The French steamer which left Constantinople on the 15th of October reported the return from Constantinople to Besika on. the 7th of the Gomer French steam-frigate, bearing the flag of Rear- Admiral Barbi er de Ti nan , second in command, followed on the Bth by the Mogador steam-frigate. Of the British fleet the only vessels remaining at Constantinople were the Retribution steam-frigate and the-Ny F asp steam corvette, whilst the Spitfire steam-surveying vessel was employed sounding off the Prince's Island, in the sea of Marinora ; the French line-of-battle ship Friedland had moved no further down than Gallipoli. At five o'clock on. the 26th the Caradoc steam-vessel, despatched on the 23d from Constantinople, arrived at Malta with a communication of importance from Lord Strat ford de Redcliffe for Lord Clarendon, said to relate to a note to hand from Vienna on the 22d, with which, after hurriedly coaling, the Caradoc pro ceeded at 9.30 of the 26th to Marseilles, where she arrived on the 28th of October. On the 21st the Sampson arrived at Besika, Bay from Constantinople, bearer of firmans from the Sultan for 'the combined fleets to pass up the Dar danelles, and accordingly, at three a.m. on the 22d, the Sampson towing the Albion, the Retribution the Vengeance, the Gomer the Henri Quatre, and the Mogador towing the Jupiter, started from Be sika Bay for the Bosphorus ; at five a.m. the Na poleon took the Vile de Paris in tow, and "walked". away with her in such a way as. to excite general admiration. By eight the French were well away, and the Britannia in tow of the Furious was just leaving her anchorage, followed by the Rodney in tow of the Firebrand, the Tiger with the Trafalgar, the Bellerophon, with the Inflexible, and the Are thusa and Sans Pareil in tow of the Niger, which was some time getting her screw to work. The wind, which had been increasing from daybreak, blew at the same time very fresh from the north ward, which, being right ahead, no ship got to her destination save the Ville de Paris, which reached the inner Castles at about nine a.m. ' so well did the Napoleon do her work. Of the first detach ment, the Vengeance and Jupiter reached the an chorage destined for the British fleet, whilst the Albion and the Henri Quatre were obliged to come to an anchor below it. The other French ships, with the exception of the Valmy, brought up in the Dardanelles further down ; and as the Charle magne made no progress with the Valmy, and the towing-cables having parted, she proceeded with out her, leaving the Valmy outside the Strait, not more than four or five miles from her former an chorage. The Britannia could not contrive to get further ahead than just below the outer castle - of Europe, and the several other ships anchored near the Valmy. Had the Firebrand made better pro gress with the, Rodney, some of the ships following might have done better, but these having to keep station with a slow coach ahead, they had no op portunity of showing their power. With the exception of the Albion, Vengeance, Sampson, and Retribution, English, and Henri Quatre, Jupiter, Gomer, and Mogador, French, proceeding right up the Bosphorus, the intention was for the French to anchor off Nagara, and the British below Chenab Kalessi, where Sir William Parker anchored on the occasion of the last visit of the English fleet to the Dardanelles. When the Caraioc passed down the Dardanelles on the 23d, the ships had topmasts struck and upper yards down, as the weather was very tempestuous. Thus the passage up the Dardanelles of the combined fleets, so long talked of, has been at length rea lised, and every future move will be watched most anxiously. Why the whole combined force or at least a larger one than four line-of-battle ships and as many steam-frigates, should not have at once proceeded to the Bosphorus, cannot be understood by the Turks, whose patience has been sadly t r i e d during the ast four months, and cannot be ex pected to last much longer. . It will be the height of injustice to accuse them of fanaticisni should any untoward recontre with the enemy occur, and which is very probable. The line of Ottoman merchant steamers running between Constanti nople and Batoum, calling at the intermediate ports of Sinope, Imboli, Samsoon, and Trebizond, have been all armed to enable them to make re sistance, and, if necessary, to act offensively as well as defensively, and six Ottoman frigates are cruising off Varna. Should the Russians move from Sebastopol a naval force, not alto gether superior to them, there is enthusiasm enough amongst the Turks to urge these latter to try their fortune by sea as well as by land. A body of volunteers from the easternmost parts of the empire have reached the camp at Schumla, armed with bows and arrows, in the unerring use of which they are notoriously expert. Before the departure from Besika Bay of the combined fleets, that of France had been reinforced by the Serieuse.frigate and the Mercure brig-of war, and that of England had received by the Maltese brig San Paulo, and the English brig Zephyr, a timely supply of victualling stores from the Malta dockyard, whose arrangements under this head have been very excellent. The Leander frigate, which arrived at Malta from Plymouth on the 24th of October, took in a further supply, with which she left for the Dardanelles on the 28th, to be fol lowed very shortly by the Queen and London ships of-the-line, Leoward, Valorous, and Vulture steam corvettes, and Agamemnon screw line-of-battle ship, all of which were soon looked for at Malta to reinforce the fleet. The Fury steam corvette reached Malta at half-past 4 p.m.. on the 31st of October from Marseilles with overland despatches from London, with which, after coaling, shb left at half-past 7 on the same night for the Dardanelles and Constantinople. The Ardent, with despatches from the same quarter, received at Malta by the Vectis, Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam packet, on the night of the 29th, and by the Indus, belonging to the same company, on the afternoon of the 30th, left on the morning of the last men tioned day, likewise for the Dardanelles and Con stantinople. The Levant steamer, leaving Constantinople on the 25th of October (two days later than the Cara doe) was then , hourly looked for at Malta, and would proceed on her voyage to Marseilles on the 2d of November.—Chronicle. to-day retain is simply in so far as it may serve to mark the continued existence of a system which we would all of us gladly see abolished at once, and for ever. The Lord Mayor of London, is not the first citizen of London. In point of fact, we know that any emi nent merchant who may at the present moment be carrying on his business in the city would consider his nomination to the office a mere insult. The constituency by which the Lord Mayor is ap pointed does Lot consist of the leading citizens of London, but of knots of petty tradesmen, well drilled into effective electioneering platoons by skilful managers. The system which he is called upon to administer is one which has ceased to command the slightest atom of respect—it is synonymous in public opinion with corruption, prejudice, and self-interest in the most abject form. To render the Lord Mayor's show of yesterday at all agreeable to the apprehension of the spectators it would have been necessary that the three Com missioners now sitting in inquiry upon the abomi nations of the Corporation should have formed part of the display. They should have passed in their - - three plain carriages next in order to the rolling gewgag which contained the city's ruler for the current Sear, so that the bane and antidote might have been present at the same moment to the public eye. But, if we turn from the inner meaning of this vulgar show to its mere outward presenta tion, we find the upholsterer in charge signally in fault. If it means anything, it means not what exists to-day, but what existed three, or twice three, centuries ago. If we are to have fooling at all, let us have what in Shakspearian phrase would be called "glorious fooling,"—good old antiquarian fooling. The Lord Mayor's show is not one of those pomps - which can be made to accommodate itself to the times in which we live. When Lord Aberdeen accepted the seals of office, which were symbolical of the fact that the interests of the British empire had been intrusted to his keeping, no one thought of his being paraded through London in fine clothes and a gilt coach. When the Lord Mayor is hitched into the chair of a police magistrate for a period of twelve months, during which time he must rely upon his very in telligent and gentlemanlike clerk for the law which it is the chief object of his office to dispense, one would think that the Thames had been set on fire. What a train of gaudy carriages and smug sheriffs 1 What vulgar pomp and ceremony ! What a solemn sacrifice on the altars of beadleaom ! It does not contribute -to the edification or amusement of a single person. Crowds collect to see it pass by— but crowds collect in London upon the smallest inducement, without any particular result in the way of enjoyment. A wrecked cab—a row be tween two applewomen —an advertising van, would produce the same result. The only le gitimate inference of which we are aware from the gathering of the rabble upon Lord Mayor's day is, that it would be prudent to avoid giving cause for any such assembla g e in days to come. And then the feast ! The Lord Mayor's dinner is as great a delusion as the Lord Mayor's show. It would be difficult to pass on it a severer criticism. What a waste of money for what a result ! Many thousand poimds sterling, for which it would be difficult to find a worse use, are sacrificed, in order that some hundreds of people, who might have dined comfortably at home, may dine badly or not at all. The old display, which art least amused our anti quaries, is at an end, and in its place we have painted women and allegorical gold-diggers. Alder raan. Sydney, or Lord Mayor Sydney, was very heartily greeted by the populace yesterday, not for any peculiar veneration of the man or of the office might have filled, but simply, as a theatrical manager tght have been who had indulged the mob with a circus display. The shivering woman, drawn by six w , d was she no lookeddoub t ; ahite greathorses who. Poor r e p r t e h s i e n nd g t h J o u ly st e i c o e l The emblematic figure of California, too, was well imagined as an appeal to popular sympathies ; but for our parts we think Batty does these things bet ter in the circus. We trust that by the help of her Majesty's Commissioners this may be the last public exhibition on Lord Mayor's day. It is an undeni able nuisance to the city, and redounds but little to the honour and glory of its chief officer or its inha bitants..—Times. NAPA-I. IN TELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 9. The fleet at Spithead has received orders to be ready for sea by the 11th, but no sailing orders have been issued. The Amphion, 34, screw, Captain Key, was paid wages at Spithead yesterday. The Rhadamanthus steam transport, Master Com mander Be lam, steamed into the factory basin yester day to land the machinery of the Caesar, 90. We are happy to say there are no more new cases of cholera on board the Bremen ship Ann. M. Vanden berg, the Consul for the Hanseatic Towns at this port, has taken every precaution to prevent the spread of the malady. Large quantities of chloride of lime have bert injected into the ship. . The Topaze, Belgian Royal steam vessel, which brought the Belgian Royal family to this port on Sunday night, left for Ostend at 5 o'clock this morning. The Tribune, 30, screw steam-vessel, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, tried her speed again to-day at the measured mile. WOOLWICH, Nov. 9. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant William F. Gregory (1853) to the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw steam-ship, at Portsmouth. • Master William Stanton (1852) to the Dauntless, 24, screw steam-frigate, at Portsmouth. Acting Assistant Surgeons.—Thomas M`Catley (1853) to the Princess Royal, 90, screw steam-ship at Ports mouth : Edward H. Evans (1853) to the Diamond, 28, at Sheerness ; Andrew M‘Mann (1853) to the Frolic, 16, at Portsmouth ; Robert Burrows (1853) to the Vic tory, flag-ship, at Portsmouth. Midshipman Juhn Swinburne, to the Victory. The Monkey steam-vessel, Second Master Sallanger, returned to Woolwich to-day, from Leith and Burntis land, where she had conveyed the furniture of the late Admiral Sir Charles Adam. • Captain Edmund M. Lyons (1850), son of Rear-Ad miral Sir Edmund Lyons, has been appointed to study steam at the factory at Woolwich Dockyard, and will join here on his return from being present at the em barcation of his father as second in command of the British fleet on the Mediterranean station. _ _ Two serjeants, two corporals, and 50 privates of the Woolwich division, were marched to the Royal Dock yard station of the North Kent Railway, headed by the band of the division, for the purpose of being conveyed by railway to Portsm(mtli, to do duty there until they embark for service at sea. The detachment was under the command of Lieutenant Holland, who will return to Woolwich to resume his duty. THE LOSS Or THE ROSE STEAM-CRUISER. - We have already announced the loss of the Rose. We extract the following details from the Charlotte Town Islander, Oct. 10 :—" The steamer . Rose, engaged by the Admi ralty for the protection of the fisheries around Prince Edward's Island, under the command of Lieut. John Jenkins, R.N., left Tracadie Harbour—where she had been coaling—on the evening of the 28th of September, bound to Charlotte Town, to join the senior officer on the station. About midnight a strong breeze sprang up from the eastward, gradually increasing in violence as the night advanced. At 2 o'clock a.m. altered course to ESE; gale increasing. At 4 a.m., finding ship could not make headway against the storm, tried to wear, but the ship being unmanageable under steam, forestaysail and trysail were set to pay her head off, sails immediately split, and a heavy sea at the same time carried away all her port sponsons and her paddle-box, with a ton of coal on deck. In con sequence of this it was 7 o'clock before her head was brought to the wind, • They •.then steered before the wind to prevent the ship being swamped and all hands lost —the vessel at this time on a westerly course, with a tremendous sea and heavy squalls of wind. At 10 a.m. a sea struck her stern and stove in dead lights, flooded the cabin and gun-room. At 1 the land was sighted, but owing to the rain and heavy spray, could not make it out—altered course to WNW, to run for Richmond Bay, at same time threw two large brass guns and all the heavy moveables on deck overboard. Finding ves sel would not steer, and that she broached-to, they hoisted staysail, which split immediately, the vessel being now quite unmanageable, in consequence of the heavy sea, and making much water. The vessel drift ing bodily on the land, they tried to get her head on for the shore, but all head sails being blown away, let g 9 kedge anchor over stern, to bring her head to the wind, which having been done, cut hawser and steered for the land, the ship at this time being half full of water. At two o'clock, while running before the wind, the connecting-rod of engine broke, and the engine stopped, the second sea carrying away wheel, funnel, and steam-pipe, which were all washed overboard. About ten minutes after the vessel struck on a reef, at the east entrance of the harbour of Rustico, the sea making a complete breach over her. After striking heavily for 15 minutes she became quite stationary, with four feet water in her hold, a total wreck. That with great difficulty all hands effected a landing on Rus tico Island, having first succeeded in landing a line, and by means of it and a dingy they were landed sepa rately one by one. The vessel has since been con demned and advertised for sale. The crew, consisting of 4 officers and 29 men, with the materials they suc ceeded in saving, crossed the island in 18 carts, arrived at Charlotte Town, and embarked on board Calypso, 18, Captain Forbes, in port, and sailed for Halifax on Thursday morning, the 6th October." THE NORTH_ WEST PASSAGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —The interest evinced by the public and yourself in the recent completion of the geogra phical question of the North-West Passage induces me to think that you may be disposed to give in sertion to the accompanying brief sketch of the proceedings of Lieutenant Creswell from the time he left the Investigator, in Mercy Bay, till he arrived in England as the bearer of Capt. M'Clure's despatches.. This sketch is, I believe, necessary to complete the record of these events up to the pre sent time.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, WILLIAM EDWARD PARRY, Rear-Admiral. Northbrook-house, Bishop's-Waltham, Nov. 7. " Before Captain M'Clure left the Investigator for Melville Island, he arranged for Lieutenant Gurney Cresswell to follow with the more sichly part of the crew. The party consisted of Mr. Wynniett (mate, now lieutenant, invalided home), Mr. Piers (assistant-sur geon), Mr. Miertsching (Esquimaux interpreter), and 24 petty officers, marines, and seamen. " April 15th, at 5.30 a.m.—They left the ship, the remaining part of the officers and ship's company giving them three hearty cheers. There was one sick man on the sledge from the time they left the ship until their arrival at the Resolute. The wind blew strong from the with snow-drift ; but, as all the requisite ar rangements had been made for their start, Lieutenant Cresswell did not. postpone it. At 6 p.m. they sighted the eastern land of the bay, and found by it that they had made a good course. Shortly after leaving the ship Corporal Farquharson and Joseph Tacey broke down, the former having pains in the chest, the latter suffering from a fall shortly before leaving the Investigator. They encamped on Point Back, about 10 miles from the ship. On the 16th they started at 6 a.m., but travelling proved very heavy, and the men already showed signs of weak ness. The 17th they rounded Cape Hamilton. The ice had been thrown up by tremendous external pres sure, between which and the land they had to drag the sledges. To accomplish this they were obliged to double-man the sledges--taking two over at a time. As soon as they, found a chance of pushing their way through the hummocky barrier that lined the shore, they struck off on to the sea-ice, and encamped about two miles from the land. "April 22d.—They sighted Melville Island. Their daily journeys varied ; sometimes the sun gave them a look to cheer them on their way ; but, generally speak ing, the weather was gloomy ; the men suffering from weakness and fatigue, and the difficulty of drawing the sledges increasing from day to day. The ice was ex tremely rough and hummocky. One day they came upon a large field of ice from which the wind had blown away the snow, and the weight of the sledges appeared comparatively nothing. They were passing rapidly along, when one man was found to be missing. It was a poor fellow who had showed symptoms of mental im becility, but until then had travelled with the rest. The detention was grievous, but unavoidable. They sent back to search for him, and found him in a pond of melted snow. From that time great difficulty was ex perienced in getting him along. He was always throw ing himself on, the snow to lie down. They dared not put him on one of the sledges, as already the weight was great enough for their enfeebled party, with one man totally unable to walk and their needful baggage. " April 30th.- --At 6.30 a.m., just as they were beginning their day's march, two men were seen coming towards the tents from the eastward. They proved to be Mr. Pita and a seaman, with a sledge and dogs ; he had been sent out by Captain Kellett to assist them in, and land some stores in Winter harbour. He was much surprised to find this party so far advanced in their journey. Lieutenant Cresswell wished him to land the things,. as they did not require any immediate assistance. At this time Charles Anderson, being unable to walk any further, was taken on the sledge. Notwithstanding this extra weight, they made excellent progress, the men being in high spirits on the strength of being so near the Resolute. "May 2d.—They started at 11 p.m., and arrived on board the Resolute at 4 a.m. on the following day. Captain Kellett and M'Clure met them on the floe. Captain Kellett gave them the heartiest welcome. The journey from the Investigator was made in 16 days, the distance 170 miles. " The day following (May 4) Captain McClure set off on his return to his ship, and was accompanied by the surgeon of the Resolute, with instructions to examine into the health of the crew ; Captain Kellett, as senior officer, having determined that, if 20 ablebodied men volunteered to remain with Captain M'Clure, that daunt less officer should be at liberty to stay by his ship and attempt to bring her through, should the season render it possible. "It was Captain Kellett's strenuous wish that a party of the Investigator's men should go on to the North Star, at Beech) , Island ; but as, out of 24, only two were not affected with scurvy, he was obliged to aban don the design. Captain Kellett placed the Investi gator's despatches in the hands of Lieutenant Cresswell, with directions to proceed to the North Star in com pany with Mr. Roche (mate), with a party of 11 men, the boatswain of the Resolute, and Lieutenant Wynniett, of the Investigator. "On the 13th of May they saw two musk oxen. Lieutenant Cresswell and Mr. Roche went in pursuit. They wished to have shot only the cow, but having wounded her, the bull would not allow them to approach her ; they, therefore, had to shoot him also. The sledge being very heavily laden, they could not take more than the hind-quarters of the cow away with them. Such is arctic life. For 18 months before quitting the Investi gator nearly starved, and now leaving 800 or 900 pounds of excellent fresh beef for the wolves and foxes ! " On the morning of the 2d of June they arrived on board the North Star, Captain Pullen, at Beechy Island. The journey was 300 miles, and had occupied four weeks to accomplish it. " On the Bth of August the Phcenix arrived, com manded by Captain Inglefield. At that ti m e Captain Pullen had been away a month - froin the North Star to communicate with Sir Edward Belcher. By the time he returned the season was rapidly advancing, and the opinion of the most experienced was decided that Cap tain Inglefield, in the Phcenix, should no longer delay his return home, without further waiting for Sir Edward Beicher's arrival at Beechy Island. "On the 23d of August the Phcenix left Beechy Island. She touched at Disco, at Lievely taking in coals, and at Hollesteinburgh, where they put in to complete their astronomical observations. At both places they met with Esquimaux, and joined with them in the dance and song. The women were clean and neat, and peculiarly simple and modest in their conduct. " On the 4th of October Captain Inglefield and Lieu tenant Cressweil landed at Thurso, at the extreme north of Scotland. Fifty-three hours' travelling brought them to London. On Friday, October the 7th, they arrived at the Admiralty with tidings that the geographical question of the long-sought-for north-west passage had been satisfactorily solved." DEATH FROM CHOLERA IN HORSEMONGER-LANE PRl- SON.—Yesterday Mr. Carter held an inquest touching the death of Eliza Brooks, alias Lovelace, a prisoner, confined there under remand, who died from malignant Asiatic cholera. Mr. John Keene the governor of the prison, stated that the deceased was about thirty years of age, and an unfortunate female. She was com mitted by Mr. Combe, one of the magistrates at Southwark Police-court, on the Ist instant, for at tempting to commit suicide by casting herself into the River Thames. That was the second time she had been in custody for a similar offence. Elizabeth Harvey identified the body of the deceased, whose real name was Eliza Lovelace, but she once lived with a man named Brooks. Witness added :—I heard of her being confined in this gaol last Thursday, and I came and saw her. She then complained of being cold, and that she had no appetite, through the effects of being in the water. I saw her again on Monday, having received a letter from the go vernor, stating that she was very ill. I then found her in the infirmary. She was then sensible, and she said that she did not think that she should live long. Every kindness was used towards her by the prison authorities. Mr. William Harris, surgeon to the gaol, said the de ceased came under my charge on the 4th instant, suffer ing from diarrhoea. • I did not think her weak, nor that there was any cause to expect cholera. It was the second time she had been committed for attempting to commit suicide. I ordered medicine, the attack being at first very slight. On the sth instant she was better, but on the next day she was brought into the infir mary to me, and put to bed. Jane Weston and another female prisoner and the matron attended her. I under stood she had purged and vomited a great deal during the preceding night. She had also suffered from cramps in the legs. She made no complaint when unlocked by the turnkey. I saw her in a state of collapse—cold, pulseless, ,and clammy. The purging was not frequent, but copious, and of a rice colour. The vomiting was incessant, and I reported her to be in great danger. The Coroner—What is your opinion of the cause of death ?—Mr. Harris— Malignant Asiatic cholera. The Coroner—Was she medically treated for that ?—Mr. Harris—Yes ; I gave her brandy and water at frequent , intervals. Her thirst was intense. The Coroner—Have you anything to ex plain as to the origin of the attack ? - Mr. Harris—No, I have not. Diarrhcea, was not prevalent in the gaol. We, however, have had a few cases, but none exactly cholera. There was a serious case of diarrhoea on the 22d of September last. Ido not attribute it to the state of the prison, which has been recently properly drained. I do not think the disease was caused by the locality or diet. I think she died from natural causes. The jury found their verdict, " That the deceased, Eliza Brooks, alias Lovelace, died, from malignant Asiatic cholera. Tim STRIKE OF FUSTIAN DYERS. —After a period of 17 weeks of enforced idleness and privation on the part of the turnouts, this strike, so far as the masters are concerned, may be regarded as at an end. Since Mon day last, the men have been offering themselves, in con siderable numbers, to return to their w work up a o n n d th to e masters' terms,—viz., no advance of ag es accept 10i hours for the da y s work, ill Overtime, whenever required, instead of making the overtime day to consist of only seven hours, as heretofore. THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW. Three centuries ago the Strand was an open country road. There was a line of noblemen's houses on the southern, and a loose array of smaller habitations on the northern side. On one hand, as you travelled along this country road, there was always something to be seen very much like the wall of Northumberland-house in its present condi tion ; on the other were public-houses, with signs, and the dwellings of petty shopkeepers, after the fashion of modern Brentford. Temple-bar existed not as yet ; for the present bgly structure was built by Wren after the great fire. In former days there were only on this spot posts, rails, and a chain. Now, along such a road as this, and in times when such a road existed, we can readily enough conceive that a pompous procession, such as the one with which London was yesterday in fested, might have been a very striking spectacle. Your Anglo-Saxon is not a very imaginative crea ture, and it might have required so magnificent a show to convince him that he was absolutely wit nessing the highest possible display of worldly grandeur. The men in armour, the uncouth giants, the glory of the civic dignitaries, must have im pressed upon his mind the conviction that Lon don's Lord Mayor was indeed in the act of passing by. What Easter Sunday is to the devout Roman Catholic, what a butter-feast is to the well-trained disciple of Buddha, such was Lord Mayor's day to the Londoner in the days of Henry VIII., whether he assisted at the glowing ceremony by land, or in his barge on the silvery surface of the river Thames. Matters since then are much changed. Outward pomp and display require every circumstance of acknowledged and indisputable desert to render them palatable to the taste of the indifferent spectator. It was a Wel lington who added dignity to the riband which shone_ upon his breast—the riband could do but little for the honour of the conqueror of the Penin sula and of Waterloo. The mere upholstery work of glory.is gone out of fashion, and the attempt to recal it is as vain as it would be to aim at the re- introduction of periwigs. But, even in cases of this kind, opinion observes certain distinctions. Take the instance of any of our great Orders of Knighthood, and upon the muster-rolls of any of them there will always be found names which are synonymous with great achievements in the civil or military career. The high deserts of the few carry off and excuse the insignificance of the many. The opening of Parliament by the Queen is still a great sight. It is no slight event that an assembly which by its decisions may affect the course of history should again be convened.

SPO.RTING INTELLIGENCE. A delightful day, and a better attendance than on Tuesday, made the second day at Aintree somewhat more cheerful. There was, however, nothing in the speculation on "the great event" either in London or in the Lancastrian metropolis of commerce to call for fur ther comment than will be found in our, of necessity, hasty report.

At the last meeting of the society, Mr. James Mea dows Repdel, president, in the chair, The business of the evening was commenced by the announcement of the dates of the ordinary meetings of the session ; of the appointment of December 20th for the annual general meeting, for the election of the pre sident, council, and officers ; and of the 30th of May for the president's conversazione. The paper read was, " On the Speed and other properties of Ocean Steamers, and on the Measurement of Ships for Tonnage," by Mr. A. Henderson, Assoc. Inst. C.E. The two subjects were combined for the purpose of afford ing facility for their discussion. After alluding to a paper brought before the institution, in 1847, by the same author, in which the fallacy of using registered tonnage and nominal horse-power, as the index of the capabilities of speed of steamers, was shown, by a com parison of their relative propOrtions and elements of resistance with the steam power employed, the present paper referred to a tabular form, containing copious de tails of dimensions and of general information, as to the form, proportions, and speed, realised by ocean steamers, compiled from documents emanating from the depart ment of the Surveyor of the Navy, and from returns made to Parliament by the Post-office and Admiralty ; showing that between the years 1845 and 1851, on an aggregate mail service of 1,271,000 miles, the speed realised only averaged 7.945 knots per hour, which was far short of the speed generally supposed to be main tamed by mail steamers ; the highest speed being , 84 knots per hour, between Marseilles and Alexa!idnrl,_ perDY her Majesty's mail packets, and the lowest 71. steamers. Reference hour, between Ceylon and China, by contraetp ub- Reference was then made to a tabular statement,. including lished by the committee on steam com munication India, showing the station of each running upwards of six packets of the Indian navy, ru knots per hour, and of 8.082 emaunnleir7tion with 325,000 miles, at a speed Peninsular and Oriental eleven contract steamers of the 7 the same table the speed of Company, running above 53, 7'972 knots per hour.oo miles, and averaging the hour; iron t steamerhe older Lady Mary Wood mid ns were Offered ou the 7 o . f 2 o 4 c 9 e sknotste steam ers, r tPirreilibienrwsß7taes.yamstsw,n to be 7'733 knots per l3raganza, realising , 379 knots sta a n n e d e a fair ei itermii of ers, and the difficultvariousyrespectively. f ou ol ni r f.

That the length of the five steamers realising 81 knots per hour averaged less than six times their breadth, while that of those which realised less than 71 knots averaged upwards of 74 times their breadth. Reference was made to the Orinoco, one of the largest new stearaers„ the particulars of which afforded much useful information, and which, if similarly collected from other sources and deposited in the archives of the institution, would be most valuable, as the sub- ject was daily becoming of greater interest and import ance, The second part of the paper was if On the Mea- ~.• (1— Lit .r . 1.4-- j z .. ..e . „.., Z: -4 ri r' . ---- 4 - 4--- , ‘„,,,e-- -- - - "7 / I rsi - _ , ,______ ...,, A 4: .• :' . i.'.. , i i. ) .--,, - • , (,) i- „ •• / / ' '.. ;2 Aeie.--- - Z,,- surement of Shifr6 Ey the old law, or builder's Ikea '-'-''''' '' l '' CJ ) L •,...

It was contended that the present register of particulars, by omitting the depth, gave less information than the old register ; that ' calculations of tonnage deduced from internal measure. ment must show discrepancies of 10 or even 15 per cent. between the computed tonnage of timber and of iron ships, of the same size, or external bulk ; therefbre it had become necessary to introduce a method of compu. tation deduced from both internal and external measure ment, so as to combine the 'capacity for stowage, and the weight or the load, and the displacement, the prin ciple being to ascertain the external bulk and internal space in cubic feet, and to deduce from the mean of these, by the use of a factor 30, 31, or 32, a regidir of tonnage approximating to the old law, chiefly for si..tis tical purposes, the external and internal dimensions •in cubic feet giving the only correct definition of the size, capacity, and resistance of a vessel. FATAL OCCURRENCE AT THE NEW COAL Yesterday afternoon, about three o'clock, a fatal ac cident happened to a man named James Bright, and his child, a little girl, at the New Coal Exchange, opposite Billings gate-market, which terminated in the institute neous death of the former. It appears that after the Lord Mayor's show had gone through the ward, and his lordship had embarked on board the City barges from the market, numbers of th e publi c were allowed 1.040 -- over the Exchange and inspect the interesting paintings which adorn the galleries. The unfortunate man and his child were amongst the many who were admitted, and upon reaching the uppermost gallery, he, by some means not as yet correctly ascertained, got outside upok the glazed roofnearest to St. Mary -at-Hill. Cu •. -i then prompted him it is thought to attempt to reach ' • us trades at the side of the building for the purpose . jng the bustle and excitement in the street below K ding ,• his child, he was in the act of walking over a- ab of glass, more than half an inch thick, when it 0 ,-atway from under him, and the unhappy m • dropped through, dragging his little girl, whom he had hold of by the hand, after him, and fell with a fearful crash upon the ornamental pavement beneath, a depth of more than seventy feet. The Exchange being full of visitors at the time, the greatest alarm instantly arose, and a rush was made for the doors, a belief being entertained at the moment that the whole splendid glass dome of the building was falling. On the unfortunate father and child being approached, the latter was found, by some merciful interposition of Providence, to have e psse shattered c aeer ater was eetarldyse was di d hn i e eun a m: death, although nsbstrda frightfullyoi otdsuetgaodhb of his a h u hdt e i, her thigh thembl t ui h umt i bt g bi oal h sads tywe w .tdeh a hefbhri broken. might man,ktsi u gek r nhu e .th d hbA a wo e n wap d asi re chance of some aid yet being afforded him, it was deemed prudent to convey him, with the child, to St. Thomas's Hospital ; but on re ac hi ng t h at institution the life of the unfortunate man, as anticipated, was pro nounced to be quite extinct. The little girl was taken into the Dorcas Ward, when Mr. South, the surgeon, reduced the fracture, and there is every chance of her re covering. Fortunately the market was just over, and the open area under the dome clear of merchants and factors when the accident happened ; had it been on, it is scarcely possible to conceive what might have been the consequences, the spot where the deceased and a quantity of heavy broken glass fell being right in the entrance to the captains' room, which is always crowded - during market hours. It is thought that the unfirtu nate man must have gained access to the roof by a win- dow on an upper staircase. He was a kind of jobbing porter at Billingsgate, about 30 years of age. The body awaits an inquest. Another accident occurred during the day, which it is feared will be attended with deplorable consequences. While the procession was passing the open space be tween the Mansion-house and the Globe Insurance office, a stand, which was erected by some costermonger, broke down while crowded with people, and one of them, a gentlemanly-dressed man, sustained a double compound fracture of the leg, besides other injuries. He was removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he lies in a sad way. It is feared the limb will have to be• amputated. THE ARMY. MORE DESERTIONS. -A. court-martial (Major J. Clark Kennedy, 18th Royal Irish Regiment, president) assembled on Monday at Chatham barracks for the trial of the following prisoners :—Richard James Brown, of the East India Company's Service, was tried for deser tion and making away with his regimental necessaries. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was sorry for what he had done, it was the effect of drink. Serjeant Major Robert Sullivan said the prisoner had been in the ser vice 19,7 days, and his character had been good. The next prisoner was John William Norman, 38th Regi• 'Dent, who deserted at Winchester on the 14th of Sep tember, 1851, and made away with regimental neces saries. The prisoner surrendered himself to the corps on the 31st of Octobwr last at Brompton barrack , . Lieut. and Adjutant Beswick stated that the prisoner had only been in the regiment six months, during that time his general character had been good. Private William Snell, 93rd company of the Royal Marines, was next arraigned for having deserted from the Chat ham division on the 3rd of December, 1852. The pri soner was apprehended at Deptford, working as a labourer. The adjutant of the Marines said the general character of the prisoner was bad. The prisoner had been eight years and 26 days in the service. The issue of these trials will not be known until the proceedings have been confirmed at the Horse Guards. Captain Dishrowe's company of the 62d Regiment marched from Kilkenny on Saturday to Carlow, to re place Captain Rynd's company of the same regiment, which proceeded on Monday to Duncannon Fort for Minie rifle target practice. Captain Hopkinson's (the light) company, having completed its Minie rifle prac tice, will return to Kilkenny on Thursday, on being re lieved by Captain Rynd's company at Duncannon Fort. On Friday a private soldier of the 62nd, in the con valescent ward of the garrison hospital at Kilkenny, cut his throat, being still labouring under the effects of low fever ; he did not, however, succeed in his intention of putting a period to his existence, the wound not proving dangerous.

A portion of the window frame of the dye-house adjoining was then destroyed, from which the thieves got through a door into the inner yard. A portion of the store-room was then de stroyed, after which the robbers obtained access to the interior of the mill. The property they succeeded in taking away was--from 501 b. to 601 b. weight of dull flock warp silk, about 301 b. of bright flock warp silk, 141 b. of dark blue warp silk, of two shades, and 41b. of a light shade of warp silk. The above property was taken from the silk-mill, and from the dye-house adjoining there was removed 101 b. of China boiled-off silk, in• a wet state. The value of the property stolen from the mill is estimated at NO/ , and that from the dye-house tat 137. It is supposed the robbers, who must have been two or three in number, returned the same way by which they entered. As yet there is no clue to their discovery. EXTRAORDINARY DECISIONS. —Two cases were de cided by Mr. Sheriff Bell in the Small Debt Court, on Thursday, giving auctioneers an extraordinary immunity from the provisions of the law. Mr. Balfour, furniture dealer, Maxwell-street, summoned Mr. John Morrison, auctioneer, for recovery of one penny, which the defen der had insisted on the pursuer paying for a stamp receipt in settling an account for goods purchased at a public sale, la tter e r r e c o e b i j v e e c r t o ed f , th o e n in th o e ne g y ro sh u o n u d ld th i a n t a t l h i elaw declared cases thatan dthat receipt.

It appeared that the gentlemen had de murred to the fee as too high ; and he objected that the valuation had been made by. the • auctioneer' s clerk, who was unlicensed ; and that the valuation was on unstamped paper. In support of these pleas, be produced a letter from the Solicitor of Stamps stating that on b o th these points the auctioneer had acted illegally, an d was liable to the statutory penalties. The Sheriff decided in favour of the pursuer, remit ting the account to a member of the trade to be taxed.— Glasgow Constitutional. BLANKET HIINTING.—I started off one day by myself, after a large herd of buffalo, about three miles westward of the fort, adopting the novel expedient of carrying with me a white blanket in order to stalk them. I took such a course as not to give the herd my wind, and, with the cover afforded by the timber on the point, sic= seeded in getting within a couple of hundred yards of them. T crept forward on my hands and knees, covered by the blanket, which prevented them from distinguishing me amidst the surrounding snow, and enabled me to approach until I came within shot. I continued creep ing about and around them, singling out the best and fattest of the cows, for upwards of an hour, and . it was not until I had laid five of their number low, that they smelt a rat, and bolted• off unanimously, tossing their shaggy heads and ploughing up the snow. —Palliser's Solitary Rambles of a Hunter. SHERIDAN KNOWLES.—The friends of the Irish Mis sion will be glad to learn that Mr. Sheridan Knowles has handed over to G. C. Bruce, Esq., treasurer, the whole proceeds of his late lectures on Popery, and of his sermon in the Tabernacle, Edinburgh, which amount to a considerable sum. This act of generosity i s greatly enhanced by the fact that Mr. Knowles did not only offer his services without any application to that effect, but rendered them without even cha rg i ng travelling expenses upon the missi on. is in one it is. each 3s, 1, 22 qua xley- hind• 3 6a 3 Od 3 Od 3 Od 3 Oa s. d. 20 23 6 23 0 24 6 24 6 23 9 24 3 .16. ertaill. .5 .7 . 20 . 16 26 'h. gat 10 20 edalll edgily 16 Thur ;dant 26 1 12 16 rtaill --- it 00 (via
