THE LOSS OF THE AMAZON. Since our last, eleven more of the crew, picked up in the Bay of Biscay by a Dutch galliot, have been landed at Plymouth. The circumstances connected with Mrs. M'Clenan'i escape are most interesting. Upon the alarm being given she wrapped her infant in a shawl, and rushed upon deck she was put into the boat without any garments but her night clothes. Into this boat 15 or 16 persons placed themselves, but being unable to free the stern tackle, the bow went almost perpen- dicularly down; some fell into the sea, others scramb- led up into the ship again, Mrs. M'Clenan was partly thrown into the sea, but her strong maternal feelings enabled her to save both herself nnd child. She clung with her arm to one of the seats of the boat that was fast, and holding the child with the other, "remained in a nearly vertical position for nearly half an hour." Just when she became aware that she could not hold on much longer, the two engine- ers-the last to leave the ship-rushed to the boat, freed it from the tackle, and jumped into the boat before it could get away. Mrs. M'Clean was very much bruised, and in this trying situation remained 17 hours, almost the whole time up to her waist in water, from the sea breaking over the boat, without food and without clothes. Even the infant's shawl they were obliged to make a sail of, in order to keep the boat before the wind. 17 hours after she escaped from her berth, she was lifted, almost insen- sible, but 8till clinging to her child, on board the vessel that rescued the party.

THE GUN TRADE.BIKMINGHAM, Thursday.— The Board of Ordnance have sent down to this town for the setting up of 23,000 rifle muskets. The tender-papers arrived about 1Q days ago, and this day was fixed for returning them, but the pat- tern. it appears, was not ready at all events it was not set down until yesterday morning, and an extension of the time has taken place to the 22nd iust., when all proposals must be in. The tenders have been sent to nearly all the extensive makers, and, in all probability, the lowest will have it, and, if so, there may be no small amount of uncertainty abo,ut the execution of the order. The workmen met yesterday to fix a price at which they will perform their part of the labour; and any contracts not given in subject to their terms may be attended with delay and uncertain execution. The guns are to be the same as those lately sent to Sir Harry Smith, and which are said to have astonished the natives.-Sun. GREAT RUNNING MATCH.—The foot race for the Champion's belt came off in Copenhagen-fields on Monday, before at least 3,000 spectators. There were 21 competitors The whole of the pedes- trians were on the ground by half-past two o'clock but it was 50 minutes past two before they were off, Frost (the Suffolk stag) taking the lead at a killing pace, so that before four miles bad been run, Grantham of Eton, Levett of Battersea, and other -'cracks" were forced to give in, others dropping off one by one, till the contest was redqced to four—viz., Frost, J. Tet- low of Oldham, Pudney of Mile-end, and Adams of Mitcham—they running throughout in the most splendid manner, Frost, evidently master of the other three, going over the ground like a stag" -the assumed name he bears. The 10 miles were run in 54 minutes 32 seconds, Frost coming in at 44 minutes 32 seconds past three o'clock, being at least 300 yards in advance of Tetlow, Pudney, 50 yards further behind, and Adams 30 yards in the rear of Pudney. Betting before starting was rather in favour of Jackson, Levett, and Grantham, some taking the odds of 3 to 1 against Frost, the winner. 0 THE AGRARIAN CONSPIRACT.-It appears frpm the Irish papers that the agrarian conspiracy in the north is of fearful extent, ane that Lord Bellew, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, had a long in- terview with the Earl of Clarendon, making rev. elations respecting the Riband conspiracy of so startling a kind as to exceed all former belief of its extent, and the completeness of its organization, in the disturbed counties. The Daily Express gives the subjoined rather startling rumour:—" We have heard it stated, although we have no precise in- 71 formation on the subject, that the emissaries of the Riband conspiracy are at present actively engaged in levying contributions in the county of Louth, as the wages of the excutioner of another victim, whose death has been decreed by thi§ atrocious tribunal. The name of the gentleman thus marked out for violent death has also been mentioned, but we, of course, refrain from publishing it." The Newry Examiner is mare explicit, and reports the discovery of a conspiracy to assassinate Mr. Fortescue, of Ravensdale-park, one of the largest landed proprietors in the county at I^outh—Overend a land-bailiff of kquth, near Qundalk, has been wounded by an assassin. Qn his way home at night two men passed him one immediately turned rotund and discharged a pistol which lodged two bullets in his, back; Qverend fell down, and the assassins thinking they had accomplished their object—his death—went off; but it proves that the wounds are not dangerous. Two men have been arrested on suspicion.—On the evening of Wednesday three men armed entered the dwelling- house of a poor man, named John Curran, residing at Corduff, and having placed him on his Lnees one of them disdbarged the contents of a loaded gun through his heart, leaving him a lifeless corpse on his own floor!—The Belfast News Letter states that no less than seventeen gentlemen, being landed proprietors, have been served with threat- ening notices at the suit of the Riband con- spirators. Mr. Thomas Fortescue, a landlord, has,heen "c Mci- allyinformed" that fiftylpounds have been subscribed to pay the man who will murder him. The other day he rode through Dundalk with a man on each side armed with a double-barrelled gun as a body- guard. The gentleman who is obliged to adopt so strange a course in a civilised, country is described as i otje of the best landlords in Ireland." He is the proprietor of Ravensdale, The property was in a very bad state when, it came into his hands, and Mr. Fortescue has done much to improve it, and to el- evate the condition of the tenantry. He is said to be greatly respected by men of all classes. It is stated that Mr. Fortescue has determined on leaving Ireland. b PATENT IVIPE: TVPE.—A company is at present in course of formation for the purpose of carrying into operation a remarkable patent, which has for its ob- ject the manufacture of type by a process of die-linking in a. metal of a harder material than the alloy of lead and antimony, at present employed in casting type in a mould. The proposed mochas operandi is by a self- acting machine, which straightens a length of metal- lip wire of the size and foim required for the body of [ the type; strikes the letter on the end of a die of hardened ateel, and cuts it off at its proper length, and by the aid of steam power perfect type can be produced at the rate of a hundred a minute. Great durability is thnb attained, and there is little or no waste in the manufacture. That the patentees can accomplish all they promise has been proved. Com- pleie machinery was exhibited at the Crystal Palace, where type was made and finished in the most per- fect form, and the pri$e medal was accorded to the invention. The capital of the company is fixed at £30,000 in zelo shares. It is unquestionably the most important improvement which has taken place in the manufacture of type for the last 300 years.— Railway Reqord.

I ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE. The following facts possess some striking points of interest. We mav premise that the story is strictly true, the names only. for obvious reasons, being sup- pressed. In the year 1827, a young woman, of decent parentage, engaged in the service of a clergyman s family in the west country, became acquainted with, and formed an attachment to, a young man in the neighbourhood. A child, the result of this attach- ment, was ultimately, from the inability of either of the parents to support it, consigned to the care of the grandmother on the father s side. The mother had frequent opportunities of seeing and hearing of her boy while she remained in that quarter of the coun- try, but some time afterwards she left the neighbour- a. a'l hood and removed to a distance. 1 nerealter tne father left the same district also and removed to Ire- land, taking the boy along with him. Some years passe I away, and being mutually ignorant of each other's place of residence, the mother, after using means to discover whither her child had been re- moved, gave up all hopes of obtaining the much desired intelligence. She conducted herself well in the gentleftto's family in which she served, and in 4 few years alrer an offer of marriage was made to her by a respectable trrdeaman, which, after candidly re- lating to him the circumstances of her previous life, he was, by reason of his attachment to her, induced to repeat, and she gratefully accepted the offer. In the prosecution of his business he soon thereafter re- moved to Glasgow, where be commenced business 81 an engineer. The father of the boy, in the mean- time, had also married, and by him the youth, when he grew up, was sent to and completed his appren- ticeship with an engineer in Ireland. Subsequently the lad went to Glasgow in search of, and obtained employment, by a singular coincidence, and without a kuowledge on either side of the relationship, from the engineer who, as we have stated, had married the boy's mother; and from the fact of her not having seen him since he was an infant, she never suspected, and indeed could not possibly have recognised him as her long-lost boy. It appears that a brother of the lad's father hap- pened to keep a booking-office for parcels &c., in the city, and to him, among others, the father had some- times, in his letters, alluded to the mother of his boy, and his natural curiosity to know what had become of her. The young man was occasionally in the habit of calling on his father's brother, and reading or talking over any mutual letters they might re- ceive from his father in Ireland. It chanced one day, that a well-dressed, and even lady-like woman, entered the office to book a parcel. The man fixed his eyes upon her, and said he had some distant re- collection of having seen her before, and begged, with all civility, to inquire whether, in her youth, she had been in employment as a servant at a manse in the west country which he named. The lady replied that she had and, ever anxious regarding her boy, and having no reason for concealment, eagerly inquired if he could give her any tidings of her son, or if he knew anything concerning him ? The man told her that he himself was the boy's father; that having seen her in former years he remembered and recog- nised her countenance, and if she would call at his office on the succeeding evening at seven o'clock, he would make arrangements whereby her son would be in attendance, and she might see him. The interest and anxiety, it may be imagined, of this woman was great. She had not heard of her boy, after many vain endeavours, for the long space ef twenty years-not even by letter and here, by a singular accident, when she least expected it, she was on the following evening to see and converse with him. She imme- diately went home and told the circnmstance to her husband, and deep was the interest he also took in the matter which so much concerned her for she had been to him a good and faithful wife, and if she had ei red she had washed away with long sorrow and re- pentance and he, of all others, had fully and freely forgiven her. The interesting time, it may be sup- posed. seemed long and tedious, and it was with an anxious eye, and a palpitating heart, that she en- tered the office of the book-keeper the succeeding evening, a few minutes before the appointed hour. The man informed her that the lad had not yet arrived, but would be there soon, and. handing her a a seat, told her that he would close half a shutter of the side window when he came in, by which siguat she would know that it was her son who entered. People came and went for a considerable time, and the mother's feelings and anxiety were every moment increasing, when one of her husband's workmen enr tered the office. She instinctively turned away her head, for she liked not thit one in her husband's ser- vice should observe her at such an anxious time, but at that instant the half-shutter was hastily closed for it was indeed her son who had entered. She gazed at him as he stood in his prime, and her won- der was great that she should recognise in one of her busband's workmen ner long-iost son Dot the pre- ceding anxiety and the shock was too much, and as she looked she became pale and fainted awav. Restoratives were immediately procured, and, on her being completely recovered, an explanation of the ex- traordinary circumstances was communicatad to the son. Although he had had frequent occasion to speak to his mistress, there had not been the least suspicion, on either side, of the close relationship. They went home to her husband's house and his place of business together. Her husband was amazed, as well he might be, at the turn matters ha4. taken, and indeed it was a subject of deep interest" and wonder to all of them. He was pleased to find that his wife's s,on was so well doing for of course as his master, he knew him well and shortly after- wards having used influence on his behalf, and know- ing the lad's ability, he procured for him a situation as engineer on one of the English railways, which he Still holds. Only about ten months ago the lad in- terceded and obtained for his father a subardinate situation on the same line of railway. The subdued and grateful thoughts of the mother may well be imagined. An absence of nearly 20 years Could not in any degree abate the feelings of mater- nal attachment and, though she had often deplored the error of her youth. It was with feelings of thankfulness and a gladdened heart she contemplated the extraordinary chain of circumstances which un- der Providence, had restored to her, after such a pro- tracted separation, the child of her affections.

HERE IS YOUR REMEDY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT. A MOST MIRACULOUS CURE OF BAD LEGS, AFTER 43 YEARS' SUFFERING. Extract oj a Letter from Mr William Galjnn, of 70, Sain Mary's-street, Weymouth, dated Mat/ loth, 1851. To Professor Hollowav, Sir, -A t the age of 18 my wife (who is now 61) caught a violent cold, which settled in her legs, and ever since that time they have been more or less sore, and greatly o named. Her agonies were distracting, and fur month* together she was deprived entirely of rest and sleep. Everv remedy that medical men advised was tried, but without enect; her health suffered severely, and the state of her legs was terri- ble. I had often read your Advertisements, and advised her to try your Pills and Ointment; and, as a last resource, after every other remedy had proved useless, she consented to do so. She commenced six weeks ago, and, strange to relate, is now in good health. Her legs are painless, with- out seam or scar, and her sleep sound an'1 undisturbed. Could you have witnessed the sufferiags of my wife during lie last 43 rears, and contrast them with her present enjoy- ment ql health, you would indeed feel delighted in having been thp means of so greatly alleviating the sufferings of a fellow creature. (Signed) WILLIAM GALPIN. A PERSON 70 YEARS OF AGE CURED OF A BAD LEG, OF THIRTY YEARS' STANDING. Copy of a Letter from Mr Wm. Alibs, builder of gas ovens, o Rushchjfe, ttftar IJuddersfield, dated May 31$<, 1851.

MILITARY OPERATIONS AT THE CAPE. As a new commander has been appointed to the Cape, and as new prospects of our affairs in those parts appear to be entertained, we shall perhaps be assisting the future judgment of our readers by taking a comprehensive review of the military operations since the commencement of the war. It is rarely safe to criticise from a distance the decisions of a general in the field bat we have now a campaign of twelve months displayed before us, and, if we can- not appreciate the measures adopted by their intrinsic expediency, we can at least test them by their success. To bring the subject within easy reach we premise a familiar illustration of the scene of action. The southern extremity of the African continent is t. very unlike the county of Devon in the outlines of its coast. The favourite water-place of Salcombe represents the position of Cape Town, the seat of Government, and the country between this point and the river Dart gives a very fair reception of the rela- tive extent of the colony prqper-r-that is to say, of the provinces regularly settled. The counterpart of the Dart is the Great Fisher River, beyond which lies the territory debated between ourselves and the Gaffres. The Teign tailing into the sea at Teign- mouth represents the Keiskamma, and the position of the Kei is not inaptly' figured by that of the p 15 Ex. Any person acquainted with Devonshire, or iq possession of a map of that county, can readily nn* derstand from these suggestions the transactions of the past year. Formerly the colonial boundary would have been represented by the Dart, a town called Graham's Town, corresponding in some sort to Totnes, being the capital of the eastern districts. By recent arrangements, however, the space, As it were, between the Dart and the Teign, were taken perma- nently into the colony, and the further territory from the latter river up to the Kei, or the Ex, was consti- tuted a neutral district or march under the title of British Caffraria. This district was studded with small forts and garrisons by way of protection to the more settled parts of the colony, the chief station being King William's Town, corresponding in our illustration to Chudleigh. The war broke out some twelve or thirteen months ago by hostile demonstrations in this district of Caf- fraria, on the receipt of which intelligence Sir Harry Smith left Cape Town by sea, and transported him- self within the space of four or five days to King William's Town. Here upon ascettaining the posi- tion of affairs, he resolved to fix his head-quarters, and he devised the following plan for the campaign: -After first despatching an expedition in the hope of seizing a chief who was presumed to be the originator of the outbreak, he decided on strengthening the garri- sons along the chain of forts, and on maintaining this line of defence against the savages untii he should be reinforced by succours from Cape Town, and en- lightened by further observations as to tne prospects before him. The expedition not only proved unsuc- cessful, but was severely handled by the Caffres, and this was the first bloodshed of the war. The forts, however, maintained themselves stoutly, and though they were environed by swarming heathens, and the commander himself belonged to one of them, they re- sisted every assault, and were soon placed beyond danger by seasonable supplies. At this time it was Sir Harry Smith's hope that by thus detaining the CafFres around the several garrisons he should be enabled to keep them from invading and pillaging the colouy, and as there was easy and soft communica- tion by sea between the head-quarters and the seat of Government, he anticipated that he should soon gather strength enough to assume the offensive, and terminate the war. Meantime he was fully occupied in maintaining the communications between himself and his garrisons, and in sending out patrols" to scour the intervening country and keep the Caffres in check. These operations were, in themselves, substantially successful. Our patrols were encountered by the savages, but with no great results, and in assaults upon our fortified posts the enemy was uniformiy beaten. Still they were not effectually discouraged and. as Sir Harry's reinforcements at length came up, he resolved upon a movement an a more extensive scale. To the north of C4ffraria there was a wild and mountainous tract of country which we can only re- present in our comparison by supposing Dartmoor Forest to be moved up to the neighbourhood of Exeter. Ja this dsstrict, known as the Amatolas, it was understood that Sandhilli, the insurgent chief, had established himself, and Sir Harry conceived that if he could beat up his camp and make a thorough sweep of the whole country, so efFectqal a dlslodg- ment of the enemy must needs bring him conclu- sively to terms. Accordingly, after considerable and unexpected delays, this operation was duly effected, and with such immediate success that the Amatolas were entirely cleared. The result, however, was widely different from what Sir Harry had anticipated, for the CafFres instead of suing for peace, or retreating beyond the Kei, adopted resolutions which proved their undiminished audacity and vigour. Abandoning their camps in Caffraria, and leaving Sir Harry's gar- risons in their rear, they penetrated without difficulty through the chain of forts, crossed not only the Keis- kamma, but the great Fish River, and actually estab- lished themselves on the lands of the British colonists. What they have done here we need hardly repeat. They have pitched their camps in strong positions, judiciously chosen, and vigilantly guarded; they have infricted severe losses on the detachments sent against them, and they have lived in abundance on our flocks and herds. During this unexpected change of affairs the Com- mander-in-chief has still retained his post at King William's Town, though the Caffres are now in his rear instead of his front, and his attention has been occupied by two points which admit less easily of illustration than the foregoing transactions. Besides the annexation of which we have spoken, there was also attached to the British dominion, under the aus- pices of the Colonial-office, a certain district called the Sovereignty," the reader must select some point beyond the Bristol Channel, and imagine it occupied by the Mayor of Exeter, under the management of a deputy-warden. What products were originally ex- J pected from this appendage to the colony we cannot pretend to conjectqre, but it was at any rate, thought likely to furnish enemies, and two admirable regi- ments either ate, or were, to have been despatched to these regions from Sir Harry's army. In addition to this little diversion, there was a chief living across the Kei, named Kreji, of whose disposition it is quite enough to say that he is a Caffre. Hitherto he was thought to have abstained from overtly committing himself, but we are no\ informed by the most recent intelligence that an expedition of the largest scale per- mitted by the strength of the Cape army is to be des- patched against him so that 2,000 or 3,000 of our troops are to be marched beyond the eastern frontier of Caffraria, while the very walls of Graham's Town are threatened by CafFres in our own territory. Such is the present state of affairs at the Cape, and by such steps has it been reached. On reviewing these transactions the chief source 6f evil appears to have been in the delays which, either inevitably or injudiciously, were permitted to occur. It seems difficult to quarrel with the first resolutions of Sir Harry to detain the Qaffres in Cafrraria, and to make that province, as waS always intended, the seat of war, to the exemption of the more settled parts. Of the expedition to the Amatolas we will say no more than that it proved to be a mistake but, un- fortunately, while all these operations wore pending, whlie Sir Harry was waiting for reinforcements, and sending out patrols, the CafFres were daily gathering both confidence and strength, till at last they grew too hardy to be easily defeated, and too, stubborn to be much discouraged by defeat. When the Amatolas expedition failed of its expected fruits, Sir Harry's bolt was shot. He appears to have had no other plan or project, or, if he had, the augmented boldness of the enemy effectually demolished it. The war, therefore, instead of being an attack by British troops upon savages in CaSraria, has become a hand to hand conflict between CafFre^ and British in our own terri- tories, with every advantage on the side of our oppo- nents. The Calfres are not only supporting them- selves at our expense, bqt are living under circum- stances which, considering their habits, may be described as remarkably comfortable; in fact, they have probably never been better off than during the last four mouths of the war." We, on the contrary, are losing our property, lavishing our treasure, and expending the best blood of our troops in a quarrel which cannot possibly bring us either credit or com- pensation. These are the conditions which a new general must do his best to reverse. As the CafFres are actually encamped on our own homesteads, we cannot finish the war by retiring, nor do we imagine it will be proposed that we should pay them to with- draw. We must necessarily dislodge them, after which operation we trust Kreli and thq Sovereignty" will be left to themselves, and our frontier be ren tiered more defensible by its natural protectors—a colonial force.—Time?.

REVIEW OF THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. The general tone of the advices from the con- tinent continues much the same as before. The position of affairs here appears to he little re- garded, and the high range of prices is to be attri- buted to local speculation more than to any export demand indeed, quotations are now relatively so much higher abroad than in this country, that at the moment there is no prospect of business being done in grain between Great Britain and the con- j tinent with advantage. Danzig letters of the 12th inst, state that the stocks of fine old Wheat had become reduced into a Darrow compass, and that holders had conse- quently asked very high rate3—say 48s. to 49s. for the best, and 40s. per quarter for very ordinary descriptions. The annual reports from thence all agree in stating that the Wheat crap had given a good return as regards quantity, but that in point of quality the result of the harvest bad been decidely unfavourable, very few of the parcels of new Wheat brought forward having exceeded 59 to 60 lbs. per bushel in weight The exports of Wheat from Danzig, in 1851, had amounted to 32,897 lasts, against 37,136 lasts in 1850. The stock on hand at the close of the year was esti- mated at 14,350 lasts, being 5,500 lasts less than was held at the end of 1850. Advices from Rostock, dated 13th inst., state that further purchase of Wheat had been made there on Hamburg account, which bad enabled sellers to advance prices, and moderately good qualities, weighing 61 to 61! lbs. per bushel, were then worth 39s. per quarter free on board in spring. The quality of the new Wheat hardly came so well as expected, and it would, it was thought, be difficult to ship a higher weight than oli lbs. per bushel. The prevailing belief was, that even if England should not require supplies, prices would be supported, as a continued demand from the interior of Germany was calculated on, the extensive failure ot the potato crop having caused Wheat to be consumed much more gene- rally than in ordinary years. At Hamburg, on Tuesday, there was again a re- newed demand for Wheat, partly on Stettin ac- count, and contracts were closed for about 10Q lasts to be shipped from Baltic ports in spring. The prices paid were higher than those previously current, viz, 40s, for Holstein and Wismar, and 4ls. 6d. to 42s. per qr. free on board for Pammer- ania and Rostock. Rye was also in request at rising prices, and spring corn of all kinds was firm. For 53 to 54 lbs. Danish Barley, to 33s. 3d. to 23s. 9d.; and for Jutland Oats, of 38 lbs. weight, 16s. per quarter free on board in spring was demanded. From Rotterdam we learn that further pur- chases of white Zealand Wheat had been made for Belgium, which has caused prices to advance 2s. per quarter. In red Wheat there had not been so much doing, but the tendency had been deciiedly upwards. Rye bad been in active request j and all other articles had commanded full terms. The latest accounts from France state that the supplies of Wheat from the growers had proved inadequate to satisfy the demand, and that quota- tions had consequently advanced in all the agri- cultural districts. Meanwhile stocks of Flour were becoming short at the large consuming towns, and the article was rising rapidly in value at Paris, Marseilles, &c. Letters from Naples of the 9th inst. inform us that a vessel or two had been chartered to load Wheat for England at 5s. 6d. per quarter. Com- mon qualities of soft Barletta Wheat might have been bought at 30s., and fine at 34s. per quarter free on board. From the other Mediterranean ports we have no news to communicate. The latest arrivals from America state that the supplies of breadstuffs at the ports on the sea- board had not increased, and a tolerably active export demand for Flour and Wheat having been experienced, prices had undergone a further rise. At new York superfine States Flour had risen to 4d. 50 c. being about 20s. per barrel, and other sorts had realized corresponding rates. The prices asked being generally above the limits of the orders received from England, the shipments had not been large. Z,

OFT Monday last a tradesman of respectability in St. Mary's parish caused quite a sensation amon- his neighbours by his absence from his usual pursuits, which they found was or casioned by his having that morning eloped with the female domestic servant of a gentleman siding in the London-road.

Mr Orr remarked tW doubtless poor people had often much difficnltv in making up their minds to get married in sequence of their not having the means to nroviH« the clothes suitable for the nuptials; and added that he would certainly keep the fact in view making h^s mil.

The ages of the various claimants had accordingly to be ascertained- and on the 25th ult. the very Yntere^ of measuring the damsels took place at the manse in the presence of the parish minister and otheJ 5 gentlemen. There was a good deal of anxietv manifested as may be supposed, by the fai? candi dates and as each nymph was subjected to the guage the scene became particularly excitin"- The result we give :-Tbe tallest measured five feet six inches, the shortest five feet; the youngest was 23, the oldest 29 years of age. The priles were then handed over to the blushing competitors; and after having resumed their bonnets and boots they each, with a curtsey and ■thank ve" re- retired.— Arbroath GI6ide.
