This Company is established with a view to afford the pub lic increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers, *Dixie, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and the ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, dm. A traffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan 'Meow; terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera tion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway Com pany, and the other inland navigation and railway establish ments in Holland and Clermany, all of whom aro so convinced of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the speedy 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 Belgium, and thence to the northern and central parts of the continent of Europe. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a saving 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. BY the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time is 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 Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as per tabular statement, and thus the former must become the direct route of postal communication.

Bysome naisappreiension the word was pass ed to spike the gun and retreat; but Mr. Hewett, taking upon himself the responsibility of disregarding theorder, replied that " Such order did not come from Capt..

CECIL WILLIAM BUCKLEY, Commander. —Lord Lyons re ports that—" Whilst serving as junior lieutenant of the Miranda, this officer landed in presence of a superior force, and set fire to the Russian stores at Genitchi;" and " ho also performed a similar desperate service at Tagan• Tog." The first service referred to occurred after shelling of the town of Genitchi, on the 29th May, 1855. After mentioning that the stores were in a very favourable po sition for supplying the Russian army, and that therefore their destruction was of the utmost importance, Captain Lyons writes: " Lieut. C. W. Buckley, Lieut. Hugh T. Burgoyne, and Mr. John Roberts, gunner, volunteered to land alone and fire the stores, which offer I accepted, know ing the imminent risk there would be in landing a party in presence of such a superior force, and out of gunshot of the ships. This very dangerous service they most gal lantly performed, narrowly escaping the Cossacks, who all but cut them off from their boat." (Despatch from Admiral Lord Lyons, 2d June, 1855, No. 419.) The second volunteer service was performed while the town of Taganrog was being bombarded by the boats of th e fleet, and is thus recorded by Captain Lyons :—" Lieut. Cecil Buckley, in a four-oared gig, accompanied by Mr. Henry Cooper, boatswain, and manned by vo l un t eers , re peatedly landed and fired the different stores and Govern m,nt buildings. This dangerous, no t t o sa y d es p era te, service (carried out in a town containing upwards of 3,000 troops, constantly endeavoui jug to prevent it, and only checked by the fire of the boats' guns), was most 'effectually performed." (Despatch from Admiral Lord Lyons,_ 6th June, 1855, No. 429.) JOHN TALBOT BURGOYNE, Commander.—Lord Lyons writes:—" As senior lieutenant of the Swallow this offi cer landed with Lieut. Buckley, and Mr. J. Roberts, gunner, in presence of a superior force, and set fire to the stores at Geuitchi, a service of imminentrisk." (Despatch from Ailtuirsl Lord Lyons, 2d June,lBss, No. 419.) N. B. This service has been previously described in the preced ing notice of Lieut. Buckley's services. JOHN ROBERTS, Gunner.—This warrant officer landed with Liouts.

JOSEPH TRFWAVAS, Seaman.--" Particularly mentioned as having cut the hawsers of the floating bridge in the Straits of Genitchi, under a heavy fire of musketry, on which occasion be was wounded." This service was per formed by the crews of the captain's gig, and of one of the paddle-box boats of the Beagle, un ter a heavy fire of musketry at about a distance of 80 yards; the beach being completely lined with troops and the adjacent houses filled with riflemen. Joseph Tiewavas is espe cially mentioned in the despatches as having been the person who cut the hawser. (Despatch from Admiral Lord I..yons of the 10th July, 1855, No. 516.) JOSEPH KELLAWAY, Boatswain.—" Whilst boatswain of the Wrangler, in the Sea of Azoff, was taken prisoner after a stout resistance, whilst endeavouring to rescue Mr. Odevaine, mate." This gallant service was per formed on shore near Marionpol. A detachment, cenAisting of Mr. Odevaine, mate ; Mr. Kellaway, boat swain, and three seamen, bad been despatched from the Wrangler to endeavour to burn some boats, fishing sta tions, and haystacks, on the opposite side of a small lake. They bad nearly reached the spot, when they were fired upon by e, party of 50 Russian soldiers, who suddenly rushed from their ambush, and endeavoured to cut off their retreat. One man fell into the enemy's hands, but Mr. Kellaway and the two other seamen had contrived to make good their escape, when Mr. Odevaine acci dentally fa. Kellaway, apparently imagining him to b 3 wounded, without a moment's hesitation returned to his rescue, risking his own life to succour his command ing officer. Unfortunately, while lifting up Mr. Odevaine, they were surrounded by the enemy, and, notwithstand ing a gallant but hopeless resistance by Mr. Kellaway, they were both made prisoners. Commander Burgoyne, who has furnished these particulars, observes, " I was myself au observer of the zeal, gallantry, and self-devo tion that cha-acten ised Mr. Kellaway's conduct."—(De si atches from Admiral Lord Lyons, of the Bth Sept., 1855, No. 746 ; and of 22d Sept., 185:5, No. 796.) GEORGE FIOTT DAY, Commander.—With great enterprise and gallantry, landed, and successfully carried out a re connaissance, within the enemy's lines at Genitchi. This service was performed by Commander Day, with the view of ascertaining the practicability of reaching the enemy's gun-vessels, which lay within the Straits of Genitchi, close to the town. It was performed by Com mander Day alone on a dark but fine night, with the assistance of a pocket-compass. After traversing four or five miles of low swampy ground, occasionally up to his knees in water, ho at length advanced to within about 200 yards of the vessels. From the perfect silence on board them it was his conviction that they were without crows, and when he returned it was with the fall im pression that the expedition was a feasible one. This opinion, however, he was induced to change on the fol lowing day, in consequence of the increasing activity which was apparent in the direction of the vessels, and therefore he determined on making a second visit o the spot. On this occasion the night was a squally one, and the journey longer and more difficult than before. On reaching the spot, finding the vessels manned, and their crews apparently on the alert, he decided that any at tempt to surprise them was out of the question. (De spatch from Admiral Lord Lyons, October 9, 1855, No. 841.) N.B.—lt was while attempting a rec umaissaece on the same groun t that Captain l'Allemand, of the French steam-vessel Mouette, lost his life. JOHN EDMUND CoatatEnELt, Commander.—" When commanding the Weser, in the Sea of Azoff, crossed the Isthmus of Arabat, and destroyed large quantities of forage on the Crimean shore of the Sivash." This enter prise was performed by Commander Commerell, at night, accompanied by William Rickard, Quartermaster, and George Milestone, A.B. Having hauled their small boat across the Spit of Arabat they traversed the Sivash to the Crimean shore of the Putrid Sea. The magazine of corn, of which they were in search, lay about two mites and a-half off, and to reach it they had to ford two rivers, the Kara-su and the Salghir. The forage and corn, amounting to 400 tons, were stacked on the banks of the latter river, in the vicinity of a guard-house, and close to from 20 to 3) mounted Cos asks, who were en camped in the neighbouring village. Commander Com merell end his two companions contrived to ignite the stacks, the rapid blazing of which alarmed the guard, who pursued them to the shore with a heavy fire of musketry, and very nearly succeeded iu taking them prisoners.

Rickard is thus described by Commander Comme rell in his despatch :—" I must bring to your notice the excellent conduct of the small party who accompanied me, more especially that of Wm. Rickard, quartermas ter, who, though much fatigued himself, remained to assist the other seaman, who, from exhaustion, had fallen in the mud, and was unable to extricate himself, not withstanding the enemy were keeping up a heavy fire on us at the distance of 30 or 40 yards, as we crossed the mud," NAVAL BRIGADE. 18th commends this offic er : -I s t.

The mails were accompanied by a military escort, which passed close to them, and which, as soon as it was ascertained that the road was clear, took its departure. Availing themselves of this opportunity, Commander Bythesea and the stoker attacked the five men in charge of the mail, took thr.ra of them prisoners, and brought them in their own boat on board the Arrogant.
