She sailed from Spithead on the 20,h of June last,
and arrived out in eighty-six days; she sailed again
from Calcutta on the 3d of last January, and per-
formed her homeward bound voyage in seventy-
. seven days, an instance of expedition, we believe,
unprecedented. His Majesty's st 4 :Medusa, eight
or ten years ego, performed her voyage out to Cd-
cl:tza in eighty-six days, and
-which was then the
quickest passage on record. The Lady Flora, how-
ever, performed it on her pastre home in nine days
less. , Indcptriz.'ently of this the Medusa went direct
to Calcutta, while the Lady Flora called at Madras
on both voyage{, out and home. This fact hears
testimony to the judgment and skill of Ciptain Ford.

the effects of a disease contracted at that ill-fated
and deadly Island, whence he returned to this coun-
try in company With the Landers, the noted African
travellers. if we wanted further proofs, than these
we have already at various times given, of the deadly
effects of the climate of Fernando Po, we need only
add to the above melancholy announcement, that
four of Lieu'. Stockwell's children died in that
island within the space of three months !
We understand that the discharge on superannua-

his Majesty's Dock-yards.
The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have
ordered an increase of twenty privates to be made to
each of the two companies of Royal Marine Artil-
lery ; a preference to be given to such volunteers
as originally belonged to that corps.

COLLIERY DISTURBANCES
NORTH.

N TIIE

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Newcastle, Saturday, April 21, 1832.
You are aware that the coal-owners and their
servants the colliers are at variance. About half of

the men have been re-engaged for another year; the
rest, amounting to from 8,000 to 9,000 men are

unemployed. Several of the coal-owners not being
able to come to terms with the regular pitmen,have
hired lead miners from Alston and the neighbour-
hood in their stead. The consequence must be se-
rious. The poor lead miner from earning seven
shillings a week to support himself and his family is
thus enabled to obtain from fifteen to twenty shil-
lings a week, while the pitman is, from a state of
comfort, reduced to poverty and rendered an outcast.
The coal-owners have a number of small cottages
near their coal mines which are occupied by their
wo:kuieu ilc a nominal rent or rent tree. These,
by their bonds, they agree to quit fourteen days after
their engagement ceases. It ceased cn the .sth of
April, and such of the men as had not been re-
engaged were of course under obligation to leave
their houses on Thursday last, the 19th. The
owners of Helton colliery, who employ an immense
number of men, apprehending that their pitmen
would not quit the houses in order to make way
for lead miners, have obtained from the Home De-
partment a party of the London police. They have
trained a number of men to act under them. They
proceeded this morning to eject about thirty haul-
lies from their cottage,. The people had been led
to expect this, and made no resistance. On
Monday morning they intend to eject the re-
mainder, to the extent of not less, I should
suppose, than five hundred families. The
owners of Jarrow Colliery will follow the
example. A party of soldiers are stationed at this
moment at Jarrow, in order to support the con-
stables, if they should not be able to eject the pit-
men from the houses without assistance, This is a
lamentable state of things. The pitmen have terms
offered to them by which they may earn from fifteen
to twenty shillings per week ; one half of them are
dissatisfied, and expect they will be supported by
the other half, who are at work till the owners can
no longer do without them, and are forced to give
them whatever they demand. They rely on their
union and their numbers to effect their own terms.
Should such a system of intimidation succeed with
the colliers, it is impossible to say where it will end.
