ANOTIIER STEAM-BOAT MUTINY.—On
Sunday last, in consequence of the Directors of the New
Greenwich Steam-Packet Company, the owners of the
red funnel-boats, consisting of the Nelson, Hardy, Vic-
tory, Swiftsure, and the Nile, having come to a resolu-
tion not to pay the captains and crews extra wages for
the extra passages performed by them in the evening
during the summer months, all hands resolved to mutiny,
but the revolt of the Greenwich fleet did not terminate
quite so successfully as that of the iron steam-boat fleet
a few weeks since above bridge. The men belonging to
the Greenwich fleet struck their colours, and lowered
their funnels early on Sunday morning, to indicate that
the steamers would not get under way until payment
for the extra passages WAS guaranteed. The Directors
refused to give way, but a negotiation was entered into
which ended in nothing, and during the whole of Sun-
day, while other steamers were carrying thousands of
passengers and reaping a good harvest, the red funnel
boats remained at their moorings. Next morning an
arrangement was made between the Company and their
servants, by which payment for the extra passages, a
sum trifling in amount, was secured to the captains and
crews, but two of the red funnel boats were taken off
the station, and only three have since continued running.
It appears that owing to the great competition which
exists among the steam-boat companies, no fewer than
twenty steam-vessels running between London mid
Greenwich, some of them have, &wing the present year,
scarcely taken sufficient to pay for fuel and defray the
pier dues, which are very heavy both at Greenwich and
London.
THE SPEAKER'S OPINION OF THE CORN..
LAWS. Mr. G. S. Lefevre said to the elector.; of
North Hants—" I am quite sure you will agree with me,
that some compromise must be come to °if this subject ;
for, whatever Government is in power, whether Whig or
Tory, they must look this question in the face, sit is
no longer safe that the manufacturing and agricultural
interests should be arrayed against each other on a sub-
ject of such immense magnitude."

RAILROADS.—An instance of the amazing ra-
pidity with which communication can now be effected through
the medium of railroads was afforded on the 30th ult. A spe-
cial train was despatched from Birmingham to London on elec-
tion business at 12 r nt., (calling in its course at seven inter-
mediate stations, and suffering delay to the amount altogether
of 14 minutes), and arrived at Euston-square at 11 minutes
past 3, ; thus performing the distancelof 112 i miles
(exclusive of stoppages) in two hours and 57 minutes !
There needs no further evidence of the excellent state of the
arrangements on this railway, the perfection of the engines,
and the admirable condition in which the line is maintained.
The advantages of such means of transit at such a period of
general excitement as the present are incalculable, and must be
peculiarly appreciated by the press, and in consequence by the
public, who reap the benefit of the exertions, to whom the
facility of obtaining speedy information as to what is passing
in the provinces is of the greatest importance, and to whom,
by the extreme courtesy of the Directors of this railway, such
facilities are now afforded to the utmost.
Great and natural as is the predilection of the
Tory tribe fear a certain Noble Lieutenant-Colonel, who has
much distinguished himself out of the field—strong and undis-
guised as is the partia'ity at the Horse Guards for one who
never smelt powder, but on field-days and at reviews, merely
because he is of the gallant Chief's own party and order-7-in-
fluential as such causes doubtless would prove in most cases,
yet the 1,500 veterans of the United Service Club, though
four-fifths of them are of the most decidedly anti-liberal per-
suasion, could not be prevailed upon to compr he
omise tmselves
by admitting the patron of Sunday flogging, the implacable
enemy of black bottles, among their associated number. The
negatives were so numerwis that an old officer exclaimed.
