The anxiously expected trial of James Spollen, the railway servant, charged with the brutal murder of Mr. George Samuel Little, in November, last, at the Broadstone terminus, commenced this morning at 10 past 11. Chief Justices Lefroy and Monahan took their seats upon the bench, when the Clerk of th€ Crown directed the prisoner to be produced. He walked up the steps leading to the dock with great deliberation. No visible change has taken place in his exterior except in dress ; the white haragon jacket which he wore hitherto has been ex changed for a n6at blue frock coat. His gaze.sel dom wandered f rom th e b enc h, but when theory were being called he scrutinised each gentleman closely as his name was announced. _ Spollen's counsel exercised the right of challenge to 19 jurors. The Crown set aside five gentlemen. The jury having been impanelled, the Clerk of the Crown gave the prisoner in charge on the in dictment for the murder. The Attorney-General then in an able address, which occupied three hours in the delivery, stated the case for the prosecution. In the course of his speech the learned gentleman called attention to the incidents connected with the draining of the canal and the weapons which would be produced to the jury. The larger of the hammers would be found to have read lead imbedded in the interstices of the wood at the head ; this was the one recovered in the canal. The other had been used by Spollen's children in driving nails and for household pur poses, and they would give evidence to the fact that it had been taken frOm them. It was now smeared with red lead, as if to convey the impression that it was the hammer regularly used by iihe prisoner ; and it has not been in the children's possession since the murder. Alluding to the discovery of the money after the arrest of Spoller, the Attorney-General said that a witness would prove that the dam in the privy could easily be stopped, and whoever placed the money there, if he did not wished to be splashed, would stop the dam ; and this witness would swear that after the murder the dam was out of order frequently on Saturday evenings, that it was stopped by human hands, and that since Spollen's arrest it had not been stopped. A great number of witnesses were examined for the Crown, but the evidence scarcely varied, at least in any material respect, from that given at the police investigation. It is almost doubtful whether the case for the prosecution will be brought to a conclusion before Monday. BALANCE SHEET. OF TED LONDON AND COUNTY BANNING COMPANY, 30Ta Jim, 1857. Dr. £ s. d.

His EXCELLENCY. on r i s i ng t . respond, The toast having bee n d run k w i t h e nthusiasm, and gentlemen, I be g t o re t urn you m y ve ry Mi.' s pond, was loudly cheered. H e sa id—M r. Ch a i rman , drinking my he a lth. I believe as your worthy hearty thanks for the hono ur y ou h ave d one me in kindly chairman has alre a dy hi n t e d , t h at I am probably the first Lord-Lieut enan t o f I re l an d w h o ever ap peared upon this lovely strand. At all events, no Lord-Lieutenant could have come amongst you on an occasion like the present. 'Amidst all the just pride and the stirring hopes which cluster around the work of this week, we ought still to remember that we must spe tk with the modegy of those who begin, and not of those who close, an experiment —(hear)—and it behoves us to remember that the pathway to great achievements has frequently to be hewn out amidst iisks and difficulties, and that preliminary failure is even the law and condition of the ultimate success. (Loud cheers.) Therefore, whatever disappointments may possibly be in store, I must yep insinuate to you that in a cause like _ _ this it would be criminal to feel discouragement. (Cheers). In the very design and endeavour to establish the Atlantic telegraph there is almost enough of glory. It is true if it only be an attempt, there would not be quite enough of profit. I hope that will come too; but there is enough of pub lic spirit, of love of science, fa. our country, for the human race, almost to suffice in themselves. How ever, upon this rocky frontlet of Ireland, at all events to-day, we will presume upon success. We are about either by this sundown, or by to-morrow's dawn, to establish a new material link between the old world and the new. Moral links there - have been—links of race, links of commerce, links of friendship, links of literature, and links of glory ; but this new link, instead of superseding and sup planting the old ones, is to give them a life and an intensity which they never had before. (Cheers.) Highly as I valuethereputatior s of those who have conceived and those who have contributed to carry out this bright design—and I wish that so many of them had not been prevented from.being amongst us at this moment—highly as I estimate their repu tations, yet I do not compliment them with the idea that they are to efface or dim the glory of that Columbus who, when the large vessels in the har bour of Cork yesterday weighed their anchors, did so just on that very day 365 years ago—and set sail upon his glorious enterprise of discovery. They, I say, will not dim or efface his glory, but they are now giving the last finish and consummation to his work. (Cheers.) Hitherto the inhabitants of the two worlds have associated perhaps in the chilling atmosphere of distance with each other—at a sort of bowing distance; but now we can be hand to hand, grasp to grasp, pulse to pulse. (Cheers.) The link which is now to connect us, like the insect in the immortal couplet of our poet, while Exquisitely fine, Feels at each thread, and lives along the line." And we may feel, gentlemen of Ireland, of Eng land, and of America, who may happen to be pre sent, that we may take our stand here upon the extreme rocky ledge of our beloved Ireland—we may, as it were, leave in ourrear behind us the wars, the strifes, and the bloodshed of the elder Europe, and I fear I may say of the elder Asia ; and we may pledge ourselves, weak as our agency may be— imperfect as oar powers may be—inadequate in strict diplomatic form as our credentials may be— yet in the face of the unparalleled circumstances of the place and of the hour—in the immediate neigh bourhood of the mighty vessels whose Appearance may be beautiful on the waters, even as are the feet upon the mountains of those who preach the gos pel of peace—as a homage due to that serene science which often affords higher and holier les sons of harmony and goodwill than the wayward passions of man are always apt to learn—in the face and in the strength of such circumstances let us pledge ourselves to eternal pace between the old world and the new. (Loud cheers.) Why/ gentlemen, what excuse would there be for misun derstanding—what justification could there be for war, when the disarming message, when the full explanation, when the genial and healing counsel may be wafted even across the mighty Atlantic quicker than the sunbeam's path or: the lightning's flash. (Cheers.) 1 feel, gentlemen, that I shall I best embody the sentiments which am sure per vade this entire meeting—the sentiments most akin to this company and this hour, if, aler having drunk the health of the gentle mistress of the British islands, I now call upon you to &ink with conge nial honours to the la.ting friendseip of the British Islands and America, and to the health and welfare of the President of the United States. (Cheers.) The toast having been duly honoured, Dr. PALMER of the Niagara, having been loudly called on, returned thanks for the manner in which the toast had been drunk. He observed that the great work they were inaugurating would form a bond of union between this country and America, and he believed every American WAS most sincerely anxious that the union should be firm and lasting. Every message that passed along the Atlantic tele graph would serve to ce men t the union between the two countries. He cou ld ass ure them, on be half of Captain Hudson and the officers of the Nia gara, that they took the greatest interest in the un dertaking—that nothing would be left undone to promote it, and that they were sincerely anxious for the success and prosperity o f th e company. He trusted he would be permitted t o say, that not the least interesting feature in the day's procee din g s to him was the presence of the nobleman who now administered the affairs of Ireland, and w ho, be might say, was the very first English gent leman who spoke and wrote of the United Sta tes of America with the fidelity of a philosopher and the benevolence of a philanthropist. (Hear, hear.) After several other toasts had been di s posed of, The CHAIRMAN again rose and said that the next toast was " Success to the Cable." (Loud cheers.) He would couple with that t oast th e name of Mr. Brooking, one of the directo rs of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and at the same time he must express the regret which they all felt at the unavoidable absence of Mr. Cyrus Field and other gentlemen connected with the great work which they had met to inaugurate. (Cheers.) It was at one time not easy to drink success to the cable. Its friends not long ago were hoping against hope, and labouring against enormous difficulties. Now they were happy to say that the task, though they accepted the wise senti ment of his Excellency, that they must not be too sure of success, was rapidly approaching completion. Temporary disappointments might occur, yet nobody who considered this ques tion could doubt of its ultimate success. (Hear.) When they remembered that for a temporary purpose—to facilitate the operations of the war with Russia—a submarine telegraph was laid from Varna to the Crimea, a distance about one-fourth of that which is now L e i n g attempted, could any one doubt, when the magnitude of the interests now at stake were considered, that this project too would be successfully carried out ? It was impos sible to exaggerate the importance of this great work, from whatever point of view they regarded it • and its value and wonderful character were so fully appreciated that it was unnecessary for him to dwell at any length upon it. There was one consideration, however, to which he wished to allude. The gentlemen who had undertaken this work had done so in no vile selfiish spirit of money making. They seemed to have undertaken it with a nobler motive. They had looked to those con siderations so well pointed out by his Excellency, and had sought the blessing of Providence on their labours. When this question was discussed amongst its promoters it was laid down that the first mes sage between the two countries should be a mes sage of kindness and amity between the Queen of this country and the President of the United States ; but one of those who had been most active in promoting the unddrtaking said, "Abe first mes sage conveyed by this telegraph ought to be, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good will to men." (Loud cheers.) He gave them, " Success to the cable, and may it be an en during symbol of peace and friendship between the old world and the new. Mr. BROOKING, in returning thanks, said he had the hohour of presiding over the finance committee was brolen.. The complaints were loud and gene ral against the driver of the Great Northern ex press, who must have seen the standing carriages at some distance, and it was declared that he seemed to be taking no notice of his engine. Un -I,si it was that the rails were more slippery from the rain than he had calculated upon, and he was unable to bring up his eiwine in a reasonable dis tance, there can be no doubt he was guilty of gro-s negligence. The matter certainly demands, as we presume it will receive, thorough inquiry. Lady Londeshorough and hor daughter, the Hon. Miss Denison, were among the persons who were injured. The3e ladies were in a carriage than tvas about to be detached for Hull, to which town they were about to proceed to meet Lord Londes borough, and to attend the annual ball of the Hull Regatta. Both Lady Lendesborcugh and her daughter have their faces bruised, and the former received a severe contusion of one of her legs. Both the ladies returned to Lord Loudesborough's seat, Grimston-Park, near Tadcaster, where they were joined the same evening by Lord Londes borough, who on receiving information of the ac cident by electric telegraph took a special train from Hull to Tadcaster. Happily both the ladies are likely to recover, the report as to the state .)f their health from Gritnston-house yesterday (Friday) morning being of a favourable character. any selfish or sinister motive,-but in the hope that, they would establish an honourable fame in en deavourmg to bring together the tw ) greatest countries in the world by a rope male with the magnitude of strength with the minimum of weight. It was exceedingly encouraging to him self to find their motives were thus appreciated ; and he was sure he spoke the sentiments of his colleagues, • of whom there were five or six present, who had come there from a desire to visit Ireland, and pay honour and respect to their distinguished host. The po , sibility of failure had been intimated ; but he thought they bad every reason to auticipata a suceisful result to their labours. All persons engaged in the work were exerting themselves with the utmost. zeal ; and on board the Agamemnon and the Nia gara it was gratifying to perceive that every one, from the highest officer to the lowest boy, seemed to be actuated by but one desire—to do everything in his power to carry,out this great enterprise to completion. The directors of the Great Southern and Western Railway had placid at their disposal carriages and horseq, and done everything to pro mote'their comfort and convenie.ice. The chairman of the junction from Mallow to Killarney had also given them his support, and he was bound to re turn to those gentlemen kis cordial acknowledg ments. They were overcome by Irish hospitality, and he assured them that they had a very serious task to perform in endeavouring to work through it. (Laughter.) It would ill become him to piss unnoticed the name of a man who, whether they succeeded or not, must ever be mentioned with the greateit este3m and gratitude by all connected with that company—he alluded to Sir C. Wood, First Lord of the Admiralty, whose spirit had animated them from the first day until their departure from London. It had even crossed the Channel, and entered into the heart of Admiral Chads, who had stimulated them to further action, and offered them every assistance in bis power. In conclusion, he would express a fervent hope that the New World would be bound to the Old with the cords of man and the bonds of love. (Loud cheers.) On Wednesday, as we have elsewhere announced, _ THE NEW REFORM BILL. (From, the Times.) A week ag) Lord Brougham found an occre sion for delivering a speech on the expected Re form Bill. The ex-member for Yorkshire, the Chancellor of 1830, naturally regards the revival of discussions on the representative system with the half-sympathetic and half-contemptuous feeling which some old Peninsular General may have en tertained when, after 40 years of peace, the Guards embarked for the Dardanelles. The colours are the same, although a third or fourth generation of recruits has taken the place of the seasoned soldiers who crossed the Pyrenees. The veteran sees with pleasure that the interests of his youth are reviving ; but he takes care to remind his younger contempo raries that they are not yet equal to their fathers. The agitation for " the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill" will assuredly not be repro duced in 1858. The hopes and fears which will be excited by any change which may be proposed are comparatively moderate and calm. Lord Brougham's successor will have no occasion to implore the House of Lords on his bonded knees to pass Lord Palmer ston's Reform Bill. The immediate reason for introducing such a measure consists in the fact that it has been re peatedly announced, and that almost all consider able statesmen and a majority of the House of Com mons are pledged to support a change. Lord J. Russell was with difficulty persuaded to withdraw his Bill in the midst of the Russian War, and he is ready at any moment to take the lead of the Re forming party, if the Government shows any want of zeal in the cause. At the general election it was impossible to confine candidates and constituencies t.) the immediate issue between Lord Palmerston and his opponents. In a large number of boroughs Reform was made the test of Liberalism, and the temperate desire for change which is partially enter tained was loudly and universally expressed. The country and its rulers have been led by circum stances to make a kind of compact among them selves, and it would be rash, and scarcely honest, to treat the bargain as a nullity. Communities as well as individuals feel them-elves bound to act up to a resolution when they have once publicly announced it. The business of wise politicians at present is not to thwart the popular demand, but to make use of it for the purpose of strengthening and puri fying the representative system. Lord Brougham need not deprecate the renewal of revolutionary excitement. The Reform Bill of 1831 was a train applied to a powder mine. There is no mass of combustible materials underlying the present posi tion of political society in England. Rotten boroughs, close corporations, corn laws, and navigation laws have -disappeared, and, above all, the suspicion that public evils are to be attri buted to the legislation of a selfish minority has happily become obsolete. - There maybe errors and abuses still to correct, but there is no indignant feeling of disaffection among the great body of the community. The advance of prosperity and of en lightenment in the last quarter of a century has been so visible and rapid that the popular imagination is not forced to employ itself in creating a future Utopia, or in looking back to a fictitious age of gold. Even the most thoroughgoing advocates of organic change demand rather a logical symmetry in the representative system than a machinery adapted to the realisation of extensive social re forms. By a natural consequence, the old spirit of bigoted resistance to improvement has almost dis appeared with the subsidence of revolutionary agi tat ion. There never was a time at which the correction of constitutional irregularities might be more safely undertaken. The difficulty of the Govern ment will consist principally in the absence of enthusiasm for any definite scheme which may be proposed. The measure which obtains the sanc tion of the ablest politicians may perhaps not be calculated to satisfy the popular expectations. The constituencies at the general election probably desired a considerable extension of the suffrage, and it will be necessary to carry out their wishes. On the other hand, all statesmen worthy of the name will be unanimous in resisting proposals for uniformity of representation, The admission of the higher and more enlightened class of non-voters will meet with universal approval ; but it unfor tunately happens tl.at in proportion to any man's rank in society is his indifference to the Parlia mentary franchise. The upper classes must neces sarily form a small minority, and it is not through the influence of their individual votes that they contrive to govern the country. The borough constituencies, especially in the larger towns, are already too homogeneous. Small tradesmen outnumber the more educated portion of the middle classes, while the active and intelli gent artisans - are for the most part excluded from the franchise. If some plan can be devised for enabling the manufacturing operatives to vote, without swamping the remaining bodies of elewors, the economic errors which embody themselves in " unions" and in " strikes" may soon be eradicated by the influence of free disscussion. The Lancashire factory hands might possibly, in the first instance, return a few Socialist demagogues to Parliament, but experience would rapidly convince them of their error ; and the consciousness that they had a voice in the councils of the nation would go far to anticipate their periodical outbreaks of dis content. It must not be forgotten that the total amount of electoral power is necessarily a fixed quantity. Nothing can be given to one class but what is taken away from another. New seats can be created only the disfranchisement of small boroughs. Large additions to existing constitu ences will swamp the present electors. At the time of the Reform Bill it was comparatively easy to transfer power from a score of noblemen to Rom') dozens of counties and of large towns. The elective bodies of the present day are more power ful than the boroughmongers, inasmuch as they occupy a less anomalous position. The disfran chisement of fifty small boroughs would unite seventy or eighty members in opposition to the proamotors of any reform measure. If Lord John Russell's bill had passed a second reading in 1854, it was generally understood that the disfranchising clause would be rejected by a large majority. It may be doubted whether any powerful class is really eager for a specific change. The gentry manage the counties ; the Liberal manufacturers have no rivals in the large towns. The electors in On Tuesday afternoon last a collision took place the minor boroughs can scar cely wish to reduce a the at the Milford Junction station, between Leeds and importance of the suffrage by sharing it with York, on the Not th-Eastern Railway, which might larger number.

Amongst the gentle men present were Lord Russborougb, Mr. F. Howard, the Kinght of Kerry, Lord Dunraven, Mr. Brooking, Sir E. M'Donnell, Mr. Daniel J. O'Connell, Sir W. O'Shaughuessy, Mr. C. Field, one of the principal projectors of the Atlantic cable, Mr. Saward, secretary to the company, Dr. Pal mer, of the Niagara, and Dr. Hamel, member of the Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg, who by direction of the Emperor attended to watch the pro ceedings, and to report upon them to the academy; together with many of the local gentry. The cable having been landed and fixed, one of his Excellency's chaplains read a payer. His Excellency here said—My American, Eng lish, and liish friends, I feel at such a moment as this that no language can be becoming except that of prayer and praise. However, it is allowable to any human lips,.though they have not been speci ally qualified for the office, to raise the ascription of " Glory to God in the highest—on earth peace, and good will to men." (Cheers.) That, I believe, • is the spirit in which this great work has been un dertaken, and it is this reflection that encourages its • me to feel confident hopes of final success. I ("Hear, hear," and loud cheers.) I believe that ' the great undertaking now so happily begun will accomplish many great and noble purposes of trade, of national policy, and of empire. But there is only one view In which I will present it to those whom I have the pleasure to address. You are aware—you must know, some of you from your own experience—that many of your dear friends and near relatives have left their native land to receive hospitable shelter in America. Well, then, I do not expect that all of you can understand the wondrous mechanism by which this great under taking is to be carried on, blit this I think you will all of you understand. If you wished to communi cate some piece of intelligence straightway to your relatives across the wide world of wa'ers—if you wished to tell those whom you know it would in terest in their heart of hearts, of a birth, a mar riage, or, alas, a death, amongst you, the little cord which we have now hauled up to shore will impart that tidings quicker than the flash of the lightning. (Loud cheers.) Let us indeed hope—let us pray, that the hopes of those who have undertaken this great design may be rewarded by its entira success —(cheers)—and let us hope further, that this At lantic cable will only in all future time serve as an emblem of that strong cord of love which I trust will always unite the British Islands to the great continent of America. (Hear.) And join with me in my fervent wish that the great Giver of all Good, who has enabled some of His servants to discern so much of the workings of the mighty laws by which He rules th e un i verse and perva d es each atom in it to accomplish this wonderful work, will further so bless its operations as to make it ever more to serve the high purpose of the good of man and his own great glory. And now, all my friends, as there cin be no project or undertaking which ought not to receive the approba' ion and applause of the people, will you join with me in giving three hearty cheers f, r—(loud cheers.) 'Puree cheers are not enough for me—they are what we give on common occasions—and as it i s f or th e s uccess of the Atlantic tel , graph cable, 1 must have at least one dozen cheers. (Loud and prol naged cheering.) Mr. BROOKI NG , c h a i rmen of the execu ti ve com mittee of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, then presented himself. He said—. After the eloquent and spirit-stirring address of his Excellency, I will not delay you lenger than to acknowledge, on the part of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, our some of the kindness of his Excellency, not only for the great compliment paid to us by his approval arid countenance, but for the trouble and inconvenience he put himself to in coming here to-day to render to us the great and important service of inaugurat ing this event. I beg to propose that three cheers be given for his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant. The proposal was heartily responded to. Mr. CYRUS FIELD, the projector of the Atlantic Telegraph Company was then called upon. He said —I have no words to express the feelings which fill my heart to-night—it beats with love and affection for every man, woman, and child who hears me. I may say, however, that if ever, at the other side of the waters now befora us, any one of you shall present yourselves at my door and say that they took hand or part, even by an approving smile, in our work here to-day, you shall have a true American welcome. (Cheers.) I cannot bind my self to more, and shall merely say, " what God has joined together, let no man put asunder." The Lord Lieutenant and suite, the directors c f the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, and several other gentlemen by whom they were accompanied, then posted to Killarney, where they arrived about three a.m. on Thursday morning. His Excellency returned by special train, leaving Killarney at a quarter to nine o'clock and arriving in Dublin a few minutes after two. —Freeman's Journal. RAILWAY COLLISION.

In consequence of the large number of reinforce ments for the Indian regiments proceeding.. from Chatham great activity prevai's at that garrison. -Sub-divison officers for the recruiting service have been selected from the regiments at Chatham, and forwarded to those stations where recruiting was proceeding previously to all the recruiting parties being called in. The following regimen's are or dered to be augmented—viz., ihe 10th, 23d Welsh Fusiliers, 24th, 29th, 32d, 35 , h, 431 Light Infan try, 52d Light Infantry, 53d, 60th Rifles, 64th, 70th, 74th Highlanders, 75th, 81st, and 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers. Yesterday orders were received at the Provi sional Battalion, Chatham, for the reinforcements for the 82d Regiment, 'consisting of 100 nen-corn missioned pfficers and men, under the command of Lieut. J. A. Brock, to embark for India on board the Ghenzis Khan. The reinforcements f?r the 64th and 86th regiments, under the command of Lieut. T. R. Hamilton and - Lieut. V. G.

Lieut.-Colonel Turner's H troop of Royal Horse Artillery, under orders for India, arrived at head quarters, Woolwich, from Ireland, yesterday even ing. _ The transport Sunderland, from Halifax, has discharged her cargo at Woolwich Arsenal, consist ing of 790 tons of returned stores, and was yester day hauled out to the buoy to wait for nuttier orders. The screw steam transport Balaklava,, in the ser vice of the Militaryp tore Department of Woolwich, arrived at the Arsenal-wharf yesterday from Ports mouth, laden with returned Ordnance stores. In consequence of the heavy demands for the supply of cartridges and ammunition from Wool wich Arsenal for the service of the East India COM pany 150 extra hands were yesterday engaged. for that department. The Defence convict hulk, scuttled about three weeks back off Woolwich Arsenal, in crier to ex tinguish the spontaneous ignition of a large quan tity of coals in the hold of the vessel, still lies waterlogged, in spite of the exertions of upwards of 1100 riggers and shipwrights in constant attendance. Yesterday a couple of steam-tugs— the Monkey and the Widgeon—wre attached, when they succeeded in bringing her about 30 feet inward towards the shore. As the spr;ng tides have commenced setting in another attempt will be made to lift her nearer the wharf, but although partially buoyed up between a couple of heavy barges and crammed with empty casks, the task is still difficult. _ . On parade, on Thursday, as the 20th Regiment was leaving the camp at Aldershot to embark for India, Colour-Sergeant Thomas Peden wai pre sented by Lieutenant-Colonel Everlegh, C. 8., and the officers of the regiment with a very handsome silver teapot, bearing the badges and mottoes of the regiment, and containing a purse with 201. Colonel Everlegh, in addressing Colour-Sergeant Peden, spoke of the exemplary character he had borne during the whole time he had been in the re giment, upwards of 20 years, and of the high con sideration in which be was held by every one in the regiment ; that for some years he had been in charge of the officers' mess, in which position he had been entrusted with large sums of money and the charge of very valuable plate, and that his constant care and attention had contribu' ed much to the comfort of the officers. Colonel Everlegh said he trusted that the pleasure now afforded him of presenting, in the name of the officers of the 20th Regiment, this teitinienial of their regard might be an inducement to tho young men of the regiment to endeavour to follow the ex ample so plainly held before them. Colour-Ser geant Peden was some time since pre euted by the captain of his company with a very Irind4oine silver watch. He is now on the strength of the depot of the regiment. A. squadron of the Ist (King's Dragoon Guards have leftlAldershot for Canterbury, proceeding to India. The other squadrons will follow on the Bth, 10th, and 11th inst.

Vincent King, which left Plymouth, July 1, with ammunition and stores for China, experienced a fine passage to Madeira, where she arrived on the morning of the 15th of July, and sailed in the evening for the Cape of Good Hope. His Netherlands Majesty's steamer Gehdi, 6, Commander Staring, left Plymouth Sound on Thursday afternoon for Madeira, Rio Janeiro, the Cape of Good Hope, and Batavia. At Rio she embarks 25 mutinous merchant seamen for a penal settlement at Batavia. During the stay of the Gehdi at Plymouth her officers visited the Devon port Arsenal and all the public establishments.

Hamilton, midshipman, to the Gauges ; Charles Hobart, naval cadet, to the Chesapeake ; William E. Darwell, naval cadet, to the Ganges ; James T. Hart, master's assistant, to the Sparrow hawk. THE VOYAGE OF THE SHANNON. —A letter from this 51-gun screw frigate, Captain Peel, says : "'We towed Frolic out of False Bay ou the 11th of May. She arrived a t Singapore ou the eve of the 11th of June, all well. In lat 44 30 S, long. 78 E, experienced a terrific thunderstorm. The main royalmast was struck three times by lightning. No damage, and a most terrific sea arose at the same time. Spartan, 26, Captain Sir W. Hoste, Bart., was waiting here for the Racehorse, 14, her relief. She then proceeds to England. None of the other vessels have arrived yet. It is thought some of the troops will be sent to India, if rtquira(l. Lord Elgin and suite embark on the 221, and will live altogether on board of us. Simoorn, screw troop ship, is hourly expected from the Mauritius. She may have been picked up in the Straits and sent to India. She was to have sailed from the Ma uritius eight hours after the Frenchmen."
