He concluded by proposing a resolution, pledging the meeting not to support any candidate who would not vote for the ballot and an extension of the suffrage.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING ; JANUARY 15, 1857. TIIL BALLOT IN AUSTB,iLIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUE. Sir,—May I ask you to insert the enclosed reply to the Timrs ?—I am, &c. F. HENRY F. BERKELEY. Victoria square, Jan. 14, 1857. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln your paper of yesterday, under the head " The Ballot in Australia," you quote an article in a paper pub lished in Adelaide (South Australia), where the ballot is not established, the writer of which states his opinion that the ballot has failed in the adjoining colony of Victoria. You have no doubt received, though you have not quoted, the Melbourne papers which report, the facts of the recent elections by ballot in Victoria. It is a curious way of informing your readers on matters of fact to withhold the evidence from the colony in which the ballot is at work, and to quote from the press of an other colony where it is not established, and which is a jea lous rival of Victoria and its institutions. So far from the ballot having failed in Victoria, the municipal corporation of Melbourne, in consequence of the success of the measure at the parliamentary elections, have resolved on its adop tion in the elections for their own body. I subjoin someextracts from the Melbourne press, which I trust your sense of fairness will lead you to publish. Yours faithfully, F. HENRY F. BERKELEY, Chairman. Offices of the Society for promoting the adoption of the Vote by Ballot, 6, Guildhall-chambers, Basinghall-street, London, Jan. 14, 1857. (From the Melbourne Herald, Sept. 11.) The polling for the central provinces (Melbourne and the suburban districts) came off on the 26th ult., when the ballot was tested for the first time in the colony, and ope rated in a manner which not only satisfied the expectations of its most sanguine advocates, but actually won over as converts some of those who were previously its most deter mined opponents, both in and out of the legislature. _ _ (rrom, th.e Allelbourne Herald, Sept. 27.) To the silent operation of the ballot must undoubtedly be attributed, in a great measure, the freedom from disturb ance and popular turmoil which has characterised the elec. tion proceedings. Viewed in its social aspect, secret ♦oting may be considered to have proved itself as successful as it certainly has in its political aspect. With only very few exceptions the demoralising intrigue& wllieh aro often put in operation at elections have failed to produce those results which, in other times and under a different order of things, would have followed. Even in those instances where indi rect influence was resorted, the efficacy of the ballot was proved by the notoriety which such practices at once ac quired. _ (From the Melbourne Argus, Sept. 24.) As we visited the various polli ng b oo th s i n succession it was impossible to avoid being struck with the quiet decorum, amounting almost to silen ce , w hi c h prevailed at all of them. The police had a sinecure of it during nearly the entire day, and the remark of many was that the ballot, with all its merits, made an election day "barren of incident." An American gentleman, well known to the mercantile com munity, was heard to express himself to the effect that he never saw the ballot work in greater perfecti( n, and that nothing could be more unexceptionable than the manner in which the public functionories appeared to discharge their duties. So far the ballotmust be pronounced decidedly suc cessful in Victoria. Not a syllable was breathed through out the day upon which the smallest reliance could be placed as to the chances of the candidates, and the surmises which were put forth, and they were comparatively few, were qualified by an honest confession of ignorance. (From the Melbourne Argus, Sept. 27.) One of the most interesting features of the recent elections consisted of the experiment made of the ballot as a part of an electoral system based upon a very extended franchise. We are happy to pronounce it brilliantly successful. In almost every instance most hotly contested elections have passed off very peaceably indeed, and the excitement usual in such conflicts has been so far allayed, even in the immediate neighbourhood of the polling booths, as almost to have vanished altogether. Besides this, the ballot has materially decreased canvassing, bribery, and personation, and almost annihilated intimidation and many other forms of undue interference. It has diminished the cost of elections, except in cases of candidates in very desperate need of return, and very unscrupulous in the mode of securing it. Mr. Chap- man, who contested the important suburb of St. Hilda, containing 2,286 electors, stated that his whole electioneer ing expenses would not amount to above 501. And, while good order and quietness have been introduced into our elector a l s y s t em b y thi s very s i mp l e p rocess , w hil e a shield of protection has been accorded to the poorest, weakest, most dependent elector among us, the proportion of votes recorded to the names upon the electoral rolls has been very satisfactory, showing a warm interest in the result, and an absence of all timidity in the expression of political opinion. For Melbourne there are 8,597 electors, each of whom was enabled to record five votes, that being the number of can didates to be elected. Allowing the odd hundreds for names repeated on the roll (as qualified for more properties than one) this number represents 4 ),000 votes. Of these 19,299 were recorded. Probably each candidate had some hundreds of " plumpers," from voters particularly anxious about his election. If we take these at an average of 200 each, we should find 2,000 electors who had foregone their right to four votes each, adding 8,000 to the number pre. viously stated, and representing 27,000 votes recorded, out of 40,000 able to be recorded. Any one acquainted with electioneering at home will bear us out in the assertion that these are very large proportions of actual voters to electors. But as a still more remarkable illustration we may men tion that Mr. Were, one of the returning officers for the Upper House, announced that in his electoral division every elector but fourteen had recorded his vote, and a returning officer in Gips Land stated th a t i n hi s division one elector only had not voted, a thing probably unprece dented in election annals. In fact there is no use mincing matters. The ballot is a perfectly successful mode of secur ing the sense of a constituency in accordance with the spirit of free institutions. And our English readers may rest pretty well assured that any ono who objects to the ballot is beset with a desire to tamper with the votes of those who may be in his power. It is all very well to sur round the sal ject with a great deal of mystery and false argument which have nothing to do with it. But the real question resolves itself into what we have stated, and the friends of the ballot in England should make their arrange. ments accordingly. The ballot here is a brilliant success. ( Front the Geelong Observer.) Thank goodness, the ballot saves the people from much of the annoyance they would have suffered under the old regime. When party malice and individual rancour have done their work, the ballot affords a few minutes for calm reflection and consideration, and in that a few moments' honesty, capacity, usefulness, and character, will have the victory; and, after all, the chances are in favour of the best men. (front Hoba,l Town, Tasmania—(Private Correspondent.) The ballot system has been adopted here, and succeeds admirably, much to the disappointment of certain classes who benefited by the old system of electioneering. GREAT ACCESSION CF FORTUNE. —A man named Goodall, who works at Messrs. Barrett, Exalt, and Co.'s iron foundry, at Reading, has, with two others, just come in for a sum of 100,0001., under a decree of the Court of Chancery, in equal shares. He was almost beside himself with joy on hearing the news. THE EDINBURGH ACADEMY AND THE BISHOP 07 LONDON.--A meeting of the friends and admirers of the Bishop of London, connected now or formerly with the Edinburgh Academy, was held on Monday afternoon in the Hopetoun Rooms, at Edinburgh, for the purpose of congratulating his lordship on his promotion, and re questing him to sit for his portrait, to be hung up in the hall of the Academy as a permanent memorial of his connexion with that institution. Among those present were : Mr. John Russell, P.C.S., the Earl of Southesk, Lord Neaves, Lord Curriehill, and the Right Rev. Bishop Terrot. Mr. Russell was in the chair. The Lord Advocate, Lord Deas, iir W. Gibson Craig, and several other gentlemen, former pupils of the Academy, had also expressed their assent to the proposed testi monial. On the motion of Lord Neaves, a resolution was adopted, offering "respectful and cordial congratu lations to the Lord Bishop of London on his recent elevation to the episcopal bench, an honour well merited not less by his great learning, talents, and industry, than by the worth and excellence of his private character, displayed in a brilliant and iieful career." On the motion of the Rev. Dr. Grant, it was resolved that the bishop should be requested to sit for his portrait. It was stated that he had been one of the first and most d'a , inguished pupils of the Edinburgh Academy, and that he had been most assiduous in the duties of a director of that institution, though a number of years past he had resided at a distance. It was arranged that Mr. James Swinton should be the painter of the portrait. A FRENCH MARRIAGE OF PRUDENCE.—The 8/CCU contains the following :—On Dec. 29 last a town in the north of France was quite en fete on account of the mar riage of Mdlle. Eugenie D—, the only daughter of a ma nufacturer in the neighbourhood, with M. Charles V—, the son of a wealthy merchant of Paris. The marriage was one of prudence and arrangement ratherthan of love. All the questions of interest had been carefully attenued to, bat the point of mutual inclination was totally neglected. Every one seemed gay and happy except the bride. However, the ceremony took place, and a wedding ban quet fcllowed, the whole beingterminated by a ball. The festivities were drawing to a close, when a servant in formed the bridegroom that a gentleman desired to speak with him on a very urgent affair. The bridegroom went out, but did not return for the rest of the evening. The guests, one by one, retired, but the husband still remained absent, and at last, long after midnight, the , bride withdrew to her chamber. There she at once dis covered the cause of her husband's absence, for on a table by the bedside she found a small parcel, and the following note from her husband Madame, if I had no right, in marrying you, to expect a sincere affection, since we were but-little acquainted with each other, I, however, looked for a heart which had never throbbed for another, and which I might by assiduity and tenderness in the end make my own. But a long series of letters from you to another man have just been placed in my hand —letters which prove that if you gave me your hand, your affection has been given to another.

Both the Ladies Scott and the young earl, who is scarcely 10 years of age, were upon 'the beach all yesterday after noon, and the former only left the spot to prepare for the reception of the officers and crew at Encombe. The Lady Charlotte Bankee, elder sister of the family, who is married to the Rev. Mr. Bankes, rector of Corte Castle, emulated her noble sisters is showing attention to all who needed it, and Mr. Bankes' curate, the Rev. Mr. Bradley, and his wife, were sedulous in offering every assistance in their power. Among the passengers who came on to Encombe with the officers were Dr. Acland, Mr. Edwardes, and Mr. Tootal. The former, by his presence of mind and judgment, was of great service to the captain from the moment the ship struck, rendering much assistance in disembarking his fellov .passenger , , and calming the fears of those who were most alarmed. Tee list of officers included Capt. Vincent, R.N., Capt. Valler, Mr. White, Mr. Bray, Mr. Wright, Mr. Bertram, and Mr. Hey, the five principal officers, and Dr. Perceval, the medical gentleman in charge of the ship. During last night her Majesty's steam frigate Deva,;• tation came round from Portsmouth to render assistance. She anchored about 400 yards outside the wreck, where she still remains. At four o'clock this morning Capt. Vincent and Capt. Valler, with the other officers of the ship, went on board and made a close examination of the ship's hull. Capt. Vincent at once determined to erect a bulkhead at the stern of the vessel, within the point where the plates are started. If the weather continues calm, and this can be accomplished, the water can then be pumped out of the ship, and in about three weeks' time, when the spring tides are on, there might exist a chance of floating her. It is feared, however, that, under the most favourable circumstances, the chance is but a remote one. The officers of the Devastation went on board the wreck this morning, and remained some time in consul tation with Capt. Vincent. The crew, on being summoned to go on board this morning, refused aluaest to a man, and, with few excel). tions, they have proceeded to Southampton. Even the joiner of the ship deserted at a moment when his services might have been useful. Capt Vincent fortunarely brought round 61) hands with him, so that the loss of these men will not be seriously felt. The precise cause of the accident is not explained. Capt. Valler attributes it, in the first instance, to the dense state of the atmosphere. He also fears an undue variation may have existed in the compasses, which might have thrown him out in his reckoning. There was, he says, a strong current running to the westward, with a stiff south-west breeze on the bows, added to which the ship, having very little cargo, was extremely light ; and all these circumstances might have combined to produce the disaster, though be says he was perfectly satisfied up to the moment the ship struck that he was steering direct for the Needles. Capt. Valler is a very old officer of the Royal Mail Company, having been in the service nearly 17 years. He was chief officer for two voyages, and has since com manded the Esk, the Prince, the Con .icy, and lastly the Tyne. He is a thorough sailor, and bas risen from be fore the mast. The Brazilian Consul at Liverpool (Mr, Bragah), the Spanish Consul at Madeira, and the American Consul at Pernambuco, were among the passengers. A portion of the specie and jewels were sent on to London last night in charge of the purser. The remain ing and more valuable portion was taken on this evening by Dr. Percival, who was specially requested to take charge of the valuable freight by Captain Vincent. At five o'clock this evening the wreck was sitting per fectly upright between two ledges of rockstone. The weather was calm, and there appeared every probability of its continuing fine. Captain Vincent and Captain Valler, and all the offi cers, will pass the night on board. The following is au extract from the ship's log : Jan. 12. Noon—South-east gales, with small rain.

The subjoined was unanimously voted to Capt. Valler on Monday evening before sighting Portland : " Dear Sir,—We, the undersigned passengers, before leaving the noble ship under your command, feel great pleasure in tendering you our warmest thanks for the kindness and gentlemanly attentions we have uniformly received at your hands, and our appreciation of the nautical skill and ability you have displayed during our " With sincere wishes for your prosperity and hap- piness, we are, dear sir, yours very sincerely." (Signed by 53 passengers.) ANOTHER ACCOUNT. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY. There seems very little hope of saving this unfortunate vessel, judging from the scraps of information which have reached us from tine to time during the day. A consi derable portion of the baggage, however , and a small part of the cargo have been rescued, and arrived here about half-past 4 this afternoon in the Aid steam tug, which left the Tyne about half-past 10 in the morning. There were then five tugs rendering assistance, besides her Majesty's steam frigate Devaststion, the paddlebox life boats of which were of great use in keeping up com munication between the Tyne and the tugs. From in guinea made on board the Aid, we ascertained that there were 2 feet of water in the steamer's saloon at high water, and that the boilers had moved about 6 inches forward when the ship struck and the rteam pipe had also burst. A Coastguardsman was unhappily drowned last night by the swamping of a boat as it was going from the shore to the ship. Part of the crew of the Ori. noco, who had gone down to render assistance, nave re turned in the Aid. The crew of the Tyne came up from Wareham by railway this afternoon. We had the opportunity of a long conversation to-day with one of the Tyne's passengers, Mr. Win. Utley, from America, late United States consul at Pernambuco; and from his explanations we are able to supplement our ac count of yesterday, and correct one or two statements relative to the accident. It was first understood and reported that the steamer ran aground while at lull speed. This gentleman states that the engines were reduced to half speed at 11 o'clock on Monday night, and again at 1 o'clock in the morning to about quarter peed, or perhaps a little more ; in addition to which the vessel was stoped every 2 hours for soundings to be taken. About 1 o'clock he was conversing with Capt. Yeller in hie cabin, and, in answer to Mr. Lilley's inquiries as to whereabouts they were, the captain pointed out on th e chart where they were if his calculations were correct, and he then went on deck, stopped the engines, again took soundings, and found that he was right. The first tune the ship struck the shock wamslight, a second shock much more violent, and then a third nut quite so bad, Mr. Lilley was awoke by a fellow passenger (Dr. Ribeiro) when the ship first struck, and after the third bump he was drawing on his socks, when a lurch of the shin threw him forward on his bead. The ship was soon in a state of great alarm and confusion—everybody rush. ing on deck, the ladies in their night-dresses in terrible alarm, and the darkness and gloc n adding to the terror which prevailed. The bumping of the ship kept on for four hours at least, and began to ease after 8 o'clock in the morning. For an hour atter the Tyne grounded, Mr. Lilley states, nothing could be seen, the night was so thick and hazy. The ladies were on deck wrapped up in blankets. He left the ship in the afternoon, in charge of the ladies in a lifeboat, and came on from Wareham to Southampton last night. When he left the vessel she was making water fast, and the after compartment was filled with water. She was in an upright position, grind ing heavily, and in our informant's opinion, evidently on a rock, making a berth for herself. He believes that if she had been a wooden vessel not a soul would have been saved, as it would have been perfectly useless to attempt to lower a boat before daylight, the hazo being so thick as to prevent them seeii g what course to take, and the surf and swell being exceedingly vin' lent. They fired guns and threw up rockets, but received no answer. When daylight broke they s aw a high bluff land rising up just before them. The captain behaved throughout with the greatest coolness and intrepidity, and was desirous of attempting to land the passengers early in the morning, but a Coast-guard boat which came off remonstrated, and the attempt was not made until the middle of the day when the landing w as effected in safety, although one or two of them had an unpleasant immersion by the beats swamping. Mr Lilley and all the rook of the pggeogero whom _ _ _ _ [Plum! 4D. ► 3TAISIPED si. we have seen speak in the hnhest, tertn,=. of Lord Eldon's praiseworthy conduct in providing for t he corntort of the passengers and crew. His lorasn ip pro vided them witt, food and lodging at his estate, a nil, of ter using every horse and vehicle he had, sent to Wareh am for a coupe of .omnibuses to transfer them from "x e shore to the rail way station. The - Tyne, as we stated yesterday, ji one of th , strongest of the company's fleet, and her value wa. abont 80,0001. The company's vessels are not insured, a reserve fund for the purpose being set apart from a portion of earnings. Should the attempts to recover this noble vessel fail, as there is strong reason to fear they will, this will mace the ninth steamship the company have lost since their formation—viz., the Medina, wrecked on Tur k's Island ; the Isis, foundered off Bermuda ; the Sol w ay, lost off the coast of Spain ; the Actwei, on the Span Ish Main ; the Tweed, on the Alacra►:e's rocks, in tl ►e Gull of Mexico ; the Forth, on the same rocks ; th e Atnazen, burnt at sea ; the Tay, wrecked on Cape R :xo, in the Gulf of Mexico ; and no w the Tyne, off St. Alban's Head. In addition to these, one of their small schooners was lost, and the Demerara, built at Brist , tl, it will be remembered, broke her back in going down, the Sever, before she was out of the builder's bands. TEE ROYAL MAIL PACKET TYNE ASHORE. ENCOMBE, DORSET, WEDNESDAY, This sequestrated nook of the south-west coast, has become the scene of very painful excitement within the last few hours, consequent upon the stranding of the Tyne, Capt. Valler, 2,134 tons, one of the finest and latest built ships belonging to the fleet of the Royal West India Mail Company, which now lies "high and dry" between two ledges of rockstone immediately bc a sat 11 the cliffs, and not nose than 400 yards from the shore in this hay. The Tyne left Lisbon on Friday last, and experienced heavy seas and hazy weather throughout , her homeward run. On Monday it was found impossible to take an observation owing to the dense state of the atmosphere. Soundings were made every two hours, and the results so far agreed with the charts and the supposed course of the ship, that no anxiety was felt on this head. After dinner the passengers, to the number of 53, assembled in the saloon, and passed an unanimous vote of thanks to Capt. Valler for the admirable manncrin which the voyage had been so f ar p er f orme d . Th e wea th er c ontinuing very thick, and the capt a i n ' s rec k on i ng s h o wing that the ship Was enteriog the Ch anne l , b e f ore 6 o 'clock the engines were " slowed" and kept at half speed. At 20 minutes after 11 o'clock the Portland Lights were sighted N.E. and E., supposed distant 15 miles, and the course of the ship was altered to the westward. Mr. White, the chief officer, had the watch up to midnight, at which hour he asked Captain Valler whetht r he ,hould remain on deck during the next watch. Captain Valler said, as he should not himself leave the deck, it would be unneces sary for both to remain, whereupon Mr. White turned in and Mr. Wright and Mr. Hey, the third and fifth officers, succeeded him. At midnight the Portland Lights bore N.E., and at one o'clock on Tuesday morn ing N.N.E. 2 E. At ten minutes after two o'clock they bore N.N.W. 4- W., distant about 8 miles, and half an hour subsequently the lights " dipped." The haze still continuing, Captain Vallerremained on deck, personally directing the course of the ship, and watching the opera tion of the lead which was kept going every two hours. At 40 minutes past 3 o'clock the weather being still " - thick, and the fog ircreasmg, Captain "Waller left the deck for a few moments to examine his chart. He had completed his examination, and was in the act of going from his cabin to the engine-room to desire the engineer on watch to stop the engines until daybreak, when he heard the voice of the third officer calling out, " Hard a-sort." Captain Valler's first impulse was that a vessel might be crossing the ship's course, but hastily running up on to the deck he at once saw breakers on the port bow, and rushing to the engine -room skylight he called out to the engineer to " stop her." Before the engines had ceased oscillating the ship struck heavily forward, and the dreadful truth became apparent that the vessel was ashore. A strong westersy swell was running at this time, and the ship bumped heavily several times. The passengers rushed up on deck in a state of great terror, and all was confusion for a few moments, until Captain Valler, who maintained his presence of mind in a remark able manner, succeeded in persuading them that there was no imminent danger. The position of the ship was at this time unknown, and it wag not until some moments after she had struck that Captain Valler observed looming through the haze the dark outline of the Encombe cliffs, with St. Alban's bluff headland on the starboard bow. The worst apprehensions were now realised, and guns were fired and blue lights sent up as signals of distress to the adjoining coast. Meantime, Captain Yeller used every endeavour to get the ship afloat again. The topsail and foresail were set, and by dint of great exertion the vessel's bead was got round. For a moment there appeared a prospect of her coming off, but although she swung completely round, and got her head to sea, she held fast by her keel on She ledge where she had struck, and all attempts to move her failed. It is believed that, but for the bursting of one of the steam pipes at the critical moment Capt. Yeller gave the order to "Go ahead," by which the engines were rendered powerless, the ship would have floated. The signals of distress having been observed by the coast-guard men of the Hill Bottom station, Bath, the chief boatman, at once launched a cutter and took com mand of a gallett crew, who put off to render what assist ance they could. On nearing the vessel it was found exceedingly difficult to board her, owing to the heavy ground swell which prevailed ; but, atter seve-al at tempts, Bath succeeded in climbing up the ship's side. His counsel was most useful at this moment. Captain Yeller, in order to appease the anxiety of his passengers, who were all desirous to leave the ship, had commenced getting his boats clear, and would probably have made an attempt to put them ashore, had not Bath assured him, from his knowledge of the coast, that it would be impossible to do so with any degree of safety in the then state of the tide, which was ebbing fast, with heavy breakers on shore. The attempt to land was therefore given up, but the life-boats were manned and lowered, and kept in readi. ness, with grapnels down, at a short distance from the ship. Lieut. Fuge, R.N., Admiralty agent in charge of the mails, was the first to go ashore. He was accompanied by Capt. Otway, commander of her Majesty's ship Siren, who was among the passengers in the Tyne. The danger of attempting to leave the ship was fully exemplified by the disembarkation of these gentlemen. Lieut. Fuge sustained some severe contusions, and it is stated that his servant's arm was fractured. They got the light portion of tf e mails into their boat, and after clearing the ship made their way some distance along the coast, landing about nine o'clock at Chapman's Pool, on the Encombe estate, where they were received by Mr. Jackson, bailiff in charge of the young Earl of Eldon's estate, by whom they were forwarded on to the Wareham station of the South-Western Railway en route for London. As the tide flowed the sea rose and made complete breaches over the ship, notwithstanding which, the crew, encouraged by Capt. Valler, worked manfully in getting up hawsers an d p re p ar i ng t o p u t out anchors. Intelligen ce o f t h e ca t as t ro phe having spread rapidly on shore, many hundreds of country people flocked to the coast. Among the earliest i;o be informed was Mr. Farrer, uncle and resident guardian of the young Eari of Eldon, who happened to be at Encombe, the family seat, which is not more than a mile from the spot where the ship struck. Mr. Farrer immediately addressed a letter to Capt. Valler, offering all the accommodation which Encombe would afford to himself and the passen gers when they could get ashore. This letter he de spatched by two brothers named Tatehell, boatmen in the service of the family, who, after conveying their boat rcun'l a point of the coast which it would have been impossible to weather afloat, launched them-‘elves off the each of Encombe Bay, and gallantly rowed out to the ship. This boat was the next to return, conveying ashore Dr. Aciend, the celebrated Oxford physician, and another of the passengers, both of whom proceeded on to Encombe. At 11 o'clock, a six-oared galley and a four-oared gig, belonging to the coast-guard men stationed at Kiaitne ridge, put off to the wreck to render assistance. Before reaching the ship, the four-oared boat was struck by a tremendous cross-sea and swamped, ali hands being cast adrift. The boats belonging to the Tyne, and dying off that ship in readiness to convey her passengers ashore, of once put off to their assistance, and atter much diffi culty three of the men were rescued, but the fourth, William Light, was drowned. This poor fellow has left a widow and one child. After noon the weather moderated, and the disem barkation of passengers was commenced. There were only three ladies on board besides the stewardess—one Spanish lady, from Buenos Ayres, with three children ; Mies Parkes, niece of Mr. Lilley, American consul at Pernambuco, who was also a passenger ; and a Brazilian lady. These, as a matter of course, were sent ashore in the first life-boat ; and it is due to them to state that throughout the long and trying period which they Jeers compelled to remain on board, from the moment the ship struck until they were taken off, their conduct was re• markable for the presence of mind and firmness it exhi bited. The disembarkation of passengers was safely completed during the afternoon, and as fast as they landed they were taken either to Escombe or to Mr. Jackson's residence, and forwarded therefrom to Ware. ham. At half-past 4 a'clock Capt. Valler had a consultation with Mr. White, the first officer, and Mr. Sapsley, the has to the propriety of landi ng th e crew . cltie:•asco engineer, nsidered, under all the circumstances, most advisable that this should be done, as in the event of bad weather coming on during the night it would be difficult to answer for the consequences. In bumping upon the ledge after the vessel struck, she had unship ped her rudder, and injured her sternpost to such an extent that several of the iron plates had started beneath the low water line, and at flood tide the water reached the platform of the engine room. Thus injured, and with a sea breaking over her, the ship would have been scarcely tenable had the weather proved bad; and it was therefore determined to leave her for the night. All hands were piped, and before 5 o'clock 111 souls, com posing the crew and servants of the Tyne, were safely landed on the beach, the captain being the last over the ship's side. Previously to leaving the ship all the specie and jewels on board were landed and conveyed, in charge of the purser, to Encombe, whither the crew and ser vants also proceeded, many of them in a very exhausted state from long exposure to the cold, without refresh ment of any kind. Before Capt. Valley left the beach he observed a small steamer in the offing steering for the bay from the direc tion of Southampton. In the belief that Capt. Vincent, chief superintendent of the company, might be on board, he awaited the ve3sel's approach, and shortly after five o'clock that gallant officer landed in a small boat which put off from the steamer. As the sea was running high, Captain Vincent agreed with Captain Valler that it would not be prudent to go on board Tait night, and he therefore came on with the officers of the Tyne to En combe, where they arrived about six o'clock, and were received by Mr. Farrer and the Ladies Scott with a cor diality most grateful after the exposure and trials they had undergone during the preceding 12 hours. It would probably be more gratifying to the noble young ladies who played so kind and hospitable a part, as well as to their guardian, if the fact of their recep tion of some dozen or fourteen officers at their own table, and the comfortable housing for the night of nearly 200 wen, were passed over matter or duty • but it is Naval )LSO =Mary A board of officers has been sitting at Chatham for the purpose of arranging the prices r it which the articit • sold in the canteens at Chatham a ad St. Mary's Bar racks shall be sold to the troops, the authorities at thr- Horse Guards having concluded an arrangement wit , the proprietors of those establkhm€ ,nts for a considerablt reduction in the price of the variou s articles. The Dee arrived at Woolwich y.istenlay at noon, hav ing experienced a most favourable passage the whole way up. Mr. Taplin, from the engineer's department of Wool with Dockyard, having been deputed by the Lords the Admiralty to proceed to Purtstnotrh on board th.- Dee in order to note the progress c •f Mr. Weathered's ap• paratus for superheating steam, 6.4:.ted on board that ves sel, has confirmed the reports air, early forwarded to the Admiralty, and has fully Corroborated the former state ments detailing the iipesific amount of economy ebtained' thereby, 'without causing - the slight est perceptible inj ary or extra strain to the machinery of the ship. A sec , .nd invention, the prAuction of a Mr. Lees, for superheat. ing steam, was on Tuesday brought forward and sub jected to a preliminary trial on bi.ard the steam vessel Water Sprite, during a run of two miles down the river from Erith. The apparatus COPE ist9 principally of a hydro-caloric engine, by which the steam is first pro duced in a small boiler or generator. It then passes through a second, which is named a " coil boiler," and traverses a coil of 36 circles or coilod tubes, and, issuir: thence red hot, is rec,tived into a third, where it is con densed with water and boiled. It is supplied in that state for the use of the engine. The experiments were highly satisfactory, and were recommended for further trials, as the method, subject to a slight revision, is considered likely to become of considerable importance iu the navi• gation of steamers. Rear-Admiral the Right Hon. Sir M. F. F. Berke ley, K.C.8., and Capt. Sir B Walker, K.C.8., Sur veyor of the Navy, paid an official visit to Woolwich Dockyard yesterday morning, and were accompanied through the various departments by Commodore J.

E. W. Ha3sell, E-q., chairman of directors, presided, and there were present the majority of the directors, and an influential body of shareholders. The CHAIRMAN said it had always been the policy of the board of directors to refrain from speculating in any branch lines or other undertakings which night endan ger their own good coucern. He assured them that lit still adhered most fully to that, policy ; but circumstance:, occasionally arose when the best general rules should be departed from ; and, in the opinion of his brother direc tors and himself, such circumstances had arisen, aro that, for the defence of the line, it was necessary to pur sue the course recommended. He read the circular ad dressed to the shareholders, detailing the reasons which had impelled them to proceed with the present bill, and concluded by moving a resolution, confirmatory of, and sanctioning the steps which had been taken by the direc tGro. H. HowanD,lEsq., deputy chairman seconded the mo tion. H. GARNETT, E q., as one of the largest proprietors, was most happy to agree t the resolution proposed. He believed the directors had taken a wise etep, and he thought they had better leave it in their hands to carry through. (Applause.) Mr. GILLOW (Liverpool) heartily approved of the course taken, and he believed that an expenditure of 300,0001., or even 500,0001., in this new branch would be remune rative. They would also go before Parliament under great advantages, as the committee would know that the Lancashire and Carlisle Company had the ability to carry out their works as soon as the necessary powers were granted. (Applause,) In putting the motion the CHAIRMAN said this branch was forced upon them by the aggressive acts of other companies. The motion WAS unanimously adopted, as well as a vote of thanks to the chairman and board of directurs for the attention and ability they displayed in the ma. nagement of the company's affairs.

In the course of a few weeks all the receiving houses in Dublin will be abolished, with the exception of six, which will be confined to the registering of letters and the issuing of money orders. Iron pillar re ceivers, as in London, are to be substituted for the abolished offices. fife: LATE ASSASSISATION IN PARIS. The ceremony of the purtication of the church of St. liiienue-du M.ht t;.ok placd ou Tuesday morning, and attracted an iuittte3e ci)o.c.,tmo of q:.ctaturs. Toe following was the course of prtice.-(lmg,: Tue :pen space in front of the chuicTi was sanded, and in the centre, on a large carpet, was placed a feuteuil for Mgr. de goanechose, the• Bishop of Evreux; who pre sided at the ceremony. The principal entrance to the building as well as the two side doors were hung with week drapery. A little before ten, the metropolitan chapter, led try the archdeacon of Ste. Genevieve, and accompanied by tile cures of the diocese and the supe riors, directors, and pupils of the diocesan seminary, left the church of St. Genevieve an proceeded in solemn silence to St. Etienne-du-Mont. The chapter and the cures were in their full canonicals, with violet stole. A body of the mounted municipal guard aid a detachment of the infantry of the same force preceded the pro cessiob, and opened a passage for them through the dense crowd. The clergy, on arriving, ranged them selves opposite the principal entrance and along the sides of the open space. At this moment, the bourdon of Notre-Dame was heard, and the ceremony commenced. The bells of St. Etienne did 1.1,t ring out until the cere monial purification was over, and the altars bad been daily prepared for the celebration of mass. The Bishop of Evreux was in his full episcopal dress, wearing the mitre and holding the crosier in bits right hand. The ceremony commenced by the sprinkling of holy water. A table, surmounted by a cruciihx, and near which was placed a silver 'vessel containing the water, was arranged at the foot of the steps of the principal door of the church. After the 11 severe was chanted, awl while this was being dune the bishop commenced the procession round the church, assisted by M. Surat, the Archdeacon to Genevieve, and M. Eg!ee, vicar-general and master 01 the ceretnonies of Notre Dame. The bishop sprinkled from time to time the exterior of the church with holy water. In this pro cts,ion the bishop was accompanied only by the chapter of Ste. Genevieve and the clergy of St. Etienne-du-Mont, the crowd and the rest of the clergy remaining in their places. The sprinkling of the exterior being finished and the bishop having returned to his place opposite the principal door, the chanting of the litanies by the clergy of St. Etienne and the metropolitan chapter on their knees commenced. At that moment the black hang ings at the doors were lifted up and the bishop and others entered the church. The bishop then sprinkled water, salt, ashes, and wine near the threshold. The chanting of the litanies was followed by the psalm Exsurgat Deus, and others prescribed by the ritual. The bishop, accompanied in procession by the clergy, then sprinkled various parts of the interior of the church. The procession stopped at the part of the nave where the crime was committed, and, kneeling, sang three times the Parce, Dwaine. In the meantime the altars were arranged, and a precession was formed to go for the host and sacred vessels, which had been placed in a building detached from the church. On their arriv ing they were placed on the principal altar, and a mass was immediately eommenced. The ceremony then ter minated, and the clergy withdrew, the proceedings hay ing lasted from ten o'clock until after ',welve. It is probable that a wish may exist at the Court o Rome to make the public believe that the murderer Verger is insane. It is certain that among several of' the lower orders the crime has produced an off. c:, un favourable to !,he clergy, and I have heard of one or two priests being insulted in the street s . Suc h conduct, just tine as it is, proves at all events the sympathy fel t f or t h e dec ased. It is reported that a letter was found on V • srger ad tires ed to the Emper.rpersueally, and w hi c h w• g imme diately given to his Majesty. The conctusiou is said to be " L'Arebeveque est perdu, gare a vous," V, rger is also said to have left at his late rectory in t're oiocese of ' rps a la guillotine."

The lady who has taken the veil is a Miss B—, the daughter of an eminent judge, and a recent convert from protestantiem. On such occasions the gor geous and mystically-beautiful ceremony of the Catholie Church comes forth in full development. The precincts of the altar were decorated with wreaths of h‘ lly and ivy, while the altar itself was covered with gorgeous flowers and wax lights and a rich cnoir6 antique cover. Tho novice, who, from her hi,.;h position, her wealth, her beauty and accomplishments, was the cynin.ure of all eyes, received the " Bridal veil of co'ibaey" from the bands of the Rght Rev. Dr. Grant, Bishop of South wark, who was assisted on the ucca,ion by the Very Rev. Canon Reardon, the pastor of the parish, and the Rev. Mr. Simpson, a recent convert from prott•stautism . Too church was thronged to excess from an early hour by a most respectable and fashionable audience, anxious to witness the inter e sti ng an d imposing cercui ny.
