Ehe 1 P 4/ int -. „ I Wirtg 7 - .4 ~„ FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1857, THE DAY'S NEWS. The Deck and Health Committees held their usual meetings yesterday. At the former, several applications ware made for berths at the new Landing Stage, also one from the St. George Steam Tug Company for an office on the Stage, which were referred to th,e Marine Committee. Mr. Bold called attention to the subject of surplus cargo at the Stanley, Albert, and Wapping, ware houses, since the opening of the docks connected therewith. The Dock solicitor, Mr North, read the case submitted to counsel on the subject, and his opinion, in which the committee were recom mended to continue their present practice respect ing surplus cargo, as being better, and more con sistent with their character of public justices, acting for the benefit of all parties concerned. Mr. Bold's motion for a return of the surplus cargo at the docks in question was agreed to, and the committee separated. The proceedings at the Health Committee were of a mere routine character. The medical officer reported that the state of the public health was below the average of the last seven years. The deaths show an increase of 14—Diarrhom were 73, being 18 more than the corrected average. The mean temperature was 68, being 7 3-10 above the average of former years. This return does not prop up the confilent assertion of Mr. Hodson, at the council meeting. His assertions respecting the health of the borough, has been completely refuted by the late returns presented to the com mittee by the medical officer. The meetings of the Toxteth Park guardians, and the Wellesley commissioners yesterday, are reported in another part of to-clay's impression, but they were totally devoid of anything to war- rant special notice. The election for the county of Middlesex, vacant by the elevation of Lord Hobert Grosvenor to the peerage, took place yesterday. Mr. Byng was re turned without opposition He addressed the electors at much length ; the chief point of his speech having reference to the present state of affairs in India, and hinted that the time for changing the Government of India to the Home Administration had come. Tie npvt. support any comprenensive measure ot Par] la me u tary Reform, and to vote in favour of the ballot, and it was his intention to give his support and irfluence to the admission of the Jews into Parliament. As a mater of course the hon gen tleman's statements were well received, and he concluded his address amidst the hearty plaudits of the crowds asssmbled on and around the hustings. At this particular season of the year, there are always a variety of political rarnours afl at. Just now much gossip prevails in several quarters respecting certain Ministerial changes. It is said that during the recess Lord Palmerston will make a strenuous effort to remodel and strengthen his Cabinet with regard to the Board of Control, which Mr. Vernon Smith is doomed by common consent to resign, The more general opinion is that Sir Charles Wood will lead the Admiralty, and succeed Mr. Smith. In such a case it is considered likely that Sir James Graham will become First Lord of the Admiralty. Lord e Panmure is reported as anxious to resign, to be succeeded by Mr. Cardwell or Mr. Herbert. Admiral Berkeley, the Senior Naval Lord of the Admiralty, wilt retire, having lost his seat in Parliament, and we hear will be succeeded by Admiral Peelle'', M.P. for Brighton. Batt all this is only talk—the truth really lies in the anxiety of Lord Palmerston to reign over Cabinet Councils that will be a little more influential. In another part of to-day's paper will be found another case of brutality at see, by a captain to one of his apprentices. The youth was treated with such barbarity that he was driven mad, and to end hie sufferings, which he declared he could not endure any longer, he jumped overboard and was drowned. Truly these rascally captains imitate the ferocity of a " Bengal tiger." The strong arm of the law should be naade to reach them, and a terrible example ma - le of each and any one who sets at defiance every feeling Gf humanity. The case will agiin be brought before the magistrates, when further revelations will be made. The mention of this case reminds us of the murder in the Queen's prison. De Salvi, although actually sentenced to penal servitude for a felonious assault upon I - is victim, will have to stand his trial for murder. There is not much continental news of moment this morning. FI om Paris we learn that the Emperor has intimated his intention to proceed to Germany, where the long-talked of meeting between him an 1 the E nperor Alexander will certainly take place. The Czar is expected to visit Warsaw on the 6th inst. He is to be at Berlin on the 14th. The Camp of Chalets has become an object of great curiosity. Not only do the Parisians, but thousands of the peasants flick to view the great change which has taken place. Marseilles letters, of Tuesday, announce that the French squadron had left the coasts of Corsica for Tunis, in consequence of the measures taken by the Bey against the per petrators of the recent acts of violence not being considered satisfactory or sufficient. There were always persons here who prophesied that whatever the Bey might do, the squadron would sail. The story of this new project for interference reads strangely enough in view 3 of the revelations just brought to light at Algiers. India continues to occupy the aetention of the Paris press, to the exclusion of almost everything else. The Debats gives it as its opinion that the barbarous anxiety expressed by some of the London papers for the utter destruction of Delhi wilt die away, according as the insurrections approaches its termination. The Gazetts de France also expresses itself in energetic language against the terrible chastisement which has been proposed for Delhi, and points to the fact that all the conti rental journals of high standing have protested, in the name of ci►ilization and humanity against the cry of vengeance which has been raised. Private letters from Florence state that the Pope has not succeeded in the secret object of his visit, which was to induce the Tuscan Government to abolish the well-known Leopoldine laws, by which the ambitio❑ of the Catholic clergy in that State THE NORTHERN TIMES.--LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 1857. is circumscribed, particularly in matters of educa tion, The Pope is said to have acknowledged that any such change as he contemplated would be untimely at present, owing to the popularity with which the laws in question are regarded by the p The kmperor of Austria, who left Presburg on the 27th ult,, by railway,to continue his journey in Hungary had a narrow escape: at Hobulkut the locomotive ran off the rails with such violence that oce of the wheels broke, and the whole train was dragged off, and stuck fast in the ground. After some delay his majesty resumed his journey, and in the evening reached Bolasso-Gyarmath. According to advices from Vienna there are hopes that diplomatic relations will soon be resumed between the Court of Naples and those of Paris and Lnidon. M Caraffa, the Neapolitan Minister for Foreign Affahs, having req ues t e d of ' Couut Buol in a despatch in his own handwriting that Austria would interfere in the re-establishment of friendly relations between the three Courts, the Austrian Ministers at the Courts of London and Paris have taken steps for this purpose, and we understand that they will result in a speedy settlement of the matter. By the steam ship Fulton arrived at Southamp ton en route to Havre, we have New York news of the 22nd ult. They are for the most part unim portant. The President had issued a proclama tion declaring the treaty of commerce and friend ship, between th e U n it e d S tates and Persia of binding force. In addition to the ambassador or diplomatic agent near each Government, it pro ' vides for Persian Consuls at Washington, New York, and New Orleans, and United States Con suls at Teheran, Bender, Bushire, and Tamis- The treaty is to continue in force fnr 10 years. A mass meeting had been held at New York to raise funds for the Nicaragua Fillihusters, but it proved a failure. Full details of the news will be found in another column. AT the present moment every thing having reference to, or connected with India, possesses deep interest to the people of the United King dom. There is hardly a single family in Great Britain and Ireland, as well as the British Provinces of North America and portions of the United States, which has not relatives, near or distant, who are now serving their Sovereign and their country in putting down the Bengal mutineers. For these reasons it is with satisfac tion that we perceive a combination of efforts are on foot for the purpose of organising a more direct and rapid communication between England and the leading seaports of India. These are the plans of General CHE NEY, for a line of rail way by the Euphrates Valley, the proposed scheme for navigating the rivers in India, and the projected line of telegraph by the Red Sea. When we consider what has been passing in Bengal for some months, the butcheries and the brutalities perpetrated not only upon the courageous heroes of our country, but their defenceless wives and children, and also reflect that although 25,000 men have sailed from England for the scene of these disasters since the Ist of July, still, a great length of time will have elapsed before the military relief sent out can:be of any avail; the importance of a shorter and more direct route becomes apparent, and incites in the breast of every patriot and philan thropist feelings of wonder—not unfrequently mingled with indignation—that steps have not been taken long ere this to construct and main- possessions. It should be borne in mind that had this been the case, there would not, probably, have been any emelt te in Bengal. The rebels who have disputed our sovereignty and authority, and who have acted so barbarously upon all who came under their power, have relied on the distance which sepa rates them from the seat of the supreme Govern ment. Depending that they could massacre the English, and be free from the vengeance of of our mighty army, they proceeded on from one deed of blood and brutality to another, until the whole presidency of Bengal became a sea of human gore calling for retribution and vengeance. They also imagined that before England could pour in her reinforcements, the insurrection in India would be general, and that the ancient dynasty of the Moguls would be restored, and Bengal, Bombay, and Madras pronounced inde pendent. Happily this has not come to pass. The scheme of the rebellious and traitorous sepoys has been frustrated, owing to the fact that the mutiny was not only partial but because the heroic bravery of the few hald.fuls of British soldiers who met them completely upset all their arrangements. But had we had a more direct and expeditious mode of despatching troops to India—could we have sent them from London to Kurrachee in less than half the time occupied in the transit by the Red Sea,—how much life would have been saved, and how much British blood would have been unskilled, not to speak of other brutal indignities inflicted upon the innocent and fair daughters of England, and their beloved offspring. Nay, more ; the honor and supremacy of England's flag would have remained unquestioned, and_ revolt and anarchy been un heard of. With regard to this particular matter, General CHESNEY has just read a paper at the British Association, in which he recapitulates all his former arguments in favour of the Euphrates valley, and shows pretty clearly that it possesses facilities of no minor importance over every other route. He intimated, too, in pretty plain language, that, as matters now exist, there might be much greater expedition in the transport of troops to India, if we had at the head of affairs a statesman influenced by some of that untiring energy, prompt decision, and well regulated enterprise which marked the memorable career of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. History tells us that, in 1809, that great General, emulous of treading in the footsteps of ALEXANDER the Great —who marched more than 19,000 miles in his progress of Asiatic conquest—formed the project of transporting a force down the Euphrates, for the purpose of subjucratinc , India. t 7, His troops were to be conveyed on rafts, con structed of the timber that grows on the banks of the river, General CHESNEY is of opinion that with a small modicum of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE'S activity and daring, we could at this very moment do the same, and with much greater facility. Besides, the same distin guished officer shows that reinforcements to a large extent might be formed on the way to India, inasmuch as the garrisons in the Mediter ranean could afford to contribute at least 7,400 men, part of which could go through Egypt, and the rest be carried in a fe Ar days by Admiral LYONS to the mouth of the Orontes, whence their transit to the seat of war would be easy and expeditious. Under the existing state of affairs it is a bounden duty to test the practicability of General CHESNEY'S suggestions. They are not the result of hasty and crudely formed ideas. They are his matured opinions, after observation and experience of twenty years standing. But it is not only in a military point of view we are to consider the advantages to be adopted by an easy and expeditious route to India. Itsultimate effect upon commerce and civilisation are equally, although not so speedily, important. It would enable us to develope the resources of India—afford employment to millions of our fellow-subjects at home, and the natives of the vast territories belonging to that extensive empire. China, too, would reap advantage, whilst Turkey, Australia, and even America would bless us for the beneficial effects of such rapid corn munication with Hindostan. Whilst earnestly approving of some plan to curtail the length of the journey to India, the project of introducing a better system of navi- gating its rivers, so as to reach far into the interior, is equally deserving of attention and encouragement. The mighty hordes of English soldiers which we can pour into the disaffected provinces will conquer and overawe the rebels. But that conquest will not secure a loyal and well-disposed people. It is only by means of trade, and constant employment for the millions, that we can make them contented and happy under foreign rule. The proper navigation of the Indian rivers is a happy thought, and, as such, we hope it will be taken up, and promptly promoted and seconded, by men of influence and capital. It is projects such as these that will do more for us in retaining the plwer and control over the countless hordes of India, than British artillery, or the devastating charge of the bayonet, the rattle of musketry, or the deadly conflict of well-sharpened sabres. THE Pike had its doom sealed on Wednesday, and a hapless doom it was. Not a voice was raised, or a hand held up, in favour of the foul monstrosity which was unceremoniously repu• diated even by its former ardent panygerists— even that great Pike oracle, Mr. SAMUEL HOLME, confessed to having been disappointed in the • Lathu LUG Wittel; OLIII, tie was "willing to take his share of the responsibility" of the job ! Very fine, this, Mr. HOLME ; but what do you mean. by the term "responsibility?" —are you, and the other Pikeists, prepared to refund to the inhabitants of Liverpool the million and-a-half sterling which has been unpardonably misapplied by the promoters of the abortion ? If such is not your meaning, then let us hear no more of your incurring this, that, or the other share of responsibility, which means simply pshaw—fudge ! Mr. HOLME " cautioned the Council against rushing headl3ng into any rash undertaking at that moment, when the public mind was in such a state, lashed as it had been by one—and, he was happy to say, only one—of the Liverpool newspapers, for that_ was the way the thing had stirred up." Like Mr. HOLME, we are quite willing to accept the responsibility of all we have written on the subject of water supply ; and we are glad to learn that Mr. HOLME has profited by ,the same, for, in his concluding remarks, he not only embodies the sentiments, but he makes use of the very language which appeared in the one journal on the very morning of the meeting of Council. We have, in what we have written on the subject of Water Supply, been influenced by higher motives than a desire to excite popular passion or preju dice ; and, in place of " lashing" the pUblic mind into a state of excitement, our constant object has been to allay all such on either side of the question. We have written the truth for the sake of truth, and although we may have used, and will continue to use, forcible language in denouncing the vilest fraud ever perpetrated on this or any other community, yet we can loJk back on every article we have written on the subject, and their name is legion, without any feeling of remorse, or the slightest wish that we could recal a single word. Can Mr. HOLME say the same about his speeches With us there have been no private feelings to indulge —no partizan patrons to gratify at the sacrifice of principle. As public journalists, on a vital question, we have performed our duty to the public ; and we have carefully abstained from either saying or doing ought calculated to injure the private character of those who con scientiously differed from our views. We only wish we could say as much for Mr. HoLmE and some other Pikeists. We have no desire to claim the entire honour which Mr. HOLME would cjnfer upon us as "being the only journal in Li.cerpool which has brought . the Pike to its present dead lock." That we have done our utmost is very true, but we are proud in reckoning amongst our fellow journalists many who have shown themselves equally consistent with:ourselves in opposition to the job, if not at all times so ' emphatic. Mr. HoLkts knows very well that the whole of the respectable portion of the Liver pool press are now, and ever have been, opposed to the swindle. He is perfectly welcome to the fulsome laudations of hirelings, or of those who are necessitated to barter their independence for a mess of pottage. We quite agree with Mr. BENNarr that Mr. DUNCAN'S report does him great credit, more especially as he was about the last man from whom such a candid confession could have been expected. He puts the Water Committee in possession of the true cause of the pollution— namely, the peaty nature of the gathering ground, at and around Rivington. This was pointed out a thousand times before the works were under taken, but, like every other objection, it was pooh-poohed. Now, however, the result is before the world, in the official condemnation of the very source of the supply by Mr. D UNCAN. The Water Committee of 1857 will hardly dare to deal with Mr. DuNeAk as that of 1848 did with poor Mr. APDONALD ; but on that most discreditable transaction we shall have something more to say by-and-bye. It was quite obvious that the Water Com mittee were in a complete dilemma on 'Wednes day : they were totally unprepared with any resolution whatever for the adoption of the Council. All the Chairman could say Was— " Give us more time, we have not yet thought on the subject." In fact, the Committee were annihilated, and they evidently felt it, and the Council pitied their fallen condition and granted them a few days' respite. It was all that could be done under the circumstances by their friends, and their opponents had no desire to add further to their humiliation, which was complete enough in all conscience. But the Committee must now feel that they are, as at present constituted, utterly impotent—that they have virtually lost the confidence, not only of the Council, but of the public at large, and that the only manly and dignified course for them now to pursue is forth with to tender their resignations, as suggested by Mr. JEFFERY, and thus allow of the re-construc tion of the Committee out of more popular elements. This course would be only graceful on the part of the Committee now, seeing that after the 1 lth of November it will no longer be a matter of choice With them. But while con ceding the reasonableness of the amendment granting time to the Committee to consider the report of their own engineer and prepare their own, we must protest against that time being extended beyond a very limited period'. Weeks. perhaps months, are not again to be wasted in idle or f r i vo l ous discussions, resulting in nothing. The whole question lies in the compass of a nutshell. In the first place, the Pike water is declared to be at present unfit for human use: and there are physical obstacles in the way, which must ever render it so. Therefore, for dietetic—i. e., domestic purposes, it must be at once abandoned. Oa this point, there is no alternative. Further experiments are only irnposi- tions, and must be discountenanced as such. The unanimous wish of the inhabitants to have the well water restored to them in its integrity must be complied with. The present supply from the wells is more than adequate to the demand, more especially during the winter months, wh .n too much water becomes a positive nuisance. Ample time will be afforded betwixt now and next spring to make all the necessary arrangements, not only for an increased supply of well water, but for the distribution of the Pike supply for all purposes to which it may be applicable. We quite agree with Mr. S. I.IoLmE, that it would be a matter of deep regret for the Council to rush headlong into the expenditure of Half-a- Million or a Qiarter-of-a-Million of Money for a project which we honestly believe to be totally unnecessary, besides tearing up. our beautiful pavement, and causing endless confusion, outlay, and complexity; and we should rejoice to see all parties united, heart, and hand in one grand effort to lessen as far as can be the ills inflicted on the community by the promoters of the monstrous Rivington job. Mr. HoLms has now an admirable opportunity of proving his sincerity and singleness of pur pose. Let him be the first to put in practice the precepts he teaches. Let him show that he is actuated by a spirit of justice, moderation, and fairness; that if during the heat of controversy, or when matters were not matured as they now are, he has been led to say and do things con trary to all these, he now regrets the course he then took, and is willing to da all in his power to neutralise any mischief, whether public or private, which may have accrued from the mistaken views he had thus imbibed. We say, let him be the first to act thus, and we shall have faith in his teaching ; but not till then. NANA SAIIIB.—It may not be uninteresting to some of our readers to 1 - .,now that Nanajee Sahib, the Rajah of Bithoor, has ; beside some money in the Bank of Bengal, a good L marAy lakhs of rupees invested in the company's paper. Tnis atrocious traitor is the adopted son of the late Pe'Ashwa, Baja) Rao, who, from the time of his dePo`jition, until his death, lived at Bithoor, in . the n'Aghbourhood of Cawnpore, upon the pension allowed him by the British government. On the death of the ex- Peishwa, Nanajee strove hard, but without success, to obtain from the . lndian government a continuance to him. self of the pension allowed to Bajeo Rao. Failing ire this, he despatched an agent to agitato his claims in Englan d, and transmitted, it i s sa id , t o C a l cu tt a , t o meet the expenses of such a mission, a single piece of company's paper of the value'of five lakhs of :rupees. The mission to England, we need hardly reminl our readers, was as unsuccessful as the attempt made to influence the local government. The Indian government_ may in some measure thank itself for having allowed this man to acquire the local influence he possesses. It is well known that for years back, einoe the death of the Bajee Rao, Nanajee has kept the Besnms of the Badjee, the rightful heir to the property of the deceased chief, in close con. finement in the Zenanah, so that none likely to take steps relative to:rescuing them from confinement, or restore to them their property, could obtain access to where they were. It cannot be said that Nanajee is not a venturous traitor, he staked his all, which is not a little, upon the die. His game might have been played so as k not to have entirely deprived him of the sympathy of those he fought against ; but, like every leader the present insurrec tion has brought to notice, he seems unable to resist that propensity to cold-blooded, dastardly murder, which seems to take possession of .most natives simultaneously with their_achieving;power to:gratify it, RAILWAY& IN VIE UNITED:ISTATE3 AND CANADA.— When matters hare come_to the worst with railways, and the causes traced, a better system of management must follow. To this it has come on the New York and Boston lines, which have been driving a reckless competition, and now admit their folly. The proposed remedy is an increased tariff and decreased speed. This may do much towards a sounder development, but it is too late to remedy the radical defect in the . whole system of American railways, which have been constructed on the go-ahead principle by different companies without a uniformity of gauge. The case is totally different in Canada, where the provincial gauge is ;five :feet six inches throughout. In England the public are not well-informed on the subject of Canadian railways; they evidently regard the Grand Trunk as complete, and the present broken traffic arrangements as indicative of a test. Nothing can be more erroneous. As an illustration, the severance at Montreal of the line in two until the 'Victoria-bridge is opened ; the want of a western terminus at London ; the non-connexion at Kingston with the river transit, and the same at Montreal with the city wharves ; and, although last not least, the non-existence of wharfage at Quebec for shipping. All these works are in progress, and when completed, then, and not until then, will the results of the traffic be a solution of the prospects tested by a weekly statement of receipts and expenditure. In the latter the reduction will necessarily be very large in the two items alone of transhipment and steam ferry-boats at Montreal, as well as at the other: places in cartage and detention. It is now, also clearly demonstrated that, with the pro vincial aid thrown at the back of all, the Grand Trunk will be completed (with the victoria-bridge, from St. Teomas to London, including also interest o f money) under eight millions sterling for 900 miles of railway, all of which, with the exception of the 40 miles below Quebec, will be highly productive when united. Without the outlet to Portland and Quebec over the bridge, the portion between London and Montrael would be confined to local traffic unremunerative, as the western through traffic would still be sent over to Boston and New York. Of the river steamers between Montrae l and Quebec. Torrance's passenger liners have ceased to run ; the Montreal has been lately burnt, and the Montruo renci sunk in a collision with the Quebec. Like the steamers on the Hudson River from New York to Albany, they must succumb to the railways. But it must not be presumed that the Grand Trunk can carry one tithe of the goods that move from east to west, and vice versa there will be enough to spare for both railway and pro pellor and railways. • The comparative statement of produce via the St. Lawrence Canal for July, shows a decrease of one-third in 1857 as compared with 1856. The total upward tonnage of sailing vessels and steamers for the month were—..for 1856, 53,333 tons, and for 1857, 52,936 tons. These official statements show the great traffic, which exists amidst the stagnation and reduction which• has prevailed this year. In the same month of July the upward tonnage of goods was 16,509 tons, and downwards by canal 44,304 tons. This, be it observed, is the slackest month of the year; it will , not, therefore, be found to be far wrong, in estimating the future goods traffic at double that of passengers when the Grand Trunk is in full working gear, while the progress made in public favour which has followed the Canadian Ocean steamers in their second year, is a fact established in corroboration of the success of the St. Lawrence route to the Western States. caut2 vtaizipest. LO anu from Europe. The several railway schemes projected in Lower Canada may be considered as at an ead, excepting for the purpose of local political agitation. The North Shoreßailway would not pay working expenses, and this applies to all exten sions below Quebec; for here the Olean- Navigation with the Trunk line begins, and connects at Sarnia and Detroit with the Michigan and Wisconsin, and the Far West. railways. Portland is destined to be the winter port of the Western States, and will rapidly increase in impor tance and wealth. Quebec has equal capabilities, but the inhabitants want both enterprise and capital, and have no ideas beyond timber and local prejudices.—Toronto Correspondent. THE COURT.

All the singers in this respect continue to give an accurate repre sentation of Mozart's Chef d'as t orc in the comic line of Opera.

The guard as a corps de' elite, ought more especially to make unre mitting efforts to maintain the rank wh:ch it holds from' old tradition as well as by its recent services on the tielcV of battle. Montesquieu says that the Romans coccidered peace as a preparation for war; and the truth is, that the successes obtained by young armies are in general bat the result of assiduous exercise during peace I do not doubt that both officers and soldiers will zealously cooperate with me in the course which I propose to pursue. To officers I recom mend a paternal severity--to soldiers necessary obedience—to both a willing mind and strict attention to discipline. For discipline is respect to your uniform, and the uniform is the emblem of that noble profession of abnegation and self-devotion, of which you are justly proud. Let uS never forget that every characteristic sign of the army, beginning by the•fl ig, represents a moral idea which it is your duty to honour. This camp will not then be a vain spectacle offered to public• curiosity, but a serious school, which we &hall turn to profit by persevering labour, and the results of our studies will be- evident/if ever our country shall want you.

SAILING Or TUG JISEIENITATI TIIOIWBON FOR Nsw YORK The noble ship, Jeremiah Thompson, Captain Blake, sailed yesterday for New York, with about 750 passengers. This ship, belonging to Messrs. Grimshaw's line, deserves more than a passiog notice, for tem reasons --her recent rapid passages, and the superior accommodation which she affords for all classes of passengers. Wa had an opportu nity of inspecting her in the river yesterday, previous to her sailing, and we can say that a finer ship, with arrange ments of the very best dei.cripti'on, we have not gone over. The second and third class cabina are really models of comfort acd convenience, and the arrangements made for light and ventilation—two great icgredients' in a passenger vessel—were ample an I per feet. We happened to be on, board when the government officer came to inspect and clear the vessel, and that gentleman having inspeeted every crevice and corner of the ship, with his usual scrutiny, found nothing faulty, but on. the contrary pronounced everything in the most complete order. The government medical ofn::er 'also found all things satisfactory, and Dr. Taylor, the medical gentleman who goes oat as the surgeon of the vessel, was congratulated oa the perfect state of the vessel in a sanitory point of view. The class of passengers in this vessel was remark able in tae or three points—first, the respectability which was quite apparent even from the look of the people; second, the healthy and Vie physirk of every one, and the superior dress which men and women had on then. The government, medical, and other emigration officers, declared that a finer set of people they never saw on board any, ship saili: g f rom t hi s port. The attention of Captain Blake, Dr. Taylir, and the officers of the ship to the wants and wishes of the humble passenger, was remarkable, and Mr. Howard, of Messrs. Gimshaws, was indefatigable in Ilia exertions in seeing every one satisfied, and the passengers, one and all, tendered thanks to those gentlemen for their extreme courtesy and kind nen. We saw the provisions served out to the passenger., and a better Tia!ity could not be procured. Captain Blake has made some of the most successful and rapid voyages on record ; and Surgeon Taylor can boast of the good fortune of not having lost a passenger in these successive voyages. The captain entertained some friends on board before the final sailing of the vessel ; and, it need hardly be said, that his hospitality was like his heart----the heart of a sailor--- open and sincere. On the departure of the " strangers" for shore by the steam tug, the ship was greeted with hearty cheers, and soon after she was tugged out to sea, with the benisons of hundreds fur her welfare—a speedy and happy voyage ; and may she and her able commander 4 ‘ plough the main" as heretofore, in good titne, and with'. out the least mishap.
