CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 12th January, shows some important changes. In the public deposits there is a decrease of upwards of four millions, consequent upon the payment of the dividends to the public, and in the private deposits there is a proportionate increase, the addition being about two millions sterling. The other securities show a falling off of about a million and a half, which is accounted for by the repayment of advances made upon stock during the shutting of the transfer books. In the bullion there is a slight addition, but not of sufficient importance to attract attention. The active circulation shows an aug mentation of about £200,000. In the other items of the balance-sheet there is little alteration re quiring notice, and the various items will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. • • .. £21,080,165 Increase , •• • • 197,915 Bullion .. .. • . 19,192,350 Increase 46,701 Rest • • • . .. 3,214,101 Increase .. • • • • • . 47,239 Public Deposits 5 518 742 Decrease .. • • 4,113,567 Other Deposits 15 725 808 Increase .' • . 2,145,702 Seven Day'and other Bills .. 838,535 Increase . • • • • 16,740 Government Securities • • .. 10,698,807 Decrease .. • • 107,124 Other Securities 16 564 194 Decrease .. 1,645,548 Notes Unemployed 11,955,935 Decrease • • 215,065 In the F ore i gn Exchanges yesterday afternoon there was an important advance in the rates on Vienna and Trieste ; the others were without ma terial altration.

LABOUCHERE. Mr. Bolt, Q.C., resumed his argument for the appellant, in reply this morning, in this important part-heard appeal cause, which has been already reported. It will be remembered that this is an appeal from a de cision of Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, and the contention is whether a bond granted to the Bank in secu rity for advances to be made to the late Mr. J. MacGregor, M.P., for £30,000, is void, from want of valuable considera tion. It is expected the aguments will be concluded on Monday, ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Rornilly.) JUDGMENTS. -..MATTHEWS V. JOULE.-MATTHEWS V, WYNNE.-1N RE TRAFFORD'S TRUSTS. His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judg ment, said—This is a question on the construction of the will of the late Edward Trafford, and the question is, whether the shares bequeathed to the children of Sarah Jones, his daughter, vested or were not vested on their births, or were or were not vested on their attaining the age of twenty-one, or on their marriage. The testator gave £l5O to his wife, and directed his trustees to assign a divi dend of one-fourth share to his daughter, Sarah Jones, of his separate estate without anticipation. And then he directed that one-fourth part or share of the trust funds, or dividends arising therefrom, should be given to either one or more of the children of the said Sarah Jones, or their children, on attaining twenty-one years of age, with power of appointment in the mother in favour of her chil dren before attaining the age of 21, and for educational purposes. He considered, as the testator himself had used the term " vested " in the ordinary and legal acceptation in the bequests to his wife and daughter, that he had also used it in the same manner in his bequests to the children of his daughter. He made a declaration to the effect that the shares of the daughter and her children vested on their attaining the age of 21. He considered that this was a proper suit to be brought into court, and that the costs of all parties should be paid out of the trust funds. Counsel in the cause—Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., Mr. Greene, Q.C., and Mr. Selwyn, Q.C. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Mr. justice Byles and a Common Jury.) TUCKER. V. MAXWELL. This was an action in which a question of some import. ante to advertisers arose. Mr. Huddleston, with Mr. Joyce, appeared for the plain• tiff, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. T. Atkinson ap peared for the defendant. Mr Huddleston, in opening the case, said the plaintiff carried on business in John-street, Bedford-row, in con nection with the Metropolitan Advertising Company, and was in the habit of purchasing the right of exhibiting large boards in advantageous situations, which he let out to per sons anxious to advertise their commodities and goods for sale Mr. Tucker expended as much as £2,000 or £3,000 a-year in such a manner. The defendant, Maxwell, was the proprietor and publisher of a work called " Town Talk," and, being anxious to avail himself of the facilities offered by Mr. Tucker, wrote to him to ascertain the terms for exhibiting placards announcing his publication. In the month of May Maxwell made this application, and in a short time after wards an arrangement was entered into to exhibit the " Town Talk" bills at all the stations. Shortly afterwards a large quantity of immense show-boards, 7 feet 6 inches in length and 3 feet 6 inches in breadth, were posted in a great many positions in the metropolis. The contract was duly performed by Mr. Tucker, and the present action was brought to recover the amount due for three months' exhibition of placards. The placards were exhibited from the 10th of July to the 10th of Oct. The terms agreed upon were £35 per month for three months, which would amount to £lO5. AcCording to the custom of the trade 10 per cent. was allowed, making the. amount £94 10s. A sum of £2O on account had been paid by Mr. Max well, and it was for the remaining amount the present action was brought. Mr. George Tucker, the plaintiff, and his son; were examined, and stated the exact nature of the contract entered into with the defendant. By that agreement they were to expose the large boards on all their stations, wh;ch had duly been performed, and the defendant haci, been driven round the advertising district of the plaintiff in one of his carts. The advertising circle extended from Bow to Fulham and from Hampstead to Clapham Common. Mr. Maxwell saw the boards were properly posted. One hundred and twenty-eight stations were ` :sited, and everything appeared to be satisfactory. In cross-examination Mr. Tucker, jvn., said the Metropolitan Permanent Advertising Company was established in 1851. Mr. Justice Byles—Then it is not limited. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—Your father and yourself then comprised the company ? Witness—Yes. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—Your father and you were the permanent unlimited company Witness—Yes. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—No one else was in it ? • Witness—No. (Laughter.) We traded under the name of the Metropolitan Permanent Advertising Company. In June the largest number of available stations was 140. Mr. Hawkins—Were all these stations available ? Witnoss—No ; we could not say they were all available, because some of them were under the arches of the South- Western Railway. (Laughter.) Mr Hawkins—Where the bills cannot be seen ? :Laughter.) Witness—There was no great traffic. (Laughter.) We were obliged to put them down as available to prevent bill stickers from encroaching. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—That board (pointing to a Urge poster in a frame) was made to put up at one of the steam-boat piers ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Hawkins—Did you ever put it up ? Witness—No. Mr. Hawkins—Did you have stations at all the other bridges ? Witness—No ; only at Hungerford and Battersea bridges. I never told Mr. Maxwell we had stations at all the other piers. The agreement entered into with Mr. Maxwell was £35 a month, but if it was continued over six months it was to be £32. Mr. Maxwell never said he should consider himself to be,at liberty to terminate our agreement at any time on giving a month's notice. Mr. Huddleston—You pay large sums for particular stations ? Witness—Yes; for the outside of one particular house we pay £65 per annum. (Laughter.) Mr. Justice Byles—That's rent enough, I should think, for the inside as well. (Laughter.) The four men employed by the plaintiff to fix the defen dant's boards gave evidence accordingly. A document sent to the plaintiff by the defendant, offer ing to settle the action for XlO, having been put in, the case for the plaintiff closed. Mr. Hawkins addressed the jury for the defendant, and contended that the plaintiff had failed to perform his part of the contract, as he had not exhibited the bills at all his stations, and the offer of £4O to stay proceedings was made merely to obviate the loss of time consequent upon the trial of tha cause before a jury. [The case was proceeding when we went to press,' SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) SINGULAR AND IMPORTANT CASE.-PEARCE AND ANOTHER V. PIPER. This was an action to recover £5O commission for obtain ing defendant a partner with £l,OOO capital. Mr. Beard appeared for plaintiff. Mr. Sharpe was counsel for defendant. Mr. Beard stated that in the month of August' last a Mr. Appleford called upon defendant (an old friend), and asked him if he (Mr. Piper) had heard 'of his misfortune ? Defendant replied that he had not. Mr. Appleford said, " I have been bankrupt, and am now carrying on business in the name of my brother-in-law, James Pearce, in Lom bard-street, as an accountant and agent." He then asked defendant to distribute some cards for him, and handed him some circulars. Defendant informed him that he was looking out for a partner with capital, and plaintiff obtained him one (a Mr. Dixon), and now sought to recover his commission for so doing. Plaintiff was called, and proved the above facts. He was cross-examined by Mr. Sharpe at some length, and stated that he had applied to both defendant and Mr. Dixon for his commission. The usual charges were 5 per cent. on, the first £l,OOO, and i2l per cent. on each £l,OOO above He carried on the ,business as Pearoe and Co. He was only two or three days about the business. Mr. Sharpe then contended that plaintiff should be non suited, as suing in the name of Pearce and Co., when he was de facto the plaintiff, and should sue as Appleford. His Honour decided that he had acted in cause. He was trading as Pearce • and Co., and, by the permission and consent of his brother-in-law, under his name. He was responsible to Pearce, and could only sue in the name under which he negotiated the business. Mr. Sharpe then proceeded to show that plaintiff had no claim upon defendant, and should rather look to Mr. Dixon. Defendant was called. His evidence did not materially affect that given by the plaintiff, except that he was com municating with him as Appleford. Mr. Sharpe then put it, whether if plaintiff had any claim, he should not have sued both partners? Mr. Beard pointed out that, by the County Court law, plaintiff was permitted to sue one partner. He contended that if ever ftlll/111 was fairly entitled to a sum of money, that man was the plaintiff in the present case. By plaintiff's exertions defendant had obtained a good partner, and it was absurd to ignore the fact that plaintiff carried on the business as Pearce and Co. His Honour said that in this case plaintiff had elected to sue Piper, and was allowed by the County Court lawto do so. He did not see that defendant had any reason to complain. Plaintiff had evidently conducted this transaction'not only most efficiently, but most rapidly. 'Surely defendant would not grumble because plaintiff had procured him what he wanted in three days. Every ono remembered the story of the sailor who was charged a guinea by a famous London dentist for the rapid and dexterous extraction of a tvogi, Jack grumbled most lustily at the exorbitant charge, and said he had, at Portsmouth, been tugged about the room for half an hour, and then was only charged one shilling. (Laughter.) Defendant was not unlike that sailor. Plain tiff had quicklg earned his commission, which most cer tainly he was fairly entitled to. Verdict for the plaintiff for £5O and costs. CABBY AND THE MISTLETOE BOUGH. —BELL V. GOOTCH. Plaintiff is a cab-driver, and sought to recover 25., good and lawful money, in lieu of a counterfeit 2s. piece, alleged to have been received in change from defendant, landlady of the Bell, in the Old Bailey. Plaintiff stated that on the 27th December last he received half-a-crown from a fare, and drove up to defendant's house, in the Old Bailey, and there changed it. He had a glass of ale, and " three ha'porth of gin." (Laughter.) He put down in payment his half-crown, and received a two shilling piece and threepence. Upon leaving defendant's house plaintiff drove to the Plough, in Smithfield His Honour—Ahl That is a boxing-house ? Plaintiff—Yes. His Honour—Yes. It is kept by C. Davis the boxer What did you want there ? Plaintiff—Well, I just dropped in and had a little chat It was boxing-day, you know, and there I spent the 3d. His Honour—You had some more gin there I suppose, Plaintiff —Yes. I think I had another "three ha porth.' I then drove to the cab-stand at Sho reditch. His Honour —That was a long way off ? Plaintiff—Then I went to a coffee-shop to get change, and they told me the coin I tendered was a bad one. His Honour—What did you go to the coffee-shop for. Did you have any coffee ? Plaintiff—Oh I no, I didn't want any. His Honour—l should have imagined you 'did after all that gin. (Laughter.) Plaintiff—Well, I didn't have any, but drove back to defendant's house as fast as I could. When I got there I showed Mrs. Gootch what she had given me, and she denied all knowledge of the coin. I assured her that I had received the coin from her house and from her, but all I could get was, "Oh I we all know what sort of men you cabbies are I " (Laughter.) A gentleman who was present said, "Don't pay him, Mrs. Gootch; let him summon you." 'As she did not pay me, I adopted that gentleman's suggestion. MIL Gootch said—lt was impossible plaintiff could have taken the coin at her house. She was was very particular, and no one took money on that day in question but herself. She was very particular in testing every coin tendered. She tested the coins on a bender. She was quite -sure the plaintiff did not receive the coin at her house. Plaintiff—You took that money off a shelf. There was a good deal of laughing. All the mistletoe was ,hanzing up, and you were laughing with another young lady about in the bar. (Laughter.) Defendant denied that she was talking about the mis tletoe, and thought that had nothing to do with the case. Plaintiff—Well, but you know the mistletoe was up, Mrs. Gootch, and there was a good deal of chaffing going on. Mrs. Gootch—l know you had been drinking, and I also know that I did not give you the coin you now produce. You ought to examine your money before leaving the house. Our invariable rule is—no money exchanged after taken from the bar. His Honour—Jndeed. We shall alter that rule here. Do you remember what change you gave plaintiff in ex change for his half-crown. Defendant--No, I do not. His Honour—You see he swears most positively that he received the 2s. piece from you, and you are not in a posi tion to contradict him. Although he seems to have been greatly taken by the mistletoe bough, he remembers his change, and, as he accounts for his time and actions sub sequently to leaving your house, I shall give him a verdict POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.; MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULTS AT THE HAYMARKET THEATRE.—MT. Antonio Blacker, of 2, Upper Stamford-street, merchant, was charged with creating a disturbance at the entrance of the Haymarket Theatre, and also with assaulting George Stroud, 144 A, the constable on duty there. The constable said he was on duty at the pit entrance to the Haymarket Theatre on the previous night, when the accused created a great disturbance. lie had been drinking, and he told him that he would not be allowed to go in, but notwithstanding he persisted in his attempt, and on his again telling him he could not go in he struck him. He then went to the box entrance, and he was compelled to take him into custody. The accused said he had Paid to go in, having b , s ife and daughter with him at the time, but they got separated from him. It all arose from the bad temper of the check taker, who would not allow him to enter the theatre. Wm. Turner, the check-taker, said the accused's wife assaulted him, being at the time in a state of great excite ment. He gave the gentleman his money back, seeing that he had had as much as was good for him. Mr. Inspector Steer said at the station the'accused seemed to have been. drinking. Ho took bail for him. . The constable said he was not hurt. Mr. Bingham said there was enough to justify him ; -, 1 fining him the lowest fine-10s. Mr. John Rudkin, of 65, Myddelton-square, was charged with assaulting a gentleman in the boxes of the Haymarket Theatre. The complainant, it appears, had dropped some silver in the boxes, and the • defendant having interfered, a dispute arose, and the defendant was struck. The prosecutor not being forthcoming, the defendant was discharged. THAMES. THE LATE REVOLTING CASE OF RAPE.-Mr. H. J. Newman, the secretary of the Associate Institution for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, came before Mr. Yardley, and stated that in the early part of the week a German sailor, named Carl Butts, had been committed for trial for a criminal assault on a little girl, named Ellen Miles, eight years of age. The magistrate then expressed an earnest hope that the society, which he (Mr. Newman) represented, would take care of the child if it came within the scope of its operations. He was directed to state that the committee of the society would, under the peculiar circumstances of the case take charge of the girl. Arrangements had. been made for the admission of the girl into the Lock Hospital, Westbourne-grove, where she would re ceive proper medical advice and treatment, and be cured of the loathsome disease communicated to her by the sailor. Mr. Yardley—l am very glad to hear of this. Mr. Newman—l hope, sir, you approve of what has been done in this matter. Mr. Yardley—Approve of it ! certainly—nothing could be worse than the condition of the girl before she was brought to this court. Newman asked for an order for the girl to be de livered up to him. Mr. Yardley said the girl was under care and the control of the parochial authorities of the Stepney Union, and the matter was entirely out of his hands. Mr. Newman was then directed to apply at Limehouse Workhouse for the girl, and left the court for that purpose DEATH - THROUGH ALLEGED OMNIBUS RACING AT XENNINGTON. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Sergeant Payne, coroner for the City of London and Southwark, instituted an inquiry at Guy's Hospital, which lasted about five hours, relative to the circumstances attending the death of Mary Pratt, aged three years, the daughter of Mr. Henry Seymour Pratt, doorkeeper to the House of Commons. Mr. Pratt was represented by a solicitor ; Mr. Solomon attended on behalf of the driver King; and Acting Inspector Iremonger, of the P division, to watch the case for the police authorities. Mrs. Pratt stated that she was the wife of Mr. Henry Seymour Pratt, doorkeeper of the House of Commons, and mother of the deceased. On Tues day last, about half-past five o'clock in the evening, she was standing near to Kennington Church, holding her daughter by the left hand. Two omnibuses were then approaching from Kenning ton•gate, the first of which she hailed, and it stopped in the middle of the road. She stepped off the kerb, when she observed the other omnibus coining towards her; and as it did so the driver struck the horses with his whip, and before she could get out of the way the pole struck her on the forehead, knocking her and the deceased down. The vehicle passed over her, the horse kicking and bruising her. She was picked up by a gentleman, and did not at the time know what had become of the child. , They were both taken to a surgeon's, and afterwards to the hospital. By the Coroner—Was perfectly certain that the driver of the second omnibus whipped his horses anti came on at an increased pace to pass the one she had called. James Murphy, aged 11, corroborated the above evidence, adding, although cro3s.examined, that the driver King whipped his horses as he ap proached the lady. Mary Hiscock stated that she did not witness the * accident, but took charge of the deceased after it occurred. The spot was not dark, as there were close by five gas lamps. Daniel Hayward, conductor of the omnibus hailed by Mrs. Pratt, said that both vehicles be longed to Mr. Matthew Balls, and there was, therefore, no need for racing. Mrs. Pratt came to him within half a yard, as lie had the door open, but evidently, hearing the other omnibus approadh, became frightened and ran under the horses' legs. The last evidence was supported by Mr. Russell, of 12, Park-terrace, Brixton, hop and seed merchant, and Mr. Win. Carpmael, jun., of Southampton buildings, Chancery-lane. Mr. J. Rand, house surgeon, said deceased died on Thursday morning. She had a lacerated wound extending from the knee to the hip, death being caused by exhaustion consequent upon the injuries. Mrs. Pratt, on being recalled, denied running back as stated, and said that the driver, King, acknowledged at the hospital that he did whip his horses and endeavoured to pass the first omnibus. Other evidence having been adduced, the coroner summed up, and the jury retired to consider their verdict.. After a lengthened conversation, upon their return into c our t th ey recor d e d a verdict of accidental death. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A BLACK WALL RAILWAY & UA RD. Yesterday afterreon Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, held an inquest at the Guy Earl of Warwick Tavern, Crisp•street, East India-road, Poplar, re specting the death of Thomas William Barrett, aged 5r years,. a guard lately employed on the line of the Blackwell Rail way , w h o died under the fol lowing sudden circumstances : It appeared that the deceased had been in the service of the company 17 years, and bore an excel lent character for sobriety and good conduct. The deceased had enjoyed excellent health, and on the night of Wednesday last an anniversary supper was given at the house of Messrs. Heard, the Grundy Arms Tavern, Poplar. It was about eleven o'clock when the deceased entered the house with a friend named Pearson, and hearing harmony going on in the parlour, they, by permission of the landlady, were allowed to join the company. He left about two o'clock in the morning, and expressed himself delighted with the singing, and retired. He then proceeded to his residence, at No. 12, Crisp-street, where the landlady (Mr:. James) heard a moaning noise. The wife called the latter, and she went in at the wife's request. She was rubbing his stomach and he was sensible. 'He spoke and said, " I am very bad." The wife was dressed and seemed alarmed. She had been up with him an hour, and he seemed in pain and was very co ld. Mr. elham, the sur geon, was called, and attended, when remedies were administered, but deceased died shortly after wards. Mr. Ambrose Nelham, surgeon, of No. 21, Crisp street, Poplar, said that he was called on Thursday morning, at five o'clock, and found deceased lying partially on his face and left side upon the bed. Witness spoke to him and found him sensible. He had an agonising pain between the chest and stomach. Deceased said he had been drinking strong rum without water. Deceased seemed to be suffering from violent spasm of the chest. Anti dotes to allay the sufferings were given, but de ceased expired notwithstanding the greatest att tion was paid to him. The immediate canto of death was inflammation of the bowels. The Jury were dissatisfied with the medical tes timony, and ultimately the proceedings were adjourned for a post-mor•tem examination.

We have received letters from various corres pondents relative to the proceedings at Malta, and requesting us to draw a comparison between the training of his late Majesty King William IV., when Prince William Henry, and Prince Alfr€ d. In deference to their wishes we draw the following parallel : Prince William Henry embarked in kh e Royal Navy as a midshipman on the 15th Jun e , 1779, not having quite completed his fourteenth year. The first ship in which he served was .the Prince George, 98, bearing the flag of Rear-Ae.mi ral the Hon. Henry. Digby. The Prince's private tutor was Dr. Majendie, afterwards BiShop of Bangor; and the late Admiral Sir Richard Keats, lieutenant of the - ship, one of the strictest and most polished officers in the service, was chosen to be his Royal Hi g h ness ' s professional instructor. The Prince George was attached to the Channel Fleet until the latter end of the year, when the ship was ordered to form part of the fleet proceeding to the relief of Gibraltar, which for some time had been closely blockaded by the Spaniards. A Spanish 64. gun ship, captured on this occasion by the fleet, was re-named the Prince William, out of compli ment to the youthful midshipman. After participating in this important service the Prince George returned to England, and remained attached to the Channel Fleet, until the spring of • 1781, when she was employed at a second relief of Gibraltar, after which she proceeded to North America, as flag ship at that station. To avoid the tedium and temptation incident to a stationary ship the Prince was transferred to the Warwick, 50, commanded by Captain the Hon. G. K. Elphin stone, afterwards Lord Keith, under whose com mand he served until the 3d Nov., 1782, at which latter period he joined the Barfleur, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Lord Hood. While in the Barfleur the Prince first met Nelson, and the ac quaintance then commenced was closely maintained until the hero's death. ) His Royal Highness had been three years and a half at sea before we .meet with any particular mark of attention paid to his exalted rank, as the son of George 111. He appears to 'have been rigidly kept to his duty as a subordinate naval officer. During the -time he served in the Barfleur he strictly performed very much the same routine of boat service and watch keeping as any other mid shipman, a portion of each day only being allotted by the particular orders of Lord Hood, to' the ac quisition of theoretical knowledge and the general improvement of his education. This task was. su perintended by Captain Knight, who was Lord. Hood's flag captain. On the arrival of the Barfleur at Port Royal, in Feb., 1783, the Prince being then in his eighteenth year, the first recorded marks of public attention to the midshipman in his princely character were paid. During the stay of the Barfleur at Jamaica his Royal Highness was treated with every mark of respect- and distinction by all ranks of people. The inhabitants presented a suitable address, and a ca valry corps was expressly raised under the denomi nation of " Prince William Henry's Regiment," by the merchants and planters, for the purpose of at tending him while he remained on the island. After the termination of hostilities Lord Hood permitted his Royal Hi g h ness to v i s i t Cape Francois and the Havannah, embarking on board the Bloodhound for that purpose. He was received at Cape Francois with the honours due to his exalted rank, and 6,000 French and Spanish troops lined the streets on his way to the governor's house. He was made the happy instrument of releasing from death several British subjects and other persons who had been concerned in a revolt at Natchez, the prisoners having been released in honour of his royal high ness's visit. The Barfleur returned to England in June, 1783, the Prince having been upwards of two years out of England. The subsequent career of our . late beloved Sailor King is foreign to our present object, which is to show that for the first four or five years of his professional life he was under the restraints of the service, and employed during that time under the strictest and best officers who ever hoisted flag or pendant. Until he had attained a state of manhood, he was subject to the same coer cion as other well-bred youngofficcrs, and he is said to have entered heart and soul into the performance of his professional duties. The contrast between the training of the royal midshipman in 1779-84 and 1858-59 is very great. At the outset Prince Alfred was carefully and ably instructed. He passed his preliminary examination well, evincing on the occasion much natural ability, highly cultivated. He embarked on board a fine frigate, under one of the steadiest and best officers in the service ; but, instead of going abroad, out of the way of foreign courts, he was sent first to Co runna, where he was feted and escorted by generals and etairtiers ; from thence, to Lisbon, where royal courtesies aw aited him; thence to Gibraltar,Tangiers, and Malta. Wherever else theEuryalus may anchor similar displays await upon a lad, who will not complete his 15th year until next August. Is it at all probable that such Jeasting and gay goings-on will assist the acquisition of nautical knowledge, or strengthen the authority of those who are account able to her Majesty for the professior 11 education and discipline of the royal cadet ? We presumed, in November last, to mggest that the Euryalus should in despatched to the other hemisphere, where dinners, balls; and routs would be out of the question. We repeat that advice, and trust that, ere it is too late, some such plan will be acted upon. We look upon the young Prince as " the Hope of the Navy." To the prestige which he, if well indoctrinated, will establish we rely for the restoration of that glorious branch of the service—the navy—to its once proud position ; and we, consequently, watch his steps with a de• gree of painful anxiety which may prompt our venturing on tender ground. The training of Prince William Henry was the admiration of all nations. The Admiral Don Juan de Langara, who commanded the Spanish squadron dispersed and captured by the fleet under Rodney, in which his Royal Highness was serving, is re ported to have said—" Well does Great - Britain merit the empire of the seas, when the humblest stations in the navy arc supported by princes of the blood Royal !". The observation, it is well known, has been cherished as one of the most elegant tri butes ever paid to British Royalty. Let us hope to find some such pleasing compliment elicited by the Royal cadet who now graces the British navy. THIS DAI'S SHIPPING.

A strong opposition was raised i on the . 1, of the inhabitants to the application, on the ground t t the site of the proposed magazine was so conti guous to the town, as to render such a building dangerous to the re idents, and also that it was too neara Government floating agazine kept in the river.
