ARIN ,GLARY AT HUTT The parish of Hutton was on Friday the scene of a most daring burglary effected about half past one, Offin, A.M., in the residence of M r . Abraham a highly respectable maltster and farmer. There is little doubt that one or more of the thieves engaged (five in number), was well acquainted with the premises. To effect an entry they removed ladder from Hutton Hall, the residence of Mr. Gray, which is about a quarter of a m il e f rom Mr. Offifil; house, and finding it inconveniently long for their purpose, they procured a cross cut-saw from a place in which it is usually concealed by one of the workmen on the premises, and cut off nine staves; they then raised it to a garret window usually left unfastened at the end of Mr. Offin's house, and one of them, having entered thereby, admitted the rest of the gang at the front door. They first it would seem, forced a desk in Mr. Offin's office, from which th ey obtained about 20s. in silver, and then packed up plate to the value of upwards of 401., which was left below in or upon a side board, selecting, with the judgment of accomplished burglars, the silver from the plated articles. Disappointed at not finding the cash below, three_ of them proceeded to the bed-room of Mrs. Chant, Mr. Offin's niece, who slept in a room adjoining that - in which were two female servants, Mr. Offin's bed room being a t th e en d o f th e h ouse . Each had a candle, and they all wore dark frocks which covered their persons, black veils concealing their faces. Mrs. Chant attempted to scream, but the villains imme diately covered her head with the clothes to stifle her cries. They desired her to tell them where the money was, but she assured them that she did not know, and entreated them not to hurt her uncle. Havin g ran sacked the drawers. &c., i n th e room, they took a gold watch and about 15s. in silver belonging t o rsChant, and then visited the dom es ti cs . One of them , an old servant, it was known had saved, by frugal habits, a little store, and it is supposed that some booty was here expected. The party had, however, wi se l y deposited her treasure in the Savings Bank, and seven shillings was all that the villains could here add - to their booty. Having left one of the gang to patrol between Mrs. Chant's bed-room and that of the servants to prevent either of them giving an alarm, the other four re paired to Mr. Offin's room. They awoke Mr. Offin and threatened to blow his brains out if he moved. Each held a lighted candle in his hand, one was armed with a pistol, and another had a bludgeon. Two of the fellows remained silent, and the other two in con versing with each other used a slang which for the most part was unintelligible to Mr. Offin. One of them, however, addressing him, said, " Abraham, we won't hurt you, if you will say where your money is ; money we have come for, and money we will have." Mr. Offin directed their attention to an old old liquor chest, in one corner of the room, which they forced open in a twinkling, and as speedily extracted its contents, consisting of 50 sovereigns and a 101. note. The fellows remained nearly a quarter of an hour in the room, minutely searching every corner, and Mr. Offin, observing that they had discovered where a number of drafts to the amount of between 2,000/. and 3,0001, were deposited, begged that they might not be taken, urging that they would be of no valve to them. One of the villains, said, " D—n him, he's got plenty of money in bills, but they are of no use to us," and they were suffered to remain. They then intimated their intention to take some re freshment before they left, and having taken the pre caution to remove all the candles from the bed-room, went down stairs. Mr. Offin, as soon as he was satisfied that his disagreeable guests had fairly quitted the premises, obtained assistance, and dis patched messengers to the police, who gave informs. tion at the Brentwood railway station, whence it was forwarded in various directions by telegraph.—Essex Herald. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 22.—The Fire Queen steam yacht, Lieutenant-Commander Johnson, arrived last night at nine o'clock from Plymouth, which she left at nine o'clock yesterday morning, with the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe on board, whom she landed last night at Cowes to be in readiness to receive her Majesty at Osborne this day. The Fire Queen had the honour of conveying the Queen and Court to Osborne this afternoon. She made the passage from her moorings at the entrance of the Weevil creek to Osborne pier in 37 minutes. We are not aware the passage has ever been made so quickly before by any vessel. The voyage was lengthened by the low tide compelling the yacht to go round the head of the Spit. This vessel encountered, a few nights since, one of the most awful gales ever experienced on the British coast. She lay to, under steam, not being able to make any headway at all. She eventually, however, weathered the storm, and got safe into Tenby. She will continue in attendance upon the Queen until re lieved by one of the royal yachts, a duty which we ' trust will benefit more than one officer on board of her. During the past three weeks she has been in attendance upon the Lords of the Admiralty, on their visits to Plymouth, Pembroke, Cork, and else- where. The Vernon (Indiaman), Captain Voss, will sail, wind permitting, to-morrow afternoon about three o'clock. Sir Harry Smith and staff, together with his domestic establishment, will embark at the Vic toria pier to-morrow at twelve. All the officers in the garrison will be present on the occasion. On his return from Osborne, Sir Charles Ogle visited the Turkish corvette Genah Bahiri, Captain Mustapha, which saluted him, and the officers paid him marked distinction. They are here merely on a trip of instruction and pleasure. The Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com manding C. F. Roberts, arrived to-day from Ireland, to fit for other service. The Amphitrite, 25, Captain T. R. Eden, and Trincomalee, 25, Captain R. S. Warren, put back last evening to St. Helen's, in consequence of the weather coming in thick, and anchored for the night. They sailed this morning soon after daylight. The Fury steam-sloop, Commander J. Wilcox, sailed this afternoon for Plymouth. The Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, was towed into harbour by the Echo steam-tug this morning, and was warped alongside the dockyard, to fit for the reception of the Queen Dowager. The Chatham yacht, with Sir Thomas and Lady Bourchier and family on board, sailed last night for Chatham. IVooLwicu, SEPT. 22. The Termagent steam frigate, building at Deptford dockyard, is ordered to be launched on Saturday next. The launch will take place between 20 minutes before, and 20 minutes past 2 o'clock P.M. The Niger steam-vessel, with screw propeller, is to be brought down immediately from the East India Docks to Woolwich, to be brought forward for com- mission. Th e Alban s t e am-vessel, Master-Commander B ra dshaw, is to be docked immediately at this port, and when taken out will proceed to Ireland. The remains of the late first-class engineer, Robert Fraser, of the Prometheus steam-vessel, were interred in the churchyard, Woolv‘ieh,onMonday last, with the usual honours, six engineers of the same class as the deceased bearing the pall, and fol lowed by eighteen engineers as mourners. The de ceased was nearly four years serving in the Prome theus steam-vessel on the coast of Africa, and was unwell about two years of that period. lie was a steady young man, and has left his father and mother upwards of 1,0001., the Prometheus having been very successful in the capture of slavers as to entitle him to 4501. of prize money.

During the last day's ball practice of the Ist, 2d, 3d, and 4th Infantry Com panies, a sovereign was awarded to the Ist or Grena dier Company for putting the greatest number of bullets through their target. Two LIVES LOST.—A fatal occurrence happened on Tuesday morning in the River Medway, whereby two lives were lost, by the capsize of a peter-boat, in Salt Paereach, half way been Chatham and Sheerness. The peter-boat was observed by the crew of the yacht Defiance, Master Thomas Thompson, running down with all sail set, and observing a squall approaching, the yacht was hove to, the crew immediately reefed the sails, and in a moment they lost sight of the peter boat. They directly made to the spot, when they came in contact with some boards and baskets, which left no doubt in their minds that the peter-boat with the crew had sunk. It is now ascertained that the peter-boat belonged to Edward Cooper, fisherman and dredger man, of Strood, and that he and his son were on board at the time the boat went down. They left home at five o'clock in the morning for the purpose of dredging for oysters, under the employ of the Queenborough Oyster Company. It is supposed that the father and soli w not observeere at t t h h e e belowt s i g tn u e all a pp r ° s a t e h t i h n eir . e e a i k t h f e as r t and he h d e i a d t nor the bodies hare yet been found.

During the time of his suffering several medical men attended men, but every application failed to give him relief until ho used Holloway's Ointment and Pills ; these fine medicines soon effected a perfect cure, and he can now walk with the greatest comfort.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself tinder the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item In the compact ; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

THE MARQUIS OF LONDON DERRY AND THE NEWCASTLE COAL PRO PRIETORS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l will make no apology for sending you the enclosed copy of my letter this day to the Morning Post for insertion in your journal. Had it not been for your incomparable article this day, which compels me to speak out (as far as I am concerned), it never would have had birth. I really think the only answer the deputation should receive ought to be a recommendation to establish (as in my beloved country) relief committees and soup kitchen distri butions. I remain, Sir, your constant reader, VANE LONDONDERRY. Wynyard Park, Sept. 21. (Copy.) TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST. Sir,—Your leading article of the 18th inst. has filled my mind with the most unmeasured surprise. You state your belief of the arrival in town of a de putation from Newcastle-on-Tyne, for the purpose of representing to her Majesty's Government the dis tressed state of the coal proprietors. Without presumption I may be permitted to ob serve, as connected with, and now directing, one of the oldest and largest collieries in the north of Eng land, that I have never heard one word of such de putation, nor believe in one iota of the distress pro claimed by you in any one of the great collieries in this district. True it is that I perceive with amazement in the Newcastle Journal of the 18th, that a meeting had been convened for the purpose of petitioning the Go vernment for monetary aid for general commercial, manufacturing, and mining interests (as the resolu tions agreed to state). But I beg to declare this was not a meeting of coal owners alone, but of gentlemen of all classes and descriptions engaged in the com merce of this country. Indeed, with the exception of the (certainly very respected) chairman, Mr. Bell, I do_ not find the mames of any one large proprietor, only those of viewers and gentlemen who have speculated largely in shares in the numerous small collieries that have been lately opened out in Northumberland and Dur ham. In justice, therefore, to others and myself, who have neither been consulted or advertised of these proceedings, and who utterly deny the existence of coal owners' distress, as they disapprove of this pro ceeding, I am bound most strongly to protest against your leading article. In my judgment the coal trade was never in a more healthy state ; we reap not the same high prices, but those who have large coal fields, great establish ments, and capital embarked in the trade (which is now happily free of regulation of vend), meet with fair remuneration, and are content ; and these pro prietors ought not to be run down or plunged into the mass of those who (from causes unnecessary to explain) have thought fit to join in this strange and most extraordinary appeal to the Government of the day—the more strange and extraordinary, because at the very meeting they had read to them the already formed decision of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, where he most wisely and truly states, " that nothing in his power could prevent the consequence of over speculation in trading matters, and that there was nobody who thought there was any want of circulation, or any extraordinary pressure on the money market for houses in good credit." Nevertheless, with this answer before them, it seems the deputation sallied forth. I apprehend Sir Robert Peel's Act was properly framed to prevent the bol stering up of fictitious credit, and seems to me as if it had been prophetically introduced as a safeguard to the present crisis; I also am of opinion that if the Government listened for one moment to the present appeal from the soi-disant coal proprietors, it would be soon followed by an application from the dealers in corn or the merchants in sugar. I have now trespassed too long on the patience of the public (before whom I have no doubt these humble opinions will be laid), and yet, strong as my feelings are on this subject, I should not have ven tured to give birth to them, but for the, incomparable article in the Times of this day, which compels me, as a coal owner, to vindicate myself, and, those proprie tors who think with me, before the public and the country, however unpopular or condemned I may be by many or all of my young colleagues at the New castle meeting.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, VANE LONDONDERRY, Lord-Lieutenant of Durham. Wynyard Park, Sept. 21. THE STATE OF MONEY AND MERCANTILE AFFAIRS. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, WEDNESDAY. The deputation appointed by the meeting of bankers merchants, coal owners, and others, held in this town on Saturday last, to wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer with respect to the present state of mone tary and mercantile affairs, left Gateshead yesterday morning by railway for the seat of the Right lion. Ba ronet, at Hickleton, near Doncaster, where arrange ments had been made by letter for an interview. All the members of the deputation were present except the mayor, who was unable to attend, owing to indispo sition. The deputation returned by the mail train, which reached Gateshead at twelve o'clock last night, and the following is given as the substance of what transpired : The members of the deputation were personally in troduced to the Chancellor of the Exchequer by Mr. Bell, M.P., who stated that the object of the deputa tion was to represent to the Right Honourable Ba ronet that the monetary crisis which afflicted most parts of England, and which had been most severely felt during the month of April last, was now again apprehended as likely to be felt in a si milar or even greater degree than at any former period ; and that though Newcastle and the north of n e q cn y u n e n tah c u e edr o e f, threatening3t h , e e t r e i tb wasein g af nes feared re s ee p dt e c tu u nf l a a t t t i theee bLpu present England were not so mu c h a ff ec ted as other places, c i i a n t r carried n o g n e s money market might increase to such a degree as to cause a withdrawal of the usual facilities to commer cial transactions, and that, if such a contingency should arise in this portion of the kingdom, the danger would be very considerable, in consequence of the great staple trade of the district being coal mining and iron making, which required the payment of large sums of money in weekly wages, the sus pension of which, by throwing large bodies of men out of employment, would create very great con fusion and disturbance. Mr. Bell was particular in explaining that the trade of the district was in a sound state—that railway speculation had hardly existed at Newcastle—that there had been no large speculations in corn there—and that there had not been a single failure arising from the pressure of the times; and that it was because the trade of Newcastle was as yet in a sound and healthy state that the trading com munity wished to take such steps as would prevent the evils which, from the general state of monetary and mercantile affairs, they were led to apprehend. Mr. Bell concluded by introducing Mr. Armstrong as the vice-chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, to whom he referred for any further explanation. Mr. Armstrong said he had very little to add to the observations made by Mr. Bell, in all of which he fully concurred. The object of the deputation was not to enter upon the question of the monetary system of the country, or offer any suggestions as to any course that it might be desirable to pursue, wish ing to leave these matters entirely to the considera was ye a s tion of the Gover nment. He repeated that the trade of Newcastle wa s not t a in spe sound and healthy tate, culative, but a routine of the con s u mers an d smaller trades men,ttrh a n d u t manymhauts titbe a dmitted, had suffered from the crisis in eanntd from the fall in the value of their goods upon the monetary fluctuations. At s a feeling of alarm lest the to general present there wa p re ssure should so increase as lead to the with drawal of the facilities now afforded to commerce, the effects of which in this part of the kingdom would be of a most serious character. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he did not consider there was any just cause for the apprehen sions which the deputation and the mercantile body of Newcastle appeared to entertain—that the Bank of England had not limited its discounts —that he could assure the deputation, as far as he knew, and he fully believed, it was not the intention of the directors of the Bank of England to limit discounts, as they had done in April, or to resort to any other stringent measures ; that he felt confident the worst was past, and he thought the alarm which at present existed wo uld speedily Several members of the de p utation state d that the conduct the Ban k of England had p ursued towards th e co mmercial interes ts of Newc astle had been marked by great ju d g ment and liberalit y; that in consequen ce of the new mod e a do pted by the Bank, subside. in the classification of bills, a certain quantity of un exceptionable paper was necessarily excluded from discount ; but that upon the whole the public of New castle had reason to be highly satisfied; that some pressure certainly did arise to this district from the curtailment of the usual facilities generally afforded by other London houses to merchants and brokers in Newcastle, arising from the late serious failures, and the want of confidence cons e q uen t t h ereupon ; but it was more from an apprehension of the extent to which the pressure might be increased than anything which actually existed that rendered it incumbent on the mercantile public of Newcastle to inform the Ministry, through the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the consequences would be if such a contingency should arise. The Chancellor of the Exchequer attributed the high rate of interest and the diminution of capital to the competition of railways with the commercial in terest, and also the speculations of many large mer chants, which had been erroneously calculated. It was urged by the deputation that the circulation of the Bank of England was now only 17,800,0001., while, when at the highest point of last year, it was nearly 22,000,0001.; the diminution having operated very seriously upon the prices of goods, creating a fall in the value of all produce, and causing very serious loss to the community in general ; and that from that loss Newcastle did not entirely escape, though affected in a manner much less than other places, in consequence of its trade being a routine and not a speculative one. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he con sidered the deputation had confounded the distinction between capital and circulation, and that if there was a diminution of capital arising from the export of money to pay for produce, that was a void that was to be expected from the course of trade. With regard to a diminution of the capital of the country, the deputation expressed their opinion that the capital existing was quite sufficient for the opera tions of commerce, but that the evil arose from the want of confidence inspired by the knowledge that such mighty interests were dependent upon acci dental variations in the reserves of the Bank of England to a very trifling extent ; and that this uncertainty operated so as to destroy confidence on every the slightest appearance, or even apprehen sion, of a probable diminution of the Bank reserves ; and thus, by destroying confidence, bad the effect of making the holders of capital keep it locked up in places where it was immediately accessible, instead of allowing it to take its usual channels in the operations of commerce. — The deputation dwelt emphatically on the evils arising to their ordinary legitimate trade from the rapid and sudden fluctuations in the value of money thus produced, and they complained that it was impossible to base their commercial calculations on supply and demand as in former times, because these sudden fluctuations in the value of money so operated on prices as to render such calculations difficult, and often impossible. The deputation remarked that it was not their in tention to enter with the Chancellor of the Exchequer into the question of the currency, or to give opinions as to remedies, but that they considered they had per formed the functions delegated to them by the meeting when they had stated the great evils which had befallen the trade of the country generally from the unusual fluctuations that had taken place in mone tary affairs during the last three years ; and they begged to be allowed to express a hope that the Government would take into consideration the de sirability of some modification of the recent Banking Act, which placed the commerce of the country in such imminent danger, that the withdrawal of money from circulation, and consequent severe pres sure upon all branches of trade, were now depen dent upon the accidental diminution of a very small amount of notes in the reserve of the banking depart ment of the Bank of England—the commercial com munity did think it hard that hundreds of millions in value should be dependent upon such accidental cir cumstances. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said that a re laxation of the Bank Act could only be effected by Act of Parliament, and was not a question within the department of Ministers to decide, nor was it in the department of Ministers to counsel the Bank of England as to what amount of paper they should dis count. The Right Hon. Baronet concluded by ex pressing his willingness to listen to the expression of the opinion of the commercial community on all mat ters of this kind, or any other in which their interests were involved, and to give those opinions the best con sideration in his power. This terminated the discussion, and the deputation withdrew. THE SWINTON MURDER• ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER.m murder erof SWINTON, TUESDAY.-Th e C oroner ' s i nves ti ga ti on respecting the brutal the poor old man, named Caleb Barker, near this place, on the night of the 4th instant, was resumed t d yes er ay before Mr. Badger and the jury previously , empannelled. The deceased, it may be remembered; was a warehouse man at the Don Pottery, and on the night in ques tion left his home and went to a neighbouring public house. There he had some ale, and paid fees for a club he belonged to. He left perfectly sober, and about ten o'clock was found in a ditch in a dreadful condition. He was quite insensible, and died a few hours afterwards. There were several fractures on his head, evidently inflicted by some heavy instru ment, and Messrs. Blythman and Holliday, sur geons, were of opinion that those injuries were the cause of death. Just before the deceased was dis covered, a man was met coming from the spot where he was found, and other parties spoke to having seen a young man, a stranger, in a public-house not one hundred yards from the scene of the murder, and who suddenly left about ten minutes before it was committed. At that house he gave the name of Sellars. A variety of circumstances went to fix sus picion on this party as being connected with the murder. As far as possible a description of his person, &c., was circulated throughout the country, and not many days elapsed ere he was discovered in a somewhat singular manner. On Monday, the 12th inst., a burglary was committed at the farm of a Mr. Brooks, between Doncaster and Barnsley, and a quantity of plate and other articles stolen. The police having a description of the property, a party was found pledging a great portion of the stolen plate on Wednesday morning at Westbar. He was immediately lodged in custody, and Mr. Inspector Ashwood, on seeing the prisoner, was struck with his resemblance to the party supposed to be the murderer. The description, as forwarded by the coroner, was read over at the Town Hall, and was found to corres pond with the prisoner in every particular. He first gave as his name John Shakspere, then as Edward Garland. On his clothes being carefully inspected, several marks of blood were found on his trousers, more particularly about the waist and right leg. The finding, however, upon him of nearly every article which the deceased had in his possession at the period of his death, settled all doubts that might be then en tertained on the subject. Under the orders of the magistrates he was remanded, and on the following day nearly succeeded in destroying himself. The inspector on duty had occasion to go to his cell with a man who had lost a cow, and who had reason to suspect the prisoner of stealing it, when on attempt ing to unlock the door he discovered that it had been fastened on the inside. It was instantly forced open just in time to prevent him eluding justice by com mitting self-destruction. He had torn a long slip from a woollen rug which covered his bed, and, after fastening this round one of the bars over the door, was in the act of securing a noose which he had made round his neck, when he was frustrated. As may be imagined, thegaol authorities adopted greater precautions to ensure his safe custody. At the resumption of the inquiry yesterday con siderable surprise was manifested at the non-attend ance of the accused in the keeping of the police. An application it appears has been made to the Sheffield magistrates to allow the prisoner to be present to hear the evidence against him. Mr. Rayner, police inspector, detailed some conver sation be had with the accused in the gaol last Sun day, when he denied that he had been at Swinton for three or four years. The jury holding that the prisoner ought to be present so as to give the witnesses an opportunity of identifying him, as several stated they could, the Coroner was directed to solicit the aid of the Secre tary of State, Sir G. Grey, to allow hint to appear before them for a short time. If such cannot be com plied with, the jury hope they may be excused giving a verdict. Accordingly, to communicate with the Home Office, the proceedings were again adjourned. NEW LIFE PRESERVER. EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH. A highly important and interesting experiment took place yesterday, at Woolwich, to establish on a full scale the merits of Mr. Alfred Rely's newly invented "flexible floating cylinder," and its combi nations, for the preservation of life from shipwreck. The trial was carried on in the presence of Commo dore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. and K.C.11., and under the direction of the inventor, by order of the Lords of the Admiralty, who, in consequence of the favourable report of the Commodore Superintendant of the Dockyard on the subject of the partial trial he made of the above invention on the 15th of May last, were pleased to order the construction of a full-sized "catamaran," composed of 30 flexible floating cylinders. The exclusion of water from any sub stance of less specific gravity must produce a floating effect equal to the difference of the density of the two bodies ; and the amount of buoyancy is in the ratio of the gravity of the mass, and of its displacement. Upon this simple but beautiful principle of nature is the present invention founded, and not on that of inflation with air, which characterizes every plan that has hitherto been brought forward for the preserva tion of life at sea. It consists of a simple cylinder or tube, made of stout flexible waterproof material, in tended, in the hour of need, to be filled with bedding clothes, provisions, stores, or any other substance of less specific gravity than water • and, when so filled and closed at both ends by a tight rope lashing, exer cises a floating power of 641bs. to the cubic foot of water displaced. Thus a hammock enclosed in one of those cylinders has been proved to float about 2121b5. dead weight, and to sustain in the water fourteen men with their heads and shoulders above the surface. The peculiar merit of this plan lies in the novelty and feasibility of the idea of not only converting articles of food, clothing, and bedding into a ready and safe vehicle for preserving the lives of passengers and crews in cases of shipwreck, but also of affording them the means of sustenance on the voyage, and shelter from the elements when landed perchance on a desolate coast. The thirty cylinders composing the raft, termed a catamaran, made use of yesterday, with their respective lashings, only weighed 851b5., and was stowed away in the compass of a small cask. These cylinders, having been charged with hammocks, &c., were securely lashed to four longitudinal and fifteen cross spars, the former twenty-five and the latter five feet in length, form ing a spacious and substantial raft, composed of a flat bottom and sides, incapable, from its nature and construction, of being either upset, swamped, or stove in, and yet Fable to be sailed and steered with the utmost facility and precision. At a given signal from Sir Gordon Bremer, and in the presence of a great many naval officers and the principal authorities of the dock-yard, the catamaran was lifted from the ground, and a bottle of grog having been broken over its bows, a white flag, bearing the inscription, "For lorn Hope," In black letters, was hoisted by Mr. Hely, the inventor, and received with three times three hearty cheers. The catamaran, having be en launched into the river, received on board f our half cylinders, containing eight gallons of fresh water each, and then took in thirty men, being her estimated com pliment. Paddles were used, and a square sale rigged, under both of which she behaved to the admiration of the spectators] on shore. The Commodore having expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the result of this second trial, the catamaran was c h a o r i r ld ie s d d u is p . the stage, alongside the flag-ship,.and the. the missed, the hammocks, &c., contained been in found as dry cylin ders having, on being turned a special report of the ex d doubt look further riment will be made,. will . no ou Peinvention, • h the view merits :of thin curious . with into the to its ultimate adoption in the service. as s f twheheAndtinhieryarty7teofiwrshtepmu.t out, been The Lords UNCLAIMED LETTERS.—A bulky return moved for in the last Parliament b y Mr. Slin g sby Duncombe, M.P. for Finsbury, shows that there were lying in the General Post-office at the date of the return (a few month since) 4,201 letters containing coin, bank-notes, bills of ex change, and other property; the coin amounting to 3101. 9s. 7d., the bank-notes to 1,0101., and the bills of exchange to 40,4101. The catalogue of the " other pro perty" contains some sufficiently amusing items, from gold rings and silver spoons down to love-locks and pawn-tickets. We notice, amongst other items, shaving papers, ribands, waistcoats and shirts, artificial flowers, soda-powders, razors, books, fish-hooks, fiddle-strings, a will, snuff-boxes, galvanic rings, medicines, bradawls, mats, scissors, nightcaps, a soldier's discharge, protests, petitions, Greek MSS., punch, hair, pill-boxes, &c. Im mediate steps are taken to return dead letters containing property as soon as found to the writers, by enclosing them to the local post masters, or by sending notices to the writers. When all inquiry is found unavailing, the letters are kept three years, to give time for application for them, after which period the property (if money) is paid into the Exchequer. Other property is sold, and the proceeds paid into the Exchequer. The number of letters containing money-orders lying in the General Post-office, London, amounted (at the date of the returns) to 346, and the value to 4071. 12s. Bd. TESTIMONIAL TO MR.

CATHOLIC MOVEMENT IN FAVOUR OF POPE Pius IL—Last evening a numerously attended meeting of the Roman Catholic inhabitants of Deptford, and the friends of liberty of every other denomination, was held at ;the parish chapel, High-street, for the purpose of sympathising with Pope Pius IX. in his present struggle, and to express indignation at the unprovoked aggression and "the arbitrary and nefarious proceedings of Austria." The chair was taken by the, Rev. Mr. Marshall, who explained the object of the meeting ; and the Rev. Mr. Coyle moved and Mr. Henry Backe se conded a resolution expressive of the warmest attach ment, esteem, and respect for the person of his Holiness, and their admiration of the wise and liberal course of government which he had adopted. The second resolu tion, proposed by Dr. Drury and seconded by Mr. Geo. Bocke, which met with unanimous adoption, was to the effect that they denounced the Austrian aggression on the Papal states as arbitrary and indefensible. Mr. Masterson moved and Mr. Furlong seconded the adoption of the next resolution—" That they who would rather lend their right arm to sustain the shock of battle than contribute anything in the way of money aid, in con sequence of their great poverty, should nevertheless throw in their mite towards defraying the expenses, and supporting their heroic Pontiff in repelling his ambitious and bloodthirsty invaders." Several other gentlemen having addressed the meeting in terms condemnatory .of the aggressive policy pursued by the Emperor of Austri a, a subscription was entered into, and a hearty vo t e thanks passed to the Rev. Chairman. A journeyman gunsmith at St. Etienne, a few days ago, under the influence of insanity. broke ' a ll the furni ture of his apartment, and threw .ttel he ments out of Placed himself the window.
