NAVAL.

PORT,MOIITH, No;. Ajar, 56, steam-screw I
block-ship, is fast progressing, and will be complet in about 1
two months for the trial which it is intended shall take place
with her screw, previous to fitting the Edinburgh in the ,
same manner, as some question has arisen whether a slight
alteration in the position of the screw would not be desirable.
The Vengeance, Capt. S. Lushington, is still short about 90
hands. At this season of the year we should expect them
more ready to enter, but it appears good seamen, such as are '
required for a British man-of-war, are not to be so easily
obtained. She will be ready in about ten days, and will
proceed first to Gibraltar to bring home a regiment, and
afterwards to Cork for the winter. The Fairy yacht went
out to try her screw this morning. She left her moorings,
went out round the Nab, and returned into harbour in the
short space of one hour, and is now ready for her Majesty's
orders. It is expected Lord Frederick Fitz Clarence will suc-
ceed Sir H. Pakenham in the command of this garrison.
SHEERNESS.—The Birkenhead, steam-troop-ship, was
commissoncd on Thursday, by Commander Ingram. The
Belleisle, troop-ship, Captain Kingcorne, will sail as soon as
the weather, which bas been lately very boisterous, mode-
rates. She has taken a small detactment of marines on
board for a passage to theWestlndies, whether the Belleisk
will shortly proceed to move some regiments stationed there.
The Albatross, 16, has hoisted the pendant at Chatham, and
is fitting along her hulk The htutine, 12, Commander
Tryon, is ready for VA, and will proceeed to Sheerness in
the course of next week. Captain Price, appointed Superin-
tendent of Sheerness Dockyard, arrived there on Tkurday,
and superseded Captain Arthur, C. 8., just promoted to the
rank of Rear-Admiral on the white list.
LIGHTNING Cortmtcroas.—The Court of Directors of the
East India Company have given notice, in last night's
Gazette, that all ships engaged in future by the E. I. Com-
pany for the conveyance of troops or ammunition to any of
the presidencies in India, will be required to be fitted with
lightning conductors, and that a preference will be given to
such ship; so fitted as may hereafter be engaged for the con-
' veyauce to India of ordinary stores.

THE RIVER PLATE.

FALMOUTH, THURSDAY EVENING.—Her Majesty's
steam-ship Gorgon, Capt. Croutch, put in here to-slay for
coals on her voyage from Buenos Ayres for Portsmouth.
She left Monte Video on Sept. 12th, Rio de Janeiro 22nd,
and Bahia 30th. Of course the chief topic of inquiry on the
landing of her mails related to the definite settlement or
otherwise of the River Plate uffairs. It is said that Mr.
Hood, the British minister (who has now come home with
his eon, as passengers), has been altogether unsueces,ful in
fulfilling the intentions of the British and French govern-
ment: in terminating the dispute, not because of the proposi-
tions being unacceptable to the native authorities and chiefs
in the river Plate—on the contrary they were heartily
assented to, but owing to discord prevaibng between Messrs.
Ouseley and Detfaudis on the one part, and Mr. Hood
on the other; the latter, it appears, only supporting
the views and policy of the governments at home, by whcse
instructions he had undertaken an unfortunate mission.
It has all along been stated that a party inside Monte Video,
who now are trafficking largely with the squadron, and who
would be ruined in case of the war finally terminating, are
in the background of this extraordinary contra movement of
the two ministers. During the cessation of hostilities the
combatants on the lines had met together with the usual
salutes of friendly congratulation. AU the respectable per-
sons who formerly lived at Monte Video have withdrawn to
the suburbs, and the town is occupied by only the lowest of
the people, by about 180 native soldiers, and by the English
and French troops. Buenos Ayres was blockaded by the
Firebrand. Some small vessels under the Sardinian and
other foreign flags, were licensed to go in by the Monte
Videan government, and which was winked at by the two
Admirals, for the purpose of as,isting the returns of the
Monte Videan custom-house. And this is done while no
British merchants' ships may communicate there. There is
nothing new from Brazils.
The Devastation. Sir Charles Ilotham, was at Bahia,
bound to the Coast of Africa, to touch at Ascension. Like-
wise the Columbine had put in, bound to China, with da-
mage to her bowsprit. The Curacao, at Rio; the Comus
and Lizard, in the Parana; the Racer, at Colons ; the Satel-
lite, at Maldonado; the Acorn and Harpy, in the Uruguay;

STATUETTE OF TIM EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.
Count D'Orsay seem 4 to divide his time among crayon
sketches, portraits in oil, statuettes in plaster, and figures in
bronze, on horseback. The last of his works, a sta uctte of
the Emperor of Russia, is now on view at Messrs. Hunt and
Roskell's, in New Bond-street. The emperor is represented
in an easy attitude, his right hand resting in an opening be-
tween the buttons of his coat, while his left hand holds a hat
and feather. Stiff military collars, and tight trowsers with
broad .tripes, and still broader straps, are difficult things to
deal with in plaster and in marble; but the Count has
wrestled with these impediments, and shown considerable tact
and skill in the way he has kept the tailor in good humour
I with the drapery of the figure. The head is somewhat de-
ficient in intelligence; but the features are like, and the action
aristocratic.

NORFOLK ESTUARY COMPANY.

The first annual meeting of the shareholders was
held yesterday at the British Notel, Cockspur-stteet.
The chair was taken by Lord G. Bentinck, M.P. The
company was originated in 1837, the object then proposed
being to reclaim, by means of a cut and embankments,
200,000 acres of land covered by "the Wash," though in
the act of parliament obtained last session, the amount has
been reduced to 32,000. The capital required is about half
a million.—The Chairman opened the proceedings by an
elaborate financial and enginecriag address, which occupied
about two hours in delivery. After tracing at length the
history of the proceedings in parliament, down to the passing
of the act, he gave • sketch of the finances. The amount
subscribed by the original shareholders was 2,2161.; the
actual disbursements in connexion with the act amounted to
4,9381. 4s. 11d.; the ascertained liabilities amounted to
' 10,3271. 145., and the unascertained to 7,5001 ; making a total
of 24,9801. 18s. 11d. In this sum, however, was not in-
cluded 4,0001. which the company would have to pay twelve
months hence to Mr. Cooper, and 3001. to Mr. Lestrange to
prevent opposition. lie now came to the most serious part
of his address. The report of the directors had not, he was
sorry to say, been agreed to unanimously, and some of those
who constituted the majority in its favour had rather de-
ferred to his (the chairman's) opinion than put forward
their own views. The fault which was found with the
report was, that it gave too gloomy a character to their
prospects. He felt deeply the responsibility which devolved
upon him, and he could never have held up his
head for shame if he had not honestly and truly
stated his convictions. Though he recommended the
shareholders to go on, he could not hold out to
them any golden visions of great gains as the result of
their doing so. The points upon which some of his col-
leagues and himself differed from the engineer, related to the
period at which the several intakes might be made, and espe-
cially the expense of the second and third intakes. Sir John
Rennie, the engineer of the company, had estimated that the
cost of the new cut would be 13-5,6311., and that that of
enclosing 30,000 acres, would be 363,970/., making together
499,6011., or within 3991. of the estimated capital. From an
estimate, however, of Messrs. Cubitt and Randall, it
appeared that after paying 4 per cent. interest for three
years, the expenses of obtaining the Act of Parliament, the
new cut, with the purchase of land, would cost 2.50,0001. Sir
John Rennie estimated that the first ten thousand acres
might be embanked at a cost of 151. per acre, which would
give for the whole 150,0001. Deducting 30,0001. for the ex-
penses of the act, and 15.000/. more for interest for three
years at four per cent., the absolute cost of the works, which ,
must be completed before the embankment could be com-
menced,
would be 205,0001. ; 150,0001. for the embankment
of the first ten thousand acres, added to 205,0001. for the
works, made 355,00e1. ; and there would thus only be •

sad dirty condition. The aputinent was it a very dreadful
state of filth. Upon nuking • poet aeorteas examination he
found extensive disease of the pleura gad lungs, %elfish fully
accounted for death. The stomach was completely eandy,
and had not contained any food for several hours bawl)
death. Mr. Brooks, the relieving officer of St. Mary, New-
ington, stated to the coroner and jury that no application
had been made to the parish authorities, otherwise the de- '
erased and her daughter would have received immediate
relief.—The coroner said the case was one of great distress,
and suggested that the officer (Mr. Brooks) should mist the
afflicted daughter, and see that her circumstances were pro-
perly. placed before the board of guardians at their next
meeting in the workhouse, so that something might be done
for her.—The jury, having unanimously concurred in the
worthy coroner's remarks, returned a verdict of " Died from
natural disease of body, greatly weakened by the want of
proper nourishment."--SLOr-WORX AND DESTITUTION.
—By Mr. Baker, at the Duke of Wellington, Limehouse-
fields, on the body of Julia Fitzgerald, aged sixteen years,
which lay in a little back-room at No. 17, George-street,
whither the jury proceeded to view it. The room presented
bare walls, not a Engle article of furniture being in the
room but a single chair and a few br 'ken articles of
crockery. On the case being known to the relieving officers
of the pariah, they proceeded to supply her with bed and
bedding, and every nourishment. The deeesaed was said to
have died from violence. It appeared by the evidence of
aeverewitnesses, that the mother of deer:rived, a widow, and
two other children, of wham deceased was the eldest, ob-
tained their living by making slop waistcoats. They were
in great distress, and had formerly resided at No. 17,
Samuel-street. Not being able to pay 12s. 6d., five weeks'
rent, the landlord distrained and took away every article of
furniture they were possessed of ; on which occasion a dis-
pute took place, and the eon and two married daughters of
the landlord beat the decesscd.--Mr. Horton, surgeon, said
he had attended the deceased ; she died from pleurisy,
which might have been accelerated by violence.—The
coroner said the case assumed a serious aspect, and ad-
journed the inquiry.—AN INFANT SUFFOCATED.-By Mr.
aker, at the London Hospital. on the body of Elizabeth
Clanery, six weeks old, whose parents are in poor dream-
stances, living at No. 11, Montague-street, Whitechapel. It
appeared that on Monday night the deceased was put in a
bed where her brother, who is above 15 months old, was sleep-
ing. On the following morning it was left there while her
mother was preparing breakfast, when on going to it again
she was found under her brother with her mouth against the
pillow. A medical man wad called in who stated that life
was extinct. Verdict " Accidental death."

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

RTALL e. TYE QUEEN: IN ERROR.—APPLICATION TO
AMEND A RETURN TO A WRIT OF ERROR.—The plaintiff,
having been convicted of perjury in an indictment containing
four counts, brought a writ of error, and assigned errors, in
April last. The joinder in error took place in May last ; the
cause was act down at the head of the Crown paper ; and,
but for press of ether business, would have been heard on
Saturday last. On Tuesday a rule was obtained that called
on the plaintiff to show cause why a writ of certiorari shosld
not issue to remove the record of the indictment into this
Court in order that the transcript of it returned to the writ
of error might be amended by it on the judge's notes. The
object of the amendment was to correct the very errors which
the now plaintiff had assigned; namely, a statement that the
jury " did " find him guilty, instead of "do " find; and the
further statement that they find him polity " cf the perjury and
misdemeanor aforesaid," instead of "the premises aforesaid."
The argument ou the rule for the amendment came on
in the first instance, and the questions discussed were-1.
Whether the amendment ought to be made in this court or
in the court below. '2. Whether the court below, the Com-
missioners of Oyer and Terminer and Gaol Delivery for the
county of York, at the Winter Assizes in the year 184.5, still
had existence for any purpose but the ministerial one of
returning the record or a transcript of it. 3. Whether the
application was not made too late.—Mr. Pashley appeared
for the plaintiff in error, and Mr. Bliss for the Crown.
Lord Denman said that the court would rot at present
determine in which court the amendment ought to be made,
but would enlarge the time for hearing the argument on
the writ of error, to give the Crown an opportunity of
applying to the court below to make the amendments
desired.—Rule accordingly.

ships consider that the 68-pounder guns, of 113 cwt., are too
heavy for service in steamers, and direct them to be with-
drawn from the naval service, and to retain the 56-pounder
guns, of h 5 cwt., for arming the upper decks of steam•
guard ships.

NEPAUL.
(From the DeJA i Gazette, Ott. 7.)
Of the state of affairs at Katmandoe, wmiequent on the
fearful tragedy recorded in our issue of the 30th ultimo, we
have been favoured with an outline which we give as re-
eeived. It extend, to September 22. At that date matters
seemed to have assumed • more tranquil appearance, al-
though the British officers bad been warned not to leave
their quarters, as the dependants (chiefly soldiers) of the
murdered chieft were considered in a state bordering on
mutiny, and which it was feared might vent its fury on the
Sahib log. A number of new appointments had taken
place, and the seven brothers of Jung Bahadoor, the chief
mentioned previously , and some of whom had been wounded,
have been appointed kajeehs, generals, and colonels. As it
is, we believe, the custom in Nepaul for the higher office-
' bearers to relieve the attendants of their predecessors by
men of their own appointing, the new ministers have not
been slow in followinf so laudable a custom, by which how-
ever they. have, especially Jung Bahadoor, created a number
of enemies, who will, it is surmised, cause him in particular
a good deal of uneasiness for some time to come ; in almost
every other respect quiet had been restored. We hear
nothing of the return of the Maharajah.

re took place in the town and neighbourhood.

A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday, at twelve
o'clock, at the Foreign-office. The ministers present were
Lord John Russell, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of
Minto, Sir George Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Earl Grey,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Auckland,
Viscount Morpeth, Lord Campbell, the Earl of Clarendon,
the Marquis of Clanricarde, and the Right lion. T. B. Mac-
aulay. The Lord Chancellor afterwards joined his colleagues.
The council eat three hours.
The Marquis of Lansdowne (Lord President) left
town after the council for his seat, Bowood-perk, Wilts.
A deputation from Liverpool, ou the subject of a
reduction of the duty en tea, had an interview witn Lord J.
Russell on Saturday, at his official residence in Downing
street.
Despatches were received on Saturday at the
Colonial-office from the Governors of the West India
Colonies.

It is with regret we give, from an accredited
source, the rumour that Count St. Aulaire is about to cease
to represent his sovereign at this court. In the altered rela-
tions between the countries, it must, no doubt, be painful for
a nobleman, who so cordially supported the entente cordiale,
to continue to fill the mate office now that the entente no
longer exist.. The count's own desire, therefore, must be
the chief cause of his ratal. If either court have grounds for
' offence in recent events, it surely is not that of the Tuile-
ries. His Excellency the Count St. Aulaire is now in
Paris, and may be expected to arrive shortly at the
French Embassy from that capital, to have an
audience of the Queen, to take leave of her
Majesty. Ile will take his departure in January.
The Count de Jarnac will remain as Marg.: d'affaires, and
will on that account retain the possession of Hertford-house.
It is generally reported that some months will elapse ere the
Count de St. Aulaire's successor is appointed, and en atten-
dant the Count de Jarnac will discharge the diplomatic
functions. The Count Louis de Nmilles, the second secre-
tary to the embassy, is also about to leave this country for
good. We have been informed the count departs for France
early in January. The Countess de St. Auhare will nut
accompany the noble count to this country. The Count de
St. Aulaire has been ambassador here since M. Ouixot left
this country to take office, on the dismissal of M. Thiers;
previous to that the Count Sebastiani was the ambassador
extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. Other changes
in the personnel of the embassy are rumoured.

YORK, Nov. 21.—Monday being Martinmas day,

Our impphes were small, and previous rates were fully main-

realized. The following was the general currency to the

failure of a part 7 here, whose extensive transactions have
long been remar has caused a sudden stop to all specula-
tions ; business is consequently at a stand still. The
liabilities are supposed to be large, and very little assets. The
trade will likely now fall into its legitimate channels, and
the former regular dealers will operate with operate with
more confidence. We quote the price 70«, mixed Nos.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY. Rour o'clock.
We elsewhere announce the massacre of a number
of Neetorians, who had been captured by Bedr Khan
Bey, in his attack on Bias. The remnant of this
Christian people has always been regarded as under
the special care of our ambassador at Constantinople,
and it is to be hoped that British interference
some
wil
again be exerted in their behalf
I. We annex
farther particulars of the state of affairs in Koor-

distan :
After the massacre of the Nestorians, Bedr Khan Bey sent
Mahmond Khan (one of his satellites) with the heads of his
prisoners, as a token of defiance, to Tayar Puha of Manason],
who was advancing against him, with 12,000 men, d was

COMMERCIAL 8, MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET 8,: CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Reports were current on the Paris Bourse., it seems,
at the close of last week, that the Bank of France, finding
its reserve of specie feat diminishing, had found itself under
the necessity of selling a portion of the Rentes which
it held. But, according to advices received this morn-
ing, from trustworthy quarters, it results that these
reports were without foundation, and that no such scarcity
of specie existed as was pretended. Not only the bank dis-
counted as freely as before, but discounts were not more diffi-
cult with private and joint-stock banking concerns.
Responsible signatures found accommodation as usual.
These accounts represent a more favourable state of
monetary affairs than we have had for some time
past. The statement of the Minister of Commerce,
that the supplies of grain, of home-production, will not be
so short as was anticipated, would assist, it is said, to re-esta-
blish confidence and encourage industry, which would tend
to increase the circulation of capital.
Consols opened this morning at 941 to 1 for both money
and account, but took a start a short time since to 941
buyers, with a good market. The government broker
took 15,0001., 31 per cents. for the savings' banks
this morning. These day-by-day official purchases
begin to attract notice in the stock market, from
the large aggrepte amount of stock they have absorbed
within a few Weeks past, not less than for several hundred
thousands, apart the minor purchases by the same broker
for account of Friendly Societies and the reduction of na-
tional debt.
The jobbers and speculators are busily engaged in preparing
for the settlement of the Consol account, which falls due on the
28th current. It is believed indeed,and it is not improbable,that
a considerable portion of the accounts are already arranged,
or carried over to a large extent. The fact, if so it be, would,
independent of other circumstances concurring to inspire
more confidence in the market, account for the improve-
ment in prices yesterday and to-thy. Accountscarried ovar at
the present ruling rates, with the addition of h more for the
next account, would show that the speculators for the fall
have had to submit to • virtual reduction of 1 per cent.
Exchequer bills are 9s. to 12a. premium.
Half-past Two o'clock.—Console have receded to 91i to I
for money and the account, but are 94/ buyers for next
account.
In foreign stocks we have nothing worthy of notice to
report. The prices remain with scarcely any alteration.

LANCIBIIIItE.

E [PLOSION OF ♦ STEAM-ENGINE.—OR Friday after-
noon last, a locomotive steam-engine employed in the con-
veyance of earth to fill up a valley on the Blackburn, Dar-
wen, and Bolton Railway, at Over Damen, exploded from
being overcharged with steam, and the engine-man, a per-
son of the name of Heaviside, was thrown sixty yards in the
air. When he alighted he was of course dead; his features
were hcrribly disfigured, and could scarcely be recognised.
The stoker was at a distance, but was much scalded.
A DARING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY WAS MADE IN
LIVERPOOL ON FRIDAY, In the middle of the day a lad
who was carrying his master's cash box into a court devoted
to offices branching out of Chapel-street, was knocked down
by a fellow with a bludgeon, who ran off with the cash-
box. He was pursued by a crowd of nenrly 300 persons,
yet strange to say (dropping the stick and box), he escaped.
the poor lad remains seriously ill.
CAPTURE OP BUROLARYI,—LIVERPOOL, MONDAT.—TO-
day, four men, George Martin, John Wright, Miles Fits-
morris, and James Davis, were brought before Mr. Rushton,
charged with burglariously entering the spirit vaults of Mr.
James Tracy, corner of Leigh-street, Parker-street. Two
decanters of wine had been drunk. Nothing else was
missing. Mary Ann Kirby, a servant, said she was going to
bed between twelve and one o'clock, and saw four men
(whom she could not identify) standing at the front-door of
Mr. Tracy's vaults. Two of them appeared to open
the lock and went in, while the other two walked
about for a while, and then turned up Leigh-street,
towards the back-yard. Sho caused information to be'
given to the police, and Inspector Savage mustering five
men, so arranged them as to render escape impossible.
Davis was found under a table in the Feathers Hotel, to
which he had gained access from a window in the back-
yard; said the other three prisoners were arrested in the
vaults. Several chisels were found, and it was discovered
that an attempt had been made to break through the wall
into a watchmaker's shop. The prisoners were committed
for trial at the cessio s,

ts nearly SUOI. have been promised. It is intended by the
committee, which consists of noblemen and gentlemen con-
nected with the principality, as well as members of the
National Society, forthwith to publish the returns of schools
in each parish of Wales and the county of Monmouth, and
to adopt measures for establishing institutions far training
teachers in North and South Wales. In addition to this,
the committee contemplate the establishment throughout

a fund will be raised fur aiding the efficient annual main-
tenance of elementary schools during such a period as may
be necessary. Sir Thomas Phillips has accented the office

RAILWAY NEWS.

Yesterday there was a fair business in shares
and scrips. North British lines were hardly so firm,
i except Aberdeen. In North Staffordshire, after the
close of regular business, there was a further im-
provement to 3 to I premium. Black walls were in re-
quest at some advance in price, from the reported
increase in the traffic of late. Some active dealings were
carried on in the Indian lines, upon the revived report of the
Indian Board having come to a determination in favour of
the East Indian, and Great Western Bengal. The quota-
tions improved slightly in consequence, but were not sup.
ported. The report was believed to be premature, and East
InOians in some, rather considerable quantities were there-
fore ,sressed upsn the market fur money and account.
The:e was much excitement in the Liverpool share-
market, on the strength of a report of an arrangement be-
tween the London and North Western, and the Ruddcrsfield
and Manchester, and Leeds and Dewshary ; the prices of tho.

and by some means walked nn to a leaden fiat on the first
, floor, from which place he fell on to the roof of the ►bed.—
Mr. Yeldham, of Stamford-street, surgeon, said that he had

Witness bad frequently seen him in an excited state, fancying
that be saw a quantity of phantoms and fairies dancing

when found, and had probably died tram injury to the
brain.—The Caroller remarked on the extraordinary nature
of the ease, after which the jury recorded a verdict, " That

tally falling nit a Laden flat, in a fit of delirium, resulting
from iutemperauce."—The deceased was just on the point of
marriage, and was possessed of considerable property.
