THE MEDITERRANEAN.

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, -MIT lq" •
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship
Indus, Captain John Soy, arrived here this morning'
bringing the Southampton portion of the East lON',
China, and Mediterranean mails, in charge of Lieutenant'
Brown, R.N., Admiralty agent.
Her dates are—Alexandria, May 6 ; Malta, 9 ;
Ana
Gibraltar, 14. The freight list includes 41 bales of wo„,
367 bales and 6 cases of silk, 110 bales of cotton,
bales of flax, 10 cases of torahs, 114 cases of shawls, 3°o''
,e,
boxes of lemons, 3 chests of oranges, 6 casks of eL f
phants' tusks, 6 casks of wine, and 183 'packages °
merchandise, baggage, &c.
n•reet
Among the 147 passengers brought by this sfe.—,
are—Lady and Miss Thackwell, the Hon. Mr. Ersikrir:
Captain Seymour, R.N., Captain Stephenson and , •
R. Stephenson, and Captain Drummond, from Calon't
Colonel Stratton, Major de Butts, and Captain Tlll
from Madras ; Captain Tylee, from Hong Kong,
Great disappointment will, no doubt, be felt at 'ea
fact of ,this steamer not having brought the exP!eted,
mail from Australia. The cause has not been explatn
but it appears that the Peninsular and Oriental Com•
pany's steamer which it was arranged should leap
Sydney on the 20th of February, has not arrived 3s.
Singapore. It is thought most probable that the
ing advices will be received by the next Overland 11,',,3.,•
as the steamer, from bad weather, or from some °",,,%.
.use, had most likely been prevented from reaching
gapore in time to reach the steamer thence for CePVl'd;„
The intelligence brought by this steamer from°
and China has been anticipated by the overland e4,re,-,'
published in The Sun on Monday last. The mail
Calcutta has been brought through to Southampton in
little under 40 days.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills a
Certain Cure for Eruptions and all Diseases of the Skin.
—Extract of a letter from Mr. J. Hird, draper, Keady,
dated Feb. 14, 1852,.t0 Professor Holloway :—" Sir,—
My child, when three months old, was afflicted with a
severe eruption all over her body. I sought every aid
and the advice of surgeons and physicians, by all of
whom the case was considered hopeless. I then tried
your Ointment and Pills, and without exaggeration the
effect was m:raculous, for in a short tiine she was restored
to perfect health, and so remains. Mr. Bowden, book-
seller, Gainsborongh, and myself, would be happy to
satisfy any inquiries as to the truth of this statement..

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived,
but their contents are of no import'ince. The
Clamor Publico announces that General Cabrera
has sent 2001. from London for the sufferers from
famine in the province of Galicia. " Such acts,"
says the Clamor, " cause us to forget the party
man, to think of the proverbial Spanish gene-
rosity." The Committee of the Royal Council
charged to examine the conditions on which rail-
ways are conceded, was displaying great activity.
The Epoca had been seized.—A letter says :
‘‘ Notwithstanding the rumours in circulation, we
believe we can affirm that the Government does
not intend, at least for the present, to assemble the
Cortes."
The Three per Cents. were at 45.

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1853.

Improvements in the Naval Service are required
elsewhere than in the Dockyards. Indeed the old
system has proved not less injurious to the sailors
themselves than detrimental to the interests of
,the maritime profession. That it is eminently
advisable that innovations, both numerous and
comprehensive, should be adventured upon, in re-
ference to the arrangements for Manning her
MAJESTY'S Fleets, has recently been proclaimed
through the Report of the Committee of Inquiry.
That other innovations scarcely less numerous, and
certainly by no means less comprehensive, should
be attempted in regard to the increase of the per-
sonal comforts of our seamen has, we believe, for
some time past been pretty generally recognised.
A humorous and intelligent contributorto "House-
hold Words," not long ago furnished the public
with a melancholy account of the really deplor-
able want of accommodation aboard-ship for poor
JACK and his messmates. It would appear from the
description given by this writer—a description
evidently as faithful as a daguerreotype—that in
too many instances the maritime defenders of
England are less cared for than our paupers or
our criminals. Their common mess-room seems
frequently to be about as delightfully proportioned
to the number of its inmates as the famous black
hole of Calcutta. Its height, or rather its want
of height, renders either a stoop or a broken head
the ordinary alternative. Its deficiencies in length
and breadth are sometimes still more lamentably
inconvenient. In speaking thus, we do not, of
course, refer to our men-of-war—but, generally
speaking, to the majority of the mercantile craft,
from which so many of our sailors would have in
time of war to be summarily drafted. Yet oven
in our men-of-war there is in these matters
ample scope for beneficial changes—for changes by
which the health of the men would be marvellously
improved, and by which their domestic comforts
would be wonderfully enhanced.
Happily there has been made of late a generous
effort for the improvement of the position of our
sailors when ashore, by the establishment of what
are called Sailors' homes in several of our larger
seaports. For the purpose of more effectually
carrying out the intentions of the benevolent in
this particular, it is well known there has been
some time organised what is known as the Sailors'
Home Institution. Periodical meetings of those
who are more particularly interested in the objects
of the society, are held with a view to forward as
energetically as possible the wishes of Captain
London, England, 1853-05-20

CRICKET.

I ZINGARI v. THE ROYAL HORSE GUARDS
(BLUE.)

It was said some time since that I Zingari, at least
that branch of the fraternity who had abandoned the
hedge-breaking and the roost-robbing, and turned their
minds to cricket, had been lost, at the close of the last
season, in Ireland. It has happened, however, that cer-
tain officers of the Royal Horse Guards having alighted
upon the body, have drawn them out from the shrubs,
by what means we are not prepared at the present mo-
ment to say ; and so from the sister country or else-
where the wanderers have come, and yesterday pitched
their camp and hoisted their colours upon the Oval, in
defiance of their former gallant opponents. It will, how-
ever, be found that, let their winter's avocations have
been what they may, they have (from the defalcation of
one or two of their bowlers, we will assume, at all events)
not kept up their cricket practice. Hence the sorry
appearance they now make on paper.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat during the present week,
and fresh up to this morning's market have been seasonably
good, and in full average condition ; hence the show of
samples of both red and white was moderately extensive.
The prevailing fine weather, added to the large imports of
foreign grain, had a depressing influence upon the trade,
which ruled heavy, at the decline noticed on Monday last.
For forward delivery, next to nothing was doing.
Upwards of 24,000 quarters of foreign wheat have ar-
rived. Really fine parcels were held somewhat firmly on
former terms. All other kinds were exceedingly inactive,
at barely stationary prices. Floating cargoes sold on former
terms.

Scarcely any English barley was on show ; but the
supply of foreign was seasonably large. The trade ruled
heavy, but no further decline took place in the quotations.
• • The malt trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms.
We were well supplied with oats, in which a moderate
business was doing, at late currencies.
Beans and peas were quite as dear as last week; but
flour was exceedingly depressed.

The chief objections urged against the scheme were
made by Mr. Mortimer, one of the newly-elected
directors, who admitted that he thought the proposed
extension would materially benefit the South-Western
Company ; but who, as far as we could understand his
observations, appeared .to think that for the purpose of
avoiding an expensive contest with the Great Western
and Bristol and Exeter Companies, the latter should be
permitted to promote unopposed the Devon and Dorset
scheme, and he taunted the board with having turned a
extension deaf ear to the landowners, who, with their friends, had

GERMANY.

A letter from Hamburg, of the 13th, says :
" The customs treaty concluded between Denmark
and Oldenburg, relative to the principality of
Entin, has been officially promulgated. The state-
ment published by some journals that the Austrian
Government had stopped the works of demolition
of the fortress of Rendsburg is incorrect."
The Darmstadt Bank has announced to the
Grand Ducal Government that its first series of
shares of the nominal value of 10 millions of
florins has been issued. The Bank is consequently
constituted according to its statutes, and will im-
mediately commence operations.

A letter from Vienna of May 15, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" The King of the Belgians con-
tinues to attend the reviews of troops with the
Duke de Brabant. His Majesty also visits the
various public establishments. The King of Prussia,
as well as Prince Charles and his son, will arrive
here on the 19th inst. Amongst the demands of
Austria to which the Porte has acceded on the ap-
plication of Count de Leiningen is that of restoring
the jewels and the 2,000 ducats which the famous
Bollyak had stolen, and which are to be given back
to the heirs of Count Zichly. The jewels and
money have been already sent to the Austrian em-
bassy at Constantinople."
An important change has just been made in the
general direction of the Austrian consulates, which
up to this time have been under the management
of the Minister of Commerce at Vienna. For the
future the consuls will receive their instructions
from the department of Foreign Affairs, and will
only correspond with the Minister of Commerce on
commercial affairs.

L. HYAM'S WIIITSUNrIDE ATTIRE.

•
WHITSUNTIDE is a season which invariably
creates a universal demand for dress; and, owing to this
circumstance, the most flattering inducements are held out to the
public. " Ec,onomy " and .1 quality " become by-words, and every
tradesman professes to out-do his competitor.
L. lIYAM, however, is not apprehensive of any adverse influence
being thus produced, knowing as he does the extent, variety, novelty,
excellence, and cheapness of his Whitsuntide preparations. The
proprietor is desirous of impressing on the public the fact that ho has
prepared a variety of
NEW MATERIALS FOR WHITSUNTIDE.

.
L. Hyam's Establishment is replenished with a stock of Llama
Cloths, Venetian Cloths, Undressed Tweeds, 311xed Cloths, Poplins,
Cashmerrettes, Alpacas, Merino, Gore Silks, Cassinetts, Saxony
Cloths, West of England Cloths, Kerseymeres, Doeskins, Angolas,
Figured Drills, Velvets, Silks, Satins, Melton Fabrics, and an infinite
variety of the newly-invented materials peculiar to the present sea-
son. In designing and manufacturing the above goods into
NEW GARMENTS FOR WHITSUNTIDE.

L. Hyam has taken especial care to incorporate all the late Im-
provements which public taste and experience have suggested ; and
the proprietor flatters himself that the high reputation of his City
Establishment is greatly enhanced by the elegant and superior as-
sea tment of dress new on sale. The Melton Oxonians are deserving
of special recommendation, being novel, fashionable, and really ex-
cellent in quality.
A splendid stock of Juvenile Attire may now be selected from, and
parents and guardians are assured that their requirements will be
amply supplied at this season of fashion and fair weather.
OBSERVE !—L. HYAM begs to state that he has no connexion
with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch•street,
City (established upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi-
ness carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be supplied wills
good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound av,..rkmanship, at
such economical prices as must defy all competition.
