CURRENTS — OF THE OCEAN NEAR THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.—On the 27th of Oct., a small cask drifted ashore at Hauula, island of Oahu, which was opened by a native, and found to contain a tin case of about 14 inches long. He brought the case to Honolulu, and on opening it it was found to contain a memorandum, written in several languages, the purport of which was, that the cask was thrown overboard from H.B.M.S. Rattlesnake, on the 20th of July, 1853, latitude 21 deg. 7 min. N., longitude 151 deg. 31 min. W. It was requested that any one finding the case should forward it to the Admiralty in England, in order that the current might be determined which had floated the cask until picked up. It appears from the dates, position, &c., that the cask was,just 100 days afloat, and that it made one-half a degree of latitude north, 6 deg. 21 min. longitude west. Hauula is in latitude 21 deg. 44 min. north, and is situated on the windward side of Oahu, in the district of Koolauloa, some 30 miles from Honolulu. The distance from the point when the cask was thrown overboard to the place where it was picked up was nearly 360 miles, showing a nearly westerly current of 3 1-2 miles in 24 hours, including, however, the action of the wind upon that portion of the cask exposed above the surface of the water.—Polynesian, Nov. 5. LAUNCHES.—The launch of the Bacchante, screw steamer, 550 tons, from Mr. Laird's yard, at the Dingle, will take place on the 28th instant. She is intended for the Oporto and London trade. The Bahiana, 1,710 tons, for the South American and General Steam Navigation Company, will be launched on the Ist of February ; and the Pomona, which is the same size as the Bacchante, will be launched in the month of February. Tun GREAT REPunuo.—The charred and desolate looking hulk of this once noble vessel still lies at her dock, near Peck-slip. Workmen are busily engaged in removing the cargo, which thus far comes forth in a state of utter wreck. The upper and second decks are nearly destroyed, and so are the sides of the ship, as far down as the latter, excepting forty or fifty feet forward. The ship is well down in the water, and appears to lie aground. A huge canvas has been drawn under her bottom, and a steam pump is at work to relieve her of water. Another will be in operation to-day. The cargo is being removed in lighters. It is rumoured that the underwriters have it in contemplation to repair her, but, considering her low valuation in the policies, ($175,000,) we do not see how it is possible to do it, so as to throw the ship upon the hands of the assessors. We presume that nothing will be defi nitely determined on in respect to rebuilding her until she is discharged, and the precise amount of damage ascertained. At present she is the picture of desolation. —New York Tribune. Loss OP THE JOHN WGIIINT.—The splendid ship John O'Gaunt, belonging to Liverpool, and well-known in the China trade, was totally lost on Tuesday morning, on the coast of Anglesea. The John O'Gaunt was the property of Messrs. Gladstone and Co., of this town. It appears that at three, a.m.. on Tuesday, she went ashore at the back of Holyhead Mountain (Port Griffiths). Five of the crew, with Mrs. Macdonold, widow of the commander, who had died on the homeward voyage, left the wreck in a boat, and were landed in safety. The remainder of the crew scrambled from the wreck to a rock, where they re mained until the afternoon, when they were taken off by means of a boat and life buoys. The ship struck on a rock, and afterwards went down in deep water. A great portion of the cargo floated out of her seaward, and the only articles cast ashore were some broken chests. The loss of property will, therefore, be very great. At the time of 'the accident the weather was very bad ; a snow storm prevailed, accompanied by a dense fog, the crew be ing 'scarcely able to discern each other standing on the deck ; 'l2O blame, therefore, attaches to the commander and 'crew, the disaster being purely accidental. Land had never been seen since the vessel left St. Helena, neither had the men been able to discern a light. The frst intimation of the,position of the vessel was a cry from the wash of "Rocks ahead." The crew behaved in the most praiseworthy manner. When the boat 44,2's lowered, the captain's widow was put into it : and instead of a number ef the men pres -sing into the boat, as is frequently the case on similar occa sions, only five proceeded in her, these being the number required for four oars and a steersman. The rest remained by the ship, and saved themselves -by getting upon the vock. The John O'Gatint sailed from London on the 25th September, 1852, for Bombay, under the command of Cap tain M`Donald, who was accompanied by his wife. Frem India she proceeded -to China, and sailed from Whampoa for this port on the S.Oth August. On the 25th October Captain M`Donald, who was suffering from dropsy, died , and the ship was taken charge of by the chief mate. She had on board a valuable cargo of -elks and teas, which was partially insured. The principal.consig,nees were Messrs. Thomson, Finlay, and Co., of 'this town. The John O'Gaunt was built by Mr. Thomas Wilson, in 1837 ; her burthen was 449 tons, and-she was a thirteen years' ship. Her extraordinary performances under the command of Captain Robertson, subsequently of the Stornowayoind now of the Cairngorm, first :attracted attention to the Chinese "clippers," and ultimately led to the .extensive construction .of vessels of that class, especially the Aber deen clippers. AT THE BREAKING ur of the court reception at Brus sels, recently, there was much confusion in the snow covered streets ; while the wind was blowing furiously and the snow •drifting, ladies could not get their carriages, and were strugling through the snow in their court dresses ; and some of those who thought they were fortunate in ob taining their carriages were upset in the deep , dri* CLTTII CUSTOMS. —Tk Glasgow customs revenue for the year ending sth January, 1854, was £688,602, flawing an increase on last year of £35,319. The customs receipts at Greenock exhibit a decrease, in 1853, of Z 3,077. During the lest year 43 ships entered the Clyde more than in 1852, yielcring an increase over that year of 7,349 tons. MORE PROSPERITY. — There was a "bread:riot"-at Taun ton, m Saturday week. The movement originated among some vagabonds who issued from a beerhouse, and expressed their determination of doing " like the Devonshire lads." They were joined by :a number of women, and proceeded to attack the bakers'.-shops and the tradesmen in the mar ket. The magistrates succeeded in quelling 'the riot by means of the police, aided by a number of "specials." LIABILITY • OF RIVILWAY SHAREIDMDERS.—OR Tues day, Vice-Chancellor , Sir J. Stewart delivered judgment in re the Dover, Hastings, and Brighton Junction Railway Company ex party Carew and others. The question prin cipally argued had' been the liability of Mr. Carew and the other persons who executed the subscribers' agreement and parliamentary contract, and who paid the deposits in respect of the shares allotted to them. The judgment of the master had decided that those persons who exe • anted the subscriberG' agreement were bound to pay the demands of a Mr. Coy. The company, it appears, never 'went further than -the provisional committee stage, and - the vice-chancellor .directed an order for a call to be .dis diarged. THE POPULARITY •OF PRINCE ALS3ERT.—A curious instance of the state , of feeling in London as to the alleged interference in the foreign policy of this country by a cer tain party in high. qearters, was exemplified at a late din ner of one of the large City Companies. When the second and usual loyal toast was given from the chair, the white company refused 'to acknowledge it, 'by turning their .glasses upside down. Under these Circumstances, silk; the chairman, I give you " The British. Constitution," 'Which was drunk with immense cheering. A straw is sufficient to show hew the wind blows, • and this tells its own tale. C ONFE SSION OF MURDER BY :SOLDIER.—PLY MOCITII, Jan. 17.—A out three weeks since a private -soldier of the 50th reOment, named Benj. M`Donald, who ,had been apprehended for desertion, stated that he had murdered a woman named Thomas, who had followed the regiment from Preston, on Roborough Down, between this town and Tavistook. Since then the military autho rities have flogged the man for desertion, and, he has been too Rl to be removed to point out the pond into which he says he threw the dead hady, On Thursday last the pri soner made another statement to the chaplain of the ;forces, the Rev. G. W. Langmaid, in which'ke said that be had also murdered a step-brother. The prisoner made the following confession After the death of , sny father, my mother married a man named Lambert Heaton, a smfffi farmer, residing in tke parish of Heaton,sdfout two Miles from Bolton, Lancashire. Mr. Heaton at gig time was a widower, and had an only 'boy, named John Heaton, who was about 14 years of age. About seven weeks after my mother married Lambert Heaton, a great disturbance took plaoe between my step-father and mother about me. He took a dislike to me. I was at that time about 15 years of age. Shortly after this my mother gave my step-brother butter on his bread, and would not give me any. She .continued to do this, and it gave quietness to Lambert Heaton. About this time, John Heaton was taken ill with a cold. In consequenee of my step-brother being allowed butter on his bread and I none, I formed a dislike to him. Whilst he was ill I was working at .a ro p e -walk on Bolton-moor, in the employ of a Mr. Riley. I oneday told my mother that I was pOorly, and could not go to work, and. I remained at home. On the same day my mother went down the street to buy some vegeta bles. She at that time told me I might warm some milk on the fire for Johnny. During the time of her absence, I took the milk down to the cellar. The milk was in a little tin can. There was some poison in the cellar kept for poisoning rats, some of which I took and mixed with the milk. I then took the milk up stairs, and warmed it. Afterwards I put it in a jug and gave it to my step brother, who drank it. About two hours afterwards, my brother, John Heaton, complained of sickness. He got worse, and about two or three days afterwards he died." This confession was signed by the prisoner, in the pre sence of the chief of police and the thief warder. A FALLEN Sr.en.--At the Lambeth Police-office, on Tuesday, Mrs. Mary Ann Prinna, whose eyes were fright fully blackened, her right cheek shockingly swollen, her truly scanty and threadbare black garment covered with mud, and presenting altogether the most lamentable spectacle of misery and dissipation, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. The wr etched prisoner, when Miss Healey, was one of the most admired actresses and vocalists on the British stage. Miss Healey was married to Mr. Prinna, an accomplished musician, and one of the best organists of his time. Soon after her marriage Mrs. Prinna gave way to habits of intoxication, and indulged her passion to such an extent that her husband was obliged to part from her, but made her an allowance sufficient to keep her in comforts. Her extravagance in gin, however, became so excessive, that she soon began to neglect her person, and got from bad to worse. At the death of her husband she became the recipient, as his widow, of a pension from the funds of the society of musicians, and becoming thus free from control, she gave herself up altogether to gin-drinking. She has been brought to this court at least fifty times on charges similar to the present. On the last occasion, when found lying in the kennel, a wine bottle, half full of gin, was found under her head.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL T S.-Thu RSD A.Y. With the few who gathered together the handicap for the Great National Steeple Chase at Liverpool was the princ►pal topic of conversation; much was said for and against it, but the majority of opinions was decidedly in its favour. Sir Peter Laurie, as was pretty generally expected, is saddled with the top weight. Miss Mowbray's friends, nothing daunted by the impost of list. 91b., adhered to her with a dis play of confidence, which caused the odds of 200 to 14. laid at the commencement, to be quickly reduced to 10 to 1. At 12 to 1 upwards of £l 7 O were invested in her support. and an offer was more than once made to bet ''soo she beats anything in the race. 10 to 1' was taken to 450 about Half-and-Half. Peter was inquired after, but nothing was done to give him a place in the subjoined list.—Chester Cup : Only Newminster, Typee, and Tom were backed ; the odds quoted against the last-named were taken to some money. Virago was fr►endless at 40 to L 2,000 to 60 was taken about Newminster for the Great Northern Handicap.—The Derby : 350 to 100 and 600 to 200 were taken about Autocrat and King Tom coupled, 700 to 50 about Dervish, 1,000 to 30 Scythian, and 2,500 to 50 Brother to Chanticleer.—Oaks : 4 to 1 taken to .1300 about the favourite.

SIR.—If any credit was ever due to the "Coalitionists" — if by any well-timed, well-directed act of theirs, high merit was reflected upon "all the talents," it was cer tainly when a bill was brought in for the suppression of those dens of infamy—the betting-houses. This was a reasonable move: one in the right direction. With respect. however, to this act—which would appear (as many others) to be creditable, solely creditable to our present government, and to be solely attributable to them, and them alone—l may as well state to you a fact which I have not had an opportunity of doing before—a fact which you and my former readers will be pleased to know—and that is, that for this move we have to thank principally our noble ex-Premier as I understand positively that he intended by the hands of one of govern ment to bring it into parliament just previous to his resigna tion,and that upon the accession of the present government to office, they immediately completed it, and passed it. The original idea, you will see, therefore, was solely due to Lord Derby : the bill itself, of course, to his successors. This is the history of the bill. By it, that portion of the racing fraternity (which may correctly be denominated the "juve nile dabblers,") has been considerably diminished, if not altogether extinguished, and has left the two legitimate classes to lament its loss—viz., those who make the sport their business as a pleasure, and those who make it their business for gain. _ . , At the present season the furore for racing has greatly subsid ?d. In a little time, however, our racing men will come ut to purette their business with renewed energy and enjoy ent, as the entries already made for the coming seaso (called, by sporting men generally, the "bills of fare") are numerous and strong. There are one or two—the great—events upon which specu lation is being freely made, and at this time I have usually given you my opinion thereupon, though merely in a preli minary form. There is only one steeple chase which you know I think worth while to opiuionize upon, and that is ours —the Grand National. For this I particularly like the look (as things now present themselves) of Lord George and Maurice Daley. The Chester Cup seems well for Scott, or rather for the best horse in that stable (for two miles)— Newminster. The Derby looks well for Dervish, Bessus, and the Knight of St. George; and the Oaks for Meteora. These are my present ideas, upon which I have placed considerable hopes, being possessed of good information from the respec tive quarters. More anon.—Yours, itc., RIMMING.

MANCHESTER. —The market continues entirely without •animation. Prices, however. remain steady. The demand vtlaich was experienced for India -yarns and goods last week, has again subsided, .and the genefal inactivity seems more marked. Yarns 'have been dull of save all week. There is only very little doing -for India, and quite as small a demand forthe Continent. Manufacturers, expecting cotton to come lower, withhold their cadets for yarns, in the expectation that z similar decline may be accorded to;them—so far, how ever, avitbout much success. In goods there has been but little doing. The inquiry for jacconetts and low shirting. has again subsided, but manufacturers are well,engaged for them, and they are decidedly scarce. Large purchases have for some time been made for low domestics for the Canadian trade, and a fair demand 4tiil exists. T cloths, long-cloths, ,and a general run of domestics are less inquired for. ROCILDAUS.—We have had a rather slack market, except in kerseys and coarse goods, for which these has been a Olerable good demand, with little or no change in prices from those of die former week. The wool market has been languid.; -the manufacturers buy sparingly.; but prices are firmly maintained. iitTIMIRSFINJA. — During the past week there tas been a good trade done in the warehouses to order. Flatness in the general business ma to be anticipated from the season of the year, LEEDS.—At the Clsth—halls, on Tuesetay, although there was a pretty tuts attendance of merchants, the market was dull. Prices, boriever, are firm—the stocks less than usual at this season—and same of the principal makers being en gaged to order, the mills, under these circumstances, con tinue pretty well employed. The houses in the home trade have been dull this week, the high price of provisions having the effect of inducing caution; but there has been some rather exteniive sales made for the Canadian market by a few of the foreign houses. . _ BRADFORD.—WOOL t There is no improvement in the de mand for wool, and the sales daring the week have been limited. Yarns : In yarns there is still an inanimate feeling , and the business is chiefly confined to order. The dearness of wool compels the spinners to limit their transactions as closely as possible. Pieces : In goods suitable for the ap proaching season there is more inquiry, and anything offering under the market price by the recent fire, continues in request. NOTTINGHAM.—The two principal trades of the town have been visited by about the average number of buyers, yet the sales made have not been to so large an extent in either lace or hosiery. There is no alteration in demand for any class of goods, either in the hosiery or lace trades. The price of hosiery yarn remains about as it has been for many weeks past, with a scarcity of the most useful counts. The price of lace yarn is a trifle in favour of buyers. LEICESTER.—WhiIe the present high price of bread con tinues, we cannot expect much improvement in the home trade, the great mass of the people having to spend their earnings in provisions, and are, therefore, prevented being good customers for any manufactured goods. As a natural consequence, the districts manufacturing for this class are suffering from want of employment. Home operations for the spring trade are going on, and the export trade is expec_ ted to be of great benefit to us shortly.' Spinners are work. ing short time. Yarns remain firm in price. BRITISH.

There was a fair inquiry for oats and oatmeal, but scarcely any for beans and peas. WAKEFIELD, JAN. 20.—The wheat trade was firm, and the demand good, at frilly last week's rates. Barley was in good supply, and Is to 2s per quarter lower. Beans fully as dear. Oats and shelling steady. Other articles as before. WISBECH, JAN. 21.—We have again had a very small show of wheat at our market to-day, and there is nothing to induce us to expect any better supply. The accounts of recovery in the Lancashire and Yorkshire markets caused the trade here to rule very firm at the full rates of this day fortnight. Beans and oats firm. CORK, JAN. 21.—The flour market is particularly quiet, there being scarcely a sa'e to report. Foreign wheats were more difficult to part, with a little concession in price; firm ness was increased towards the close of the week. Indian corn is easier to buy, and has slow consumption. DUBLIN', JAN. 20.—There was a good demand for every description of home grown grain at market to-day, and the reduced currencies of Tuesday were fully supported for wheat, oats, and malting barley. Grinding barley recovered the decline of Tuesday. The transactions in Indian corn were small, but at full prices.

In flour a fair, but not extensive, business has been done at is per barrel amendment; a few parcels taken to hold over. In barley, beans, and oats the trade rules quiet, without change in value.
