LOSS OP TEE 8013 W STEdif SHIP CLYDE.

We regret to announce the total loss of the screw
steam ship Clyde, in the Gulf of S. LSWIVIICS, but roost
intsualely the Melancholy casualty was unattended with any
lees of life.

TM Clyde, Captain Micklereid, sailed from Quebec for
Glargow, at 10.15 a.m., on the 22nd of August, with seven
cabin and sixty stamp and a full cargo of wheat
end sakes. Everything ed favourably until 1.30 a.m.
on the 2414 when she struck upon a rock and heeled over on
the port aide. The captain was on the bridge giving direc-
tion& at the moment of the concussion, and the man on the
Iceboat had just sung out 11 All's well." Although the
shock, when she struck, was any peat, it was
believed that she bad not received soy material
injury, end that the cutting away of the toasts
would enable the captain to get her of. These en-
I 'teatime were unrealised, and she began to maks
water very rapidly, and he twenty minutes her stern wee
quite under water. The captain is reported to hove given
hie orders very coolly, sod the pmeengers behaved in the
meet orderly manner. Indeed, it le stated that had anything
like a panic broke out amongst them the lace of life would
very likely have haw very sermons. They wen eddy em-
barked in boats, end all kept in company until daylight,
when Captain Mieklereid found they were off the low
cirZeg
rocksend islets of the Paraquette. He Conte-
i bore away for the mainland, which be remelted in
two hours. Having :embed Hudson Bay Point the ship-
wrecked perceives sad crew were hospitably received
and sheltered by Mr. Henderson, agent to the com-
pany, who threw open hie home end buildings and did
everything in his power to add to their comfort. The captain
and a portion of the crew on the 25th whited the wreck
and succeeded in getting part of the luggage of some of the
steerage pansengen, which wee in the fore-pert of the hold
of the ill-fated vessel, but the captain, Aar& and all the
cabin paciengers owing to their birth. being sit lost every
thing they poesseeed. A email schooner, of 70 tons, the
Lewis Perrier, having appeared in the offing, she was char-
tered by the captain to convey the passengers and their log-
me beak to Quebeck —from which the former were tram-
(pried to the screw steamship Angle-S ,son, and boded la
Liverpool on Tuesday—the crew proceeding to Quebec in
the schooner. The passengers gawk in the highest terms of
the attention and courtesy of Captain M'Maeter and the
officers of the Anglo Saxon. This is the fourth steamship
lost in the St. Lawrence la a short space of time, owing
to the ragged state of the onset and the want of adequate
lights.

DUTY OP THE UNREPRESENTED.

(From the Loader.)
One-silth of the voters of the United Kingdom,
and one-fortis& at the adult mate population, wall shortly be

vested with owtherity to elect, if they please, • majority of
the Home of Commons. As there are divergencies of opt.
don, however, among the electoral sixth, and the national
fortieth, one million of men out of six millions will divide the
chance of establishing the government of Great Britain for
seven years, upon tory or liberal principles. To every man
who has • vote there are fee men who have sane • how then
can the nereprewated he mid to have duties com;rolad with
• general election f

They can Weems the elects*, ; they can compare their
own opinions, by shows of hands, with thole of the privi-
leged body. It would be a very imposts:it result if, at a
large number of manly sod borough returns, the derision of
a show of bands et the nomination should have boa found
to have been reversed upon going to the poll ; that would be
one test of the nature of publics opinion, as continhated by
electoral opinion.
The tuimpremantod should be cereful to attend the also-
thus in large bodice, end make their voices beard where
their muffins' will not be received. They should exhibit no
sullenness, which would be construed as apathy, but should
contrast their brood and multitudinous masses with the
shrivelled shadows so often called constituencies. Wherever

—....
it is practicable, a candidate sh,oild be brought forward on
advanced popular principles, ao that the returning ofilcer
should be forced, upon a show of bands, to declare him
elected, although it may nut be intended to drive his oppo-
nents to the poll; in no case should this opportunity be
mimed. The Übe& party might dem gain a considerable
secession of moral Whence in the Hones of Commons.

At the maze time time the members of the new Nouse of
Commons should carry with them to London a cloud of peti-
tions from the unrepresented clams This would stimulate
the liberal party in parliament, and force on • serious discus-
aion between the advocates and the enemies of reform.
We can conceive no fallacy miss injurious than that which
supposes the unrepresented part of the population to have no
duties to perform during the period of a general election.
They have the more important duties to perform bemuse
they are unrepresented. They have to make an advance to-
amide tepreeentation. Reform will be, in all probsbility,
the question that will ultimately divide the neat parliament
into an opposition and • ministerial party. Now, it would
be a grievous error to commit the Interest. of the non-electors
to the keeping of the dodo's, and to trust implicitly in
them.

CONSERVATIVES 42. D PERLITES.

(From the MN Bell.)
We hoar on all sides a great deal of silly stuff about
a coalition. Fudge! There is no coalition, because there are
no heterogeneous elements to coalesce. There is no material
question at lame between Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli on
the one hand, and Mr. fil&datone and Mr. Sidney Herbert
on the other. We do not know what amount of understand-
ing there may be, or whether there is any, among these gen-
tlemen as to future co-operation on the floor of the parliament
house. Certainly the China debate afford.. no indication of
anything of this sort, because the divided leaders of conser-
vative opinions were also acting in concert with such avowed
opponents as Mr. Cobden, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. J. Planners
and others, who preferred ...evincing the exigencies of party
to allying themselves with fraud, oppression, and violence.
But there can be no doubt that in the leading political
questions which are likely for foOMO years to occupy our poll-
tir ions, the Peelite statesmen may be expected to take the
same views ea Lord Derby and his friends. Idris *retire its
reputdini is the most natural and the most complete bond of
union in political life, and se this bond of union is likely to as-
sociate there gentlemen together in opposition, it is reasonable
enough to suppose it may bring them into office together.
Such a supposition ie surely no great novelty. When the
memory of the angry feud a hieh is now bed at rest was much
stronger than itnow is, on lord Derby'e being summoned
by the Queen to the helm of state, Mr. Gladstone was one of
the first to whom ho applied for moistener) in Mining
cabinet. On &subsequent cannon, at the diaruptke of Lord
Aberdeen's cabinet, he again applied to Mr. Gladstone and
Mr. Ilerbert, who would no doubt have joined his govern-
ment, bad not the negotiation for that purpose been en-
trustcd to Lord Palniereton.
Such a coalition, if so it may be called, is stately not one
of the coalitions which England does not love. It Is Mt the
compromise of entsgenistic principles, but it is the &walks-

demand continues fair, at advanced rates. Manufactured
iron is dull, and the makers are inclined to give way in price.

maintains its price. Speller continues to command the ad-
vanced rates, but there se little doing. During the week a
considerable butane's has been done in tin, end prices of

Mr. Justice Crowther and Mr. Justice Wilke arrived in
Oxford yesterday morning. and proceeded at ones to the
County Hall, where the commission was opened. This
morning their lordships commenced business, Mr. Jus-
tice Crowther presiding in the crown oonet, and Mr.
Justice Wilke in the niat priue court. The calendar
contain about 20 prisoners for trial. There are four
cams of burglary, one of arson, ono of sheep stealing,
one of bestiality one of manslaughter ; the remainder of the
cases are of little importance.
In the crown mart to-day seven cases have been
di
of, but with the exception of two. a ease of anon andone
of burglary, they were of a trifling and uninteresting cha-
racter._

ii:ecleriek Barnett, aged 26 labourer, was charged with
Petting tire to a stack of hay, the property of G. G. Harocrort,
Esq., M.l'., at Cullum, on the 13th of January.
Mr. Grippe prosecuted ; the prisoner was undefended.
Tho case was very clearly made out, for it appeared that
on the morning of the 13th of January, about 7 o'clock,
George Phipps, in the employ of the prosecutor, was going
to his work .when he passed the prisoner, who wee smoking
his pipe, and going in the direction of the stack. In about
10 minutes after the stack was on fire, and the prisoner wee
seen a aloft distance from it. He was taken in custody, and
admitted that ho had set it on tire, as he had no victuals, and
was tired of his life and country.
The judge sentenced him to four years' penal servitude.

GOING 70 MEET THE MAIL STEAMS&

The Royal Mail steamship Parana was telegraphed
from Hurst Coeds at 10 p.m. on Thursday. The Custom.
house boats, with Dr. Wiblin. the quarantine Aker, and the
London newspaper correspondents in other boata, immedi-
ately pushed off to meet her. She ought to have arrived at
her anchorege at midnight. The night was intensely dark,
and there wee gamete a gale of wind blowing from the south-
west. The boats lay off Cadlead Creek, rad the sea being
rough the Coetome boat bad to bo baled out repeatedly. The
wind coming from the English Channel, and passing over
Smilaxes bleak and barren heath, bowled and shrieked
through Cadlend wools, which scarcely afforded any shelter
to the boats. The people in them. wrapped up in costs and
cloaks, and only comforted by the cheering cheroot, were
anxiously watching for the Parana, to telegraph her news
to London. The Calahot floatingand revolving light, warmly
risible some miles off, was every two or three minutes lifted
high in the air by the rolling of the sea, and, multiplied salt
ascended by the atmospheric wave., looked exactly like a sky
rocket after it has burst with its numerous stars descending.
The akyrocket is a nailpacket's signal, and several time it
was thought the Parana was rounding Celehot spit. The
wash of the ma against the shore, grips, and buoys in the
river sounded often like the distant nom of paddle wheels.
The straining of the eye through the darkness caused the
lights to seem blood red, like ship's lights in the offing.
Hour after hour the watchers remained there, rocking
monotonously in their boats, with black maims of
water rising and falling all around them, waiting for
the Parana. At length after waiting nearly four tom
all hopes of the Parana coming up that night ceased, and the
boats steered fur Southampton. At half-part 8 yesterday
morning the Parana was descried approaching Calabot Castle.
It appears that she canto inside the Needles, and it wat in.
tended that she should come right up to Southampton, and
she therefore signalled to the telegraph station at Hurst
Castle, but tho night war ea dark and the wind so rough that
ft was thought better to anchor in Yarmouth-roads for the
night, in company with the Tagus and Magdalena, two out,-
ward bound steamers, which lay-to there.

LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26

WEIL! the French Government are engaged in
pwchasing Negroes on the West Coast of Africa.
and reviving—in violation of the solitary clause in
the Treaty of 1846, which still subsists—the African
Slave Trade, the English Government have resolved
to send Dr. LivivOSTONS on a voyage of discovery
up the river Zambesi, on the East Court.
This, however, is not the only expedition England
has at present on hand to add to the world's geo-
graphical knowledge of Central Africa, to expiate
the navigation of its great arterial rivers, to form re-
lations with cartage tribes to Africa, to excite them
to habits of systematic industry, to develop the re-
marete el the canary, and to pave the way far
Cavities Minims, which Dr. LIIINOSTONZ shows
are always meet successful when preceded by trade.
Dr. BLAIR= is now ascending the QUOTTI4 penetrat-
ing ►y its waters into the heart and mysteries of
Negri:stand, attempting to conciliate the Pelletal',
whose remarkable progress southward tram the
Senegal is the most remarkable femur. of the modern
history of Africa, and binding by treaties and engage-
ments all the tribes on the borders of the main and
tribatary streams to abandon that Slave Trade which
Imperial Fraace has lately taken to.
In North Africa, too, German travellers, in the
employment of the British Government, have ranged
through whole circuits of native states previously
unknown, examined and studied their organisation,
mustered their politics and relations with each other,
followed their wan and slave-hunts, ascertained their
commercial capabilities, assured them of the interest
England takes in their welfare and happiness, abated
somewhat, let us trust, them fanatical Marisalmsn

prejudices which rage strongest on the Northern

aheive of the Mediterranean and the interior con-
nected therewith, and have exhibited that " touch
of Nature" which " makes the whole world kin."
These efforts of England to components for the
wrongs Christendom has inflicted on Africa, and to
bring that continent within the influences of modem
European society, stand in marked contrast with
the resolution of the French Government, and
the proceedings of its agents, to renew the
desolation and perpetuate the misery of the

There is not a breath of political news stirring to
divert people's attention from the holy day, which
everybody seems to be enjoying to the full. The
weather is fine ; a light frost, just sharp enough to
make the streets dry, but with nothing bitter about
it. The Boulevards are crowded, and although it is
to be feared that the financial and commer-
cial crisis mast have left very many families
extremely short of cash, the ifrennes merchants
are, to all appearance, doing as much business
as nasal. Speaking from personal observation, I
should say, however, that there are not so many toys
and gimcracks of great prise exhibited in the shop
windows as there have been of late years, but there
Is • plentiful supply of common and mss appro-
