ENGLAND. A.DMLUIAL SIR CHARLES A DAL.—Admiral Sir Charles Mans, Governor of Greenwich Hospital, has for some time past been seriously indisposed. R4ourrasaor ME.1171408.—0n Wednesday a bill; I • which has passed the Lords, was printed, by order of the House of Commons, to reduce from £2OO to £lOO the salary of the Registrar of Meetings of the Court of Bankruptcy, and his fee of Is on registry to 6d.  Lady Hermoine Graham, wife of Captain Graham, eldest son of the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, Bail., was safely delivered of a daughter on Friday last, at the residence of the First Lord of the Admirilty, Whitehall. Lady Hermoine' is daughter of Lady Seymour, Queen of Beauty, and grand daughter of the Duchess of Somerset. Major-General the Hon. George Auson, the Hen. Mrs. Anson and family, leave London, it is understood, by the next overland mail for Calcutta, where the gallant officer takes the command lately vacated by Major-General Sir Thomas Joseph Thackwell. 1 We hear that General Anson does not intend to dispose of the whole of his racing stud. The Times is now published as a twelve page join, oat, the supplement being merged in the main sheet, and forming the first and last leaves, but printed in a detached unstanaped sheet. The removal of the supplement stamp will put upwards of £30,000 a year into the proprietors' pockets, and as they have not announced any reduction in the price of their advertisements, the whole amount of that tax will also go to their profits, or fully £30,000 more—in all £BO,OOO a year clear from one change in our fiscal laws. Letters from New-Orleans give a rather alarming account of the ravages of the yellow fever at that city. In the unloading of the ship Columbus, from Liverpool, the dead body Ma soldier, with the name of 'E. Russel, 33d Regiment,' marked on his clothes, was found among the bales. It is supposed that the deceased secreted himself among the cargo for the purpose of desertion, and that a number of bales had been stowed away after he had hidden himself. As the hatch was secured and caulked, and the ship crowed with emigrant passengers, his cries could not be heard on deck. The body was much decomposed, and appeared to retain none ot its original features. The sentence of death passed upon Caroline Sherwood, at the last Sussex Assizes, for the murder of her child, has been commuted to transportation for life. A similar commutation of punishment has also taken plate in the cenicatlane Chenworth, convicted at the recent assiies at Weds& a drowning a child entrusted to her by itssmother, under pretence of having occasion to leave it for a short time to make some purchases, but with the intention, as subsequent events proved, of deserting it. The circumstances attending the commission of the offence were very peculiar, and the advisers of the crown felt justified in giving effect to the recommendation of the jury in the prisoner's favour. DEPARTURE OP VIE STDNET STEAMER FOR AUSTRALIA —On Saturday the Royal Australian Mail Steam Packet Company's screw steam-ship Sydney took her departure from the East India Docks, and proceeded down the river on her way to Australia. From some ackward matter or other, in wending her course through the Galleons Reach, above Wool. wich, she caught the ground. Fortunately, however, the tide was flowing, and she came off unhurt, it is said. She brought up at Gravesend to receive the mails, and at daybreak, on Sunday morning, sailed direct for her destination (Sydney and Adelaide), without calling in at any port down Channel. She had a number of passengers, and a full cargo of goods.
