GREENOCK HARBOUR.—On Sabbath last, about
three o'clock,• a most untoward accident happened at the
new harbour, which will have the effect of considerably re-
tarding the completion of these works. At the north-west
corner there has always been a small stream of water escap-
ing into the harbour, passing under the wall of the East
India Quay. The workmen had been engaged for some time
upon the foundation of the harbour wall at this spot; and
the volume of water was observed several days since to be
increasing in size. At three o'clock yesterday it burst in
with a violent irruption, threatening to inundate the whole
of the works. The alarm was given, the men were all in-
stantly .ummoned, and measures were forthwith taken to
check the current. A barge laden with clay was sunk out-
side the East India Quay, where the water obtained ingress,
and about 1,800 bags filled with sand were sunk opposite the
aperture. It will take a long time, however, before the mis-
chief done can be fully retrieved, a circumstance which is
much to be regretted, seeing the harbour was so near its long-
expected completion.—Record.

HAY MARKET THEATRE.

Shaltspere's Julius Casar was performed for the
second time this .season on Saturday night. Mr. Mac-
ready, however, instead of playing Brutus, sustained
the part of Cassius—a character that in former years
was considered one of his best impersonations. Ile gave
the usual evidences of quick, practised ability, and high,
tducated intelligence; and afforded further ground for
'amercing the proposed departure from the stage of an
artist who has for so long a period been esteemed one of
its leading ornaments. Mr. Davenport, upon this cc-
casion, was the Brutus, and Mr. Howe the Marc An-
thony, both acquitting themselves creditcbly. The cus-
tomary appearances took place before the curtain at the
close of the tragedy.

CAPTURE OF A W HALE.—DURPIESS, Nov. 9.
The weather has been for some time very stormy. The
winds have been very high, and the rain has fallen without
intermission. The post which arrived to-day was twenty-
four hours behind the proper time. A whale was Peen on
Wednesday last in Balnakiel Bay, and, after an exciting
contest, it was captured by Mr. Reill's (Balnakiel) men. The
monster was sixty feet long, and the blubber was divided
amongst the inhabitants to supply oil for winter use—lnver-

CARDINAL:"NEVER DID CARDINAL BRING GOOD
TO ENGLAND."—We read in Dr. Lingard's" Hiitory," vol.
iv., p. 527. on the authority of Cavendish, that when the
Cardinals Campeggio and Wolsey adjourned the inquiry into
the legality of Henry VIII.'s marriage with Catharine of
Arragon, " the Duke of Suffolk, striking the table, exclaimed
with vehemence that the 'old saw' was now verified, Never
did Cardinal bring good to England.'" I should be glad to
know if this saying is to be met with elsewhere, and what

The two moat important meetings that have been
yet held on the subject of the Papal aggression were
held on Friday; the one being a county meeting of
the freeholders of Yorkshire, the other a meeting of
the diocese of Oxford ; we make use of the words
"on the subject of the Papal aggression," and we
make use of them advisedly, for while at the glorious
Yorkshire meeting the true principles of Protestantism
were nobly upheld by Earl FITZWILLLJ, and as
nobly responded to by the assembled freeholders, at
the meeting of the clergy of Oxford the language held
by the Bishop and the conduct pursued by him, was
such as to afford the greatest possible encouragement
to the foe without the Protestant camp, and to the
spy and traitor within it. Earl 11

proposing the first resolution at the York ire meet-
ing, put the question upon its proper basis when be
said—

"This is no question—l know it will be so represented
both on the right hand and on the left—both by the
Roman Catholics and some portions of Dissenters—that
this is a question between the Church of .England and
the Church of Rome.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I en-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIB,—I some time since addressed a letter to you,
having reference to a leading article in The Sun, on
the subject of promotion in the navy, more particu-
larly as regarded a reduction of the list of admirals.
That letter you were pleased to term " courteous
and candid," and I trust that no letter of mine will
ever be found otherwise.
In the leading article of The Sun of the 15th inst.
I was sorry to remark some observations by no means
complimentary, on the promotion to rear•admiral of
his Grace the Duke of Northumberland. Taken in
the abstract your arguments are fair enough, but as
regards his Grace, or any other captain in his posi-
tion, you must forgive me for saying they are neither
fair nor liberal. The Duke of Northumberland, like
all captains of his standing, entered the navy in the
" hottest of the war." With the chivalry of his race,
he chose the profession of arms, and became, at a
very early age, a member of that service, then the
darling service of this country, now, alas! cried down
and abu,ed. His Grace passed wirh great credit
through ail the intermediate grades, and at length
was made choice of by Admiral Lord Exmouth as
captain of the ship bearing his flag (the Caledonia),
employed in blockading the enemy's fleet, lying in
the port of Toulon; and this post, rest assured, he
would not have been called upon to fill, had he not
been considered fully equal to the task in the opinion
of one, than whom the ❑avy of England has seldom,
if ever, boasted a superior. His Grace subsequently
served as captain in other quarters of the globe, until
the conclusion of the war. Since that time he has
not served, simply because his services have not been
required. But surely, Mr. Editor, you would not
erase the name of any officer from the list who bad
served you in time of need when no longer required.
Why, then, that of the Duke of Northumberland?
Why is he not to succeed to his flag when it comes to
his turn, after waiting for it for upwards of five-and-
thirty years? The increase of half-pay, if his Grace
receives it, calm"! be an object; but I will answer
for it that he set a proud value on the rank in that
service in which he was reared, and of which, whilst
serving, he was an ornament!
Now, Sir, I am very unwilling to believe that your
remarks are intended to bear hard on the' naval ser-
vice, but they do seem to have that effect. Your
arguments are correct in the abstract, but they are
not just as regards the present state of the Navy
List. If you will allow me, I may, perhaps, address
you at some future time on this subject, and offer
some propositions which, I flatter myself, you will
consider equitable, and to which, I think, you will
not very much object
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

MADAGASCAR.

By the French ship Industrie, arrived at Bourbon
on the Bth September, it was reported that the con-
tract with M. de Lastelle was fully agreed upon. He
is to have authority to export the produce of his
establishments until the 31st of December, in consi-
deration of 15,000 dollars. In consequence of this
arrangement, the Renaissance and Ariel loaded at
Tamatave with bullocks fir Bourbon, and the Indus-
trie Kith rice and other objects.
The Queen is, it is said, disposed to extend this
privileg..: to the trade of the Mauritius and Bourbon
in general, in consideration of a subsidy of 20,000
dollars from each of the colonies. This is a measure
very materially affecting the interests of the colony of
Natal, which has been for some years shipping bul-
locks for the Mauritius.

The French ship Jeanne d'Arc, which brought
mules from Nantes to the Mauritius, had sailed to
Tamatave to load bullocks. The Nautilus and Xanthus
have likewise been freighted to carry bullocks from
Tamatave to the Mauritius.

Notwithstanding these movements, the measure for
opening the Madagascar trade is still in doubt, and
on the 7th September the governor of Bourbon issued
a proclamation declaring that the convention with
M. de Lastelle for the re-opening of the trade with
Madagascar not having been ratified produce from
those points of the coast of Madagascar occupied by
the Slovas, should not be received in that colony until
further orders.

at Dr. Mayo's door, and observed Wilson enter the
dwelling ; he soon afterwards came out and rejoined
Rivers, who was waiting for him a short distance off;
and as witness suspected that there was something
wrong, she intimated her suspicion to a person on
the opposite side of the way, by whom such informa-
tion was given to the police as led to the prisoners'
apprehension.
Mr. Lee, 13, Bayham -street, Camden-town (the
party alluded to by the first witness), gave evidence
corroborative of the latter part of the above statement.
Other evidence was gone into, from which it ap-
peared that the prisoners, after being closely watched
through several streets, were ultimately taken into
custody by Ward, 357 A, and Glide, 153 D. They
were conveyed to the station .house, and in the posses-
sion of Wilson was found a chisel, a taper, some lad-
fers, and a large bag; the other prisoner had upon
him six latch-keys, two of which opened Dr. Mayo's
front-door.

The butler was examined, and he said that, fortu-
nately, nothing had been stolen; the prisoner Wilson,
who 112. d entered, having no doubt been disturbed by
the movements of a dinner party up stairs.
The prisoners, the former of whom was tried at the
Central Criminal Court two years ago for burglary,
and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment, were
remanded till Wednesday next, in order to afford time
for the police to Lake other inquiries respecting them.
Samuel Boddington, the truck-clerk of Pickford
and Co., at their premises of the Camden station of
the London and North-Western Railway, was finally
examined, and committed for trial on three charges of
stealing articles from a crate and other packages.

LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1850.

Among the numerous difficulties embarrassing the
department of the Colonial Secretary, none are more
important in their character than those originated by
our possessions in the North-American continent.
For the diminution of those difficulties we must
continue most solicitous until such ;time as can be
witnessed the revival of a cordial understanding be-
tween those colonies and the mother country. Un-
happily, this friendly feeling between ourselves and
our scattered territories has now, for some conside-
rable period, been dissipated, or, at any rate,
,very ma-
terially injured ; and this, we are bold to say,
entirely from the mismanagement of the central
Government. Not that we attach the blame in any
way exclusively to her MAJESTY'S present advisers,
the ,‘responsibility of all these unfortunate mis-
understandings belonging, more or less, to a long list
of past Administrations. In referring to the miser-
able and anomalous position now occupied by the
British Cabinet towards the great bulk of our de-
pendencies, we are actuated in no manner by an idle
predisposition to rake up old grievances, or to dis-
seminate unnecessarily ideas derogatory to the
intelligence of our statesmen. Our intention
is to direct nubile attention, if possible, to
the consideration of projects calculated to remove I
many of the annoyances referred to, and ultimately, !
if carried out with any degeee of enterprise, to place
the whole system of colonial government upon a solid
and satisfactory foundation.

Conspicuous and, we might almost say, paramount
among these beneficent projects is one affecting the
prosperity and, is some measure, even the very sta-;

BRUSSELS.--The Chambers have concluded the ge-
neral discussion of the budget for foreign affairs, and
proceeded to the debate on the separate articles.
In reply to the interpellation of one of the Mem-
bers as to whether the Belgian Government had taken
any steps with the Netherlands Government for the
abolition of the duty on sugar in both countries ?
the Minister for Foreign Affairs replied that nego-
tiations had been opened ; but that the Netherlands
Government was not fully prepared to enter into the
measure.

GERMANY.

Intelligence has been received from Electoral Hesse
to the 18th. An armistice for eight days has been
conoluded between the Prussian and the Federal
troops. The 7th Prussian Rifles have been advanced
from Buttlar to Geysa, and other villages in the direc-
tion of the Bavarian frontier, and the city of Battler
has been occupied by the 12th (Prussian) Regiment of
Foot. _ _

The Federal troops have sent a 12-pound battery
from Fulda to Marbach, where the 2d division his
its head•quarters. This vanguard and the head-
quarters of their first division are at Hunfeld,
and their outposts and picquets are at Druben and
I3urghaun, at the distance of from six to eight miles
from Hunfeld. The line of demarcation, which ac-
cording to the armistice, separates the two armies,
extends rather more to the north, along Biter-
feld, Rosenkirchen, and . Hasselstein. The head-
quarters of the Prince Taxis are still at Fulda,
and his troops extend about eight miles in the
rear of that city. To the left they lean on the
border of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, and to the
right on the Bavarian frontier, which facilitates their
concentration. They have, moreover, occupied all
the roads and defiles within their reach. On the 16th
and 17th the Austrian troops of the Vorarlberg Corps
had entered Hesse by way of Biickenau,
Schluch-
tern, and Neuhoff, and took their position at Loichen
road in a line with the corps of Prince Thurn and
Taxis.

The German Journal of Frankfort of the 18th
contains the following somewhat contradictory news
from Electoral Hesse :--
" HERSFELD, Nov. 15.—1 t is reported that an order
was received yesterday from Berlin to maintain the mi-
litary ro,ids even by force, and that the Prince of Tour
and Taxis has been informed of it. In consequence the
advanced posts have been strengthened, and a battalion
of the 18th Regiment has been sent to Sieglos, a league
from here, on the road to Hunfeld. There are 3u
Prussian battalions between here and Vacha and
Butt° cv."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES

Intelligence has been received ffom Hamburgh of
the 19th.

General Willisen had made another movement of
his outposts, which, however, only ended in a skir-
mish, in which a few were killed and wounded on
either side.

The Statthalterschaft were firm in their determina-
tion to oppose any intervention of the Bund, and not
a single Prussian, as our correspondent affirms, had
left the Schleswig-Holstein army in obedience to the
decree of the King of Prussia. The number of Prus-
sians serving in the insurgent army was calculated at
between 4,000 and 5,000 men. The Gefion was still
lying under a guard of Prussians in the port of
Lubeck.

The last dispatch of M. von. Radowitz to the
Stathalterschaft, repeating the Prussian suggestion of
a suspension of hostilities, has been published. He
blames the Stathalterschaft for meeting the Prussian
proposal by demanding terms other than those of a
simple military truce, as the settlement of the political
Farts of the question was in the power of the Confe-
deration only, not of Prussia. The Stathalterscbafc's
reply is an assurance that they could go no further in
the way of concession, and reminds Prussia that, as it
denies the authority of the Frankfort Assembly, it is
bound to resist any attempt of that body to interfere
in the Duchies with a military force.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, IV'om 21.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, anti ja,
a Bench of Magistrates.)
The Court sat this day for the disposal of bail cases.
TIME LATE LUNATIC() INQUIRENDO ON MR. FERMOR.

1~,"i

IVilliam Willoughby Gunston' an attorney resid-
ing in Hatton-garden, surrendered in discharge of his
bail to meet an indictment charging him with com-
mitting an assault; upon Mr. Henry Symth, clerk in
Somerset House, .a witness in the late ingu;.7 re-
specting the state of mind of Mr. Fermor. The
particulars of the assault have already appeared in
our police report at the time the defendant was
brought up.
Mr. CLAE&SON, who appeared for the defendan',
said that had the prosecutor offered any explbrpoion
of the evidence he had given, his client would have
been happy to have made any amends for the itjury
he had committed.

Mr. CARTER, for the plaintiff; said that such a
course could only be considered as an invitation to his
client to admit that he had been guilty of wilful
perjury in the evidence that he had given on oath.
If persons were to be overawed for any evidence they
might have given in any court of justice, there would
be no security for any person whatever.
The Learned JUDGH said that at the same time it
should be observed that if Mr. Smyth refused to give
any explanation he had no right to go about scatter-
ing falsehoods.
Mr. CARTER said he was instructed to Say that
what his client stated he bad stated solemnly on his
oath, and what he still believed to be true. - -

The Learned JUDGE said it appeared to bim that
there was no reflection upon Mrs. Gunston in Mr.
Smyth's evidence. The object of that evidence was
to show that Mr. Fermor was insane and labouring
under delusions ; and when accused of intending to
malign the memory of Mrs. Gunston, Mr. Smyth
ought at once to have disclaimed any such intention
unless such had been his intention. The defendant
was justified in assuming that he was guilty of what
he imputed to him, in the absence of any denial on his
part; and under such circumstances it was not to be
wondered at that a son should be anxious to defend
the reputation of a deceased mother. The sentence
of the Court was, that the defendant be fined is. and
discharged.
