Yesterday a district court-martial assembled at Chatham garrison, under the presidency of Major W. J. Chads, 64th Regiment, for the purpose of trying Corporal W. Hatton, 53d Regiment, on the following charges : "Ist. For having, in London, without leave from any lawful authority, left an escort proceeding from Chatham to 'Usk, Monmouthshire, of which he was in charge, on or about the 22d Dec :1857, and not returning until the 26th, when he was found deficient of several articles of his regimental necessaries. " 2d. For having, on or about the same time and place stated in the first charge, embezzled or made away with the sum of 51. 12e. 6d., being public money intrusted to him for the purpose of subsisting the escort under his charge, and of payinst the expenses of two prisoners whom be was directed to convey from Uek to Chatham." Tho prisoner has been in the service only a short time, and has hitherto borne a very good character. evidence in support of the charge having been heard, the Court found the prisoner guilty. The non-commis,ioned officers and troops be longing to the Indian depots at Chatham, who have been for some time past attached to the School of Musketry at Hythe for the purpose of being trained for assistant instructors in musketry, have been directed to join their depot companies at Chatham, previously to their embarkation for India. The following officers, now undergoing in struction at Hythe, have also been directed to join their respective depots at Chatham, viz., Capt. R. H. Travers, 24th Regiment ; Captain 3. M. Lyle, 29th Regiment ; and Lieut. R. Swift, 81st Regi ment. MR. iENEAS IEACDONNELL. The subjoined is in many respects a faithful sketch of the character of the late Mr. lEneas Macdonnell, whose death was announced in the Times of Wednesday : voted to Mr. O'Sullivan, chief boatman of the Coast Guard, and 211. to ten other men for rescuing, at the great peril of their lives, the crew, consistin g of eleven men, of the brig Sona Fratella, which, 'dur ing an awful gale of wind, was wrecked off Black Ball Heau, on the coast of Antrim on the 2d ult. When observed, the brig was standing for the land, and on nearing the shore she attempted to weather - the head, but failing to do so, owing to the violence of the gale and the heavy sea, she had to bear up and run under the lee of the White Ball rocks. There she drifted from her anchor and went head long on the rocks, becoming instantly a thousand pieces. At this time the Coast Guard men, with the promptitude and gallantry which always dis tinguish them on occasions of shipwreck, put off .in their little boat, and at the critical moment, as in a few moments after no human aid could have pos sibly availed, rescued the master and eight of his crew. The five fishermen nobly seconded the efforts of the Coast Guard by taking off the two re maining men of the crew, at the great hazard of their lives. The whole time occupied in this good woik was hardly half an hour. Such is the class of roble men who are constantly engaged in our life boats and showboats in saving their fellow-crea tures from the horrors of shipwreck. A reward of 21. was granted to twe fishermen for putting off in their boat and rescuing, at the great risk of their lives, the crow of three men of _the PROFESSOR WILJALBA FRIKELL, Physician to their Majesties the Emperor and Emnress of Russia. —ST.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., • 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Uatriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Seciety, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c.c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any, other class of disease known to modem pathologists. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It in absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with . ut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue eed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional d.irangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

DELIVERY OF DAY MAIL LETTERS. The day mail letters brought by the London and North Western Railway reach St. Martin's-le-Grand 11.30 a.m. As it was found to be impossible to prepare the whole of these letters for the 12 o'clock delivery, the practice has been to send out those for the City (with some exceptions) at 12, and those for all other parts of London at 1 o'clock. Arrangements, however, have now been made fo r in cluding the whole of these letters in the 12 o'clock deli very, provided they are properly addressed to the postal districts for which they are intended, as in that case they wi.l undergo a preparatory assortment before reaching London. Any letters not so addressed, whether for the City, or other parts of London, will be wholly sorted at St. Martin's-le-Grand and sent out at 1 p.m. This arrangement will corns into operation on the Ist of Feb. next. At the same time, a similar rule will be extended to the numerous mails reaching London in tke afternoon. Thus, whenever, from late arrival or other cause, it is possible to include part, but not the whole, of the letters in the next delivery, a selection for such delivery will be made of those properly addressed to the postal districts. It is suggested, therefore, that in the mean time every resident in London, who desires to seek an early deli very, in his case, of the large class of letters referred to, should be especially careful to act on the recommenda tion in the notice of Dec., 1856, by making the came of his postal district part of his own address, either in the inside of letters, or in any other way ; and, when neces sary, by calling attention to his correspondents thereto, so as to indece them to address their letters fully. As already notified, the name of the district may be indicated by the initials, or any other contraction, or may be given in full ; and, especially when forming part of the address outside the letter, should be legibly writ. ten in a separate line and should, in all cases, end the address, as shown in the following example ; oth e rwise, in the hurry: of business, it may be overlooked : James Thompson, Esq., 500, Piccadilly, London, w. The London Directory, the Court Guide, the Law List, and the Parliamentary Companion for 1858, will, it is understood, have the initial letters appended to every address.

DIRECTION OF LETTERS FOR LONDON AND ITS ENVIRONS. The Postmaster-General has again called attention to the fact that, in order to promote rapidity and correct. ness in the delivery of letters, London and its environs have, for postal purposes, been divided into ten districts, each to be treated in many respects, as a separate town. To render this arrangement effectual, he earnestly re quests that every means may be taken by the public for causing letters to be directed according to the district for which they are intended. The initial of the name of such district will suffice ; but, if preferred, any other contraction, or the name in full, may be used instead. In the direction of a letter, the initials, or initial, as the case may be, should be legibly written in a separate live, and should in all cases end the address, as shown in the followine example : James Thompson, Esq., 501, Piccadilly, London, W. except when the letter is posted in a London district, and then the word London may be omitted. The L',ndon Directory, the Court Guide, the Law List, and the Parliamentary Companion for 1588, will, it is understood, have the initial letter appended to every address. Information as to the district in which any part of London or its environs is included may also be obtained in either of the following publications, which can be procured at every head post-office and every London District Receiving -house :- 1. " The British Postal Guide," published quarterly. Price 6d. 2. "An alphabetical list of the principal streets and places in London and its environs, as divided into postal districts." Pr ice ld. 3. A similar list, in larger type, and accompanied by mane- Price is. It has been suggested to residents in London and the neighbourhood that they should give the initials of the district in which they live whenever they communicate their own addresses either in the inside of letters or in any other way ; and it is hoped that their correepon dents will carefully repeat the initials so given when directing letters in reply. A careful attention to this request is the more im portant, because, commencing with the let February next, the following rule will be observed with regard to all mails reaching London after the first morning deli very, viz.:—When any of these mails arrive at such an hour that it is possible to include part but not the whole of the letters in the next delivery, a selection for such delivery will be made of those properly addressed to the postal districts, the remaining letters being sent out by the following delivery. DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE CALE DO.NIAN RAILWAY. FIVE MEN KILLED. On Tuesday evening, about 6 o'clock, an accident of a very terrible character occurred on the Caledonian Railway, at the branch line in course of construction between Gartcosh and Gartaherrie stations. So far as we have been able to ascertain, the accident, which has resulted in the death of five individuals, arose under the following circumstances :—ln the construction of the branch line alluded to, a large number of navvies em ployed by the contractors were engaged during the day until the usual hour of leaving off work, 6 o'clock, p.m. At that hour about 100 of them, leaving the branch, crossed over on the main line, for the purpose of going home along it. They had not proceeded many yards, however, when their attention was attracted by the noise of a train of empty mineral waggons which was proceeding up towards Coat-bridge, in which direction they themselves were going. On seeing the lights of the engine immediately behind them, they at onee crossed to the down line, in order to avoid accident. They had scarcely done so, however, when they perceived the Carlisle down goods train dashing along in front of them at the rate of about 18 miles an hour. The men were at once panic-struck, thus seeing danger on both sides of them. The greater portion succeeding in get ting out of the way by standing in the six feet space between the " up" and " down" rails, butunfortnnately five of them were instantly crushed to pieces, frag ments of their bodies being scattered about in a most frightful manner. The head of one of the wretched sufferers was literally severed from the body; another one was cut in two by the wheels ; one had his feet smashed to almost a pulp ; and others were more or less mutilated, the waggons were thrown off the rail by the shock, which occurred so suddenly that the engine-driver was only then made aware of the fact that an accident bad occurred. In addition to the five killed ; two are lying dangerously wounded—o ne of them in an almost helpless condition—in the Glas gow Royal Infirmary, A number of men acquainted with the cultivation of vines have just been engaged in different departments of France to go to Australia, where the cultivation of the vines of Burgundy and Bordeau has perfectly suc ceeded. _- more successfully in conciliating the opposition of those who were opposed to the claims it was his duty to sus tain, while his sound judgment and able diplomacy were of vast service to his own party, iu restraining impetuous counsels, and in negotiating the guarantees upon which Emancipation was ultimately conceded. He was actuated by a chivalrous sense of honour, and after the Relief Act of 1829 had been carried he unhesitatingly opposed himself to the ruinous policy that was almost im mediately initiated by Daniel O'Connell. For acting thus honourably and honestly he incurred the animosity of the Great Liberator.' All his services were for gotten, and there was no language too foul in which to denounce his steady adherence to the dictates of principle and honour. .tEneas Macdonnell, as a Roman Catholic, never sought Emancipation on selfish or sectarian grounds. He contionsled4r it 4 constitu tional grounds, in the same way thau Eastaficipation of the Protestant Dissenters of England had been advocated and carried. His desire was to unite Ireland in Im perial relations with England as an integral part of one great empire, and this he knew could never be done while the Roman Catholics remained outside the pale of the Constitution. When, therefore, the Relief Act passed, he and many more Irish gentlemen, who were actuated by similar motives, abandoned the corrupt and unscrupulous nest of agitators that O'Connell gathered about him to promote his Repeal delusions, and in many able publications at the time he fearlessly exposed the wickedness and folly of the course upon which O'Connell had determined to enter. But his warning voice was of no avail—the great demagogue triumphed for the time, but only to descend to his grave a broken-hearted, dis appointed man, leaving his country a prey to famine, and on the brink of the revolution he had himself excited, but always shrunk from realising. In many ways Anew: Macdonnell was a thorn in the side of the agitators. He remained faithful to the guarantees upon the strength of which the Relief Act was passed. His nice sense of honour would Lot permit hint to tamper with those guarantees —he ad [flitted no equivocal constructions--he scorned to take refuge in quibbling—he repudiated all sophistical dis tinctions about the interpretation of the Roman Catholic oath, by which the word of promise was kept to the ear but broken to the hope—he declared boldly that no Roman Catholic admitted to earliarnent.coold honoura bly use his privileges of membership to impair, much less to destroy, the E4ablisheil Church ; and his letters on this subject were alike honourable to his head and to his heart. It will thus be readily understood that Mr. Macdonnell soon became a marked man among the abusive and vulgar horde that eongregated around o'o onion ; but he despised all the vituperation that was poured upon him and kept on the even te noor o f hi s way. He resided for many years in a cottage in the immediate vicinity of London, and having met with some pecuniary reverses, the late Duke of Wellington offered him an office which involved no political obligations whatever, and by the advice and solicitation of hisfriende he accepted it. A few years ago he returned to Ireland, and his last days were cheered by finding his country beginning to realizi something like the peace and pros perity he confidently predicted would result from the great measure of relief he was so instrumental in carrying." THE WRECK OF THE FRENCH BRIG. Saunders's Newsletter of this morning states that the safety of the lives of seven more of the crew of the French brig wrecked at Kingstown on the night of the 4th inst. was yesterday notified to the French Consul in Dublin. "It appears that these men, who were fortunate to bare with them the coasting pilot taken on board their ship when leaving Liverpool, were exposed for several hours to the full force of the gale in one of the ship's boats, which was greatly damaged, and was only kept afloat by constant baling ; they had only two oars, and could make no better attempt at‘sailing than by holding up in turn the pilot's jacket. The latter 'sought first to direct their course towards Kingstown-harbour, but fail ing in this they made for Ho wth, which they fortunately succeeded in reaching, after suffering great hardships. In the unavoidable absence from indisposition of M. de Bourgrafl, M. de Merle, the Vice-Consul, made every arrangement to provide comfortably for them, and to insure them the requisite attentions of which they stood so much in need, at the lodging -house in this city to which French mariners in distress are usually conducted. At a latter period of the day the three men who had been brought into Kingstown were also brought to town, and joined their shipmates. These latter, of whom one had recei ve d a severe cut upon the b ea d , h a d previously been tak en on b oard her Majesty ' s sh i p Con way, and hospitably treated. No tidi ng s whatever have been received of th e rema i nder of the crew, and t h ere i s too much reason to f ear t h at none will now b e h ear d. Respecting the c a pt a i n, who with all the oflscere . among the missing, there are different statements. One ib that he with the others was in the second boat, which was seen to founder ; the other version being that he was the unfortunate man whose corpse was seen upon the piece of drift wood, from which one of the survivors was rescued ' • according to this man a story his unfo r t unate comrade had only died 10 minutes before succour come to hand. The fishermen state that there was too heavy a sea to admit of their taking off the corpse, and that they had to drag the other seaman into their boat by throwing their lines over him. Ac cording to both accounts the captain was a young man, and was upon hi s first voyage to Brazil. The p il ot furnished a d e t a il e d narrative of the occurrence, alleging, that be was endeavouring to get through the Swash, , and that the ve sse l struck upon the India Bank. ' Parties acquaint e d with the coast are, however, at a loss to reconcil e this ass , rtiou with the account given by the French se amen of the lights observed, &c., and the time which it wou ld take for parties in their he l p l ess condition to drift intone Bay of D u blin. It is considered probable that the corpses will drift upon the nort h ern coast ; the wreck, however , b ro k en is into mere frag ments." SUSPECTED MURDER. The Cork Reporte r has the following account 2f the death, under suspicious circumitancee, o f an . official tho empl o y o f t h o Killarney Junction Railway : " Early on Saturday morning last a man named James Barrett, a rnilesman on the Ki'larney Junction Railway, was found lying dead in a cutting on the line at Gort more, distant about half-a-mile from the Lonibardstown station. It appears that the deceased was at Mallow fair oniriday last, and returned to the .Lombardstown station the same evening the worse for drink ; h a ving left the s t a tion he proceeded t o a publichouse in the neighbour hood, kept by a man named Buckley, where, it appears, h e bad a dispute with s ome parties. He left t h e pub'ic house shortly after, and nothing more was heard of him until the following morning, when, in consequence of his n ot having returned home, hi s wife went along the line in search of him , and found him with hi s h an d s across t a t c hh : ee e r r s f ha t ei lb a , l a y lnh'des during tt g ihn body , eg odst on ht lying a t r i g h t angles with the rails, oernanei night h r tm;*the hand s were cu t a cross which,two it a is g e s ti cutsp p o s ed, were on passed the h ee d—c ne immediately behind th e l eft ear, and t h e o ther across the Lead ; there were a l so several marks ' on the chest • his cap was found s ome distance from the body on the line. From the app earance of the b o d y and its position on the r a i lway, it is b e li eve d by the people in the neighbourhood that th e d eceased was not I killed by the t rai n, but that the unf ortunate man was murdered and then pl aced on the railway, i n o r der to give it the appearance of an accident. Th e b o dy was shortly after examined by Dr. Foott, of G ortmore , who gave it as his opinion that death was caused by the wound behind the ear. Mr. Coroner Daly shortly after arrived and empannelled a jury, w h o viewed the body, and then adjourned the iuvestigation until the 19th inst. No arrests have as yet been made. The general supposition in the neighbourhood is that the man was murdered." INQUEST ON MR. HUNT, POOR -LAW DISTRICT AUDITOR —An adjourned inquest was held on Wednesday, at Warwick, touching the death of Mr. Hunt, auditor of the Oxford and War wick audit district. He was one of the passengers on the occasio n of the accident (last month) on qh the ouit quite ebe Oxford,well was el). not hurt—he afteriit. N Worcester, e and W o l aer h am pt on Nevertheless, e was rt h ee only ns he die shaken d and appeared sud denly in a few days. Oa a postmortem examination it was found that he had died from escape of blood caused by the bursting of an aneurism formed on the abdominal aorta. On the previous Friday the deceased bad alluded to the railway accident, and said that he had fallen with his side on the elbow of the seat in the carriage. Tke medical men were •f opinion that the aneurisms was first lacerated by the accident, and that the laceration afterwards increased, but that Mr. Hunt would in all probability have died at some time or other from the bursting of the aneurism, if no accident had happened. A Governmest inquiry is to be made into the cause of the accident. The inquest was adjourned till yesterday. A GENEROUS MAYOR. —The first official act of the new mayor of Cork was to visit the city gaol, from whence he liberated all the pauper debtors there con fined, he paying the demands against them. He also set at liberty a number of poor people who were under a rule of bail., Agreeably to an Admiralty order, rec:dved at Chatham by. Col. E. A. Parker i commandant of that division of Royal Mariue I..ii,glat,lrgaßtry, the whole of the troops arathed to ire i eiouAl Ilea& quarters were yesterday morning drawn up at the rear of their barracks for the purpose of witnes sing the infliction of corporal punishment on private John Williams, 6th company, who was adjudged by sentence of a district court-martial to receive 50 lashes for having been absent from bar racks and selling his kit. Although the prisoner has been only about 12 months in the corps of Royal Marines, he bears a most incorrigible charac ter, having been tried four times by court martial, and sentenced to various punishments. His de meanour yesterday during the infliction of the punishment was most hardened. The prisoner was afterwards removed to Melville-hospital for medical treatment. A considerable period has elapsed since corporal punishment was infli , ited at C hatham division of Royal Marines. The Ocean Steam Navigation Company's ship Jason arrived at Gravesend on Wednesday even ing from Southampton, having been chartered by the East India Board for the transport service. Her troop fittings afford ample accommodation for upwards of 1,000 soldiers, and cabin berths for 40 officers. She has commenced receiving a large supply of munitions of war from Woolwich Arsenal, and is expected to sail in about 10 days hence fur The freight-ship Lady Macnaghten, laden with 300 tons of shot, and other war stores from Gibral tar, arrived at Woolwich yesterday, and commenced discharging her cargo at the Arsenal-pier. Arrangements ara in progress at Woolwich for the transfer of the offices composing the Field train Department, to be consolidated, most proba bly, with the Military Store Department, in con sequence of the Corps of Ordnance having been placed under the administration of the Horse Guards and the Ordnance Departments generally having been amalgamated with that of the Minister of War. The freightship Regina has commenced shipping war stores from Woolwich Arsenal for Sierra Leone. The naval store transport Diligence, Master- Commander Crook, which vessel sailed from. Wool wich on Saturday last, laden with dockyard and victualling stores for the Mediterranean, was obliged to lay to at the Nore on Sunday, having encountered a terrific gale of wind, pronounced by the Admiralty pilot to have been the most furious gale he ever experienced. On approaching the North Foreland Mr. Barnes, finding it impossible to round the point, was obliged to put back to the Nore, where the Diligence was securely moored by two anchors. While riding at anchor a full-rigged American ship, the Chase, lying a, mile ahead, dragged her anchors and drove down upon the Diligence, doing her considerable damage, dragging away her bobstays, damaging bulwarks, (U. To prevent her becoming a total wreck the Diligence slipped her moorings, and bore up for Sheerness harbour, where she is ordered to be repaired. The Coapatrick, Capt. C. Scott, 1,500 tons, be longing to Messrs. Dunbar and Sons, of Limehouse, left Blackwall yesterday morning for Portsmouth, where she will embark 450 troops, besides women and children, for the Cape of Good Hope. The length of the ship is 200 ft., and her spaces between decks are fitted up for more than 500 persons. It is expected she will make a quick run. DEATH OF ADMIRAL DOWNMAN. This venerable flag-officer died on Monday last at his seat in Hampshire, aged 95 years. He entered the navy in October, 1776, and while serv ing as midshipman in the Arethusa was wrecked while in pursuit of an enemy's frigate off the Island of Moulins, when ke was taken prisoner and detained nearly 12 months in France. He next joined the Edgar, Commodore C. Hotharn, in which ship he was present at the relief of Gibraltar, and in Lc rd Howe's partial action with the combined fleets of France and Spain is Oct., 1782. As lieu tenant he assisted at the occupation of Toulon. and the reductioi of Corsica, and several gallant attacks on shore with the enemy. In 1794 he was appointed to the Victory, 100, flag-ship of Lord Hood, Rear- Admiral R. Mann, and Sir J. Jervis, and under the two last-mentioned admirals saw much service, being present at the action of July 13, 1795, and Sir J. Jervis's action with the Spanish fleet in Feb., 1797. During the period he held the command of the Speedy sloop, O' Byrne states that he " cap tured live Spanish privateers, carrying altogether 17 guns, 28 swivels, and 162 men, besides encoun tering off Vigo two very severe actions on the 3d and 4th Feb., 1791, with the French privateer Papillon, of 14 heavy guns and 160 men, which he beat off on both occasions." After obtaining post rank he was employed in the Santa DJrothea, 42, off Malta ; and by his perseverance in the blockade of the fortress of Savona, which he compelled to surrender, gained the thanks of the Admiral and the Admiralty authorities at home. After the bat tle of Marengo he destroyed all the fortifications in the Gulf of Spezia, landed the Duke of Savoy and family at Naples, and was instrumental in sav ing the valuable gallery of Florence from falling into the hands of the French. He captured during his command the San Leon, Spanish nun-of-war brig of 16 guns, besides making several other prizes. He was present under Sir H. Popham at the re duction of the Cape of Good Hope, and brought home the despatches announcing the event. He was then ordered to the river de la Plata to take the command of the Diomede, and held various com mands up to the summer of 1825, when he obtained his flag. His commissions bore date as follows : Lieutenant, March 5, 1790 ; Commander, July 26, 1797 ; Captain, Deo. 26, 1798 ; Rear-Admiral, May 27, 1825 ; Vice-Admiral, Jan. 10, 1837 ; and Admiral, April 24, 1847. The gallant admiral was one of the reserved flag-officers in the receipt of service pension. He had received the naval me dal and two clasps for the defeat of the Spanish fleet of Cape St. Vincent and for the expedition to Egypt in 1808. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. We regret to announce the death of Admiral Hugh Downman, which occurred at Hambledon, Hants, on Monday last. The gallant admiral had reached the advanced age of 95. This officer, who was born at Plymouth on the 29th October, 1765, is descended from a respectable family in Devon shire, of which his father was a younger branch. He entered the navy Oct. 10, 1776, as A. B. on board the Thetis, 32, Captains Mitchell, Graham, and John Gill, in which frigate he escorted home a large convoy of Indiamen from St. Helena. From August 14, 1778, until March 5, 1790, he was next employed, as midshipman, in the Arethusa and Emerald frigates, both commanded by Capt. Sam. Marshal—the Edgar, 74, Commodore Charles H o tham—the Queen, 98, Triumph, 74, and B ar fleur, 98, flag-ships at Portsmouth of Admirals John Montagu and Lord Hood—and the Cro wn, 64, bearing the broad pendant in the East Indies of the Hon. William Cornwallis. D urin g that period, having been wrecked in the Arethusa, while in pursuit of an enemy's frigate off the isl and of Mon lines, Mr. Downman was det ained a prisoner of war in France, from March 1772 to Jan. 1780 ; after which, when in the Edgar , he was present a t t h e relief of Gibraltar, and in Lord Howe's partial action with the combined fleets of France an d he Spain, e Oct. 20, 17 82 . On March 5, 1790, as a bove, ev was promoted to a lieutenancy in the Perse verance, 36, Captain Isaac Smith, on the East India station, whence, on being re - transferred to the Crown, he • came home in May, 17 92. B e i ng next appointed vateers, carrying altogether 17 guns, 28 swivels, and 162 men, besides encountering off Vigo two very severe actions, Feb. 3 and 4, 1798, with the French privateer Papillon, of 14 heavy guns and 160 men, which he brat off on both occasions, with a loss to the Speedy of 5 men killed and 4 wounded. Being oflieially posted, Dec. 26, 1791, in the Santa Dorothea, of 42 gulls, a ship he had joined in the previous " September, Captain Downman (whose services in the Speedy had been acknowledged by the presentatiou to hiin of a piece of plate, valued at 501. from thoßritish merchants at Oporto) was subsequently oniplayesd off., and with.ft per severance highly creditable, at the blockade, enethe-i spring of 1800, of the important fortress of Savona, ' which he ultimately compelled to surrender. Ho also, after the battle of Marengo, destroyed all the fortifications in the Gulf of Spezia, landed the Duke of Savoy and family at Naples, and preserved the valuable gall ry of Florence from falling into the hands of the enemy, by conveying it in safety to Sicily. For these services Captain Downman was presented with a diamond ring both by the Duchess of Savoy and by the Grand Duke of Tuscany. We afterwards find him, in July, 1801, escorting three Swiss regiments and the corps of Lamenstein, to Egypt, where he was awarded the gold medal of the Turkish Order of the Crescent, and then em ployed in enforcing the neutrality of Tripoli and Dearn. Among the numerous prizes made by Capt a i n lumen during his com mand of the Santa Dorothea, we may enumerate the capture of the San Leon, Spanish man-of war brig, of 16 guns and 88 men-of three vessels from Egypt, having on board General Desaix and the staff of Bonaparte-of other craft cut out, with the loss of 12 men, from the batteries of Bordiguera and Hospitallier-and of the Bull-dog (formerly British), of 16 guns, brought out from Gallipoli. From April, 1801, to August, 1802, and from De cember, 1803, to November, 1805, he was subse quently employed as flag captain to Sir James Saumarez in the Ciesar, 80, and Diomede, 50, on the Lisbon and Guernsey E.tatious. He then joined the Diadem, 64, bearing the broad pendant of Sir Home Popham ; and after witnessing the reduction of the Cape of Good Hope, brought home the despatches announcing that event. Being im mediately ordered to the Rio de la Plata, he there resumed command of his former ship, the Diomede, in which subsequently to the fall of Monte Video, lie returned to England with the present Lord Beresford, and was paid off in June, 1807. From Sept. 8 following, until appointed, Jan. 14, 1811, to the Princess Caroline, 71, Captain Downman next superintended the prison ships at Portsmouth. After assisting at the destruction, on March 25th, of the latter year, of the French 40-gun frigate Amazone, near Cape Barfleur, lie convoyed a fleet of Indiamea to Madeira, on his return from which place he was sent to cruise iu the North Sea, where we find him early in 1814 landing the marines of the ship at Scheveliug for the support of the Prince of Orange. He made a further voyage to Spitzberren, and was put out of commission, Sept. 22, 1814. His last appointment appears to have been on Dec. 2, 1824, to the Windsor Castle, 74, at Portsmouth. He acquired the rank of vice admiral on the 10th of Jan uary,lB37, admiral on the 24th April, 1817. Admiral D iwnman was one of the seniors to receive the offer of reserved half-pay and a service pension, July 1, 1851. A vacancy having now occurred in this list, the promotion of the senior captain to flag rank will take place. The first on the list of promo tion is Captain Edward Stanley (1838), but that officer not having served his full time as a captaia, he will be placed on the rear admirals' reserved half-pay list. Captain Sir Baldwin Wake Walker, Bart., K.C.B. Surveyor of the Navy, being the next senior eligible for promotion to the active list, be comes sear admiral of the blue. Sir Baldwin Walker's c ireer hasbeen an active and distinguished one. According to " O'Byrne's Biography" he entered the navy July, 1812. He was made a lieutenant in 1820, and served almost continuously for 14 years in that rank. He was iu the Brazen, 26, with Captain Willie, in South America and the coast of Africa ; and in the Rattlesnake, 28, and "Etna, bomb, in the Mediterranean. As first lieu tenant of the latter ship, in 1828, he was engaged against the forces of the Ottoman Porte, and dis tinguished himself with Captain Lushington, in the gallant attack and redaction of Morea Castle, the last stronghold of the Turks at Pe'oponnesus. For these services he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour and of the Redeemer of Greece ; but he served in the Asia, 84, and Britannia, 120, flag ships of Sir Pulteney Malcolm, and as senior cf the Barham, 50, until 1834, as " the ablest first lieu tenant in the service," before he got his promotion. As a commander he served in Sir Wm. Symond's new 80- g un ship, Vanguard, with Captain Hon. D. P. euverie, and Sir Thomas Fellowee, from September, 1836, to November, 1838, when having been promoted to the rank of captain he volunteered to serve in the Turkish navy, which he so re-orga nised and reformed that at least some efficient por tion of the fleet remained loyal amidst almost universal treachery ; and under him as their admiral, took a distinguished part with the British fleet in all the operations on the coast of Syria. He distinguished himself in the attack upon Beyrout, as noticed in the official despatches published in the G a: - tte in 1840, where his zealous, persevering, and active exertions are warmly praised by the commander-ia- chief, Sir Robert Stopford, and subsequently, in his flag ship led the fleet into the attack upon St. Jean d'Acre. fie was nominated an honorary knight commander of the Bath in 1841, and in consideration of the eminent services he had rendered to the government whilst, as it were, self-expatriated from the Royal navy, ho was allowed by special order in council to reckon his time served in the Turkish navy as if he had commanded a British man-of-war. In 1846 he was appointed to the command of the three decker Queen, 116, and sailing with the fleet from Spithead in the presence of her Majesty and the court, he commanded that ship in the important experimental trial sailings that subsequently took place. His last command afloat was that of the new 50-gun frigate Constance, in the West Indiesto and Pacific; until 1848, when he was succeed Sir William Symonds as Surveyotrhe only Navy. At that date, it is well known, screw appointefdt_ were the converted 'TVs-Blenheim, Aj ' x sailing screw ships in the service, besides the . ran H sp o o cr r u t e r, dee. Since then there has not been singlea._for the vessel or a paddle-wheel steamer designed Royal navy. In addition to the hono urs before enumerated Sir Baldwin is a knight of the second class of t he Iron Crown of Austria, of the second class of St. Anne of Russia ; and of the second class of the Red Eagle of Prussia. For his se rvices during th e late war, when the country put forth its inexhaus tible strength to create fleets and squadrons of ships a i of all classes, Sir Baldwin Walker was crea t e d a baronet. r o omot i o n of Sir aide-de-camp Baldwine p to t h WalkereQueen u the ee nominationßythepromotion a naval d falls to the patronage of the First Lord of the Ad miralty, and Capt a i n the H o n.

FATAL FALL DOWNSTAIRS,—Yesterday morning a fatal accident happened to a female, named Ann Aid honour, aged 62 years, residing at 3, Cheshire-street, Bethnal-green. It seems that the deceased was in the act of descending the staircase, when she by some means slipped and fell to the bottom, and when raised up she was found to be in a state of paralysis. Mr. Rolph, surgeon, was called, and pronounced the deceased to be suffering from fracture of the upper cervical vertebra of the neck. The deceased shortly afterwards died from the elects of the injury. smack Lady Emma, which, during a hoary gale of wind sank on Irvine Bar on the 15th ult. A pilot boat, manned by six men, had previously attempted to teach the wreck, but the fishermen persevered 011,40010:0,poiy-age,eaadedg off-the- three: Men. The fishermen's boaiwtroned:l4 the hear - sea 3 rolling into her, and the whole were in very great danger of perishing. • A reward was also voted to seven men, in consi det ation of their valuable services in putting off in their coble and rescuing, at the risk of their lives, the crew of five men of the brig Zillah, of Whitby, which, during a gale of wind, was wrecked off Win terton, Norldk. The coble had to go through a very heavy sea and broken water, and it was a mercy she was not swamped on the occasion, or stove by the floating wreck. All the stern part of the ship had gone, and the crew were taken off the rigging. _During the past month the institution had trans mitted to the A ustralian governors several sets of lifeboats and transporting carriages. Others were to be despatched during the current mouth. A communication was read from the Board of Trade, expressing their approval of the manner in which the institution managed its numerous life boats, and promising their continued support from the Mercantile Marine Fund in aid of the contribu- tions of tho public towards tho maintenance in full vigour of th© institution. It was reported that the Norfolk Shipwreck As iociation had joined the institution. The inspec tor of lifeboats had thereupon immediately pro ceeded to examine the lifeboats on the Norfolk coast. His report, which was read to the meeting, was full of recommendations regarding the renova tion of some of the lifeboats. Measures were adopted to carry out forthwith these recommenda tions. The institution had at present, it was said,. 70 lifeboats in connection with it, to each of which is a coxswain, or master, and a volunteer crew, who went afloat in the boats every quarter for exercise. The average expense of each lifeboat in this respect alone was 20/. a-year, besides the largo expense of keeping the lifeboat establishment in a thorough state of repair. The society is also now building lifeboats for Hastings, Holyhead, Groomsport, Ardmore, and several other places, and its liabili ties for these, and for boat-houses and transporting carriages are nearly 3,000/. Under these circum stances the institution has good reason to make au urgent appeal for public support, which we hope will be given to it, for amongst the many use ful societies in this country, none is more valuable than the National Lifeboat Institution. By the lamented deaths of Admiral the Earl Spencer, Admiral Sir F. Beaufort, with that of the ' Earl of Ilchester, the institution had, it was said, lost valuable contributions to its funds. The proceedings then closed. FEARFUL DEATII OF TWO COLLIERS.- GROSS NEGLECT OF A STEWARD. Last week we reported that a fearful accident bad occurred at a coal mine near Dodworth, in the I3arnsley district, by which two colliers came to a cruel death. The inquest was adjourned in order that the Government inspector might examine the mine, it being alleged that the under-steward had grossly mismanaged the ventilation. The explosion only partially affected the workings, but the two victims were overwhelmed and buried in the ruins, and their cries for assistance did not cease for seve ral hours after the accident. Mr. Hamer, solicitor, appeared on behalf of the proprietors of the col liery. The evidence showed that there was great laxity in the management of the colliery, and that the rules in many instances were a dead letter. In examination by Mr. Morton, Samuel Stears, the steward, acknowledged that there was no real I deputy in the night shift. Witness was respon sible for the ventilation in the pit. George Rhodes, a miner, after the gas had fired at his lamp, told Win. Carr, the deputy, that there was more gas than there should be, but Carr paid no heed, and witness said he had found fault with-miners for blowing out their lamps. Witness told Mr. Stears that the place was not fit to work in on account of gas ; Stears replied that it was no worse than usual. Both Stears and Carr saw it in a fiery con dition ; and Carr was with witness when it fired. William Carr, deputy, said he knew that Rule 9 required that they should have a deputy by night when working double shifts, but he never told Mr. Stears that they ought to have one. Witness, with Mr. Stears, was responsible for the ventilation. After some further evidence, the coroner summed up, and the jury, after a deliberation of five hours and a half, rettuned. the following verdict :—"That the deceased, George Chappil and Richard Turner, died from tho effects of burns received in an explo sion of tire-dain? in the engine pit at the Strafford colliery, but the cause of the explosion is not proved. The jury are also of opinion that the evi dence shows a groat want of care in the general management and ventilation of the pit, and the incompetency of the steward." Ten of the jury were in favour of sending Stear a for trial for manslaughter, and stood out for several hours ; but the coroner gave some information on the law of the case, and the above verdict was returned. The proceedings did not close until ten o'clock. The proprietors have now engaged the services of an efficient under-viewer, under whose will be it is hoped that these fearful explosions DREADFUL COAL-PIT ACCIDENT. FOUR MEN KILLED. °na lost Wednesday accident, by whi c h f our me morning an occurred at the colliery b e l ong i ng to Messrs. Turner and Co., of Kallam ars h, near Sheffield. Ti m ca sualty occurred by an extraordinary fatality. On Tuesday night a fire w as ki n d led at the top of the shaft, d th n e ee ir d 7ves, to prevent the formation of ice, and this ire communi cated with the pit rope and scorched it. This was told to the men, wh o re f use d to descend on Wednesday morning until it bad been ascertained that the rope was safe. Experiments were made wbich appeared to estab lish the safety of the rope, and 60 or 70 of the men de scended the mine. The last party to descend consisted of three brothers, named Senior, and a man named Rich . cl. Turton. They w ere re l uc t an t t o d es cend, but being encouraged by their comrades, they stepped into the "corf." Unhappily, the chair had not been lowered more than two yards when the rope gave way , and t he men were precipitated to the bottom of the shaft, a dis tance of 230 feet. When the men who were already at the bottom examined the bodies, two were found quite dead, and the others lingered half an hour. One of the brothers Senior had been thrown against the . edge of the cor f, which bad completely severed one of his arms from h is body. The bodies were removed from the mine to await the coroner's inquest. THE NEVI'S FROM INDIA. LIVERPOOL, Thursday.—A universal feeling of regret spread over the entire community when the Indian news was made public this morning, announcing the death of the brave Gen.
