continue very large and the aggregate
growth will, doubtless, be greater than ever' before, although
some portion of the crop will, doubtless, be withheld from
market by the more wealthy class of planters, as the price is
so low as to preclude profit. The situation of the crop is now

PRINCE DE JOIN VILLE ON THE. COAST OF AFRICA.—
Letters from Cape Coast Castle, received on Friday, state
that the Prince de Joinville, in the course of his cruise down
the west coast of Africa, arrived in the end of January on
the Gold Coast. His squadron consisted of the Belle Pottle
frigate, Coquette corvette, and a schooner. From the Dutch
settlement at Elmina his Royal Highness proceeded over-
land to Cape Coast Castle, where he was received on the
morning of the 29th of Jrnuary by Captain Maclean, the go-
vernor, with every mark of honour. The Prince spent the
day with Captain Maclean, examining the establishments and
town. He expressed himself to his own officers much pleased
and surprised at the condition of the fortress, and the order
and comfort of the native population, so much exceeding any-
thing he had previously seen upon the coast of Africa. On
his return to the Belle Poule the Prince wrote to Captai❑
Maclean a letter acknowledging his " most splendid recep-
tion," as be was pleased to term it, and assuring him that
" this short visit would be remembered by him as one of the
most agreeable he had made while on the coast of Africa."
He further begged Captain Maclean's acceptance, as a me-
nodal of their meeting, of a very valuable pocket sextant—
gift from a seaman.

BERLIN, MARCH 13.—Two clergymen, belonging to the
sect of Ancient Lutherans, lately went from East Prussia to
Hamburgh. They have been engaged there in making a
contract for a vessel to carry 1,500 of their flock to the
United States of North America, where they will be allowed
to practise their religion in full liberty.

Accounts from Vienna inform us that, on the Ist instant,
a grand tourney was given at the imperial manege, in honour
of the treat Archduke Charles_ who fifty years ago was there
invested with the order of Maria Theresa. Upwards of
2,500 persons were invited to the fete. The illustrious and
venerable Archduke, on entering with the Emperor, was
saluted by the general rising and acclamations of the whole
assembly. Quadrilles and carousels were executed by the
Princes of Clary, Auseperg, Lokoiwitz, Lichstenstein, and
Trautsmandorf ; the Counts of Blacas. Nadasky, Kolowrat,
Caroly, Zichy. Esterhazy, Harrach, Cholek, and other ca-
valiers.

EARTHQUAKE IN HOLLAND.—In addition to the reports
which we receive from all parts of the provinces respecting
the earthquake, of which we have had experience in this city
and the adjacent villages, we now further learn, that the
heaviest shocks were felt in the districts of Vechel and Uden.
'We are just told that the di e_of the Znid-Willemsvaart ca-
nalsily has given way, and hat sunk to the extent of 20
yards. The sluices have injured, and considerable da-
mage has been done to some of the adjoining houses. The
directors of the water establishment are occupied in investi-
gating the subject. Letters received to-day from St. Ode-
rode mention that several shocks were felt there on Friday
night, about eleven o'clock. The inhabitants rushed out of
their houses for fear of being buried under the ruins, ann re-
mained in the open air until daylight returned. The like
shocks have occurred again in the commune of Vechel and
the neighbouring countrj •"—Handlesblad;
" There was a great robbery in the Desert, a few days ago.
The caravan, going from Damascus to Bagdad, was attacked
by the Arabs, and a severe fight ensued, which lasted three
days, when the Arabs were completely repulsed. The people
of the caravan, thinking they had finished with them, pursued
their journey ; but, the next morning, the Arabs returned
with a large reinforcement, and attacked them again. In the
confusion, a large lot of camels, about 170, took fright and
ran off. The Arabs, seeing this, desisted from fighting, and
managed to get off with the whole of the runaway camels,
which they chased before them; and, satisfied with so large
a booty, did not return. The remainder of the caravan re-
turned to Damascus. It is said, between one and two hun-
dred men were killed, chiefly Arabs ; and the loss of property
is estimated at about £lO,OOO. This is an unfortunate affair ,
for the proprietors of the goods, as not a farthing will ever
be recovered."

THE MURDER OF Dr. MARTIN.—ALTA, APRIL 5.
Yesterday the murderer of the late Dr. Martin was put to
the bar. No case establishing his guilt could have been
clearer, but as one of the jurors out of seven who presided
sapiently chose to consider that every man who kills another
must be labouring under monomania, the prisoner, on being
found guilty, escaped the capital punishment, and was sen-
tenced to the galleys for life, with chains to his legs. Six
out of the seven jurors pronounced the crime a deliberate
act of murder, meriting death. The sentence had given con-
siderable pain, though the judges (by law) could not award
the capital punishment if all the jurors do not agree.

EXPLOSION OF GUNPOWDER MILLS AT
WALTHAM ABBEY.

On Thursday, at five minutes after three o'clock in the of
ternoon, a melancholy accident occurred at Waltham Abbey
A part of the gunpowder works exploded ; four buifding:
were laid in ruins, and seven unfortunate fellow-creature;
were in an instant dismissed from life.
Though many years have elapsed since a calamity of any-
thing like the same magnitude occurred at Waltham Abbey,
little accidents have from time to time reminded the inhabit.
ants of the danger in their vicinity; and, consequently,when
three or four unusually loud reports were heard iu succession,
their thottgbta itnniedlately turned- to the powder-mills.
Windows were broken in various houses by the concussion,
and those on one side of the church suffered severely. At
the station-house of the North-Eastern Railway, which is
about a mile from the mills, several squares of glass were
breed ; and the same thing, it appears, happened so far oft
,s in • the main road of Waltham Cross.

—of the buildings literally nothing remained but a heap of
black rubbish, in the midst of which some broken machinery
could be distinguished. Weather boarding, rafters, joists,
and enormous blocks have been carried by the expansion of
the gunpowder across the stream which passes in front of the
Government erections, and which is called "The Powder-
nill and thousands and thousands of slates were
strewed on the ground. With the slates, rafters, and pieces
)f machinery, &c., were seen human bodies so torn, black-
!ned, and disfigured, that at once to recognise them was ab-
,olutely impossible. The body of one sufferer was carried a
rery considerable distance ; it was said one hundred and
hirty yards from the spot where the ruin commenced, and
nest have been thrown to a vast height. This was evident
rom the deep indentation made in the ground where the re-
3ains descended. The point made by the head, shoulder,
nd hip was such, it astonished every one that a human body
ould fall with weight sufficient to produce such an indenta. ,
on. Five of the sufferers were carried over " The Powder-
Lill River," and two remained on the side where the build-
gs had stood, one being found among the ruins. We snare

it readers a minute description orthe various appalli
attires of
_the ghastly spectacle. Suffice it to say, some

entrail

s blown out, one his foot carri
e miserably mangled. The cause of the acc

coroner's inquest was held on Saturday, on view of ti
es, when a verdict of accidental death was returned.

COURAGEOUS CONDUCT. —On Monday morning last
ilst a boy belonging to the Tartar, of Hull, now loading it
London Dock, was in the act of descending the sidf
,e bark Rory O' bore, of Liverpool, for the purpose of
ering a boat belonging to the former vessel, he missed
ald and fell into the water, striking against the boat in
ascent, and was on the very point of drowning when
tin M'Master, of the Rory O'More, in the most coura-
, manner leaped overboard, and rescued thi perishing
Had not Captain M`Master behaved in thi, humane
er, nothing could have saved the boy, the Rory O'More
some distance from the quay, and no other assistance
at hand. This is the third instance in which Captain
ster has risked his own life to save his fellow-creatures j
