EXTRAORDINARY VOYAGE. A VESSEL BROUGHT FROM THE WEST INDIE8 BY TWO MEN. Oil Tuesday evening, the schooner Whim, Capt, Kerridge, belonging to Harwich, arrived in the West India Import Dock from St. Domingo, with a cargo of mahogany, after a passage ot 64 day.. The voyage wa* performed under the most extraordinary circumstances, and is, we believe, unparalleled in the annals of navigation. The crew of the Whim, on leaving St. Doiningo, consisted of five per- sons—viz :-the captain, mate, two men, and a boy. Four days after Failing, the mate, George Strutt (unmarried, but the only support of a widowed mother), caught a severe cold during a succession of tremendous gales, which prevented him from at. tending to his duly, and notwithstanding the usual remedies, wh'ch were kindly furnished by the cap- tain, he gradually got worse, and on the twelfth day he espired. Next morning his body was con- signed to a grave in the abys" of the ocean, the prayers for the dead having been previously read over by the master. A few days after the death of the mate, ono of the seamen, named Michael Shey, a native of Kiusule, Ireland, "8" attacked with a lingering disease, and being confined to his ham- mock in the forecastle, he was uuahle to perform any kind of duty. In this state he arrived with the vessel in the West India Import Dock. About this time of the mate's death the apprentice got also dis- abled, in consequence of a severe ulcerated leg, which made him unable to stand, and he, too, has been brought home an invalid, and it is feared am putation of the leg will become necessary to save his life There was now only left the captain and one seaman, named John Lilly, 'o bring the schooner to England, a distance of nearly 4,000 miles! This they deemed a task almost impractica- ble; but a their own lives, vessel, and valuable cargo must be sacrificed if they did not persevere, Captain Kerridge, and his only remaining seaman (Lilly), resolved on prosecuting at all hazards the voyage. The weather was at the advanced period of the season, unusual'y tempestuous. Captain Kerridge stating that he never experienced such a continuation of heavy gales, at times approaching to a hurricane. Strange to state, Captain Kerridge did not have a chronometer on board the Whim, and his arrival from St. Domingo, under all these ex- traordinary circumstances is almost a miracle. The schooner and her valuable cargo, are, we under- stand, pai tly insured, and as the owners, under- writers, and others, have been. by Cap'. Kerridge's unexampled courage and indomitable perseverance, as also that of Lilly, the seaman, prevented from sustaining a heavy loss, it is to be hoped that such uutiriug zeal, suffering and fatigue, will not be permitted to go unrewarded. The above facts are specially deserving the kind consideration of Lloyd's-

THE QUEEN DOWAGER. SUDBURY, SCVBAY, Nov. 28. Since tbe suspension of the official announcements, by which the public were to a c.-rtain extent informed of the progress of the disease at present afflicting the Queen Dowager, the anxiety to learn what improve- ment has taken place in Her Majesty's health is not in the smallest degree lessened, but, on the contrary, manifests itself more strongly, if possible, than be- fore. The very circumstance of the suspension of the bulletins has, indeed, bad the effect of conveying to people's minds here the consolatory assurance that a change for the better In Her Majesty's condition had occurred, and that all apprehension bad ceased to be felt. It is gratifying for me to Aate, that the reports respecting the Queen Dowager's health, which get into circulation in this little village, are of the most encouraging description. On Friday last, Her Ma- jesty, as I informed you in my last communication, felt herself strong enough to sit up for some time, and in the course of the day she was, under the advice oi her physician, removed from the chamber in theupper or first floor, which she constantly occupied in Sud- bury Hall, since the commencement oT her ill. and "hich has an easterly Aspect, to a room on the ground floor, looking west, and facing the lake and terrace attached to the house. Besides the advantage which might be expected from change alone to an invalid who has been confined for weeks to the same chamber, it was conceived, I understand, that the new room prepared for Her Majesty's reception would be more convenient and comfortable in many respects, especially as from its position in the house it was better fitted than the chamber on the upper story to retain a steady and uniform temperature. This re- moval was effected with every care and attention, and, most fortunately, without causing any aggrava- tion of the Queen Dowager's illness. Indeed, on the Friday night, after the change of rooms had taken place, Her Majesty had the benefit of a sleep of many hours, which tended greatly to refresh her. In the course of yesterday, the Queen Dowager again sat up for a long time, and had acquired so much strength that she was able, 1 am informed, to walk to and fro across the room, and this morning, the reports, which I trust to-morrow's bulletin will verify, are that Her Majesty has passed another good night. Though still occasionally harassed by her cough, this complaint, I am told, is to a certain axtcnt miti- gated, and is becoming more similar to the character it bore before the present serious attack of iltuess.- (From the Times Correspondent.)

THE BREVET, The Supplement to the London Gazette of Tues- day, November 23, containing the anticipated brevet, was looked for with the greatest allxidy hy both branches of the service, and has fully realised the expectations anticipated with regard to its extent and the nr-xt Gazette of promotions, which will take place at the earliest possible period, will contain a greater amount of uames, as several of those who have been advanced a step will retire upon full pay, and be succeeded by others, whose advancement will create vacanoies and new appointments.

SO Lieutenants to be commanders. 80 Mates to be lieutenants. With reference to a paragraph in the pipers re- specting the Bishop of Jerusalem, it may be inte rest- ing to the public to know, that 17 or 18 years ago his lordsli ip was tile Officiatitl, rabbi of a synagogue at Plymouth. He was baptised at Plymouth by the Rev. Mr. Hatchard, and received orders at the hands of tbe late Archbishop of Tuam, in the Church of Ireland, a church claiming the purest apostolic descent, unstained by Popery. He is of pure Hebrew descent, of the tribe of Judah. Mrs. Alexanders is also of the purest Hebrew blood, and of the tribe of Levi thus uniting in one the royal and the priestly tribes. Mrs. Alexander was baptised about a year after her husband. Their eldest boy, whose name is Michael, is a student in Christ's Hospital. On the day following the consecration, his lordship gave a most sun-ptuous entertainment to upwards of a hundred baptised Hebrews, chiefly ol bumble life, by whom the health of The Lord Bishop of the United Church of England and Ireland in the countries of Syria, Chaldea, Egypt, and Abyssinia," was drank with enthusiastic Plymouth Paper. FIRE AT THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.— On Saturday evening, shortly after tight o'clock, considerable alarm was occasioned in the neighbour- hood of Lincoln's-inn-fields by the discovery of a hre on the basement story of the spacious premises on the south side of the square, known as the Royal College of Surgeons. The flames when discovered were raging at the rear, near Portugal-street, and for some time assumed a most alarming aspect. Within a few mi- nutes after the alarm had been given the engine of *i.~ u~; r u~iu^ i Hit; UHgtiuc 1IUIIJ tiic innuuiii station was uroi^KiJl Dy hand to the spot, and there being a plentiful supply of' water, was quickly got into operation on the, fl' iiieg. The St. Clement's parish engine, with tb'jSe 0f the brigade from Chaiid,)s-strect, Farritig(il"i-street, Wat. ling-street, and other stations, ailll' those of tbe ouuty and West of England Fire-offices, followed in rapid succession, and by nine o'clock all danger of the fire extending was put an end to The place wheie the fire o-ecurred is under the museum, and was ust-d for the purpose of the institution, as well as for makJg boxes. The ceiling is composed of arched brickwork, through which the flames could not have penetrated; but there is no doubt, had not extraor- dinary exertions been used by the firemen, police, &c., they would have extended along the passages, and, eventually, into the main building. We understand the whole of the property is insured. In the Bail Court on Snturdav, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd moved for a rule nisi, calling upon the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Company to show cause why a mandamus should not issue", to compel the summoning of a jury in a case now at issue between that Company and Mr. B. Guest, a gentleman residing at Edgbaston, near Birmingham. It nppearod from the affidavits, that the Company b td carried their railroad over certain meadows the pro- perty of Mr. Guest; and by their works constructed therein during the spring of 1839, had seriousiy l damaged the irrigation. A long correspondcBee iiad followed, in the course of which the Compete y had repeatedly promised to restore the float; but nothing had been done unt i I the spring of tbia yr-ar ,beji some slight alterations had been made, thf.t in Lile end proved utterly worthless. Mr. Guest craved the Company with the notice required by THE Act of Parliament, on the 25th of October; but was unable to obtain any answer until the 16th of the present mouth, when he was offered a much smaller sum thall that lie had claimed. This offer was at once rejected and a demand made on the part of Mr. Guest, tli;it a jury should be forthwith summoned to assess the compensation due to liiiii. Another formal demand was made at the last meeting of the Directors, on Tuesday, the 23d inst. when it was intimated, that an explicit answer would be expected that evening. On application at the Company's offices late that night, it was stated that the Directors had given no instructions upon the subject Under these circumstances the Learned Sergeant appre- hended the Court would feel no difficulty in imme- diately granting the rule. Rule grinted. TI)c Learned Sergeant then moved for a similar rule on behalf of the tenant, Mrs. West, which was like- wise granted.

Mozon's Effervescent MagDesian Aperient. a For Indigestion, Bilious Affections, Pains in the Head, Sick Headache, Casual or Habitual Cos- tiveness. Nausea, Sickness, Heartburn, Piles, Fistula, Derangement of the Stomach and Head caused by excess either of eating or drinking, and especially as a preventive and safe remedy for the Gout; RKCOMM ENDED BY Dr. GRAHAM, Author of '• Domestic Medicine Dr. TPRNMILL, of Russell-Square, London; Dr. WILSON. of London, Author of a work on the application of Vapour, dedicated to Dr. Macartney, of Dublin Drs. HARE, ARDEN, REECE, and by the FACULTY in general. THIS elegant preparation of Magnesia, the result of much study and rxpe>intent, is fast, superseding all other medicines of its das, and is now very generally acknowledged to be the best purgative ever introduced as a public medicine. The almost un- precedented itale which it has obtained, has aroused the cupidity of many unprincipled persons, who are Always ready to Take advantage of the popularity of another's invention and this medicine has therefore beQ extensively imitated by Compounds possessing none of its properties. Purchasers can only relv tiport the Government Stamp, which, in the genuine article, has 11 Moxon and Smith, (then co-partners) fhemists, Hull, engraved on it. This is the only certain proof of the genuine preparation. It, possesses* all the efficacy of the most approved Saline Purgatives, without the disagreeable taste which reudcrs such medicines so obnoxious to the palate and stomach; and is universally allowed, by all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all other medicines as a FOIILY PURGATIVE. And as an invaluable companion to the traveller, par- ticularly those visiting tropical cottaitries; the sportsman, the delicate female, the s;-(Iciitary stit(leiit, and to all persons subject to irregularities of the bowels, and the disorders resulting therefrom. A teaspofxiful taken after any excess, either in eating or drinking, will restore the tone of the *'o:nach, and relieve all unpleasant symp- toms. If taken regularly for time previous to the usual time of experiencing a fit of Cout, it will general:y prevent, and always mitigate the severity of the attack, without that injury to the coii,%tittition which is c()ns(o quent upon the use of colchicum and other strong sedatives. To those affi,cted bv Indigestion, Bilious Disordt rs. Sick Headache, and all other affections caused by an imperlect performance of the functions of the digestive organs, it affords a pleasant and effectual reineOy, its operation being at once effective and unattended bj (rriping or other unpleasant symptoms.

We regret to announce the sudden death of the Earl of Hnrewood while on his way home after bunt- ing. His Lordship was in his 74th year, having been born in December, 1?67. He married in 1794 Henrietta, eldest daughter of the late Sir John Saunders Sebright, who died in February last year. He has left a large family, his eldest son, Viscount Lascelles, being in his 46th year. The only appoint- ment vacated by his death is the Lord Lieutenancy of the West Riding of Yorkshire. MURDER BV A Boy,-A boy only ten years of age, named George Barber, has been committed to Norwich gaol for trial, on a charge of murdering a boy one year younger named Smith. The little wretch has since confessed. It appears that there had been a sortol quarrel between the boys, and that the deceased threatened to tell his father of some conduct' of Barber's on his return home. This led to the crime A Captain lately at Brighton leaped his horse over the rails at the cliff's top, Where there was scarce room for him to stand, and afterwards told a friend that he supposed there was not another man in the Kingdom would do the like. Yes, said his friend, there are 20 in Bedlam It is stated that a commission is to be appointed immediately, to examine receivers and collectors of taxes, with a view to a reduction of the expenditure, and for the adoption of a method of discovering any illegal practices among collectors, many of whoiii have been obliged to pay heavy penalties lately, ii consequence of verdicts obtained against them in lb Court of Exchequer two are recorded of X700 j each.

THE REV. MR. SIB THORP. The Letter, which we transcribe from the Morning Post, htmded The JR.cv. Mr. Stbtliorp," i;¡ striking corroboration of our P.S., oil that subject in our last week's paper. TO THE EDITOR OF THK MORNING POST. SIR-Scpig all inquiry from a correspondent in your paper of this morning relative to the conversion of the Rev. Mr. Sibtborp and his former opinions, per- haps .the following partit-ulars, which I have the best reasons for knowing to be correct. may be acceptable. Mr. Sibtborp was, as is well known, educated at Magdalen College Oxford, but was al ways in bis youth strongly inclined to Romanist opinions, ifnot actually a Romanist. Whilst at Oxford he absented himself on one occasion without notice for a considerable pe- riod of time from his College, to the great uneasiness of his friemls. For some time his retreat could not be discovered, but at last he was found residing with a Romanist priest, I believe inYorkshire, who itappeared was previously in correspondence with him, and was then employed in instructing him in the peculiar tenets of that Clinrch. With difficulty he was induced to return to Oxford, the tutors having promised to over- look his offence. He subsequently took orders and adopted extreme opinions of the Low Church school so much so as to preach in barns and outhouses, and the open air, till fit! was inhibited from exercising his ministry both in the diocese of Lincoln and in York- shire. This, however, did not disqualify him in the opinion of that party of religionists from becoming the preacher at that well-known proprietary chapel of St. John's, Bedford-row. Aboutthistimehefettintoa. most extraordinary state of mind, and was subject to singular delusion, bordering on insanity, It was at one period a Rubjectof consultation among his friends whether he should not be put under medical and legal restraint. But a friend who knew his peculiar disposi- tion was induced to take him under his care, and in the course of two or three years he became pretty well restored. Subsequently be purchased the chapel at Hyde, and commenced there again with Evangelical views, of the unsoundness of which, how ever, he speed- ily became, convinced. He gradually subsided into a religious profession peculiarly his own, which combined ultra-Churchism with all the narrowness of mind of the school he had quitted. With all his popularitv and deep religious feelings, he was, I fear, one of those who always had a doctrine, on interpretation" of their own. I cannot but think he is a striking instance of the rottenrcss and instability of Low Church opin- ions, which, proceeding from, and centering in, self, af- ford no ground whereon to resist the assaults of the Romanist, who opposes (falsely and deceitfully, but yet often effectively) what he denominates the Catho- lie Church to the wretched" private interpretations" of enthusiastie and unlcarnpd illdifiduals. Primitive Catholicism alone furnishes such a resting place, whence may be defied equally the innovations of the Romanist and of the Evangelical persuasion. But it would be wrong to be too severe on a man of undoubted piety and sincerity in his religious feel- ings, wavering and extravagant as they appear to have been. It is not improbable that a return of his former delusions may have occasioned the change (for conver- sion I cannot call it) which we have recently heard of- I is certain that, up to the very latest period, none of his friends were aware of his intentions, and always repudiated with indignation the accusation that he was verging towards Romanism. His absence was accounted for by the fact that he had gone to inspect a living which was offered for his acceptance hv his college. Let us hope that this cloud may pass away from him and that the Romanist new Church at Bir- mingham may yet be disappointed of its expectant pastor.-I am, Sir, yours, &c., DISCIPULUS ECCLESI/E ATNGLICANJE, AND M.A. OF OXFORD.

SALE OF THE LATE THEODORE HOOK'S DRAWINGS AND PAl NTIXGs.-The fourth and last day's sale of the late Theodore Hook's property was devoted to his fine prints, miniature portraits, and highly-finished drawings and paintings. Among a very numerous collection, there were works by the following artists r —viz-, Prout, Turner, Chelly. Westlake, Brandredt,' Beltz, Owen, Atkinson, Hamilton, He Write, Reinagle, Hunt, Fielding, &c. Mr. Edmund[Room's were on the occasion, crowded bv admirers of the deceased wit and many individuals appeared very anxious to possess themselves of mementos of a man; who was wont to "set the table in a roar." "Alas poor Vorick At one period of the day, it was very difficult to gain admittance to the great auction room, and the auctioneer's labours were much lightened by the readiness in bidding evinced on many occasions. It was evident the name of the deceased author bad invested the sale with all additional excitement, and more tlllm usual competition (that end and aim of all the gentlemen of the hammer) was the result. Lot 486, print, "The Congress of Vienna," WIIS sold for £ 6. Lot 489, whole length portrait of Geo. IV., <f8 18s 6J. 496.

The foregoing are a few only of the most prominent objects and ¡dthou!t' we cannot avoid deploring the necessity which caused its sale, we rejoice to add, in conclusion, was exce^edinglv well disposed of. LLANGOLLEN Intelligence of a serious affray with po,tellers in Wynnstav park has been just re- ceived through tbe inedir m 0f j0hn Kyfftn, Esq.,su- pertntendent of police. From what has transpired it appears that infoTBaa'jon had been forwarded to Mr. Holt, Sir 'at, shead gamekeeper, that a gang of six ov seyeix I-,achers were carousing at a publi c- liouse at KK on Tuesdav evening, and nurn'.sed visiting Sir Watkin's preserves that night. Accord- lie -aiid five or six of his men were on the watch. In the course of the night, or early on Wednesday morning, they met at a gate of the preserves, where- upon one of the poachers shot at the foremost keeper, and wounded him in the foot and leg, which fell,-d him to the ground. On recovering he levelled his I pipce at the depredator, nv.(] seypre',v wounded him in the abdomen. His life is despaired of. Ont-oftho poachers, bpsides the or,e wounded, has been enptured, and the police are out" in all directions in pursuit of the other fugitives,—Carnarvon Herald. ARRIVAL OF THE GIIEAT WESTERN.—The Great TIcstern arrive^ at New York nine hours before the intelligence (-,f the safe arrival of the Britannia at Boston ..enr'ned that city, notwithstanding the Britannia sailed from England two days before the Great IF,cstei-n, and the distance to New York is two' hundred and forty miles further. From the fact,. that hy Cutiard's line of fast-sailing steamers the CO In III, -1 llic;itioll between Liverpool and Halifax is frequ ently accomplished in ten lhvs, persons not in the habit of entering into a calculation are apt to Set th? t down as the elapsed time on the passage to A merica. Halifax is, however, nearly six hundred miles nearer England than New York a ten days' passage to or from that plaee is, therefore, not to be compared with a twelve days' passage from New York. which has been often performed by the Great Western, notwithstanding she has the larger quantity of coal to carry. Passengers bound to New York, or to the South or far west of it, were in advance on the last trip 01 the Great Wentern upwards of two entire days beyond what they would have been had they gone bjr the Cunard line.

THE EXCHEQUER FRAUD. The flrst Session of the Central Criminal Court during the present Mayoralty, commenced on Mon- day last. The learned Recorder in delivering his charge to the Grand Jury. made the following allusion to the ease of Mr. Beaumont Smith:- The remaining cases to which he would direct their attention were hree charges of forgery. One was of an ordinary description, but the others were those of two persons charged with forging and uttering a number of Exchequer Bills. In order properly to elucidate the case it would be necessarv to state that such b Us were issued under nn act of Parliament passed in the 4th and 5th William IV. and by the 26th section of cap. 15 it was enacted, That from and after th* commencement of this act a!) Exchequer Bills to be thereafter made out under the authority of any act of Parliament shall be pre- pared, made out, and numbered in the office of the said Controller, at such times and in such form as the Commissioners of the Treasury shall from time to time direct and that the several regulations in relation to the making out, issuing, and paying off Exchequer Bills, which are established by an act passed in the 48th George III., entitled, 'An Act for regulating the paying off of Exchequer Bills,, or by any other act or acts with respect to the issue and application of Exchequer Bills, under the authority of such acts, shall continue in force, except in so far as the same shall be altered by any of the provisions of this act and that all such bills shall be signed by the said Controller, or in his name by his assistant, and shall be i-sued and ap- plied to the public service, at such time and in such manner as shall be directed by the Commissioners of the Treasury, or in such manner and upon such manner and upon stich authorities as shall have been specially directed with respect thereto by any act or acts now in force, the said Controller taking- care that such bills are ifiade and i-stied according to law." The act in question confirmed the 48th of George III., c. I, with respect to the issuing of Exchequer Bill*; and also direoed that all such should be signed by the Controller-General, or by his deputy in his name; and further provided for the punishment of persons convicted of forging or uttering such bills. By the second section of the last named act (the 48th of George III., cap. 1) all Exchequer Bills were ordered to be made out and signed by the auditor. The third section directed that they should he numbered in arithmetical pro- gression; directions were also laid down for the manner in which they should be paid, and that the party who paid them should endorse bis name upon the backs. The seventh section directed that the bills should be prepared with checks, counterfoils, &c., under the control of the Commissioners of the Treasury, such check" and counterfoils to be left in the custody of the auditor for the purposes of refer- ence, and in order to check the bills when presented for payment. A subsequent section declared the forgery of Exchequer Bills to be felony, without the benefit of clergy, and to be punished with death by a subsequent act, however, the capital punish- ment had been abolished, and transportation for life, or for a shorter period, or imprisonment for a period not exceeding three years, in the discretion of the Court, substituted. One of the parlies charged was represented to be a clerk in the Exchequer Bill Office, and was actually engaged in the process of manufacturing the bills previous to their being issued and the other party charged eppeared to have been perfectly congnizanl of the situation filled by the other; so that the forged bi Is passed directly from the hands of one person employed in The Exchequer Bill Office into the hands of the other party, who, it would appear, had admitted having received the bil's from a person connected with that office, and that without any consideration. It was not denied that the bills had been issued by one party and they would have to consider with respect to the other, whether it was possible he could conceive that they had been regularly issued, when he found himself receiving from a clerk in the Exchequer Bill Office, with a limited income, such bills, amounting to many thousand pounds. He had been induced to enter fully into the case, in con- sequence of its being one of a very extraordinary character. The fact of a person being found possessed of forged instruments, which under or- dinary circumstances would not, perhaps, be of much weight, might, when it shown that the forged instruments were issued by a clerk holding a situation in the Exchequer Bill Office, and received from that cleik without payment, lead to the in- ferenep that when they were uttered such person must have known that the bills were spurious, or could not have been obtained in an honest or proper manner. They would take the case into their serious consideration and they would probably feel justified in sending it for investigation before another jury in that court."
