DUBLIN, lAN 12.

Although Count Spouneck's appointment as Direc-
tor-General of the Customs has not failed to give
great dissatisfaction is some quarters, and even to
excite suspicions of the honest intentions of the pre-
sent Cabinet (for your readers will remember that
he was Minister of Finance in the late administra-
tion), yet it must be confessed that he is an efficient
man of business and has obtained a great insight
and experience in the mysteries of the Danish
finances, the tariff, and the custom-house regulations,
best adapted to the character and disposition of the
Danes. It must also not be overlooked that though
his appointment is an influential one and naturally
commands a good deal of patronage, yet it can
scarcely be called a political office, and is moreover
under the immediate control of the Minister of
Finances.

I am able to confirm what I mentioned in my

been offered to the Danish envoy in London, General
von Oxholm ; bat it is not yet known a Nether he
will accept the post. Till a successor is definitively

the French language he understands enough to be
able to confer with the foreign envoys accredited
here, by whom he is personally much liked and uni-
versally respected.

The Sampson, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate of 167
horse-power, Capt. Lewis T. Jones, arrived at Spithead early
this morning from the Crimea and Malta. She left Malta
on the 30th of December, arrived at Gibraltar Jan. 4, and
left on the 6th for England. This ship, it will be recol-
leeted, !warred most severely from the effects of the great
gale in the Black Sea, when so many transports were lost
or disabled. She bears evidence of the severity of the trial
to which she was put. When the gale was at its highest'
the transports (No. 1 and 2), Pyrenees and Ganges, came
down upon her in company, having fouled, and within the
space of a minute her three masts, bowsprit, and figure
head were all vrried clean away. It was a matter
of astonishment that the ship did not go down
from the concussion. That she did not Is mainly
owing to the presence of mind of Captain Jones and
the efficiency of his officers and crew, joined to the
feet that the Sampson had steam up in anticipation of
the gale, and by which the was enabled to force her way
between the two transports, separating them from each
other. The crash is described as being terrific. The Setup.
son has come home under jury masts, put into her at Malts,
and in place of her own figurehead she has had mounted at
her bows the figurehead of the Ganges, which was left by
the latter vessel on board the Sampson at the time of the
crash. In addition is these injuries from the violence of
the weather this ship has a number of shell and cannon
shot marks which she received at Odessa and Sebastopol.
She is, however, still a noble ship, and will well
repay the cost of a refit. She has come home without her
guns. Two of them were landed at Balaklava for the use
of the naval brigade before Sebastopol, end the ether four
were left at Malta for any servicelor which they may be re-
quired. The boilers of this ship require repairs, but she
still has made a fine passage home, averaging about 10
knots per hour from Malta. It is expected she will be'
sent to Woolwich for repairs. The Spiteful and Ardent
were at Malta when she left, and the Hada, 6, paddle
sloop, at Gibraltar. The Mews, 14, screw sleep, Captain
Farquhar, had arrived at Gibraltar from England, and
gone on to the Black Sea. Oa the Ist of January a large
three-decker laden with troops was passed—supposed to be
the Neptune, 120. The Sampson has brought home 26
wounded and sick invalids from the fiat, comprising sea*
men and marines ; also Lieutenant Rogers of the Arethusa,
50, and Mr. Kerr, midshipman, from the same ship. One
of her own lieutenants, the Hon. M. H. Nelson, was left at
Sebastopol, engaged in service in the trenches, with the
naval bilged,.
M. Crispi, an Italian avocet, the editor of the Maltese
paper Stazelta, and expelled from Malta for a political
offence, has bad a passage to England in the Sampson.

ing item the Crimea and Malts. She has brought home 214
