No one could blame the Sul for this measure, did it appear that co t di ti e uid had in any way forfeited his masters's Ils e I .: h e nce and goodwill. But the Sultan himself ee ap Ten care t o let 1.13 know that such is not the y a ° s'a ll nß Rodschid, since his removal, that Araill, n ,a(ience i s s till b oun dl ess, an d hi s d es i re to th at "anself of his services as great as ever, but whilecireuttistances prevent him doing so for a se What these circumstances are is soon told.

As diplomatic relations were qfi li f n ed and M. Thcuvenel would shortly have an ten,e'si audience, such a measure would eff'ce any tii b - 1 1) ,, a nt of bitterness linking in the bosom of that ' llla tist, and be very grateful to the feelings of show' 111Peror. And so the only man who has to th e a ny any governing talent has ceased to belong p an g o Ministry. He has been replaced by Fuad tin 4, who, it will be remembered, when last in ° el Made such a mess of the Bolgrad question that its solution seemed quite hopeless. A further change will probably soon take place. Mehemet Kepisli will become Grand Vizier, and then the party in power will have rallied all the talent it can command, and try to hold its ground as long as it can. And this is Low the game of Ministers is played here. Now one influence, now another disposes of the places ; as for the interests of the country 'or the opinions of the public, they are counted as nothing. But the day is not far off when, even in Turkey, the public voice will speak so loudly that it will force a hearing. Since tine war the middle and even the lower classes of Turks have singularly opened their eyes. They are beginning to see and feel that they are forgotten in the race of a few greedy Pashas after the public moneys. They will not long consent to see the wealth and resources of their country andered by improvident and incapable Ministers. . The extravagant expendi ture of the Sultan and his women, the endless palaces he is every day building, are becoming common themes of discussion in all the cafenelts. Only two days ago, in the sacred subitrh of Eyoub, the City of the Tombs, the abode of the most fanatic Mussulmans, the last place in Stamboul where one would expect to hear sedi tious language, a white-!_urbanned Tuik, in the middle of a large group, asked me Whether it was true that the Kings of England had not built themselves a new palace for upwards of 200 years. " Why,' he says, " our Padishalis build themselves one every year. How can a country be rich when its wealth is so heedlessly squandered. You are wise, and do not let your Kings do as they like." With all the religious prestige which surrounds the Imperial person, such opinions must not gain mach ground among the people to become serious. Hitherto, all at tempts at reform in Turkey have been frus trated by the corruption of the upper classes These constitute an army cf placemen, depen dent on the State for their support. Accus tomed to indulge themselves in every luxury, they are oWiged to invent perquisites, that they may e.fferd themselves an expenditure far above their salaries. Nothing is to be expected from a class thus situated. Though they may possess talents, and acquire knowledge, they cannot acquire honesty ; their talet4s and knowledge they must apply to dishonest purposes Unfortunately, this class is every day increasing ; beys, from the pro vinces, set vants and slaves of high functionaries, are every day receiving civil rank, and increasing the number of useless pensioners of the Govern ment ; several thousand persons have been added to the Est in less than a year If there is any hope for Turkey it must rest on the middle and lower classes; here alone is still found the antique and proverldal honesty of the Turk. They are gradually developing themselves, learning the history of the world, and every clay becoming 11107 e and more initiated into the real condition of their country• They will rouse them selves to energy at no very remote period, and then woe to those who now so superbly lord it over them. AUSTRIA, VIENNA, SEPT. 11. The ecrrectness of my so often repeated asser tion, that no greater political privileges would be granted to the Hungarians than to the inhabitants of the other provinces of the Empire, has frequently been called in question by other writers for the press, but the subjoined official document proves that you have not been misinformed. Dear Cousin Archduke Albrecht,—During my recent tour through the greatfr part of my kingdom of Hungary I everywhere met with the most lively expression cf attachment on the part of the different races, and inflamer tOle striking, and on all occasions well. meant, proofs of loyal hom ge and tincere devotion. I also observed with satisfaction the remarkable progress which Hungary has made in all rear acts since I travelled through it five years ago, and convinced myself that the in stitutions which—after ripe conside.ation and with due regard to the peculiarities of the country—were introduced in accordance with my organic ordinances of December 31, 1851, have essentially contributed to its evident improve ment. I feel assured that their salutary inflaence will be still more felt when the commerce of the country is more developed and there are greater facilities of communication —when the measures relative to the emancipation of the soil are entirely carried out, and the new organisation is completed. Being resolved that the fundamental principles which have hitherto guided me in the government of my empire shall be maintains d inviolate, it i‘ my will that this Fhould be universally known, and particula-ly that all the organs of my Government do take my will for their exact rule of conduct. At the same time it will Us my anxious care that allow ance shall be made for the national peculiarities of the dif ferent races, and that due attention shall be paid to the cultivation of their language. To you, my well beloved, I return my warmest thanks for the circumspection and devotion with which you have conducted the government of my kingdom. lat the sane time commission you to express to the provincial au horities my extreme content with the zeal and devotedness which they have displayed under various difficult circumstances (loiter vielfachen SchuierigZeiten), and I expo et that they will in future do all in their power to real . ze my benevolent intentions for the benefit of the country and of its inhabi tants. FRANCIS JOSEPH. Laxenbnrg, Sept 9, 1857. The foregoing Imperial rescript will not fail to produee an extremely unfavourable impression on the Hungarian nobles, who have always flattered themselves that they should be able to obtain itn portant concessions from the crown ; but it is perhaps well for all parties that such plain and unmistakable language has been employed. As has already been said, the news that the Emperors Napoleon and Alexander were to have an interview in Germany produced an extremely unpleasant imp -- ession on this Government; but a few days since Baron Bourqueney gave explanations which either satisfied or appeaud to satisfy the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Vienna papers are inclined to attach considerable importance to the fact that an Austrian Field-Marshal-Lieutenant has keen sent to Warsaw to pay his respects to the Emperor Alexander, but you may be assured that if there, were any improvement in the relations between Austria and Russia one of the members of the Imperial family would have gone to the capital of Russian Poland. About a week ago Baron Bud berg, the Russian Minister at this Ccurt, was summoned to Warsaw, but his stay there must hare been very short, ss he is already on his way back to this city. The King of Wurtombarg, who left Paris at seven o'clock in the morning of the 6th, reached Stuttgardt at eleven o'clock in the evening of the same day. His Msjt sty travelled by the usual " express" to Bruchsal, but at that place a special train was in waiting to take him to his capital. The following informition may be of interest to such of your readers as are fond of statistics. Although Vienna is seldom free from typhus it lies high (some 500 feet above the level of the sea) and is extnneely windy. According to observations made during the last 75 years, the mean tempera ture of the Aus'aian capital is rather morn than 50.00 Fshr. The highest is 93, and the lowest 2.75. During the 75 years there was an aver age 127 fine days, 75 days with fog, 111 with rain, 33 with snow, and 19 with thunderstcrms. The most prevalent wind is that from the north-west ; the most rare that from the east. The city with its suburbs, contains 8,793 houses, with 30,000 sets of apartments on the ground floor, 28 890 on the first, 14,741 on the second, 6.231 on the third, and 1,792 on the fourth story. Of the 8,793 houses, one half have more than two stories, 3,293 have but one story, and 1,308 have only a ground floor. The population of the city consists of 473,957 souls, living on an area of about five square English miles. Travellers declare that at present there is no country on the continent in which people are sub jected to so little inconvenience by the passport and Customhouse employes as in Austria, and it is my belief that they speak neither more nor less than the truth. They will, however, do well to recollect that tobacco is a State monopoly in Austria, and that any one who endeavours to smuggle ever so small a quantity of it is subjected to a heavy fine. Information has been received that Austria wished to negotiate a Treaty of Trade and Navi gation with Russia, but that the St. Petersburgh Cabinet declined to treat. A Governmental cor respondent of the Frankfort Post Zeitung denies the eorreatness of the statement of the Constitu tionnel, that Baron von Prokcsch insists on the evacuation of the Island of Perira. It is kaown to me that the Austrian Government is of opinion that the English have no just claim to the island, but it is by no means likely to take any step which could tend to increase the present embarrassment of England. Austrian military men talk of. nothing but the mutiny in India, and continually express their surprise that government do:snatendeavourto obtain volunteers by promising that those men who, on the showing of their comrades, have m fst distinguished them selves during an action shall immediately receive a certain reward. Whenever this country is at war there is a superabundance of volunteers, because every one knows that he can aspire to the very highest military honours, as the best man always ge's the most rapi 1 promotion. Meer Ali Khan, of Khyrpoor, left Vienna for Trieste yesterday, fie did the Tunisian Envoy, General Ismael Sappa-Tappa. The latter pro duced a favourable impression here, and is really an amiable and good-na ured man. According to advices from Mohadia, Sir 1 - I.2nry Bula - er has returned to Bucharest, N. lady arrived here not long since, who calls herself a G-onzaga, and lays claim to the Duchy of Mantua. She affects to consider the treaties of 1815 so much waste p Ter, but the Austrian Government does not share her opinion, and she may find it more dia.:tilt to get out of this country than it was to get into it As the murrian has broken out again on the other side of the Transylvanian frontier, all foreig a cattle are subjected to a quarantine of ten days. The last number of the Frankfort Post Zeitung contains the followir g FRANKFORT, SEPT. 8 As the British Embassy in this city contlnually receives offers to take service is the English army, we are autho rt zAI to state that at present the British Government does not intend to form a foreign legion, and that foreigners cannot serve in the English army. CONSTANUNOPLE, SEPT. 5. The arms of Russia and France are again exposed to view at the hotels of the two embassies. Fuad Pasha has been appointed President of the Tanzitnat Council instead of Redschid Pasha. Yesterday a part of the street leading frown Pera to Galata was destroyed by fire. The Persians have evacuated Herat. After they had lef , disturbances arose between the Schwa and the Sunnites (the follow-rs of Ali and Omar.) The former recalled General Murad Mirza, but he continued his march towards Tyheran.: THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER is,. 1857. MILITARY AND NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Detachments of the 7th Dragoon Guards arrived at Nottingham on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, from Sh ffield, on their way for embarka ion fer India. In consequence of the large numbr r cf troops it is intended to concentrate at Chatham Garrison as a reserve for the Indian regiments, the authorities have decided on forming the troops sow attached to the Indian depot at the Pro visional Battalion into three battalions, each consisting of nine regiments with its own staff, the vvinle being placed under the command of Colonel W. li. Eden, Commandant. of Chatham Garrison. As soon as the necessary arrage ments are con4leted the three battalions will be formed, the following :officiils being attached to the staff of each :-Ist B ittilion—Colonel H. Jervis, C3mosandant ; Major A. Wombwell, Major H. Jackson, Quartermaster J. Menzies, Paymaster W. Eummetfield, and A. Maclean, M.D., Battalion Surgeon. 2d Battalion.—Lieuttnant- Colonel R. N. Phillips, Commandant ; Major H. D. Ellis, Captain and Adjutant R. Polley, Captain E. Griffiths, Paymaster, and Quartermast€r W. M. Kay. 3d Batal lion—Lieutenant-Colonel C. E'mhirst, Commandant ; Mijor D. G. A. Darrech, Captain C. S. Naylor, Paymaster, and Quartermaster T. Walker. Each of the Indian depots will be formed into two companies agreeably to the recent order from the Horse Guards. Upwards of 100 recruits arrived at Chatham on Satur day from the various recruiting districts for the purpase of joining the several Indian regiments at the provisional battalion. Recruiting for various regiments of the line is actively proceeding in Brislol, and hitherto the recruiting officers have been very successful. On Thursday the Peninsular and Oriental C.lmpan)'s screw steamer Jura steamed into Quenstown harbour with nearly 1,300 soldiers on board. The Jura arrived fr,rn Portsmouth, fr_bm which garrison she brought the wh,de of the 30th Rpgiment, about 900 men, under the command of Colonel 31au1everer, who had been previously stationed at Gibraltar. She hart also on board 'eetwesta 300 and 400 men of the 55th Regiment, also stationed in the Mediterranean. On Friday the whole of the troops were brought up to the garrison, and half the 30th Regi ment went to Dubin, where they are to be stationed for the present. The men of the 55th will wait in barracks until the arrival of the Dutchman, by which the head quarters of the regiment are expected daily, when their ultimate destination will he known, The screw steamship Conqueror, 101, Captain Yelverton' having Lad her defects made good in Plymouth Sound, sailod on Thursday for the Mediterranean. The crews of the screw corvette Pelorus, 21, Captain Frederick B. Seytw_ur, and the desp itch steam vessel Mohawk, 4, Con:minder M`Dougall, were paid ad vane,- of wages on Wednesday, and the ships left Plymouth Sound on Ahursday for the East Indies. The steam sloop Buzzard, 6, Commander F. Peel, was mustered and inspected by Captain Jeraingham, in Ply m-uth Sound on Thursday, and the crew were paid advance of wages on Friday. THE MILITIA. The sth West York Regiment of Militia are ordered out for twenty-one da)s' training and exercise at Kuaresbo rough, ::her: the corps will assemble next week. The 3rd West York Militia, the embodiment of which has already been mentioned, will assembla at Doncaster on the Ist of October. The Royal Sherwood Foresters (Niotts Militia) are to be embodied, and it is expected that the men will assemble a-, Newark before the eLd of the month. The Girliganshire Militia will assemble for training on Thursday next. The Plintsi - iico Royal Militia are under orders to assemble at Mold on the 25th of• this month, to undergo their usial training of 28 days. The Merionethshire Militia have received orders from Lord Mostyn, Lord Lieutenant of the county, to assemble for training at Bala on Taseday, the 22nd inst, Taey are under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel .Morgar. THE NEW LORD MACAULAY.—By an extract from the Gazette of Friday tight . , tor readers will see that Mr. Mac:allay has chosen as h s new name, style, and title, that of " Baran Macaulay of Eothley, in the county of Leicester." P ssibly they may thank us for reminding them that Illthley Temple was the residence of his maternal uncle, the late Mr. Thomas Babirro”, high-sheriff of Leicestershire, and many years Irvi.P. for the borough of LeicsstPr, and that the future essayist, orator, poet, and historian was born in that village in the eatly phrt of the year 1800. Hance, we presume, arises his selection of that spot as the loc)1 source from which be has selected his barony, accardin,g to the old feudal theory ; which maleas every Baron the Lord also of some definite loc , rlity. Lord Macaulay, we may add, is the eldest son of the late Zachary Macaulay, the early friend and associate of Wilberforce, and the veteran labourer in the cause of the abolition of negro slavery. His grandfather was a PleEbyteria* clergyman in the high lands of Scotland, aud, we believe, was a native of the remote and romantic Wand of Lewes. RZSTBICTIONS (227 THE INDIAN PIIESS.—The " Gagging Act" is still in force; we Ast, therefore, be excused for not referring to some suljects at all, and for dealing only partially with others. This act has not fulfilled one of the objects for which it wes istended, but, on the contrary, has tended considerably to increase the embarrassment of the crisis. Tke European community are rig biding their time, as fur as nay manifestation is concerned ; but they are as se. shire as ever of the insult which has been east upon them, and certain preliminaries are being gone through with a visw to give effect to their opiniens in a manner which will soon be sufficiently known. We hear that some antiquarian politicians have discovered the fossil remains of a pamphlet, written by an exploded Indian official, in which the mutinies are prophesied as a natural effect of the freedom of the press. This enlightened production will probably be made use of at home, where similar effects from the same cause have been freely pre dicted from time to time, and have never happened to come to pa's. The theory, as far as India is concerned, would be a very good one if the cause of the mutinies could not be found, and were not as plain as the sun et noon-day, As it is, the difficulty is to find in the; past system of governmr nt— which the press generally op';Josed—a glirivese of a policy calculated to laid to any other results than those which we now see.—Bengal Ilutkat DESTRUCTION OF THE AMERICAN SHIP HAUKAWAY. The fallowing portien'ars of the destruction by fire of the American ship Harkawa - , of Charleston, are extracted from her log book:—" The Harkaway was of 545 tone, and sailed from Charleston far Liverpool cn the 17th of Aueust, laden with cotton, turpentine, and rosin. There were on board the cap sin, two mates, a crew of fourteen men, and ten passengers. Oo the evening of the sth of September, while under full sal', steering E. by E. half N., an explo- Bien took place in t: a ship's hold, and it was aeon discovered that the hold was we fire. Every endeavour was made to extin e uish the fire, and the l oats were prepar d. On the 6th at neon the fi e increased. Next day at five am. there was a heavy sea, and it being impossible to save the ship, and an explelion being feared, endeavours were made to cut away the fare and meintriast, and fill the ship with water. The flames began to ascend the Lre-hatches, and coals through the star b 'ard s.de. A vessel steered towaris the Ha kewey about nine a.m., which proved to be the 3 .rah and Dorothy, o: Neweastie: The pas sengers were got into a boat w.th much difficulty. 'fhe barque cent a boat b the ae.eistance of the Harkaway, and saved some of the crew. The ship was then in flames, the tueeterine explodine and blowing up the decks. The boats returned from the barque and took otf the remainder of the erew and the captain. On the 9th of September, the Advice. of Liverpool, bound far London, fell in with the Swan and Dorothy, and took seven of the craw on board. On the 10th the H.M.S. Atrato bore down and 'poke ta her. She took oa board the captain, the first and second mate, and the passe igers (five adults and flee children); the rest of the crew, seven in nninOer, remaining on board the S irah and Dorothy for passage to ft. John's, New Brunswick. THE MURDER OF A LADY NZ-AR BRISTOL. In add . tion to the particulars publ shed by us yesterday, is refer ence to this fearful tragedy; we now publish the following : . Something has already occurred which may possibly avist in unravell ng the mystery of this murder. A woman , named Bowa who keeps a b.er-house in Dowry-place, at a short distance from the scene of the murder on the Bristol site of the water, stares that between 12 and 1 o'clock etc Thers lay or Friday morning last, a woma dressed slmilarly to the deceased, accompanied by a young men ia sailor's dress, cams to her house and asked for some Devon shire eider. They were supplied with a pint, bat not 1 king the beverage it was exchanged for beer, for which the woman wail. airs. Bowden remarked at the time that the pterse from which the money was takien was nearly fall of sovereigns. In the coarse of some conversation wrath Mrs. Bowden, the women stated that she came down from Hulk to Bristol ray the midnight train on the preceding evening, and that she was going to Appledore, Devonshire, to meet her husband, who i t'e.s the captain and owner of a timber ship which had just arrived at that port from Quebec. She also exhibited her dress (which was one of g. ey alpacca) to Mrs, B w,!en, and said she found it very convenient for travelling. During the conversat - on the young man went out of the room for a few minutes, and M - s. Bowden, finding that he was only an acqueintan e made on the journey from Hull, cautioned the woman not to expose her money. She replied that the young man had behaved very kindly to her, and was going on to the same train w tit her in the arternoon, and that in the Lterval they were going to see Leigh woods and the suspension bridge. Mrs. Bowden, who is a native of Appledore, gave the woman the names of some friend; cf her's at that place with whose she could icdge on her arrival. She expressed her thanks to Mrs. Bowden, and promised to call again on he: way back to the train. She did not, however, fulfil her promise, an 1 a n •ighbonr who happened to b 3 in the shop at tle time having seen the description of the deceased called Mrs. Bowdon's attention to its remarkable similarity with that worn Gy,', the woman whom she had seen in her shop under the circumstances already stated. Mrs. Bowden accordingly saw the body of the deceased yesterday morning, a - id although the features are too much discoloured to prevent tier from positively recogn Laing in them those of the woman she saw in her shop, she state; tlpat the dress exactly corresponds, and that she has no moral doubt that the murdered wo.nan and the one whom sae saw alive in company with the young sailor are the same person. FRAUD AND FORGERY AGAIN. Another a Milton has within the last few days been made to the number of cases of gross fraud which are gradually bat surely under mining that high character upon which as a nation we have so long prided ourselves. The canker of dish meaty app ears to be spreading among all classes, the banker, the religious man, the merchant, and the tradesman, and boards of directors hnVe already fernishe I their illustrations of the laxity of commercial morality. In the person o f Mr. Dean, a solicitor of King's Bende.walk, the legal profession has now a represeatetive ite the galiery of m .dery rogues. The facility with which extensive fraud, may be carried on is one of the most remarkable features of the present day. The pro nice of a high rate of interest, and the hope of 'a-ge profits, woul 1 seem to have the effect of completely destroyine that caution and prudence which one might expect to see Elise's el in important monetary and other tran sactions. A plausible case and a bland look wins its way to the pockets of capita'ists and th t coffers of b inks, provided always the advance required be something con iderab'e. He who wants but a moderate amount of assistance, and offers only a fair return, must not expect aid from the managers of joint stock beaks, or more than empty sympathy from the capitalist. The man of humb'e require ments, to whom even a temporary loan might be of ince eatable advantages, has constantly the mortifizatio aof seeing his neighbour apparently enjoying the utmost extent of prosperity, and revelling in the orjoyment of boundless wealth; bat in vary many cases he has nut long to wait before he witnesses the collapse of these magn fi emit butilles, and Dean Paul, and Redpath and Dean, stand be - ore the world in their true colours. We pity tine widow and the orphan who are the unzonscious victims of sues frauds ; but fur the capitalist and banker who fail to exercise the visilaucto of men of business we have no sympathy. The facts of the case connected with Mr. Dean appear to be that for years past he has been in the habit of obtaining large sums of money from his bankers, and from capita iits, on tins depo it of forged deed', purporting to be mo'tgages of freehold property. To such an extent has this system bean carried on, that for several years it is stated he has been in the habit of paying as much as £3,000 a year in the shape of interest on the advances which he had obtain. d• Already forged deeds to the extent of .460,053 have been discovered' and there is reason to believe :hat the whole extant of the frauds has not yet been fully ascertained. The most intimate f:iends and rela tives of the abscond ng defaulters are, we regret, among those who are the greatest sufferers by his friends. Title deeds of property which had been left by several of his clic: its in ihe han Is of Dean have been made away with in several instances ; and, it is needless to say, that greet distress has bean caused by has fraedalent conduct. The defaulting solicitor lived near Barnes Comm an, and the whole of his goods and effeets have been seized under a bill of sale, and will be sold in a few days. 'Ste proceed. wll not, however, it is expected, cover the amoant for what the seizure has been made. Since his disappearance he has been adjulged and declared• a t anerupt as a " money scrivener," and it is net improbable that the vallity of the bill of sale may be diseuted by the assignee; under bardsruptcy. Warrants for the appreaeesion of Dean hive been placed in the ha•ads of Insp.ctor Field, and there is so reason to doabt that, aided by his colleague and ass stems, he w 11 very shortly succeed ha supply. ing another pa tner to the firm of `• Paul, Rea'path, Robson, and Co." Printed copies of a photograph cf the defaulting solicitor have ben made In large numbers. Judging from this portrait, De in is a man of strong reas vning powers, and certain'y does not appear to be a man naturally disposed to crime. He has a bro d expansive forehead, an eye of considerable intelligence, a mo 1,..h such as physiognomists would say would indicate firmness, and decision of character. Ilia general cast of feature, is such as in the pinatas mini would be asso. elated with th s idea of as" serious" or religious character. laspector Field i a we understand, personally acquainted with Dean, and with the assistance of the numerous phatoarap's, which h ava been very generally distributed, it is im?ossit)le, to suppose that the de :mite r can long escape detection. After he had absconded, he was traced to the Eel Pie House at Twickenham, whe •e he re nained fur several days, and when ca'.led upon to settle his acceent he gave a check upon his bank. which has not been paid. On leaving his home he had but a comparatively small sum in his possess Ron, rot more than 250, which it is said was adv ince 1 to him the p evioua day by a friend in order to enable Wine() meet an accepta Ice then due. Dean has fur nearly thirty years practised as a solicitor. He has left a wife without any apparent means of support. The husband of his only daughter is among those who are the sufferers, he huving advanced several thousand ',minds on ono or more of the numerous forged deeds prepaa ed by the' defaulter.—Observer: It is with much regret that we have to announce the sudden death of Mr. E I ward Lansdale, the eminent surgeon, whe died on Fiid iy from rupture of a blood vessel, at his house in Montazse-street.

A FCLIOOL OF COOKERY.—We willingly dircet attention to an institution, recently e,tablished by a committee of ladies, for the purpose of imparting this knowledge to the poo-. It is proposed also to instruct girls desirous of becoming cooks, or to teach those already so employed ; and especially to educate those qualifying as pure, s in the preparation of articles of diet for the sick. The present situation of this "School of Cookery" (°or that is the title) is 190, Albany-street, Regeas's-park. The articles of food prepared in the kitchens are sold to the poor et little more than cost price, whilst regular customers can have their children taught the eletnen . s cf cookery and the first principles of housewifery gratis. The laudable efforts of the society will be grea ly assisted by persons ordering dishes even of the most elaborate kind for their own tables. There is a clause in the prospectus particu larly addressed to the profession, and which we trust may induce practitioners to assist so praiseworthy an institution. It states that " orders from medical men will be received and the food sent to them if requireti,"--- Ike Lancet. DREADFUL COLLISION' IN THE CHANNEL AND GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. Under the above head, we yesterday published a brief account of the loss of the Dutch steamer Elophia, having been run down off Dungeness by the William Hutt. Tee following has been gattered from the statement of the survivors, who were landed at Dover, and have been forwarded to their destinations by the Dutch Coesul:— , The Sophia was a fine screw steamer of 600 tons !earthen, and had a crew of 19, including the commander, Captain Von Knappen. Her engineers end stokers were English, natives of Bristol. Laden with a valuable cargo she left t :erdam at five o'clock on Thursday evening for Bristol. The night was dark and somewhat s:ormy with rain, but all went well until about a quarter past one on Friday morning, when she was about six miles off Dunge ness pursuing her usual course down Channel. The capteer, who had his wife on board, was below at the the time ; Mr. Eta, the chief mate, had charge of the watch on deck; he was on the forecastle deck, and a Bristol pilot named George Berry was at the wheel. she was steaming at fall speed, at the rata of 81 knots an hour, when a steamer was sad • denly observed approaching her about three times her own length off on the port bow. The mate ins'antly called out for the helm to be put "port, hard a-port," - and ran aft to see that it was dbne so. Before there was time, however, for bar to answer her helm the ships came together with tremendous force. The approaching steamer, which proved to be the William Hutt, a powerful screw collier, bound to Shielde, from Have, came stem cets, and struck the Sophie on the pott side between the fore bulkhead and foremast cutting her down below t 1 ee water line. The shock pro4uced the greatest dismay among those on board, and all who were asleep below rushed up ' on deck. It was soon , discovered that the Sophie was rapidly filling, but for some two or three minutes after the collision she was kept steaming ahead at her full power, the order for her to stop not having been given. Mr.. John Sambrook, the chief engincee, perceiving the vessel was settling down,. then acted upon his own responsibility, and stopped' the engines. The mischief, however, had been done. The connecting pipe of the ballast tanks at the bottom of the ship was broken by the shifting and working about of the tanks, and the water thus, found its way from the fore compartment into the engine-room and after-part of the vessel. The Sophie had two quarter boats a d a long boat. It is stated that the latter was lashed up endways by the foremast, and therefore very difficult to get clear. It is asserted, how ever, that had anything like prompt (triers been given, the lashings might easily have been cut, and the boat got over the ship'a side. The captain was appealed to by the enginefr, but the coufasion still prevailed, and every man was Looking out for the best chance to save himself A rush was made to the starboard quarter boat, and four of the hands got into it, but in loweric gher sbe was dashed against the side of the now rapidly sinking steamer, and seriously stove. The men then got out of her ' • and made for the other quarter boat. In all, 19 got into lea iucladiog the captain, his wife, a female passen ger, and Berry the pilot. As they were about to lower it the ropes were found ti be secured to the davi.s Just at this critical moment the bow of the steamer was seen to getdually disappear under water, and before there was time to get the ropes clear the ship went down, drawing with her the boat and the whole of her unhappy occu pants. Oaly seven of them were saved. Milson, a stoker, on coining to the surface of the water, was seized by the captain's wife, who held on to his jacket with a deathlike grasp. Th 3 poor fellow could not swim, and, as her weight was dragging him down, he contrived to loosen her grasp, and she disappeared. He' then managed to get hold of an oil cask, upon which he floated some twenty minutes before he was pinked up. Rex, another of the crew, saved himself, with a dog, upon a piece of hatchway, and others were preserved by clinging to pieces of bulwark. The remaining four survivors, Sambrook, ihe engineer, Ets, the mate, Morgan, the second engineer, and Vincent, the stoker, took to the disabled quarterboat just as the vessel was sinking. The boat, however, was filling with water, and they expected every moment to share the same fate as their unhappy sh'p, They took off their clothing and stuffed it in the holes which had been stove, and so kepi her afloat until they were picked up by a boat from the William Hatt. The latter brought up within 150 yards of the Sophie, and immediately sent her boa's to the aid of the crew, Owing to the darkness whch prevailed, it was some 20 minutes or half an hour before the tshole of the survivors were picked up. The William Hatt remained near the spot for some time afterwards, in the hope of rescuing more of those on board the phie, and then continued her course to the Downs, where the survivors were put on board a Dover pilot boat and landed at Dover at 7 o'clock on Friday morning. Tne William Hutt sustained serious damage to her stem, and her fore compartment was reported to be full of water. Very fortunately she was light. Hai she been loaded the probability is that she would have gone down with the Sophie. The names of the survivors are John Sambrook, chief engineer ; Mr. Eta, mate ; Morgan, second engineer ; Milson, stoker ; Rex, seaman ; Vincent, stoker ; Breeden, seaman; Hargen, seaman ; Van Nauten, seaman; Croan, sea man; and PajeTsk;, seaman. The late engineer's wife, who was drowned, was on her way to Bristol to endeavour to obtain the release of her husband, who is in pison with the old crew on some charge of smuggling. Nose of the bodies have yet been washed ashore. • CLOSE OF THE AR 7-TREASURE; EX MBITION.—The Committee of the Ar-Treasiires Exhibition have resolvA to close it on the 15,h Oc'ober next.

AssaaraT UPON A CLEaGYMAN AT A RAIL WAY STATION.—OR TiltltSday last, white the REV. T. M. Morrow, of Muckamore, was in tie act cf getting a ticket at the Antrim railway staticl, for Danadry, by the up mid.day train, a fellow called Can. M'Qiillao, son to a butcher of that name in Antiitn, attacked him with great vialenea, striking him in the face, cutting him severely, Igo e sing several of his teeth and stunning him so that he had anao t faller. Mr Morrow at once called upin raitway officials to take hold of him, as a matter of duty, but they would not do so ; and, as the train was just about to leave for Balfas:, MtQuillan got into a third class carriage. Mr. Marrow applied to George J. Clark, Esq., J P., who was at hand, and would at once have issued his warrant f r M`Qaillan's apprehension, only for the dn.. culiy of having it execu'ed, as one of the railway parties had told Mr. Clarke's son that TrloQuillan was on his say to Liverpool to embark for Australia. Acting on Mr. Clarke's advice, Mr. Morrow returned to.the railway station, to aFeertaia from the parties whether M‘Qoillan was really c oin;to' Australia. They not only denied having said so to young 141 , -. Clarke, bat declared that they bad not oven heard where he was going. As to the reason of this das tardly attack, it app-stra that. during the months of May and Jane, several very extensive cockfights were hal near Gie , ,,osy's Lane ends, in the parish of Killead, and about a mile from Mr. Morrow's residence. These were conducted by parties from Antrim and elsewhere. amounting to several hundreds, having whiskey, tents, &c., as in a fair. Mc. Morrow. having been apprised of the last fight, which was to take place on the 221 d June, wrote forthwith for the Antrim constabulary, bat they not having come, Mr. Morrow went to the place himself, sad, as 'public and personal duty, endeavoured, but without success, to put a stop to the cruel and barbarous proceedings. Mr. Morrow was afterwards very active in getting a large number of the parties brought bef.re the bench in Crumlin, where, by the exertioJs of the seticitors of the Belfast Anti- Cruelty Society, twenty-s's of the leaders were convicted and a large sum levied off them by way of fines, one of the parties so fined being Con. MtQuillan. Since the convic- Ufa several parties have been heard to threaten Mr. Morrow with a beating should they ever get him into their power, When Mr. Morrow arrived at the Antrim station on Thursday he saw at the furthest end of the platform several of the cock-filth era ; he obfertied one of them painting him out to those teat were with him, and then the whole party left the platrorna and entered the third-class waiting room, were M'Quil'an was. Meanwhile Mr. Morrow seeing the mitaucevre and dreading they were about no good, went into the b,aoking-office till - the traia • should arrive, and a few minutes after, when the train had just reached the station, M'Qaillian rushed in and made the cowardly attack, and then made off to the third•class carriage, where, it is said, he changed his clothes with some one in the carriage in order to escape identification. Had such an attack been made on a Popish priest by a Protestant there is not a corner of the land in which it would not have been held forth as an example of Protestant intolerance and bigotry.--Z 'elfast News Latter. THE RECENT GREAT BANK FAILURES. LONDON & EtSTERN BANKING CORPORATION ROYAL BRITISH, & TIPPERARY BANKS. THE LONDON AND EASTERN BANK, On Saturday a meeting was advertised to take place at the chambers of Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, for the purpose of hearing all p ar ti es on t h e pet i t i on " presented for the dissolution and winding-up of the London and Eastern Banken Corporation, but it appears that, to suit the convenience of all partie s , t h e h ear i ng of the petition has been adjourned to Mo day, 21st inst., when it will come before Vice-Chancellor W..od speeially at Ipe ich It may be mentioned that this is the first case of the kind where a company formed for commercial purposes in British India has been brought u n de r t h e operation' of the English winding-up law, and a question is likely to be raised as to whether a c impany constituted for trading purposes in India is ameneb!e to the Joint- Stock Companies Winding-up Act, although that act contains a proviso that every trading corporation, whose place of business is in the British dominions,• comes within lei scope ; albeit, its business is conducted in any of our territories abroad. The places of business of the L-tndon Worn Banking Corporation were as follows: Council- street, Calcutta; Forbes-street, Bombay; Cannon street, London; Wes bourne-place, 20, Pall-mall, and 44-, Mark-lane. 'l he corporation, as it appears from the nfficial list of shareholders, c insisted of 0 pr )prietors. Of this number ne fewer th'n 27 were mejors and lieutenant colonels in the East India Comp sn:,,z's service, resident at home and abroad; 20. naive merchants, 2 local judges, and the remainder (between 30 and 40) resident in England and India- It will be necessary, as there are so many shareholdertrresident in India, to appoint a windings 'up agency in that country in connee ion with the one in this, which will tend to inerea'e the expanse and inconvenience in connection wi h the winding-np. Should the Vice-Chancellor - issue an order deeNring that the corporation is to be wound up is Chanceryi that operation will in all probability be conducted by Mr. R. P. Harding, who has had the carriage, under similar circumstances, of the affairs of the Royal British Bank. It has been suggested that the affairs of the London and Eastern Banking Corporation should be thrown into balleruptcy, and if this were to be dine there would be a repetition of pree'ely the same unFeenely collision between the jurisdic-. tion of the C urts of Chancery and Bankruptcy that occurred in the case of the Royal British Bank ; thereby doubling the cos's of winding-up, to be paid by the unfortunate shareholders, to the advantage, wholly and solely, of the lawyers concerned. Toe knowing circular has been issued to the shareholders during the week by certain solicitors:— " 25, Throgmorton-streef, London, 4th Sept., 1857- "Sin : You will doubtless have been informed by the public papers, that a peition has been presented to the Court of Chancery, for the winding up of the affairs of the Lando& and Eastern Banking Corporation. We are informed that this step has been taken from •a strong' conviction that it is the only course by which the shareholders can have justice done to them, and by which they can secure au equal contribution towards the liabilities, and a strict and impar ial investigation into the transactions of ihe direo one which have broug it the hank into its present pasition.. We have long since been instructed by the agents of several shareholders resident abroad. to adopt active measures to protect their interests;. and' although we did not think it expedient to allow our clients to be the petitioners to the Court or Chancery, we are nevertheless fully satisfitd that a step in the right &readmit has been. taken. Experience his- taught us.that it would be impossible to obtain an equal vo'untar contribution from a large body of shareholders ; that the only result of such an attempt would be to throw the whole of • the liabilities upon the willing portion of the shareholders; and that without the coercion of the Court of Chancery, a large number would alto— gether escape from contributing. The effect of such an at t-mpt would he to extract forthwith from the pockets of the willing, shareholders heavy calls on their shares, leaving them at the same 'time still ,expose.d to legal proceedings on the part of ;the creditors, and with. the certain prospect that aLer all they would be driven into the Court of Chancery to obtain an equal and just contribution from tho e who would otherwise avoid making any pap] err. Without the aid of the strong arm of ,he law, it would also be impos— sible to obtain a strict and searching investigation into the transactions of those by whom the affairs of the bank have been conducted,. and if it should he discovered, as there is grave reason to suspett, that the funds of the bank have been irregularly dealt with, it is only by the aid of the Court of Chancery that the shareholders can compel the persons, responsible far such transactions 'o refund any moneys improperly applied, and prevent the whole of the heavy liabilities of rho bank from falling on the innocent shareholders, Upon an older being made for the dissolu— tion and winding on of the bank, we think that the share— holders will be best p - otected by appinting independent gentlemen as official managers'' On Saturday it was understood , that another 'director, a. _ . large shareholder, is absent. It is stated on the one hand that the bank is only carrying on business nominally int Threadneedle-street, where the London offices btive been removed, and on the other that it is transacting no busi ness whatever beyond that of prep iring itself to be wpund up. It is stated that the bank has hitherto been reeeivitag pecuniary assistance from the Oriental Bank on certain termi, but that, in consequence of the improbability of the calls not being responded tom, and the non-.ealleation of the.- Eecurities, the Oriental Bank row hesitate to render farthrr assistance. It is rumoured that it was at one time in contemplation by the Oriental BaLk to purchase the business of the London and Eastern, and the circumstance of their rendering this assistance somewhat favours the assumption as to this being the ulterior object intended. some of the shareholders, it is said, have given promissory notes in payment of call 4, but it is questionable whether, when the time comes, if these notes will be hono ure d. The liabilities, as far as can yet be ascertained, amcunt to about a quarter of a million, exclusive of securities. THE ROYAL BB ITISH BANK. As regards tl.O present position of matters in the Royal British Bank, it is understood that all requisite exertions are being used in carrying out amicable conferences with the unfortunate shareholders in preference to resorting to vexatious and ruinous litigation. A vast amount of inter communication and correspondence is going on between them and the official manager of the Curt of Chancery. Mr. Peirce , : Ii r ling, relatiie to the amount they can con tribute towards oefraying the liabili ies of the habit, and in many cases the assts ante of friends 11%s been sought to enable them to make some kind of contribution. These compromises are being carried out under the im mediate direction of Vice Chancellor Sir T. Kindersley. The liability of those shareholders who took shares after the supplemental charter was obtained, being supposed to be governed by the decision of the court in Brockwell's case, which in effect relieves nearly one-half of the re sponsible shareholders, and appears to give them the right to claim their money back again, will, it is understood, be talon on appeal to the Howe of Lords by the other half of the shareh.elders. It is manifestly of importance that the law of sacs a state of things should be formally settled, since, under the present decision, it is in the power of shareholders who may have received dividends on their shares to say they were induced by fraud to take those shares, and if so, many shareholders in other abortive companies will be able, while receiving dividends, to repudiate their liabilities to contribute .. to the losses Although under the act passed last session, which , gave shareholders abroad the liberty to, return and enter. into compromise, it is stated that a large number o f the share holders are unwilling to avail themselves of it,. and it is regarded as altogether doubtful whether any very, large amount will be obtained from them to satisfy the creditors, who under the bankruptcy have received 8s in the pound, and who, it is expected, will receive about is m.re. THE TIPPERARY BANIL Al er passing through an am-.unt of litigation seldom surpassed, and which will absorb one-half of the assets, the affairs of the Tipperary Bank have now arrived at the stag.) when it is neces.ary to call the- claims of crelitore in, in order to ascermia the amount for which the share holders ea the list will be liable to contribute in the dis charge of the immense amount of liability in which the bank was involved by the defalcation of the lce James Sadlei7.
