This Company is established with a view to afford the pub- Re increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers, specio,'and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and the ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, &c. A traffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered bitd-with the Eastern Counties , Railway Company on advan tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera tion of the authorities of the Dutch Rhenish Railway Com pany, and the other inland navigatiou and railway establish• Inents in 1 - tolland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica tion,_as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the s Peedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods that they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to the fullest possible extent. The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway, and its port is the most convenient for direct communication between London and all the great seaports in Holland and Ite lgiura, and thence to the northern and central parts of the continent of Europe Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Dutsh-Rhenish Railway, will effect a !airing of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com pletion without a break. The harbour of Harwich is safe, commodious, and easy of access in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of the Humber. ! 3 Y the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and "'Pays of the intricate navigation of the Elwin and the mouth of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time la effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 to 11 hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by Rarwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as per tabular statement, and thus the former must become the direct route of postal communication.

The primary object of this Company is to give a steady and continuous suppY of water throughout the year, for which there is an unlimite demand, to the miners engaged hi this, one of the most valuable and thickly-settled districts of the whole State of California. The reports of two English gentlemen who were deputed at different periods to investigate the merits of the enterprise, together- with a map of the district and detailed information by'which au estimate can be formed of the extraordinary prospects of this undertaking, are• published in a pamphlet, and may be had at the offices of the Company. It may be sufficient here to state that the lowest - dividend estimated by these-gentlemeu, after-ranking liberal allowance for contingencies, exeeedi 50 per cent, per annum on the en tire capit 1. An agent, however, selected by the Board, will be imme diately sent out at the expense of the projectors, with in structions to place himself in communication with an influen tial mercantile firm at San Francisco, and in conjunction with them strictly to investigate all matters connected with the undertaking If the result of such investigation shall not be entirely sa tisfactory to the Directors, the whole amouht of the subscrip tions will be returned to the subscribers without deduction. The Californian projectors are to be paid for their rights and interests in shares Clas4 B, which shares are not to be entitled to dividend for three years, unless 2t) per cent. per annum shall have been paid to the shareholders Class A. Application for shares, in the usual form, must be accom panied by • the banker's receipt for a sum equal to 11. for every share applied for.

Offices-2, Austinfriars, Old Broad -street, This Company is formed for the purpose of supplying, a source whence the occupiers of land can at all times obtain a supply of those articles perfectly pure and unadulterated, of which the retjuirements of modern improvement are con stantly increasing the demand ; and also for the purpose of establishing a commodious depot, where agricultural imple ments of every description, by all the best millers, can at all times be inspected and purchased. The Company will import and supply at fair and reasonable prices genuine manures of all kinds, seeds, oilcake, and all other articles used in the feeding of live stock, and for agri cultural purposes generally. The Directors have been appointed sole consignees for the sale of the Javel guano, both in the United Kingdom a,.(1 the Colonies. This right has been secured by contract, for a term of 2lyears, with the Javel Manure Company in France. The qualities of this manure are such as to have raised the de mand in France to so great a magnitude as to afford reason able expectation of its general adoption in this country, where, in every instance in which it has been tried, it has given unqualified satisfaction. This manure, manufactured .by a patent process, from the contents of the cesspools and blood of he slaughter-houses (abbatoirs) of Paris, cembines within itself all the good quali ties of every description of manure, and will be supplied at about one half the cost of Peruvian guano (which it fully equals), with a guarantee that each parcel contains a certain amount of fertilising ingredients. There can be no doubt of the remunerative result of the operations of this Company, every branch thereof affording sources of large profits. The only establishment of a like nature in the United Kingdom, the Aberdeen Commercial Company, conducted on similar principles, bas stood the test of many years as to its usefulness, and yielded large returns to its shareholders for their investments, the 201. shares be ing now worth 1201. Applications for Shares may be made at the offices of the Company, or to the broker or solicitors ; from whom full prospectuses, testimonials, and any other information can be obtained. All applications for Shares must be accompanied by a pay ment of ss. per share to the bankers, broker, solicitors, or at the offices of the Company. In the event of less than the whole number applied for being allotted, the amount paid in excess will be appropriated towards the remaining pay ment of 15s. per share ; if no allotment be made, the amount paid will be immediately returned in full.

Some time ago we mentioned that the Income-tax Commissioners at Shields had refused to allow insur ance upon shipping on the mutual principle as de duction from income, while they permitted insurance by policy to be taken from the ship's earnings untaxei. A lengthened correspondence has taken place between the North Shields Shipowners' Society and the Board of Inland Revenue on the subject, and on Saturday Messrs. Lietch and Kewney, the solicitors to the society, received the following letter, which settled the point : " Inland T3tvenue, Somerset-house, Jan. 22. " Gentlemen—l have laid before the B ,, ard of Inland Revenue your letter of the 27th ult., referring to the cerre=pondence which has passed between this office and Mr. Pow, chairman of the Shipowners' Society, at North Shields, in regard to the deduction claimed by the shipowners in estimating their profit for assess ment to the income tax of the 81.11313 paid by them under the circumstances explained in your letter as against the perils of the sea. In reply I have to state that, upon a reconsideration of the subject, the Board are of opinion that, although the insurance in question and the payments consequent were not made in the ordinary way, yet inasmuch as such payments were in discharge of a legal obligation, whereby the parties are protected from loss of their own ships, a deduction should be allowed of the average amount paid in the three years over which the profits are averaged. The Board have accordingly made a communication to this effect to the commissioners of the district, and also to the surveyor.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, THOMAS KEOGH."

OMNIBUSES V. RAILWAYS. —The Manchester City Omnibus Company started aline of eight omnibuses be tween tba:, city and Stockport yesterday, to run daily, in akin eo g napetition with the London and Nort h-Western 1 " - ' 1 way. The speculation been under consideration nefore, h u t t h e i mme di ate cause o f the present under is au attotnpt made this year by the railway com pany to compel the holders of contract tickets to get into and leave the carriages only at the termini specified in the contracts. Hitherto a contractor paying the whole distance between the two towns held himselt at liberty to get up or down at any intermediate stopping station. The omnibuses are handsome, spcious, and comfortable, the inside being equal to most first-class railway accommodation, while the fare is only two-thirds, t h eomnibus fare i ns id e b e i ng 6d . f or s i x m il es , whilst the charge by railway, fiat class, is 9.1. The second-class railwayfreias6di.s; 4d. a T and third-reaiila-:ay,4d. ; whilst the omnibus transit is much more rapid, but as the stations in both towns are some dis tauce from the centres of business, the omnibuses have an advantage by running to those points, which gives them neatly an equality in point of time. The omni buses are drown by three horses abreast, but it is probable that if the loads are heavy four horses will be used, es in the old cAches. A VISIT TO TITS TYkL (From, a Corre3pondenlof the Dxi ly itieios On Sunday last t being at Wareham, in Dorsetshire, I drove through the island of Purbeck, to see the stranded Tyne: 'After passing several miles along the Swanage road" I turned off towards Encombe, the seat of Lord Eldon. The hills are of great height here, and grouped curiously together. Two of the ravines formed between them lire of right angles to each other. The road to Eneombe is through these ravines; awl runs in a zigzag direction. As we approach the mansion towanis the sea the ravine widens and forms a narrow vale, whiehis about 'lOO feet above the sea. The road terminates at an abrupt precipice of the height just mentioned, and iron rails are placed to prevent persons from falling over the precipice. At the distance of half a mile from the termination of the road, in the centre of Kimmeridge Bay, lies the finest steamer of the West Indian Company, aground and waterlogged. I arrived about one o'clock in the afternoon. The wind was blowing strong off the land, and it was low water. It almost appeared as if she had teen only brought into the bay at high water, and as if the tide had left her there, and she would float again as son as the tide rose, and be ready to proceed to sea. , There was no rock close to her, and the ledge on which she struck was invisible. Her head was pointed out to sea, her stern was rather low in the water compared with her bow, and she rather lurched oa one side. Jtist as I arrived at Kimmeridge Bay a swan tug steamer was . seon leaving the Tyne to proceed to South ampton ; "several boats also left the Tyne for the shore filled with people, and the gigantic steamer was abandoned. The Tyne struck on a jagged lodge, which tore a hole in her stern big enough for four men to crawl in. There is about 3 feet of water under her stari4Nreivaddle-wheel, and 5 feet under her bow. About 100 feet of her keel for ward does not touch the ground. She evidently struck in the centre, for she was going in direct towards the cliffs when she struck, and after all attempts to wear her round had failed got into the position she is in now in au extra ordinary manner ; for without any apparent cause she turned round rapidly, as if she had been on a pirot. If she is ever floated again, she will have to be dragged astern towards the land, to get her off the ledge on which she rests, and then she must be piloted through an intricate shannel. Some scores of men commenced working a, !arge number of pumps on board of her at 2 o'clock on Sunday morning; and when it was found that at ebb tide the water flowed into her as fast as it was pumped out, her being got off wes despaiied of. Early in the morning the pumping ceased,' and it was resolved to abandon her for the present. A couple of young officers, with one or two men, were left on board, and they together with some fishermen have the solo charge of her. If she is ever got off it will be probably by lifting her bodily, waterlogged as she is, by means of balks of timber or some other buoyant material fastened by a chain round her keel, and in that state the ship and the materials that float her must be towed up to Southampton. It is not likely,. however, that any plan will be attempted until the summer. The Tyne being of iron, very strongly built, waterlogged and fastened down by immense anchors and chains, would hang' ogether for years where she is now. The coast where the mail steamer lies is all along formed of cliffs from 500 to 700 feet high. Sometimes the faces of these cliffs are perpendicular, and of a black colour, which is the case with those near the Tyne. Sometimes they slope away, and they are green with verdure. The cliffs are constantly crumbling away, and small particles pr gigantic, boulders are continually rolling down on the beach. Springs of water at short intervals also run down the faces of • the cliffs, and mixing with the softer and smaller particles form bogs of black mud close under the cliffs. The beach generally is formed of gravel, gigantic pebbles, or small rocks. Chapman's Cove, not far from where the steamer is aground, is strewed with these rocks, and it is fortunate that the Tyne did notconad in there, or the ship would have probably been knocked to pieces, and every soul on board of her lost. Between St. Aldan's Head and Weymouth the distance is about 14 miles. The cliffs between these two places pro ject out at intervals and form bays._ St. Alitan's Head and the first projection to the west of it towards Weymouth fromainameridge Bay ; and in the centre of this bay, as I have already observed, the Tyne is lying. The Isle of Portland, which lies directly off Weymouth, is distinctly visible from the bay, and appears to be a very short distance from it. The Isle of Portland stretches a good distance into the Channel, while Kin3meridge lies in shore, to the north eat of it. The Tyne was about eight miles outside Port land when the Portland lights were made out at 1 a.m. on the 12th inst. ; and at 3.30 a.m. the steamer was entering :Kimmeriage Bay with her, baw pointing for tha cliff.. Now the most mysterious thing is how she could get there, unless she was steered direct for the land after the Portland lights were seen. Just before the ship struck the officer at the wheel, to his horror, faintly made out the fearful black cliffs overhanging the bay ; and his cry of " hard a port" as tonished the captain, who thought at first that a vessel was crossing before the ship's course. It was so foggy on the morning of tho 12th at Ki mmeridge and St. Aldan's Head that none of the coast-guardsmen who were on duty there saw the Ty no en t er th e bay; and the howling of the wind and the raging of the sea drowned every noise on board her that might have been heard on shore in still weather. The first intimation the coast guardsmen had of the Tyno being in the bay was given by the rocket sig nals of distress that were fired from her. The light of these fearful messengers at the moment of their discharge sho wed the coast-guardsmen that a large ship was close at hand, and in dangerous quarters. They immediately fired off pistols, threw up r ockets, and ran to the houses of their messmates who were off duty, and at 7 a.m. the seamen had pulled through the raging surf, boarded the steamer, and satisfied all on board that with patience and care their lives would all be saved. For, twelve hours these men were hard at work saving the lives and property on board the ship, and never left off until all the passengers and crew had been landed. The boats were often swamped ; one of their number lost his life, and they repeatedly had to assist the ship's boats to prevent their destruction. The lot of these poor men is a peculiarly hard one. Many of them live on the top of St. Allan's Head, in a remote and almost inaccessible place. They have 50'. a year to live upon. Most of them have night duties, during which they are out from sunset to sunrise, c li m bing up and down the most dangerous cliffs in the dark, and often having dread ful weather. A clergyman occasionally visits them from Worth, a small isolated village two miles off. These men have to pay 40s. a ton for coals, in one of the bleakest places in England ; and they actually hay to send, at their own expense, for their monthly pay to Poole, which is 14 miles off. Their dwellings are alms st at the edge of the perpendicular cliff called St. Aldan's Head, which is 640 feet above the sea. There is no fence around the cliff, and once, about 16 years ago, a little child fell over, and was dashed to pieces. There are no pumps provided for the use of these poor mon and their families, and they are obliged to drink rain water. They cannot afford the slightest comfort or stimu lant to support them in their trying and laborious duties. They have to send a distance of seven miles for a doctor in case of sickness. The most valuable portion of the mails, and the boxes of diamonds and gold, were landed in the greatest confusion at Chapman's Cove, and had to be carried over steep cliffs a distance of two miles, to Encombe, by the coast-guards men, but pot a single box or bag was lost. About 180 tons of machinery has been got out of the Tyne, but there aro a hundred tons of coals on board of her, which cannot be got at, From St. Aldan's Head the ship appears as though she were at anchor in the bay, and could proceed to sea if the steam were up. Her keel, it has been discovered, is twisted ; and some are of opinion that, although only the large hole in the stern has been discovered by the divers, yet the jagged teeth of the rocks have ented her bottom, and that, if she were dragged away from the rocks, she would sink directly. Officers and men have been living and sleeping on board her ever since she struck, and during some days and nights they could have no communication with the shore, in consequence of ba d weather. It is the opinion of the coast guardsmen that no o n e o ught to re main on board of her at ni g ht. It was precisely :3.40 a.m. when the ship struck. Num bers of persons on board were thrown out of their bed. The passengers, ladies and gentlemen, ran on deck in their night clothes, and for the moment there was great con fusion, but the captain commanded order, and every officer and man was at the duty assigned him in such an emer gency. Directly she struck her boilers were lifted, water rushed into the ship, and the engines were useless. The Tyne was such a splendid sea-boat that she scarcely ever shipped a sea, and she was able to carry the largest cargo of any of the Royal Mail Packet Company's steamers. It is expected that the Board of Trade inquiry into her loss will commence immediately at Southampton. This inquiry is looked forward to with the greatest interest. THE LATE RUSSIAN PRISONERS. —Mr. H. Rautenfield, late secretary to brr . Majesty's war prison, writes to the Sussex Express :—" Sir,--A few days ago I bad the plea sure of receiving a letter from rilr. Okerman, dated Abo, Finland, in which he wishes me to make known his best thanks and greetings, added to those of his comrades in captivity, to all their friends in Lewes and its vicinity, in whose families they so continually met with the kind liest hospitality. Mr. Okerman tells me that he bas seen nearly all his compatriots. who had been with him in Lewes, and that each inesp,aks with the most grateful recollection of their s , ijo . una in En g l an d. As for himself, I may quote the following passage from his letter : When in the dusk of the evening I am sitting near thy fireside, surrounde d b y m y family, to whom, thanks t o P rovi d en ce, lam restored , I often relate to the m m y life among my English friends, and th e e xertions they made to alleviate the irksomenes s of my captivity and separation from them.

In the account of the opening of this line for traffic which appeared in The Sun of yesterday it was stated that the line had been completed within the engineer's estimate of 8,0001. per mile. Mi. J. Samuel, the engi neer states that the cost of the line, including land, works, stations, permanent way, sidings, law, engineer ing, and Parliamentary expenses, the electric telegraph, and, in fact, every item from its commencement to its opening for traffic, bee not exceeded, 6,8001. per mile. Considering that the lino, which is seven miles in length, embraces 180,000 cubic yards of excavations, two over and four under road bridges, two parish road bridges, nine river bridges ; one of which, over the river Towy, is of 150 feet clear span, and that all the bridges are either of wrought iron, cast iron, or masonry, end that the per manent way is aid in a substantial manner, with rails of 701 b. to the yard, he thinks it must bs admit•ed to be one of the cheapest lines ever, made in this country. With regard to the Vale of Towy line, which will con nect Llandilo Llandovery, and form the first link . in the main line from Manchester to Milford, he states that the works on it are now in an advanced state, anti will be completed for less than 5,5001. per mile.

If, however, the addition which she now supplies is true—and there is no rea=on at present to dispel eve it—the villany of her husband seems to be of a deeper dye than the dreadful offeece of cutting the throats of his poor infant children had made it. Mrs. Bacon now says that it was after destroying the lite of the younger child that her husband attacked her ; and not only attempted to cut her throat, but inflicted save ral scars on it. She repeats that she got hold of him by the wrist of the right hand, in which he held the knife, with both her hands, and thus prevented him from reach ing her throat. She further states that, as soon as her husband could release himself from her held, he drew a rope from his pocket and threw it rmnct her neck, endeavouring to prevent her making a noise, and forcing her on the bed rushed out of the room. In confirmation of her assertion on this point it is a positive fact that, when taken to Horsemonger-lane Gaul on the Tuesday evening (the following day) the matron of that prison distinctly noticed a livid mark round the neck such as would be produced by a rope or some hard ligature tied tightly round it, and it struck her to be of SO singular a character as to induce her to call the attention of the prison surgeon to it. The first day of his confinement in Horsemonger-lane Gaol Bacon appeared in so frantic and dejected a state of mind that his fellow-prisoners were under the strong impression that he intended to make a confession, but the next day he became more composed, and has since gained much confidence. He takes much pains to impress on all those about him that he is innocent of the charge alleged against him by his wife, and expresses a strong hope and expectation , that at the next examination he will be set at liberty. The wish expressed by Mr. Elliott, at the last examination of the prisoners, of having the body of Mrs. Bacon, sen., exhumed, that it might be submitted to a thorough medical and surgical examination, was forwarded to the authorities at Stain ford, but a difficulty appeared to present itself in carrying out the magistrate's wishes in the matter. Mrs. Bacon appears to have been interred in the parish church of Great Casterton, Rutlandshire, and therefore beyond the jurisdiction of the authorities at Stamford. Ni,- positive information bad yesterday reached Inspector Young or the magistrate, Mr. Elliott, on the subject but should any serious difficulty present itself it is in tended at once to apply to the Secretary of Suite for the Home Department for an order for the immediate ex humation and examination of the body. In a paragraph which appeared on this subject in this paper on Friday last, it was stated that, five days before the illness of his mother, and which illness terminat ed in her death in seven days, Bacon had purchased an ounce of arseidc at the shop of Mr. Patterson, a druggis , , in the town of Stamford. In the Stamford Mercury of last Friday's date will be found the following confirmation of that fact : "It has been clearly ascertained that, a few days before his mother's death, Bacon purchased half an ounce of arsenic at the shop of Mr. Patterson, drug gist, of Red Lion-square. He had previously made attempts to procure arsenic on pretence that he wanted it in his trade, but was unable to do so When he applied to Mr. Patterson he was told that poison could not be sold without a witness. He then went out, and an Mr. William Clifton, plumber, waspassing , be called him in. The arsenic was therefore delivered to him, and an entry of the fact was made in Mr. Patterson'e book, which was signed by Bacon and attested by Mr. Clifton. That was on the Bth of May, 1855. On Sunday, the 13th, Bacon's mother dined with him. On her return home she was taken ill, and on the Tuesday following she died. No esspicion as to the real cause of her death wee entertained at the time, but it is said that subse quently Bacon's wife, during her insanity, let fall ob• servatiuns which gave rise to the accusation. The full confirmation of the recent news from China imparted additional firmness to the tea m arket yesterday morning, and several thousand chests were disposed of at ls. lid. and ls. lid., at which latter quotation there were ultimately sellers. A good inquiry prevailed for other descriptions, and higher prices were offered, but holders were indisposed to realise. [ PRICE 4D. S rAMPE.L, SD. SPORTING NOTES. THE DERBY HORSES. Having .xlismissed the favourites in my two preCeding comumnicatiOn§,' only the outsiders now demand con e id ErAtii.n. Lady Hawthorne made her first appearance at York with a high repu'ation, which she fully sustained. She . tliErrUcTiated Blink Bonny and Augury, but the betting indicates that her achievement was net deemed a trustworthy test of the comparative merit of her and the present reigning Derby favourite. Lady Hawthorne a fine, strapping mare, with good action and much speed. A question, hoWever, as to the possibility of her standing training has teen started, and perhaps not withoutjust cause. Her forelegs seemed to be anything but satisfactory; she may, nevertheless, have grown out of any weakness which then prevailed. Should she keep firm, and he sent to the post in good condition, she will prove a dangerous antagonist to Blink Bonny. By the way, the favourite has within .the last few days been somewhat unsteady in the market, and some persons assert, from recent observation, that she has neither grown nor thickened since last autumn. Anton will doubtless be a starter. He is alight fiA , hy 'horse, and hig performances are not sufficiently pronsislng to induce me to entertain any expectations of his chance. Sprig of Shillelagh was once loudly talked about, and it was stated with confidence that he would one day "do a good thing." When, lam incapable of deter mining ; of this; however, I feel certain, the good thing which ho will do will not be on the Derby day. Glentnasson has fine looks and the prestige of two successes to recommend him. His achievements were certainly not of a very high order of excellence, still they were sufficient to show that he possessed much racing merit, which time would in all probability fully develope. His trainer is very " fond" of him, and his partiality is shared to a great extent by the horse's backers. Sam Rogers has, it is stayed, already received a retaining fee to ride Glenmasson for the Derby. .Ack worth is a dark horse, in William Day's stables. Report speaks most favourably of the horse's appearance and style of gob g. Kent is another "darkie," and in well-informed quarters it is believed that he will one day occupy a very prominent position in the bet lug. :Henry VIII. won a Setting Race at Cue Bibury Club Meeting. and has not since shown in public. He has been backed by his noble owner, but unless there be more in the horse than has yet met the eye, I shall not indulge in a Derby-day dream of his success. Adamas is a little game horse, but not "class enough" for a. Derby.- The other outsiders do not require notice. On a careful review of the performances of the different animals, I hare arrived at the conviction that the most trustworthy Derby horses at proent are—THE BEST OF 4r. HOWARD'S (perhaps Goldfinch), Tournament, Saunterer, Gleumasson, and Sydney. The ardour of the Mincepie supporters for the Chester Cup seems to have cooled down. Leamington still hold- his ground. I may take some credit to myself on the qrrectness of my judgment, for those horses which I indicated in dry notes of Tuesday last as being well in occupy the foremost place in the betting. My opinions ; in fact, have been endorsed by the public. The police were "down upon" the West-end betting offices last week, and their interference has spread quite a paui.: among the proprietors of those houses. To attempt to stern the current of speculation which will so6on set in in all directions will be as vain as good Mrs. Partingtou's efforts to step an inundation of the sea viiith a mop. A certain portion of the publio will specu late upon horse racing, and will adopt many expedients to can./ out their purpose in full security. Jan. 26. A FRESH MAN. TATTERSALL'S—MONDA.Y. The room was somewhat thinly . attended, and busi ness ruled extremely dull. Although the investments were not remarkably heavy, yet certain movements of iimportance 'were made. CHESTER Cur.—When the weights were first pub lished Mincepie was supported with considerable spirit. A reaction, however, set in against her at the end of last week, and to-day 20 to 1 was offered, and no attempt was made to arrest her downward tendency. Learning. ton was nominally at 100 to 7, but no transaction about him came under our notice. Schiedam was in good de mand. In the City during the morning he had been backed for some money ; early in the afternoon 40 t n 1 was laid, hut at the close of business he was advanced to 1,000 to 30 i Two THOUSAND.—Schiedam was in request for this event also, and was made first favourite. At first 600 100 was taken about him, but ultimately a g. , ,0d sum was invested in his favour at 5 to 1 ; 600 to 100 sac against Schiedam and Vedette was laid in one bet. 11 to 2 was wanted about Loyola. 750 to 100 was the last bet booked about Sydney. THE DERBY. —The retrogression of Mink Bonny to 13 to 1, offered, was the most important incident. V Kent was advanced to 40 to 1, and a fresh " outsider," called Sweet William, was introduced with some force at 1,000 to 15. The Liverpool Steeplechase was not mentioned. CLOSING PRICES.

It will be recollected that on the former occasion when a dividend was declared and paid at the South Sea douse, a car;plaint was made that the arrangements were inadequate—that creditors were only admitted a few at a tune, and hundreds were exposed for several hours to the inclemency of the weather. These precau tions were taken by Mr. James Johnstone, jun., the ciessenger, who was afraid that improper characters might be admitted u t s he , : t ,, li ap o .a u r s lt a ioc n clu d , r oa or o loy f l .a d s e u p pi o to s n i w t depositors shs the pre. : i i .a il i t i ) y we k d n t e o w ni n a t k h e a a t there inises ; and, further, that such a lane and clamorous assembly could not pr operly be attended to by th e f ew clerks who were present.

AN ASSESSOR OMITTING TO TAX lIIMSELIP.-3 1 r. Thomas Hopkins, farmer, of Hawbridee, was summoned before the Venerable Archdeacon Timbrill and other county magistrates, at Tev•vkesury, on the 15th inst., charged, on the information of Mr. Sells, surveyor of taxes fur this district, with making a false return of articles kept by him chargeable with assessed taxes. Mr. Sells raid lklr. Hopkins had neglected to assess him self for two horses and a spring cart. Mr. Hopkins, who is the assessor of taxes for the parish of Tirley, had made a return of ins horse and ens dog, but he found he had two horses and a spring cart, of which he had made no retrrn. Mr. Sells remarked that it was a very serious offence, fir on 'Mr. Hopkins commencing his duties as an assessor, he had taken an oath that he had duly assessed ail parties liable, and, after making the assessment, had sworn to ha%ing made a true return ; but Government only pi osecuted for the penalty to which he was liable—namely, 201. Mr. Sells then called Messrs. Richard Ruck and Benjamin Ball, who clearly , roved the case against the defendant. Mr. Hopkins pleaded that if he had rrn lered himself liable to the penalty it was not intentional on his part, but through inadvertence. The chairman said the magnitrates felt that they should not be doing their duty if they initieted the penalty to less 101., and 21. is. 6d. costs.--- Q kiten. icon Jourxal. 2 ,/,7Zysi •• ♦ 1 Naval and Military Int l I I ,a`ara - P - . 14 - a-e'ete t 4e. e . .

Tee Industry steern store-ship arrived at Portsmouth on Sunday front the Thames, with machinery for the Dladern, eec. The Bcffalo steam-vessel arrived at Spithead on Sun• day frern the westward, and sailed in the evening for the Thames A very unpleasant occurrence took place yesterday at Portsmouth. A man who has only been 195 data in the Royal Marine Artillery Corp, had been confined several times for bee conduct, incurred a debt of Bs. for slops he had "taken up"; this sun the captain of his company said should be pet against his account on the books of the c rps, whereupon the man used au insulting expression, ant said he would do no more soldie'ring until he was paid ; this led to a court-martial last Friday, which sajuged him to receive 50 lashes yesterday. On his being taken towards the place of punishment under escort he broke away from his guards and rushed upon Colonel Parke (the commandant of the corps) as he was stooping to pick up a paper he had dropped, and gave him a tremendous blow in the face, knocking him to the ground and cutting him in the face very severely. The wan was err edilyoverpowercd and led to the halberds, e here the 50 lash , s were inflicted. He will now be tried for sinking the Colonel, which will be rather a more -erous of ir than the flogging. The paddle-wheel steam-vessel Sprightly, tender to the Viciory, in charge of blaster-Commander arrived at Woolwich from Portsmouth on Saturday, bringing a number of supernumerary seamen, who were yesterday morning distributed on board the gun-boate Hunter, Handy, Garnet, and Fenella for conveyance to Portsmouth. Tee Hunter is commanded by Second- Master Sallenger, the Handy by Secend-Master Witts, the Garnet by Second-Master Follett, and the Fenella by Second-Master Moore. Tney are manned vii h a crew of 28 men each. Tee Dee, steam store-ship, Master-Commander J.

Tao iron paddle-wheel steam-yes-el Princess Alice (tender to the St. Jean d'Acre) left Woolwich yesterday • morning in charge of Captain Smithett and a crew of the Royal Mail-packet Company's servicemen for Dover, - having been gratuitously placed at the disposal of the 'company for service between Dover and Calais. The Dreadnought, hospital-ship for seamen of all nations, having been completely prepared for removal, was towed out of the harbour at 12 o'clock this day by the stearn-vessels , Monkey, Widgeon, and a private steam-tug, and conveyed to Greenwich, where she was safely moored in the river, alongside the old Dread nought, which is unfit fir further service. The arrange ments for the removal of the huge vessel were carried out in au excellent manner by Mr:Macdonald, master-at arms, and Mr. Peaks, assistant master shipwright in the establishment, and she was piloted up the river by Mr. Stewart. The patients from the old Dreadnought will be removed to the new vessel in a few days, and now that the two vessels are in close proximity to each other, the superiority of the new hospital is strikingly apparent. Some time since it was determined to present a life boat to the Cailian Government, as an acknowledgment of services rendered to the crew of a British vessel in dis trees. Mr. Peake assistant master shipwright at this establishment, prepared a plan for the construction of a life-boat on a very improved principle, and this vessel gassing been completed, arrived here tfis afternoon from the premises of the contractors. She will be subjected to amid, if approved, forwarded to her destination.

A number of Russian and other guns, loaded for action in the Crimea, and brought home in that state, have been ordered to be dischareet These guns, amounting to -oreut 300, and varying in calibre, are being fired at the oroof butt in Woolwich Arsenal, averaging from 10 to 15 daily. A. necV kind of pumping and fire engine, made under the direction of Mes-ra. Rennie and See, having been ordered by the Lords of the Admiralty for the use of the dockyard, Wooiwich, was yesterday subjected to a first trial under the inspection of Mr. Atherton, superintend ing engineer of the yard, assisted by Mr. Tripling and ether members of the depertment. The principal object tor which the new engine is about to be purchased is for draining the caisons at the monh of the basins, as well to use in case of fire. The peculiarity of the engine is its very small dimension. The system le that of the disc, and the engine drives a pump at the average rate of about 300 revolutions per minute. The diameter of the engine itself is only 13 in.; its height, together with the framework and carriage, is, firt., and GIL in length, the whole of which, together with the boiler, weighs only two tons. The pump wrs driven at the rate of from 300 to 400 strokes per minute, and answered the expectations formed as to its capability admirably. The facility of transporting the engine while under the action of per forming its ordinary revolutions renders it available in any spot required without stopping the machinery. It 'NM estimated that toe coluinu of eater projected during the trial to the height of from 120 to 130 feet was a, the rate of 30 tons per hour. The power of the engine has been tested with a friction break, and proved to be that of about six horses. fished Jan. 26, at 10 a.m. Ago st lb The Potter a 9 6 King Dan a 9 6 The Bruiser Midge The Rejected a 9 6 Merry Andrew a 9 6 Romeo Nraid of the West a 9 6 Albatross The Gipsy King 6 9 6 Sting (h b) 6 9 6 Emulator The Serf a 9 4 The Rover a 9 4 Lady Arthur a 9 4 Zig Z4g a 9 4 Waterfall Flarry Lorrequer 6 9 4 Little Yeoman Siding Fearless 5 9 5 b g by Bowstring —Faith -a 9 2 Maurice Daley Omer Pacha (h b) 9 2 Teddestey H u mboldt ....... 6 9 0 Saud boy 5 9 0 Treachery First of May 5 9 0 Weathercock 6 8 12 The Blind Harper a 8 10 Conrad Westminster .. a 810 5 8 10 THE LONDON RACING INDICATOR, now ready, contains Not,ls on the Derby, and Hints on the Chester Cup, by Chifney.
