Sunday morning the Jura, Capt Chambers, arrived in port from London, having sailed from the Downs on 3(rd October, sighted Madeira on the. 6th, and the Line on the 3rd November, sighted Trinidada on the 11th, passed the Cape on December Ist, and made Van piemen’s Land on 29th, from which place she head winds, as far down a,s the Three . Kings, which place she made on January 15th, and arrived in port on Sunday morning, between 10 and 11 o’clock. The Jura experi- '• enced light winds down the Coast; she is in good condition, and all on board healthy. NJMRQUD, The sh.i,p signalised on Monday evening was the anxiously looked for Nimrotid, she came alongside the Wharf abavt 11 p.m. She left Plymouth on 12th September, sighted the Deserters on the 5Ri October, and San Antonio on the 13th, crossed the Line on the 23rd, and the Meridian of the Cape on the 22nd Nov., made the Three Kings on the 14th instant. We are sorry to have to record the death of a passenger, Mr Duncan John McNeill, who unfortunately fell overboard and was drowned or the night of the 18th Nov. PRINCE ALEREP. On Tuesday morning about 4 o’clock, the. s.s. Prince Alfred, Captain Bowden, arrived in port from Sydney, having left on the 11th inst., making the passage in 5 days and 7 hours.

NEWS. ’ (From Old Folks at Home, Liverpool, Nov. 10th.) Since the loss of the Roval Charter, there has been a succession of gales along the coast,, by which losses have been very severe.. The Great Eastern had a narrow eoape during the gale while at Holyhead; she has since gone to Southampton The Times appears to think her deficient in power. Messrs. Wilson & Chamber's splendid Australian clipper White Star had a paroow escape of getting on a bank in the river during the gale. The African steamer, which left Liverpool, had to put into Pudstow, having lost captain and two officers in the Channel. The Peleux was lost off the Isle of Wiy lit on the Ist, the captain states that he never saw worse weather in the Eastern or Chinese Seas. A great number of vessels lost in different places, names unknown. A foreign burque was totally lost on. the Bimbo Bank, Liverpool, on Monday. We trust none of the Australian ships will prove to be missing. The Blue Jacket, White Star New Zealand packet of the 25th inst.,.is filling up well, and will have nearly 300 passengers—saloons and second cabin have been all taken up for some time. Next vessel of this line will be Jannary 25th. The vessels of this line now loading for Melbourne and Sydney need no comment—-a reference to vessels loading will show the superiority in tonnage over London vesssels, and as to speed there is no comparison. The Beejapore will sail Nov. 20th, Beechworth, Dec. Ist, Empire of Peace, Dec. 20th, Red Jacket, Jan. 20th. for Melbourne; and Fitz-James Nov 15th, and Dirigo, Dec. 17th for Sydney, and Blue Jacket, Nov. 25th. Telegraph, Jan, 10th, for Auckland and Wellington. The Wreck of the Royal Charter,—A gentleman who leftMoelfra Bay on Wednesday morning states that qn Tues Jay another body—that of a man—was washed up from the wreck- With the exception of Mr. Foster, for Manchester, and the divers, all the strangers have lett the scene of the late dreadful catastrophe. Mr Foster, however, continues in the most persevering manner to walk along the beech every niorning, fqr the distance of five miles, in the Lope of recovering the dead body of his wife.

The divers says that the wreck lies in a very intricate and, to them, dangerous heap. They wall; beneath parts of the heavy machinery of the ship, and have to grope their wav amidst ironwork.

The splendid steering apparatus has been recovered by the man in charge of “the lump.” 19,010 plates and bars of copper, weighing about 13| tons, have been recovered ; and the total amenut of money found on the beach and on the persons on the drowned who have been washed ashore is £2«O 13s. .’id, MANNING THE NAVY. The navy service of Gre.ir, Britain Britain stands alone amongst the institutions of the world in permitting those who have once engaged themselves for the national defence to quit their post almost without notice, and without any practical means of recall. It is hard that we should be compelled in times of security to incur the expense of a navy three or four times larger than our wants, merely that we may keep together men not wanted at the moment for public exigencies, and urgently required for private enterprise, but whom we maintain in useless and expensive inactivity, lest we should at a future time find them necessary to our safety. Surely some middle course might be adopted, between burdening ourselves with the entirecharge of these men and dismissing them altogether. If every seaman who had once entered the royal navy should, on his discharge, receive a certain amount of pay, on condition of not undertaking distant voyages, aud consenting to be forthcoming when wanted we should not only be able to secure a sufficient number qf men who should be practise! in their business, and prepared without further instruction to face the enemy. Foreign nations, exultant in their standing armies, are apt to boast that the old Roman times are revived, when the fortunes af naval combat are in the hauds, not of the siilor but of the soldier. The opinion may be exaggerated, but there is mucli truth in it. There is no doubt whatever that military qualities are more necessary to to those who shidl hereafter engage in a sea-fight, than they have been at any period in modern history. Wc are ourselves sufficiently conscious of the fact to take immense pains in training our seamen in gunnery mid the use of wen; ons of war, It js the height of folly to thiow lessons away. On the other hand to keep the same amount of naval force whatever may be the circumstances of the moment, is a poltoy to which the country uever will submit. Nothing remains bpt to adopt some middle course. We cannot retain our seamen by the continental plan of conscription. The only alternative is that of continuing to pay them, upon the condition of securing tbeir services when they are demanded. What should be the regulations under which they are paid, or or the amount of payment, are matters of detail, but the adoption of the principle is our single choice between losing our men altogether, or keeping up a force utterly dispro|s>rtiomite to the wants of the moment: Most d—suredly the country ought not to incur the risk of the one, and as certs uly will nut Incur the expense of Ihe other,

CAPTAIN HARRISON, OF TRE GREAT EASTERN At a very early ago Captain Harrison, whose nautical preselections were irrepressible, selected the profession he his eyer since followed. It was In the East aud West Indies, end on the coast of South America, that the earlier years of bis career were passed. Subsequently, lie went into the service ef the Cunard line of Atlantic steamers, and continued in this position for the fifteen years immediately preceding his engagement with the Eastern Navigation (or the Great Ship) Company. During this period he commanded several well-known vessels. It was during his command on tfie Cunurd line that some of thU gentlemen connected with the direction of the Great Ship, and also with that qf the Grand Turk of Canada Line, having frequent occasion to cross the Atlantic, .had opportunities of observing' the abilities of Captain Harrison. and the result wasau overture to take charge of the Leviathan then building. Captain Harrison is a little more than midway between 4.0 and 50; hiaeye quick, sharp, and penetrating ; bis head, voice, and general bearing denotingrapid perception and quick determination ; his, manner remarkably straight forward, honest and courteous.

IMPERIAL TO AN ENGLISH CAPTAIN.

The French emperior has recently awarded a medal of honor to Captain Paul, commander of the South-Eastern, company's steam-packet Lord Warden, plying between Folkestone and Boulogne, for having gallantly rescued the crew of a French fiisbing boat in distress in the month of November last.
