Irrespective of the7Lbeef, pork, gue o ," prP serves, confections, and the other viands which go under the name of ship stores, the Australasian has, of course, a bakery a,ncl.a butchery, and when filled with passengers she will carry, for their com fort and sustentatiou, two cows (for milk), 120 sheep, three dozen pigs, and 100 dozen of paultry. The pens for the sheep, &c., are so placed that when than' ale disappear under the handsof the butcher a e pens can be removed piece meal, and pac almost no space, thus adding to the,deck ro_ may also notice a finely - constructetiiiikhou, the lower hold in the fore part of thas ship, which will hold ten tons of congealed water—a quantity reckoned sufficient to cool the throats of the thirsty Aus'ralians during any ordinary voyage. We need scarcely say that everything that the ingenuity of man can do has been done for the at tainment of safety in navigation. The Australa sian is divided by strong iron bulkheads into six or seven watertight compartments. She has a power ful steam whistle over the boiler, which can be worked by means of a lanyard from the bows under such circumstances as may call for it—such as in a fog, apprehended collision, or approaching the land. The captain has a telegraph upon the blidge, by which he can instantaneously regulate the ope rations of the engineer. She catries seven large boats—four of them life-boats and three cutters ; and four of the number are fitted up avili Cliffurd's patent lowering apparatus, the efficacy of which will be tested during the first outward trip. All is fire-proof, and no portion of the wood work comes nearer the boiler than than four feet, while around the boilers water hose are suspended, which way in a moment be applied to the cooling of any part of the machinery which gets or,rheated. It is intended that the Australasian shall sail from Southampton on the 12th of September for Alexandria in the first instance, as a short trial trip, and upon her return she will be put upon the long and important station between Suez and Australia. She will he commanded by Captain Geoffrey Sceales, formerly of the Golden Fleece. She will have six officers, seven engineers, and a crew of 140, including stewards and firemen. Wo may mention,.as an instance of the amplitude of the supplies, that the head engineer:s enrri,..,s .0,;0 5 him 900 gallons of oil and two tons of tallow ; and as for the doctor, he has an apothecary's shop better supplied than the best in many a royal burgh. Of the exact sum invested in this magnificent floating hotel or boarding-house we have no definite infor mation, but we suspect ere she leaves Southamp ton on her first trip little short of 110,0001. will have been expended upon her. It may be men tioned as an instance of the energy of the Clyde engineers, that the Messrs. Thomson only laid down the keel of the Australasian on the Ist of November last. 1/ETTINY in INDIA,—MEETING for tha RELIEF of the s SUFFERERS.—At the suggestion of many in fluential gentleman who feel a deep interest in the welfare of our 2 11ffering ferow-conntrym ,, n and their funibes in India, a PUBLIC MEETING will be hold in the Eg) ptian Hall at the Mansion-house, London on TUESDAY next, the 25th inst., at Two o'clock p r e cisel y .

I cannot tell you the misery of the five days it took us to reach Agra. Our lives were in danger the whole time, both from villagers and from parties of Sepoys we fell in with. They had loaded pistols and naked swords over us again and again. Our party altogether consisted of eight ladies, besides four sergeants' wives and a num ber of children. We had nothing but grain to eat and water to drink. Oar sergeant's wife died on the way from a sunstroke. We lad no co-' vering to our heads, and some had no shoes. The sepoys had robbed us of everything ; they even took the ladies wedding-rings. I tied mine round my waist, and so have kepeit. At last we reached here. lam staying with the Political Agent., as I have no friend here. My miseries are almost more than I can bear. On the first anniversary of our wedding day I heard for certain of -'s death. Even here we feel far from safe. We sleep in our clothes at the barracks ; and every night we expect an attack.

On our arrival at Bowgous about half-past 7 p.m. on Saturday, Hayes determined upon canter ing into Mynpore, about 8 miles, to consult with the magistrate about attacking the Elah Rajah, who had set himself up as king, and set our rule at defiance. All Sunday we remained at Myupore, sending poor Barber, the adjutant of the 2d Irre gular Cavalry, directions to proceed up to Kurrow lee and that there we would join him on Monday morning. The Thanadar came in from Bowgous, saying our men were mutinying, and begged us not to trust them ; but when Hayes's escort came in in the evening, and said their men had been com plaining about the-long marches, &c., we thought it was nothing. Well, we cantered- along, all merrily in the morning, talking of how we would open the road to Allyghur, and carry all before us, and after riding ;about 11 miles we came up in sight of the men apparently going along the road and quite orderly. They were on one road, we on another, I said" Let us cross the plain and meet them.' As we approached they faced towards us and belied, and when we had cantered up to within about 50 yards of them one or two of the native officers rode out to meet us, and said in a low voice Fly, Sahibs, fly.'

Its pentad is Vrtieularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of phys cal condition, end who are conscious of having hazarded t he i st .a`th, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It I. absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Ilinciples of personal management which cannot be violated w:th- Ent incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue "ed the heyday of inconsiderate self-Indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of, heir bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, ' h arthere is scarcely any degree of physic ii infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The following i 3 a letter from a gentleman in the Civil Service, whom the news of the revolt sur prised at Simla : _ - many yards I - saw a native officer go up alongside of him, and with one blow cut him from his saddle. It was the work of an instant, and took much less time than I have to relate it. On they all came shouting after me, and every now andlhen "ping" came a ball near me. Indeed, I thought my mo ments were numbered, but as I neared the road at the end of the maidan a ditch presented itself. It was but a moment I thought, dug my spurs bard in, and the mare flew over it, though she nearly fell on the other side : fortunately, I recovered her, and in another moment I was leaving all be hind but two Sowars, who followed me and poor Hayes's horse tearing on after me. On seeing this I put my pistol into my holster, having reserved my firs until a man was actually upon me, and took a pull at the mare, as I had, still a long ride for it, and knew that my riding must now stand me a good turn ; so I raised the mare as much as I could, keeping those fiends about -100 yards in rear, and they, I suppose, seeing I was taking it easy, and not urging my horse, but merely turning round every now and then to watch them, pulled up, after chas ing me two good miles. Never did - I know a hap pier moment, and most fervently did I thank God for saving my life. Hayes's Arab came dashing along, and passed me • I still continued to ride on at a strong pace, fearful of being taken and mur dered by some who had taken a short cut unknown to me. Thus up to the sixth mile from home I continue to fly, when, finding mymare completely done, and meeting one of our Sowars, I immedi ately stopped him, jumped up behind, and ordered him to haste back to Mynpore. After going about a mile on this beast we came up to poor Hayes's horse, which had been caught, so on him I sprang, and he bore me back safely to cantonments.. It was, indeed, a ride for life or death, and only when arrived at the magistrate's kutcherry, in which all the Europeans were assembled, did I feel at all comfortable. Men were immediately sent out to look for the. body (Hayses's) and bring it in, and ascertain the fate of Barber, the adjutant, and young Fayeer, who were known to have left their last encamping ground with the mon. In the afternoon poor Hayes's body was brought in, his head most frightfully.hacked about, his right hand cut off, and his left fearfully lacerated—his watch, rings, boots, all gone, and his clothes all cut and torn to pieces. Poor fellow !it was a sad fate for such a good and clever man, and deeply do I feel the loss - of one who was ever a kind friend to me, anxious to serve me by every means in his power ; gladly would I have assisted him had I bad it in my power, but what could I do against 200 infu riated fanatics Poor Hayes was not eight yards from me when .he fell; and one instant's delay would have been certain death to me. One old Sikh Sirdar with two followers, who scold aloof from thee acts of murder, and one of Hayes's servants brought iu his body, and from them I learned that poor young Fayeer's and Barber's re mains were also being brought in. A dastardly villain of a Sowar stole behind poor young Fayeers, as he was drinking at a well, and with one blow of his tulwar in his neck killed him ; he fell back, his head half severed from his body. The old Sikh rushed forward to raise him, and ordered them to seize the murderer, when another man said, What! are you with these Caffres ; take care of yourself.' On raising poor young Fayeer's head the poor man breathed his last. Barber fled up the road, seve ral giving chase ; he shot one horse, and two of the Sowars, when he was hit with a ball and tlrin cut down, his property taken off, his horse seized, and then all rode offlowards Delhi. Fayeer was killed about ten minutes before we came up, then they killed poor Hayes, _ and then Barber. Thus you see through the mercy of God, I escaped sharing these poor fellows' fate. I am now with some eight others in the Kutcherry of Mynpore; we have lots of arms and ammunition. It is a large pukna building, and from the top we can make a good fight if no guns are brought against us. We have 100 of the Gwalior Horse, under Major Raikes, acid are raising infantry and cavalry all round, and now have about 100 of each or more, besides a few men of the 9th Native Infantry, who remained true to their salt, and did not dcsert with the rest. The Gwalior Horse . MajOr Raikes seems very confident in, but since-',this last enteate in. our men I do not place trust iu a single native. Deeply do I feel for my unfortunate companions who left Cawnpore with me, full of hope, and anxious to be the first to cut our way through this Etah Rajah's country, and open the road for Government to Allygurb, which has now been closed some days. We were all anxious to dis-. tinguish ourselves , and every day we tried to inspire our men, who swore they would follow us, and thus, with a deceitful, lying outward show of entering heartily into our views, did they lead us on, and then became the murderers of those poor men who had never injured them, and promised them all sorts of rewards it' they would light well and stick to our sides like men. Thus is our dream dispelled. I, the only one left of those four , it is sickening to contemplate. lery, are heroes, at present invaluable to the State. An alarm of an attack in our rear sounded at 11. p.m., and when it subsided I mounted on a Sowar's horse, and, with five Sowars accompanying me, started on my 50-mile ride for Meerut. I reached the Meerut intrenchments the next night, having providentially found all quiet on the road, and next day took charge of the district, which is nearly disorganized owing to large bands of Goor jurs andJhats, who are murdering and plundering in every direction. Our communications are cut off except towards Delhi ant Mussoorie. I hear frequently.from H--- R—, who throughout has stood firm at his post with his immediate superior, Mr. S--, magistra' e of Saharampore. Indeed, nothing could he better than the conduct of the entire civil service ; many have devotedly sacrificed their lives at out-of-the way stations determined to try and keep order as long as they lived. Poor J. W. and his young wife were killed at Hissar, he thinking it his dutynot to leave his post, though he had heard long before of the massacres going on throughout the country. Martial law prevails in these districts, and ice have to hang some men nearly every day. Some of the worst villages of plunderers are burned, and the generality of the male inhabitants killed in our ‘- tours.' One of the pensioners of our Government, by name Wallee Dud Khan, has seiz the district of Bolundshuhur, the Sepoys there having mutined and plundered the treasury. He has received the appointment of Subabdar of Meerut from the King of Delhi, and, having mounted six guns on his fort of Malagruth, and raised a rabble force of some thousands of Gocir jars, has advanced to Ga'owtee, on the road to this place. Galowtee is about 30 miles from this; but we heard he 'ntended to attack the city of Haupper, which is ten miles nearer than Galowtee. A aqua drellacif Carabineers, 40 Rifles, 2 Horse Artillery guns, and about 50 native Sowars, were therefore told off to attack him I accompanied the force with all the young civilians at present here, viz.— Turnbull, Sapte, Clifford, Melville, and Ly4ll. We Etartecrat 6 p.m., rested two hours at Haupper, and went on to Galowtee. We heard that the Goor jur followers of Wallee Dud Khan and his General, Ismail Khan, had had a quarrel with theJhats of the neighbourhood, who were ready to assist us. On our approaching Galowtee we found. that the enemy had fled, and although we pursued the rear guard across country for about six miles we cou!cl not catch men on fresh horses, but killed a few footmen ; we then set the village of Bur matpore on fire ; this brought together a number of Jhats in the hopes of plunder, and to assist us against the Goorjurs. An officer of Carabi neers and a number of his men were just charg ing in among the Jhats, and Would have cut up a number of them, if I had not fortunately rid den up at the time and sopped them. We then set on the Jhats, who burnt and plundered six Goorjur villages, killing 17 men and losing two of their own number. It must be remembered that the Goorjura are aereditary robbers, and the g' and trunk road opposite to their villages has, since the mutiny, been constantly stained with the blood of the travellers and others they mur dered. We returned to Haupper by twelve at noon, having been is the saddle for about 16 hours and gone 50 miles. Two of the men of the Carabineers got su nstroke, and three horses died of fatigue ; one of the Rifles had his foot injured by a gun-wheel going over it, but we had no other casual ties on our side. The whole of the Rohilcund mutineers are now crossing the Ganges at Gurh mucktese, and I have done my best to induce the General here to let a small party with two guns go out to meet them ; but as they have eight guns and 2,000 regular troops, besides rabble, and we could not bring more than-300 Europeans and four guns against them, the pro)osal was negatived at a council of war. The whole of the council appeared to be against my proposal of attacking the enemy at the Ghat, yet lain folly convinced that time will prove I was right, and the decision of the council a mistake. The Rohilcund men will probably go on to Delhi. The 23d-Of this month is the 100th anniversary of the battle of Pla43sey. The natives say our government will cease on that day. We shall see. Ple ise God, the omen is as good for us as them, and, though a reverse before Delhi would cost all the lives of those now in the Noith-west pro vinces, yet we trust a day of retribution will come, and England is strong enough to replace ani re venge us. ghe following letter is from an officer in the camp before Delhi. dated June 24 : " These rascals are giving us_ an immense deal of trouble. We are just where we were a fortnight ago, with the exception of having built a few batteries. The mutineers fight like demons, and, being about six or seven to one, attack us every day. We have lost a great number of noble sol diers and officers, and have killed an enormous number of the enemy ; but we are , n t strong enough to go in at them behind their fortifications. They all sneak behind walls—if we could only fairly see them I think we should easily exterminate them. Of our little body of Sappers-180 na , ivw, 41' Europeans, and 12 officers—we have lost 16 natives and 5 Europeans killed and wounded ; yet wonderful to say, not an officer touched, though of course we always lead the way: We got a little reinforcement yesterday of 400 or 500 Europeans ; but I don't think now we are more than 3,000 strong, besides three native corps 'of 600 each. These are the Guides, one Sikh regi ment, and the Ghoorkas—the last are little bits of men froth the hills, like Chinese, but first-rate soldiers ; they think it great fun, and say it is better than killing deer or tigers. The other two corps are splendid fellows, nearly all Sikhs, who will go anywhere or do anything. Out of the five officers in the Guides, in one day one was killed and three others wounded. All those thi-ee r4gi ments ought to be remembered for ever by English men. " Yesterday we had a very hard brush with the Pandys, as we call them, but as usual polished them off. They say they are getting very disheartened in the city, but we sadly want more m-n, and shall have to stay here till we get them. This is the first scrimmage in Idnia where the enemy have had au unlimited supply of artillery of every description. They are splendid gunners, and pitch their shells with most disagreeable precision. One round shot the other day killed one officer and six men, and wounded two others, I believe mortally, besides a few others who were bruised by the stones it knocked up. I was sting in the battery the day before yesterday smoking a pipe, when a shell came bang behind, and burst in the parapet. It knocked me well for ward, but did not even upset a sand bag, to my great joy, for I was rsther afraid that the battery was too thin. If they don't give us a medal when this is over I will never speak to a Director again ! . . . . The rains are coining on in a day or • two, by all appearance. I hope the men won't get ill in tents." The following letter is from a lady, dated Agra, June 27 : _ .. .. -'• I will now try to describe all • . • • this as it happened. A rising had long been expecled at Gwalior ; but, alas, nothing was done, and we bad no English troops. On Sunday, the 14th of June, just as were go ing to bed, about half-past nine, our servants rushed in and said the Sepoys had risen. We dressed as quickly as we could, and then walked to an officer's bungalow to learn what we could do to escape. Wefound the family in a state of great alarm ; as we were talking to Mrs. —, her husband's horse rushed by, and it was said he had jnst been shot. We then went and hid in the gar den under some trees for about three hours; the shot was flying round us in all directions, and the houses were burning. The servants then hid us—that is, my husband, Mrs. —, and myself in one of their houses. Here we lay hid some time, expecting every moment to be discovered and came in once or ' twice, draggedbut did o n nt o . t see h u e s ; S a eP t ° l Y a s st about 5 o'clock in the morning they found us. They were afraid to come in at the door, so they pulled the roof off and fired in upon us. We then went to the door and begged them not to kill us. When my hus- ' band went to the door they fired twice at him. There were about 20 of these horrid-looking men, and quite drunk. He was not wounded and rushed on, they pursuing him and fired at him as he 'ran. I then rushed forward too, and at first they fired at me as well, but then they dragged me away. never saw -- after this ; but I since heard that he was killed two or three compounds further on., I got an officer hero who escaped to make all the inquiries he could. It is not known if the bodies were buried or not,. but it is believed they wero all thrown into, the river. I can scarcely write or think, so fearful is it at all. " After I suppose they had killed —, the Sepoys came back to us ; they pushed all the ladies into a little hut that was near, and then they all crowded in and mocked at us, and threatened us with death, worse than death. They then took us to the lines. After keeping us there some' time they said they would not kill us, as wo were only WQMOD 3 and they bad killed our husbands, and rio The following are extracts from a letter from the Rev. James Kennedy, of Benares. This letter is dated June 29, 1857 : ‘ 5 We have had many ups and downs since wrote last ; but thanks to the Divine goodness we are still in safety, and, though it is well nigh im possible to have a feeling of security, we think our position is daily improving. The country in the immediate neighbourhood is settling down into quietness. For several days, so far as we know, there has been no plundering or murdering within several miles of our city. For this comparative impunity, when the greater part of the country is in a blaze, we are indebted under Gol to several things. 1. We have no native soldiers worth naming to keep us in dread, while we have a very considerable body of European troops, to whoni d aily add itions are made. Not a day passes without several arriving. They are being constantly posted on, and yet we have from 600 to 700 always here, with six 1 trge guns. The dread of the European soldiers has fallen remarkably on the people since the engagement on June 4. They think them demons in human forms, and to this opinion our safety is in a degree trace-. able. 2. We have an officer in command of the station of great vigour, 'in whom all have confidenze. 3. Our judge is a man greatly feared by the people, and during this crisis he has done most excellent service. For daring vigour he has few equals : his name is a proverbior swift, stern justice. There are of course thouss Ills in this city set on mis lief, and the dread of this one man has done more to keep them quiet than anything else. The result is that the city, notwithstanding its well-known turbulence in even peaceiul times, remains astonish ingly quiet. Many of the people are petrified with fear of our soldiers being let loose on them. Our head magistrate also is well spoken of by the community. 4. The gibbet is, I must acknowledge a standing institution among us at present. There it stands, immediately in front of the flagstaff, with three ropes always attached to it, so that three may be executed at one time. Two additional gibbets were erected, with three ropes to each; but they have been taken down. Scarcely a day passes with out some poor wretches being hurled into eternity. It is horrible, very horrible ! To think of it is enough to make one's blood run cal ; but such is the state of things here that even fine delicate ladies may be heard expressing their joy at the vi gour with which the miscreants are dealt with. The swiftness with which crime is followed by the sc verest punishment strikes the people with astonish ment, it is _so utterly foreign to all .our modes of procedure, as known to them. Hitherto the pro cess has - been very slow, encumbered with forms, and such cases have always been carried to the supreme court - for final decision. Now, the Commissioner of Benares may give commis sions to any he chooses (the city being under martial law) to try, decide, and execute on the spot, without any delay and withuot any reference. The other day a-party was sent out to Gopirang, some 30 miles distant, to seize a land holder who had proclaimed himself Rajah, and . two men said to be his Ministers. The three men were surprised and taken. They were tried on the spot by a commission composed of five military and civil officers. After h short trial the three were condemned to be executed then and there. The Rajah and the others protested they were innocent, and appealed to the Sudder (the Supreme Court.) They were told there was no appeal to the Sudder in these days. To their utter amazement and hor ror prAparsttiona woro mado for their osoo f ution be fore their own door, and before the sun went down they were executed. Whatever may be thought of such doings one thing is certain, that these execu tions have struck terror into the hearts of the mauranders in this district, and have done much to awe them into better conduct. Roads near us in which people were hourly plundered a fortnight ago are now quite safe." Naval and Military intelligence. Major-Gen. Wyndham, C. 8., who has been Sc' lected to command a division in the East Indies, has left town for Marseilles, there to embark for Alexandria overland to Calcutta.

Wood, Royal Horse Artillery ; Col. Horsford, C. 8., Rifle Brigade ; Lieut.-Col. Little, 9th Lancers ; Col. Beecher, Major Brett, Capt. Johnson, Capt. Coles, Capt. Brigs, Capt. Maxwell, Capt. H. Richards, Capt. E. J. Richards, Capt. M•Queen, The 15thilussarsand 6th Dragoons have both re ceived orders - to march from Aldershot, the former to Norwich, and the latter to Brighton. Before leaving camp the officers of the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade presented Mr. Govey, the station master at Farnborough, with a splendid silver cup, suitably inscribed, as a mark of their appreciation of his courtesy and attention. Th;s makes the fourth valuable testimonial of the same kind which Mr. Covey has received within the last few months. The troops belonging to the Royal Engineers at Chatham were on Saturday engaged in a series of operations at Old Rochester-bridge, for the pur pose of destroying that ancient structure. On Wednesday another large portion of the old bridge will be destroyed by the Sappers and Miners. Colonel H. Savage, Commanding Royal Engi neer at Chath am , h as been appointed Commanding Royal Engineer at Gibraltar, to which station he proceeds forthwith. The clipper ship Lightning, which has been taken up by the E rat India Company fur the con veyance of troops to India, having been reported ready, reinforcements from the following Indian depots at the Provisional Battalion, Chatham, are ordered to embark on board that vessel at Graves end, viz. :-Bth (the King's), 10th, 29th, 32d, 35th, 53d, 60th (Rifles), Ist battalion, 75th, 82d, and 84th Regiments, with the undermentioned officers : Capt. Priestly, 32d Regiment. Lieut. T. C. Robert son, and Lieut. G. C. Bartholomew, 10th Regt. ; Lieut., C. Spencer, 82d Regt. ; Ensigns A. G. Black, G. E. Fursdon, and Cochrane, 29th Regt. The order for the embarkation of tho detachments of 'officers and men of the 43d Light Infantry, 3d Battalion GOth Rifles, and 74th Highlanders at Portsmouth, for India has been countermanded, and the reinforcements for those regiments, num bering 109 men, with nine officers, will remain at Chatham Garrison until required to embark at Gravesend. The P battery, Royal Artillery, w hich has left Norwich for the camp at Shot ncliffe, will form part of the reserves for India. The battery under the com mand of Major Ward, which has for some time past been stationed at Ipswich, has left that town for Woolwich, and is expected to embark shortly for India. On Wednesday the 56th Re gt ., under the com mand of Lieut.-Colonel Facy, arrived in Cork from the Curragh, from which camp, on their departure that morning, they were played out to the Grand Stand-house by the bands of the 99th Regt. and 3d and 13th Light Dragoons. The regiment, in all probability, will remain iu bsrraeks till about the 25th, dating which time they will be able to pro vide themselves with sea kits and other necessaries for the voyage. The Curacoa, 31, Capt. Forbes, left Spithead on Friday evening for Woolwich with supernumera ries to be paid off. The Roebuck and Sparrowhawk, steam gunves sels, Commaiders Martin and Byug, have gone to Spithead to await sailing orders for India. The Sidon, 22, paddle-frigats, was docked Lt Portsmouth on Saturday for repairs. The Diadem, 32, C i pt. Mcorsom, C. 8., will be fitted out with all despatch at Portsmouth. Her complement will be 470. The Vernon, 1,000 tons register; Capt. 11. H. Consitt, 011 Q of the East Indian fleet belonging to Recruiting for the Royal Artillery has been car ried on at Wo.dwich with much spirit during the past month, and upwards of 400 young men from various parts of the kingdom have been attested, and have joined the regiment at head-quarters. The utmost activity continues to prevail in the laboratory department of the Royal Arsenal in the preparation of stores for shipment to India and Ceylon. The Defence, convict hulk, has at last been en tirely raised, and the Liebe and Bacchante, which were lashed alongside, have returned to their moorings. The Defence is unfit for further ser ice, and will be broken up. The Galatea, screw corvette, is now in a forward state, and will, it is expected, be launched during the ensuing month. An extra number of ship wrights have been employed on her decks. Mr. Macdonald, Master-Attendant of Woolwich Dockyard, assisted by his troop of seamen-riggers, who have been employed night and day during the last month in lifting and dragging the Defence hulk from the bed of the river of Woolwich Arsenal, succeeded on Saturday in carrying her, on the spring tide, lashed between a couple of frigates, over the verge of the low-water mark, where she will be overhauled by the shipwrights, so as to de cide her future destiny. - She now lies entirely dry forward, with a depth' of four feet aft, and presents the appearance of being unfit for further service.

THE' AUSTRALASI AN SCREW STEAM- SR IP. GLASGOW, FRIDAY. This magnificent iron steamer, built by Messrs. J. and G. Thomson, Clyde Bank, for the European and Australian Company, left the Bioonhelaw to-day for Southampton, whence she will soon make her maiden passenger trip. She was launched on the 10th of June last. The Australasian is of 2,800 tons builders' measurement, is 360 feet over all, 42 feet beam, and will be propelled by means of a three-bladed screw by two direct acting engines of 700-horse power. She has six tubular boilers, which are covered with felt and then with lead, by which heat is retained and fuel econo mised. These are fired by 30 furnaces. There are two 90-inch cylinders, with a ai feet stroke. These aro also covered with felt, overlaid with teakwood, which imparts to the ponderous machinery an appearance quite ornamental. The poop, instead of being fitted up as a dining saloon, as is generally the case with the Atlantic steamships, is here appropriated to 60 sleeping cabins, which will be exceed;ngly airy. These, of course, will be favourite berths in a tropical voyage. The saloon is consequently placed below upon the main deck. It need only be said of it that it is a spacious and most handsome hall, with a space of eight feet between floor and ceiling, and capable of accommodating 180 first-class passangera comfortably at dinner. On each side and for ward extend a long line of comfortable cabins, there being in all sleeping accommodation for 200 first class passengers and for 60 second-class, along, also, with a very pretty saloon for the latter class iu the forward part of the ship. At night the cabins are fully lighted, but, as in other first class modern steamers, the light itself is be yond the reach of the passenger, who thus cannot either thoughtlessly or sinfully harm himself or endanger the ship by means of fire. There are seven bathrooms, both for plunge and shower, 21. water-closets, &e. In fact, there are the elements of oomfort visible in every direction, for even the looking-glass on the wall turns on a ball and socket, by which it can be easily brought in juxtaposition with the passenger's face, whatever may be the lay or heel of the ship. Below the saloons and after-cabins are store rooms, powder magazine, two mailrooms, and a bul lion room. The mailrooms are lined with zinc throughout, and have capacity for carrying letters, papers, despatches, and parcels to the total weight of 60 tons. The bullion room is also coated with zinc, containing an iron strong box of the mosth w solid and ponderous construction, secured with e to treas i t s i Chubb's locks, and capable of carrying the weight of 10 tons. The spirit-reonl ralle apparatus, store 5 apartment, is water-tight , lined with zinc, and this, like every other separa.e In the after-hold are tan e ke indeed, the ship might tons of fresh water ; but, t rat all, for she has a safely sail without any wate r most beautiful and efficient c d al is c t u i l l a li t ng e : element into fresh at th e s alt which will conve rt the rate of 2,50 0 g allons per day.

This distilling apparatus is worked by a powerful engine, separate from and independent of the great engine s which propel the ship, and may be, and will br i applied to other important purposes. We may allude to a very important, and, as applied to a vessel of this kind, a novel adjunct, in the slap 3 of a ballast tank, capable of holding 450 tons of water. This tank may, if necessary, be filled with coa l s in the first instance, and as these are consumed th en . place is supplied with such a weight of water as may preserve the ship in the best sailing trim. The filling and emptying of the tank is done by a povrer- THE LATE SIR H. LAIVREYCE, K.C.B. Sir H. M. Lawrence, whose death in a sortie beneath the walls of Lucknow was announced in our columns on Saturday among the Indian intel ligence, was a very distinguished officer, of Irish blood and extraction, and one of whom the sister island may feel justly proud. He was the elder brother of Sir J. L. M. Lawrence, K.C.8., at pre sent Chief Commissioner of the Punjab, being the eldest son of the late Lieut.-Col. A. W. Lawrence, some time governor of Upnor Castle, who dictin guished himself by his gallantry at Seringapatain. His mother was daughter of the late Capt. Knox, of the county of Donegal. He was born in 1806 at Mattura, in Ceylon, and married (in 1837) Honoria, youngest daughter of the Rev. Geo. Marshall, of Cardonagh, Ireland, but was left a widower in 1854. Having received his early education at the diocesan school of Londonderry, and afterwards at the Royal Military College, Addiscombe, he en tered the military service of the Hon. East India Company in 1821, having obtained a commission as a cadet in the Bengal Artillery. He soon acquired the reputation of one of the most able and intelli gent dicers in the service, and having seen some serviekan. the Cabul campaign under Sir G. Pollock hi 1843, he was raised to the rank of Major. lja•thessam - e!_year he became British Resident at Nepaul. He afterwards played a distinguished part in the campaigns on the Sutlej, soon after which he was made a Military Companion of the Bath, and at the same time promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1846 he was ap pointed Resident at Lahore and agent for the Go vernor-General on the north-western frontier. It was for his able services in the administration of this important office that he was made a K.C.B. (civil) in 1848. In the following year ho was ap pointed by Lord Dalhousie President of the Board for the Reduction and Government of the recently annexed province of the Punjaub, where he in creased-the high opinion already entertained of his administrative talents by his friends and by the Government. In 1854 he obtained the rank of full colonel, and was also further nominated an honorary Aide-de Camp to her Majesty, as a further recogni tion of his merits. He was the author of an interest ing volume, entitled " Adventures of an Officer in the Service of Runjeet Singh." The ability and firmness which he had shown in checking the pro gress of the recent mutiuo must be too fresh in the memory of our readers to need repeating here. We will only add that in Sir H. Lawrence the Indian • service and the country have lost an officer whos3 head and hand they could ill afford to spare in the present important crisis. But it is not only as a soldier or as an eminent civilian that Sir H. Law rence will be missed, high as his character stood in both capacities. As a frank, open, honourable, and straightforward man, and as a generous and un selfish friend, he had few equals and no superior, so that his loss will fall quite as heavily upon private society in India, as it will upon the public service. As an instance of his generosity, it deserves to be recorded that for many years, drawing a handsome revenue from his official employments, he devoted all that he could spare of his yearly salary to the foundation of an asylum for the or phan children of European soldiers, which boars his name, and will long stind as a memorial of his good deeds on the hills between Simla and Umbal lah. VIE LATE 81R H. W. BARNARD. Lient.-General Sir 11. Win. Barnard, K.C.8., whose death by dysentery before the walls of Delhi is reported by the telegraphic despatch from the East which appeared in our columns on Saturday, was a son of the late Rev. W. Barnard, LL.B., of Water Stratford, Bucks, by the daughter of the late Mr. M. Disney, of Churchtown, county of Waterford. He was born at Wedbnry, Oxfordshire, in 1799, and received his early education at West minster School and at the Royal Military College of Sandhurst. He entered the army in 1814 as ensign, and served for manyyear El in the Grenadier Guards. In 1815 ho became attached to the staff of bis uncle the late Sir A. Barnard while beheld the command of the British forces in Paris ; and in 1819-20 we find him acting as aideezte-camp to Sir John (after- , wards Lord) Keane, during his command iu the West ludies. From 1847 to 1852 he was employed. as Assistant-Adjutant-General in the northern dis trict, and commanded the South Wales district from 1852 to 1854. - In the latter year he wa.ss?nt out to the Crimea as Major-General commanding ono of the Brigades. He subsequently became Chief of the Staff in the Crimea under General • Simpson, and held that post up to the date of the He also coin appointment of Geueral Windham. of the late war. In 1856 he was made . aKnight the Bath, and was appointed to the manses a brigade for a short wipe before the close Commander of of the troops at Corfu and of placed in Maier-geir ralonZ e staff l of the Bengal c a o divis a i n o d n B:ST7:nye:dile and Doverfinally army I n dia. last, n he proceeded to Se su cceeded to the command of the troops before Delhi in June last General iin N so o n ve , En w b homhe ba o s n f t o h ll e ow su e d d a t e o n after an interval of scarcely General Barnard married in 1828 tdheea gravet death e f four weeks' duration. a daughter of the late Brigadier J.

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION IN THE QUEEN'S will be seen, by reference to our report of the trials that have taken place at the Central Criminal Court, during the past week, that De Salvi, the man who made the murderous attack upon Mr. Robertson, in the Queen's Prison, some tune since, has been con victed of the offence, and sentenced to fifteen year's penal servibude, with an intimation from the Judge, that should his victim die, in consequence of the attack, he will still be liable to an indictment for wilful murder. Our readers will, of course, remember, that Mr. Gower, of Barbican, was originally included in the grave charge, and that he was, from tine to time, held to bail by the magistra e. Under the peculiar circumstances of the case, this was, perhaps, inevitable, although there was nothing to implicate that gentleman, beyond an unsup ported statement, that he said something to De Salvi,, which was construed into an e ncouragement to him to perpetrate the outrages on Robertson. No one who knew him, could, for a moment, believe him to have been guilty of so dastardly and ferocious an act, and the grand jury, by ignoring the bill laid before them, after hearing all that could bo said in support of it, mo t conclusively showed that there was not even the semblance of evidence against Mr. Gower, whose friends were eager to congratulate on this anticipated result —Since the above was written, we understand th a t Robertson died last evening ( Saturday), at aye naii.u:es past seven o'cleek.--Sunday Times.
