AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. LIVERPOOL, JIILY 3. By the Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Stone com mander, we have advices from New York to the 21st and Boston to the 22d ult. She has brought 170 pas sengers and $544,000 in specie on freight. On the 26th at 12 30 a.m. she passed the steam er Africa, hence for New York ; on the Ist the ship Conqueror, bound east; and on the 2d, the ships Continent, Argyll, and Ame rica ; and at 11 p.m. the steamer Arabia, hence for New York. The steamer Humboldt arrived at New York from Havre and Cowes on the 21st ult. The steam-ship Yacht had arrived at New Orleans with Rio Grande dates to the 4th ult., and $124,339 in speck. Unusual quiet prevailed at Brownsville and other frontier cities. Most of the Filibusters had dis persed. The opening ceremonies at the New York Crystal Palace are expected to take place on the 15th inst. Upwards of $2,000 had been subscribed at New Or leans for the unfortunate passengers of the ship William and Mary, wrecked on her passage from Liverpool for New Orleans. A new yacht named Silvie, of 105 tons, sailed from New Rochelle for England on the 18th ult., for the pur pose of contending for the prize at the Cowes Regatta on the 2d of August next. The Silvie was built by Mr. George Steers, the builder of the America, and is said to be a much faster sailer than the latter vessel. A dispatch, dated Washington, the 21st inst., says, "The firm yet conciliatory representations of Mr. Marcy have produced a suspension on the part of the English against the fishing vessels in the disputed waters, and there is now a clear prospect of a speedy and satisfactory adjustmeit of the di ffi culty." The coroner's inquest upon the victims of the Gavazzi riots at Montreal was proceeding, but no new facts had been elicited. Havannah advices of the 14th ult. state that large numbers of slaves still continued to be landed on the island. The number of slaves imported during the pre sent year were, in January, 640 ; February, 803 ; March, 1,820 ; April, 997 ; May, 2,007 ; and June (in 14 days), 2,732. It was rumoured that General Cordova was soon to supersede General Canedo as Governor of Cuba. The famous slaver Lady Suffolk had arrived and landed 1,160 slaves on the south coast. She sailed from Africa with upwards of 1,300 on board, but the vessel was so crowded that they were glad to throw the sickly and dead over board. Upwards of 100 more died while marching from the place of disembarcation to Julian Zulieta's estate. Business generally was dull. Advices from Nassau, N.P., to the 28th of May, state that a slaver had been captured a few days pre vious near Key Sal by one of her Majesty's vessels. A Spanish slaver had landed a cargo of 600 slaves near Matanzas. From the city of Mexico we have advices to the 4th ult. The death of Senor Alaman, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was looked upon as a political calamity. The salary of the Minister to London had been raised $15,000 per annum. Private letters state that the number of persons killed in the late revolt at Vera Cruz was 70, and the number of wounded 130. Many ar rests had been made, but the city was quiet, at last ac counts. The Mexican foreign Legations had been offi cially announced as follows :--London, Senor Lanzas ; Paris, Senor Pacheco ; Madrid, Senor Vivo ; Berlin, General Uraga ' • Rome, Senor La rra i nzar ; an d Wash ington, General Almonte. - From Valparaiso we have accounts to the 14th, and Peru to the 2dth of May. The yellow fever was raginm ' at Lima and Call ao . B us i ness along the coast dull, provisions high, and money scarce. Peru continued to make prepratiolis for conducting the contemplated war against Bolivia, though no open declaration had been made. Very little business had been transacted in the New York stock market, and most descriptions had declined. Money in good demand, and plentiful at 5 to 7 per cent. Exchange on London, 109 to 1091 ' • Paris, a. 15c. to sf. 121 c. ; A ms t er d am , 41i t o 411 ; Frankfort, 49 to 41. The cotton market was very dull at a decline of ic. to Re. per lb On all grades under middling. Flour in good demand at firm prices. Wheat firm, and in re quest at 112 c. per bushel for red Ohio. Indian corn in good demand. sales of 20,090 bushels had been made — at 65c. for mixed western ; 62c. to 63c. for southern mixed ; and 58c. to 61c. for damaged and heated. Naval stores dull. In provisions no alteration. Scotch pig iron $2B to $29 cash, and X3O to $3l six months. Freights to London and Havre without change. AUSTRALIA. The letters and newspapers brought to England by the steam-ship Melbourne, from Australia, were delivered on Saturday, shortly after four o'clock. We publish the following interesting intelligence from a supple:nent of the Soutk Australian fiegzster, dated March 18, 1853 :-- ADELAIDE, 18TH MAncu, 1853. Our last summary was published on the 10th of January, for transmission by the Chusan steamer to Singapore, which sailed early on the morning of that day. . The Government returns of imports and exports forthe quarter ended 25th Dec. last are of a very satisfactory character. During that period the exports produced in the colony (exclusive of coin and bullion) exceeded the imports consumed or remaining for consumption, by no less a sum than 55,1471. Os. The excess of exports for the entire year is also remarkable. The imports (exclusive of coin and bullion) amounted to 538,9931. 2s. 8d ; but the imports re-exported were valued at no less a sum than 300,9531. ss. 7d. ; so that the imports consumed or remaining for consumption in tue colony did not exceed 238,019/. 15s. ld. ; whilst our exports for the entire year (exclusive of coin and bullion, and of imported goods re-exported) present tin. astonishing aggregate of 736,267/. 175. Being a surplus of 48,4831. 16s. 3d. A note appended to the quarterly statement mentions that the sum of 28,523/. has been remitted to the Land and Emigration Commissioners to be expended on immigration. The various quarterly returns furnish the following results of the entire year : Ordinary revenue ..• Gold escort and assay office dues £102,327 6 7 19,711 2 5 121,137 16 5 Land fund receipts - ...

This is a most gratifying fact to record,. as it exhibits in a very striking light the complete reaction which has taken place in the general condition of the colony, and her signal recovery from the frightful state of paralysis under which she was suffering this time twelve month, in consequence of so large a proportion of the population employed in home production. The following is the oil icial return, by the immigration agent, of the average wages of mechanics and others, in South Australia, for the three months ended the 31st December, 1852 : Blacksmiths, 120. to 145..

(From the Times.) Although the impending occupation of the Da nubian Principalities by Russia has been discussed and anticipated by Europe for a period of several weeks, the near approach of this event has not diminished its importance, but has rather increased the anxiety with which its consequences must be regarded. We still speak of it as an event impend ing, but not consummated, because great doubt was attached to the intelligence transmitted to us from Vienna, that 12,000 Russians had. actually entered Jassy on the 25th, and the Austrian Go vernment has since contradicted that statement. According to the more precise information which we have received from St. Petersburg, it was not till the 25th that the order to cross the Pruth had been given by the Emperor. Whatever may en sue, the people of this country will require, and they have a right to require, full and honest proof that nothing has been left undone by which war could be avoided ; that the Government sedulously abstained from mixing itself up, in questions of foreign interest, such as that of the Holy Places, until the general obligations of Europe and our own interests and engagements were proved to be at stake ; that even then our interposition was conciliatory, not menacing ; and that we adhered throughout to the explicit declarations given in her Majesty's name at an early period of these trans actions. Nay, should the Principalities be occupied by Russia—as they perhaps are in part at this moment—we still hope that a collision may be avoided long enough at least to afford time for a fresh attempt at negotiation. But, should all this fail, should all these delays on the part of Russia turn out to be no more than the disguised prepara tions of a long-conceived and deliberately executed plan of aggression on the part of the Emperor Nicholas, then, indeed, we do not think so meanly of our countrymen or of the British Parliament as to doubt that they will display the same union and determitation which has often borne us through far greater trials. No doubt it would be easy for the Emperor Nicholas even Dow to accept the guarantees which the Porte gives to its Christian subjects and to ter minate the dispute, if such were his desire. But it is difficult to pass in review the circumstances of this quarrel without arriving at the conclusion that he who thought fit to begin it will not think fit to end it here or now. The utter insufficiency of the alleged causes of resentment against Turkey, espe cially after satisfaction had been obtained on the only tangible grievances complained of, suggests that other and deeper motives . must he at work. As long as we had reason to believe that the object of Prince Menschikoff's mission was to settle the dispute about the Holy Places o r even to obtain a fresh declaration of immunities to the Christian Churches, these matters lay within the ordinary compass of diplomacy. But the concentration of armies on the frontier, the review at Odessa, the demeanour of the Envoy and his reception at Con stantinople awakened other suspicions. He seems to have been sent not so much to obtain a treaty as to pick a quarrel. What he seems most to have wanted was a refusal, and to have obtained all he asked would probably have been to fail in his en terprise. There exist at the Court of St. Petersburgh in the Russian empire two parties, which are broadly distinguished by their respective descent from the German or Baltic provinces of the empire, or from the old Muscovite stock. A large proportion of the statesmen who have done honour t o the policy of the empire belong to the former class —among them Prince Lieven Count Nesselrode, M. de Benkendorf, M. de 'Meyendorf, Baron Brunow, Baron Krudener, and many others. The reigning , house of Russia is itself divided by only two gene rations from its German origin, and the Emperor Alexander never concealed his prediliction for men who streng,thened his connection with the manners and ideas of Western Europe. The Emperor Ni cholas has pursued an opposite course. His policy has been to identify himself with the passions, the peculiarities, the political aspirations, and the reli gious fanaticism of the Muscovites, and, far more than his Ministers, he has adopted the spirit which he chose to represent. His second and favourite son, the Grand Duke Constantine has espoused the same great national party, with even greater fana ticism and intensity than the Emperor; and in both of them the cause of the Church and of the Empire finds . a champion, a nd perhaps an instrument. It is certain that the strong ambition of this party, inflamed by religious enthusiasm and the p ride o f a dominant race, has for years past been directed to the present year as the fourth centenary of the overthrow of the Greek Empire, and to Constan tinople as the prize of war ; and, whatever may be the intrinsic worthlessness of such mystical asso ciations and prophecies, it will not be denied that they contribute to the feeling which may lead to their fulfilment. In the impassioned judgment of these men, the circular of Count Nesselrode, whieh has been condemned in the rest of Europe for its illogical temerity, is denounced as a feeble and un worthy declaration of Russian supremacy. War, in the shape in which it is presented to them is not an invasion, but a crusade ; a nd the q uestion of the Holy Places, combined with a claim to the protection of the Greek Church, are precisely the subjects most calculated to kindle their ardour. If, in an evil hour for the work and for himself, the Emperor Nicholas has roused this spirit, which it is beyond his power to curb and subdue—if, as we have reason to fear, the advance of the army is accom panied with fresh appeals to the pride and daring of the nation, this calamitous and destructive force may break forth and lead to the most deplorable conse quences. Such passions are just aslawlessaud hostile to the best interests ofmankind as those revolutionary commotions to which the Emperor Nicholas con ceives his policy to be diametrically opposed ; and it matters but little whether the world is threa tened by the intemperate proselytism of the French Convention, or by the popular superstitions and barbarous irruptions of the Muscovite race. The triumph of might over right, and of force over law, especially when it is assisted by popular excite ment, is the essence of political revolution, and, paradoxical as it sounds, the Emperor Nicholas is rapidly becoming the chief enemy of the established order of things in Europe. That is our chief dan ger, for the revolution which he represents is armed with enormous military forces and directed by absolute power. But, on the other hand, as its ambition is insatiable, this spirit once let loose must sooner or later come into collision with the constituted rights of other nations, and, if Europe remain united and true to her common interests and duties, she has it now in her power to pre scribe to ussia those limitations which that empire seems at present so little disposed to respect. (Pram, tlic Examiner. ) Since the publication of the Nesselrode ultimatis simum, there can no longer remain a doubt of the occupation of the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia by Russian troops. And never certainly since the days of the partition of Poland was there a more unconstitutional or insolent attack upon a weak and almost unresisting neighbour. That Russia, in full peace, without provocation should thus wantonly take a step seriously me nacing the independence of the Porte, de priving it of the allegiance and resources of two of its provinces, and destroying the loyalty or at least the tranquillity of a third province, that of Bulgaria, is surely something that calls for a seri ous resolution on the part of the western powers of Europe. If Russia be now, allowed to occupy the Turkish provinces without let or inconvenience to herself, it will become a rule that she 'may oc cupy them at any time hereafter without war. A. frontier province which a country may seize with out without giving a pretext for resistance. may indeed be considered as already appertaining to that country. But this occupation not only threatens the Turkish territories north of the Bal kan, it threatens Constantinople itself. It is quite idle now to say that the Turk is to be left to the responsibility of his own acts, and is free to consider the passage of the Pruth as war or not war. All the world knows that the Sultan will be guided by the advice of France and Eng land. If the Sultan tolerate the . insult and accept the invasion, the announcement to the entire East will be that the maritime powers dare teeth notof b of the W es t qua il b e f ore R uss ia ; and, in the therinwg up their provocation of that power, their fleets to Constantinople. If this be the end, all we can say is, that we have indulged much vapouring and' a large expense for no purpose, except to render more manifest our impotence and our pusillanimity. We have either the right and the power to defend the Turkish empire from Russia, or we have not. If we, that France and England, have the power as well as the right, now is the time to ezercise it. Never again in the lapse of years will such another oppor tunity occur. If some certain limit be not now fix e d to Russian advanc es, we may take for granted that every limit will be oversteppci. We have now the opportunity-, as we have the right and assage of ePk the power to declare , that the p by the Russians, witho ut any pretext nt to se th in any treaty, is a breac h of the prf be ttlein kni ' uth ent of Europe, and requires instant in n te e er s e im ncAt s o t provide against its consequences. in precaution is that of the allie d fleets anchornry the Bosphorus. It is an act tha t reall y does in no wise menace Russia, or cripple her resources. It is ✓ery far from an ample set-off to the in vasion of the P▪ rincipalities. But it is an act that would address it self to the invaded poP lationg, and would make manifest to the world and to - Russia that the Western Powers are not prepared to permit; t he conquest a n d appropr i at i on of the Turkish capital and the empire. Let that be done, and we shall have no war. Let it be not done, let Russia push her soldiers to the foot of the Balkan with impu nity, and there dictate terms, as to the Sultan she alleges it to be her intention, and the Western Powers give up ipso facto the interests for which they *ere arming, and all declare all their remon strances and threats to be mere idle vatouring. The same conduct of Russia since February is inexplicable, except upon the generally-believed supposition that there is a powerful party in the empire which is growing impatient, and which blaanes Nicholas for being so dilatory in pushing forward his means of conquest. It is a war party that sent and supports Prince Menchikoff, and, if it triumph, if it can exhibit to the Czar the Western Powers aban doning Turkey, or some of the best provinces of Tur key, to the invader, it will acquire fresh spirit, insol ence, and hardihood, and fresh national support for more audacious advances. If, on the other hand, the position taken up by this party can be shown to have put Russia at a disadvantage, and to have led to measures which must permanently render the capital of Turkey secure against an in vasion from the Black Sea, then the more rational and tolerant statesmen of Russia will resume the sway, and we shall have to deal with a rational European rival instead of with a barbarous Asiatic antagonist. SERIOUS COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT OLDHAM. On Friday afternoon a shocking and most fatal explo sion of gas occurred at the coal mine of Mr. Butter worth, Bent Grange Colli er y , Oldham, resulting in 17 deaths-15 of the colliers (men and boys) having been killed at once, and two having died subsequently. The accident occurred about 3 o'clock, and was accompanied by a very loud report. The gas is believed to have been fired in a level running in a westerly direction from the main road, and about 300 yards from the shaft. Some men had been working in this level on Thursday night, making a roadway ; and the men whose places were near it were cautioned to be very careful during the day, as the night men had of necessity moved a sheet which turned the air into the workings. It is said, however, that William Wild, one of the deceased, went to the spot immediately before the explosion with the top off his lamp, which was placed in his waggon. It is said to have been a practice for the men to work with the tops off their lamps, and to smoke when they pleased. An explosion occurred at this colliery on the 9th of October, 1850, when 15 persons were killed. At that time there was only one shaft, which was divided by a brattice for the purpose of ventilation, but a second shaft near to the existing one was being sunk. This shaft was completed in February, 1851, and has since been used as the downcast pit. The old shaft is the upcast, and a current of air through the mine is secured by a steam jet, the pipe from one of the boi lers bein g carried 35 yards below the surface. Each of the shafts is about 220 yards deep. The coal got is known as the ilyley Mine ; it is- about 21t. 10in. thick, with about 18 Jn. of " bass." The mine is said to be very free from " faults," and to be fully an average one as to freedom from gas. We subjoin a list of the' 17 persons who have been killed by the explosion, with such names of the sufferers as could be ascertained, many of those brought out alive being at their homes, of whose present state no particu lars have yet been obtained. The following is .a list of the killed lying at the Abbey Inn : Elkanah Howarth,•Booth-end-lane - ; aged 30, wife and three children. " •• • • Samuel A.F.hwoi - tb, Cow-hill, 43, wife and five children. William Wild,lßoYton, 22, single. John Jones; Red-town-nook, 30, wife and child. Robt.lam, Middleton, 24, wife and three children. Joseph; Haikyard, Royton, 35, wife and four children. Robert Crookson, Royton, 28, wife and three children. Joseph Jackson (did riot work in the pit), Coldhurst, 20, single. Samuel Ogden, He,gginshaw 35, wife and five children. Si m eon Sinii,h; I 1 b, 38, wife, but no children. Henry Kershaw; North Moor, 21, single. James Kershaw, (his, father), 44, wife and five children. George Whittaker, OldhaM, 21, single. Robert Mellor, Oldham, 50, wife and two children. William Fitton, Oldham, 35, wife and five children. Of those who have died.in. their houses in Royton are —Nathaniel Gill, 30, widower, one child ; and Luke Brierley, 10, drawer's assistant. Among the injured are— • • Robert Mellor, a lad, very much bruised, burnt, and sufferinr , fro:a the afterdamp; not expected to recover. Joseph Hailsworth, a young married man, with one child, severely burnt ou the - shoulder. Edward Butter.vorth, 18, much bruised and blown. Bricrley and San2nel Wild, two lads, suffering much from afterdanip, and also " blown" when got out, but much better to-day. Richard Crookson (brother to Robert, one of the de ceased, bruised, and suffering from afterdamp. Gill and. Brierley died early on Saturday morning, there having been no holie of their recovery ; most of the other unfortunate men were dead when they were got out of the pit. The last dead bodies were brought out between half-past 11 and 12 o'clock on Friday night; and, although some parts of the mine have not yet been examined, the underlooker was confident that none of the men were missing, on Saturday afternoon. Mr. T. F. F. Dearden, coroner for the Rochdale . dis• trict, opened the inquest upon the bodies at the Abbey Inn, about 3 o'clock, but nothing could be done beyond the identification of the bodies ; and the inquiry was ad journed until the receipt of a reply from the Secretary of State, relative to an inspector being sent down. THE' VONDON, Mo_3II:DA Y EVENING- 1 JULY 4,...-18t3, ANOTHER COLLIERY EXPLOSION. We regret to record , two more accidents of a fatal character in coal mines. The more serious one was that which took place on Friday from an explosion of fire damp at the Bowling Company's works, Softshaw-bot toms, near Bradford. It appears that a number of men were at work as usual, when, some of them going into a part of the pit where there was a quantity of foul air, a n explosion took place, attended with all its fearful consequences. On searching the pit the bodies of two boys, named respectively Wm. Lee and Thomas Gar side were found dead, the one from having b een seri ously shaken and burnt, and the other from exhaustion and suffocation. Three other men, who were working in that part of the pit where the explosion occurred, were also seriously injured ; but under skilful medical treatment they are progressing favourably. Another casualty occurred at the Park Pits, Worsbrougb, within a short time of that which took place at Elsecar, on Thursday last. The deceased, whose name was George Earnshaw, was working in the pit as usual, when a quantity of coal fell upon him and killed him on the spot. LAMBETH BATHS AND WASHOUSES.—This important establishment in the Westminster-road is so far com pleted, that the two large swimming-baths were opened to the public on Saturday last. They are the most ex tensive in England • and as they are supplied with t e p id water continually iowing, and as the comfort of visitors has been especially studied, the inhabitants of Lambeth parish—which is by far the most extensive in the metro politan district—may now congratulate themselves upon the possession of advantages similar to those previously enjoyed by other parishes in London, who had taken the lead in this important sanitary movement. The Archbishop of. Canterbury, and the Bishop of Winches ter, have taken great interest in the undertaking, which enjoys also the personal support of many of the large manufacturing and building firms in the neighbourhood, among whom stand prominent Messrs. Mandalay, Baker, Myers, Peto, Grissell, Haward and Nixon, and others. The possession of good Swimming-baths is an advantage not usually enjoyed by the frequenters of these establish. ments, which will doubtless tend much to the popularity of the Lambeth institution. Another feature peculiar to it is the establishment of an infant school in connec tion with the laundries, where children will be taken care of during the time the mothers are occupied in the wash-houses, it having been found that the disinclination of the parents to leave young children at home unat tended has often prevented the poorer classes from avail ing themselves of the facilities afforded by institutions like the present. The peculiar adaptation of the situa tion has enabled this public improvement to be carried out at a cost which it is expected will, considering the advantages attained, be much below that of any similar establishment. FIRE AND SHIPWRECK.—Letters brought by the Mel bourne and 'other mail steamers, announce the loss of three English ships, two by fire, and the other, from Adelaide, on a reef of rocks some hundred miles west ward of the Cape of Good Hope. The latter was at tended with lamentably fatal results. The vessel was the Barbara Gordon, belonging to Swansea, bound to London, with a cargo, consisting of 181 bales of wool, 100 tons of copper, and other articles. She had on board the following passengers :—Mr. and Mrs. Radish, and son, of Liverpool ; Mrs. Hay, belonging to York. shire ; and Mrs. Dalton, of Wansworth. On the night of the sth of Ap ril last ';he got upon a reef near Cape St Agulhas, arising, it was presumed, from a strong cur rent carrying her ashore. Her boats were carried away the same night, by seas which swept the decks. Some ten hours afterwards, the Captain, finding the weather was moderating, had a raft formed, in order to reach the shore. In the first attempt, the mate and four of the crew succeeded in . gaining the land. On the second, however, when the passengers got on i t, the heavy sea capsized it, and the whole of them perished, in view of the master and remainder of the crew, who were unable to render them the least possible aid. In the course of the succeeding day the vessel became a total wreck. She was fully insured. The other ships were the Alciope, Captain Lewis, master, in the East India trade, bound to Liver Pool, and the Gondar. The former was from Calcutta, and when in lat. 11 N., long. 88 E., she was struck by lightning, which set fire to the cargo, and became quickly in' flames. The crew escaped by means of the boats, which were picked up by the brig Genev?. The destruction of the Gondar took place at Charlestown, on the 18th of last month, while she was loading. She had on board at the time 1,800 bales of cotton, and 373 barrels of resin. The crew all escaped. NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN.—A special general meet , ing of the sliareholderFi of the above company was held on Saturday, at the Guildhall Coffee-house, Gresham street, City, for taking into consideration the draft of a bill to enable the Newry and Enniskillen Company to extend their landing quay to the Belfast Junction Rail way, and for other business; Mr. Spackman, sen., occu purely formal, and a The e of meeting th e d was r aft of the bill was unani mously agreed t ovi T o. n resolution p iedthe6L a ai pp r. r NAVA. tENCE. non-commissioned officers and men of the Woolwich division, doing duty at the barracks here, assembled to day in heavy marching order for the inspection of the Commandant of the garrison. Colonel E. C. Whin yates, C. 8., Commandant, accompanied by Colonel Willis, Inspector of D r ill s , an d B r i ga d e -M a j or Bi ng h am, Royal Artillery, arrived at 11 o'clock, and was received by Colonel Ellis, C. 8., Colonel-Commandant of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, the line presenting arms and the band playing, as usual on such occasions. The inspection then commenced, and was carried through with great minuteness. The barracks and offices were also inspected, including the record-books ; and subse quently the hospital, over which the Commandant was conducted by Dr. 0. Evans, Deputy Inspector of Hos pitals. In the afternoon Colonel Whinyates witnessed the men go through their ship-gun drill exercises, which concluded the inspection of as fine and useful a body of men as there is in the service. The Commandant and several of the officers of the garrison dined with the officers of the Royal Marines in their mess-room in the evening. His Majesty the King of Hanover has been gracously pleased to grant a pension of 201. per annum for life to Gunner James Moffat, of Captain Gilbert's troop of Royal Horse Artillery, who lost his hand by accident when firing at-the review on the common on Friday last. His Majesty has also been pleased to express his inten tion to obtain such a situation as Gunner Moffat may be found qualified to fill on his arm being healed. It was a singular coincidence that his Majesty should have ob served to Colonel Colquhoun, when in the Arsenal in the early part of the day, his surprise that the double headed sponge used in the Hanoverian artillery was not introduced into the British service, as it was found to be a great improvement, and less liable to accidents. One of the Hanoverian officers in attendance on his Majesty went and placed a phrse, containing 30 sove reigns, into the left hand of Gunner Moffat while he was 'being placed on the stretcher for conveyance on men's shoulders to the hospital. Gunner Moffat has been 14 years in the service, which entitles him to a pen sion of 6d. per day, and the loss of his hand while in the performance of his duty will entitle him to an additional 6d. ; consequently, with his Majesty's annuity, he will be well provided for, especially if able to fill a situation. No. 4, the gunner whose duty it was to stop the vent of the gun with his thumb, has been placed under arrest until a court of inquiry as to the cause of the accident takes place ; and No. 5, who fired the gun, when he witnessed the accident fell down in a fit, being quite young in the service, and had to be conveyed on a stretcher to the hospital, where he has remained ever since. OFFICIAL RETURN OF CORPORAL PUNISH• MENTS IN THE NAVY. A Parliamentary paper has been published stating the number of persons flogged in the navy annually since 1847. The order of the House of Commons is dated April 7, and it was only cn the Ist of June that the re turn was ordered to be printed. The order should certainly have been in the printer's hands within a week. The returns are imperfectly given ; but if what are furnished are not " cooked," as most Admiralty reports are, there is reason for much congratulation on the an nual decline of the number of punishments. We can not help . remarking that corporal punishments have materially decreased since Admiral Dundas's scheme for the reduction of the allowance of spirits has been carried into effect. There is now, however, too much flogging where there ought to be none ; and we again refer to the fact that there is no corporal punishment in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's service, so ably superintended by . Lieut. Engledue ; the majority of seamen in that ser vice are old men-of-war's men, and there can be no question as to the perfect state of discipline on board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ships. In that service the greatest punishment that can happen to a seaman is his dismissal from it.. The men are well paid, well fed, are most steady and respectable, and are neither bullied nor flogged. Why should not our sea men of the Royal navy be as well treated I" 1848.. 1849. 1850. 1850. 11852. Total number of punishments 1,363 1,087 967 042 I 578 Ditto; lashes 40,545 32,446 27, 291 26,587 I 17,571 We shall take an early opportunity of dissecting these returns. It will be seen that in the course of five years, 4,837 British seamen, marines, and boys, have been flogged like hounds---:some of them, no doubt very de servedly ; and the total number of lashes inflicted was 144,440, which, being multiplied by nine—the number of tails of the cat, and all of which hits the unf or t una t e victim with as much 'force as a powerful man can hurl them on his back—gives the number of lashes as nearly one million three hundred thousand.—Morning .Herald.

At the Oval—The North v. the South. From the year when this match was first played, it has on each succeeding occasion proved one of the most attractive, as well as best of the season. But in this instance there is an infusion of several players rather new, but with no small reputation in the provinces. This circumstance will, therefore, give additional interest to the match, over and above the fact, that all "the Eleven of Eng land" will take part in the proceedings. We can hardly doubt but that the Oval, capacious as it is, will be over flowing. FRIDAY. At Lords'—The above match resumed. At the Oval—The above match resumed. At Hampstead—Hampstead v. Sydenham. ►SATURDAY. At Lords'—The above match concluded. At the Oval—The above match concluded. The Gentlemen v. the Players—There is a far greater amount of interest attached to the Gentleman's matches at Lords' this week than usual, because, from those who take part in the two matches, viz., the Gentlemen of England v. the Gentlemen of Kent, and the Gentlemen of the Marylebone Club v. the Gentlemen of England, it is proposed by the committee of the M. C. C. to elect the eleven who shall fight the battle with the Players on the 18th inst. We have a right to presume, therefore, that each gentleman will "strain a nerve on the deed." NATIONAL ORPHAN HOME.—The first anniversary festival of this excellent institution, which now promises to take its stand amongst the first of the many charitable and philanthropic asylums of the metropolis and its vicinity, was celebrated on Saturday, at the Star and Garter, Richmond. Lord John Russell, M.P., whose residence in the vicinity of the asylum at Ham-common, near Richmond, had interested him in the institution, which is much indebted to his personal influence as one of its earliest patrons, had intended, in accordance with previous announcements, to preside upon this occasion. Unfortunately, however, a letter was received from his lordship enclosing a handsome donation, and stating that, having received her Majesty's command to be pre sent at Buckingham Palace that evening, he was unable to attend the festival. Mr. Cowan presided. He ob served that the existing orphan asylums were either full or unableirom other circumstances to make special provision for these cases of affliction. A clergyman in London had long been anxious to find an asylum for the orphan children of domestic servants, as well as for the working classes generally, and his proposals having been placed before a benevolent gentleman, who had witnessed with pain the disappointments and difficulties attending the admission; of many deserving applicants to the existing asylums, it was thought that the opportunity was a fit ting one for opening the Home. At this ge ntleman 's sole cost, commodious premises at Ham-common were purchased, and invested in trustees for the purposes of the Home, which was at once opened for the reception of female orphans whose parents had died of cholera, and 36 children, whose sudden bereavement appeared to furnish an immediate claim, were admitted. RICHARD DUNN V. MISS BURDETT COUTTS.—Richard Dunn has just obtained an order for hearing from the Insolvent Debtors' Court, to be brought up on the 22d inst., on his application to be discharged front White cross-street Prison, where he is at present confined at the suit of Miss Burdett Coutts. It will be recollected that Dunn brought an action to recover 100,0001. of Miss Coutts, which he alleged was as a compensation for the persecution he had suffered. He failed in the aciton, and is now in prison for the costs he had put the lady to in defending the action. There are some extraordinary statements in the schedule. Dunn attri butes his insolvency to " the cruel and unabated perse cution he has suffered." He persists that he has a claim of 100,0001. on the lady, and has entered her as a debtor for the amount, which he states he believes to be a " good debt." Dunn is his own attorney in the application to the Court. STATE OF TRADE. (Front the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.) MANCHESTER, July I.—The present week has brought no intelligence tending to a solution of the question be tween Russia and Turkey ; and the prolonged uncer tainty which surrounds so momentous a matter continues to depress the tone and limit the business of our market. In the American accounts, there is nothing to affect us one way or other. Cotton remains perfectly firm in the southern ports ; while the reports respecting the weather are still favourable from some districts and un favourable from ethers. Under these circumstances, an undiminished caution characterises the action of our merchants and dealers. Without any reference indeed to the danger of war, the buyers for India and China are entirely at a stand.. Their hands are tied up by the rebellion in the latter country, and by the discourag ing advices from Bombay and Calcutta. Notwithstand ing these causes of depression, however, a remarkable firmness of price prevails both in yarns and goods. This is least observable in such as are particularly adapted to the Eastern trade ; yet, even in them, there is no quotable giving way. The fact is, that our market derives sufficient strength from the vast development of the home consumption which is now in progress, to be able to bear the present restriction of the foreign demand. And besides this, the suspension of labour in numerous mills, and the tendency to a higher cost of production through advanced wages and reduced hours of work, are powerfully contributing to sustain prices at the present moment. It may be briefly stated that the value of export yarn at large is fully sustained, and that spinnings for home con sumptiou have rather an upward tendency. The actual and threatened turn-outs in connection with 14's to 18's warps and pin-cops have indeed led to so many offers from the consumers, as to have added Ad. per lb. to the value of the latter, and ad. to the former, within the last day or two. At such advances, those spinners who feel inclined to do so may readily take orders, espe cially for speedy d e li ver y. Doubled yarns are also higher, in consequence of an augmented demand, as are also some numbers for Russia. The rise in coarse yarns is increasing the upward bias in the prices of domestics and other cloths made from such materials. GLASGOW, JULY I.—The market has been steady dur ing_the week, with ou t any c h ange in pr i ces. BRADFORD, JUNE 30.--Wool: There is very little doing in any kinds of combing wools. The spinners are disinclined to buy at the prices sought. The supply coming to market is very limited, and the quantity of old wool here in some of the staplers' hands, is greater than at one period was expected. Yarns : There is no change in either demand or price ; and no one is disposed to spin except to actual order, as the current price's are ruinous. Pieces—There is no change since last week. If the differences between Turkey and Russia were adjuited, there is no doubt but our business would be very active. NOTTINGHAM, June 30.—The lace trade, although by no means brisk, may be considered in a sound and healthy state. Chiefly owing to the high price of mate rial preventing stocks being made on speculation, and the constant change of patterns required, make machine holders generally unwilling to produce the more expen sive goods, except to order ; this being a quieter and safer mode of doing business, there is the less maid about it, besides possessing the advantage of lessening that ruinous competition so often prevailing when the same patterns are finished by different houses.—For the better class of hosiery goods there is a fair demand, and orders have in many instances to be placed several months in advance of the execution. LEICESTER, June 30.—The demand for the higher sorts of worsted goods is dull, as is usual at this season of the year, but low priced articles, both in cotton and worsted are in good request, with shipping orders still under execution. Worsted yarns are firm. ADMIRALTY LEVEE.—The following officers attended the levee of Sir James Graham at Whitehall on Saturday :—Rear Admirals—Harvey, Sir J. Rowley, and Sir J. Stirling ; Captains —P. J. Blake, J. Adams, R. C. M'Crea, J. Denman, W. Nevill, Thomas Dickenson, Thomas Furber, and Thomas Baillie ; Commanders—D. Edwards, E. Wilson, R. Phillips, W. Gennys, and P. Maingay ; Lieutenants— W. Scrymgour, C. Dyke, G. W. Webber, G. F. Wells, G. W. Rabett, W. Blenkarne, W. B. Amiel, and B. P. Priest ; Messrs. J. Elliot and J. Duff. Sir James Graham discontinue his levies after Saturday next, the 9th inst. Commander James Spratt died at Teignmouth, in the 83d year of his age. This veteran officer is the father of Commander Spratt, now in command of the Spitfire, steam surveying vessel, in the Mediterranean. The Rev. S. K. Stothert, 8.A., has been appointed chaplain of her Majesty's steam guard-ship La Hogue, stationed at Devonport. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 2. We stated last week the probability of a review or in spection, provided the squadrons are not wanted else where. We believe it to be the present intention of her Majesty and the Prince Albert, with their Royal guests, to visit this port on Thursday next. Should this be the case, it will be a sight such as has never been seen before in any part of the world, and will doubtless draw thousands to witness the evolutions of this powerful squadron of war steamers, a force fit to cope with double their number of sailing ships. We will hope for a fine day and a good breeze. THE SPITHEAD FLEET. —Yesterday morning this fleet changed position, and formed three lines. At 6 a.m. the paddle-steamers Sidon, Odin, Leopard, and Banshee lighted fires and got up steam. At 7 o'clock the Prince Regent loosed sails, and got under weigh, followed by the paddle-steamers, the former anchoring at 8 p.m. off Ryde, while the steamers proceeded and laid to in Stokes Bay, where they remained till the rest of the ships had weighed and taken their stations in the following order : Wellington, Imperieuse, Highflyer, Agamemnon, Edin burgh, Hogue, Ajax, Amphion, London, Encounter, and Blenheim. On anchoring, the Prince Regent, Agamem non, Hogue, Edinburgh, Imperieuse, and Highflyer formed the weather line, and th e D u k e of Wellington, London, Blenheim, Ajax, Amphi on , a n d E nc ounter formed the lee line, after which the paddle-steamers dropped down, and towed up some of the leewardmost ships, they having anchored too wide apart. The Sidon has sprung her mainmast, and is compelled to strike lower yards and topmast in consequence. - The Conflict, 8, screw sloop, got her steam up yester day morning for the purpose of going out to make another trial of the Boomerang screw ; but had no sooner started than some part of her machinery gave way, and the attempt was once more abandoned. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, was taken out yesterday morn ing by Captain Crispin, for a cruise, to try her engines, with steam jets fitted in her furnaces by Colonel Coffin, for the purpose of proving the anthracite coal. The yacht brought up at Spithead for the night, and pro ceeded to the westward early this morning. The Thomas Arbuthnot freight-ship passed through Spithead last evening for the Thames, from Quebec, having landed a detachment of the 20th Regiment at Southampton. Captain Milne, one of the junior Lords of the Ad miralty, arrived at this port last evening, and Rear- Admiral Fanshawe re-hoisted his flag on board the Nep tune last evening, having returned from leave. The Sidon, 22, paddle, Captain Geo. Goldsmith.— This most unfortunate vessel is again hors de combat, not the fault of " looberly " engineers this time ; but it was found out yesterday afternoon that her main mast was badly sprung. She signalled for the carpen ters of the different ships to repair on board and exa mine. She will require a new mast before she can put to sea. She has consequently struck her maintopmast, fore-topgallantmast, &c., and has a most mournful look amongst the rest of the squadron. The Arrogant, 40, Captain S. G. Fremantle, will go to the measured mile on Monday, to test her new boilers and Speed, and will afterwards join the squadron at Spithead. The Cyclops, paddle, Master M. Rennaud, with a partrof dockyard artisans, from Woolwich, under the direction of the assistant master attendant Mr. Pope, commenced landing the boilers of the Princess Royal nn Saturday, and her machinery. She will return to Wool wich on Tuesday for the remaining portion. PLYMOUTH, JULY 2, Orders were received yesterday at this arsenal for extra hands to be employed on the St. Jean d'Acre, 100, screw steam-ship, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, to facilitate her equipment with ali possible dispatch. Her engines and boilers are in a forward state, and it is expected she will be able to get up her steam on Friday. The crew of the Sybille, 40, Captain the lion. Charles G. J. B. Elliott, got up topgallantmasts yes terday. The following ships were spoken by the General Screw Steam-shipping Company s mail-packet Hydaspes, Captain 0. Greig, which arrived here this morning : On the 18th of April, in lat. 28 40 S. long. 41 47 E,, the barque Anna Maclean, from Java, Cowes ;on the 19th May, in lat. 18 2 S., long. 3 5 W., the French rque Jacques, from the Straits of Macassar, for Mar seilles ; on the 2d of June, in lat 4 4 N., long. 19 1 W., the barque Sagittarius, from Dartmouth, for Melbourne ; and on the same date, the Dutch barque Henrietta Kin zina, eutwardbound. The launching of the Algiers, 90, screw, which was to have taken place on the 19th instant, has been post poned in consequence of the desire to expedite the equip ment of the St. Jean d'Acre and Nile, of 100 guns and 90 guns, both screws ; for which purpose the men have been taken off the Algiers. The St. Jean d'Acre is to be supplied with a temporary fire-hearth, as the fitment of Grant's apparatus, as intended, would delay the com pletion of the ship. SHEERNESS, JULY 2. The Desperate, 8, screw steam-sloop, Captain William W. Chambers, completed taking in her stock of coals, and left here yesterday for Portsmouth. The Miranda, 14, screw steam-sloop, in command of Mr. George Williams, master, proceeded on a trial trip this morning. She was tried between the Mouse light-. vessel and the Nore light-vessel. Her speed by patent log was 1015, which was confirmed by the distance ground. The maximum revolutions of her engines were 29 per minute. Owing to the steam not being con stantly up, she was not kept at her full speed. The water was very smooth at the time, and the wind in force about 5. The screw was propelled at about three times the velocity of the engines by Gearing, which worked remarkably well. Her draught of water was— forward, 12 feet 3 inches, and aft, 12 feet 6 inches. The upper blade of the screw was about one foot above the water. The rate of 1015 knots is considered a remark ably high speed for an auxiliary power at such light immersion ; it is therefore confidently expected that her speed will not be materially diminished when at deep immersion, after she has received all her Stores, arma ment, &c. She has been berthed on the west shore, and is reported ready for the pendant. The Dutch East Indiaman Jan Hendrik, of Amster dam, Jan de Jong commander, from the island of Java, bound . for Amsterdam, having been on shore on the Goodwin Sands, and got off with loss of rudder, sails, &c., in a very leaky state, and assisted in here by two steam-tugs, was run on the mud on Lapwell for safety, but has this day been towed off by two Government steam-vessels, assisted by seamen from her Majesty's ships Monarch and Tribune, under the charge of Mr. John W. H. HarveY and Mr. Augustus F. Mungford, second masters, and berthed alongside the dockyard, preparatory to her being taken into dry dock on Monday next for discharge of cargo—coffee, sugar, &c., all damaged (the ship having had 10 feet water in her) ---all of which is to be discharged and deposited in the vic tualling stores in the yard • after which a survey on the hull and rigging is to be held by the professional officers of the yard, and the ship will be repaired so as to enable her to reship the sound portion of her cargo, and pro ceed to her port of destination. Most efficient assistance is being rendered by the Vice-Admiral, the Captain- Superintendent of the 'yard, and the port officers, in permitting seamen on hire to keep the pumps and dis charge the cargo. The cargo is nearly all out between decks, and deposited in store, about one-fourth of it being more or less damaged by sea water. The ship being lightened, her leaks have considerably decreased. The Barracouta, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Com mander George Parker, arrived here at 10.15 a.m. this day from the Arctic expedition, and has anchored in the harbour. Considerable anxiety was felt' here since the arrival of the Desperate, in consequence of the Barra couta having parted company, during a very heavy gale, from the squadron, and not having been fallen in with afterwards, all of which is, of course, now set at rest by her arrival. WOOLWICH, JULY 2, APPOINTMENTS. Commander.—Henry A. Kerr (1851) to command the Nerbudda, 12, brig, recently commissioned at Chatham. Lieutenants.—Elenry B.

Petley, of the Black Eagle steam-vessel ; and a sapphire ring, surrounded with eight fine diamonds, to Mr. Pym, Additional-Master in the Black Eagle ; and also 50/. to be divided among the crew of that vessel, in which he came over to England. The King and Queen of Hanover and their Royal children were much delighted with the crew of the Black Eagle during the voyage to this country ; the sailors having a fiddle on board, and the weather being remarkably fine, they ~ zof up a dance on deck, and were encouraged by their Majesties to enter with great spirit into the hilarity and humour so characteristic of the sailors dancing. An Order in Council has just been issued, detailing the superannuation allowances to engineers of the Royal navy :—lnspectors afloat are to receive from 1301. to to 1801. ; chief engineers, who have served 12 years in that rank, 1001. to 1301. ; after six years, 851. to 1051., and after three years, 751. to 90/. ; assistant-engineers, after 20 years' service, from 501. to 601., and after three years from 401. to 501.

E. Judkins, sailed from the Mersey for New York, with the usual mails for the United States and British possessions in North America, about eighty passengers, and a large and valuable cargo. SUSPECTED MURDER.—Considerable sensation has been caused in the town of Torquay, Devonshire, by the report of a mysterious murder of a child. It appears that h few days ago a package arrived at the South Devon Railway station, at Torquay, from Reading, in Berkshire, wrapped in brown paper, and directed to "Mr. Stark, Elm-grove, Torquay, Devonshire." San ders, the parcel deliverer was, however, unable to find out the house described. Indeed, there is no such place either in the town or its vicinity. Presuming there might be a mistake in the direction of the package, he took it to Mr. Stark, ironmonger, on the Strand. Mr. John Stark took in the package, but expressed his sur prise at receiving it from Reading, as none was expected. He took off the paper covering, and then came to a small box, which on being partly opened, he found, to his surprise and horror, to con tain the body of a child apparently new born. He immediately gave information to Mr. Kelley, superintendent of police, who thought it advisable to dispatch the body back to Reading, and send a tele graphic dispatch to the authorities in reference to the discovery. An inquest thas since been held, at which Thomas Henry Davis, a porter at the Great Western Railway, Reading, stated at about eight o'clock last Tuesday morning a female, from 16 to 18 years of age, came to the station with a parcel directed as described and laid it on the counter. Witness asked her if she was going to pay the carriage ; and she replied, " Oh ! dear no, there is nothing to pay 1" and left the office immediately. Mr. Halford, a surgeon, said the child's head had been injured by violence. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some per son or persons unknown." GREAT CIRCLE SAlLlNG.—Amongst the ships at pre sent at Southampton about to take Government emi grants to Australia is the Statesman, Captain Godfrey, which will start in a few days with 300 emigrants for Port Philip. Captain Godfrey was the [first who sailed to Australia upon the great circle principle. Although a young man he has made six Australian voyages. He has performed the voyage ,from England to Port Philip by great circle sailing in 76 days, which is the quickest voyage except one ever made. The ship Marco Polo did it in 74 days by sailing in the track of the States man. The latter was the first ship which brought home Australian gold, and on her last homeward passage she beat the mail steamer by 14 days. The Statesman will take out ship letter bags for Port Philip, which will contain all letters specially addressed to go by her. The introduction of great circle sailing by Capt. Godfrey will mark an epoch in the history of the science of navi gation. NEWPORT AND ABERGAVENNY' RAILWAY. —Thursday a special meeting of this company was held at the Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of sub mitting to the shareholders the following bills :-Ist, to authorise the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Company to make deviations in their extension to the Taff Vale Railway, and to make certain short branches. 2d, to authorise deviations at Hereford and Pontypool to the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway, and to amend the acts relating to that railwa y . Also to authorise the directors to exercise their b orrow i ng powers. The Hon. W. B. Fitzmaurice occupied the chair. Rsolutions approving of the bills were carried unanimously, and it was also resolved that the directors be authorised to exercise their borrowing powers to the extent of 200,0001. The chairman stated that it w as expec ted the line would be completed throughout in the Thanks were voted mon th of October next. t o the chairman, and the business terminated.
