I Evening .. minutes after 2. nifiritin SAT it LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1847. The House of Commons on Wednesday rejected the motion of Mr. WATSON for going into Committee upon his Roman Catholic Relief Bill. Sir R. INGLIS'S amendment for throwing out the Bill altogether was carried by a majority of 39 in a division comprising 277 Members. We very much reek this deci,ion. The arguments that were adduced in its favour are emery far from reconciling us to its propriety. They were at once weak and bigoted. If they could be considered tenabl e , then not only was the Bill de servedly lost, but tit- furnish abundant reason for repealing all that has - b Y een c en t a h cted by the Legislature in favour of the Ro man since 1829. But does any one dream that w:tosilhilbecallrtretrace the steps we have taken on behalf thatof conscience ? Can it be now-a-days questio n edf reed om from persecution on account of religious trlief 13 the rul e which governs modern legislation in all where it is alleged t h a t men ar e abridged in their civil rights by reason of their having embraced a particular creed ? Over and over again, of to years, has Parliament repudiated the "principle that a man's religious tenet,: should subject him to civil disabilities. The Govern ment last night faithfully adhered to the cause of religious liberty. Their opponents admitted that, in accordance with the spirit of the conce-sions male within the last eighteen years, the Roman Catholics laboured under certain statutable grievances, but urged there was no necessity for removing them, in asmuch as they were practically inoperative. This, however, appears to us to be a good ground for their abolition. In the first place, our cumbrous statute-book should be purged of laws that have fallen into desuetude ; and, in the next, it is ungra cious, so far as the letter of the law is con cerned; to subject a numerous class of religionists to humiliating penalties. The desire to retain the emactimuit4 compliimil of, after ales have become obsolete, can only be explained by a suspicion being entertained that the emancipated will exert their privileges to the subversion of the Established reli gion. Now, those who harbour this opinion, which, however, Parliament in the aggregate, after solemn argument, has more than once, in our times, and on very momentous occasions, refused to sanction, take up a position from which it might be inferred they distrusted the excellence 'of their own faith. But, assuming, as no doubt we may, that the high Churchmen have an unbounded belief in the truth of the Protestant religion, and admitting, for the sake of argument, the suspicion above adverted to to be well-founded, why should they dread that theological discussion would increase the number of followers of a different creed to their own ? and if they do not lean to this fear, why debar others from the full en joyment of the civil privileges with which they are themselves invested ? The political incidents which marked the reign of CHARLES 11. bear no analogy to those which distinguish that of our present SOVE REIGN. The age of the former does not admit of a comparison with that of the latter in regard to re ligious toleration. We are far too enlightened to re quire the severe defences which our ancestors set up nearly two centuries since for the maintenance of the Protestant religion. We can safely dispense with the rusty and useless armoury which Mr. WATSON has discovered to be still hanging upon the walls of the constitution. It consists only of weapons which serve neither for use nor ornament ; on the contrary, their retention is justly regarded as a gratuitous in sult to the religious communities whom we have ele vated to a participation in the highest honours and dignities of the State. Whilst we lament the division in the House of Commons, we feel certain that, in the next Parliament, the Roman Catholics will have justice done to their reasonable requirements. On the eve of a dissolution it is not improbable that many Members gave their votes more with the view of gaining favour in the eyes of their constituencies, than of acting up to their own enlightened impressions. Others there were who are always kept -in ~strait-waistcoats by their electors upon religious questions. It is, there fore, easy enough to construe such speeches as were on - Wednesday delivered by the representatives of the Universities. Colonel WYLDE has been eclipsed by his Spanish rival, Colonel BUENAGO. The former is no longer— to employ the pet soubriquet of Tom STEELE—the " Head Pacificator " in Portugal. We know no language sufficiently contemptuous in which to cha racterise the civil war in Lusitania. Without system even of the most shadowy description, without zeal even of the most superficial kind, without consistency, without courage, without aim, the Royalist leaders have been dallying northwards of the capital, satisfy ing their professional habits with reconnoitering, their vain-glory with bravado, and their stomachs with ra tions. The important and astounding intelligence has just arrived by the latest Peninsular dispatches, that Field-Marshal SALDANHA has plucked up suffi cient courage to edge a few inches nearer Oporto. Enough good humour still survives this bellicose movement, however, to enable the belligerent forces to celebrate the anniversary of Queen MARIA'S birthday by drinking health and prosperity to her MAJESTY on the banks of the Douro and at Oliveira de Azemais. Health and prosperity from insurgents leagued against her authority ! Health and pros perity from men who are ruining her cause by their dilatoriness or their absolute poitrounery. The national farce is almost elevated by this sarcastic conviviality into a satirical comedy. The lips of the revellers, both in the camp of the Loyalist com mander and in the chambers of the Junta, must have curled with derision while quaffing this most ironical toast ! Around the unfortunate SOVEREIGN of this very restless and dissatisfied race, more troubles are collecting than could have been for merly anticipated even by her most lugu • brious and least sanguine supporters. Instead of quelling her antagonists by a valorous and timely employment of her military powers, instead of con ciliating them by magnanimous and really advisable concessions, Queen MARIA DA GLORIA has, by her ' reliance, upon SILDANHA and his associates, still fur ther estranged from her the affections of the Yortu zut:se. Both those courses were open for her MA JESIY'S adoption, and she avoided them as though they were not n-voiinended by prudence. A graceful concession might have been made, and yet her MA JESTY preferred to enhance the odium attached to the present Administration by a pertinacious refusal. A bold stroke fur the annihilation of the revolting narty might have teen made upon the first outbreak, yet her MAJESTY'S Generalissimo has allowed that invaluable moment to slip from him without any preliminary struggle or any subsequent compunction. The achi , weinents of San- DAN 11 A are little less paltry than those of Major STURGEON, and unquestionably in regard to Torres Vedras and Val do Passos, they are much less cre ditable. For bare honour, as a subject not totally devoid of loyalty, and as a soldier not altogether divested of bravery, we might have conjectured that this redoubtable champion of the Portuguese Monarch would have finished the present miserios of his native land, either by some sagacious strategies or by a valiant sword-blow. If he could not unravel the knot, he had it at least in his power to imitate the conduct of ALEXANDER, in cutting ,the entangled harness on the Piirygim chariot, by severing its involutions. But SALDANHA had a greater relish for a picturesque bivouac on the frontiers of Minh° than for a charge upon the bayonets of Das A NTAS. His digestion was more fitted to the confections of the mess-table than to the banquet of carrion promised by the armed battlements of Oporto. lie had no partiality for that field of apothecary-work where "Forty cannon throw up their emetic, And thirty thousand muskets fling their pills!" Meanwhile the beleaguered Junta has mustered its strength behind the ramparts of the city, and under the shelter of SALDANUA'S tar diness. It has proceeded further. It has not merely accumulated considerable numbers of well-appointed and well-disciplined men in that famous burgh for wine-exporting and for wine bibbing—it has dispatched a compact body of 900 soldiers to the southern shores of Algarve, with a competent leader in the person of SA DA BANDEIRA. By this extraordinary deportation to the other extre mity of the kingdom, the popular cause must neces sarily acquire wonderful stability, while an insurrec tionary movement may he readily organised in the Alemtejo by the combined forces of SA DA BANDEIRA and the Conde DE MELLO. It is probable that before many days have elapsed we shall re ceive intelligence of the junction of their troops at Evora. Then, unquestionably, the embarasaments of SALDANHA Will be considerably more than doubled. The throne is tottering as much from its tremulous supporters as from its active and enterprising antago nists. The Loyalists are verbally striving to prevent the royal garland from being torn from the head of Do - s;iMARIA but the pressure of their hands is driving the thorns into her temples. Let her Lusitanian MAJESTY beware, for the Junta have a terrible alternative. They remember the lessons afforded by the Gallic and British histories—they may take example by the expulsion of JiMES 11. and CHARLES X. Supposing the insurgents to be driven to the uttermost, may not Dom MIGUEL be the WILLIAM of Orange or the LOUIS PHILIPPE of Portugal ? The Madrid journals of the Bth have arrived. The Gaceta contains the official account of the ap pointment of General Nr....AuvAr.z to be Amhassador to Paris, and that of Senor LOPEZ DE LA TORRE A YLLON, to the embassy at Lisbon.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY of 215 to 27, the project of law, authoring the return, under certain circumstances, the caution money de-' posited by the railroad companies. By this Bill, so soon as a sum equal to double the amount of the se curity money lodged with Government shall have been expended upon the railway, in the manner re quired by law, then the Minister of Public Works is empowered to return to the companies the caution money deposited. The Journal des Minds considers this a very insignificant attempt at remedying a great evil. It says— " The Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of yesterday, 1' discussed and adopted the Bill relative to the restitution of the caution money of railway companies. A year ago, when such questions were brought before the Cham ber, they caused perfect storms. Yesterday the assem bly gave only a distracted attention to the Bill under discussion. It was because this Bill is only an insigni ficant palliative to a very grave situation, which every one in the Chamber knows, and which no one would resolutely touch upon. Yes, the situation of meat of our great railway enterprises is grave. That is unhap pily notorious to everybody ; there is no danger in saying it; on the contrary, there would be in not eve wing it loudly. If a prompt remedy be not brought, the work pursued by the country during numerous years, and which has already cost it so many efforts, this ilicessant object ot so many wishes fr to one me of the kiegd, m to the other, will fied 'teen', if not cumprernised, at last tr.- definitely delayed in its most esseutiel parts. Theie are companies which have undertaken notriug, which hake not struck a single blow with the pickaxe, ant , . teleett will certainly dissolve themselves, if an aleration be not made in the condition, imooeed upon them ; they will prefer, with reason, a liquidation which will be less onerous, even with the loss ot their caution vackeey, than the enterprise itself. There are others who have, on the contrary, pushed forward the first works with great activity, and whose shares have undergone a notable depreciation ; if those companies do not stop their works, they will be under the necessity of conduct ing them with prudent slowness, because their share holders will be unable to pay up calls too close upon each other. All, in short, or almost alt, are soliciting the revision of their contracts from the Government. What will the Government do ? Such was the quea tion which preoccupied the minds of the Deputies of the Chamber during the discussion, and which now oc cupies the attention of a great many persons out of the Chamber. To do nothing, absolutely nothing, with out distinguishing between the most important and those which are less important, would be a deplorable resolution. We hope that such is not the intention of the Minister of Public Works. A belief that it is not, is also, without doubt, enter. tained in the Chamber, for two or three orators went there to oppose the favourable dispositions which they suppose the Government entertains with respect to the companies. It is true that those orators are the eternal enemies of railways ; they are those who maintained that the Northern Railway ought not to be conceded for more than eighteen years, that the Lyons Railway would find a company to take it for twenty years, and that the companies with such conditions would make immense profits ; they are those profound statisticians who found the estimates of the Government exaggerated in the chapter of expenses, and understated in the chapter of receipts. They may attribute to themselves the best part of the errors of the country, with respect to the railways, and by consequence the sad reaction cf which we are witnesses. That ought to render them somewhat circumspect. But circumspection has never been a virtue of the Opposition, and it appears that it is now a virtue exclusively reserved to the Govern ment. We will say very explicitly our opinion on this important question: it seems to us impossible to do nothing to ameliorate the situation of railway enterprises. Solemn contracts would have to be changed, and we know that that is a serious matter; but is it not also a grave thing to see the most important line of our rail ways menaced with an indefinite adjournment.? No one would seriously give such advice, and still less would any one concert to accept it. This is not assuredly to say, that all demands must be admitted. Those recom mended by a great public interest must be received, and nothing else thought of. Many other considerations, at the time the laws on railways were under discusssion, influ ence the decisions of the Government and the Chambers; they ought to disappear. The circumstances are grave enough to cause a renunciation to to be made of the weaknesses and complaisance of preceding days. It is besides easy to say after what principles the demands of the companies ought to be appreciated; it scents to us that it should be first of all ascertained if the line for which assistance is claimed be one of those which should be made quickly, and afterwards if the changes demanded are necessary to the prompt termination of the line. Now, no one will deny that the execution of the great line which goes from Paris to Marseilles, which is to join the Mediterranean to the Channel, is not of superior and urgent interest, is not an affair of State of the first importance. his line must be made, meat be made promptly, must he made at every price. A day lest is an irreparable fault. It is certain that it the Government and the Chambers do nothing for this great line, a notable fraction, that from Lyons to Avig non, will be made in the tereek Calends, and that the first which gees from Paris to Lyons will be long delayed. This result is not possible. It would be a oiegrace t. our time, and a grave responsibility for the Chambers. It is possible, besides, to conciliate the interests of the Treasury and that of the companies. But where would be the harm if onerous embranchments were adjourned? Would it not be better to postpone the execution of an embranehment than to postpone all?" General MANnia. DR LA CONCHA arrived in Paris on Monday, and immediately announced his arrival to Queen CHRISTINA, through the Spanish Charge d'Affaires. He signified to her that he came in a private, not in a public character, and was received by CHRISTINA at ten o'clock on Monday evening. The letters patent naturalizing MuNoz, Duke of Rianzares, as a Frenchman, and conferring upon him the title of Duc de Montmoro, were enrolled in the Cour Royale on Monday. We congratulate the nobility of France upon this honourable accession to their ranks. The Countess of BRESSON and her son arrived in Paris on Monday. It would appear from the following article, which appears in the Presse, that CHRISTINA, finding threats of no avail with the new Spanish Ministry, is about, as a last resource, to try coaxing and flattery. It says— " We cannot know exactly what may he true or et agerated in all the symptoms which produce so great an agitation. What is evidenns, 'that the friends of order are in consternation, the Progressists joyful, that the journals of the Ministry appear greatly discouraged, and that the Herald°, naturally not very timid, and which does not cry for help without grave motives, foresees deplorable events. All the parties, each one taking its own point of view, fear, desire, doubt, and hope. What is most remarkable is, that, in the midst of this agitation, all eyes are turned towards the Ministry, and that, every one hoping to make it serve the accomplishment of its projects, no one thinks of openly opposing it. This state is intolerable, and at the point at which things are, everything may be conceived. The Ministry should take some step, fur, since the dismissal of the persons who surrounded the Queen, the Progressists affect to take the defence of the Government, and to applaud its tendencies. These are mere tactics, but we must not allow it to be believed that these congratulations are accepted in the sense which is given to them. It is the more important and urgent for the Ministry to explain itself on account of some of its acts and certain rumours which would ren der a longer silence very significative." The same journal again announces that it is ex tremely probable that the Emperor of Russia will visit Paris in th-t course of the summer. The report of the resignation of the Greek Minister is, it seems, at least premature. In the Uhamber of Deputies he had a majority of 20 on a question in volving the character of the Minister of Finance. It was reported in Paris that France would furnish Greece with the money to pay the debt due to England. The Courrier Francais publishes the following letter on the subject of the differences between Greece and Turkey " The following details respecting the facts which may have occasioned the report of the downfal of the Colletti Ministry I guarantee to you to be authentic. It appears that after the receipt of the di , pitches fry m Constat.tinople, containing the ultimatum of the Otto. man Government, a Cabinet Council was called, and M. Colletti declared that •he -could, not accept such conditions without dishonouring himself, and that if any other person could devise means to arrange the difference suitably, he was ready to withdraw. In this state of things Sir E. Lyons visited the King., and after having depicted the situation as exceectngly grave, recommended him to apply to M. Mavracordato. The King sent for that gentleman, and inquired what system he should propose to follow in case he was placed at the head of affairs. M. Mavroctirdato replied that he was of opinion that it would be well to yield, and that he saw no inconvenience in the return of M. Mussurus to Athens. The King observed that that diplomatist was in continual hostility with his Majesty's Government, against ;which he was constantly starting difficulties; that in a short time another difficulty would arise; that such a state of things was not endurable, and that he preferred vital]; an end to it at once, M. Mavrocordato then withdrew, and there the matter rested. It was thought at Athens that the King, notwithstanding his feeling towards M. Coletti and his administration, would, in consequence of the demands of England relative to the debt, be obliged to sacrifice him. At the date of the last news there was only one French vessel of war at the Piraeus, and M. Piscatory had sent an express to the commander of our station to request him to concentrate his forces there." The Siicle has the follovcing on the differences be• tween the Ministry and the Committee of the Cham ber appointed to examine the estimates for Algeria : "We have noticed the differences which have arisen bAween the Ministry and the committee on the extraordinary credits demanded for Africa. The Mi nister of Wor, having called upon the committee to take into consideration the communication which he had re ceived on the proposed expedition into Kabylia, has sent bKtuhaeniecnkognnatoaltethnuoeett committee the decision which M. Dufaure, the President, had transmitted to him.

The Ministers it is said have received some very serious in formation on the subject. Both the &lick and the Commerce express their approval of the Bill for re forming the Tariff, as a step in the right direction. The Education Bill, which has just been printed, gives great offence to all parties in France. The effect of this measure, if carried, will be to transfer all power of controlling education to the Jesuits, and to submit the university professors and the heads of schools to the priests, by a system of grinding tyranny and debasing espionage, to which no honourable, liberal-minded, or well-educated man will submit. It is just such a measure as might have been expected from the Villele or the Polignac Ministry of the restoration, but certainly no one expected to see the revolution of July producing such fruits. The opposition to the Bill will be most formidable, and there is every probability that the Ministry will be defeated. Accounts were said to have reached Paris on Tuesday, that the tempestuous and otherwi,e incle ment weather, encountered by Mr O ' CONNELL on his route southwards, was continuing to produce upon him unfavourable effects. For example, when in Paris his appetite was excellent ; those letters were saint to state, among. other unpleasant symptoms, that it had been much impaired. The French Funds improved on Tuesday. Early in the day a favourable tendency was perceptible in the transactions oe " the coulisse." When business commenced regularly this inclination became rivire decided, and the Three per Cents. rose to 78f. It was then reported that a new fall of I per cent. took place in London on Monday, which caused prices to recede—that of the Three per Cents. to 77f. 70c. Another rumour stated, however, that Con sole had, on the contrary, risen s per cent. in London. A new reaction took place in consequence, and that stock left off at 77f. 95J.

(From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, 1,000 bales being American, taken on speculation. The market was dull, though at about previous rates. American realised 6id. to 71d. per lb. In Railway Shares the business done was limited, and prices did not exhibit any improvement. We have no account yet of the steamer from Halifax. Money in the discount market is worth about 51 to 5- per cent. on good bills, short dates having still a very decided preference. It is not expected that the directors or the Bank of England will yet further advance their terms for accommodation, as they limit it even at the comparatively high rate recently established. An im portant work at the present juncture, " Doubleday's Financial History of England," shows that in the earliest career of the establiehment the re was consider able variation in its terms of discount. The author remarks: " On its commencing business, the Bank seems to have charged the highest legal rate of interest, 6 per cent. upon all bills discounted, whether foreign, or inland, or home bills. In a tew days, hos ever, it ap pears to have been found politic to reduce the rate ot discount upon foreign bills to 4i per cent. In 1695, in January, in order to increase the business of the con cern, another course was adopted. Foreign bills, except ing at short dates, were again discounted at the rate of 6 per cent., and inland or home bills at 4i per cent. ; but to persons who would keep an account with the Bat k. an inducement was hal : out for d:,ing so, in the shape of a reduction to such persons of half the discoun: on toreign bills, the rate of winch was thus, in these cases, reduced as low as 3 per c: ni.—a novel rate in these da) s ! In the following Mm, despite of these relaxis q(4:l, the • Governor and .Company' seem to have been driven to further expedients ; and, for a time, all short-dated running bids or notes were taken tor discount at the novel rate of 3 per cent.; and not con tent with this, the Court of Directors gave notice of their readiness 'to lend money ;' that is to say, their notes, upon plate, lead, tin, copper, steel, and iron,' at 4 per cent. per. annum." These changes were even more frequent than at pre sent. but the power of the Threadneedle-street magnatee was then limited indeed, either fur good or evil, curia • pared to %%iliac it is now. The Funds are not so well supported as they were yesterday, but business is slack. Consols are 863 a for present transfer, and 864 to 871 for the May Account. Exchequer-bills have been par to 3s. discount. Bank Stock has beer, quoted 195 to 1931 The New Three and-a-Quarter prr, Cents. t.ave seunsed 871 to 1. Vary little ainaratiou has oceurr‘d in Foreign Stocks. but prices are as well supported as could be expected. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 25i 2, and the Three per Cents. 36 to 361. Portuguese Four p. r Cents. have been quoted 354 to 35A ; Mexican Bonus have been dune at 201 to 21 ; Dutch Two-and•a- Half per Cents. have been at 581, and the Four per Cents. at 110 to 891. Railway Shares are quiet at present. The settlement of the Consul Account, and the Foreign and Share Account, coming su near together, engage chruf attention. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK.

The unfortunate creature was picked up in an insensible state and conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, where it was found 'that injuries of the most alarming description had been sustained. The driver of the cart was stopped and his number taken by the police on duty. The mortal remains of Lord Saye and Sele were interred on asturday aftemon, at Pout laton BANK OF ENGLAND NOTICE.

EDWARD WILLMbR. THE ROYAL BUCK Hours vs.—The Royal pack. and several relays of her Majesty's hunters, will leave the Kennel at Ascot on Monday next, for the Farnborough station, and proceed thence by the Southampton Railway to Lyndhurst, in Hampshire, for the purpose of hunting three days during the ensuing week in the New Forest ; the first meet taking place:on Tuesday next. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT WINKFIELD, NEAR WIND-. soo.—On Monday evening an alarming fire, which, it is feared was caused by an incendiary, was discovered upon the premises of Mr. Mark Westaway, at Foljohn Park Farm, Ainktield, Berks. The fire, which first broke out in the outbuildings, destroyed, amongst other valuable property, a hay rick, two wheat ricks, a chaise, besides a waggon, and the farm buildings. A portion of the property was fortu nately insured. HEALTH AND MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.— The deaths returned by the metropolitan registrars for the week ending Saturday last were 1,051, being an increase of 47 on the mortality of the previous week, and 137 in excess of the weekly average of five springs. This result is, to a certain extent, attributable to the unusal coldness of the weather at the commencement of the present month, and tends to illustrate the ascertained influence of atmospheric circumstances on certain forms of disease. Bronchitis and other diseases of the organs of respiration, instead of yielding under the influence of spring, continued to swell the morta lity indicated by the returns, in which nearly one-third of the whole number of deaths are referred to this class of com plaints. Diseases of an epidemic character appear to have increased, particularly hooping-cough and other complaints incident to children ; the deaths from typhus are also more numerous than in the preceding week. As regards locality, the excess of mortality over the spring average was greatest in the south and west districts, but was shared by all the groups of districts into which the metropolis is divided by the Registrar-Ger,eral. The mean temperature of the week was 47.9, no less than 11 degrees above that of the previous week. SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY EXTENSION.—We nesday the whole of the houses in the Westminster -bridge road, and the Lower and Upper Marsh, Lambeth, were en tirely demolished, so that the whole line of extension to Waterloo-bridge, with the exception of a few houses in York-street, is now entirely cleared, and the viaduct on j which the trains will run, complete as far as High - street, Latiabab. AMERICA. GREAT BATTLE IN MEXICO. KARIVAL OF THE ILBERNIA. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIV4RPOOL, I ' H(JRSD %Y. After a fair average passage of ahout thirteen dAys and a-half the steam-ship Iliherna, Captain Harrison, arrived here this morning fnim Boston and Hadrax. She had 107 passengers, told the monthly mail:, from Canada and the United States. By this arrival we have received papers from all parts of the union, and the new* which they contain are of a very important and interes7ing character. The journals before us are full of the deeds of san guinary warfare in the invaded territory of the loxigans. Santa Anna who has come to close quarters with his rival, "old rough and ready," :IA although the latter claims a victory, he has really very little cause to boast. Two-tifths of his forces are said to have been slaughtered, 30,000 of their rations cap t.ured, and no less than seven or eight pieces of artil lery spiked, lest the Mexican army should obtain them. This is not very pleasant news for the occu pants of the " White house" at Washington. Both parti,s claim the vie ory, but we cannot say that either have conquered. The Mexicans appear to have failed in carrying- the American position, but made sad havoc of tni-ir ranks, The Mexicans estimate the American loss at 2,000 killed and wounded, three cannon, and two colours; whilst the .Americans estimate that of the Mexicans at 4,000. Both generals had summoned each other to surrender—after the battle! DESTRUCTION of the DROGH -DA S GRANA [JILE. LOo OF FORTY LIV S. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.

PoRTsMoUTH, EDNESDAY.—The trident steam sloop, Lieutenant-Commander Rigge, arrived at Cow.: last night late, and came up to Spithead this morning from the Mediterranean. She brought the latest news from Lisbon and Oporto. [his vessel left Chatham only last August, to be employed by Lieutenant Wag horn in the trial of the Trieste against the Marseilles route for carrying the Indian mails. She made but one attempt to reach Trieste, and failed, having knoiked up at Corfu. She has never answered, alth• u ; .,11 she looks perfect, and presents a graceful and pretty model upon the water; she is of 850 tons, and 350-horse power, propelled by paddles.

The folowieg is a copy of a " Grneral Order" re garding " relative reek" in the medical department, re cently issued to the American navy by the late chief of its exe-cative, Mr. Baecroft,... " Surgeons of the fleet and surgeons of more than 12 years will rank vtith conmand.rs. " Surgeons of less than 12 years with lieutenants. " Passed assistant-surgeons next after lieutenants. " Assistant-surgeons net passed next atter masters. " Commanding and executive officers, of whatever grade, when on duty, will take precedence of all medical officers. 1 his order confers no authority to exercise miiitary command, and no additional right to quarters." The above important order, so gratifying to the me dical body in the United States navy, has tieen obtained through the instrumentality of Dr. William Maxwell Wood, now surgeon of the fleet in the Pacific, who has also been the means of obtaining many other gratifying orders tending to improve the condition anti standing of the medical gentlemen employed in the American service. The Britannia, 120, ordered some weeks since to be brought forward for commission, was taken into the basin this morning, and will be d. cketl as soon us the Thetis comes out, to have her " ordinary" fittings re moved and sea-g..ing ones substituted. The Talbot, 26, recently paid off, from the Pacific, was brought alongside the doekarti jetty to day to b tthoe- to-day, water,ay to w S h , : c u h t h henatnp ttm dismantled ; she will, therefore, not be employed in th e mea l service.

The Rifletnan, vvoodi-;n vessel, went down the ri , er yesterday afternoon, to try her screw propeller ; arid the Sharpshooter, iron vessel, went down to day for a similar purpose. A large anchor, of Porter's construction. weighing 55 cwt. 2 qrs. ant) 11 lb.. was tested at the mactime in this dockyard yesterday, with a strain of 451- tons, and will be sent round to Portsm..tuth for service iu the Retribution steam-frigate. A series oft xperiments are in progress at the testing room here to ascertain the comparative streng.h of a new description of blocks for .hips and st,am-vessels made of galvanised irm, and patented by Lennox and Ci. One of these blocks, six and a halt inches in diameter, on being tested bore a strain ot 61 tons, ate! with that power did not appear to be in the least injured, the hook attached to ft being the part which broke during the operation. The usual strain appl ed to blocks of metal or brass of the same diameter is 31 tons, which is sufficient to pass them for service. A stronger de scription of hook has been attached to the galvanised metal biocks still to be experitnen i t st e eh rl dis mi ai . l i ni t y l is i e , lnaotinoh i nawvae i r l e l wit nessed e tr ci l u ed al u p t o tt w il e t r h . e T bl h t e ick res a u n l d t h h a o s ok ,,u s r o p t r . the testings.
