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 aypears 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 Koolanloa, 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. TAE GREAT REPUBLIC.—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, go 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 or nix Joniv OVAIINT.—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 w e n t as h ore a t the back of Holyhead Mountain (Port Griffiths). Five of the crew, with Mrs. Macdonold, widow of the commander, who had A.ed on the homeward voyage, left the wreck in a boat, and were landed in safety. The remainder of the trew 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 tae weather was very bad ; a snow storm prevailed, accompanied byn dense fog, the crew be ing scarcely able to discern each other standing on the deck ; no blame, therefore, attaches to the commandernnd crew, the disaster being purely accidental. Land had never been seen since the 'vessel left St. Helena, neither had the men been able to tiscern alight. The first intimation of the position of thevessel was a c* , from the watch v:IT "Rocks ahead." The crew behaved 13 the most praiseworthy manner. When `the boat was lowered, the captain's' widow was put into and instead of a number of the men ',pres sing into the boat, as is frequAnAly the case onsimilar occa sions, only five proceeded in ther, these being the'number required for four , oars andn-steersman. Thes'est remained by the ship, and saved themselves by getting upon the rock. The Jehn O'Ganntsailed from London on the-25th September, 1852, for Bombay, under the command of Cap tain McDonald, who was accompanied by kds wife. From India she proceeded to China, and sailed from Whampoa for this port on the :10th August. On the -25th ()nobler, Captain MDonald, who was suffering from•dropsyolied, and the ship 'was taken:t'harge of by the chief mate. She had on board a valuable cargo of silks and teas, which was partially insured. The principal consignees were Messrs. Thomson, Finlay, •and Co., of this town. The John O'Gaunt was built by Mr. Thomas Wilson, in:1837.; her burthenwas •449• tons, and she was a thirteen. years'-ship. Her extraordinary performances under the command of Captain Robertson subsequently of the Stornoway, and now of 'the Cairngorm, first attracted attention :to the Chinese "clippers," :and ultimately led to the extensive construction •of •vessels of that class, espeeialJy.the Aber deen clippers. Ar TOE BREAICING•IIP of the court reception:Lt 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 , drift CLIMB tart tram., —Th A Glasgow uootoros revenue for the year ending sth January, 1854, was £688,602, showing an increase omkist:year of £35,319. The customs receipts at Greenock exhibit a decrease, in 1853, of £3,077. During the last year 43ships entered tie Clyde more than in 1852, yielding n.inerease over that year of. 7,349 tons. Moan Paosrnnuy.—There4was a "bread rict" at Taun ton, on Saturday week. The movement originated among some vagabonds who issued from a beerhouse, and expressed their determination of doing " like the Devonshire lads." They weneAlikued by a number of women, and proceeded to attack the akers' 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." , or RAILWAY s- SELAREHOLDERS.—On Tues day, Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Stewart delivered judgment in re the Dover, Hastings, and Brighton Junction Railway Company ex &parte 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 allottedtto them. The judgment of the master ‘:had decided that those persons mho exe cuted the subscribers' 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 charged. THE POPUIALUITY 07 PRINCE ALBERT.—A ,curious instance of the state of feeliugin London as to thealleged interference in the foreign policy of this country by ascer tain party in higli quarters, wancxemplified at a late din ner of one of the large City Companies.

Under these circumstances, said the chairman, I eve you " The British Constitution," which was drunk with immense .eheering. A straw sufficient to show how the wind blows, and this tells its own tale. CONFESSION OF el 'MURDER liY .A. SOLDIER.—PLIY 310IITII, Jan. 17.—About three weeks since a private soldier of the 50th regiment, 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 Roborougt. Down, between this town and Tavistock. Since then the military autho 'titles have flogged the m:anfor desertion, and he has been too ill to be removed to pointout the pond into which he says he threw the dead body, On Thursday last the pri soner made another statement to the chaplain of the forces, the Rev. G. W. Langmaid, in which he said that he had also murdered a step-brother. The prisoner made the following confession :—" After the death or my father, my mother married a man named Lambert Heaton, a small farmer, residing in the parish of Heaton, about two miles , from Bolton, Lancashire. Mr. Heaton at that 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 distwbance took place between my step-father and mother about me. He took a dialßre 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 tne 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 consequence 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 rope-walk on Bolton-moor, in the employ of a Mr. Riley. I one day told my mother that I was poorly, and could not go to work, and 1 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 chief warder. A FALLEN Sr-kn.—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 wretched 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. At that time she begged hard to be discharged, as she did on all occasions, promising that she would at once start for Dover, where she had an old friend, under whose care she should place herself, and n ever more taste gin. Her resolve was soon forgotten, the promise broken, and the wonder is that she is at pre sent alive.—Mrs. Prinna: I have burst a blood-vessel, and I thought I should have . died in the station last night.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALUS.-THURSDAT. With the few who gathered together the handicap for the Great National Steeple Chase at Liverpool was the principal 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 a 'l7O were invested in her support. and an offer was more than once made to bet 4500 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 liat.—Chester Cup: Only Newminster, Typee, and Tom were backed; the odds quoted against the last-named were taken to some money. Virago was friendless at 40 to 1. 2,000 to 00 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 a'3oo about the favourite.

MANCHESTER. —The market continues entirely without animation. Prices, however, remain steady. The demand which was experiencedfor Nadia yarns and goods last week, has again subsided, and the general inactivityzaems more marked. Yarns have been dull of sale all week. There -is only very littledoing for India, and quite as smEll a demand for the Continent. Manufacturers, expecting cotton to come lower, withhold their orders foe* yarns, in the ezpectation that a similar decline may be,accorded to them—so far, how over, without much success. In goods there has boon but little doing. The inquiry forjacconetts and low shirtings has again subsided, but manufacturers are well engaged ford hem, and they are decidedly scarce. Large purchases have for some time been made for low domestics for the Canadian trade, and a fair demand still exists. T cloths, long-cloths, and.a general run of domestics are less inquired for. ROC,}IDALE.—We have had a rather slack market, except in kerseqs and coarse goods, for which there has been a tolerable good demand, with little or no change in prices from those of the former week. The wool market has been languid; the manufacturers buy sparingly; but prices are firmly maintained. HUD-DERVIELD.—During the past week there has been a good trade done in the warehouses to order. Flatness in the general business was to be anticipated from the season of the year. Limos.—At the Cloth—halls, on. Tuesday, although there was At pretty full attendance of rnsfchanta, ths-saseicet was dull, Prices, hoxerer, are firm—the stocks less than usual at this season—and souse of the principal makers being en. gaged to order, the milli, 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; hit there has been some rather extensive sales made for the Canadian market by a few of the foreign houses. BRADFORD.—WooIs There is no improvement in the de mand for wool, and the sales during 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. NorritionAm.—Tlie 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 or alteration in demand for any class of goods, either in the hosiery or lace trades. The price of hosiery yarn remains a'iout 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.

SIR,—If any credit was ever dne to the "Coalitionists"— it by any well-timed, well-directed act of theirs, high merit was reflected upon " all the talents," it was certainly 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 idea,original 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 le ft 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 vain. _ At t , present season the furore for racing' has greatly subsid .d. In a little time, however, our racing men will come ut to pursue their business with renewed energy and enjoyMent, as the entries already made for the coming season (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 tteeple chase which you know I think worth while to opiuionise 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, &c., BREWING.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 20.—T0-day's market was numerously attended by local and country millers, with whom the transac tions effected in wheat are very considerable, besides which some heavy lots are re p or t e d for:investment, the advance currently obtained being 4d to 6d per bushel over the rates of Tuesday. In flour a fair, but not extensive, business has been done at is per barrel amendment ; a few parcels taken to bold over. In barley, beans, and oats the trade rules quiet, without change in value. Oatmeal finds a tolerably good sale at full prices, the transactions bei ng c hi e fl y f or f orw ard ship ment from Ireland.

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 sale 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.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 23.—The demand for butter was checked by the mild weather at the end of last week ; still, business to a fair amount was done, at steady rates.
