BURGLARY AT A PICTURE DEALER'S.—Yesterday seeming, about one o'clock, the premise, of Mr. George Coreby, picture dealer, of SG, Princes•s:reet, Bobo, were en tered ly burglars, it is supposed by means of a *Cock kr. The robbers succeeded in carrying off& number of paintings by the fist masters, Incloling Waiteau, resins, °sinew rotagh,and Wiiaon. Most of them paintia..s wen on canvas, and the thieves cut the picture from the strainen to render them mom easy of carriage. They carried off at the Pam. , time foes paintings on panel. Mr. Mayes, the German pro ' vision dealer, who resides next don, heard a coasiderali.e noise in the house early in the morning, and he imagined that the termite of the proprietor were packing up some of the works of art. Immsdiately atter ;Le noise ceased a cab was heard to cries sway from the door. The value of the pro pent' lost is estimated by Mx Corby at nearly 1,0001. No clue has as yet been discovered to lead to the apprehension of the robbers. TllB POlBOlllBO AT CASTLE CAMPS.—EIise Lucia and Miry Ann Raeder, who were sentenced to death by Mr. Justice Wightman, at the late melees, for poisoning Susan Luse wile of the former culprit, atd aster to the latter, at Castle Camps, have been informed by the authorities of the gaol that their execution is fixed for this day fortnight, the 13:11 of April. Some efforts are being made with a view of relieving the town from the scenes that will take place eonseqmst an the pinta' ceremony. It is thought, however, that they will be of little avail in saving the lives of the wretched couple ; indeed, that is almost rendered impossible from the fact that the female convict has confessed to having mixed the weenie in the seed which her anfortunate relative partook of, an admission which, to a great extent, establi.hes the guilt of Lucas. Of the many tragedies that have been enacted in different parts of the country during the last few years by the adnsinistrationuf poi son henna food, certainly this is one of the blackest taws. 'lns great levity the cements die played throughout the trial has been already noticed, aced almost up to the very moment when their doom wee about to be pronounced, the male prisoner was seen looking about the court, and smiling to his friends, vex' were in the gallery. During the few minutes that the jury retired to consider the verdict, the convicts were taken from the doer into one of the lower passages of the prison, where they had some tea. Here they exhibited the same Judi& ference as to their fate ; indeed, the vacant, innocent look of the girl almost tended to skew that the was unconscioue of the fearful consequences of the crime in event of being found guilty. Wails they were taking tea she asked him how the verdict would be. He replied "guilty," although it is suspected that he expressed that belief more from • desire to frighten her, for up to the last moment he was ensfident of being acquitted. Noticing a smile on his coun tenance, 1-is remarked that in a few minutes he would have something else to smile about. In less than ten minutes afterwards they were both found guilty and left for execution. The convict Lucas, as he left the dock, looked up at the number of persons who were I maximal/ watching his departure, and said, " Good bye, ladies and gentlemen, I wish you good eight; I am perfectly guiltless." Oa the day following their condemna tion the convict, Mary Reeder, evinced some desire to unburden her nab d, and she expressed a hope to am her agog father. Her wish was allowed, and on Wednesday the pan interview s& had an inrview with her, the rev. chaplain and the metres being present, the rev. gentleman appearing to act as ems restraint open her freedom of speech, he withdrew., The miserable woman then acknowledged that it was her hind that put the arsenic in het sister's mew, and added that her reason for destroying her was the illicit connexion that existed between herself and the man Lucas. She in famed her father that the connexion had taken place duce Christmas, and she strongly dated that she was is the family way. Bie has not In terms accused Lucas of invit ing her to the commission of the deed, bet she has don* so by implication. The male convict continues to deny that he was aware of iteeder's intention to destroy his wife. I He admits that an improper intercourse existed between: shiny but he bed bnome so disgusted with her that he had determined to get aid of her, and that if he bad effected that he should have lived happier with his wife. Same time before her death, Reeder irked him for some arsenic to put into the water in which she said she was about to wash her feet. She added that she nought it would cure her chilblains, and he gave some aceortlinfly. The extraor dinary cool demenour which marked their conduct at their trial has in some measure given way to a more proper spirit of resignation. They have paid considerable attention tithe Prifittail advice of the chaplain, and at the chapel on Good , k ridey both culprits evinced au unexpected amount of !contrition. During the service, the gill, Roeder, fainted away twice. The last execution at this county gaol took plan in December, 1833, when a ma, 111.11114.1 John Station suffered for anon. Lucas is a stoetly.hailt young man, 24 year. of age, and his wretched partner in guilt is of a short plump figure, her features being rather pleasing. She is de scribed as 20 years of age, but they both look much younger thea they really are.—Cambridgepiper of Salurday. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 1, 1850. RONSBY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

In conclu sion, he, in a very flattering manner, proposed the health of " The Chairman, the Mayor of ionuey."—Drunk with amours. - ------- Thd MAYOR, in returning thanks, regretted that language could not express his feelings. lie endeavoured to discharge his duties. it had been said that politics ought not to be introduced.

SCARCITY OF CLERGYMEN AT OXFORD.—SO scarce were the clergy in Othrd on the morning of Good Fraley that cut oue could be found to officiate in Holywell Church.

On kis return to the church he stated hie ill fortune to she congregation, who soon dispersed. . • - SACRILEGE.-It was observed on Friday afternoon that a box, kept in the interior of St. James's, riocadilly, and whic.hcuntabacd a large sum collected for the poor, 'Ono the comma:icemen% of the year, was broken opea, and the contents abstracted. No trace was left by the thieve/. _ _ ATTEMPT , . AT NICEDER AND SUICIDE.—A very painful sentat.on prevails at the present time throughout the village of Bacup, Lear Preston, and the surrounding district, in consequence of the following tragical occutrenee. It ap pears that a young woman, named Anne "%Villwock, reel ding at a place called Ball Farm, had been living with a man named William Forster, at Cheethans-hill, Manchester, by whom she had one child. From acme cause or soother she left Fonter, and went to live at the betore-named vil lage with her friends. Forster followed her, and tried to penude her to return with him, and he would marry her.

FATAL Acciumr.—On Saturday Mr. W. Baker held en inquest at the Black lions, Kingsland-road, on the body of a man about 60 years of age, name unknown. From the evidence of James Halsey, of 81, Houton Old Town, ironmonger, it appeared that about 10 o'clock on Wednesday ni,ebt last, he was near his own residence, when he observed • cart drawn by a mule coming towards him, and just as it came opposite to him be saw the deceased, who was standing up in the cart alone. in the act of whipping the animal , at the same moment his feet slipped from under hint, and he pitched over the cart-wheel into the road oo his head.

In the mast month he passed an interpreter's emastinatima ia three native languages. At this them, the first Sikh war broke out, and Lieutenant Edwardesenetained a seven wound in the thigh at the battle of Moodkoe, while carrying Sir Hugh Gough's orders. Dating the second battle (Fercashuhr) he was lying with tits wounded is Moodkm tort ; but he was sufficiently reco vered to take part is this battle of Sjbraon, which closed the campaign. He now accompanied Sir Hugh Gough to Llhore, and in March, ISIS, was recommended by the gallant veteran to the notice of Sir Henry Harding', no then governor general, who placed him on the new political staff formed at Lskore, maim Sir Henry Lawrence, whom private secretary be be came remaining with him until 1848, whe n the d ec li n i ng health of that distinguished diplomatist compelled him to ratans home. _ Shortly aster Lieutenant Bdwardes received his new op pointenent, he received a wound in the head while assisting Si: Henry Lawrence to put down a religious tumult in the city of Lahore. • month afterwards he assisted at the siege of Kate Hasps (the Rajke Kate of Lawrence's Adve n t u r er in the Punja b). In September, 1848, be was selected to re lieve Major Macgregor, C 8., in the important charge of the city of Lahore ;In , he had scarcely reached that capital when (the revolt of Sheikh Emansoulen breaking out in Cashmere) he was, ordered to proceed to Jar moo, and rouse Maharajah Golab Singh, to the aseertino of the rights which had been ceded to Ma by the British government. To effect this, Lieutenant Edward.' opened negotia tions with the Solekh bitamil, when be induced to deliver up the secret orders to rebel which he had received from Rilsh Lai Singh, the paramour of the Ranee. Oa this, the Shaikh was permitted by Sir Henry Lawrence to surrender, and giving himself up to Lienteaant Edward's at the toot of the Cashmere bills, he was by that officer conducted to Lahore. On the evidence of the papers thus obtained, the Rajah Lal Singh was brought to trial under the walk of Lahore, was deposed item the Ministry, aLd banished to Waviest's. While the new treaty of Lahore, of December, 1846, was being retake! at Birowii, Lieut. Edward*, was left in the sole political charge of Labors ; and for his s xertions in ap• pealing a second religio..e tumult at the festival of Mohur. rum, he received the thenks of the Court of Directors of the Met India Company. In February, 1847. he war deputed, in commend of a Sikh army to mak* an amicahle flutes! uttlement of Bunnoo, an Affgban valley, west of the Indus Failieg in this—as Runjeet Singh had failed for a quarter of a century—be pro jectel and proposed to the rmiusut at Lahore the plan of • regular military reduction and occupation of the valley, offering to coadact the espediton. This plan, recommended by the taident and approved by Sir Beaty Harding', war at once earned out. Lieut. Ildwardes, in Demeter, 1847, woe despatched with five thousand men and two troops of bone anillery ; end in the brief space of two mcatts, he levelled the wails of four hundred fortified vinare, built a strong tonnes in their stead and tan a military road through null bean of the valley, the,, means entirely subjugating it.

The redoes:on at Btu.u.a, %al barely aceomplisied, when the Moolten rebel. lion broke out. __--- --- We have Ts corded several important services which Lieut. Edwards. was enabled to render to his country while yet a very yang man ; we have now to tell of those transactions upon which his fame for the present rata. lu March, 1847, a treaty had been concluded, by meuvi of which the geurreesgeneral (Lord liar :Slue) had under. taken that the Punjab should be managed during the mine ri.y of Mnbarajah Duleep Singh. He engaged to control the civil internal administration of the csuntry, and to maintain the tranquillity within, as well u to provide for i's ex.arnal security ! and this be enraged to do at the especial Instance of the Sikh Surdas,. The cons. quenco of this aet rangenunt was, that a peace ensued in the Punjab 'o which it had long been a stranger. But in April. 1848, occurred the treacherous murder at Mooltan of Mr. Vans Agnes and Lkut. Anderson, young men of great promise, and who had already distinguished themselves. Thu event gave rise to e namotions in Mooltan, which speedily spread into other pro vinces, and resulted in a general insurrection of the Punjab. When the govern - if-general, the Earl of Dalhousie, be sun. convinced that it was hopeless to ezioct that the c motion at Mooltan would die away, by the subusivion of the Doran Mollraj, the chieftain commanding at Meoltan, or Chit it could he extinguish!! by the force appled to put down the rebellion, he pr pa rtM to enter into a vigorous wet. At this time, Lieut. Edward. it, recently appointed assis tant in the management of the coning iu the et ighbourhood of Mooltan, and having at his d6posata single native regi ment oily, conceived the stolen of driving the rebel Mos:rej into his fortress, and rescuing the whets of the country round Meehan from his grasp. lie effected this, and he achieved it without the assistance of a single European soldier. ‘.*iieh was his character, such the esnfidenco he had inepirei ainangst the natives, such the means that he used, aril the revenue he raised at the moment, in the very estintry he MU rescuing from the treacherous Monlra that he was enabled to raise all the mountain tribes, to discipline them raw levies, and to drive back that chieftain into the Tory walls of the fortress from whose citadel he oppressed the surrounding country. It was on the 18th of June, 1848, that he gained his first victory, end took eight oat of ten guns which the rebate brought into the field ; and on the ltt of July, haring been joined by the troops of the N e wants of Bhawalpore under Lieut. Lake, he fought a second battle, and again completely routed the army of htoolrej, ceptunng two more guns. It was daring these operations thst he lost the use of his right hand by the explosion of a pistol in his belt while arming for a fight. In these battles Lieut. Edwardse inspired confidence among the troop, by his exertions , and by his uniform ability commanded the 'actions and the newt of the natives who ful'owed in his arm,. Although, in the fiat instance, the GovernorAgsnersl of India and the Commander-in-Chief considered that the season would not admit of the march of Nuropean troops, l.et in consequence of the great efforts that had been made Lieut. Edwardes and Lieut. Lake, it was thought 'dole. a le by Sir F Carole, the resident at Lahore, to despatch a force amounting to about 7,000 men of ell arms, under Major G I Whish, from Lehoro to Moolean. We have all read of Whish's attack ion and capture of Mooltan, which formed so bright a page in the subjugation of the Punjab. No sooner were these brilliant operations of Lieut. Ed wai.'el known in this country, than the government recom mended him to her Majesty as an officer well worthy of im mediate distinction; rewards of whatever nature not being nasally bestowed until the termination of a war. The Queen at onto conferred apes the young hero the local rank of seine, and made him a Companion of the Bath. The Court of Proprietors, following the illustrious eumpla, voted him a gold medal, the execution of which war entrusted to Mr. Wyon, and which will soon be overly for presentation. On the vete of thanks in the House of Lords to the Berl of Dalhousie, the Governor 0 e 1; to Lord Gough, the Commanderin•Chief ; and to other distinguished officers, the Marquis of Lansdowne specially referred to Major Bdwardes, and gave a glowing description of his exploits. Viscount Harding, "'greed in what had been said by the noble marquis with rigard to Major Edwardee. He had bun in communication with him while in India, and had found him to be a mat sensible, intelligent , ad clever yang man. In a letter which he bed received from him, he stated that he was most anxious that the comrades who participated with him in his services should also be eases dated with him in his praise, particularly Lieut. Lake and Lieut. Pollard, late a student in the Kong's College, and Lieut. Nicholson, and other officers who had cistinguisbed themselves." - . And the Dubs of Wellington said, " I entirely concur is the approbation which the noble marquis has expressed of the conduct of Major Ildsardes and other °Eon in the course of these actions. They have immortslited themselves by their conduct. It is impouible to speak too highly of Ma* Edward's and the other gettlemsn who have been tamed in these invitee." Alter such praise as this, what more is to be said ? Major Edwards. reached England with his old commander, Lord Gough, a few weeks since, and is now residing in his native county to mesh his health and strength, after a nine yean' service in India, narked by the perfinmanee of deeds which it has Liles to the lot of very few at such as age to achieve.

DORLIK, KAMM 30. A total change of the weather has at length set In, the severs frost and snow of the last few weeks being succeeded by a copious and genial fell of rain, which wasso mach needed by the husbandman. The change has been ushered io, however, by a strong gale of wind, which has b l own with oonsiderable violenos during the night, and still continues unabated. The grievance of ministera' money is to be vigo ronaly agitated at the meetings of the Blister vestries next week, and Dublin, Cork, lkilkennl e arerick, and the few other town s w hi c h are sub to the impost, are expected t o co - o perate on e occasion and pour in petitions to parliament on the subject. As it appears nearly certain that this very objection able tax is doomed, it is hoped that one strenuous effort more will effect its removal. The tenant right movement has extended itself into the county of Londonderry, thus contradicting the statement that, so far as the North of Ireland was concerned, the agitation was confined to the county of Down. Antrim and Derry are now ocmbined with Down, and a meeting held at Garvagh, in the county of Derry, on Tuesday last, was, in fact, one of the beet that have yet been got up in Ulster for the pur- Fee of expressing popular opinion on the subject. The meeting was held in the Court-house, David Smith, Esq., of Heathfield, in the chair, and among other things it was resolved— That in order to stimulate to future icduetry, and encourage the outlay of capital, to preserve good order in this province, and maintain a feeling of harmony between landlord and tenant, it is imperatively necessary that, in addition to en equitable reduction of rents, the tenant farmer should have ample security for his investments on all improvements in the mil, whether purchased by him or created by his own or his forefathers' industry. And lhat the bill of Sir William Somerville, now before the House of Commons, being is reality • repetition of the ini quitous bill of last Radon, depriving the tenant of all past improvements, end confining hie future remuneration to a limited period, is unjust in principle, and would, if passed ' into a law, be, in the opinion of this meeting, productive of the very worst consequences to this country. A disturbance took rhos near Dangiven, in the county of Derry, on the same day, in consequence of an attempt to seize cattle for the payment of county cess. A very formidable resistance was made by the peasantry, and one of the bailiffs was killed in the affray. A correspondent of the Limerick and Cksre Exa miner gives some harrowing details of a wholesale eviction and hones levelling scene in Meelick, when twenty-three heaves were levelled, the inmates hav ing been forcibly ejected : The lands—(says the correspondent) the scene of the evic tions on Friday—were held under the Marr,uis of Conynham by a middleman, a Mr. Armstrong, whose agent wee Mr. John Btackpoole O'Brien of Ennis. The lease under which Mr. Armstrong held having expired, he was obliged to give up the lands to Mr. Marcus Keane, agent to the Marquis of Conyngham, but he refused taking up the lands unless they were " cleared '• for him. Accordingly Mr. Stackpoole, having procured ejectment decrees, proceeded to put them in force on Friday, and sent down a driver of his to superintend the operations. He w, s aceonTanied by a band of twenty or thirty " wrecks:3 " from Ennis who were armed wi t h crowbars and other implement s of destruction. Tncre were about twelve policeman 11—a force five times the number would not be sufficient some years ago to protect the house levellr re in their dangerous and unpopular crusade. The first great cattle fair for the season in the county of Kilkenny was held on Thursday. A good many lots of good 3 years old heifers sold from 61. 10s. to W. 10s.; 2 year old heifers from 21. 10s. to 61.; odd cows not so good or plenty us usual, selling from 4/. to 101. A small fair of hoggetF, which sold from 21.. to 345, and good demand. Oa the whole, it was a better fair than was expected. CORK ASSIZES.—CORK, ?Liam 28. Before JCDOR honor,. CARRYING AWAY CRUZ•».— MAxerAontina. Two respectable farmers, Henry Browne. and, Allen Browne, with throe labourer', !Anis Creinin, Cornelius Cronin, and John Murphy, were charged with the man aLusitter of Patrick Drury, at liiitlachin, on the 6th Dec., 1819 : The prisoneta, Allen and Henry Browne, with their brother, John Browne, were tenants to J. J. Per r i er , E sq . ; Henry and John were it. emu of their rent to the amount of 511. each, bring for three gales; it became necessary to dis train, and great opposition being expected, Mr. Perrier sent a party of 19 men with him bailiff, Patrick Drury, to make the seizure; they proceeded from Cork to the lands situated Ilea Mscroom, on Dec. 5, at an early hour ; they divided them selves into two parties, and having seized cattle bdonging to both John and Henry Browne, proceeded to drive them off the lands. Allen Browne got up cu a ideal, and gave a signal or loud whistle, upon which a vitaliser of men tr. ngrigated from different directions and rescued the cattle. A good dud of violence was exhibited by both pastier, but at length Drury a•al his assistanto were obliged to sive way. When they were retiring from the ground the prisoner, Denis Cremin, jumped over a ditch and made towards Drury with stones in his hands. Drury drew a pistol, and a atone was thrown at him, which struck tie hand, broke the pistol in halves, and, at the same time, the shot went off. Several persona then cloud around D:ury, knocked him down, ail struck him with various weapons while on e ground. Amongst these persons the two Cremin's and Murphy distin• guished themselves, and were identified by several witnesses. Henri Browne Wa imm sdiat-lj present, but made no attempt to RIM Drury, nor ell it distdictly appear that he i encouraged the ausilants. Drury's =hunts all ran away in alarm, and he himself was token into Henry Brow :te's house, where, as it appeared, every attention was paid to ! him, and the priest and doctor sent for, but he died on the following evening. N less than sixteen witnesses were crmined to prove tl-e details of the foregoing trensactinn. It was preyed that the deceased rid in eoneequeuce of numerous were fractures in the skull. Evidence for the define- was sir. n, by which it apiwarrd that all the prisoners were menu, particularly good repute with refer, nee to their peactahl, conduct. The question it. the cue scented to be how fsr the Rrovenci had by It lir ex• prosions given countenance to the violence of the other pri soner., and thi+ question was very ably speksn to by the leatnet: counsel on both sides. His Lorthhip charged the jury at considerable length, telling them that if they believed a previous arraagem t.t had beta made to reek the seizure Fp force, every porsln who was a pscy to such arrangement was respons:Lle for the acts et the others. At a late hour ;n the evening the jory raturne4 a yerdiLt of acquittal as to Henry and Allen Browne, and convicted the other prisonen. Sentence deferred. A FATAL CoNFLICT took place on Taceday log, at G 3rtnaghy, within one mile of Duogiven, on the road lead. jog from that town to Newtownlimavady. On the morning of Tuesday, Mr. Stevenson, a collector of county cue and pour rites in that district, proceeded to the tuwol.nd in question, accompanied by some five or FIX assistants, for the , 1 purpose of sciziag upon the goods of defaulters who bed not paid their county car. After calling at the bosses of several persons, who, although they exhibited symptom. 1 of hostility, n.veitheltss did nos proceed to open vio lence, he at last seised upon, and w.s driving off the ground, three cows belonging to • man named Robert I Guinn ; but before he had proceeded with them above two hundred yards, the people rose indiscriminately, rushed forward, armed with stones, spades, and other deadly weapons, and closed in upon the party who were taking away the cattle, attackieg them with as much fury as if they had been brute of pry whom they had met to sur round and destroy. Mr. Stevenson himself, and some of his assistants, narrowly escaped, after being pelted with stones: bat one of them, named Thomas Andrews, who happened to be nearest to the cows, was struck with a spade and severely injured, and, in addition, was cut in the bock of the head with a stone, and received moat., heavy blow from a missile in the back Ws assailants, h tying thus mal treated that aakappy victim, quietl withdrew, and his own party returned and suceeeded In conveyi..g him "to Dungiven.

DICK LACPER.—At the Edin burgh Sherif! Criminal Court, on the 2Sils ult., Sir J. Dick Lauder was tried for astauliine a railway guard in the employment of the Bdiuburgh and Glasgow Railway Company. The chief witness. Barret, who complained of the assault upon him ' said that on examining • railway carriage from which the def,udsnt had alighted at Edi ,burgh, be found the green curtains torn away ; the foot roe taken away ; the eriebiora nut; end the glass lamps broken. While lacking at the carriage Sir J. D. I Lauder, who, with the others, had gone away, came bark, &AMR for his Mt.

A numerous and respectable audience assembled on Saturday night within the walls of the Olympic Theatre, which was opened for the epecial purpose of an amateur dramatic performance, in aid of the " Metropolitan Typographical Widow, Orphan, or Nominee Fund." The ob j ect of this society is to re move the necessity for the degrading practice of peti tions, raffles, &c., for the relief of the families of their deceased brethren, by making a provision of 201., at the death of every member, for the benefit of his widow, orphans, or nominee,. This is effected by OVA member contributing to the fond a weekly sum, varying, according to the age of the individual, from threepence to sevenpence-halfpenny per week. The rules and regulations of the society are buied upon sound, liberal, and most benevolent principles. It was pleasant, therefore, to find that the exertions of the amateurs (all of whom were connected with the printing profession), who on Saturday night served the cause of charity efficiently on the stage, were generously supported by equally zealous friend. before the curtain. An address, written for the occa sion by J. Graves, Esq., was well delivered by Mr. Charles Cooke. The entertainments were Tobin's comedy of "The Honeymoon," end the farce of " His First Champagne," with a variety of excellent singing, dancing, and recitations between the pieces. Without entering into any criticism upon the performances, WO may say that the character of Duke ,Aransa was carefully played by Mr. Dorrington. Mr. Bustin ably sustained the part of Count Montalban, and Mr. H. Thomas that of Rolando very creditably. The part of Jaques was enacted by Mr. Ross in a way that would have done credit to many prof< e.ional actors. The character of Juliana was undertaken by Miss E. Clayton. Miss Jane Coleman played with considerable comic power in the p ar t o f Volante, and Miss Moss mule a very pretty and interesting Zamora. In the course of the evening Misa Ellen Foist elicited great applause by her recitaticn of "Collins's Ode on the Passions." The arrang ements before the curtain, und er th e su p er i nten dence of Messrs. Hartwell and Tallest, g- ve evident satisfac tion to the respectable company who had assembled for the double purpose of assisting a very corn mendable society and enjoying an evening's amuse ment. We understand that in consequence of the approba tion b; stowed on the performances of the gentlemen engaged on this occasion, as well m on their previous efforts, they have determined to form a Dramatic Club, the prominent object of which will be to give a 'cries of dramatic performances in ed of the three charitable institutions connected w:th the printing trade,—viz., the Widow and Orphan Fund, the Alms house Fund, and the Printers' Pension Society.

DEVONPORT, MARCII 31.--The Ste:, M.-vessel. under t'e command of Rigge end dieser', went cut cf harbour, on Wedneed y, and steamed round the Eddystone, for the purpose of trying her machinery, after it keel been unused tor tour months. The result of the experiment, so far as her machinery is concerned, was s . helatory. alts mph it was not in another respect, for in going out of harbour sho unfortunatcly got into cull;siou with • =sealant schooner, under sail, by which tin schoonet's lee =sin rigging was carried away and mainsail rp:it, and the steam er's main-yard wee broken off.

TUB LAUNCH OF TIIZ NAN/IN.-I[lM seems to havo been a lack of enginectitig skid vie. toe istineh 01 this ship, which is scarcely creditaols to the Wealwich levckyard au thorities. She hung a considerable timo after the period which skald have est her free, sai b) some shinier inac curacy of calculation of her dip, or the depth a water ow side the dock, aba Li said to have nerved so severe a dislo dation as to reader it necessary that she should b. redecked. Wolin in allusion to this ship, me may alludc to a practise which has latterly been adopted by the authorities, we think to A. prejudice of the service—we allude to the cuttirg of the timber and pieperi• g it for building in MS dockyard, and transporting it afterwards to be pat topesr in another, at • great cost, and . t can&ii.r dle lueonvinience to the builders.
