Gentlemen,—l hasten to acknowledge the receipt of a requisition, Signed by_more than nine thousand electors of South Lancashire, in :filing me to become a candidate for the seat now vacant by the levation of Lord Franeis Egerton to the peerage. • To represent a constituency distinguished by its numbers, its in °UsirY, and its intelligence, and by its great influence on the cha 7acter and policy of the nation, I esteem one of the highest honours o 'which a man may attain. With feelings of the greatest pleasure I answer your call, and offer tflYself as a candidate for your suffrages. When I addressed you at the period of the election in the Spring of 1844, I avowed myself the strenuous advocate of perfect freedom of t rade, —I stated that my experience, as a merchant, enabled me to say that it was a vital question; that it involved the freedom, the pros- SeritY, and, probably, the peace of the country. . Since that time I have to the best of my ability constantly sup- Ported the principles I then avowed, and it will be a continual source of gratification to and to' reflect that I have given my humble exertions in aid of the Free-traders of England, by whose reasoning, energy, and prudence, the most eminent public men have been con verted, the interests of classes and the prejudices of party have been overthrown, and one of the greatest, the wisest, and I hope one of the Most enduring, reforms has been peacefully achieved. I am well aware that other important measures will shortly engage a Portion of that public attention which has lively been almost ex clusively concentrated upon the question of Free Trade. The state of Ireland is a cause of much anxiety ; Ireland must be wisely and humanely governed, and we must diligently seek and promptly apply the true remedies for the grievances of which that country has long complained. She must no longer with justice refer to the inequality of either her Parliamentary or her Municipal Franchise ; in fact, Ireland must be governed as if no sea were between us. Though much has been gained our labours will not terminate until the last fetter upon commerce and industry shall have been removed. Our opponents are powerful and fertile in resources, and it is possible that some of them may not be over scrupulous as to the means of arresting our progress. Vigilance, the price of freedom, continues to be the first duty of the Representatives of the People. However deficient I may be in ability, I pledge myself zealously and con stantly to advocate your interests, which are those of the country and of mankind. Above all things, we must promote the intellectual progress of the people, and so consolidate the triumphs of industry, as we widely diffuse the blessings of a sound Mutation. We shall thus, I hope, be enabled, at no distant period, whilst we Improve the condition of the people of England, to set an example to the world of the right use of power and wealth in the extension of freedom and the preser vation of peace. —I have the honour to be, your faithful servant, • WILLIAM BROWN'.

Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " Irnw we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health fnll threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, fer they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in theiriseveral healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfifily imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to eurselves, we secure the lik e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

NOTTINGHAM, TUESDAY.—The prosecution of the inquiry into the mysterious circumstances connected with the death of William Robinson, whose body was found in a mangled state on, Popplewick Forest, took place to-day, before Mr. C. Swann, coroner, and a respectable jury. The facts deve loped, though leading the jury to return a verdict different to what was anticipated, are not so satisfactory as could be wished, as the principal witness on the occasion, Henry Shepherd, who accompanied Robinson from Nottingham, has evidently been telling untruths, owing to some cause not easily to be defined. Perhaps he was too mnch in liquor to recollect what occurred, supposing he was entirely free from causing, by any means, the death of Robinson; and if not, his dissimulation renders the case still more mysterious. - After giving the history of his proceedings on Saturday, prior to meeting Robinson in Nottingham, and setting out with him for Mansfield, he related several particulars dif ferent to what he had stated on the previous day, and denied that any quarrel had taken place between himself and Robinson. Jane Widnall, wife of Robert Widnall, said, that about half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night last, she saw a waggon drawn by three horses going along on the Mansfield road, and heard a man say, " What are you reproaching me for ?" and another man replied, "I am not reproaching you;" and then the first man said, "If you aggravate me any more, I will get off the waggon and walk," and the man then got off the waggon and unfastened his dog, after which he got upon the waggon again, and they drove on. It was about half a mile before they got to Sherwood-lodge-farm. The principal witness affectiotr the verdict was Dr. thotnab of Nottingham, who s.id—l have this day examined the body with Mr. Frost, and externally we found the back part of the right ear considerably lacerated; there was also a bruise above and below the ear about the size of half-a-crown. On the left side of the face we ob served three bruises, varying from two to three inches in length; slight ecchymosis on the under surface of the left eye • there was a number of scratches on the forepart of the right shoulder, as likewise one or two bruises. The second id third fingers of the left band were broken at their first joints; the hands were clenched. On the right and left side of the abdomen I observed considerable ecchy mosis extending down each side of the fore and inner surface of the thighs to the peritoneum. There was a con tused grazed wound, three or four inches in length, on the forepart of the right thigh, running in an oblique direction, and commencing from about three or four inches from the bend of the body. He then described the internal injuries. The second, third, fourth, fixth, sixth, and seventh ribs, on the right side, were broken, and other parts affected. He thought the fracture of the ribs might be caused by' ome great force, produced either from before or behind the body ; a severe crush would produce such, a carriage-wheel would have the same effect; but there was no external mark on the surface of the body; they might be produced by being jammed between two boclies, such as being squeezed between the wheels and body of a waggon. There was a mark of a wheel on the right thigh and the right side of the belly. I am of opinion that some great pressure upon the abdominal viscera has caused death, and that the deceased has been run over. I do not think it possible the deceased could have walked from the spot where his jacket and whip were found to the spot where his body was afterwards found—a distance of upwards of half a mile. I should think the deceased would faint away immediately after receiving the injury, and that he could not have moved many yards. No other evidence could be brought directly to bear upon the case to show how the deceased received the injury on the face and the marks on his shoulders • and, although the evi dence was not conclusive, the jury, after a long consultation, returned as their verdict, "That the deceased has been acci dentally run over and killed by some carriage or carriages unknown passing along the highway." TUE CROPS.—PROSPECTS OF AN EARLY HARVEST.— The continued fine weather has caused a rapid change in the appearance of the wheats upon the light lands near this town. One farmer contemplates beginning to cut one of his fields of wheat in the course of a week, if the weather con-. tinues favourable. In several places fields of oats are reaped. The wheat crop promises to be an abundant one, but of bar ley and oats there is not expected to be an average crop. Beans are expected generally to be very deficient, and ih some places peas are not worth harvesting, while in other localities a half crop is expected.—lpswich Empress.

The foundation festival of this Institution, which has been established for the protection of British subjects from unjust imprisonment on the ground of mental derangement, and for the protection of all persons con fined as lunatics from cruel and improper restraint, was celebrated yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate.street, Luke James Hansard, Esq., in the chair. Shortly after six o'clock, about sixty gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner, which was placed on the table in the best style by those excellent caterers Messrs. Bathe and Breathe. Among the gentlemen - present we observed B. B. Cabbell, Esq: F.R.S.. &c., J. W. Gil bart, Esq., Col. Bruen, J. I'. Percival, Esq., Henry F. Richardson (honorary secretary), Henry Percival, Esq„ Bailey, Esq., and several other gentlemen. - The band of the Coldstream Guards was in attend ance, and during the course of the evening played se veral popular airs. The musical arrangements -were under the direction of Mr. Turner, who was assisted by Miss Thornton, and-Messrs. Genge, Edeny and Farqu harson Smith. The usual loyal and national toasts having been drunk with all the usual honours, The CHAIRMAN rose and said, that having drunk the healths of those who fought the battles of war, he now called upon them to drink to those who fought the bat tles of peace—of those who, although they shed not their blood in the battle-field, yet spent days of toil and nights of anxiety to benefit their fellow-creatures—who educated the community, whose labours were not as yet sufficiently appreciated, but who would eventually be properly appreciated and properly honoured—to whom would be awarded that station which they ought by right to occupy. He proposed " The British Press. - Drunk with three times three. Mr. JERDAN, in returning 'thanks on behalf of the press, took occasion to allude to the circumstances which had led to the formation of this Society. That such a society was needed was abundantly evident. Let them look to the situation in which any person was placed against whom an accusation of lunacy was brought. There was in the very accusation itself enough to appal the strongest-minded man in the world. If an indivi dual were accused of theft, or robbery, or murder, or any other atrocious crime, he would be tried at the Old Bailey, in the open Court, in the face of the public, by a Judge of law and a jury of twelve of his countrymen, sworn to administer justice; but if it was alleged that he I was a lunatic, the certificate of two men, without any public trial or investigation would be sufficient to legalise his incarceration. Now under such circumstances what could be more natural than that a man should feel in dignant at the unfounded • accusation of insanity thus brought against him? But if he put himself in a passion it would he said, " Oh! undoubtedly the man is mad." Then suppose the alleged lunatic determined to act with prudence, to subdue his anger, to show no outwerd sign of the indignation which he must naturally feel. "Oh!" they would say, "he is sulky— a sure sign that he is mad." But suppose that he spoke calmly and rationally, and reasoned with them, and that no flaw could be found in his argument ; what would they say then ? Why, that he had a lucid interval, but that still he was mad. A man might be as sensible as a secretary of state, yet still if he once was sent by a medical gen tleman to a private asylum, he could not get released.— (Hear.) The great evil of the system was the confine ment of single patients in single houses. The large asylums were, in some measure, under the superintend ence of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Lunacy, who occasionally corrected some abuses, but the great evil was the confinement of single patients in single houses ; and there were upwards of 1,000 such in the neighbourhood of London. The medical man who had charge of the patient had a direct interest in keeping him in confinement, for he derived an annuity varying from 501 to 3001. or more a year for so doing. The owner of the cottage had likewise a similar interest, for he would naturally desire to keep a good tenant. All the tradesmen in the neighbourhood had a similar interest, for if the patient were set at liberty the esta blishment would be broken up, and they would lase the custom of the house. Now how was it possible for an unfortunate person thus circumstanced to overcome all these obstacles without assistance? This institution pro mised to afford that assistance, and therefore was this institution worthy of the support of every philanthro pist.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of " Church and State," in so doing he said, that the society hoped to have the assistance of ministers of religion of all deno minations ; and that of the great reforms which the society was labouring to introduce into the laws for the regulation of lunatic asylums, one of the principal was, to afford ministers of religion at all times free access to persons confined as lunatics, to listen to their complaints, and to afford them spiritual consolation.—(Cheers). Drunk with three times three. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the toast of the evening, which was " Prosperity to the humane inten tions and Christian objects of the alleged Lunatics' Friend Society."—(Cheers.) The society had only been in existence one year. The founders of it had felt that great injustice had been perpetrated by the confinement of some persons on false allegations of insanity, and that the law was insufficient to protect the liberty of the subject. At thitt time a Bill was before the House of Commons, which had been drawn up by the Metropo litan Commissioners of Lunacy, for the better regula tion of Lunatic Asylums. It certainly introduced butter rules for the regulation of the confinement of the insane, but it left untouched the evil which it was the object of this society to put down, viz., the confinement of the sane upon false allegations of insanity. Those accused of insanity were deprived of any trial ; without any investigation, without the trial of a jury, upon a mere certificate of two medical men—a certificate which might be bought for a guinea, or for half a guinea —(A voice, "Five shillings.")—aye, or for five shillings a fellow-creature might be incarcerated in one of those asylums. Already had this society been the means of freeing several persons from an unjust imprisonment. There was one case of a trades man whose wife, in consequence of domestic differences which had driven him to seek for oblivion in the use of ,intoxicating liquors, had caused him to be confined in a madhouse. He was kept there for years. In order to get possession of some portion of his pro perty, she wished him to execute a deed of assignment He refused, and she tempted him with wine, but he was proof against temptation. So convinced were his sons of his sanity, that they told him when they came of age they would procure his release. The wife died—the sons came of age—he got posses. sion of the property, but still the fault was in the asylum. The society heard of the case, they took it up—they not only procured the release of the father, but they brought about a reconciliation between the father and the son ; and the property would be restored to the father, who was present among them that evening. In another case, a person who had offended a powerful public body had been by them incarcerated as a lunatic. The society had, however, taken up his cause, and freed him from imprisonment, and he too was . present. The Chairman concluded by proposing the toast, which was drunk with all honours. Mr. GOLD, in returning thanks, said that he was en tirely indebted to the exertions of the society for all that he enjoyed. Had it not been for them, he should still have been poor and friendless. He had heard much of the humanity of Lord Ashley, and had applied to him to: take up his cause. Lord Ashley, howeVer, had not done so ; fortunately, however, he had been found out by Mr. Hansard—(Loud cheers) — and in consequence of the benevolent exertions of that gentleman, he should now return to Bath reconciled to his son, to resume his station as an active and, he trusted, a useful citizen.—(Cheers.) Mr. WurrE also thanked the society for their exer tions, by which ho had been restored to liberty. He had been incarcerated by a pov,erfUl public body, and but for the assistance afforded him by this society he must have remained a prisoner life.—(Cheers.) Mr. Btamr, who styles himself " the rational patient," then rose to respond to the toast. He had been five times incarcerated in alunatic asylum on the certificate of Dr. Haslam, and each time he had been as sensible as he was at that moment. The medical attendant of tho asylum, when he was first incarcerated, had, after he had resided there ten days, told him that there was nothing the matter with him, and that he could not con cieve wy his friends had placed him there ; he added, that the Metropolitan Commissioners of Lunacy who had not visited the asylum for three months, were expected there daily, and that they would no doubt set him at liberty. The Commissioners came not for three months after that, and then he was placed in the pauper's yard as a punishment for having written letters to his friends, merely stating that he was confined in an asylum, an d asking them to come and se e him. The Commissioners asked if lie had any complaint to make? He said he had to complain of many grievances. They replied they would listen to him the next time they came, and went awa y without making any further investigation. One of the paupers in the yard told him, that when they came, they just looked at the patients and turned round and went away, and that they never did good to any one, and that was true. He never knew of any instance in which the commissioners had done good.—(Hear.) It might be - said that at the end of eighteen months he had been liberated, but that was not until all his powers had been exhausted, and the iron had entered into his soul. He thought that the prineiple of placing all insane persons under re straint was wrong. Suppose a man thought he could construct a railroad to the moon, the idea was absurd, but still it did no harm, and society was not justified in placing that man under restraint. It was only when an insane person was likely to commit violence, either on himself or on others, that the restraint was' justifiable. Mr. B. B. CADDELL, in proposing the health of the Chairman, acknowledged that the law at press nt, as far as regards the subject of insanity, was. very defective. The duty of the medical man was brought into direct conflict with his interest ; and under such circumstances he would not trust any man in the world. The object of . the society was first to secure to the unfortunate alleged lunatic all the protection that the law at present afforded to him, and secondly to procure such an alteration in the law as should more effectually protect the liberty of the subject. He .con. eluded by proposing the health of " Luke James Han sard, Esq., the chairman?' Drunk with three times three, and one cheer more. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, of Lancaster. T. J.

TIIE MURDER OF THE POLICEMAN IN ESSEX. ••-•• DAGENDAM, TUESDAY NIGHT.—Up to a late hoar this even ing, although the police have exhibited the greatest vigi lance, the murderers of Clark, the policeman, had not been apprehended. No reward has yet been offered for the dis covery of the parties by the Government. In addition to the local police. Superintendent Pearce, of the F division, and Whicher and Kendall, active officers of the detective force, are engaged in tracing out the murderers. The un fortunate deceased, it has been since ascertained, was to have ,been married in a few days to a young woman named Howe, residing near his native place, Woburn.. During the last day or so, it has been the subject of Conversation among the inhabitants of the neighbourhood of the murder, that the police-constables who have to perform night duty in 'the rural districts,.are the most inadequately armed..

Several other toasts were drunk, and the company did not finally separate until a very late hot r. THE CHANNEL SQUADRON PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—A friend has favoured us with the following extract of a private letter, dated July :3, from one of the ships of the squadron : "On the 24th of June the Queen, Canopus, and Superb tried rate of sailing under single-reefed topsails and topgal lant 'sails, with a strong breeze and moderate sea. The Queen was beaten in three hours about two miles and a half by Su perb; the Canopus beat Superb about two r ships: length t o ,windward. . " On the 25th Vanguard, Canopus, and Raleigh started to try.rate of sailing, the two former under single-reefed top sails and topgallant sails, the latter under double-reefed-top sails and topgallant sails, being unable to carry single-reeled topsails. In about an hour after starting Raleigh ,earried away her foretopsail yard, and was in consequence entirely out of the race. During the hour, however, before the a,ct dent, she appeared to forereach on her two competitors.. an d might have beaten them. At the expiration of four hours, Vanguard beat Canopus 500 yards to windward. Vanguard much stiffer than either of her competitors. Raleigh the most crank; twenty tons of extra ballast would, perhaps, remedy this defect. " On the 26th the steamers were ordered to fire three rounds blank cartridge. The Avenger and Gladiator fired only four guns each. The Retribution was the only vessel that fired the whole number. " On the 30th the steamers were ordered to try rate of steaming. At 10 A.m. the Retribution, Gladiator, and Aven ger started, full power, with a strong breeze six points 'tni port bow. In two- hours the Retribution gained on Gladia tor 14 miles; on Avenger three miles. At noon altered course to wind on port beam, and tried- until 4 r.m. —at each successive step of expansion gear—during the whole of this time the relative distance,: were perceived as near as possible as during the trial from 10 to 12. At four, being about seven or eight miles dead:to leeward of the Admiral, the signal was made to prepare to steam to windward. Topmasts were in consequence struck, and everything got ready to loin the ships to windward. At about 4.30 they started abreast. Retribution soon got the lead, although Gladiator stuck very close for a few minutes; but once clear of her, she soon shot abead,'beating her in the run about two miles, and Avenger four miles. " Gladiator and Avenger were each working up to 10Ib. the square inch, having tubular boilers; Retribution can only work up to 61b., having the old common boilers. "July I.—The Terrible having joined the fleet during the `previous night, a signal was made to try rate of steaming with her. They accordingly started at about ten A.m., with full power, the Terrible, with her tubular boilers, working up to 131 b. the square inch, and after steaming dead to windward, with a strong breeze and heavy head-swell for three hours, she beat Retribution as near as possible half a mile an hour. Unquestionably she is a noble ship; bid, nevertheless, lam inclined to believe she beat Retribution principally by the great command of steam generated by tubular boilers. Had both ships been fitted with similar boilers, probably the result would have been different. One thing by this trial appears to be clearly settled—that where two ships of similar tonnage, or nearly so, and equal horse power, but fitted with tubular and common boilers, are matched, the former must have the advantage in speed , over the latter. This was very evident in the trial the day before with Gladiator, for with Retribution's immense en gines 01800 horse power, over Gladiator's 450, the former certainly ought to have beat her double the distance, had they both been fitted with similarly constructed boilers. At one P.M. a signal was made to the Terrible to steam with 61b. pressure only. At first Retribution gained rapidly on her, but as soon as this was perceived on board she shot ahead again. In short, this trial is not worth relating, it being almost impossible to keep steam at any exact pressure. A few shovelsful of coal, or slightest alteration of throttle valve, more or less, will always cause an alteration. In the evening they both banked the fires. "July 2, at 9 A.m., we tried rate of sailing on a wind, star board tack. Terrible, under all plain sail; Retribution, with single-reefed topsails. At 11, the and falling light, Retri bution shook out first reefs. At 1.30 P.M., Retribution being about one mile ahead, tacked. At 3, having weathered on her opponent about three-quarters of a mile, born up and set port studding sails. Ran until sunset without any difference of sailing; then lighted the fires of two boilers and steamed all night. Terrible gained two miles all night. Arrived at Cove this evening, July 3, at 7 P.M. Found the squadron lying here."— Times. (From the Cork Reporter of Saturday.) This noble fleet arrived in our harbour yesterday, and now is anchored in line at the man-of-war roads, presenting as splendid and imposing a spectacle as can well be imagined. The first which appeared at the harbour's mouth yesterday morning was the St. Vincent, bearing the flag of Commodore Collier, which, on entering, saluted the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir H. Pigott in the usual form. The other ships of the squadron continued to come in during the day, and the fleet, when all are anchored in Cove harbour, will consist of tour three-deckers, five two-deckers, three frigates, and five • steamers, embracing a force of 17 men-of-war, with 1,020 - guns and 11,400 men. They are as follow: Three Deckers—Queen, St. Vincent, Trafalgar. Two Deckers—Albion, Canopus, Superb, Rodney, Van guard. Frigates—Raleigh, Constance, Brilliant. Steamers— Retribution, Gladiator, Avenger, Scourge, Rattler. It is understood they will remain for a fortnight or three weeks, several repairs having to be done, and it is also confidently asserted that they will be paid in Coke. harbour. We have been favoured by a 'nautical friend with the following notice of the arrival of the squadron and of their movements since they were last in the harbour :--- " Cove, July 3, 1846. "About ten, A.m., the Squadron of Evoluticri, after a cruise of three weeks, between the Land's-end and Cape Clear, were seen entering this harbour in the following order : " Her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, Commodore Sir F. Col lier, under all plain sail to royals. " Queen, Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, under topsails and topgallant sails, taking up station abreast of the St. Vincent. " Brilliant, fore and plain topgallant studding sails set. " Vanguard, under topsails, anchoring ahead of St. Vin cent. " Next came the little schooner yacht Kestrel, Right Hon. the Earl of Yarborough, which accompanied the squadron from Cove, and has continued in company during the cruise. " Rodney, under topsails, taking station ahead of the Queen. " Canopus, under the same sail, made her appearance 20 minutes after, and anchored ahead of Vanguard. " Superb, under topsails, followed, and came to windward of Rodney. " At 11 15 her Majesty's ship Avenger also arrived." Since our last report of the movements of the fleet a good trial under steam took place between the latter-named vessel, Gladiator, and Retribution, against a heavy head sea, in which trial the Retribution had the advantage completely, The Avenger, all in all, and next to the Rattler, was con sidered to be the most perfect steamer afloat. When, therefore, she joined in this trial and could only keep pace, last of the whole, much surprise was expressed at vas her failure iY her speed, in comparison with others in a heavy sea. Several vessels are yet to make their appearance, having been lost sight of in the fog. ' OPERATIONS DURING THE CRUISE. After leaving Cove it was believed that Sir William Parker in the Hibernia was on his way to take command of the fleet, but he did not since fall in with them. A more active and experienced commander could not be found among the flag-officers of the day. His services in 1839-40 at the Admiralty, afterwards in China, where he gained honours, and won imperishable laurels, all speak of judicious selection. We look forward, if these reports are true, to hear of some creditable manoeuvres in gunnery and naval tactics, which will add a further store of information to that already in possession of the Admiralty, and aid in their conclusions those persevering and energetic individuals who have devoted their lives to the study of British naval architecture. These are the means : ships well stored and provisioned (we wish it could be said well manned), proudly floating in the unfathomable waters of the Atlantic, ready at the will cf some skilful commander to be guided as experience might best - dictate, for - the nation's good. June 11.—Weighed and proceeded out of Cove harbou4. hove to ; Trafalgar and Belleisle parted company. 12th.—standing to the southward. 13th.—Wind variable. 4 P.M. her Majesty's sloop of war Fly hove in sight on her way to England to be paid off; communicated with her, and supplied the captain and offi cers with some live stock. The general liberality of, the officers in most of the ships is deservingof remark, all having sent, unasked, more or less in the shape of fowls, fresh boet,- wine, &c. Indeed it was considered, that instead of beir:'; supply for the captain of the Fly and his officers, cr. was handed on board to supply the whole ship's company. Same evening, towards midnight, exercised at general quar ters, firing three rounds of blank cartridge, Brilliant first. 14th.—Standing to the south-west. 5 r.lit.Gladiator made her number. 8 P.M. Gladiator and Scourge parted company. 15th.—Sqaadron took up her position and laid out targets for exercise with shot, 150 miles south-west of Scilly. Sir Gordon Bremer and captains of particular ships visited Com modore Collier on board St. Vincent. 16th.—Her Majesty's ship Canopus joined the squadron from Spitbead, having on board supernumeraries for the Hibernia, lat, 48 deg. 40 min., long. 10 deg. 10 min. 18th. —Light variable airs. Exercised firing at targets. 19th.—Gladiator and Scourge rejoined. 20th.—Light breezes; standing to the south-west. 21st.—Retribution joined; 185 miles south-west of Scilly. 22d.—Moderate breeze from the north-west. Vanguard, Canopus, and Raleigh tried rate of sailing on a wind tinder single reefed topsails and topgallant sails. After a trial of four hours the Canopus weathered the Vanguard ; Queen asked permission, after nearly two hours had^~^l, to join. She was observed to settle considerahly to windward during the last hour of the trial, though the former head-reached. Raleigh, having split foretopsail, was done f 4 this trial. 23d.—A strong breeze sprang up from the southward. 24th.—Avenger steamer joined company from Plymouth, bringing letters for the fleet. 25th.—Strong breeze. St. Vincent, Queen, and nalei shifted topsails and reefed ; in doing which the Queen had a man killed by falling from the mizen-top on the poop. 26th.—Squadron formed in line of battle under topsails and canvas. Took stations in two columns as before ; squadron standing to the southward. 27th.—Standing to the northward and eastward. .
