RIGA TO DUNABURG.- CIRCULAR. The Directors, having now completed their negotiations with the Russian Government for the above Railway. have much pleasure in laying before the Shareholders the follow ing particulars of their arrangements, together with the prin cipal features of the Imperial Concession of 1853, which was confirmed, with additional advantages, by his Imperial Ma jesty, on the 26th February, 1857 : ' A fixed Capital . of. 10,200,000 silver roublA, or about 1,636,2501. sterling, over which the Company has the abso lute control, and of the expenditure of which they are not re quired to give any account to the Russian Government. _ , • The fixed Capital has been changed in consequence of the length of the line having been reduced, and several important modifications having been allowed by the Russian Govern mint. A Concession for a period of 75 years, dating from the open ing of the whole Line, during whi c h th e Russian Government basreserved no right to purchase the Line. A guarantee, by the Russian Governinent, of 41 per cent, for interest and sinking fund. A sinking fund of one-eighth per cent, is sufficient to redeem the capital in 75 years. This, calculation has been verified, together with all others of importance, by an eminent accountant. The line has been most carefully surveyed by John Hawk shaw, Esq., the engineer-in -chief. It is of very easy construc tion —there being no tunnels, deep cuttings, nor high em bankments—few bridges, and those offering no engineering: difficulties. The whole line is almost upon a level, the maxi mum gradient being lin 209, sloping gradually from Diina burg to Riga ; thus greatly economising the cost of con veying the produce from the isterior. A contract for the construction of the railway and the Supply of the whole of the rolling stock and material, has, with the approval of the engineer-in-chief, been entered into with an eminent English contractor, with ample security for Its due performance. The total sum required for tho construction of the Railway including all moneys to be paid to the contractor, the ex treme cost of the land, the interest on calls during construc tion, and the preliminary and all other expenses of manage ment, &c., whatsoever, have been carefully estimated at the aura of 1,343,000/, sterling. thus showing an excess of fixed capital over expenditure of 293,2501., the benefit of which excess will be obtained by the Shareholders by the redemp tion of their shares at par. The amount of the guarantee on the fixed capita of 1 2 6 36,2501. (after deducting the one-eighth per cent. for the sinking fund) is 71,586/. per annum, which, upon the above estimate, gives 51 per .cent. per annum for interest on the capital (1,343,0001.) actually required, and still leaves a con siderable margin for unforeseen contingencies. By the statutes the shares will be reduced from their origi nal amount of 1001. to 201., or 125 silver rubles, 500 francs, 236 guilders, or 139 thalers of Prussia, each. In conse quence of the reduction in the guaranteed capital, and the issue of the shares being limited to 81,600, four shares only of 201. each will be exchanged for each 1001. share. On these shares of 201. only 161. 10s. will be required to make up the above estimated expenditure of 1,343,0001 ; and the guaranteed interest of 17s. 6d. per share, exclusive of the sinking fund, is equal to 5,1 per cent. on this amount. The shares will be redeemable at the par of 201. out of the sinking fund by periodical drawings. It is proposed, on the completion of the line, to issue separate coupons in series, available for 10 years each. One of these coupons will re present the guaranteed interest, and the other the dividends on the extra profits of the line. The former will expire on the redemption of the share at par but the latter will con tinue in force during the period for which it may have been iss ue d . , A sum for interest during construction has been inc'uded by the Russian Government in the fixed capital : and 5 per Ce nt per annum will therefore be paid on all calls until the °Peuing of the whole line. The shareholders will enjoy, during the whole period of the c oncession, the entire profits, which, upon a most careful ca lculation, based upon the existing traffic, show a rate of 15 Per cent The Railway will connect with Riga the three capitals—St. P etersburg, Moscow, and Warsaw. The line runs for nearly the whole distance through a district, the cultivation of which would bear comparison with that of any other country ; and, independently of the through trade, there can be no doubt that the local traffic, both in goods and passengers, will form an important and increasing item in the receipts of the line. As an instance of last year's traffic, it would have required two full trains •f 35 waggons each per day, for the whole shipping season (say six months), to have brought down the !lax alone shipped last season from Riga. Nor will the pro tected Libau line injure these prospects ; but, on the con ti,r,arY, acting as a feeder from Koursk and Orel, it would P.„`: 111 ,r; the produce of these provinces (hitherto shipped at St. r etersburg) to Diinaberg ; a fair share of which would natu ,,,n for the reby nearly shipment to the important port of Riga, saving 100 miles of carriage. All Crown lands are given for the purposes of the Railway, free of all expense. All private l an d s requ i re d ma y be taken at the low tariff at which the Imperial Government acquires private land. All material, such as stone, gravel, sand, clay, Se., may be taken free from the Crown lands. All rails, locomotives, and whatsoever is required for the Railway, may be imported, duty free, from any country. Since the above estimates and calculations were made, the Directors have received the highly satisfactory intelligence that the Municipality of Riga has placed at the disposal of the Company, gratuitously, whatever land belonging to the city may berequired for this railway. This land in the town itself, in the suburbs, and on the line of the road, is calcu lated at about 56 versts, or about 37 miles ; and this valuable a cquisition will effect a considerable reduction in the elti- Mated cost of the laud. The Directors, in conclusion, congratulate the shareholders upon the exceedingly favourable terms they have succeeded in obtaining beyond those originally contemplated, and sub join a summary of the principal advantages gained beyond those set forth in the original prospectus, 1. The line having been shortened, and many important modifications allowed, a smaller capital is required, which increases the amount of the dividends. 2. The term of the concession has been extended from 56 to 75 years, dating from the opening of the whole line, dur ing which time the entire profits belong to the Company. 3. A sinking fund of one-eighth per cent., instead of one half, is now sufficient to redeem the capital. 4, The gratuitous grant of all the laud belonging to the municipality of Riga which is requisite for the railway. 5. In consequence of the amount of the shares being re duced, and their number limited by the statutes to 81,600, an additional 10s. per share (i.e. 161. lOs instead of 161.) be comes necessary to be called up to meet the estimates ; but, as the guaranteed interest on bhe fixed capital is equal to 51 Per cent, ou the estimated capital, the extra 1 per ceot. on the 161. 10s. is equivalent to 15 per cent, on the additional 10s. which far exceeds the terms originally offe , ed. The official documents and letters, together with the cal culations and estimates, are open to the inspection of any s hareholder, upon his application at the offices of the Com- Pany. A call, equal te 11, on each °Ol. share, will be shortly re quired, of which due notice will he given. By Order of the Board. J. W. WARRE TYNDALE, Secretary.

SIB,—In the d-bates touching the attacks made upon General Ashburnham, Lord Pant-mire and ail who spoke maintained that for a subordinate officer to publish calumnies against his superior was a dangerous offence demanding punishment—that an officer so doing was un fit to be employed. This is talk. Mark theractice— W hen Sir C. Napier was at the head of an army in the field, and in most critical circumstances, Sir J. Out ran; then Colonel or Major Outran, published a letter filled with shameful and shameless calumnies and in sinuations against Sir C. Napier. He told the soldiers that their general, with an ignorance below that of a subaltern, had moved them through pestilent marshes, and thus wilfully, as well as ignorantly, caused the frightful mortality which had •befallen them—in fact, that he was their murderer ; and that no mistake might .occur a 4 to his meaning, Baist, of the Bombay Times, .repeating the accusation in that paper, actually de• nounced Sr Charles as the " murderer of the soldiers." Sir C. Napier, as shown :n his biograpby recently published by me, demanded protection and redress from the highest military and civil authorities. He got no redress. How was he met ? He was told.by Lord Ripon that such attacks were wholesome stimulants to zeal ; and the practical c.imment was the appointing: of Outram to a most lucrative post—one far above what hie rank gage him any title to hold. It would seem that to assail one of Lord Pannture's appointments gives - a totally different aspect to such matters. W. NAPIER, Lieut.-General. SIR WILLIAM NAPIER AND MR. WIL LOUGHBY, M.P. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN. SIR, —I have not willingly entered into the arepa of discussion between Sir Wm. Napier and Mr. Willoughby. I am sorry to say that I have not had time even to read the book which has caused the dispute ; and know little or nothing of the matter. The quarrel with „dr. Wil loughby, however, is on the part of my late father-in law, and not with Sir Wm. Napier, and as the latter has declined to take any notice of Mr. Willoughby, and proofs were put into my hands, I thought it just and right towards the late Sir Chas. Napier to make use of them in defence of his memory, and request you will do me the favour to make the same public.--I am, &c., May 9. M. I\I‘MURDO, Colonel. [Copy.] TO J. P. WILLOUGHBY, ESQ Sir,—l have perused with astonishment the following sentence in your letter to Sir Wm. Napier, in the Times of yesterday, regarding your cond.ict towards my late father-in-law, Sir Chas. Napier :—" I can assert, with out fear of contradiction, that I never wrote, or procured to be written, a single line in condemnation of Sir Chas. Napier's proceedings in India, either in the Bombay Times or in any other newspaper. Under great provocation (for I was frequently myself attacked), I stuiiuusly avob'ed all anonymous controversy in the public press; and I challenge you to show to the contrary." Your object in the above sentence is, evidently, to convey an impression to the public that you in no way aided, en couraged, or participated in, the various attacks which were published against Sir . Napier in India. But it has been stated, nn authority which I cannot doubt, namely, that of Dr. G. Ogilvy, the self-acknowledged writer and transmitter to the press of some of the principal of these attacks, and more particularly of one published under Lieut.-General Outram's name, that not only were you in frequent communication with him, epistolary and through others, on the subject of them, but that a copy of the most elaborate and vindictive of them was actually submitted to you for revision, and that you did re vise it, using your • • • 's hand, instead of your own, ter the express purpose of avoiding the possibility of detection. Even the name of this amanu ensis was given by him. Now, it is impossible to suppose that Dr. Ogilvy, who, though a violent opponent of Sir Charles, bears the character both of an honourable man and a sane one, could have invented, with all its c;rcums , ances, so extra ordinary a sta.ement. I can only, therefore, infer that, true to your instincts, you have not hesitated to try and escape from a dilemma by what, if not an absolute false hi.od, is at any rate a quibble of the most contemptible kind. As, at the close of your htter to Sir Wm. Napier, you say you are but little known in this country, I hope that the publication of this letter will show that you are to be as little trusted.—l am, sir, your obedt. servant, M. M‘MnEDO, Colonel. 55, Victoria-street, May 1, 1857. India House, May 2, 1857. Sir,—When calumniona imputations on my character were inserted in a book of the pretensions of Sir William Napier's recent publication, I met those imputations by a direct denial addressed to their promulgator, but I do not feel called on to enter into a controversy, either pri- vate or public, with any connexion or follower of his who may think fit to address a letter to me reiterating charges which I have unequivocally denied. I content myself with repeating my defiance to Sir Win. Napier to disprove any one of the statements contained in my letter of the 28th ult.-1 am, sir, your obedt. servant, Col. M`Murdo, C.S. J. P. WILLOUGHBY. NEW GOLD FIELD DISCOVERED IN' GREAT BUD- WoRTII, CHESHIRE.—There have been several ounces of gold dust disc.rivered, also a large nugget, value 631., in Great Bud worth, by the workmen employed in erecting a new school-house, on the property of Mr. R. G. a Warburton, and from all appearance this new field bids fair to beat the Australian and Californan gold fialds, arid Great Budworth will be indeed great should this discovery prove to be as great as is expected. Provisions are already on the rise, and the inhabitants are pre paring to receive lodgers. There is no deception in the quality of the gold, as Mr. Wallace, the curate, for warded a nugget to London to be tested, and it is re turned as pure gold. Mr. R. a a Warburton bas in spected the large nugget, also Mr. Joseph Donald, his agent, and numerous other parties. The gold is lying at Miss Beecroft's for inspection, and that highly esteemed and amiable lady will be happy to give every facility and information to persons wishing to inspect - the s ame . --TV - aril/791'M Guardian.

The opening trip of the above club took place last Sa turday, and was, as usual, a most spirited and agreeable affair. The yachts of the club, headed by the Commodore Mr. J. Goodson, who hoisted hisflag on board the Coral Queen, a beautiful schooner, placed at the disposal of the club by Mr. W. Tomlin, her owner, assembled at Black wall at 4 p.m., and proceeded to Erith, against a dead noser. We noticed amongst the craft afloat the Rear• Commodore's (Mr. Kirby) Violet, the Argonaut, Petrel, and several others. On arriving at Erith the c:ub dined, with between 40 and 50 members present— the commodore presiding, and the vice occupying the chair. The toasts proposed were, as usual, of a loyal and patriotic character, after which the worthy commodore gave "The Royal London Yackt Club," associating with it the name of Mr. Reynolls, one of its members, and from time immemorial one of the greatest supporters of both yachting and rowing. These toasts were succeeded by others, well timed and ably responded to, and the party did not separate till a late hour. BIRKENHEAD MODEL YACHT CLUB.

The coninitte; met at the on Thursday evening, when it was resolved that the regatta for the present year should take place on Wednesday, Aug. 26, being the anniversary of H.R.H. Prince Albert's birth day. RYDE, MAY 9. FIRST MATCH OF THE SEASON. The match which has been for so long a time past the talk of the yachting circles, between the Shadow, cutter, 52 tons, the property of Sir Gilbert East, and the Coquette, schooner, 47 tons, Mr. John Hugh S. Pigott, came off on Thursday last. The course fixed was round the Isle of Wight. The morning was in every respect as fine a one as a true lover of this delightful sport could wish. At ten o'clock, the hour fixed for starting, there was a stiffish easterly breeze blowing, with a bright sun shining. The starting gun having been fired from the Royal Victoria Yacht Club-house, both yachts got under weigh in excel lent style, veering their heads a little round to the island. It was feared, shortly after the start, by the in?xpe rienced, that both ve-sels would be run on the sands, so closely did they hug the shore ; but, in so doing, it showed the skill of the respective commanders, for by working their craft close up to the Sand's Head buoy they were enabled to keep close in shore, and thus escape the strong run of the tide. The Coquette, having a slight start of the Shadow, passed inside the Sand's Head buoy, after which she held her course out to l3remridge-ledge. The Shadow was now keeping far ther off shore with the view of rounding the " No man," thereby enabling the Coquette o pass the "ledge" first, which she did in good style at 11.30. Directly she passed the "ledge," the Coquette beet up gaff-topsails, square-sail and balloon-jib, causing her, as it were, to fly, with the breeze and tide both in favour. Upon the arrival of the Coquette off Bonchurch, the Shadow was a long distance astern : and, after a splendid dashing run to the Needlee, the schooner passed the rocks at 2.13, and the cutter at 2.25. It was after passing the last-named point that both vessels bad to struggle for the mastery, both tide and wind being here dead against them, causing them nothing hut tack for tack till their arrival at Scone Point. When oil the fort, the Coquette was compelled to " put about," and lose a deal of way which she had on her, owing to the,Government Ap prentice brig standing close on to her weather quarters. The effect of the above accident was to allow the Shadow to pass the schooner, the former gradually increasing the lead till her arrival at Ryde at 6.1., the Coquette arriv ing at 6.16. Considering the dkadvantage which a schooner labours under, in comparison to a cutter, this can be considered as no great defeat. On the contrary, it is one of the closest runs that has been for a long time, the whole of the course inside the Needles being a dead weight, with a succession of short tacks. YACHTS AT AND OFF TITS STATlON.—Henrietta Count Batthyany ; Snake, Capt. G. Brigatecke ; Dawn, - T. Broadwood, Esq. ; Wildfire, T. Turner, Esq. ; Coquette, H. S. Pigott, Esq. ; Shadow, Sir G. East, Bart,; and the Triton, T. Meares, Esq. ( FronOe &comer.) It was, of course, expected by no one that a ses sion beginning in May should plunge into a subject of such magnitude as a new-Reform Bill, which it could not possibly bring to maturity, and could hardly indeed do more than discuss in the crudest and least profitable manner. The only prActicible step was probably that which the Government has taken with a promptitude and explic'tntss gr e w ly to its credit, the acknowledgment in the face of Parliament that an improvement in the representa tion of the people is required, and that a measure for tile purpose will be prepared in the vaca•ion and, be proposed in the next se Sion. It will be observed that Lord Palmerston speaks of the sub . . _ ject with a gravity of expressionwhich shows that he takes no narrow or trivial view of it. He calls it ""a large question," from which we may fairly and even. confidently infer that he contemplates dealing with it in no petty or niggardly spirit. Large questions are only to be dealt with largely. "It may often be your duty," said Lord Mel bourne once with true wisdom, "to ros'rain the impetuosity of popular ,feeling, but this is true policy—when you do give, give generously." Mr. Roebuck, who had previously laid a resolu tion on the table pledging the house to take the subject early into its consideration, received Lord Palmerston's assurance in the proper tone, and wisely declared his intention to lealie the question in the bands of the Government. _ _ It will be remarked that the Government pledge is confined to the defects and anomalies in the ex isting-distribution of the franchise. CUnsequently, though it is right that Mr. Roebuck's notice should be withdrawn, it is otherwise with Mr. Henry Berkeley's on the independent question of the Bal lot. The Ballot, though a Parliament try Reform in itself, is a question that stands entirely apart, upon its own distinct grounds, unconne.ted with the question of electoral districts, or any extension of the electoral franchise. The advocates of the Ballot simply dem rnd that the franchise should be made a reality, let the privilege be enjoyed by few or by many. The case for it is, of course, stronger with a confined electoral body than a great one, because the smaller the • constituency the greater in proportion is the practical diminution from its power, through the operation of the foul influences. 'There is no reason, then, that the sense 'of the new Parliament should not be taken at the earliest convenient moment upon the subject of Mr. Berkeley's notice. That the question has made considerable progress with the public since it was last discussed in the House of Commons we have no doubt. ' The general election cannot but have given it a great impetus. The Marquis of Waterford, at the head of the terrorists, has done it immense service ; the Glo'ngs of Ruthin have been no less serviceable on this side of the Channel; and, as we have elsewhere shown, the failure of the Corrupt Practices Act in the Queen's Bench has reduced to a demonstration'the impotence of any possible law to protect the independence of voters exposed by their circumstances and condition in life to corruption in its most insidious forms. A DEPOSIT-NOT 4. PROMISE TO PAY! (From the Freeman.) What should Reformers insist upon this session ? 'We reply, Nothing less than a substantial deposit of reform. Many of our readers will have seen the feelers put out by the Times. _ Last week it owned that the country expected Parliament to pass a Reform Bill, and even pressed on' Toryism the danger of delay,—the danger of arousing the people to demand larger concessions tbau - would now satisfy them. This week the wind veins a point or two, the text being a rather singular mistake of Mr. Wa,tkin's, the member for Yarmouth, who strangely fancied that the Palmerstonian journal could wish to give the suffrage to every man who could write his name and vote. A liberal journal _ _ appears as if it would be satisfied by the ad - mission of a Jew to Parliament this session ; and we have little doubt that Lord Derby himself would offer but a nominal opposition to that proposal, if thereby he could insure the postponement of re form. Other liberal papers ask for an avowal of reform policy in the Queen's speech, and a full ex planation by Lord Palmerston of what he will do next session. _ We, on the other hand, ask for something worth having this session. We think there is urgent reason for Reformers to demand this. We are met, of course, by the pretence of want of .time. It is but pretence. The Morning Post in reply to Disraeli'staunt proved that Lord Palmerston had "wasted" not • a year," but on tythree weeks. As the old members have hrid so long a breathing time instead of a short Easter re • cess, and as the new ones are freAl to their work, thy can all afford to give the country ample time for the purposes for which the country elected or re-elected them. One of those purposes, the chief of them, was, notoriously, Parliamentaryßetorm. Let us hear no `more of want of time, therefore. Indeed the return of a large majority on the Liberal side, ought to shorten debates and save time. With a majority of a hun dred, a Premier, as well practised as LDrd Palmer ston in Parliamentary management, cmn save time —if he will. Next looking at the House, let the country re member that its future successes very much depend on its performances. The morale of such an army as that of the Liberals in Parliament is almost everything. If they are badly led. at fit st, baffled by ministerial cunning, dispirited by small and in significant achievements, or by defeats owing to combinations of sections of their own body with the mass of the Torieß, they will soon look upon them selves as not destined to do anything great ; they will settle down into the notion that they are to be a common-place tax-voting, cabinet-serving Parlia ment, and Reform will drag oa session after session, till it may be postponed for another Parliament. If, on the contrary, some measure be paused of which every Liberal can feel proud, of which lie can tell his constituents when he visits them in the autumn with satisfaction, for which he can be sure of re ceiving their enthusiastic approbation ; the impetus from such a triumph will carry him into next session in the same spirit, and he will be determined then to complete what he has so happily begun. Look ing, also, at the Ministry, and the uncertainty, not withstanding the vast majority, of its more than surviving this session, it is utterly unwise to throw Reform overboard to take the chances of another session and another Cabinet; a Cabine', be it ob served, which will not be under the sane obliga tions to obey the behests of this Parliament as the Premier is, by whose will it came into being. We by no means believe that a complete new Reform Bill this session need I resent any difficulty to honest legislators. We know so well the prin cipal designed and undesigned defects of the pre sent Acts, that it is mere evasion of the question to plead the time required for elaborating details. The Consus tells us with sufficient accuracy where to find constituencies : the only difficulty that can arise is to settle whether principle or expediency is to shape the new Bill. Are we to get rid of all the paltry constituencies or not ? Are we to make the number of members reasonably commensurate with the number of electors ? Are we to make some tolerable approach to bestowing the suffrage on all tax-payers, and on all who must be amenable to the laws l Are we to protect the voter against intimi dation, and against the offer of a bribe ? These are the real points for discussion ; details of a formal or a local nature will present no difficulty, and Icould indeed be re-arranged and perfected from year to year. They could even be made, as in I America, to depend on a self-adjusting principle. To be precise then : we demand, as all Reformers should, the one thing from which. nothing ought to induce them to waver—the taking of the votes at the elections by Ballot. Though not absolutely perfect, we should be satisfied with the enactments of the electoral law in Victoria on that subject. That law has the convenience of being a fact—a tried and successful fact ; and, to avoid all fanciful objections, we should be content to take the Ballot clauses of that law as they s hind. Concurrently with this, we would fight hard for an Extension of the Suffrage to all rate-paye2T, at least, both in boroughs and in counties: the preeuca of a different ' franchise for town and country be,:rig necessary, we consider to be the veriest piece of ' Tory and Whig charlatanism ever attempted to be 'tali - lied upon our common sense. We would, of course, rrqulre the abolition of the rate-paying clans . a, and make it very easy work for the revising bailie teas. We have placed these essentials in the order in which we would contend for them.. We wish for a complete Reform Bill ; hut the balls. t we would not dispense with. We would tern any Pointer out of office who refused to concede th It. There is —and Lord John Russell and Lord _Palmerston both know it well—there is more of rei.:orm in that one demand than in all the others put together. They know that all the others w ill follow that ; but, that all the others might be given, and still leave half the voters of the country at the .mercy of the dominant classes. They know that no- exten sion of the suffrage they ca n give will be of i to much value as really extending it to the thousat ids w h o now have it but iaQmically. They cart a:pout the ballot's being merely a mechanical protection to the voter, and forget that the poll book is nothing but a mechanical device to give the tenant's vote to his landlord. They pharisaically pretend concern for the non elo:I rs, yet refuse the non-electors a vote. They rtfuso, as they say, in the int-rest of the non-enfranchised, to give the ballot to the pre sent electors, but it is because they know that the first Parliamt-nt, returned by a really free election, would speedily emancipate the remaining six seventl:s of the poi:natation. We see it is no* stated that Mr• Locke King means to press his motion early, and that he created some diAnay in Downing-street by inform ing the Govern - cent of h s intention. We heartily wish him success ; but we would eatnes:ly press on him a more gen,iral form of his tri,tiop, and one which would adapt it to any Liberal change ; namely, gnat the franchise in boroughs should also be the county franchise for all persons not resident in boroughs. Mr. Berkeley's motion is, however, the one of first importance. Let us insist on giving reality to our pre,ent constituency. Let us put up with no shuffling on this point. Let us en courage the tens of thousands to vote who are now arrad to oo it, and convert the tens of thousands who are now but the voting machines for their oppressors, into really "free and independent elec tors." The Billot is the smallest deposit we should demand this session; and the country should re solve to have a deposit, not merely a promise to pay. EXPERIMEATS on, NEW DECKED COPPER PONTOONS at CHATHAM. The interesting experiment in pontoonin?, an nounced by Sir C. Pasley for 'Monday afternooe, the 11th inst., at Rochester-bridge, to which per sons who took an interest in the subject were in vited by a circular, has been postponed till Mon day, the 18th inst., in consequence of unexpected failures that occurred in previous trials on Friday and Saturday last. On the first of these days a raft of his pontoons, consisting of four demi-canoes, put together in pairs by deck and keel lashings, so as to form two decked boots similar to canoes, and covered with the usual superstructure of balks, chesses, anchors, and other stores, after taking on board, at the gun-wharf, Chatham, a 32-pounder on its travelling carriage, weighing rather more than four tons, manned by Lieut. Phillips, R.E., with six men to row, a_ser geant to steer, and a few spare men, attended and assisted by two cutters, put off from these for the purpose of landing the gun on the beach at Upnor ; nut the swell occasioned by a strong easterly wind .washed over the decks and filled the canoes with water, which sank on their reaching the Upnor shore where the gun was landed. The water was the partly pumped, and partly baled out by buckets, after takin g off the hatch&, one to each demi-canoe. They then got under weigh again, and reached the pontoon basin, near St. Mary's Creek. in readiness for next morning's operation, leaving the gun on shore with its wheels embedded in mud. Next morning, having secured the wooden plugs of the pump holes on the deck:4 of the demi-cauoes, which had been loose the day before, and made everything watertight as was supposed, Lieut. Phil lips took another gun and carriage of the same cali bre on board the raft, and rowed up to Old Roches ter-bridge, where he moored it at high water slack, in order that it might be exposed to the fury of the half-ebb of one of the strongest spring tides of the season. Owing to a mistake made by Sir Charles himself in his written directions.for the operations of this day, the raft was moored about 30 feet higherthan in any of the numerous experiments on military bridges formed there in the annual pontoon prac tice of the corps, so that as soon as the ebb tide be gan to flow, the water fell perpendicularly down upon the heads of the canoes from which the raft's crew were soon withdrawn ; but as Sir Charles had expressed a wish to be present at the rolling over of the gun, whieh now appeared inevitable, the raft was left to its fate ; but he came too late to witness it. When the gun went to the bottom, some of the woodwork of the superstructure was broken, but the canoes floated, turning over upon their decks with their keels uppermost, and one of them was brought on shore at the landing pkee of the new bridge for his inspection. A single plank of the deck only was fractured ; but with the exception of one small indentation, the copper appeared per fectly sound and uninjured. The woodwork of the superstructure of which two balks only were said to be broken, was oared by the engineers' boats, and deposited in a builder's yard below the new bridges, and the canoes were towed to the pontoon basin the same evening. _ _ _ Had Sir Charles arrived sooner himself be would have prevented this accident by veering out about 20 feet of the upper, and taking in the same length of the lower, cables, bat he was not sorry that the accident happened, as it proved in a most convinc ing manner the superior strength of his new con struction. On taking leave of them, he expressed his entire satisfaction with the means afforded him by Major Hassard commanding, during the absence of Col. Sandham, and the zeal, intelligence, and activity of Lieut. Phillips and the non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers employed on.this occasion, which were such that these difficult and dangerous operations, entirely new to them, were executed without a single man being hurt. Better pontoons he would never wish to have. On Monday the engineers will be employed in getting the gun left at Upnor, and the other sunk at Rochester-bridge, back to the gun-wharf. On Tuesday, the leaks, (if any) in the copper will be repaired, and instead of one large hatch for both compartments of the water-tight partition in each demi-canoe, extending the whole width of the deck, with seams half an inch wide at each end, secured by India rubber in a manner which did not exclude the water, two small square hatches will be formed independent of one another, each having its own pump hole and plug perfectly water tight, both raised a little above the deck, and just sufficient to admit a man to get down into the interior of the demi-canoe. This was the arrangement of the original decked copper canoes of 1819-20, over which the wares caused by high winds and conflicting tides rolled harmless, the restoration of which renders the post ponement for another week necessary, after which Sir Charles will try the same experiments, at old Rochester-bridge that failed on Saturday, with full confidence of success. TIIE LOSS OF THE CURLEW. Captain Charlewood, R N., and Commander Robertson, R.N., the officers who were appointed to institute an inquiry into the loss of H. M. revenue cutter Curlew, presented the following report on Saturday " Board of Trade, Miy 9. " Sir,—ln pursuance of the directions of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Capt. Cherie wood, R.N., on hehalf of the Admiralty, and Comman der Robertson, R.N., on behalf of the Board of Trade, hold an inquiry yesterday, the Bth inst., at the Privy Council office, into the occa-ion and circumstances at tending the sinking of the Coastguard. cruiser Curlew, near the Mouse lightvessel, at about 1 a.m. on the 23d ult., and the loss of the master and six men, one only (Michael Hawkins) being saved out Oa crew of eight in number, including the master. " After a careful consideration of the evidence adduced on the inquiry (a copy of which is annexed), we beg to report that in our opinion the loss of the Coastguard cutter is entirely attributable to the n eglect 0.12 the part of the master of that vessel in no t taking the precaution of exhibiting a light, in accordance with the Admiralty regulations, which require that all sailing vessels at an chor in roadsteads or fairways shall be bound to exhibit between sunset and sunrise a constant br'ght light at the masthead.' " We exonerate the master, officers, and crew of the Belgian steamer from all blame, as every necessary p re . caution appears to have been taken by them under the circumstances, the master, mate, and one man being on the lookout on the bridge, and one man on the lookout on the forecastle, the vessel proceeding at a reduced speed. "The night, although so dark as to prevent a vessel of the size of the Curlew being seen until within a few yards of her, was nevertheless sufficiently clear for lights to be visible at least three miles off. "The conduct of the captain, officers, and crew of the Scout, coastguard cutter, which was at anchor near the Curlew, and also of those of the Baren Osy, appears de serving of praise, for the prompt manner in which they sent their boats to the aid of the clew of the wrecked vessel.—We have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servants, " T. CHARLEWOOD. " R. ROBERTSON. " To the Secretary of the Marine Department of the Board of Trade." It is with deep regret we record tae very serious ill ness of the Duke of Devonshire. His grace is at present at Chiswick, and his malady is so obstinate and severe that his large circle of relations and friends begin to have the gravest apprehensions. The Duke's med cal attend ant has had to sit up all night with him on more than one Occasion latily.—Court Journal. FAL. The mail steamer Tyuemon from the.

With r•-igard to tie present crop, 85,000 tons had been shipp. - d, and there re mained about 20,000 tons. In the prices of sugar there had been an adyaneA3 of 25c., caused rather by the low rates of freitoat, the rate of exchange more favourable for purchaser. 4, and the scarcity of sugar, than by the late news received from Europe. The French ship Minerva, from Calcutta for. Havre, put into Ascension leaky, and had discharged a considerable porfon of her cargo t ) render her safe for the passage ho.ne. The Tynemouth re ceived 490 chests of indigo from her to London. We take the following suminaly of Cape re a from the Cape Argus of the 11th of March :—. " The attention of the colonists is at this moment, and has been for the last six weeks past, directed to the un. settled state of Caffreland. All feel very anxious, but none seem to comprehend the real meaning of recent events. That some apprehension is felt by the Governor there can be no doubt, for he has postponed the opening of the Parliamentary s .ion from the 26th March to the 2d April, Our correspi dent on the frontier write , and appalling accouo, of rnurlefs znd eat Capt. Ohlsen, of the German Legion, was tonna muLuerea - the week before last, about half a wile freak the-villaga which Sir G 6 Grey bad built for - the pensioners,wbo were to have come out. He had been stationed there with a portion of the Germans, and . had left the village at abort half-past 8 in the morning, inteir'ing to visit Fort, Mur- ray. The body bore several assegai wounds, one severing the jugular vein, while a deep gash, inflicted apparently by an axe, or some such weapon, crossed the skull dia gonally; his clothes were much torn, and his sword watch, and revolver taken. An inquest was held.Pand tb e jury considered that he bad been murdered by Kr.firs, of which there can be no doubt.. A herdsman was found killed about the same time, and his oxen taken. The leader of an ox-waggon was stabbed through the hand. while resisting Kafirs who attempted to steal his oxen. A. private of the 89th has also been butchered by Kafirs at East London, and the men of the regiment who were at hand executed summary punishment on the Kafir kraal. They burnt out the savages and chased them out of the town. There have been several fights between tha Kafirs themselves ; they st-al from each other as well :14 from the whites. There appears to be no combination among them, but how soon there may be it is difficult to say. "The Governor io on the frontier, and is doing all in .his power to avert war. "Our border relations continue altogether very unsa tisfactory. The state of affairs in the Orange Free State excites great apprehension, and the results of the niit chievous and absurd policy which carried out the aban donment of that country are now beginning to be felt. The 3 years of the convention with Sir G. Clerk, by whirls the rights and liberties of about 500 English residents were, to a certain extent, secured, having expired, the President Boshof, has lost no time in developing those anti-English prejudices which first exhibited themselves in the prosecution and murder of Mr. Csx. But he has hitherto been foiled in his attempt to crush his English subjects, who, by the way, are still tritish subjects ; the Yolksraad, which he fondly hoped he had purged of all opponents to bis measures, have had the good feeling and courage to reject one of the two obnoxious ordi nances which he presented to it. Public opinion is much divided in the State—all the more respectable por tion of the community being anxious for the return of the British Government to the country, and its senses, as well as its duties. But the most important subject of dispute is the boundary line between the Free State and Moshesh, paramount chief of the Basutos, which must end in involving both the Free State and this colony in the horrors of war, if British interference is withheld. The adjustment of this question was one of the duties Sir George Clerk was sent here to perform, but which he neglected. Moshesh is exceeding y anxious to avert war, for which he is, however, thoroughly prepared, and con:lilies with all the demands made upon him in the way of rest , ,ration for cattle stolen by his people. He it, howevel, quite open to reason and conviction, and to. ceedingly anxious that the governor of this colony should arbitrate between him and Boshof. As this is a question involving duties and responsibilities whisk the British Government formerly took upon itself, and in which it has already done a great deal more harm than good, it is to be hoped that its attention may be again attracted to it with happier results before it be tea late. To add to the complication of affairs, Pretorius, President of the Trans-Vaal Republic, has formally made a demand for the country, alleging that it is his by right of conquest, and exhibiting a letter from Sir George Clerk, said to strengthen his claim, but the contents of which have not transpired. "The affairs of the col my are certainly brightening ; the wine growers are busy, and are realisiog handsome profits. Attention has been directed to the manufac ture of our wine, and we are 'glad to hear that the home consumer will shortly find them•much improved. White wines are fetching 121. per pipe ; there are no pontacs in the market. A few new ones are just coming in, but they, are not fit to ship. The vinta g es a re exce ll ent ; growers have not room to store their wines. "The commercial body at the Exchange published their report last week, and by it we are informed of the imnroved position of the colony, as shown in the in• creased exports. "The exports for 1856 exceeded in value those of the preceding year by 269,7861., notwithstanding that those of 1855 were far in excess of any former year. This in crease is most conspicuous in wool, although there are other articles which have materially aided in making up the amount. Those which have principally contributed to this result are, wool, 197,012/. ; wine, 25,277/. ; cop. per ore, 23,412/. ; skins, &c., 18,4581. ; hides, 16,6931.; total, 280,852/. • while in grain, flour, and bran there was a decrease o f 6,4611. " The imports exceeded those of 1855 by 412,9041. ; the tonnage of vessels entered inwards, 22,093 tons; and the Cust ms duties, by 42,2771. "The Exchange Co w minittee, in making these returns, expressed their confident belief that the trade of the colony was never in a sounder state than at present, and that the accession to our frontier population by the location there of a portion i.f the British German Legion gives goo. ground for hope that our prospective progress will be still greater. "The gross imports of 1856 amounted to 1,588,393/., and the gross ,experts, the produce of the colony, to 1,240,625/. "The chief subjects mentioned for the consideration of Parliament are radwar, immigration, and the report of the Er gineer to the Admiralty, relative to making Table Bay a harbour of refuge. Sir G. Grey is determined to get a vote in favour of railways if possible. He has re ceived petitions from several districts in the Western Province soliciting his assistance in this matter. He has promised to do all he can. He has sent out the civil en gineer to survey several lines, and persons have been placed near the tell-gates outside Cape Town to make re tarns of the traffic to and from the city. We suffer greatly from the want of statistics of this kind. His be lieved that a majority of the members of both houses are in favour of railways, and that Sir George will succeed in getting the vote he desires. "Some measure for the encouragementef immigration will no doubt be carried during the ensuing session. The opposition offered laSt session will hardly be persevered sub t j b e a c t t the have d e in, for the r.n:on that the vri,tie of the country people wholaredil f a r : o f t s f expressed avour.

He declared that the agricultural interest demanded that a scheme of im• migration should be carried out. This has been echoed and re-echoed over and over again in various parts of the colony. "From Albert we learn that the wool season has corn- menced in that district in earnest, and a large number of bales have already reached Burghersdorp. The wool season will be larger this year than the preceding ono. The wool-washersre busy washing, and there is every probability of their being fully employed for the next three months." Further THE CHINESE W Alt " paprs " relating to the proceedings of our naval forces at Canton were publishe 1 en Saturday by order of Parliament, to whom they wee lately presented by Royal command. The correspondeno (principally between Sir J. Bowring and the Earl of Cla rendon) extends from the 27th December, 1856, to the 28th ult. We may quote the following significant passage from Sir J. Bo wring's despatch to the Foreign-office of the 28th February. 1857 (No. 18 of the series) :—." I have the comfort of believing , " w rites Sir John," .. that notwithstanding the lone?, privation., sufferinge, and disquietudes which these events have produced, there exists an almost un aoimity of opinion among her Ma• jesty's subjects in Cbil la as to the opportunity and nece;.. city of the measures tb.at have been taken, and a convic tion that the crisis which has occurred was an inevitable one, while the counc ils of the Canton authorities were directed by such intolai able pride, presumption, faith. lessuesa, an d i g norance as they have so long exhibited. And it has greatly added to my gratification to know that the representatives of ,foreign powers in China have generally concurred in approving the course which has been pursued. Indeed, I m ay safely say that I have rather had to struggle against demsn4s for more violent and de structive measures than to tear censure for that) which have been wiop ed. It has been throughout my desire, and that of the Admiral, to snare as much as possible the innocent and unoffeodin. b people of Canton ; but I grieve to say the ferocious and barl ,arous element disposed to avail itself of means however atrocious and savage, ie widely spread among the ben :e population of that place.",
