the half-year was 382,9261., but the sum !of 274,7721. had to be deducted from the gross earnings for rates taxes, &c., and for the payment of interest on mortgage debt. (Hear.) The amount available for a dividend was 100,2391., being 6,4591. more than in the corresponding months of last half-year ; and the directors now proposed the pay ment of a dividend at the rate of Bs. per share. The increrse in the traffic in the last half-year showed an ex of 36,2731. over that of 1852. The chairman then commented upon the different items of the ac counts,ses and said th a t th oug h the e xpenses of the compa n y h a d i ncrease d, they had They i x a p d all been legitimat e ly an d necessarily incurred. had derived a p ro fit o f 1,9061. f ro m th s ei electric tele graph, but unde r thi s h ea d there was an outlay of 1,3501., but there could be no doubt as to the advantage of extendi ng t e l egi aphic communication on their lines, and he might mention that a system for the joint signalling o f trains was a b ou t to be established. If any saving could be effected in the outlay of the company it must be in the miscellane ous expenses, but he bad come to the conclusion, taking into account the number of stations and the work done, that it was not in the power of the directors or any board of managers, to diminish the present amount of those expenses. He, however, thought that the sources of the companys traffic was inexhaustible, and that the proprietors would ultimately receive a much better dividend. (Hear, hear.) A line was now opened from Paris to Bordeaux, a distance of 365 miles, and this was to them an important event, be cause it opened up a country which was connected with this company by means of the Continental railways. The railway communication to Marseilles would shortly be completed, and would affect the traffic on the South- Eastern line to an important extent, and he believed, from the good spirit hitherto evinced by the French Go• vernment, that arrangements would be made so as to secure travellers for the East and Malta against the annoyance of Customs' regulations, with regard to the inspection of luggage. (Hear, hear.) The arrangements already sanctioned by the English au thorities for deferring the searching of passenger's bag gage until it arrived at London-bridge, had been rendered entirely nugatory by the Dover porters, who had local privileges which they distinguished themselves by making a bar to the proposed 'Arrange ments, but he had just been informed that these individuals had, at last, come to a proper sense of what was due to the public, they having agreed to accept the terms offered to them, viz., threepence for every baggage, large and small, landed at the Dover station. He was happy now to congratulate the public that they would no longer be subject to the caprice and extortion of the Dover porters. (Cheers.) Mr. RENSHAW, deputy chairman, seconded the motion. Mr. S. HAMILTON proceeded to read a document of considerable length, attacking the general policy of the directors, which he said had had the effect of greatly de preciating the shares of the company. He was listened to with great impatience by the meeting, and interrupted by frequent calls to order, to which, however, he paid no attention. Mr. G. SMITH condemned the conduct of Mr. Hamil ton in coming systematically before these meetings to injure their common property by statements which had no foundation. (Cheers.) Mr. Hamilton had surrep titiously come to him (Mr. Smith) and endeavoured to enveigle him into supporting a resolution derogatory to the chairman and directors of the company. After some noisy discussion, The CHAIRMAN denied, with indignation, an accusa tion made by Mr. Smith, that he had suffered a train to run on the North Kent line at an unusually late hour for his individual accommodation. The same gentleman had complained of the depreci ation of this and other railway property, but it was gratifying to know that henceforth railway legislation was to take place on a more comprehensive and certain basis. A committee of the House of Com - mons was to be appointed to determine the principles on which railway extension should be carried out, and this plan, for which they were indebted to the President of the Board of Trade, also possessed another feature which savoured much of justice, and would greatly tend to diminish the expenses of railways. All persons who interfered with the ordinary course of business of railways without sufficient cause would have to pay the expenses of both parties. (Hear, hear.) The assertion that the affairs of the company had been affected by the introduction of employes into the meet ing, was to absurd to require a reply ; but he might state that the only servant of the company he saw pre sent, was the secretary, who was a shareholder of his own accord, and who was required to attend in the dis charge of his duties. He regretted that the result of the half-year was not not more favourable, but he looked ' confidently forward to a much more satisfactory state of things, for he be believed that the expenses were not likely to be much exceeded, while he considered, as he he had already intimated, that the traffic of the South- Eastern was inexhaustible. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. WILSON also atta c k e d the proceedings of the board, and said his great complaint was that every thing connected with the company was subject to the single controul of the chairman, who was virtually the director of the directors. (Cheers.) Mr. RENSHAW, a director, said he had denied that statement at a former meeting, when the hon. member expressed himself satisfied with his explanation. Mr. J. WILSON—Has ever a single proposition brought forward by him not received the sanction of his col leagues ? Mr. RENSHAW—Certainly. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN—I give a flat denial to the statement which Mr. Josiah Wilson has dared to make. (Cheers.) During the nine years I have been a director of this company, I have received the support of large bodies of shareholders assembled in this room, who have ex pressed entire confidence in my integrity and my devo tion to their general interests, and I defy any man to bring forward a single fact which shall invalidate what I now state. It is most lamentable that the concerns of this great company should be interfered with by shareholders referring to matters which are past and settled, and which cannot now be altered. (Cheers.) Mr. J. WILSON moved an amendment to the effect that the report should be received wirh the exception of the report of the auditors, which he proposed should be considered sep ara t e l y. Mr. GRAY said he did not participate in the gloomy forebodings only unite together of Mr.e Wilson. If the shareholders would go o n prosperous r l harmoniously, the company would Smith to abstain, faouyr.cpe(Hfuetaurr.e) from e personalappeal e d allusions t o lr . Mr. MORGAlTaffairs totr, declared, from his acquaint ance with the cause whatever for thetheompany' that there was no the market. He believedth shares going down in value in t ,andat the company duri pay less than at presentwould never half-year the receipts would yield a dividend of from lls, to 12s. (Hear, hear.) The ti mendm theent and the resolution were then p u t t o the meeting, and resolution waseaarrshieadrby an over whelming majority. Th e payment of a dividend of Bs. dance with the recom mendation of the report, in accor dance was next agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution giving powers to the directors to raise a sum not exceeding 500,000 1 ., under the powers of the Whitstable and Can. terbury Steam Packet Company's Purchase Bills, which, after some angry discussion, was agreed to. A further resolution was passed,, authorizing the rail way 40,0001. for the formation of a junction with the Reading and Reigate Railway, and the Great Western. Mr. C. Whetham was then proposed as a 3rd au ditor of the company, but an amendment was moved that the election of an additional au ditor should be postponed until the next half-yearly meeting, and oarried. The meeting was then made special, and resolutions were passed authorising the purchase of the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway, and the steam-boats. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. A RACE TO AIISTRALIA.—Great interest is excited in nautical circles by the departure last week from London of a British ship, intended to compete with the cele brated American Sovereign of the Seas. This vessel is the Gauntlet, owned by James Smith, jun., Esq., of Tower-chambers. The Gauntlet is an iron vessel, mo delled by Mr. Rennie, and built by Denny and Rankin, on the Clyd e. Sh e sailed from Gravesend at 2 p.m. on r Mo athe nday, and passed Deal a t 7 p.m. The distance is lo e re than from h ere to Holyhea d , so t h a t s h e mustr-h more gone very fast. On the same principle that is adopted by the yachts of this country , th e diff er ence Gauntlet in tonnage betwe en the and the Sovereign of the Seas should mak e a differen ce in th e p assage toAus tralia of about four days, the former ie vessel being 693 t ons , while the latter i s 2 , 4 00. followed from London by another Liverpoolauntlet will be Marion, built by Messrs.

The Editor of The Sum, is entreated to give in sertion to the following letter, as showing the gene rous temper of the British soldier. Royal Marine Barracks, Gosport, 12th September, 1853. My dear General,—On Saturday I placed in gar rison and divisional orders your request to make known to the troops the sentiments which you have been pleased so warmly to express. The funeral of your late distinguished and much lamented brother, Sir Charles James Napier, G.C.8., excited the deepest interest, not only in the troops, by whom he was so justly beloved and revered, but by all classes of society, as was appa rent to you on that melancholy occasion. From an early hour in the morning the roads were covered, all hastening to the spot, and Ports mouth presented a dense mass of people, not less than sixty thousand. The moment the time was communicated to the troops, they, as it were, with one voice, expressed a wish to attend ; and I found it necessary to direct the 42d Royal Highlanders to cross from Gosport by one bridge, and the Royal Marines by another, as sufficient accommodation could not be afforded by one and the same. What a proud scene to contemplate. History does not present a parallel : the whole of an ex tensive garrison, the finest troops in the world, turning out with one accord to do homage to, and crowding round his honoured remains. What pro di g ies of valour have been, and would have been again accomplished, had an all-wise Providence so ordained it, under such a leader, whose name and heroic deeds must ever a d orn t h e gpages of History. arrison Chapel was hu ng w ith bl ac k yes terday,allusion was made to th e me l anc h o l y event, and myself brightest te m yself and all officers appearedwith a crape round the left arm. - I beg to return you, on my own part, and that of the corps to which I belong, our most sincere and heartfelt acknowledgments for the gratifying note embodying your lamented brothers' opinion as to its services, and which I have felt it my duty to submit to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that so honourable and truly valu able a testimony should be communicated to the corps at large. With sentiments of the most profound respect, allow me to subscribe myself your faithful and obe dient servant, _ CHAS. MENZIES, Colonel Commandant Royal Marines, Commanding S. W. District. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—Maria Clarkson, a young woman, from the neighbourhood of Southwark-bridge-road, was brought up for further examination, charged with steal ing a number of gold and diamond rings. The prisoner went into the shop of Mr. G. Cording, 232, Strand, about a week ago, and told the assistant in attendance that she wanted a hair-ring made. She had a lock of hair in her possession, and, on being shown a collection of rings to select a pattern from, she pointed out one of them as her choice. In a minute or two afterwards, the assistant saw a vacant place in the tray, and consequently knew that one of the rings had been taken out. He immediately accused the pri soner of stealing one, and went round the counter with the view of detaining her; upon which she delivered up a diamond ring, worth 31., and it was at once identified. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARYLEBONE.—Signor Sebastian Pinto Leitj, a Portuguese merchant, residing in Harley street, Caven dish-square, and Mary Barkin, his housekeeper, ap peared according to their personal assurance, given on a former occasion, to answer a charge of felony, in taking a quantity of cloth and an invoice, the alleged property of Antonio Lopes Justianino. At the former examination it appeared that the complainant, who had served as a lieutenant-colonel under General Cabrera, in the Carlist war, now follows the business of a tailor in this country. In December last the defendant, Mr. Leitti, a merchant in the city of London, had em ployed him to do some jobs, and knowing the position he had one time filled, he took him by the hand, and proposed placing him in a house in Harley-street, so that he might gain a certain livelihood. The house was taken in the name of Mr. Leitd, but the complainant asserted that he was recognised as master by the lodgers and that he carried on his tailoring business in the stables of the premises, the defendant agreeing to be come a lodger in the house. In March this year the tenancy of the house commenced, and then the defen dant purchased the cloth in question for the complainant, and otherwise became his security to allow of his re ceiving credit. In July some matters of disagreement arose between them, the result of which was, that Mr. Leiti turned the complainant out of the house in the first instance, and subsequently, with the assistance of the police, out of the stable in which the cloth was kept. In August the complainant found that the cloth was taken away, and he made the present charge. In cross examination the complainant admitted that he was in great distress when the defendant first served him ; that he had been security for two several sums of 501. for him with West-end drapers ; and that, although he knew that the defendant had paid for the cloth alleged to be stolen, he (complainant) had never paid defendant for it. On the case being called on, Mr. Broughton re-called the complainant, mut asked him what position he held in the house in Harley-street on the 26th of March ?—Complainant : As owner. Mr. Broughton—How could you consider yourself owner when you neither paid the servants, the taxes, nor rent of the house ?—Complainant : Because Mr. Leitd had promised to take the house in my name. Mr. Broughton—Who took the money from the lodgers, and what was done with it ?—Complainant : I used to take it, and hand it to Mary Barkin. Mr. Leitt gave her what other money was wanted for the use of the house. She kept an account of it. I never put any of the profits in my pocket. Mr. Leitti had advanced me 201. to carry on my business as a tailor. Monte; late coachman to Mr. Leit4, and two of his discharged female servants, were called, but their testi mony with reference to the taking of the cloth in no way tended to place the matter in that position that would denote a felonious intent. Mr. Parry, for the defendant, Mr. Leitd, said—l most humbly submit to your worship that in this case no charge of felony has been made out at all. Even sup posing the facts of the case to be such as given in evidence, no jury of England would convict Mr. Leitd. Apart from the fact that the defendant, a foreigner, may have unintentionally committed a breach of the English law, still it cannot be construed into an intent of taking that which did not belong to him, for the cloth in question was, in justice, his property, he not having been paid for it. Had not many tradesmen been placed in the same position, and on applying to a magistrate, had not the reply been, " I cannot interfere in the mat ter, it is out of my jurisdiction; but if you see your goods you have a right to take them if the party will not, or does not, intend to pay for them." Here is a man, who, whilst in distress, worms himself into Mr. Leitd's confidence, and then, with the greatest ingrati tude, turns round and makes the present charge. The acts of the case were simply that the defendant had placed the complainant in a place of trust, and he had, with the greatest ingratitude, turned round on his pa tron, and attempted to blacken his character before the world. The learned counsel then reviewed the whole case, and concluded by earnestly appealing to his wor ship not to stigmatise the character of his client, who held a high position in the city of London as a mer chant, by sending this most trumpery charge for trial. Mr. Henry Harris, for the defendant Mary Barkin, contended that the statement made by her had in no way connected her in an admission of wrong, and that what she knew of the matter showed that she had acted strictly under a sense of right. He also insisted that the magistrate could do no other than not interfere in such a case as the present. Mr. Broughton said he would take time to consider his judgment. The defendants left the court with their friends, with out entering into any recognisances. LAMBETH. — Henry Richardson, the driver of the cab No. 977, and badge No. 4,745, appeared to a sum mons charging him with refusing to take a fare after his cab had been regularly hired. Mr. Charles Burrows, a gentleman residing at Dul wich, deposed that, about half-past 11 o'clock on the night of the 25th of last month, several of the cabmen ? h r . l im the to r h a i n s k re a si t Ca denc mb e on n rw as e c l e l- r gen had t r a e iningwhe r r e e fu h sd e e wa t n o take wanted dto then with go, and having observed the defendant drive up and put d en o v g i: ge a d f . ar; il: l l )e went to him and asked him if he was told the residence at Mrs, defendant replied he was not, and he Burrows got into the cab. He then should give h . defendantDulwich, upon to drive him, namely, to his d not gtlhsoa.int6gdt.t:litvoz:hlimw.tch, upon which lie asked what he was 11 cr sa o .v s 2e v d n a. : I l l e at w nhd o e ul et d hhea ta n k dge l: f h e d , but that if he made it half-a -y ha llitness told him he should but 28. The defendant replied hiniotm:a.enss told him his fare was onl second about him, which was t iini home. He seemed, about, as he expected, to d,,,,,g e c ' i 00 the box, and was • however, to conceive a jumping off the box, said be re ought, and instantly u ponwhich he directed to be om y.could not tak e hi m , e n t house close by. Here the officers on dutyothe station him that he was bound to take the fare, not . only told recommended him to do so. lie, hewsevheut strongly orily refused, and the number of his badge :;ixerentpt were taken, and written down by the sergeantt.hem-eab Burrows further stated that it was exceedingly • --ix. es s ingular that both himself and the reserved man on duty at the station-house should have made a mistake in the num. her ; but they took it to be 337, and he had actually summoned the driver of that number, and had to pay him Bs. for his loss of time and trouble in attending to the summons. Mr. Elliott—Don't you think there is a probability e and takin a of your making a mistake in the numb possible, . but it nine for a three ?—Mr. Burrows—lt is is somewhat strange that we should have both made such a mistake. Had the defendant given mi r t h he usual card with the number of his vehicle, a s requ by act of Parliament, I should have discovered if there had been a change made in the plates, but he refused to give me one, on the ground that I was not his fare. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that, the day being wet, he was rather fortunate in getting fares, and the fact was that his horse was quite knocked up when the gentleman hailed him. His reply to the gen tleman was that he should take him a journey towards his home, which was at Islington, and to which he had then four miles to travel, but if he took the complain ant to Dulwich, he should have nine. The number of his cab he said, had always been 977. Mr. Elliott observed that if the defendant did not wish to take a fare he should have taken his plates off, but it was quite idle for him to assert that he had not admitted the gentleman as a fare, when it was evident he was ready to take him if he chose to be imposed on and pay the half-crown. For the offence he must pay a penalty of Bs. and the expenses, or be imprisoned for eight days. The defendant paid the fine. WESTMINSTER.—The Rev. Mr. Hooper, curate of St. Stephen's, Rochester-row, and assistant chaplain at St. Thomas's Hospital, appeared to exhibit two charges against Benjamin Crouch, a cab driver, for de manding more than his fare, and misbehaviour during such employment. Defendant pleaded guilty. Complainant stated that on the morning of the 7th inst., he rode to St. Thomas's Hospital, and hired defen dant's cab to return to Westminster, having to perform morning service at St. Stephen's. He stopped the cab in Bridge-street, and giving the driver half-a-crown, asked him for eighteen-pence, to which defendant re plied that eighteen-pence was his fare. Complainant told him that he was in the daily habit of riding the dis tance, and never was charged more than one shilling, and directed the defendant to drive him to this court. Defendant said, " Well, if I drive you there, you will have to pay my expenses," when, a sudden thought coming across complainant's mind that his duties at the church would prevent his having time to go to the police court, he desired defendant to drive him to Palace•yard, where he pointed out to him, upon the Commissioners of Police's table of fares posted up there, that the distance from St. Thomas's Hospital was 1,500 yards. Defendant said he did not care for that, he would sooner be summoned than take that amount ; but it was obvious that that was a mere piece of bravado, for upon complainant hold ing some silver out in his hand defendant only took is. While all this was going on he was surrounded by cab men. Complainant had applied for these summonses en tirely upon public grounds, and he wished to say that defendant had called upon him and expressed great re gret ; and he (complainant) solicited as a favour that the magistrate would deal with the defendant as leniently as possible. Mr. Broderip observed that defendant had met with a most merciful complainant, but for whose interposition he should have passed a widely different sentence from what lie was now about to do. He felt that his duty to the public would not allow him to suffer these cases to pass without a penalty of ss. upon each, and costs. THAMES.—Joseph Naylor, 42, Brunswick-street, Poplar, and James Daniel Je f freys, waterman, 8, Globe yard, Poplar, were charged before Mr. Yardley with stealing 1421b5. of lead from the Parana steamer, lying in the East India Dock, the property of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company. Mr. Delamere, jun., attended on the part of the com pany ; Mr. Pelham was engaged for the prisoners. Mr. Delamere stated that the prisoner Naylor was em ployed to remove ashes from the Parana, and that on the previous day, while so employed, he was seen by the ship-keeper, James Carter, to fling a piece of lead from the steamer into the barge, where the other prisoner was at work. After the latter prisoner had received it, he covered it over with a quantity of ashes, upon removing which Carter discovered the lead. Upon information being conveyed to the second mate, he directed that a search should be made to see if there was any more lead on board the barge. That was done, upon which four pieces were discovered, the weight of which was 1421b5. Carter was examined, and proved that the lead was in the chest over the steam-engine ; and a seaman named Smith stated that the prisoner had only to remove the ashes, which were placed on board the barge by him and three other men. The prisoners were committed for trial. GREENWICH.—John Benin, aged about 50 years, who formerly kept a booking-office and tobacconist shop in Broadway, Deptford, was brought before Mr. Traill by Sergeant Carpenter, of the detective police (R division), charged with having feloniously appropriated nearly 1001. in cash and other moneys, entrusted to him for deposit in the London and County Bank, the same being the property of his employer, Mr. Thomas Wheatley, of Greenwich. Mr. Carttar, the coroner and solicitor, appeared for the prosecutor. Mr. Anderson, clerk to Mr. Wheatley, deposed that on Monday, the 15th of August, the prisoner was in the prosecutor's service, doing duty as booking-clerk at White Hart Tavern, London-street, Greenwich. At 10 o'clock that morning witness gave prisoner 731. 14s. 9d. in cash to take to the London and County Bank. Prisoner had been sent by Mr. Wheatley and his son on a like service, Witness also gave a cheque, enve loped, for 2001. to put into the post-office. At 6 o'clock the same evening, finding that the prisoner did not re turn, he made inquiry at the bank, and found that the prisoner had not paid the deposits. The cheque was for 2181., payable to bearer, but crossed ; the letter, however, reached its destination. John Carpenter, police sergeant, R division, deposed to searching the prisoner's lodgings after the robbery. He found some books, one of them was a railway guide, the leaves of which were turned down, and the marks therein enabled him to trace the prisoner's route from England to France, &c. He visited Calais, Paris, Brussels, and Lisle, and at the latter place, after a short time, he met the prisoner promenading in the Grand Place. He had a previous knowledge of the prisoner, and therefore quietly accompanied him to the Hotel de l'Europe, where he had taken up his quar ters. After ra private interview the prisoner frankly admitted the robbery, and said that he supposed witness wanted him for the same. Witness told him that he hoped he had not made away with much of the money, and he replied that he had spent only 7/. or 8/. of it. After being further questioned, the prisoner undressed himself and drew forth a belt of leather in which he had secured a bag of silver and a quantity of gold and foreign bank notes, value 460 f. He also gave him the key of his portmanteau. At this time a French officer of police entered to examine his passport, which bore the name of John Thomson, London, dated the 11th Aug. The prisoner passed as Captain Thomson, in the hotel keepers' books. Prisoner was willing to return to England with witness, but the police of Lisle detained him, and demanded the custody of both prisoner and the moneys which he had received from him. Witness re ceived an intimation that the prisoner might be met with in Westminster, having been discharged by the police magistrate at Lisle (the mayor) with a sum under twenty francs to defray his expenses back to England. He yesterday met the prisoner between Smith-street and Dean-street, Westminster, and took him into cus tody. The prisoner, on his way to Greenwich, told witness that he had applied to the minister of a French Protestant Church at Lisle, and was kindly assisted with twelve francs and sixteen francs by the Lisle autho rities ; these sums enabled him to reach Dunkirk, where he took the steamer to London, and arrived the day previously.—The prisoner was committed for trial.

THREATENING TO SHOOT A COLONEL AT CHOBIIAM.— COURT-MARTIAL.—A general court-martial was held at the cavalry barracks, Dorchester, on Monday, to try a private of the Bth Royal Hussars (two troops of which regiment, with the head-quarters, are now stationed in that town), on a charge of insubordination and threatening to shoot his colonel. The court-martial was presided over by Major-General Purvis, com mandant of the south-western district, assisted by other distinguished officers. The prisoner's name is William Ward, and the offence for which he was arraigned was committed on Chobham-common, during the encamp ment. It appeared from the voluminous evidence laid before the court, that Colonel F. G. Sherwell (Bth Hussars) observing Ward to conduct himself in a very strange and improper manner, and that he was in the act of ill-using a horse, called him forward for the purpose of questioning him on the subject. It was then found that Ward was intoxicated, and on being accosted by the colonel, he immediately became extremely insolent his s o t ffi i c n e s r u , l w . th and unmeasured abusive, violence applying t o ofmanner, ing epithets, and concluding with an impassioned declaration that he would certainly shoot the colonel ; he was then immediately placed under arrest. At the trial the pri soner offered no defence, and threw himself on the mercy of the court. The sentence will not be known until the case has been fully investigated at the Horse Guards. s t a l f ft is l's office, and that office r hi g h i n th e Adj u t an t -Genera of bedthel ie v H e o t ir.s h e a t G a n c a h r a d n s b w y ill the sh o r r e t t l i y r o o m c c o unrt in of t a h n e the lieut.-colonel of a regiment in Ireland will replace him.

A two-decked man-of-war, under topsails, topgallant sails, and royals, and a frigate, under same canvas, were observed at two o'clock this morning reaching in towards the Bolt ; they then tacked off to the south. They showed no colours. The frigate fired 14 or 15 guns. They seemed to be part of the Channel fleet exercising. Wind, S.W., very light. The crew of the Philomel, 8, Commander Skene, were paid advance of wages to-day, and she sails on Thursday for the coast of Africa. The Daedalus, 20, Captain G. W. Wellesley, was paid off alongside the jetty in the dockyard to-day. The crew of the Harlequin, 8, Commander A.

The Lords of the Admiralty, Sir James Graham, Ad miral Dundas, Captain Milne, with Sir B. Walker, Colonel O'Brien, and Colonel Jebb, arrived this morning in the Black Eagle steam-yacht. Colonel Greene, Capt. Hamilton, and Mr. Berkeley came by train last night. Their lordships commenced their duties to-day by in specting the steam-yard at Keyham and the gun-wharf. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 14. The Cyclops steam-frigate, in charge of Mr. Alexander Pope, assistant to the master attendant at Sheerness Dockyard, left Woolwich in the forenoon of to-day, with the boilers and engines of the Nile, for Devonport. The Admiralty have decided on discontinuing the Dover mail packet service, and that the mails b e t ween England and France shall be carried in future by con tract steam-vessels. The present Dover mail steam packets are— the Garland, Lieutenant-Commander Ed. Wylde ; the Onyx, Acting Second Master E. C. Rutter; the Princess Alice, Acting Second Master John War man ; the Violet. Lieutenant-Commander Henry P. Jones ; the Vivid, Acting Master Luke Smithett ; and the Undine, Acting Second Master Edmund Lyne, all paddle-wheel steamers. Four of these vessels it is con templated to dispose of, and reserve two for further ser vice as tenders at some of the naval ports. It is also said that Captain Smithett will be appointed to the com mand of the Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, at Woolwich ; in that case her present commander, Mr. J. E. Petley, will, in all probability, be appointed Super intendent of the Compass Department, which has not been filled up since the death of Captain Johnson. DEPARTURE OF THE EARL OF ELGIN FROM CANADA. The Quebec Morning Chronicle, in giving an account of Lord Elgin's departure, describes the gaiety of the scene as painfully contrasting with the sadness of the occasion. " From the Government-house to the Queen's wharf the streets were lined with troops, evergreens, and the great unwashed multitude. The band and a guard of honour of the 71st Highlanders were stationed at the Government -house, and presented arms as his Excellency —after having been waited upon by the judges, the cor poration, and some of the principal citizens—emerged from the building, followed by the Cabinet, the heads of the military departments, judges, aides-de-camp, &c., to embark on board the Trinity steamer Doris, where Lady Elgin was already seated on the quarter-deck with Lady Elm, Bruce and her other children." His Excellency walked down bareheaded, and was received by a guard of honour from the 66th Regiment, and by the merchants, bankers, and many respectable inhabitants of Quebec. The corporation and others presented addresses. The corporation stated that his Excellency would have the satisfaction to know that he left the country in profound peace and quiet, and in a state of advancement and pros perity it never knew before. " For all this," they added, "the province is indebted to the policy and en larged and comprehensive views of your Excellency in everything which can conduce to its welfare and best interests." In his reply, Lord Elgin said, "During a period of upwards of six years, and those neither the least eventful or agitated of my life, the welfare of the people of this province has been the object of all my thoughts, and anxieties, and hopes. I have sympathised with them as they passed through the gloom of commer cial depression, and I have had cause, thank God, to re joice when they emerged from it into the sunshine of prosperity. However circumstances may change, the interests of Canada can never cease to fill a foremost place in my affections. lam unwilling to accept all the credit which your partiality prompts you to ac cord to me for the improvement which has of late taken place in the condition and pros pects of the province. The destinies of an intel ligent people exercising powers of self-government must ever be mainly in their own hands. To direct public at tention to worthy and useful objects—to allay animosi ties—to offer encouragement at seasons of despondency, and warning at periods of excitement, are among the humble though not unimportant duties which devolve on those who are charged with the administration of public affairs. But whatever the cause, and whoever, under Providence, the instruments, I am content to believe that Canadians feel now, more sensibly than they ever felt it before, that those interests which they have in common are more important than those which divide them, and that a faithful allegiance to the Queen is not incom patible with the exercise of those faculties and the indul gence of those aspirations which in communities as in individuals are proper to maturity. It is the prevalence throughout the province of sentiments so just and sound which leads me to cherish the belief that the prosperity and contentment to the present existence of which you bear such cheering testimony, will prove enduring."

As this subject now engrosses the attention of many scientific men of the present age, it may not be uninte resting to know the results of a discovery which has been introduced by o ur ne i g hb ours on the other side of the Atlantic, for the purpose of testing the existence of a foundation to the ocean, and also to know of what it is composed. There has, for several days past, been lying in the Southampton Waters an American Govern ment surveying brig, named the Dolphin. This brig— which is empowered, under an Act of Congress, in con nection with the scientific researches of Lieut. Maury, of the National Observ a t ory a t W as hi ngton, for the purpose of entering into a series of meteorological observations and discoveries—left Chesapeake Bay on the 31st May, and has completed a perfect line of soundings across the Atlantic to Rockule, off the west coast of Scotland. The distances between each place of sounding averaged about 100 miles. A line was then run to the Azores, to the north of which, about a parallel of 45 in a south-west direction, an elevation was discovered on the bottom of the ocean of about 6,000 feet, the soil indicating a fine yellow chalky substance mixed with a small portion of the finest sand. After leaving the Azores, the Dolphin took a westerly direction, still succeeded in discovering bottom. Steering north, she made a direct line to the "three chimnies," where, at a depth of 1,900 fathoms, bottom was also discovered. At this point Lieut. Berryman, in charge of the ship, finding the position of the weather unfavourable to a continuation of their research, made sail, and came into Southampton. The greatest depth at which bottom was reached was 3,130 fathoms, in lat. from 41 to 43, long. 51 to 56. The explorers have brought home with them specimens of the soil which has been discovered at their various places of sounding, and which will be laid before a committee of scientific men at Washington, for the purpose of analysation. The temperature of the water was also tested at various depths, specimens of which have also been preserved. During the whole of the observations, particular atten tion was paid to the width, depth, and force of the currents in different parts of the ocean, all of which have been carefully noted, for the purpose of being fully discussed and explained. The Dolphin intends returning at the latter end of the week, and should the weather permit, will take a line of soundings to the eastern edge of the Azores, that being a por tion of the Atlantic which has at present remained unexamined. Of course, a further explanation of the results of this expedition will not at present be given, as the whole of the matter collected is being carefully pre served for the uses and explanation of the gentlemen at Washington. There is one interesting matter in connec tion with this subject, and the non-existence of which has been the great drawback to all previous results be ing satisfactory, and which is, the very simple method by which the sounding apparatus is rendered entirely perfect and useful. In all previous attempts the great puzzle has been how to get back the weight when it has once reached the bottom, and it is a well known fact, especially amongst seamen, that in deep-sea sounding, however carefully or strongly a line may be made, it has never, after being once sunk, been recovered. In this respect, however, Brother Jonathan deserves much praise, for he has invented a plan by which the weight upon its reaching the bottom, becomes immediately detached, and the line, therefore, drawn in with per fect ease. The plan is this :—A hole is drilled through a 641 b. or heavier shot, sufficiently large to admit a rod i`of about three-quarters of an :inch in diameter. This rod is about 12 or 14 inches in length, and with the exception of about 11 inch at the bottom, perfectly solid. At the top of the rod are two arms extending one from each side. These arms being upon easily acting hinges, are capable of being raised or lowered with very little power. A small branch extends from the outside of each of them, which is for the purpose of holding by means of rings a piece of wire by which the ball is swung to the rod. A piece of rope is then at tached to each end of the arms, to which again is joined the sounding line. The ball is then lowered into the water, and upon reaching the bottom the strain upon the line ceases, and the arms fall down, allowing the ball to detach itself entirely from the rod, which is then easily drawn in, the drilled portion of which is disco vered to be filled with a specimen of that which it has come in contact with at the bottom. There are other advantages also in connection with the invention, which are of great utility in the carrying on of the discoveries, and which no doubt will so materially assist the scien tific researches of the world, that the subject of whether there is or is not a bottom to the sea will no longer re- I main a difficulty to answer. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER.-WEDNESDAY. At a hasty guess we stated that the attendance of company on the first day was equal to an average. The receipts at the Grand Stand proved that we fell short in our calculation. Upwards of 2,0001. were taken, an amount which showed an increase of fully 2001. An other, and perhaps stronger, proof was afforded by the railway returns of passenger traffic during the day. At an early hour this morning all apprehensions of unfavourable weather were dispelled by a bright sky and a clear atmosphere, and as the day wore on the sun shone forth with an exhilarating influence. Thousands of holiday-folk, bent on seeing " t'Leger run," arrived by train after train, with marvellous safety and dispatch, until the human flood that poured into the town from all quarters was swelled to an immense extent. By two o'clock the principal points of view on the course were densely occupied—stands and inclosure were crowded—the magnates and professionals of the turf gathered together in large numbers, and the race of the day was looked forward to with a degree of anxiety and excitement seldom if ever surpassed. When the bell rang for saddling, so intense was the feeling that was excited that "the boldest held his breath for a time." Everything connected with the work of preparation for the race was eagerly watched, and when the horses were called to the post, the coup-d'ceil was grand and imposing in the extreme. It will be seen by the subjoined details that the result of the race justified the confidence which, through evil report and good report, was placed in West Australian. By the triple triumph of winning the Two Thousand, Derby, and St. Leger, he has achieved a reputation which may challenge comparison with that of the most distinguished of turf celebrities.

After the customary canter and parade they drew together at the post, and at the very first signal a beau tiful start was effected. Feversham, followed by Sit tingbourne, The R e i ver , C o b nu t, and Rataplan, in the order named, made the running to the old road, where Sittingbourne went in front, and galloped on with the lead at a telling pace. Passing the mile post, Rataplan drew into the third place, and West Australian began gradually to improve his position. Coming round the bend, Sittingbourne was caught and passed by The Reiver, whose friends now began to count their gains. At the distance, however, he found West Australian at his quarters, a position which was held until they were opposite the stand, when West Australian went in ad vance, and, amidst the cheers and roars of the vast mul titudes, " Frank," with hands down, landed him an easy winner by three lengths ; four lengths between the second and third ; Balrownie a bad fourth, accompanied by Mr. Sykes and Cineas, behind whom, at long inter vals, came Sittingbourne, Cobnut, and Catspaw. Fever sham pulled up a long way from home, and through the seried crowds that rushed into the course immediately after the race, he slowly threaded his way back to the saddling inclosure.

The Italian version so condemned is designated in the sen tence, " II tugurio dello Zio Tom, Romanzo, Americano di Miss Enrichetta Beecher-Stowe." I STEALING BEES.—The Caledonian Mercury says : A rather amusing case of theft was tried before Sheriff Arkley, on Saturday. A man named Robert Robertson was brought up charged with stealing a swarm of bees from a place near West Calder ; and so dexterous had he become in this peculiar species of depredation, that it appeared he had acquired the soubriquet in the district of " Bee Robbie." His plan, it seemed, was to secure the queen, and the rest of the swarm instantly followed him, leaving hive, honey, and all behind. As he had been only a fortnight liberated, the Sheriff sent him back for sixty days to prison.

STATE OF TRADE: -~-- ---- (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, Sept. 13.—The more threatening as pect of the Eastern question has had an unfavourable effect upon our market to-day. Still more have we felt the increasing stringency to which money matters are subjected. It is not so much that the London discount houses are requiring higher rates for what they may be disposed to do, but they are imposing further limits upon the extent to which they will go in affording accommo dation on bills of exchange ; so that it has become ex tremely difficult to turn long-dated paper to account. This, of course, adds to the previously existing restric tion upon operations for distant markets, founded on such draughts ; whil e a di m i n i s h e d liberality in the ordi nary banking facilities everywhere curtails the amount of ordinary business. All classes of buyers have con sequently exhibited a marked increase of caution to-day; so much so that sellers have not received so few offers on a Tuesday for a considerable time back. Neces sarily, therefore, the bent of prices is more unfavour able for producers than it was last week ; there has however, been too little of a test to afford any proper criterion of the state of the case, and undoubtedly an increasing irregularity is-now showing itself as a result of the expiration, or approaching expiration, of contracts in many quarters. Yet there remains a sufficient extent of engagements amongst spinners and manufacturers to prevent any pressure_to effect Romp Ali, Sept. 12.—We have had a good demand for goods at improving prices, more especially for ker seys, and low priced pieces. The wool market is steady, and prices very firm. HUDDERSFIELD, Sept. 13. —Again we have had a good market, all kinds of seasonable goods are in great request, and chiefly those of good qualities. Some heavy parcels of winter goods, pattern orders, have been deli vered direct by the makers to-day. With the con tinued and uninterrupted briskness, our market days are merely repetitions of each other. There is general activity, much the same class of goods being in request ; the only difference being that an advance may be required from time to time by the manufacturer. HALIFAX, Sept. B.—ln every department of the wor sted trade, from the raw material upwards, there is the same sluggishness of demand which has prevailed for some time past, and we cannot this week report any alteration either for the better or the worse. BIRMINGHAM, Sept. 12.—We have to report a steady continuance of activity in every department of this trade, with still stiffening prices. It is now allowed on all hands that the reduction of 20s. per ton on manu factured iron, declared at the last preliminary meeting, was unnecessary, and a pretty general expectation pre vails that the close of the present month will witness its reversal, putting the price again to 10/. for bars. Orders for next quarter have already been taken at 20s. per ton advance, and in some instances refused, 30s. being re quired. A wholesome check to speculation has been given by the late advance in the rate of discount ; but neither this, nor the unpropitious character of the har vest, seem to offer any serious cause of anxiety. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. NOTICE TO MARINERS. FIXED LIGHT ON SISARGAS ISLAND, WEST COAST OF SPAIN. Hydrographic Office, Aug. 9, 1853. On the 18th of last May a notice was received from the Spanish Government, and was immediately r e p u bli s h e d by this Office, that a fixed red light, varied by flashes, had been placed on Sisargas Island, in lat. 43 deg. 21m. 50s. N., and 8 deg. 55min. 9sec. W. of Greenwich, at the height of 363 feet above the sea. But by another dispatch received this day, it appears that the light ought to have been de scribed as bright, with red flashes, which occur every four minutes. ALHUCEMAS LIGHT, COAST OF BARBARY. It also appears from a note in this latter dispatch, that a fixed light is to be exhibited during the present month on the " Torre-vigia," in Alhucemas Bay, on the Coast of Barbary ; but no other particulars have been communi cated to this Office. Albusemas Bay, in the Spanish chart is in 35 deg. 15rnin. N., and 3 deg. 48min. W. of Greenwich. C EISTOM-HOUSE--SEPT. 14.

Around Sevenoaks, Seal, and Under-river the hops— where healthy, and free from vermin and mould, are cer tainly fast coming forward, and will, we think, produce a good sample. Some talk of half a ton per acre, but we think they will be deceived in many places. They are certainly very small. We also think the duty at 160,0001. is too high. The hops in the Westerham dis trict grow but little, and in most gardens will be very small. The unfavourable weather and the late winds have done more mischief than was thought of ash the time. We h ave some g ood p ieces, but generally w all not grow much over half last year's growth. Some think the duty too high at 145,0001. At Edenbridge, in many gardens, the hops have made considerable progress. The hops in Hurtsgreen continue to improve, with few ex ceptions. At Worcester there is no material improve ment in the hop plantations during the past week, the nights being far too cold for them to make much pro gress, and the estimated duty for this district cannot be called more than 13,0001. to 14,0001. The market con tinues firm, very few hops offering. 9 "rTT'•`. EDINBURGH MEAL MARBET—Sur. 13.
