There was yesterday no abatement or improve ment in the disturbances attending the celebration of public worship at the parish church of St. George's-in -the-East. The morning service, as usual, was got through in comparative quiet, but the evening service was one scene of interruption. from beginning to end. In the morning, prayers were read by the rector, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Dove, who took his text from the sixth and two fol lowing verses of the sixth chapter of the book of the prophet Micah. There was considerable cough ing, and manifestations of dissatisfaction during some portion of the Litany, and the reading of the second and ninth commandments ; While there was the usual effort on the part of those who prefer say ing the service to those who are in the habit of singing it, and which in some cases, when the say ing portion of the congregation mustered strong, made the service appear a sad medley of confusion. On the previous Sunday evening many parties who were present went home under the impression that the gas on that occasion had been put out in tentionally by some enemy of the Lector's and his system, and numbers of those who were present last night no doubt came to ascertain whether the trick would be repeated. But however that might be, by half-past six o'clock there was an immense crowd in Cannon-street, opposite the church, waiting for the gates being opened. These were opened at twenty minutes to seven o'clock, when the crowd rushed eagerly into the church, which in the course of a few minutes became densely crowded. The appearance of the front rank of the choristers emerg ing from the vestry was the signal for a burst of hisses, mingled with shouts and coughing, which continued unti! the choristers had taken their places within the altar railings in the apse, and the rector and Mr. liOve had ascended' nto the:reading-desks. The prayers were read by the rector, and the lessons by Mr. Dove, amid a continued scene of interrup tion. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Seymour Walpole, whose appearance in the pulpit was hailed with hissing and uproar; which pre vented the greater portion of the congregation from hearing the opening of it. The rev, gentleman selected as his text the 47th verse of the 32d chap ter of Deuteronomy, " For it is not a vain thing for you, because it is your life ?" from which he preached despite the interruptions with which he was assailed a most eloquent and interesting sermon. He pointed out the expression " your life" to mean religion— the Gospel, which was the solace to a man's con science and feelings, in whatever situation of diffi culty, or danger, or sorrow, or suffering he might be placed. He went on to show that it was their solace in the hour of death ; but his eloquent and fervent appeals were only met by hisses and ribald cheers, and the more earnestly he enforced them the louder did these disgraceful manifestations become, and the rev, gentleman, after combating these dis cordant elements for half an hour, descended from the pulpit as he entered it, amid a regular round of hissing. A hymn having been sung, the services concluded amid much noise and uproar, and the church was cleared in about 20 minutes after. THE LATE BARON .BRUC.K. VIENNA, APRIL 25. In this country the body of every person who dies suddenly, or within 24 hours from the time of the outbreak of the malady, is subjected to official examination and, in accordance with this regulation, instructions were yesterday given to Dr. Roki tansky, a renewed professor of pathological ana tomy at the University of Vienna, and to Dr. Stuhl berger, the Stadt-Physikus (medical man by ap pointment to the city), to open the corpse of Baron Bruck, and to make known to the Imperial autho rities the immediate cause of his decease. Some of the friends of the late Minister yesterday evening stated that his family had insisted on a post mortem examination, "in order to prove to the Viennese the groundlessness of their suspicions," but there is reason to believe that the Emperor gave positive orders that the cause of the death of the man who so long enjoyed his confidence should be strictly inquired into. Drs. Rokitansky and Stuhlberger began their inquest at ten o'clock this morning, in order to ascertain whether Baron Bruck died a natural death, or whether he poisoned himself during the night of Sunday last. It is now generally related in the city that there is a long incised wound on the neck of the deceased, but persons who are frequently in the company of the widow and her family profess to know nothing of this. Yesterday Baron von Ransonnet, the Direc tor of the Chancellery of the Council of Ministers, was twice in the palace in which is the Ministry of Finances, and he is said to have demanded and taken away with him the letter written by the Emperor to Baron Bruck on Sunday last. It is thought likely that the papers of the late Mini ster have been seized, as the high authorities are very desirous to find out what was the nature of his connection with the Trieste merchants who are now in custody. Among the absurd rumours which are in circulation, is one to the effect that Baron Bruck, while Minister of Finance, invested 15,000,000f1. (£1,500,000) in British Government and Bank Stock. About four years ago Von Bruck purchased an estate in Croatia which was valued at 220,0001, and his heirs are likely to find that he was then able to pay down no more than two thirds of that sum. Information has just been given me that the mortal remains of the unfortunate statesman have already been removed from the apartments which he inhabited in the palace built by the celebrated Prince Eugene of Savoy, in which are the bureau of the Ministry of Finance, to the Calvinist Church in the Dorothea Gasse. The funeral will take place at 3 o'clock to-morrow. To tho great astonishment of the public neither the dismissal of Baron Bruck nor his sudden death pro duced any great impression on the money-market. In fact thei e was a slight improvement on 'Change yesterday. The Emperor left Vienna on Monday, just as Baron Bruck was breathing his last. His Majesty, who was on his way to the Styrian frontier to shoot capercailsie, must have received informa tion of what had occurred when he quitted the rail way carriage at the station at Payerbach. It was yesterday evening related that one of the four gentlemen under examination on the charge of having defrauded the State had hanged himself, but the report is unfounded. 'The Viennese now talk over-much of suicide, and it would not at all surprise me if the examples recently given by meu of rank and note found imitators in inferior circles. There are moral as well as physical epidemics. The result of the post modem examination has not yet been announced. This magnificent building, one of the most beau tiful- specimens of architecture which graces out t0,.41, has been completely desfroyed by a fire which broke out yesterday morning, and in the course of a few hours left little more standing than the outside walls. Shortly before one o'clock a police officer, on duty at the Post-office, observed flames issuing from a window in the top-story, and immediately: ran across to give the alarm to the superintendent. He had, however, been anticipated by the night porter, who had informed Mr. Williams of the fire, and a hose within the building was at once got into play. The alarm was promptly conveyed to the vari ous fire stations, and in a comparatively short space of time the constable, Hardaere (384), arrived with the reel from the Salthouse Dock, followed soon afterwards by Mr. Hewitt, with the engines and brigade from the central station, by the West of England fire brigade, and the reels from Seel street and Essex street. But before even this short time had elapsed the flames had spread so rapidly that it was evident no human exertions could save the building from total destruction. The principal• efforts were then directed to the saving of life.. In all there were in the institution when the flre broke out upwards of 120 inmates, most of whom had re-' tired to the dormitories, and were in imminent dan ger. They appeared at the windows of the upper stories, and, so far us can at present be ascertained, were all rescued ; but, while this is hoped to be true, it is feared that many are buried amidst the-ruins. By means of about 12 engines and between 20 and 30 hose, an immense volume of 'water intivoureib upon the burning pile, but, notwithstanding this,' the flames extended with- great rapidity, until at length the whole of the immense building was in flames. Constable Hardacre, the man who was first upon the scene, had ascended a tall ladder for the purpose of passing a hose into the building, when the ladder upon which he re s t e d b ro k e , an d he fell with great violence to the ground. He was at once conveyed to th 3 Southern Hospital, where he died soon after his arrival. The exertions of the fire brigade were continued without intermission, but with very little success. About two o'clock, Mr. Hamner, the secretary, determined to make an attempt to save the books and money in the seamen's bank, and employed several men for this purpose. One of them entered the building in spite of the warning of Mr. Superintendent Hewitt and others, and while he was inside, the upper roof fell, and brought with it every floor beneath, and buried the - poor fellow beneath. A number of men volunteered their assistance to extricate the man, and a jack-screw, which the men of her Majesty's ship Hastings had brought with them, was em ploped to raise the debris ; but this, after several hours had elapsed, not being successful, Mr. Divi sional Superintendent Quick sent for four more screw-jacks, by means of whicu the poor fellow was extricated, after being under the ruins for four hours. The ultimate success of the praiseworthy exertions to rescue the sufferer from his dreadful position, was received with a cheer so general and spontaneous, that its effect was most thrilling. Long before this the fire had exhausted itself, and by about four o'clock had as it were gone out for the want of fuel. Mr. Hewitt was heard to say that in his experience of thirty years he had never beheld such a scene as that which he witnessed at this fire, and that he had never known a conflagration to spread so rapidly as it did on this occasion. There is one circumstance which should not be omitted on this occasion—the presence of Capt. Mends, with a body of 15 men, belonging to her Majesty's ship Hastings, whose assistance was most valuable. The Mayor, Mr. F. Clint (chairman of the Watch Committee), Major Greig, Divisional Superintendents Quick and Ride, Superintendents Sibbald and Haymes, Inspectors Kelsine, Valentine, Dodd, Moore, Mad docks, Southwell, and Parkins, and a large body of police were present during the fire, and subse quently Mr. T. S. Raffles, stipendiary magistrate, and Messrs. J. Aikin, Johnson, S. It. Graves, Capt. Ain ley, and other officials of the institution, visited the scene. During the whole of yesterday immense crowds assembled in front of the ruins, which were still smouldering, and upon which the firemen still poured a large quantity of water. The origin of the fire is, as usual, involve in mystery, but there is no way of accounting for the rapid spread of the flames but by:supposing that there was an explosion of gas. It is feared that there are many buried in the ruins, and it was said that the roll was called over yesterday, and many found to be missing ; but upon this, as upon all other subjects connected with the melancholy affair, those who have the power to afford information are evidently averse to doing so, and this reluctance was exhibited especially by one gentleman who holds an honorary position in con nection with the institution, and to whom our re porter applied yesterday. 4, circumstance adding much to the feeling of regret at the destruction of this magnificent build ing is that it was only insured to about a third of its value. The cost of its erection was £30,000, and the amount for which it is insured £lO,OOO. The interior fittings were insured for £3,000. The foundation stone of the Sailors' Home was laid in July, 1846, by Prince Albert, who contributed a handsome sum towards its erection. Hardacre, the man who lost his life in the dia. charge of his duty, had been in the force many years, and bore an excellent character. He has left a wife and six children, to which another is likely soon to be added. It is hoped that they will not.be neglected by the public, but that they will be pro vided for in such a way as to encourage those who have a task so dangerous to fulfil to persevere in the performance of their duty. We shall be glad , to receive subscriptions on their behalf.—Liverpool Albion of Monday. EXECUTION OF GENERAL ORTEGA. The Dkrio of Barcelona publishes the following particulars of the execution of General Ortega, which took place, as already stated, at Tortosa on the 18th : " On the previous day the general was put ' in chapel,' according to the Spanish custom. He im mediately proceeded with the utmost composure to make his will, and settled all his family affairs even to the minutest details. Soon after a sergeant came for the purpose of searching his person. This proceeding affected him deeply, and he exclaimed, This was wanting to complete my humiliation ! a sergeant search a general !—am I then capable of committing suicide as they apprehend P Certainly not; I shall die like a Christian !' He then took a medal of the Holy Virgin, which he wore suspended from his neck by a gold chain, and charged his cousin, Don Ramon Blasser, to deliver it to his mother. His confessor, the Canon Don Benito Sanz, afterwards came and had a long conversation with him. At six o'clock on the morning of the 18th, he took the sacrament, and some time after had a cup of chocolate, and received successively a missionary and a friend of his, a physician, both of whom were astonished at his self-possession and firmness. Having been informed about 10 o'clock that his execution would take place at three in the afternoon, he merely remarked, ''That is very late.' Then he asked for a basin of soup and ate it with good appetite. At a quarter to three he was in formed that his time had come. He immediately rose, saying, ' I am at your orders, gentlemen,' drew his loose coat round him, and took his place in the centre of the guard. As he passed the postern of the castle he took off his coat, and requested that it might be given to his aide-de-camp Moreno. On hearing the roll of the drums, he exclaimed, ' My God ! you who were innocent also suffered these humiliating preparations; it is just that I, who am guilty, should undergo them too.' His voice was unfaltering, and his step firm. On entering the middle of the square formed by the troops, he noticed the people crowding round, and said, ' The Lord also allowed the people to be present at his execution.' He knelt under the flag to hear his sentence read. On being conducted to the fat al spot, he inquired 'How must 1 place myself?" Facing them,' was the reply; at the same instant a handkerchief was put over his eyes, and he knelt down. An explosion was heard, and the general was no more." HARBINGERS OF SPRlNG.—Numbers of swallows were seen in this neighbourhood on Thursday last, but they have appeared Mat home during the snow bla.sts with which we have been visited since that time. The "wandering voice" of the cuckoo was heard on Sunday in the vicinity of Dinton—somewhat before the time it would appear.— Wiltshire Mirror. TIIE EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANC E.—On Thursday the ex-Queen of the French, their Royal High nesses the Duke de Nemours, the Prince:de Joinville, also the Duke de Montpensier, now sojourning in this country, and the other members of the royal family, assembled at Orleans house, Twickenham, where the Duke and Duchess d'Avrnale gave a dijcuncr in celebration of the seventy ninth birthday of the ex-Queen. In addition to the mem bers of the royal family, their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, and a few intimate friends of the family assembled. In the evening the whole of the royal family congregated at Claremont to le pass the emipg Get ~anti~le~ the Forte, 51, screw steamer, Capt., E. Tur nour, the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir ‘H..lieppell, K.C.13., left .Spithead on Saturday, under all plain sail, by the Needles passage, foe the Gape of Good Hope, calling in Plymouth, Sound. The screw steam frigate Melpomene, 51, Capt. C. S. Ewart, slipped her moorings in Hamoaze on Friday, and was towed to Keyham, and placed in the basin, preparatory to her going into dock to .have her bottom cleaned and overhauled ; she was subsequently placed in No. 3 dock, and was ap pointed to be taken cut again tc•day. The iron screw steam transport New Pclton, having discharged her cargo of machinery at Key ham steamyard, left Hamoaze on Thursday to go into the Sound, and in doing so ran on the bridge of rocks between St. Nicholas and Mount Edg cumbe; she, however, backed off at night, and sailed on Friday morning for her destination. The gunboat Proeris was taken outside Plymouth Breakwater on Friday to try her machinery, and returned to Hamoaze. The War Department screw steamer Lord Pan mure was taken alongside the Royal William Vic tualling-yard on Friday, to ship stores saved from the stranded transport Havering. The screw steamship Donegal, 101, Captain H. Broadhead, in Plymouth Sound, took her powder in on Friday, The screw steamship Howe, 121, was hauled un der the crane in the north basin, Keyham, on Fri day, to receive her boilers and machinery. The screw steamship Desperate, 8, at Plymouth, is to be prepared for the first-class steam reserve, vice Conflict, out of condition. Her Majesty's screw steamships Trafalgar, 90, Capt. Edward G. Fanshawe, and Centurion, 80, Capt. Henry D. Rogers, C. 13,, with the screw steam frigate Diadem, 32, Capt. James H. Cockburn, from Lisbon, April 16, arrived at Plymouth Sound yes terday morning. The paddlewheel steamvessel Pluto, 4, Lieut. and Commander Cortland H. Simp son, left April 12 for England. Two Dutch ships of-war were left at anchor in the Tagus. Light winds from N.W. and very fine weather were ex perienced on the passage home. The men and boys belonging to the guardship of ordinary Royal Adelaide, in Hamoaze, were exer cised at the great guns on Friday, firing with blank cartridges. Her crew will be paid down to-morrow. The order for the detachment of Marines serving on board her Majesty's ship Edgar to be relieved by a detachment under Capt. Farrant, from the Ports mouth Division, has been countermanded and fresh orders have been issued, that the Edgar's detach ment shall be relieved by a detachment from the Plymouth Division, under the command of Captain Mansell, First Lieut. Woodford, and Second Lieut. Haseltine, of the Portsmouth Division, to join the detachment for service on board the Edgar. First Lieut. Carlyon, of the Portsmouth Division, is ordered to proceed to Plymouth for embareation. Letters received from Canton by the last mail state that Colonel March, in command of 400 ma rines of the battalion, had proceeded to the north ward in her Majesty's troopship Assistance. The remainder of the marines were employed in Canton as police, &c., but would be relieved in those duties by some of the native troops on their arrival from India, and would then follow their comrades to the north in her Majesty's troopship Adventure. A naval brigade, to which her Majesty's ship Irn perieuse would contribute 300 men, was being formed for service ashore. A native military train, with European commissioned and non-commissioned officers, was also in course of formation. The Russian steam fript , .. Askold, Capt. Oun kovoski, anchored in the Solent on Friday from Plymouth, on her way to Cronstadt, for the purpose of enabling her officers to visit the Great Eastern steamship, in Southampton Water. She sailed again for Cronstadt on Saturday, saluting the au thorities as she passed through Spithead. The usual weekly batch of shipwrights and arti ficers were on Saturday discharged from Woolwich Dockyard, according to Admiralty instructions, for the gradual diminution of the expenditure of that branch of her Majesty's service. A large number of that class of men are consequently out of employ ment. Some of those previously dismissed proceeded to Cherbourg in quest of occupation, and have writ ten to their late comrades informing them of their having readily succeeded in obtaining a good rate of pay, and advising them to join without delay, but the men generally express a great disinclina tion to the service of a foreign Government, not withstanding the slight prospects which encourage them to hope for employment in the yards of merchant shipbuilders and contractors at the pre sent season at home. One hundred and fifty labourers were on Saturday discharged from the Royal gun factories, in consequence of the large number employed, considerably exceeding 3,000, being greater than the limits of the present establishment can profitably accommodate. A gang of about 500 smiths and hammermen have entered on alternate night and day work, so that the steam machinery is incessantly in operation. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—E. 1). Herbert, paymaster, additional, to the impregnable ; H. W. Arlidge, paymaster, additional, to the Wellesley ; C. L.

The Council being anxious that the Volunteers should compete as far as possible on equal terms, have decided that the long Enfield, with which the majority of the Volunteers are now armed, shall be the description of rifle with which, for the sake of uniformity in shooting, these prizes shall be contended for. The Secretary of State for War has, at the request of the Council, kindly consented to provide a suffi cient number of the best and latest manufactured long Enfielde for the use of such Volunteers as may have been selected by their respective corps to compete for the above prizes, and who may not be provided with a rifle of the said description. These rifles will, on application to the com manding officers, be delivered by the Association one month before the meeting in July for the use of such competitors, and all rifles thus lent must be returned to the Association at the close of the meeting. (4.) These prizes have been kindly given to the Associa tion by Mr. Gye, in commemoration of the Volunteer Ball, which took place on the 7th of March last.

As much timo as is possible will be given for practice. Before specifying the description of rifle with which the gold medal of the Association and chief prize shall be competed for, a trial of different small-bore arms has been advertised to take place, in order to ascertain which is the best. The following notice appeared in the Times of the 18th of April, 1860 :—" The Council of the National Rifle Association having resolved that the gold medal and chief prize of the Association shall be shot for by the Volun teers at the National Rifle Association meeting in July next, with a small-bore rifle, at ranges at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards, are anxious that the competitors should con tend, as far as possible, on equal term s .
