The Saturn, depot and guard-ship, at Pembroke,
Captain Superintendent Sir Thomas S. Pasley, has
been commissioned since the 11th October.
The Hound, 8, Commander Patten, received her
full complement from the hulk, on Tuesday. She
went out of Hamoaze yesterday to have her compasses
adjusted by Mr. Walker, the Queen's harbour-
master. She will be mustered and inspected by Vice-
Admiral Sir John Louis, Bart., on Friday, and will
sail on Saturday, after the arrival of the mail, for the
Coast of Africa.

The Dart, 3, brigantine, Lieutenant Commander
Hill, will be paid off at Sheerness from the Coast of
Africa.

The Terrible, 21, steam frigate, Captain James
Hope, has commenced entering men at Woolwich, 50
having been placed on her books on Tuesday and
Wednesday. She is only ordered a complement of
300 ; when last in commission she had 321. Her
first lieutenant, Mr. Miller, took up his commission
yesterday.
The Sidon steam-frigate will not be complete in
the engineers' department at Portsmouth, before the
end of next week.

The Niger screw-sloop, at Woolwich, is ordered
to be sent to Devonport, to be kept there as advanced
steamer.

The Archer screw-sloop, at Woolwich, is ordered
to be prepared for commission.
The Stromboli, 6, Commander Lord A. W. Beau-
clerk, arrived at Devonport on Tuesday morning,
with supernumeraries for the Indefatigable. After
landing them, she sailed again directly for Queens-
town, with newly-raised men for the Superb, and is
ordered to return to Devonport and wait orders.
The Shearwater, 3, steam•vessel, Lieutenant-Com-
mander Turnour, has arrived at Galway for the pro-
tection of the fisheries.

The Trident, 3, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com-
mander Risk, has arrived at Queenstown with provi-
sions from Belfast, and with men for the Superb.

The Flamer steam-packet, Lieutenant-Commander
Jones, is ordered to proceed to Portsmouth, from
Holyhead, and to turn over her packet fittings to the
Fire Queen steam-vessel, to be fitted for the Holyhead

THE WEST INDIA SQUADRON.

PORT ROYAL, OCT. 24.—1 n Harbour—The
Imaum, 12, Commodore Bennett; the Persian, 16,
Commander Bulman ; the Helena, 16, Commander
de Courcy ; and the Plumper, 10, Commander N ol-
loth.

The Wellesley, 72, Captain Goldsmith, bearing the
flag of Vice-Admiral the Earl of Dundonald, G.C.8.,
and the Vixen steam sloop, Commander Jenner, are
at Halifax, expected at Bermuda the beginning of
next month.

The Sappho, 16, Commander Michell, is daily
expected from the Havannah.
The Viper schooner is at La Guayra.
The Bermuda schooner, Lieutenant• Commander
'Jolly, is at the Gulf of Florida.
The Helena has had many severe cases of fever ;
the Sappho has also been sickly ; the Plumper, too,
has suffered similarly. The Helena is about to pro-
ceed to Turk's Island, to ascertain the proper site for
a lighthouse there.
The Persian was about to sail for Port-au-Prince
and St. Domingo.
The Admiral is expected here towards the end of
December.

The Plumper, just before leaving this part of the
station, had taken Fort Truxillo, and obtained part
of a debt owed by Honduras to the English Govern-
ment. Truxillo town has 2,000 or 3,000 inhabitants.
Commander Nolloth landed with nearly the whole
of his ship's company.
The heat has been very great here lately. The
inhabitants and the ship's crew generally are suffering
much with large and painful boils.
The Plumper has sent several cases of fever to the
Naval Hospital since her arrival at Port Royal. This
is not to be wondered at, considering that when her
steam is up the thermometer stands as high as 126
degrees on the lower deck, an amount of heat greater
than is shown when the instrument is exposed to the
direct rays of the sun.

ELIZA COOK'S jOURNAL.—This pleasing and popu-
lar periodical continues ably to maintain its character
for variety, usefulness, and interest. Tho talented,
poetess herself contributes a large portion of its con-
tents, with which the public will be sure to be gratified.
Among her articles in the present number we may men-
tion a very nicely-written essay on " Old Tunes," and
some charming verses. There are also admirable papers
by Silverpen, Charles Switin, Robert Story, and among
the shorter articles the " Diamond Dust" scattered
throughout the work is bright and sometimes brilliant.
Good thoughts and correct feelings are therein often.
times expressed in a happy and terse manner. The
Journal, indeed, altogether proceeds very satisfactorily.

THE EIDER (Somaleria Mollissims).—Captain
Penny, of the Advice, who, much to his honour, had
penetrated in search of Sir John Franklin as far as Navy
Board Inlet, in Lancaster Sound, discovered, upon land-
ing on one of Wollaston's Island, in this inlet, some few
pairs of these singular birds vet remaining, together
with numerous nests, the occupants of which had, with-
out doubt, winged their way southwards. It is always
in the most dreary and inhospitable parts of the north
that eiders are found in the greatest numbers, and where
they may be said to be quite at home—as in Iceland,
in the Fern Islands, and in other northerly places, where
they serve many important purposes, and the inhabit-
ants would find their comfort much diminished if they
were deprived of the riders; their beautiful and delicate
down is proof against the most severe cold, and without
very serious injury to the birds, a vast quantity of the
finest down is procured from them every year. So firm
and elastic is this down, that the same quantity which
can be compressed and concealed between the two hands
will serve to form a garment, which, while it has hardly
the weight of a festher, has more warmth than the finest
blanket. It would appear that the singular combination
of lightness and warmth exhibited in the eider down has
induced Messrs. Nicoll, the eminent wholesale woollen
manufacturers and Paletot makers, of Regent-street and
Cornhill, to make some eff. rt to reduce these peculiari-
ties to their purpose, and the result is, that they have
secured their invention (a decidedly novel manufacture)
by royal letters patent.
A large number of forged Bank of England notes
are in circulation in Limerick and adjoining counties,

the police-constables of the F division in passing
he building perceived smoke pouring forth from the
upper part of the premis-s. This sat'sfied the officer
hat fire was raging within, and in the course of a fe w
ninutes engines from Messrs. Combe and Delafield's
ire wery, the parish, London Brigade, and West of
England Company, arrived. The firemen then found
he whole of the upper portion of Mr. Sullivan's pro-
uerty in a blaze of light, and strong fears were enter-
tained lest the houses in the courts on either side of
he one on fire should become ignited. At this
Jeriod the residents of the numerous contiguous houses
were running to and fro in a state of laartial frenzy,
and were taking shelter in the buildings in front
and back of those on fire, and at the same time a cry
was raised that an elderly man was in the house then
in flames. Everything was done by the crowd
assembled to make him sensible of his impending
danger, but without effect. The engines of the
brewery, London Brigade, and West of England,
were worked with full vigour, and water was scattered
nto the midst of the fire, but, notwithstanding, the
work of destruction continued, and it was not until
-,ast nine o'clock that the fire could be extinguished,
and not until the upper part of Mr. Sullivan's premises
Was completely destroyed. As soon as the place was
,ufficiently cooled for the firemen to enter they
intended, by means of scaling ladders, to the uppr
part cf the house destroyed, and after searching for
iome time, they at length found the lifeless body of
he poor man who was missing. He was lying on
his face on the second floor, and from the contortion
of the features, it was quite clear that the unfortunate
man had died from suffocation. His name, it is
understood, was James Oliver, and it is stated that
he was a pensioner in the Royal Navy. A shell was
immediately procured, and the body was placed
,herein, and removed to the workhouse, where it
waits a coroner's inquest. Respecting the origin of
-,he fire, nothing that can be depended upon could be
ascertained.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN
RAILWAY.
A special general meeting of the proprietors of
,tock and shares in this company took place yesterday
,t the Nine Elms Station, Vauxhall, for the purpo,e of
nabling the proprietors to determine upon the pro
iriety of making application to Parliament in the en-
+uing session for an extension of the time for carrying
Jut the powers of the London-bridge Extension Act

of 1846.
Mr. Chaplin, M.P., took the chair shortly after
one o'clock.
The CHAIRMAN having stated the object of the
meeting,
A resolution was moved to the effect that
the directors should be empowered to give
the usual notice of their intention to apply
-.0 Parliament next session for an extension
A the time for carrying cut the London-bridge
Extension Act.
Mr. KAY, of Manchester moved, and Mr. WALKER
of the same place, seconded the following resolution :
" That it is at present inexpedient to apply to Par-
liament for an extension of the powers of the London
bridge Extension Act, 1846, it being the opinion of this
meeting that the capital accounts of the corn pany should be
Aosed without further delay; the liabilities of the com-
pany ascertained and stated by the directors in their
next half-yearly report; and that the future energies of
;he directors should be entirely devoted to developing
,be traffic resources of the company on its different lines
and branches, and to introducing and enforcing the most
rigid economy in every department of the company's
works and affairs."
After a long and stormy discussion the amendment
was carried by a large majority amid the most en-
thusiastic cheering.
The result of carrying the amendment is, that the
proprietors determine not to extend the line from
che Waterloo-road to London-bridge.
Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE then proceeded to propose
che following resolution :
" That the directors be requested not to attend the
'reefing of delegates in Palace-yard, and that a petition
be presented to Parliament in favour of a Government
audit."
Lord MORLEY, a director, said it appeared to him
that a very grave and serious charge having been
made against the board, the meeting are bound to
appoint a committee of inquiry.
Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE thought the meeting had
better first discuss the audit question.—(Hear, hear.)
He had received from all parts of the country letters
remonstrating against the conduct of the self- elected
delegates who had met in Palace-yard.—(Hear,
hear.) He could not adequately confess his sense of
the indelicacy of those proceedings. Thank God, the
eyes of the country were open to the deeds of railway
directors and Parliamentary lawyers—(Cheers)—and
they could no longer be deceived by efforts to cast all
the blame of the past on that unfortunate, and as he
really believed, injured man. Mr. Hudson.—(Great
laughter.) Another hole-and-corner meeting was to
take place on the 3d of December, and it was to that
meeting that his resolution related.
The resolution having been seconded,
Mr. HELPS said, that even if the propositions of the
delegates would afford a fair security, they would
clearly never obtain the sanction of public opinion in
raising the value of railway property in the mar-
ket.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. DOTES said his experience during the last
twelve months had convinced him that a Government
audit would not alone afford sufficient protection.—
'Hear, hear.) He was not in favour of such an audit.
—(Hear, hear.) At the same time he agreed with
Mr. Sergeant Gazelee in respect to the proceedings
in Palace-yard.—(Cheers.) It was simply a meeting
of directors, and the cloven foot crept out in nearly
every proceeding. By one resolution it was provided
that the auditors should report, not to the sh irehOlders,
but to the directors. The effect of that would
be, that if the report were favourable to the board it
would be submitted to the proprietors, if unfavour-
able, it would be cushioned.—(Hear, hear.) The
6th resolution was unjust, the Bth simply ridiculous.
5s His opinion was that the proper course was to ask
i Parliament for increased powers for the investiga-
tion .
of their own affairs.—(Loud cheers) He
)4 then proposed a series of resolutions; the first con-
j% demning the Bill agreed to at the Palace-yard meeting
.oF as not adapted to the end in view, and the next de-
claring that in any Act which might be passed
ample provision should be made to enable share
holders to make a more minute investigation into
their own affairs than had hitherto been practicable.
The other resolutions were in accordance with the
!oregoing. He concluded by urging the proprietors
to dismiss from their minds the delusion, that if they
had a Government audit, they might go to sleep.
They must exercise their rights with vigilance, or by
and bye they would have no property to protect.
Mr. KAY observed that the resolution passed in
Palace-yard provided that the accounts presented to
half-yearly meetings should be final. He strongly
objected to any such provision. At a recent London
and North-Western meeting the reports were issued
damp from the; press to the proprietors assembled.
The principle involved in the resolution was contrary
to that acted upon in all the great banking- house and
mercantile firms of London. He believed that, in the
house of which Mr. Glyn was a member, any error
exceeding 1001. might be taken into consideration
after the accounts had been passed.
Mr. HALL, magistrate of Bow-street, was decidedly
in favour of a Government audit, and equally in favour
of conferring increased powers on proprietors.
Mr. REED (a director), was against this active
interference of a Government auditor, because it was
founded on the very unsound principle of Government
meddling with private affairs.—(Cries of " No, no,"
and "Hear, hear.") He would propose the following
resolution :
" That a committee be appointed to examine the
question of audit, and to recommend in a report to
the shareholders the plan they may deem best for
procuring and establishsng an effective audit, and
also such measures as they may think are essential to
the protection of the interests of the shareholders."
Mr. TITE observed, that when the capital account
was closed, as it soon would be, all the auditing would
have reference to two or three hundred thousand pounds
of revenue. Was it to be believed that such business-
like men as their present auditors were incompetent
to discharge that duty ?
The CHAIRMAN had received a nearly equal-number
of letters for and against the Government audit.
Mr. BIRCISAM, the company's solicitor, having been
asked to declare whether the audit question, not hav-
ing been included in the advertisement, any resolution
on the subject would be legal, declared that no reso •
lotion for practical purposes would be legal, but that
it was open to the meeting to make any expresaion of
opinion.
After some further discussion, Mr. Sergeant Gaze-
lee's resolution- was put, and the Chairman declared it
to have been lost.
Mr. Reed's resolution was then carried unanimously.
The following are the names of the committee :
Mr. Hall, Mr. Sergeant Gazelee, Mr. Locke, Mr.
Helps, Mr. Hoys, Mr. Baker, with power to add one
to their number.
The meeting was about to separate, when
The Ciaramas reminded Hen. Proprietors that they
had not yet appointed a committee to investigate the
charges brought against the directors, and called upon
Mr. Sergeant Gazelee, as the originator of those
charges, to propose an investigation.
On the meeting exhibiting an indispositinn to en-
tertain the question,
The CilasaN.Art put it to those present (many pro-
