it' would supply the country with seamen capable, in periods
of emergency, of immediately manning 20 sail of the line";
the duty of protecting the revenue in such a case being tem-
porarily cut upon the militia, who might have a few Coast-
guardmen to direct them. Important, however, as was the
formation of proper reserves, it was as nothing in compari-
son with the maintenance of a standing fleet of well manned
aad well-officered ships, which would constitute the nucleus
of a larger fleet in the event of war. He trusted, therefore,
that the public would be contented to pay such an amount
of money as would insure for the service of the State a
powerful Channel and Mediterranean fleet. With a
permanent peace establishment of not less than 60,000
seamen and marines, together with the reserve which,
they might now hope to possess, he believed the coun-
try might be regarded as reasonably safe. It was most
important for the British sailor to remember that if
he did net wish to ass the press-gang at work, he
must enter these reserves ; for the country must be de-
fended at any hazard. Their lordships must unite with
classes in defending it, as they were bound to do ; and they
must be ready to share the hardships and dangers to which
they subjected the people. The seaman who did not wish
to be impressed must voluntarily undertake the duties
which the State now asked him to perform upon terms easy
in themselves and highly lucrative. The retaining fee and
pension offered to naval volunteers were great advantages
to hold out to men to defend their wives, their children, and
their home.

TIE CALOUTTA AND CHINA MAILS.

The screw steamer Pera, Capt. Thomas Jamieson,
arrived at Southampton yesterday at 5 p.m., bring-
ing the heavy portion of the mails from China and
the East Indies. She brought 165 passengers. On
freight she had £6OO in specie, 1,536 bales of silk,
100 bales of flax, four bags of coffee, and 150 pack-
ages of miscellaneous merchandise.
The Pera sailed from Alexandria on the 18th ult.,
Malta the 21st, and Gibraltar the 26th. On the
homeward voyage she experienced strong north-
westerly breezes between Alexandria and Gibraltar,
thence to Southampton variable winds and fine
weather.

Coming home the Pera spoke on the lath ult., in
lat. 33 9 N., long. 25 50 E., the steamship Atlantic,
steering S.E. ; 24th lat. 36 50, long. 0 30, the
Euphrates, steering E. ; 25th, lat. 36 39, long. 2
IV., the American ship Martha, steering S., and the
brig Mary Young, steering E.; 26th, going into
Gibraltar, the steamship Hecla ; off Portland yes-
terday, the ship Wings of the Wind.
Admiral Mundy's fleet, consisting of the Hanni-
bal, Renown, James Watt, Agamemnon, Scylla,
London, and Assurance, were at Malta on the 21st.
Her Majesty's ships Victor Emmanuel and Amphion
left Malta for Corfu on the 21st, and the Orion, for
Plymouth, on the same day.
At Gibraltar, bn the 26th, were her Majesty's
ship Scourge, Lapwing, and Quail.
Off Algesiras was the French squadron, consisting
of five ships of the line.
Advices from Gibraltar by this arrival are only
three days later than those received by the Euxine,
and there is consequently very little news. The
Chronicle of the 24th says :
" The late arrivals from the coast of Barbary
present no new feature of interest. Tranquillity
prevailed at the different ports, and trade began to
revive. Several of the Europeans who, on account
of the war with Spain, had left their homes, had
returned and taken up their former abodes, which
have been protected by the Moorish Government
during their absence. The export of wools was
becoming general."

MURDEROUS ATTACK ON A MAIL
DRIVE_R.

Considerable sensation was caused in Rochford,
and also in Rayleigh, on the morning of Thursday
last, the 25th ult., from its being stated that Mr.
Chapman, the landlord of the King's Head Inn, and
contractor of the mail, had been fired at on his re-
turn journey from Ingatestone. It appears that on
the mail cart reaching Rayleigh about half-past one
in the morning, it being very dark, in a narrow
part of the road, near Mr. Grout's farm, a gun was
fired from a field by the road side, and the horse at
the same moment suddenly stopped, turned round
and backed into the ditch, when a second discharge
from a gun was fired, apparently close t 3 the driver.
Mr. Chapman jumped out to the horse's head, when
the animal immediately sprang forward, drew the
cart out of the ditch, and started. Mr. C. was for-
tunately enabled to get in again and proceed on his
journey, and reported the matter to the police at
Rayleigh. On arriving at Rochford he delivered
his bags, and met Mr. Akers, inspector of police of
that town, in the street. Mr. Akers immediately
drove to the spot, accompanied by Mr. Chapman.
On arriving there, they found two waggon ropes,
or a rope tied twice, one part of which was broken,
and the other on the ground, suspended to elm trees
on each side of the road. Mr. Akers took pos-
session of it; and also found some brown paper
wadding from a gun. Suspecting a party at
Rayleigh, Inspector Akers proceeded there,
and took possession of the man's shoes,
which, on comparing them afterwards in
a field next the spot, were found to cor-
respond with the footprints. The man's name
is John Philbrook, who was formerly driver of the
mail, but was discharged some time ago by Mr.
Chapman. He has been apprehended. The police
Cotained a clue to a gun having been lent to a
young man, William Britton, a carrier, who lives
with his mother, at Rayleigh. They searched her
premises on Saturday, when a gun was found con-
cealed in an out-house, under some hay and straw,
awl on searching further a powder-flask was found.
The ramrod of the gun was a home-made one, and
on comparing the end of the same with the wad-
ding, it fitted exactly. This man has also been ap-
prehended. On examining the cart, on the side of
the panel, just under where Mr. Chapman sat,
there was found a considerable quantity of shot,
some of which passed through the cart and lodged
in the opposite
.side. The horse Mr. Chapman was
driving was a very fast one, travelling at the rate
of 12 miles an hour; from the impetus caused by
the speed at which it was going, and from the
collar striking one of the ropes, it broke it. The
prisoners were taken before the Rev. W. Twyne,
at Rayleigh, and remanded till to-day (Tuesday).
The post-office authorities despatched Sergeant
Robinson, a detective officer, from Scotland-yard, to
assist Sergeant Akers. It is very seldom Mr.
Chapman drives himself, and this renders it evi-
dent that the attack was planned.—. Essex Herald.

STATE OF TRADE.

I.—The woollen cloth markets, in
both and coloured hall, have been of a
will
ls probablye pd laonly
improve,
t LEEDS,
Dray
quiet, but steady character to-day. The attend-
ance of buyers was but moderate, and they pur-
chased
in small quantitiescloths. The demand' chiefly of service-
ablefor fancies, which
as the weather is now very
fine and promising, is rather flat. There is a little
slackness among some of the manufacturers, orders
not having come in so freely as they did a few
months ago. Some of the finishers and dressers,
too, complain of being slack. Wools are without
quotable alteration in price, but the tendency is, if
anything, slightly downwards.
NIANCIIESTER,• May I.—The market continues
active so far as yarns are concerned, and a good
deal of business has been done for nearly all mar-
kets except that of Calcutta, for which the demand
is rather flat. Most kinds of mule twig have been
in request for Bombay, and a rather active demand
has been experienced for Germany and the Medi-
terranean. Home-trade buyers also operate with
moderate freedom. The result is that most kinds
of yarn are a shade dearer—in some cases fully
d. per lb. over the rates of this day week. Some
moderate sales of water twist are reported from
China. In cloths these has been a good business in
the fabrics suited to India, and prices are very
firm ; where there is any change in quotations it is
in favour of sellers. Printing cloths are quieter,
and there has been rather more doing in the
heavier fabrics in this class suited to borne trade.
Cloths suited to the South American markets have
also been in rather better demand.

STATIONMASTER ABSCONDING WITII £220.
On Thursday evening, the superior officers of the Oxford,
'orcester, and Wolverhampton Railway discovered that
that company had been defrauded of money to that amount,
by the dishonesty of their agent at the Round Oak
Station, named Thomas Wooliven. Wooliven is a man of
some 36 or 40 years of age, and has been some time in the
service of the company, being hitherto considered an honest
and trustworthy man. His duties comprised the superin •
tending of both the passenger and goods department of the
above-named station, including the collecting and receiving
of the moneys. Large sums of money would sometimes
come into his possession as agent to the company. On
Tuesday evening he absented himself from his duties, and
on Thursday evening it was discovered that he had col-
lected £220 for which he had not accounted. Woollven
has a wife and family. Ile is supposed to have left the
country.

APPOINTMENTS IN IRELAND.

Mr. CONNOLLY gave notice of a motion relative to re-
cent appointments in Ireland made by the Lord Lieutenant,
particularly that of Mr. Lyle.
CANAL COMPANIES.

Mr. BEAMISII asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether it was intended to renew the Act of 1858,
restraining canal companies being also railway companies
from leasing canals ?
Mr. M. GIBSON answered in the affirmative.
BERWICK ELECTION.

Members were appointed to confer with the Lords in
order to agree with them in a joint address to the Crown to
issue a commission in regard to the election proceedings at

Berwick.
After a considerable delay the hon. members returned
and

_Mr. F. PEEL announced that the address agreed to by
the house had been delivered to their lordships for their
consideration.

JAPAN.

On the motion that the house at its rising should adjourn
till Monday,
Mr. COCHRANE asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs what steps had been taken by her Majesty's
Government to protect our commercial interests in Japan.
He contended that our policy in regard to the Japanese
was very injudicious, and that we had fallen into
the same error that we had done in respect
to China. The proper course would have been to have ap-
pointed a resident minister et Japan. At present affairs
were in a most unsatisfactory and critical condition, and
Mr. Alcock had stated that sinister rumours were
afloat that a general massacre of foreigners was
contemplated in Japan. While this country was
endeavouring to cultivate friendly relations with the
Japanese, that people had despatched a vessel to the
United States, offering to the people of that country
all the facilities for commercial intercourse which
we desire. This state of things, in his opinion,
was pi oduced from ignorance on our part as to the
mode in which we should deal with the Japanese. It was
desirable that we should strictly adhere to treaties, and act
towards the people in question as if they were civilised
beings, and not savages.

light in connection with Buccaneer and the Two Thousand.
Lord Portsmouth is in possession of information to connect

his lordship hopes to be able to bring sufficient home to the
parties implicated for a Jockey Club, if not a legal, inves-

A MESSAGE FROM THE JUDGE.

Upon a case being called on, plaintiff, not being present,
defendant's attorney proceeded down stairs to pay the fees,
the case being struck out. The matter again came before.
the court upon the application•of plaintiff's attorney.
His Honour (to defendant's solicitor)_l thought you
were going to pay the fees to get your costs ?
Attorney—So I did ; but after I had paid them, plaintiff
came to the desk, and said he had your authority to pay the
fees, and so mine were returned.
His Honour—My authority 1 That was a'most unwar-
rantable liberty.. Ho had no such message from me.
Plaintiff's attorney—l suppose we can go on now.
His Honour—Certainly not. The case is struck out, and
defendant will pay the fees and get his costs.
Attorney—l think that is very hard.
His Honour—l'll trouble you to keep your thoughts to
yourself.
The parties then retired.

The failures announced on Thursday from Mel-
bourne are serious, each of the three firms being of old
standing, with extensive transactions. The house of W.
M. Bell and Co. had been established more than 20 years.
They were general merchants, and also acted as agents for
influential firms on this side. The senior partner was for-
merly local director of the Bank of Australasia, but retired
some little time back. Messrs. Rae, Dickson, and Co. were
large soap manufacturers, and were at one time supposed
to be extremely wealthy. ' Messrs. Henriques Brothers,
and Tickle carried on a heavy import trade, and in some
quarters enjoyed considerable credit. In relation to the
failure of this firm, the following has been received :
" Sir,—ln reference to the retorted failure of Henriques
Brothers, of Melbourne, we have to state that that firm is
in no way connected with us, nor has it ever been. e
have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servants,
