HARRISON N application was made on Thursday, the 25th September, before his Honour Vice-Chancellor Sir G rge Turner, at Bath, on behalf of Mr. William Milner, as -4 Executor of the late Thoinas Milner, the Patentee of an Inven tion of "Improvements in Boxes, Safes, or other Depositories for the Protection of Papers or other materials from Fire," for an injunction to restrain the defendant, John German Harri son, of Liverpool, his agents, servants, &c., from making, using, putting in practice, or vending, or procuring to he made, &c., during the remainder of the term meotfoned in the Letters Patent granted to Mr. Thomas Milner, any Boxes, Safes, or other depositories made in such the like manner, or on the same or the like principle as Dr€ said Thomas Mil ner's Invention, or in anywise coun feiting, imitating, •r resembling the said Invention. Mr. Webster appeared for the intiff, and Mr. Shebbeare for the defendant, and affidavits ' support of and in opposition to the motion were read. Mi er's invention consisted in the use of substances, distrib ed in an absorbent material in spaces between the outer d inner casings of the Box, which substances, when expo to heat, evolved steam •r moisture, the combined effect ,df the moisture and the material, kept humid, protecting tfie Safes, enclosing papers, &c., from fire. The defendant sold Safes and Boxes, which he represented to be made under a Patent granted to Messrs. Tann, of Lon don, but which the piaintiff contended were substantially made according to Milner's Invention, and were an infringe ment on his Patent. An action had been brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for the infringement, and tried in June last, before Lord Chief Justice Campbell and a special jury, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, the defendant's counsel tendering a Bill of Exceptions to the direction of the learned judge on the construction of Mr. Milner's specification. Notwithstanding this verdict, the defendant Harrison had continued to sell the Boxes and Safes complained of, and the affidavits filed by the plaintiff proved the recent sale by defen dant of a Safe, which scientific witnesses stated was substan tially the same as those proved on the trial, and found to be an infringement. This was verified by Doctor Muspratt whose analysts accompanied his affidavit. The affidavit of Mr. John Tann stated that he believed this Safe had been made by him and his partners, and he alleged that it was made according to hoir enorifienti on - His HONOUR stated the principle on which the Court inter fered in cases of this kintl, and observed that Tann's specifi cation appeared to contemplate only a dry non-conductor to atop the heat, whereas Ililner's created a further obstruction to the fire, by producing at the period when the fire began to act on the box an effusion of steam, which pervaded the non conducting material with moisture, and thereby protected the Safe and its contents. His Honour adverted to the ong enjoy ment of the Patent which was granted in 1840, the result of the trial at law, and the clear opinioni n the plaintiff's favour expressed by the Lord Chief Justice, and in which his Honour concurred, stating that he considered Milner's was a Patent claiming every mode by which the liquid. &c., might be em ployed to moisten the absorbent material; and he concluded by granting the injunction in sue terms of the motion. PRESERVATION OF BOOKS. DEEDS ; &c., I'ROM FIRE COURT OF QUEEN S BENCH, JUNE 23RD, 1851, BEFORE LORD CAMPBELL AND A SPECIAL JURY MILNER v. HARRISON. (The latter selling Tann': Safes and Boxes, and advertising himself as soi:e proprietor of 7'ann's Patent Safes, Chests, 4.c.) The above trial was instituted for the purpose of vindicating the exclusive right, on the part of the Plaintiff, of applying liquids, or materials evolving moisture on the application of heat, together with ether absorbent materials, within the chambers of Boxes, Safes, or Depositories, calculated to per vade the chambers and contents of the safes with moisture and steam, when heated by fire, thereby preserving the papers from ignition. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Webster, appeared for the Plaintiff; and Sir F. The siger, Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Hindmarsh, for the Defen dant. After ►he case had been stated by Mr. Crowder evidence was given by Mr. Grantham, of Liverpool, Civil Engineer and Surveyor of Steamers to the Board of Trade; Mr. Samuel Woods, jun., of London, formerly of Liverpool ; Mr. J. W. Filcher, of Liverpool ; Mr. Alderman Bennett, Ironfounder, •f Liverpool; Dr. Sheridan Muspratt, Professor of Chymistry, Liverpool ; Mr. John Smith, President of the Guardian Society, Liverpool ; Mr. B. Woodcroft, Professor of Machinery at the University College, London ; and by Mr. John Owens, one of the foremen of Milner's Works for the last twenty years, on the utility, originality, &c., of Milner's Safes—of which upwards of 25,000 are now in use—and also of the infringe anent of Milner's Patent by the Defendant, who was proved to have used the very materials in the Safes and Boxes he had tested and sold, which he had seen used by the Plaintiff's firm, when in their service as Shopman, from 7846 to 1849. This was followed by Sir F. Thesiger's reply for the Defendant, who called several witnesses, but whose testimony, on cross-exami nation, completely established the Plaintiff's case. Mr. Crowder finally addressed the Jury on the facts, and Lord CAMPBELL then summed up. This, he said, was an action for the infringement of a patent granted on the 26th of August, 1840, for certain alleged improvements in boxes for the protection of papers from fire. The defendant set up several defences, which he would not take exactly in their proper order. Ist. He said that there was no proper specifica tion of this patent. 2dly. That Milner, the patentee, was net the inventor ; also, that it was not a new invention, that it was not a useful invention ; and that, at all events, the defendant had not infringed the patent. He had taken the evidence very fully, and if the jury thought it would assist them he would read it over. The Jury intimated that they did not think it necessary. Lord CAMPBELL then said, he should shortly direct their attention to the several questions they were to determine, for they were all for their determination. With regard to the in fringement, he would repeat the direction he had before given them. Here was the specification, and although lie thought this issue was hardly disputed, they must consider whether an ordinary workman, of ordinary skill, looking at it, could make one of the boxes it described. The witnesses had said that an ordinary workman, in their judgment, would be able to do so. The next issue was with regard to the novelty of the inven tion. The third and fourth were so much alike that they might be taken as part of the same Question. It lay on the plaintiff to show that this was a new invention, thereso the and if he gave prima facie evidence that it w defen dant would have to show that it was not. Now cer tainly strong evidence on the part of the plaintiff to was show that it was new. It was for them to say whether it was properly an invention for the protection of papers against fire. papers The were locked in an iron box , having cases enclosed, leaing chambers between t e two cases, and the object was to have some substance that would give out a moisture upon the appli cation of the heat, and the steam thus produced was to be in. closed in the box and moisten the papers so that they might be preserved from the effects of fire. There had been several wit nesses of respectability on both sides, although several of those called for the defendant had only recently turned their atten tion to this subject. Several witnes ses for the plaintiff said that, although there bad been an addition to the old safe which consisted merely of a single iron box, duced of having an outer box, flu troducesome non-conducting substance, Of heat might be retarded much as possible ; PM Mr. nothing until W as the . finer's patent to moisten , by the operation of steam .

Now came the direction he should g ive them in point of law, and in this they must be guided by what he said. He thought there might be an infringement, although the de fendant did not use vessels, pipes, or tubes for containing: the liquid. All the rest he left to them ; but be only said that it was not indispensably necessary that the defendant should use pipes, tubes, or artificial vessels, but they were to consider whether the evidence was sufficient to convince them that the defendant bad infringed the patent. They would bear in mind that respectable professors from King's College, and other ries of learning, had been called for the defendant, and oved the infringement. t, for it evmence on the ground of infringe .as not taken out until nearly four years after but if, as it would appear that Harrison sold Tann's not say that they were not to look to Tann's if they came to the conclusion that tne coxes made were the same as those Milner described in his specie . They were to look on all the evidence on either side mg on these issues ; and if they thought that, although the xes that the defendant sold did not contain any pipes, tubes, Scial vessels for containing the liquid, they contained d other substances from which moisture was to he ex •--.. they were lubstantially the same as Nliiners, tney won't, pumitin and if they thought they were not the same as lilner's, for the defendant. They were at liberty to find that issue for the plaintiff, although the defendant did not use any pipes, tubes, or artificial vessels. If they thought the process was substan tially the same as that mentioned in the plaintiff's specification, they would find that issue for the plaintiff. 'they must bear in mind that the plaintiff said, " I claim as my invention the in application of the combined effect in chambered isitories of the moisture and material kept humid urrounding the innermost box, and its contents. 1y way being confined to the material or liquid or the manner in which it may be distributed or n the - spat Abontin ar employed ..,ged, in order to produce the desired effect of protecting .poxes, safes, or other depositories enclosing papers, or other materials, from fire." It was on the construction of these words that he had directed them in point of law, that the de fendant may have infringed the patent, although he did not make use of tubes, or pipes, or artificial vessels. With this exception, be left it for them to say if the defenckat had in fringed the patent ' • if they found that it was so, au ages not being in dispute, the sum of forty shillings would he sufficient: but they were to consider, themselves, which way they would find their verdict Jury, after a short deliberation, said they found their ssues for the VERDICT FOR THE PLAINTIFF establishirur the validity of Milner's Pa med by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor's nither proceedings in Chancery are being adopted against.al? parties Selling, Holding, or Using these Safes or Boxes. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 1, 1552. THE WEEK. WHETHER or not the weather has been adverse to liveliness, or the Derby and Cricketting have absorbed the attention of our community, certain it is that, except in the cotton and sugar markets, the past week has been one of the dullest which we have had for some time. Not a solitary squib—not a scintillation of wit or fun—has been emitted from amongst the many laboratories usually engaged on the eve of an election in the production of placards and other similar matters. The Conservatives pro ceed quietly with their canvass, like men who have made up their minds to substitute work for talk ; but their opponents—the Whig-Radical party—are, like poor WIDDRINGTOX, "in doleful dumps." An hysterical " Hurrah for CARDWELL and En ART" is the extent of their achievements. The latter gentleman's name seems to operate like a nightmare upon the spirits of the party ; and the Whig " aristocracy" still regard distastefully the allies with whom they have been forced into yoking themselves. Nearer and nearer as the struggle approaches, they seem to hear more plainly the direful warning— " Strike, oh ye bards, the melancholy harp, For this is the eve of death !" It is true that their scribes have made the most of the late " count out" in the House of Commons to damage the reputation of Mr. FORBES MACKENZIE, about whose Protestantism they affect to be under serious alarm. Upon a few weak people this trans parent dodge may produce a temporary effect ; but when it is explained that the " honourable member" —as the report generally runs on occasions when to give a name is unpleasant—who moved that the House be counted was Mr. HATTER, a member of Lord John Russell's Government, and that the parties most active in the attempt to shelve Mr. SPOONER'S motion were Peelites, the manoeuvre of our local Whig-Radical party to throw the onus of this transaction upon Mr. MACKENZIE will perhaps recoil upon themselves. Apropos of the dodges and " enormous lying," which a member of their own party once asserted to be the characteristics of Whig-Radical tactics, their local organs have been holding up their pure hands, in affected horror at an alleged misrepresen tation of their candidates, and of the League, made, or said to have been made, by a Conservative can vasser. But what ought to be said of a committee, who have the dishonesty to placard the walls with an assertion so reckless as that " THE GOVERN.. MENT HAVE BURRED THE MAYNOOTH QUES TTnN" : Liberalism must have a very mean opinion of the intelligence of the Liverpool people, to ima gine that, in an age of newspapers, such an assertion could be believed for four-and-twenty hours. Let them indulge in ribaldry and stale wit as much as they choose, but avoid deliberate story-telling ! The arrival of the Baltic on Wednesday morning, bringing news of the safe completion, by the splendid steam-ship Great Britain, of her voyage to New York, after a run of 13 days 51 hours against head seas, has delighted thousands amongst this community. Apart from the interest attached to the vessel herself, from her unfortunate antecedents, this passage, with the recent ones of the City of Glasgow, the City of Manchester, and the Glasgow, (screw-steamers,) may be considered as having settled a question most important to the country, and established the fact of an approaching triumph for England in ocean navigation. With our com mand of iron for shipbuilding, our admitted supe riority in machine and engine making, and with the screw as an auxiliary to sails, we may still defy much of the ruinous competition with which we are now assailed. To lay Manchester alongside the plains of the Mississippi was the declared object of Free Trade policy. The enterprise of British mer chants, however, and the science and skill of the British engineer, promise shortly to achieve the more important boon of bringing the splendid colonies of this country to our own doors. In a few years the antipodes will be within less than a couple of months of screw•steaming from Great Britain, and become more intimately connected with each other. New facilities will have been created for pouring their rich and varied products into our markets ; and our expatriated brethren, who have gone out to apply their energy and in dustry to these distant lands, will feel themselves drawn once more under the shelter of the protecting power of the mother country. With a wise and fostering colonial policy—such a policy as we hope for from the Government of the Earl of DERBY— what height of greatness is there which the British Empire may not shortly be enabled to attain ? Blessed with such aids, who can doubt the mission which is cast upon the Anglo-Saxon race as the pioneers of civilization throughout the world ? Reflecting men already see in this and kindred achievements of British energy and science the ap proach of a new era in England's and in the world's history. They see already the spectacle of these once insignificant islands, the ultima thule of bar barism, having become the central point of civiliza tion and Christianity—the great emporium and mart of a globe whose richest spots are our own, and whose hardy sons, speaking a common lan guage, may some day be gifted with the glorious privilege of advancing from east and west, from north and south, to the protection of the mother land which nursed and sent them forth. Yet, but a a few days ago as it were, we heard it said by the men of Manchester—" the centre of intelligence"— of what value are the colonies of England ? Get rid of them I They are costly to maintain ! By the men of Manchester and the West Riding this was said ; by the very men who are now crying out to us to send out men and money to Australia to prevent the direful calamity of their mills being stopped for want of wool! The selfishness of Liberalism is truly short-sighted. The prospects of the " independent" or anti- League candidates for Manchester are, we are assured, most flattering, and justify the expectation that one, if nut both, of the present members will have to look out for new quarters. On the first announcement of a contest for the borough, Mr. joHN BRIGIIT pooh-poohed the idea, and pro ceeded in his obstructive opposition to the Govern ment as ardently as if his seat was his own free hold. It was found necessary, however, by their friends, that both the honourable gentlemen should show up, and accordingly, on Tuesday last, they did so at the Free-trade Hall, which they had packed to the best of their power. The reception, however, was a cool one. " Old familiar faces" looked daggers, especially at JOHN BRIGHT ; and although the assembly had been admitted entirely by ticket, moral " Three cheers for HUGH rowE given much too heartily to he pleasant. ut " the unkindest cut of all" is the desertion of .e were - sex ,tchester Guardian. Our contemporary intimates that he shall take no part but he speaks out tolerably clearly, Mr. GIBSON, he tells the electors, ether a mind nor principles of his own, but a , lay in the hands of the dictatorial ie car es . by the 3 ntest BRIGHT wills, that Mr. GIBSON will do THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1852 and it would be perfectly hopeless to expect from him any separate or independent course of action. To return him to parliament is precisely equivalent to giving Mr. Bright two votes," This is amusing enough ; but the following is positively rich : "That ➢lr. Gibson thinks that he has opinions, and that he always adheres to them, we are fully prepared to believe. It is one of the commonest weaknesses of our frail nature to believe whilst we are being moulded to the purposes of others, that we are perfectly free agents, and merely obey the impulses of our own minds. Why, there is not a hen-pecked husband, or an old bachelor governed by his housekeeper, or the editor of a party newspaper dragged daily or weekly through the dirt by his friends.—who would not resent the imputation of being governed by others, and declare that, in all he said or did, he was actuated solely by his own inclinations. We have no doubt that Othello, when yielding to the instigations of lago, would have said and thought like Mr. Gibson, that he was acting on his own opinions, and was perfectly incapable of subjecting his reason and his will to the views and the purposes of others. Yet we know that he was' most innocently led by the nose,' as even members of parliament sometimes are." After such a rebuff from the most powerful organ of the Free-trade party, Mr. GIBSON had better at once advertise for a constituency. Such an adept at dirty work would be invaluable to some patrons of rotten boroughs. It is a pity, by-the-bye, that he was not in the market when the Whig-Radicals and Irish Romanists of Liverpool made their unhappy selection of Mr. EWART. A gentleman so used to be nose-led would have made an admirable colleague for Mr. CARDWELL. HOW THE WORKING MAN'S FOOD IS ENHANCED IN PRICE BY FREE TRADE. PRESUMING QUACKS assure us of the infallibi lity of their various nostrums, and there is equal quackery in legislation, and presumption amongst legislators. Free trade, we are told, is lin fait accompli. It came from the hand of its author and framer perfect, and it is, unlike all other works, beyond the improving power of human wisdom. The additional lights of experience shine upon it in vain, and even to modify it to advantage is regarded as impossible as "To paint the lily, Or add fresh perfume to the violet." We must, however, demur to this assumption, and shall endeavour to show that a very important fea ture in the settlement of the Corn-law question was propounded in ignorance of the effect which it would produce, and is operating most injuriously towards those classes for whose benefit the entire measure was professedly designed. When it was proposed that the duty upon colo nial and foreign manufactured Flour should be 41d. per barrel, the argument in favour of that regula tion was confined to the assertion of the fact, that such sum bore a fair relationship to the duty of Is. per quarter upon wheat. It was denied, and was perhaps not foreseen, that an advantage was to be conferred upon the foreign miller over the home manufacturer of flour. We were led to believe that our only competitors in this article would Ise the people of the United States and of Canada, against whom the expensiveness of inland car riage, combined with the comparative worthlessness of the coarse flour and offal left behind, would afford us a fair protection. A new competitor, however, promptly entered the field. France, which the free traders assured us could never be come an exporting country, was permitted by her rulers to grind and manufacture for us, in bond, the wheats of the north of Europe and the Medi terranean. A vast supply of French manufactured flour was thus poured in upon our markets, and forced into consumption, at prices against which neither the importer of foreign wheats, nor the British millers, could compete without the certainty of ruin. It has been estimated, by competent parties, that a virtual protection to foreign industry over British industry, engaged in milling, has thus been conferred, ranging from three shillings to five shillings per quarter; and, besides this, a continual downward pressure .has been created in our mar kets—for cargoes of flour, from their tendency to heat, and from other causes, are generally sold immediately on arrival—which has lowered the ruling prices of both British and foreign wheats to the extent of probably an additional two or three shillings. This effect of the introduction of the manufactured article at a low rate of duty, we re peat, was not foreseen by the framers of the Corn Law Repeal Bill. It never entered into their sta tistical calculations of the rates which would pre vail under the operation of the measure, and it partly accounts for their having so signally failed. _ • . No doubt we shall he told by the Free-traders that this anticipated degree of cheapness is a boon. To whom ? we may ask. To the consumers—to the industrious classes. 'We grant this, in part, if we are allowed to except from amongst those in ' dustrious classes said to be benefited that very numerous class engaged throughout the country in the various processes of corn-milling, who are esti mated to exceed the whole number employed by the cotton manufacture. The operatives in our manu facturing towns, no doubt, regard, as a guarantee of the continuance of such cheapness, the gigantic steps which are being taken by France to supply us with the manufactured article of flour; but the corn-millers of Great Britain and Ireland, and the numerous artizans employed by them, look upon the matter in a very different light—as fraught to them with ruin. These men complain that theirs should be the only manufactured article admitted into this country duty free, or virtually so, whilst the products of the industry of every other class are protected with heavy imposts. If manufactured flour, they ask, is thus to be imported free, why not manufactured bread ? Why not cotton and woollen yarns? Why not coats, trousers, dress of all de scriptions? Why not foreign manufactured tobacco, confectionery, spirits ? To make an exception against the milling interest may be free trade, but it is certainly not fair trade. We do not confine ourselves, however, to this view of the question, but contend that, practically, by our insane pursuit of the sort of cheapness created by ruining the British miller, we are losing very important advantages to the industrious classes, and virtually enhancing the cost of the food of our own people. This may seem a hold asser tion, but it is true. The poor man's pork, his bacon, his beef, and other necessaries, is enhanced by the diminution of our milling trade; and his loaf, even, is not now so large as it ought to he, when measured by the price of Wheat in our markets. The bakers in our large towns complain that a sound article for that description of bread is with difficulty procurable. The rich man's white loaf, made of the fine flour of France and America, is cheapened; whilst the wholesome materials of the poor man's loaf are kept by these countries to form the cheap food of their own working classes, or to ' feed their cattle and pigs. To supply our own cat tle with food we have to resort more extensively to the potato and other roots, which are at this moment doubled in price to the human consumer. To feed our horses we have to resort more extensively to oats, which are thus enhanced in price, out of pro portion with wheat, to the classes who use oatmeal as their food. And, so far as regards the manu facturing interests even, the effect is injurious. We were to have crippled the cheap producing power of Europe by raising prices of food there to the level of the British market ; and in part we may have succeeded. But by our absurdly patronising the milling power of France to the exclusion of our own, we have placed within the reach of the popu lation of that country an abundant and cheap supply of wholesome wheaten bread, beyond what they ever enjoyed before. We have supplied them also with the materials for feeding and fattening their cattle of all kinds, and thus placed within their reach an added source of human food. It is preposterous to tell us that a policy, which has produced these unexpected results, is not sus ceptible of some modification. We legislated in this matter upon calculations and estimates which experience has proved to be widely erroneous. Parliament never contemplated the possibility of what has occurred under the operation of this por tion of the measure of Sir ROBERT PEEL ; and it will surely not be tolerated that, because a portion of the community have unexpectedly received a present benefit to the injury of another, the injustice should be perpetuated. FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE The most prominent features in the intelligence from Paris are fresh warnings of newspapers and more refusals to take the oath of fidelity to the constitution. The re fusals come principally from members of the Council- General, no fewer than twenty-two more of whom have resigned their offices rather than swear allegiance to Louis Napoleon. Some of these gentlemen were formerly re presentatives, and bear names well known during the ex. istence of the Republic. The state of the national finances is far from encouraging, the receipts falling short of the expenditure. The Debats declares that there must be ad. ditional taxes imposed to make up the deficiency. Letters from Algiers mention some successes obtained by the French troops over the Kabyles in Little Kabylia; and in the west hostilities were in progress with similar results. An enzeute has-taken place at the Ecole de Saumur, a • )r training cavalry officers. Some militar of the scholars took to singing republican songs, and the others legitimist ; so that the battle lay between " Vive Henri IV" and " La Belle Gabrielle" on one side, and the " Marsellaise" and the " Girondins" on the other, while the cypher of Prince Louis Napoleon was trodden under foot. General Rampon, having put down the row by calling, in some troops, punished the refractory youths by eight days' of arrest. He then wrote a report of the affair to General de St. Arnaud, who sent back orders to increase the term of arrest up to a month. The Emancipation of Brussels has published a letter, which is copied into the Parisian journals, stating that the fusion, or reconciliation of the two branches of the Bour bon family is in fact concluded, and that the friends of the Count de Chambord and the Orleans princes have come to an understanding on the terms of a manifesto, the publication of which is adjourned for the moment. The Public contains a bold article in favour of the Empire, which unhesitatingly declares that it is no longer a probability, but a certainty ; not a system, but a neces sity; not a right, but a duty; and that to delay, when everything is ready for it, would be a flagrant injustice both to the President of the Reput lic and to France. SPAIN. Accounts from Madrid to the 20th instant, state that the chiefs of the Moderado party had drawn up a memorial to the Queen, praying her majesty to resist all changes in the fund amental laws. A new society for the navigation of the Mediterranean has been formed at Barcelona. Two large screw steamers had been ordered in England for that purpose, which were to be called Tharsis and Pelavo. PRUSSIA. On the 19th there was a grand review of the troops of the garrison at Berlin, by the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Russia. There was an immense crowd, and when the trobps filed off to the music of the National Hymn of Russia, there were loud and universal cheers. The Emperor of Russia had intended to leave Berlin on the 26th, but delayed his departure till the 27th, in order to admit of his being .present at the celebration of the " Silver Bridal," or 25th anniversary of the marriage of the Prince and Princess Karl of Prussia. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA, By the arrival, on Sunday afternoon, of the Royal Mail steam-ship Europa, Lott, commander, we have letters and papers from New York to the 19th inst. The Europa sailed from New Yerk at noon on the 19th instant, and at 10, p.m., passed the Royal Niail steam-ship Africa, with the mails f the Bth, for New York; and, at 5, p.m., on the 20th. passed the screw steam-ship City of Manchester, for Philadelphia. The Europa passed the Rock Lighthouse at 6 5, p.m., on Sunday, having made the run in 11 days and 20 minutes, mean steaming time. She brings 124 passengers, and 576,000 dollars in specie on freight. Mr. Feargus O'Connor, M.P., has returned in the Europa, and during the passage his conduct has been most extraordinary. The United States steam-ship Atlantic arrived at New York at 9 p.m. on the 16th, after a run of about 11 days 14 hours mean time. - - _...._. The Pacific Royal Mail steam-chip Quito, had arrived at Panama from Callao, with £127,000 in bullion. The steam-ships Daniel Webster, Illinois, and Sierra Nevada, had arrived at New York. with a total amount of gold estimated at upwards of 2,300.000 dollars: on; freight and in the hands of passengers. The Illinois made the run from Aspinwall to New York in 7 days 10 hours and 40 minutes. She is reported to have run 347 miles in 24 hours. CALIFORNIA. - _ From San Francisco, California, we have advices to the 18th April. The reported discoveries of rich mines at Rogue River Valley, Mount Shasta City, Humbug Creek, and Dead Wood Creek (Trinity River) are confirmed. Near Sonora a piece of gold weighing 305 ounces and 11 pennyweights had been found. For the quarter ending March 10,722 persons arrived at San Francisco. and 4,786 left. In the first half of the month of April 4,211 arrived . The shipment of gold during the first sixteen days of April was 3,419,847 dollars. The weather bad been clear and mild, and the river had fallen much, enabling the miners to work to great advantage. All the accounts concur in representing the mines in every section of the States as yielding annually large amounts of gold. Quartz mining as a general thing was depressed. The Slave Bill had finally passed the senate. The law provides that, within one year after its passage, the owners of slaves shall have the privilege of recovering them from the state; if they do not do so within that time, the slave to be free. Slave.owners, with their slaves, are daily arriving at San Francisco. Numerous engagements had occurred between the whites and the Indians, and numbers had been slaughtered on both sides. The Indians, in one case, were smothered out of their houses and forty of them shot. JAMAICA, HAVANA, &C We have intelligence from Kingston, Jamaica, to the 11th inst. The Journal says that there will be an unpa ralleled falling off in the sugar crops. Our Havana advices, which extend to the 12th instant, do not contain much intelligence. Rumours were current in the island that another expedition was on foot in the United States, of which Venezuela was to be the rendez vous of the troops. We have telegraphic advices from Vera Cruz to the 9th inst. The discovery of an extensive conspiracy at the capital had created much excitement. A conducta had left for Vera Cruz with one million four hundred thousand dollars in specie. No later news had been received of the Flores' expedi tion.—Cambiaso, whose infamous and murderous conduct excited general execration, had been tried and executed at Valparaiso. THE COLLINS LINE OF STEAMERS A lettei from Washington of the 16th instant states that " notwithstanding the most vigorous exertions on the part of the opponents of the Collins line, it is ren dered certain the extra compensation will pass the House. It is gaining strength daily." MISCELLANEOUS CHALLENGE OF THE FRENCH MINISTER.—It is stated that Senator the Hon. John Barney had formally chal lenged the French minister to fight a duel, but the minister had declined, and applied for the protection of Govern ment. Relative to the dispute, the Herald says, " Mr. John Barney is a very handsome gentleman, and he con sequently is a great gavourite with the ladies. His con versation is of such a charming character that lie always pleases when he makes the attempt. M. Sartiges is also a very handsome man ; indeed, I happen to know that his identity and Mr. Barney's have been mistaken upon more than one occasion. M. Sartiges came to this country heralded as an acknowledged lady-killer. Who can won der, then, that in such a sphere as Washington, these rival Adonises should disagree ? Since the days of llelen, if not of Adam himself, the gentler sex have always been at the bottom of all mischief ; and if the United States and France should go to war in consequence of the dis agreement of Mr. Barney and M. Sartiges, it will not be the first war chargeable to a petticoat. Mr. Barney charges M. Sartiges with having insulted him, and with firing at rats and cats whilst other people were going to church on Sundays." REPORTED EARTHQUAKE AND SINKING OF Two IsLANDII.—In the shipping intelligence of a Yew York paper we find the following :—Whale ship John and Eli zabeth. of New London, was spoken on the 11th of March last, at sea, and reported having experienced a se vere shock of an earthquake about a mon th previous. Afterwards steered for Grampus island, and found thirty fathoms water on it ; supposed it must have sunk in the earthquake, as his chronometer was correct. The bar que Glene!g, from Hong Kong, also steered for an island laid down in the chart, but could not find it, and supposed it to have been also submerged. A DUEL ON A STEAMBOAT.—A. Mississippi paper say that two passengers on the steamer Chas. Hammond, during her trip from New Orleans, exchanged three shots on the hurricane deck of the boat. One of the party, a Texas planter, was shot in the arm. Half a million of property had been destroyed in New York, by the burning down of Swift's large steam sugar refinery, and French's Hotel. M. Kossuth was at Albany, labouring under a severe attack of illness. A majority of Fillmore delegates had been chosen in New York. Miss Cushman had closed her theatrical engagements, and was about to return to England. The Herald announces the arrival of Lola Montes in New York. COMMERCIAL THE STOCK MARKET.—A steady demand is reported for favourite securities for investment. Railroad bonds are also in request. MONEY.—The supply continues abundant. The amount seeking temporary investment rather increases, and rates now rule at 4 and 5 per cent. "on call," and 41 to 6 per cent. for discount of favourite signatures. The receipts of gold dust from California for the fortnight are about 1,750,000 dollars. EXCHANGE.—Business for the Europa has not been active, and prices are not changed. The quotation on London was 109 k to 1104.

Another account says :—" Considerable sales have been made of cotton at advanced prices, although it is now considered as almost certain the crop will be fully 3,000,000 bales. BREADSTUFFS. — There has been a steady demand for flour for home use and export, but the adviccs from abroad are discouraging, and with free receipts, prices, especially of western, which is plenty, are again rather lower. Corn meal is steady at previous rates. The sup ply of wheat is moderate and the market quiet, but prime is wanted, and holders generally are firm. There is not much inquiry for export, except for C jand for asport was taken at 98c. in bond. With a good and home use full prices have been realised for corn, espe cially for southern yellow, which, being very scarce, has advanced. FllcivisioNs ,--- There is more western and, as the demand is moderate, being confined to the wants for immediate use, the stock rather increases, and prices are a little lower.

THE CAFFRE WAR Her Majesty's steam-frigate Gladiator, Captain Adams, arrived at Spithead on Sunday afternoon, at four o'clock, from the Cape of Good Hope, bringing the ex-Governor, Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Smith, and staff, Lady Smith, and mails, and government despatches. The Gladiator left Simon's Bay on the 18th of April. We are informed that Sir Harry Smith considers the coup de grace has been given to the Caffre war by the late operations ; but it would seem by the latest advices from the seat of war that the enemy was as active as ever, for we learn that Colonel Eyre had a desperate action with a strong body of the enemy, in which, we regret to add, Captain Gore, of the 43d, and Dr. Davidson were killed, and several men wounded. Major Tottenham, of the 12th Lancers, has also had a smart brush with the enemy. in which he also lost some of his men, and was very hard pressed by the Caffres. The Cape Town papers are filled with addresses lament ing the departure of the ex-governor, extolling his deeds, his administration of the affairs of the colony, and express ing respect for his person and character. Major-General Cathcart, the new governor, had arrived at British Caffraria and commenced operations where his predecessor had left off. His excellency had arrived at King William's Town on Good Friday, where he had a long interview with Sir Harry Smith, who left on the fol lowing morning at three o'clock. for the place of embar kation. On his starting, although dark, the whole of the troops in garrison voluntarily turned out to:greet him, together with a large number of inhabitants. THE OVERLAND MAIL. CAPTURE OF MARTABAN AND RANGOON, Letters and files of newspapers have been received, in anticipation of the Overland Bon.bay mail. The dates are, Bombay May 3 ; Calcutta, April 24. There is, of course, no further news from ina. CALCUTTA, APRIL 24.—Her Majesty's steamer Rattler arrived here yesterday with Admiral Austin on hoard, and brings accounts of the capture of Matarban and Rangoon. (From the Calcutta Morning Chronicle of the 24th April.) " Yesterday morning the electric telegraph announc,cl the arrival of her Majesty's steamer of war Rattler, from Rangoon, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Austin flying, that officer being himself on board. When passing the sea terminus of the Electric Se marhore, the steamer sig nalled the taking of Rangoon and Martaban. Martaban was taken on the sth by the Moulmein brigade, com manded by Lieutenant-Colonel Reignolds, C. 8., of the 18th Foot. The capture was a work of caparative the troops having been landed under a protecting fire from the ships, led by her Majesty's ship Rattler, and advancing rapidly, in conjunction with the artillery, upon the works of the enemy. The whole operations lasted, we believe, only some four or five hours. Captain Gil lespie, of the 18th, was first on the walls. The British force in all amounted to about 1,400 men. After its cap ture tile troops re-embarked, and proceeded to the Ran goon river, where they and the Madras troops joined the Bengal force, and the operations against Rangoon com menced. On Easter Sunday, the 11th, the Burmese provoked the attack by firing on the transports. A ter rific cannonade was then commenced on both sides, the steamers opening their broadsides on the river face of the Burmese works on both banks of the river, and entirely demolishing them, both at Rangoon and Dalla. Her Majesty's ship Serpent then proceeded up to Kemmen dine, upon the works at which place she opened fire, was obliged to haul off, and send down the river for aid, when two war steamers were sent up to her assistance. With these the Kemmendine batteries were silenced, and a landing having been effected, the enemy deserted the works, which were occupied by sailors and marines from the ships, and European troops. During the cannonade and shelling on Sunday, besides the destruction of the Burmese works on the river face, the enemy suffered great loss by the explosion of their powder magazine, a shell from one of our guns falling on it and causing it to blow up with a terrific sound. On Monday, the 12th, the land operations commenced, the troops effecting their debarkation under the protection of the ships' guns, and all the boats of the squadron being employed in effecting the landing. Here the brunt of the work commenced, as it was necessary, soon after landing, to attack and capture a strong stockade a short distance in shore, where the enemy fought most gallantly, and caused considerable loss to our force. On the 14th, in the morning, the entire force broke ground, and advanced towards the great Pagoda stockade, throwing out skirmishers, the Burmese also fighting well in their fashion, and knocking over many of our men. Nothing, however, could check the advance of our sol diers, seconded by a tremendous fire of artillery, and they advanced rapidly but steadily towards the Pagoda stockade; taking some minor ones in their forward movement. At length, towards noon, the general assault was made with the greatest spirit and intrepidity, when the enemy gave way and retreated at all points. They never expected that the assault would have been made at that point, and a gate was actually found open there, through which our troops rushed in and instantly occupied the place. All the fighting was concluded by two o'clock in the afternoon. The whole district round fell with the Pagoda. Officers killad : Lieut. Doran and Ensign Armstrong. Wounded : Lieut. Donaldson, mortally ; Capt. Blundell, 51st, and Lieut. Harris, Madras, dangerously ; Captain Allan, Lieut. Trevor, Colonel Coote, 18th, and Lieut.- Colonel Doyle (Madras), severely •, Lieut. Chads, Lieut. Williams, Captain Randall and Lieut. Ford (Madras), Captain Bruce and Lieut. Elliott, 18th, Lieut. Turner, 80th, and Ensign Hawker (Madras), slightly ; Major Oakes and Griffiths (Madras) were killed by the sun ; Colonels Foord, Warren, and St. Mana suffered greatly from the heat. It is stated that the Governor-General has sent the King of Ava a bill, amounting to £250,000, for the expenses incurred up to the 31st of March, with a notice that he will be charged at the rate of £lO,OOO a-day for the expenses of the expedition till lie comes to terms. The present strength of the expedition is about 6,000 troops, sixteen or seventeen steamers (all but two armed), four or five transports, a line of battle ship, a 44-gun frigate, and a brig of war. The intelligence from India announces that Sir Colin Campbell is still opposed to the northwestern tribes near Peshawur, hut they keep up skirmishing and retreating. and will not come to an action with him. Her Majesty's 53rd had been ordered to Shub Kudder, from Peshawur, and started mounted on a splendid cavalcade of one hundred elephants. Reports from Cabul state that the people of Kohistan have rebelled against Dhost Mohamed ; and his youngest son had marched against the rebels. The Government of the Nizam territories is in a bad condition,—funds exhausted, and predatory bands covering the country. The military spirit has been greatly roused throughout India, by the note of preparation for war; and a desire is felt to wipe off the disgraceful failure shown by the Bengal 38th Native Infantry and sth Troop of the 7th Cavalry, at Peshawur. The former volunteered to go to Egypt, on the occasion of Sir D. Baird's expedition ; it now urges as an excuse for battle a three days' steam trip across the Bav of Bengal. The Commander-in-Chief of Bengal is at Simla ; and the Commander-in-Chief of Madras at the Neiigherry Hills. The Governor-General, however, is at his post. BOMBAY. — Exchange : Rates have again advanced to 2s. Oid. to 2s. Old. credit, and 2s. Old. for document hills. On China, 211 r. to 212 r.; on Calcutta, 99r., at 60 days' sight.
