ARRIVAL OF THE ONEIDA." FIFTEEN DAYS LATER NEWS

FROM ENGLAND.

THE 0NEIDA, steamer, with the Governor of Victoria, Sir H. BARKLY, and suite on board, came to anchor in Hobson's Bay at ten o'clock last night, having made a splendid run from Southampton of sixty four days. The length of time during which the Oneida was actually under weigh was only fifty-three days : eleven days were spent in coaling at St. Vincent, St. Helena, and the Cape

On the arrival of the Oneida at the Heads" a telegraphic message, announcing that the Governor was at hand, was despatched to Melbourne, and was immediately forwarded to Mr. HAINES, Mr. STAWELL, and Mr. CHILDERS. The last named gentleman went on board the vessel in Hobson's Bay. It is arranged, we believe, that Sir H. BARKLY will land this morning at eight o'clock, and will proceed directly so Toorak. The ceremony of swearing in the Governor is expected to take place to-day.

We are indebted to the courtesy of Captain Hydes, of the Oneida, for English papers to the 18th of October, being fifteen days later than our previous novices from Great Britain. The probabilities of a rupture between the Allied Powers and capes appear to be on the increase and it is stated that all chance of an ami-cable settlement is at an end ; while the recall of the French Minister from the capital of the Two Sicilies is said to be determined upon. The following are the

LATEST TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES THE AFFAIRS OF NAPLES.

'The, answer of the Neapolitan Government

to the last note presented by Baron Brenior is expected In Paris from one moment to an-others It, is not anticipated that it will be

satisfactory, As soon as it is received the

Moniteur will publish an article on the Neapolitan question, giving, it is said, full infor matión at least as full information as it is the practice of the Government to do. The recall óf M. Brenier is considered certain. It

is believed that the Government will be glad to get out of the affair as soon, and of course as well, 'as possible, and that a very moderate concession would satisfy it. King Ferdinand, of course, knows his advantage and the forbearance shown towards them will no doubt be interpreted to unwillingness to brave the consequences of a revolutionary movement. " A diplomatic dinner was given on Thursday at the hotel of the Foreign Ministers' Paris, Among the guests was the Neapolitan Ambassador, M. Antonini, who, to all appearance, was as tranquil' and as much at his eagerness Naples and the Allies Vero the best friends in the world. Another Neapolitan of. rank, the Prince of San Giacomo,'

was also present.

The Morning Post's Paris correspondent writes on Thursday evening, that he under stands that both the English and French squadrons had received orders to approach Naples., The allied admirals would discountenance any demonstration on the part of the Neapolitans, and the people must leave their cause entirely in the hands of England and France.

SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS PASSING BE it TWEEN FRANCE AND RUSSIA.

II The Times' Vienna correspondent writes on

the 12th that the Austrian Government strongly suspects that there is something passing between France and Russia which is kept from Austria and England. More than any foreign diplomatist is inclined to believe that, a project for a future of alliance between u Napoleon and Alexander has already been brought forward.

THE SUCCESSION TO THE GREEK 1 s i THRONE.

' The- statement that Prince Adalbert would I not submit to the conditions contained in Art 40 of the Greek Constitution, requiring, that the sovereign of that country shall belong to the Greek Church, is unfounded, bays a. letter from Munich. By a positive declaration of that kind he would only furnish an opportunity to the Powers that signed the protocol of London to waterhole in the question of the creek succession,. Art. 8 of the treaty of May 7, 1832, states that in the event of King Otho dying without heirs, the crown shall go to his brother Luitpold. It is possible that Prince Luitpold may renounce the Crown, but he has three sons, and the question is, whether his 'renunciation eau prejudice their rights. Negotiations are now going on on the question of the succession, but these negotiations take place without the intervention of Austria, and all the good offices generally attributed to that Power are mere inventions.

! PIRACY" BY MALAYS.

Accounts J have besmirched ved at Amstel!-' dam, detailing the seizure of the ship Twenlhe, from Rotterdam, to Batavia, by a portion of the crew. The vessel had been picked up and taken into Rio Janeiro by the TbtWaj^Frenoh ship,- The crew-wero-in-a-most lamentable condition but had received every attention.

She was fallen in with on the 12th August, about twenty leagues south ofMadoiia.on Tito The Talisman took off the master, his wife and nine" bands, four of them (the master, mate, and two sailors) severely wounded. Her crew originally consisted of thirty-three, of whom twenty-three were Malays. Whoa GfiPlIaderia the latter revolted, overcame the Dutch crew, fastened them in the cabin, set fire to 'fife vessel, had escaped in two of the boats. taking with them water, provisions, and clothes.!

It will be remembered that we reported the finding of a boat with twenty-three Malays on board; as having arrived at Madeira under very suspicious circumstances, and that the local autliorltic8Lhadiplaced the whole in confinement. The whole affair is now explained, and it is to be hoped that these diabolical wretches vi will meet with their deserts for their committal', in intention of one of the most revolting murders on record.

A letter of the 7th from Forli, in the Papal States, states that on the 5th instant (Sunday) a conflict of a somewhat serious nature took place between spine of the citizens and the gendarmerie, at a place called Moldavia, about ten miles distant from this city.

It appears that two young men, one of whom was smoking a pipe, were going by the barracks of the Gendarmerie. These ordered him to discontinue smoking, but he persisted. Some of the genius lies ran out and followed the young man to a neighbouring cafe, where they fell upon him with repeated blows His comrade on this told the 'gendarmes that, while they had a perfect right to arrest any one as soon as they found that he had committed a breach of the regulations or laws,

they had no right to maltreat then prisoner.' The gendarmes responded to this with insults and blows. The young than partook, in fact, the fate of his companions and they were arrested together.' The 'j cung men of the district excited by what had happened repaired

Chairman proposed -the usual loyal iotfetpMand among others " Her Majesty's 63 vernment' coupled with the name of Mr. BowWd- "-ill, and stated that he was convinced that no Government that this country Swansea had the interests of the people more at heart than the administration of which Lord Palmerston is at the bread,

Mr. Rowland Hill acknowledged the toast

and stated that the Government, in entering into this contract for the' conveyance of mails to Australia, desired to consult only the heat entreaties the people of that country and of the colonies. Their only wish was to obtain the speediest and most regular transmission of the, mails between the two countries. Sonvetlilug had been lately said to him about the establishment of the ocean penny postage, the idea of f-which emanated from a friend of laid, Elihu 'Burritt: Hudsons remarks had been made on the fact that, an ocean penny postage 0 had been already established ttttfeeiithe United States and Australia. But the fact was that, although only a penny was -paid for the transmission of a letter by sea, It

was still subject to an inland late of lid, in r the United States and another of 3d, in the colonies, making GJd. for the entire transmission;

whereas, by the mail now about to be ö established from this country, the whole charge would be only 6d. per letter, so that of term Was country had in reality approached

nearer, to an ocean penny postage than the

United States.

'The Chairman next proposed the "Two Houses of Parliament and coupled with the toast the name of Mr.. Lindsay.

- Lindsay, Esq, MP., replied to the toast . The

Mayor of Southampton proposed "Success to the European and Australian J!oy»15Mail Company." ?

and. J. P/ondeiMaf Manchester, one of the directors, acknowledged the toast. In launching that company it was not only essential in that country, but in Australia as well, that it should possess the public confidence, and that would not be the case unless they had full confidence in themselves, Now was the determination of the company, not only to irritate confidence of their friends on both sides of the globe, by devoting all 4hcir,enorgies to the prompt and effectual car lying out of the scheme in it's entirety, but so to blend the interests of the colonists with those of the mother country, in the details and working of the affairs of the company, as to afford perfect satisfaction to both in re-spect to the gigantic mercantile, financial, and exchange transactions, which, 'now pass be then England and it's southern dependencies. He would also express his gratification that the contract' had been obtained by a company formed on the banks of the Glyde-the tery ciftdleofsteamnavigntioniaildhothought that" the fact was a, proof that everything would be done to carry out well and efficiently an object which represents an, important step in human progress. (Applause.) Mr..

Rowland Hill gave '" Success to the. Australian Colonies,'! saying that to him the best test of the prosperity of a colony was the number of letters which it produced, and in that respect Victoria, which only twenty years ago was visited for the that time by a, European settler, stood pre-eminent among the colonies The Australian colonies did not want assistance from the Government of that country, but no better mode of uniting the sympathies of the colonies and the mother country could be, devised than the siicedv'bonveyahce of letters betweomtlihtn, and that was supposed to be done by the OoveUimoiifc in the present contract. He could also say that having known tile ii JW Governor of Victoria, Sir Henry Barkly, ft on a boy, he knew that no man was better fitted furthermost for which had been selected than he was, and he would unite with the toast of " Success to the Australian Colonies" the name of Sir Hunt v Barkly.'' (Applause)

Mr. Youl, of Tasmania, the, Secretary to the General Postal Association, acknowledged the toast, and expressed his gratification at what had been done by the Government for the conveyance of the mails to the colonies ; the route chosen, he believed was the right one, being ten days shorter than any other. At. a proof of the necessity of a rapid inter change of letters between this, country and Australia, he states that there were between 3,500 and 2,000 Australian children Europe', for the purpose of education, and how important it was that there should be au'cnsyinttj.r-J communication. between those children and then parents, and how calculated the facilities, of communication, between the two countries were to" generate bl those children feelings, and habits which would draw them closer to England- Independently, therefore, of its commercial benefit, frequent and speedy postal communication was thus productive of Focal alTd political results which every colonist, and every Englishman must desire to promote. He would advocate the. merits of the toil te" to Australia by way of Southampton Alexandria, and Suez, because it was practically quicker by ten days than that by way of Panama or the Cape of Good Hope, He concluded by proposing, " The health of Sir. Ewing, the (foreman of the new company. (Great cheering.)

Mr. Ewing begged to return his warm thanks for the manner in which they had received the toast When that Company first jnidertcfok to convey the mails to Australia in a limited time, they know they had a great Work to perform, and they were determined to carry it out in the way in which ought to be done.

Ho we begged to thank'them'again in his own name and that of the Directors for the kind manner in which they had! received the toast great cheering.) . sum (Mr. Galbraith, the manager of the Company, proposed. The health of Captain Hyde, the commander of the Oneida." ,"He said the company had selected, Captain Hyde out of a host of gentlemen, and he believed they had got the right man in the right; place. He was

every inch a sailor, and a good many feet a gcntleman" (Laughter and cheers.)

Captain Hyde begged to return, thanks for the manner in which Mr. Galbraith had spoken of him and the ways in which it had been received, There might have been a better man selected, but one more sincerely devoted to their service they could not have chosen. (Cheers) Mr Galbraith said he had been a good seaman. He was happy to say that be hád'mddo'many voyages to Australia with entire success, and in less time than any. other manifesto trusted that he should have health aftfl''gtrbngth to perform his ditty to the Company and the public in general. He believed the Oneida to be a good ship- he had every confidence in her, and he hoped he should, in commanding her,-rcalise their expectations, when they placed confidence in him. (Applause.)

If Mr. W. Lindsay rose to propose the toast of

Success to Emigration, and in doing so would take the opportunity of praising the Company's ships. They had to look at the comfort of the passengers as well as the stowage of merchandise, and find performed that duty effectually. Two of the Company's ships had been in the service of the French Govern-front, and no two ships had performed their work more efficiently. He would remark of the Directors that they were not mere speculators, but a few men of substance, who had been the architects of their own fortune. They were or that order of men who had made England

great, and he was sure that if any man could carry out that undertaking their Dl

directors would do so, and perform their sons were: with honour and success. (Applause). This line would open an immense extent of

coùntry that was never known before, and he believed that at least 15,000 children would be brought by it to be educated in Europe. He would propose the toast of ' Success to Emi-gration,"coupled with the name of Mr. Donald

Mackay of Liverpool, a Director of the Black Ball Line of Packets to Australia.

Mr. MacKay, in reply to the toast, said he would not affect to be insensible to the import-ance of the Black Ball line of packets, with

which he was connected, but he must admit '?? the great comforts afforded by this line. Nothing had so marked the reforms of the last : fifteen years as the provision for the carrying of emigrants. Mr. Mackay then, wight into a

detail of the miseries of the old ships, or boxes ' rather; in which the poor emigrants suffered ' from want- of ventilation|--from hunger and

from fever, the miserable vessel-being,'îto recently scarcely better than,rä;pesthöÜ8B,, and) the deaths frightful in number. He contrasted that-state of things with the comfort and health enjoyed by the emigrants now not one) of whom died on an ordinary voyage;" He

spoke of the increasing trade,of.Australian

wireless exports were £50,000 a day, and would) I amount to twenty millions a year. After some further statistics, he concluded hydro posing "A free and independent Press" to which Mr. Falvey responded.
