The lot left the post at the first attempt. Abron imme- diately after rushed to the front, and cut out the work at a strong pace, closely followed on the whip-hand by Black lock, with Maid of the Mist and Vertumna on the near side, the favourite, with Humming Bird, lying close up. On rounding the turn into the straight Abron slipped his horses, and came on with a clear lead of several lengths, Vertumna going on second, Blacklock third, with Sacerdos at his girths next. In this way they ran to half-way in the distance, where the favourite obtained the third place, but was unable to reach Abron, who won in a canter, by four lengths ; two lengths between second and third ; Blacklock was a bad fourth; the others beaten off.

After two slight failures, in the first of which the favour- ites, Hugh Lupus and Narmion, broke away and ran to the distance, the flag was lowered to an admirable start. Princess Louisa, next the rails on the far side, jumped away with a slight lead, having for her immediate followers Bat- tery, Little Woman, and Hugh Lupus, the others, headed by the favourite, in the centre, Marmion and Herdsman lying close in their wake. On reaching the distance Prin cess Louisa gave way to Marmion, who came on with the running, on the near side, Princess Louisa being second, Battery third, Herdsman fourth, with the favourite, at his girths, next ; the others widely spread bringing up the rear. At the half-distance the favourite came out, and in a few strides obtained a clear lead ; Herdsman at the same time passed Battery and Princess Louisa and took the third place, the three finishing the race home, the favourite R in ning, after some rousing, by three lengths; two lengths separating the second and third, and a length between the third and fourth ; Battery was fifth, and Little Woman sixth; the others finishing in a cluster, the last three being Birdlime, Jack's Alive, and Hugh Lupus.

Liberality, in company with Grant and Cowslip, made the running, with the others in close attendance to the dis tance, where Grant dropped back, and his place was taken by Harmony, who went on in attendance upon the two leaders, who laid locked together, and finished a fine run home with a dead heat, Harmony finishing half a length in their rear; the Priest was a good fourth, close up with whom were Grant and Miss Mary ; the other two were beaten off some distance. Deciding Heat.—Bettlg, 11 to 10 on Liberality, who waited upon the non-favourite to the stand enclosure, then came with a rush and won easily by half a length, The winner was bought in for 23 guineas.

On settling into their places Diadem was the first to show in advance, followed by Nelly, Tippler, King William, and Shropshire in the order we have given them, Harry bring ing up the rear, in which order they cleared the flight of hurdles in front of the stand, but on landing the French man obtained the second position, and followed closely in the wake of Diadem, who increased his lead, rounding the top turn, the lot running thus to the flight of the hurdles at the three-quarters of a mile post, which the lot jumped close together. On reappearing in sight Tippler was seen slightly in advance of Land's horse and Nelly; Harry, having quitted his rearward position, was fourth, Shropshire next, with King William acting as whipper-in. On reaching the hurdles in front of the stand, Diadem again resumed his lead, but on rounding the top turn W. White brought the favourite to the front, who in a few strides was in possession of a commanding lead, Tippler going on second, Diadem third, and Nelly next, Harry and King William bringing up the rear. In this way they ran into the straight, where Diadem and Nelly having had enough, were passed by Harry and King William, who ran in the wake of the leader to the flight of hurdles at the distance, which Harry cleared in advance of Tippler, but was never enabled to reach the favourite, who won in a canter by six lengths, half a length between second and third; a bad fourth.

The steamship Teutonia arrived at New York on Feb. 16, and the Edinburgh on the 18th. The British gunboat Racer sailed from New York for Bermuda on Feb. 16. The main feature of the news is the further suc cess of the Federal forces in the capture of Fort Donnelson, with a large number of prisoners and munitions of war, the details of which will be found below. The late continued successes of the Federal forces has caused the greatest enthusiasm through out the principal Northern cities, and the most san guine and hopeful expectations of a speedy termi nation of the rebellion are entertained generally by the people. The press also appear universally con vinced that the rebellion has culminated. The effect of the news commercially is thus de scribed in the New York Times of Feb. 18: " The street was wild with enthusiasm on the news from the South-West of the capture of Fort Donnelson. The Stock Exchange was happy and t t h h e e announcement of resounded with ment of the news. The f ab e Pu e Po li yP n al g anut i s s 'ea w on e nd ll ni universal that the worst of our civil war is over, find-that an early return of the Border States to their allegiance is inevitable. The Gulf States, it is believed, must follow at no distant day, the first of them being Louisiana with her sugar interest, and the renewal of the intimate rela tions of New Orleans with the upper valley of the Mississippi and Ohio. " The additional advances under this news in the stock-market are 1 per cent. on the railway shares, and 3 to 4 per cent, on the State stocks of Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The last-named rose 6 per cent. on Saturday's sales, and 10 per cent. on the rates current a week age "per cent, higher on per Cents.. of 1874, and steady on the Six per "The National . 30c. per Securitiesc Cent. nt. Treasury were Bends, and Five Cents. of 1881. Another remarkable change in the market was a fall of 1 per cent, in gold, which, from 1044 to 1041 on Saturday afternoon, fell to 1032 to 1031 at the close of business to-day." In the Senate yesterday (17th inst.) various peti tions were presented, among them one asking that the full rank of Major-General should be conferred upon General Wood. Mr. Latham reported his Bill authorising a survey with a view to construct a telegraph line across Behring's Straits. The joint resolution relative to the payment of the Oregon and Washington war debt,. settling the method of paying the awards, wa s passed. A despatch received from General M'Clellan, announcing the suirender of FOrt Donnelson, was read, and caused the greatest excitement, the floors and galleries joining unchecke(4-alid indiscriminately in the applause. Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, obtained leave to offer a joint resolution, thanking the army and navy for their heroic gallantry as exhibited is recent battles, which was passed. In the House the victory at Fort Donnelson first claimed attention, and the news created so much excitement that for a time it appeared impossible that any business could be done. Two or three motions to adjourn were made, but they were not carried. The Committee of Ways and Means, in a pro tracted session, this morning debated and voted upon the several amendments made by the Senate to the first two sections of the Legal Tender Bill. MM. Corning, Morrill, Horton, and Stratton voted throughout to concur in all the changes of principle. MM. Stevens, Spaulding, Hooper, and Maynard ad hered to all the distinctive features of the Bill as passed by the House, the vote thus standing 4 to 4. Those amendments of the Senate were not concurred in which make the issue of new notes 100,000,000 dols., instead of 150,000,000 do's., which includes the 50,000,000 dols. autho rised July 17, require the interest on the bonds and notes to be paid in coin, make the 20 year Bonds redeemable after five years, autho rise the conversion of notes in sums not less than 100 dols. into 7 3-10 Bonds, make the funded 6 per Cents. redeemable after five years, and payable in 20 years instead of redeemable after 20 years, as the house directed, and authorise the throwing of the Bonds on the market for what they will fetch. A special despatch to the New Fork Times, dated Fort Donnelson, Feb. 16, gives the following ac count of the capture of that place by the Federals : "Fort Donnelson surrendered at daylight this morning (16th) unconditionally. We have Generals Buckner, Johnston, Bushrod, and 15,000 prisoners and 3,000 horses. Generals Pillow and Floyd, with their brigades, ran away on steamers without letting Buckner know of their intention. General Smith led the charge on the lower end of the works, and was the first inside the fortifications. " The prisoners are loading on the steamers for Cairo. " The Federal loss is heavy, probably 400 killed and 800 wounded. There is a large percentage of officers. " The enemy's loss is heavy, but not so large as ours, as they fought behind intrenchments. " The fort would have been taken by storming on Saturday had not the ammunition of the Fede rals given out in the night. "The enemy turned the Federal right for half an hour, but this ground thus lost was afterwards more than regained. Gen. Lanham's Brigade of General Smith's Division was the first in the lower end of the enemy's works, which were taken by a charge of the bayonet. " As nine-tenths of the rebels were pitted against our right, our forces on the right were ready all night to recommence the attack. On Sunday morn ing they were met on their approach by a white flag, Gen. Buckner having sent early in the morn ing a deipatch to Gen. Grant, surrendering. "The rebels lose 48 field-pieces, 17 heavy guns, 20,000 stand of arms, besides a large quantity of Commissary stores. " The a l ederal troops, from the moment of the investment of the fort on Wednesday, lay on their arms night and day, half the time without provi sions, all the time without tents, and a portion in a heavy storm of rain and snow." Another special despatch from Fort Donnelson, dated Chicago, February 17 , says :-- " The forces were about equal in numbers, b u t of position, b e i ng , with their fort ground. From t wn h es e al rl rebels ftohret i fir had ievdero a no l nl two t a h e l iw a m d en i v r ao piece e hillo f s the foot of their intrenchments rifle pits and abattis extended up the river behind the town of Dover. Their fortifications on the land side back from the river were at least four miles in length. Their water battery in the centre of the fortifications, where it came down to the river, mounted nine heavy guns. " The rebels were sure of success. In any other cause and against less brave troops they could easily have held the position against 100,000 men. " The business of getti n g the different brigades in position for attaching took ttach up t ingthe new arrivals to the he greater portion of Friday night. At d a y li g ht on Sunday the enemy opened on the 18th Illinois , when Colonel Colesby's different brigade was soon engaged, and was soon followed by Wallace's and M'Arthur's brigades, the latter acting under General M'Clernand, as the position of the troops had been changed during the night, and General Grant had been called away to the gunboats. " The movements of the troops, except those at tached to M‘Clernand's division, were made with out anything except general orders. " At a suggestion from General M'Clernand, General Wallace sent up four regiments to support his division, who were nearly out of ammunition. "From the commencement till near ten o'clock the fighting was terrific. " The three brigades composing General M'Cler nand's division bore the brunt of the battle. " It was found that the enemy was concentrating his main force to turn our right, which was done by our men getting out of ammunition, and in the con fusion of getting up reinforcements retreating about half a mile. As soon as the division, which had stood its ground manfully for three hours, retired, the enemy occupied the field, when General Grant ordered General Smith to move forward his division and storm the enemy's works on our left. This order was obeyed with great alacrity, and soon the cheering of the soldiery was heard, and the Union flag displayed from within the enemy's entrench ments. " General Grant then sent word to General 111Tlernaud that General Smith was within the enemy's entrenchments, and ordering their forces to move forward and renew the attack on their right. One of General Wallace's brigades—the 11th Indiana, Bth Missouri, and some Ohio regiments-- was rapidly thrown into position, and Company A of the Chicago Light Artillery was planted in the road, and as the rebels, supposing the Federals were in retreat, came out of their works into the road, the Chicago soldiers poured a hailstorm of grape and canister into their ranks, slaughtering dozens of them. " Simultaneously with this the infantry began firing at will, and the rebels went pell-mell back into their works, our men advancing and taking possession of the ground lost, and of a hill besides. Fresh troops who had not been in action Nv as then thrown forward, and as night drew on the Federals were in a strong position to participate in a simul taneous. attack to be made on Sunday morning. Generals Ogelsby's, Wallace's, and M'Arthur's bri gades did the hardest fighting, and suffered terribly. They would undoubtedly have held their first posi tion but for the failure of the ammunition. The ammunition waggons were some distance off, the hills preventing their being moved. The Federals lost three lieutenant-colonels, and at least one quarter of all the other officers were wounded or killed. "During Saturday night a contraction of ah our lines was made for a simultaneous assault from every point, and orders were given by General Grant to take the enemy at the point of the bayonet. Every man was at his post. The 57th Illinois was on the extreme right. " At daylight the advance was made, and when the full light of day broke forth white flags were hung at many places along the enemy's works. "An officer at a convenient point was informed that they had stacked their arms and surrendered early in the morning, the following correspondence having passed between the commanders : " GENERAL BUCKNER TO GENERAL GRANT. " Head-quarters, Fort Donnelson, Feb. 16. " Sir,—ln consideration of all the circumstances governing the present situation of affairs at this station, I propose to the commanding officer of the Federal forces the appointment of commissioners to agree upon terms of capitulation of the forces at this post under my command. In that view I sug gest an armistice until 12 o'clock to-day. " I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, " L. B. BUCKNER, Brigadier-General, C.S.A. " To Brigadier-General U. S. Grant, commanding the United States' forces near Fort Donnelson." " GENERAL GRANT TO GENERAL BUCKNER. " Head-quarters on the Field, Fort Donnelson• Feb. 16. " Sir,—Yours of this date, proposing an armistice and the appointment of Comm!ssioners for settling terms of capitulation, is just received. No terms except unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted. " I propose to move immediately on your works. " I am, very respectfully, your obedient servt., " U. S. GRANT, Brigadier-General Commanding. " To General S. B. Buckner." :Per America, by 'Telegraph from New York to Halifax.) NEW YORK, FEB. 21. Lord Palmerstoß's statement that England would remain neutral has caused a favourable effect poli tically. The New York Times states it is rumoured that Mr. Carl Schuz will go as Minister to Russia, in stead of Mr. Cameron. Mr. Wilmot will go to Spain, instead of Mr. Schuz. It is rumoured through Southern sources that the Confederate General Johnstone had offered to evacuate Nashville providing that private property were respected. No answer has yet been given to this offer. From Missouri it is reported that the Federals had attacked Price and another General in Arkan sas, and that after a short engagement Gen. Price had fled, leaving behind a quantity of baggage. The New York Times reviews the Queen's pro clamation closing the British ports to Federal ves sels, and compares this course with the shelter and cordial treatment afforded to [British vessels in Federal ports, and with Mr. Seward's permission for British troops to pass through Maine. It argues that the masses of the English people are friendly to America, but that the British Ministry is at open war with the United States. The New York press generally is indignant at the proposed monarchy in Mexico. The New York, World considers it an insult to the Federal Govern ment, which at any other time would be resisted with the whole power of the American nation. It thinks that a Monarchy in Mexico can only be sup ported by European bayonets. "In the meantime," it continues, " the Southern rebellion is about to be crushed, and as soon as this is accomplished nothing would be so likely to cement the alienated• North and South as the union of :their arms in common effort to maintain the Monroe doctrine, any infringement of which would formerly have been resented by North and South, but with more warm and vigour by the South than by the North." According to an Associated Press despatch from Washington, the Secretary of State sees in the late European advices a satisfactory reaction in Eng land and the Continent in favour of the United States. Special satisfaction is felt at the congratu lations from Rasssia and Italy on the settlement of the Trent affair, " which is regarded :as the bow of promise of peace and freedom of commerce." The American Geographical Society have asked the intercession of Congress in reference to a ship canal connecting the River St. Lawrence nucl. the Great Lakes on the Northern boundary with the Atlantic Ocean in New York Bay in any future ad justment of commercial relations between America and England. The New York 7ribune considers that, deeply as it is to be deplored, it will be the slow work of years to place England and America on the same footing as 16 months ago : _ " If civil war were ended to-morrow the respect America would regain in English political circles would neither be due to blood relationship nor com mon commercial interests, .but to the victorious naval and military force now asserting the power of the Federal Government. In mutual relation ships England and America have travelled back many fears." The Tribune fears that neither friendly protocols nor joint telegraph expeditions can make it other wise, and thinks that the progress of the European invasion of Mexico, and the newly-developed policy of its promoters, add new incentives to vigorous prosecution against rebellion. The New York Times says that since the Donnel son victory the popular cry is for the old Union, no confiscation, no vengeance, but the banishment of the rebel leaders, and a general amnesty for all who will return to the old flag. " America should present to Europe, not a weakened, but an aggrandised Republic. Not 34 States only, but as many as can conveniently be added. Let North and South be friends again, Let mutual prosperous trade be restored, and with a mllion of men inured to arms, with cotton and cold steel they would rule the world." The news of the capture of Savannah has not been confirmed. The latest Southern accounts state that preparations for an attack was still proceeding. Numerous steamers with supplies for Burnside's expedition continue to leave Fortress Monroe. General Halleck, in thanking the troops for the victories on the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, said : " The war is not ended. Prepare for new con flicts and new victories. Troops are concentrating from every direction. We shall soon have an army which will be irresistible. The Union flag must be restored everywhere, and the enthralled Union men in the South must be set free. The soldiers and sailors of the great West are willing to do this. The time and place have been determined on. Victory and glory await the brave." On the 19th inst., in the Senate, the resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Captain Wilkes was indefinitely postponed. • Mr. Wilson will propose a resolution to present a silver medal, in the name of Congress, to the Volunteers who have distinguished themselves during the war. Washington will be illuminated on the 2211 inst. A Springfield despatch announces that General Curtis had driven the Confederates out of Missouri, beyond the Arkansas line, and that a son of General Price had been captured. According to despatches from Frederick, Mary land, Mr. Faulkner, late Minister to Paris, had made a speech saying that secession, as carried out, was a failure. "It had been accompanied by un necessary waste of life and the best blood of the South." Mr. Faulkner said he had no affiliation with those who wished the war to continue, and had no doubt his remarks reflected the true senti ments of nine-tenths of the people of the upper counties of the Potomac. The House of Representatives has passed the Bill making Treasury notes a legal tender, and has agreed to the Senate's amendment making the in terest payable in coin. The Confederate General Buckner, captured at Fort Donnelson, has been arrested on a Federal civil warrant on a charge of treason. The Confe derates have evacuated Clarksville, and are supposed to have removed everything to Nashville, where the next stand would be made. Rumours are current of l ie evacuation of Colum bus by the Confederates. The Californian Legislature has passed a resolu tion protesting against the policy of taxing Califor nian gold mines by the general Government, as proposed by the Secretary of the Interior. Considerable popular excitement exists concern ing the execution of Captain Gordon, which is ap pointed for to-morrow morning. Numerous peti tions have been forwarded to Washington to com mute the sentence. Vera Cruz advices to the Bth inst. report consi derable sickness among the European troops. The allies were preparing to advance, and the Mexicans consolidating for resistance. President Lincoln has issued a proclamation urging the people throughout the United States to assemble in their customary places for public solemnities on the 22d of February, to celebrate Washington's birthday, by causing to be read Washington's farewell address. The Secretary for War has written the following letter to the editor of the New York Tribune : Syiro, official - acia action.nno t The eg undue glory yo f meritoto our r recentbe ascribed victo ries to ‘ m i belongs to the gallant officers and soldiers that fought the battles. No share of it belongs to me. Much has recently been said of military combinations and organising victory. I hear such phrases with apprehension. They com menced in infidel France with the Italian cam paign and resulted in Waterloo. Who can organise victory ? Who can combine the elements of success on the battle field ? We owe our recent victories to the spirit of the Lord that moved our soldiers to rush into the battle field, and filled the hearts of our enemies with terror and dismay. The inspiration that conquered in battle was in the hearts of the soldiers, and from on high; and wher ever there is the same inspiration there will be the same results. A,patriotic spirit, with resolute cou rage in officers and men, is a combination that never failed. We may well rejoice at the recent victories, for they teach us that battles are to be won now, and by us, in the same and only manner that they were ever won by any people or in any age since the days of Joshua, by boldly pursuing and striking the foe. What, under the blessing of Providence, I conceive to be the true organisation of victory and military combination to end this war was declared in a few words by Gen. Grant's message to Gen. Buckner—' I propose to move immediately on your works: —Yours truly, " EDWIN M. STANTON," The Kangaroo arrived out on Feb.l9. The Asia and Bohemian have also arrived out.

At the first blush it might appear strange that an occasion to the rest of the world bearing somewhat of a solemn and penitential character should be selected, but a moment's reflection will show that ordinary rules against tg the holi a d e a c y, u. , do not apply to the theatrica l 'p rofession. In this p r t a h v e e y s t a o r e w il ling f callings, to they d e ye devote re respect limited mankindat t o la be large set is g a b n u d sie i s t t i w s h a e f n act entitled mations charged upon the votaries of the s t age , th a t oftheir e c t r es embling the one night to the sacred cause of charity. Had the celebration taken place one eveni • ng earlier, it would have fallen on the concluding• night of the Carnival, with the mysterious rites of which the Germans, [under the name of Faschings, associate the origin of their dramatic literature. Be the merits of the question what they may, one fact is beyond dispute, that the members of the profession mustered strongly in support of an association which seeks to provide a sick fund for the relief of dramatic, equestrian, and musical performers. Conventional usage being laid aside, ladies were in vited to join in the proceedings, and Mrs. Stirling and Miss Amy Sedgwick occupied seats to the right and left of the chairman, Sir Charles Taylor. The following members of the corps dramatique were likewise among those present : —Miss Fanny Stirling, Miss Rosina Wright, Miss Charlotte Saunders, Miss Sarah Booth, Miss Clara Fisher, Mr. B. Webster, Mr. P. Bed ford and Mrs. Bedford, Mr. and Mrs. Toole, Mr. and Mrs. Swanborough, Miss Button, &c. An excellent dinner was provided, at the conclusion of which, grace having been sa id and the usual loyal toasts given, the chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, said that of all the charities to be found in this wonderful city of London there was none in which the money was applied more directly to the object in view than that which he had the honour to advocate. It was especially deserving o f support, because those who were relieved, instead of becoming completely broken up, were often en abled by its means to work on prosperously to the end of their days. During the five years over which the accounts extended, it had relieved 2,575 days of sickness, it had met 155 cases of distress, and had Pa id for 266 journeys to places had been provided for necessitous • applicants. Its beneficial operation extended to all, whether it were the gentleman who played Hamlet or Mac beth, the humbler f per ormer who went on with a banner at 18. a night, or the carpenter who sus tained an injury from a "vamp went of 12s.'6d. a year, or 3d. weekly was insured in case of s. Cover- funeral expenses. Through thkinftek. rosity of patrons they were enabled to give where a benefit society could, at the most, pru dently and properly offer 2s. Mr. B. Webster, whose name had been coupled with the toast, in re sponding, assured the company that he felt an in terest in the welfare of the association deeper than many persons could possibly imagine. He had known the want of a bit of bread ; he had wan dered by the seashore, glad to get the smallest frag ment the waters might cast up; he had suffered and worked on industriously and honourably in a career which had at length led him up to his pre sent position. Mr. Webster warmly eulogised the association, and concluded by proposing " The Health of the Secretary, Mr. Anson." In the course of his remarks Mr. Anson stated that owing to the prevalence of sickness, the cases relieved during the last six months were almost as numerous as in tize whole of the previous year. Assistance had been afforded in 31 cases,and 72 journeys had been paid for. Mr. Webster proposed the chairman's health, who gave in return that of Mr. Roberts, coupling his name with the toast of" The Fine Arts." Mr. Thos. Taylor th en i n t ro d uce d a t oas t w hi c h h e sa id was always welcome, but was that night attended with peculiar interest-.." The Ladies." Mrs. Stirling, on behalf of her professional sisters, thanked the Dra matic Association for the change in the order of their dining, and in a short speech, delivered with feeling and great ease of manner, touched on the evils from which the association was calculated to rescue poor actresses. The company shortly after wards adjourned to the balkreom, where the festi vities were prolonged to an' advanced hour. Under the leadership of Mr. Genge, several well-known musical artistes contributed to the success of the festival ; and Mr. Toole, as usual, volunteered his serviees as toastmaster. Upwards of £l7O was col lected in tie course of the evening. 21I1?1AV1. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham Dockyard which direct a report to be made by the officials of that establishment of the num ber and description of any models of modern ships which can be forwarded to the Great International Exhibition. The iron armour plates for the Royal Oak, 51, are to undergo the process of annealing at Chathim, on their delivery by the contractors. In the construc tion of the upper deck of the vessel arrangements are to be made for the distribution of the 110 poun- I der Armstrong guns, which in this class of ship will be placed on rear chock carriages, without directing bars. The iron screw steamship Warrior, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., was towed on Wednes day morning from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze, where she will refit, and have defects made good. It is expected that the Revenge and St. George, in Plymouth Sound, will shortly be removed to Hamoaze. The Balaklava, screw transport, is discharging at Portsmouth the guns and equipment complete for ;artil lery, ordered to he stationed at Hi lsea . the I and batteries of Armstrong field ;artil apt. It A. The Defence, 18, screw iron frigate, C Powell, C. 8., steamed out of Portsmouth haibour shortly before high water yesterday, and anchored i n readiness for her second trial of speed red mile, or her cruise in the Channel, Admiralty may direct. The trial had been arrangedaaasttS h tthe e mh Pitee t a o s a d take place on Tuesday last, but on rais ing the screw to examine it, in consequence of the ship's getting on the ground in returning to the harbour from her former trial, it was found to have sustained such damage that it became necessary to replace one of its blades, which had been damaged, by another, before the ship was again put under steam. This was accomplished on Tuesday, but too late for the trial to take place, and it was in conse quence postponed until yesterday. A strong south west gale, however, again postponed the trial, and the ship, as already stated, brought np at spit head, pending further instructions from the Ad miralty. In leaving the harbour the Defence yes terday again manifested great want of readiness in answering her helm. Her engines were reversell on one part of her course to save her from getting upon the beach. The Defence is fitted with a bent iron tiller, similar to that of the Warrior, which ought to have great power over her helm. The barrel of her wheel, however, appears to be of too great diameter. Whatever the cause may be, it would appear to be remediable, if the fact of her quickness of movement when once she gives sign of obeying her helm is to be trusted to. The eight men at her wheel seem to expend a great deal of muscular force without producing an alteration in the ship's course in the time usually allowed. This certainly indicates a loss of power somewhere be tween the wheel and the rudder head. The fault, however, will, without doubt, be discovered, and, if possible, rectified before the ship again gets under weigh. The casing and extension of the rudder of the Black Prince, iron frigate, is being carried out at Portsmouth with wood as an experiment. The area of the rudder will be increased from 20 feet draught of water downwards. The ship's bulwarks and main decks have within the last few days received their first coat of paint since she has been at Ports mouth. Her hammock nettings and upper deck portlids are now complete. Her new fish-heads, u however, are not yet out of the blacksmith's shop, nor has the fitting of her hydraulic steering appa ratus been commenced by the contractor. In consequence of the limited accommodatio n at the Upnor Castle powder magazines , Chatham, for storing shells, the Government has decided on en largingn a uiv expenseely for s of storingabot £4,000, of which a mount the sum of £2,000 has a lready been voted. The Volage, 26 , has been fitted up as a temporary floating magazine at the port of Chatham, and the presisetnot be used a de t exclusively shells to be supplied to the ships fitting . for sea at that station and Sheerness. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Edward Denny, to the Nile; James Robertson, master, to the Styx; Sub-Lieut. A. L. Trevor, to the Edgar; John E. Corbett has been nominated to a naval cadetship ; the Rev. John J. Balleine, chaplain and naval in structor, to the Boscawen ; Dr. Henry Richardson, surgeon to the Boscawen ; and Thomas S. Chanter, assistant-paymaster in chargit .......... t0 the Boscawen. THE ARMY. d t i h o e us :l r o id st in a g pp s r ch ov o e o d l f p o r r in th ci e ples in struction of the offi cers . an troops attached to the cavalry depot has lus t . been completed at the back of the barracks at Maidstone, by Mr. Naylar, the Government contractor. The building is very large, constructedn commodious The necessary buildings and offices are attached for the use of the officers and men under instruction. A number of the n on - commissioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers who left England some years since, for the purpose of making a complete survey of the British territories in Western North. America, have returned to England. They arrived at head quarters, Chatham, a few days since. The chief duties in which the detachment of Royal En andAis l arge a En gineers were engaged were in tracing the boundary of the Oregon territory, and in laying down the boundary line between Frazer River and the ex treme termination of British territory in Central North America. The labour required on the part of the Royal Engineers engaged in the undertaking was severe and exhausting, as the boundary ha d often to be carried across dense forests, in w hich the party of surveyors were l iterally co mpelled t o . hew their way. The men employed rece iv ed t a high scale of working pay, in addition w regimen tal pay. The remainder of the o ffice rs heir and men . forming the expedition will shor tly ar r ive in Eng land. ___—..........., Mr. Windham, so well k us n i o n w g n s( t e co o n f n t e h e e ti l o v n in dr with so a recent inquiry, has been au folks for several days pa st with his freaks, by liberall y dis pensing his hospitality a t tho various publich ouses i n the so sh l a d p ie e rs o , f and Jar. e ' spirits) beer, steaks, &C., t o cabmen, .
