Hecate, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Hand, returned to
the moorings in Barnpool on Tuesday afternoon, from a
cruise in the chops of the Channel to relieve the homeward-
bound vessels detained by the easterly winds.
Poierssro UV!, THURSDAY.—The Antelope steam-vessel,
Lieutenant-Commander Young, has been got off the Ledge
of Bembi idge. She had the assistance of the large boats of
the whole of the squadron at Spithead, as well as the
Sprightly steam-vessel, Mr. George Allen Acting-Master
commanding, and the Drake lighter. The Antelope was
lightened of all her dead weight—a gun, anchors, and such
like, but which the Sprightly afterwards recovered. The lat-
ter vessel also lightened her of her coals, &c. She went
ashore at a quarter past 6 o'clock yesterday morning. All
hands set to work to try their utmost to get her off, which
appearing to fail, assistance was sent for. The Sprightly
lightened her about 18 inches. She found her on the inner
part of Bembridge-ledge, with her head lying west, with not
above 15 inches of water under her fore foot. Mr. Davy,
Assistant-Master Attendant of this dockyard, and Mr. Luke,
foreman of shipwrights, with a party of the latter corps, went
out to render assistance, and the boat of the latter gentleman,
with five men in her, was swamped in the service, but we
are happy to add no lives were lost. About 25 minutes past
6 o'clock last evening the Antelope floated off the ledge, and
came into this harbour without assistance, under steam.
She is reported not bilged or hurt. The Sprightly came
into harbour after her, at about half-past 10 o'clock last
night, with the gun the Antelope threw overboard, the
anchors, chain cable, and heavy gear. The latter has
been docked to-day, and found to have sustained no injury.
Simoom iron screw-frigate, Captain Kingcome, haying
bad her engines put to rights by taking something from the
air-pump of the Sanspareil, she took on board supernume-
raries for the eastward on Wednesday afternoon, and
then got up her steam and went outside the Breakwater,
where she steamed about some little time to prove the new
work in her engine; meanwhile the Avon tender, which
took the supernumeraries to the Simoom, took the Vuloul
iron-screw frigate, Master-Commander Penn, in tow, g!,,t.
at 5 r.u., was going out to the west end of the Breatko±q3t

"2. That a new bridge should be constructed ad.
joining, or as near as possible, to the present bridge on
the north side, that is, lower down the river.
" 3. That the new bridge should not be less than 60
feet in width, including the footways.
" 4. That it be constructed of iron, with stone piers.
" 5. That it consist of no more than five arches.
" G. That the height of headway of the centre arch
above Trinity datum be not lees than 25ft. 6in.
" 7. That it is desirable that no time should be lost in
making preparation for the commencement of the work."
Whether the new structure (that, we must still hope,
is "to be") should be built upon the model of the
bridge at Southwark, or whether, instead of being
cast-iron, it should be granite, built in a manner likely
to harmonize with the elaborated gothic pile
of the new Houses of Parliament, is a question
which admits rather largely, of course, of argu-
ment, and might not unreasonably be reserved fur a
little further consideration. But whether active
measures should or should not be adopted, with a
view to remove the existing bridge and to substitute
S new one in a contiguous situation, can scarcely
admit any doubt whatever, after that final
resolution of the Commissioners, to the ef-
fect " that it is desirable no time should
be lost in malting preparation fur the com-
mencement of the work"—the work of removal
and reconstruction. In defiance of which resolution
the matter has again been referred to another session
by the Commissioners of Works, speaking in the
name of no Government. When is this deplorable
system of procrastination to terminate? When is the
country to be haunted no longer by that word of
" damning iteration"—postponement, postponement,
postponement

There is, after all, to be no further inquiry into
the case of Harwich. The House of Commons last
night, alter a prolonged discussion, decided against
the proposed investigation, and ignored the bill of.in-
dictment that had been preferred against that rather
notorious constituency. Hear thi.e, ye BLauGs and
EDWARD.I.ES, and rejoice !—uplift your voices in exul-
tation, your honourable occupation is not altogether
gone ! It is true that ye may no longer have the op-
portunity of exercising your skill and ingenuity in
the scene of your former labours ; but there
are many St. Albanses in the field, and many
zealous labourers in the cause in which
ye have already signalised yourselves, and whose
future doings may cast your quonda►n exploits into
the shade. What encouragement will the majority
of 42 afford to these exemplary gentlemen in their
laudable vocations! The golden key, or some equally
significant token may again be hung out. The House
of Commons has extended the shield of its protection
over a constituency where not only the electioneer-
ing proceedings have been most loudly and generally
complained of, but where the existence of habitual
bribery and corruption has rested on something more
than mere suspicion. It was a decision worthy of
those who rejected the ballot, who refused to
protect the voter against intimidation, or to place
him in a position whore the sale of his vote would be
all but impracticable. It would almost seem as if the
Right Hon. and lion. Gentlemen conceived that these
Practices formed an essential part of the British Con-
stitution, and that whenever they were completely
abolished the sun of England's glory would be set
for ever.

The division of last night, combined with that
of Tuesday evening on Mr. HENRY BERKELEY'S
motion, will :unquestionably exercise consider-
able influence on the approaching elections.
It will prove that an occasional scapegoat is
all that is required—that if a St. Albans should be
convicted, a Harwich would be suffered to escape
with comparative impunity. After all, the position of
the House towards the inculpated borough is of rather
an anomalous character. It refuses to issue the
writ for a new election in place of that which had
been declared null and void. It thus assumes the exis-
tence of at least a certain degree of guilt, but refuses to
institute
any searching inquiry into that guilt, with
a view either to have it clearly established, and pro-
per measures founded thereon, or to have the character
of the electors excharge.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Slll,—As one of your numerous staunch advocates,
please to allow me, an old oeiesr, to make my appear-
ance on }our quarter-dcek to summons the whole crew
of her Mejesty's Royal Navy to give three hearty cheers
for our naval First Lord and for the comprised honour of
Old England and:the British navy, since wha'ever other
consequences may result from the late politicslgale—and
I fear that with respect to questions of the first import-
ence:we shall still be left Lein the rear of the requirements
of the age,—nevertheless we may hail with rejoicing the
change in the atmosphere of the Admiralty, a most re-
attired yet almost hopeless event. And truly what an
arbitrary and gross insult to the navy has been the placing
of a landsman in first authority at the Admiralty;
what a barefaced monopoly of all the patronage, for the
purpore of making it subservient to party interests—the
First Lord and the patronage changing with every
change of Ministry; the patronage of the navy system
itself made a scramble for party strife. Also, this
placing of a civilian in supreme authority at the Ad-
miralty is little better than placing a mere landsman at
the helm of a ship, requiring a pilot to be standing at
his ele ow to dirct every movement, now to this side, now
to the other. What a ridiculous farce! For myself and
for the navy, I deeply resent this forced lowering of our
topsails to an empty stranger, and therefore gladly hail
the Derby deed; and it is with excited feelings of regret
that I find some naval officers advocates of the existing
system, alleging the objection that an admiral has so
many followers; but surely not a tithe part so many as
the never-ending obligations of an individual, placed in
power purposely to serve an overruling state party, for
should the elaimaut not happen to be on the right side,
what chance has be? Witness the many deserving
officers whose heads have heen stepped over by juniors
of half their reeding. Moreover patronage, great in
consequence as I view it, is yet by no means he main
point; country stands prominently first, absolutely re•
quiring a long experienced and distinguished profes-
sional character, competent to a right direction of our
important naval power in all its bearings. To imagine
a flag officer to be less scrupulous than a civilian to the
general and right direction of the naval patronage, is to
suppose there are admirals in the service who have no
proper regard for the honour and consequence of the
navy. But where is such a man to he founts? To my
apprehension those officers who argue fur placing them-
selves under a landsman are those who do not show a
proper regard for the honour and welfare of their pro-
fession, and I would suggest precaution lest they un-
wittingly strand their own cable. 'rho patent abuse to
which I point, may be considered as being singularly
marked by the appointment of an army officer to pre-
side at the Admiralty, a distinct service. But mortify-
ing as this may have been felt, it is quite obvious that
one of our brethren in arms is much more competent to
the situation than a mere landsman, noble though he
may be, but who probably may never have been christ-
ened with the spray of salt water, and never saw a
cannon fired in anger, and who very possibly may not
have marine breeding enough to Steer a boat across the
river Thames, without such incessant and unscientific
Los and fros of the rudder, as would figure out such a
vermicular wake as would make the presumptuous Wight
the laughing stuck of the multitudes assembh don (ash
batik to witness the amusing eslay. Fancy, too, a mere
landsman perambulating our dockyarde to survey the
building of our ships, and to inspect the quality and
quantity of our naval stores; why,
wore it not that he
moves an assemblage of naval insignia
the docks encksycarerdmed by
swould absolutely laugh him to scorn.
To such indignity as I have been considering the army
would not submit for a day; honour would immediately
call up an angry rising throughout the entire camp, and
Ido greatly admire this esprit du corps, though it con-
stitutes a contrast very disadventsg, ous to the existing
crushed spirit of the navy. Alas! our condition too much
resembles that of the victim under the law, who by long
endured and hopeless misery becomes at length but little
sensible of the weight and disgrace of his chains. It would
be highly diverting to see how our brave and justly
honoured Duke would eye a civilian strutting about and
assuming all authority at the Horse Guards; I opine he
would be forthwith marched out at double quit time,
the movement, too, probably accelerated by a well-
directed stimulus,
"Just in the place where honour's lodg'd,
As wise philosophers have
judg'd."
I feel assured there is not an admiral in the service who
would consent
.to place himself in a situation at once so
invidious and. insulting as that which I have remarked
Horne
I imagine a naval flag waving in authority at the
Horse Guards; !urely the weather-beaten veteran per-
ambulating the forts and inspecting the military stores
would never venture to look behind him, aware of the
derision and contempt which would be standing in also
relievo upon his gallant retinue, faces too flushed and
crimsoned to the colour of their martial garbs. No, the
veteran tar would indeed be as a fish out of water,
gasping and convulsed by the effect of the unnatural
element in which ho was planed. For the navy let the
offensive conception oe annihilated. Now, concerning
this Admiralty affair, and including the reasons for it,
there is a vast deal more to be said, rivalling if not cur-
pas-iug the high reach of intellect which I have endea-
voured to bring down within the reach of common sense,
but having already 'pun out so long a yarn, I must reel
up and present my article.
In offering this marine essay, I have sought to vindi-
cate and uphold the honour of the British navy, and for
my encouragement I hear in aivocacy the voice of our
idolized national guardian; Britannia calls aloud for
justice and honour due, for Britannia rules the waves,

A FL AU•OFFICE

On this point we would invite attention to a com-
munication which will be found in another part of
this day's impression, in which the question is very
ably argued. We must, however, declare that the
interests of the debtors must be attended to in any
change that may take place, and that as no allowance
was made to the tax-payers during the monetary
crisis, none can now be claimed by tax consumers in
consequence of the superabundance of bullion. The
matter is one of deep and vital importance to the
welfare and prosperity of the country, and it should
receive that calm and attentive consideration which it
so eminently merits, so th it an equitable conclusion
may be arrived at, in which the interests of the indus-
trious classes will not be disregarded, but an equal
measure of justice rendered to all without exception.

A characteristic letter, addressed to ourselves by
" A Flag ()leer," will be found in another column :
and its insertion affords us pleasure, yielding evidence
as it does that the profession regards with satisfac-
tion the recent appointment to the head of the Ad-
miralty of his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBER-
LAND. The remarks made by our esteemed corres-
pondent upon the folly of subjecting the maritime
service to the management of a civilian are
deserving, we conceive, of very serious consideration 1
and, happily, we are sanguine that the mit:sone;
experiences of late will to a very considerable extent
deter any future Prime Minister from appointing as
First Lord of the Admiralty any administrator who
has not qualified himself for the post by his personal
services on those waves which, according to the
national verses of the poet of the " Seasons," are ruled
by Britannia.

ALABAMA !
[There is a tradition that a tribe of Indiana, fleeing from
an enemy through the forests of the south-west, reached a
noble river, flowing through a beautiful country, when the
chieftain of the band struck his tent-pole into the ground,
exclaiming, " Alabama ! Alabama!" ,signifying " Here we
resit! here we rest!"]

The whole wide world is but the same,
Tracked by those foemen, Care and Grief,
While every human hope would claim
The spot that cheered the Indian chief.
Yet where is that Elysian tide
Which saved the warriors of the West?
Where can we find the river's side
1V here mortal fears say " Here we rest?"
We often think that gold—bard gold,
Will form the spot of dreamy joy,
But all we get, and all we hold,
Brings something with it of alloy.
Good des not always mate with Gain,
And wearied brow or cheerless breast,
Bends o'er a golden stream in vain,
Seeking the sweet words " Here we rest I"
We put our trust in robe or crown—
In ribbon band or jewelled star
Such things may gleam in Fortune's dream,
But dazzle most when seen afar.
Ambition's temple rarely yet
Let in a well-contented guest—
Some spoil unwon, some deed undone,
\V ill choke the soft words, " Here we rest I"
Some place their faith in safer creed—
The wise, the God-directed few,
Who think a heart is what we need
To yield the peace that's pure and true;
And happy they who seek and find
A shelter in a kindred breast,
And, leaving foes and fears behind,
Say to some dear one, " Here we rest I"
Go carve long epitaphs who will
On sculptured brass or marble wall,
The Indian's " Alabama" still
Speaks with the fittest voice of all.
I ask no more than sod enough
To make the grasshopper a nest,
And that a stone bear but this (Ale—
This only record—" Hera we rest !"

THE SHIPWRIGHTS' STRIKE.—The strike of the
shipwrights belonging to the yards at Hylton-on-the-Wear
terminated on Saturday, having lasted 20 weeks. The
masters and men have come to a compromise—the men to
withdraw their. obnoxious rule prohibiting more than one
borer being employed in a yard; the masters promising that
in this department they will give the preference to aged
shipwrights. As the men might have been in full employ-
ment during the whole of the period mentioned, a fearful
amount of money has bees wasted, they having to mode

nor less than a definite quantity of gold, with a mark
upon it to determine its weight and fineness."
Interested parties, those who were living in idleness
upon the fat of the land, and preying upon the
bowels of industry, accepted the interpretation with
joy, and considered the party by whom it was
put forward as " a DANIEL come to Judgment." It
was at that period the interest of the drones in
the national hive, to insist on the letter while disre-
garding the spirit of their contracts. They seemed
to forget, or rather to misapply, the principle enun-
ciated by JOHN LOCKE, that "Men in their bargains
contract not for denominations or sounds, but for the
intrinsic value." If this doctrine had been observed
it would follow, as a matter of course, that when
gold becomes unduly appreciated, so that the S dwts.

ACCIDENT TO THE DOVER EXPRESS TRAIN.--AD
accident of a rather alarming character, but happily unat-
tended by the slightest personal injury to the passenrs,
occurred yesterday morning to the express train, which
leaves Dover at eight B.M. While passing the Edenbridge
station the carriages ran off the rails, but the driver was
fortunately able to stop the train almost instantly, and the
passengers all descended unhurt. By means of the electric
telegraph assistance was immediately obtained, and precau-
tionary measures taken to prevent accident to approaching
trains. After a short time the passengers were enabled to
proceed to their destinations, the only inconvenience experi- 1
enoed having been delay and consequent anxiety to friends. ;
The carriages were replaced on the rails, and the ordinary
traffic of the line wag resumed within two hour titter the
incident.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

CITY. TwO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 6,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for ex-
port and 500 on speculation. The market closed heavily
without alteration in prices, except for short staple Ameri-
can under sd. per lb., which were slightly
buyers. The sales comprised 4,500 American, 20 Pernam
and Maranham, at 5%d. ; 30 Bahia, at 6%d. ; 1,000 Egyp-
tian, at 6d. to 9d.; 500 Surat, at 3%d to 4%d. ; and 80
Sea Island, at ls. 4d. to Is. 6d per lb.—Railway Shares
were dull, without material alteration in prices.
Tha quantity of produce brought forward at the public
sales this week has been very moderate, and there is no
essential alteration in the prices of th:. leading staples. The
imports are increasing a little, but the wind has not yet
changed sufficiently to bring in many vessels. The con.
aupastion progresses steadily as regards Sugar, Coffee, and
most other articles.
Upon the state of the Piece-goods Market daring the past
month Messrs. *Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, write from
Manchester as follows;--" Though the bustling activity
which in bye-gone years used proverbially to characterise the
month of liJareh would appear to have passed awuy from the
now much more frequent and rapid intercourse established be-
tween every oistrict of the Uuited Kingdom and with almost
every portion of the world, it is gratifying to perceive that,
though prosecuted in a much less active manner, outwardly,
its operations in the present year have again been of an ex-
tensive character. During the first fourteen days of the
month the position of matters, as indicated in our last
monthly circular, experienced further improvement as re-
garded demand, accompanied not only with greater firmness
in prices, but likewise with a further advance upon certain
descriptions of cloth and yarn. S nce then, from the droop-
ing tendency of the Liverpool Cotten Market, as consequent
upon a secession of the then recent heavy operations in it,
and in an apprehended early and heavy supply of the raw
material, this market, as usual, has manifested its unvarying
sympathy, and induced a material suspension of operations,
except tor pre-sing wants, together with a general and de-
clining tendency in prices."
The Bill brought in to enable her Majesty to abolish
otherwise than by treaty, on condition of reciprocity, differen.
tial duties on foreign ships, provides that " where it shall
appear to her Majesty that by the laws or regulations of any
foreign power the trade and shipping of Great Britain in
the ports of such foreign power have been placed upon the
same footing as the trade and shipping of such foreign
power, it shall be lawful f r her Majesty,. by order to be by
her made with the advice of her Privy Council, and to be
published in the London Gazette, to order and declare that
the trade and shipping of such foreign power shall have
the benefit of the provisions of this Act; and there-
upon all the provisions, clauses, matters, and things in
the said first-recited Act contained shall, so long as such
Order in Council shall remain in force, but no longer, apply
and extend to the trade and shipping of such foreign power,
as fully and effectually, to all intents and purposes, as they
apply to the trade and shipping of the said United States
and Portugal, or would apply to such trade and shipping if
the convention and treaty intended to be carried into effect
by the said first-recited Act were in force, and shall also apply
and extend to differential duties or charges on goods imported
or exported in the ships or vessels of such foreign power as
well as to differential duties on the ships or vessels of such
foreign power."
Official returns of the position of the Savings
Banks, between November 20, 1849, and August 8, 1851,
show rather interesting results. It would appear that from
January to July, 1850, the sums withdrawn were very
large, whereas in the first three months of 1851 the deposits
exceeded the repayments. Taking the whole period from
November, 1849, to August, 1851, the amounts were as
follow ;
Excess paid in by Savings Banks beyond the
sums drawn out .. ................. ......
Excess drawn out, including. interest on sums
drawn out ......................... ..............
Dividends received by the Commissioners, 924,263
on Stock invested . ........ ...... 57,323
The Stock Market is... quiet, but firm,.. thisl,4morning.
Consols have been 98% 3/4 for Transfer, and 983/i, more
sellers than buyers, for Account. Exchequer-bills have been
quoted 68s, to 715., and India Bonds 775. to 80s. premium.
Money is easier in the market, and this will give encourage.
ment to speculation, if politics do not intervene. South Sea
Stock is at 109%, and Bank Stock for Account brings 221.
Attention in the Foreign Market is almost exclusively
directed to Mexican Bonds, which are full 1 per cent, higher
than yesterday, being 34e. % for the old stock, and 27% to
281 for the new converted, ex dividend. Besides the
information, the large amount of the next remittance,
Messrs- Baring Brothers are now in a position to advance
part of the ir:demnity money to those who do not prefer
waiting. Many have entire confidence and sufficient means
to hold on and save the interest asked, viz., at the rate of
five per cent. per annum. Proposals to farm the revenue, SO
as to cover the dividend and give a surplus, have been made
by soma leading Mexican firms. Peruvian Bonds have
been 105!4 to % for the Five per Cents., and 66 to 67 for
the Deferred. Buenos Ayres Stock is worth 74 to 76. an
advance. Venezuela also are up to 48 and 481,e.
Brazilian Old Stock is at 6914 to 1,4 ex dividend.
Spanish Three per Cents bring 4434 to 4514, a marked im-
provement. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, have
realized 60%. Equador have touched 514,.
Railway Shares are mostly
at higher rates, with fair
transactions in Aberdeen, Eastern Counties, Brighton, Mid.
land, and the York lines. The-French Shares are likewise up
a little.
Gold Mine Shares continue fiat.
Oriental Bank Shares have risen from 3% to 34.
