NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW NAVAL UNIFORM. A few days since we gave our readers a description of the new uniform which her Majesty has been graciously pleased to command should be worn by officers of the Reval Navy. We are now enabled, by the kindness of Messrs. Gillott, the tailors to the Admiralty, to give our naval friends a more correct outline, and as the object of the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty appears to have been to mark more distinctly the relative rank of naval officers with those of the army, we think it has been admirably accomplished. We have been favoured with a private view of the epaulettes, which are very handsome. We find that the Admiral of the Fleet will be distinguished by an embroidered strap to his epaulette, four stars, crossed batons, and a crown; An Admiral—Three stars, sword and baton, and a crown. A V ice-Admiral--Two AltM i t • sword- and -baton,. crown. A Rear-Admiral—One star, sword and baton, and a crown. Commodores and Captains of three years' standing—A crown, star, and anchor. Captains under three years—A crown and anchor. Commanders—A star and anchor. Lieutenants—An anchor only. Master . of the Fleet—Crossed anchors and a star. Masters—Crossed anchors only. Mates—One epaulette on right shoulder, with anchor only. Second Masters—The same, with crossed anchors only. CIVIL BRANCH. . TheDirector-General of Fleets and Hospitals—Crown and star sospectors of Fleets and Hospitals—The crown only. Deputy-Inspectors of Fleets and Hospitals—The star only, Secretaries to Commander .in-Chief—The Star only. Secretaries to Junior Flag Officers, Surgeons, and pay. masters—A pair of epaulettes. plain. Assistant Surgeons and Passed Clerks—One plain epaulette on the right shoulder. Shoulder straps similar to those of the epaulettes are to be worn with the great coats, which are to be made strictly to the present regulation ; and also with jackets, and may be worn with undress coats on board ship. A richly embroi dered crown has also been assigned to the blue cloth cap, in addition to the lace band, by way of distinguishing naval officers from persons employed in our commercial marine, who, though deserving well et our hands, arid we are glad to bear testimony to the number of educated and gentlemanly men amongst them, have, most unjastitiably, we think, re sorted to bands of the navy lace for their caps. MANNING ova Suirs.—The Admiralty, much to'ths credit of the Board, have lately been using the most strenu ous exertions to secure the entry of god and efficient seamen into the service, and the conveyance of them from o ne place to another as speedily as possible. It appears, however, that on account of malpractices on board the fla g ve s r n a e i j o s e f d t . h the , n po d r ts, muchthe efforts eng endered amongst the commanders of the v essels fittin g have n esu otmdissatisfaction of the i r b a e l) n , e t for sea. Every flageebip at home is short of men in con sequence of drafts to other ships. Of course the captains of the flag-ships have not parted with their best, but have taken the opportunity of getting rid of their inferior men, in order that they might recruit superior seamen for their ut com i those men who volunteer for them; pla o wn ships. It is all very fair for the bflag-sa hips to int entes r strongly urged that all sorts of c haracters have been sent to the flag-ships from the various rendezvous, and without discrimination have been turned over to the ships fitting for foreign service, whilst good seamen, who have entered for a particular ship, have been induced by promises or have been compelled to remain in the flag-ships. Thus the ships fitting have all the disadvantage of the ?ease, the majority of which are either ineligible to serve from physical causes, or rob and desert after being a few days on board. We have heard of a large number of men sent from the flag-ship to other vessels fitting having been rejected by the captains; surveys have been ordered on them, and many condemned as unfit " for service, and thus ill-feeling, delay, and disappointment are the effects. We are aware that some steps have been taken to alter this state of things, and that the Admiralty, averse to promiscuous enrolment, have endeavoured to improve the system. We trust the commanders of ships will second their Lordahips' desire to have an efficient set of men, and firmly refuse such whole sale consignments as they have been deluged with for the last six months. If a seaman volunteer for a particular ship, let good faith be kept with him, and let him be sent to that vessel, and not allow him to be deceived by false pro mises, and be made a discontented grumbler, instead of a cheerful, an active, and efficient servant. It is reported at the clubs that Rear-Admiral J. W. Deans Dundas, C. 8., will have the command of the experi mental squadron of 1846, which will not assemble until late next month, as the Albion will not be ready by the time at first named. Mr. S. Gibbs, senior third-class clerk in the storekeepers' office, Devonport Dockyard, has been promoted to the second class, vice Burt, superannuated: Mr. B.

INIARC 25, 1846. -6V-E-11 LAND MAIL INDIA AND) CHINA. DEFEAT OF THE SEIKHS. (From the Times.) MALTA, MARCH 17. We have received India news yesterday by the Penin sular and Oriental Company's steamer Oriental, although she brought no mail, of the following dates :—Calcutta, February 7; Bombay, 15th; and China, January, 1846. Sir Harry Smith's division having reinforced Colonel Godby's division at Loodianah, has encountered the Seikhs. On the 28th of January, Sir H. Smith, 12,000 strong, with 32 guns, marched out to meet the enemy. The Seikhs advanced to meet them. After a stout resistance and a heavy cannonade, the Seikh position was stormed-65 out of 63 guns captured, and their whole army, 24,000 strong, driven across the river. In six weeks the Seikhs have been beaten in four pitched battles, with the loss of 150 pieces of artillery. The divisions under the Commander-in-Chief and Governor•Genelsl continue at rest, facing the river from Ferozepore, westward. The Seikhs are entrenched in great force in front. Their camp is on their own side, and their batteries on our side of the river, a strong bridge of boats connecting the position. Ghoolab Singh arrived at Lahore on the 27th with 12,000 troops from the hills. Tne conquest of the Punjaub will not be attempted before October. The Sinde troops are advancing up the Indus ; the division on the left commanded by General Simpson ; that on the right by Sir C. Napier ; a steam flotilla, and a huge array of boats creepint up the river between. It is said they will take up a. position near Mittun-kote, and there remain during the hot season, ready to co oper..to with the grand army, when a general move ment takes place. The Mooltan chief has offered to co-operate with us. and the Hindoo soldiers in the service of the Lahore Government are prepared to join us in a body. Her Majesty's 62d Regiment have been acquitted of the im nutetion of misconduct before the enemy, to which the diTateli of General Littler gave circulation. They re mained under a terrific fire of grape and canister until hey were commanded to retire, further exposure being useless. We have papers from China to the 6th of January, but the news they contain is unimportant. The Governor , General has ordered levies to be raised and trained to the amount of 10,000 men, to keep the regiments on service in full effective strength. Our loss in k'lled and wounded is about 600, that of the enemy not ki.own, but very severe. TEIE PUNJAUB. We delayed publicatien to the latest possible hour at the dispatch of last steamer, in expectation of receiving full and authentic tidings of a reverse said to have oc eurred near Lo,dianah, but obtained none. Sir Harry Smith's division—which occupied a position at the ex treme right of the British force, nearly opposite Hurre kee—procerded accordirg to orders about the 19th, to march in the direction of Leodianah to reinforce the di vision under Colonel Godby, considered too weak to be opposed to the formidable body of Seikhs then entrenched in the neighbourhood for the purpose of annoying them. The division consisted of the Ist and 2d brigades of infantry, viz , her Majesty's 31st and 24th; 42d, 47th, and 48th Native Infantry, the 9th and 16th Lancers, three troops of horse artillery, and the 4th irre gular horse. Her Majesty's 53d bad been ordered to join on the way, and the junction was effected at 7 p M. on the 20th, to the east of Dhurrumkote, the Europeans having marched 17 miles for this purpose; the force in all amounting to nearly 8,000 men. On the 20th an express arrived, intimating that the Loodianah regiments were hemmed in. The Seikhs had crossed the river in force, and taken up such a position as they considered suitable for intercepting our troops and preventing a junction. The reinforcing division marched about half past one on the morning of the 21st ; 25 miles had to be traversed before they reached their destination. Colonel Godby had been written to, announcing General Smith's approach, and desiring him, as soon as he saw the dust of the advancing column, to move out and meet them. When about five miles from the conclusion of the journey, the Seikh troops were unexpectedly descried close at hand. The present object was a junction, not a battle; and a considerable detour was immediately re 824.4upette„t9,prtuno0,3119. former and avoid the latter. The — coluinii was headed by her Maja . 6% 31:4=53d' bringing up the tear. The enemy's artillery did them their usual service ; their cavalry made some demon - etrations, but speedily withdrew ; ours, consisting of the 9th and 16th Lancers, the Ist and 3d Light Cavalry, and 4th irregulars TvLre commanded not to charge, though eager for the fray. The Umballah force had moved out about nine o'clock that morning, and were at this time rapidly approaching. General Smith con tented himself with returning the fire of the enemy's cannon. The haste with which the circuitous movement was executed for a time exposed the baggage, a portion of which fell into the hands of the enemy. Our casualties amounted to about 200 killed and wounded. Lieutenant Hideout, of the 47th Native Infantry, and Lieutenant Campbqll, Aide-de-Camp to the Governor-General, were slain ; Lieutenant Cavanagh, 4th Irregular Horse, and Lieutenant Grey, her Majesty's 53d, were wounded. From the 21st to the 24th every effort was made to re store comfort to the brigade—loss of tents in the burning sun of India being a much more formidable matter than a similar occurrenci , at home. The greater portion of the troops were encamped between Buddewal and Loodianab —the 36th Native Lifantry and Nusseeree battalion being alone near the town. The Seikhs now apptehend ing an attack, in turn abandoned Buddewal, and with drew to a more advantageous position lower down the river. Colonel Wheeler's brigade, consisting of her Majesty's 50th, the 47th, and 48th regiments of Native Infantry, joined on the 25th, and a few days being al lowed for rest an 1 arrangements, it was resolved that an attack by the united force should be made on the 28th. The Seikh force had originally consisted of 20,000 men with 56 guns : on the 26th they were reinforced by the addition of 12 guns and 4,000 men—all regular well disciplined troops. Their rear rested on the river, they were entrenched strongly on the flanks; the strength of their position was the village of Aleewal. On the 28th the united divisions, consisting of 12,000 men and 32 guns, marched at daybreak from Buddewal in the direc tion of the enemy's camp. At the village of Churck we first got sight of the enemy. They ad vanced some distance beyond their entrenchments towards our division, and commenced a heavy can nonade on our troops, which continued for half-an hour. The village of Aleewal,, the important point, was now stormed by our troops. Colonel Wheeler's brigade, consisting of her Majesty's 50th, and the 47th and 48th Native Infantry, led the advance. The whole line now pressed on and stormed the batteries every where, carrying the guns at the bayonet's point. Charge after charge of our cavalry broke and cut up the enemy as they endeavoured to rally. The 16th Lancers and 3d cavalry suffered most severely ; of the former 110 were killed or wounded in charging the enemy's guns and in striving, and that most successfully, to break a square of a Khalsa regiment, which was quickly dis persed or cut to pieces. In this latter service 200 of the Irregular Horse, under Captain Hill, and 700 of the Sheltawattee Brigade eminently distinguished, themselves. The Seikhs fought gallantly, and their guns were excellently served ; they opened at ten, and wore not silenced till one o'clock—many of the artillery men remaining till bayoneted at their posts. By noon the enemy N% ero broken : they were driven by repeated charges of cavalry and infantry into, and across, the river. Many were drowned in attempting to escape. Sixty-five of their guns were captured ; the remaining three were left unserviceable. Nothing could exceed the gallantry of the troops ; the artillery practice was precise, steady, and destructive ; the cavalry charges ; and the infantry everywhere as determined, steady, and orderly, as if a ball-practice parade, anti not a pitched battle, had been in hand. Sir Harry Smith was present everywhere, encouraging and leading on the men. Four European officers were killed in this affair, and thirteen wounded. Their names are as follow: Killed.—Hcr Majesty's 16th Lancers—Lieutenant a. D. Sweetman, and Cornet or Lieutenant Williams. 50th Foot—Captain C. Ii Grimes. 55'.h Native Infantry—Lieutenant Smallpage. Wounded.-16th Lancers —Major Smith ; Captain Fyler, severely. 31st Foot—Lieutenant Da Vernet, Ensign Purcell (Qy. 50th Foot). 50th Foot—Captain Pringle O'Hanlon (Major of Bri gade), Lieutenant H. J. Frampton, Lieutenant William P. Elgae, kaasigu rawer. Stith Bengal Native Infantry—Ensign F. J. Bagshawe. 48th Bengal Nativellnfantry—Captain Henry Palmer, Captain H. L. Bird, Lieutenant and Adjutant Wall (badly), and Ensign W. E. Marshall. The forces further to the westward along to Feroze pore have, for nearly six weeks, rested on their arms. A division of Seikhs, about 40,000 strong, with a large park of well. appointed artillery, still continue at Hur reekee, in front of the division under the Commander-in- Chief. A heavy battery of guns arranged in semi-cir cular form, the convex side to us on our side of the river, protects the pontoon bridge by which the army on the other bank communicates with this. The boats sent up the Indus for the construction of a bridge, which were sunk to protect them from the shot of the enemy in the middle of December, have been raised, and are now being put in order. for the purpose for which they were orifilnally intended. At Rhonda Ghat, where the bridge is to be placed, a strong force is posted, and shots occasionally exchanged betwixt the opposing armies. A demonstration had been ordered by Sir John Grey, who commands at Attarec, on the 29th ; the Seikhs having carried off a boat of ours, and further aggression being anticipated. Nothing of any note, however, occurred. Sir John Grey's bri gade consists of a nine-pounder battery, the Bth Light Cavalry, and the 11th, 12th, and 55th N. I. The Sinde army was expected to be about this time on the move from Sukkur. The division on the left bank of the river to be commanded by General Simpson ; that on the right by Sir C. Napier; the steam flotilla, and a countless host of boats, moving up against the stream between. They were expected to take up a position near Nlithencote, 140 miles above Sukkur, and 310 below Fe rozepore, and remain there till called on to co-operate after the hot season was over—about September or Oc tober. Meanwhile Ghoolab Singh has come down from his mountain holds, and arrived at the capital with some 12.000 men and a vast amount of supplies—no fewer than 300,000 bullocks are said to attend his camp. As yet, on the part of the Lahore Government, there is little appearance either of want of strength or of resources. The Mooltan Chief appears to be negotiating with both parties. He is said to have offered to co-operate with Sir C. Napier, provided we will, on becoming masters of . the country, permit him to hold his estates on the same tenure as that under which he now possesses them. He is willing to pay the same tribute to us as to his present superior. He is understood at the same time to have written to Lahore, stating his willingness to resist the British, and maintain the war single-handed, if tribute enough be remitted to meet the exigencies of the oc casion. ~-,------ ',7 4 . . ....

A communication WAS read from Professor Royle, the botanist of the East India Company, detailing some further results of the experimental trials for the culture of cotton in India. Since the last report of Dr. White, 30,000 acres had been put into cultivation, whilst from one acre alon e the p roduce was 7001b9., whilst more was to be expected. All that was now required to make East India cotton a most valuable export commodity, was the employment of European agents in India markets who would select the best quality. The next paper read was one communicated by the Noble President on the geographical conditions of the Punjaub territory, which was described in its territorial limitss The most interesting information con nected with the present crisis was that the climate was very healthy to Europeans, and much more so than that of Hindostan. From November to January, snow geaerally fell to a depth of five feet, but the rainy season was not uni form, these being chiefly showers, which were very genial in this warm climate. No region in the earth was better wa tered, and most of the plan t s a n d f ru i ts common to Euro p e are developed in high perfection , wanting only the superior cultivation of this country.

CASE OF DEPRAVITY.—A CHILD UNDER TwtLvis YEARS OLD ATTEMPTING TO POISON A WHOTA FAMILTA —lt is with no common feelings of horror and astonishment' that we have to record the following case, as it appeared be fore the magistrates at Huddersfield on Tuesday last, and which, since the case of Eliza leaning, we believe to be unparalleled. Mr. George Beaumont, an extensive manufac turer at Honley, applied to the magistrates requesting them to cancel the indentures of his female apprentice, named Eliza Sykes, a parish apprentice, and who (he said) would not be twelve years old until next month. Mr. Beaumont stated that she had been apprenticed to him by the parish nearly two years since, and he requested her indentuedres to to be cancelled, in consequenc e of her having attempt poison the whole family.

Noa thing more was thought of it until Saturday last, when, after part of the family partaking of porridge for their breakfast, two of the children, and one of the heads of the family, toge ther with the girl herself, were taken alarmingly ill; the latter so much so that it was found necessary to put bet to bed. During the day . she confessed to having put the poi soned meal into the meal-box from which the porridge watt made Information was sent to the overseer (Mr. Henry Battye), who endeavoured to elicit from her.the reason for the act, but could gain nothing, but that her mistress had whipped her without any cause; the fact being, that she bad cut the tail of a favourite bird, and her mistress had chastised her for it. She had done this in a spirit of revenge. On be ing interrogated by the magistrates, she said, " I should not have done so; I was aware that I was liable to be sent to prison for it, but I did not intend to kill them ; they had grieved me by charging me with something I did not do."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. IMPORTANT NEWS FROM SPAIN (From the Chronicle.) We have received by extraordinary express from Paris a letter from our correspondent, dated half-past three o'clock yesterday, in which we find the following: " Dispatches were received from Madrid this morn ing of a most important, and, you will perceive, of a very menacing character, fully confirmatory of the an ticipation I communicated to you some eight or ten days since, that General Narvaez meditated a coup d'etat. "Those dispatches bring an address to the Queen, signed by the entire of the new Cabinet, calling upon her Majesty to suspend the Cortes, and—for it comes to that—the liberty of the press. " Two royal decrees followed in full compliance with this recommendation. The first suspends the Cortes. The second directs that for certain offences, namely, the publication of that which may be deemed seditious matter, the offending journal be suspended, and fora repetition of the aggravated offence such journal be de finitively suspended—in other words, suppressed. " I may be allowed to add, that all to whom this in telligence has become known feel intense alarm at it. Some think that it will not injuriously affect the funds (why always " the fends ?"), becuuse it will be held a proof of firmness. Others, more sensibly you will think, regard the matter as serious and threatening to the last degree. " You will observe that the coup d'c•tat of Prince Polignac here in Paris, on the 251 h of July, 1830, seems to have suggested to General Narvaez this proceeding. The only difference between the two acts is this, the ord.mnances of Charles X. declared the Chamber of Deputies dissolved, and, it terms "the liberty of the press suspended." The ordonnances of Isabella 11. only " suspend" the Cortes, and direct that certain, all offending journals are suspended." tiorreeptnau.m " Great fears exist that the royal steamer Virago, on board of which was the Indian mail, had foundered, as she left Alexandria on the 9th, and had not reached Malta on the 18th."

Sin, —Your important report of the " City Licensing Meet mg," which, though held only vesterday, appeared in the Second Edition of The Sun, affords an additional proof of your alacrity in producing the earliest information for all classes of her Majesty's subjects; but what must have been the disappointment of the Licensed Victuallers at finding the report in their own paper of this morning limited to a space considerably within an inch! Surely, if the corpora tion cannot afford to send special reporters on an occasion so interesting to their whole body, the editor might, at least, avail himielf of the published labours of others. For my own part, I have taken in 7'he San regularly more than sixteen years, and I shall gladly embrace every opppr tunity of recommending it to all who require an erening paper, because I consider that, as a medium for disseminat ing early and original intelligence, no paper has equal claims to public encouragement and support.—l have the honour to remain, respectfully, Sir, your most obedient servant, HENRY BRETT.

In that endeavour they were foiled ; for before the Are was extinguished, Mr. Butters and his three children were suffocated. Their names were as follows :--Robert Butters, the father, aged 37 ; his son Robert, aged six years and a half, and William, aged one year and a half, and his daughter Jane, aged four years and a half. The whole four deceased parties were got out by the firemen, and were taken to Mr. Bateman's surgery opposite. They having been examined, Mr. Bateman pronounced them quite dead, and they were removed to Marylebone Workhouse. Mrs. Butters, who has lost her husband and three children, has comnaunicated the follow ing :—She says that she retired to bed on Sunday night, between ten and eleven o'clock. Her husband, at the time, was from home. Shortly before twelve o'clock she was awakened b y t he the return of her husband, who immediately we:Tressed and retired to bed. They had not been in bed many minutes, when they were aroused by a loud knocking at the street door. Her husband got out of bed, and on opening the window heard a crp of "Fire r raised. So positive was he at that time that the fire had not occurred in his premises, that he called oat to the men in the street that all was right. He then went down stairs and opened one of the shop doors that leads into the passage, when flames burst forth with such violence as to nearly knock him down. He then re turned to try to save her and the children. Ile got a small ladder, which he placed under the trap-door on the roof, but he was unable to get the bolts drawn back. Ile then went to the back room, and finding there was no escape there, they all returned tO the front room, in the hope of being rescued by the escaPe, which they knew was kept at Baker-street. Whilst standing at the window the mob called to them to do something , but what she could not tel l, on ac count of her children screaming so dreadfully. The smoke entering husband would t e h h e d r e o h o e m e a x t pe las et t ed in e s te uc t h he d r e e s al he d havejumped droppedoutof t t h h e e out, and then have come n i i t re v n ' himself. She could not form any idea as to how the fire originated.

JOHN LISTON, THE COMEDIAN.—The admirers of histrionic excellence will learn with regret that this matchless disciple of Momus has "shuffled off this mortal coil," at the age of 69, having been born in the year 1766, in the parish of St. Ann's, Soho. His death took place on Sunday last, at his house, George-terrace, Knightsbridge. ills name is associated with the brightest recollections of the British drama, when Kemble, Young, Cook, I.mery, Johnstone, C. Kembie, Fawcett, Mrs. Siddons, Miss O'Neil, Mrs. Dickins, Miss Stephens, Mrs. Gibbs, and a host of others, shed lustre on the boards of Covent-garden Theatre. M a.SQUERADE.—M onday night a Bal Masque was given at Covent-garden Theatre, under tke direction of Mr. Weipport. The arrangements were in every way commensurate with the occa sion, and the music excellent, combining the exertions of a band of a hundred and ten performers. A numerous assemblage of the plea sure-seeking portion of the public responded to the invitation of the projectors, and the body of the house, as well as the boxes and gal lery, presented an animated appearance. The lighting and decora tions produced a brilliant and cheerful effect, and the costumes and characters were sufficiently diversified and amusing. Dancing was kept up with spirit till a late hour; everybody appearing to be well satisfied with his own exertions and those of his neighbours. On Thursday evening, between nine and ten o'clock, a cabriolet, in which were two persons, stopped in front of the Ma gazin de Nouveautes of M. Talaman, in the Rue Croix des Petits Champs, Paris, and immediately afterwards one of the persons in the cabriolet fired off a pistol, the ball of which lodged in a piece of the goods in the shoe, just missing one of the. persons near it. Before the confusion and alarm created by this extraordinary and atrocious act had sufficiently subsided for any step to be taken, the cabriolet was driven off at a great speed, and nothing has yet been discovered to clear up the mystery of the affair.
