AUSTRALIAN MAIL ROUTES. We have had the battle of the gauges and we now have the battle of the mail routes with Singapore, Cape Horn, Panama, and Cape of Good Hope for war cries. The origin of this battle, which will be fought fiercely on paper, is the struggle now going on for the carrying trade between England and the Australian El Dorado. Government has refused to complete the monthly mail steam-packet communication with Australia until all the routes to that country have been thoroughly tested, and it is for a national prize that numbers are now trying how fast they can get ships to go half way round the world and back again. The distance to Australia is about 13,000 miles, reckoning Sydney as the goal for ships going eastward, and Melbourne for ships going westward. We have paddle-wheel steamers, such as the American mail packets, which run regularly 3,000 miles without stopping in less than 11 days. We have screw steamers, such as the Bengal, which can average above 250 miles a day. According to the rate or speed of the American mail packets, the 13,000 miles to Australia ought to be performed in less than 50 days, allowing for stoppages ; and according to the rate of speed of the Bengal steamer, the distance ought to be performed in about 55 days by screw vessels. Now, the voyage out or home to or from the farthest Australian ports, has rarely been performed in less than 80 days. The shortest route to all the principal Australian ports is undoubtedly the Singapore one, and this has proved to be the quickest one for the homeward race. The Cape of Good Hope route has proved to be the quickest for the outward race. The best route out and home to meet with favourable winds, at pre sent known, is to go to Australia by way of the Cape of Good Hope, and to return to Eugla'id by way of Cape Horn. The Panama route has not yet been tried. There are four competitors at present struggling for supremacy, viz., the Peninsular and Oriental, the General Screw, and the Australian Mail Companies, and the owners of the Great Western steam-ship, and con sidering the splendid prize for which they are striving, and the difficulties they have to encounter, there is nothing like this contention in ancient or modern times. The Peninsular and Oriental Company are trying the Singapore route ; they have performed the homeward route the quickest of any, and shortly expect to do it in less than sixty days. The General Screw Company have reached Australia in the shortest time on record, and they have formed the daring project of corning home by way of Cape Horn, and thus race - round the world by steam, a feat hitherto unattempted. The Australian Mail Company, after encounteriu , _ , storms of abuse and ridicule for their ill-success, are still manfully strugg lin g for the , olden prize. Tne own ers of the Great B ritain are celebrated for employing the largest steam %e-isel yet engaged in this magnificent race. In a few months the Au. , tra!ian RaciiiCi Company sail enter ea the struggle, by traversing with steam the gi cat Ocean. There can be doubt but what the Cape of Good Hope route, to and. from Australia, would be the most temptin: 2 ; to pas:ien ,, ers, by which they would avoid the heats of India, the tempests - of Cape Horn, awl th e elvers of Paama, but unfortunately the very winds that as•ist steamer from .Alg-oa.

I then saw Ni c bolls feel the front of the dress of a lady who was a ith a gentleman. Busher stood behind the lady. They then left the lady and gentleman and had some conversation with Picket, who was on the lighter, and whom I then first saw. The;• then all three returned to the lady and gomleinan, Nicholls an I Busher going in front, and Picket standin;.; close behind the lady and gentlemen, and pashing them on to the other• two prisoners. The lady and gentleman finding that they were so pressed, moved to another part of the lighter. The three pri,o ners were then all left together, and at that moment a Gravesend boat came alongside, anti a lady (Mrs. Kir , :her) came on the lighter from the boat, having in her hand a bandhov. Pusher then closed on her right side and put his left hand into her pocket, Picket Icing on the one side of hini and Nicholls on the other. As soon as he drew Lis hand from Mrs. Kircher's pocket I took boil of it, and said, "What have you got here?" He made no reply, and I took this purse, with its con tents, out of his baud. I called the female hack, and called for assistance, being then alone. I had Busher in custody. and several persons assisted in taking the other two prisoners, whom I pointed - out, saying to the two prisoners that I charged them with being concerned in picking the lady's pocket, a charge to which they :mule To reply. an► quite sure they were all three acting in concert together. Mrs. Mary- Ann Kircher, widow, residing at Otter• dean in Kent, and who clone up by the Gravesend pAcket yesterday, and landed at London-bridge, proved having lost the purge, and that the one produced was hers. The Lord Mayor— Were you aware of your loss be fore the officer spoke to you on the subject. Witness —I was not. The Lord Mayor asked whether any of the detective officers present knew the prisoners ? Michael 114 y-don—l know Nicholls, and had him in custody about six months ago for robbery. Brett, the detective officer—l have seen Nicholls and Busher together frequently. About a month ago I turned them both uut of Cremorne Gardens. Storey, the detective officar—l have seen Picket and Busher together in a steamer. Russell, the detective officer—l have seen them all summarily convicted. There were several other officers present whom it was considered unnecessary to call. The prisoners were then committed for trial. CLERKENWELL. .ASSAULTING FEMALES IN THE STREET.—Jo/n, Neaves. a master plumber, of No. 27, Cole's-terrace, Islington : was charged by Mrs. Sarah Ballard, a respectable married woman, residing at No. 2, Coleman-place, Holloway, with having indecently as saulted her. The prosecutrix having been sworn, said that on Mon day night about 12 o'clock she was walking with Mrs. Bagneil, another married woman, a friend, in Barnsbnry road, Islington, on their way home. Their husbands were a short distance behind them when the prisoner and - another powerful-looking man came up, and they seized hold of them in a most indecent manner. The risoner held tightly hold of witness, and the servant of witness and her trieild brought their IntAbamls; and broLlter-in-law to their assistance, when the whole of them were brutally maltreated by the prisoner am!. Lus en7nnanion. Mrs, Matia Dagiloll confirmed thi3 testimony. She waR aslnited by the prisoner's companion. Mr Ballard, Mr. Bagnell, and other witnesses, all of whom appeared with black eyes and other severe brutses, gave confirmatory evidence, and added that the pri soner's companion had acted more violently than him self. Mr. Corrie asked the prisoner who his friend and cotppanion was? Prisoner—His name is James Gooding, a bricklayer, who does a little in the "jobbing way." He resides in Holloway, Mr. Corrie—l shall grant a warrant against him im mediately. What do you say to the charge ? Prisoner—l am innocent of the charge. Mr. Cowie —I shall fine you 51., or in default, one month's imprisonment. He paid the money and was liberated. James Goodiny, in the course of the day, was brought u p on the been warrant by R andall the officer, and the case having clearly prov e d against him, he was fined 3/,, or three weeks' im p ri sonment. He also paid the money with levity and swaggered out'of court. SOUTHWARK.—DESER TION „ AT, with a m William _Davey, a tall, fine-looking fellow, THE ARMY.— nabe, charged tary appearance,was brought beforWltloCo of deserting with being a deserter from the 4th R . He was also charged, on his own confessio n , einient of Foot. from the 82d foot. Thomas Williams, a corporal, belonging to Regiment of Foot, said the prisoner enlisted two the 4th ago. About ten months ag o he dese rted. Yesterday afternoon, from information he received , he went on board a steamer near Lon don-brid g e, and took him into i custody, among a number of recruits of the 79th Regi ment of Foot. He said he had just enlisted iu that regiment, but was not attested. Mr. Combe asked the prisoner what he had to say? He replied that it was all correct. He deserted from the 4th, and afterwards e nl i sted in the 82d. He de serted from that regiment and enlisted in the 79th. Mr. Combe said he had acted in a very dishonest manner, and no doubt such a fellow would be punished with great severity by the military authorities. He should commit him to II orseznonger-lane Gaol, where he will remain until orders be sent from the Horse Guards for his removal. Committed accordingly. AN INHUMAN FATHER.—A man named Blanchard in possession of a certain property, appeared before th e C orrec ti ona l P o li ce of Ang last week ouleme for keep ingte le g in an outhouse, in great filth and with an insufficiency of food; and for heating him cruelly. There could not be any d ou b t of the main fact, as, on information given, some of the authorities of the place had found the min in the state mentioned. Blanchard, in his defence, de clared that as his son was an idiot, it was necessary to keep him out of harm's way, and that he had never made any secret of his having him confined in the out- house, which was open to the whole world. He denied positively that he had ever cruelly beaten his son. as alleged, and concluded by affirming that his co.mcienc3 (lid not in any respect torment hint respecting his con- d uc t to the unfortunate young man: The Court, con si del -,.. i n Blanchard's condu c t not to be such as befitted a father, condemned him to six months' imprisonment.— ealipani. NAVAL lIVTELLIGENOE. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 30. This afternoon, at 2 o'clock, her Majesty's yacht Elfin, Master-Commander Alfred Balliston, embarked their Royal Highnesses the Princess Royal and the I Princesses Helena and Louisa at Osborne, and brought them to this port en route to Buckingham Palace. On approaching Spithead, the Blenheim, Magicienne, and London fired a royal salute each, followed by the Prus sian corvette Amazone, and the platform battery and Victory and Neptune in harbour also saluted. The royal suite in attendance were Lady Lyttelton and Co lonel Biddulph. On landing at the Clarence-yard the Royal family were received by Rear- A.dmiral Fan shawe, C. 8., Captain-Superintendent Courtenay, Mas ter-Attendant Davies, and Mr. Storekeeper Pinhorn, who escorted them to the Prince of Wales's steam car riage in waiting. The train, under the superintendence of the South-Western Railway officials, left at 3.30 p.m. for London. Commodore Schroeder, of the Prussian frigate Geflon, paid a visit to Rear-Admiral Fanshawe's flag-ship Nep tune, 120, Captain Scott, this morning, and was saluted with 9 guns, with the Prussian pennant at the main, which was acknowledged with 11 guns from the corvette Amazone, this afternoon, with the white ensign at the main. _ _ The Lords of the Admiralty will arrive at this port on their annual visit of inspection on Tuesday next, and will dine that evening with the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., who has invited a party of officers to meet them. On the follow ing evening their lordships will patronise the ball in aid of the funds for supporting the Seamen and Marines' Orphan Schools at this port. The head-quarters of the board will be at the George Hotel, as usual, and the First Lord will hold a levee at the Royal Naval College. The London, 90, Captain Eden, sails on Thursday to join Rear-Admiral Corry's division of the Channel fleet. Captain Hockings has relieved Captain Lillicrop in the command of the Royal Marine detachment on board the London, the latter officer having becn neces sitated to go on sick leave to the Royal Naval Hospital, Haslar. The Blenheim, 60, screw guardship, Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, got under weigh this morning for the purpose of shifting her berth more to the westward, and gave her crew an hour or two's exercise in Stokes'-bay. We have the pleasure of recordinc , a most considerate act of generosity on the part o f the Lords of the Admi ralty towards the employes of the Royal Clarence Vic tualling Establishment, Gosport. It will be remem bered with what extraordinary alacrity these men worked in victualling the Spithead fleet when it first assembled in our roadstead. The men at the Clarence yard worked day and night— even the general holyday of the Queen's Coronation-day to boot—to accomplish their work, which they performed in something like the a!tn9st illeredUe space of 30 hours. This having been Hine° properly represented to 'the Board of Admiralty by Captain-Superintendent Courtenay, on reports made to hint Mr. Davies, the Master-Attendant, and Mr. Pinhorn, the Storekeeper, their Lordships have, by re tur.i of post, tent down an order for the distribution of a week's extra pay to each man employed in the Vic tua:ling Department ashore and afloat. This well merited gratuity will be paid them to-morrow. TM, IThadamantlms, steam transport, Master-Com mander &lain, arrived this afternoon, from Jersey we believe, with Royal Artillery on board. The fr;ends of officers and men in Commodore Mar tin's squadron may be glad to know that letters sent to the post-office, Bantry, Ireland, to the sth of Sep tember, will be duly and quickly received by those to whoai they are addressed. Wind, W. by W., fresh breezes, but fine weather. PLYMOUTH, AUG. 30. llsr Majesty's frigate Dwilalns, 20, Captain G. G. Wellesley, which arrived here yesterday from the Pa cific station, was commissioned on the 27th of July, 1S 9. and sailed from Plymouth on the 15th of Septem ber following. After touching at :Madeira she arrived IZio Janeiro on the 2nd of November. She sailed from Wallaston Island on the let of January, 1850, for V.dpsriiso Callao, Ciiincas, Piseo, San Fran cisco, Vancouver's Island, &c., and returning by San Francisco, arrived at Valparaiso on the 3d of January, 1851. She left again on the Ist of March for Callao arid Honolulu, and conveyed provisions to St. Law rence Island, in the Arctic Sea, Port Clarence, in Dhering's Straits and St. Lawrence Bay, on the coast of Asia, for the Arctic ships. Th e D w d a l us re turned by San Francisco and Honolulu to Tahiti, where she arrried on the 30th of December. She left again on the 6th of Janu ary, 1852, called at Hwaheini, Raitea, Pitcairn's Is land, Valparaiso, Caldera, Callao, Panama, San Blas, Maz atm, Cape San Lucar, and Guaymas. On the 18th of January. 1853, she sailed for Mazatlan, and, calling at San Bias, Acapulco, Panama, Valparaiso, and the Falkland Island, !pally left Rio Janeiro for England on the 13th of July, having covered, by a rough calculation, a distance of 86,000 miles. By va rious diseases, out of a complement of 240 hands she has lost 10 men, 1 marine, and 1 boy. Her purser, Mr. Feeley, was found assassinated at San Bias on the 4th of March, 1853. A seaman, William Giddy, fell overboerd, from the foretopsailyard while reefing in a gale of wind on the 4th of July, south of Montevideo, and was drowned. On the 22d of July, during a gale, Isaac White, another seaman, was also drowned. No promotions have occurred on board the Diedalus during lice absence. Lieutenant Jackson, senior of the Am phitrite, 26, Captain C. Frederick, and 29 seamen and 'inarines, invalids, have come home in her from Valpa i raiso. She has had fine weather on the passage home ' until within the last four or rive days, since which heavy south and west winds have prevailed.

Leander, 50, Captain King, was only 14 days at New York, and went from thence to Halifax, where she con tinued one day. She then proceeded to Quebec, re mained one day, and then sailed for Chaleur Bay, to protect the British fisheries. From the bay she returned to Halifax, to embark Lord Ellesmere and suite. She is ordered to have her defects made good, and to be re ported ready for sea as soon as possible. Fire Queen, tender to Victory, Master Commander T. W. Paul, returned from Southampton last evening, having conveyed . her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Catherine of Russia, with her husband, the Duke of Wurtemburgh, and attendants, to that port, ea route to Torquay, on a visit to the Princess Mary. Tito Grand Duchess Catherine was pleased to com mand. her Chambellan Maitre de la Cour to present to Mr. Paul, the commander of the Fire Queen, a very beautiful and massive pin, being a ruby of unusual size and quality, encircled iii brilliants, held by a gold eagle's claw. This is a most gratifying acknowledgment of the services of a British offictr, who in carrying out his duties was thus honoured in so marked a manner. Victory--The flag of the commander in chief, Vice Admiral Sir Thomas John Cochrane, was struck last night, the admiral being on leave of absence for a week. Blenheim, 58, screw guard-ship, Captain the Hon. Pelham, got under weigh this morning, and, after a few hours' sailing exercise, brought up at Spithead in a more central position.

Sir James Graham, First Lord of the Admiralty, Rear-Admiral Richard S. Dundas, C. 8., Captain Milne and the Hon. Francis William Cowper, Lords of the Admiralty, Captain W. A. B. Hamilton, R.N., Second Secretary of the Admiralty, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy, and Lieutenant-Colonel Greene, Director of Architectural and Engineering Works, left the London-bridge station of t the North Kent Railway by the 8 o'clock a.m. train ( op te y r ) for Strood, and arrived there at half-past 9. ftefastcatphteaiirn-sLuoprderishni Captain-Superintendent dent embarkedof Chathami barge breakfast bar Dockyard, the landingaull were rowed down the Medway to n the received by - PBce at the dockyard, where they were intendent ; Colonel Peter Richards, C.B ., Super- Garrison ; Colonel Beresfo no w. rd, Commandant of the the Chatham .division Willer, Second Commandant of ant J.

He i n aplsi n ; Mr. Peter Assistant Surgeon ; Mr. Rnbbick, g peacock, M.D., Cashier ; and Lieutenant Dowling, Y2ruter-General's Dockyard Battalion. A guard of honour ottt'ltieof the Marines, with the band and colours, under the cos_ of Captain Blyth, was drawn up on the avenue leading to the wharf wall, and on their Lordships land ingen presented arms, the band playing the National Anthem. Their Lordships then proceeded to the offi ces of the Captain-Superintendent, where they remained upwards of an hour and a-half examining the books, vouchers, and records of the various departments, and, on leaving the offices, visited the Majestic, 80 guns, now nearly ready for launching, having been converted so as to be adapted for a screw steam-ship, simply by cutting out the dead wood of her stern, which renders it probable that she will be used as a block-ship, being too broad in her bows and full astern for a fast steam ship. Theylthen wen on board the President, 50, flagship of Rear-Admiral David Price, for the Pacific station, as she is at present in dock fitting for that service. They then passed the Euryalus, 50, con ted into a screw steam-ship, to have engines of 400- horse power, by John Penn and Son, and proceeded to the pay-office at half past 1 o'clock to inspect the whole of the men in the yard, when mustered, and passed be fore them. The police were also mustered, and passed be fore their lordships. The police of Chatham Dockyard have different regulations from the metropolitan police, being under the direction of Lieut. Wise, R.N., and they are formed into three divisions, each division being under an inspector. They enter the yard for duty, and remain in it 48 hours, but they are relieved from their various stations every four hours, and reside out of the yard every third day and night, there being always two di v i s i ons on duty and one off. Their barracks are in th e cen t re of the yard, and three fire - engines are kept in a con stant state of readiness under their sleeping apartments and 12 other fire-engines in a building a few yard dis tant. From the Pay-office their Lordships proceeded to inspect the Apollo troop-ship, now in dock being re paired for further service, the Irresistible, 80, and the Severn, 50, building for screw propeller steam-ships. The Orion, 80, in an adjoining slip, will be a fine ship, as she has been lengthened 20 feet in the middle, twelve feet by the stern, and four feet at her bows, which was drawn up to admit of that addition. Their Lordships then proceeded to inspect a fine new slip, the granite work and wharf wall of which is nearly com pleted, and when finished will prove a very great im provement to that part of the yard, as the new wharf wall extends about 100 feet further into the bed of the river Medway than the old wharf wall. It is also intended to make more improvements in the same direction extending to the masthouse, where the gain from the river will be at least 100 yards. now covered with a deposit of mud. There is near this spot an old slip for merly used for building the 12 gun-brigs and other small vessels now dispensed with in the Royal Navy. The building is at present used as a mast-house ; but it so far inland, compared with the new improvements, that it is to be taken down. After a lengthened inspection, and reference to the plans of improvements on the still vacant ground at the lower part of the yard, their lord ships went outside the dockyard wall to inspect a spot suggested as eligible for the erection of a convict prison, it being intended, now that transportation of that class has ceased, to again employ them on the public works in various localities. On their return they inspected the saw-mills, where several ingenious descriptions of machinery, recently added, were shown at work ; the first that attracted their lordships' at tention was a pair of circular saws, rising through a trap-door in the floor of the saw-mill, and revolving in opposite directions, which sawed off the end of a log of timber about two feet square, the timber being quite sta tionary, and the saws moving and meeting each other in the required direction. Another circular saw was ex hibited, on the telescope principle, descending from a square case which is suspended about 12 feet high, and it can be moved from end to end of the mill on a rail way at that elevation ; and the precision and ra pidity with which the various ends of timber of different thicknesses were sawn off elicited the entire approba tion of their Lordships. After a partial visit to the metal-mill department, they left the yard at 20 minutes before 6 in the Superintendent's barge for Rochester, where they R ill remain during the night, and to-mor row inspect the metal-mills and rigging -house, and other stores. In the course of the day , they will inspect the Chatham division of the Royal Marines, and then pro ceed to inspect Sheerness dockyard on Thursday. DOVER, AUG. 27. The First Lord of the Admiralty, with Admiral Dun das and Captain Milne, R.N., also Lord Raglan, Master- General of the Ordnance, Sir John Burgoyne, Colonel Cater, and Captai❑ O'Brian, Secretary to the First Lord, arrived at Dover at 10.40 a.m., to inspect the new har bour ur pier works and the new batteries. Mr. Mac gregor, chairman of the railway company, was in attend ance. Colonel Streatfield, R.E., Captain Herrick, R.N., Mr. Walker and Mr. Cooper, the engineers, and Mr. Lee, the contractor fur the pier, met and conducted them to the works. There was a very heavy westerly gale and high sea at the time, too great to enable any communication by boat or otherwise to be made with the shore, for the landing or shipping of mails or passengers, but under the lee of the pier, even in its present state, their loriships saw a steam-packet come alongside and take her passengers for Calais on board with perfect ease and safety ; the mail-packet, Captain Smithett, also came alongside. The present erection, now a pier, is the first length of the harbour of refuge recommended by two commissions ; when completed it will inclose an area of 400 acres, of which nearly the whole will have from 6 to 7 fathoms at low water. Their lordships before leaving expressed their entire approbation of the work. The party then proceeded to the new Guildford batteries and the batte ries upon the Castle-hill, which they examined ; after which the First Lord and the Master-General returned to Dover, and the other lords proceeded to Deal.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1853. THE 90. GUN SHIP WESAR AT PEMBROKE. • The Admiralty have ordered the defects of the Caesar, caused in launching, to be made good, as suggested by the committee of shipwright officers, and the ship, when completed, is to be removed to Portsmouth to receive her screw machinery. The real cause of the mishap for a long time remained wrapped in mystery, but there is not now any doubt concerning the origin of the unto ward event. The disaster appears to have been caused by a sufficient depth of water not being obtained when the launch took place, in consequence of which the bilge ways stuck in the mud, and all the efforts made, and the immense force brought to bear to force her into the water, only served to fix her more firmly in the bed. The water around was not of suf f icient depth to take the weight of the after body of the vessel from off the bilge ways, and thus allow her after-part to float. The use in the formation of the lower part of the ways of fir-wood in lieu, as customary, of sound Dantzic oak, it is con sidered, also contributed to the accident; the consequence being that, more adhesive in their nature, the ship did not so easily glide over the planks, and before the stern could be lifted by the buoy anc y f the water, the un usual friction and traction had aided in the stoppage of the vessel. It has been remarked that she started and passed down the slip at first with great velocity, and with a speed apparently capable of overcoming every obstacle. In consequence of a much greater declivity being given at some of the other dockyards, fir planks are occasionally used for carrying out the ways, but at Pembroke this was never before attempted. One great lesson has been gained—never to use fir in lieu of oak, and also for the future to cause the launching ways to be thoroughly greased, and carried out further into the water than hitherto has been the case. It is satisfactory to know that the groundways are perfectly solid and firm, and that not the slightest sign of sinking or giving way has been discerned, although a strict examination of every part has been made by order of the surveyor, the engineers having tested the same by means of the theodolite. The launching apparatus was also sound and well constructed. The condition of the ship is con sidered- to be much better than was anticipated, when the very dangerous position in which she lay is taken into consideration. One-third of her length lay off the ways, when she appeared hogged and bent, but on float ing the strain was taken off, and she returned to her normal lines. The leakage was also very trifling, thus af fording a, positive proofof the immensely strong a,n d perfect manner in which our ships of war are put together. To be " hogged " three feet out of build, and then to recover the original sheer, is most convincing testimony of strengh of build. As a proof of the immense strain we may mention that the copper bolts by which the iron knees were fastened were cut clean off by the iron work. Some of the fastenings and a portion of the diagonal I framing has been much strained, and will require addi tions and re-fastenings, and she will likewise have to un dergo a thorough re-caulking. The Captain Superin tendent, Sir Thos. Pa,sley, has expressed in terms of high satisfaction his approval of the conduct of both officers and men, and this he has reported to the Lords of the Admiralty. Indeed, of the untiring and inde fatigable exertions of the workmen too much cannot be said. Sunday formed no day of rest. The mechanical officers evinced great skill in the method employed for floating the ship. PRIZE-MONEY FOR THE HECLA, STEAM -SLOOP. Notice has been given by Messrs.

A LUCKY VICTUALLING-YARD AND AN UNLUCKY DOCK-YARD.—The contrast presented by the two yards at Deptford is both striking and grieveus. While it is very gratifying to the one it is more than equally disheartening to the other, though the latter is the prin cipal establishing of the two. During the last two years no less than seven promotions (two to the first class, and five to the second) and eight appointments of clerks have taken place in the victualling-yard ; while in the dock-yard, which is larger than the former, and as efficient, and the duties as onerous and responsible as those in any of the other yards belonging to her Majesty, there is no first-class clerk, and only one second, since whose promotion, sixteen years since, not one promotion has occurred—a case unprecedented and most dis piriting. Mr. Armstrong, third-class clerk at the victualling yard, Deptford, has been appointed as third-class in Pembroke Dock-yard, and Mr. Burr, son of the chief clerk to the storekeeper at Woolwich yard, has been appointed to the established vacancy at Deptford, vice Armstrong.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 30. STOCK liixonANGE.—The market keeps extremely flat, although this is the first for the new accounts. There is very little disposition to buy, but btock is very scarce for the settlement, and a backwardation is paid on several of the leading stocks. Caledonian, 33a c., $, c. ; Lancl, shire and Yorkshire, 75i ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin coln, 27; Midland, 69 g , ; Borough Bank, 124. MANCHESTER, AUG. 30.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—The market remains in the same state. Bristol and Exeters ruled 102/. A NEWLY -INVENTED BOAT.—The schooner La Sole arrived, the evening before last at Paris direct from Bordeaux. She is anchored off the Tuileries, and ex cites considerable curiosity. M. Guybert, the builder, has thus solved the problem of constructing a vessel with such a light draught of water as to be able to come up the-Seine to Paris and yet be able to stand the open WRECKS ON THE ENGLISH COAST. —A very inter esting return to an order of the House of Commons has just been made by the Harbour Department of the Ad miralty. It contains an abstract of all collisions, acci dents, and wrecks of vessels, and the number of lives lost, on the shores' of the United Kingdom during the year 1850 ; all of which are most strikingly illustrated on a wreck chart. The map in question is of the same appearance as an ordinary map of the British isles, ex cept that the whole line of sea-coast, from the Orkneys to the Lizard, is dotted with a series of black marks. These marks are not uniform in number, but vary from 1 to 20 a t diff erent places. Each mark indicates a shipwreck, and its too frequent corollary, the loss of 'life. A most melancholy effect has the chart when thi s jkey to it s c h aracter i s g i ven, and startling revelations does it present of the loss of life and property which takes place off our coast. The whole coast of the United Kingdom bristles with these lugubrious dottings. It appears tha t in the year 1850 no less than 681 vessels were wrecked on the coast. Of these, 270 were total wrecks, 84 were sunk by leaks or collisions, 16 were abandoned, and 304 were stranded and damaged so as to require them to discharge cargo. As nearly as can be ascertained, 780 lives were lost from these casualties.

They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket, and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful power; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles distant. Messrs. S. and B.
