The vessels had proceeded as far as Dungeness, when a heavy squall struck the Julia, and nearly swamped her. Her fires were extinguished by the water, and her pumps became choked with the coals. In consequence of this occurrence, the Vigilant was compelled to return with the vessel to Sheer. ness to have the water got out, and she is under • going the necessary repairs. It is known that gun vessels similar to the Julia have, by their own power, steamed to China and back ; and it is thought that if the Julia had been allowed to steam to her destination without being towed she would have arrived safely without any accident. The Vigilant again left Sheerness on Tuesday to convey the Britomart to Plymouth. The Rattler, 17, screw steam sloop, 951 tons, 200- horse power, which has recently been launched at Deptford, has arrived at Sheerness, in tow of the Widgeon and African steamtugs, to be fitted for the steam reserve. Her engines are to be supplied by Messrs. Maudslay, Son, and Field. The Esk and Highflyer, undergoing repairs in dock at Portsmouth, are in a very defective state, the first-named especially so. Their dates for com pletion at the hands of the shipwrights' depart ment has been deferred, the Esk from the 9th of May to the 31st of August, and the Highflyer from the 30th of May to the 12th of July. The Glas gow,serew, frigate, has also been deferred in her appointed date of completion from the 30th of April to the 4th of June. Four lifeboats for the use of her Majesty's vessels employed on the West Coast of Africa, the first in stalment of the number ordered by the Admiralty, have been received at Portsmouth Dockyard from Mr. J. White's Medina Dock Shipbuilding'Estab lishment, at West Cowes, Isle of Wight. The iron-clad screw steamship Defence, 18,Capt. Richard A. Powell, which left Portsmouth on the 17th inst., arrived in Plymouth Sound on Tuesday evening. On the 19th, when off Start Point, a i gale from the eastward was experienced. The ship was run to the westward, and when 100 miles be yond the Scilly Islands was, on the 20th, hauled to the wind, and tried on all points under steam and and under sail, during a strong gale from east north-east. The Defence has proved herself easy at sea, rolls very little, and steers well. The greatest speed attained under steam and canvas was 13 knots ; under canvas only, 101 knots. The following appointments and promotions have been made at the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. G. Dou glas to the Ajax, additional, for the Coastguard ; Richard C.

Such a detail of imposture, credulity, and profii gacy was perhaps never before detailed in a court of justice. - - ."! • i\N :14;t 1 .5: , • •-• f-4 14 rat 1 4 4 . A .4 5:1 • ON ge l' ur *• Ann Baker, a healthy looking, round-feud woman, about 40 years of age, said she was the wife of a sawyer, and was dwelling with her family in Rugg's-court, Limekiln-hill, Limehouse. On Sun day last the prisoner was introduced to her by a neighbour as an astrologer and fortune-teller, who could remove spells and cast nativities. The pri soner wrote on a small slate, " I can rule the planets. Give me ls. lam deaf and dumb." She gave him a shilling to rule her planet. (Laughter.) He asked me where he could see my daughter. He called ou Sunday evening and saw her. Mr. Woofry eh here looked to the prisoner's stock in trade, which consisted of a well-thumbled edition of the " Manual of Astrology," with horoscopes and nativities of kings, queens, and other distinguished personages, " Zadkiel's Almanac," and scraps of writing with quotations from it, roughly executed diagrams and nativities, and the " planets," as they were called, of some of ? the prisoner's dupes. The penmanship of these productions was good, but the orthography was very defective. The following may be taken as a sample of the whole :—" Thy Planet is changed thy luck his good Service thiss year. Marriage 1864 and a public house 1866. Children 9, a good husband and a faithful one. You wil not travell, but you have many deaths of chil dren. You bury your husband when you are 36 years of age, and wil marry again to a tradesman of the wood work. You will be a happy woman in the second mariage, and wil bend life about your 78 year of age, never to want, allwayes plenty to shus tain life. The Cross is Broke, and very hard Set it was to get it broke." Another scrap of paper con tained the following warning :—" Remember the things I told you wil not come to pass if the spell is not filled up as I began it, it must be filled. Tell her if she Begins to tell what I don it is all no use to her." Mary Ann Baker, aged 20, said the prisoner came to her mother's house on Sunday; he wrote that she must go up stairs. The witness then went into a long detail of the prisoner's conduct, and, after a series of most disgusting ceremonies, violating her person. The witness was strictly questioned by Mr. Woolrych, and she said—l could not help what he did. He moved his hands up and down my face, and took the bone out of my stays to measure me. I was giddy, when he put his hands over my face, and should have fallen had he not held me up by the shoulder. His hands smelt as if he had been washing them with tobacco. He made me pay him 3s. 6d., which was all the money I had. He said as I was a servant girl, he world take ss. for break ing the spell, and I must pay him Is. 6cl. more on Tuesday next. He gave me a paper, and on it.was written that I was not to tell any one, and the cross was broke. Jane Baker, a diminutive girl, sister of the-last witness, said she was eighteen years of age. She was left alone with the prisoner, whoexpressed in writ ing that she had a cross in her side, and if she did not have it out there would be a spell upon her for life. He then tried to serve her as he did her si s t er , but she would not let him, and threw down the chair and called her mother downstairs, and her mother asked her what she was crying f or . -- Mr. Woolrychl wish your sister had ac t e d w ith the same determination as you have done. Did you believe what he said ? Witness—No, sir. I believed it was all rubbish. I did not believe him from the first, and when I found out what ho was doing I thought he was a nasty, filthy, indecent man. The whole of the evidence was plainly written down by Mr. W. Livingstone, the chief usher, and given to the prisoner to read. After he had finished reading the evidence, he wrote on a slate that he was out of work six months, and when he came to London he was a beggar. He gave the woman and her daughters a lot of papers with horoscopes and nativities on them. He bought the ticket book, " Manual cf Astrology," for ls. The first woman he met with gave him is., her husband the same, for casting their nativities. The girls told lies of him in some respects, but he was guilty of a good deal of what they said, and he was sorry for it. Mr. Woolrych said he regretted very much that special circumstances prevented him committing the prisoner on the capital charge. Such a filthy profligate scoundrel as the prisoner deserved to be sentenced to a long term of penal servitude. He believed Mary Ann Baker was a willing dupe. He thought it would not be useful or proper to commit the prisoner for trial. The prisoner was acquitted of the first charge, but upon the second, for using subtle means and obtaining money under pretences of fortune-telling, breaking spells, and casting nativities, he sentenced him as a rogue and vaga bond to three months' imprisonment and hard labour, and for the assault on Jane Baker, which was not with her consent, he sentenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. The second sentence to commence on the expiration of the first. The sentence was communicated in writing to the prisoner. He read it and then broke out into a paroxysm of rage ; stamped up and down the dock, tore his hair, and made use of menaces to wards the witnesses. Roche, the gaoler, quickly seized him, and conducted him to the lock-up. The prisoner is a vulgar-looking fellow of fair com plexion, with a large and ragged head of hair, giving him a wild appearance. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 27, 1862.

The capital of the United States is at last libe rated by the action of the enemy who so long menaced it. Yesterday saw the Union army pour across the Potomac in pursuit of the Confederates, with an absence of haste rendered neeessary by the condition of the roads, which, however, no longer forbade all onward movement. General M'Clellan cannot go very far in chase of his wily adversary ; every yard he stirs from Washington adds so much to the difficulty of feeding his army; but if the river blockade be removed, and the Confederate batteries abandoned along the shores, the Fede ralists will secure great advantages in water trans port, not to speak of the benefit to the population of this city, who have suffered so long from the high prices of their necessaries of life, such as wood and coal. On Saturday spies and negroes reported to various officers at different points of the line that the Confederates were retiring from Centreville and falling back on Manassas, whence a steady stream of regiments had been pouring South for some time before. It was apprehended that these movements were caused by the advance of Burnside and Banks, and that either or both would be at tacked in force. The rumours had so often been repeated that people did net pay much attention to them ; but the officers on outpost duty from what they saw were inclined to believe that the enemy in their front were not in such force as they had been lately, even though they showed a bold front on all their line, and skirmished successfully with the Federal patrols towards the close of the week at Pohick and on the 0 ccoquan, and inflicted on them some loss. Their cavalry force was increased, and appeared in constant observation along all the approaches towards Centreville. On Sunday forenoon, while visiting the head-quarters of General Smith's division, I heard that the Con federates were certainly falling back from their advanced positions, but it was not supposed they were doing more than concentrating in order to pre pare for the attack which was coming upon them, and of which, no doubt, they had full information, though they might have divined it without any great sagacity. Still it never was intended, I believe, to attack them at Manassas. The increasing power of Banks's demonstration on their left must have seri ously disquieted their Generals and inconvenienced their means of supply, and, notwithstanding the possession of two lines of railroad, they must have had very great difficulties to overcome in order to feed their troops. One of General Smith's Staff said that the men they had seen in front recently were ill armed and poorly clad. Some prisoners lately made in a cavalry hunt were so badly mounted that the Federals ran them down. They were dressed in coarse civilian clothing, and were miserably equipped ; very different fellows, as he re marked, from the Carolinians whom he and his party had taken after a sharp brush some weeks before. It may be remarked here that not one of these officers had any positive information that the Confederates were retiring at two o'clock in the day, and that they spoke of their movements, force, and position as matters of conjecture. Their impression evidently was that a flank movement was soon to be made, but that no attempt would be directed in full force on Manassas. From General Smith's quarters at Smoot's house the path to Gene ral Fitzjohn Porter's division "lies all over the country," through stumps and brush, which mark the sites of " used up" forests, and through woods not yet laid prostrate by the soldier's axe. The head-quarters are about four miles and a half apart, and by the time we reached the camp of General Morrell's brigade the regiments were just turning out for evening dress parade. The camps were in excellent order, though the late gales had com mitted havoc on the pretty evergreen archways and protecting lines of transplanted pines—not only with these, but with the great observatory from which ono used to have such a fine view of the surrounding scenery. The 14th New York were marching out in columns of companies from the streets to the parade-ground, and nothing could be better than the way in which they took up their ground and the steadiness of their line. They are young, robust men, considerably ex ceeding the average height, well uniformed, and armed with rifles. Next to them came one of the finest regiments, taking them all in all, I have yet seen—the 9th Massachusetts, all Irish, from the colonel to the drummers. Their regimental flag displayed the harp and wreath of shamrocks in gold on a green ground. The men were very steady, and marched with the precision of well-trained troops. Next in line came a Pennsylvanian regi ment, which is highly spoken of; but it was not so well " sized" as either of the others. There were many men exceeding six feet, some over six feet three, and even four, inches ; but there were also some round-shouldered, ill set-up men. Still, never were steadier-looking troops seen on parade. All these troops were armed with excellent new rifles, and General Morrell has certainly as fine materials in his hand as ever were moulded into soldiers. As the parade was going on General Fitzjohn Porter rode over, and Gen. Smith also came across from his camp. Then the telegraph which binds Ithe whole of the various commands together with the offices and departments in Washington an nounced that Gen. M'Clellan was coming over, but, as it was getting late, we could not remain to see him on the ground. A regiment of this Division had marched out in the morning and occupied Vienna without any opposition from the enemy, whose videttes were visible in the distance, but there was no idea of a movement of the whole army, or even of the Division, in the evening when we left the ground. Senator Wilson, chairman of the Com mittee of the Senate on Military Affairs, in whose company I returned to Washington, was not aware of the positive confirmation of all the re ports respecting the retreat of the enemy from Centreville, though he is so earnest and active that few things connected with the progress'of the war escape him. All his thoughts were centred on one subject—an advance by M'Clellan, the sooner the better, and a victory. Indeed, it is not possible to' conceal the fact that the confidence of many persons—l do not allude to Senator Wilson —has been greatly shaken in General M ' Clellan ' s ability and energy, because he had not displayed moro of the qualities of fulmani UM, which would be better appreciated in the United States' armies, on a ccount of their rareness, as well as because of their s pecial utility in this expensive and exhausting war, than any others a general could possess. There were stories of all sorts last week respecting his re signation, retirement, dismissal; how the President had said to the general that he must move in 10 and many thi ngs of the kind, which may I la l : y h s orea go, aCanarding about in the halls of the hotels. Last autumn, as I stated, it was proposed to divide the, ar my into separate corps, which would at least have a tendency to mobilise it, and render it more easy to handle. Jealousies, rivalries, conflicting i n t ere sts and parties, as well as objections in high quarters, prevented the aecomplishmeet of the idea; but it has now been adopted, and Generals Tleint zl:man, Sumner, Keye s , McD owe ll, and Banks are thus in command. General M'Clellan still remains co mmander-in-chief, subject, of course, to the Pre sident, who may be said to work with the Secretary of War. Military men are divided in their opinions of their general. Some men of experience and authority acquainted with his plans maintain that he possesses skill and ability ; others characterise his inactivity in the strongest terms, and ridicule the notion that he directs operations in the West or else where by telegraph, or that the recent successes were due to any,direetion by him, or to any concerted plans at Washington. General Wool, who commands at Fortress who has been pressing hard for an Independent Monroe, and command of 30,000 or 40,000 a men, with which he pledges himself to move on Richmond, is especially malcontent at the sight presented to the world by the vast army of the United States held in check under the dome of the Capitol, month after month, by so-called "rebels," d ac unwilling,y. has or unable, Then d blockade of the Potomac, such as iu raised, but it has not been a a u n oi ts was,e enemy. eni done by the Federal arms. The Confederates ex hibited little skill or daring in the way in which they used such means a damage and annoyance, and now, as will be seen hereafter, they have aban doned all their works, burnt their steamer, Page, and gone off in some enormous panic or on some mysterious errand to parts unknown, alarmed, pro bably, at the immense flotilla assembled in the Lower Chesapeake, near Fortress Monroe. In the most astutely conducted war there is much of future good or ill in great successes as in untoward events. Mind marches 'with matter. As circum stances grow, so does intelligence now and then, but the latter rarely anticipates the dimensions of the former. When the President called out 75,000 troops it was thought to be a prodigious levy. Gen. Scott thought 30,000 or 35,000 would be more than enough, and protested against the extravagance. A Commander-in-Chief and a Secretary of War, who shut up the press in a moral Lafayette, would have been thought monstrosities a few months ago by the worthy Republicans, who now are charmingly optimist, and declare that whatever is is best. They grumble, indeed, at finding their newspapers "exhausted receivers." The Congressmen, who walked about public offices, monarchs of all they surveyed, and who now dare not trot a horse down the Avenue, are rather irritated by a commander in-chief who is kept invisible, they say, or inacces sible, and who does not answer or notice their letters. But General M'Clellan only aspires to be a soldier ; he does not affect politics, like many of the officers of the regular army ; ho rather ignores them; possibly, like some I know of high rank, he feels a certain sort of pride in avowing that he never "gave a vote at any of their elections in all his life." But it is obvious that, in order to maintain this position, he must do something to prove that he is fit for his position as a military chief. If he does not, the po liticians and circumstances will be too many for him, and, although the American people are now astonishing the world by the display of tractability, submissiveness, and docility beyond example, it may be safely predicted, unless he speedily achieves some signal success by the troops under his direct per sonal command, he is not likely to retain the confi dence and support of the nation. Deputations will soon be set to work upon him, and the Young Na poleon will be among the number of undeveloped celebrities. But General M'Clellan can never lose the credit of having taken the volunteer masses in hand and formed them into an army, of inspiring them with confidence, and instilling into them the principles of soldierly life- and discipline; and, whatever comes, he has earned and deserved, whe ther he gets it or not, the praise and gratitude of his fellow-countrymen for doing that which, to be fully understood in all its magnitude, ought to be witnessed by one who beheld Washington in the last week of July, and who can now ride through its streets or visit the camps on the Potomac. Much is due to the zeal of the men who started out of the clouds and darkness that rested on the land after the battle of Manassas. Senators like Baker and Wilson raised regiments, drilled them, and marched them into the field, and the Puritan spirit of New England gave a vigorous earnestness of purpose to the work of war which has fretted and chafed against the restraints of prudence or the sugges tions of military knowledge. On Sunday evening I happened to be in company with two Federal generals, one the head of a department, the other a General of Division, as well as with one of Gen. McClellan's Staff. One of them was grave enough, for the news had come in as beyond all doubt that the Confederates had left Fairfax Court house,' Centreville, Manassas; that they had burnt and destroyed their huts and tents, and had marched off no one could tell whither, without giving an opportunity for the display of the strategy to which so many eyes were turning, and on which so many hearts were fixed. How the nation will be disappointed! It had set its soul upon another battle of Manassas, or a reversal of the judgment pronounced by the God of Battles en July 21, 1861. The whole movement was so pro voking--so unexpected! It was, besides, so incon venient ! Pursuit would be out of the question. The state of the country might just permit an ad vance of cavalry and light troops, but they could not stir beyond the reach of their daily supplies by slow-moving waggons coming out from Washing ton. Starvation awaited man and horse. The nation never comprehends the Quartermaster-General's department, nor sympathises with its impediments. No victory to be announced in the Senate ! Not even the consolation of boasting that the Confede rates had run away as soon as the Federal troops ' had begun their march ! It appears that as soon as General M'Clellan had satisfied himself the Con federates had evacuated Manassas, and were in re treat on the interior, he gave orders for an advance immediately. The withdrawal from their strong and commanding position, whatever its motive, left him free to act—it mobilised an army of near 200,000 men, with at least 250 pieces of artillery. An orderly came in search of the aide-de-camp—one of the generals went off across the river, only to march off with his division at three o'clock in the morning—the other departed to sit up all night arranging the details of his department. In the dim moonlight all the camps woke into life, and before the first streaks of morning lighted up the cold sky, and pierced tho clouds heavy with rain, the streets were filled with Waggons, orderlies, cavalry, infantry, and mounted officers, and one's sleep was broken by the cracking of revolvers, which their owners were getting ready for service, and by the loud summons of comrades to each other to arouse, gg W e 're all off over the e i ver. ,, There was a drizzling rain, which blew over as the day wore on ; it is now as I write Boon _ y and warm —a glorious spring day. I - was told by those who saw it that the passage of the Federal troops over the long bridge was a magnificent spec tacle, but, unfortunately, I could not get down to witness it. The men were full of spirits—some too much so, perhaps, and they "chaffed'' the by standers, particularly the John Bulls whom they recognised, in Irish, German, or American, very good humouredly. Seventeen batteries of artillery, splendidly h o rsed and Equipped, moved over the bridge in an unbroken succession, making, with three batteries previously sent across, 120 guns of the reserve ; these were supplemented by the regu lar infantry of the United States, the Volunteer Neyes's Reserve, b a ttali o ns of and three or four cavalry regiments, one of Lancers, and the spec tacle impressed those who Witnessed it as a most imposing display of military p ower. Th e s t re ets were thronged with commissariat carts. The long bridge, the chain bridge, the steam ferry, the ape duct bridge, and all the roads leading to them were alike crowded, as we hear, and trembled under the ceaseless tramp of man and horse and the roll of waggons. Meantime, the troops encamped south of the Potomac were advancing since an early hour, and it became an ascertained fact that Centreville was evacuated and that clouds of smoke were rising from the abandoned cantonments of the enemy along the ridges of Manassas and Bull's Run. The head quarters' house, at the corner of President-square, was surrounded by a strong cavalry escort, and the officers were busy packing up in the various depart ments. A crowd assembled to see Gen. M'Clellan set out, but it was late in the day before he mounted, and proceeded amid cheers which reached the room in which I was writing, across the river to his new quarters in the village of Fairfax Court-house. The staff officers who set out for the field took little with them. A cloak and blanket, a feed for the horse, well-stuffed holsterS, and a case of provisions, formed their baggage. The battle to which so many were looking for ward is now indefinitely postponed; nor is there an indication where it will be fought. If the Con federates are on the run, it is difficult to say where they will stop. Already there is a report that the Confederate Government is about to abandon Rich mond, and that President, Cabinet, and Congress will move to Raleigh, in North Carolina—a city perilously near to Goldsborough, New Berne, and the sea coast. One thing seems to me very sure. The Federal army cannot make any considerable or rapid ad vance from its present position until the railway is completed from Alexandria and Washington out to their front. The line must be laid; another will have to be completed. And the nation and the Congress all this time ! Well, we must wait and see. Fairfax Station is in the hands of the Federals, and they will now be able to work at the line, and have already set to the task, As I write, lam told a considerable number of the cavalry and artillery will have to fall back close to Washington in order to obtain food for their horses. The country is a desert about Manassas, if not all round the camps in Virginia. The country people have fled. . - THE NAVY. The reduction in the head spars of the Warrior and Black Prince is ordered to be carried out accord ing to the following scale :—Bowsprits--To be re duced from 49 feet length and 40 inches diameter to 25 feet in length and 24 inches diameter. Jib booms :—To be reduced from 49 feet length and 16 inches diameter to 42 feet length and 132 inches diameter. Flying jibbo3ms—To be reduced from 52 feet length and 83 inches diameter to 44 9-12 feet length and 73 inches diameter. Both ships are being fitted with a second pair of cat, or fish heads, by which the anchor will be carried some 20 feet further aft than is the case at present. Those for the Black Prince are on the point of completion in the blacksmith's shop of Portsmouth Dockyard, and are two fine specimens of smith's work. Each cat head weighs 45 cwt.; the length is 15 feet; width at top of sheave holes, 14 inches ; at bottom of rivet ing to ship's side, 213- inches ; breadth of side plates at widest part 26 inches, and 2 inch thick; thick ness of outside plates for sheave holes, 13,- inch; angle iron for framing, 4 inches by H inch thick; angle iron to form connexion with side of the ship, 5 inches by fi inch thick ; diameter of rivets, 15-16 inch ; distance apart of rivet holes, measuring from centre to centre, 44 inches. They have been made under the superintendence of Mr. Wells, the master smith of the dockyard, and their manufacture re flects great credit upon him for the skill and neat ness with which they have been put together. The Black Prince is ordered to be fitted with an auxi liary boiler to work the auxiliary engine, without interfering in any way with the main boilers at tached to the ship's engines. This auxiliary boiler will supply steam to the engine for working the steam capstan and fire engines, yard whips, &c. „It will be fixed in the forepart of the engine room on the starboard side. The ship will be undocked in about a fortnight, and taken out to Spithead to test her enlarged rudder under steam. Should it be found to answer as it is expected to do, the temporary wooden casing with which it is now fitted will be replaced by iron plating. April 30 was the time ori ginally named for the Black Prince to be out of the hands of the dockyard, but it is now proposed to extend this time until the same date in June. The iHector, 32, iron frigate, of 4,063 tons and 800 horse power, building at Glasgow, when launched is ordered to be taken round to Portsmouth, where the following armament will be prepared for her :—Main deck-24 68-pounder smooth bore guns of 95 cwt. each, and 6 100-pounder Armstrongs of 82 cwt. each,all on rear chock carriages with direct ing bars. For boats—Two 20-pounder Armstrongs of 13 cwt. each, and one 9-pounder Armstrong of 6 cwt. Field guns—one 12-pounder Armstrong of 8 cwt. ; one 6-pounder, smooth bore, for short prac tice, with elevating carriage ; and ono field carriage and limber to carry a 20-pounder Armstrong. It will be observed that while no mention Is made of guns for the upper deck, six 100-pounder Arm /Arens are fixed as part complement for the main deck, notwithstanding that past experience proves that Armstrong guns, from their breaking of breech pieces, and consequent escape of gases and explo sions abaft, are unsuited for a ship's main deck, In fact, a strong feeling exists among naval officers that the Armstrong guns, with their present com plication of parts behind the chambers, and the pre sent imperfect mode of closing the breech, are un suited for naval service, except when placed on a ship's upper deck, where they may be useful for purposes of chase, or throwing a projectile a long distance, and where, should an explosion take place, the broken breach and gases may escape into the air overhead, and thus lessen the chance of injuring the gun's crew. Sofar is this feeling acknowledged that provision is being made in the drawings for the shields of Capt. Coles's ship for the substitution of the 95 cwt.smooth bore gun for the 100 pounder Amstrong, should the closing of the breech of the latter continue in the same uncertain state as it is at present. A fourth and final trial of the machinery of the screw steam frigate Phcebe, 51, took place out side Plymouth breakwater on Monday last, under the supervision of Captain Key, Mr. Steil, of the Indus, and Mr. Ward, assistant-engineer from Keyham Steamyard. At the previous trials it was found that a great strain existed at the valve, through which a proper equilibrium did not prevail. This defect was attributed to the fact that the cylinder faces were of brass. A ring was, in conse quence, introduced on the back of the valve with springs attached to it, and a complete equilibrium has been thus obtained. On Monday there was a fine breeze from the south-east, and the Phcebe was taken round the Eddystone lighthouse for the pur pose of ascertaining if the machinery was in proper condition for active service. The engines, direct air pump, are by Messrs. R. Napier and Sons, of Glas gow, who were represented by Mr. Brown. They are of 500 horse power nominal ; diameter of cylin der, 65in. ; and length of stroke, 3ft. bin. The length of the shaft is 96ft. ; diameter, 12in. The diameter of screw, Griffiths' is 15 ft. ; pitch 22ft. ; and length, 3ft. The engines were worked on Mon day up to an indicated power of 1,900 horses ; re volutions, 61 per min. ; pressure per square inch, 201 b. ; and vacuum, 251 in. The results appeared to obtain the approbation of the inspectors, who were also well satisfied with the ventilation of the engineers' department throughout. The tempera ture was tested on three several occasions, which produced an average in the engine room of 64 deg. ; in the stoke-hole aft, 81 ; amidships, 87 ; and for ward, 91. On deck the temperature was 52 through out. The Vigilant, 4, screw steam sloop, '2OO horse Power, Master in charge G, A.

We have at last something like an authentic ac count of the revolt at Syra. A letter from Athens, in the Augsburg Gazette, dated 15th of March, says : ‘, The steamer which the day before yesterday brought us our correspondence from Trieste brought also the new. o n an insurrection at Syra. A movement 'rotor nifie seemed more likely in any other twiirn of Greece than in that en trepot z.e-vantine commerce ; it, however, broke out on the 12th of March, but as the telegraphic wires wore cut nothing was known of it here. " On the morning of the 12th a First Lieutenant in the army, named Leonzakos, a Mainote, commanding the de tachment quartered at Syra, consisting of 30 men, and be longing to the battalion which raised the standard of revolt at Nauplia, gave the signal for the insurrection. He was joined by Lieut. Canaris, son of the ea-Minister; a Second Lieut. Moraitinis, son of the President of the Areopagus of Athens. Both had participated in the conspiracy of the month of May, and were, though acquitted by the tribu nals, under the surveillance of the police.

" The first attack was directed against the Custom-house, which contained 500 Minie rifles, ordered firstly by the Government, but conceded afterwards to the firm of Kloebe and Co. The rebels seized those arms and the money chests, and then attacked Austrian Lloyd's, where they pillaged everything; they then sacked the National Bank, the Go vernment Treasury, and embarked on board the Karteria, belonging to the Greek Navigation Company, and made for the Isle of Tinos, with a view to gain to their cause the detachment of 20 men quartered there. The sergeant in command, however, suspecting treason, prevented the re bels landing. On being called upon by them to take oath to the new order of things established at Athens, he replied that he only took an oath once in his life, and, assisted by the inhabitants of the island, he compelled the rebels to de part. They then proceeded to the Island of Thermic) to liberate the 25 or 30 individuals banished from Athens and confined in the island. " The events at Syra were known at Athens at midnight on the 13th, and the Governmentga garrison of Athena s a o tonce sent two compa nies of the already weakto the Piraeus, where they embarked on board the Amalia. At noon the Amalia came across the Karteria, with the re bels on board, and, opening fire, compelled her to make for land. The rebels landed close on the shores of Therniio, and the troops on board the Amalia followed thei r example. A fierce struggle ensued, in which Leonzakes, Moraitinis, and various soldiers, were killed, The Karteria, with all the pillaged money and arms, fell into the hands of the troops of the Amalia. Among other spoil were six small sacks of gold. " The Amalia then made for Syra to show to the mer chants of that place the trophies made by the Royal troops. The bodies of the slain, the wounded, and the prisoners, wore displayed to public view on the desk of the steamer, and 'the inhabitants of Syria went to gaze at them.

Yesterday Mr. G. S. Brent, deputy coroner for West Middlesex, instituted an investigation at the Plasterers' Arms, Seymour-street, Euston square, into the circumstances attending the death of a man described as a respectably dressed and gentlemanly looking person, who died under the following circum stances :—The deceased, in company with a gen teelly-attired female, engaged a sleeping apartment at Barrow's coffee-house, 10, Seymour-street, for the night of Saturday last. After they had retired about an hour, the female raised an alarm that her companion was takes ill and dying in bed. Medical aid was procured, but deceased immedi ately afterwards expired. The woman represented herself as a married woman, residing with her hus band at Islington, and that the gentleman was not related to her. Mr. S. Thompson, M.R.C.S., 13, Crawley-street, Oakley-square ---I was calle d to the deceased on Saturday evening abo u t 10 minutes to 7. I happened to be passing No. 10, Seymour -street, and a person ran after me and sa id th ere was a ge ntleman ill in the house. I went to the second floor back room, and found a gentleman in bed, lying on the left side. He was quite dead, and had been so about ten minutes. He appeared to be lying in a comfortable position. There was a female there, with whom I was informed he came. I thought it advisable to call in the police to take the address of the female. In a post-mortem examination I found the heart diseased, and believe that death was occasioned from the excitement caused at the time, which doubtless produced a failure of the action of the heart. oaursstreet.

A discussion arose among the jury as to the pro priety of calling the female, she havini , proved to be the wife of a highly respectable tradesman , who was present, and who appeared very deeply affect ed, and begged his wife not to be called. The Coroner remarked that if they went into matters of a private character, the effect would be to render the coroner's court a public nuisanc e rather than a benefit to the public.
