Thomas Coombes , the brother of the ex-champion, has been before the public for many Years, has earned considerable reputation as a scalier and o arsman, and in the exercise of the prowess of the former Won the . beautiful boat given by Mr. Simpson, the pro prietor of Cremorne, last week. Chandler, the son of the veteran of that name, exhibited so much style and game during last summer as deservedly to gain many friends, some of whom backed him in the match of yesterday. The distance contested was from Putney to Mortlake, and eoonabes, although a stale man compared with his opponent, Was the favourite, Chandler won the toss of station, and took the best place. The start was extremely even, but was succeeded by Coombes taking a slight lead, which he in creased foot by foot at intervals throughout, winning by about two clear lengths, notwithstanding Chandler's very manly endeavours to cnange the fortune of the day. MANCHESTER UNITY OF Ono. FELLOWS. The Members of the St. Thomas's Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, having for some time intended to present a testimonial to Brother Wm. Henry Gros.* secretary to the lodge, last evening was appointed for the " presentation sup per," which was given at Brother Booth's, the White Horse cavern, North-street, Fitzroy-square. There was a very full attendance of the " brethren." Brother Webb filled-the chair, and in the course of the evening presented a very handsome silver snuff-box to the secretary, expressing, in a short pithy speech, the esteem of the brethren for that gen tleman, and their sense of his services to the lodge. The secretary replied with equal brevity; and the healths of the Chairman, the vice-chairman, Mr. Ewart, the worthy host, Mr. Booth, and others, were drunk and acknowledged. Atter passing the evening in the usual convivial manner, the bre thren separated at an early hour. ANOTHER ASCENT OF MR.

TIMES.--The true claims of patine men to public honour are extremely difenilt to csrefy. Even in re spect to the great character.) . the 1381 Century, there 13 hardly yet perhaps an agres ra ent of opinion. So rapid, in the French revolution, were the caangea of popular sentio e ent that the Con nohow was forced, to were dtceney's sake, to decree that no citizen should be re warded with national acknowiccigmente nil ten years eater his decease. The canonization of a Popish saint has been defered, we believe, by Pepal ordinances, for a still longer period of historical prooetion; and it needs eery little argument to show the propriety of the rule. Yet, though barely two years hosa elapsed since the death of Sir Robert Peel, we find his memory already honoured by the spontaneous tributes of a whole eeople, and ao uniform, indeed, has been the consent of admira tion, that the inauguration of the Tamworth statue, which we reported on Saturday, suggested no expression but that of general satisfaction. It was too late to descant on Sir R. Peel's public character. The eulogy had even already pronounced by the voice of the nation, and symbolised by the visible prosperity of the country. There still, however, remains a question for history to solve—how far has this gratitude been truly merited? wren the legislation of 1846 is reviewed by writers who will lock upon Free-traders and Protectionists as mere ab strain s y mbels of an ancient fowl, what will bo the judgment upon the statesman who, by his 07711 private resolution, char:feed the social and financial aspect of a mighty king. dons? It is hazardous to anticipate such a verdict, but speculations are tree, and we may venture on the expe riment. As to the essential wisdom of Sir Robert's policy there can be no longer any doubt. What he did it has proved impossible for his most inveterate antago nists to undo. Taney have not been lacking either dispo sition or opportunities. A strong Parliamentary party was formed and maintained upon the sleet() principle of reversing, modifying, or compensating the acts of 1846. In the won't course of constitutional occurrences they have come into power, and according to the ordinary measure of such power they ought now to be competent to realize their views. But never was the contrast: between party mechanism and public opinion more conspicuously displayed. While protection was marshalling its comba tants in Parliament, Free Trade was doing its work out of doors; and, before Mr. Disraeli could put the question in " constitutional" form, it had been definitely settled by the experience and acclamations of the people. Protectionists were fain to go to the hustings with the preliminary confession that protection was impos sible, and with solemn avowals that they entertained no intentions of reverting to nn exploded policy. Neither can it be said that these feelings were partial, for, al though everybody might not have been satisfied, the " contents" did clearly form so large a numerical majo rity of the people as to compel the recognition of states men. This, indeed, was the true point of Protectionist weakness. Considering how powerful a party Mr. Disraeli succeeded in maintainiog, and how nearly he could balance his adversaries in a Parliamentary divi sion, it was nothing less than the known convictions of the unrepresented masses which could have restrained his decision. There is no possibility of denying that the legislation of 1846 has prodigiously improved the finances of the kingdom, has been followed by a gene ral prosperity without example, and has hitherto so ap proved itself to the public mind as to be beyond reach of reversal. To the argument that this prosperity and satisfaction will soon have an end we can, of course, make no reply, for prophecies are necessarily uninstilable ; but we do not see how the most stubborn Protectionist can deny that the people, up to this moment, are so thoroughly satisfied with free trade as to render even Parliamentary strength completely powerless before public opinion. The legislation, therefore, of Sir Robert Peel was essentially Food—so good, indeed, that it wauld be difficulty to fled any single act of any legislator so wonderfully justified by its results. But, considering Sir Robert's circum stances and obligations, was his private resolution equally justifiable? The party of which he was the heed bad been formed, it cannot be concealed, on the general principle of protecting those lawn and ordi nances which he boldly overthrew. Was he warranted in thus " betraying" it? That the first duty of a Minister is to his country and the second only to his party, is what not even the moat bigoted partisan would venture to deny, and, if free trade is the blessing which it appears to be, it becomes a direct conclusion that any statesman would have been justified in securing such ad ventages to the country at any expense to his Parlia mentary followers. Parties, even in their most exalted sense, can be nothing but mere instruments of Govern ment, aitd, if the ends of Government are to be sacrificed to its instruments, it is hard to see what is gained by any Government at all. Sir Robert Poel sagaciously descried the practical necessity of the ti m e. Ho concluded that the corn-laws must be repealed, and that his conclusion was eminently just has been now proved, not only by the expe r i ence o f millions, but by the iuvoluntary confessions of his ene mies. He repealed them, therefore, in spite, ra th er t h an by the aid of his own party; but what becomes of a party's boasted claims if it can do nothing more than impede the exercise of superior wisdom? Is there any men in the kingdom who, after the budgets of the last six years—Mr. Disraeli's included—will say that Sir Robert Peel ought to have withheld these blessings from the country out of respect to party understandings? We might safely leave the question in this form, but we con ceive the occasion suggests a rather broader generaliza tion. In plain terms, we are much of opinion that all measures of large popular benefit—all measures which consult the advantages of the many at the expense of the few—mast necessarily be carried by some breach of Parliamentary punctilio. It has been said that everything should be done for the people, but nothing by them, and there is some truth, as all history teaches us, in the as sumption that the masses are not always the best judges even of their own immediate interests. This maxim of nolitictl science, therefore, would seem to warrant the confinement of representative institutions within narrower limits than pure theory would sug gest, but it can only be carried oat with practical success when the administrators of Government recollect their unseen obligations, and give due thought to the interests which are unrepresented by votes. It is cer tain that the House of Lords did not approve the Re form Bill, and almost as notorious, perhaps, that Sir Robert Pe e l' s House of Commons did not really de s i re the repeal of the corn-laws. In each case a measure o f real justi ce an d incidental necessity was carried by th e impulse of Mi n i s terial po wer a fter Ministers had be en impressed by the popular will. Of this impression the few and responsible members of a Government are naturally more susceptible than the numerous acid irre sponsible members of a Parliamentary Legislature, and they act accordingly. They are in advance of their party, and they discern duties to which their followers are blind. In the common course of events the machine may work smoothly, but at conjunctures of periodical recurrence even " great parties" must submit to be told that a still greater party demands the preferential atten tion of their leaders. The safety of our constitution lies in these its self-contradictions. Parliament represents the people not by arithmetical computation of votes, but because, yielding to impulses from above or without, it records occasional conclusions against its own views and wishes. For one of the greatest of these state opera tions the country has to thank Sir Robert Peel; for others it may posoibly have to thank the bitterest critic of Sir Robert Peel's measure. E PROTECTIONIST PARLIAMENT.

The only objection we have to offer to his statement is, that he assumes us, in the article to which ho replies, to be admitting certain things which we un questionably dil not admit. We said, more than once or twice, that we were allowing the Liberal writers and talkers to state the case in their own way; and that even as so stated we did not see how tbry could reach a satisfactory result. The reply of our Whig friend is as follows: •.................

But, it is asked, " If the majority cannot carry on the Government, how is the minority to do it?" We again repeat, that we do not admit the fact that Lord Derby will be in a mi.• nority.

DAILY NEWS.—Australia has decidedly risen in the emigrationmarket since the discovery of its gold fields. Looking heck on the emigration records of former years, it is clear that all the exertions of enthu siastic coloaisere to turn upon Australian shores a mo dicum of the stream of emigration flowing perennially from this country to America had been a comparative failure. Australia was distant—to emigrate thither appeared a step that could not be retracted—in short, the sum total of emigration to the southern colonies bore a smell proportion to the sum total of emigration to the United States and the Canada?. But the tales of " the diggings" have set all the world agog; and there is now such u squeezing and jostling to get off to that El Dorado that the emigrants' discomforts begin before they quit their native shores. Now we have no wish whatever to damp this spirit of enterprise. In Australia there is more elbow room than iu this our crowded old country; men can got on there with less of capital, with less of toil and heart-sickening hope-delay; we said so before the gold•fields were disoovered, and we say so still. But we would fain whisper in the ears of san guine adventurers that their prospects of attaining with comparative ease in that remote region to independence and effluence aro not mater i a ll y i ncrease d b y t h e discovery of gold d e p os it s there; and that they had better not make, as p oor Dick Whittington did, the gold too prominent and exclusive an object of their calculations for the future. Gold is douotlees a very pretty commodity. And in a country where there is abundance of other elements of wealth to be had in exchange for it, pockets full of gold are not to be de spised. But they who set their hearts on gold, and gold alone, if placed in a position to acquire and store up as much of it as their hearts can desire, are extremely liable to realise the fable of Midas—to starve among their stores of gold, and to deserve the ass's ears which sprouted out on the head of that sapient monarch whom the gods nursed by granting his prayer, that everything he touched might be turned to that precious metal. The mania will in time cure itself, but at . present the dis covery of the gold-fields has set the wits of all Aus tralia a woolgathering—in a mach less profitable sense than they were. before it was made. Some few years back the Australians were rich in herds and flocks, with unlimited range of pasture whereon new sto c k_ masters might rear as many sheep and cattle as they pleased. Wool, tallow, hides, and so forth, were produced in abundance to export in exchange for the necessaries, comforts, and luxuries which the menu fee tures of the mother country produce. Food was cheap and amply supplied ; wages were high; the small capitalist found easily a profitable investment; the penniless labourer soon earned enough to convert him into a small capitalist; the last relics of th e state of society produced by convict transportation were disappearing; Australia w a s as comfortable a har bour of refuge as the poor man could d e sire. But since his s e p g l o e l e d g f h ev i e e r has broken b f r e o r k r e e n w, ou th t, e th h e er p d l s o m u a g e hman has left has left his master's cattle and sheep untended, the clerk has fled from his ledger with entries half-made, all settled in dustry is paralysed and disturbed, men of all classes aro scraping for gold with pickaxe and shovel, expos i ng themselves to unwonted privations, now accumulating sudden wealth, now toiling laboriously for nothing. Nomadic hordes of gamblers are setting all their pros pects in life upon a chance in the gold regions. The confluence of the worst members of society, the rude, grasping habits acquired even by those of better dispo sitions, sad the absence of a sufficient police, are ren dering the Australian El Dorado anything but a safe or comfortable residence for respectable members of society. We repeat that we insist upon these facts not to deter intending emigrants from proceeding to Australia. This social disarrangement can only be temporary, and they who are forewarned of it may turn it to profitable ac count. Owing to the seductions of the mining districts, the demand for labourers and clerks has become greater than ever in the more settled districts of Australia, and tho remuneration for steady industry has proportionately augmented. We would have emigrants keep this in view, and arrange their plans rather with a view to fill up the vacuum left by the gold hunters, than to stake every thine' upon the chance of their being able to pick up su lan wealth in " the diggings." Fortunes rapidly made are as apt to be rapidly spent. Extraordinary luck is the lot in this world only of the few. The wealth that is acquired more slowly by steady industry is more lasting, fur the habits contracted in acquiring it enable men to retain and use it more wisely. There is a story we have somewhere read of a party of adventurers who were lured from Spain to the New World, when the tales of Cortes and Pizarro made it as attractive to Castilians as Cal ifo r n ia and Australia are now to the Anglo-Norman race. As soon as they l anded all set off to thegold regions with the exception of one , who, un moved by , the n and gibes sought out a i fle pece of g round r: a rear the of his fellows, coast, set to and work to till it, a s he might have done on the plains :corn of Estremadura.

Their old friend refused to impart of the produce of his farm except in return for their gold, and the prices ho fixed upon his corn, flesh and wine were exotbitant ; but they were starving, no other dealer in these commodi ties was nigh, and their pockets were soon emptied, w e pass over details. The prudent tiller of the soil explained to his angry friends that his sole object had been to se cure them from perishing with all their wealth, and teach them practically the true use and value or gold.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—as medical mesmerists are not ellowed to be heard in the medical journals, and are struck on the mouth with the editorial shoe whenever they attempt to vindicate their ho nour and uuclereoandiegs by meaing known to the medical profession, wad the public the facts that havo convinced them, and their reasons for the faith that is in them, it is only through the tree unprefesaionai press that medical men, who have practically , studied the subject of mesmerism, can hope to obtain the; hearing which is not refused to the worst of criminals before conviction. Having obtained for myself, from the daily press of India, the " fair field and no favour," which was all I asked, when the attempt was made to put me down also by professional journalism, I cannot for a moment sup pose that English lay editors are less lovers of justice and fair play than their Indian brethren, and will not gladly give publicity to tho following vindication of a greatly-traduced and deeply -injured gentleman, Dr. E:liotson. I beg to be permitted to explain for the information of general readers, that the ()keys referred to in the fol lowing correspondence were two young girls, sisters, formerly mesmeric patients of Dr. Elliotson, and who, fourteen years ago, were said to have been found out and exposed as impostors by Mr. Wakley, editor of the Lancet. It would hardly be worth any one's while to deiturb Mr. Wakley 's self-complacency, or attempt to lessen. his reputation f or smartness among the doctors, were it not for th e extraordinary logical edifice they have reared upon this very narrow foundation, a hich will, in fact, be shown to be no foundation at all. The conclusion come to by the doctors generally from this great case," is —that the Okays having been proved to be impostors, and Dr. Elliotson deluded if not a " particeps crirninis;" ergo, all so•called mesmerised persons and mesmerisers, for the lest sixty years, are in the same pre dicament—either rogues all I rogues all! or a cross between knaves and fools. In the judgment passed upon mea meris:a by the medical profession, the human understand ing appears and have been actually i nverted by pride, pre j udice ; and c h ar i ty, probability, and p th laws have been a ll equally lost sight of. ae,ssioie of f evident©, I should think that most reasonable men, both in and out of the profession, would f eel disposed to suspend l t e h t e t i r judgments at least, if after readin g t h e following e r f Elliotson, t semen no t of preferring the testimony of of go the length his intellect and ptuous person, dis experience to that of a h as ty, pr esum qualified by nature for the delicate philosophic investi• gisooa . he has recklessly th rust himself into, and which he affects to decidelike a dictator. L, it too much to expect after this, that the most de• voted followers of Mr. Wakley, as a mesmeric authority, will be content to accept a compromise, and permit the o great Okey case" to be reckoned a drawn battle, and that we may, for the future, be allowed to prosecute oar search after truth without being interrupted by the everlasting Gkeys ? I would only hint, in conclusion, that tf .e to study optics, it is not usual to select a blind instructor, and that when we desire to become ac quainted with foreign countries, their manners, and pro ductions, we do not apply for information to persons who have never been out of the sound of Bow Bells in their lives. And yet, in the ease of mesmerism, men who know nothing of the subject either from reading or experi ment, and who refuse to see the thing even, are consi dered mesmeric authorities, in preference to those who have read, thought, observed, and acted for themselves with a sincere desire to know the truth, whatever it may be.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Perth. JAMES ESDAILE, My dear Dr. Elliotson,—l beg to direct your attention to a circumstance that has lately occurred here, in the hope that you will enable me to contradict authorita tively what I believe to be calumnies regarding your former patients, the Okays. In conversation the other day with one of the medical effice;rA of the Perth Infirmary, he confidently asserted that Mr. Wakley.had not only detected the imposture of the Okeye, but that they had confessed it themselves. I said, in repy,•that I knew many of the stories told about them were lies; such as, that you. even had con fessed having been imposed upon, and that one of the Ukeys had made a dying confession .of her imposture In prout of Loy correctness, I sent the Doctor the Zuist of a very recent date, in which you cited the case of the Okey - s as beautiful and genuine examples of mesmeric sensibility, and spoke of both the sisters as being alive and we ll. In return, I begged to be favoured with a sight of the confession of imposture, which the gentleman said he had seen, and would show me. He has looked over the Lancet (his only authority) without being able to find it; and, in cons• quence, I have offered to obtain the truth from you direct, for his satisfaction. As this stcry is very current, and popular among the grossly misled doc tors, I hope you will condescend to give it its quietus, as I nave no doubt you can do.—Yours, very truly, Perth, Ist July, 1852. JAMES ESDAILE. My dear Dr. Esdaile,—lt is altogether untrue that the Okeya confessed to anybody that they had prac tised imposition—it is altogether untrue that I ever con fessed that they had imposed upon me—it is altogether untrue that any of the phenomena which they presented were impostures. They did not exhibit a single pheno menon that has not occurred again and again in other patients without number. . Endless experiments of tile most beautiful and satis factory kind were shown to Wakley ; and at the time I defied him, and, repeatedly since, I have defied him, to disprove their conclusiveness. He pretended to have re peated a few —very few of them —without my results; but he gave me no proof, for they were pretended to have been done in my absence. I had made all my ex periments repeatedly, and with the greatest care; and after his tales had been published, I repeated the expe riments for many months with all possible care and pre caution, and invariably found all my o bservations veri fied. Th e w h o l e affair with him was one of peet leiar Y calculation. He told me that he was inundated with letters from doctors who took in the Lancet; a nd that nineteen out of twenty were against mesmerism. Nine teen purchasers of Lancets pay more money than on o ; pay and nineteen, therefore, this unhappy , man tried to please. The two Okeys are now married respectably, and mothers. The falsehoods told of the sisters are now so state, that I wonder any person should make himself ridiculous by repeating them. Falsehoods are fabricated without any reserve of mesmeris m and mesmerists. Many have asserted in public speech es and in writing, that I was compelled to resign my p ro f essorship at University Col lege; whereas I vacated it in contempt and disgust In the middle of the session, and threw the whole body, council, senate, professore, and students, i n t o utter dis may and confusion. It was asserted that I with confusion, and had gone off to the continent; and this falsehood I traced t o M r. Liston. Mesmerism is all true, my dear Doctor; it is ono of the grandest t ru th s i n nature that man has yet observ ed and —grand in physi o l og y was covered , psychology, and of the very highest highest importance iu both the m e di ca l and surg' . treatment of disease. The gross ignorance of the al!_ dical profession in regard to it is digraceful to thera_ 4s men of science, as men of art, and as men pr ofe 'Au g Christrianity. They all must yield, and that speedily; and the next generation will hear with sorrow and shame the unworthiness of the present. I remain, my dear Doctor, yours sincorslY , July 3, 1852.

There is something so totally unmusical, so essentially unromantic in the thing. We can put up with " the loud laugh that speaks the vacant mind," and heroically endure a baby labouring under a pin care lessly applied, but.,we acknowledga that snoring tries us severely. ‘Ve can tolerate a squint, and even admire some people'„ one-sided views; we can forgive an un symmetrical mouth, and frequently get up a positive affection for a snub nose; but the handsomest man of our acquaintance has ruined himself for ever in our esteem, by permitting as to see hisn when snoring.

Only fancy a man being otherwise than " wide-a-wake" over Punch! Surely we ought to be ashamed of having such an acquaintance, you will say! Well, perhaps we are,—at least, we can say this much, that on seeing him twenty yards uff on Ludgate-hill the other day, the reme mbrance of his snoring features arose before us with He spectre- 1 e power; we suddenly devoted our mind and body to the first shop wiadow, and were absorbed for some minutes in the interest of we do not recollect what, bus wo have a faint private belief that we were staring at " heal Havannahs," " Genuine Pigtail," and highly -yoloured snuff boxes, which Mrs. Ellis would not permit the most venerable si woman of England" to ta k e a pinch out of.

MAJOR BERESFORD and the MORNING CHRONICLE. Major Beresford, r.t a dinntr given at Braintree yes terday to Sir John Tyrrell and himself, made the follow jug assertion:— "The Mo;ning Chronicle is .continually attacking me, though I have the pleasure occasionally of sitting on the Barn° sofa in the same club with the editor of that paper. Such is the state of society, where we are subjected to the intrusion of those who make use of nll our intimate rAsociations, who come to the same club as ourselves, and who write letters and leading articles impugning our conduct and blackening our tlarecters at the very same table at which we ourselves aro engaged in our honest avocations." The only observation which we think it necessary to make on this statement is, that there is not one word of truth in it from beginning to end. Neither the editor of this journal, nor any person who is in any way responbible for what appears in its columns, is a member of any club whatever; and no one of the writers of the articles to which we suppose Major Beresford to allude is a member of any club where any portion of the secret election business of the Protec tionist party can possibly be conducted. We treat with cmtempt the base insinuation conveyed by Major Beres ford's words, that any gentleman connected with this journal ,is capable of betraying social confidence; and such charges are rarely made except by mrn who are too familiar with the idea of the detestable practices which they so lightly impute. Let us add that, if there is no more truth in his denial of having any connexion with bribery at Derby than there is in the assertions which he has hazarded respecting ourselves, we will ven ture to essure him that his chances of impunity before a Committee of the House of Commons are not quite so clear as ho would lead the Essex electors to believe. — Chronicle. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Admiral Superintendent H. Prescott, with Y.r. Rice, Mr. Crodoch, C om _ msnder Worse)lci, and the foremen afloat, commenced their annual survey of the ships in iardinary on Satur day. The Admiral mustered the officers of the ordi nary this (Monday) morning, and will conclude the sur vey of the ships this evening. The Simoom iron troop steam-ship, Captain King come, was docked on Saturday, and although it is nuw eight months since she was payed over , with Mr. Hay's camposhion, she was perfectly free from weeds and grass, having merely a little green slime, which washed off with a scoop as the water left her, showing the coos position firm and hard, and perfectly free from rust, ex cept were the chain cable had rubbed off the composi tion about the bows, and where the stages had :rubbed along the light water-line. Many naval officers went under liTr bottom, and were astonished at the good state it was in. The Sprightly steamer, Master-Commander Allen, went down to Hurst Castle this morning with several engineer officers. The Retribution steam-frigate, having coaled, went to Spithead this morning. The greatest expedition has been used in coaling ail the royal squadron. The Vic toria and Albert, and Fairy will go to Osborne to-mor row morning; and it is reported that the Court will probably proceed on a water excursion on Wednesday next, visiting Sheerness, the Channel Islands, and Os tend. The Fire Queen steamer was tried on Saturday and made a speed of 13 knots 5 fins. along the measured mile in Stokes-bay. DEVONPORT, JULY 25.—Spartan, 26, Captain Sir W. Hoste, was mustered, inspected, and exercised by Sir J. A. Ommanney, the c ommander-in-chief, yesterday, when the gallant Admiral paid some very high compliments to the officers. Considering that only a month has passed since the ship was commissioned, it is astonishing to what order and efficiency she has attained. She will be paid advance to-marrow by Commodore Seymour, and it is reported that she will sail on Tuesday or Wednes day next. SHEERNESS, MONDAY.—IIOV Majesty's steam-tug vessel African, Second-Master Gill, left port yesterday, at 2 P.M. Her Majesty's ship Meander, Commodore . Talbot, fitting at Chath am for service tne Cape of Good Hope, is progressin g rap idl y i n her equ i pmen t. A party of riggers from the dockyard are employed on her. S he does not get abl e seamen as qu i c k ly us was expected. Several of the young shipwrights of the yard have en tered en board as part of the carpenter's crew. Her Majesty's ship Wellesley, 72, is undergoing a thorough r e p a i r , an d w ill b e under the hands of the ar tificers at Chatham for several months. An agent of an emigrant society has been inspecting her Majesty's ship Dartmouth, and some other old frigates at Chatham, with the view of purchasing them for the purposes of emigration, if found for siirh service. The African Screw-packet Company have also sent a competent person to examine these vousls as to their aptitude for being fitted with a screw-propeller. Captain Warden, R.N., appointed to the Fisgard, is ordered to be placed under the immediate direction of Sir B. Walker, Surveyor of the Navy, and is to inspect the stowage, armament, and general fittings of all ships getting ready for sea. Captain Warden is also to have the supervision of the vessels contracting for the con veyance of mails. The second series of experiments on anchors, which comm. , anced on Friday, and were continued during c s consequence Sa turday, are suspended for a few days , repre in onse of the presence of those gentleme shipowners of Great Britain being required inut'g the daring the early part of the present. week. The Londontriai will leJ resumed on Friday next, at nine AM. and . pro bably not be concluded until the Monday following. Her Majesty's steam - sloop Barracouta , during her cruise in the Channel with the royal squadron, has proved herself to possess greater speed than the Samp son, Odin, Magicienne, and Retribution. The following are the particulars of the trip from Cowes to Dart mouth, and from Plymoul. to the Needles, which will ba read with interest by our nautical friends: — Shortly after the embarkation of her Majesty, off Osborne, at 9 30 A.M. of the 19:h inst., the steamers in attendance on the royal yachts were ordered by signal to rendezvous at Dartmouth, and to make the best of their way to that port. They forthwith proceeded at full speed in the lollotving order:— Elfin. 131uck Eagle. Alagicienne. Barracouta. Vivid. Victoria and Albert. Fairy. Odin. Sampson. Re :I Ibution. The Barracouta very soon passed the Retribution. In about 20 minutes afterwards she was ahead of the Odin, in another 20 minutes sho was in advance of the Sampson, and in half an hour more she passed the Mac , ° icienne. The Sampson was now evidently regaining her lost ground, and in 10 minutes was abreact of the 13arracouts, retaining her position tor about 20 minutes, when she gradually dropped astern. Oa the Barracouta'a arrival at Dartmouth the Sampson was 1 miles astern, Magi cienne 4 miles, Odin about 6 miles, and Retribution nearly 7 miles. On the arrival of the Royal yacht, &c., they proceeded to Torbay, where they remained for the night, and left the following morning for Plymouth Sound. With the exception of the Retribution, the Barracouta has less horse-power in proportion to her tonnage than any of the other steamers alluded to, viz., the Magiciense, Sampson, and Odin, as the following statement will 'show : Magicionne, 1,255 tone, 400 horse-power; proportion of tons to one-horse power, 334. Sampson, 1,297 tons, 467 horse-power; proportion of tons to one-horse power, 2 80. Barracouts, 1,048 tons, 300 horse-power; proportion o tons to one-horse posver, 3.49. Retribution, 1,641 tons, 400 horse-power; proportion of tons to one-horse power, 4.10. Odin, 1,310 tons, 560 horse-poWer; proportion of tons to one-horse power, 2.34. Early on the morning of the 22d inst. the squadron assembled outside the Sound, about a cable's length from each other, Magicienne being ahead,. Barracouta and Sampson close together, Odin one ship's length, and Retribution two ships' lengths astern from this position. At 6.20 A.m., the signal being made to proceed for the Is le of Wight with all dispatch, they started at full speed, with a light breeze on the quarter, and under all plain sail. The speed of the Barracouta was now 11* knots, and at 6.40 she passed the Magicienne. The Sampson, while the breeze lasted, was gradually c o m i n g up with th e Barracouta, but as it failed she dropped astern. At noon it fell'calca, and the steamers furled all sail. The Barracouta's sped was now under eleven knots, and she was in adiance of the Sampson three and a half miles, of Magicienne live m iles, of Odin six and half miles and of Retributio n nine and half Shortly after one o'clock the latter ship was so far astern of the Barracouta as to be out of sight, and at three p.m. the smoke of the Odin was barely distin guishable. The distance from the point of start ing outside Plymouth Sound to the Needles is 108 miles, to Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, 112 miles. The Barracouta arrived off Yarmouth 55 miuutea before the Sampson, 1 hour and 10 minutes before t he Odin, 1 hour and 13 minutes before the Megicienue, and 2 hours and 35 mi nutes before the Retribution. Ilere the Barracouta, stopped to allow the other steamera totse up position p through; the in two lines, for the Royal yachts to Retribution, however, was too far astern to join them. The time occupied by the Barracouta in making the passage to the Needles was 9 hours, showing, sn average of 12 miles an hour. She had a tide running 2/ knJts in her favour for 7 hours, and against her for 2 hours. Making allowances for this, her actual speed through the water was at the rate of 11 miles an hour, the en gines working well the whole time. The Sampson ua., questionably sails better than the Barracouta, and, had tne; ; wind not fallen light, would have been ahead of her.

S. Brent empanelled, at the Sussex Arms, Sussex-place, Cam den-town, a highly respectable jury, to inquire into the death of Mr. Henry Locke, aged 48, late proprietor of that establishment. Margaret Lyons, the cook, stated that on Thursday morning, perceiving her master look rather unwell as he was going to the cellar, she asked permission to accom pany him, 'when he replied there was no necessity, as h e would not be long there. About ten minutes afterwards de ceased's daughter went to the cellar to bring her father to breakfast. Witness directly afterwards heard Miss Locke scream, and exclaim, "My father is down!" whereupon witness hurried to the cellar, and found her master lyin g on his side near one of the puncheons. Mr. James Woolley, surgeon, was called in to attend deceaSed, whom he attempted to bleed, but the vital spark hid fled before his (Mr. Wool ley's) arrival, so that all efforts to restore animation were unavailing. In his opinion the carbonic acid gas generated in the cellar, acting upon deceased's naturally delicate state caused death.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This theatre opened last evening under the lesneeship and management of Mr. eiberiden Smith, end despite the heat of the weather, and the theatrical depression ge nerally exieting at this period of the year in London, was densely crowded. hamlet was the play selected for the opening, the chief cheracter being undertaken by "the Great Amer Lian Tr.agedian," Mr. Buchanan. His performance may be dismiesed with a very few remarks. Altogether destitute -of the scholarly refinement, the polish, power, and ease of Cheeks lie an and of the grace, and elegance of elocution which distinguished Emil Devrient—hard, coarse, drawling, lugubrious, Mr. Buchanan, evinced extraordinary efforts to make every line tell, superaddieg, moreover, sundry dreary suspirations which gave the finish ing touch to one of the most depressing personations we ever had the woe of witnessing. Except in the advice to the players, the celebrated soliloquy, and the graveyard scene with Laertes, which were very fairly dune, his reduudancy• of gesticulation, painful groan logs, and grating vocal gymnastics, which, in the first two acts, occasionally produced the impression of his being gifted with two or three separate organs of speech, made our blood run cold. With all this the applause was frequent and furious. Ha was ice tiled at the end of the second act, and on the fiaal fall of the curtain, w hen he briefly, and indeed gracefully, thanked the audience for his reception. The only display of antagonism was after the play scene, when loud sounds of an uepleaaing character proceeded' from the front nit rows, but were drowned in th e overwbelenn ing shouts of friendly vo;ces. There are other roles of a less nature, in :5 hich we dare s a y M r.

The new opera, The Devil's in It, the libretto by Mr. Bunu and the music by Mr. I3alte, drew, as it might be expected, a tremendous house last evening. The libretto is based upon the popular farce of The Devil to Pay, and consists principally of broad comedy, developed through the agency of magic. The Countess of IVallenberg (Miss Poole) indulges in a temper, the flights of which are beyond all endurance; end it is, therefore, deemed necessary by " the powers that be " to give her a salu tary lesson by reducing her violence to reason. The chief of these powers is a wondrous magician (21,1 r. Borrani), who maters a humble basketemelter (Mr. Corsi), and his Count (Miss Homer), resident near the chateau of the troonusnitor(mUsr.tThroaLveurdsy)t w th s e n i eb u n g b tr e u .r m g e i t n it t s , o L f e h tt i 3 s , purpose.

The flows on without any very remarkable le;atuedrbeeutpelietchheese of melodic or harmonic treatments abounding animsl spirits and the brightly-coloured viva city of the general effect are all that could be cleared, Here and there the ear catches a reminiscence, .a me lodic phrase, which seems familiar, huteit is-soon ab sorbed into the emphatic and well-rhythmed strains which make up the great proportion the opera, while the attention never tires cf the variety and ingenuity of the orchestral treatment. Much of the scoring, indeed, affords very favourable specimens of Mr. Balfe's manner; and it is but fair to say that in every such instance fall justice was rendered to the composer by a most efficient orchestra. The overture, which is brusque and lively, was encored. Indeed, the same. fate attended almost every morceau, co that the cpera may fairly be said to have been twice performed. The elaborate concerted piece in which the Count receives the huntsmen and the Count?ss abuses them, is full or dramatic scoring, and was very steadily given, the chorus backing up the principals with a precision and aplomb not to be al ways found in cetablishments of more importance. An air for the Count was also encored, and the Coun t es's. scolding music was so characteristic as to pro duce a genuine effect. Levy's opening song—a sprightly and melodious air, sung with breadth and vi gour of style—was loudly eneeted. The duo which succeeds with her bush:;ml, the tipsy Basket-maker, is flowing and effective, and finished happily in the climax of the polka, which 'formed one of the themes of the overture. The act closes with the transformation scene, managed to an effective chorus. In the second act, the dispute between the 13aiket.melter and his wife is partially carried on in spealsing-partially in very fluent end facile musical phrases. We have then , after an encored song from the Magician, a scents for Letty, who hes waked up and found herself a Countess. The musio is pretty and piquente, and was given by Miss Homer so as to bring down a hearty demand for its re petition. A sweet little duo between the mock Countess and her maid (Miss H. Coveney) is one of the gems of the opera. It was also twice sung. The Count has next a ballad of the regular Bair() and Bunn model, and con taining very graceful phrases; and the introduced sinr A e ing lesson ends in a brilliant bravura song, to which IV,i a , NOMer did full justice. The opera, us we have said; was excellently and steadily give,;' on all hands. Great pa i ns had evidently been taken in its preparation. EarezybodY was perfect and at home in bosh business and music.
