SIR JAMES DUKE AND THE EAST SUSbEX ELECTION. Our readers will have observed, in the report which appeared in yesterday's paper of the pro - c-erlino.s of the meeting at the London Tavern on Tte say, relative to the representation of the City, that after the nomination for the re-election of Sir James Duke had been moved by Mr. Alderman W re, and seconded by Mr. Under-Sheriff Ander toll, Mr. Alderman Salomons thought proper to at;;oospt to crate a prejudice against Sir James, and to in'errupt the harmony of feeing which existed, by arraigning the Hon. Baronet's conduct down to Sussex, j a not going at the late election, to vote for Mr. Dodgson, the Liberal candiila.e. It w , u ld not be possible to imagine anything more urrYracious, under all the circur os t anc , , s than the conduct of Mr. Salomons ;_ and it wa s a , i ncon _ sistent in one professing to . have decided religious • • les as it was principles ungracious.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY Er.ENING, MARCH 13, 1857, SCREW STEAMING TO AUSTRALIA. The Melbourne Argus contains the following in teresting letter from the Bev. J. L. Lillie, D.D., describing the trip of the screw steam ship Royal Charter from Liverpool to Melbourne " The arrival of the Royal Charter, after her second voyage from England, is an occurrence of such interest to the Australian colonies that a few observations from a passenger relative to the in cidents of the voyage may not be unacceptable to your readers. " We steamed out of the Merseyagainst a westerly wind on Thursday evening, the 2d Oct. We put our plot on board the barque Benin, bound for Liverpool, on the forenoon of the 4th, about 20 miles to the westward of Waterford. We had head winds and calms till the 13th, when we passed the island of Madeira. We got the north-east trade on the 16th, in lat. 24.52 N., and lost it on the 19th. We crossed the equator on the 27th, in long. 26.38 W., after being 24 days out. " During the whole of this first part of the voy age the winds were either light or contrary, thus causing an unexpected demand on our steam power. The screw propeller was in action every day except three, and such was the strength of the wind against which we liad to contend the second day after start ing that we only made 108 miles in the 24 hours. " The importance of the screw as regards the health of the passengers was very apparent when passing through the calms to the north of the equa tor, with upwards of 600 people crowded, as they must necessarily be, within the limits of a single vessel, carrying a large cargo besides. We should have been in great danger of epidemic disease had we been detained long in those hot and unhealthy latitudes ; as it was, only slight symptoms of ill ness had time to manifest themselves among the children, of whom there were upwards of 60 on board. Two, of very delicate constitution, died during the hot weather, and one at a later period of disease caught at the same time. The three were all very young. We had an excellent run from the Equator to the Heads, and only required to steam on four separate days. "On the 18th Nov. we sailed 325 geographical miles, allowing 29 minutes for the difference of lon gitude ; this gives 383 statute miles in the 24 hours, or at the rate of 16 miles an hour. In three conse cutive days, including the 11th Nov., we ran, making the same allowance for difference of longi tude, 957 nautical miles, which gives about 13i knots an hour, or 1,108 statute miles, with an average velocity of 15.4 miles an hour. " " Our greatest run was on the 3d Dec., which, after allowing eight miles from 8.12 difference of longitude, gave 360 nautical miles in the 24 hours, or exactly 15 knots an hour ; changing it into sta tute miles we have no less than 417 as the re sult of this day's sailing—a speed of nearly 17i miles an hour. At one time upwards of 17 knots ran off Ihe reel, showing a velocity of 20 miles an hour, the ship all !he while carrying royals and studding sails, the summer season, too, when the winds are from lat. 23.30 south, long. 37.6 to Cape Otway. The distance by the route we followed is 8,964 nau tical miles ; this we accomplished in 34 days, and in light winds. This exceeds the celelar ated run of the Lightning in the corresponding part of her voyage in the winter of last year, when she completed 8,146 miles in 33 days, or an average of 247 miles per day, or 10 knots an hour, whereas the Royal Charter's average was 2641 nautical miles a day, or 11 knots an hour. " A remarkable phenomenon presented itself when running between the parallels of 43.31 and 45.3 south latitude, and 40.27 and 57.32 east lon gitude. For three days, and over a space of 700 miles, the sea was quite changed, and had the dull, turbid appearance which is so well known to mari ners when in soundings. Some parts were more affected in this way than others, but the whole was manifestly different from the ordinary colour of the ocean. "Captain Boyce informs me that he observed the same change last voyage, but only for 150 miles, and when his course lay about 130 miles further south, and that, though he has repeatedly sailed over the same ground, he never saw or beard of it before. Had circumstances admitted of it, it would have been highly interesting to ascertain whether we really were in soundings, a subject of inquiry peculiarly deserving the attention of future navigators, as connected with the gealogical ques tion of a possible rise of the subjacent laud. The same arrangement with reference to the compasses was adopted in this as in the pr ceding voyage, and with the same highly satisfactory results. The compass, fixed by copper fastenings at an elevation of 42 feet to the rnizenmast, we found to act with the utmost accuracy, and altogether free froze the disturbing action of the iron ship. " As a practical proof of this, as well as of the excellence of our chronometers and the regularity and precision with which the observations were ,aken . , I may mention that the first land we dis• Itinctly saw was a rock called Gough's Island, ri s i ng precipitously in the midst of the south Atlantic to the height of 4,000 feet in 40.19 south, 9.41. west. We sighted this at the very hour that had been pre dicted to myself the day before by the captain, and last night when the loom of the Australian land began to appear, and, above all, when the beauti ful light on Cape Otway first disclosed itself, at the very time we had been led to expect, a thrill of emotion passed through all on board, caused not more by the thought of having at length got within sight.of our destination than by admiration for the triumph of science and art which had so strikingly signalised itself by our arrival at the given hour and place after a voyage of 13,000 miles through the tra , :kless ocean. " The feeling or distrust which, for a consider able time and with too much reason, attached itself to iron ships on account of the irregularity and un certainty in the action of the compasses has now disappeared —a circumstance of no small moment, when iron is so rapidly displacing wood in the naval arsenals of Europe. " The great drawback in the present voyage as compared with the previous one has been the un favourable weather we experienced as far as the line. We lost six days on this part of the voyage. Our average speed, chiefly with steam, was rather under seven knots. " From the line to Australia, on the other hand, this voyage bears a decidedly advantageous com parison with the last. In the last the run was made in 41 days ; in this it has been clone in 40 days, with the important difference that we lost several days by being thrown by adverse winds more towards the coast of South America, and had therefore a course fully 1,000 miles longer to de scribe. "The combination of moderate steam power with first-class Railing qualities is undoubtedly the true solution of the problem of the Australian voyages, as alone dispensing with the necessity of calling at intermediate ports, and at the same time providing effectually against the inevitable contingencies of calms and unfavourable winds. " I cannot conclude this letter without paying a well-merited compliment to Captain Boyce for the quiet energy and assiduous attention, as well as professional skill, with which he discharges his im portant and highly responsible duties. Such a man is undoubtedly in his right place when cam manding the Royal Charter." THE TYNE STEAMER. This steamship, which, Al um it will be remembered, was stranded on the rocky shore off St. Alban's Head, on her voyage from the Brazils, early on the morning of the 13th o f January last,' has at last been rescued from her state of bondage, and is now once more safely ber , hed in our docks. Tha at tempts to float her have bean renewed each succes sive spring tide, but all in vain till the morning, when a heavy westerly swell set in, and about a quarter-past 7 o'clock, at th e t op of the tide, she was found to ba afloat. All the necessary prepara tions having previously been made the hull was immeditAely taken in tow by three powerful steam tugs, which started with her for Southampton. Telegraphic messages were forwarded here, an nouncing the fact, and subsequently that the had passed Hurst, and the news was soon in general circula'ion. The consequence was that when the vesels arrived here, about 3 o'clock, there wore several hundreds of people congregated in the docks. The Tyne was towed up the river by three tugs, the Friend to all Nations (of London) a-head, and the Aid and Phcenix on either side, closely attached to the hull. As she came up the river the Austra lian Company's steamer Jura, just departing on her voyage out, passed her, and fired a couple of guns as a complimentary salute. The whole of the steamships in dock also hOisted their Mlours. A couple of small engines were engaged on deck in Pumpin g the wa t er out of the hull, which flowed out by the s id e of the paddlewheel in a sun cata a ct. She was towed direct int o th e d oc k , and in `eary at) ed under theshears, and w ill b e t a k en into g g dock it i t 3u a t dhay er lower two.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—March 12. (Before Mr. Pashley, Q. C., Assistant-Judge.) James Booth, 25, omnibus conductor, 'surren dered to take his trial for embezzling money re ceived by him in the capacity of servant to the London General Omnibus Company. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the prosecution : Mr. Metcalfe was counsel for the prisoner. The evidence in support of the present indict ment, which contained three counts, charging the prisoner with having appropriated to himself three fares which he had received as a conductor on one of the company's omnibusses on one day, was similar to that adduced on a like charge, on which he was tried and acquitted on Wednesday. The witnesses were persons who bad been specially employed to ride in the prisoner's omnibus to make memoranda of the fares paid to him by passengers. Mr. Metcalfe subjected them to a severe cross examination, and made a very forcible address to the jury. After the learned Judge had summed up, The jury retired, as they did in the former case, and, after deliberating about four hours, they found the prisoner Not Guilty. The prisoner was liberated on bail, to appear to take his trial on a third indictment. John Banns, who on a former occas'on entered into a recognisance to appear for judgment, in a case of assault, arising out of a forcible entry of some premises, about which there was some dis pute as to the title, attended on Wednesday. Mr. Metcalfe, for the defendant, said his client had given up possession as required by the Court to the prosecutrix, Mrs. Moseley, with the intention of bringing an action of ejectment, but she handed the key to Mrs. Cobbett, who then said she was tenant, and any papers relating to the matter were to be sent to the Queen's Prison. Mr. Benns had not only been subjected to great annoyance, but to great expense, and he hoped therefore the Court would not inflict a fine upon him. The prosecutrix had brought an action for assault in the County Court. The Assistant-Judge suggested an arrangement between the parties. If the defendant gave 51., perhaps there would be an end of the assault matter. A consultation was then had, and it was under stood that the prosecutrix required 201., which the defendant refused to give. j The Assistant-Judge then fined the defendant Si. The fine was at once paid to the clerk of the peace on behalf of the Crown. Subsequently the prosecutrix applied that the Court would direct the 5/. to be paid over to her. The Assistant-Judgesaid he could not assist her further. She bad recovered possession of the premises, the legal title to which yet bad to be settled. She had charged the defendant with an assault, of which in law he had been guilty, and he pleaded guilty en indictment. She bad brought an action also for that assault, and bad rejected what the defendant bad been willing to give her upon his suggestion, namely, 5/., if she would forego the action—preferring to stand upon what she considered her legal rights—as no doubt she was entitled to do. The Court had imposed a fine for the assault, that flue was paid, and therefore the matter was so far at an end. POLICE INTELGIOBNCE—March 13, GUILDHALL.—A tall thin young man, named Gifford, was charged with the following impudent robbery. Mr. - Scanlon said,—l am the editor of a journal called the Literarium, and live in Cecil street, Strand. I left the office in New-Bridu-street last night, a few minutes past 10 o'clock, and was proceeding through Fleet street towards my house, when I was stopped by a crowd, near Wine-office court, immediately opposite the fire. Prisoner and several other persons were rushing to and fro, and at length they surrounded me, and the prisoner, placing himself very close in front of me, looked me full in the face, and with practised boldness he pulled open my outside coat, which was buttoned, with such violence that he tore away the buttons, and then thrust his hand forcibly into my waistcoat pocket, and took my gold watch, which cost twenty guineas. I saw him pass it to a man, dressed in fustian, who was standing by him, and immediately made ff with it, by stooping and working his way through the crowd. I at'empted to follow him, but was impeded by his associates, who closed round me, and prevented me from getting out of the crowd. I then secured the prisoner, never having left or lost sight of him for an instant, and handed him over to the custody of the officer. 1 felt his hand pulling at my watch, and when 1 got out of the crowd I found my Albert guard hanging loose from the buttonhole of my waistcoat. Prisoner—Did you see me tail() the watch ? Mr. Scanlon—Certainly ; and with the greatest deliberation and determination. There was no attempt at disguise in the matter. It was done with the most daring boldness. Police-constable 286 said—l took the prisoner into custody, and with the assistance of several firemen, I succeeded, with great difficulty, in get ting him from the crowd. A mob of his compa nions then tried to get him away, but I afterwards took him to the station. Alderman Lawrence committed the prisoner for ,rial. Prisoner—Cannot you deal with it summarily t Alderman Lawrence—Certainly not. The case is too serious to be disposed of in that way. The prisoner was then removed. SOI7THWARK.—Mr. Thomas Lintott, a gen tleman residing at Swancombe, near Northfleet, and a magistrate of the county, was charged with being drunk and disorderly at the South-Eastern Railway terminus, London-bridge, and refusing to leave when requested. It appeared from the evidence of the company's servants, that on the previous evening the prisoner came to the North Kent Railway station, at Lon don-bridge, and want e d t o go by t ra i n to North fleet, and that they, seeing that he was drunk, and knowing that he had been drunk before on their line, and greatly annoyed the passengers, gave him into custAly. The prisoner, who denied that be had ever been drunk in his life, and asserted that he bad been un justly accused because he had put the company to an expense of 2001., and did not fee the porters as he formerly did, was fined ss. Carl Koenig, Heinrich Thomson, and Frederic Elevert, firemen on board the Planet, Hamburg steamer, were charged with smuggling Thirty lbs. of foreign tobacco was found among the coal in the bunkers, to which Koenig and Thomson alone had access, and 3lbs. of tobacco was found on the per son of Elevert. On the two former the magistrate inflicted a penalty of 1001., or six months' imprisonment ; on the latter, treble the duty and value of the tobacco found on him, viz., 31. 2s. 9d., or one months' im prisonment. The prisoners ' who pleaded guilty, were, i n d e . fault of payment, committed to prison. LAMBETH.—John Frewin, keeper of the door leading to the kitchen at the Crystal Palace, was finally examined on the charge of receiving money for his employers and not accounting for it. It ap pesred that the prisoner had sold certain knuckles of ham, the property of the Messrs. Staples, the contract nurvexora to the Orvatal Palartp, _to o._no, that in consideration of the prisoner's family, and the week's imprisonment which he had undergone, he did 'not wish to p ress th e ma tt er further. Mr. Norton would not consent to the prisoner's discharge, observingthat there were three cases proved against him, and for each of these he should fine him 5/. or a month's imprisonment. The prisoner was locked up for some time, but ulti mately paid the 151. Mr. Norton observed, that since the former hearing of this case he bad received a number of letters requesting that he should publicly declare what were legally considered the perquisites of ser vants. In reply to them he would say that he knew of no legal perquisites, and for his own part he would say there shoukl be none, as they inva riably led to and encouraged dishonesty in servants. He had been informed that the cart that went about arly in the morning receiving refuse was very of ten msde the vehicle of extensive plunder ; that untouched joints and whole Yorkshire hams found their way into them, and the police 'would do well by keeping an eye on thall.

An application was made to remove a judg- I ment from the Westminster County Court, and the ex pense was urged as one of the reasons. Mr. Justice Crowder consulted some of the other learned judges, and ordered the writ to remove the proceedings. The case will no doubt affect others, as before the recent act there was no power to obtain a ca. sa. on a judgment in the county courts without an action. CAPTURE OF AN EAGLE. —A few days since a shep herd named Fergusson, in the employment of Mr. M'Artbur, of Ardwearach, made a clever capture of an eagle on the property of that gentleman. Having found a " braxy hogg" late one evening he (the shepherd) went to the bill early next morning for the purpose of fetching the carcass home, and having his attention arrested by the motion of some animal on the body of the sheep be approached cautiously, and discovered the intruder to be an enormous eagle, so busily engaged "tunnelling" the b'dy of be sheep as to be wholly unaware of his ap proach. Watching the motion of the bird—standing still as it withdrew to gorge what it had " excavated"- - and of lyapproacbing when its head was sheathed in the breastbone of the sheep, he was enabled by a sudden eprirg to disable it so far as to effect. (thought not with out: le aid of his dogs, and after cuff, rieg a good deal in the encounter himsetf) the capture of the bird alive. It measures seven feet six inches front point to point of its wings, and is one of the largest that has been seen in the part it was taken for years. A pair (of which it is onel have for more than 50 years been known to frequent ant' build in the crags above Ichkennetb, but without brbging eaglets to maturity, so far as is known ; and tin shepherds in the district hail with no small degree of satisfaction the capture of a depredator such as this one it known to have been. With the exception of a " game" wing, it seems to have quite got over the hard wage it was subjected to before it gave in, and con timneg' with infinite gusto, whatever is thrown to it in the shape of fresh meat, "fur or feather."— Glasgow Daily Mail.

On Tuesday evening a very numerous and influ ential meeting of liberal electors of the city of Bris tol was held in the Broadmea,d Room for the pur pose of receiving a deputation from the Ballot Society. The great room was densely crowded, George Thomas, Esq., president of the Liberal Registration Association, occupying the chair. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform were H. Verner, R. Goss, M. Castle, H. J. Mills, W. Tot hill, R. Carpenter, J. Wethermore, Esqrs., and other leaders of the liberal party ; and the deputa tion consisted of the veteran reformer General Thompson, Mr. Nicholson, of Victoria, Australia, and Mr. E. C. Whitehurat. The CHAIRMAN commenced by reading letters of apology from the members for the City, the Hon. F. H. Berkeley, and W. H. G. Langton, Esq., whose absence on such an occasion caused no small disappointment. Mr. Berkeley was prevented from leaving London by an attack of influenza and ulcer ated sore throat, and Mr. Langton by the pressure of Lis parliamentary engagements at this critical period. _ . The meeting was addressed by the cha;rman, the deputai ion, and by Messrs. Castle, Verger, Mills, Bennett, Jones, and others, at, d resolutions approv ing the ball o t, an d th an king the sitting members for their consistent support of it, were unartinously adoptei, as was likewise a petition to the Idolise o f Commons, asking for protection for the vot er i n the independent exercise of his franchise. Mr. NICHOLSON explained at consider a bl e length the introduction at lus instance of th e b a ll ot in Victoria, and had numerous authorities to show how admirably it had worked, and his narration was listened to with much interest. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. ~224 MONETARY AFFAIRS. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) The return of the Bank for the week ending February 21st is not of a character to impart much confidence as to an improvement in mon e y matters. The active circulatio n con ti nues small, being 18,615,1551., a decrease since the former return of 181,2601. The stock of bullion in both depart ments has increased by 145,0301. , but is still lo w, being 10, 404, 690/. Adopting the test of the author of the " Ba nk Barometer," we find that the cash in hand of the Bank is 6,264,5351., while the half liabilities amount to 8,738,029/. Thi s l eaves a d e ficiency ° cash in hand of 2,473,494/. ; and no prospect all therefore, be at present entertained of p re a duoti° ll in the Bank's rate of discount. There can be no doubt that this state of thin is acting injuriou s ly on our t ra d e i n a ll commere'id relations. The const a nt i n fl ux o f A us t ra lian g° tends to allay anxiety, and alto prevents the • 133 ° 1 ; from adopting more stringent measures for elle c t ing the drain of bullion. But it appears to us that European nations must adopt more decided Dil i sures if they wish to p reven t th e a b sor ption „„k silver by the E as t ern countr i es. This We'i 459,388/. of silver has been shipped by one verse the Indus, for India, and 325,8461. for China. „ t We cannot, of cour se , o bt a i n an accurate a 0011.70 of the sums of sil ver expor t e d to Chi na , but " have some report of the amount sent to India. s The quantity of silver i m p or t e d f rom Europe into British Indi a i s es ti ma t e d f or t h e l as t five Ytd at not less than 244 milli ons sterling ; an d duil the single year 1855-6 more th an 10 millions Wee imported into India.
