THE NAVY. Yesterday Prince Oscar, Crown Prince of Sweden, attended by his suite, paid a visit to Chatham for the purpose of inspecting the dockyard and other naval establishments. His Royal Highness, who was accompanied by Capt. the Hon. J. R. Drum mond, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, arrived at the dockyard shortly before 11 o'clock. He was received there by Capt. Fanshawe, sul;4,r_ intendent, and the principal officials, who rZWiducted him over the establishment. Tht objects which attracted the greatest interest. — orere the iron steamers now building, one of wb.:Leb, the armour-plated fri gate Royal Oak , id so far advanced that she will be shortly launched. His Royal Highness was first shown the Achilles, 60, every part of which he examined, and with the extraordinary size of which he appeared much struck. Nearly the whole of the frames —answering to the timbers of a wooden ship —are in their places, and two of the bulkheads fixed. After spending some time in examining the works connected with the Achilles, the Prince in spected the Bulwark, 91 ; the Belvidere, 51 ; the Menai, 22 ; and the Reindeer, 17, all eventually to be transfeirrned into iron-plated steamers. He then visited the works connected with the Royal Oak and the various factories. He left the dockyard shortly before 1 o'clock and returned to town. An intimation has been received at Chatham gar rison from the Horse Guards, announcing that it is not intended to despatch the usual annual reinforce ments to India this season to fill up the vacancies in the various cavalry and infantry regiments serv ing in the three Presidencies, caused by troops be ing invalided or sent home to be discharged. There are nt present four infantry and two cavalry regi ments either on their passage home or under orders to return to England, and not the slightest diffi culty is felt in obtaining some hundreds of volun teers from each of the regiments returning from India for the regiments left behind, the many ad vr.ntages of superior pay, &c., inducing the greater number of the private soldiers to prefer serving in India to any other part of the world. Each volun teer receives the sum of one guinea, whereas the cost of despatching each soldier to India may be put, at the very lowest, at £3O. It is expected, therefore, that the Government will encourage as much as possible the system of volunteering. The first of the large plate-bending machines for preparing and bending the armour plates for the item steamer Achilles, 50, by means of hydraulic pressure, has been erected at Chatham dockyard, in the factory adjoining the dock in which the iron frigate is building. The plates are to be bent cold. So great is the force required to effect this that the hydraulic engines can be worked up to a pressure of 2,000 tons to the square inch. The new furnace for heating the armour-plates has also been erected, and the first plate was made hot, a few days since, in the presence of the principal offi cials of the dockyard, with highly satisfactory re sults. Messrs. Westwood, Baillie, and Co. are also erecting one of their large machines, adjoining No. 7 slip, to be used in preparing the plates for the Royal Oak, 51, armour-plated screw steamer. A second machine is to be erected, in order that no time may be lost in preparing the plates and affix ing them to the sides of the vessel, it being now ready for that operation. • The Victor Emmanuel, 86, screw, Capt. W. J. C. Clifford, C. 8., was paid out of commission at Ports mouth yesterday, under the supervision of Captain H. Broadhead, commanding H.M.S. Asia and the Reserve of the port. At the close of paying off, Capt. Broadhead complimented Captain Clifford on the appearance of the ship's crew as they had come forward to the pay-table. The following men were recommended for the silver medal and gratuity given by the Admiralty for good conduct and long services Wilson, chief quartermaster ; Thos. Johnson, sergeant, Royal Marines ; William Birch, boatswain's mate ; John Dawe, quartermaster; T. Barton, captain of hold; John Harris, chief boat swain's mate; Thos. Wilts, boatswain's mate; and Henry Kemp, seaman gunner. The plan suggested by Mr. Cunningham, the in ventor of the patent topsail, for protecting the screws of our ships of war from fouling by the wreck of spars and rigging shot away and falling alongside in action, or from hawsers towing overboard in the vicinity of the screw, was yesterday tested in Weovil Lake, off the Royal Clarence victualling yard, in the presence of several naval officers. The results were most satisfactory, and the invention has been reported upon to the Lords of the Admi ralty. The carpenter of the Shannon, 36, screw, in dock at Portsmouth, in walking forward yesterday on the main deck discovered a fire smouldering be tween the fixed fowl coop and the inner planking of the ship's bows. It had partially destroyed a corner of the fowl-coop, but had not burnt in to flame. A few buckets of water set matters to rights. Had the fire not been discovered so early as it luckily was the results must have been much more serious. A handful of oakum was found, also partially burnt, thrust between the fowl-coop and the ship's side. It is supposed that some of the men on board had been smoking, in defiance of the dockyard regula tions, and that on being disturbed one of them had hurriedly thrust a pipe in the spot where the fire was discovered. The existence of the oakum is accounted for by caulkers being employed on board. The Zebra, 17, screw, Commander A. H. Hoskins, sailed from Spithead yesterday, at 2 p.m., for Devonport, en route to the West Coast of Africa. In the Royal Naval Reserve John W. Gill, Henry White, Thomas Baker, and James Clarke have been appointed Lieuts. ; James W. Callow and William Alfred Ridly Styles, Sub-Lieuts.; and Staveley Taylor Honorary Lieut. The following appointments were made on Mon day at Admiralty :_C ap t. Stephen Smith Lowther Crofton to the Satellite, vice Capt. Johnson, invalided ; Dover Parrant, Master additional to the Marlborough ; John Hill, acting-engineer, from the Asia to the Pisgard, as supernumerary ; W. C. Archbold, of the Defence, confirmed as second class assist.-engineer ; and J. B. E. Warrington, of the Mullet, confirmed as second-class assist.-engineer. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt. the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, C. 8., to the Colossus, in the room of Capt. Patsy, deceased ; Commander Cr. A. Brine, to the Russell, additional, for the Coastguard ; Sub-Lieut. J. J. C. Smail, to the Euryalus, additional, for disposal; and Mr. R. J. Hughes, midshipman, to the Zebra. 711 E Al 111 Y. -- ---- A circular, signed by CO]. G. C. Langley, Deputy Adjutant-General Royal Marines, has been issued from the Admiralty, by order of their Lordships, in which is embodied the report of Commodore Dunlop, C. 8., Commander-in -Chief on the West India station, on the exemplary conduct of the officers, non-com missioned officers, and privates of the Royal Marines landed in Mexico. Their lordships desire that the report may be promulgated to each of the divisions, with the expression of their great satisfaction at this testimony to the efficiency and discipline of the bat talion, together with their approbation of the zealous exertions of Lieut.-Col. Lawder and th e o ffi cers under his command , in equipping the b a tt a li on f or active service in Mexico. Commodore Dunlop espe cially mentions the following officers who particu larly distinguished themselves by their energy, zeal, and military knowledge in the different depart ments in which they were employed —viz., Major Digby, 0.11,, Royal Marine Artillery, field officer on the Staff ; Lieut. Heaslop, Royal Marine Artil lery, commanding battery of A rmstrong guns ; Capt. Elliott, Brigade Major; Lieut. Hamilton, Adjt. ; Lieut. Brou g h ton , Quartermaster; and Lieut. Smith, Military Train. He also specially notices the great zeal displayed in the execution of a very arduous duty by Dr. Elliot and Assist.-Sorg. Adams and Henderson. Nothing, he says, could exceed the care and attention shown by those o ffi cers t o the sick during the trying period of their service at Vera Cruz.

THE SING OF ITALY AT NAPLES, A letter from Naples, dated May 1, say. : Again I write, for matter of interest c ,ntinually presents itself, and impressions must be formed at this momentous crisis in a cause whit. is that not merely of Italian but of European peace and pro gress. The 'visit of the King assumes a much more ?.,rious character than did his first visit. His Ministers, Rattazzi, Conforti, and Persano, are with him, and it may be hoped that work is really done. I saw his Majesty twice yesterday, when he left and returned to his Palace,and certainly his manner of acknowledging the salutes of the people was less military and more royal and cordial. As for the masses, whom it is a great thing to keep in good humour, they are all in ecstacies, and shout louder than ever they did for the Bourbons. Persons will no doubt laugh, and say that they have been bought ; that the redeemed pledges and hopes of other boons have much to do with this uproarious loyalty ; but say they have—admit it all ; there is something at the bottom of everything, but I con sider it a great thing to have produced a conviction in the minds of the multitude that their King, Vic tor Emmanuel, is the fountain, the sole fountain, of public good. Hitherto they have looked elsewhere and nearer ; for in polities as in religion these half educated people have not risen to a belief in an invisible power ; they must have the actual pre sence ; and as in religion they must have their dolls and pictures and the Host, so in politics they must see and touch the robes of royalty, and feel that benefits emanate from him, or else they will raise up their golden calf. The sight of the King, therefore, and the few boons which he has as yet conferred, have done much good, and hate created a sentiment and a conviction that did not exist before. You well know that I have always thought it was impolitic to banish all at once every sign of royalty here. I would have left the shadow of it at least, and my opinion was formed on a knowledge of the Neapolitans, who, like all people in a state of semi -civilisation, require signs. It Is for the same reason that they are such lovers of fetes ; and, truth to say, they have enough of them to gratify the wants of the most exacting. Last night the city was again illuminated for the third time, and the streets which were crowded to excess echoed with the vivas of the people. Reports, too, are pouring in from the most distant places of the general enthusiasm which has prevailed ; from Reggio Bari, Girgenti, Chieti, Avellino, Barletta come descriptions of illu minations and music, and the Prefects of Bari, Vasto, Terra d'Otranto, and the Capitanata, in the name of the populations, send welcome and congra tulation to the King. Of the places more imme diately in the neighbourhood of Naples I have already spoken ; the expression of public joy was spontaneous and universal. Of course it will be said it was all got up. Well, if so, it was a very exten sive " get up," and so many hands must have been employed about it as to prove the truth of my re presentations. Next Monday his Majesty goes to Salerno, the second city in Southern Italy, and holding a population always remarkable for their advanced liberal opinions. I have no doubt that the King will there have another grand ovation ; of this, however, I will speak when I have seen it. When last I visited that city it was on the occasion of the monster trial, well remembered as the " Cag liari" trial. As I left it I bade adieu behind his bars to Nicotera, who had just been condemned to death. Nicotera is now the Deputy for Salerno, and Victor Emmanuel is going down the accepted Sovereign of a place which but yesterday was the second city in the kingdom of the Bourbons. What marvellous changes one witnesses from day to day, and how mighty are the mysterious operations of Providence, which from disorder and darkness is now creating order and light ! "While at Salerno his Majesty will visit Persani, where the late Kings established an institution for breeding horses. Of late it has, I believe, been neglected, but it is to be hoped that greater attention will now be given to it. One fact which struck me on Mon day last, but to which I have not as yet adverted, was the great good will which evidently existed between the people and the military of all branches. As the latter defiled before the King they were greeted enthusitstically by all the people—of course the National Guards, and especially the Ber saglieri, whose smart appearance win the imagina tions of the Neapolitans. And yet those men more than :any others have been employed in putting down the brigands. It must, too, be confessed that the soldiers of the Northern army are a perfectly different class of men from the rough and cowardly brutes who, under the Bourbons, dishonoured the uniform by their excesses and cruelties. Tolerant and gentle, they are citizens in the midst of citizens, and I have not witnessed in the course of the last two years one single instance of disorderly or unsoldierly conduct ; and yet these troops are as brave as lions. And what have the Bourbonists been doing all this week? Gnashing their teeth, I suppose; for in the general enthusiasm which has prevailed they must have foreseen the destruction of their hopes. In the city they have made one or two impotent efforts to create disorder, but so childish that I should not have adverted to them but for the pro bability that the Legitimist press might note and exaggerate them. We have had one or two small bombs exploded, popguns to amuse babies, and two or three panes of glass broken thereby. Should you hear of them, take my word for it that I have not diminished the character or the effect of them. It is not at all unlikely that the thieves, who are legion, let them off to call off the police from other quarters where their companions might have a free field. On Tuesday night an impor tant arrest was made in the person of Captain Moxidana. He was residing in the Vomero, and in his house were found bombs in the course of construction, gunpowder, hemp, and all the other materials employed in the manufacture of these instruments. It appears that he has been one of those princi pally employed this winter in getting up the bombs which have from time to time created a panic in our streets. A telegram from Barletta, too, informs us that a domiciliary visit had been made in the house of the Bishop of Foggia, who resided in Andria, and that a dagger and compromising papers had been found. Monsignor was arrested and taken off to Foggia. One hears much of brigands in South ern Italy, but there cannot be the slightest doubt that th e c l ergy are at the bottom of every movement against the established order of things, and so long a, their influence continues we shall hear of disturbances. I would, therefore, in all seriousness suggest that means, which I frankly onerin°t point out, b e t a k e n to exchange them diocese t o another. This plan is bing confess fromadl o c i) a ted with the laity, both civilian and military, and if it could where adopt e d their power would be crippled, with the clergy ere a priest has made his nest he has an infinite number of chirp lings all around him who take — not their d a il y f oo d , very little of that is to be got . out of th e t their political food from this sot disant vase of the Holy Spirit. Remove the priest, breakup his littl e structure of straw and feathers, transport him to another place, and it will be long time before he can make another nest or get around him another brood. Though I h ave ma d e th e suggestion thus figuratively 1 do so with all seriousness, as I am convinced that it would be most efficacious—only the Government must win the bishops to their views. To arrest every priest who is suspected would be impossible; the remedy would be illegal, and worse than the disease ; but to traslocare a man who on tolerably good moral evidence was disloyalty charishin g to a Sovereign would be no great piece of severity, and would be of no infinite benefit to the public. [ADVERTIsEmENT.)—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills Outward Sores.—Daily experience confirms the fact, which has triumphed over opposition for 27 years, that no means arc known equal to Holloway's remedies for curing bad legs, sores, wounds, diseases of the skin, erysit elas, abscess, burns, scalds, and in truth all cases where the skin is broken. To cure these infirmities quickly i s of primary importance, or the compulsory confinement i n - doors weakens the general health.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 7, 1862, 7'HE ELECTIONS IN PRUSSIA. A letter from Brlin, dated May 3d, says : In the case of elections conducted on the Prussian system accurate results can, of course, be obtained only - el hen the second process (election of deputies by the electors chosen by the people) is over. Thai final operation is fixed to take place on the 6th inst. Meanwhile, and although there still are rural dis tricts where the issue Is uncertain, the general classification of the Chamber now in embryo is per fectly well known. The main political divisions are plainly marked, and one may reckon within a few the numbers that will array themselves under Liberal and under Conservative banners; also the strength of the two sections of the Chamber, Catholics and Poles, which are guided in their support of or op position to, a Cabinet more by regard to their own particular interests and desires than by the broader views of the main parties. The Catholics, or Ultra montanes, however, may generally be reckoned as allies and supporters of the anti-Liberal or reacting party, while the usual practice of the Poles has hitherto been to oppose all Governments in the supposed interest of their nationality and alleged wrongs. This last factious fraction of the Prussian Chamber has its importance when other parties are nearly divided, but only then, for it is small, and the elections for Wahlmantter have shown that it will be smaller than ever in this Parliament, the Ger man element having had completely the upper hand in the primary elections for the province of Posen. The strongholds of the Catholic party are in Silesia, the Rhine provinces, and Westphalia, but it is believed that even there they will prove to have been less successful this time than on any former occasion. As to the extreme Right, the old high Tory party, hero generally known as the Feudals, next Tuesday's voting will show it to have been signally defeated. In the last Chamber it numbered but a mere unimportant handful, but in this one, lip to a recent date, it was expected greatly to improve its position, such being the tendency of the electioneering measures of the Government. People talked of its returning 60 or 70 members, and then said it would certainly have 40 or 50, until just before the elections, when the spirit manifested in the country was so strong that Conservative prospects again became gloomy; and now there can be no question of that party having any weight, numerical or moral, in the coming Parliament. In the capital nothing could be more complete than its overthrow. Its own organ has declared that, according to its estimate, perhaps one-tenth of the Berlin votes were Con servative, one-fifth Constitutional (moderate Libe ral), and the remaining seven-tenths " Democrats," or advanced Liberals—by which, once for all, may here be understood the party which seeks, while fully maintaining the real rights of the Crown, ener getically and promptly to carry out and realize the spirit and benefits of the constitution. Ac cording to the most recent corrected accounts, it seems that all the towns of 20,000 inhabitants or upwards will return Liberal deputies. In short, as to the general results of the elections throughout the whole kingdom there is no difference of opinion, although, of course, there are immense differences of feeling. Since the 28th of April the Government organ (and there is but one in Berlin) has not known what to say to cover or alleviate the utter discom fiture of its employers. It assured the public , that the great predominance of the Party of Pro gress in the body of Wahlmanner chosen was not a fair reflection of the political convictions of the great body of electors, but that such an extraordi nary result was. due only to the activity and good discipline of that party. This assertion will hardly pass muster. Activity and discipline unquestionably have their value in elections, as elsewhere, and the Government stringently enjoined both these qualities on its legions of employes, who in Prussia are reckoned by hundreds of thousands, even those merely local functionaries who cannot be said to depend on the Ministry having been dragged within its action on this occasion. Nevertheless, its candidates have been nearly everywhere beaten —by no slender majorities, but by larger ones than at last autumn's elections. The Liberals almost everywhere won in a can ter. The means resorted to by the Government, the pressure exercised, the violent circulars of the sub-prefects and others, produced exactly the contrary effect to that intended, and caused num bers of electors to vote for Fortschritt candidates who otherwise would have supported a more mode rate political opinion, but who felt themselves com pelled to protest, by their suffrage, against the iden tification of the rights of the Crown with the prin ciples of the present cabinet. A more injudicious cry than that of " Crown against Parliament" could not have been devised. Based upon a mani fest falsehood, every lover of truth felt bound to discountenance it to the utmost. The Stern Zeitung to-day, in one of those chapfallen articles of which it has given us so many of late, declares that the reports concerning the elections of the 28th ult. are still so incomplete that a decided judgment cannot be formed as to the results. It admits, however, that the advanced Opposition will be strongly re presented in the next Chamber, and it fears that the Conservative element will not have sufficient influence at the elections for deputies so to modify what has been done as to allow a probability of the much-to-be-desired good understanding between the Government and the representatives of the na tion. The Stern Zeituny is perfectly justified in these forebodings, and if its employer§ make their stay in power contingent on their having a majority in the Chamber, they may prepare to vacate their official residences towards the end of the present month. As a proof of the strong interest felt by other German countries in the Prussian elections is cited the reception given to the Berlin electors at Leipsic, on their arrival there, or return thither, on Monday night last. A long train took a crowd of voters who had either returned to or remained in Berlin, instead of going to the fair, in order to exercise their fran chise. At the towns on the road, Bitterfeld end Delitsch, they found the stations hung with coloured lamps, and were greeted with hearty cheers by the assembled inhabitants. At Leipsic several thousand persons thronged the station and its environs ; the voters were received by members of the National Verein and by a chorus of singers, speeches were made in the waiting room, and the demonstration was enthusiastic in favour of the party of progress and of German unity. Abundant details have been received respecting the row at the little town of Muhlhausen, in East Prussia, briefly mentioned in a recent letter. The burgomaster of that place had acted most zealously in the Government interest, bad issued a flaming proclamation, and agitated among the lower classes of the population, who also, it is reported, had been excited against the respectable inhabitants by one or two persons of evil repute. The burgomaster and the sub prefect were both urged to take certain pre cautions deemed essential under the circumstances, but they did nothing. During the elections the attitude of the great rabble was such, and the inti midation used so great, that many of the Liberals dared not give their votes, and consequently only one Liberal was returned out of eight wahlnianner elected. The elections were very soon over; a short period of tranquillity ensued, but early in the after noon the mob made an attack on several h ouses o f the most apn they rominent Liberals, plundering and de o contained. One letter says that, in houses the owners of which it names, furniture, fixtures, window-frames, everything destructible, in short, were smashed into splinters, while all por table valuables were carried off. The persons whose property was thus assailed were some who had not allowed themselves to be deterred from voting. Several of them were also subjected to personal ill 4sage. The burgomaster did not interfere, and the gendarmes were inactive. Seeing that the authori ties would do nothing, one of the inhabitants got a telegraphic despatch sent to the neighbouring town of Braunsberg, and late in the afternoon a detach ment of 40 soldiers came over by train and restored order. Some 30 persons aro said to have been ar rested and committed to prison, and, if the Govern ment allows a proper investigation to be made, others are likely to find themselves in trouble. Ac• cording to a letter in a Berlin paper, the burgo master, Fritsch by name, has hueg himself, Several journals announce a disciplinary investi. gation to have been opened against M. Twesten, on account of his speethet3 at election meetings— speeches considered to have transgressed the prohi bitions contained in the Ministerial circulars, whereby Government functionaries were forbidden to agitate in an anti-Ministerial sense. At. Twesten, as you know, took very little account of such pro hibition, and he may probably lose his place in con sequence of his patriotic boldness, unless the Go vernment has sense enough (which is doubtful) to discern in time that by such prosecutions it only renders itself more and more odious, and creates a splendid position for the objects of its hatred when ever a Liberal Ministry shall come in. Notwithstanding the overwhelming superiority of the advanced Liberal element made manifest in last Monisy's meeting of the wahlmanner of the first district of Berlin, the so-called Moderates pro pose bringing forward Kuhne and two other can didates, without, as it is believed, a chance of suc cess. In a second meeting, since held, a letter was read from the venerable Professor Broeck; declin ing, on account of his advanced age, to be put for ward as a candidate, as had been proposed by a great majority of votes at the Monday's meeting, and expressing his thanks for a distinction and mark of confidence which thus came to cheer the evening of his life. Lieut.-Col. Valentini made a speech in a firm reactionary spirit, and proposed three candidates, whose names were reoeived with a perfect storm of ironical applause, and who will be put to the vote in to-night's meeting, to be, assuredly, almost unanimously rejected. Some of the Prussian provincial journals indulge in pretty plain speaking. 1 have before me a copy of the Banner Zeitung of Sunday last, one of the very few copies that escaped rigorous suppression in consequence of an article certainly not calculated to give much pleasure to M. von der Heydt, to whose election for Elberfeld Barmen it makes fierce opposition. He is charged with having dragged the Crown into the tumult of party strife, with having helped to swell the military budget and to dissolve the Chamber, which insisted on its proper revision, and with having remained Minister when his colleagues could no longer find it in their con science to do so. The chamelion-like changes of his political career are traced, and ho is congratulated on again finding himself associated with men of the Manteuffel stamp. It is a bold and telling article, too strong for the Prussian atmosphere, and was confiscated accordingly. The last decres of the Elector of Hesse Cassel has naturally excited not a little indignation here— as it has done in Hesse . among all except the members of that remarkable Jiessen- Verein, which has just issued a programme, declaring that " Jesus Christ is our heavenly Lord, and Elector Frederick Wil liam I. is our earthly Lord, invested with the office of ruler in Hesse not by men, but by God's ordi nance on earth," and demanding recognition of the constitution and of the electoral law of 1860. It, of course, had been anticipated that the step backwards taken here would not be without its effect else where. The new decree is simply a buffet given to Prussia, whose late Government, instead of acting independently in the Hessian question, had at last got Austria to act with it through the Frankfort Diet. Their proposal was made on the very eve of the Ministerial crisis in Berlin. The least it de manded was the re-establishment of the Constitu tion of 1831, and the least that could be expected was that the electoral Government, pending the Diet's decision, would leave the question in static quo ; and probably this would have been the case but for the change of Ministry in Prussia. The object of the present decree seems to be to prevent the Hessians from protesting against illegality, and making reserve of their rights, as they have already on three occasions done. The electors must now declare, before voting, that they do so on the basis of the Constitution• and electoral law of May, 1860, without any reserve. The calculation of the Government doubtless is that the great majority of the electors, who stand up for their constitutional rights, will not vote; but that a small minority, who can be influenced or intimidated, will return a sham Parliament, which will prove pliant to every Ministerial requirement. Backed by the vote of this phantom of a popular representation, the Elector may declare to the Federal Diet that inter ference in the affairs of his country has become quite superfluous, since he and his dutiful subjects have found the means of perfect agreement. Austria will probablynot take a great deal of pains to ascertain how far such argument is real. Count Rechberg is not credited with much anxiety in behalf of the oppressed and scandalously treated Hessians; and, as regards the Heydt-Bernstorff Ministry, the Prus sian Liberals will tell you that it is not likely those men will enter the lists very zealously in defence of constitutional rights in Hesse, who have lately been doing all they can to stint and cut it down in Prus sia. The electoral decree, however, was published on the 26th of March. The Prussian elections com menced only on the 28th, and their final and posi tive results will not be known till next week. Their moral effect will be great in Germany, and the de cree, although given, has yet to be carried out. pheropol, Sebastopol, Kertch, and thence to Odessa, 1 Constantinople, Adrianople, Boosa, Smyrna, Eng land, Ireland, and Scotland. In 1820 r e formed the:acquaintance of Lady Georgians Mary Walpole, and was married to her by the Rev. Mr. Simeon. Shortly after the marriage they went to Jerusalem, and, leaving her ladyship at Malta, from 1831 to 1834 ho proceeded to search for the Ten Tribes. He went to Alexandria, Anatolia, Constantinople, Armenia, and Khorassan, in which place he was made a slave, tied to a horse's tail, and ransomed by Abbas Mirza. Thence he pursued his journey to Bokhara, Balkh, Cabool,Lahore, and Cashmere, be ing received with great distinction by Runjeet Singh, Lord William Bentinck, and Sir Edward Barnes. Dr. Wolff then went by land from Loodi ana:to Calcutta in a palanquin, preaching on his pro gress at 130 stations. From Calcutta ho went to Masulipatam and Secunderabad, and was seized by cholera near Madras. On his recovery, he left Ma dras in a palanquin for Pondicherry, visited the snc cessfal mission in Tinnevelly, went to Goa, Bombay, Egypt, and joined Lady Georgiar a Wolff in Malta. In 1836 he journeyed to Abyssinia, and at Axtun he found Dr. Gobat, the present Bishop of Jerusa lem, who was very ill, and brought him back to Jiddah in Arabia, and there leaving him Dr. Wolff proceeded to Sanaa, in Yemen, where he visited the Reehabites and Yahabites, thence to Bombay and to the United States of North America, where he preached before the Congress, and was made doctor of theology. He was ordained deacon in 1837 by the Bishop of New Jersey, United States, and priest in the following year by the Bishop of Dromore. He made a second journey to Bokhara, in order if possible to effect the liberation of Col. Stoddart and Capt. Conolly, the particulars of which are fully detailed in his " Journey to Bokhara." In 1845 he was presented to the vicarage of Isle-Brewers, and held that benefice up to the time of his death. DEATH OF DR WOLFF. The Rev. Dr. Joseph Wolff, whose name is so intimately associated with Eastern travel, died a day or two since at Isle-Brewers, near Taunton, of which parish he was the vicar. Dr. Wolff was the son of a Rabbi, and was born at Weilersbach, near Forchheim and Bamberg, in the year 1795. Being of a studious disposition he learnt the Latin, Greek, and Hebrew languages, while still a Jew, in Halle, Weimar, and Bamberg. Ho was converted to Christianity through his acquaintance with the Count of Stolberg and Bishop Seiler, and wa a bap tised by Leopold Zolda, Abbot of the Benedictines of Emans, near Prague, in Bohemia, on the 13th of September, 1812. In 1813 he commenced the study of Arabic, Syriac, and Chaldean, and in that and the following year be attended the theological lec tures in Vienna, having for his friend Professor Jahn, writer on Biblical archeology; Fredk. von Schlegel, the poet Werner, and Hofbauer, the Gene ral of the Redemptorists. From 1814 to 1818 Dr. Wolff was, by the patronage of Prince Dalberg, enabled to pursue his studies at the University of Tubingen, which were chiefly directed to the Orien tal languages, more particularly Arabic and Per sian, as well as ecclesiastical history and Biblical exegesis, under Professors Stendell, Schnurrer, and Flatt. In 1816 Dr. Wolff left Tubingen, and among others visited Zschokke, Madame Krudener, and Pestalozzi in Switzerland. He also spent some months with Count Truchsez and Madame de Steel- Holstein, at Turin, delivering lectures in their circle, on the poetry of the Bllale. lie arrived the same year at Rome, and was introduced to Pope Pius VII., Cardinals Letta, Cacciapiati, Consalvi, Ostini, and the Ambassador, Niebuhr, the historian. Dr. Wolff was first received as a pupil of the Collegic- Romano, and then of the Collegio Propaganda, from 1816 to 1818; but his sentiments having been de clared erroneous, he was expelled from Rome and retraced hie steps to Vienna, where, after advising about his scruples with Fredk. von Schlegel, Dr. Emanuel Veit, and Hofbauer, he was prevailed upon to enter the Monastery of the Redemptorists at Val-Saint, near Fribourg; but not having been able to convince himself of the truth of Romanism as taught there, lie left Val-Saint, and came to Lon don to his friend the late Mr. H. Drummond, M.P., whose friendship he had formed at Rome, and placed himself for the study of Oriental languages under Dr. Lee of Cambridge, and for theology under the late Rev. Charles Simeon. Dr. Wolff then com menced his travels for the purpose of proclaiming the Gospel to Jews, Mahomedans, and Pagans, and of making researches among the Eastern Christians, thus preparing the way to missionary labours for the conversion of the Jews and Gentiles, from 1821 to 1826, in Egypt, Mount Horeb, and Mount Sinai, where he was the very first missionary who gave copies of the whole Bible to the monks and Bedouins. Thence he went to Jerusalem, where ho was the first missionary who preached to the Jews in Jeru salem. He afterwards went to Aleppo and Cyprus, from the latter of w Lich he sent Greek boys to Erng►- land to be edacated, and continued his travels in Mesopotamia. Persia, Tt fhs, the Crimea, where he visited the Ceraites, near Baghtschc-Serai, preach ing to the Ge'man colonists, as well as to Russians, Mahomedans, and Jews, at Karasu Bazaar, Sim- CITY COMMISSION OF SEIVEI?S. Yesterday, at the 'weekly meeting of the Commis sioners of Sewers, held at Guildhall, Mr. De Jersey in the chair, Dr. Letheby, the medical officer, in a special report, directed attention to the fact that complaints had been made to him of the storing of American petroleum in the ground floor of the house No. 8, St. Mary Axe. He reported that he had visited the premises, and had found that they were used in the way mentioned. Some of the American oils, he said, were exceedingly inflam mable, and would take fire on exposure to flame at a considerable distance from the vessels containing them ; and seeing how carelessly the oils were treated, not merely in the storage, but also in the general commercial management of them, he was of opinion that they ought to be sub ject to some stringent regulations, as well for the public health as for the public safety. Already such regulations were in operation in respect of the storage of other inflammable commodities, as gun powder, phosphorus matches, and methylated spirit. He added, in reply to Dr. Abraham, that except with reference to the public health, he did not think the Commissioners had any power to make such regulations, but the Court of Aldermen were empowered to deal with the matter as a dan gerous public nuisance. On the motion of Dr. Abraham, the report was referred to the Court of Aldermen for consideration.. The Improvement Committee reported that the Court of Common Pleas had recently delivered judgment on the joint ease submitted to them by the Commissioners and the Metropolitan Board of Works on the question whether the powers conferred by their Act of 1855 on that Board for naming the streets and number ing the houses within the metropolis overrode simi lar powers given by the:Act of 1848 to the Commis sioners of Sewers within the city of London. The Court, after argument, had decided that the Act of 1855 did in that respect override the Commissioners' Act of 1848. Mr. H. Lowman Taylor, a member of the Commission, and also of the Metropolitan Board, said, now that the question of right was determined, probably that Board would waive the exercise of it within the city to the Commission ers. Deputy Lott then moved that it be referred to the engineer and the medical officer to examine and report whether the light from the gas-lamps in the public streets was increased or diminished by the carburetting process recently applied to them, and whether the light thrown on the footways was not, as he submitted it was, obscured by the sha dow of the boxes containing the material used in the process. In the course of a discussion on this subject Mr. Haywood, engineer to the Commission, read a letter addressed to him by Mr. Massey, secretary to the Great Central Gas Company, com plaining that the Carburetting Company, in apply ing their process to public lamps within the city, were picking out a lamp here and there for the pur pose, to the inconvenience of the company. Mr. Massey also stated that a few days ago, as the Car buretting Company's men were fitting ono of their naphtha boxes to a lamp in Queenhithe, it ex ploded. This, he added, was the third accident of the kind that had occurred within the last three weeks. The directors of the Great Central had di rected him to c•al1 the most serious attention of the Court to an instance of explosion in a bracket lamp in Harrow-alley. Had, he said, one of the nume rous lamps fixed in the rear of the same premises ignited instead of the lamp in question, the great probability was that, occurring as it did late in the' night, the whole block of houses and buildings used as cattle sheds would have been burnt down. The owner of the property had made a communication as to the risk she was incurring, end expressing great fear and anxiety for the future. Dr. Abraham said probably the accidents referred to, which were exceptional, were due to mismanagement, and there fore preventible. At all events, they were not of a nature to induce the Commissioners to abandon the carburetting process, by which a great saving of money was being effected in the public lighting, and which he believed would be eventually adopted over the entire metropolis. Mr. H. Lowman Taylor held that the saving of money was at the expense of light, for he had observed on a recent occasion late at night a sort of twilight gloom in places where the process was in use. Besides, it was ob vious that the boxes containing the naphtha attached to the public lamps threw shadows on the ground. Dr. Abraham said it was welt known, long before the carburetting process was adopted, that at ad vanced hours of the night there was always a pau city of gas, consequent upon the companies relaxing their pressure. The subject, on the motion of Deputy Harrison, was eventually referred to the General Purposes Committee for deliberate inquiry ,r,nd report. Dr. Letheby reported on the state of 185 houses that had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 39 places for sani tary improvement. He likewise reported that the markets and slaughterhouses had been duly in spected, and that the officers had seized 3,8791 b. of meat and 755 head of game as unfit for food. The mortality returns for the week were a little above the average for the season. MADRAS RAIL WAY. The report of the direct Ors congratulates the shareholders on the completion of their main or south-west line, 406 miles in length, from Madras to Beypoor, and states—" During the half-year ending the 31st December the opening of additional sections increased the mileage of this line under traffic to 271 miles. By the last accounts the Ist of April was fixed for opening 65 miles more; and on the Ist of this month it was the intention to open the remaining intermediate portion of 70 miles; thus completing the communication by rail way from the one coast of the Indian Peninsula to the other. Of the north-west lino 27 miles are now open for traffic, and a further opening will take place in the course of the year. The traffic over the open part of both lines has been worked with the usual regularity and safety. During last year 1,124,817 passengers were carried without the oc currence of any accident. The increase in the goods traffic receipts has been considerable, notwith standing the unfavourable character of the season. "The shipments of materials, plant and stores in the year have amounted to 39,230 tons to Madras and Beypoor." GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. Yesterday a Wharncliffe meeting of this com pany was held at the King's cross Station for the consideration of th© hills affecting their interests at present before Parliament, but only three of them were ripe for discussion ; Mr. E. Daiism occupied the chair. The usual preliminaries having been disposed of, The CHAIRMAN said that the first bill was 013 C to enable the company to abandon a portion of the Uarston and Liverpool Railway already sanctioned by Parliament. He would now move that the bill be approved of. Mr. PACKE, M.P., seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed.to. The CHAIRMAN then moved that the meeting should approve of the Edgware, Highgate, and Lon don Railway Bill. The object of the bill was to enable the Great Northern Company to subscribe to the undertaking to the extent of one-third the proposed capital, or £73,300. Mr. l'AcKu having seconded the motion, it was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN next proposed that the meeting should approve of the Metropolitan Railway Bill, the object of which was to empower the directors to enter into agreements with the Metropolitan Company for the use of their line, and the inter change of traffic. Mr. PACKE seconded the motion, which was adopted, and the meeting was then adjourned fvr a fortnight. RAILWAY A N.D PUBLIC CO MP ANIES 11V PARLIAM.EN . Yesterday, the committee on the Amalgamation Bill of the Eastern Counties and other companies re-assembled, pursuant to appointment, Mr. Hassard in the chair. The proceedings, it may be remem bered, were adjourned until after the Easter recess, to allow of a reference being made to the Railway Department of the Board of Trade of the various financial and working arrangements in dispute be tween the Eastern Counties, Eastern Union, East Anglian, and other companies, but as their report had only just been presented for the consideration of the committee and the parties on the subject, the proceedings were adjourned until to-day. The case of the Bristol and South Western Junction was closed in Mr. Adair's committee, after a fortnight's inquiry, and that of the Radstock and Keynsham line, the sixth and last competing line to be heard in this collective group of rival lines, was opened by Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, who pointed out that it would consist of a main line of 13 miles from the Radstock branch of the Great Western to their sta tion at Keynsham, with branches to local collieries, to be met by a capital of £160,000 in shares and £53,000 loan, the Great Western subscribing the latter amount. Evidence was taken in support of the bill, which is opposed by the London and South Western. The case of the West Riding, Hull, and Grimsby Railway, which has occupied Mr. Puller's committee three weeks, closed with corroborative engineering evidence, and the remainder of the day was occupied by Mr. Merewether, Q.C., on be half of the Lancashire and Yorkshire in opposition to the bill. The clauses of the Vale of Clwyd Rail way were brought up and settled in Lord Stanley's committee, and further evidence continued in favour of the Wellington and Cheshire Junction. The bill of the West Midland Railway, fur additional branches and works, was opened in Mr. Woodd's committee, after the clauses of the Tewkesbury and Malveru, and Shrewsbury and Hereford bills were settled. SPORTING 11V7ELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.- Ty ESDAY. The largest attendance ever known in the town and on the heath of Newmarket was that of yesterday ; visitors seemed to pour in, and so rapidly did they arrive that by 11 o'clock the High-street was a moving multitude, and the passage to and from the subscription-room a matter of much difficulty. Betting on the great race varied but little from our yesterday's quotations; but Buckstone had many opponents for the Derby, and for the Chester Cup Fair water and Simla were in bad odour. Nottingham's friends were very sanguine in their expectations, and Caterer also was warmly supported ; nevertheless, Marquis remained firm to the moment of starting. The masses moved to the raceground at 12 o'clock, and found it looking like a bow ling-green under the rays of a bright sun. Of the nine items on the card the first was over the Beacon Course, for which two wretched animals walked and cantered three miles before they attempted to gallop. Three other races were next run, and, then, at a quarter-past three, came the feature of the meeting. Seventeen went to the post, and after some time had been wasted in breaking away a fine start was effected. The two favourites, Nottingham and Marquis, ran on opposite sides of the course, the latter hav ing the same place and the same jockey as The Wizard had two years ago. Like that horse, ho was seen in front a quarter of a mile from home, and, like him, he won with ease. The remainder of the races engrossed but small attention after the great event had been decided, and at a quarter to five o'clock the immense multitude left the heath well contented with an excellent day's sport. Sweepstakes of 300 sous each, 100 ft; for 4-yr-olds, colts, Bst 101 b ; and fillies, Bst 51b. B.C. 5 subs. Lord Zetland's Matador, Bst 101 b (A. Edwards) 1 Sir J.

He performed in public yesterday for the sixth time ; and as he has been successful on each occasion that he has pre sented himself on a race-course, it may not be uninteresting to our sporting made: s to know any particulars which we can furnish. His first appearance was in the Bishop Bur ton Stakes, run for at Beverley, on which occasion he beat five other 2-yr-olds, including Zetland, who ran fourth. Ho next appeared at Pontefract, when he won the Londes borough Stakes in a canter; and ran a dead heat with Neptunus for the Park Hill Stakes, they beating four others, The Marquis subsequently walking over. Doncaster was the next place where he was stripped to add another laurel to his veteran trainer's credit, when he won the Champagne Stakes cleverly by a head, after getting a bad start; this time beating Imperatrice, Tolurno, Ashford, Feu de Joie, Brother to Roesia, and Cellarius. His final appearance as a two-year-old was at the last Newmarket Second October Meeting, when he carried off the Prender gast Stakes by four lengths, beating Carisbrook, Brazenose, Emerald colt, and Canwell. Our report of yesterday's racing furnishes the part.culars of his latest success, and to it we refer inquirers. COUNTRY MARK L. 2 • LYNN-TUESDAY.
