Odes . - .ttotinal Encyclopedia; and among other Par tiona'ar . .(rniiii obiterature, the United Service Journal contributes rf rollick i lArceMiaion to the politician, as well as instruction to its , OA* readers. We may say this correctly of the present number, which is c ake aittal to its usual standard. We recommend " the Maw nascript of a deceased Naval Officer ;" the lively " Letters from Gibraltar;" and the ' , Narratire of Recent Events in Paris;" the latter of which—even to readers of Newspapas—will be found interest ing. As an extract, we shall take the following part of an Essay, on the ‘• System of naming his Majesty's ships," which forma a kind of addenda to the Essay on " Proper Navies," which we presented to our readers a wuk or two ago:— . tip}f . ar SY'TEM OF NAMING HIS MAJESTY'S SHIPS. The method of naming his Majesty's ship is most capricious deed it may be doubted if there exists any rule at the Admiralty to regulate the particular duty, although the matter is by no mesa• of immaterial consequence. Seamen attach great faith to particular names:" so much so, indeed, that even in the coasting trade, a vessel which has proved fortunate to her owners, is usually repaired and patched to the last timber, from a superstitious notion prevailing, that so long as one plank of the original fabric remains, it is still the same vessel, and she will retain the same luck in her trading specula tions, although every other part of her has been changed and re built. The Welsh seamen in particular follow this practice, and it is amusing to observe at Swansea, Milford, Cardigan, and other Cambrian ports, vessels undergoing what is called " repair,* which consists of new keel, new stem, new stern, new timbers, and new decks, with perhaps one old cat head or transom knee, "left in for luck," to preserve the " forte. nate name." In the Royal Navy also, some consideration has frequently been accorded to the prejudices of seamen in favour ofeelebrated ships. The Endeavour, in which Cook circumnavigated the globe, and effected several great discoveries, was preserved till very lately as a hulk at Sheerness;; and it is supposed that the Victory, Lord Nelson's flag. ship at Trafalgar, has now scarcely one of her original planks remain. ing, yet the Government have wiselrdetermined that she shall not be " reseed," broken up, or destroyed, so long as a timber remains to awe. ken recollections of her glorious exploits. The Americans knew so well the importance of exciting enthusiasm by these means during the late war, that they named even the guns of their ships after heroes and battles. Thus the President had her main-deck battery baptised Washington, Saratoga, Orleans, and even Nelson, Rodney, Duncan, and Napoleon ; thus supplying the deficiency in their own warlike no rnenelature, by adopting the stirring names contained in the histories of other nations. Since, therefore, a wise commander neglects no means of beeping up the enthusiasm of his followers, might it not be worth the attention of the Admiralty to render available for this purpose the prejudices, the associations, nay, even the superstitions of our seamen? With this view, might not the naming of his Majesty's ships be conducted upon some intelligible principle ? Hitherto it appears to have depended en tirely on the whim or eccentricity of successive FintLords. It may Mind amusement to trace the capriciousness of their tastes through the ranks of our Navy List. Some years ago, the then First Lord of the Admi ralty, being a mighty fox-hunter, • introduced his whole pack into the navy ! While this nautical hydrophobia lasted, the seas were covered with the Boxer, Biter, Borer, Bruiser, Tickler, Cracker, Pincher, Dasher, Brisk, Hasty, Havock, Pelee:, Rover, Rolla, Snapper, Surly, Swinger, Ranger, Hearty, Jasper, &c. &e. of which many still remain as the canine ornaments of our navy. The . administration ,at lag& changed, and the new First Lord, fresh from the groves of Alma Mater, determined to neutralize the vulgarity of hie predecessor's nomenclature, by a copious introduction of classical names. Accordingly, Lempriere was put' in full reqtdsitien, and to this freak. we are indebted foe An dromache, Andromeda, Bellerophon, Bucephalus, Cadmus, Dtdalus, Eoryalus, Eurydice, Bebe, Helicon, Hyperion, Iphigenia, Meander, Blebunpue, Pelotas, Pegasus, Polyphemus, Prometheus, Semiramis, Terpsichore, Agamemnon, Zenobia, sem multi, slit& One hundred of these academic argosies remain still upon the Navy List, as testimonials of his Lordship's literary attainments, and puzzlers foe the pronunciation of " Poor Jack." The latter, however, readily meta morphoses any appellation of this description to some humorous term of his own. Thus, Bellerophon, became " Billy Ruffian ;" Agawam. " Eggs and Bacon ;" Andromache," Andrew Mackay;" and Pa lyphemus, the " Polly Infamous !" To the scholastic reign a Parisian government succeeded, and the navy became inundated with Gallidsma. L'Olsetus, Le Belliqueux, Le Ge. :weer, L'lmpetueux, Le Courage's:, L'Esplegle. L'Espoir, Le Fon. droyant, Le Sans Parch, L'impericuse, La Dedaigneuse, ike. If " Poor Jack" mangled the Classics, he made some sort of atonement by tar. daring the French. Thus, BeUiqueux was tranfonned into " Belly Squeaks," thmereux into " Jenny Rooks," and Dedaigneuse (being a heavy sailer) into " Dead Now I" A bragadocio next became Lord of the Ascendant, and out wooden walls were disfigured by such buckram names as Impregnable, Irwin. dble, Implacable, Terrible, Redoubtable, Magnificent, Formidable, Powerful, Dreadnought, Infernal, &c. Fortunately this boasting gen tleman " died in his youth and beauty's pride, and a naturalist reigned in his stead." This was the glorious era of ornithology, concholegy, ichthyology, and natural foolery, which introduced Bustards, Buzzards, Crocodiles, Reindeer, Racoons, and Rattlesnakes. Finally, Lord Melville, invented the lees objectionable custom of naming moat of our ships of war after " rivers." His Lordship appears to have been born under Aquarius or Pisces, he has inch fondness for streams. We have now not only moat of the celebrated rivers of an. tiquity, such as the Tighe, Indus, Euphrates, Ganges, Orontes, &c. but neatly every petty rivulet in the United Kingdom ; the Spey, Tay, Dee, Tees, Liffey, Slaty, Tyne, Wye, &c. Nay, so determined appears his Lordship's predilection for " fresh* water, that he will not permit even ataract or lake to escape nodes, and we have accordingly launched Niagara, Ontario, and Huron ! It has been the practice of several administrations to direct that vends captured from the enemy, and annexed to the British navy, shall retain their original foreign Dimes. This may partly account for the numerous French appellations before mentioned; but hewer commend. able such a custom may be in general, yet its adoption has frequently led to singular misconstruction among uneducated seamen. How frequently must the pious inhabitants of Davenport have been shocked at hearing drunken sailors, in all the innocence of ignorance, cursing the " Salvador del Mande," and the:confinement of a guard.ship, little thinking that by such expressions they were blaspheming the Saviour of the weds!! We remember one of the Trafalgar heroes, in his account of the battle, boasting that a broadside from his ship eh'. vered the stern of St. John, while another discharge bad nearly sent the " Bantisaima Trinidad*" (Holy Trinity) to the devil ! The " Caccafuego," a small vessel captured from the Spaniards, was fee many years employed in the British navy under the same name, although it is not possible to make a translation of the term fit for English readers. Suffice It to say, that the power of " emitting fire" is conveyed by that appellation in the grossest manner, and our tars invariably pea. I ferred using the corresponding English terms, according to the most literal version of the phase. Having thus reviewed the whimsical mode practised in the Royal navy, by whirl► our ships of war have hitherto been named, it may be expected we should offer a few remarks as to the principle which might advantageously be adopted in future. Our system then would be to name all ships and vends of war after our kings, princes, beroes,and battles; all his Majesty's steam-vesaels after celebrated philosophers, mechanics, and engineers ; the Royal Yachts after junior branches of the Royal Family; and the Civil Nary of Government, such as boys, lighters, transports, Arc. with names ap propriate to their reveal employments; bomb ships might very well ?main with the inflammatory titles of Sulphur, Volcano, Thunder, Lightning, Ate. as at present; and Ring's Packets might be called Swift, Dispatch, Speedy, Votaries.

Mr. COXAXT, the Sitting Magistrate at Madborough-street Polka of was yesterday occupied for a considerable time in the investiga tion of the following singular charge of alleged robbery; the history of which will be better told by condensing the particulars into ashen narra tive, than by entering into the various statements, counter-statetnents, and alterations of a multitude of persons who filled the office, and ap peared engaged or interested in the transacdon. It that eta respectable licensed house in Oxford -street, called the " Vorth Pole," the mesdngs of a benefit societirstay-makere are held, and at one of these meetings= Thursday n t last, a certain member of the club was expelled, or scratched, wi a view to his ex cloaca from all future benefits of the club, for some irregularity of which he was alleged to have been guilty, inconsistent with the rules of the" society. By no means satisfied with the decision come to upon his ease, the examember determined, it seems, as he was to have no future benefit flan the club, acting on an erroneous view of the case, to take unto himself as much of the present advantage as be could; and having submitted quietly, apparent ly , to the sentence, ordered a bed for the night at the " North Pole. The club broke up at the usual hour ; the members, all except the scratched one, went to their respective homes; the landlord closed his house, and went to bed at a seasonable fir; and the scratched member, having previously paid for his 04 that he might have no delay in the morning, reti e W to his rest until about huff past four o'clock in the morning, when the landlord was amused from his slumbers by the loud ringing of his street-door bell, and putting his head out at his bed-room window to know the cause, be saw a policeman and another man sanding near the door, and the police man hailed him th u s—"l say, Mister LandWd; do you know this mai? Be says he is a lodges in your house, and that you know him." " Let me look at him," said the landlord, and giving a sharp look out for the lodger, " Oh, yes," be continued. " I know him, he slept here last night, and be is a most respectable man." The landlord then learned that he was stopped by the policeman because he was a pod sized box under his arm.—" But I say, mister lard r lenik r7lll saM the policeman, " he has got a box her with him and a inma mat, is that right ?"..." It's all right, you may be sure," mid the lendlad, who was romedfrom his dumber. The ladled CIS shut his window, and went to bed again, and the " emaldier member, with the assistance of the policemen, put his box and himself into a hackney-coads, on the opposite stand, and drove ofC The landlord began to ruminate upon what the polies. man said about a box. " Mho's," said he, " I don't think, now I Gen, side: of it, that Mr. —.-- (naming the member) brought any box with him her last night, I am sure he did not, and what box can he have taken out with him." No sooner did this reflection come upon the landlord, than he hastened to the club-room, where, to his amazement, he found the dub-box, with all the treasure of the society, bad vanished. An instant alarm was given by the landlord; th e p o li ce were called in, and the stewards and the secretary of the club were im mediately sent to and roused out of their beds, and in fact the whole fraternity were in an uproar. The policeman who helped the " scratched " member Into the coach, recollected that the latter undisguisedly pm directions to the coachman to drive him to Skinner-street, Somers ' Town, and thither a pursuit was directed. When the policeman got into Skinner-street, be saw, sure enough, the Identical coach standing at the door of a h ouse there, and on going into the house he saw an old lady, who, on being questioned, said that her nephew had just arrived in the coach, mentioning without disguise the 64 scratched " member's name, sad was gone with the hackney-coachman to the public-house appetite to refresh themselves; but as for the box, there it was tinier the table. The policeman, and those who accompanied him, then wised the box, but on examining it they found that it had he* leek= open, and its contents, amounting to about 461. taken out. They then hastened to the public-house, making sure to find the se- Ow there; but they were disappointed, for they found the hackney. emehman alone, and he told them that the " gemman" had gone away &Weed bit ago, and no further account could be had of the "scratched" masher or the contents of the box; and the consequence was, that the "old lady," the hackney-coachman, the landlord, the policeman, the stewards and secretary , and a multitude of staymakers, all tame to the office about the matter. In the middle of the exdtation' and confusion of the business,' as if to add a still more complex feature to the case, one of Mr. Harmer's clerks made his appearance, and said, that the " scratched" member had been that morning with Mr. Harmer, and told him what be had done as to carrying a the box, breaking It open, and talti out its contents, and seemed to consider that be had aright to do so, without any fraudulent intention, in order to pay himself back all the money that he had subscribed since he became a member. Mr. Harmer, however, bad told him that he had acted imprudently, in seeking redress in such a manner, and advised him, at all events, to return all above the sum that he supposed he had a legal claim to, if he had any and, in accordance with this advice, the clerk said, the " scratched" member was now ready to return the surplus over what be claimed as his own. The Society, for they were almost all present, declared with one voice that they would listen to ao such terms. The hackney coachman said, he could give no information, more than having set the man down at the house in Skinner-street. After a vast deal of discussion, which it would be useless to detail, the Magistratebefore him that he could do nothing in the m a tt er unt il t h e accused par. The Stewards of the Society applied ex a warrant 'to apprehend the Pa ße Magistrate said, that no warrant was ,as any body might apprehend a man on a charge of felony ; and thus affair rests for the present. THE MUTINY ON BOARD THE INGLIS BAST INDIAMA N. Yesterday morning seven seamen belonging to the Inglis East India. man, Captain Dudman Commander, were - talon out of the Vansittart and Charles Grant, Honourable Company's ships, which arrived in the river on Thursday night. They are charged with being concerned in the mutiny on board the Inglis on the 6th of June bat, and have been in confinement and heavily ironed since the let of July last, a period of seventy-two dayi. They were conv e y e d i n th e Th ames Po. lice galley by Hawkey, Galloway, and Shields, surveyors of that mes. blislunent, to the office, where they were released from their irons and placed in the lock-up room.

The CHAIRMAN Na the objection was fatal, and quashed the con. viction. Blisab•tli Smith, aged 68, was indicted for stealing, on the filet of August, one drinking glass, of the value of Is. the property of the ex. Champion, Tom Cribb. Mr. Cribb stated, that he Is the landlord of the Penton Anna, Pan. ton.street, Haymarket, and that the prisoner was employed b his wife in the equity of charwoman In that on the. day mentioned the in. dictment he had occasion to go into the yard, for the purpose of getting some water, when he discovered a rummer lying among the rubbish; and having missed a great many, he had the curiosity to see whether or not it was broken, and found it to be entire ; he marked it, and placed it again in the position in which he found it, and secreted himself in the wash-house. In the course of a few minutes the prisoner, who was about to go on an errand, came into the yard, took up the evrpusdelied, put it into her apron, and was leaving the house, when be (Cribb) lidd bold of her by the arm, charged her with the theft, and then gave her into the custody of an officer. The prisoner, on being called upon for her defence, admitted the theft, adding, however, that it was her first offence. The learned Czainair said he should not trouble the jury by recapitulating the evidence t and they returned a verdict of guilty. The COURT sentenced her to be !Ironed for fourteen days longer, having been In durance since the of August last. =sennmest AN EXTENSIVE ROBBERY ATTEMPTED. At a quarter past three o'clock jesterday men. Rieherdeon, a =Mof the 8 division, No. 88, being on duty in Athany.street, ark, saw the shop door of Mr. ?dyers, a slineemith, at No. 43, a.jar. He went to the station-house, and mentioned his suspicion, that thieves were there, and a eerie-ant, named Lewis, returned with him to the place. The variant seta the policeman into Little Alban . street, to watch at the back of the premises, and as, in the interim, the door had been closed, he knocked, and a men, rather below the middle sta. tare, slightly marked with the smallpox, with reddish whiskers, fair complexion, apparently 28 or 30years old, respectably dressed, in a dark frock coat, or surtost, and light trousers, opened it. Sajeant Lewis asked him" Is all right? This is an unseasonable hour for this shop door to be open, as ooe of our men found it just now." "Oh yes replied the man, " It's all right, we have had a party to spend the even here;" and he shut the &sr. By this time, Richardson finding there was no opportunity for a thief to escape at the beck of the house, had returned to the meekest, and they determined to keep watch. Very soon the man with reddish hair, &C. as before described, left the house, and be MO immediately joined by another .touter man, about five fist eight baba high, with a pale ha, and dark whiskers, and wearing a well made dark frock coat at sinew. The oaken of the police intercepted them, and serjeant Lewis, as costing the shorter ems, said, " How is it you are here ? I understood that you lived at Mr. ?dyers's." "I do live there," he answered, " but lam going tie see this friend home." Serjeati Lewis told him he thought his conduct was very suspicious, and he must go with him to the station-house (which is dose by,) and give • better account of himself. In going to the station-house, it was necessary to pass Mr. Myers's, and upon trying his shop.door, it was proved to be only latched. " How is it," said the serrant, " that you did not fasten the door after you ?—" I thought I had done so," be answered; " but I know the spring lock is a bad one. Then you are going to take us to the station.house ?" To the station-house he repeated in a higher taw, and instantly two more well.dressed men crossed from the opposite side of the street, and with bludgeons knocked down the Ba. jeans and Ri chardson, and the prisoners escaped. The o ffi cers aced " Murder, and a Serjeent Edwards came out of the station-house, in time to see Berjeant Lewis stagger before he fell, and one of the desps redoes run away, and he followed him ; but lost sight of him in York. square, and neither of them were neared. Captain Cardin, the superintendent of the division B. examined the premises of Mr. Myen, and found that the thief had got through an empty house adjo2, by picking the lock of it, and had scaled the wall of the Wk. by means of some drawers, which he removed for,that purpose the shop of the empty home, and got in at a back window. In the shop of Mr. Silas were found two merino bap containing 6001. worth of gold and silver watches, plate, saaff-boxes, jewels, ac. tied up in a handkerchief ready to be removed; and an umbrella wet with rain, • Pair of slippers, and some pieces of *az taper were left behbsd.

The planters' reports of the hops are various. They bare suffered greatly from the severity of the wind last week ; and where they :are much moulded, theare going off rapidly, but way few will be picked. Mete the mo uld is lees beery upon the bops they are, in some ewes, rather improved—but the feet of $ new pocket of mouldy hops being on sale in the Borough, and only Mk. being bid for it, will deter many planters from picking such quality, from a fear that when the quantity increases on the market they will be as in 1820—n. lodes., as many of that growth have not changed homes since they were picked.—Kentiat Gazette.
