On Sa.urday last Buccaneer went a rattling utile and a half gallop, upon the strength of which he was backed on the Monday following for alarge amount by Lord Pertsmouth's friends and the public, the latter being kept well "posted" concerning the horse's movements by the " touts" which now infest his retired training quarters on Lichfield Down ; though, as will be seen hereafter, reliance is not at all times to be placed on the bulletins of these worthies. On Sunday and Monday Buccaneer did his work as usual, but on the last named day broke out in blotches all over, which irri tated his back to such an extent that he could scarcely bear the saddle on; consequently, on Monday he merely walked, and the humour extending itself, accompanied by fever, it was considered hopeless to proceed with his preparation for the Two Thousand; andson Lord Portsmouth's arrival from Newmarket, he instantly wrote to Admiral Rous to strike him out of that race. On Thursday the horse had a dose of physic. Having walked only on Tuesday, the " touts," of course, took it for granted that there was " something up ;" and in the afternoon of that day a tele gram was received at Newmarket conveying the startling information that Buccaneer had been very riotous at exer cise, and after throwing his boy had run away for two or three miles, jumped three or four hedges in his progress, and broken down I This canard, as may be sup posed, was considerably magnified in its circulation, and one very sagacious individual volunteered his reason for crediting the truth of the report, that he knew, for a fact, that the horse had carried a man in his mouth at least three yards a short time previously 1 ! Others, unable to swallow the foregoing " crammer," pretended, however, to be equally well informed (F) of the real cause of the opposi tion to Buccaneer, which they attributed to his " crooked suspicious legs" having given way at last ; but this "shave," like the foregoing, must be received for as much as it is worth. It' is not for us to volunteer a defence of Lord Portsmouth in this unforeseen misfortune—his lord ship's station in society, high feeling, and irreproachable character place him beyond unjust suspicion.—Bell's Life. The Sunday Times says :—" We would not like to place upon paper all the hard words which were uttered respect ing the knocking out of Buccanneer for the Two Thousand. Bookmakers hod nothing to do with the proceeding ; the gentlemen—save the mark I—were the sole operators, and disgust will only allow us to record the fact. Horses as instruments of gaming I Why, the Eldest needy trainer of race horses would not have dared tosdopt the proceed ings of the Earl of Portsmouth." The Sporting Life says :—" The proceedings in connec tion with this horse at Newmarket were perfectly disgrace• ful, and unless Lord Portsmouth, whose name should dis arm even suspicion, makes some public explanation, we insist that the Jockey Club aro bound to investigate the matter, and deal with it as its serious and disreputable as pect deserv. s. For two days at least it was quite clear that something improper was being done with the horse in the market, and yet he was not scratched until the last guinea had been got out of him, and all hopes of further milking' had vanished. Last year an uproar was made about the Ralpho business, but the present is a case of sueh question able features, that it demands a public inquiry and the strictest reprehension on the part of the authorities. Lord Portsmouth can doubtless clear himself of all imputations, and the sooner he does so the better for his character as an uaright nobleman, and the better for the interests of the In this country we acknowledge no distinctions, and de mand from peers of the realm the same explanations we require from the commoner, when an injury has been in flicted on the public interests." ships when sailing from a port they may be appre hended, or they may voluntarily join a flag or ar other ship at any port. Their names, together witu All charges against them as stragglers and deserters, are to be entered on the books of such ship, and they are to be. borne only for victuals, and to wait a pass• age to their own ship. The ratings of petty officers, in such cases will be suspended, and they are never to be entered on board such flag or other ship with any higher rating than that of A. 8., and they are not to be discharged as part complement to any other than their proper ships without express authority from the Admiralty. On reaching their proper ships they will be received as part complement in any rating that may be open at the disceetion of the captain, but the ' R. q.' will never be removed, nor will arrears of pay be allowed, excepting in conse quence of strong explanations from the captain to their lordships." The crews of the ships at Spithead and in the har bour were last night granted 48 hours' leave, in ac cordance with the Admiralty circular, the chief points of which we have given above. It is impos sible to say whether the Edgar's crew have received any leave with the rest of the ships' crews, for so much mystery is observed with respect to this ship that no extent of reliable information can be ob tained. It is, however, certain that, from whatever cause arose the late disturbance on board, it was much more serious than has yet been made public. Rear-Admiral the Hon. F. T. Pelham has visited the fleet at Spithead, and is in possession of the whole facts in connection with the matter. The gallant Rear-Admiral returned to town from Ports mouth last evening. It is stated that the Marines on board the Edgar are to be replaced by a draught from head-quarters. The hired transports Ellen, Secret, and Sarah, laden with war stores for Gibraltar and :Malta, yes terday sailed from Woolwich for their destination. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—J. Retallick, Paymaster, to the Meander; W. K. Harriott, Assistant-Paymaster (additional), to the Impregnable ; and D. L.

Tulloch, Royal carriage department; Mr. Anderson, Royal gun 'factories ; Captain Boxer, Royal laboratory Capt. Gordon, principal militaiy storekeeper; and the officials of the establishment generally. A spe cial order of admission had been transmitted to the heads of departments for their information, in the name of Count Villamanriqae and three friends. Having inspected the entire establishment of the Arsenal, which occupied five hours, including a pro longed visit to the gun factory, they accompanied Colonel Tulloch to his official quarters, and partook of luncheon, and left the Arsenal at 4 o'clock on their return to London. Major-General Bloomfield, Inspector-General of Artillery; and his aide-de-camp, Major Teesdale, C. 8., are expected to visit the Channel Islands ; next week. Surg.-Major T. P.

Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Richard Dundas, one of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and Rear-Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker, Controller of the Navy, yesterday visited Woolwich Dqckyard, and made an inspection of the armament and t tings of the new screw steam schooner Ranger, in readiness for the pennant. The Ranger is the first of that class of ships, and is fitted on a peculiar method adapted for warm climates, so as to insure the greatest amount of air and ventilation. After their lordships' inspection of the Ranger, having been joined by Capt. the Hon. A. Cochrane, they pro ceeded to the factory, and examined the new im proved ships' boiler manufactured from the designs of the Earl of Dundonald. They afterwards went on board the steam corvette Bristol, in a former state of construction, visited the rigging loft, rope walk, and various parts of the yard, and finally re paired to the testing-house, and witnessed a trial of the superiority of Mr. Lennox's new metal-blocks for ships' rigging, which were tested against the old Admiralty wooden blocks hitherto in use. A 43-- inch rope was used in the trial, and the strain hav ing arrived at 25.1 tons, the Admiralty block gave way, while the metal one on being examined ap peared to have suffered no injury. Their lordships thereupon terminated their visit and returned to London. The Algiers, 91, screw, Capt. Gco. D. O'Callag han, has sent down her topgallant masts, topsail, and lower yards, and the crew on board are em ployed in over-hauling her rigging, &c. One of those cases which are now often witnessed in our naval ports, occurred at Portsmouth yesterday, when one of the Algiers' crew, a " bounty" man, was discharged from the ship for " incompetency" amid the derision of the crew. The Algiers is a well•manned ship. The Howe, 121, was towed on Thursday from the sheer hulk in Hamoaze into the basin at Keyham Steam-yard, preparatory co ppered, &c. to her being docked and The crew of the screw steamship Nile, 90, Capt.

A leog,"'''''inaY- Admiralty circular was read yester day on board the different ships at Spithead and in Portsmouth harbour, the main points of which are as follows :-- " On ordinary occasions no officer or man is to be granted leave beyond 48 hours. The officers and crews of ships refitting may be granted a period of four days' leave at the discretion of the Comman der-in-Chief. " On a ship arriving in England from a foreign station officers are, and stewards may be, per mitted to land to purchase any , necessary refresh ments during the day, but are not to sleep out of the ship.

E S PAP - An inquiry took place yesterday in Clement's Inn Hall, before S. Warren, Esq., one of the Masters in Lunacy, and a special jury, into the state of mind of a. gentleman - of considerable property, named William Phelips, and to decide whether he was competent to manage his estate and affairs at the present time. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., Mr. G. J. Philli more, Q.C., and Mr. Kingdon, appeared in support of the commission. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Henry James represented the alleged lunatic. Mr. Chambers, in opening the case to the jury, ,said that this was a proceeding instituted upon the petition of Mrs. Ellen Harriet Phelips, the wife of the gentleman whose condition of mind was the subject of the inquiry ; and he was afraid that when they had heard the evidence he should have to lay before them, that they would be compelled to come to the conclusion that he was of unsound mind and quite incompetent on that account to manage his affairs. Mr. Phelips, he said, was a young man, a member of a very old and distinguished family in Somersetshire, where he possessed an estate called Montacute, and ho had an income of about £4,000 a-year. He was married in 1645, and he and his wife lived most happily together down to the period when his mind became affected, and in deed he believed that at the present moment Mr. Phelips entertained the most affectionate feelings towards his wife, and these proceedings would never have been instituted if that lady had not felt that they were actually necessary, and she even then adopted them with the greatest possible re gret. Two children were the issue of the marriage, a boy and a girl, and it appeared that the first indi cation exhibited by Mr. Phelips of any aberration of intellect was after the birth of the latter, when he said he believed she was not his child, there not being the slightest foundation for such a suggestion. This suspicion seemed at length to have worn off, but in 1853 the state of his mind was such and he exhibited so many extraordinary delusions that it became necessary to call in the assistance of Dr. Sutherland, and by his advice was removed to the country, and his condition improved, and he went on pretty well until last year, when it became evident that the mind of the unfortunate gentle man was seriously impaired, and that he was the victim of many extraordinary delusions. One of these delusions was that persons were constantly conversing with him by means of blow pipes or trumpets, and that persons over his head were jumping on the floor with great force, and that their object was to prevent him from getting any rest. He was also under the impression that as he walked along the street persons made offensive ob servations respecting him, and insinuated that he was not of good family, and also that he was a mad man, and he said that this frequently happened when he was walking in the Park. He was so impressed with the truth of these matters that he wrote long statements to the Lord Chancellor and the Commissioners of Lunacy, in which he gave a detailed account of all the annoyances to which he was subjected, and insisted upon an inquiry ; and at length it appeared that he refused to pay the labourers or tradesmen who had claims:upon him at his estate until the matter was cleared up, and he wrote a letter to that effect to his steward, and at the same time said that he wished him to give in formation of all the facts to the editor of the Yeovil newspaper, near which town his estate was situated, in order that they might be made public.. The learned counsel then read portions of the letters of Mr. Phelips to the Lord Chancellor, the Lunacy Com missioners, and other persons, which were of the most extraordinary character. They contained a minute detail by the unfortunate gentleman of the continual trumpetings to which his cars were subjected, and he also represented that by means of a blow pipe the most indecent and offen sive expressions werc made to him, and that the whole of the conspiticy to which he was a victim assumed the form of a dream, in, which he was inade to play the part of the madman, and the other ,actors were' the doctor and the people about him. Mr Chambers then stated some other facts connected with the inquiry, and the following evidence was adduced : Mr. Thomas Martin, chief clerk to the Commis sioners of Lunacy, produced two letters written by the alleged lunatic to the Commissioners on the 14th September and the sth October, 1859. A letter written to the Lord Chancellor was also pro duced. They were the same referred to in the opening, and they were read at length. Dr. Johir Alexander Sutherland deposed that he was consulting physician to St. Luke's Hospital, and he had had great experience in maladies of this description. He first saw Mr. Phelips at an hotel in Leicester-square, in October, 1853, and he then told him that there was a conspiracy against him, at the bottom of which was Mrs. Phelips's maid:; that he had heard the servants talk about it. In consequence of what witness heard and Observed at this time, he signed a certificate of insanity on the 24th of October, 1853. On the following day witness had a consultation with Dr. Salnaey; and it was arranged that Mr. Phelips should be placed in a private lodging in St. John's-wood, and he was attended upon by a man named Allen. At this period there was great prostration of the powers of both mind and body, and Mr. Phelips told him that he only dosed and never had sound sleep ! and he said that people on the tops of the omnibuses made remarks about him as they passed his house: His condition after this gra. dually improved, and he appeared to be satisfied that he had been labouring under delusions. Mr. Phelips told him that he heard noises continually, and that they were like the vibration of a harp string, or the bursting of a shell close to the ear, and he also said that he only heard these noises when he was in a recumbent position. At Midsum mer, 1854, be was considerably recovered, and went to Portsmouth and Weymouth. He returned to London in November, and witness saw him shortly afterwards, and he then told him that he had seen some writing on the wall at Weymouth that re ferred to him. He gave him an explanation of what the writing was, but he said he believed it was written by the lady's maid and a barber who lived at Weymouth. Witness tried hard to induce the patient to go to his country mansion at Monta cute, and he positively refused to do so until what he called " the mystery" was cleared up. He after wards said that. if witness would give him an assur ance that the mystery proceeded from disease, he would think no more about it. This was in 1856, and witness gave him the assurance he required, and he did not hear of any more delusions until 1859. Witness was at this time obliged to leave London from illness, and Mr. Phelips was placed under the charge of Dr. Blandford, his assistant. Wit ness again saw Mr. Phelips in Nov. 1859, and in December he began to talk about the noises he heard. He said they were sometimes voices, some times whistling, and sometimes like blowing down a tube. He also said that he was determined not to sign any more cheques until he was informed of the cause of the change in his medical treatment; and he also said that Dr. Blandford was the cause of the blowing and the noise that took place over h i s h ea d. He likewise said he supposed this was the asylum treatment, and that the blowers over his head were in connexion with the chief office, and that messages were blown from the chief office down the tube, and that the messages were some times complimentary, sometimes chaffing, and some times grossly indecent, and that he was determined to make the matter public, in order that it mi g ht be put down, and that it would form the grounds for a bill which was, to be brought into the House of Commons. When Mr. Phelips made these state ments to him, he appeared to think that he was narrating actual facts. On the 26th of March, after the letter had been written to the Lord Chan cellor, he again conversed with Mr. Phelips upon the subject, and he repeated the same statements as to the noises, and said that in September he had complained to Mr. Bingham, the magistrate at Marlborough-street, and that this so3n put a stop to the whistling. Mr. Phelips also told him that while he was walking in the GI, can ;Park, persons called out, ".de is mad, he is mad. Witness saw Mr. Phelips on the previous day, and he found that he was still labouring under similar delusit ns. 1)r. Sutherland then proceeded to narrate the other de lusions entertained by Mr. Phelips, ono of which v , In answer to questions put by the learned Com missioner Dr. Sutherland said, that Mr. Phelips was perfectly aware of the nature of these proceedings, and was verymuch pleased that all the facts should be published in the newspapers, and he told him that he believed his case would create as much in terest as that of Mr. Ruck. Upon one occasion he said that the blowers and whistlers wend all bei examined, and. that Sergeant Ballantine would eross.examine them. (A laugh.) Cross-examined—Witness believed that if 31r. Phelips was examined at the present time he would exhibit the same delusiobs. Witness had heard that in 1853 he had a sun-stroke. This would affect the brain to some extent, but would not pro duce the malady he observed in Mr. Phelips. Wit ness did not believe that there was any organic disease of the brain in this case, and he did not consider it at all a hopeless case, and believed that the delusions might in time be removed. Dr. Blandford deposed that during the absence of Dr. Sutherland ho attended upon Mr. Phelips, and he confirmed the evidence given by that gen tleman with regard to his condition. He said that Mr. Phelips complained of noises all over the house of opening and shutting drawers and doors, and ho also said that he constantly heard the sound of persons blowing through trumpets and blow-pipes, and he suddenly quitted his lodging in Bolton-street, because he said he had been locked out. He was also constantly talking of going to law and getting damages, but he did not seem to clearly understand what sort of proceedings ho should adopt. Witness made inquiries, but could not ascertain that there was any foundation for the complaints made by Mr. Phelips. Sergeant Ballantiue here suggested that, after the positive evidence of Dr. Sutherland as to the present condition of the unfortunate gentleman, it might be the most convenient course that he should be sent for, and the Court and jury thus have an opportunity of examining him, and forming a con elusion as to his condition at the present time. He said he was only instructed to watch the evidence and see that the case of the petitioner was legally established, and he had no wish to occupy the time of the jury unnecessarily in the consideration of this painful matter. &The Commissioner and the jury expressed their opinion that this was the most advisable course, and the court was adjourned for a short period in order to procure the attendance of the alleged lunatic. Upon re-assembling, Mr. Phelips was introduced, in charge of a keeper. He is a rather tall man, of gentlemanly appearance, but with a very vacant expression of countenance. • The Commissioner invited him to take a seat by , his side, and after asking him one or two ques tions upon indifferent subjects, he slightly al luded to the noises and other annoyances to which the unfortunate gentleman represented him self to be subjected, and he at once, in the most ell-nest manner, entered into a description of them. He said he was unable to account for the noises that were made in the rooms over his head, except by the supposition that the doctors concealed some person there to annoy him, and that it was what they called subjecting him to strong medical treat ment, or a private commission of lunacy, the object of which was to prevent him from having any sleep at night, and thus by exhaasting him, give him the appearance of a madman. The jury, after the unfortunate gentleman had retired, said they considered it quite unnecessary to hear any further evidence, and they at once returned a verdict that he was at this time oT unsound mind, and incapable of managing his estate and affairs. ?, 0: . ; '/: (. : 41 ,_- Z''' ' ,.: _ was that he was dead, hi 41 .

The Bank return of yesterday evening-presents most singular features. The amount of notes in circulation, which was already beyond all ordinary precedent, shows a further increase of £1,600,000. The average total required by the public is between 19 and 20 millions, and they hold at this moment £23,467,000. Compared with the same period of the memorable year 1857, when the trade of the country had reached a degree of inflation never be fore known, the excess of notes now in , use is £3,715,000, or 19 per cent. No one, therefore, can complain of want of accommodation, The total, in fact, is such as was never attained except during the extraordinary time shortly after the gold dis coveries, when the Bank bullion touched its highest sum, and Consols were at 101 ex. dividend, and the rate of money 2 per cent. The cause of the move ment is still unexplained, or if an explanation be hinted, it is such as everyone must hope will prove unfounded. Looking only for a natural solution, the circumstances now witnessed can spring only from a single cause,—namely, a sudden and won derful augmentation of the business of the country. Supposing it to be a healthy augmentation such as can be carried on at a profit, notwithstanding the advance in discounts, there will be reason for uni versal satisfaction, no less at the prosperity of tha mercantile body, but also at the fact that capitalists share in it in fair proportion. Supposing it to be speculative or fictitious, then every one must hail the measures by which the evil is to be repressed. We know, therefore, that the advance in the rate is a great good, either as promoting a fair distribution of legitimate profits among traders and money dealers, or as a remedy for a dangerous condi tion. Here all reference to the matter might end, the commercial and banking community being left to exercise their own judgment as to whether this astounding growth of trade is healthy or unhealthy. But within these few hours a report has become current, which, but for the otherwise inexplicable character of what is going on, would seem altogether incredible. The public are aware that since the experience of 1857 the Bank have resolved to lend no encourageme nt to the vicious practice of rediscounting, and that, while opening theirlloors to the commercial community, they have for that reason excluded the discount brokers. Oa the inherent soundness of this policy there can be no dispute, and the leading members of the mercan tile world have regard ed it with strong approval. It is now asserted , however, that in their dissatis faction at its op eration the discount firms have re solved to draw from the Bank as many notes as possible, to lock these notes up, and thus to create a sense of scarcity and an inconvenient advance in the Bank terms that shall induce all business men to believe that they are suffering throu g h th e in ability of the discount houses to help them, and that this inability is caused by the exclusion of those houses from the Bank. An operation of this kind would be at once so ridiculous and so censurable that every considerate p erson w ill re f use credence to it, unless upon the authority of the discount houses themselves. Indeed, but fbr the circum stances that the report this evening is in universal circulation, that the alleged particulars are fully stated in commercial circulars, and that some in dividuals even affirm that the parties in questioll virtually admit its correctness , an y notice ofit would seem improper, and, even as matters stand, the reference to it must merely be for the sake of enabling an unequivocal contradiction to be obtained w ithout delay.—Times' (tty Article.
