SaN EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) MILLER V. ALDERMAN SALOMANS.—JUDGMENU The court was very much crowded by-the bar and the public this morning in consequence of to-day having been fixed for giving judgment in this important case. It will be recollected that the ection of Miller v. Salo mans was brought to recover certain penalties which were alleged to have been forfeited by the defendant under the Ist of Gco. L, c. 13 and -the 6th Geo.: 53, by reason of having voted in the House of Commons without having taken the oath of abjuration. It was tried at the last sittings after Michaelmas term, wl;tet, the jury returned a special verdict . , and the case numb on for argument before the full court during last Hilary term, when the Court reserved its judgment. There being now a difference of opinion among their;, Lord ships, Mr. Baron Martin, the junior baron, delivered his judgment first. Mr. Baron MARTIN said Sir Fitzroy Kelly, on behalf. of the defendant, urged three points. First, that it was not obligatory to take the oath of abjuration at all— that it was abolished, or expired at the death of George the Second, or, at all events, at the death of George the Fourth, and that there was nolawful authority for substier toting the name Queen Victoria in the place of that of, the monarch who was on the throne when the oath was . enacted. He was of opinion that this point was not : tenable, and that there was ample .= authority for intro ducing the names of Sovereigns into the oath as they succeed to the throne. The second point was thatehe words" on the true faith of a Christian," were repeated by the 10 Geo. III.; but this he also thought was hot tenable. oThe third was, that according to the true con struction of the statutes, an obligation was imposed on all subjects, whether ristian or Jew, to take such an, oath as was binding on their conscience. He intimated also (as we understood) that he considered that point could not be maintained. The fourth and last point, and really the only one in the present case, was whether, as the defendant had taken the oath in a way binding on his conscience, though, omitting the words "on the true faith of a Christian," he had not taken the oath in a lawful manner, and Was consequently relieved from all penalties. The Learned Baron then went through the various Acts at -considerable length, and observed that the main obj. ct of them appeared to be to exclude all persoes who were suspected of being disaffected to the Crown, and to compel subjects not to take the oath simply as a matter oeforen, but in a way really binding upon their consciences. The words " on the true faith of a Christian" were not in serted as a test of Christianity, but in order, to make the oath more effectually .binding upon Reman Catholics, who were then suspected of using mental reservations; for it was evident that the Legislature never intended to term Jews Popish recusants. The special verdict 'found that a Jew was bound by the oath as taken by the defendant, though he omitted the words in question, and it would be a manifest absurdity to compel a Jew to Use another form, and to swear " on the truce faith of a Christian," when that was not binding:on his conscience. Highly penal statutes ought always to receive a just and reasonable construction, but if the view contended for against the de fendant were adopted, he could neither sue nor be sued; he could neither bequeath property nor have property given to him ; and on the warrant of four justices of the peace he could be banished from the kingdom, and if he returned without the license of the Crown he might suffer the penalty of death. His opinion was that a Jew ought to be allowed to take the oath, omit ting the words "on the true faith of a Christian ' ." and that opinion h e b e li eve d was consonant w i t h the principles and practice of the law. In saying, there fore, that the defendant was entitled to the judgment of the Court, he thought he was doing his best to carry out the intention of the Legislature, and to give the true legal construction to the statutes on the subject. Mr. Baron ALDERsoN. said the Court all *greed that three of the points submitted by the coned for the defendant were not supported, and it was only, di',,the other point that the Court entertained: any doubt; whether on taking the oath of abjuration Alderman Sa lmons was b'ound to add the words " on the true faith of a Christian;" and whether, by p ur p ose ly om itti ng them, he enlist be deemed as not having taken the oath at all as prescribed by the Act 6 of Geo. 111. ? On this point he regretted to-say he differed from his Learned Brother, Mr. .Baron Martin, being' clearly of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to the judgment of the Court. He considered that the words omitted formed an integral part of the oath, and could not be dispensed with. It was argued that such a construc tion involved an absurdity, and that according to the golden rule it ought to be modified, in order to get rid of the absurdity ; but he held that no more modifica tion was required than was necessary to dispense with what appeared to be inconsistent or absurd. He saw nothing in the Acts recited which .induced him to be lieve that the Legislature did cot intend that the words . " on the true faith of a Christian" should- form a Ilea' cessary part of the oath. The object of the Legisla ture evidently was, that th e oat h o f a bj ura ti on was to apply to, and be taken by, all persons matped in the Act, of whatever religion, whether Protestant, Roman Catholic, Jew, or Moravian ; and that .Ibis was so was proved by the fact that. •Acts had, been at different times passed dispensi ng w i t h th e words in cer tain cases, but unfortunately they did not extend to the present one. The words were incorporated in and formed a part 'of every sentence in the oath, so that without them no part of the oath would have exectly the same meaning as when they were added, he .therefore was of opinion that. Alderman Salomons had not legally taken the oath. He regretted that as an expounder of the laiv he was compelled to come to that_ Conclusion, because he believed that at the time: the ,oath was ene,. acted the case of a Jew was. never contemplated. He thought, however, it would be better ' if Jews were to be excluded from Parliament,,that they should be ex 'eluded by u specific enactment, and not -by an oath which was intended .to apply to, a , different class of subjects. He regretted, that the consequences of his decision were so serious, involving, as they Would disa bilities of a very grave character, for in addttion to being liable to the penalties sued fOr the defendant could be made an outlaw. He hoped, however, thosome legis lative remedy wield be • provided to -meet these difficul ties het it was his duty to expound tholaritis it was, and net as he could wish into be . Mr. Baron PARKE said the real question for the decie sion of the Court e was, whether the words " oh the true faith of a Christian" were part of the oath, or merely the ceremony or mode of administering it. Ho could not bring himself to believe that these words were ever intended to be omitted, or that the oath was meant te-,be taken in any other way' except on the true faith oti a Chris tian:, None but Christians, , in.., his opinion, could take the oath. The truth was, that the oese of a Jew was -h0 more th oug h t o f when the statutes were passed than that of a Maheixodan or, a Pagan. Themords omitted Cle a rly formed part of the matters sworn to and that , ba hig ao. he was obliged to , come to the decision that ant the irf defendant, e or; The h t a h te te hw 4 : b dv c rt ib a a t i i a : ,ne e d . not properly fallen by the BARON .. believed that the object of the a t l h l e p ju s t 6 ir d t s was i li o o to omit or odi to its hoboes: f what was just o r ee n .Y'amge, t 'e c Ipignisla"th wasncri:ubelY consciences of Je - g at '- -89a accordinge4eMmodate it.to the bfexprful_tictiatlay denomination.

He then left her again, saying thitt he was going after some money, and would return shortly. He did not do so, and as she and her family were without the means of existence she was obliged to go to the parish for support. On the 3d of April she received 201. tram defendant, and out of that she had to pay 9/. for arrears of rent and 101. to her son's master, in part p4ment of premium of apprenticeship. She and her children were now in the workhouse. Lacey' proved taking the defendant into custody, and said that the money named by the woman was seat atter the warrant was taken out. The woman was much in debt at the time, and when ho went to see her, she and her children were in great distress. Lacey added that he - found 9/. and a gold watch on the defendant. In reply to Mr. HARDWICK, the defendant said he was fornierfy butler to the 'ate Sir Herbert Jenner. Fest, and was now out of place. He was. willing to give his wife 54 out of the 91., and allow her 12s. a week. This was all he could do at present, but as soon as he got another situation he would increase the amount. Mr. HARDWICK thought this a fair offer, and directed the case to stand over till the arrangements were com pleted to the satisfaction of the parish authorities. AMERICAN NEWS.

ROYAL I TALIAN OPERA. Donizetti's I Martini w as again put off on ,Saturday night, in consequence o f the continued hoarseness of 'ramberlik. The 6 'onnambula was substituted, with Castellan for the her o i ne, and a new tenor of the name of Galvani, from the S ca l a, for the Elvino. The organ of Signor Galvani is soft and southern in quality, but greatly deficient in volume and resonance, and after being accustomed to listen to Tamberldc, or Ander, it sounds flat and ineffective. The nearest approach to an effect was in those passages which required delicacy and tenderness. He possesses considerable skill in the management of a voice origi na ll y deficient in flexibility, and by his perfect savoir faire may prove highly use f u l in the operatic company of Covent Garden. Madame Castellan's Amina is well kn own . This accomplished vocalist was in her best voice on. Saturday night, and was tumultuously applauded in the finale " Ah non giunge.,, She might, without any impropriety, have construed the demonstration into an encore, but she chose the modest cou , se, and simply made her obehance.

London Terminus; April 19, 1852. OE OF MISS VINCENT. The marriage of this lady, the proprietress of the Victoria Theatre, has been attended with the most unhappy circumstances. She selected for her partner in life Mr. Benjamin Crowther (late of Astley's); a fine handsome-young man of eight-and -twenty, who, : •iinving seceded from Mr. Batty s Amphitheatre, was starring in lifazeppa and other hippodramatic spec tacles at the Victoria. The courtship was but of abort duration, and the preliminaries for the wedding soon arranged. The marriage took place on a Se ttirday, at Trinity Church, Carlisle-lane, Lambeth, :and the "happy pair" left town immediately after the 'ceremony to spend the " honeymoon " at Brighton ; 'brit their happiness was soon disturbed, for on the following Thursday, on their return to their resi dence, Barkbam-terrace, St. George's-road (opposite Betblem Hospital), the bridegroom was seized with a brain fever, attributed by his medical attendants to over-excitement. It was reported at the time that he was compelled to be placed under restraint in a public institution. This was untrue. But, melancholy to state, it is now the fact, Mr. Crowther is an inmate of a private lunatic asylum at Peckham. The fever hay having subsided, he became in a low and depressed, state of mind, and at this time a settled melancholy per vades; him, notwithstanding the most eminent physicians 'have, been consulted, and every means adopted, to arouse him. fromhis hypochondriacal p )s it l o c. Mr. Crowther was-for many years a member of the orps dramatique of Astley's, and is much esteemed by a Wrgei circle of professional and private friends. 'Miss Vincent, on the demise of Mr. Osbaldiston, became possessed of the Victoria Theatre, and like Wise the bulk'of his; fertune, which was settled on her.and her daughter, Miss - Beatrice Osbaldiston, a young lady islicut eighteen - independent of which Miss Vincent bad realized a - handsome competency by her profes sional exextions... The at:flit:6°n of her husband, as may be imagined, is a source of great sorrow to her, and his family - .=—Sunday Paper. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF TEM Ross AND FOREST OF I DEAN IiANK,..AND Loss OF LIFE. On Saturday the fire ohiCes in the_City received accounts from their agents at. Ross, ;in Herefordshire, of a calamitous fire occuring in that town the, previous morning. by which the 'banking housrOif W. and R. Hall, known as the Forest Of Dean Bank, was utterly destroyed, besides the adjoining housee being severely damaged. The bank was situated in New-Street, and the upper portion of the capacious premises was occupied by _the family of Mr. INleeton, a partner. The fire was first discovered about four o'clock in the morning, the inmates being aroused by persons in the street, and they found the staircase in flames from the bottom. Fortunately for most of them some painters had been employed on the premises, and, had-left one of their ladders against the front of the; house, by means of which they all managed with much diffidulty to reach the street, with the exception of one of the female domestics, a girl between 17 and 18 years of age, who, we regret to state, perished in the flames. There wava '1 .rga amount" sin gold and bank notes in the b ;nk, ~which i with the books of the firm, were in a fire-proof box, and ehscaped. The body of the, unfortunate sufferer has been ciug out of the ruins. FATAL COLLISION IN TIIS CHANNEL —A most disastrous collision, resulting in the lo3s of a Dutch ship and most Of her crew, was announced at Lloyd's on Saturday. It took place on Friday morning, :in" the Channel, off tie Bill of Por;land. , The - Triton, Baker master, bound from Cardiff to Bremen, was brought up in the •Chissel Cove, a good anchorage on that - line of coast, and while in that position a Dutch trader, -name at present not correctly ascertained, but belonging to Rotterdam, .and bound to Liebau from Liver pool, in working up, ran with -tremendous force into . the Triton, which was taken amidships. She sustained consi- AVrable damage: by the collkion, and her escape from imme diate foundering - maY be deemed most providential. The Dutchinan was low in the water, and her' hull receiving a fearlul'shaking, - she.'inStantl . V began to fill. As quickly as practicable, the Triton got clear of the Dutchman, and the latter very shortly afterwards' went down in deep water, with (is was supposed at the time) every soul on board. It has since been ascertained, however, that a pilot-boat from Portland succeeded in picking up the masterand his brother, but the remainder of the unhappy . creatures who comprised the crew, some six or seven, perished. After great difficulty the Triton, by the aid of a boat's crew from Bridport, was got into that-harbour. The Dutchman is stated to have been insured. • COMIC SINGING.—Mr. Holding, an Irish comic singer of genuine homotir and talent, has been lately giving some musical, entertainments at: the Surrey aide of the water. Thy accent` and stock of mirthful songs pos sessed by Mr. Holding constitute him a valuable acquisition to day_ -alba metropolitan harmonic establishments. : _PARISH__OF CLERKRNWELL.—An exciting contest, of three days' duratiun has taken place in this parish, for the effice ot vestry clerk. At the final close of the poll on Saturday, the numbers were—for Mr. Wakeling, solicitor (who had served the office for 10 years), 1,415; for Mr. :51arsh (a non-professional man), 1,265; for Mr. IVilkin, so- Bator, 170; majority for Mr. Wakelihg over Mr. Match, 150.

SPORTING NOTES. No. CCVII. THE YORK SPRING MEETING, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—One of the dullest meetings at Newmarket on record was wound up on Friday, by the realisation of my predictions in every instance. The Nabob had his race in hand all the way for the 100 Son. Stakes, win ning with considerable ease by a length; the queer pinned Sackbut obtaining the s econd place, beating Ambrose by four lenehs. How the " talent " came to back Ambrose against his field of two, when he i 3 to all intersts and perpoies dead amiss, and for what reason they laid 3 to 1 against The Nabob is a complete puzzler to me, as the winner was in excellent health and condition, and, notwithstanding his being an infe rior animal, could have given Sackbut and the dead amiss Ambrose seven pounds each and a beating. The Prime Minister party, as I stated in my Notes of Thursday, were tolerably confident LI pulling through for the Port Stakes with their short•distanced son of Melbourne and Pantialonade; it was a near affair, how ever, with twist:mine, as the Minister only won by a head. Midas, like unto Lord Exeter's horse in the pre ceding race, was dead amiss, and finished a bad third and .last.. _ Sophistry walked over for the .50 sow. Stakes, and so ended the Craven meeting of 1852. It has not been without its effects on the future, though comparatively unimportant when placed- beside former meetings. Lapidist's defeat in the race for the Column Stakes, and Father Thames's unexpected victory in . the New market Handicap, have been the most important results of the.week's racing. The. ' former at' once decided the fate of the whole of Lord Ribblesdale'a Derby stud ; per haps with the exception of Kingston, who it seems is likely to take th e pl ace i n the betting lately vacated by his stable companion. for since the defeat of Lapidist, Kingston has been much more inquired after than he was before, notwithstanding he was reported to be at the least some six or seven pounds inferior to the defeated of the Column. Day's party made an awful mistake in not trusting Father Thames with a sprinkling of the circulating medium ; this was owing to their en tertaining a rather low estimate of his chance, fur had it not been for his owner, wbo will start his horses good or bad, ho would not have been sent to Newmarket ; but as Sir H. Pigot gave orders for his journey to head quarters, the stable evidently was of opinion that they_ might as well make use of him to draw a line' for their Chester Cup horse; which feat Father Thames accomplished for them in first-rate style through Ofa cious, and so enabled them to get the length of the Metropolitan winner and Chester Cup favourite, Stilton - . The fields for to-morrow's races at York are; as near as I can ascertain; as folloWs: Craven Stakes, one mile—lris or Croupier, Lady Agnes, Radulphus, and Peniston. . The foar, it is not at all improbable, will pass the post in the order placed, the ue furkngs 44 yards—Lamb., Mabell a , S t. Andrew, ton, judgment of Bader on • Lo r d D er b y ' s horse telling its o wn tale at the finish. M arson will ride Radulphus. Dick Turpin, and perhaps Gr a p es h ot and Plunderer. Grapeshot's running being somewhat d u bi ous, I must,' Strait judackSetk tall'eti Qveen in his absence, go for the QUEEN or LarariTora, and ex pect The Z to see Lord Eghnton's Strait J ac k et i u the third place, if no nearer. The Flying Dutchman's Handicap, two mires—V s t. tigeur, Elthiron, Haricot, Lough Bawn (d), Aehryanthes, Prior of Lanercost, Harp, Goliah, Sa yll Warfoot colt, and perhaps Bardolph Euphony, and Little Fawn. F or the first time this season in a great Handicap, the three years old will, I think, be'deleated, as they run at a i great disadvantage with their elders. The winner, ex will be found in HARICOT or ACELYRANTS pect, ES and by /L that Voltigeur, notwithatanding his being tooled_ fancy arson, will not be nearer than third. Those who long shots or outsiders, will find a couple of capital in ves.tments if they go to the post in form, in Harp and Goliah, both possessing a very good chance of doing the mysterious or unexpected win. Lucio, I believe, will nut run for this - event, and Loogh Bawn is very doubtful. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTII, APRIL 18.—A large and influential meeting or both army and navy offictrs attenled RE the Royal Naval College on Saturday, the Commander-in- Chief; Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, in the chair, , when it was determined to denominate the meeting as " The ' United Service Birkenhead Relief Committee;" and, consequently, a number of the military officers of the Portsmouth garrison joined the committee, and primary steps were taken for distributing the funds so soon as cases of distress could be •obtained. Subscriptions are flowing in. The committee meet again next Saturday, after which time it will probably meet on %Vednesdsys and Saturdays. The following acting lieutenants, mates, and midship. men passed for lieutenants at the Royal Naval College, last week :—Messrs. Norie, Singer, Irvine, Broad, Mon tagu, Ssumarez, Lomax, Young, Robinson, and Clutter buck. The following officers also passed in navigation for the rank of master on Friday :—Xiesrs. H. Goldsmith, H. J. Ley, G. A. Macfarlane, C. P. Hodges, R. M. Curry, and J. K. Richards. The following young gentlemen have passed at the College for entry into the navy as cadets, and have joined the Victory pro tern.:—Masters H. Fox, S. 11. Davies, L. Loraine, H. E. Wood, F. C. Grove, J. S. Trotter, and C. R. Macdonnell. Parente Should look to the education of those children intended for the navy. On Friday a most respectable boy,".who doubtlessly was considered by his fond parents " well educated," was turned back in his examination, owing to his deficiency in the common matter of English spelliog, an item no doubt overlooked by his parents in the desire to give him a superficial knowledge of something less useful, and as this rejection is fatal to his entry into the service, he has lost hie chance and must seek other employ. Mr. Stafford, Secretary to the Admiralty, visited the Excellent on Friday, on his return from Devonport, in the Retribution steam-frigate, and witnessed practice from that ship. On Saturday he went over the deck yard, and ia the evening entertained a select circle o ten at the Quebec hotel. He returned to London to-day The Locust steam-vessel, Lean-Commander Day, grounded in the River Plate, on her way down the river, on the 3d of February, but was got off without damage. A court of inquiry assembled on board the flag -chip upon the occasion, but the Commander and Master were acquitted of all blame. Her Second-Master, Mr. Payne, had the day of the battle between the forces of Urquiza .and Roses, ventured very imprudently too near to Sautes Lugaras, and received a shot in his arm, from the effects of which he died the same night. Mr. Whitehouse, Second-Master of the flag-ship, has been appointed to the vacancy, and Mr. Ryan, master's-assistant of the Rifleman, is promoted by the Admiral to the rank of Second-Master. Mr. W. IL Clarke, Assistant-Surgeon of the Centaur, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Henderson, in the River Plate, is appointed to the Locust, vice Mr. Patrick, who was to leave the Brazil station in the first vessel for England. Mr. Watson, Second-Lieutenant of the Centaur, joined her prior to the 3d ult. from England. The Rapid, 8, Commander Blane, arrived at Rio from England prior to the 16th ult., and was to sail on the 18th for the Cape of Good Hope and India. The Driver, 6, eteam-sloop, Commander Johnson, arrived at Rio on the 14th ult. from the Pacific, and was to sail for England on the 18th. The Bonetta, 3, Lieutenant Wake, and iron steam tender Harpy, put to sea from Rio on the 12th and 14th ult., to cruise for the benefit of their health, the yellow fever having broken out on board. The Furious screw steam-sloop was taken into the steam basin yesterday. The Bulldog steam-sloop is having her boilers taken out and undergoing an examination and repair. Messrs. Fox and Henderson are erecting a new smithy in this dockyard, which is progressing very rapidly, and will be a very handsome looking building when finished. Its dimensions will be about 210 feet square by 60 feet high, having a chimney at each corner 100 feet high. _ The Champion Handicap, one mile—lris or Croupier ; Penang, Oxtoro Blue, Prince Caradoc colt, Miss Lydia sight of four black hor ses filly, and one of-S te bbi ngs 's.

Letters from China inform us of a disastrous accident to the Sphynx steam-sloop, Commander Shadsvcll, and the Contest, 12, Commander the Hon. J. W. S. Spencer On the 21st of January these vessels were prodeedinc; into the Bay of Sheipoo in search of pirat es ( o f whos e doings and whereabouts they had received official notice), the Contest in tow of the Sphynx, when tne latter struck on a rock not laid down in the charts, The shock was terrific, carrying away entirely her false keel and forefoot, while the Contest ran into her with such force and violence as to knock her off or over the rock, making at the same time a clean sweep of all the after upper works, and carrying away the mizenmast, while she lost her own jibboom, figurehead and cutwater, and sprung her bowsprit and foremast. In consequence of this misfortune the Sphynx had to go to Whampoa to be docked. We regret also to add that the smallpox had broken out on board her, and that several men and (,fficers, including both lieutenants, are laid up with it, and the gunroom steward had died from it. The Lily, 18, Commander Sanderson, has hal a " brush" with a piratical junk, which she sent to the bottom with upwards of 80 people on board; her own casualties in the engagement were two men wounded. The Cleopatra, 26, Captain Massie, was expected at Ilong-Kong from the Straits, at the last advic , ,s, and he would remain senior officer during the summer. Lieutenant Pasco, of the Royalist, has been invalided home. The Hastings, 72, Rear-Admiral Austin, arrived at Singapore from Hong-Kong, en route to Rangoon, on the 27th of February, and the Salamander steam-sloop, Commander Ellman, on the 24th of February. Both were at Singapore on the sth ult. The Penelope steam-frigate, Commodore Bruce, Com mander-in-Chief on tho Coast of Africa, was at St. Vin- cent, Cape de Verds, on the 23d ult., and sailed fur the coast that day. The Polyphemus steam-sloop, Commander Phillips, left Madeira on the sth instant, fur the coast of Africq. The Retribution, Captain Warden, having curled, left this harbour on Saturday morning and proceeded down Channel to either relieve the wind-bound ships at the chops of the Channel, or otherwise, in case or meeting with the Queen, with Admiral Sir W. Parker on board, to assist and tow her into Spithead. . - The Simoom, iron troop-steamer, Captain Kingcome, embarked late on Friday evening 1 officer and 82 men of the 20th Regiment, 2 officers and 84 men of the 23d Regiment, and 2 officers and 42 men of tho 54th Regi ment. She sailed for Queenstown this day (Sunday) at noon, where she is to receive 2 officers and 52 men of the 66th, and 1 officer and 92 men of the 71st Regiment, with which detachments she will procted direct to Que bec, from whence she will bring home a regiment. Most of the Aretbusa's seamen having returned from a fortnight's leave, that ship has commenced fitting. She got up her topmasts on Friday, and yesterday (Satur day) bent sails. The Furious, steam-sloop, was removed from the steam basin to the old basin on Friday, and is to be further advanced. The Leopard, steam-frigate, has been brought into dock.

SHEERNESS, APRIL 18.—Her Majesty's screw steam frigate Horatio, 22, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, took in her.powder on Thursday, and her crew received three months' wages in advance. She was inspected the following morning by Captain the Hon. Montagu Stop ford, flag-captain to Vice-Admiral the Hon.

Commander Skipwith, who was appointed to succeed Captain Drake in command of the Conflict, has arrived in England, be having missed his ship in conAquetce of her having boen ordered off the station to convey to England the ex-Dictator of Buenos Ayres. Drake, the sergeant of marines who was saved from the wreck of the Birk( nhe acl, and who assisted Cornet Rolf to a raft, had, we hear, some time since been brought under the favourable notice of the Admiralty for his gallant conduct on the coast of Africa while on board a prize slaver, on which occasion he was severely wounded. We are informed that another expedition is about to be dispatched to Melville bland, with the view either of meeting or anticipating the arrival there of Captain M'Clure, and of these iu the Investigator from Behring's Straits. Two ships, it is stated, will be got ready for this service, the commands of which will, on the nomina tion of Sir E. Blcher, be conferred on Commander In glefield and Mr. Allen, master. The smallpox has broken cut on board her Majesty's steam-frigate Dragon. The clerk has been attacked by it, and sent to the naval hospital at Lisbon. Cnatham Garrison.—Detachments, consisting of up wards of 2,000 men, from the several depots of regi ments stationed in India, are under orders for embarka tion to join th e h ea d- quarters of their respect i ve corps. Woo'Arica', APRIL 17.—The Black Engle steam vessel, Master Commander John Petley, arrived at Woolwich on Fri , lay evening from attending on the Lords of the Admiralty at Portam ‘uth. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander ll. Allen, retur ne d to W oolwich on Friday forenoon, from attending on Lieutenant -General Lord • Hardinge, C.C.8., on a visit to the fortifications at Portsmouth and others in that quarter. SUNDAY EVENING.—The Queen's barge has been placed under orders to be kept itt readiness, and the Monkey is to have her steam up at Woolwich to morrow morning, to tow the barge to Greenhithe in the event of her services being required to convey any royal party on board the vessels of the Arctic expedition. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. WOOLNTICII, APRIL 17.—The North Star, Commander Pulley, left Woolwich this morning, towed by the Adder steam-vessel, and arrived at Greenhithe about two o'clock P.M., where the whole of the vessels of the Arctic expedition are stationed to have their compasses ad ju,ted by Captain Johnson. The Assistance, Captain Sir Edward Belcher, C. 8., has now all her stores on board and stowed away, with the exception of a number of boxes which had been delivered during the morning, each box containing four cylinders, and each cylinder 201bs. of powder, for blowing up the ice when required to force a passage, through Wellington Channel, to the open water seen in Victoria Channel by parties em ployed in the recent expedition, after the three graves had been discovered on Bach), island. These cases have been supplied by the Ordnance department from the Royal Arsenal, where they were made for the special purpose, and will be discharged by means of galvanic batteries supplied to the expedition for service in tue Arctic regions. The Ordnance department have also supplied 300 whale rockets, weighing one and a-halt pounds each, and two superior -made rocket tubes for firing them by means of percussion locks and percussion -quill tubes. One of Greener's harpoon guts, with percussion locks, has been mounted on the gunwale of the Assistance, and turns in any direction, being fitted with a swivel near the stern of the vessel. A look-out was kept by Com mander Richards, on board the Assistance, from ten o clock, A. at , until the snivel of the three o'clock P.M. train of the North Kent Reilway, as it was expected that a Neopolitan Prince, brother of the King of Naples, would visit the vessels during the day; and Lieutenant Gore, flag-lieutenant to Commodore Henry Eden, was in attendance at Greenhithe-pier, in the barge of the Fisgard, with ten rowers, to row him on board the vessels of the Arctic squadron; but as he did not arrive, Sir E. Belcher left for town by the half -past three o'clock up train, and Lieutenant Gore, with the barge, was towed back to Woolwich. There was also an impression in town that his Royal Highness the Prince Consort and his Serene Highness Prince Leopold of Saxe Cobeurg would visit the ships and steamers of Sir E award Belclaer's expedition previous to their departure fur the Arctic regions. The gallant officers now on the eve of their departure have but one wish ungratified, and that is that her Majesty the Queen may be graci ously pleased to pey a short visit to the vessels of the expedition previous to their departure from Greenhithe. By the desito of the naval authorities, Mr. Watkins, manager of Mr. Beard's photographic establishment, sent one of the operators to Greenhithe to-day for the pur pose of taking portraits of the officers of Captain Sir Edward Belchsi's expeclaion, and the following had their portaits taken on the deck of the Assistance, under highly favourable circumstances, by the photographic process, the sun shining with unclouded brilliancy, and all the officers being in their uniforms, and evidently in excellent spirits:—Captain Sir Edward Belcher, e.g., commander of the Arctic expedition ; Commander George H. Richards, Lieutenant W a lter W. May, Lieu tenant John P. Cheyne, Master John F. Loney, Surgeon David Lyall, M.D,, Clerk in Charge James Lewis, and Midshipmen Pym and Grover. The officers of the Re solute, the North Star, the Intrepid, and the Pioneer are also all to ba taken by the photographic process previous to their departure. The subject of the two ships said to have been seen on an iceberg by the captain of the crew of the Renovation was alluded to on board tha Assistance to-day, and Sir Edward Belcher expressed his belief that two ships had been seen, not on but beyond the iceberg, an d that they were not the Erebus ana Terror, and that no reliance could be placed on the pos_ition or_ correctness of the havetic regions,taken his n pursuedat was wh t a a objects seen over a field of ice.

The building will were l n occupa• a it wards of fi ve acres in extent, the whole of w ohicfslitehweoiflmluoPbset surrounded by a wall twenty feet high. The Corn Exchange will be, as it were, the basis of the building, owing to the magnificent and capacious halls and galleries it contains, and in addition to this there will be other large and ornamental gal eries abutting from the main edifice. The general ap pearance of the buildings wilt consequently be ornamental as well as substantial, and esp,cially as the whole is to be en circled. The immense number of applications almost hourly being made from every part of Leland for space to exhibit proves at once how warmly the undertaking is es • poused on all sides. The latest donations are—Mr. Peto, M. P., for 25/. ; Mr. Brassey for 2 1.; Mr. Herbert Ingram, proprietor of the Illustrated London News, for 101.; Mr. Roney for Si., &c. &c. Sir Joseph Paxton has also written to the honorary secretary a letter in which he mentions the warm interest he takes in the success of the Cork Exhibi tion. It will be confined exclusively to Irish productions. The new beet-root sugar manufacture and the" sewed mus lins" will form prominent objects of interest, as they pro mise to be highly important elements of future employment in Ireland. Blaclise tias promised to paint an original pic ture for the Exhibition. lklaDo wall will exhibit his "Eve" that attracted such admiration at the Crystal Palace last year, and also an original group; Foley, twe original groups. Contributions in art are also expected from Elmore, Moore, J. E. Jones, Richard Doyle, and numerous other distin guished Irishmen resident in England. DEATH OF DR.

ELECTION FOR CHURCHWARDEN.—This parish has been fur the last few days a scene of considerable ex citement, in consequence of the Parochial Association having brought forward a candidate in opposition to the gentleman proposed by the old party, and every eff It has.been used to secure his election, but all to no pur pose; for at the close of the poll on Friday afternoon be was in a minority of 143, the numbers being for Mr. Southgate 1,024, and for Mr, Howe 881. The result was received with much cheers, arid the church bells rang merry peals at infervals . from four o'clock until past twelve at night; indeed so great was the joy of the more respectable portion of the inhabitants that the subject of the conquest over the association (which has long ceased to be held in much respect) was made the theme of yepeated observation. - At the termination of the poll, Mr. Southgate, accompanied by a host of friends, went to his committee room at the Horns Tavern, Hackney road, where he was received with great applause.—J.
