ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday Morning. Intelli-
gence was received this morning that the Penin-
sular and Oriental Company's large screw steam-
ship Himalaya had got ashore. It appears that
she was steaming up the Solent, by Hursb Castle,
last evening, and, in endeavouring to clear a brig,
touched the shore opposite the Castle, and, being
an ebb tide, she was obliged to remain during the
night.
Immediately upon gaining the above information
Captain Engledue, the superintendent, despatched
some steamboats for the purpose of towing her off,
and no doubt she will be afloat by midday. From
the state of the shore on which•the Himalaya lies,
there is no need of apprehension as to any serious
consequences, and it is fully expected that she will
be got off without injury to either her hull or
machinery.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL.

ADJOURNED INQUEST (THIS DAY).

The inquiry was resumed this morning at 10 o'clock.
The jury having assembled, a discussion took place of
one hour's duration as to the admission of the evidence
of a gentleman named Chaplain, a member of the Col-
lege of Surgeons, and apothecary to the institution ; and
his evidence, which was ultimately admitted, went to
prove that be had sounded the child, and could not de-
tect the presence of any stone in the bladder.
Mary Rosser sworn, said—l live in No. 13, March-
mont-place. I was nurse to the child in the hospital
about a week. lam a friend of its mother's. The child
was first taken to the hospital upon a Friday, and it
was in my arms. Dr. Scobell sounded the child, and
said there was no stone ; he could not feel one. Mr.
Cooke sounded him afterwards, and said there was a
stone, and we were to make up our mind by Satur-
day whether the child should come into the hospital,
as it could not be done without. It was taken in upon
the Tuesday. It was a healthy child in every other re
spect, excepting when it required to urinate, and then it
screamed very dreadfully. At the request of the mother
I was allowed to be in the hospital with him to see. the
operation performed. The child played about the hos-
pital up to the Thursday morning. Dr. Scobell saw
the child several times when it was in the hospital.
No inquiry was made about the state of the child, who
had been confined in his inside for one or two days
before that. Upon that morning it.had bread and but
ter for its breakfast at the hospital. I took the child
home to its mother that morning, but it did not have
anything to eat. When I came back the nurse took the
child from me ; and having brought it back to me, she told
me toundress him, and was in such haste that I had barely
time to take its clothes off. I was not allowed to see
the operation. The nurse told me that the doctors would
not allow it. She shortly afterwards brought the child
back, and dashed it down upon the bed, and said it
would be a good jub when the dirty little wretch was
dead. (Sensation.) The child wa' in a dreadful state ;
it had a long cut, underneath its person. No directions
were given to me how to attend to it ; it cried much for
drink. The nurses did nothing for it, and the day-nurse
said she would jump down its d—d little throat if
it teazed her for drink. The doctors did not see it
again until half-past ten the next morning. Dr. Scobell
and Mr. Cook saw it, and spoke about it being very
bad, and ordered it some brandy ; and this the
nurses gave it, but that was all that was done. On
the next day and Saturday they again saw it in the
morning, and gave some directions. It died upon
Sunday about half past eight.

After some further evidence the inquiry was ad-
journed. The Inquest-room was densely crowded, and
the proceedings created, the greatest interest.

THE QUEEN'S ANNUAL EXCURSION.—Her Majesty's
yacht the Victoria and Albert, Captain the Hon. Joseph
Denman, went out of Portsmouth Harbour yesterday,
for her trial cruise, to prepare for the reception of the
Queen on her Majesty's voyage to Liverpool and Scot-
land in the course of next month.

.....
ROYAL VISIT TO MONT BLANC.—Yesterday morning
her Majesty and the Prince Consort, with the whole of
the royal children and a large number of the children of
the nobility, paid a visit to the Egyptian hall, to witness
Mr. Albert Smith's Ascent of Mont Blanc. The royal
party enjoyed the entertainment thoroughly. Her Ma-
jesty in particular was much amused, and laughed
heartily at Mr. Smith's voluble commentary on the topics
of the day in the famous " Galignani " song. At the con-
clusion, her Majesty expressed her warm appreciation of
the merits of the entertainment, and was pleased to ac-
-3: special train from
Manchester,
ac-
cept a copy of the " Story of Mont Blanc."

APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—It is
rumoured that the only son and heir of Sir George
Warrender, Bart., of Lochend, Haddingtonshire, is
about to lead to the hymeneal altar the accomplished,
beautiful, and only daughter of Sir Hugh Hume Camp-
bell, Bart., of Marchmont, Berwickshire. The mar-
riage will take place in London before the close of the
season. —Kelso Mail. •
SCOTTISH HOSPITAL—A quarterly general court of
the governors of this corporation was held yesterday at
the offices of the institution, Crane-court, Fleet-street ;
Mr. Webster in the chair. The business of the court
was of but a formal nature. The minutes of the last
court were real and confirmed, after which a vote of
thanks was passed-to eights- of: the governors for their
very handsome present of a new banner to the corpora-
tion bearing its insignia and the names of the donors.
The usual compliment to the chairman closed the pro-
ceedings.
SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COMPANY.—At a meeting of the
South Australian Company held yesterday the dividend
declared was at the rate of 6 per cent., and the report
was unanimously adopted. The chairman (Mr. E.
Divett) stated that the accounts received from the co-
lony were most satisfactory, and that the sole drawback
was the absence of a sufficient supply of labour to carry
out public works. The general improvement in the
value of land had exercised a considerable influence on
the property of the company, and there was at present
no expectation of an unfavourable reaction.
THE EASTERN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY'S GREAT
STEAMER OF 22,000 ToNs.-7--The immense screw and
paddle steamer, building at the yard of Messrs. Scott
Russell, at Millwall, for the Eastern Steam Navi-
gation Company, is to be completed in twelve months.
Her keel has been laid down, and several of her bulk-
heads, or compartments, are raised, and the works are
proceeding with energy and expedition. A railroad has
been laid down along the entire length of her way. to
facilitate the conveyance of the materials from the fac-
tory to the different parts of the vessel. The exact
dimensions of the-ship are as follows :—Tonnage, buil-
ders' ineasuretnea, 22,000 tons ; tonnage burthen, 10,000
tons ; extreme length, 680 ft.; extreme .breadth, 83ft.; ex-
treme depth, 581 t.; power of engines (screw and paddle),
2,600 horse. Her engines are in the course of construction
by Messrs. James Watt and Co., of Soho, and Messrs.
Scott Russell, and will be fitted in the vessel before she
is floated off. The hull will be entirely of iron, and of
more than usual strength, the magnitude of her size
enabling Mr. Brunel, the architect, to introduce many
precautionary measures conducive both to support and
security. From her keel up to six feet above the water-
line is double, of a cellular construction. The upper
deck will also be strengthened on the same principle,
and will form a complete beam, similar to the tube of j
the Britannia-bridge, so that any external injury will I
not affect the tightness or the safety of the ship. She
is divided into ten separate water-tight compartments,
each being 60 feet in length, enabling her to take out
sufficient fuel for a voyage to Australia and back to
England without stopping.

MONEI- MARKET

a ND
COMATEECIAb INTELLIGENCE.

CITY. TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated -at 12,000 bales, including 4,000
American, and 1000 Surat, taken for exhort, and
on speculation. The market closed very firmly
atfull prices. The sales comprised 10,750 Ameri-
can ; 550 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to 70. ;
100 Bahia at Gid. to 6/d. ; 300 Egyptian, at Gd.
to 80. ; 3,000 Surat, at 3d. to 4d., and 300 Sea
Islands at 10d. to 2s. 2d. per lb. Railway Shares
were buoyant.
_ _ _

All applications for the Belgian loan for less
than 17,000 francs will receive 500 francs, and sub-
scribers of 17 to 34,000 francs will have an allot-
ment of 1,000 francs.

The steamer Atrato brings 1,898,345 dollars in
specie,- and ;the West Indian and Mexican mails.
The advices from the West Indies are not of a
very encouraging nature, in respect to trade at
Jamaica, but one scarcely expects any improvement
in that respect. The duties collected upon ruin
for the first of January amounted to 3,2471. The
introduction of new copper coins was affording
much accommodation. The Island Notes and Ex-
chequer-bills were much depreciated. Referring
to this, a Jamaica writer remarks :
".But we sincerely trust that the period is not now
,li'stant when it will be in our power to announce that
the Government has applied to Parliament for authority
to guarantee a loan for this i-land, and that the prospect
of an early redemption of the paper now in circulation
has presented itself. With Consols at a rate which
yields 31 per cent. interest, we do not despair of our four
per cent. stock being taken at par. When this is done,
we trust all complaints will be put an end to by the
withdrawal cf the Isatid Notes, and especially and par-
ticularly that our trading friends will never again be
~nbjected to the inconvenience they now experience."
The crops in Trelawny were abundant, and were
being . fast taken in. Rum, however, owing to its
relatively higher price in the London market, was
more freely manufactured than sugar.
Costa Rica is at present, it is said, in a more
ilourishitio• state than it has ever been, and is de-
cidedly the most prosperous and advanced part of
Central America.

A magnificent steam sawmill, imported from
the United States at a cost of $40,000, is now
tieing erected at Putna Arenas, and will soon be
completed.

The crops are good and increasing every year,
and the revenue of the republic is now consider-
ably greater than the expenses, so that the Govern-
ment is at present enabled to undertake several
fine public works, which do much credit to the
country. A very neat theatre has recently been
erected at San Jose, and is under the management
of Mr. Funnier, who is very successful in his per-
formances. A splendid public hospital is being
erected at San Jose, and another at Punta Arenas.
Trade throughout the country is tolerably brisk,
and the country generally in a very satisfactory
position.

A very serious calamity occurred at San Jose on
the night of the 26th February. The coffee mill of
Mr. A. Joy, through some neglect, caught fire,
and the entire establishment, with about 700 sacks
of coffee, was totally destroyed. The loss is esti-
mated at $30,000.
The Government of Costa Rica has ceded to Mr.
Luis Bayer the privilege of fishing for pearl shells
on the Pacific coast by submarine boats, for the
,um of $12,000 annually. It has also granted to
Lhe same gentleman the privilege of extracting
Jocoa nut oil from the trees which exist on the
free lands of the coast, for the sum of $4,000
annually.

A very neat and well compiled periodical, entitled
Fl Conipilador, has been recently started in San
Jose. It promises well.

At the meeting of the Canada Company this day
a report was presented which stated that the re-
ceipts from the land sold in the half year was
100,353/. 12s. 9d. The balance in hand was
85,0261. A dividend of 21. per share was declared.
The English funds have been very firm again,
• and rather higher even than previously. • Consols
have been 941 and 94g, and since 93k to 94, the
latest political intelligence regarding the alleged
retirement of M. Drodyn de l'Huys being calculated
to excite uneasiness. The New 31 per Cents. have
been 941 to 94i, and the 3 per Cents. 931 to 94g.
Exchequer Bills have been at par to 3s. premium,
and the Scrip of the New Bonds at tol prem.
Foreign Securities have been quiet again, but
the prices are not depressed. The amount received
for the Mexican dividends is stated to be 54,000
dollars. The Bonds are at 241 to H. Grenada

Cents., 50 to 52; Portuguese Four per Cents., 41
to 43; Russian Five per Cents., 97 to 99; Spanish
Certificates, 4 to 41 ; ditto Passive, 4 to 4/.
The Railway Share Market has been extremely
active, under the influence of the settlement of the
account, and the advanced prices of yesterday are
exceeded. The lines most dealt in have been Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, which have risen again ss.
to 10s. The Caledonian up nearly 11., the Great
Northern 21., the Midland 11., the York and
Ber Wick 1/. 10s., and the Eastern Counties, North

THE FRENCH' EMBASSY.—His Excellency the French
Ambassador and the Countess Walewski gave a superb
entertainment on Tuesday evening, at the residence of
the French Embassy, Albert•gate House, to their Royal
Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess
Mary, where several distinguished personages were in-
vited to meet the Royal guests. At ten o'clock, the
ambassadress threw open her salons for the reception of
a brilliant circ!e of the corps diplomatique and the aris-
tocracy. The visitors included nearly all the most dis-
tinguished leaders of fashion.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—This morning, at 10 o'clock,
a repectable female, who refused to give her name,
attempted self-destruction by drowning herself in the
Thames, at Blackfriars. Just as she was in the act of
sinking a waterman passing jumped out of his boat into
the river and saved her life.

A MAN KILLED IN TOOLEY-STREET.—This morning
a man named Driscoll, aged
.55 years, who resided at
Tattle-place, Bermondsey, expired in the accident ward
of Guy's Hospital, from the effect of severe injuries re-
ceived by an immense box of iron falling on his legs,
which shattered them in such a frightful manner that
amputation was the only thing that would have saved
his life, which he refused to have done, and by his ob-
stinacy:he lost his life.
INTREPID CONDUCT OF A LONDON FIRE BRIGADE-
MAN.- —This morning two youths named Williams and
Watson, residing near Bankside, were bathing in a very
dangerous part of the river near Southwark-bridge,
when one got into a hole, and his companion endeavoured
to save him. For some time the boys were carried
along with the tide, and were in the act of being sucked
under a barque, when G. Legg, belonging to the firesteam-
floating engine near the spot, stripped off his coat and
waistcoat, jumped into the boat, and succeeded in saving
the lives of both. This makes the fifth time the same
party has been instrumental in saving life.
Ma. FRANK TUSSAUD has just completed a most
excellent likeness ofi Mr. G. V. Brooke, the eminent
tragedian. The bust, represents Mr. Brooke in the cha-
racter of Virginias, one of this gentleman's most popular
personations,' the Roman costume being highly charac-
teristic and admirably suited to busts of this class. All
who know this eminent actor will be greatly pleased by
the success obtained in the likeness by the young and
talented artist. The bust is placed in the Wellington
Room.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

THE WAR.

ASIA.

Timis, May 30.—Schamyl is reported to have
advanced to Kachetie. Three British" officers are
with him.

The Ottoman army here is being organised. Its
moral state is satisfactory, and supplies are begin-
ning to become abundant.
_ _

LT, is known, besides, that the arms- of the enemy
is not numerous, and is not in a condition to assume
the offensive.

Trebizonde letters of the 9th make no mention
of a reported defeat of the Turks beyond Redout
Kaleh.

THE ANGLO-FRENCH EXPEDITION TO

THE EAST.

VAR A, June 19.—The Duke of Cambridge has
arrived between Varna and Shumla, on the Balkan.
The English forces are estimated at 20,000, the
French at 40,000.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 15th, in the
Moniteur, says :—" Some foreign journals have
spread the report of the concentration of the supe-
rior command of the Ottoman troops in the hand,
of the General-in-Chief of the French troops, and
of dissensions having taken place on the subject
between Omer Pacha and Marshal de St. Arnaud.
These reports are totally unfounded. Omer Pacha
preserves the fullness of his command ; and, in
their first interview at Varna, the three commanders
of the allied 'armies came entirely and without diffi-
culty to an understanding on all the combinations
which they had to concert."

RUSSIANS ON THE AUSTRIAN FRONTIER.

On the 25th, says a telegraphic despatch frOin.
Vienna, the Cossack picquets entered far into the

In several places on the Transylvanian frontier
supplies for the Russian cavalry have been col-
lected.
