The following resolution was adopted with acclamation :—"That in the opinion of this meeting the income tax ought to be immediately, totally, and uncon• ditionally repealed, because it is unjustly levied, inqiusi torial in character, and oppressive in amount." A. vestry meeting of the parishioners of Mile-end was also held last night, at the Town-house, and a similar resolution was agreed to. A public meeting was held in the Town-hall, Ken. dal, o n M on d ay last, John Whit well, EN., mayor, pre. siding, when resolutions were passed unanimously against the further continuation of the impost. A numerous and highly influential meeting was held on Tuesday at Warwick, for the purpose of opposing the present mode of levying the income tax. A petition setting forth the present grievances of the impost, and praying its immediate re-adjustment, was unanimously agreed to.

The chair was occupieda by Mr. Davey, who briefly explained the object s oof i c 3 i. meeting, and stated , that as the utmost freedom 8:ion would be allowed, he should be happy to hea'rectuh sentiments of d any elector present. —Mr . Holland (a draughtsman at osupport the Dockyard) urge d u p on th e electors no candidate opposed to t he ballot. In Woolwich they had o a bout one hundred societie s, in whi ch the mode of voting, and alth ou g h the rich adopted th w e a b s allt the to protect themselves ag ainst each other at their clubs, o yet they denied such protection to the poor and indus trious elector. General C odrin g ton had avowe d himself as an opponent, not only to the ballet, but to any ex tension of the franchise, and therefore if the present Ministry brought in a new reform bill the General was bound to oppose it. Was such a man fit to represent the masses of working men at Woolwich ? 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. The motion was carried by acclamation.—Deputy -Commissary General Darling at some length eulogised the character of General Codrington, whom the speaker hed served under in the Crimea ; but he avowed that his opinion was opposed t, that of the General on the question of the ballot. — Addresses in favour of reform and progress were delivered by Messrs. Keegan, Ripely, Slowan, and others, and a resolution was unanimously carried, to the effect that General Codrington, being opposed to these principles, was unfit to represent the borough. i• . . .• . . ~--- -, - -- ----_i .., , .

The Tyne, as we stated yesterday, is one of the strongest of the company's fleet, and her value was about 80,0001. The company's vessels are not insured, a reserve fund for the purpose being set apart from a portion of earnings. Sh,uld the attempts to recover this noble vessel fail, as there is strong reason to fear they will, this will make the ninth steamship the company have lost since their formation--viz., the Medina, wrecked on Turk's Island ; the Isis, foundered off Bermuda; the Solway, lost off the coast of Spain ; the Acta in, on the Spanish Main ; the Tweed, on the Alacrahe's rocks, in the Gulf of Mexico ; the Forth, on the same rocks ; the Amazon, burnt at sea ; the Tay, wrecked on Cape It ‘xo, in the Gulf of Mexico ; and no s the Tyne, off St. Alban's Head. In addition to these, one of their small schooners was lost, and the Demerara, built at Bristol, it will be remembered, broke her back in going down the Severn, before she was out of the builder's hands. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 15, 1857. TITL BALLOT IN AUSTILLLIA. TO TYIB EDITOR. OF Tllli SUN. Sir,—May I ask you to insert the encl•sed reply to the Times 7—l am, &c. F. HSNBY F. BERKELEY. Victoria square, Jan. 14, 1857. TO TIIH EDITOR OF THE TIMER. 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 is of an other colony where it is not established, and which 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 some extracts 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. (Front 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. (Front the Melbourne 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 voting may be considered to have proved itself as successful as it certainly has in its political aspect. With only very few exceptions the demoralising intrigues which are 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 (Front the Melbourne Argus, Sept. 24.) As we visited the various polling booths in succession it was impossible to avoid being struck with the quiet decorum, amounting almost to silence, which 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 perfectb n, and that nothing could be more unexceptionable than the manner in which the public functionories appeared to discharge their duties. So far the ballot must be pronounced decidedly suc cessful in Victoria. Not a syllable was breathed throagh 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. (Front the Melbourne Argus, Sept. 27.) Ono 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 pronounea 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 ballothas materially decreased canvassing, bribery, acid 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 electoral system by this very simple process, while 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 properties o f the se O for vo m te o s r . e than names one) r e e t a h t i e s d n o u n m t b h e e r roll rep ( a 19,299 were recorded. Probably eaeh candid ate had s ome r :sae qualified 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 that in his division one elector only had not voted, a thing probably unprece dented in election annals. In fact there is no use mincing matters. Tho 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 one 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 se. 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. (From 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, Hobart 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 systera of electioneering. GREAT ACCESSION CP FORTIINE.—A man named Goodall, who works at Messrs. Barrett, Exall, and Co.'s iron foundry, at Reading, has, with two others, just come in fora sum of 100,0001., under a decree oithe Court of Chancery, in equal shares. He was almost beside himself with joy on hearing the news. rHE I.DINBIIRGH ACADEMY AND THE BISHOP OP 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 Terror. Mr. Russell was in the chair. The Lord Advocate, Lord Deas, :sir 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, offericg " 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 useful career." On the motion of the Rev. Dr. Grant, it was resolved that the bishop should be requested to sit fur his portrait. It was stated that he had been one of the first and most distinguished 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 PRIIDENCR.—The Siede contains the following :—On Dec. 2V last a town in the north of France was suite 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 rather than of love. All the questions of interest bad been carefully attended 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 followed, the whole being terminated 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 mte s hvwyeed r absencel d o eu widowhoodar death h s h i e next x t end make my own.

This sequestrated nook of the south-west coast has become the scene of very painful excitement within the last is v hours, consequent upon the stranding of the Tyne, Capt. Valley, 2,184 tons, one of the finest sad 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 be neath the cliffs, and not nore than 400 yards from the shore in this bay. 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 atmssphere. 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 manner in which the voyage had been so far performed. The weather continuing very thick, and the captain's reckoning showing that the ship was entering the Channel, before 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, bad the watch up to midnight, at which hour he asked Captain Valler whethir he Amid remain on deck during the next watch. Captain Valler said, as be 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. E. At ten minutes after two o'clock they bore N.N.W. 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 toe lead which was kept going every two hours. At 40 minutes past 3 o'clock the weather being still thick, and the fog increasing, Captain Yaller 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-port." 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 ouce 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 westerly 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 fora few moments, until Captain Valler, who maintained hispresence of mind ins 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 was not until some moments after she had struck that Captain Yaller 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 Valler used every endeavour to get the ship afloat again. The topsail and foresail were set, and by dint of great exertion the vessel's head 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 the ledge where she had struck, and all attempts to move her failed. It is believed that, but fur the bursting of one of the steam pipes at the critical moment Capt. Valler gave the order to oGo ahead," by which the engines were rendered powerless, the ship would have floated. The signals of distress having bees 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 gallant 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, after several at tempts, Bath succeeded in climbing up the ship's side. His counsel was most useful at this moment. Captain Valler, 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 cubing 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 Lieut. Fuge, R. 21., Admiralty agent in charge o f th e mails, was the first to go ashore. lie was accompanied by Capt. Otway, R.N., 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 the mails into their boat, and after clearing the ship made their way some distance along the coast, landing about nine o'clock at Claapman'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 ea route for London. As the tide flowed the sea rose and made complete breaches over the ship, notwithstanding which, the crow, encouraged by Capt. Yeller, worked waefully in getting up hawsers and preparing to put out anchors. Intelligence of the catastrophe having spread rapidly on shore, many hundreds of country people flocked to the coast. Anioag tke earliest to be informed was Mr. Ferrer, uncle and resident guardian of the young Earl of Eldon, who happened to be at Encombe, the family seat, which is not more than a wile from the spot where the ship struck. Mr. Ferrer immedi atel y addressed a letter to Capt. Yeller, offering all the accommodation which Encombe would afford to himself and the passen gers when they could get ashore. Elie letter he de spatched by two brothers named Tatehell, boatmen in the service of the family, who, after conveying their boat round a point of the coast which it would have been impossible to weather afloat, launched themselves off the teach of Encombe Bay, and g allantly rowed out to the ship. This boat was the next to return, conveying ashore Dr. Acland, the celebrated Oxford physician, and another of the passengers, both of whom proceeded on to Encombe. At 11 o'clock, a six-oared galley arid a four-oared gig, belonging to the coast-guard men stationed at Kiiums 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, all hands being cast adrift. The boats belonging to the Tyne, and lying off that ship in readiness to convey her passengers ashore, ot 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 a y s us t Ps h ua r e la lady (el sy d i frnom ue s e o n Bo ü b f e o \n a lu r rs d L e y s r i e d i es e s w t h Ai t e hm s te t hre American a a e n r d e ; ho s s u l u r children n n a e t ; barkation of passengers was co mmenced. Ther e were 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 th a t throughout the long and trying period which they were compelled to remain on board, from the moment the ship struck until they were takes 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 Eacombe or to Mr. Jackson's residence, and forwarded therefrom to Ware ham. At half-past 4 a'clock Capt. Valle: had a consultation with Mr. White, the first officer, and Mr. Sapsley, the chief engineer, as to the propriety of landing the crew. It was considered, 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 aterupost 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 ere to laleavinguded 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 conveyed, in charge and landed on the beach , the captain being the last over the ship ' s the ship all the specie a of the purser, to Encombe , whither the crew anandser vants also proceeded, many of them in a very exhausted nd jewels a i de . wel o n Previously board state from long exposure to the cold, without refresh ment of any kind. Before Capt. Yeller 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 comsany, might be on board, he awaited the vessel's approach, and shortly after five o'clock that gallant officer landed iu a small boat which put off from the steamer. As the sea was running higb, Captain Vincent agreed with Captain Valler that it would not be prudent to go on board last 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. Ferrer 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 rut their own table, and the comfortable housing for the night of nearly 200 men, were paned over as a matter ot duty ; but it ia proper to record that the services they rendered on this melancholy occasion were highly appreciated by the re cipients of their bounty, and we are quite sure 1 - . hey wi'l be clu:y estimated by the community, of which they have proved themselves such admirable members. 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 Bankes, elder sister of the family, who is married to the Rev. Mr. Bankes, rector of Corfe Castle, emulated her noble sisters in 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. e n egrTst The passengers we e erf eorm Dr.erformer, w cb iyan h h d came Mis r presenceEo d n ix to a r E do efosc, mindo tu a n b d e w Aai i n t r h d. ,j rrt u h°,eA lg tom m atfil' ent, was of great service to the captain front the moment the ship struck, rendering much assistance in disembarking his felloa.passengers, and calming the fears of those who were most alarmed. The list of officers included Capt. Vincent, R.N., Capt. Yeller, 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 Devas 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 ou 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 almost to a man, and, with few excep 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 fortunately brought round 60 bands 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 he 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 E,ls, the Prince, the Conway, 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 ar.d 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.

This is the last entry made on the log slate. It may appear unnecessary to publish certificates in favour of an officer of Captain Valler's stauding and ex perience. That such testimonials were always obtained by him is a well known fact. On his last outward voyage he received the annexed, signed by 77 passengers, after a voyage of some difficulty : " At Sea, Dec. 1, 1856. " Dear Sir,—We, the undersigned passengers, before leaving the noble ship under your command, avail our selves of this occasion to thank you most warmly for the great kindness and gentlemanly attentions received at your hands during the present prosperous and rapid voyage, due, under Providence, to your skilful and sailor-like management ; and, should the opportunity ever again offer of our making a passage with you, we feel assured that our treatment will be equally as good as that we have now experienced. Wishing you every prosperity and happiness, we are, dear sir, yours very sincerely, (Signed by 77 passengers.) "Captain William Valler, B. M. Steamer Tyne." 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 passage. " 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 unfor.nnate vessel, judging from the scraps of information which have reached us from time to time during the day. A coml• 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 Devast...tion, the paddlebox life boats of which were of great use in keeping up cow. munication between the Tyne and the tugs. From in quiries 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 steam 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, have 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. Wm. Lilley, 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 full 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. Liliey's inquiries as to whereabouts they were, the captain pointed out on th 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 time the ship struck the shock was slight, a second shock much more violent, and then a third not 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 ship threw him forward on his head. The ship was soon in a state of great alarm and confusion—everybody rush. fog on deck, the ladies in their night-dresses in terrible alarm, and the darkness.and gleam 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 bazo being so thick as to prevent them seeing what course to take, and the surf and swell being exceedingly vio 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 theni. 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, an 4 the attempt was not made until the middle of the day when the landing was effected in safety, although one or two of them had an unpleasant immersion by the boats swamping. Mr. Utley Rod au tho root of the patooogero whom _ _ Naval ana Blilftary intelligence. A board of officers has been sitting at Chatham for the purpose of arranging the prices at which the articles sold in the canteens at Chatham and St. Mary's Ber racks shall be sold to the troops, the authorities at the Horse Guards having concluded an arrangement with the proprietors of those establishments for a considerable reduction in the price of the various articles. The Dee arrived at Woolwich yesterday at noon, hav ing experienced a most favourable passage the whole way up. Mr. Taplin, from the engineer's department of Wool wich Dockyard, having been deputed by the Lords of the Admiralty to proceed to Portsmouth bn board the Dee in order to note the progress of Mr. Weathered's ap paratus for superheating steam, fitted on board that yes sel, has confirmed the reports already forwarded to the Admiralty, and has fully corroborated the former state ments detailing the specific amount of economy obtained thereby, without causing the slightest perceptible injury or extra strain to the machinery of the ship. A second invention, the production of a Mr. Lees, for superheat. ing steam, was on Tuesday Drought forward and sub jected to a preliminary trial on beard the steam vessel Water Sprite, during a run of two miles down the river from Erith. The apparatus consists 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 coiled tubes, and, issuine thence red hot, is received 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 in 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 deparments by Commodore J. Shepherd, superintendent of the yard.

RAILWAY INTELLIoBIVC.E. LANCASTER AND CiRLISLE RAILWAY. compspecial general meeting of the proprietors of this any was held on Tuesday, at the Castle Station, Lancaster, for the purpose of considering a proposed application by the company to Parliament, in the ensu ing cession, for a bill for making a railway from the Lancaster and Carlisle railway, in the parish of Kendal, to the (little) North Western, at or near Ingleton, in this West Riding, with a branch therefrom, and for other purposes. E. W. Hassell, E , g., chairman of directors, presided, and there were present the majority of the directors, and an influential body of shareholders. The CHAIRMAN said it had a4ays been the policy of the board of directors to refrain from speculating in any branch line, or other undertakings which might endan ger their own good concern. He assured them that he still adhered most fully to that policy ; but circumstances 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, and that, for the iletence 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 6,11, and concluded by moving a resolution, confirmatory of, and sanctioning the steps which had been taken by the direc tors. H. How.tuDjEsq., deputy chairman seconded the mo tion. _ _ _ B. GARNETT, Esq., 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. GaLLow (Liverpool) heartily approved of the course taken, and he believed that an expenditure of 300,0001., or even 600,000/., 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 CHAIRIUN 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 directors for the attention and ability they displayed in the ma nagement of the company's affairs.

THE LATE MURDER IN CARLOW. The correspondent of Saunders' New Letter sup plies the following particulars of the murder which was perpetrated in Carlow on Saturday night last s " CARLOW, Jan. 18.—In the short electric telegraphic message which I sent you last night of course I was un able to give the particulars of the awful tragedy which has been enacted in this county. From the facts which have been brought to ligtit at the inquest it appears that a farmer named Dyce was transacting some business in Tullow on last Saturday, after which he proceeded home in a cart in company with his brother-irt-law, M. Keeley. When they arrived at Tankardstown Dyce alighted opposite the house of a farmer named. .11‘Lean, with the avowed purpose of lighting his pipe. The door of the dwelling being closed he gave several knocks, whereupon M'Lean's wife inquired who was there. Tire deceased stated his object in seeking admission, which was denied him. Having been repulsed he made use .ot some rude observations towards the woman, and tl Jen pursued his way. M`Lean's wife, as it was elicited, was a person of questionable charaet r felt irdigoant at, the remarks, and went into an adjoining field for the -pur pose of stating her grievance to her husband. Ti os curnstance, it would appear, aroused the worst p assions of the man, as he calie I on his brother to ace a m p as y him for the purpose of avenging the insult. Floth par ties hastened in pursuit of the unfortunate deceased, during which time they armed themselves with dread ful weapons. Having pursued Dyce for a'aout a mile across the fields, tt,ey suddenly pounce .f norm him a, d his companion by leaping over a ditch and be labouring them with the heavy sticks they had provided themselves with. The attacked, having no means of defending themselves, were soon overpowered and dreadfully mangled and injured by their assailants ; poor Dyce only survived a few hetrrs, but Keeley was morel ,rtut,ate, having escaped with a broken head and arm and several of his ribs severely injured. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against the M'Leaus, and the coroner issued his 'warrant for their apprehension. They have left the country, but the police are on their tra.A." SUICIDE BY STRYCHNINE. Mr. J. E. Hyiidman held an inquest yesterday in Coffey's Hotel on the , body of a gentleman named St. George, who was found dead in his bed room that morning. A large quantity of strych nine was found in the room occupied by the de ceased. After the e3u:.mination of sev,:ral witnesses the jury returned a verdict that the deceased com mitted suicide while labouring under temporary ivanity. NEW POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS. It is stated that early in the season the mails for the south of Ireland will be despatched direct from Milford, in South Wales, to Waterford, instead of passing through Dublin as at present. 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. Hi.ATE ASSASSINATION IN PARIS. The ceremony of the purification of the church of St. Etienne-du Mont took place on Tuesday morning, and attracted an immense concourse of spectators. The following was the 'bourse of proceedings : The open space in front of the church was sanded, and in the centre, on a large carpet, was placed a fauteuil for Mgr. de Bonnechose, 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 black drapery. A little before ten, the metropolitan. chapter, led by the archdeacon of Ste. Genevieve, and accompanied by the cures of the diocese and the supe riors, directors, and pupils of the diocesan seminary, left the church of Sc. Genevieve. and proceeded in solemn silence to St. Etiennesdu.Mont. The chapter and the cures were in their full canonicals, with violet stole. A body of the mounted municipal guard and a detachment of the infantry of the same force preceded the pro cessiob, and opened a passage fur 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 not ring out until the eerie menial purification was over, and the altars had 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 his right baud. The ceremony commenced by the spriekhug of holy water. A table, surmounted by a crucifix, a , )d near which was placed a silver vessel ece.tailiing the water, was arranged at the foot o the steps of the principal door of the church. After the Msorere was chanted, and while this was being dons the bishop a minenced tee procession round the church, as-ieted by M. Surat, tie Archileati•di et Genevieve, and Egiee, vicar-genera , and master of Inc ceremonies of Notre Dame. The bishop sprinkled from time to time the exterior of the church with holy water. In this pro ces-ion the bishop was accompanied only by the chapter of Ste. Genevieve and the clergy of St. Etienne-du-Mout, the crowd and the rest of the clergy remaining in their paces. Tue sprieleing of the exterior being finished and the bishop lia,it:g 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 (bore 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 el the litanies was followed by the psalm Exsurgat Deus, and other, 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, add, kneeling, sang three times the Farce, DO2ltine. In the meantime the altars were arranged, and a precession was formed to go for the host and sacred vessels, which hail been placed in a building detached from the church. On their arriv ing they were placed on the principal altar, and a masa was immediately eommenced. The ceremony then ter minated, and the clergy withdrew, the proceedings hav ing lasted from ten o'clock until after %we've. It is pro' able that a wish may exist at the Conrt o Rome to make the public believe that the murderer Verger is insane. It is certain that among several of the fewer orders the crime has produced an effect nn favourable to the clergy, and I have heard of one or two u d e u o s n i LlVerger sv i s said to. priests being insulted inteheesnttrsetehtse.sytnSupeahocyontedlut c fu t, r , u ti n i; Just as it is, proves at all v deceased. ad dres ed to the Emp eror personaly, and which el ; tame .

Verger is b d e ia , t , el L y pA gi r v e e h n ev t e o ci hid e,Mt .ja also said to have left at his late rectory in ti:e diocese of Meaux a sort of testamentary paper, which has been transm itted to the police by the Bishop. The paper s ays,' "J . e 14e mon arise a l'immortalite; mon corps a l a guillotine." (" I bequeath ray soul to immortality, my body t) the guillotine.") The exhibition of the Archbishop's remains was cure tailed by two or three days. The crowds were becoming more numerous each day ; the language was in several cases not at ail edifying ; and the police did not think it advisable to allow the exposition to continue on the Sunday. REOEPTION OF A NUN AT BRIGHTON.—On Wednes day evening the reception of a nun took place in the Roman Catholic church in Upper St. Jaines's•street, in this town. The lady who has taken the veil is a Miss B—, the daughter of an eminent judge, and a recent convert from protestantism. 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 pith gorgeous flowers and wax liglps and a rich uioird antique cover. The novice, who, from her high position, her wealth, kir beauty and accomplisliments, was the cyom-ure c f all eyes, received the " Bridal vt.il of ce , ibity" from the hands of the R,ght Rev. Dr. Grant, Bishop of South wark, who was wsisted on the occasion by the Very Rev. Canon Reardon, the pastor of the palish, and the Rev. Mr. Simpson, a recent cony rs from protestantism . tie church was thronged to e::cess from au early hour by a most respectable and fashionable audience, anxious to witness the interesting at l imposing cer.ni ny. At the crisis, when the novice received the veil at the hands of the hi,hop, and resigned her worldly name for the adopted one of her patron saint, and renounced the world and all its vanities, and as the nuns came l to ems and receive her into the sisterhood, sehverra., les present, including some of the Protestant_C t u burst into tears. The bishop pronounced an exhor a ion. e choir was most effective. Arc litany, com posed by . Mr. —Brtglaon Lowe, the organist, was Quorcition. g tly admired. ~~t~ 7` -. ----,
