The terrible calamity which has befallen this unfortunate ship, and tho ravages of that dreadful pestilence ou board nf her, which have carried bitter grief and sorrow iuto tho bosoms of so many afflicted families in this country ar now before the public. Every thing, therefore, tha concerns this vessel must have an interest with the public and if anything can afford consolation to the bereaved and afflicted families in this country, it must be the affectionate and feeling terms in which the survivors speak of those whom the terrible scourge has swept away. On this account we readily give insertion to tho following letter, datod Barbadoea, Dec. 15, 18T2, from a surviving officer to the afflicted parents of that fine and promising young man, Mr. G.

Buahby My dear Sir, Probably by tho last mail you received news of the dreadful epidemic that was raging on board this ship 17 officers up to this time have fallen victims to this fearfully malignant fovcr. Among these, in absence, from sickness or death, of all his messmates, I have to convey to you intelligence of the death of your inestimable relative, G. G. Bushby, after only three days' illness. The uight previous to his attack we were sitting togethor, con-versing ou tho all-important subject of the state of the ship.

At noon, next day, the first symptoms made their appearance, and he was placed under the best of medical men, consisting of the Inspector of Hospitals, and Dr. Denny, of H.M. Regiment. He never showed any degree of alarm from the time he was ueized, nor before, until his serene aud unruffled soul left its earthly tenement. He died, as he haul lived, a pattern of all that was good aud uoblc.

He was an omameut to tho profession he belonged to; his kindness of heart, his sweet toinpor, aud gentlemanly manners will long be remembered by us all, and his premature death is deeply deplored by the few survivors. Captain Halsted, who has been most humane and kind to all the sufferers iu tlus ill-fated ship, was with young Bushby, to whom he was much attached, to the last. THENAVY. Captain Charles Allon (1840) died on the 9th instant, in the 74th year of his age. He was on tho retired list, and was a commander of 1809.

We have reat pleasure in printing the following letter, with which we perfectly coincide TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. StB, In July last Mr.

Gladstone polled 1108 votes; he has polled up to this evening 914 votes. The 1108 votes, after deducting pairs, represent Mr. Gladstone's real strength with very sufficient accuracy. Now, when those who voted for Mr. Gladstone in July, and have now voted against him, and those who voted for him in July, and are now neutral, are deducted from this number of 1108, the remainder will be about tho number who have voted for him this time.

1 believe this is to put case more favourably for Mr. Gladstone than the facts warrant, but 1 am content it should be so put. My conclusion is that Mr. Gladstone's supporters are very nearly, if not quite, polled out. But those who t7iw time oppose Mr.

Gladstone's roluru arc not nearly jmllcd out. Thoy have it, then, clearly iu their hands te win the election. Every day that the poll continues will clear up the doubts and "do away prejudices aud I look confidently in a few days' time to see Mr. Perceval at the head of the poll. Very faithfully vours, GEORGE A.

DENISON, Archdoacon of Taunton. Jan. 12, 1853. It ia said that the strength of Mr. Gladstone's party is exhausted and that his friends mean to protest against the decision of the Vice Chancellor to keep open the poll for fifteen days.

In conformity with the arrangement first conceded by Lord (Jottcnham, and sanctioned and adopted by Lord Truro and Lord St. Leonard's, the sitting of tho courts have, bv order of the Lord Chancellor, been transferred for the term to LiucolnV-inn. IN HE rUSSELL LCNA0T. This is a petition for a commission to inquire into the state of mind of a gentlemau extensively connected with the hardware and iron trace, aud possessed of real and personal property to a very large amount, the personalty being estimated at more than "JOO.OOO., and composed, among other items, of shares in joint-stock companies and minos. He has a wife and two daughters, and, being in delicate hoalth, has resided for somo time iu Paris, leaving his affairs under the management of a confidential attorney.

Iu the latter ond of 1802 ho was attacked by paralysis of "the brain, which threatens the total deprivation of mind and the petition has been presented by his two brothers and nephews who desire to guard against the consequences by placing his property under the jurisdiction of the Court. Tlie Solicitor General, Mr. Glasse, and Mr. Preudergast were for tlie petition. Mr, Rolt and Mr.

Sandys, on the othor side, suggested that this was one of those cases of which bis lordship must in his experience have seen many, where an attempt to interfere with the subject of the potition through the inquiries of a commission would be attended with consequences to be deprecated, and which would, probably, produce the very result which all parties wished to avoid. Tho health of Mr. Fnssell was in that extremely delicate state, arising from the nature of the attack, that any formal examination by medical men, or by a jury, wonlil probably render that paralysis jwrmanent, which his friends and family believed to be only temporary attack and as he was in the enjoyment of all the attention and care that his delicate slate required, and free from mental aberration, his connel had a suggestion to offer to the Court, which it was hoped wonld receive its sanction and bo unresisted by the other ide. The proposition was that the property and affairs of Mr. Fusscllnc placed for the present under the management of two gentlemen, one of them to be selected by his wife and the other by the petitioners; and that in the event of any cause of complaint arising, there be left a power of applying to the Court under the pending proceedings for a connnission.

This suggestion was framed with a view of sparing the feelings of Mr. Fnssell, and fully protecting his property during the present attack of illness. His Lordship, giving due weight to the motives of the suggestion, did not see how he could apHiut managers of the property of Mr. Pussell unless it was established that ho wa incapable of managing it himself. The Court could not make an order to deprive Mr.

Fiusoll of the control over his own affairs, and give it to any person to be uamed by the family. Mr. Rolt observed that Mr. Fnssell had already jvarted with the management of his property, and aptannted an attorney who had full discretion reposed in him. Mrs.

Fnssell desired no more than that this gentleman should continue to act in conjunction with some one to be named by the petitioners. It was a suggestion for tho sanction of the Court, and not asked for as an order of the Court. His Lordship did not feel warranted in taking such a course uuder a petition asking for a commission but if the parties had no objection, he was willing to read over tlie affidavits ou both Hides, aad then give his opinion on the case, and on the foiin of proceeding that was most expedient. The Solicitor Geucral readily accepted his lordship's proposal to read the affidavits, as for many reasons it was better thoy should not be made public. Mr.

Rolt concurred in that view of the case, and alio expressed the willingness of the family to havo Mr, Fussoll visited by any medical man his lordship might name, provided suoh visit was made with due precaution for concealing its object. His Loi'dship remarked that modical gentlemen wero geuerally competent to treat delicate cases of that kind with propriety. The ltetition therefore standi over till his lordship has looked at the affidavits. His Lordship took occasion to inform tho bar that he had conferred with the Lords Justices on tho subject of the sittings of the full Court, and he found it would bo inconvenient to commence them nntil Saturday next, but ou that morning, and throughout the Term, as a general rule, them would be sittings of the full Court. On Friday his lordahip intended to assist the Lords Justices by taking the piqu i of lunatic petitions, and thus far relieving them from the pressure of business, as there was so little at present pending before himself.

The first case on tli of Saturday would be that of Exparte PearsonK Kxocntors in re the Midland Union," which the Lords Justice wished to be heard. Mr. Rolt reminded his lordship that there was a case heard before the Lord Justice Turner, when Vice Chancellor, which tho mules wished to bring before the full Court, and which hail already been mentioned. His Lordship recollected that application, aud now directed the appeal to be in the paper of Saturday. There could be no objection to the presence of the Lord Justice Turner at the hearing.

At common law it was always considered an advautago to have the learned judgo from whose decision an appenl was brought among the judges who were to hear that appeal, and his lordship saw no reason why there should not be the same advautago in hearing a suit in equity. VICE CHANCELLORS' COURTS Wednesday. (Before Sir Richard Kinds rsIjET.) the matter of the incumbent op st. john's, hollowav. dickgnson's trust.

This was the petition of four gentlemen seeking to be appointed trustees of a legacy of bequeathed by Mr. 1 Dickenson, of Holloway, upon trast to apply the annual interest iu the purchase of bread, potatoes, and coals, to bo equally divided among 20 poor deserving families, who should be regular and constant attendants on Divine service.

Mr.

Regnier Mooro stated that the select vestry originally appointed by the Church Building Commissionem consisted of substantial inhabitants," without any other qualification. Thoy from time to time elocted so that they were a self-elected body. By the 14th aud 15th 97, s. o3 (an Act to amond the Church Bnildiug Acts), the select vestry was abolished, aud there being no body exi-tting out of which any persons could bo chosen to bo trustees, it was now proposed, and it wan agreed to on the part of the Attorney Oeneral, that, subject to tho approbation of the Court, the remaining trustees of the charity should prepare a list of 25 substantial housoholder of the district parish of St. John's, Holloway, and out of sU'-h list one or more person or persons should be chosen by the major part of the parishioners, who hould attend aud be present at a meeting to bo called by the incumbent for the The Vice Chancellor granted the potition, and sanctioned the proposed schemo.

The Vim Chancellor said, he wished it to be understood that in all cases wheru the claim was sigued by counsel, in his opinion the application was a matter of course. It ought also to be considered whether what sought to be done by claim might uot also be done by summons.

(Btfore William Page Wood.) BRENAN ANU OTHERS V. PUE8T0N ANn OTHERS. Mr. Follett, with whom wat Mr. W.

M. James, moved for an injunction restraining the defendants from proceeding with actions at law against tho plaintiffs, to recover damages for the alleged breach of an agreement to employ the defendants as ship's husbands, brokers, and ageut. The plaintiffs wore owners of throe-fourths of a screw -steamer called the Phosbe, which hey, with the defendants, had agreed in 1851 to build and purchase. It was part of the agreement that the defendants xhould be irrevocably appointed tho ship's husbands, brokers, and agents, and that if they wore removed, 1500'. should be paid by tho other part-ownerB a damages.

The ship was built at tho Clyde, and brought round to Liverpool. The plaintiffs by this bill complained that whereas the defendants had entered iuto an engagement with Messrs. Barns and M'lou to charter tho ship, they paying 134J. por week as the rent or freight of the ship, and to provile for tho wages and other expenses, the amount which they had been informed was to be paid was not 1341. but 130V.

The plaintiffs, alleging that there had been such a concealment of the agreement for 1.34., gave the defendants notice of a motion, which was afterwards made before Vico Chancellor Tumor, for an iujunotiou restraining them from acting any longer in the management of the vessel, and for a receiver. Vice Chancellor Turner declined interfering; but, upon appeal, the Lords Justices inado the order against the defendants, who insisted that they intended toacoount far the extra U. on the settlement of accounts, and claimed to be entitled to it by way of commission for some payments which were out of tue ordinary course of ehipping agency, aud also denied any concealment. Immediately after the decision of the Lords Justices, preventing the defendants from acting any longer as ship's husbands aud agents, actions were brought agaim-t tho plaintiffs for the 1300., which it was now sought to restrain by the present motion for the injunction. Mr.

Bolt, Mr. J. V. Trior, and Mr. rJurnie opposed Uie motion, contending that tlie right to remove the defendants for alleged fraud was properly cogniaiblo by a court of law, aud that a right of action had accrued before the filing of the bill.

They argued that the jurisdiction of equity which had been appealed to was really ancillary to the remedy at law, and not opposed to it that, at all events, thure were concurrent jurisdictions, and the Court would not interfere, if at all, until after verdict and judgment. Thev insisted Uut the questiou upon which the whole litigation turned was one of fraud, and which a court oquifv usually sent to a jury. The V'ice Chancellor, without calling upon Mr. Follett for a reply, granted tho iujuuetioa. It was not mvessarv for him to say how he should have decided (his preseut moiten had tho proceedings at law been commenced previously to the suit in equity.

The Court had alroady taken stei tor the interim protection of the property in the vessel.

DEATH OF N. ALEXANDER, if. P. The Nttrtliern Yhiy supplies the following pacliculais of the death of one of the members for Antrim We regret to have to announce the death of Nathaniel Alexander, late representative of the county of Antrim in the House of Commons, which melancholy event took place on Wednesday, the 5th instant, at Ardimorsey Cottage, Isloy, tho residence of Robert Langtry, whore the deceased gentleman had been staying for some time past. About a fortuight since Mr.

Alexander was token ill with a severe attack of water on tho chest but no serious apprehensions were entertained regarding him until Monday, tho 3d instant, when his illness exhibited alarming symptoms. After that period ho gradually grew worse, and on Wednesday last he expired in the vigour of manhood, having only recently completed his Wth year. The docoased became a candidate for the representation of the county of Antrim in parliament when the elevation of his relative. General O'Neill, to a peerage in 1841, rendered one of the seats for thatcouuty vacaut. The electors were also addressed at this period by Edmund M'Donuell, of Gleuarm Castlo but the latter gentleman declining a contest, Mr.

Alexander was returned at Carrickforgus, on the 11th of April, 1841. At the general election consequent on the dissolution of ministers, in tho same year, Mr. Alexander again addressed tho electors, and being unopposed was returned at Carrickforgus on Tuesday, July 13, along with John Irving, Esq. From this time Mr. A-eon tinned in the representation of the oouutup to lSuSl, when he issued an address to the electors intimating his intention of not again sohcitiug their suffrages.

Shortly after his re-election iu 1841 Mr. Alexander married Flo-rinda, secoud daughter of R. Bagloy, and niece of Lord Castlemaine, an amiable and accomplished lady. In politics the deceased gentleman was a Conservative, and voted for agricultural protection in 1846. In private life he was unostentatious, amiable aud inoffen-sivo, never allowing a political difference to interfere with the observances of private friendship.

The remains of the deceased gentlemau arc expected to arrive in Belfast by the Scotch boat this morning' THE GREAT METROPOLlTAlTpdULTRY Yesterday, being the first "shilling" day of the Great Metropolitan Poultry Show, from an early hour in the morning the Baker-street Bazaar and its vicinity became thronged by large masses of highly-respeotablo people anxious to view this most singular and exceedingly interesting exhibition. Amongst the earlier arrivals "were the the eminent agriculturist, Tho Cochin China specimens, and the pigeon classes, appear to afford the greatest amount of amusement but another object of intense interest is the exhibition of Can-telow's hydro incubator, or egg-hatching machine, more especially amongst tho more juvenile portion of the visitors. Inconsequence of the vast quantity of eggs beingcontinu-ally laid by the various rpecimens, and the extraordinary desire manifested to obtain those of the Cochin China species in particular, printed notices were posted all over the galleries to the effect, that all eggs laid during the show would be at once destroyed and any person purloining one would ba immediately given into custodv. Another notice announces that the sides of the stock will" commence this day by auction, at twelve o'clock that no specimens will, under any circumstances, bo permitted to be sold by private contract. The reason for determining that there shall be an auction for every upecimen is the fact, that at the Birmingham show judges of the valuable birds, in oon-soLjuence of that oinwaion, wero onablod to purchase them at a price considerably below their bona fide worth.

The show opens again this day, aud will, like the cattle show, continue open until Friday evening, when it will fiuallv close. Lonixvx and WEs-nnxsTEit Bank. The Tiondou and Westminster Bank have given notice that the rate of allowance to their customers on deposit receipts will be increased from ouc per cent.to one aud a half per and that the alteration will date back frum the 1st inst. Burouaky with VIOLENCE. About midnight on Friday last, or early on the following morning, a house occupied by James Deunington aud his wife, an aged couple, situate on the road leading from Ipswich to Henly, was forcibly entered by three or four men.

Deunington is keoxer of the gate which is called Whitton Toll-gate." The burglars, it is snpiosed, selected Friday night, under au impression that the money taken during the week was in the possession of Dennington, but fortunately this was not so, as but a small amount of money was in the house. The burglars succeeded in effecting an entrance bv removing a pane of glass from the kitchen widow, where they appeared to have stayed some from the quantity of elderberry wine which had been consumed. It appears viuiv uieu entrance was suspected by the wife of Ueuuiug-toa, who is upward of 80 years of age, as she remarked to her husband that sho thought she beard some one iu the house. The poor old man replied, Nonsense it is only the dog mid cat playing." The fears of the old lady were realised, for three men with thoir faces blackened soon entered the bedroom of the aged couple, and demanded the money that was in the house." The poor old mau jumpixl out of bod as quickly as he could, but he was immediately seized by one of the ruffians by the throat, who held him lightly, and whon he attempted to movo, tho fellow knocked his head against tho wall of the room, and another struck him on his hoad with a poker, and told him it would be better for him to he cuict. The other two fellows all this tima wero ransacking the drawers and boxes in the room, and the poor old ladv was lying in the bod, of course, greatly alarmed.

After the burglars had loft the premises, it was discovered that the thieves bad taken away y. lit), in money, and a quantity of salt beef and pork. Ou Saturday, Superintendent Mason proceeded to search tho dokls, when he disoovored a tablecloth, which belongs to Dennington, haugiug on a fence. Wo are happy to say that Dennington is not bo much injured as was suspected his throat, however, is very much bmised from the pressure upon it by the fiugers aud thumb of the villain who held hha whilo tho othor men wero ransacking the house.

At no period in the history of the colony had we ever such a prospect of a Urge and abundant harvest. The land under cultivation iu 1850 was 64,728 acres, or at the rate of upwards of au acre for every man, woman, and child in the province. Since then no returns have been published by the government, but the quantity of laud uuder cultivation may be safely assumed on the two years at por cent, increase. This would give between 80,000 aud 90,000 acres at present under cultivation, and of this the propwrtion of wheat, and barley, and oats, would be fully two-thirds. There is, consequently, no fear of our not having a large surplus stock for the purposes of export, and to supply the want of all new comers.

THE ADELAIDE GOLD-FIELDS. What we before assumed under this hoad as probable, now turns out to be a reality. We have a workable gold-field in South Australia, and that, too, within 23 miles of Adelaide. Its extent has not yet beeu ascertained, but between 300 and 400 liconoes have been taken out, and fully that numbor of persons are at present at work. The largest quantity raised by any one party at the Echunga diggings, however, does not exceed 51b.

to 5ilb. in weight. Mauy smaller parcels have been exhibited say, of two, three, and four ounces each, up to aa many pounds but it is exceedingly difficult to get at anything like tho aggregate amount raised, owing to the nearness of the diggiugs to Adelaide, aud the readiuess with which the earnings of the diggers is turned into cash, without tho intervention of third parties, either in the shape of brokers, or a government oscort. At amodo-rato calculation, however, it cannot be less than 751b. in weight.

This, certainly, is no great things, at compared with tho Victoria diggings; but it must be remembered, that it is equal to 3000. sterling, aud that the Echunga diggings have only just been opened, and that too at the most unpropilious seasoM of the year. At first, little was attempted at Echunga beyond surface washing, but the parties now at work are beginning to sink steadily on the rock, and not without a fair share of encouragement. Most of them are old Mount Alexander gold-diggers, aud their belief is, that they can do better at Eohuuga than at Mount Alexander, or they would not stop another hour. This is the true test of the value of the discovery, and although there is nothing great to report of it at present, we shall probably ero long have to speak of it in altogether different terms.

Some tine nugjots of Echuuga gold aro to be sent homo by tho Australian, weighing from two pennyweights to half an ounce and an ounce each, The largest yet discovered is about an ounce and a half in weight. LOCAL GOLD COINAGE. The Bullion Act of January last was only to continue in operation twelve months from the period of iU enactment. Tho banks, however, got alarmed a short time ago at the quantity of gld that came pouring in upon them, under a belief of their inability to retire the notes they had been compelled to issue against bulbon, with coined gold, within the time specified, and they consequently applied to the governor for an extension of the measure. This, after much discussion, was finally agreed upon, and a bill for this pui-osc was to have been introduced iuto the Legislative Couucil during its present sitting.

But tlie succession of events here is rapid, and involves frequent changes of policy. Intelligence reached us of the proposed establishment of a branch of the Royal Mint in one or more of the othor colonies, and this, it was felt, would be a death-blow te the prosperity of Adelaide if it was not met with some similar concurrent movement. This led to an agitation upon tho subject of a local gold coinage, and this the governor was at last iuduced to accept as a substitute for the proposed continuance of the Bullion Act. Gold tokeus are consequently being coined of tho respective values of and 5. each, and will, in the course of a week or two, be in general circulation.

These tokens, it should be observed, are coiued out of standard gold of 22 carats, valued at 'M. lis. per and are made a legal tender between all parties. But if their intrinsic is greater than their nominal value, to the extent of the difference between 3. lis.

aud 'M. 17s. lOd. per less the cost of freight and insurance to England, they will gradually disappear from the general circulation, and be absorbed for the purposes of remittance. Still, it will be a great temporary convenience to all parties, and not less so to the bank than to the general public.

Besides which, also, it renders any extension of the Bullion Act altogether unnecessary. Nor is this all that has been done on the subject. In anticipation of the establishment of one or more branches of the Royal Mint in these colonies. South Australia has registered its claim in the followinc address to thoOueen. which was unanimously adopted by the Legislative Council on Thursday last, September the 30th, aud which will, we presume, be conveyed te her Majesty by tho Australian steamer "TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

May it please your Majesty, We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the members of the Legislative Council of South Australia, in council assembled, humbly represent to your Majesty "1. Tliat a large quautity of gold bulliou, amounting to upwards of sterling, is now in South Australia, the property of tho oolonists. 2 That this amount is likely to be increased, by the recent discovery of a gold field in this province, within 23 miles of Adelaide. 3. That the expense of transmitting bullion te England, and briuging back coin, is a serious loss to this community, without any commensurate advantage to the mother country.

4. That the establishment of a mint in any of the other Australian colonies would not remedy te the South Australian colonists the evil complained of, unless to a very small extent, because the expense of transmitting bullion te any of the neighbouring colonies in exohange for gold coin would be nearly as gr eat as the transmission of it to England for such purpose, That tho province of South Australia, being a gold-producing colony, has au equal claim te the establishment of a Branch Mint with any other of the Australian colonies. This council, therefore, humbly prays your Majesty will be graciously pleased to grant to the colony of South Australia the establishment of a branch of your Majesty's Royal Mint. And your petitioners, as iu duty bound, will ever pray." There may be a difference of opinion, perhapB, as to the policy of setting up a branch of tho Royal Mint in any of these colonies but there can he none as to our claim te this privilege, if it is conceded to any other of the Australian colonies.

jUw oI The opiuion, howevev, is daily gaining ground that this rate of wages will not be long maintained, but that labour will be as abuudant, as ever in Adulaido. Some, in fact, go the length of supposing that the present rush to these colouies will overdo the "labour market, aud that great privation and distress will be the consequence. This is founded on the belief that the gold diggings will no laflt more than another year or so, and that it will theu be difficult to find remunerative employment for the superabundant population. We do not oonour in tlus view of the subject ourselves, but parties determining upon making the Austra lian colonies their future home must take into account the fluctuation to which these, in common with all other ucw countries, are liable. DEATH OF JUDGE CRAWFORD.

On Friday, Sept. 24, Judge Crawford closed hU mortal career among us at the early age of 40. Mr. Crawford had suffered for some months from a painful diseaso, which was pronounced by his medical attendants, several weeks ago, to be iucnrable bat the knowledge thai, his last hours on earth wero lit hand neither the fortitude he displayed during his long suffering, nor interrupted the Chirstiau sereuity with which ho patiently awaited his departure. By his death a great public loss has been Bastnincd.

As second Judgo of the Supreme Court, he bad gained, and by his straightforward conduct was rapidly confirming, the high opinion of his talents and integrity ontertained by the legal profession and by suitors. His Excellency the Governor, nearly all the officers of the government, the clorgv, and upwards of COO of the principal inhabitants of Adelaide, were present in the church, and severs! hundreds more accompanied hia romain bo the cemetery. Mr. Crawford was a member of the Irish bar, to which' he was cailod in 1840, and ho was appointed to tho puisne judgeship of South Australia in 1850. He has left a wifo and four children to deplore bis loss.

THE SCREW COMPANY'S SHIP CALCUTTA. Tho General Screw-Steam Navigation Company's bctow-ftlnp Calcutta arrived at the Cape from Plymouth, calling at St. iuceut's and Ascension, and having the mails of the Australian Company's steamer Melbonnie, Nov. 22, having been 38 days from Plymimth. She left for Mauritius aud Calcutta on the 27th.

A Cape paper has tho following account ot hor The Royal Mail screw-steamer Calcutta, 1800 tons, Capt. J. Vine Hall (so well known and respected here as the commander of the Bosphorus, the first of tho Cape steamers), arrived in Table Bay yesterday morning with the outward mails. She left Plymouth on the 15th ult. at 5 p.m., arrived at St.

Vincent's on the 2fith, remained coaling there until tho night of the 29th, when she proceeded to Ascension, where she arrived on the 8th instant, but not succeeding iu getting coals (there being none on the island), she left the same night fur the Cape, and since that time they have had a succession of strong south-easterly and easterly winds, which, together with the necessary economising of fuel, have been the cause of retarding tlie vessel, for her sailing qualities are unquestionable on several occasions by the wind she made 12 knots an hour, and frequently 10. Tho Calcutta is an improvement on the former models, and her appearance certainly bespeaks it. She is pro-nouucod by the Admiralty ageut aud other passengers, conversant with these matters, to possess superior sailing qualiiicatiuus to any vessel thoy wore ever ou board. So that in fact sho is quite independent of steam, as far as making a voyage is concerned, aud is, perhaps, at the present moment one of the most perfect specimens of an auxiliary screw-steamer afloat," OVERFLOW OF THE THAME. Yesterday morning tlie tido again rose to an almost unprecedented height.

Such an event is rather ununnnl at the new moon which, under ordinary cir-oninataneos, never attain a vary great altitude but the heavy gales that have beeu blowing for the last two davs, assisted by tho land freshets in the river and it tributary streams, caused by the continual rains, tended greatly to increase the flow of water and had it not been for the warning conveyed by the high tides of the two previous days, causing the inhabitants of waterside premises to take precautions in order to prevent a far as possible the ingress of water to thoir dwellings, the destruction of property must have been much greater than it is, notwithstanding tho preventive measures that had been adopted. The wind having come round to the northward of west during the night, forced an immense body of water up the river, which before high water had overflowed its banks, inundating the wharves and adjacent streets to some depth, and tho water rushing up the nn trapped sew ers found it way iuto the cellars and basement floors, which in many instauces wero laid several foot under water, iujuring to a very groat extent the foundations, and causing extensive damage to household goods. A vast quantity of timber, caaks, and other buoyaut articles, wore canned off by the receding tide, the greator portion of which will become a total loss. This was principally tho case iu the low districts of Dept-ford, Bermondsey-wall, and Rotherhithe. The markot-garden ground at Deptford and Rotherhithe has suffered severely.

Lower down the river the tide beat over the sea-walls, inundating the adjoining marshes. The masters of those oyster-boats that arrived in the morning state that the marshes at Einloy Ferry, iu the Isle of Shoppy, opposite Milton, are entirely under water, and those between King's Ferry and Queenborough.thr mgh which a foot road paasos, although situated much higher, are overflowed and the same has occurred at Otterane Quay, Lower Dalstoue, Stangatc, and tho Isle of Grain. A very large number of sheep have beeu drowned in the marshes, and several of the ohophords' huts entirely swept away. The damage sustained by shipping iu the lower roaches has been immense, iu consequence of getting adrift and coming in contact, by which spars, rigging, bulwarks, aud figureheads have been carried away. or Loan Djsnmaj.

Her Majesty's ship Vestal, 2G, Captain Cospatrick Baillie Hamilton, serving on the North American aud West Indian htation, was at Havaunah on the 10th of December last, all well and a squadron of steam-shins, under his orders, were cruifiing in the neighbourhood. Couaiderablo excitement prevailed at Havaunah owing to a British subject, Plassy Lawrence, who had been kidnapped from the island of Vevia, and sold into slavery at Havaunah, having contrived to make her escape, and take refuge on board the Vestal. Application had been made by the British government for the release of tlie poor woman, but in vain. The marks of the most savage flogging were evidont on her back when she wout on board thi whip. The Vestal was under the guns of tho batteries, and surrounded by the Spanish fleet, but her gallant captain would not Uston to any proposal for giving her look to bor inhuman masters, and she remains safe under the protection of the British flag, although shoisbnt a humble subject of that country, Plymouth, Wednesday, Jan.
