ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.NERCISTLE, DEC. 23. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) Blakestone Hinde, 27, and Wm. Wise, 21, were ledicted for having, on Dec. 26, 1856, assaulted anti robbed Win. Owley of 2621. The Hon. A. Liddell and Mr. Davidson prose cuted; Mr. Seymour defended the prisoner 'Linde, the other prisoner, by the advice of his counsel (Mr. Price), pleaded guilty. It appeared that the prosecutor on the 22_ Messrs. Hodge last year received a sum of 2651 . from M Hodge and Hurle, solicitors, Newcastle. Of this sum there were two notes of 1001. each, 451. 5/ notes, and the rest in gold. This sum the prosecu tor, who is a farmer, kept about his person until the 26th Dec. On that night he was drinking at the White Hart Inn, in the Low Bar, Grey-street, Newcastle, in company with two men named Jas. Reed and Wm. Donkin, and left there at 11 o'clock worse for liquor, alone. As he was going home up Collingwood-street he was overtaken by Reed and Donkin, and they all went into the Wellington Inn, in that street, where he had some more to drink. He then separated from them, and left the inn to go home about a quarter to 12 o'clock, and was pro ceeding up Marlborough-street, when he heard foot steps behind him, and saw two men. Immediately after a man threw his arms round his neck, and be was strangled until he became insensible, thrown down, and robbed of all the money on his person, and recollected nothing further until he found him self at home, bruised, and with a front tooth knocked out. He had afterwards charged Reed and Donkin with being the two men who had robbed him. The prosecution, however, did not rely on his testimony as to the persons who had robbed him. They called William Wise, the prisoner who bad pleaded guilty, who stated that on the night of 26th Dec. last year he and tke prisoner Riede lived in Gateshead, and a man named Winship lived in Winlaton, near Gateshead. On that night he was in the Charles XII. public-house with the prisoner Hinde and Winship and they left in company at a quarter to 12, when Hinde and Winship asked me to take a walk with them through the town. They all went towards the Cattle-market and along Marl borough-street, and while there Riede was at one aide of the street and he and Winship on the other, when the prosecutor passed them in the middle of the road and spoke to witness and Winship. While his face was turned towards them Hinde crossed from the other side of the street, and rushing upon Owley, put his arms round his neck as described by the prosecutor. Winship said to witness, " Come over, here is some money to be got ;" and they then rifled the prosecutor'spockets of 2661. 7s. 6d. They then all ran away across Knoe's field towards the river, towards the wrestling ground, where there is a gaslight, when the prisoner Hinds took the money out of a fiat purse and they divided it ; after which they crossed the bridge into Gateshead and walked from there to Winlaton to Winship'a mother's, to whom Winship gave one of 1001.-notes, part of his share, and she said she would keep it till it could be changed, and placed it in an old dress. They then went to a publichouse kept by a man named Reed, to whose wife he offered the other 1001. note to change as a 101. note, and she told him it was a 100/. note, and he then took it away. Mrs. Reed was called and corroborated this statement. A man named Johnson proved that on the night in ques tion he was in Marlborough-street at a quarter to 12, when he saw a man fall and three men run away, leavin.; the men senseless. That man was the prosecutor. A boy also proved that the day fol lowing he found a 5/. note on the road which these three men had taken. It was also proved that ou some of liinde's friends calling to see him at the prison he was overheard to t e ll th em " to call on Mrs. Wise and to keep her sweet." Early in the last year Winship and the prisoner Hinde had es caped from the gaol, and the prisoner only had been recaptured. On the part of the prosecution the testimony of the prisoner Wise was relied on, corroborated as it was by the evidence of the other witnesses. For the defence it was contended that these witnesses were none of them free from taint, and that Wise had said unless 201. were given to him he would give evidence against the other prisoner. His Lordship having summed up, The jury found the prisoner guilty, and His Lordship sentenced Hinds to be confined in penal servitude for 15 years, and Wise to penal servitude for six years. John O'Harrow, aged 21, and Wm. Daley, 23, were indicted for having, on the 20th Sept. last, attempted to drown John Blackpool, with intent to kill and murder him. Mr. Price and Mr. Greenhow prosecuted ; and Mr. Seymour defended O'Harrow, and Mr. Davi son the prisoner Daley. It appeared that the prosecutor, who was mate of a ship moored at the quay-side, had been out chinking on the night in question in the town, and was going on board Ins ship between 11 and 12 o'clock, when he was suddenly seized by four men, two of whom were the prisoners at the bar, thrown down, and a pocket of his trousers containing his money turned inside out and cut off. While thus on the ground helpless the men seized him by the legs and body, and deliberately threw him over the quay—ide into tae river, in deep water. The prose cutor was not so stunned as to be unable to try to keep himself afloat, and he contrived to get between his vessel and the quay wall, and by means of his elbows and holding on by projections of the wall to support himself until he was got out of his perilous position. A little girl named Catherine Riley, who had been selling crockery ware in the market near, was passing close by ;it the time with her basket, and said she saw five men go towards the prosecutor as he was going on board his ship, and saw one of the men walkaway, and heard him say as he was goingaway, " If you are going to rob the man and drown him, I will have nothing to do with it." She then siw the other four men, as described, throw the prose cutor down, rifle his pockets as described, and throw him afterwards into the river. The men then ran away, and she leaned over the quay-side to give the man a hand to help him up, and nearly fell into the river herself in doing so. She spoke positively to the two prisoners as being two of the men, and said she had known them both before. When one of them ran away the others cried after him, " If you acutch we will kill you." A policeman on duty on the bridge spoke to seeing the two prisoners and other two men running over the bridge, and after wards, ou going to the quay-side, he saw the pro secutor getting out of the river ou to the quay very wet and dirty. The prisoners' counsel having addressed the jury on their behalf, His Lordship summed up, and the jury found both prisoners guilty. They were sentenced to 20 years' penal servitude each. POLICII INTELLIGENCE—Dec. 24. MANSION-HOUSE.--Several of the fel lows who have been for a length of time loitering about Leadenhall-market with tho intention to plunder were charged with having stolen poultry, and convicted and sentenced in petty sessions, b fore the Lord Mayor and Alderman Rose, to various terms of imprisonment with hard labour. Johanna Callaghan a street-walker who has been in the habit of robbing gentlemen on their return from convivial entertainments, was committed for three months as a rogue and vagabond. She had been- treated to - a ride in a cab on a very rainy night - by a gentleman, who thought she wa3 an object of compassion, and listened to a very sorrowful history of her troubles, during the re cital of which s h e con t r i ve d to ste al all the money he had about him, and hand it out at the win dow to an accomplice who had watched the cab. The prosecutor, suddenly finding that all his money was gone, ordered the cabman to drive to Bow lane station, and there charged the prisoner, who said that she was as honest a woman as ever came from Ireland, and that she never before knew what a prison was, but what could a poor woman do among such a host of bad people ? William Regan was sentenced to imprisonment for three months for having attempted to rob John Whelan of hii watch in L' &den hall-market. The prisoner, it was stated, had followed the proseeutor in the market, and the moment an nPoitunity pre sen t e d it se lf took the wa+ch out of hia waistcoat, but could not break it from the gn, and was caught with it in his hand. the'"matirj:et,ner said, the crowd was enormous in was the thie 7d it was quite impoisilile to say who quite confident that he never had en g,, bu t i hn wa B of the kind, and he could refer to hi e o h: an ything n o b a g a,numbe . r of years as 3 proof that he had r h a a acte : kind. ~...-aa experience of any WORSH IP- STREET..... ja _ , men Altred Ellarman, a young time of respectab l e PPpwranee, descrit 0(1 as a trimm;ng m au u fact urer, residing at 27 street, B 11 was c h a rged , Amehrir on F illspieion ~f having wilfully set tire t his llr , use, ant can Befi. the death of three of his lodgers, name.l J ohn, Anne, and Julia Metcalfe. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, at ten d e d for the pro, c aution, and Mr. Sleigh appeared for the defendant. Mr. Lewis called the following witnesses. Police -constable Andrews, H 38, said—On the morning of Saturday, the 19th inst., between 1 2 and 1, while on d u ty i u A nc h or - s t ree t, Bethnal green, I met the priso ner , w h o h a d j u st c om e out of a publichouse immediately opposite his own resi dence. Ho at once said, "Policeman, I have j ust been robbed, and my house has been stripped of 60/. worth of goods, consi3tieg of my own and wife's ' clothes and jewellery." He added, "It had such an effect on me that I made an attempt to cut my throat ; put your finger up and feel "itl did so, and felt something like a scratch. I asked him who he suspected, and he said, "My wife and my wife's mother," adding, "Iwishyou would seaach the pre ' mises." I told him to go and see the inspector of the station. He replied, "No, I will not ; can I get a search warrant ?" I said, " No, you cannot at this hour of the night." He then observed, " I shall leave it until the morning," and asked me to have something to drink. I refused, and he left, and returned to the Compasses public-house. I saw him again at half-past 1 o'clock, an hour after wards ; he was carrying a gallon can of beer. He bade me good night, and entered his house. I next saw him at three o'clock the same morning. He was then in Anchor-court, nearly opposite his house. I asked him what he was doing there, and he returned some trivial answer. By Mr. Ilammill—He appeared in liquor when I first saw him. He exhibited a swaggering man ner. He appeared worse at three o'clock, but not so bad that I should have taken him into custody for drunkenness. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—When I saw him in the front and spoke to him, be asked, "Do you know me ?" I replied, "I do, your name is Har man." We then walked down the court, and he observed, " I shall go in and go to bed ;" but in stantly added, No, I shall go to my brother's, or brother-in-law, at the West-end, and get him to look after my premises." At that moment I looked across, and saw what I believed to be gas burning in the house. I saw it through the crack in the shutters ; then I saw smoke issuing from the top part of the shutters. I said, " Good heavens, Har man, your house is on fire, and do you know it 1" He said, " Where, where '?" We both ran across the road. I gave an alarm by springing my rattle. The lower part of the premises was then in flames. He ran against the door and forced it open with his body. He tried to enter, but could not, in conse quence of the flames. He then ran to the side-door, and tried to force it, but it would not give. I sent for the fire escape, and returned to the front of the house. It was then I saw a woman with a child at the windowof the second floor. About 3or 4 minutes had elapsed since I had left the front of the house pre viously. The prisoner, I believe, has not made any remark. Prisoner afterwards went to the door of the next house, where his mother-in-law re sides. I think the door was by that time open, and I did not see him again. The woman at the win dow was in her night dress. Sergeant Egerton—On the morning in question I went to the house, which I found in flames, and heard some persons exclaim that there were peoples inside who had made their way to the top. I went to the adjoining house, No. 28, and ascended to the attic, where I saw the prisoner and two civi lians holding him, as he was evidently in extreme excitement. Sergeant Purchase then entered, and he was conveying him down stairs, wh en p r i soner exclaimed, " Th ere are people still in the house to whom I have just been speaking." I then made my way along the parapet, and forcing open one of the windows of the next house, called out loudly, but received no reply. The smoke was suffocating, and the flames extended halfway across the road. The fire-escape then arrived, and was placed against No. 28. The conductor, however, could not, in consequence of the extreme heat, btain access to the burning premises. I afterwards saw three bodies brought down lifeless, and soon after saw the prisoner, and said to him, " From what I have heard, I think there is something very serious about this business," and on asking him if he had been in the court referred to, he answered in the negative. I then asked, " Has your house been robbed 1" He replied, "No, it has not," and said be had not stated so to the policeman. In answer to further questions, the accused emphatically as serted his iunocence of any complicity in the trans action. After some further evidence, the c)unsel for the prosecution required a remand, as he would on a future day be enabled to call witnesses of im portance, and Mr. Hammill, observing that there appeared a strong prima facie case against the prisoner, re manded him, at the same time refusing an urgent appeal for bail to be put in. on a rock, and crawled up out of reach of the sea. An ttempt was made to launch the jolly-boat, but as the bow tackle fouled and would not run, we had no means of savin g our li ves excep t b y th e life ' buoy, as the life-boat was stove in when the vessel broke. The lead was not hove during the passage. The body of the stewardess (who was a fine young woman, 24 years of age), in her night-dress, has been washed ashore, as also two of the seamen. The wreck was witnessed by a large number of persons on the shore, who were unable to render the least aid to the unhappy crew in consequence of the heavy sea which kept rolling in. The sufferers were observed to be washed off by two and three. Most of the crew were married, and have left families. The ship and cargo are insured. TOTAL LOSS OF THE SHIP WALLACE, OF LEITH. HORRIBLE SUFFERINGS, AND DEATH OF THREE OF THE CREW. By the arrival in the Mersey, on Wednesday night, of the barque Colina, of and from St. John's, N. 8., Captain Robyns, we have the particulars of the total lass of the ship Wallace, of Leith, Capt. Cormea, and the dreadful sufferings of the crew, who remained on the wreck during a period of 11 days without food or drink, except the body of a dog, and what water they could secure during short intervals of rain. Tha details are horrible in the extreme, and we relate them as they were received from the lips of six of the crew of the ill-fated vessel, who were on Wednesday night brought on shore from the Celina, and conveyed to the Sailors' Home, at Liverpool. It appears that the Wallace was a full rigged ship, and sailed from the Clyde on the 10th Aug., coal laden, for Quebec, having a crew of 21, all told. During the passage out little else but gales of wind was experienced—she carried away her masts, and ultimately reached Quebec under jury-rig. On the 14th Nov. the Wallace sailed from Quo bec, timber laden, for Greenock. Shortly atter putting to sea a gale of wind came on and conti nued with little intermission until the 7th inst., when the ship was about 800 miles distant from Cape Clear. Soon after 12 o'clock on that day, while the hands were at work at the pumps, a tre mendous sea struck the ship, and capsized her, the crew having to crawl up the lanyards to escape being drowned. After great exertions they cut away the lanyards, when the main and mizen masts fell. The ship shortly afterwards righted, when another sea struck the bowsprit and carried it away, and also the foremast, and at the same time sweeping the deck of all that was left, and washing overboard Mr. Lindsay, the chief officer, and the steward (be longing to Devonport, but whose name the crew could not recollect), and they were unfortunately drowned. The remainder of the crew held on by the wreck all that afternoon, night, and a part of next day, when 'he gale abated. On the Bth they were enabled to ascertain that the hatches and deck had been forced up, the poop cabin cleared ofits contents, and that not a morsel of provisions was to be obtained The weather having further moderated, the crew cut away the wreck from the ship's side, and made further search for food. Ultimately a couple of casks of water were discovered in the fore hold, and half a bucket of biscuit ' • but on the oth a sea stove th e water casks, and th us was lost what the men were now craving. On the 10th the poor fellows had be come greatly exhausted from hunger, thirst, cold, and wet—indeed their sufferings can be more easily imagined than described. No vessel had hove in sight, and their hunger now lacame of that cha racter that they could eat anything, when it was determined to kilt and divide the dog, which was done—a small portion being consumed by each, un cooked, for they had no fire. On the 11th and suc ceeding days shower of rain fell, and the poor fel lows managed to catch a small quantity, but not suf ficient to allay their parching thirst, whilst small bits of their once favourite dog were the only food they had from the 7th to the 17tla Dec., on which day the joyful cry of " a sail" was given, and ulti mately the Colina, Capt. Robyns, bore down, took the crew off the wreck, got them on board, behaved in the most kind and humane manner to them; but care was then necessary for their treatment, for although well nigh exhausted, their appetites were ravenous. An apprentice, who was insensible when taken off the wreck, died soon afterwards. The captain (Cormea) and all the crew, except the three above named and the six now at the Li verpool Sailors' Home, remain on board the Colinda, being too ill, from swollen feet, dm, to be imme diately removes. The ship Frank Pierce, which arrived at Liver pool on Tuesday last, fell in with, on Dec. 13, in lat. 48 N., lon. 33 W., the Norwegian ship Espin dola, off Porsgrund, Funnemark, master, water logged and abandoned, with decks swept, and sails blown away. The following particulars of the Espindola have been ascertained:--The Espindola sailvd. from Que bec the 14th Nov. and encountered strong north erly wind{ until Monday, the 30th Nov., when the wind iocrea-ed to making a violent gale, the ship labouring heavily, and making much water ; the crew constantly at the pumpq, and the water gain ing on them. At midnight lost the bulwarks 01 the starboard side. On Tuesday, the Ist Dec., gale increasing, at 8 p.m. shipped a sea that car ried away the skylight and tilled the cabin with water. On Monday, the 7th, the crew constantly at the pumps, but could not reduce the water. At 1 8 a.m. saw a ship to the S. W. ; made sail and stood towards h- r ; at 10 a.m. hoisted a signal of distress ; at 3 p.m. the stranger, observing our sig nal, hove down upon us ; it proved to be the Ame rican, Captain Potts, of andfrom St. Johns, N. 8., bound to Liverpool. Capt. Funnemark went ou hoard, when Captain Pots immediately offered to lie and take us all off. The captain then returned on board, and sent one boat to the ship, with a quantity of clothing and four hands. After discharg ing the boat the crew attempted to return to the Es pindola, but, from the increasing wind, found it im possible to make her, and returned to the Ameri cana. The second boat then came alongside, with seven hands, and also full of clothing ; but, from the increasing wind and sea, almost immediately filled, the crew barely escaping with their lives. Captain Potts being informed by the crew that the captain did not intend to leave the ship until the return of the other boats which he had sent to the Americana, and they both being stove and lost, and the night pitch dark, with a heavy sea running, found it impossible to render any further assistance, kept the ship by the wind until 8 a.m., with hands aloft to look out fir the Espindola. At that time, nothing being in sight, the Americana resumed her course. Tto much praise cannot be given to Cap tain Potts for having come to their rescue so soon ; nor could the kindness and attention of both Cap tain and Mrs. Potts be exceeded, which will be ever remembered by those saved.

A man who bas deposits in the Western to the amount of thousands —finds no difficulty in getting advances upon these in any of the other banks ; but depositors of the humbler class, whose means vary froai a one.pound not. up to perhaps 201. or 301., can find no such relief ; and yet they need it ten times more than those who can find succour ten times more easily.

The reinforcements for the 18th Royal Irish, 51st Light Infantry, 72d Highlanthrs, 83d, 86th, and 98th Regiments, upwards of 200 men of all ranks, will leave Chatham garrison to-morrow, and embark at Gravesend on board the Salamanca for India. Yesterday the troops belonging to the 2d Battalion at Chatham were a'sembled on the general parade ground at Chatham Barracks for the purpose of hearing read the proceedings of a district court martial for the trial of Sergeant Foord, of the 90th Light Infantry, on a charge of drunkenness. The sentence of the Court was read by Captain Roney, the adjutant of the battalion, the prisoner being reduced to the rank and pay of a private. nam e " diately after the sentence had been read, th e senior sergeant-major was di rec t e d t o cu t th e " s t r ipes" off the prisoner's arm i n th e presence o f th e whole battalion.

ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. At the last sitting M. Pelouse read a report on a paper by M.G6lis, entitled "On the Action of Heat on Neutral Organic Substances," divided into two parts ; the fist comprising all that relates to the action of beat on saccharine substances, and the second containing ail the facts relat ing to starch and iectike. Having confirmed the fact that the volatile products resulting from the decomposition of sugar are solely composed of partieles of steam, without the slightest trace of permanent gases, M. Gels has examined the fixed residues obtained by the operation. These residues, far from consisting of a single substance, contain three different ones, which are successively obtained by continuing the action of heat for a sufficient length of time. These three substances he has callei caramelane, coramelene, and carameline, the three different vowels in the last syllable marking the order in which they are produced during the operation. They differ in taste, appearance, and colouring power. They are-decomposed by several teats, and especially by acids. Caramelane only differ s f rom sugar by a deficiency of two equivalents of water, and, like sugar, it contains twelve equivalents of carbon. Caramelene contains still less water, and thirty-six equivalents of carbon ; and carame line is almost anhydrous, and contains 96 equiva lents of carbon. The report concluded with re commending the insertion of M. Gilis's labours in the " Metnoires des Savants Etrangers.” Marebal Valliant and Admiral Du Petit-Thouars presented papers on the grape-blight, and M. Delavergne sent iu an apparatus for aulphurising vines. M. Vine wrote to claim the right of priority regarding M. Bousingault's observations respecting phosphate of lime as manure. (See Messenger, Dec. 5.) To this claim M. Bousingault replied that he bad not by any moans attributed to himself 'he discovery of the favourable action of phosphate of lime as manure, a fact which is by no means new; and that he only claimed to have proved that phosphate of lime un mixed withan notated substance did act produce Cie same salutary effects.—M. Waraksine sent in a description of a machine for sorting seeds. The contrivances at present in use merely separate seeds according to size, the largest being preferred for sowing ; M. Waraksine, on the contrary, has suc ceeded in sorting them by weight, that being the most important element for securing a good crop, as he has ascF.rtained by numerous experiments. His system consis 'sin letting the seeds fall vertically ups n an inclined plane under the action of a horizontal current of air. The heaviest seeds fall vertically, and are projected by the inclined plane to a par ticular spot ; while the lighter seeds, in receiving the impression of the current, deviate from the vertical line, and are projected elsewhere. — M. Maumene communicated a paper on alcholic fermentation, establishing ; 1. That sugar may be THE SOLAR ECLIPSES OP 1858. On this subject M. Faye has just read an inte resting paper, with a view to call the attention of astronomers to the questions which may be either entirely solved or at least considerably elucidates by the observation of those important phenomena. What, he asks, is the sun ? It is a fiery globe com posed of two concentric parts of very unequal den sities. The inner part constitutes a spherical nucleus, and the outer one a kind of very extensive atmosphere. At a certain distance from the centre this atmosphere is covered with a continuous sphe rical layer of a peculiar kind of clouds, which are luminous and constitute the fiery globe visible to us, the photosphere of the sun. Under this principal layer there is the comparatively dark surface of the nucleus ; and above the photosphere there are the last highly rarefied and usually invisible strata of the general atmosphere. From the nucleus gaseous eruptions issue, partially dissipating and extinguish ing the luminous clouds of the photosphere, nay rising beyond it into the extreme strata (which only become visible by a faint light at the time of an eclipse), where they form those torrents of va pour known by the name of rose coloured protu berances. The volume of these vapours is some times a thousand, and even two thousand times the size of our globe. M. Faye now draws a parallel between the present condition of the sun as above described, and what must have been the state of our earth when the crest which now cm ceals its central fire was not yet formed. It was then a diminutive sun ; the whole mass of its waters swam in the atmosphere under the form of steam, with the immense mass of carbonic acid which has since been absorbed by calcareous matter. These vapours, which were invisible and transparent in the vicinity of the then liquid nucleus, were con densed at a considerable altitude, so as to form a continuous involucrum of white clouds brilliantly illuminated by the rays of the sun. Seen from a distance, our earth must have presented this pho tosphere to the eye. Immediately above it there must have been the last strata of air in a high state of rarefaction, and therefore incapable of support ing any of those luminous clouds or aqueous vapours ; immediately below there must have been a layer of dark clouds or fogs constantly dissi pated by the radiation of the nucleus ; and lower still a dense atmosphere weighing upon the still denser smoke, incessantly issuing from the nucleus. M. Faye concludes this hypothetical picture by supposing that volumes of gas did at times penetrate through the photosphere, pro ducing gaps in the stratum of white clouds ; in which case a distant observer would, through these gaps, have seen the dark nucleus of the earth, just as we at present see that of the sun through the gaps iu its photosphere, which appear to us as (lark spots. Now, whether this theory really ex plains the process actually in progress in the sun can only be ascertained by an exact observation of eclip ses. The eclipse of Sept., 1858, will only be central and total to the inhabitants of the southern conti nent of America, where there are but few astrono mers and observatories. M. Faye, however, pro poses to establish two observatories for the occasion —one at Ignape, on the coast of Brazil, and other in Peru, at 1i deg. south cf Cape Blanco. But the first eclipse, which is to take place next March, though not central as regards France, will b 3 very neatly so : for the spot whence it might be seen is only 32 kilos. from the island of Ouessant ; and an observer stationed on that island will see the eclipse with a deviation of only 14 seconds from the centre. At Brest the observation would not be so favoura ble, the minimum of breadth in the solar crescent being 25 seconds ; at Paris it will be 3 min. 22 sec., a very unfavourable condition for observing the physical condition of the sun. M. Faye now points out various precautions to be taken by astronomers in making their observations. First he advises them to (I ive.t themselves of all preconceived theo retical notions,which,might induce them to neglect esse , tial circumstances for others the importance of which may be mere matter of opinion. They ought therefore to mark down the situation of the solar spots on the day before and the day after the eclipse, in order to see whether they really coincide wi-h the protuberances observed during the obscu ration. Secondly, the observer should husband his eyes—that is, avoid looking at the sun or re ceiving its direct rays, until the very moment of th 3 observation ; else ho may be unable to see all the expected phenomena with sufficient nicety. Thirdly, in order to avo id the i rregu l ar refractions caused by the air within the tube of the telescope, when rarefied by long exposure to the sun, the in strument ought to remain covered w:th a white cloth, having previously been pointed to the proper spot in the heavens until the moment when the observation is to begin. This precaution, M. Faye contends, is of the greatest importance, and its being neglected is the cause of frequent error. So great indeed is the effect of this refraction that the disc of Saturn has sometimes been seen in . the form of a square, with its angles slightly rounded (IL THIC NAMMS AND TOPOGRAPHY OP LYDIAN TOWNS AND .STAT,ONS. Every fresh telegram makes " confusion worse con founded " of Indian topographical nomenclature ; and home readers are but too frequently at a loss to under stand the exact situations of particular towns, stations, and districts which have been affected by the mutinies. The cause of frequent mistakes being made in the names of places is, that so many towns and districts in Hindos tan are designated by one and the same name, or nearly so. With the view of assisting the read er , we d evo t e a few li ing the prin c i pa l i nstances in which Indian confused by a d ua l nomenclature. We set out by referring to the moot remar k a bl e i n - n lines typography to speci speci fy ing is stance of the same designation being a tt ac h e d t o t wo important, but widely-different places. Hyderabad, the territory of the Niz%m, is described by Thornton. in his " Gazetteer," as a " realm of Southern India ; " the name by which it is thus distin guished being that of the city which is its capital. "It is bounded on the N.-B. by the territory of Nagporo, on the S.-E. by a part of the Madras presidency and Kur nool, on the W. by Bombay, and on the N. W. by Crwa her, Sa,ugor, and Nerbudda." A large subsidiary force is maintained by the British Government under treaty with the Nizam. This Hyderabad is distant from the presidency of Madras 398 mile-, from B om b a y 434 m il es , and from Calcutta 972 miles. The other Hydrabad, sometimes spelt Hyderabad, is in Scinde, being far away from the above-named native state, and is a station dis tant 1,626 miles from Calcutta, 1,541 f rom Madra•,, and 634 from Bombay. It is attached to the Bombay Presi dency. _ . There are two Berhampores. 'That in the Bengal Pre sidency is 118 miles distant from the Presidency ; it was one of the first of the numerous stations that have bean affected by the rnntini,s. On June 21 two native regiments stationed at Berhampore mutinied, and the Europeans fled to the protection of the Nawab who proved friendly. The other Berbampore is situated in the Madras Preedency, o heitig distant (ram the letter 632 miles, 1,015 from Bombay, and 382 from Calcutta. There rro two stations with the similar names of Col nab and Culneab in B n,al ; the one being 52, a' d the other 118 miles from Calcutta. There are the stations I/napore and Dinajepore, in the same Presidency ; the former being 376 miles from Calcutta, and the latter 259 miles. Dinapore, it will be recollected, was the scene of the mutiny of two sepoy regiments. Karnaol and Kurnool (indifferently spelt Kurnool) are places situated nearly 1,000 miles from Calcutta. Kuresal is in Bengal, while Kurnool is in the Madras Presidency. We next cite the towns of !dhow or Mow. In Mhow, which is a state or province, there has been a rebellious outbreak, which was, however ; suppressed. The dis trict is situate in the Bombay Presidency, 360 miles from Bombay. The other place, designated " Mow," is a town of Bengal, 726 miles from Calcutta. Again, there are two " Sultanpores ;" Sultanpore, in Bengal, is 436 miles from Calcutta. Sultanpore, in Oude, being 525 miles from the Presidency of Bengal. Saugor and Saugor Island, indifferently named Saugor in accounts from India, are places in Bengal, as wide apart as they are opposite id nature. The Saugor, so often alluded to as the unfortunate station and garrison beleaguered by h e m Nerbudda territories, at n o grea t distance from the dis turbedt t erritory is the chief town in the Saugt.r and ofOnde. Saugor Island bounds the t n entrarc: of the river Roughly, near Calcutta. There are the town of Gwalior and the state of Gwalior, in Bengal; and again the town of Malwa and the state of Malice, in the Bombay Presidency ; the city of Lahore and the province of Lahore, in the Punjaub; the town and tet ritetry of Patna ; Bundelkund southern and nor thern divis..ae ; East Burd wan and We it Burdwan. We believe we have ni;;giver7all the inatance4 of im portance in which the designationa are identical. — Morning Advertiser.

TOTAL LOSS OF THE EARL OF CARRICK, STEAMER—ALL HANDS EXCEPT TWO LOST —STATEMENT OF THE SURVIVORS. In this journal of Wednesday appeared a brief notice of a screw steamer having gone ashore on the Isle of Man, bound from Ayr to Liverpool, and it was supposed that all on board except two ha 4 perished. We regret to confirm that statement. The ill-fated vessel proved to be the Earl of Carrick, iron screw steamer, commanded by Capt. Albany, 300 tons, builders' measurement, belonging to the Messrs. T. and W. Paton and Co., Liverpool. She left Ayr on Saturday with a cargo of pig iron, - wheat, potatoes, rye-grass, ttc. Fortunately she had only one passenger—Capt. R. Paton, who formerly commanded a small vessel trading between Liverpool and Ayr. The annexed statements of the two survivors, taken on oath by the Receiver of Wreck at Douglas, will be found to contain the details of the catas trophe. John Lyon, seaman, on board the Earl of Car rick, deposes—We left, Ayr at 12 o'clock at noon on the 9th Dec., with a south-westerly wind, steering S. W. by W.; continued in that course about five hours, when we sighted Port Patrick, and altered the course to S. W. by S., which we continued about an hour, after which I steered S.S.W. until we made the Mull of Galloway, when I changed to S. by E., on which we saw the Point of Ayr light on our starboard bow, and, I then steered S.S.E., the proper course for Liverpool. When I left the wheel, David Bailey took my place, and sailed S.W. by S., about two hours. William Lawson succeeded him, and steered S.S.W. till about half-past two o'clock, a.m., keeping the vessel up in consequence of the strong current carrying her northwards, and having lost sight of the Point of Ayr light in the darkness caused by thick rain. James Watt then took the helm, still steering S.S. W., until about five o'clock, s.m., when we opened the lights of the Calf of Man, it hich appeared (from the heavy sea roiling the vessel) to be sometimes on our starboard bow, and sometimes right a head. When we thus discovered our dangerous proximity to the shore, we at once brailed up the foresail and mainsail (which had been set at about half-past 8 p.m.) The helm was put hard s p or t t o b r i ng the vessel's head to the westward, clear of the breakers. At this time the engines were stopped, and I went to the engineer and told him to reverse the engines full speed ; that we were then close on the rocks. The captain called out to know who ordered the engines to be s:opred, and I told him that I had ordered them to be reversed to keep clear of the land. But the heavy sea was too strong for the vessel, and she was driven on to the rocks at Dalby Point, about six miles from Peel, in the Isle of Man, at about five o'clock on the morning of the 20th inst. The "Vessel was supplied with a life-boat and a jolly-boat, and two life-buoys ; but as soon as she struck the vessel broke into two parts athwart ' ships, the bows falling away sideways into compa ratively deep wai er, and car rying the life-boat and captain and two men along with it. Oa the after part, which remained stuck on the rocks, 10 of the crew, with the stewardess and one passenger (the only one on board), collected, and we tried to get off the jolly-boat, but the bow tackle would not run, and she was at once stove in ; so that our only hope wa , , to reach the shore by swimming and using the two life-buoys. These were taken by James Watt (who has been saved) and the chief engine r, who, however, could not reach the shore. We had three compass's on loud. One was placed about 21 feet from the wheel, and another about 20 feet further forward, and the other in the cabin. They were not at all in good order, and not c ir rect, as we had found on a previous voyage from Liverpool to Ayr. The lead was not hove at all during the voyage. The vessel was inspected in October 1 ist, at Troon, by a Government inspec tor. She was well found in rigging and tackle. I saved myself by swimming until I reache 1 the rock, when a rope was thrown to me by per s )ns en the shore, who exe,rted themselves to the utmost to save the lives of the crew, and I was drawn to the land. I leave teen seaman on board the Earl of Car rick 17 months; the captain joined about a n - ionth be fore I did. The captain wason deck all the last watch, when the vosel struck ; both he and all on board were perfectly sober. Ido not think that anything more could have been done to rescue the crew, as no boat could have lived iu the breakers at the t m Jamey Watt, seaman, says—l took the helm soon aftc-r 12 o'clock at midnight. I steerred the vessel S.S.W., making allowance of two points for the variation of the cunpasses, which I knew to be in correct. About 5 o'clock on the morning of the 20th the second ma►.e ran aft to me to apk "Could I say what light that was ahead ?" and on looking out I discovered they were the Calf of man lights, and that we ware close on a jeashore. The tights were only visible fiir a moment, because of the spray washing over the vc ssel. (He then confirms Lyons' staterisent as to what was then done, and the ship S Aiklug.)
