DESERTER. —ln a recent number of The 'Sun it Was repor;ed that the escort of the depot of the Ist Royal Regiment, from whom a deserter, named Fitzsimons, from the Royal Artillery, escaped at Rose uallis, and who was recaptured, fired at, and severely wounded, were tried by district courts-martial, at Birr I3arracks, for being drunk whilst on duty and suffering the prisoner to escape. The finding of the court and the sentence thereupon were promulgated to the troops at Birr Barracks on Tuesday last.

Especially, therefore, are we rejoiced to observe the re-appearance of these admirable writings in their new form, in that of a cheap and popular re publication. Cordially do we congratulate the• masses of the reading community upon the oppor tunity thereby offered them for familiarising them selves at last with these outpourings of a generous heart and an abounding imagination. Con scious of the evil influence so long exercised upon the humbler classes of the population by the literary garbage upon which their minds have been feeding for years past, through the me dium of a base and prurient series of penny publications, we welcome with unaffected satisfac tion the cheap reissue of the writings of those more eminent authors whose names will be remem• tiered as among the chief glories of our generation. The incomparabl e Di c k ens h as , after this fashion, laid his genial productions within reach of the poorer among his contemporaries. Bulwer Lytton has, in Mire manner, enabled those who could hitherto only judge of his effusions by hearsay, themselves to•appreciate the comprehensiveness of his genius and the scope of his ambition. Emulat ing in a similar way the generous designs of those illustrious writers of fiction, Mr. Warren has here undertaken to revise a popular edition of "Now and Then," of " Ten Thousand a Year," and of the " Diary of a Late Physician." For that enterprise we venture to predict a brilliant consummation. Let us admit, at once among those interested in the spread of a national-f)-education by the diffusion of polite letters ani'Sns , the labouring portions of the com munity—that we are peculiarly solicitous that this success may be achieved. We are solicitous that it ' may be so, because in those writings of Mr. Warren, besides their distinguished ability, we recognise the fervour of an elevating morality, and the ear nestness of a profound and unaffected homage • for Religion. Human nature is there faithfully de picted, but through that delineation of human na ture our minds and our hearts are lifted up to the recognition—in weakness of the Omnipotent—in ignorance of the Omniscient—everywhere of the Omnipresent. It is by this frequent homage for Virtue and Gentleness, and all the awful and holy attributes of the Divinity, as much as by any thing else that our author contrives so frequently to command the tribute of our sympathising admiration. How many noble lessons are inculcated, forinstance, not obtrusively, but most persuasively, through the earliest instalments before us of his admirable " Diary of a Late Physician !" inestimable treasures of wisdom extracted from amidst the loathsomeness of disease, jewels of philosophy some of them picked up in the foulest haunts of crime and the most re volting dens of debauchery—in a word, the flower cc safety" culled from the nettle " Danger"—the veritable aurum e stercore! What a pathetic inci tation to perseverance, for example, the account of those " Early Struggles" which constitutes for the whole Diary its most appropriate and most pathetic introduction ! What a model of patience do we not behold presented us for imitation in that exquisite chapter on the "Cancer." It is the same through out the entire work—in the solemn deathbed scene of the "Scholar," in the anecdote referring to " Duelling," in the lovely tale relating to " Con sumption," in the story of a " Broken Heart," in the history of the " Forger," in the terrible narra tive entitled "Intriguing and Madness," in the startling record of " A Slight Cold," and in the sorrowful memento of the " Martyr Philosopher." The Napoleon Dynasty. Clarke, Becton and Co. This volume is one of the most complete chroni cles that have yet appeared of the Bonaparte family, commencing with Charles and Letitia Bonaparte, it concludes with Napoleon 111. and the Empress Eugenic. A sketch of the history of all the mem bers of the family, and all those connected with them are given, and the volume presents the addi tional attraction of twenty-two portraits. The collection of anecdotes is very interesting, and the historical information valuable and compendious. 10 5 Autwrp &Rotterdam 23 2 d 5 3 Belgian East.

Order con tinued to be maintained ; trade was becoming active, and several projects for internal improve ments seemed likely to be carried out, as well as a revision of the tariff, which will include a great reduction in the duty on manufactured. goods. The subjoined letter from a mercantile correspon dent furnishes the latest details : " Buenos Ayres continues quint. The people are busy in preparing for the new elections, which are to take place shortly. I t is believed those most adverse to the influence or domination of Uroluiza will be returned as deputies to the Sala. Several of the notorious ma-. sorquecos (or association of assassins, that was organised under the bloody tyranny of osas), who recom menced their vocation daring the recent struggle, have been secured and lodged in prison, and are soon to be tried for their lives. They will, no doubt, suf fer for the innumerable murders they have commit ted. The British Pocket stated some time since that Sir Charles Ilothatn had succeeded, by treaty with Ur quiza, in acquiring possession of the island of Martin Garcia—which commands the entrance to the rivers Parana and Uruguay—as a security for the free naviga tion of those rivers. This treaty has recently been pub lished by the Government of Buenos Ayres, under a lengthened proteAt ; but it appears that the Packet was misinformed. There is no absolute cession of territory to Great Britain, France, or the 'United States. It is merely stipulated that the island shall not be occupied by any of the riverine Powers who decline to recognise by treaty the free navigation of those rivers henceforth without limit of time. Buenos Ayres naturally feels annoyed that so important a step should have ema nated from Urquiza. They would probably not have objected, only a few days previously, to have initiated it themselves. There is no doubt it will be is vast benefit to these countries. Their future wars, .if the treaty be ratified, will not do such irreparable injury to commerce as hitherto, and Sir Charles and his colleagues deserve great praise for negotiating so advantageous a benefit to the commerce of Europe, the United States, and Brazil. There may be now some chance of the exploration of the rivers Vermejo and Pil comayo. Paraguay may always be approached with safety, and probably not many years will pass before a direct trade from this river is carried on with the back provinces of Brazil and with the Republic of Bolivia. To be legal, however, the treaty should be ratified by Congress ; but, if Urquiza possesses the slightest in fluence, as the Argentine provinces are sufficiently jealous of Buenos Ayres, it is believed this will not be a difficult matter. Sir Charles's mission was at one time considered almost barren of usefulness, but he now re ceives great credit for his management, and, if the treaty be ratified, will have the grateful thanks of foreigners and many of the Buenos Ayreane themselves. The Government of Buenos Ayres say that Urquiza had no right io make such a treaty even under ordinary circumstances, but as lie was in catremis it was perfectly illegal. Projects of lighting the city with gas, of constructing moles or jetties, and even railroads, are meditated, and some of them will no doubt, soon be carried out. It is said to be seeriously contemplated to reduce the im port duties to 6 per cent., and allow ne deposits on bonding. If this be carried into execution, Buenos Ayres will supersede Montevideo as a depot for mer chandise, unless the latter city make similar reduc tions, or offers equal facilities to the extension of com merce. Urquiza remains quiet in his own province (Entre Rios), but there are rumours that he is in cor respondence with Oribe, and that he is enlisting Italians at Montevideo idto his service by giving them high pre 'Mums. If this be true, peace will not be very durable; l oPaper to 30 d 3 0 dollars have ranged during Exchange, 665. to Gas.thdde. t t n b o e n t d h from ulr)on o l n 2. 88 doubloon, the latest quotation is 292. Business bad somewhat revived. The Vocalist, as was supposed, became a total wreck on the coast near Cape St. Mary. The weather was very boisterous for several days after she went ashore which precluded all hope of getting her off. She was therefore abandoned, and has been sold for the benefit of whom it may concern." THEA-Bif 38TH REGIMENT.— The half -yearly inspection of this fine and well-disciplined corps, under the command of Colonel Sir John Campbell, Bart, tool: place on the parade ground of the Artillery Barracks, Brompton, by the Adjutant General of the Forces, Sir G. Brown, K.C.B. The regiment was afterwards searched to the ground outside the barrack -square and formed into ten divisions. The regiment went through a variety of ma noeuvres, which were performed extremely well, consi dering the cramped state the men were in on account of room, and the gallant general expressed to the com manding officer his entire approbation of the men under his command, and the excellent condition he found every thing in appertaining to the corps. The prisoners are ordered to be released. The adjutant general on leaving, granted leave of absence to officers, and furloughs to non-commissioned officers and soldiers, to commence from the Ist of next month. These indulgences to ter minate on the 10th next March. st a ff Surgeon Blakeney, nephew of Lieut. General Sir E.

TOTAL SUPPLY. FOLEIGN SUPPLY . The leading country raarkets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wh e at, i n w hi c h only a limited busi ness was transacted, on somewhat easier terms. Barley met a dull inqui r y, a t l a t e fi gures ; b u t ma lt was in good request. The oat trade was dull, and prices had a down ward tendency. Beans, peas, and flour, ruled heavy. Advices from New York to the sth inst. state that loth wheat and flour were in brisk demand—the former at an advance from 5 to 6 cents per bushel, the latter 30 to 40 cents per barrel. The Continental markets have con. tinned firm, at very full prices. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were on the increase. From abroad, we received 75,137 quarters of wheat, 6,676 barley, 38,447 oats, 2,309 beans, 576 peas, 135 tares, 8,149 linseed, 472 rapeseed, 202 mustardseed, 478 sundry seeds, and 3,965 barrels of flour. The quantity of wheat received fresh up, to-day, coast wise from Essex and Kent, was but moderate, and greatly out of condition, arising from the prevailing damp weather. From the east coast, as well as by railway, the arrivals were comparatively small ; hence, the show of samples was far from extensive. Notwithstanding that the at tendance of both town and country millers was by no means large, there was a slight improvement in the de mand for home-grown wheats—arising from the warlike intelligence at hand from the East—and Friday's decline in prices was recovered ; hence, the quotations were the same as on Monday last. The supply of foreign wheat was larger than for some time past. On the whole a full average business was transacted in most kinds at full rates of curreney. The arrival of floating cargoes from the westward has been small. To-day, transactions took place at extreme rates. Fine barley was in fair request, at full quotations. In ferior malting and distilling scrts had a downward ten dency. Malt was in good supply, and steady request, at full quotations. The show of oats being large, the trade was dull, at a decline in the prices of Monday last of from 6d to is per quarter. We had a moderate inquiry for beaus. In the quota tions, very little change took place. White boiling peas sold at unusually high figures. Other kinds were steady. firm.

The arrivals of home-fed stock being considerably on the increase, the weather very unfavourable, the attendance of country buyers comparatively small, and Newgate and Leadeuhall being largely supplied, the beef trade was in a very depressed state, at a decline on the quotations ob tained on Monday last of from 2d to in some instances 4d per Sibs., and a total clearance was not effected. The ex treme value of the best sorts was 4s 2d per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,200 shorthorns ; from other parts of England, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and from Scotland 4 soots. _ _ _ With sheep we were seasonably well supplied, and there was a slight improvement in their general quality.

Of whatever material the new Victoria and Albert is to be constructed, it is well understood that she wlu be designed, and all her drawings completed, and calcula tions made at Somerset-house, under the Surveyor of the Navy, who will alone be responsible for the ship. If it be finally arranged that she is to be constructed of wood, she will be built at a Royal dockyard ; but if of iron, a more wholesome and safer material, then inas much as the Royal dockyards build only 'wooden ships, the construction of the new yacht, from the designs of the Surveyor of the Navy's department, will be confided to a firm of unquestionaLle character for expedition and first-rate work. Under all or any circumstances, we repeat that the new yacht will be the production of those in the Royal service, and it is due to the Surveyor of the Navy to state that the success that has attended the design and construction of the new class of screw-ships—St. Jean d'Acre, Agamemnon, Imperieuse, Tribune, &c., afford most satisfactory proofs of progress and efficiency in Royal naval architecture. We understand that the dimensions of the proposed new yacht for the Queen will be increased from those originally suggested. She will be at least 300 feet in length, with 40 feet beam. An additional 30 feet in length with G inches additional breadth, with machinery of 800-horse power, as in the Pacha of Egypt's yacht, would ensure a better speed—say 18 miles au hour. We perceive that a contemporary has reflected on the old yacht as having been badly built. In justice to Mr. Edye, the master shipwright of Plymouth dockyard, and under whose superintendence the Victoria and Albert was built, at Pembroke, we feel bound to state that no vessel could have been more strongly or more faithfully put together. The workmanship was indeed first-rate, too good, indeed, for her. The fault was in the design and not in the construction.—Herald. His Royal Highness Prince Albert is expected to visit the Navy-office of the Admiralty department of Somerset house, on Monday, previous to the decision whether the new royal yacht shall be built of iron or wood, or be a screw or a paddle-wheel steamer. The subject is still much discussed in naval circles, and the general wish of both officers and men is that her Majesty should have a 91-gun ship for a royal yacht, and that the vessel should be fitted with a screw propeller, as the nearest approach to their favourite sailing ships. They say they have never relished paddle-wheel steamers, but they have no objec tion to the screw-propelled vessels or their machinery, being stowed in the hold. All they want is clear decks under any circumstances. A 91-gun ship, finely rigged and manned for service, would have a fine appearance stationed off the Isle of Wight, and be an appropriate sea castle for a naval body-guard for her Majesty, the crew being composed of leading seamen, appointed to the royal yacht for superior abilities, meritorious services, or good conduct. An arrangement of that kind would do much to make the service popular, and the country would have a ship efficient to take her position with the royal standard at the mast-head when naval reviews take place, or on other occasions ; and also to take her place on any emergency as a ship of war for the defence of the country. The necessary expense of 'fitting a vessel of the 91-gun class would be comparatively little when con trasted with the expense of a yacht with a separate establishment, iequired only for a short period every year, and the officers, engineers, and crew, it may be be said, unavailable for any other purpose. In a vessel of the above class there would be ample room for her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the whole of the Royal family, and such royal and distinguished visitors as might be present, with their attendants ; an extent of accommodation which cannot be obtained in the best constructed paddle-wheel steam-vessel, whether built of iron or wood. A 91-gun ship is also the safest for sea , going voyages, and well suited for the depth of water on the coasts of this country. The tenders Fairy and Elfin would always be available for landing at any port when the royal 91-gun yacht anchored in deep water. It would be truly splendid to witness, at a review of the fleet, her Majesty passing down between two lines of war steamers, all fitted with screw propellers (which will be the case with every vessel in the royal navy within a few years, in a fine screw-propelled steam-ship, fitted up for royal accommodation, compared with the appearance of a paddle-wheel steam-vessel passing down the lines under similar circumstances. On the whole, the officers and men of the navy—and it is believed the country e.enerally are anxious that her Majesty should have a fine screw steam-ship for her aquatic excursions, and to be stationed off the Isle of Wight. —Chronicle. FEARFUL CA SP OP MUTINY-MURDER AND SUICIDE ON THE HIGH SEAS. The details were on Saturday received at Lloyd's of a most dreadful tragedy which took place on board the barque Countess of Winton, of Liverpool, while on her homeward voyage from Shanghai. The following are the circumstances as taken from the log :—" On the 17th of May, when the ship was near the Indian coast, the late captain, Mr. James Crangle, ordered all hands on deck. The chief mate, William liTiflen, did not seem. inclined to perform his duty, and the master sent two men to look after him. He was found in the store room under the cabin, and the captain dispatched the second mate to bring him up for disobeying orders. M'Fillen was met approaching the cabin, and the unfortunate master ordered the seamen away, in order that he might have some conversation with him pri vately. A cutlass was lying on the table in the cabin at the time. Angry words were heard passing between them. Shortly aftewards the second mate heard a noise and some heavy groans. lie looked through the sky ' light, but could not observe anything. However, he en tertained a suspicion that som e thing serious had happened. He called the crew, and arming himself with a log of wood, went down to the cabin, where to his horror he saw the lifeless body of the captain stretched upon the floor, and 111‘Fillen thrusting at him with the cutlass. The carpenter, by a dexterous movement, drove the drmcd murderer on one side. He made an effort to escape by running up the rigging; the second mate, however, pursued him, and managed to hold him until he was secured and chained down in his cabin. About a week afterwards, while he was being conducted to the water-closet, duly guarded, lie by some means managed to slip from their attention for a moment, and, making a sudden spring, bounded overboard. A rope was thrown towards him, and the boats lowered, with a view of saving him. He made net the least effort to seize theai, and in a few minutes disappeared and perished. The catastrophe is greatly attributed to a free use of ar dent spirits on board. The deceased master is said to have been often in liquor, and while in that condition treated M'Fillen in a most severe manner. The second mate took command of the ship and brought her safely home. She was freighted with a valuable cargo." THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The Wexford Independent says :—We feel great pleasure in giving the following letter from a dis tinguished We :ford man, Commander McClure, of her Majesty's ship Investigator, addressed to his uncle, the - Rev. Richard W. Elgee. He has suc ceeded in discovering the North-west Passage, which has been sought after since the days of Alfred the Great, but which important event in our history has been reserved for one of Wexford's daring and chivalrous sons : " Her Majesty's ship Resolute, Dealy Island, Barrow's Straits, April, 1853. " My dear Uncle,—Your kind and most unexpected letter reached me through a travelling party dispatched by my excellent friend Captain Kellett, at a position on the opposite side of these straits, where we had been frozen in since 1851. The surprise caused by the ap pearance of strangers, where none were imagined to be within a couple of thousand miles, was more than I can describe, and what can only faintly be imagined by any who have not been similarly situated, particularly when it was ascertained that two vessels and large supplies were so close at hand. The spirits of my crew seemed to revive, and from despondency to joy was hut the work of a moment—the sick forgot their maladies, and jumping from their hammocks, were car ried in the stream of human creatures up the solitary hatchway which the severity of the weather allowed of being kept open, rushed on deck to be assured that the strange apparition was actually living flesh and blood, and not denizens of the nether world. for certainly the:r faces were black as Erebus , from cooking in their tents. When all was discovered to be real, and not a dream, my poor fano% s, equally with myself could not find words to express our thoughts ; the heart was too full —it was a call from the grave ; never, I trust, mny the feelings of gratitude to the Almighty Disposer of events which then swelled in my bosom pass away. Many and great have been the mercies we have experienced in our long, tedious, and terrible navigation of that fearful polar sea, which hag for 400 years baffled the navies of maritime Europe, and through which the directing finger alone of Providence has safely guided tie. All human agency was powerlees, indeed, to adv ance us ono yar d in its accom plishment amidst the stup en d ous b arr i ers o f i ce which .never leaves its frozen surface. You will, lam certain, he very happy to learn that the North-west Passage' has been discovered by the Investigator, which event was de cided on the 26th October, 1850, by a sledge party over the ice, from the position the ship was frozen in; but, as in all probability my dispatch will be published, I do not think it necessary to trouble you with further details ; sufficient to say we have been most highly favoured, both as respects the health of all, having only lost one man, who accidentally poisoned himself about a fortnight since, as well as in being able to extend our search in quest of Sir John Franklin over a very large extent of coast, which was not hitherto known, and found in habited by a numerous tribe of Esquimaux, who had never, ere our arrival, seen the face of the white man, I and were really the most simple, interesting people ever met, living entirely by the chace, and having no weapons except those used for that object. The fiercer passions cf our nature appeared unknown—they gave me a pleasing idea of man fresh from his Maker's hands, and uncontaminated by intercourse with our boasted civilisation. All those Who / traded with the Com pany we found the greatest reprobates. On the 7th of this month I left the Investigator, and arrived on board here on the nth, and was • received by Capt. Kellett with such a welcome as none but •a generous Irish heart could give ; indeed, the kindness we have received from all amply repays the toil, difficulties, dangers, and priva tions which for three years we have endured. If the country and Admiralty only view our services with 'but a small portion of the interest which those we have met evince, there will be little left to complain of. • . • Every exertion is now being made to follow up the traces of poor Sir John Franklin, and, if no thing is met with by the numerous parties that are now traversing the shores of this inhospitable and incle ment country, nought will ever be heard to throw alight upon his mysterious fate, and search will have arrived at its utmost limits. I know eiothing of the Enterprise, 44* * 10. , and can only regret her leaving us. - V
