Mr. J. M. Ba/fonr, of Whittinghame, chairman of the coop part re y, presided. The port was held as read. The CH•IIIItAN, in moving ita adoption, congratulated the shareholders that during the last half year their revenge had considerably increased; and he hoped that, from the gradual manner in which that inenase had taken place, they might Hatter themselves that it wee a permanent one. Yet they had to regret that the surplus this half year hardly bore a proportion to that Increase, and they were also sorry to say that during the peat half year there had been ems siderable extra demands on their funds ; but they hoped that in Lutist c.ises ,these would not occur in future half years. Mr. Ihrlltlr CHATTOZ, deptitrAlLiftlith, seconded the adoption of the report. Mr. AULD rose and asked Mr. Berdswell whether it was sot true that he and Mr. Davies were acting in concert with Mr. Chaytor, Vie deputy chairman of the company, in their arrangements as to the preferenre shares ? lie also in. quired of Mr. Chaytor whether, during the last twelve or eighteen months, he had employed Davies and Co., of Liverpool, to purchase stock for hint Mr. CHATTOK dee fined to answer Mr. A 1:1.13 thought it was competent to call for the books and transfers. This was a matter of great moment ; for if it could he shown that the deputy chairman of tl:e company was in league with gentlemen who were raising actions against them, he ought to be turned out of the board. Mr. Cuerros—l beg leave to say that Mr. Davies and other shareholders are carrying on their operations quite in dependently of me in every particular. Mr. AcLo—That is not an answer to me. (Cries of " Answer the question.") After wine discus/ion as to the production of the com pany's books, Ca,itain POUTER declared that there was a letter, signed " Henry Chaytor," and dated from the North British Rail way office, in the possession of n party in the room, in which it -as said that every on', of the present board ought to be turned out, and that they should have English three ton. He asked whether the shareholders would allow a gentleman to sit at the board ,who would betray them in such a meaner. _ -----.. Mr. CHATTOR—Preduee the letter. Captain PuYtsu said it would be produced in a moment if desired. He had not got it himself. but a friend had it. (Cri a of " Read it., Mr. CHATTOII—!wt ma look at it. Is it not marked private ? Mr. laicanaan said, if Mr. Chaytor authorised him ha would read the letter; but nothing should induce him to read a private communication without the consent of the writer. Mr. Acmn considered it quite evident Mr. Chaytor was afraid the letter would be read, else he would ask the gen tleman who received it to read It. Mr. SAMUSL DOUGLAS said he thought it was high time that they should get rid of a gentleman who, occupying the dignified po.itinn of deputy chairman of the company, had so far committed himself as to le.gue himself with a set of repudiators. (Mr Chaytor: I deny it.) He knew that Mr. Chaytor had been in league with a committee of which Mr. Brewster, wao had recently thrown the company into litiga tion,was a member —(Mr. Chaytor: Perfectly untrue)—and the instant that Mr. Chaytor gut into the board of directon he did what he could to meet the views of that committee, woo had reasoned that, if a delleiency in the revenge of the company should take place, the opinion of counsel should be taken as to whether the preference shareholders were entitled to arrears. lit fact, the company had been placed iu jeopardy ever sines that gentlemdu had taken his seat at the h.iard; they had never hail • peaceful moment since he was put in. Mr. CHATTOIL, who wee received with marks of disap probation, denied that he hsd anything to do with the ini tiation of the movement referred to by Mr. Douglas; or that he had been in communication, directly or indirectly, with the committee in Loonon up till February, 1852. The CIIIIIRMAN then pat the motion to adopt the report to the meeting, when the hands of nearly all present were held up. He asked for • show of hands against the motion, when three were held up. Ile declared, amidst general applause, that the report was adopted. Mr. BASDSWELL asked • scrutiny. The Cuatawote said, though he objected to the compe tency of the amendment, he hi Iteved the meeting would have no objection to grant the scrutiny. Ile accordingly took a show of hands for and against the amendment, there being four fur the amendment, and the great body of the meeting against it. The CRAIIIIIAN then proposed the nest resolution, for the_ payment of the preference dividend. Mr. CRATED& seconded the motion. The resolution was pet and carried; as also motions to appoint Mr. Samuel Douglas a director (thus augmenting the board to tea), and to re-elect the retiring directors and auditor. Mr. Dorokss then moved that this meeting, having a total want of COMMllnit in Mr. Iltril7 Chaytor, resolve that he shall be requested to resign his seat at the board. The CHAIIIMAN put the motion, which was, like the others, carried by the body of the meeting, and amidst great cheering. Mr. DOVOLAI thought Mr. Chaytor should now tell the meeting what he intended to do. Mr. CHATTOIL said had it depended on him alone, and did he not represent then • very large amount of stock, be should have little hesitation in the muter, for personally it eatatd be little object for him to continue at this board. At present, he could not give an answer. He could not de so without consulting those whom he represented. The names of the shareholders bring tailed over, scruti neers were appointed to examine the Hat and the prosier ; sad it was agreed to adjourn the meeting till Saturday at two o'clock to receive the report of the scrutineers.

The following letter contains all that is essential in the eserespoudence "Minietry of Marine, Paris, Feh. 2.5. "Sir.—The questions which you do me the honour to put ia your letter of the 19th of February might perhaps appear to me unusual if my mind really entertained the strange ideas which some persons appear to ascribe to me in England. But, far from considering these questions in discreet or inopportune, I rejoice at them, because they afford me an opportunity of giving you the complete &tearoom of my peaceful sentiments. I should consider it as the greatest of misfortunes if a-serious misunder standing should break out between the two na tions ; sad I desire with all my heart that the best intelligence may continue to prevail between them. Your newspapers make much stir about our presumed wrr like preparation.. I confine myself to declaring to you that I Dave not armed • single gunboat, stirr e d a single cannon, or equipped cannon , a single soldier. I remain the calm spectator of the enormous tepees,' which you are ranking to conjure away an imaginary danger; and I admire the facility with whi c h you augment your b udget when no real necessity prescribes it. If the members of your parliament, who are so pre-occupied with ourpr.jeet of invasion, wt old give themselves the trouble of paying us a short visit, they would be more surprised than I am myself, perhaps, at the extreme readiness with which this rumour (almost amount ing to • pleasantry) of our supposed warlike preparations has been reecived among you. I thank you, sir, for allow ing me to establish • certain degree of intercourse between us, and I beg you to accept the espres.ion of my mog distin guished sentiments.—THEUDOUE DeCOS.—Monsittlf EWArt, Membre de la Chambre des Communes, &c." IRELAND. Donau, Natter 18. The action brought by Birch, the proprietor of the late World newspaper, against the proprietors of the Freeman's Josernal, for libel, and which was to have been tried at the present assizes in Naas, broke down to day, owing to an informality on thu part of the plaintiff, the abstract of his voluminous pleas being deemed insufficient by the Court. The Lord Chief Justice declined, under these circumstances, to allow the case to proceed, and it has thus dropped for the present, the result having the same effect ass " non suit." The weather of the past week has, it is to be feared, been anything but favourable to our agricultu rists. It has certainly had the effect of throwing back the spring work by so many days, for with the heavy rains in the early part of the week and the subsequent full of snow the work done in the tields has been almost nit and it is doubtful whether the' fertilising effects attributed to snow will be sufficient to counterbalance the delay which, with so unprece dentedly late a season, must be very serious. Last nifht there was a severe frost ; and, judging from the extreme bitterness of the weather at present, it seems likely that we shall have more to-night, so that the close of the month of March has been, so far as the weigher is concerned, transformed into mid winter. In the south the season has been more ge nial, and the accounts received from Cork make no mention of any Lill of snow; while, where it has even been most severe, the farmers appear on the whole to be rather well pleased with the visi tation, as they consider that their land will be better prepared, and also that it will be cleared of insects, while they hope by greater exertions than usual to make up for the lost time. The once noisy national festival of Patrick's-day has passed off this year in a most orderly manner. The Dublin police of never exhibited less activity than since Thursday last, and if we may rely on the accounts from the country, the same sober and im proved conduct on the part of the people seems to have been general. In Belfast the occasion was ce lebrated by a dinner, at which several protestant* and presbyterians, as well as Roman catholica were present, but the chairman, who was a laymen, chose to propose the health of the Pape before that of the Queen, a course for which the Northern lirlsiy reads him, or whoever was to blame for it, a severe reproof.

The anniversary dinner of this charity was held on Saturday at the Freemaaeins Tavern, Great Queen street. It was intended that the Earl of Yarborough should have presided, but in consequence of his 1 miship's unavoidable absence from town the chair was ItlMd by Row land G. Alston, Esq. Owing, probably, to the selection of a day which, combined with the disadvantages of being the Saturday before Passion week, and the day after the ad journment of parliament for the holidays, :he attendance of the generel supporters of the institution was very scanty; but the preparation of a dinner far above the ordinary run l of such entertainments, and musical arrangements of un usual excellence, showed that the patronage which had I been afforded to the festival was solid and extensive, al -1 though the personal attendance of th e subscribers was thin. The preemies also of such artists as Sir W. C. Ross, WA, David Roberts, R.A., E. W. Cooke, A.R.A., Ilenry Werkes, A.K.A., J. F. Willmore, Alt A., Re., and who, in the course of the evening, expressed the strong sym pathy of the profession in the success of the charity, evinced a present vitaliti and • future promise, which entirely did away with any unfavourable impression that the coicir-la tively moderate assemblage at the festival was calculated to cause. It may be as well to state, that the Artists' Benevolent Fund was established in 1810, and obtained • royal charter of incorporation in 1827. It consists of two separate and distinct branches—the Artists' Annuity Fund, and the Artists' Benevolent Fund, the latter of which ex tends relief to the widows and orphans of artists. During the past year a sum of 7231. 1:54. has been paid to 49 widows of artist+, end • further sum of 1471. 10s. to 31 orphans. Tke total receipts of the past year arising from subscriptions, donations, and the dividend upon 21,0001. stock, amounted to 1,4381. 17.. 32., and after all disburse ments a balance of about 2404 remained in the hands of the bankers. The several Mute, comprising " Prosperity to the Artists• Benevolent Fund," " The Royal Academy," " The Artists' Annuity Focht," " The Art. Union of London," itc , were given with considerable power and tact by the chairman, and responded to enthusiastically both by the speakers who acknowledged them and the company ; and much gratifica• Lion appeared to be felt at the decided testimony Nov by Sir W. Roes, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Godwin, the S.cretary to the Art-Union, and several other gentlemen connected with the profession, to the very greet encouragement given at the present time to the arts in this country. The subscriptions in the room reached nearly 4001, in cluding the annual donation of 100 guineas by her Majesty ; and the festival, which opened somewhat coldly, wu de clared to have malted in a decided success.

General Ballivian, one of the most celebrated men of South America, not only as a military leader, but as a representative of democratic principles, died lately at Rio Janeiro, an exile from hie country—Bolivia. • In 1841, when that state was invaded by the armies of Peru, under command of President Gamarra, Ballivian was called front banishment, placed at the head of affair", and totally defeated the Peruvians at the battle of Yngavi, in which their general fell : it secured the nationality And in dependence of his country. During the period of his presidency, from 1841 to 1844, he promoted earnestly the exploration of the navigable rivers flowing from Bolivia into the Amazon. He encou raged European colonisation, and remodelled the system of public instruction upon the new European basis. At the end of 1847, the question with the Peruvian go- vernment relative to the port of Aries had been re.opened, and Ballivian was preparing . to settle this constant sour ce o f difference. At this critical juncture a revolt was attempted in the south of Bolivia by General Agreda, at the brad of 8,000 men. Ballivian, after a rapid march from the north in the winter season, suppressed it in the course of fifteen days • bat when on the point of returning, a revolution oc curred in the north. The result of the campaign ih the south against an enemy professing the retrograde doctrines of Old Spain proved his valour as a soldier and his skill sea general ; but it was the patriot who, at the head of a brave and conquering and highly disciplined army, preferred to sacrifice himself and retire to exile rather than involve his country in civil war, because he felt that the authors of the revolution, although personally opposed to him, were the representatives of the principles for which be had just fought. The last and mast important acts of his smile were the warning he gave while in Panama to the natives of Seuth America as to the designs of ?lore, in his last expedition against Ecuador, and the eloquent appeal he addressed to his countrymen imploring them to fm get him and their dif ' ferenees and unite in the cause of civil, political, and reli gions freedom. 'His death bee Gassed general sorrow throughout Bolivia, and General Belsa and the government, with chivalric ge nerosity, have decreed him a national funeral, ATTACK ON AN EMIGRANT SHIP.—ItHeI4OIII* been received at Lloyd's, under dote, Stanley, , Falldsad Islaada, Jen. 6, of a most daring attack on the ship Perem pas, of Liverpool, Malinger, muter, by ther ga Ztaas.

DEVONPORT SAILOEB' HOME. Rear-Admiral Paseo and Sir George Maeratb, have each erected and fur nished • cabin in the "Nelms Dormitory," in honour of their Moistness chief, and to commemorate the glorious battle in which be fell, have named both " Victory." In addition the gallant admiral has presented to the library of the institution some valuable books. It may not be generally known that it was Admiral (then Lieut. Pasco), , who, at Trafalgar, at the commend of Nelson, hoisted that ever memorable signal, "England expects every man to do his duty." EDINBURGII UNIVERSITY.—At • meeting of the Associated Societies of Edinburgh University, held on Fri day last, Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Bart., was declared duly elected as honorary president, all other proposed can didates having withdrawn. THE NEW YORK CRYSTAL PALACE,—His Royal Highness Plana Albert is among the contributors of works of art to the Industrial Exhibition about to be opened at New York on the 2nd of May next. The portraits of bet Majesty, himself, Prince Arthur, and of the late Duke of Wellington, forming the picture painted by Winterhalter, is his contribution. The Damn p ainted by Vinterhalter. is his contribution. The Barrn Marochetti has completed &Wenn equestrian statue of General Washington, which is about to be embarked for the Exhibition. Mr. Ccrew has executed • colonial sta',ue of the late Daniel Webster, fin the same plus. It re presents the American statesman in the set of addressing the senate. The State of Missouri has appropriated 4,00 ft dole. for its limper representation at the opening of the Exhibition, and Congress on the 28th of Feb. last voted 40,000 dole. to defray the expenses of the Turkish steam Rivas during her visit to the New York World's Fair. ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC. - - The first concert of this season, for the exhibition of the students of the Royal Academy, was given at the Reliever-square Rooms on Saturday morning. The prin cipal article of the programme was a large selection from Dr. Crotch's Oratorio Palestine," which occupied nearly the whole of the first part of the concert. This choice, we think, was not very judicious. Palestine was for • long time • vastly overrated work; extolled beyond its merits by our musical authorities, as being as great English work of its class ; though it time made much impression on the public. It has now found its proper level in general opinion, being deemed an orthodox composition, displaying . learning and skill, with a very small share of creative genius. It has no impress of individuality, but is in a sort of piebald styli, sometimes resembling Handel, sometimes Haydn, and sometimes Mozart. It has beauties, but then its beauties are not its own. Such a work is not fitted to be put into the hands of students, to serve them as a model or a guide in their artistic progress. Setting this aside, however, it was carefully and well performed, both in the solo and choral parts. Mr. Gray, who sustained the principal bees, is • promising young vocalist, he was very successful is the air " Ye guardian Saints," the effect of which was greatly' enhanced by the admirable meaner in which the obligate accompaniment on the harp was executed by Miss Viening, who is (we understand) a pupil of Mr. J. Bahl, Chatter ' ton. The quartet, "Lo ! star-lcd chiefs "—by far the finest ;purrs= in the whole oratorio—was very beautifully sung by Miss Spills; Miss Freeman, Mr. Boltch, and Mr. Gray. This selection was followed by Weber's Concert-Slack, played by Miss Hales. This young lady, who is • pupil of Mr. Jammu, promises to become a distinguished pianist. Her performance displayed not only clear and brilliant execution, but an excellent style and much expression. Handers famous air, " Let the bright seraphim," wassuog by Miss Bertha Street with Mr. Harper's accompaniment on the trumpet. It was, on both sides, a fine performance. In Mies Street's firm and energetic execution there was nothing of the scholar; and the illustrious Teems Harper seemed to be revived in hie sus. A leered shwas, " Glory be to the father," composed by Mr. Inge, a youth of seven teen, showed a surprising amount of knowledge and skill In contrapuntal writing. The second part of the coneert consisted chiefly of a selection from &sacred cantata, composed by Dr. Stowell (formerly a pupil and now an associate of the Academy), as an ozonise for his Doctor's degree. We have repeatedly noticed the talents of this young musician, which, we trust, an destined to bring forth good fruits. Miss Free man's singing of Meadebrohn's " But the Lord is mindful of his own ;" Mr. Coomber's execution of Moiart's Cow memo is C ; bliss Murie's performance of Haydn's " With ver dure clad the fields appear ; " and Mr. Thesis's's " Forty sixth Psalm," were satisfacry specimens of ability, both in perfarmanos used Is sampositkia. We bon be ishami that Ms satiate' seminary is is • prosperous soolitions, the umber of studeats being greater than et any former period. MORE CLOSING OF GRAVEYARDB.—From the fol -lommenicatioa, which has been received by the parochial authorities of St. Mary, Islington, it will be seen that two graveyards in that parish are among the many burial-grounds designated for closing by the Home Secre tary of State :—" Whitehall, March 17. compliance with the provisions of an act made cad passed in the 16th and 16th year of her Majesty's reign, entitled 'An Act to amend the laws concerning the burial of the dead ie the metropolis,' I hereby give you notice, by direction of Vie count Palmerston, one of her Majesty's Principal Secreta ries of State, that it is his intention to represent to her Majesty in Council that, for the protection of the public health, burials in the Roman Catholic Burial-ground of St. John the Evangelist, and in the New Bunbill-fields Bury ing-ground, in the parish of St. Miry, Islington, should be discontinued after the 31st of December nest.—l am, &c., H.

JUBILEE OF THE BIBLE SOClETT.—Yesterday sermons were preached at several hundred chapels and churches in London as well by episcopal as by non-conformist in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the British and Foreign Bible Society, established in the year 1804 for the circulation of the Holy Scriptures, without not or com ment, at home and abroad. Since its foundation the Society has promoted the distribution, printing, or translation of holy writ into 148 languages or dialects, so that it is reckoned the scriptures are now accessible to nearly sil lsevenths of the human family. From the year 1804 to the present time, the society alone has issued upwards of twenty-five million four hundred and two thousand three hundred and nine copies of the scriptures, and has been enabled to aid other societies in the distribution of about eighteen million more. In Ireland, since 1806, two million seven hundred thousand Bibles and Testaments have been dispersed. la France, since 1818, three millions have been circulated. In 1849, tw en ty- seven thousand were intro ' dared into Italy. I THE DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND'S PROTEST MEETING AT STAFFORD-HOUSE. I On Saturday last a meeting was held at Stafford house, at which were present about forty of the holies who had assembled at the same plive on Nov. 26, 1862, to pro mote an address from women of Great Britain aid Ireland to the women of the United States on the subject of slavery ; also several other ladies, members of the Society of Friends. The following report was nail to the meeting by the Duchess of Sutherland : " The general committee for obtaining signatures to the address of the women of Great Britain and Ireland to the women of America on the subject of slavery' has been assembled here this day, for the purpose of receiving the report of the sub-committee, and of giving directions for the transmission of the address, which is now ready, to the United States. The number of signatures amounts to 662,848, and it may safely be as that there is scarcely a single district of her Majesty's European dominions which is not represented. Great seal and sympathy wail. venally prevailed, and nothing but the short space of time allowed to the work prevented a very large multiplication of the numbers. It is proposed to send the address to the care of Mrs. Beecher Stowe, who has undertaken to make such arrangements as shall give it the greatest puhlicity. Everyone will feel that this lady's cooperation is of real value. The general committee are desirous to acknowledge the efficient services of the sub committee, and especially to express their thanks to Mrs. Sutherland, who has acted throughout as honorary secre tary, and has devoted much time and attention to the work. The general committee are also desi-ous to express their thanks to the ladies and others noosed in the list subjoined, fir the lar,te numbers collected by titi it individual efforts." A list of about 60 names was then read, including some from Paris, Jerusalem, Guernsey, lie., and the udilriss, with 26 large folio volumes of signatures, was brought for ward for inspection. The Duchess of SUTHERLAND then read a letter received frs m lvlrs.lletcher Stowe,iu which she ex peened h diciest to make arrangements for the reception of the address, and for giving the utmost publicity to it in America, mentioning at the same time that a new work from her pen was about to be immediately published. Before the meeting separated the first copy of the work referred to, called "A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin," was presented by the committee to the Duchess of Sutherland. NAVAL _...... PonTsmotrni, MARCH 20.—The Duke of Welling ton,l3l. screw steamship, Capt. H. B. Martin,C.B., has now nearly 500 men of different classes at work upon her cam ' plating her equipm, nt, but it does not appear probable that they will get her ready by the end of this month to go out .if harbour to try her engines as was intended. The last piece of her shaft, which is altogether 100 feet in length, was fitted on yesterday. The Rhadamanthas, steam trans port, arrived in harbour to-day, from the eastward, with stores. The Tyoe, store-ship, arrived today from the east ward. The Prince R egen t, 90 , an d the Leopard, steam frigate, have received orders to proceed to sea. It is re ported that their destination is the Mediterr The Fairy, screw tender to the Royal Yacht, returned into harbour on Friday night, from Stokes Bay, having made another trial of Oriffiths's patent propeler. The trials hitherto made with the screw on this patent were with •three blsded screw; but as the rule of the service is to have all the screws to her Majesty's ships so fitted that they can be lifted on deck through an opening construct, d for that purpose, and ii rough which only a two-bladed screw, with the blades olaced in a vertical positioo, win pass, it was deemed necessary that an opportunity should be given to ascertain if the same results could be obtained from a two bladed screw on this patent, as was obtained from that of three blades. Further trials are to be made with this two-bladed screw, which has been fitted by Messrs. B will and Smoyne, but the results of Friday's trial, are given in the subjoined table, the pressure of steam in each trial being Illbs., and the vacuum 284 inches : &minnow Piece of Time.

Engineers are not yet, it appears, agreed as to the correct diameter and pitch of screw required for a given•sised ves sel with reference to her engine power, in proof of which the fact is instanced of the castiag on Thursday last in this dockyard of an esperimeatal screw in wrought iron, weigh ing seven tons, for the Duke of Wellington. The perma nent screw for this skip, when the right proportions have been ascertained, will haveto be made of brass. It is as serted in favour of Griffiths'', patent screw, that the perma nent one, if constructed on that patent, might have been made in the first instance with the greatest certainty, as its pitch can be varied to suit the requirements of the vessel's form and her engine power under all circumstances of wind aad weather. .._.. DRooNPORT, MARCH 20.-The St. Jean d'Acre, 101 guns, new screw ship, will be launched at this dockyard on Wednesday next. The ceremony of christening will be performed by Him Ommanny, the daughter of Admiral Sir J. A. Ommanney, the Commander-in-Cbief at the port. The occasion will be observed with much interest, and a large number of visitors are expected from • distance. The South Devon Railway runs an excursion train between Exeter and Torquay and Plymouth t n that day. The St. Jean d'Acre has been built in 18 months. Sbe is to carry 101 guns, and engines of 600-horse power. The following are her principal dimensions Length from fore part of figure to after part of taffrail, 273 ft. ; depth from upper pert of figure to lower part of false keel, 52 ft.; ditto tar frail, 56 R. 6 in.; length for tonnage, i'.o2 ft. 5 in. ; breadth extreme, 55 ft. 4 in. ; ditto for tonnage, 54 ft. 8 in. ; ditto moulded, 63 ft. 8 in.; depth in hold, 24 ft. 5 in. Burthen in tons, old measurement, 3,200 ; do., new measurement, 2,084. The Ssnspareil , block-ship, Captain S. C. Decree, h.s had her masts her armament, and the number of ter crew re duced. her masts are much lighter than those taken out, and are the same as were serried by the Dublin. Her armament by the new order of things will be 40 guns, two 32-pounders, 66 cwt. each, from her lower deck, and eight 32-pounders, 25 cwt. each, from the upper deck, with • proportionate quantity of shot and shell, and the shot at present stowed in the fore part of her orlop dark are to be removed and placed in the lower part of the vessel; 51 tonal of ballast will be put into her hold to the loss of weight taken from her in the reduction of the number of guns. The complement will also be reduced 100 men, thus making her a third instead of a second rats. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell, was towed into the Sound on Friday by the Ayes and Confianee steamers, and has since received a supply of powder and five shells. The Vulture, Captain Glass*, has not yet returned from her cruise to the Chops of the Channel to relieve homeward bound vessels. The Leander, Capt. G. St. Vincent Ring, sailed yesterday for Scotland. The Valorous, Captain Buckle, was paid advance yesterday, by Commodore Sty moor. The Brisk, having been rigged, and hal. engines put is order, was removed from the dockyard yesterday. Tits Queen, Argus, Megicienne, Vengeance, Valorous, and Arrogant, are still in Plymouth Sound. Mr. Charles Seeley, chief clerk in the storekeeper's office, is the Devoeport dockyard, has been superannuated at 3301. per annum, being the amount of his present salary, he having been more than fifty years in the service.

SUICIDE or A GENTLEMAN UNKNOWN.—Yesterday the body of a gentleman was found in a garden attached to the White House Lunatic Asylum, Cambridge-heath, Beth ' nal-green. The throat was extensively cut, and life had been extinct some hours when the discovery was made. Near the spot were several pools of blood, and the right hand of the deceased held • razor. Nothing was known of the unhappy man at the asylum, and he must have ob tained adninsion to the premises by getting over the fence. The deceased appeared to be about 55 years of age, was dressed in • puce coloured surtout, black vest, and trousers, Wellington boots, black satin stock, and silk hat. It was likewise ascertained that th, deceased wore a wig, and his whiskers were grey. There was an extensive bruise on the front of the deceased's head, which I. supposed to have been caused by a tall on getting over the palings. The only article found in the deceased's possession was a silk pocket handkerchief. FDLES.—On Saturday morning two serious fires happened on the Surrey aide of the water. One broke out in the hat factory of Messrs. Pritchard, situate at 31, Stam ford-street, Lainbetk. The flames were first discovered in the finishing shop. Fortunately an instant supply of water was obtained, and the engines were worked with full vigour, but the firemen were unable to get the fire subdued until the whole of the buildings were burned out and the storm likewise damaged. The other fire took place in the private residence of Mr. Wilkinson, No. 2, Park-place, Peckham. At the time of the outbreak the inmates were in their beds asleep. The smoke having awakened a young lady, she found the lire raging in het bedroom. She aroused the other inmates, and information was seat to town for the engines, when the lire was extinguished, but not until it had gone through one side of the house, which was a double one. A spark from a lighted candle, it is thought, was the mum of the disaster. ALLEGED DRAM TIIROUGII NEGLIGENT DRIVING. —An inquest was held on Saturday, by Mr. G. T.
