BLOCKADE OF RUSSIAN POSTS.—SOMS anxiety prevails
among the shipping interest on the question whether
vessels will be allowed to clear for Russian ports before
the ratifications of the treaty of peace, or are to be sub-
jected to the blockade up to that time. At present the
Custom-house will not pass them, but a large number
have recently been chartered and despatched to Constan-
tinople on the condition that, if the blockade should not
have ceased within a specified number of days after their
arrival at that city, the contraot is to be void. Some
notice from the Governmeat on the subject is daily
looked for, and, meanwhile, several ships have been put
en the berth for Russian ports, at Hall, London, and
elsewhere. According to the last accounts from St.
Petersburg, large transactions were being entered into
for the early shipment of tallow, seed, hemp, flax, &o.
In the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff the stocks of
wheat available up to the next harvest are thought not
to exceed 1,000,000 quarters, and exports will likewise
be obstructed by the necessity for reorganising all the
erdinary means of transport. The Russian prohibition
against the export of grain is also still in force. This is
expected, however, to be immediately rescinded, and, if
existing prices in England should be maintained, it is
probable they will have the usual effect of demonstrating
that the extent of the supplies and of the means for get-
ting them off have is some degree been underrated.

By way of Batavia, where the barque Cossack had
arrived from Victoria, some copies of the Melbourne
Argus have been received to the 7th January.
The mining and commercial news from Melbourne
were, on the whole, satisfactory. Trade was dull,
as usual at this season of the year, and very few
of the diggers had quitted the mining districts for
Melbourne, as customary at Christmas. News from
Ballarat states that mining operations were some-
what slack, and the miners were enjoying the fes-
tivities of the season. Disturbances between the
miners and Chinese were still of frequent occur-
rencei the Europeans being the principal aggressors.
Great preparations were made at the diggings for
new year's rejoicings, which were interrupted by
news,of the death of Sir Charles Hothain, and the
rejoicings were everywhere postponed.
-At Melbourne gold remained quiet at 3/. 18s. per
ounce. On January 5, H.M.S.' Fantome sailed
for England vict Sydney. The price of wool bad a
downward tendency ; 170. was realised on one
large fleck, which, at the beginning of December,
would have commanded a penny more: Tallow,
good 'mixed, was sold at auction at 39/. 55.; very
superior mutton tallOw at 42/. A large
.parcel of
hides was sold. on January 6, at 13s. 6d. • Agricul-
tural labourers were iu great demand, as also female
servants for the diggings.
The Red Jacket was to leave Melbourne for Eng-
land on January 8.
The death of Sir Chas. Rotham, K.C.8., Gover-
nor of Victoria, took place-suddenly at Melbourne
on the 31st December. The remains of his Excel-
lency were interred on January 4, marked by the
most public regret, all the shops being closed out
of respect for the departed governor.
The temporary government of Victoria is in the
hands of General Macarthur, commanding the mi-
litary.
Accounts from Sydney have been received to the
6th Jan. The news is of minor interest. Mr. Mil-
ford has been appointed fourth judge of the Su-
preme Court, aid is succeeded by Mr. Carey as
Master in Equity, Mr. Purefroy becoming Chief
Commissioner of Insolvent Estates, and the Dire-
ctor of Intestate Estates. Sir Alfred Stephens, the
Chief Justice, was about to proceed on a visit to
Melbourne. Me. Merewether, the Colonial Trea-
surer, had proceeded to Van Diemen's Laud for
the benefit of his health. The news of the fall of
Sebastopol had been celebrated in grand style. Sir
Wm. Denison is journeying westward, and will
probably go to the southern diggings before return-
ing to Sydney.

THE LOSS OF THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER

SOIIOMBERG.

The loss of the royal mail ship Schomberg within
about 30 Miles of Port Philip Heads, on ler out-
ward passage, has caused the utmost excitement in
the colony, and the peculiar and aggravating cir-
cumstances connected with the disaster have been
notified by the passengers in an "indignation"
Meeting held at Melbourne.
. From the Argus of Jan. lit appears that the mat-
ter was to be taken up by Government. The emi-
gration agent was about to lay information at the
instance of the passengers. The wreck of the Schom-
berg has been visited by Lloyd's agent; she was not
totally broken up, but there way no opportunity of
communicating with the wreck—it was not ex-
pected that anything would be saved.
On the 3d Jan. the passengers by the Schomberg
convened a public meedug at the Mechanics' Insti-
tution, Mr. G. Hawker in the chair, who explained
that the object of the meeting was to investigate
the cause of the wreck, and to reclaim the baggage
of the passengers. Ttie gross immoralities com-
mitted on board, and the utter carelessness of Cap-
tain Forbes and his officers, may be gathered from
the statements of the passengers and the resolu-
tions carried at the meeting, as given in the Argus
of the 4th January.
Mr. Melville proposed the first resolution. He said
he was one of the unfortunate passengers by the Schom-
berg. He had been requested to atte,d, and he had ac-
cordingly done so, and begged to propose the first reso-
lution, which was as follows Rekilved—That the
conduct of the captain, the. surgeon, and officers of the
Schoenberg was ungentlemanly, discourteous, and tyran-
nical, and grossly immoral." He might say, in refer-
ence to the ungentlemanly, crsuourteoue, and tyrannical
conduct of the captain, that there could be no doubt of
it ; but he must add that there were some exceptions
amongst the officers—although he thought it would be
better not then to specify them. He had suffered con-
siderably
from the conduct of the captain, for when be
started he bad 2,000/. in his pocket, and he had then
only 5001., and had it not been that he carried the latter
sum about his person, he should, beyond all doubt, have
landed in Melbourne a beggar.
Mr. Norris cordially agreed with the resolution. The
conduct of all the officers was bal, and he understood
that a proper investigation would at once be instituted.
(Hear.) He hoped that it would bo so.
Mr. Fern said that after the resolution which had been
proposed he did expect that some information would be
given—that some specific charge would have been made
to substantiate the sweeping assertions it contained. He
must say that it was un Engliels and unfair t ) make
such charges without bringing forward something to
support them. As far as they h;td gone, not one word
of the resolution was proved. He stood there not as a
friend of Captain Forbes, but as a friend of fair play,
and it would, in his opinion, be a disgrace to the meet-
ing and its chairman to pass this resolution unless better
grounds for it were shown. Mr. Melville shou'd have
cited some instance of the tyranny or immorality of
Captain Forbes to support a resolution of this attire,
and until some such case were brought forward he for
one should hold up his hand against the resolution.
Mr. Gotkin would give one instance of the tyranny
and discourteousness of the captain, and that was to-
wards Mr. Melville. The captain entered Mr. Melville's
cabin, and the latter gentleman complained that he was
kept short of provisions—in fact, half starved, and that
the provisions were of a quality nst fit for a dog. To
this the captain replied that they were a set of dirty
dogs, and what they had was good enough. (Hisses )
M.. Greeve, jun., said that the partition sep rra:ing
the first and second intermediate classes bad been re-
moved in spite of the petition to the contrary of the se-
cond class passengers, who, in consequence of its re-
moval, suffered considerable annoyance.
Mr. Carpenter said that, as anoisber instance of the
tyranny of the captain, he might state that he had taken
two unfortunate Irishmen out of their berths in the night,
and confirmed them in the wheel-house until four or five
o'clock in the morning. He called them, at the same
time, "a -- Irish crew and set of rebels," and said
that he would be down on theta."

Ar. Stark said that another instance of tyranny on
the part of the captain was when one of the passengers
brought forward some provisions to complain of their
being short in weight. The captain, instead of hearing
him, only told him to go forward to his c ►bin. The
passenger remonstrated, and the captain shaved him
violently forward, and :aid, " Go down to your cabin,
or I will kick you down." Was that tyrannical conduct
or not ? (Hear.)

Mr. Stockdale said that he, too, could add something
to support the resolution. That the conduct of the cap-
tain and his officers had been immoral no one on board
of the ship had the slightest doubt. There were two
"lady" passengers on board in the second cabin, one of
them belonging to his (Mr. Stockdale's) mess, ifo. 8.
These females were kept out of their cabins by the cap-
tain and his officers until very unseasonable hours. The
first occasion on which any dispute arose on the matter
was when one of these ladies was kept in the captain's
cabin until 1 o'clock in the morning. The second lady
preferred the daylight, for she came back at 4 in the
morning, and then only in her night dress. (" !" and
"Shame.") The door of her cabin, however, was shut
against her, and she did not obtain entrance until an ex-
posure of her conduct had been made. If this was the
conduct of those having under their charge the lives of
it washundreds
decent of p aesrs epnrgo
proper,
heo r wouldwh et
hask
r, anyif t one
present if
male, or even a male relative, coming out to the colonies,
they would allow them to come on board a ship with
which Captain Forbes had anything to do The mess
to which he belonged,Ne. 8, passed a resolution requests
ing the lady he had referred to to withdraw, as there
were other ladies in it, and the result was that the next
morning the captain came down, in a bullying manner,
blackguarding them, and threatening them with irons;
and when they attempted to justify their conduct, he re-
plied that he would not believe the word of any man at
the table. (Shame.) Mr. Gotkin spoke to him in very
moderate terms, and was told that if he said another
word he should be pat in irons instanter. He was in-
formed in reply that if be dared to carry out such a
threat he would on his arrival find the colony too hot to
hold him. Their provisions were not of the quality, nor
in the quantities, they were led to expect, nor hai their
contracts been fulfilled. They were aware that by the
act of Parliament they were allowed three quarts of fresh
water per diem, over and above that required for cook-
ing. During the first part of the voyage they had never
received more than two quarts, and latterly not more
than a quart and a half, hardly more than enough to
wash with. The quality of the water, which was had at
first, became better, and soon afterwards they got some
filters. Further on in the passage the allowance of sugar
was stopped for nearly a week, and when they remon
strated, instead of sugar they got molasses, although not
a word about molasses was said in the dietary scale.
They refused the molasses, and were then put on half-
rations of moist sugar, of a quality that he felt assured
no one in that room would use. It was apparently the
sweepings of loaf and moist sugar, and was more dirt
than anything else. A. number of the passengers went
to the purser and asked him to change it. He said this
be could not 'do it,- that"the sugar -had been given (silt'
by order of the captain. He (Mr. Stockdale) mid
',that ii: Was Wont ougontloaaaly to offer them ouch auger

Mr. Charles said that Miss 124 a similar indut-
gence allowed to bee. She waithe doctor's lady. Her
luggage was taken away with thelitil bags.
The questien was then PO 41teseteelteeL•neesii, and the
amendment declared io hecartiedi=l- • • - -
•
;Mr. Gotkin moved the second resolution :—" Re-
solved, That it is not only the general impression of the
passengers by the Schomberg, but to the certain know-
ledge of many of those here assembled, that the loss of
that fine ship can only be attributed to the gross negli-
gence of the captain." The vessel at the commence-
ment of the voyage had borne very rough weather, and
had behaved well. When the intelligence was brought
to the captain that the vessel was nearing the shores
why did be not come up ? No, he indulged too much in
his own p!ervures to care fur the safety of his passengers.
He did not wish to say much againit the captain, how-
ever, for they had been at variance on board the ship,
but he felt that the public at large should be satisfied.
When the captain was made aware of the dangerous posi-
tion of the ship he did certainly come up, and told the
crew to put the ship in stays. His orders were obeyed,
and one of the officers told him soon afterwards of the
vessel, and he replied, " Let her go to h—l, and tell me
when she is on the beach." If such were the words he
used, was it not deign rather than negligen-e which
cast her ashore ? It might be asked why was he at
variance with the captain. It was because he (Mr.
Gotkin) would not sauctien his immoral conduct. He
had, however, done much to screen him. When the
cabin-door was locked, and the woman came down at
half-past four in the morning, he had endeavoured to
break the lock of the door for her, but failed in the at-
tempt. (Great laughter.) He had been abused by the
person who had locked the door, and he stated to the
captain what had happened, and he seemed satisfied
with the way in which he acted. When the captain was
informed by the third officer that, the ship was approach.
ing the shore, land had been seen at least an hour, if not
more. The captain, who was in his cabin, however,
told him to get out of tha-, and not be bothering him.
Mr. Btockdale fully coincided with the resolution. He
was of opinion that the conduct of the captain from the
outset had been reckless in the extreme. The first time
he had cause to find fault with him was when they
sighted an iceberg in the Southern Ocean, when the cap-
tain ran the vessel so close that in his (Mr. Stockdale's)
opinion the keel roust have gone over a portion of it.
Oa another occa,ion, on meeting with another vessel, he,
without any specific purpose, rail so close that he carried
away the signal haul yards. (" Oh," and "Shame.")
He afterwards; male a joke of it. Previous to the ves-
sel stranding he felt greatly alarmed, for the general im-
pression atuunest the passengers was that, they were in
some danger, and even the doctor himself admitted that
it was land they saw. Attempo, were made to awaken
the watch ; and he saw the trees even, and informed the
captain of it, when he came on the forecastle with his
night glass in his band. It was more than ten minutes
after that that any preparation was made to "'bout
ship," and the vessel, when she did strike, went on the
reef in such a manner that it would be almost impossible
to get her off again.
Mr. Johnson, a miriner, said that if the anchor had
been ready to drop when the vessed missed stays she might
have been saved. The chain cage hid been gut up tour
or five d sets before they made the land, but it was never
bent, nor was the anchor raised. The ship might easily
have been saved after she missed stays if the anchor had
been let go.
Mr. Williams said that when the vessel struck be was
on the forecastle. He had been there from 10 o'clock,
and many of the passengers had seen land a-head. He
told a man naine Cavanagh to awaken the watch, who
were asleep. Cavanagh (who was a passenger to Syd-
ney) roared out that there was land a-hea I, and the first
mate, who heard him, said it was only a cloud. He called
out a second time, and they then stopped him. He was
se convinced that the ship would strike, that he ran
down to some friends of his in the second cabin, and told
them to put on their clothes. He said that it was not
his intention to go to bed, and he advised them not to
do so either. He said that, in his opinion, the ship'
would be wilfully run against the beach. This impres-
sion arose from his want of confidence in the captain,
and from his proceedings on the previous evening. Such
was his impression then, and so it remained. The
captain had once tereatened to put him in irons
because he looked at him ; he had uo other ex-
cuse for doing so. He did look at him, and was
not afraid to look at him now, nor was he afraid to state
before him every word he. had just uttered. He was
not a nautical man, and knew waning of navigation, but
he stated his own impressioise freely, and was ready at
any time to assert them, and prove them, it that was of
any use. (Cheery.)
The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously.
Mr. Carpenter moved the third resolution—" 'Diet
this meeting is of opinion that the contracts entered into
between James B 6 net and Co., of Liverpool, and the
passengers
to

even they were sueh as any man on shore would repu-
diate. As to the pork—

A Voice—They killed the pigs after they died. (Great
laughter.)
- - -

Mr. Carpenter—The salt pork was brought to table in
such a state as to be quite disgusting, and even the cap-
taih's special favourites in the s.cond cabin could not
touch it.

Mr. Conolly seconded the resolution.
Mr. Charles said that they were led to believe that
they ►ere to have a bath ruom, but how had that pre-
mise been kept ? The bath-room was turned ►nto a dun-
geon fur a ►na-lwan. Voice--" What male hi►n
ma i ?") He verily believed that he was made mad by
the cruel conduct of the captain and his officers. _

Mr. Wharton said that he agreed with the resolution,
for they had a great cause to complain. Neither the
proper quantity or quality of provisions had been served
out to tuem. For instance, they had fourducks and four
knuckles of ham to mess a number of the passengers,
and frequently the provisions were in such a condition
that several of the passengers left the saloon and went
without dinner, which, however, he could not afford to
do. They ofte❑ had soup that stank, and meat that was
tainted. Alter the strong inducements which the Black
B line ha .I hell out to them, and the way in which
they had been fulfilled, be felt that nothing too severe
could be said against them. As to the provisions, the
water supplied r►as scarcely drinkable ; the Hock and
Moselle ran oat, except a couple of dozen, which the caps
tain retained for his own use ; and the sherry was so bad
that they had once or twice to send it back. As to the
meat, it was always " porki pork, pork." They had, in
short, an infamous steward, and a blackguard cock—
two very great evils on board a vessel. (Laughter.)
Mr. Keleon would add to what Mr. Wharton had said
that during the latter part of the voyage they had been
fed o❑ pork, although plenty of poultry remained. He
would also remark that the chief steward on board the
Schoenberg was a ntan who had been disgraced and dis-
missed from the James Baines. _ _

The resolution was then put and carried.
Mr. Stockdale moved the fourth resolution—" That a
deputation be appointed to wait on his Excellency the
officer administering the Government, Praying that an
investigation be held into the circumstances attending
the loss of the Schomberg, and the property of the pas-
sengers."
Mr. Belson seconded this resolution, which was car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. Miller moved—" That a vote of thanks be given
to Capt. Doran, of the steam-ship the Queen, for his
ready exertions to rescue the passengers ; and also to
the passengers on board for their readiness to submit to
inconvenience, to enable the passengers of the Schom-
berg to be forwarded to Melbourne."
This was seconded by Mr. &dam, and carried.
Dr. Milton moved a vote of thanks to the passengers
of the Schomberg who had taken the necessary steps to
bring this matter fully before the public.
Mr. M`Gregor seconded this resolution, which was
supported by Mr. Porter, and also carried.
A deputation was then appointed; and a vote of thanks
to the chairman terminated the proceedings.

-AutoOr Norris, of London,, al trustee for the bank.
-He has denied' to me, -by hirleffers nris`iery recent-
date, that he held that :moi tgage as trustee.
Are yeu ,able to give a list of the properties pur-
chasd by the late Mr. Fa Heir in the Encumbered Es-
tates Court ?-r-Yes, I Can give you it.
Are you able to state how be disposed of them ?—I
am. He sold the greater portion of them; and he also
assigned a portion to the London and County Bank.
Mr. Lawless—We shall require all the particulars of
these properties. To your knowledge, did Mr. Sadleir
ever make, or agree to make, any assignment of those
properties in favour of the Tipperary Bauk ?
Witness—He did. Ae well as I remember, the date
was March, '55... I Was not present at it, but Mr.
Keatinge came over to Ireland with a letter from Mr.
Sadleir, which I saw. I have not got that letter; Mr.
Keatinge, I presume, has it.
Master—Were any of the,purchases made with a view
of giving any s,cu.tity to toe Tipperary Bsnk ?
Witnrss—Thty were not made fur that purpose, to
my knowledge.
Mr. LaWless—Are you acquainted with the persmal
property of Mr. 3adleir ?—No, not. intimately ; I heard
he p.ssessed a great ma.iy shares in the Sw as, Swedish,
and Riwan railways, and 'patters of that kind.
Master—Will you be able to let us know the arrears
of rent due for those properties up to the time of his
death ?

Witness—Yes, certainly ; but it will take some time.
We can give you the particulars of all the estates that he
purchased 'in Ireland up to the day previous to his
death ; there were twenty assignments of them to the
London and County Batik. Idon't think we have copies
of those assignments; I knew nothing about it until the
deeds were sent to be registered. Some of them were
not registered at first on account of the stamps not being
sufficient for the practice in this country, and besides
there was no consideration money stated. Registry
being refused here they were taken back to Loudon.
They were returned with some form of certificate from
Somerset House, and then they were registered.
Master—Was there not a mortgage of some part of
the Kingston property, of plate, furniture, and other
matte's in Lord Kingston's house
Witness—Yes, there was ; I cannot tell from memory
when it was executed ; I don't know where the original is.
Mr. Kennedy (to Mr. Lawless)—l think there were
three purchases of property in the Encumbered Estates
Court- made by Mr. James Sadleir. Two of these were in
his own name, ant one was in the name of a third party ;
the first was the house quarter of Coolnamuck, about
Augut, 1852, fur 8,500/. ; that was made by himself
and in his own name, and the purchase•deed was exe-
cuted. He has since been in possession of it. I could
not state the rental. The greattr part of that property
is hi his own hands. He has a steward named Rafferty.
The next of these properties that he purchased was a
small portion of White's estate. I don't know the name
of toe nds in the county of lipperary. The sale was
made In re Matilda White." The purchase money
was 8001. He is now in possession of this property, the
conveyance of which was executed to himself. The
other property is cattail Kilconnell, near Cashel, and the
Purchase money was 5,3001. The eon veyenee was exe-
cuted to a Mr. Farmery J. Law, of London. I do not
know how it happened that the conveyance wa,s exe-
cuted to Nir. Law,

Mr. Lawless.—Have you the means of ascertaining
from what source Mr. James Sadleir procured the per-
°base money of those three estates ?
Witness.—l have not the slightest idea.
Examination continued.—At present it would be hard
to tell the rental of the Kilconnell estate ; I think it is
over 8001. a-year, subject to a sort of rent-charge of 1841.
We have a rentAl of it ; I think we have printed rentals
of the other two estates, and we can furnish all. In the
last- nentioned property the tenancies have been charged
since the Fate. Mr. James Sadleir has been in the re-
ceipt of tie rents of the Kilconnell estate. Mr. Law
never went into possession of it.
Master.--Do you know if Mr. Sadleir has any one in
charge of the unoccupied portisn of it ?
Witriess.—Mr. Byrne, of Blackrock, is the agent over
it, and he has a steward there. I appointed Mr. Byrne
agent on the part of Mr. James Sadleir. Mr. Law's
name was used in the appointment of the agent, but
practically and beneficially he was appointed for Mr.
James Sadleir.

Mr. Lawless.—lt was not Mr. Law who paid the
purchase ❑coney.
Witnei,.—N,), the money was Mr. Sadleir's.
Mater.—When you were asked whether Mr, Law was
aware of the ma! ter or not, you said emphatically, "He
is nose."

WA less—l did not at the moment remember that I
had rectived a letter from him in connection wit's the
estate previous to the taking "out of the conveyance. I
believe that when the estate was purchased he did not
know it was in his name. Within the last fortnight an
assignment of the property to Mr. James Sadleir has
been prepared and sent over to Mr. Law for his signa-
ture. I understand Mr. Jas. Sadleir has another estate
in Tipperary, called Ballynalode, which he had previous
to his marriage. I believe it is settled. According to the
English practice, where property is settled there is one
deed for the lady and another for the gentleman, and I
te a counterpart of Mr. Sadleir's deed. I believe he
got 10,0001. with Mrs. Sadleir. It was veAsd in trus-
tees. I don't remember the terms of the settlement.
Master—As far as I could understand the settlement,

it gives her ti life use ith remainder to Mr. Sadleir in
ca,e he shall survive her, and in default of survivorship,
and in the event of there being. no children, the property
goes back to Mrs. Sadleir's rektives, and his own pro-
perty is disposed of in a similar manner.
Mr. Lawless—There is personal property, consisting
of furniture, &c., comprised in some of the deeds. Is it
still at Mitchelstown ?
Witness --It is.
Mr. MeldGn—With the exception of some at a silver-
smith's in London.

Mr. Lawless—Has any portion of that been disposed
of by the mortgagees?
Mr. Meldon—lt was removed by Lord Kingston pri-
vately, and afterwards was stopped by an injunction at
the suit of Lord Lorton.

Mr. Morrogh was then sworn and examined by Mr.
Lawless as follows :—The date of the mortgage of Lord
Glengall's property is April, 1847 ; it was made by Lord
Glengal! to Mr. A. Norris, the amount being 10,500/. ;
there are no trusts declared on the face of the deed.
Mr. Lawless- Was it intended as a trust for any per-
sees or any company !
Witness—l have no means of stating, but my general
impression is that the rsaney was the property of the
Tipperary Bank. There has net been any payment of
interest on that mortgage since, but the ultimate pay-
ment of the amount is secure, fur the charges on the fee
have been met by the sale of a sufficient portion of the
lands in the Encumbered Estates Court.

Master—Had Mr. Norris any other securities of Lord
Glengall

Witness—lle had, I think, previous to the date of the
mortgage, but they were all merged in it.
Mr. Lawless—Do you know what they were ?
Witness—They were for money lent to Lord Glen-
gall, and to his agent for him, from time to time, for
years before the murtgage.
Was that money lent by Mr. Norris or by the bank
—lt was the Tipperary Bank that supplied the money.
Was Mr. Norris aware of that ?-11e was aware it was
supplied by John Sadleir, or by the Tipperary Bank ;
the pleadings in the suit of " Norris v. Lord Glengall "
would disclose the extent of Mr. Norris's knowledge of
the circumstances. _

Was any account open in the books of the bank in re-
lation to the Glengall estate I—There has been.
Was it on draughts on that account that the money
was advanced to Lord Glengall ?—Ne ; that account
was flat opened for some time subsequent to the execu-
tion of the securities.
The pleadings in Norris and Glengall state the fact
that the security is claimed by Mr. Norris as trustee ?
A cross bill was filed in 1347 by L rd Glengall, to im-
peach the transaction, on the ground of his having been
overcharged some interest, and he subNequently signed
consent dismissing his bill with costs, and then executed
the security.
Was there any answer by Mr. Norris to that cross
suit ?—Yes.
In connection with the securities held by the Tipper.
ary Bank affecting Lord King.ton's estate there is a
certain number of policies of insurance. Do you know
in whose possession they are ?
Witness—ln 1849 they were taken by the late Mr.
Sadleir to London, as appears by a registry-book of se-
curities kept in our office ; and in March, 1854, he
wrote to state that they were lost, and to inquire as to
getting duplicates of them. I will furnish a list of those
policies.
Master—AA I undoretend yon 3 the money was fore

Mr. Li.,riespi—Did you find any deedi connected with
the affairs of the Tipperary Bank ?
Witness•--No ; cave the deed of partnership, which
has been lodged in the Master's office. I think I found
a manuscript copy of the bank deed, which has been
lodged in the Master's office.

Th 3 examination of Mr. Morrogh here closed.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

We have received advices from the squadron off
Kertch up to the 17th ult., by which we learn that on
27th of February the screw steamers Arrow, Lynx, and
Snake, each mounting four guns, left St. Paul's Straits
for the Sea of Azoff, under the command of Captain A.
P. Ryder, of the Dauntless, in order to reconnoitre the
Arabat Spit. Having vainly endeavoured for two days
to make way through the masses of floating ice, they
were compelled to return to their anchorage, where they
arrived on the Ist of March, without sustaining any da-
mage. A heavy gale of wind set in on the 6th ult. The
Dauntless had two anchors down, with five sbaakles of
cable out on the port bower and two on the starboard
anchor, and was lying alongside the transport ship
In consequence of her close proximity to the
transport the Dauntless was unable to veer cable ; nei-
ther could the former do so without getting aground.
While in this position (a most critical one for both ves-
sels) the Dauntless was observed to be drifting; both sheet
anchors were let go, which fortunately brought her up,
but not until she was across the cables of the trans-
port. her screw propeller could not be put in motion
without incurring the serious risk either of breaking it
or cutting asunder the cables of the other vessel. After
remaining for several hours in this precarious situation,
shortly atter midnight the gale partially subsided, when
both vessels shifted their berths ; otherwise the conse-
quences might have been to both most disastrous. The
Arrow screw-steamer left Kertch or: the evening of the
16th ult. under a flag of truce, with despatches relative
to the armistice for the Russian-General at Kaffa. Gen.
Williams, who was to be exchanged for an officer of
st-
niilar rank, made prisoner at Kr ebourn, was nominated
for the command of the Tureish Contingent. On being
relieved by the Leopard steam-frigate, whose arrival off
Kertch was shortly expected, the Dauntless was to pro
teed to Malta, to undergo a refit
Thera are now assembled at P. r'sinou Is, as an in-ta.
mint of the British Baltic fleet, 16 ships of the line, 7
steam-frigates, 8 steam-sloops, 8 screw despatch-vessels,
and 70 screw gun-boats.
The fleet at Spithead was augmented yesterday by the
arrival of the James Watt, 91, Capt. G. Eliot, C. 8.,
A.D.C., from Plymouth ; the E-k, 21, Capt. Sir R.
I.lPClure, C. 8., from the Nore ; the Heels, 6, paddle-
sloop, Commander Aplin, from Liverpool, with two new
v.un-boats; the Vesuvius, 6, paddle-sloop, Comrnan!er
Here ; the Victor, 6, steam gun•vessel, Commander De
Horsey; and the Magnet and Manly gun-boats,
Rowley and Arthur, all from the eastward ; making the
fleet at Poitsmouth already acw,unt to 16 sail-of-the-line,
7 stun-frigates, 8 steam-sloops, 8 steam gun-vessels,
and 70 steam gun-boats—total 109. Ail the gun-boats
which were exercised the day before were put through
similar evolutions yesterday, and were watched by large
as,etublages of interested spectators.
The Centaur, 6, paddle-frigate, Captain Clifford, C. 8.,
left Spithead last evening for the westward ; and the
Devastation, 6, Commander Marshall; left for the Cape
of Good Hope soon after.

The Magfcienne, 16, paddle-frigate, Capt. Vansittart,
left Spithead yesterday morning for the eastward.
The Resolute steam-transport, No. 214, left Spithead
yesterday morning for the Ea-t, with supernumerary
tnlrines and boys br the fleet, a few cavalry, and about
50 of the British Italian Legion.
The Algiers, 91, Captain Codrington, C.D., got up
steam yesterday at Portsinoutlito try her engines, after
a refit, preparatory to rejoining the fleet at Spithead.
By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Sultan, which arrived at Southampton yesterday
with the Peninsular mails, we receive the following items
of naval and military intelligence from Gibraltar :—The
steam-transport Berwick, which left the Bay on the 6th
ult., with wiules and horses for the Dardanelles, encoun-
tered fearful weather in the Gulf of Lyons, and was
(Alined to put into the pert of Carthagena, where she
arrived on the Bth with the loss of one of the animals.
Tee Berwick walawaiting favourable weather to resume
her voyage. The Great Western, which sailed from
Southampton on the 12th ult., with horses and troops for
the Crimea, arrived at Gibraltar on the 20th after ex-
periencing severe weather. During the night of the 15th
she encountered a severe south-south-westerly gale,
which split and seriously damaged her rudder-head.
Three of the animals on b aid perished, owing to the
severity of the weather. The steam-transport Amity,
eight (lays from London, with Government stores for
Badattkva, arrived out during the night of the 20th,
having also experienced heavy weather, which carried
away her main boom and stove in her cutter. After
coaling and caking in water she sailed for her destina•
tion on the 211 ult. The steam-tran-port Trent arrived
in the Bay on the 21st, with the guns of her Majesty's
floating battery Meteor on board, and the vessel in tow,
on her way to England. The Trent, having taken in
coals, sailed for her destination, taking the battery in
tow, on the 23d, but was obliged to return during the
afternoon of the same day. The sailing-transport Min-
den arrived at Gibraltar from Malta with shot and
shell, which she wou d discharge at Gibraltar, pre-
viously to sailing for England. The I.nperial, with
stores for the East, arrived oat on the 24th ult.
The Government transport Es,-t Anglian, No. 162,
arrived at Woolwich yesterday, laden with barrack
stores from the Tower of Dublin. She is to ship pow-
der from the Arsenal.

Some novel experiments took place in Woolwich-
marshes on Tuesday, which were attended by memberi
of the select committee for the purpose of testing the
efficiency of some explosive shells, the invention of a
Mr. Martin. Tile invention consists of cast-iron shells,
constructed in a peculiar wanner, and filled with liquid
iron. Some specimens were fired and burst with very
good effect, scattering the fragments over a consider-
able space, and settinl fire to the wooden butt and
other buildings which had been erected for the purpose
of the experiment. A second invention, of a similar
kind, was put through certain trials at the same time.
This was the property of of two Frenchmen who have
arrived at Woolwich with the special intention of sub-
jecting their invention to the opinion of the authorities
of the War Department at Woolwich Arsenal. It con-
sisted also of an iron shell filled with some fiercely binn-
ing materials, but which, on undergoing several tests,
turned out a complete failure as far as the present ex-
periments extended.
Lieutenant-Colonel Henry, R.A.., left Woolwich on
Tuesday, for the purpose of proceeding to the Crimea
to join his troop there.
A. considerable transfer of volunteers from Militia
regiments to the Beige train newly arrived at Woolwich
has taken place. The 17 companies have each received
an addition to their ranks of an average number of 60,
making in the aggregate 1,020 men.
The following appointments have been made at the
Admiralty :
Lieutenant W. E. England, to the Surprise ; John
Hothatn, midshipman, to the Duke of Wellington ; li.
B. S. Coble, naval cadet, to the Calcutta ;.I.k,.latiti
Irwin,ne
surgeon (confirmed); Assistant-Surgeon C Ist
Keenan (confirmed) ; F. E. Whalley, master's-assistant,
to the Brunswick ; Joseph H. Manly, clerk, to the
Driver ; W. E. P. Saer, assistant-clerk, to the Euryalus.
The Carlow Rifles and the depot of the 60th Regi-
ment, who have been for the past eight or nine months
quartered in Kilkenny, have received orders to be in
readiness to proceed to Clontnel immediately, there to
relieve the sth Lancashire Militia, who march to Dublin.
The Rifles and the 69th are in daily expectation of re-
ceiving the route, as they are to be
succeeded by the de-
pot of the 58th Regiment.
The depot of the 58th Regiment, under Brevet-Lieut.-
Col. Cyprian Bridge, will immediately move from the
Linen-hall Barracks, Dublin, to Kilkenny, where it will
be joined by the service companies now on passage from
New Zt,aland to Cork. It has been stated that the late
Duke of Wellington was once stationed in Kilkenny with
this regiment, in which he was appointed Captain the
of June, 1791, and from which he was transferred
the 31st Oct., 1792, to the late 15th Light Dragoons.

DEATH OF REAR ADAIRAL SIR WILLIAM

SYIEONDS, KCB.

We regret to hear that Rear.Adtuiral Sir William
Symonds, who will be remembered all over the world as
the late Surveyor of the Navy, and the predecessor of
the present gallant, able, and distinguished occupant of
the office, Capt. Sir B. W. Walker, K.C.8., died on his
passage front Malta to this country.

The following sketch of the gallant deceased's service
is from O'Byrne's " Biography:"—

"This otlichr (whose name had been borne, from 1785
until 1788, on the books of the Solebay and Charon, both
commanded by his father, Capt. Thomas Symonds) ern-
barked, Sept. 27,179 t, as midshipman, on board the Lon•
don, 93, Capte. Lawrence Wm. Halsted, Edwd. Griffith,
