CAPTURE OF BASSEIN. (From the London Gazette of last Evening.) ADMIRALTY, Auc. 6, 1852. Dispqtehes have been received at thin office,, from Com m-dore Lambert, of her Majesty's ship Fox, of which ha following ilrP OPERATIONS IN BIIRMAH. No. 27. Fox, at Rangoon, May 11, 1852. Sir,—l have the honour to request you may be pleased to inform the Lords of the Admiralty that, on the 2d instant, I dispatched the Honourable East India Company's steamer Phlegethon, commanded by Mr. G. T. "%blot; and the barge of her Majesty's ship Fox, in charge of Acting Lieutenant John R. Lawrence, to the great entrance of the Irrawaddy, to try and effect a pas sage through the Paelang branch. 2. On the morning of the 11th the barge returned; and Mr. Lawrence reported that they had advanced as far as Yangernsiah, where the water shoaled so consider ably that the Phlegethon could not cross into the Pan tang branch; the barge, however, was enabled to do so, and proceeded down into the Rangoon river, in order that I might be !Repainted with the result, and the cause of the steamer's long absence. It i 3 with much satisfaction I learn that the object of the exp , dition has been accomplished. 3. I have further to request you may be please :1 to in form their Lordships that, on the Phlegethon and the Fez's barge arriving off Yangernsiab, they discovered the Governor at Dalla, retreating with eight armed heists; chase was immediately given, and on coming up - with them the enemy ran on shore, leaving their boats, in one of which was the Governor's wife, with her atten dsnts; they also abandoned a quantity of treasure, and moat of their arms. The treasure captured amounted to eleven thousand rupees; the arms, which consisted of muskets and swords, were destroyed; and the boats, with the women, were allowed to proceed.—l have, Btc., GEORGE LAMBERT. A. Stafford, Esq., MX., &c. CAPTURE OF THE . 2 CITY 8 OF BASSEIN. No. Her Majesty's Ship Fox's Boat, at Bassein, May 20, 1852. Sir,—l request you may be pleased to inform the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that the Lieute aant-General commanding the forces in Barmah, having communicated his wish to make an attack on the c ity of Bassein, I placed a squadron of four, steamers at his disposal for the service. 2. On the morning of th e 17 t h instant, Lieutenant- General Godwin, C. 8., the Commander of the Forces, embarked in a squ a d ron w ith f our hundred of her B l a jesty's Slat Regiment, three hundred of the 9th Regiment Madras Nativ e Infantry, sixty Sappers and Miners, the Royal Marines, and a detachment of seamen, with a field gun from her Majesty's ship Fox. , ~.. 3. I left th e nava l force at Rangoon i n charge of uoin mander Tarleton, with the Fox, and went with my boat steamer I hoisted my broad to the Tenasserini, in which 1 in the aft ern oon k , a t tevo o c.oc pendant, and put to sea wizh the steamers naoied in the enclosure marked A. The Lieutenant-Genera l accum p anied me in the Tenas serim. 4. On the evening of the 18th we anchored o ff t h e i.,lsnd of Negra is at the entrance of the Bassein River, where the Pluto joined us. I bad sent her on from Rangoon a day previously, as h er sma ll power could not have enabled her to keep up with the steam frigates. on thel9th 5. At daylight . the squadron weighed, and proceeded up the river; the Pluto, from her light draught, being ahead, showing the soundings. The Tenasserim led, followed by the Sesostris and Mozuffer at half a cable's length distant. 6. At a few minutes after four o'clock in the after noon, the fortificcions of Bassein appeared in sight, consisting of a very extensive mud fort and a long line of stockade, on the left bank, on which the city stands, and a strong stockade round the Pagoda, with a brick parapet fronting the river. Then, in an admirable pwi tier' on the right bank, stood a very large stockade, mounting several cannon. Tree enemy permitted the squadron to approach un molested. 7. At half-past four, when abreast the stockades, I made the signal to anchor; immediately afterwards Lieutenant-General G o dwin expressed his wish to land the troops, which cuss effected in perfect order in a very short period. They had scarcely formed under the Lieutenant-General's directions, when a heavy fire was opened both with cannon and musketry from the vari ous stockades, which was instantly answered by a cheer from the party landed, who stormed and carried the Pagoda. As soon as the enemy commenced firing, the ships opened their fire on the different batteries. Observing the stockade opposite the town had been silenced, I direr,..tcd Commander Campbell, of the SPsos tri4, to land with the boats of his own ship, and the Me zuffer's, and to storm it, which he effected in gallant style, driving the Burmese from their guns, with consi dertsble loss to them in killed and wounded. Commander Campbell has called my special attentiln to Van zeal and activity displayed on this occasion by Lieu tenants Robinson and Lewis, of the Indian Navy. At half-past five I had the satisfaction of bearing ttit..t the last and most formidable of the stockades had been carried ; tat not without considerable loss on our part from the great resistance shorn by the enemy. Amongs, those I have to enumerate as sufferers on this occasion, I hays to 114S:130 Lieutenant George W. Rice, of her Msjesty's ship Fox, who received a severe and painful wound through the rigi:t band, whilst gallantly ',Zug' his party of searat-n into the stockade: and as this officer has been specially named by the Co.-acia.u.derin-Chief at the taking of Rangoon, I . . beg ► r,commend him most strongly to their Lordships' coasideration for promceion. I feel it my duty, also, to mention the steady conduct of the R:l7 Marines under the command of First Lieu tenant John Elliott; and I ctnnot conclude without ex pressing my bast thanks to Commanders Campbell and Hewett, ol the Indian Navy, for the skill and ability with which they brought their ships up a river, which has hitherto ecen but imperfectly surveyed for a distance of mare than sixty miles. Nor can I refrain from ex pressing how much I am indebted to Commanders Dicey and Barbank, of the Bengal Marine, for the assistance I received from them; and I attribute our being able to pet-term this service without accident, to the careful and judicious manner with which the commander of the Pluto went in advance and cenntannicated the soundings. My thanks are general to the officers and men who served ender me orders on this occasion for the steady, gallant, and cheer:id conduct with which they performed the duty. neither can I omit remarking that the most• perfect unanimity prevailed between the two services. 8. Since my last visit to Negrais, the old Governor of Seseein ]as been removed, and the Governmeat en trusted to another offier, who :arrived here from Ava, with foe thousand regular troops, which increased the strengtl of the gar r i son to six tho u san d , men. 9. have the h onour to forward herewith a list of ltillrd and 'wounded in the squadro n . The casualties among the troops am ounted to th ree men killed and five efficers, and seventeen men wounded. also enclose a return of the number of cannon oilfired from the enemy. 'W. And I bag permission to brine to their Lord atips' notice, Mr. Frederick Morg an , Assistant-Sur geon of her Majesty's ship Fo x , el, attended with the storming party, and whose kindness to the wounded on this oecesion, as well as his unremitti ng attention to in the x numerous sick, during the protracted stag of th e F o the Rangoon River, is deserving of every praise.

Tier Majest , 's Ship Fox's Boat, B isseie, 21st May, 1852 Sir,-11 , ferring to my dispatch, No. 28, of yesterday's date, I request you will inform their Lordships that after we had obtained possession of Bassein, I sent the Pluto a short distance up the river to endeavour to inter cept the retreating army. She returned this morning, and Com. Burbank acquaints me that he proceeded up the river above Bassein, about forty miles, that he com municated with the village of Mammoon, from which the inhabitants came off, and who informed him that one of the party then on board was a person in high com mand at Bassein during the attack, that he then arrested this person, and he has delivered him over to me, to gether with another officer of high rank. Commander Burbank having been informed that a Davy of the retreating force, in two boats, had that night left the village, he proceeded in chase, and succeeded in capturing one of the boats, in which ho found a quantity of arms and ammunition, which he destroyed; the troops landed, and fled into the jungle. The Pluto afterwards fell in with another portion of the defeated Burreeee, encamped, but who fled on being Observed, leaving their arms, all which have been de stroyed, as well as their barracks. The party of seamen from the Fox embarked in the Pluto to assist in these operations, under Mr. Lisboa, Midshipman. The Proserpine steam-vessel having joined , me from lloalmeia, I dispatched her with the Fox 5 marines to destroy some unoccupied stockades in the neighbourhood of the villag4 of Naputa, which was accomplished with out any opposition, ass isted by the villagers. The Lieutenant - G eneral intends leaving two hundred men of her Majesty's 51st, and three hundred of the 9th Regiment of M adras Native Infantry, to garrison Bassein, to which I have added the Sesostris steam frigate. The remainder of the troops embarked to day, and to-morrow the squadron will return to Ran goon.—l have, Sce., (Signed) GEORGE R. LAMBERT. OPERATIONS IN THE IRRAWADY. _ No. 31. Fox, at R:ippon, May 24, 1852. Sir,—ln continuance of my letter, No. 27, I have the ' honour to request you will inform their Lordships that the Phlegethon returned here to-day, having made a most successful expedition in conjunction with the barge of this ship, in charge of Acting Lieutenant Lawrence, which I had dispatched to join him on the 11th instant. While Commodore Niblett was waiting for sufficient water to get into Rangoon River, I directed him to re connoitre Donabew; be accordingly proceeded to that place, and found that the Governor of Dallah had fled, sad that this once famous stronghold was unoccupied and defenceless. The inhabitants seemed desirous of affording every assistance, and informed him that a con siderable force was collected further up the river, to which spot he also proceeded; and, at about 10 miles abive Donabew, near the tower of Sagadjee, he fell in with them. _ The Pnlegethon opened fire upon this force, consisting of about 5,000 men, which retreated and fell back upon Sarawah, a town 30 miles higher up the river. He af terwards ascertained that a portion of them crossed over to Hewsada, at the junction of the Bassein river. Commander Niblett informs me that, wherever the Phlegethon made her appearance, he was received by the natives with every demonstration of friendship; and an anxiety for him to remain and afford them protection from the marauders and Burmese troops.—l have, &c.

STATE OF TRADE' (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TIIESD AY.—.The advices received from the United States appear to be somewhat con flicting in their statements regarding c otton ; some of them representing the market as dul l, and prices as barely sustained; others speaking of increased life, with an upward bias in prices, The latter have influenced the Liverpool market so far as to in duce rather greater freedom in buying', yes terday's transactions amounting to 12,000 bales, and those of to-day to 7,000, at the full rates of Friday last. Our own market has been better than was expected. A slight advantage o n the side of buyers was looked for by many; but, partments of both yarns and goods , a g e t n a e k r i a n l g fi t r h m e n d e e s - s is found to prevail, and in some articles, particularly certain kinds of yarns, a dispositionto to thegreater tightness is observable. There are exceptions (as, for instance, in spionings specially adapted Indian trade, which remain flit) ; but that ten dency, on the whole, to a gradual gain in price which we have had to note for a length of time, is not unperceived to-day in the medium counts of twist and weft for home consumption, and even in the Germaa descriptions of twist ; whilst the finer spin nings still exhibit a more decided bias in that direction. From the continental houses the spinners find rather more inquiry. But still the operations of the day, though of fair, are not of great aggregate extent. For domestics the demand is growing, especially from the home buyers, who are also found b y the makers of shirtings and good printing cloths to be doing a not inconsiderable a mount of business in those fabrics. ROCHDALE, MONDAY._ We have had a very fair demand for low priced goods, but pieces of finer quality have not met with so ready a sale. Upon the whole there hss been an average amount of bu siness transacted at former prices. The wool dealers have light stocks on hand, and say they cannot re place those stocks to sell at the nresent price. MACCIAMELD TUESDAY.—the demand for silk manufactured goodsC is somewhat irregular; but, on the whole, the market appears to be in a more healthy state than it has been for some time past. The thrown silk market continues healthy, and trans actions of the past week have been to a fair extent, both for home and continental purposes.—Raw silk market : We have no particular feature to notice Prices are reported without any alteration.—The Macclesfield weavers are now without any trade re gulation as to prices paid, which are left to the La7ural inflaences •of supply and demand. Two attempts have been made to call meetings on the sub ject, but they have been treated with indifference by s generally na y t er o e rk r a : l m ti . y e j e as ir t b then li w A e L a r v r e A r l, g S en A e r r u a a ll n y.

AMERICA. The case of Thom is Kline, the Irish came before the Court on the 26th, but was again adjourned to the 28!h, on the application of the pri soner's counsel. After the adjournment of the case a very turbulent scene occurred outside the court. As each person came out he was assailed with groans or cheers, according to his participation in the matter. Mr. Edwards, counsel for the Bri tish Government, was groaned at, hooted, and as sailed with various expressions, such as " Ahl you can't hang him." "Look at th 3 British hangman." The counsel for the prisoner then addressed the mob, and endeavoured to calm the excitement, but without success. On the prisoner being brought out of court a serious riot ensued, in which police and po pulace received severe injuries. We extract the following account of the riot from the Area York Herald:— At a little atter one o'clock the chief of police, and Mr. Tani:fledge, the United Statee' Marshal, entered the court-room where the prisetter Kaine was kept in cus tody by Deputy-Merahal D'Angolis, assisted by officers Bowyer, Walling, and Keefe, of the chief's bureau. A brief consultation then took place between the Marshal and Mr. Matsell, and it was decided upon to walk the prisoner back to the Tombs under a guard of policemen instead of convoying hiM back in a car riage. Preparations were accordingly made. Captains Leonard, Ditohett, Hopkins, Brennan, Turnbull, Car penter, Lovett, Scatlitt Voorhies, Stevenson, and Hart received their orders from the chief. Each having their respective men under their command a line was termed by the police from the rear entrance of the court- room to Chambers-str eet, and there awaited furt h er orders. The fri e nd s o f Kaine b y th i s t i me b ecame aatia fied that the police intended to bring him out on that side of the park, consequently the crowd began to muster rapidly; and before the prisoner made his ap pearance there must have been at least 3,000 ec °pie, mostly Irish labourers, who, as it seems, bad ex pressly lett their work to engage in the attempt at rescue. At half -pest 1 o'clock the prisoner, who was not ironed in any way, was escorted by the arm by Deputy-Marshal D'Angelis and officer Bowyer, sur rounded by ot h er members of the police . Chief Mateell, Marshal Tallusadge, Deputy - Marshal Thompson, and others marched from the court-room into Chambers -street , but the moment they ap peared in the court-yard a diminutive-looking Irishman, with a short umbrella, which he brandished in his hand as he stood on the grassplat, exclaimed to the prisoner as he passed, •Ah I Tommy, are you there?' The pri boner recognised h im, an d l aug h e d. Th e li t tl e comical looking pe rsonage then gave a yell, sprang from t h e ground, and flourished the umbrella, wnich denote d t h e approach o f K aine, which signal was responded to by the multitud e ; and a general rush was made towards the spot where the prisoner was seen to be coming. Here the strong force of the police kept them back ; but with much didiculty was it accomplished. The chief of the police formed a square with the policemen, and in the centre placed the prisoner and the mar shals, guarded in the rear by a strong force ; P"ihlYi altogether, there might have been two hundred policemen. The officers having the imme diate custody of the prisoner were armed with six barrel revolvers, heavily loaded. The police generally were provided with a locust elub, and some with both pistol and club. The order given by the chief was to march slowly and steadily along. They did so, amid the Yelling and hooting of tee witd-looking labourers, who had evident!), trom appearances, beets treated with in toxicating drinks for theemore ready purpose of insuring a riot. In this way the police had not proceeded 100 yards along Chatneerea street, towards Centre -street, before they came to where a sewer had been lately con structed, and large piles of paving-stones were in the street. Hero the first violence commenced. Stones, of large us well as small dimensions, were hurled in among the police-officers, iefli6ting much injury. One stone passed close by the head of the marshal, and struck officer Pell, of the Ninth-ward, a violent blow on the back of the head, knocking him senseless in the street. The stones now began to fly in all directions in quick succession. Mr. Busteed, the prisoner's counsel, took the chief of police by the arm, having followed with the prisoner from the court-room, with a vise of accompany ing them to the Tombs, but the paving stones seemed to increase in their Might, and, as Mr. Busteed wished to retain his intellect fJr the benefit of his client, on Wednesday next, he exclaimed, at the top pitch of his voice, to the mote—' Stop, boys I stop from throwing them stones; lam here.' Just then, wharig-bang came several stories, not paying the least respect for person or parties, one striking the chief on the back, another on the cap; a third paseing close by the nose of the coun sel, who by this time thought that the better part of valour was to leave as soon as poesible, and accordingly he quitted suddenly, believing that the police could fight the battle just as well without him. Arriving at the corner of Chambers-street and Centre, the missiles thickened, no doubt with a view to break up the ranks of the police, and, as soon as they were in disorder, the char.ce of rescuing Kaine would be considered compara tively easy. At this point the police somewhat in creased their force, and, in so doing, came more sud denly upon some of the assailants, who had gone ahead. One strapping Irishman, who was stooping in the act of picking up a stone in each hand, was capsized by a po liceman's club, while another member of the police clubbed him on the rear of his person until he scram bled upon his feet, leaving both the stones behind him. Oonanag to the corner of Meade-street and Centre, a des perate attempt was made by the rioters to break up the pone-. A renewed force rushed from Re ede street, and a desperate contest took place. A platoon of police, headed by the chief, made a charge on the assailants, and in a few seconds they had felled to the ground with their clubs some thirty or forty. No time, however, could be allowed to make prisoners, as the whole force a as neces sary to protect the marshal. This was (lotto merely to get rid of some of the ringleaders who obstructed the street. They this fighting Centre -street to the Tombs, where another force was in waiting.B was continued at intervals up time there m us t h a v e been, at the lowest calculation, a cr ow d of some 4 000 persons . Th e wise ult with brickbats and st ones was k e p t u p until af t e r Kaine was cutely lodged i n tee pr i son. The captured prisoners charged with the riot and attempt to rescue a prisoner charged with felony, were conveyed into the prison yard, and, certainly, a bloody sight they exhibited. The injuries principally were scalp wounds, made by the policemen's elubs." SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER. NOTTINGHAM, M oNne.r.—Considerable sensation was created yesterday in tte neighbourhood of the Castle, in consequence of the body of another child being found in a dyke near the river been.

THE BERESFoRD BRIBERY CASE. DERBY, MONDAY.—The legal gentlemen engaged in preliminarily investigating the charge of bribery at the late election in this borough have, it is said, obtained a great deal of important evidence—among other things a number of letters from the Secre tary at War, in addi i et to the one already before the public, intimately connecting him with the recent corruptions, and evidencing a very close intimacy be tween himself and Frail of Shrewsbury. The evidence to be adduced before a commission of inquiry will unfol t many interesting 'facts, not the least interest ing of which will be the manner in which the doings of the corraptionists were brought to light. To show that no efforts calculated to frustrate the " knavish tricks" of their opponents were spared by the Libe rats, we may observe that detectives from London, ob tained at their instigation, were in the town, both during the election and for a week previous, disguised as commercial travellers, and were located at the hotels selected as headquarters by the Tory party. Most of the men employed in bribing :the electors were strangers from Nottingham and Liverpool, but chiefly from the town last named, where it is believed they had been practising their nefarious arts for some days pre viously in favour of Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie. Mr. Foreshaw, Mr. U"rsfall'a solicitor, has for some days been at the Ktng's Head Hotel in Derby, en deavouring to get up a counter cabs, but without success, the Liberal party having t h roughout stea dily abstained from illegal methods of obtaining votes. As soon as Sharrack, the man who impeached itis n the Tory ag e nts for having bribed him with two sove reigns, had finished giving his evidence , he was served with the notice required before recovering the penalty l a m n f i osed by th e recent A c t upon parties receiving bribes, beli eve d t hi s f oo li sh p r oceeding is likely to b e carriedcas exposingreg ar dless m an o y f the o ft h fact eir that own the friends plaintiffs i e n the - tainty o f having to contend with similar actions in re taliation.

John Thomas Parry, the printer who was charged at this court on Monday with attempting to commit suicide, was brought up yesterday before Alderman Cubitt, having been remanded for the attendance of the relieving officer and overseer of the West London Union to explain why they refused to relieve the family of the prisoner. Mr. Chamberlain, the relieving officer, appeared, and stated that the prisoner's wife called on him on Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock, but having visited No. 2, Holborn-buildings, the house in which she was living, on the Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri day previous, and not seeing any signs of the destitu tion and distress complained of by the prisoner and his wife, nor of the eight young children, he was in duced to doubt the truth of the wife's statement, and therefore told her to send her husband. Soon after she left the office he went to 2, Holborn -buildings, again, for the purpose of satisfying himself of their distressed state, and relieving them ; but he found no one in the rooms generally occupied by the prisoner's family, and on proceeding upstairs he only saw several of the other lodgers lying about in a beastly state of intoxication. If be had found the wife's circum stances in accordance with her statements, he would have taken the whole family into the union at once. The wife assured the Alderman that the statement was correct as to the destitute condition of the family, and added that she had lived five years in the same house, but was out when Mr. Chamberlain called. Alderman CUBITT asked the prisoner for whom he bad worked? The prisoner said he was working latterly for Messrs. Woodfall, but that he only earned 2s. 6d. during the whole of last week. Alderman CUBITT regretted that the prisoner mould have been placed in such a position ; however, some very humane individual, under the name of "Type," had forwarded 53. for his (the prisoner's) use. The money was then given to the wife, who ap peared very thankful for the trifling assistance, and the prisoner was then discharged. Mr. Chamberlain said he would immediately attend to the wants of the family. In the course of the afternoon Mr. Chamberlain again attended and said, that since he left the court in the morning, he had visited the prisoner's lodgings, and instead of eight children being at home and with out bread, he found only four, besides two who were earning 33. per week each. He had also ascertained that the prisoner was an idle, drunken, profligate character, and able to earn 21. per week, but when he did so he never brought home more than about 123. per week to his wife , who, at the time she ap plied for relief, he (Mr. Chamberlain) thought was partially intoxicated, and who, he had since ascer tained, had really been drinking. Jane Moriat, who had lived 11 years in the house adjoining, confirmed all that Mr. Chamberlain had stated, and &so said that the prisoner had plenty of work if he would only attend to it. Alderman CUB= said, he was convinced Mr. Chamberlain had done his duty, and his explanation had removed any reproach that might have been at tached to him in the first instance through an erro neous statement. After the Alderman had left the bench, a letter was received containing a donation of Li., from " E. H.," to be applied for the benefit of the prisoner and his family ; and, if found not deserving, to be appro priated to any other charitable use the Alderman might think fit. Two young men, printers, called at the court to inquire if the prisoner was a de serving object, as they were getting up a subscription in their office for him ; but, on being informed of what had transpired, they expressed an intention to assist the wife and children, but not to allow any money to pass through the prisoner's hands. With regard to the ss. from " Type," an acknowledgment was requested in the papers. HUSH EVIDENCE.

We rounded the Trafal gar in the following order—Phaeton, Vengeance, High flyer, Indefatigable, Encounter, Albion, Arrogant, Bel lerophon. Dauntless. The Phaeton was four minutes before Vengeance, which was half a minute before Highflyer. In beating up to windward the latter soon stepped to windward of all except Phaeton (White's frigate), and rounded the Admiral as fellows:—Phaeton, Highflyer, Indefatigable, Encounter, Vengeance, Albion, Bellerophon, Dauntless, Arrogant. In the afternoon the Admiral made signal for Phaeton and Highflyer to try rate of sailing. It was blowing fresh, and Phaeton carried away her maintop gallant yard, and other little mishaps. The Admiral then annulled the trial, but it was sufficienTly evident Phaeton had the best of it; however it was a great triumph for Highflyer. 19th—The Admiral employed the forenoon in exer cising the ships in different manoeuvres, forming orders of sailing, lines of battle, retreat, &c.; after it was over telegraphed " Higbflyer very well." PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—Niger, screw steam-sloop, Commander Heath, came into Portsmouth Harbour this morning to be examined; she will probably be docked to have her paddle-shaft examined. Vimiera, for Port Philip with emigrants, and the Marlborough, Indiaman, sailed yesterday morning for their destinations. The Irish steam-packet Foyle embarked a portion of the 7th Royal Fusiliers this morning from the dockyard, and left with them in the afternoon fur Plymouth. She will return on Thur.day for the remainder of the same regiment. It seems a very peculiar feature in the con ducting of the transport service of the State, that whilst men-of-war steam-frigates are lying ready for sea, but listlessly inactive, in the roadstead and in harbour, that the country should be put to the expense of hiring a mercantile trading steamer to do the national work. Does this matter lie with the Admiralty or the War office? The Wasp, 14, Commander Pritchard (acting), sailed from Spithead last night for Woolwich to refit, but whe ther before or after paying off is not known. A survey is being held on the Harpy iron steam-ves sel to-day. SHEERNESS, AUG. 10.—Her Majesty's ship Daphne, 18, Captain Fanshawe, had her powder taken oat yes terday, and left at noon, in tow of the African steam tug vessel, for Chatham, where she will be dismantled and paid off. Her Majesty's screw steam frigates, Amphion, 34, and Horatio, 22, and paddle-wheel steam -vessel, Cyclops, 6, have taken on board as much coal as they eau stow, so that they may be ready to proceed to sea, if required, at the shortest possible notice.

ERRATIIM.—In the analysis of the results of the second series of experiments on anchors (a report of which appeared in The Sun of Monday) Mitcheson and Sons' anchor was inadvertently stated to possess an advantage of sixteen feet holding power over Lieutenant Rodgers's Exhibition prize anchor, instead of six feet. APPOINTMENT. WooLwica, AUG 10 —Assistant-Surgeon Henry C. S. Wilson, M.D. (1847), to the Highflyer steam-sloop, at present on an experimental cruise. Rear-Admiral Sir Phipps Hereby, K.C.8., and Corn medore Sir Thomas Herbert, K,C.B, Lords of the Ad miralty, visited Woolwich-dockyard to-day, and were accompanied by Commodore - Superintendent Henry Eden and Mr. Lang, mater-shipwright, during a lengthened inspection of the Agamemnon, 90, fitting with engines of 600-horse power and screw propeller by John Penn and Son. The Tyne store and troop ship, Master-Commander Peter Wellington, is still at Woolwich refitting for further service, and has not left this port since she returned with old stores from Rio and the Island of Ascension. The Widgeon steam-vessel went dowdthe river a short distance this afternoon to try her engines, and, when completed, she is to be taken round to Pembroke to be employed as a tug vessel at that port, instead of the Prospero, now unfit for service. The works connected with the enlargement of the en trance to the outer basin are now nearly completed, and the caisson, after being lengthened 9 feet, or 4i feet on each side, has bren replaced in its former position, and a new platform raised over it. When necessary, two large volumes of water can be discharged at a considerable height through it from the water in the basin, which has the effect of deepening the entrance considerably, and the fall causes the current to carry off the mud deposits to a distance from the wharf wall. DETONPORT, MONDAY.—Lady Montague convict ship sailed this afternoon with 290 male convicts for Van Diemen's Land. A Mr. Wilkinson has been here to-day and visited the Belloisle, 72, Endymion, 44, and Andromache, 44, with a view to their being purchased for the merchant ser vice. A party of gentlemen from Lloyd's have visited the dockyard this afternoon. TUESDAY.—Orders have been received at the dock yard at this port to discontinue the sale of old rope. In the trial of a party at the recent Bximin assizes, on the charge of embezzling Queen's stores, the judge took oc casion to remark on the i m p ro p r i ety o f the Government disposing of articles of thi s d escript i on. T he present order is supposed to ha ve ar i sen out o f these obser vations. CXATHAM, MONDAY.—The Daphne, 18, Captain Fan shawe, came to Chatham this afternoon to be paid off. Sinbad naval lighter arrived on Saturday with stores from Plymouth and Portsmouth. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Carter held an I,,quest at the Hero of Waterloo, Waterloo-road, on the body of George Charrott, a coachman recently in the employ of Mr. Dimack, the banker, residing at Forest Hill. Mr. Charles Angell; the keeper of the Bridge coffee house, 52, Lower Marsh, said on Sunday last, between five and six o'clock in the morning, the deceased and his wife were brought in a cab to my house from the Tower street police-station, and I was induced to accommod' t them with a bed. They were shown to the back fi a rs e t ioor room, and the woman who was very tips y wag very much had a pair of as sisted to bed. After that the deceas e d and the man who had brought them to m y hous e left together; but who d ec eased soon after returned.

The ion which he applied to her eyes; he also admini s t ere d to h utmost solicitude a black aboutdr au g k h e t r . , a n Altogether and towards the evening a f ter having some tea she appeared to be getting a little better. Between 8 and 9 o'clock, whilst a noise in the kitchen at the back of the shop, I heard room above' rom some one falling heavily on th e 1 ' as f if o and on going to ascertain the cause or; I found the doorfastened on the inside. I then knocked; but not being able to get a satisfactory answer, and, fan cying the iv leads . omen might have hurt herself , I got on t he L of the back kitchen, and, opening the of window the room, entered it by that means. I then opened the door, and sung out to my servants to bring a light ; he, however, mistook what I said, and brought a knife. I took the knife from him and laid it on the washstand, and he immediately after brought me a candle. I then, with his assistance, lifted the woman into bed; directly after which, on looking round, I found the man suspended by a cord which he had taken from a box he brought with him, to a hatpeg on a cupboard door near the side of the bed. I imme diately cut him down, and sent for Dr. Sewell, wh o promptly arrived, and pronounced him to be dead. I also sent for the police, and they conveyed the woman to the Lambeth Workhouse, and the man was taken to the deadhouse. • By the CORONER—It must have been his own act; the woman could not help herself. The CORONER—Had she any knowledge of his being in the position yo u found him in? — No. I n answer to further veszions, th e witness stated that when deceased was talking about the conduct of his wife, he appeared very low-spirited, and even cried. The last time witness saw ( eceased alive and when he went up to the r was about six o'clock; 0001 on hearing the fall, ho i BIRTHS.
