The Schomberg was becaluied for twenty days after crossing
the equator, and encountered light and variable winds
during the entire passage. The only part of the voyage
where she proved her sailing qualities, was between the
Cape of Good Hope and Desolation Island. Captain
Forbes is very disconsolate at the disaster, and shed
tears when the passengers left the ship yes-
terday mornim.t. There was only one accident,
which occurred to a seamen, at the time the ship struck.
All the passengers and crew are safe, although parties well
acquainted with the coast in the locality, predict that what
cargo is landed will have to endure immersion before land-
ing; and it is very improbable if ever it will be got off
again, as the roll of the sea inshore make it extremely
perilous for any boat to venture in the surge. It is rumoured
that the Schoenberg got aground off Cape Nothutnber-
laud, bat we do not vouch for the accuracy of this
statement. Captain Forbes, in order to save time
and distance, is supposed by competent judges, well
acquainted with that part of our coast, to have hugged the
shore too close with the view of rounding Cape Otway, and
a heavy S.E. swell setting in, while the wind lulled, has
been the occasion of drifting the unfortunate Schomber; on
to the ground as before indicated, at a reported distance of
two hundred yards from the beach. The land in that
locality is very rugged, and densely covered with timber ;
the country only presenting a :cultivated appearance toward
Warnambool and Port Fairy.

SUGAR. : There has been a very firm market, and full
prices have been realised, the business consisting of 230
hhds Antigua, at 425; 1,500 bags common native Madras,
at 365; 750 hags damp and washed Dates, at 40s to 425; 70
hhds Porto Rico, at 41s 3d to 42s 3d ; 80 boxes damaged
Havana, at 423 6d, and 4,200 bags Paraiba, at 24s per cwt
in bond from the quay.
MOLASSES : We have nothing to notice.
RUM : 60 puns D .merara have realised previous rates.
TEA : The sales have been limited, the trade awaiting
the samples by the Crisis and C. Matthie.
RICE : The market is very quiet, and only 140 tierces
fine Carolina reported, at 23s 6d to 23s 9d per cwt, duty
paid.

LINSEED : There was no disposition evinced to purchase
the linseed offered by auction, and only a few hundred bags,
part all faults, sold at 58s per qr for sound.
RAPESEED was also withdrawn.

CASTOR OIL : 100 cases are reported, at 6d per lb.
CORN : To-day's market was tolerably well attended by
neighbouring, as well as some distant millers, but there
appeared no disposition to operate freely, and we have to
note a slow inactive trade in any description of wheat, fine
qualities alone nearly supporting the currencies of this day
week, but all other grades offering Id to 2d per bushel
cheaper. Upon a tolerable show of farmers' wheat this
morning, sales were moderate in amount at previous rates.
Barrel flour was in fair request, at late prices, but we had
very little doing in sack flour, the value of which is with
difficulty maintained, even in retail transactions. Barley in
moderate demand, at full prices. Egyptian beans rather
neglected, and 61 per qr cheaper. For oats and oatmeal
we had also but a small enquiry, with the turn in favour of
buyers. The large arrival of Indian corn does not cause
any undue pressure on the market, and we had compartively
few samples showing; some parcels of prime yellow were
taken at 30s, mixed at 29s to 29s 6d, and white at 29s to
30s per 480 lbs ; this being a decline of is per qr. With
occasional rains daily of late, vegetation is now progressing
favourably, and the crops on the ground in this district
appear healthy and promising. Arrivals and exports from
the Ist to the 7th April, 1846, inclusive :—From Ireland,

GOVERNMENT MANUFACTORIES.—A sum total of £106,526
was expended in 1854-5 and 1855-6 at the Royal Small
Arms Factory at Enfield—viz., £51,124 for buildings,
£49,561 for machinery, £3,590 for putting up machinery,
and £2,250 for altering machinery.
We read in the Memorial des Pyrenees :—" A person
residing at Pau having written to Marshal Bosquet, con-
gratulating him on his promotion, received from him a
reply, in which the illustrious marshal, alluding to the
gracious manner in which the Emperor had informed him,
as well as General Canrobert, of their promotion to the
dignity of marshal, adds these words It is two swords
and two hearts placed as sentinels on the right and left of
a cradle; we have well comprehended the dignity in that
sense.' "

ECONOMY,—The Morning Herald gravely states that
with a view to the reduction of the national expenditure
the government a few days ago, put a stop to all supplies
of—wafers!—to the reporters's gallery of the House of
Commons ; and encouraged by the result, the saving there
by effected having proved so enormous, the consumption
of that costly article reaching, it is understood, to upwards
of a quarter of a pound per week !—they last night cut off
the supply of—ink !

BRIGANDS.—A diligence was stopped the other day near
the Tuscan frontier, by a band of robbers who wore masks
and were dressed in black. These gentlemen of the road
gave their hands to the ladies to assist them to descend
from the vehicle, and, on a child beginning to cry, the chief
of the band took it in his arms and quieted it with bonbons.
Neither the money nor the bijoux of the travellers were
touched. The fellows contented themselves with getting
the key of a coffer containing 20,000 fr. belonging to the
government, and then withdrew amidst a profusion of bows
and compliments.

A. FORTNIGHT WITH BRIGANDS,—The Spanish journals
record the capture of a gentleman of property by brigands,
Count de Vallariezo was carried off three weeks ago from
the district of Toledo, and 10,000 piastres were demanded
from his family for his ransom. The family paid the money,
but the local authorities succeeded in seizing it before it
reached its destination. The brigands, however, again
notified to the family that they expected the ransom, and
the latter deemed it right, in spite of the prohibition of the
authorities, to forward it to them. On receipt of it, the
brigands immediately released the count, and he arrived at
ome eight days back. He relates that the brigands on
capturing him told him that he need entertain no fear, as
they had taken him not to murder him, but to do a good
stroke of business by getting paid for his release, and they
expressed their regret at being obliged to carry him into
Portugal. He says also that when the brigands, who were
always on the move during the day, encamped for the night,
they gave him blankets to wrap himself up in, and that
wlr,n provisions happened to be scarce. they even stinted
themselves in order that he might have enough. He says,
moreover, that they appeared to possess a certain degree of
education, and asked if in his visits to Madrid he had not
visited the opera, and heard Ronconi—expressing surprise
on being answered in the negative.
