111 E NAVY. tworir A letter from Malta, dated Sept. 29, says : " H.M.S. St. Jean d'Acre is still cruising off the island. She communicated with the port on the 22d, when 21 new cases of lung disease were reported. An extraordinary number of cases of this kind has lately occurred on board this ship. The steam troop ship Himalaya is still here waiting orders. Besides her we have in port the Hibernia, receiving ship; James Watt, line-of-battle ship, undergoing repairs; Mohawk gunboat, in dock, having her machinery repaired ; Caradoc despatch boat, and Boxer gun boat, lying in Sliema Creek, the last without boilers, which are being repaired in the dockyard. The Queen, line-of-battle ship, is shortly expected from Tunis. The Argus, corvette, left at sunset to-day to survey Graham's Shoal." The following letter is dated Malta, Oct 1 : " Since despatching my letter by the French boat yesterday morning the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers Ripon and Vectis have arrived, the former at 5 p.m. yesterday, from Southampton and Gibraltar, and the latter at half-past 10 o'clock last night from Marseilles, bringing the India and China mails. Both left the same night for Alex andria. The Vectis has on board Sir J. M'Carthy, the newly-appointed Governor of Ceylon. " The French steamer Du Trembley arrived this morning from Tunis, which place she left on the 29th ult. No movements have taken place among the fleet. The St. Jean d'Acre is still cruising out side. " The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Massilia, with the overland portion of the Mauritius and Bombay mails, and the Delta, with the heavy portion, have just come in from Alexandria. The delay in their arrival was occasioned by the Otta wa, outward steamer, breaking down, and having to be towed into Aden by the steamer having on board the Mauritius mail." The screw steamship St. George, 90, in Plymouth Sound, has discharged her powder, and was ap pointed to go lap Hamoaze yesterday to have some alterations made in her head. It was incorrectly reported that she had a leak aft. A pipe leading from the machinery through the gunroom having burst, a quantity of bread was wetted in the store room, and the steward concluded that it arose from a leak in the ship. It is not expected that that portion of the Chan- nel fleet at Plymouth will continue long is the Sound. The crews will most likely be paid down, and granted leave of absence ; some have already obtained leave. All the ships are refitting. The Conqueror is completing with coal. The Centu rion is receiving provisions, apparently for another cruise. On Tuesday night the watch on board the Conqueror observed flames in the midship part of the lower deck of the Centurion, which was lying near, and sent assistance immediately. By the time they arrived the fire had been discovered on board, the first to give the alarm being a seaman, who at the time was sleeping in his hammock. The flames were promptly subdued, but the firebell was kept ringing all night. The fire occurred close to the boilers, and one of the ship's beams is consider ably burnt. The cause is unknown, but it is sup posed to have arisen from a naked candle baying been placed in contact with some clothes hung to dry. The screw steam corvette Jason, 21, was hauled on Thursday from the basin into the lock at Key ham Steamyard, and was appointed to go into Hamoaze yesterday. On the arrival of her fan from Woolwich she will probably make a trial of her machinery. Her Majesty's screw steam sloop Cameleon, in tended to carry 17 guns, was yesterday hauled out of the basin at Woolwich and was moored along- side the Hebe hulk in the river, under orders to be brought forward for the first-class steam reserve. The steam storeship Industry, Master Comman der Hodges, laden with naval and victualling stores for Ascension and Rio Janeiro, having adjusted compasses, will sail this morning from Greenhithe for her destination; and the paddle-wheel steam sloop Spiteful, Commander Wilson, under orders to relieve the Firebrand, will also sail from Green hithe this morning. The Tartar, 20, screw steam corvette, 250 horse power, Capt. Hayes, was yesterday inspected by the Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, Vice-Admi ral W. J. Hope Johnstone, and Staff, who spoke highly in praise of the condition of the vessel. The Tartar will leave Sheerness to-day for Spithead, there to await further orders. The Edgar, 91, screw, Capt. Katon, carrying the flag of Rear-Admiral I. E. Erskine. the second in command of the Channel fleet, hes unbent sails, sent down topgallantmasts, and unrove i unning gear for overhaul and refit, alongside Portsmouth Dockyard. Her crew were yesterday paid wages, and one watch granted leave ashore. The leaden pipes of her head-shoots are being removed, and copper ones substituted. She has some other trifling defects to make good, the whole of which will be completed in their repairs in about 20 days' time. The re mainder of the ships at Spithead are to have their crews paid, make good their defects, and fill up with stores and provisions for further use. The Vigilant, 6, screw despatch vessel, in the steam reserve at Portsmouth, steamed out of Ports mouth harbour to Spithead on Thursday, to test boilers and machinery on the completion of her re pairs. All worked satisfactorily, and at the conclu sion the Vigilant returned to her berth in the har bour. The Sutlej, 51 screw, has been removed from the steam basin at Portsmouth to the harbour, in readi ness to make her contractors' trial of machinery, which takes place today, weather permitting. The Tribune, 31, screw, lately paid off at Ports mouth on her retui a from the Pac;fic, has ken placed in the steam basin to receive new boilers and undergo the necessary repairs to hull and machinery. The Hyacinth, late 16-gun sloop, is fitting in No. 6 dock, at Portsmouth, for a coal depot, to be stationed at Portland. Her six upper strakes o f copper, now being placed on, came from the bottom of the Prince Regent, and the stamp mark on it shows that it was placed on that ship's bottom in 1847. A still more remarkable instance of the pre servation of copper on a vessel's bottom occurred in this dock a few weeks since, when the Eagle frigate was in No. 7 dock. Her copper was found to have been on 29 years, end proved to be in such condition that it is on at the present time. The Eagle has been commissioned since by Commander Strode, and is now fitting as a training-ship. It blew hard all yesterday at Portsmouth from the westward, and all communication between the ships of war at Spithead and the shore was forbidden by signal from the Semaphore and her Majesty's ship Britannia. The War Department steamer Lord Panmure, H. T; Moore commander, arrived at Woolwich yester day from Devonport and Portsmouth, having dis charged at Purfleet 1,800 ammunition casks, and 3,000 whole, half, and qvarter barrels of powder, 30 tons Of grape and canister shot, together with eight obsolete guns and 700 tents for the Tower. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—The Hon. E. S. Dawson and C. Johnstone, midshipman, to the St. George; J. Fellowes, midshipman, to the Ariel ; A. G. IV ar chepe and F. D. Radcliffe, naval cadets, to the St. George; P. S. Lambert, chief engineer, to the Corn wallis; C. Tucker, promoted to the rank of chief engineer, and appointed to the Indus for service in the Narcissus ; J. Langlands, promoted to the rank of acting first-class assist.-engineer in the Alert ; H. Slade, surgeon, to the Miranda; J. Burke, pay master, additional, to the Wellesley ; G . Barnes, paymaster, to the Miranda ; A. Hunter, clerk, to the Trafalgar ; and E. W. Jago, assist. clerk, to the Miranda. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The se cond of the Itali an Concerts, at which Mademoiselle Titiens and Signor Giuglini are the principal vo calists, takes place to-day, the pro gramme consisting of selections from Verdi's " Trovatore" and Flotow's Martha."

In accordance with orders received by Col. Har ness, C. 8., director of the Royal Engineer establish ment at Chatham, several changes will take place in the quarters of the companies at the commencement of next week. The 33d Company, under the com mand of Captain A. R. Lempriere, will proceed on Tuesday next from Brompton Barracks to Alder shot Camp, where it will relieve the 35th Company, which is ordered to join head-quarters. On the same day the A mounted troop of the Royal Engineer Train, under the command of Captain R. W. Duff, R.E., will vacate the camp at Aldershot and pro ceed by easy marches to Chatham to go into their winter quarters. The whole of the horses, stores, waggons, and engineering material of the troop will be transported from Aldershot to Brompton Bar racks, where quarters have been ordered to be made ready for the officers, men, and horses. The sappers and miners of the Royal Engineers, who have been selected from among the most skilful of the mechanics and handicraftsmen of the sap pers and miners at head-quarters, Chatham, will embark at Southampton to-day for the Cape of Good Hope, where they are to be employed in assisting in the erection of a sanatorium at Winsberg, about eight miles from Cape Town, for the reception of the sick and wounded troops from China and India. From advices which have been received at Chatham we learn that several of the huts of which the sana torium is to be formed have already been erected, and are occupied by several of the sick and dis abled troops, who have already been sent there. The Royal Engineers who go out to assist in the erection of the sanatorium have undergone a course of instruction in putting together the huts, several of which will be sent out from this country. The Royal Engineers take out with them a quantity of engineering implements and tools to be used in the work on which they will be engaged. The huge piece of brass ordnance recently cast in the Royal gun factory of Woolwich Arsenal, under the superintendence of Mr. S. Anderson, and which is said to be the heaviest of that species ever cast in England, has been completed under the turning and boring lathe, and has received a 6-inch smooth bore for present experiments, which are ordered to com mence forthwith. The solid block of metal, as it now appears, is considered one of the finest speci mens of casting yet produced. A number of workmen yesterday commenced de molishing the remaining quarters lately in the oc cupation of married non-commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery in Mill-lane, Woolwich, for the purpose of clearing the ground and preparing for the erection of the branch or supplemental estab lishment of the new hospital about to be built on Kidbrooke-common, under Shooter's-hi'l, the esti mates for which, it is stated, amount to £120,000. The Hampshire Artillery are under orders to proceed to Gosport on the 9th inst., there to be dis embodied ; and the Antrim Artillery are to leave Newport, Monmouthshire, on the morning of the 10th, to replace them at Pembroke Dock. The quarterly inspection of the Tipperary Militia Artillery, garrisoned at Sheerness, took place yes terday, on the garrison parade, Sheerness, and was witnessed by a large number of spectators. The inspection was made by Gen. Eyre, commandant of the Chatham garrison, attended by his staff, con sisting of Col. Gordon and Capt. Congreve, Brigade Major, Aide-de-Camp, accompanied by Col. Mon tagu, commanding enginesr, Lieut. Graham, R.A., garrison adjutant, and other military gentlemen. The regiment wag under the command of Lieut.-Col. the Earl of Donoughmore. Eight companies, con sisting of nearly 700 non-commissioned officers and men, were inspected. On Gen. Eyre's arrival the men presented arms, and were afterwards minutely inspected. They then marched in both slow and quick time, and were subsequently formed into square,when the gallant general addrez•sed them. He highly praised them for their mar tial bearing, efficiency, and skill, expressed his regret that their five years' term of service was so near a termination, adding that it would have given him much greater pleasure to think that their services to their Queen and their country were only just beginning. TEE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. Several handsome prizes, given by the members of the borough of Windsor, Mr. William Vansittart and Mr. G. W. Hope, the Hon. L. H. Ruthven, &c., to the Windsor Rifle Volunteers, were shot for on Wednesday and Thursday lest, on their practice ground, Dedeworth•green. The following is the result : Points. 1. Tull 2. Hill 3. Bambridge 2l DiLto 4. Holden 5. Jones 6. Harper 'lies shot off'. 1. Hill 2. Bambridge 3. Holden 3 Ditto Ditto {l.

VarsTt tart, M.P.; to this was added a chaste and admira bly designed silver medal, with enamelled target and bronze rifles, crossed, given by the Captain, the Hon. Leslie Ruthven. Second prize, Westley Richards's rifle, with case, ammunition, &c., as above, given by Mr. G. W. Hope, MP. Third prize, a purse of five guineas, given by the Captain. Fourth prize, a subscription purse of six guineas. Fifth prize, a statuary of the Duke of Wellington, given by the Mayor. When the competition was finished, Lady Mary Hood gave away the prizes, and addressed the prizemen as follows :---‘ Gentle men—lt is with much pleasure that I have acceded to the request of your gallant captain that I should present these prizes to you. In common will' all the ladir2s of England I must feel the greatest inte rest in all Volunteer corps, and especially, from our near neighbourhood in yours, and knowing, as Ido from Capt. Ruthven, the untieingenergy with which you attended drill, and the proficiency you have attained in your rifle practice as shown by the re sult of this day's competition, I beg to congratulate you on obtaining these valuable prizes, and to wish success in. future to each. member of the Windsor Volunteer Rifle Corps." There was a large party of the gentry on the ground, including the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer and family, the Right Hon. B. Disraeli and Mrs. Disraeli, Col. 1 H co o l o . d v , a en n s d it r a i r s t s , i l the Hon. A. N. Hood , LadymM.par.y, the Hood Hon.; lk I Leslier . l V . Van si Ruthven, ttar t , 8 cc . It having been intimated that there are several gentlemen engaged in the large mercantile ware houses in the city who are desirous of joining one of the metropolitan corps, the committee of ilie Central London Rifles (40th Middlesex) have issued a prospectus announcing their intention of forming a city company. The privilege of electing their own officers, we believe, will be specially granted to this company. The Volunteer movement throughout the county of Essex continues to proceed with unabated in terest. In the southern division several very strong and efficient corps have for months been under train ing, and they are now being supplemented by small auxiliaries in the surrounding districts, which on field days and public occasions join the main body. The parks of the gentry are being placed at their disposal for sham fights, and wherever they as semble they are feted and warmly applauded. The funds of the recently formed corps at Malden have been augmented by a donation of £25 by Mr. Sut ton Western, M.P. for the borough, and the fol lowing gentlemen have been chosen officers of the corps :—Capt. Hamilton, late of the 41st Foot, to be captain; Mr. E. H. Bentall, lieutenant; and Mr. Sampson Hanbury, ensign. The Nos. 2 and 12 (Wensleydale), and No. 4 (Staledale), Companies of the North York Volunteer Rifles, assembled on Monday last on the grounds of Mr. C. Other, of Elmhouse, Redmire, who is the captain of the 12th Co f mpany.

Ab out 400 of the Volunteers and their friends partook of this repast, and some excellent speeches were made on the oc casion by Lord Ailesbury, Lord Bo'ton, Sir G. Dennis, Major Wade, and Mr. C. Other. There was a considerable number of lady visitors. Tne day was brought to a termination by a ball in the fr evening. THE SUN,. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1860. ST. GEORGE-IN-TEE-EAST. Yesterday Mr. Gill, clerk to Mr. Stone, a soli citor, served a formal notice of appeal on Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, of Arbour-street, East Stepney, against a conviction of Mr. Elliott, who fined a man, named Robert Rosier, £3, on the 19th of July last, for brawling in the parish church of St. George-in-the-East. The conviction was the first under the new act, the 23d and 24th of Vic toria, cap. 32. The second conviction under the same act took place at the Thames Police-court on Thursday, when Mr. Selfe sentenced a dock labourer, named Joseph Rowe, to three weeks' im prisonment for riotous, violent, and indecent beha viour in St. George's Church . on the 23d ultimo. Rowe's sentence has not yet been appealed against, and it is believed that the Anti-Puseyite League established in the parish of St. George will, in this instance, allow the law to take its course unques tioned. It has been recently stated at a public meeting by Mr. Stephens, a tradesman in Rateliff highway, and a vestryman of St. George, that the Rev. Mr. Hansard, appointed to officiate during the absence of the Rev. Bryan King, had determined to resign ; as he was bound by the agreement he had entered into with the Rev. Mr. King to carry on the services of the Church in such a manner as to hurt the feelings of the parishioners. Mr. Stephens also stated that the Rev. Mr. Hansard had said, that in three weeks or a month a new minister would supply his place. The parishioners of St. George were in hopes that when the rector, the Rev. Dove Dove, and the Rev. Mr. Lowder departed from the parish there would be an entire change in the Tractarian services, so distasteful to the parishioners. and the occasion of ma much litigation and There has, however, been little alteration in the mode of conducting the services since the departure of the rector; the tumult in the church last Sunday was very great, and some of the choristers were hooted and hissed through the streets after they lett the church. The Rev. Mr. Hansard, though deservedly respected, and who has not carried out High Church practices so zealously as the unpopular rec tor, has failed to allay the angry feelings of the parishioners. It has been intimated that the police will not be allowed to assemble in large bodies in the church again, or to interfere at all, unless called upon by the churchwardens to put down some seri ous breach of the peace, or protect the fabric from injury. In the present temper of the people of St. George's, there are only two alternatives, the entire closing of the parish church, or a return to the mode of conducting divine worship which existed before the appointment of the Rev. Bryan King to the rectory. Mr. Neal, the secretary of the Anti- Puseyite League, has demanded the following changes in the mode of conducting the services in the parish church. The Psalms to be read, not sung; the dismissal of the surpliced choristers; the discontinuance of the Popish hymnal ; the black gown to be worn in the morning and evening ; no offertory, and the removal of the super altar and decorations. In fact, the ratepayers desire that the services in their parish church, which was built at the expense of the nation, in the reign of a Protes tant King, should be conducted precisely in the same manner as they are solemnised at the three district churches in the parish. The appeal against Mr. Elliott's conviction will be tried at the Middlesex Sessions on or about the 25th Oct., and a great many witnesses will be called on both sides. Mr. Metcalfe has been retained by Mr. Smi+h to sustain the magistrate's conviction. The Rev. Bryan King and the Rev. Dove Dove, who gave evidence at the Thames Police Court, are at pre sent on the Continent. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The usual meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in the Council Chamber, Guildhall ; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement was presented, which showed the following cash balances :—Current ac counts, £73,433 12s. 9d.; deposit accounts, £172,000; Government securities. £32,479 ls. 10d. THE PROGRESS OF THE MAIN DRAINAGE WORKS, Mr. Bazalgette, the chief engineer to the Board, presented the following report of the progress and ccst of works executed on the several lines construct ing for main drainage purposes : I be 3 to report that the progress of main drainage works during the past summer has not been so satisfactory as could have been 'wished, owing mainly t 3 the unusually wet season we have had, and other unforeseen difficulties which have occurred. " On the North Side of the Thames—The northern high level sewer would, with ordinary fine weather, have been completed ere this, but the old liacl-ney-brook remains to be filled in, and severalbranch connexions and divisions of local drainage will have to be made under this contract. The value of the work executed up to the present time is about £159,700. " The Middle Level Sewer works have also been delayed by some di Eficultie3 with the contractor; it is hoped these w,ll now be satisfactorily settled, and that the works will proceed more rapidly. About 1,100 feet of sewer, 9ft. Gin in diameter, has been constructed at Old Ford, and about 2.000 at Paddington. The value cf the work executedunder the cortract is about £10,400. "The Ranelagh storm overflow across Hyde-park is being well executed ; about 600 feet of sewer, Bft. 6in. in diameter, haN lug been completed, and works to the amount of about £2,200 execut , d, besides £650 for the under-pinning of the Ranelagh tower in connexion with these works. On the South Side of the Thames.—The Southern High Level Sewer works were delayed considerably by the ina bility of the former contractors to proceed with them, but they are now being more satisfactorily performed by their successors, and about 960 feet of double sewer, from about 10 feet 6 inches in diameter, have been constructed at Deptford, about 1,630 feet of 10 -feet sewer at Brixton, and about 2,000 feet of smaller sewers, besides 3,600 feet of the Effra batch, 8 feet 3 inches in diameter, and another 900 feet 7 inches in diameter. The works executed under this contract are valued at about £38,000. " Southern Low Level Sewer.—The portion of this work under the Sur:ey Consumers' Gas-yard, recently let, has not been commenced, owing, first, to some delay in getting the late contractor's plant off the ground, and then to the necessity of sinking further cylinders for the pumping en dues, and the time required to provide suitab'e engines prior to the commencement of this woes. The contract with Mr. Aird for the completion of the work done is still in the course of settlement. The Deptford pumping en gines are rapidly progressing, and will be ready for deli very before the engine-house foundations are ready for their reception." The report was received, and ordered to be printed and circulated. TlilE STATE OF BATTERSEA FARE. A letter was received from Mr. Alfred Austin, secretary to her Majesty's Office of Works, com plaining that, although the course of the ()inn sewer in Battersea Park has been cleared, no steps have been taken for its deodorization, as promised by the Board. Tha Engineer to the Board reported that, unless warm weather should unexpectedly set in, he should not consider deodorization to be necessary. THE OUTSTANDING PRECEPTS DUE TO THE BOARD, Mr. WILKINSON urged that it was high time that the parishes should be called upon to pay the several outstanding sums due to this Board, and moved,— " That the board do consider the propriety of taking the necessary steps to obtain payment forthwith of the sums outstanding on the several precepts." Mr. LESLIE seconded the motion. Mr. FREEMAN opposed the motion, and contended that Parliament had not had a fair opportunity of considering the bill for the redistribution of the sums of money due to the board. Several members having expressed themselves opposed to further delay in the collection of this money, the motion was put and agreed to by a majority of 20 to 4. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT. Mr. LE BRETON rose to move the resolution of which be had given notice : " That it be referred to the Main Drainage Committee to consider and report as to what measures it is expedient to take as to the proposal of carrying out the Thames Em bankment in connection with the Northern Low-level Sewers; the throwing open, toll free, of Waterloo and Southwark Bridges; and the making of a viaduct across the Holborn valley, with power to confer with the Govern ment and other parties as to the provision of the necessary funds for all or such of the above works as the board may resolve upon undertaking." He said that altiough the question he had to bring for ward was of great importance it would be unne cessary for him to go at length into it, as every member of the board was as well acquainted with it as he was. He had seen the report of the committee of the House of Commons on the Thames embank ment, and he could not refrain from expressing the satisfaction and delight he experienced in reading the evidence of their chairman, who so thoroughly understood the question, and it reflected the highest credit upon him. By a paragraph in that report he found that the committee recommended that there should be a Thames embankment, to he car ried out by the Metropolitan Board of Works and the Thames Conservancy Commissioners, in eon junction with the low level sewer, and a roadway for the purpose of relieving the present very crowded thoroughfares of the metropolis. These were sub forward at th e n e l e t t tse ew,committee, ought to con s id er . which he otherthought the Main Drainage C oca _ be a doubt about that, as in 1861 the coal duties r A i g s h t t o the t e h s e t i r o e n b o bably for ever, and before that took place they would expire, pro. e cu i l n d g hardly brought ought to consider whether the cost of a Thames embankment ought not to be the first carrying out the duties on coals. The time too for charge upon works for intercepting drainage was fast expiring, December, 1663. they must be finished by the 31 st 1863. It therefore became necessary that they should early take the question of a Thames into consideration. Then there was the throwing open of Southwark and Waterloo-bridges toll free , which might almost be looked upon as a necessary consequence of a Thames embankment. All these questions would require the greatest attention, but he would not express any opinion then upon them, as he should prefer that the Main Drainage Com mittee should confer vrith the Government or the City of London as to the means of carrying 00 these great works, so that they might not b e c h arge d ' on the rates. Then there was the question of the Holborn viaduct in connection with the Metropoli tan or underground Railway, to which, to the credit of the Corporation of the City of London, they had subsc-ibed £200,000. There was also a plan for carrying a railway in connection with this site over Ludgate hill and the river Thames, and therefore the present was the most important time for considering whether something could not be done towards carrying out the Holborn viaduct. He could not go into the details of the cost, but would move that the subject be referred to the Main Drainage Committee, for them to consider whether it would be advisable that some of these schemes should be undertaken. Mr. CARFMAEL seconded the motion. Mr. LEGGE thought they ought to have a special I meeting for the consideration of these questions. Mr. DixoN hoped that the new street in the Commercial-road would be included in this plan, as he looked upon that as of more value than all the others put together. Mr. Deputy HARRISON said they had got the re port of the House of Commons, in which there were cert Fin recommendations in reference to the em bankment of the Thames. He thought the Board ought to approach them in the ordinary way, and not mix up two or three things together, which might tend to hamper the proceedings of the com miltee. He wished Mr. Le Breton to confine his reference to the Thames embarkment, and then perhaps they might be able to do some good withit. Mr. FREEMAN said, he believed by adopting this motion they would be taking the subject out of the hands of the House of Commons, with whom it ought to rest. Mr. ECKETT said he differed from Mr. Freeman, for he did not think that by passing the resolution they would be committed to carry out the works. Mr. LE BRETON, adopting Mr. Deputy Harri son's suggestion, altered his resolution as follows : " That it be referred to the Main Drainage Cemmiaee to consider and report as to what measures it is expedient to take as to the recommendations in the report of the Committee of the House of Commons on the Thames em bankment and other improvements connected therewith, and to report to the Board." The resolution was put and carried unanimously, and the Board adjourned. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION, A meeting of this institution was held on Thurs day at its house, John-street, Adelphi—Thomas Chapman, Esq.. F.R.S ,in the chair. There were also present Sir E. G. L. Perrott, Bart. ; Capt. Ryder, R.N. ; Alex. Bodefour, Esq. ; Capt. De St. Croix, and Capt. J. R. Ward, R.N., inspector of life boats to the institution. Mr. LEWIS, the secretary, read the minutes of the previous meeting. A report was read from Capt. Shaw, the harbour master at Ramsgate, stating that the Northumber land prize lifeboat had on the night of the 24th ult., in conjunction with the commissioners' steam tug, been instrumental in saving during a heavy gale and terrific sea the crew of nine men from the barque Linda of Whitby, which had foundered on the Good win Sands on that tempestuous night, In the per formance of that service one of the crew of the lifeboat, named Henry Venion, was by a heavy sea completely washed out of her; but in God's mercy he was saved. It was past 3 o'clock in the morning before the shipwrecked crew were brought into Ramsgate, where, on landing, the master of the Linda expressed a strong conviction that his ship would probably float off the Goodwin. This was a most:providential interposition, as the sequel will show. The lifeboat with her gallant crew again proceeded, in less than an hour, in com pany with the steamer, towards the fatal Goodwin. On their arrival they found the Linda full of water and rapidly breaking up ; but on looking over the sands at the dawn of day they saw :a large ship with her three masts gone, the sea making a com plete breach over her, and her numerous crew hold. ing on for their lives. Not a moment was now to be lost. Bot how was the lifeboat to get through such heavy broken water ? The crew and lifeboat must be imperilled in this great venture. The noble craft, like a thing of - life, ultimately succeeds in ap proaching the wreck, from which, one by one, 13 poor creatures are rescued from inevitable death. The vessel proved to be the barque Ariel, of Gotten burg, with a cargo of deals, to Marseilles. Such is the character of the last noble service performed by the Ramsgate lifeboat, which is on the same principle as the lifeboats of the National Life boat Institution. She will self-right if upset; will readily self-eject any seas she may ship, as was too often proved during the stormy night and morning in question. The coxswain of the lifeboat, on land ing at Ramsgate, said he was too certain that some of her planking had been • shaken, owing to the blowy thumping the boat had received whilst cross ing the sands; but upon examination it was found that she had sustained no injury. She belongs to the Royal Harbour Commissioners of Ramsgate, and has during the last seven or eight years been instrumental in rescuing 110 shipwrecked sailors from a watery grave. The crew will be rewarded by the commissioners, in addition to receiving sal vage, for their intrepid and important services. A reward of .£4 was voted to the crew of the Dun dalk lifeboat for pulling off and rendering impor tant services to the fishing smack John James, of the Isle of Man, which, in a heavy sea and thick fog, had stranded on Dundalk Bar, on the 18th ult. The lifeboat had put two of her crew on board the vessel, and they with the smack's crew ultimately succeeded in beating her out of the bay, and in starting her for her destination. Had not the life boat's services been very prompt, the smack, which was thumping heavily, and rapidly making water, would probably have gone to pieces. The life boat was reported to have behaved very well on the occasion . A reward of £l6 was also voted to the crew of the lugger, Diana, of Deal, and the silver medal of the institution to Thomas Trott, one of her men, for their gallant and prompt services in putting off and saving at considerable risk of life the crew of ten men of the Norwegian brig Poseidon, which, during a heavy gale of wind, had sunk on the Good win Sands very early on the morning of the 25th ult. As the vessel was beating over the sands great difficulty was experienced in boarding her. The lugger's crew, however, succeeded at last in reach ing her just as she was drifting off the wands, where she immediately sank. The rigging of the ship having got foul of the lugger's mast must have caused the upsetting of the latter had rot Thomas Trott instantaneously jumped on board the wreck and cut away the gear. The lugger, which sus tained considerable damage, drove into Ramsgate about noon, when the ten shipwrecked men, with their faithful dog, were landid amidst the cheers of hundreds of persAas, who crowded the pice. A reward of £l4 was likewise given to the crew of a Pakefield yawl for putting off recently in the night and rescuing, at much risk of life, and after repeated attempts, the crew of the schooner Adam Young, of North Shields, which, during a strong gale of wind and thick weather, with rain, had re• cently sunk on the Holm Sand, on the Suffolk coast. In proceeding to the vessel's assistance the yawl was compelled to cross the Newcome and Holm Sands through a heavy surf, it blowing very hard at the time with heavy squalls. On reaching the vessel the yawl's crew found it impossible to board her, in consequence of the heavy sea that was breaking over the sands. They were, therefore, ob liged to let go an anchor outside of her, with a spring on the cable to sheer down to her. They saw that the vessel's boat hag been knocked to pieces, and that she herself was rapidly sinking. Atter several attempts a communication was effected between the yawl and the vessel, and by means of a warp the yawl was brought under the jibboom of the ship, from which her crew of four men were taken by means of another line, one by one, into the yawl. After again crossing the Newcome Sands the poor shipwrecked men were safely landed, at 2 o'clock in the morning, in Lowestoft harbour. Various ether rewards were also voted for saving life from wrecks. It will thus be seen that, even during the heavy gales of the last few weeks, about 40 of our fellow creatures have been literally snatched by lifeboats and shoreboats from an appalling death by ship wrecks. It is impossible to over-estimate the value of such services as these, but they are properly ap preciated by the poor men themselves and by many who, in the absence of these brave services, would to-day be widows and orphans. Commurications were received from the Gover nors of the Cape of Good Hope and Ceylon, stating that their Excellencies had given directions for the circulation, as widely as possible throughout the colonies, of the Institution's Instructions for the Restoration of the Apparently Drowned. It was said that the institution was now taking some active measures to supply its lifeboat stations on the coast with excellent barometers for the use of seafaring people of those localities. A gentleman had kindly promised to defray the cost of the baro meter for Tenby, and a neat stone pillar in which it was to be kept. We trust many persons will be found to follow this laudable example, for it is hardly possible to calculate the benefit that is likely to arise from the use of a good barometer at many fishing stations. It is not long since that one of such places on the coast of Scotland was provided with a barometer by the Board of Trade. The fishermen observed the great fall of the mercury during the night, and therefore refrained from going to sea. The neighbouring fishing village was not so fortunate as to possess a barometer. The poor melll went to sea. They were overtaken by a fearful storm, and nearly every one of them perished in the course of the day and night that followed. A lady resident in Bideford had forwarded to the institution a very liberal contribution of £B7 to wards the purchase of a lifeboat, being the proceeds of her own poems on " The Lifeboat" and " The Wreck of the Royal Charter." During the past month the society had forwarded lifeboats to Newquay, in Cornwall ; Banff and North Berwick, Scotland; Tyr.,ll?, in Dand - tum Bay ; and Newbiggin, Northumberland ; the last named to replace a lifeboat which had become un fit for service. The committee expressed their sympathy with the family of the late Mr. H. Ingram, M.P., pro prietor of the Illustrated London News. He was a warm friend of the lifeboat cause, to which he had for many years past rendered important service through the medium of his well-conducted journal. One of the most dangerous parts cf the English coast is his native county, Lincoln. We should be glad to see on it a lifeboat, to be called the " Her bert Ingram," in memory of one of the most indus trious and generous men of the county. It was stated that the institution had expended during the present year upwards of £7,500 on new lifeboat establishments, and the maintenance cf its previously formed stations in a state of efficiency. As the demands on its limited funds continue to be unusually heavy, the support of the public is ear nestly requested. Payments amounting to £1,027 having been made on various lifeboat establishments, the pro ceedings terminated. GENERAL PEEL ON THE NATIONAL DEFENCES. HUNTINGDON, FRIDAY. The annual meeting of the Huntingdon Agricul tural Association was held this day for the exhibi tion of stock, &C. At the dinner at the Town hall, in the afternoon, the Duke of Manchester presided, and was supported by the Right Hon. General Peel, M.P., Mr. T. Baring, M.P., Lard Robert MOntagu, M P., Mr. Fellowes, M.P., Mr. Rust, formerly member for the county, Mr. D. Herbert, mayor of Huntingdon, Dr. Ward, Lieut. Heathcote, the Rev. J. D. Shafto, Mr. J. M. Heathcote, Mr. G. Thornhill, the Rev. J. Linton, Mr. C. Veasey, The usual loyal toasts having been honoured, The CHAIRMAN gave "The Army, Navy, and Volunteers." General PEEL, M.P., on rising to respond, was received with loud cheers. He said—Gentlemen, the compliment that you have just paid to the army and navy and the volunteers includes some 600,000 individuals. That branch of it to which I have the honour to belong, and for which it is now my duty to return thanks, namely, her Majesty's regular army, comprises alone, with the magnifi cent addition which has just been made to it of the local European army of India, no lees than. 250,000 men. The volunteers, the pensioners, the militia, and the yeomanry swell the number to 500,000, and if we add our gallant sailors and the Royal Marines, than which there is not a finer body of men in the world, the total number will reach at least 600,000, all of whom were prepared to defend the possessions of her Majesty. (Cheers.) And yet gentlemen, we are told that we are not a military nation. For the purposes of aggression I trust we never may be. (Loud cheers.) I sincerely hope that we shall never be induced to interfere with the affairs of other nations, and I trust, at all events, that we shall never go to war for an idea. (Hear, hear.) But for the purposes of defence, I hope we may ever be found a very military nation, and that it will be seen that upon that point we entertain some very strong ideas, which we are prepared to fight for if necessary. (Cheers.) One of those ideas I take to be this—that if a foreign foe were ever to be allowed to land in the country, we have an idea that he would never be allowed to go back again. (Cheers.) In carrying out that idea, lam perfectly certain that the regular army would re ceive every assistance from all those other branches of the service which I have just mentioned. I have not, however, the slightest idea that such a con tingency will ever arise. (Cheers.) The volunteer movement has now become a great and established fact, and I trust that it will long continue to be so. I trust that those who have come forward with so much spirit will not only continue their own ser vices, but do all in their power to encourage others to follow their example. (Cheers.) This has been truly a voluntary movement. I give the Government every credit for the assistance and encouragement they have afforded to it—an assistance and encour agement greater than I was able-to afford to it, be cause the rifles were not in existence when I was in office, though I have the gratification of knowing that they were all ordered by me. (Hear, hear.) But you may depend upon it the movement would never have assumed the magnitude it has done if it were not for the exertions of individuals in different localities. You all know in this county how much you are indebted to the noble duke in the chair, and to others, for the corps which now do you so much credit; and though it would be invidious to mention the names of individuals, it is impossible not to admit that Lord Elcho, and other young noblemen who came forward to form the corps which they now so worthily command, are entitled to the thanks of the country. (Cheers.) The esta blishment of the National Rifle Association was also a most praiseworthy object, and I am glad to see that the plan of offering prizes for competition is rapidly extending throughout the whole country. At the same time I hope I may be allowed to say a word to the volunteers in reference to these prize meetings. Let no man be discouraged because be has failed b obtain a prize. If you cannot attain that accuracy necessary to enable you to secure good prizes do not let it dishearten you for a mo ment or induce you to think of withdrawing from the corps. You may depend upon it that there are very good soldiers who are very indifferent shots. (Hear, hear.) To fire at a bull's-eye and at a bat talion are two very different things. No great battle was ever won by the dexterity of individuals but by the steadiness and valour of the masses and the confidence that each places in the other. (Hear, and cheers.) Those are the means by which great results are attained. (Hear, hear.) Perhaps as I was for 16 months responsible for the security of the country from attack as much as the minister for war, whoever he may be, is responsible to the country for its security, it will not be out of place to mention one fact which makes me think that this volunteer movement is of far greater consequence than wally penors imagine. It is admitted by everybody that the great security for the defence of the country must always rest upon our maritime superiority. It is imagilei by many that our navy ought not only to be equal to that of any other country, but equal to that of all other countrics combined; and that if it be not so we must always maintain in the country a large trilit - .:.ry force, and that without the volunteers we should not have such a force. Now, it is somewhat disheartening that after all the exertions we have made during the last two yeara, and the money we have lavished upon the navy, to say that a great doubt has arisen whether the ships we have built and the money we have expended have not been thrown away. It is now supposed that a new war vessel—the iron cased frigate—has been established, and that it will ren der almost all the exertions we have made and the money we have spent useless. Upon this subject I may state an opinion which, within the last eight days, was given to me by ogle to whose judgment, with respect to projectiles, I attach great import ance—l mean Sir William Armstrong. He told me that he considers this question as merely one of naval architecture, and that if you can produce iron cased vessels attaining anything like the same speed, and as seaworthy as the ordinary man-of-war, no other vessel will have the slightest chance against them. (Hear, hear.) If this be true, and I do not doubt it for a moment, what will be the consequence ? Why, the entire reconstruction of our navy. (Hear, hear.) To give you an idea of the expense that would attend such reconstruction, allow me to inform you that two vessels which were ordered by Lord Derby's Go vernment, and which are now in the course of con struction, will cost no less than a million of money —X500,000 each. (Hear, hear.) But whatever the cost may be, this country cannot afford to be behind any other either with regard to the supe riority of its ships or of weapons of defence gene rally. (Cheers.) I perfectly believe that we are at least Equal in point of soldiers and sailors, and in the name of the former I beg to return you my thanks for the honour you have done them in drinking their healths. (Loud cheers.) Mr. FELLOWES, M.P., proposed " The health of the Chairman, as Patron of the Association." The Duke of MANCHESTER, in responding, refer red to the volunteer movement. He said one great std . vantage of the movement was that it enabled him to mix more freely and intimately with his neighbours than he had ever had an opportunity of doing befom. He felt very grateful to the county for the assistance it had afforded him, and he was happy to say that at the late review in Hyde-park the Huntingdon Mounted Miles occupied a very high position. He thought it the duty of every man who possessed health, strength, and leisure to join some corps or assist with his money. In many re spects the movement was most beneficial. It made persons think of something beyond money-making, upon which they had thought and legislated too much of late years. (Hear, hear.) The forma tion of a body of volunteers had, .he believed, raised the position of the count r y immensely in the eyes of foreign nations, and he hoped the men who had joined the differest corps would persevere in their drill. He had heard some per sonssay, as a reason for n ot joining, that they would join soon enough if there Nv as an invasion i But they should remember that t would be too. late then, as an untrained, man was utterly use-. less against an organised army. It was only by cbse:p.ine and organisation that they could hope to resist a well-trained army in the field. (Hear.) EXTRAORDINARY .1111 POSITION. It has often been said that truth is stranger than fiction, and the following narrative of facts that have transpired relating to the charge made a short time back against a woman named Elliot and a man named Johnson, of having stolen a child named Ciara Ti_son Smith, five years of age, under very singular circumstances, will to some extent bear out the saying. It seems that a short time back a young woman, meanly dressed, but who exhibited the appearann of having been brought up as a gentlewoman, and whose manners were ladylike and pled sing, called at fhe residence of Sir R. W. Carden, at 8 o'clock in the morning, and requested particularly to be allowed to have an interview with the worthy alder man. He had only just come down to breakfast, but he consented to see the applicant, who was accordingly admitted. She then, in a very earnest and pathetic manner, related a pitiable story. She was the daughter of Captain --, of Southampton, an old and meritorious officer, and had married without his consent, and, cast off from her friends, .and having no resources, her husband being away from her, she was reduced to a state of the utmost distress and misery. Sir Robert kindly put some questions to her, and asked what her intentions were, and what she wished him to do in her behalf. She replied that she was most anxious to return to her father at Southampton, who she believed would forgive and receive her, but all her clothes were in pawn, and she had an infant, and no money to pay for her fare to Southampton or to redeem her clothes. Sir Robert put several questions, and the answers she gave and her manners had such an effect that the worthy alderman, whose experience readers him a very unlikely subject to be deceived, was completely impressed with the belief of the tale that was told him; he therefore very kindly gave the applicant a couple of sovereigns, and told her immediately to redeem the articles of clothing for herself and child, and proceed at once to Southampton, and he at the same time requested that she would write to him when she arrived, and inform him of the result of her interview. The applicant gave Sir Robert the address of her father, and promised to do as he re quested, and after thanking him earnestly for his kindness she left. Time rolled on and no answer was received, and at length the worthy alderman began to imagine that he had been deceived and imposed upon. About this time the woman Elliott and her pretended husband were under examina tion upon the charge of stealing the child above re ferred to, but of course no idea was entertained that the woman had anything to do with the imposture. that had been practised upon the worthy alder man, and the fact was discovered in a very strange way. The woman Elliott had been admitted to bail to appear and take her trial at the Central Crimi nal Court with Johnson, and just before the session Six Robert Carden,who is one of the visitingjustices of Newgate i , happened to be at Newgate in the course of his official duty, when Mr. Jonas, the go vernor, handed him a letter addressed to Johnson, and signed Sarah Elliott, in which she announced her intention to commit suicide, and said that be fore the letter would be revived she should be dead. The letter was dated ". -terrace, Southampton," and Sir Robert at once recognised the address as the same given by the woman to whom he had ren dered assistance under the circumstances above stated, and also the handwriting, and there was no doubt that she was the same person. From fur ther inquiries that have since been made respecting her, it turn 3 out that she really is well con nected, and that her father was formerly an officer in the navy, but it seems that in consequence of her misconduct she has long been discarded by her family, and her career has been one of a very ex traordinary nature. Of course inquiries were instituted, as the pri soner did not appear at the trial, to ascertain whether there were any grounds for supposing that she had really committed suicide, but nothing what ever was ascertained that in any manner confirmed her statement, and the belief is that it was merely a trick resorted to by her to account for her non-ap pearance to take her trial, and to throw the officers off the scent.

A boy, ten years of age, hanged himself for fear of being sent away from home to one of the Paris schools. A companion of about the same age, when he heard of the death of his friend, said " Poor Julien I I shall hang myself too." After the funeral, hswever, the latter recovered his spirits, at least to all appearance ; but the other day ho also was found to have hanged himself. BIItTHS.
