TUE ALLEGED MURDER AT SEEPIIERD'S. BAN. LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS. PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA• BOIL Shr.l Paid Leasing Compans, Closing Prices this day. Bus!ness this day. NEWCASTLE. The last report issued by the General Board of Health at Whitehall respecting Newcastle is as follows : " Sept. 14.—Deaths, 58. Total of deaths from August 31 to Sept. 14, 214. Gateshead—Deaths, 83. The disease is developing itself, though but for the great activity that has been shown by the local authori ties in providing extra medical aid, it is believed that its progress would have been much more rapid, as a very large amount of diarrhoea is discovered and arrested by the house-to-house visitation of the medical inspectors. Handbills are largely circulated, pointing out the great danger of neglecting looseness of the bowels while the epidemic influence is present, but, notwithstanding all efforts of the authorities and the medical visitors, many cases occur in which diarrhoea is allowed to pass un checked into developed cholera. The epidemic is of a virulent type, and deaths are in most cases very ra p id. It is hoped that as the medical inspection becomes more complete, more and mo r e cases of diarrhoea will be brought under treatment. The town council met on Wednesday, the Mayor pre siding. Mr. Grainger, the inspector of the B oard of Health, stated his views t o the meeting with grea t free dom and force as to the necessity of immediately carry ing into effect the provisions of the Common Lodgmg house Act, for which he made out a case of cryin g necessity from his recent inspection of the rooms in Saudgate. His remarks told well upon the meeting, and with remarkable and praiseworthy unanimity they at once voted 5001., and appointed a committee to regu late the disposal of the money. A. resolution was also adopted for using the powers of the ac - , and regulating the number of persons in each lodging-house, and closing any rooms which may be deemed unfit for human habi tation. It was remarked by Mr. Grainger, that Gates head exhibited a perfect contrast to Newcastle with re gard to the lodging-houses. There thay had b een regis tered and properly attended to ; and the result was, that only one case of cholera had occurred in thos e lodging rooms ; and that was a man who had been absent a week at Newcastle, and had before his return to Gateshe in fact, caug ht the disease ad. The resol ution of the council, it appears, cannot be of legal force w ithout the consent of the Secretary of State ; and it was agreed that a telegraphic communication should be sent to him immediately. I esterday evening Mr. Brent, the deputy coroner for the western division of Middlesex, held an inquiry, at the Black Bull Inn, Hammersmith, into the circum astnaengceeds t a o tt h e a n ‘ d .e a b nt oneeunprnurtdheerdedeatbhy o h f er E h li u z s a b b a e n th d, Hay alleged Hayes, near Shepherd's-bush-market, on the night of Saturday last. The jury viewed the body, which was lying in a low dirty house in the neighbourhood. The upper part of the poor woman's body was covered with bruises, and on the throat were marks which seemed to indicate that the deceased had been choked. Much excitement prevailed in consequence of an an anouncement which had been made that the coroner bad applied to the Home Secretary for the attendance of the prisoner at the inquest. If such an application were made, it was rejected. Mr. Martin, solicitor, attended for the prosecution. Johanna Lines, of 23, Lower Brook-green-place, stated the deceased woman was her sister. She was about 42 years of age. Her husband was a labouring man. Her sister died at six o'clock on Sunday night. Deceased was brought to her house in a state of in sensibility, from being beaten, on a shutter by the police. She went out on Saturday in good spirits—in fact, she was never merrier in her life.

On inqu ring he heard that a woman, drunk and insensible, was lying behind some buildings there. He found her lying on her side. She opened one of her eyes, but the other was so bruised and swollen that she could not open it. Her clothes were not torn, but her bonnet-string was untied, and her shawl unpinned; She did not utter a word. She was conveyed on a stretcher to Brook-green station, and afterwards to her sister-in-law's house. By a Juror—He was not able to say whether or not deceased was intoxicated. She had been vomiting, and was in fact vomiting when witness saw her. There was no smell of liquour, as far as he could detect. She was found in a place which bad been dug out for foun dations for houses. It was a very considerable depth. There was no thoroughfare past the house. The depth was four or five feet. A person intoxicated could not have got there, inasmuch as it would be necessary to get over railings to reach the spot where deceased was found. Policeman 69 T (John Searle) corroborated the evi dence of the last witness, and added that he saw Hayes standing near the place where deceased was afterwards found. He asked witness to come away. He was trembling very much, and sighed heavily. Witness thought he had fallen asleep there under the influence of drink ; and as there had been two robberies committed there, witness requested him to come out ; but he an swered with an oath that he would not. Witness told him he would lock him up if he did not come out, and he then, after some hesitation, came into the road. Every word he uttered " shook," but this witness sup posed might be attributable to the cold and fog which prevailed. All this occurred about six yards from the spot where deceased was found ; but on account of the fog, witness could not see the woman. He afterwards described the dress and appearance of the man he had seen to Inspector Cook e ; and after his capture he iden tified him in the cell of the station-house. By a Juror—He had to get under the railings to ar rive at the spot where he saw the man. It could only be reached by getting under or over the railings. By the Coroner—The deceased woman came to him on Saturday night about eleven o'clock, while he was on his beat, and asked him to accompany her to her husband, as she wanted to speak to him. She said there was another woman with him, and she was afraid of going to him without protection. She was perfectly sober then. Witness recommended her not to have anything to do with a drunken man. She said the advice was very good, and thereupon went away. He did not hear the woman groan when he was persuading the man to leave the spot where he saw him. If she had groaned he must have heard her. Thomas Taylor, a labouring man, said he knew the deceased woman, having seen her come with Hayes's meals while he was working with him. He bad known Hayes some years. He saw the deceased woman with Hayes about eleven o'clock on Saturday night. She asked him to go home. He said nothing to her, but knocked her down. She got up, and he knocked her down again. She got up again and ran behind witness. He told her to get away, lest her husband should think they were harbouring her. There were several Irish men near at the time, and I was afraid of them. The Coroner.—You would not assist the woman for fear the husband would be bitter against you ? Witness.—Yes. Hayes then kicked at her, and said be would kick her brains out. Deceased then ran down the market, and Hayes followed her, remarking " I will do for you to-night." A juror asked the Coroner whether it would be pos sible for the jury to have the prisoner before them ? The Coroner.—We shall see. Witness continued.—He thought Hayes behaved very improperly to his wife, but he would not protect her for the reasons already stated. Hayes appeared to be in liquor at the time of the occurreuce, He had had many conversations with Hayes, but never heard him say anything disrespectful about his wife. Edward George, a labouring man.—Had known the deceased woman about 18 months. When he became acquainted with her she was living with her husband, in William-street, He had not seen her for about five weeks until Saturday evening last, when she came with her husband, into Shephard's-bush-market. Hayes said something to her, and then knocked her down. Deceased was perfectly sober ; Hayes was not. When he knocked her down a second time he said, "I will knock (or kick) your brains out." Taylor the last wit ness, had his goods knocked over, and complained to the police, who took him into custody and charged him with being drunk and disorderly. The magistrate dis charged him, as there was no case against him. The constable said Taylor struck him for interfering with his wife. Witness--Saw Hayes and his wife go towards the Shepherd's Bush Hotel • the woman was first. He did not hear Hayes say " I will do for you to-night," or use any expression of the sort. He saw Hayes kick at his wife, but whether he actually kicked her or not he could not say. After deceased was knocked down the second time she could not run away ; she was too feeble. She came to witness to protect her, but he would not have anything to do with her, for there were many Irish people present, and they were a rum lot of people to get into a row with. (Laughter.) They would hit one with a stick or a pickaxe. Mr. John Brown, surgeon, of Hammersmith, said he had known the deceased woman two or three years, and had occasionally attended her professionally. He saw the deceased at the police-station on Sunday. She was in an insensible state. She bad received a severe blow on the right eye and on the right jaw. Those were the chief external injuries. He saw her again later on Sunday, and he found she was rapidly sinking. He ordered her removal to her sister's house, and there she died. On making a post-mortem examination he found a cut about an inch above butthe eye. That was an in ternal injury from a fall, the skin was not cut, but it was indented. Oil opening the head he found a fusion of blood in the two ventricles ; there was also a fusion of blood on the surface of the braia. In the stomach there were three pieces of cauliflower, and it was otherwise nearly empty. She died from an effusion of blood on the brain caused by a blow or a fall. Taylor (recalled) said he did not see where the de ceased was struck by her husband, but it was not 0: - . 1 the face, When she fell she fell on her back. He was eti fe she fell on her back both times. Emily Shirley, residing at Shepherd's-bush, stated that she did not know the deceased very well. She saw her on Saturday night near the Royal Hotel, Shepherd's bush. She asked her if she (the witness) was going down the market ? Some time after witness saw her knocked down by her husband. She got up and went down the market, but Hayes stood still. Afterwards she turned down to a place called the Island. There were two or three steps to go down, and she called out "Jem, Jem." Afterwards she saw Hayes knock the deceased woman's head against the wooden railing of Mr. Robin son's gate, exclaiming "Take that ! I will do for you soon." Deceased said nothing, and witness was too much frightened to give an alarm. What she witnessed occurred within a few yard of the spot on which the body was afterwards found. Witness knew Hayes, and could swear to his person. She saw him last on Sunday morning. Edmund Lines, the husband of the first witness, saw deceased and her husband togetl - er on Saturday evening at six o'clock. They then appeared to be on very good term together. Re had known Hayes to thrash his wife frequently. He 2_ , ad beaten her before he got mar ried. He did not think sale deserved it. They cohabited before they were married. lie saw Hayes on Sunday afternoon, and told him that his ;Ole was in a very bad state at the police-station. He r ep-lied that he knew nothing about it, and that h© had n 6t seen her since 8.6 added, that eight o'clock on the preceding n i g ht. at that time she was so drunk s he could not staDd.., Well, this, witness saw Hayes again, when he said, w?"

He would not, however, hold out any hope in i that respect. Several jurors thought it would be very desirable to have the prisoner at the adjournment. The Coroner said, if the prisoner were present at the next inquiry the depositions should be read over to him, an d to any other witnesses who might be brought forward. The inquiry was then adjourned. ii lid .30 - 32 98 - 102 MINES. 1 all Agua Fria p 108. all Anglo Californian 10 2 Australasian 1 4 d 20 6 Australian 2 -- 24 21 1 all Australian Cordillera A d 1 all Australian Freehold d, 1 1 all Ave Maria - 2 (311 1 all Baden (Gd.

I The local board of health here is on th e alert, owing to the cholera having made its appearanc e in the neigh bouring town of Newcastle. The town has been divided in,,o districts, and, with the officer of health and the inspector of nuisances, the members of the board have made a personal inspection of all the alleys and courts. They found an abundance of nuisances likely to be pre. judicial to health and to aid in developing disease ; pig styes in close and confined places, surcharged ashpits and dunghills, with, in some places, pigs sporting about among the garbage and refuse on the dunghills. Prompt orders were given for the abatement of all the nuisances ; the drains and sewers were well flushed on Saturday night by means of the mains of the water company, and they are to be again cleansed out at the end of this week. A supply of whitewash brushes and chloride of lime has been obtained for the use of the poor, and a man has been specially appointed to go about, de die in diem, to see that the orders of the board are strictly carried out. The board met on Saturday, and again on Wednesday morning. The following handbill has been issued : "The local board of health earnestly request the in habitants of Darlington to pay the strictest attention, at this particular season, to the following instructions, so as to assist the board in carrying out the necessary sanitary regulations, whereby any prevailing epidemic influence may in a great degree be mitigated, if not entirely counteracted :-1. The daily cleansing of all courts, yards, alleys, gutters, and drains, and the prompt removal of all filth and garbage therefrom ; 2. That the contents of ashpits, dunghills, privies, and pigstyes be removed between the hours of 12 at night and 6 in the morning ; and that during the process chloride of lime be freely used, in order to prevent the escape of noxious effluvia ; 3. That all persons effec tually cleanse and whitewash the interior of their dwell ings, where requisite, and the external walls in crowded courts and yards." CHRISTIANIA.—DEATH OF MR. BRADSHAW.—The fol lowing is from Christiania, Sept. 10 :—" Grim death is stalking about amongst us, mowing down indiscrimi nately, whilst all nature appears smiling around, unin terrupted sunshine and perfectly clear and serene sky, with agreeable temperature. Already 800 have been swept off by cholera, and still upwards of sixty a day bite the dust. Only one Englishman yet—Mr. Brad shaw, the veritable Bradshaw, who had come over to collect data for his new Continental Guide, had only been in the town three days ; he was, however, ner vous, and had been incessantly taking preventives. From apparent perfect health, six hours' illness was sufficient to usher him before his Maker." BAYSWATER.--Already the cholera has appeared at Bayswater, carrying off a woman of the name of Mary Hagger, who resided at No. 10, Elms-place. The un fortunate woman was seized yesterday morning, and immediately conveyed to St. Mary's Hospital, where Mr. Baker, attended by the medical staff, was unre mitting in his attention to relieve her sufferings, but death terminated them shortly after her admission.

Mr. J. G. Hubbard, governor, in the chair. The minutes of the former meeting having been read and confirmed, The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, I have now to ac quaint you that this is one of the general quarterly courts appointed by the charter, and that it is also one of the half-yearly general courts appointed by the 12th by-law for the making of dividends. I have also to state that the net profits of the half-year ending on the 30th of August last were 584,5571. 7s. id., making the amount of the rest on that day 3,596,6741. 14s. Bd., and that after plaviding a dividend of 41. per cent., the rest would be 3,014,5581. 9s. 2d. The Court of Direc tors, therefore, propose that a dividend of 4/. per cent. be made (if this Court think fit) of interest and profits for the half-year ending the 31st of August last, without deduction on account of income-tax, and I beg to put a resolution to that effect to the meeting. Mr. CookE seconded the proposition with great plea sure, because he felt that the dividend was the result of the prudent management of the directors during the past year—first, in making money easy for general convenience in the early part of the year ; then, in giving assistance to more extended and legitimate com merce ; and, in the next place, by putting a check on the most extravagant speculation, which was likely to result in disastrous consequences, thereby preventing the substratum of the public credit from being frittered away by vile speculation. While the directors had been consulting the public interest, it seemed to have fol lowed, as a matter of course, that the interest of the proprietors had been likewise greatly benefited, and therefore the public as well as themselves must be satis fied with the result, for if they consulted their own in terests alone—which, he hoped, would never be the case —and let the public interest be neglected, they would subject themselves most justly to considerable blame. He believed they were not exclusively met on that day for the purpose of considering the dividend, and that it was open to th em t o l oo k to what might be their pros pects in future. When they considered what had taken place in their close neighbourhood, at the India House, it should put them in mind that the circumstances of their corporation must likewise undergo some revision. When they looked back to the year 1830, a considerable alteration took place in regard to the charter. A large sum at that time Mr. GRAY must appeal to the Court whether the ob servations of the honourable proprietor were relevant to the subject before them. Mr. CooKE would be happy to submit to the opinion of the Court if it was thought that he was travelling out of order, but he considered it was a legitimate course to go into what might be their future prospects. The CHAIRMAN would be sorry personally, or on the Part of the directors, to check the honou ra bl e pro prietor, but having been appealed to, he felt bound to say that the observations were not exactly in point on the question of dividend. It was hardly desirable to make any observations on the general subject, unless the proprietors present wished to listen to them. Mr. CooKE would not press his observations. There would be time enough next year to put them forward. Therefore, he should merely say that he felt great plea sure in seconding the proposition, and he was sure there would be no dissention on that point. The resolution was put and passed unanimously. The CHAIRMAN—I have only now to acquaint the Court that the dividend will be paid on Tuesday, the 11th of October next. The Court then adjourned. THE RIVER PLATE. By the Great Western we have received news of the pacification of Buenos Ayres. It appears that Urquiza has been forced to retreat to Entrerois without men or means, and, as he seems to have confirmed the impression previously entertained of his total want of capacity as a leader or an adminis trator, it may be hoped that his power of disturb ing the country is now ended. At the same time it is to be borne in mind that he still arrogates the position of head of the confederation, and also that, as his defeat has been effected merely by bribing his partisans, the same men are likely at any future time to create a fresh war for the sake of being bought again in a similar manner. The following letter describes the position and prospects of the Government under the altered condition of affairs. Some hope seems to exist of efforts at retrenchment, and extensive plans of immigration , es p eciall y from Italy, are also mentioned a; likely to be effec tively carried out, the result of the wa r havin g greatly increased the influence of the European residents : ,c Buenos Ayres is once more enjoying the blessings of peace, but how long it may last it is not easy to say. The people are naturally much exasperated against Urquiza, who brought so many calamities upon their country under the pretence of benefits. The whole besieging army dispersed, and in the course of two or three days scarcely an armed man was to be seen who did not belong to the city. In fact, they appeared to have been panic-struck, for they left their arms, camp-kettles, correspondence, and even their com missariat chest, which, however, was not a very rich prize to the victors. The correspondence of the foreign Ministers with Urquiza is also said to have fallen into their hands, Urquits, precipitately embarked in foreign vessels of war with some 500 or 600 men, for Entrerios, where he fanned iii safety, Lagos escaped into the in terior. He suspected treason in every officer, and each thought the other was false to himself. rrquiza par ticipated in this distrust j Which is said to have been created by the clever a n d ijilsetupillotl9 intrigues of Lorenzo Torres, the Minister of Government, who carried on a false correspondence with the different chiefs, and by means of his agents caused the letters to be intercepted by those they were intended to deceive. It is said the foreign diplomatists were unconsciously made participators in his designs. He outwitted all ; even General Paz, the Minister of War was imposed upon. Nicholas Anchorena, who was elected provisional governor, having declined the honour an account of his advanced age and infirmities. Pastor Obligado was named by a majority of the Chambers. He is well spoken of as a man of respectable character, good possessions, and of influence in the province, as well as in Buenos Ayres. He retains the Ministry appointed by his late predeces sor. Judging from the price of doubloons, which have fallen to 300 since the restoration of peace, the public have some confidence in the future ; but it Is scarcely likely the people of Buenos Ayres will allow UrVIZS to be quiet, as long as he retains the title of Director of the Argentine Confederation ; and, if he is wise, he will renounce it, and follow the example that General Oribe is about to set him. If Buenos Ayres, how ever, can manage to remain at peace for some time with the sister provinces and her neighbours, and will reform and economise her administration, the English bondholders may entertain some hope of receivinc , a por tion of their divide nds. Radical reforms are spoken of, and if personal jealousies and intrigues do not intervene to mar their good intentions, considerable improvements will no doubt be cgtried, out; It is said the quantity of cattle destroyed by t he rebels is hot tco great as wag ex peeted, Everybody speaks with admiration of the con duct of the foreigners who bore arms in defenet , of the City, particularly of the Italians , of whom there We'r Promooo td 600 , Co unt Olivieri (who com man d e d t h em ) , it is reperted, will shortly proceed to Italy to bring out a number of his country men to form a militar y colony, at Ba hia Blanca, arid other immigration schemes are talked of. The Governinent and people Of Buenos Ayres are so convinced of its importance to - 816 tutu - I'e peace and prosperity of their country that they protnisk to exert every effort to promote the immigration of Europeans. The foreign association formed to supersede the office of diplomatists is said to have great weight and influ ence with the Government, and has done more to ob tain the release of foreign vessels detained on the Coast and to promote the interests of commerce in a few days than ail the efforts of diplomatists would have accomplished in as mall weeks, perhaps months. No doubt the Government of Buenos Ayres affords this associ6.tioit every relief and assistance, a good deal from policy, to show its marked disapprobation of the conduct of the foreign Nlinisters during the recent strUgglo. If the association is able to maintain its ground, there can be no doubt it will be extremely Majesty's beneficial to commere. Mr. Parish, h er Vice-Consul, being, it is said, appointed to the Argen tine Contedera,tion, cannot be permitted to exercise his office at Buenos Ayres, which forms no part of the Con federation. In the meantime Mr. Hood, who has filled the post of Consul for some years, to the great satisfac tion of the British merchants and community, has been recalled, and will 6 leave the city . the do ub for thisloon ; paper place ina few days.

Wilts da Somrstl ai xd ROYAL AUSTRALIAN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. Yesterday an extraordinary meeting of the share holders of this company were held at the London Tavern, to take into consideration the recommendations of the committee of investigation as to the future ma nagement of the company. Mr. Frith, the chairman of the company, presided. Mr. .HENDERSON moved a resolution to the effect that the qualification of a director should be reduced from 100 to 50 shares, and justified it by alleging that as the number of shareholders possessing 100 shares was so few, it presented but a narrow field from which to select competent directors. Mr. GURNEY seconded the motion. Mr. B. LANCASTER considered that as the company had lost the confidence of the public, and were now going to appoint a new directory, which was tantamount to the formation of a new company, the best course would be, to avoid all further loss, to dissolve the com pany, and, with the least possible sacrifice, realise the assets of the company ; and he therefore begged leave to move the adjournment of the meeting for fourteen days, when he should move a resolution in the spirit of his observations. Mr. MEEK considered that nothing could be more sui cidal, ruinous, and, if he might use the term, ridiculous, than the course suggested by Mr. Lancaster. Mr. Mums had hopes of the ultimate success of the company, as every steam navigation company with which he was acquainted had gone through a period of diffi culties. Over all these companies the present had a supe riority in the possession of a royal charter, and in trading with the richest and most rising portion of the empire. Mr. KENNEDY found fault with the manner in which the committee bad spoken of the directors, and insinuated that they had been actuated by a desire to become their successors. He had calculated that a dissolution would only involve a loss of 2/. per share. I Mr. AMBROSE MOORE repelled the insinuations, and I asked why Mr. Hawes—one of the directors--had not defended himself and colleagues at the last meeting, when the directors brought forward their report, instead of having since written a pamphlet in answer to that report. Mr. HAwEs replied that he had recourse to the writing of the pamphlet alluded to, because he had been anxious that what he had to state might be soberly considered. He wished that the directors should be considered free from opprobrium, but was ready to acknowledge a want of success in their management. He should not, how ever, sit quietly under the imputation that the board of directors had been guilty of jobbing, and he thought that he had a right to call on the committee for the grounds they had for making the charge. With regard to the amendments, he had to observe that if they were unable to select as directors efficient men, in whom the public might have confidence, their best course would be to wind up their affairs at once, as delay only made mat ters worse, and increased their difficulties. He did not in saying this retract what he had before stated, that the company would be yet a paying concern. It only wanted an efficient management to make it what it ought to be. The CHAIRMAN then put Mr. Lancaster's amendment, which was lost on the show of hands. Both Mr. COxHEAD and Mr. SHEPHERD here rose to propose other amendments, that of the former gentleman being in effect a vote of confidence in the present board, but as Mr. Shepherd had first caught the eye of the chairman, he proceeded to move his, to the effect that the consideration of the question be postponed to the 4th of next month, and that, in the meantime, applica tion be made for the consent of the Board of Trade to an alteration in the deed of settlement, doing away with the clause which requires the qualification to be held for six months, which, after a long and desultory debate, was agreed to. The committee and chairman received the thanks of the meeting, when the proceedings terminated. ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES, LETTER FROM THE AMERICAN AMBASSADOR TO THE LIVERPOOL AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The Liverpool American Chamber of Commerce forwarded an invitation to the Hon. James Bu chanan, the new ambassador for the United States to this country, immediately after his arrival in England. The following reply has been received from him, from which it will be seen that he is not able to accept the invitation at present. It will be seen that Mr. Buchanan's letter enters somewhat fully into several questions of interest. It is as follows : " United States Legation, London, Sept. 5, 1853. " Sir, —I have had the honour to receive the resolu tion adopted on the 30th ult., by the American Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool, inviting me to a banquet to be given by them, as a mark of respect and welcome upon my appointment as minister of the United States of America to England, and requesting me to name a day when it will best suit my convenience to attend. " Whilst highly and gratefully appreciating this honour, I regret that it is impossible for me, with a ' due regard to my public duties in London, to say when, if at all, their kind invitation could be accepted. I feel, therefore, constrained respectfully to decline it. In doing this, however, I beg to assure them that no man in either country estimates more highly than myself the commerce conducted between Liverpool and the United States ; and no man more ardently desires that it may long continue to exten d itself in p eace and prosperity, and to confer mutual be nefits u p on both n ations. " The period in the world's history seems at length to have arrived when mankind have discovered that narrow and unjust restriction s u p on forei gn trade most surely ow defeat their own obje c t , a nd when selfishness itself is enlisted in favour of a liberal policy. The philanthropist at the same time rejoices in the knowledge that the mutual dependence which commerce creates between nations is the surest preventive of war, by rendering peac ;e the interest of all. Fo r my own part, I firmly believe that the unsettled questions known to exist be tween Great Britain and the United States, judged alone according to the value of the material interests involved, are not worth six months' suspension of the trade be tween the two countries. It is, therefore, greatly to be desired that these questions should be speedily, ho nourably, and finally adjusted, and that hereafter both nations should enjoy a smooth sea and a cloudless sky for a friendly competition in all the pursuits calculated to enlighten and benefit the human race. The greatest revolution, so far as the interest of commerce and ma nufactures is concerned, which has ever been commenced among men, is that now in apparently successful pro gress in China. Should this terminate in opening a free access to that vast empire of 300,000,000 of human beings, the United States and Great Britain will have a harvest presented before them which, even with all their energy, e nterprise, and resources, they will scarcely be ' able to reap. Then will a noble and generous rivalry also spring up between them, which shall contribute most effectually to promote the cause of Christianith civilisation, and freedom among this ancient and strange people. " With sentiments of great respect, " I remain your obedient servant, "JAMES BUCHANAN. " William Brown, Esq., 31.P,1 Chairman; &C. NAVA 'ENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 15. The Princess Royal, 90, was docked to-day in the factory basin dock to complete for trial. Such has been the expedition with which this ship has been worked upon since launching by the engineer department of this steam factory that she will be ready for trial at Spithead in about three weeks. She will be ready to get up steam in her boilers in about one week from the present time. It is believed to be the Admiralty's intention to man and officer this ship and the Cressy (sister vessels) from the London and Prince Regent, sailing 90's, now in Rear-Admiral Corry 's division of the Chan nel fleet. The Fairy Royal. yacht, Muster Commander Welch, shipped Mr. Scott s patent two-bladed screw this after noon, and will make a trial of it on Monday. It appears like the old form of screw, with a piece cut out of each blade, making it resemble the letter Z. It weighs double the weight of her old screw. The Dauntless, 24, screw. frigate, was removed from the steam basin dock ..to the basin to-day, to continue her fittings for sea. It is rumoured Captain Adams, late of the Gladiator, will have the command of her. The Sprightly steam tender, Mr. 'George Allen, Acting Master - Commanding, proceeded to Plymouth ' with supernumeraries, &c., on Tuesday evening, and re turned thence at 3 o'clock this morning. She has coaled, and is again ready f9r service. At the monthly agililaion of candidates for promo tion and entry into the navy at the Royal Naval College yesterday and to day, the following passed : Mates for Lieutenants.—Messrs. W. D. D. Selby, J. A. F. Luttrell, and H. St. John de Robeck. Second Masters for Masters.—Messrs. E. Wise and B. D. Connor. For entry as Naval Cadets.—A. L. Nugent, H. J. Clifford, T. H. Tapp ; and Messrs. G. B. Evans, E. Pilkington, and G. H. Blake, from Mr. Eastman's pre. paratory college. For entry as Clerks' Assistants,—W. Ward, J. Rivers, B. Mitford, and H. F. Alldricks. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 14. The Lords of the Admiralty, at an early hour this morning, accompanied by Colonel Jebb, inspected the steamyard at Keyham, the Gunwharf, and ,the Royal Arsenal, with a view to sel ec t a sui t a ble sit'g from the Ordnance land on which to erect a prison for the recep tion of convicts, who are to be employed on Govern. ment works now that the system of transportation is abolished. Their lordships proceeded direct from the Black Eagle to Keyham, where they were received by Mr. R. Townsend, civil engineer, the engineer in charge of the works. A full account of this establishment ap peared in The Sun of the 20th of May, when the new caissons of Messrs. Grissel and Co. were tested. Since that period the officers offices have been completed, and the buildings for the military main guard, and for the police have been advanced. The fitting and erecting shops to the south of the great quadrangle, and the brass and copper smiths' shops to the east, are in a for ward state. The water pipes and mains are laid, and the ground is in progress of being levelled. The enormous crane by Fairburn, of Manchester, will be completed in a week. Thi s ponderous machine plumbs 35 feet, and will be tested to the extent of 60 tons ; the jib end stands 67 feet above high water mark, which is considerably higher than the buildings of the Quadrangle, to the west of which, and on th e edge of the north basin, it is erected. A tunnel, 11 feet by 12 feet, from Keyham under New passage to the Gunwharf and dockyard is to be constructed ; about 100 yards of the northern mouth piece are already finished. The new steam-yard is in tended to be opened on th e 15 t h of October.lt is un known whether any public display will take place. Should the Lords of the Admiralty come down, it is very probable that the Channel fleet will be ordered to rendezvous at Plymouth. The south basin, with its locks and docks, and the caissons, are all ready for ser vice, and in case the fleet came here, one of the largest ships would most likely be selected to go into this basin through the entrance lock, the foundation of which was laid by Lord Auckland in 1845. The Lords of the Admiralty, after expressing their approval of the advanced state of the works, went to the Gunwharf, and then proceeded to the dockyard, where they were received by Commodore Seymour and the principal officers. The staff, artisans, and labourers were mustered, when they returned to their duties, and their Lordships proceeded to the storehouses, masthouse, and sail loft, in which sails are preparing for the Mada gascar, Saracen, and Scorpion. The bleckmakers are busily engaged making blocks for the Keyham works. These buildings have been examined, the ships under construction were inspected. In slip No. 1 is the 50-gun frigate Narcissus, 1,996 tons, 180 feet long, 50 feet 10 inches broad, and 15 feet 10 inches deep. She was begun in October, 1849, and can be completed next year. In slip No. 2, the 50-gun frigate Phcebe (sister to the Narcissus), 2,043 tons, 180 feet long, 51. feet 6 inches broad, 16 feet 6 inches deep, begun August, 1848, is in a forward state, and could be launched this year. In slip No. 3, the 90-gun ship Algiers, converting into a screw, 3,165 tons, 210 feet long, increased say 9 feet, entire length 219 feet, 60 feet broad, 24 feet 5 inches deep, begun July, 1848, is ready for launching. In slip No. 4, the 90-gun ship Exmouth is in course of conversion into a screw, 3,093 tons, 204 feet long, 60 feet broad, 23 feet 8 inches deep. To be completed by the close of the finadcial year, March 31, 1854. In slip No. 5 is the 100-gun screw-ship Conqueror, 3,300 tons, 240 feet long, 55 feet 6 inches broad, 2 i feet 6 inches deep ; keel just laid down. Besides these, the new screw-ship James Watt, 90, is ' receiving her boilers, weighing 11 tons each, in the North Dock ; the Cambrian, 40, is repairing in No. 3 dock ; the D ae dalus, 20, is being stripped, and the Leander, 50, is refitting. The Lords of the Admiralty left the arsenal at 5 o'clock, and dined in the evening with Port-Admiral Sir John Ommanney, at Mount Wise. The Avon steamer is appointed to sail to-day with riggers for Pembroke, to navigate the Ca3sar, 90, screw ship, to this port. SHEERNESS, SEPT. 15. The Cyclops paddle-wheel steam transport, Master- Commander Pope, passed down Sea-reach yesterday, from Woolwich, at 2 p.m., for the westward. At 4 p.m. yesterday the Netherlands ship Hendrika, of Rotterdam, H. Reiniersen, commander, from London. bround to Melbourne with a general cargo and 26 pas sengers (emigrants), arrived here in tow of the steam-tug Eagle. Captain Reiniersen reports that between 12 and 1 o'clock on the night of the 13th instant., his ship then being off Dungeness, the light bearing N.W. by N., and Cape Grisnez E,S.E., the wind at the time southerly, the ship being so closehauled as to keep the jib and stay sail shivering in the wind, he was run on board of by a deep-laden English ship comibg .nirChannel free. The Hendrika was struck between the starboard cathead and the forerigging, by which her foremast and maintopmast were carried away, and considerable damage was done to the hull by the anchor of the ship (supposed to be the Sea Park, from Ceylon). The full figure of a man of colour, representing the great African traveller Mungo Park, was left on the deck of the Hendrika, also part of the standing and running rigging of a bowsprit and jib boom, which was cut away to clear the ships. The masts and wreck of ;the Hendrika were cut away to prevent further damage being done to her hull. A survey (by Lloyd's surveyors) will be held immediately on the da mage, preparatory to repairs taking place. Captain Reiniersen has proceeded to London to his agents for advice and instructions. The ship is perfectly tight, the damage all being above the copper. JERSEY, SETT. 12. The First Lord of the Admiralty, with Admiral Dun das and Captain Milne, accompanied by Lord Raglan, Sir John Burgoyne, and Col. c A tor, R. A., arrived at Ald er ney on Friday morning, diad devoted the greater part of the day to the inspection of the forts and the har bour of refuge works in Broye-bay, accompanied by Gen. Sir John, Bell (governor), Col. Alexander, R.E., Colonel Fraser, R.A., and Mr. Walker and Mr. Cooper, civil engineers. In the afternoon the party crossed to Guern sey in the Black Eagle and Vivid steamers. After in specting the Guernsey Artillery on Saturday morning, they arrived in our harbour (St. Heliers), at 4.30 p.m., when they were met by our Lieutenant-Governor, Gene ral Love, and by our bailiff, Sir Thomas Le Breton. They have since inspected the harbour of refuge works now in progress in St. Catherine's-bay, Mr.'Walker and Mr. Cooper, with Mr. Bean, the contractoic Ai being in at tendence. • • • The harbour will contain about an area of t5O acres, and will, when finished, be most useful as shelter from storms in these dangerous seas, there being at present no harbour in which vessels can run for refuge at low water. Their lordships are expected to leave to-morrow. -- _ ----- SUICIDE OF AN AGED MAL —Yesterday morning William Crowhurst, a man upwards of seventy years of age, and formerly a porter in the Bank of England, committed suicide by hanging himself in his bedroom, at his lodgings, Little Bell-alley, Moorfields. He was is covered hanging by a cord susp ended from, a nail in hs door. No cause whatever ca n be assigned at present for the commission of the act, as the deceased appeared in his itaual health, and Was pot suffisring under pa. cuniary embarrassment, as a sovereign, a - half-sovereign, and some silver, were found in his pocket. MELANCHOLY SIIICIDE.—The town of Dorchester was, yesterday morning, greatly shocked by the perpetration of an act of determined suicide by Mr. John Edwards, surgeon. The unfortunate gentleman appears to have been labouring under some pecuniary difficulties, and between nine and ten o'clock the sheriff's officer appeared at the house to put in an execution. Mr. Edwards' ma to se rvant, who had been just engaged in assisting him dress, informed his master that the officer, ca whic h lling Mrhim by his name, wished to speak w ith him, upon . Edwards desired his servant to leave the room, saying he would be down stairs directly. It then appears that the man w acco ho mpanied the officer for the posse ssion fancied he heard purpose of remaining in po a gurgling kind of n oise, and appre hen rusheding on t h e mo. men t that something was wrong, dup stairs, and found Mr. Edwards lying on his bed gasping, an d in the agonies of death. He raised an alarm, and medi cal assistance was immediately sent for, but the unhappy man expired in a very few minutes. On a search being made, a small bottle, which had contained prussic acid, was found by his bed-side, and there was no doubt that he h a d d e stroyed life by swallowing a very large dose of that deadly poison. It is fat h er , likewise a surgeon, remarkable that the deceased' who for many years enjoyed a very extensive and superior practice in this town and n eighbourhood, came to an untimely end, between thirty and forty years ago, by deliberately opening the jugular vein before a looking-glass with a scalping-knife. The deceased many dwas a very kind and humane man , and ren dered gratuitous and valuable services to the poor and needy in his vicinity. He was a widower, about 54 years of age, and has left a daughter about 1 5 to mourn I his loss. 25 25 St. 50 St. 10 St. St. 100 42 34 100 all 3 100 100 100 100 100 21s. 1 ,100 t
