tended by their suite, returned to Buckingham Palace.
The mess of her Majesty's Honourable Corps of Gentleman
at Arms dined together yesterday, for the first time this sea-
son, at Long's Hotel.

The attendance at her Majesty's Drawing-room
yesterday was very thin, and, although the assemblage in front
of St. James's, Palace was very numerous, there was but little
to demand their attention. The equipages of the Duke and
Duchess of Beaufort, and the Duke and Duchess of Argyll,
were very splendid. No others deserve mention.
DEATH OF GENERAL GORDON.—Accounts
have reached London of the decease of General Gordon' of
Cairness and Bushlaw, who expired rather suddenly at his
seat at Cairtie es, Aberdeenshire, on the 20th inst. The
General had chiefly resided during the last twenty years in
Greece, having proceeded there almost immediately after
the breaking out of the Greek revolution in 1821, and was
present in the latter part of that year at the siege and sur-
render of Tripolizza, when, notwithstanding General
Gordon's utmost endeavours, the most shocking enormities
were perpetrated by the Greeks towards the entire Turkish
population of that devoted city, in retaliation, as the
Greeks asserted, of the cruelties practised by the Turkish
forces in other parts of the Morea, in their endeavours to
put down the revolution. Immediately after that event
General Gordon was seized with a most dangerous illness,
from which he recovered under English medical treatment
at Z ante, but ever after cecasionally experienced trying
attacks upon his health. The General derived his mili-
tary rack from the Greek Goverament, as some return fur
his having so effectually assisted in obtaining freedom for
the Greeks, and in whose cause he annually spent the chief
part of hit immense f.n.tune. The General has left a widow
(an Armenian lady), by whom he has no issue.
A most atrocious crime has been committed in
the house of a noble family in the Faubourg St. Germain,
whom it has plurged in the deepest distress. The lady
of the house, young and of great beauty, had had for
some time in her service a Corsican cbasseur, who it ap-
pears had secretly entertained designs of the most crimi-
nal nature upon his mistress. A few nights since, after
the lady, who slept in a part of the mansion distant from
her husband's apartment, had retired to bed, and her fe-
male attendant had been gone for some time, the chasseur,
who had concealed himself in her room, made his appear-
ance, and, notwithstanding a most desperate resistance,
went to the last excesses with his unfortunate mistress.
The villain had taken every precaution to stifle her cries,
and prevent any sound from being heard ; he had even cut
off the bell-ropes. The crime was not discovered till
next morning, when the lady was found lying on the finer,
senseless, most severely injured, and bleeding. The
wounds she had received testified to the horrible struggle
she bad made in her defence. The feelings of the hus-
band may he more easily conceived than described on the
dreadful intelligence being communicated; and it was a
long time before the lady could be so far restored as to
give any account of what had happened. The man, who
had absconded, has been arrested. Galignani of Wed-
nesday.
Some further accounts from the Mauritius deal
with the subject of Indian labour in the colony, and
show that, the high wages at present paid are not to
be supported without bringing ruin on the planters.
It seems that the very unequal rates paid by differ-
ent planters incite those engaged on the lowest scale
to acts of insubordination to get their engagements
cancelled, that they may hire themselves to others on bet-
ter
terms ; and it very often turns out that those who pay
the better wages get no more work done than those who
refuse to give them. Upon the whole, the introduction
of Indian labour, although high wages have been paid,
has not benefited the colony, and the planters are now as
loud in their complaints against it as they were pre-
viously in favour of it. As to the comparative increase
of wages, it is said that at first five rupees per month
were giver, and this has been increased to tea, and
even more, but the planters are in a great measure
dissatisfied viiih these as standing wages, and feel
much inclined to reduce them to three dollars (about
six rupees), referring to the " little fortunes" that the
labourers who have returned to India saved from the
five rupees monthly wages, as a proof that it would
be adequate far all wants. To do this they pro-
posed to encourage emigration from Java, Sums-
tra, and the other islands in the Indian Archipelago,
but it has strong opposition, as flooding the colony
with a population which its plantations have not the
means to support, and it is also said that the introduction
of labour under such circumstances would not be accele-
rated as wage; little better, taking all things into consider-
ation, than could be procured at the places from which they
hope to obtain the supply. Emigration is at any time a
very undesirable change, but the more so when it appears
to have so signally failed in the Mauritius, both as respects
the planter and the labourer.

DESTRUCTION OF THE SHIP
AUSTRALIA.
(From the Glasgow Courier.)

The following are extracts from a letter received in
Edinburgh from a cabin passenger cf the brig Australia,
from Leith to Port Phillip, which vessel was consumed by
fire at sea, off the coast of Africa, on the 29th of Decem-
' ber, dated near Care Town :
I shall endeavour to give you an account of this awful
calamity, and the miseries we have endured since : fur pre-
serving me to be able to do no, I trust I shall ever be grate-
ful to Almighty God who heard our cry, and has won-
deifully guided us, and brought us to this land. The
25th of December, being Christmas-day, we were be-
calmed, and from many associations, the day was spent
happily. In the morning we killed a shark ; and I
prevailed on the Captain to lower the stern-boat to
get a few hours' shooting at the sea birds, which sur-
rounded the ship in great numbers, which he was kind
enough to allow. We had an excellent day's sport. I
shot four of those large birds the albatross—they mea-
sured from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other 10
feet ; we had them dressed, intending to eat them for our
new year's dinner, but. alas I our expectations acre mi-
serably frustrated, and instead of the happiness we ex-
pected, we were on that day a crew of half-starved mi-
serable creatures, our uew-yeat's dinner consisting of a
quarter of a biscuit soaked ',dill set water, about two inches
of raw ham, and a table-spoonful of water. From the 25th
until the 29th we had very rough weelier, the ship rolling
tremendously. We had supped at seen o'clock, and
went upon deck after, as was our usual custom. On
going below to the cabin a smell of smoke was rercer-
tible, which was thought might proceed from the steward's
pantry, or some of the ladies' berths. We soon found en
removing the goods from the after-cabin and passengers'
berths that tse smoke proceeded from the hold, which
was now increasing rapidly. We now hove the ship -te,
being off the Cape of Good Hope, in lat. 35 50, and
long. 8, the Cape being 34 30, and long. 18, so that we
were upwards of 500 miles in a direct line from land,
and sailing with every sail set the ship could carry.
The order was now given to threw the cattle over-
board, break in the hulk-head to endeavour to get at the
fire with water, and to open the main hatches. The con-
fusion on deck was now awful. One of the bulls got
loose in endeavouring to get him overboard; the deck
was covered with spars and sails, and the smoke was now
so great that no person could work or remain below for
any time, and was bursting through every crevice of the
ship fore and aft ; it was impossible to get off the hatches to
get at thefire with water. We now saw it was impossible to
save the ship, and our exertions were therefore directed to
get the boats launched and save our lies from fire; the sea
was running so high we thought it impossible the boa's could
live in it; after much difficulty we succeeded at last in
getting the long boat that the bulls occupied overboard, and
towed at the stern, into which we threw a few bogs of
biscuits, half a cask of water, some hams, a few cheeses, and
a small jar of brandy. I was now almost exhausted working
upon deck, and ran down to get a drink. I had scarcely
finished, and on looking through the crevice we had broke
out at the bulk-head in the after-cabin, I perceived the
whole hold was like a furnace, and that the sooner we got
into the boats the better. I, therefore, ran to my berth,
seized the only thing I cared much about, the Bible I
got from Annie the day I left Scotland and her dear
self ; previous to this I had succeeded in throwing my
portmanteau and hat-box into the long-boat ; the rest of
the passengers could save nothing. The darkness was
dispelled by the flames now bursting from the fore
hatches, which increased our exertions to get all our
three boats launched; at last this was accomplished in
the midst of flames, and we all gat safe into the boats.
We had scarcely got the boats cut from the ship when the
mainmast fell overboard with a tremendous crash, the ship
and rigging being all in one volume of flame, and light-
ing the whole heavens and the surrounding atmosphere for
miles around. It was now one o'clock; and thus, in a
few short hours were we launched upon the wide ocean;
without a mast or sail. Fortunately we had a compass ,
and although the sea ran heavy, yet the wind was favour-
able, and the boats, being all towed together, were al-
lowed to drift befora the wind until the morning light ap-
peared, when we succeeded in erecting two blankets for
sails, with two oars for masts, having cut away our third
boat, and divided the crew into two-19 being in the
long boat, and nine in the small. We now steered in an

easterly direction, endeavouring to make the Cape of
Good Hope. For eight days and nine nights were we
driven about on the mighty deep. To describe to
you or give you an idea of the miseries we endured
would be impossible. During the whole time not a
dry rag was upon one of us. We had no scats even
to sit upon, but lay like a parcel of pigs in the bottom of
the boat, which being used on board of ship as a house for
the cattle, was in a most filthy state with dung ; and the
waves, breaking in over the boat, washed the filth into our
clothes, and the few blankets we had preserved. Day and
night we were obliged to be constantly baling out the
water, which we did with one of Mr. Gillon's soup carols.
ters, it being the only vessel we had, which alternately
served for this purpose and for mixing up our allowance
of water and brandy, which, to each person, consisted of a
teaspoonful of brandy into a wine-glass full of water three
times a day, with a quarter of a biscuit, and occasionally
about half an ounce of raw ham or cheers. Thus, half-
starved with hunger, thirst, and cold, on the morning of
Wednesday, the 6th Jan., we came in sight of land, in a
mierable condition. Three were lying in the bottom of the
bostinlensible,one deranged, and one dead iron cold and the
effects of drinking the sea water. Had our miseries been
prolonged longer, few of us mild have survived another
twenty-four hours. I despaired of ever seeing you
again in this world, and wished, if I was to perish, that
death might not be ta; dy in its execution ; but morning,
noon, and night, our earnest prayers were sent up to God,
who has wonderfully delivered us, and brouo.ht us to a land
of plenty. On Wednesday morning, then, cur spirits
were raised by seeing the land. Oars were put to the
boats, and we pulled for it as hard as our strength would
permit, and landed on a barren coast about 200 miles to
the north of the Cape of Good Hope, and about ten to the
north of Oliphant River. Here, after hauling up our
boatr, we rested during the heat of the meridian sun,
which was excessive ; and in the evening erected a tent
and kindled a fire. We here dug a grave for the poor
boy who died, whose name was John Chisholm, from
Inverkeithing, a steerage passenger; he has a
brother and taro titers with us. We had next
day the same melancholy office to perform to the lad
who went mad ; his name was George Peat, likewise a
steerage passenger, from Perth. This day we got all our
blankets and clothes dried ; and having our tent erected, we
lighted a fire, and having divided ourcrcw into four watches,
we went to sleep. The next day we endeavoured to ex-
plore the country and find some fresh water, but we could
see nothing as far as the eye could reach but bush grow-
ing upon the hot sand ; in short all barren, and no trace
of being inhabited. We therefore determined to get every-
thing in order to prepare to march next morning as far as
we could along the sea-coast in search of a river, the mouths
of several being marked in the chart, and the captain was
certain we could not be far from one. Accordingly,
by day-break, each with his burden of clothes, shove,
bread, or water, we commenced our weary journey over
burning sands and under a scorching sun. It would have
been of no avail, suppose we had saved anything from the
ship, as we were obliged to throw everything away except
the clothes on our backs. The few things I saved is my
portmanteau I divided amongst part of the crew, who lost
their own clothes. The portmanteau and hat-box were
completely destroyed with sea-water. My splendid ward-
robe now eensists of one pair of torn trousers, one coot, one
vest, one pair of shoes and socks, one shirt, and one hay.
With walking and resting, alternately, we accomplished
to walk about seven miles, and rested wearied, hungry,
and fainting from thirst ; this was on Friday. On Sa-
turday morning, having slept in the bush, we again
resumed our march, and, about eight o'clock our
drooling spirits were aroused by the sight of a river ; and
going further up in quest of fresh water, we discovered
a fisherman's hut, and saw people walking about.
Our despair was now turned into joy, and sincerely
did we humble ourselves before our Heavenly
Father, and pour out our thanksgiving for leading us at
last to our so much wished-for haven; and having hoisted
our colours, which, fortunately we preserved, we were
glad to see a boat with three men put off, and, on coming
to land, one of them proved to be an Englishman, who
happened to be on a visit to the Dutch fisherman's
house, and who acted as ieterpreter between us and
Mynheer Low, the boor's name. We told them of our ca-
lamity and miserable situation, and in a few hours after we
were enjoying ourselves over a haunch of venison and rice,
and, what in our eyes was as precious, a glass of
spring water. We were assured we were now among
Chrisnian people, and that we would want for nothing.
We have, indeed, found it so. I could not have believed
there was such kindness and hospitality in the world as these
Dutch people have shown to us ever since we have been
here ; the kindness we have experienced from these people
is incredible. One storekeeper and farmer, on our arrival,
sent us a present of six sheep, two bags of rice, tea, sugar,
meat, brandy, and raisins ; others sent us bread, fruit, Sse.
We remained at Oliphant's River until Monday last, in
order that the Governor of the colony might make arrange-
ments to transport us to Cape Town. We are now travel-
ling through the country, at Government's expense, in
three waggons drawn by 11 oxen each. I have written
sou from here for the purpose of sending it forward to
Cape Town by the waggons. I must remain here a few
days behind the rest of our party, in consequence of the
illness of Mr. Harris, a cabin passenger, who has been so
ill that he is not able to proceed further at present."

TILE BISHOP OF WORCESTER.—It is with
the sincerest feeling of regret that we notice the serious
illness of our very benevolent and warm-hearted Dicce-
san. lie was fact week attacked by the complaint to
which he has been subject—hiccough, with cruel vio-
lence, and was soon reduced to such a condition of
weakness and prostration of vital energy, that his medi•
cal attendant, Mr. Pierpoint, had the worst apprehen-
sions for the result. We have learned this morning
with extreme satisfaction that his Lordship enjoyed a
little sicep last night, by which he is somewhat re-
freshed, and that the immediate violence of the disorder
is mitigated. Never heless, nature has so far sunk under
the seizure, and the strong rerneJica employed to re-
lieve it, that the Right Rev. Prelate lies in a state which,.
we are sorry to say, forbids our holding out much hope of
his ultimate restoration to the blessings of health. Had
he not been gifted by nature with an excelb.nt constitu-
tion, he mu't have sunk, crc this, under the aggravated
violence of the disease ; but in that natural constitutional
vigour there is vet hope, and none desire more heartily
than we do that that hope may be realised in the recover).

EVENING EDITION

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAFERS OF THIS DAY.
C H RON ICL E.—The Times of yesterday, in an article
intended to cement the new-born friendship between Con-
servatism and Chat tism, puts forth all its powers of argu-
ment to show " that there is every poisible reason why
the Chartists at Nott;ngham should support the anti-
M:nisterial candidate." For once we hale the pleasure
of subscribing unraservedlv to the opinion of our Contem-
porary. Yes, there is ;very possible reason why the
consistent and clear-seeing Chartist should prefer the
Tory to the Whig candidee. There is every possible
reason why ha should detest, and, ny every means in
his power, seek to overthrow the Whirs Government, in
schemesit is of
nosc social ly revolution.t odi,ti.. uullsnh
whose policy he finds an insurmountable barrier to
the realization cf his
speaking of the Chartists,betweca the followers of Feargus O'Connor and bthose
who shore the views of Messrs. Lovett, Collins, Vincen•
&e., who are fiercely denounced in the IVorthera Star,
the newspaper of Feargus, as utterly unworthy of public
confi tenet', and as little better than traitors to the working
classes. We need not say the the Chartists, on whose
support Mr. Walter relies, belong to the class of whom
Feargus O'Connor is the loader, and Mr. Brontcrre O'Brien
the oracle. The Chartist of this class is one who seeks for
the most swrepliss and extensive pokiest reforms as a
means towards sti.l more sweeping sod extensile changes
ins the tenure of property, the relations between capi-
:al and labour; and, in a word, the whole structure
a-d framework of our existing system of soci, t.y. Who-
ever has attended in the least to the language cf the
Chartist orators and pub.cations, must be well aware that
" revolution,'' not " reform," is the object in view ; and
that the " five points of the Charter" arc seaght as the
means of realiziog a more equsl distribution of property, a
lesislitive rnieimuni of wages, the abolition of hereditary
distinctions, and other theories of a similar 'tense which
have been fermenting more or less violently for the last fifty
years in the mass of popular suffering _and discontent,
caused by the sudden and immense development of the
modern manufacturing system, coupled with the shamefsl
neglect of everything connected with the moral, intcl-
hetual, and physical condition of the working classes,
on the part of their rulers. With men who have such ob-
jects in view, those who seek for reform* a means, not of
destruction but of renovation and increased stability, have
nothing in common. This is the sestet of the predilec-
tion of the Chartists for a Tory Government. As long
as a Government attached to the institutions of the country
and resolute in defence of social order, but at. the same
time unfettered by obstinate prejudices, and liberal-minded
enough to throw itself frankly on public opinion, and on
the intelligence of the middle and more respectable of Ore
working classes as its surest support—in other words, as
long as a Government acting on the maxima and
principles of the Reform Bill, of Negro Email-
cipation, Tithe Reform, Municipal Reform, Justice
to Ireland, and the various other measures which coneti.
lute the policy of the Whig administrations of the last
ten years—remains at the head of affairs, so long, as the
intelligent Chartist leaders know well by experience, there
does not exist the slightest pessible chance for qty schemes
which savour of revolution. But give them a few years
of Castlereagh government, outrage public feeling by a
few attempts to " coerce the unruly wills of the people,"
drive Ireland to rebellion by the application of a few tessll.
timed Registration Bills, disgust the middle classes of
England by a few declarations like the memorable one of
the Duke of Wellington against all reform, and the cause
of Chartism is by no means so desperate. Given a Pc.
lignite Administration, a revolution of July is always a
possible product.
TIME S.—We observe that an article which we pub-
lished on Thursday has been mistaken by a respectable
morning Contemporary for an " explosion " of anger
against the Conservative party in general, on account of
some supposed lukewarmness of the Nottingham Con-
servatives in their support of Mr. Walter. Now, as we
never had the smallest reason to believe that any such
lukewarmness existed, it is scarcely necessary for us to
disclaim the imputation of having written under the influence
of the feeling which our Contemporary imagines. We in-
tended, not to attnck the Conservative statesmen, but to warn
them of the probable consequences of perseverance in a
feeble and uneConservatile course of policy. For this res.
son, and for this cause only, we mode a fact, the occurrence
of which was within our knowledge, serve as a text
for such remarks as we thought suitable to the occasion.
It is insinuated that we invented the fact for our own par-
pcseF, as an instrument for conveying our own sentiments
in n gratuitously coarse and intemperate manner ; we are
even accused of having " designated the leaders of the
Conservative party a set of scoundrels." We tkerefore
think it necessary to explain, that when we quoted the
strong and offhand expression of one whom we knew to be
an honest. man and a staunch Conservative, to the effect
that, by turning out the present Ministry, tho country
would only gain the substitution of " one set cf scoundrels
far another," we had not the remotest idea of adopting a
phrase which no reasonable man would apply, calmly and
seriously, in its literal sense, to Lord Lansdowne, or Lord
John Russell, much less to such men as Loyd Stanley,
Lord Lyndhurst, and Sir Robert Pee!. We disapprove
the phrase, and give it up altogether, as hasty, offensive,
inappropriate, and personally unjust to those distinguished
men. Why, then, did we not suppress it ? Simply because
we did not wish to garble our quotation, and thought it well
to let the Conservative leaders see what bitterness of feeling
their Whig propensities have a tendency to excite in the
minds of what we verily believe to be a large class of their
most valuable supporters. The feeling which was uppermost
in the mind of the respectable person who gave vent in such
unmeasured terms to his impartial dislike of the aisirants
to office, as wail as i:s possessors, was evidently one of
attachment to certain principles, and disappointment at
the conduct of those whom he had supposed to be their
champions. It was a conviction that the two parties
within the wails of the House of Commons, of which
Lord John Russell and Sir Basest Peel arc the respec-
tive leaders, act as if they were separated from each
ether by a very slender partition of principle; that, in
personal character, both have the it strong and both
their weak points ; and that the difference between
them (if no greater than it seems to be) is scarcely
one for the sake of which it can be worth white to
agitate the country. It was a firm persuasion, that upon
certain subjects of the greatest importance to both Church
and State, the great body of Conservatives entertnie views
and feelings which meet with no encouragement front their
leaders in the House of Commons. It was a suspicion
that the triumph of \Vhig principles would be more etre,-
tually promoted by a semi-Liberal Conservative Ministry,
under the pressure from without of a violent aVhig oppo-
sition, than by a measuring-cast majority of Whigs, kept
in check by the party of Sir Robert Peel. We believe
that nothing more than this was intended by the strong
language which has given so much offence to our Con-
temporaries.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAFERS OF TIIIS DAT.

POST.----The position of the stock and money markets has
changed but very slightly since yesterday. • The late advance.
seems to have had the effect of bringing forward, as is usually,
the case, some amount of stock to be realised. Several par-
cels were sold in the course of the day, but the sums did not, in
either case, prove of any magnitude, so that no impression was
made upon the quotations.
In the foreign house there was a little improvement in the
Spanish funds. This was attributed to the fact of Senhor
Sanchez Silva having, on the 13th instant, brought for-
ward in the Cortes a proposition for placing the over Cue in-
terest on the Active Stock on something like a just and
proper footing, entitling this portion of the foreign debt,
which is certainly the most sacred of all, to the
higher rate of five instead of three per c nt., as con-
no answer has been receied direct,
templated by the plan of the ex-Minister of Finance,
Senor Gamboa. This act of common justice is what WIIS
