LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par liament, this Company now offers to-future insurers four-fifths of the Profits with Quinquennial Division, or a low Rate of premium without participation of Profits. The next division of Profits will be declared in June 1855, when all participating policies which shall have subsisted at least one year at Christmas, 1854, will be allowed to share in the profits. At the several past divisions ofprolits made by this Company, the reversionary Bonuses added to the polic:es from one.half the profits, amounted, on an average of the different ages. to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added at the four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001. FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the East and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the United States of America, have been materially reduced. INVALID LlVES.—Persons who are not in such sound health as would enable them to insure their Lives at the Tabular Premiums, may have their Lives insured at Extra Premiums. LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have attained in each case a value not under 501.

Advice arid Medicine. U. SIR JOHN PAKINGTON AND THE COLONIES. Sir John, mighty questions your notice now claim, If a clear course you'd steer..witbout possible blame. Let a lecture in private your judgment impress, Then the rules of your office you'll never transgress. Your station 's important in all cases—true, The colonies some cf them need your review ; But the prevalent spirit of vast emigration Will in time make them like your own mighty nation. Would you rule with success, make our colonies great, Give Emigrants facts you may honestly state ; These facts are best proofs of a voyager's success, Shown by MOSES in charges for outflis and dress. You may canvas each section of England's new laws, But the brightest enactment gives the people good elothes, And the minister who must provide for all stations, Is MOSES, Designer of Dress for all nations. During many long sessiens he has worked in this cause, His system is based on the best of all laws — Is the modal of trade, since each emigrant knows That his outfit is proper wherever he goes. Now, Sir John, to begin your intended arrangements , State the outfits from MOSES as, the best of engagements, And never neglect to express . your opinion ,-. ' That in matters of outfit he holds sole doniinion. The colonies soon having stated their claims, Tee thousands from Albion each vessel's list names, Who are sailing o'er ocean to far distant shores, Equipped with an;outfit from Aldgato3 famed stores. Sir John, with E. MOSES'S patrons your care, We wish you the comforts of office to share ; But remember, if office you long would enjoy, The artist of MO/ES you likewise employ. Emigrants' Cabins fitted up at a trifling expense. Every comfort and even elegancy combined in E. MOSES and SON'S Outfits. They supply them for 31. 155., 61. 155., I 'l. I ls., and upwards.

TlMES.—Objection is alWays easy, for it is never without reason on its side, and that reason, be Weyer so little, is all that it is concerned with. On the other hand, nothing is less suitable for dashing conjecture, for lively epigram, or off hand declamation, than the re sponsibility of considering what should be done under given circumstances. The objectors may be a hundred, and may start from a hundred different quarters, but the course best to be adopted is one; so the man who defends it has to stand with his back to a rock and fight the whole world, It is doubtless from the difference be tween these two tasks that there are men who can do nothing but object, and who are never so wise as when in opposition. There never,, indeed, was so sudden and plentiful a crop of political philosophy and virtue as that which has sprung up since last Friday fortnight. Never has the mind of man marched so quick, or peogress been so universal'. The Usorelhe pity that it happens to be too late. Three weeks ago none would have hailed it more gladly than we. There was then a Government to warn and to advise, but on the whole to befriend and to assist, and that we were perfectly ready to do. Whatever our minor differences on questions in this or that department, we never withheld our support on a question that could be considered one of confidence. That Government is now gone, cer tainly from no act of ours, under circumstances which seem to preclude its early return to office. These circum e s stances have been so often described, and really are so, evident and confessed, that we need not refer more par ticularly to them at this moment. As tke nation, re.- presented in the Legislature, . and in that respect not unfaithfully represented, would no longer have the 146 Government, it seems only rational and decent to giffe . a fair trial to the other' alternative, there really beslg only one other under existing circumstances.

Their reesons.would have been invaluable three weeks ago, when theso same persons were undermining the then Government by every means in their power, and seizing the opportunity of every little bitch, arid every internal schism, to trip up the heels of the Minister; but they aro now as useless' as they aro cheap. But we are told by a great northern light, and the remark is endorsed by a clever weekly contempo rary, that the necessity now alleged is a fictitious one, created by the very party which makes it a plea for for bearance. Mrs Cadet', says, " the whole difficulties which they (the Whigs) have experienced in carry ing on the Government in the House of Commons have arisen from the fact that you have 200 to 230 gentlemen banded together, apparently with the most - intense feel ing of self-interest, and with the most determined reso lution to oppose any Government which did not consult their interest." But what are 230 gentlemen in a House of 654 Members? The statemont bears 'on its very sue. face its own confutation; indeed, the speaker is forced to explain beforehand that the difficulties caused by those 230 gentlemen were " in addition to the difficulty which exists in the inherent weakness of the Whi g party," and he also incidentally drops that he is him self no partisau of the Whigs. He might have said even more. But when the Whig party is admitted to have been inherently weak, and also not to have enjoyed the general, support of Mr. Cobden and his friends, why throw the blame of the recent mishap on the 230 gentlemen? The footpad who sur rotinded and robbed six travellers on Hounslow -heath could never have succeeded if they had been true to themselves and one another. But the truth is, Mr. Cob den and his friends hive been quite as great a difficulty to the late Government as, Lord Derby and his friends. Only last session . they beat' Government on the ballot, and en • the proposed creation of county lot house holders; and they have rather studiously abstained from voting on questions of canfidence. Last year Mr. his siguhsat usual lxphoisutnodrieo research. expounded at greatl , en a gth, and with more than the Whigs after living'sinele 168 T 8 e o lrY n tplaree e t pretty turned out the Stuart s an d :arb i trary power, have in f act only supplanted ono nu i sance b y another still worse, v i z ., y; d t i h t e o o f rythat having the domination of a 'few great families; and he im proved the discovery to observe, that the thing now to be done was to extinguish the Whigs, w h a t e ver the consequences. It 9annot.,he eleniedthat Ar ee ßright ancf othersetofet liise patty'baae acted with this view, and rather too simply with this view.. Nor can it be denied that the line of the Manchester school, and the line of many Members 'elected by large popular constituencies, is far more calculated to embarrass any existing Go• vernment than to advance any assignable policy. We tell these gentlemen, therefore, that they have to thank themselves very much for the present emergency, un less, indeed, it have really entered into their plan, in which case, of course, they will thank themselves for it. If, then, the present movement out of doors is simply against a Derby Administration—simply against the notion of this empire being governed by the so-called country party, we can only ask, " Why didn't you keep the country party out?" An orator in the north the other day quoted the well-known lines in which the speaker is a'ked whether the lion at the door of the house shall be kept out or admitted and then turned 'out. Like all theetther good things said on this subject, the quotation is too late. The lion was at the door three weeks ago. lle is now inside, and the question is what is to be done with an admitted though troublesome guest. But what is the practical value and purport of all this agitation? They who let the late Govern ment be turned out, without . caring who was to come in, are now for turning. out the present Government, with a like indifference to the necessary consequences. They are simply for turning out all Go vernments; only some they throw down, and others they let drop. To turn out the new Government is simply to reinstate the old—that is, to put ourselves in the posi tion which was untenable . three weeks. since. Are we to trust that the lesson will not be lost on any of the offending parties; that Lord. John will reinforce his Cabinet and bring in better measures; and' that the Leagners will be rather 'more faithful to their Whig alliance?

HER XLD.--Two of the free trade journals the Globe and the Daily News, instead of resigning themselves. calmly, to the inevitable de feat which has some upon them, seem to grow daily more and more rabid, and intent on mischief. Their theme from Monday to Saturday, is still the same:—Either Lord Derby is a Protectionist, and, as such, a public enemy, to be hunted down by any and every means;—or else, be is not a Protectionist;- and then he is a hypocrite, —a cheat; who must be ex posed and disgraced, for, the sake of the public moralitWe have already given one effectual answer to this alt . of accusation, by aelducing;the eases of MreCannini ! '1827, a n d L or d J o h n Russell in In 1846. ,the first in these instances, Mr. Canning was a leading advocate of Romish E manc i pat i on , and it was from a d read of his using his power to advance that cause, that Sir R. Peel and others quitted bim. Re became Premier; but - in stead of immediately endeavouring to carry that ques tion which h a d b een a favourite object with him for _many years,—he at once announced a trace; and post poned all 'allusion to the subject till the public mind should be come b etter i n formed, and more favourable to his views. In the same spirit did Lord John R ussell act tin 1846. Only one year before he had pointed out an establishment for the Romish priests in Ireland as the proper accompaniment of the Mayuooth Endowment 'Bill. He accepted the Premiership, and Mr. T. s. Dancombe immediately asked whether he did not mean to carry out his own declarations ? He at once replied that he did not. Ile•declared his opinion to remain un altered ; but he postponed all action in the matter until the popular mind should be more favourable to the pro posal. Lord Derby now accepts office, having sought it tar less—having avoided it far m ore—than either Mr. n Canikele, ee or Lord 6 John .Russell ever did. His position very Elderly resembles theirs. He d e c lares, as they did, his opini on as to an i mport d u ty on corn to remain un altered. But he postp ones, as t h e y did, th e a c ti ng out of his own views until he sees in the public mind, as ex pressed in Parliament, a readiness to concur in his opinion. And f or th us f o llowing in their steps the Liberal journals, which saw nothing to blame in Mr. Canning ' a or Lord John Russell's policy, now set up a bray, oxclaiming, "If you do not at • once act upon . you r own v iews and declared opi ne:Ate, you are a most dishonest and perfidious man." The in • consistency of this conduct, in those who saw nothing to blame in the former cases, is obvious. The inconsistency is enough in itself to condemn their simulated zeal and assumed love of stern integrity. But there is another point of view, in which their conduct appears as absurd as it is disingenuous. Do these gen tlemen wish to leave the Queen without any. Ministry at all? If not, will they show us upon what other basis any Government can Just now be formedi except that very basis, of forbearance, on which Lord Derby has these angry rested his? Into what port would pilots de sire to steer the' vessel of the State? Lord John Russell's late t. Administration -13 thoroughly worn out This is ad mitted by every ' free-trade journal, * The resuscitation of that Cabinet is - not desired, is not regarded as possible by any one. Well, th en , the late Ministry being defunct , and the Queen having no Ministry, what is to be done? Each of the other two parties, besides the Whigs liament,ts and the Protectionists, had some principle or crotchet of ' liked the Ecclesiastical Title Its own. liteS • The Pee dis liked Popery in Ireland, 's Bill, they would have esta blishedhave given the Church into the management in England they would and the Tractarians, The Radicalsmanagement of Dr. Posey finan cial reform, the reduction were pledged to the surrender of our colonies. othe ar m y and 'navy, and N ow ne ither of these s chemes of policy would h ave country. If either of these been tolerated by the par Ministry, the only possible ties could have formed a have faced the country would d round on which they could have been the abandon ment of those principles which own. They tell us now that Lord were peculiarly their Protection, because he ca nnot. Derby will not restore we may fearlessly assert that However this may be, have allowed Mr.. Gladstone t the country would never Establishment in Ireland, or to° set up a Romish Church into the hands of those who W give the English Church Equally certain is it tha Mr.05.1d surrender it to Rome. eel'. mitlieos ; Per annumit V 9hden'ls " fannynf saving, would have to be given up th our - army, navy; Inc., Downing-street. Hence the onlye moment ho set foot in Peelite Cabinet or a Cobden Cabinet Wa in which either a been formed, would have been b could ever have mem ber of either such Ministry frankly react respective peeing, all that which distinguished giving up, or post politicians. And thus we 4116hed him from other conc l u sion.-1. That the Whig Ministryhinded at last, in this defunct.. 2. That in the preseu was hopelessly Commons, Lord Derby could 0 state of the House of Government by postponing till'si Y hope to carry on the until the peoplo had spoken a , question of Protection That a Peelite. Ministry ( even h ` aci m. general election. 3. pos sible) could only have been toleratedsuch a thing been gngp all its favourite ideas on condition of its a Cobden Cabinet could only exist by purposes. 4. That views and intentions which Me. Cobdeny disavowing all those have long been advocating . El t , and his friends plainly, and inevitably, h etween all Y - -the choice is, most will do the best it can under the a Government which circumstances—neither its opinions , nor doggedly resolving to force them on the country — or, no Government F r ee-traders could even throw Lord at all. If the Derby out—a thing in the highest degree improb a ble —. what wou ld b e t h e i r next step? To revive Lord John Russell and the Whigs? that they admit to be impossible. to the Peelites, or to the Cobdenites? To give the helm But neither these cliques could govern on any other terms giving up their own peculiat views.

PEEL, RUSSELL, "This comes," said Sir IRB4oleBe,r,!oPf AND DERBY. in the Legislative Assembly, e a e t l t ti n n h g e tto e g a o r v d e r o n f b whe the yn F u r u e lee% numerical revolution, ua a jori t i y n tegardiete of the opinion, out of doors. It is just what those people, the Protectionists, wanted me to do, but I wontrnot." These memorable words of a groat man on 4reat ()cession convey in a emall space the fe w ' ' , th e „ ry of goVernoeent, and the true duties of statesmen. 'This will at once be manifest it we compare them with the declaration of Lord John Russell with which he intro duced his new Reform Bill, that it was his intention to preserve the existing balance between the agricultural and manufacturing interests, so that whatever may be the Outage in the relative 'power, wealth, intelligence, or in fluence of different classes, their respective weight iu the Legislature shall remain for ever constant and un changed. The sole object and tendency of such a provision is to establish as wide a breach as pessibie between the opinion of Parliament and the opinion of the country,. and by so doing to counteract and destroy as far as may be the benefit of • representative institutions, and to present cur Legislature to the country not as a body to be 'respected and obeyed, but to be intimidated and., -coereo& The proposition of Lord John Russell to con tinue and perpetuate the present balance of interests is nothing more than a plan to enable a Minister to do the very thing denounced by Sir Robert Peel—to govern by a numerical majority in Parliament while the sense and intellect of the country are against him. It is to atm him with a sword which he ought never to dray, and ehicheeif drawn, is sure to wound most deeply the hand thathedds it. If a prudent man finds himself in such a posi tion,:possessed of a majority ready to carry out views which the nation repudiates, what course of action would those who advocate the perpetuation of an influence which renders Parliament an exponent of anti-national senti ments recommend? Shall he :persevere? The fate of France is before him, and of numerous other Govern ments which, having succeeded, in corrupting or packing popular assemblies, have forgotten that by those very arts they have deprived those bodies of the influence over the people which they were created to exercise, and have only awoke from the delusion amid the thunders of incipient revolution. Shall he, on the other hand, do as Sir Robert Peel did, save his infatuated adherents ire spite of themselves, and surrender his name to obloquy and his memory to reproach, because he refuses to avail himself of the corruption of the Senate in order to crush the will of the people ? The prudence of such a course cannot be doubted, but it exacts from the man Aho adopts it a rare abnegation of self and a patriotism seldom found in or out of place. Que mon.no7r. soit mail que France soit libre, is when sincere an aspiration of almost superhuman disinterestedness. Yet ,ope eer other of these• Ours& a 'Minister placed in the situation we have described must infallibly take. He may at any time be called upon to choose le - :- tween his country and himself. Sir Robert Peel six years ago preferred his country; Lord Derby may, for aught we know, be called upon to make a similar dee tion, and may decide it in a contrary way. At any rate, supposing him to follow the example of Sir R. Peel, we shall have the misfortune of witnessing twice in six years .the authority of Parliament virtually superseded by an appeal to the popular will, and a new premium given to those who by means of public meetings and inflamma tory harangues profess to elicit and express the opinions of the people. Now, we ask, why should we be conti nually placing Ministers in this invidious and dangerous position? Why s h ou ld they perpetually be obliged to choose between their character and their country ? Why should we refer them as an oracle for their guidance to the opinion of a majority of Parliament, and yet defy them to act on s uc h an o pinion e under the penalty of bringing a b ou t some terrible and undefinableeatastrophe ? Who are the ga i ners b y suc h a sys t em as thi s , w hich is perpetually staking their c ont i nuance on t h e pru d e nce or timidity of exposing " our" institutions to hazard, and a single man? No one that we know of, except pro fessional agitators, whose coarser powers enable them to find amid the plaudits of large meetings 'a fame they would hardly attain in the discussions of more select assemblies; yet to such things we must constantly be liable so long as the anomalies are permitted to con tinue, a steeling illustration of which will be found in this day's issue. Jobbing politicians manufactUre votes and seats ad libitum, and call the result of these shabby contrivances " political influence." They may thus obtain political influence in quiet times, but when the storm rises and the safety of the Teasel depends on the accuracy of her course a true statesman will never steer by a compass whose needle he knows to be drawn aside by undue attraction. It has been quite easy to give Dorsetshire an squat representation with Middlesex; but wo to the statesman who should fall into the mistake of consider ing tee gain of the fourteen votes. of Dorsetshire as equivalent to the lose of the fourteen votes of Middle sex. In the political equation the two sides may be apparently equal, and yet the real value of them vastly different. The counters ,may pass for the same amount in the Parliamentary game of speculation, but this con ventional standard vanish es th e momen t we seek to convert them into real money. Th e quest i on is cowing every day to be more, not wh a t was t h e ma j or ity, but of what elements did it consist? On which side were the representatives of wealth, intelligence, and population, the independence and intellect of the House? To do the House of Commons justice, it has, since the ileforiu Bill, shown itself superio r t o the prin ciples of its construction, and evinced a deference , for public opinion far greater than could be ex pected from so anomalous a body. This, as we have. said, is very well for quiet 'times, but crisis is impending, in which we are destined acutely to feel the dangers of a system of representation founded on no avowed principle. Lord Derby talki of appealing to the country—meaning by the country the consti tuencies as at present divided and organized. How de sirable it would be if those constituencies really consti tuted a jury to whose verdict both parties would be dis posed to submit! But the tribunal is discredited before it is appealed to. Being weak in Parliamentary votes, the larger and wealthier constituencies naturally feel that they must make up in clamour and egitation for their unequal representation in Parliament. The deci sion of a jury picked ,irt favour of- the•lander3•fnterett' 'will not be accepted. That will bo yielded to threats and intimidation which ought to be the result of , the quiet working of our Constitution, and if Dorchester be al lowed to cancel Middlesex in Parliament, the balance will be redressed elsewhere. All permanent Government must ultimately be tbr Government of enlightened public opinion, and the superiority of free over despotic States lies principally in this—that in the former public opinion can be ex pressed by regular organs peacefully and deliberately, while in the latter violence must precede its expression as the lightning is the precursor of the thunder. If this be so, what shall we say of statesmen who endea vour so to model our institutions that they shall not be true exponents of that public opinion which shall ultimately prevail, but delight in teaching Parliament to speak one language, while those whom Parliament ought to represent are holding another? Is it for the good of our country or the stability of our institutions that it should be even possible that while the majority of the wealth, intelligence, and population of the country are against a tax on bread, a majority may be returned to the House of Commons favourable to its re-imposi tion, and therefore that the people, debarred by political jugglery froin giving vent to their opinions in a consti tutional way, must seek some new and unrecognized method of making them known? There may be those who wish Lord Derby to govern by a numerical ma jority in Parliament regardless of opinion out of doors, but if be be patriotic he will not, and if he be prudent he dare net. —Times. • FASHIONABLE PARTIES. THE DUCHESS OF .NORTHUMBERLAND'S * ' ASSEMBLY. • . . On Saturday, evening their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland gave a banquet to the lead ing members of the Cabinet, and her Majesty's House hold and their ladies, at their mansion, Northumberland Honse. The guests were ,the . Earl and.

Dinner was served at eight, in the large Dining-room. Covers were laid for thirty. At a more advanced hour of the night, a fter the ban quet; the Duchesi threw open her magnificent saloons for the reception of a select number of visitors. With the superb and almost regal adornments rou of .the th e kind nterior o f Nbrthumberland House the public, thgh t ness and "liberality of its noble and gallant owner last year, are already familiar. The saloons, as they were seen on Saturday night by the light of some hundreds of wax tapers, "appeared gorg eous and ' dazzling in the extreme. The . company commenced setting down about ten.

On the 3d proximo the officers of the, garrison will give a farewell dinner to Admiral Sir William Parker and Lieutenant-General Ellice. The gentlemen of the navy, however, are annoyed at not being allowed to join. Were they permitted to do so, the number would be so great that no room in Malta could be found large enough to contain them. SHEERNESS, MARCH 6.—Her Majesty's ship Achille, 76, has been taken into the fitting basin to be over hauled, and brought forvrard as an advanced ship. Her Majesty's ship Ganges. 84. was removed on Fri day from the basin into the dry dock lately occupied by the screw steam- frigate Horatio, 24. Her copper is to be stripped, her bottom examined and caulked. She is ordered to be got ready as en advanced ship. Her sail ing qualities during her last commission are spoken of in a most favourable manner, and as being superior to those of many of the two-deckers in the Mediterranean crisdron. It is expected she will hoist the pendant soon after ber detects are made good. Her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Horatio, 24, Captain 'the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, has sent up her topgallant masts, and is all ataunt in the basin. The windlass in terfering with the working of some of her guns, a cap stan is to be placed in its stead, which will keep her some little time longer under the hands of the dockyard. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Amphion, 34, will be taken into dock when the repairs of the Cylops are effected, to be put into a state ready for service if re quired. Her Majesty's steamer Lizard, tender to flag-ship, Mr. G. Brockman master, left port this morning for Chatham, on dockyard service. She returned in the afternoon. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Royal family, and the Court, embarked in the royal yacht Fairy yesterday at five minutes to 1 P.M. for conveyance to Osborne. The special royal train which conveyed the Court to Gosport was in charge of Mr. Cornelius Stovin, the manager of the South-Western Railway, on alighting from which her Majesty was re ceived by Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.G., Com mander-in-Chief; :Lieutenant-General d'Aguilar, Acting Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth; Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8., Superintendent of the dockyard; Captain Sir Edward Parry, F.R.S., Superintendent of the Cla rence-yard; Colonel Menzies, Commander of the division of Royal Marines, and Aide-de-Camp to the Queen; Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzslarence, G.C.H., Aide-de-Camp. The Port-Admiral was attended by Flag-Lieutenant Pasley, the Lieutenant-Governor by Aide-de-Camp d'Aguilar and the Brigade and Town- Majors Purves and Maitland, and the Admiral-Superin tendent by Fleg-Lieutenant Aplin. The guard of honour was of the Royal Marines, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Willer, and officered by Captain John T. Aslett, First-Lieut. Jolliffe, and Second-Lieut. Gill. Tee band and colours of the division were attached. The usual salutes and ceremonies were observed, and about one o'clock the Fairy left the harbour, followed by the tender Elfin, Mr. Alfred Ballistou Acting-Master, for Osborne, where it is understeod the Queen end Court will remain until Saturday week. The Arrogant, 46, screw, Captain Robinson, arrived at Spithead yesterday aftereece from the West India - "Stititdif. Having left since the wail packet her colonial news hes been anticipated. Sho came through the Needles' passage yesterday, and on approaching Cowes her Majesty, on the deck of the Fairy, sighted her, and the royal yacht was directed towards the frigate. On seeing the royal standard Captain Robinson fired a sa lute of 21 guns, and on both vessels closing the officers and ship's company of the Arrogant manned her bul warks and rigging, end gave three hearty cheers, and sent up topgallant masts in first-rate style. She left Grey-town on the 21st of January, where she had been to exchange compliments with the American Commodore Parker in the Saranac steam frigate. The Calypso, 20, and Express, 6. were at Grey town when the Arrogant left, as was the American sloop Albany. Commodore Parker, to show the re-establish ment of good feeling with the English, was to sail the day after the Arrogant for Port Royal," to pay his re spects to Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, C.B. (who, ; with the Cumberland, 70, and two steamers, the De vastation and Inflexible, we have since hoard was at Ha vannah on the 14th ult.). The Sappho, 12, Commander Cochrane, was cruizing off Jamaica, where the Inflexible steam sloop had refitted. The Bermuda schooner had just returned from the north side of the island, and was about to sail for the coast of Cuba. The Rosemead steam-sloop was conveying solders to Barbadoer ; the Alarm, 26, and Persian, 16, were on the windward sta tion. Leaving-Port Royal on the 3d of February, the Arrogant worked up -between - St. Domingo and Cuba, steaming th r o ug h the Crooked Island pass age , w hi ch she cleared on the Bth.

It is stated that the Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, has been order e d to call at Lisbon or her way to Spithead, from Malta, to bring to England all the men of Commo dore Martin's squadron left behind at Lisbon, from whieh it is gathered a British squadron will not return to the Tegus for some time. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 7.—Port-Admiral Sir John Ornmanney, after a week's absence, returned from London yesterday, and hoisted his flag on board the Impreg nable, in Hamoaze. Her Majesty's steanesloop Vesuvius, Captain Bar nard, returned on Sunday from a cruise in the mouth of the Channel. Having had defects made good, her crew were paid wages on Friday, and Mustered by Commo dore Seymour. She appointed to sail to-morrow for Queenstown. The masts are to be taken out of the frigate Dublin, and she is to be docked preparatory for commission. The steam-ship Vulture is ordered to bo commis sioned. Masts, yards, sails, rigging, and stores for 13 sail of the line are ordered to be kept separate. The iron merchant barque Loharee, Captain Watt, with rice and a general cargo for Antwerp, put into the Sound yesterday, having tho day previous, when in stays, carried away her wheel chains, wheel, and stan chions. She left Point de Gallo on the 16th of October, and in fifty-eight days made the Cape of Good Hope, where she rem a in e d a week. On the 24th ult. spoke the schooner Elizabeth and Ann, from St. Michael's. for London. The Loharee brings passengers, Captain Kellar, of the barque Elizabeth Brown, lost in Torres Straits on the 28th of July last ; and Captain Waters, of the brig Urasie, of Leith, lost at Port Natal on the 26th of August.

This gallant and distinguished officer died at his resi dence, Ryde, on Saturday last, deeply regretted by an extensive circle of naval and other friends. He had served afloat for 23 years, but principally during the war. He entered the navy Sept. 4, 1796, on board the Glatton, 50, Captain Henry Trollope, under whom he continued employed on the home station as midshipman, in the Russell, 74 (part of the victorious fleet in the action off Camperdown, Oct. 11, 1797), and Juste, 80, until transferred, about the close of 1800, to the Sirius, 36, Captain Sir Richard King. In that ship he witnessed Jan. 27,1801, the surrender of the French 36-gun frigate La D‘laigneuse. After a servitude of four year in the East Indies, he was successively cnifirmd lieutenant and commander by commission dated Nov. 14, 1804, and Oct. 31, 1805; he was then nominated, June 8, 1807, acting captain of the Terpischore frigate. In March of the following year Captain Montagu, whose ship mounted but 28 guns and had only 180 men on board, fell in with, fought, and (with a loss to himself of 21 men killed and 22 wounded) fairly beat off the French frigate Seinillante of 40 guns and a crew of at least 300 men. Being soon afterwards appointed to the Corn wallis of 50 guns and 335 men, he assisted, in the early part of 1810, at the reduction of the island of Amboyna. About the same period Captain Montagu succeeded in effecting the capture of th e M itch corvet t es M an d ar i n and De b ßuyter. In the following November he was in trusted with tho command of the naval haigade landed to assist at the reduction of the Isle of Fracce during the operations connected with which, particularly on the occasion of the defeat of the French troops before St. Louis, Dec. 1, his zeal and exertions were such as to call forth the sincere acknowledgments of Major-General Abercromby. His last appointments were, Sept. 8, 1812, to the Niobe, 40, employed until June, 1814, on the Channel, American, and Lisbon stations; Oct. 29, 1819, to the Phaeton, 46, which ship he commanded on ser vice at Halifax until put out of commission in Sept., 1822, and July 25, 1834, to the Malabar, 74, fitting for the Mediterranean, where, and off Lisbon, -he---eene. tinned until ord e r e d home at the close of 1837, for the purpose of being 'paid off. He attained flag-rank N ov. 23, 1841. • The Rear-Admiral (a deputy-lieutenant for the county of Huntingdon) was nominated a C. 8., Dec. 8, 1815; a K.H., Oct. 5, 1830, and a K.C.H. (accom panied with the honour of knighthood) in Jan., 1832. He married, August 26, 1823, Anne, third daug hter of the late Sir Geo. Wm. Leeds, Bart., of Croxton Park, Cambridgeshire. By the death of Sir Wiliam Montagu the following promotions take place:- Rear -Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., M.P., becomes Vice- Admiral of the Blue; John B. Pasco becomes Rer-Ad miral of the. Red ; and Robert Wauchope Rear-Admiral of tha White. Captain Donat Henchy O'Brien (1821), one of the most.distinguished officers in the list, who, daring 20 years' service in the war, suffered shipwreck, captivity, and imprisonment, and ma.do one of the most desperate escapes from his captors on record, after three unsuc cessful attempts-who was second-lieutenant of the Am phion at the celebrated action off Lissa, and was Sir W. Eloste's first-lieutenant in all his most brilliant cutting out exploits in the Adriatic.-This officer not having had interest enough to procure employment as a captain is thereby ineligible for active flag rank, and obtains his promotion only to the reserved half-pay list. Rear-Ad miral O'Brien is about 67 years of age. Captain Edward Lloyd, K.H. (1821), next in seniority to the abpve officer, is also in the same position. He has ' Eta' unable to procure employment as a captain since his promotion, although ho served 15 years afloat during the war-in fact, from his first entry into the service to 1815 he served almost continuously; and we have heard that for seven years he was never ashore in England once. He was at the landing in Egypt, and in the sub saquent battles ashore. He commanded a party at the attack at Buenos Ayres and Monte Video; was with Sir Willoughby Nesbit in many of the desperate exploits at the Isle of France; he also served at the attack of Mau ritius, and subsequently with the army during the Javese campaign . .. Captain B. M. Kelly (1821), the third on the active list, is in the same position as Messrs. O'Brien and Lloyd. He served 17 years afloat, chiefly during- the war. Ho was at the landing in Egypt, was at the cap ture of Rear-Admiral Ferree's squadron, was at the re duction of Ss. Domingo, and in rooting out the enemy's privateers, and was senior officer for some time of the African squadron. Although incessant in his app i . ica bans, the Elliots, Greys, Ellices, Granvilles , and Sy mondses were preferred to this war officer, and conse quently we shall see these favoured; family officers with their flags flying, when O'Brien, Lloyd, Kelly, and other distinguished men are consigned to the faded yellow list. Captain Armsr Lowry Corry (1821), the fourth on the list, having rendered himself eligible by service as a captain, becomes entitled to his promotion to the active flag list. Ho has served afloat above 20 years, and for the last 15 months has been serving as superin tendent of packets at Southampton.

The Barham being paid off in April, 1839, he commissioned, September 7, 1844, the a Fire brana steam-frigate, and superintended the trial sailings of experimental squadron of brigs; and on his return to Port was transferred, Dee. 13, in the same year, to the Superb, 80, in which he took part in other trial cruises in the Channel and Mediterranean.
