" Within the last -100 years, and previous to 1844, the Crown, by virtue .of the Royal prerogative, and in exercise of that right, has granted several charters with limittd liability to banks for carrying on businegs in Great Britain and Ireland, such as the Bank of ,Frig land, Bank of Ireland, Bank of Scotland, Rupl Rank oaf Scotland, the British Linen. Company and Commer cial Bank of Scotland, in all of which the liability is limited to the amount of the shares held. " In 1844 Peel's well-known Banking Act Was passed; by whine the Crown gave up and abandoned the Royal right or prerogative to grant charters for home banking, awl that Act provided that henceforth it should only be lawful to commence business under letters pat -.tit,' and that the Ciown might, with consent of the Lord of Privy Council for Trade, issue such letters patent' in terms ~f the various regulAtions, rus7rictions, &c., men tinned in al,: Act itself. One very important omission in tbat Act i!s the abnencskebitirely of any,„clauJoJeittritit , - .iiig or empowering the crown to restrict the liability of starebolders, and the consequence is that no banking company incorporated for home banking since 1844 could obtain limited liability, " By a confusion of ideas and an improper application of terms, the banks for home banking so incorporated have invariably advertised themselves as acting under a Royal charter,' that, term is used over and over again by the directors of the Royal British Bank, whereas the Qaeen bad no power to grant, and no Royal cheer ever was granted to that bank, the docament bring the more modified and less comprehensive thing called letters patent;' and it is by this rii application of .the right name to a wrong sub. ject that much of the existing ignorance on the Habig ty of shareholders has been fostered, and perhaps even en. c.turaged, Peel's Act left the Royal prerogative perfectly no torched and unfettered in so far as the colonies and foreign States were concerned. Toe consegnence has been that the Quten by right of that power inherent in the Crown has granted real 'charters' with limited !la id ity to-varions col•inial companies since 1844 for bank- lo g in India, China, Aug!ralia, and Canada, and also to various English companies for banking in and with lireign countries, but having their head-quarters in Lon don, for the promotion of the trade and commerce of Great Bri'ain. "In these , latter comp•tnies so incorporated by Royal charter,' the liability of shareholders at the time of the di-solution of the company is limited to double the amount of the shares held at the time of winding up, should there be any deficiency to meet the obligations of the company ; and the benefit of a ' charter' under the Royal prerogative is such that all shareholders whose shares have been duly transferred previous to that date —viz., the date of the dissolution—are thereby relieved from all liability whatever. Such is the inherent power of a Royal • charter.' "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, _ " LEX." THE GREAT ATLANTIC SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH CABLE. Mr. Charles T. Bright, engineer to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, in writing to the editor of the Times, says:— Will you allow me to assure the writer of the article Mader the above beading in your impression of to-day that his apprehensions in regard to the Atlantic line are groundless, and that the form of cable now being mane factored has not been hastily adopted. I will not remark upon the kind of cable which he so earnestly advocates, for the columns of a scientific journal are more suited to such a discussion, bat I namit say that I d., not wish any antagonist so certain a loss as the endorsement of Mr. Ailan's theories by an experi ment of their value upon a largo scale. I de not know upon whose authority he ventures to rush in upon us so boldly with the assumption that our conducting wire is "ridiculously small." I have had some practical experience for some years in working telegraphic hive, and have had, as engineer to the Mag netic Telegraph Company, the charge of the greatest length in the woor►d of subterranean wires, the con &Lions c f s hich are electrically the same as those of sub marine wires ; and Mr. Whitehouse,, the electrician to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, has been engaged for a long time iu tatieriments upon submarine conductors. We are not oppressed by any fears as to the eleii.trical success of the cable ; and, to my mind, the alteration in the conductor, by using return wirer, which your article alludes to, would be (to fo low up the writer's simil , ) lixe laying an additional pair of rails over a long line of railway, when a modification in the form of loComotive employed wool.' answer every purpose. It would be more graceful for those who are without that knowledge of telegraphic matters which practical experience alone can teach to pause before they thrust forward their theories so positively. THE LAID EXPLOirf)N AT LU2 DRILL. LUND RILL, THDRSOAT. During yesterday and to-day five more bodies have been recovered, making a total of nine which have been got out of the pit. We have previously stated that upwards of 100 miners had volunteered to assist in the work of recovering the bodies and restoring the pit. From this number 72 of the most experienced and intelligent men were selected to take part in the work. On Toes isy evening these men were assembled at the Lundhill Coal Company's offices and divided into six parties, each party consisting of 12 men. An experienced colliery viewer was deputed to direct the operations of each party, and, as from the confined space in which they are, at work no more than one party could he employed at the same time, it was arranged that they should work in shifts of four hours each. The six enperintending viewers are Mr. W. Madison, of the W.)inbwell Main C dliery ; Mr. R. C. Webster, of the II yland Collieries ; Mr. Brown, of Barnsley ; Mr. Potter, of the Barnsley Collieries; and Mr. Palmer, a gentleman from the north. Mr. Coe, the viewer at Lundhill, is deputed to superintend the opera tions of the three day shifts, and Mr. Peace, the former viewer at Lund bill, those of the three night shafts. Char coal respirators are provided to be used when necessary, disinfectants are supplied in abundance, and all other re quisites are furnished. A surgeon is also in constant attendance at the pit, to be rewly in case of ilneas or accident. The first relay of volunteers commenced their operations during Tuesday night, and one of their first proceedings was to explore the immediate locality of the shafts, for the purpose of removing any bodies which might b lying there. Within the short distance the very partial ventilation enabled them to penetrate they speedily t,,und four bodies, which were brought to bank at an early hour yesterday morning, placed in coffins, and conveyed to the reception shed. They were all somewhat mutilated, and in such a state of decom position r.s to be beyond the possibility of re cognition' so far as the bodies themselves were con cerned. Two of the bodies had no clothes on which could he recognised, and they were conveyed in a hearse to Darfield church yesterday evening, and there interred. It was thought possible that the other two might be identified by their boots or clothes ; they were conse qnently kept with that view, and have been seen by a considerable number of the bereaved, but without being satisfactorily identified. After the removal of the few bodies they could find the volunteers commenced the work of removing the debris of the fallen roofs in the neighbourhood of the shafts, as an essential preliminary to the reventitation of the pit. As the falls of roof caused ley the fire are more extensive than had been an ticipated much labour will be involved in their removal, but the relays are proceeding vigorously with the work. The fifth corp-e was found this morning by the men on the shaft, commencing at midnight and ending at 4 o'clock a.m., in the course of their excavations. Like the other bodies it wasmutilated and decomposed, and has not yet been recognised, if indeed it be recognisable, which is very doubtful. At the time the parcel left is was still lying in the reception shed along with the other two not interred on the previous day, that full opportunity might be given for recognition. Thus far the operations of the volunteers have been cnn6ned to the south workings of the pit, the removal ef the carcases of three horses which are lying near the shaft on the north side, and emit a very offensive stench, having prevented operations on that side. Preparations are being made for the removal of the carcases. Mr. Coe and some of the viewers have been able to penetrate near 200 3ards on the levels and enter some of the board g,tes for a short distance. So far as they have gone not the ,lightest appearance of fire has been discovered, hut until the ventilation has been further restored it is impossible to fully explore the parts where the fire raged, so as to ascertaib with ,absolute certainty that none re mains, although it is confidently believed that the fire is •.c holly extinguished. Mr. Coe has penetrated as far as the ventilating shaft, but from the extent of the falls around it was unable fully to examine it. The examinations that have been made show that the fire had raged even to a greater extent than had been uppoFed, and furnish an additional evidence of the pro of the course adopted in closing the mouths of the down cast shafts to cut off the current by which the fire awl fed, a few hours after the explosion. It is expected that the engineers will meet again on Saturday. The recovery of the bodies will proceed but :I , wly. until the fallen air currents near the shaft are restored. No serious inconvenience has been expe rienced from the noxious effluvia in the pit. - The annual show of the Royal babliu Society was held yesterday, but, owing to the unfavour able strte of the weat':er—the rain scarcely ceasing during the whole day—the at'endance of visitors was very meagre. Lord Carlisle and the Viceregal suite arrived at*3 o'clock, and stay.;d in the yard fur fully two kourit. - The exhibition of stock and farming implements was u. t inferior to that of any 'previrms year, and everything, it may be said, passed off well: His Excellency was again prei , ettr at the evening meeting, and the Earl of Clancarty having 9f - ithanks t _ Lord Carlisle responded in a graceful speech, in the course of which be thus toucued upon a topic of painful in terest just now to the agricultural classes " We cannot hear of such congregations of herds of cattle without having our attention perhaps Less agree ably, attracted to the .possiblel trust not probable— course of the visitation from that cattle murrain which has inflicted such ravages over a great portion of eastern ai,d, I fear I must now aid, of central Europe—l trust tbat all that can be smuts by the. authorities on that sub ject will be done ; but the laws . of contagion and the operation of contagious and epidemic influences are still so obscure that it would be impoSsible to dogmatise on the 'subject, 'and the contrast between the healthy and ft surishing appearance of these breeds of all classes which we have seen on the lawn and in the courts of this society to-day, wi . h the probable altered aspect which they must present under the visitation of such a • pest lease, must tench Ui in what close and immediate dependency of our most cherished hopes and our best organised precautions must rest upon' the Almighty blessing. (Hear, hear, an I applause.) I took the li berty just now of referring in a rather light strain per; haps to,the great electoral contest which has been g)ing on through the cauntry. To adopt, however, for one moment rather a graver mood, inclosing these brief re marks, I may be permitted to mention that this consti tutional process which is no/ brought to a close must inevitably, perhaps, have engendered on certain occa sions acme bitterness of feeling—some interruptions of good humour—some alienations among th,,se who ought to be good neighbours. But Ido trust that the laud able pursuits which: it is the aim of this society to en courage by these annual meetings will have their due effect in reconciling and uniting all classes and ail parties in the furtherance of objects which tend so much to the common good and undi,puted benefit of all. Con fident I feel that the dregs and sediment of party busi ness cannot be carried by any more wholesome method of effervescence than in the healthy, useful, and honour able calling of agriculture. (Applause) Parties and Governments may be subject to vicissitudes and change; but. you, my lords acid gentlemen, have the green soil of Ireland lying fresh beneath you—firm and fresh be neath you. There it is—do justice to it, cultivate it, enrich it, adorn it—for you will find it ever ready to re ward and repay the skill and industry which shall best develope its abounding resources. (Loud.applause.)" THE AIOUNTGA.REETT PEERAGE CASE. __— Eleven of the twelve judges sat in error yester day for the purpose of giving judgment on the ap plication for a new or third trial in the now his toric case of "Butler v. Mountgarrett." There having been a disagreement of opinion, their 1-rd ships delivered judgment seriatim., Mr. Justice Keogh, as junior, commencing, and at the adjourn ment of the court four out of the eleven had still to speak. Let the issue be what it may, it is not, of course, in the nature of things legal that the decision wilt have any other effect than that of hastening the " beginning of the end" of all such protracted and expensive suits, namely, the final appeal to the highest and most costly tribunal in the land. The facts of the case are briefly these : "The action was an ejectment on the title, brought by Mr. Pierce Somerset Butler against the Right Hon. Henry Edmond Butler, Viscount Mountgarrett, to re cover possession of certain lands worth several thou sands of pounds per annum, and situate in the county of Kilkenny. The declaration in ejectment was filed in July, 1853, and, defence having been t.ken, the came went to trial at the summer assizes of Kilkenny in 1854, brfore -Judge Ball and a spekial jury, and, alter a pro tracted investigation of several days, terminated in a verdict ter the plaintiff, the tact of the defendant's legitimacy being the only question to be decided. In Michaelmas term in the same year a conditional order for a new trial was granted by the Court of Exchequer, arid subsequently \ made absolute, on the ground that illegal evidence was admi , t,cl at the trial, &c. The case then went down for trial again , and was re-tried b e f or e Mr. Sergeant Berwick and another special jury at the spring assizes of 1855, when, after anoth e r v er y pro treeted inquiry, there was a verdict the other way, namely, for the defendant. The plaintiff then came be fore the Court of Exchequer and asked for a third trial on the same ground that the second trial was granted— viz , that illegal evidence was admitted ; but that Court was of opinion that tha verdict in favour of Lord Mount garrett should staud ; and it was from that decision ' that the present appeal proceedings were instituted. The questions raised for argument and the facts in relation to them were shortly these :—The late Earl of Kilkenny having died seised of the extensive estates in question, the plaintiff claimed them as beiraelaw, and adduced his title in the following manner, viz., as the youngest brother of the deceased earl, and the legitimate heir to the property, the defendant beine, as he alleged, illegitims. e. The deceased Earl of Kilkenny died unmarried, and had three brothers, Somerset, who also died unmarried, Henry, the father of the defendant, and the plaintiff, who Was the youngest: The plaintiff alleged that the defendant's father's marriage to his mother, Miss Harrison, was illegal, as he lied a site alive at the time—a lady named I ewooke ; and the only questions in the case were, in fact, was there a marriage with Mrs. Celebroeske, and was it a legal marriage, and such as invalidated Henry Butler's marriage with Miss Harrison ; for, if so, it was admitted that the plaintiff would be entitled to the ti le and estates in question. Upon the last trial it was pro posed by the plaintiff to cross-examine the Dowager Marchioness of Ormond, who was examined far the de fendant, to show that the representatien of the family was that Henry Butler had formed a marriage with Mrs. Colebrooke before his marriage with Miss Harrison, but the evidence was objected to by the defendant's counsel, and the objection being allowed, and the evidence ac cordingly rejected, the present application for a new trial was made. That was the principal point in the case ; but there were some other exceptions taken to the charge of the learned judge for the exclusion of other evidence, which were of minor importance. " Mr. Justice Keogh having entered minutely into the facts of the case, and reviewed the arguments of counsel on both sides, his lordship considered the autho rities bearing upon the questions at issue, and concluded an etaborete judgment by giving his opinion that the first and principal exception, that relating to the rejec-1 tion of the Marchioness of Orrnond's evi tepee, should be allowed, and a teneie de novo granted accordingly ; the other exceptions to be overruled. " Baron Greene folio wed, overruling all the exceptions, none of which he held could be surtaiued in law. "Judge Jackson and Barons Richards and Penne father also gave judgment overruling all the exception•. "Judges Moore and Ball allowed the first exception, and overruled the rest. "The Court then adjourned to 11 o'clock this day, when the other members of the Cuurt will severally pro nounce judgment. " As the case now stands there are three members of the Court for granting a venire de novo, and four contra."

"Sir,—ln your leading article of the 21st inst., you express some,doubts as to whet General Ashburnham is exactly the man for taking sudden prissevion of Canton, marching on Pekin,' kc. In those misgivings I most heartily coincide, and you shall judge from one little episode in tho General's services whether I have riot a good reason for so . _ " I have now in my possession a little memoran dum book, in which I wrote down a few notes on the campaign of the Sutlej in 1845.46, jotted down immediately after the last action, Sot , rion. From these, as-ostei by the most vivid recollection of what occurred in my cognisance, I give you the following details : " That you may understand what I have to say, I.must premise that our chief advanced post at Rhodawal/ah was about a mile from the left front of our camp, and about 200 yards from the nearest point of the Sikh intrenchments ; 'that at some BGO yards from. Rhodawallah, is the direction of the shortest line to those intrenchments, was a Sikh outpost termed the Maichan (look-out wage). • In the immediate neighbourhood of this post it had he decided by the Commander-in-Chief, Gover nor-General, and heads of department , , in council assembled, that our battery of heavf artillery was to be thrown up, destined to subdue the first of that portion of the Sikh intrenchtnentupon which Our main a‘tack was to be made. " Brigadier Ashhurnham was in command of the outpost of Rhodawallah on the 9th and 10th of ' February, 1846, having under his orders her Ma jesty's 9th, two native regiments, and a detail of artillery. At 11 p.m. of the 9h I, th.n.holding the position of a staff officer, started fr nn camp by order of the brigadier commanding the artillery to inform Brigadier Asliburnham that the first gun of the siege train had got under way, and to desire him to lose no time in taking the Sikh outpost at the Maichan, agreeably to the orders of the Comman der-in-Chief. Arrived at his tent, I f mud tie Brigadier in his dressing-gown. I communicated to him the message I was charged with. He re plied that his orders were to take the Maichan with her Majesty's 62d at 4 o'clock a.m. I objecte I that the regiment in question was 'three miles to the rear ; that some most valuable hours would in evitably be lost if he insisted on having tha, regi ment ; .that our , artillery was to open at dayLght, an that, a battery could not be thrown up in three hours ; that the 9th under his command would do the business equally well ; and that there was evidt•ntly a great discrepancy bet wean tie orders-he had received and those my brigadier were in pons s alon of. My reasoning was of no avail. ; the 62d, at 4 a.m., was his ultimatum. - • ".1 returned to camp. My brigadier, his second in command of the same rank, and the two briga diers of the Engineers, disgusted at the stare of affairs—a boggle in Umine—proceeded to Itir)da wallah to endeavour to persuade Brigadier Ap,h burnbant of tie ne,:essAy of taking the post at once. I ac - xunpanie 1 them. They w,•re not a whit more successful than I had been. He was obdurate. " The whole of the offic , rs and wen attached to the Heavy Ar illery and Engin,ers remained fr Say, 12 o'clock till 4 a.m. kicking their h els' in the most bitter cold night, wfliout covering orfire, instead of throwing up the r b ittery as was in tended by the Commander. in-Chief. "By th;s time Sr. H. Gough, Commander-in- Chief, bedight in a white blanket p.iletit over his uniform, Sir H. Hardinge in his carriage, and their `brilliant' staffs had congregated at Ithodaw,illah. What was said to li.igadier Ashimmliam. by Sir EI. G ,ugh on the matter I know not, but I would not have held his position that due morning for a good round sum However, the 621 at I.nigt. made their appearance. They loaded as I stool ray, anii, under the command of Brigadier Ashburnham, started through the darkness in the directi m of Mitichan. Every ear was stretched to catch the faintest noise, expecting every instant to hear a shout and a rattle of musketry. Not a sound ! A quarter of an hour elapsed. Sir H. Gough sent an aide-de-camp to ascertain what hal happened. It was dark, and he lost his way. A second was not more fortunate. A third at length returned with the information that the 62d, under the command of the Brigadier, were lying in the dry null th (water-course), between us ant the Maich tn. Oh the exasperation of that moment ! Sir H. Gough was frantic as only Sir H. Gough could be. ! what in the world more orders would he want .? Let him take it immediately !' was his Excellency's reply to the aide-d-camp. " The regiment, under command of the cautious Brigadier, went up to the Maichan, and—there was not a soul in it ! " The above occurrences appear in Sir H. Gotgli's despatch, as follows :—` It was directed that this (the taking of the Maichan) should le . done during the night of the 9th, !Jut the execution of this part of the plan was deferred, owing to mis conceptions and casual circumstances, until near daybreak.' "From the above you may perhaps gather what General Ashburnharn's military capacity is, and I whether he is likely to be the man for China. I should state, however, that, on the receipt of Sir H. Gough's despatches in England Brigrolier A.,lburn , ham was nominated one of her Altie•oy's ai les-de ; camp for having, according to the de:patches manceavred with great coolness and success as a reserve.'

CANDIDATES AND THEW. WIVES —The ladies have taken an active part at several of the elections just ended. At lindler, , fleld, as moat of our readers know, Mr. Akroyd, at the close of the election, em braced his wife in the presence of the ae.ernbled thou sands in St. George's-square, to whom the lady and her husband then bowed their acknowledgment.. It is said that an influence that largely contributed to Lord John Russell's return was the admiration excited by the appear. 'mice at the hustings, and active interest taken in the poll by his wife, Lady John Russell appeared in the City with her childrec, visited the different polling-booths, had a smile and a courtesy ready for every voter, and completely won the hearts of the multitude. Another candidate's wife in the country carried matters even farther than did Lady John Russell. Lady Mildred Hope, the daughter of the Marquis of Salisbury and wife of .Mr. B. Hop e (who has just got in ;or Maidet , one), by the admission of ail parties carrit d the election for her husband. She did not exactly canvass for him, but all through the election she was constantly driving about the towu. She was also most active at the nomination, and during the poll ing ; and, at the close, unable to restrain herself any finger, she threw up the window of her hotel, and a - dressed the mob in a speech which everybody agreed was better than her husband's delivered immediately afterwards from the 'same place.—Bradford Observer.

Every pre caution has been taken to prevent her hanging upon the way:, which so signally marred the effect of the launch of the Marlborough. Orders have been received at Chatham Garrison, directing that the non-commissioned, officers and men belonging td- the depots of those Indian regi ments which are serving iu the Bengal Presidency are to be immediately medically inspected, with the view of ascertaining the number of troops fit for embarkation, in order to enable the autboritie < to tike up the necessary- amount of ton nage for their conveyance, to join the head-quarters of their respective corps. On the receipt of the order at the Provisional Battalionupwards of 2,000 non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the depots of the Bth (the King's), 21th, 27th (Ennis killens)' 32d, 35th, 52d(Light Infantry), 53d, 606, (Royal Rifles), 61st, 70th, 75th, 81st, and 87th {Royal Irish Fusiliers), the head-quarters of which regiments at e serving iii Bengal, were inspected yes terday and the previous day at the garrison hospi' al, Chatham, by' Dr. A: Maclean and the medical staff at that estahlitthmEnt. The above depots will give nearly 3,000 tror,ps to the service companies of their regiments in India, the whole of whom are in a high state of discipline and have gone through a course of instruction in the use of the Enfield rifle. The Scout, Coastguard cutter, Mr. Leaman, Commander, arrived at Sheerness at 10 a.m. yes terday, having on board M. Hawkings, ordinary mariner, being the only survivor of the crew of the Curlew, Coastguard cutter, Mr. W. Shepherd, late second mate in command. It appears that the Cur lew and Scout anchored on the previous night on the flat f the Mouse Saud, the Mouse light-vessel dtstaot faun the Curlew about half a mile, the light vessel bearing north-west, and the Scout was at an chor about a quarter of a mile from the Curlew. M. Hawkins r, lie ved the look-out man on the deck of the Curlew at 12 ()clock. At about 1 a.m. Hawk ings perceived at a short distance a large steam veasel coming right on for the Curlew. He imme diately rae to the companion, and called out for all hands to come on deck as quickly as possible—that there was a large- atelmer steering direct upon the Curlew. He th-n ran aft, 8 , epped up on the tsf rail of the Curlew, and called out as loudly as he could, but in a few . seconds the steamvessel came stem on to the Curlew, a:riking her tafeall right. in midships, and breaking the main boom. Hawkings jumped up, and caught hold of the bobstay of the steamvessel. He then heard some person on board the steamvessel say, " Why did you net s'a)w a light 1" and the same person said " Stop her I" Hawkings heard no more, he Lund himself under water, and shortly after on recovering himself he found he had hold of the rigging at the mast-head of the Curlew. He was entangled in the standing and running rigging of the Curlew's topmast, the topmast.being carried away. He then clearly saw the steamvessel lower a boat, the boat was manned, but he positively states that all the boat's crew lay on their oars after laying the stesmveasel, and that they drifted from him with the wind and tide, and never once pulled towards him. 1u about half-an-hour afterwards he was taken off the rigging by the boat's crew of the Scout iu a very exhausted state from hr ving been under wet.-r some time, and bruised by the steam vessel running over him. The crew of the Scout identified the stettnvemel as being the Baron Osy, of Antwerp, from Antwerp, bound for London. The Scout's boat remain I about the mast of the Curlew for some hours to recover the broken spars and rigging, also h ping that some of the bodies might rise to toe surf.ice. At the time the Curlew was run down it was rather dark, but not densely dark. The persons drowned are Mr. Vim. Shep herd, second mate in command ; Alegi. Twinney, marin,r ; Henry Whi!e, gunner ; Wm. Redding, mariner ; Edward White, mariner ; Wm. Weeller, ordinary marner ; and Joseph Mathews, first class boy. On the sad affair being made known to the port authorities by In-pecting Commander Wm C. Forsyth, it. N., immediate arrangements were made for the steam-vessels Lizard, Lieut. Thomas B. Christopher, and the African, Rheuben Harvey, to t Ake on board an etlicient number of riggers, &c., with' weiating gear, and proceed down to the Curlew. B st-ani-vessels left Sheerness between 1 and 2 o'clock, the riggers being under charge of Mr. John Jackson, the Assistant-Master-Attendant of the yard. Capt. Forsyth also proceeded to the spot to render such assistance with his men as the natute of tee case required. During the night the wind veered front north-west to west, from that to north-east, and at timoi to the eastward. There is' no doubt that iu two or three tides the Curlew will be got in on the ebb dry on the Mouse, or, if practicable, towed to Sheerness be tween the two st,:am-wssels sent out to raise her. Tile Avon, 3 guns, paddle wheel steam-vessel, tender to fl,ig-ship at Devonport, arrived at Sheer ness yesterday at noon from Devonport and Ports mouth with supernumeraries and seamen" for the Cumberland, Capt. John B. Dickson. The Cum berland is setting up her lower rigging and has sent up topmasts; she is progressing rapidly in her equipment. The Giraffe steam-vessel, R. B. Hart, corn minder, and the Columbine steam-vessel, John Target, curnmander, arrived at noon, the former from Flushing, the latter from London, for the purpose of taking away four mortar vessels (which have been lent to the General Steam Navigati on Company) to raise the ship Ravensbourne, belong ing to that company, w hich is sink in ten f at h oms water oil Flushing. The company have engaged the services of Mr. W. Orchard, of h er M a j esty ' s dockyard at D e vonport, who is th e i nven t or o f au improved method. of raising sunken ships. The Lyra, 9' guns, new s crew s t eam - s l oop , a t Deptford, is ordered to be placed in the second di vision of the steam squadron of reserve at Sheerness on her arrival there. The Scout, new screw steam corvette, from Woolwich for Sheerness,. was tried for speed at the measured mile in the Lower Hope on her passage down. Her mean s peed w as 11 kn o t s 8 decimals, her engines making 67 revolutions per minute with 20 lb. steam pressure. Her engines worked isatis factodly. There were no hot bearings or priming. She ran from Gravesend to Sneerness in one hour and 50 minutes. The Japanese yacht, thoroughly fitted and com pletely furnished, left Woolwich on Wednesday to adjust compasses at Greenbithe, and was ordered to sail yesterday for the West, to be paid down, and proceed 011 her voyage. Tbe sailing troop-ship Neleus, having em barked two companies of Royal Arbillery at Woolwich for Hong Kong, left the pier yesterday luorniug The designation of the troops embark :ng is as follows—namely, Captain Knox, iu command of the 4th company, 9th battalion ;Se- ClerkB—Humphrey Brett, to the Cumberland ; Juba P, Dore, to the Impregrable. i'H2 ONEIDA. Ti-morrow we ought to have telegraphic nsws from Suez, Aden, Point. de Gage, and Singapore, and also from Mauritius to the Ist inst. 17p to this latter date the Oneida would have been out 55 days from King George's Sound ; so that if she was crippled and made for the Isle of France, she would probably have reached that place by the last-men tioned date. To-morrow week we ought to hear from Australia, by way of Marseilles: lt . iS a satis faction to know that the steamer European, which should have arrived at Suez on Wednesday, has been over the track of the Oneida, and that the steamers Simla and Columbian are now crowing the Indian Ocean, also in her track, so that :alp posing she broke down, and was becalmed, she is likely to have been or to be met with. '.the steed of the Oneida, if she were obliged to sail, would be reduced one-half in consequence of the screw not lifting. A sailing vessel was one time eight months crossing the Indian Ocean, having been becalmed six months of the time. The islands in the Indian Ocean nearly in the track of the Oneida are Christ mas Keeling, and the Chagos Islands. The Oncida left king George's Sound on the 4th Feb. last. By to-morrow week we may have news from Mel bourne up to March 13 ; from King George's Sound up to the 23d, au! Singapore to the 28th of that month ; from Mauritius up to April 1, and Galle to the 7th, Aden to the 17th, a.nd Suez to the 22d of the present month. A hurricane blew in the Indian Ocean for about five days, about the middle of last February, in the latitude where the Oneida should have been at that time. The European and Australian Company d'scontinued, a week or two since, paying the wages of the crew to the families of the latter, but payment has now been resumed. The insurance rate on the gold on board the miss ing steamer is at the present time enormously high. EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA. The tide of emigration to Australia, both from. the ports of London and Liverpool, appears to be rapidly on the increase. During the past year 276 vessels sailed from the Thames, .of a tonnage of 209,012 tons ; and 125 vessels left the Metsey, of an aggrega.e tonn4ge of 140,652 tons. The tannage of the vessels leaving the Thames averaged 750 tons each, and those from the Mersey 1,125 tons. Seven teen vessels, carrying Government emigrant, were despatched during the year from the Mersey, eVefly from the Black Ball and White Star lines of packets, and 7,000 persons were sent from that port by the Emigration Commissioners. The emigrants em barked not for Melbourne only, as large numbers were destined for Sydney, Geelong, ant Adelaide. In the closing months of the year, as well as in the March and June quarters, private emigration be came exceedingly active, and above 16,000 persons left the Mersey in the ships of James Baines and Co., Gibbs, Bright, and Co., Pilkington and Wil son, P. Magee, and E. Thompson. During the year James Baines and Co. sent out in private ves sels 7,753 passengers, and 3,41.2 passengers in Go vernment vessels ; Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson conveyed in private vessels 3,675 emigrants, and in Government ships 1,662 passengers ; and Messrs. Gibbs, Brght, and Co. sent out in private vessels 1,360 emigrants. The Government returns of the entire, emigration for 1856 give 22,801 passengers, of which number 11,101 sailed under the Black Ball flag. In the first three months of the present year the same line of packets has conveyed from these shores —in January 1,000 passengers, in February 2,100, and in March 1,000. In the present month of April the number will exceed 2,000. These num bers include both Governmert and private emi grants. A still more active, emigration is likely to mark the present as compared with the past year. After June the - Victoria portion of it is to be managed in England by Mr. Childers, a commis sioner appointed by the local government, and the other portions of the colonies will 'remain for the present in the hands of the existing commissionez s in England. Mr. Childers will have, we understrad, a salary of 1,2001. per annum, and he will have power to appoint six sub-commissioners, for certain districts in the kingdom, to assist him in his duties, whose salaries will be fixed at 6001. per annum each. Of the emigrants a large number are Irish (although America is the favourite outlet for enter prising natives of the sister isle), but by far the larger numbers are supplied from England and Scotland, including numerous drafts from tie rain ing districts of the north of England. OBITUART.—Died, on Easter Monday, that terrible old nuisance, Greenwich Fair, not a bit lamented by any one who knew it, pickpockets and gents alone perhaps ex cep,ed. The deceased had been for many years in .& bad way, and at the last had sunk to solowa state that it was evident it , existence must he put a stop to. For many seasons past the deceased had been subject to attacks by the public press, and from what had transpired in cos. temporary columns—those which are devoted to p)lice reports especial'y.—it was evident that the deceased could not big be expected to survive. Ic way be said, t h ere. fore, that the death was ch i efly brought on b y f xpo. sure, while it will generally be admitted that it. can but be regarded as a happy relsase.
