the Dart, running from here to Dieppe. It pp steamer

the weatheraea being
she left Dieppe yesterday morning,
very fair, with about twenty-five passengers on board.
About three hours after she had put to sea one of the
cast-iron beams, on which the piston works, suddenly
snapped, causing the greatest alarm amongst the pas
sengers. Captain Cheeseman acted with great firmness,
and did all in his power to allay the alarm. When the
extent of injury was discovered the engineer discon-
nected the damaged engine, and succeeded in reaching
Brighton with the help of the sails and one engine about
four hours after their proper time. On arriving at the
pier-head the wind was blowing rather stiff, and having
only one engine at work she was so unruly that some
damage was done to the piles by her dashing against
them. The broken beam was taken out of her this morn-
ing, and Mr. Black, the agent to the Company, imme-
diately proceeded to town to get another vessel round in
her place, as to-morrow (Saturday) is the day she
ought to leave here for Dieppe.
THE APOSTLE OF TEMPERANCE..— The
Freeman of yesterday states that " his Holiness, Gregory
XVI., has exalted the Very Rev. Theobald Mathew to
the high office of Commissary-Apostolic, which places
him for life at the head of his order in Great Britain and
Ireland, leaving him subject to no spiritual authority
whatever, save that proceeding directly from the Sove-
reign Pontiff."
