A Parliamentary return, which has just appeared, fur nishes some curious, we may almost say startling, informa tion about these term incognitte, the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. It is a return of various particulars relative to certain professors in the two Universities, and. among other particulars, of the number - of pupils attending their lec tures. The professors included in the return are the Regius Professors of Divinity, Physic, Civil Law, Greek and Hebrew, the Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, and the Lord Almoner's Professor of Arabic in both Universities, the Regius Professor of Pastoral Theology and Ecclesi astical History in Oxford, and certain professors, to whom an • annual stipend is voted •by Parliament, and who, we gather from the return itself, are paid by Parliament, as follows : The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at ve o'clock. Various petitions having been presented, The Earl ST. GERMANS moved the third reading of the Irish Pacification Bill. Several verbal amendmen , s were proposed and agreed to, and after a desultory conversation, the Bill, as amended, was read a third time and passed. Their Lordships then adjourned. The SPEAKEn took the chair at Four o'clock. Several railway Bills were read a second time and ordered to be committed. Lord HENRY BENIAINCK took the oaths and his seat for North Nottingham. Several railway Bills were read a third time and passed. The Grand Trunk, or Stafford and Peterborough Railway Bill was react a second time, after a division, by a majority of 20. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice of his intention on Thurs day, the , 26th of l e iarch, to move that th 'louse on that day do resolve itself into a Committee o f the whole House for the purpose of considering the state of Ireland. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from an Hon. day Hon. Membei, said it was impossible for him to s a y he should bring forward the reduction of theon w sugar duties. It was his intention, however, to do so as soon as the corn importation measure was disposed of. In answer to a question from Mr. O'CoNNELL, Sir R. PEEL said it was the intention of the Government, immediately upon the Irish Protection of Life and Property Bill coming into the Howse, to move that it be printed, and taken iato con sideration on an early day. The South Sea Company Bill was recd a third time and ptssed, on the motion of the Cif:MELLOR of theExcns:QuEn. Sir J. GRAHAM moved for leave to bring in a Bill to afford tremporary provision for persons affected with fever in Ireland. Mr.WAKl.F.vthought the best course to stop the disease that was now raging in Ireland was to provide the people wit h food. After Some observations fram Mt. COLQUHOUN, Captain OsHORNE, Lord U. BENTINCK, Mr. HUME, Mr. O'CONNELL, Sir J. GRAHAM said that nothing had been lost sight of by the Government to alleviate, as far as possible, the distress and misery that was existing in Ireland. Mr. S. O'BRIEN believed it' the English proprietors of Ire land were compelled to do their duty, the people of Ireland would be in a much better condition than they were at pre sent, and would not be under the necessity of calling upon British generosity. After some further discussion, leave was given to bring in the Bill. Mr. GREENE then brought up the report on the customs and corn importation measure ; and on the question that the first resolution with respect to silk be read a second time, Mr. R. SPOONER moved that it be read a second time that day six months, believing that, if carried, it would have the effect of paralysing native industry. The Hon. Gentleman attributed the whole of the evils under which the country . . ...--.------ was at present labouring to the Bill of 1619, enfizrolog the The force of public opinion is ever the herald to salutary re payments. formation ; and it is the duty of the journalist to giv e this resumption of cash Mr. NEWDZGATE seconded the motion. opinion a faithful embodiment; and, certain that we are onl y correctly pourtraying the public feeling when we urge the Sir G.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the - House adjourned till Monday. Destitution, disease, and want of employment, are spread ing with the most alarming rapidity throughout Ireland. Even the veriest sceptics of the misery germinating among the populace of that doomed country find it no longer possible to hesitate in acknowledging the present emergency. Sir R• PEEL, in his character of Prime Minister, has demanded in the most ;solemn language the assistance of Parliament for those millions of starving Irish. Mr. O'Cossinen has pronounced the condition of his fellow-countrymen as requiring one immediate help from Government, if the legisla tors would comply with their responsibilities as guardians of the multitude, or, in fact, if they would fulfil the most 'Oa" nign precept of Christianity by feeding the hungry. P?o -fessors KANE and PLAYFAIR have given us the detailed statistics of that, deficiency in vegetable food, which is now tending to debilitate, if not to exterminate, a fearful portion of the population of Ireland. The Legislature also has acted a be coming and merciful part on this occasion ; the ordinary rant ins of Parliamentary business has been interrupted to afford an op portunity for expediting certain measures likely to entail much benefit upon the sister island. A preference has been given to questions hinging upon Irish matters. Indian corn to a considerable amount has been purchased with our national funds, and shipped for the principal ports of Ireland, as much to preserve the scanty crop remaining of sound potatoes to be employed as seed for the next harvest, as for the purpose of placing wholesome provisions at a moderate charge within the reach of the sufferers. Various modes have been devised and mooted, both within and with out St. Stephen's, by which remedies might be applied to an extensive and importunate and spreading evil. Some of these devices have been adopted. But while arrangements are thus making tardily and with hesi tation, the penury and helplessness of those four or fire millions of human beings are daily becoming more and more dire, and hopeless, and awful. Each packet is the bearer of still more calamitous intelligence, the harbinger of yet darker days. Starvation in some districts is not only threatening—it has already commenced. Agents have been dispatched to those scenes of want and idle ness; their communications in return have more than corroborated all the previous rumours of wretchedness. Fever and dysentery—originating in tainted roots, or in a total absence of nourishment—are prevalent to no unim portant extent in several of the towns and villages of Clare. While the hovels, which in moments even of plenty are always choked up with filth enough to generate a mallaria, are now abandoned to a yet greater state of dilapidation ; the limbs end muscles of their inmates rendering them by emaciation but little inclined to exertion. Nor are these terrih!e grievan cies confined to the inner and more rustic parishes ; the dwellers on the sea-shore are beginning to experience sll the fiercest pangs of privation. So extreme is their indigence— so hopeless their future—that not merely have the poor fisher men been compelled to part with their little scraps of house hold furniture (such as beds) and their wearing apparel, in order to appease for a time the hunger of their families, but they have been driven to that final stress of all, the necessity of raising a trifle of money upon their nets. By these circumstances all opportunity of redeeming their po sition is lost for ever, unless some charitable interference may enable them to struggle again in their own calling for their livelihood. Seventy-five of these fishing-nets have been staked away for food in the above manner on the south-west coast alone ; and so urgent were the cir cumstances under which the bargain was struck, that the pawnbroker of Kilrush declares his conviction that if the unfortunate men could possibly have conveyed their boats to his warehouse, they would have resigned those instru ments of their industry into his possession for the purpose of buying meal. That these significant occurrences may not pass without the observation of Government, a petition from the fishermen of Clare has, it appears, been drawn up, im ploring the Members of the Lower House to take the penury or the petitioners into consideration. And fain are we to believe that that prayer will not remain long un answered. The dykes are breaking down; if they be not speedily repaired, Ireland will be inundated with woe. Believing, however, as we do, in the promptitude and justice of Parliament, we cannot for a moment suppose that that au gust body will remain impervious to the lamentations of the famishing. Let our legislators remember, however, that the scarcity among the Irish is gradually dwindlieg down to nothing : and that, after the warnings and supplications which they have already received, they will be answeralle before Hearen for one single victim of starvation In addition to the Government pro posal, there is the suggestion of the Premier, that private charity should co-operate with the Legislature in finJing sus tenance and employment for the poverty. stricken Irish. This suggestion appears to have been treated slightly, or to have been altogether contemned; bat for ourselves, we conceive it to be imperative upon every individual who is competent, to join in some grand, national contribution for affording succour for the famished crowds in Ireland. A mere mite from each would accumulate into a vast boon for those destitute classes of our countrymen. By depriving ourselves of not one single comfort we might ward off death from the unfortunate. An omniscient DEITY has thought proper to visit Ireland with one of his severest scourges : it is the very moment, therefore, when England should follow one amongst the noblest precepts inculcated by that DEITY. We feel assured that this recommendation from the lips of the Prime Minister is not merely feasible, but that it is ab solutely requisite. Indeed it is but reasonable, while coer cion is proposed for the suppression of Molly Maguireism, of the Rockite factions, the Whiteboy conspiracies, and those hideous agrarian assassinations which are unhappily so prevalent iu our sister country ;—it is but reasonable, we say, that this coercive system (abstractly so obnoxious to the Irish tenantry, should be reconciled, in some measure, to the populace, by simultaneous efforts on the part of Government and of the British public, to employ the unemployed and to feed the foodless. A community of action such as this would be conducive to the welfare of the peasantry, while it would enforce their reverence for and obedience to the majesty of the temporary law. As a co-operative measure, nothing, however, would be more likely to ensure this happy consum mation than a strenuous movement on the part of the Irish landlords—an interference on behalf of the labouring classes, more natural than any interference of Government, or of the English public, and one more certain of ensuring the tranquillity and of compensating for the bygone miseries of that luckless multitude. It was from a conviction of this fact that Mr. WILLIAM SMITH O'Bn:Esr endeavoured to im• press the necessity upon the representatives and the Mi nistry; it was from a conviction of this fact that Sir llonnits" PEEL, immediately afterwards declared that "unless the Irish proprietors can be induced to come forward and co-operate with the Government, all that can be done will be almost entirely useless." Surrounded, however, by those gloomy signs of hesitation, and increased poverty, and contagious maladies, let Ireland still remain patient and hopeful ; her cup of sorrow is coming to the dregs; a happier epoch is approaching. In the midst of such scenes the very ingratitude of Mr. S. O'BasEx will pass by unheeded, and the ill-timed and in jurious remarks, which he made last evening, be drowned amidst the cries of starvation from his countrymen. We observe that Mr. PARKER, the Member for Sheffield, has given notice of a motion on the subject of railway legis lation, which wears much more of a practical appearance than the proposed motion of Mr. MonnisoN. Mr. PARKER'S motion is for a Select Committee, " to consider whether pre cautions cannot be devised by which the effects of the rail way legislation, now pending, on the labour and money markets of the country, may be provided against." This is hitting the right nail on the head. Mr. PARKER'S motion is fixed for Wednesday next. Before then weshall return to the subject. Mr. Monnisow has fixed his motion for Thursday next; but Mr. PARKER'S motion, on Wednesday, will pro. bably lead to a debate that will bring out the views of both Hon. Members, and render Mr Monntsort's motion unnecessary. We have received Madrid journals of the 6th, but they bring no news. The Funds on that day were rather more firm the Three per Cents. closed at 29% for the 30th inst. Nothing was done in the Five per Cents. The Paris papers in general regard the Polish insurrection as at an end, though some of more sanguine temperament still entertain lingering hopes that in the distant provinces the struggle may be carried on with some chance of success. That, however, is neither the common belief, nor even the wish of the best friends of Poland, and all that can be done now, is to raise funds with a view to render some relief to the devoted victims of this ill-judged attempt. All classes in France have evinced their sympathy for Poland. Even the clergy have come forward and mingled their prayers with the sympathetic wishes of their countrymen for the restoration of this afflicted people. The Bishop of PUY has addressed the following appeal to the inhabitants of his diocese :—" Beloved diocesans, we will respond to the wishes of those brethren who by their impetuous valour and the brilliant qualities of their hearts have desired to be called the French of the North. Never, perhaps, was Polani more worthy of the sympathies of all Catholic hearts.. Be hold her in her hale, old age bringing forth martyrs, whose heroism is no wise inferior to that of the first champions of our faith. Poland, unhappy and beloved sister, you will not have vainly placed your hopes in the Galilean Church; we will all minister relief to your sufferings. The pontiffs, clergy men, and faithful unite their voices and hearts to implore peace and mercy in your behalf. Our prayer will ascend to Heaven with the still smoking gore of your martyrs, and the blood of martyrs, mingled with the prayers of the saints, ever falls as a shower of blessings on the land from which it rose. We already descry, at no remote distance, the dawn of less in auspicious days, which the LORD reserves for that noble land. The entire of Europe is attentive to the groans escap ing from the bosoms of your children on the icy shores of Siberia. Everywhere generous voices are raised to demand your deliverance, and everywhere those voices are rapturously hailed by_ the sympathising nations." Not fewer than 148 Members of the Chamber of Depfitie4 have subscribed sums for the relief of the insurgents. Most d the public schools and the Parisian bar also have subscribed. The sums, it is true, are small, but France is not a wealthy country, and the universal feeling of sympathy only shows what the people would do if they had the means. The Polytechnic School has subscribed 50/. ; the Normal School, 361. ; the Central School of Arts and Sciences, 161. ; and the Parisian bar, 381. The Government are anxious to repress any popular demonstration which may give of f ence to Russia or other powers ; but, as far as can be judged from the official organs, even the Ministers feel great sympathy in the cause. Some nights since police agents were sta tioned in the pit of the Opera to prevent any outbreak of popular feeling, and, according to the National, the bullet of Dialle ea Quatre was prohibited on Wednesday night, because, the scene being laid in Poland, some noisy demonstration was likely to be made. The same jour nal relates Cho following occurrence:—"As the KING to-day, at three o'clock, was driving in his carriage across the Place de la Concorde, on his way to g citizen took off his hat, awl saluted his MAJESTY with the cry of f Firs ill Pologne 1' This was immediately repeated by some five, and-twenty persons, and it was sufficiently loud, notwith standing the noise of the carriage aftd stir galloping of the horses, to mach the ears of the fi . rxo, who, p#4 4P: 0 4 1 13g i t ; threvl himself back in Ms verriuge," We have no later news from Cracow in these papers, kit she 134ilowisig eleSaila of what occurred in the surrender of that tossa win . be sarta with interest.

At Dresden the fate of the unfortunate l'olP h 4; eXcited the deepest sympathy; and in the tiocond Chamber, on the 4th instant, a strong demonstration was made lit their favour. M. DE GABELENTZ, in pursuance of a notice given the pre ceding day, asked the Ministry Whether it was true that all Poles, without excepting even those who had long been set tled in Saxony, had been ordered to leave the kindoni, and if this were so, to explain the motives for such an extreme measure, in order to satisfy those who feared that the sacred rights of hospitality were not in any degree violated by Saxony, which country had ever made it a point of honour to observe them most religiously. The Minister of State, M. DE FULKENSTEIN, declared that he was the more ready to give the explanation demanded, as the measure had been unjustly condemned. It was, he said, genera', but was taken in such a manner as to leave those affected by it sufficient time to make every requisite preparation for de parture and arrangement; for the future. The measure, though genera', did not exclude exceptions, and the number of Poles in Saxony whom it could be applied to was only sixteen, but he could not make known in a public sitting the motives which had induced the Government to adopt it. M. DE GABELENTz: then made a motion, that the Chamber should insert in its minutes that it was confident that the Ministry would modify the measure taken with regard to the Poles in such manner, that those who were able to prove they had a legal domicile in Saxony should continue to reside in the kingdom. Upon the motion of M. DE LESCIIAU, the Chamber went into secret committee. This secret sitting lasted two hours, at the end of which the Chamber resumed its public sitting, and after a further debate, the motion of M. DE GABELENTZ was carried unani mously. _ _ We subjoin some miscellaneous extracts from the papers The St. Petersburgle journals, of the 25th ult., publish the reports of General Prince Andronikoff, Commander-in-Chief of Southern Dagbestan According to these reports, part of the Caucasus may be regarded as entirely pacified. Generals Niesteroff and Freitag have made, in the forest of Sheki, openings like those effected in the wood of Goilo in December last. The Russian detachments have had some skirmishes with the Schetchenes, which latter were worsted, and their country, one of the most difficult in the Caucasus, is thereby opened to the Russian armies. On the right wing of the line of the Caucasus, the warlike tribe of the Ahadseks. wh!ch amounts to about 100,000, has made Its submission to Russia. A letter from Stutgard of the 2d lust. says :—" Yesterday the municipal council, 'with M. Gutbrod, the mayor, at their head, pro ceeded to congratulate the King on the approaching marriage of the Prince, his son. with the daughter of the Emperor of Russia, the Princess Olga. After having thanked the deputation for their friendly sentiments, the King said : ' I take advantage of this oppor tunity; gentlemen, to tranquillise certain persons not only in our country, but throughout the whole of Germany, who have seen in this circumstance cause of alarm for the Independence of our future policy. The union which my beloved SON is about to contract is entirely unconnected with political considerations ; and you may rest satisfied that as long as I. live I shall follow the exclusive system of German interests, which is that of our country. I feel convinced that my son, when called on to govern, will act as I " , A letter from Posen, of the sth inst., states that about 20 lila tional arrests had been just effected there ; amongst them were some ecclesiastics.

At any rate, the present state of things is indefensible. Either give no money, or give enough to do good. The celebrated Dr. BUCKLAND holds the two professor ships of geology and mineralogy in Oxford; and how many pupils does the reader think that this philosopher of European reputation has had in both classes dining the last fouryears? 107, says the return. That is, less than an average of ten for each class in the year! Dr. DAUBENY'S average annual number for his botany class is six, and for chemistry eleven ! The Professor of Modern History averages twenty four ; while the Professor of Experimental Philosophy beats all his colleagues, having had, in 1842, seventy-five pupils; in 1843, ninety-one; in 1844, sixty-two; and in 1845, eighty five. But there may be, and probably is, some special reason for these larger numbers, as we bee by the returns that a considerable proportion comes each year from one college (Christ Church), where probably some regulation exists for enforcing attendance. In Cambridge things are no better than in Oxford. The Professor of Anatomy had only six pupils last year, and the Professor of Chemistry only ten : the average number of pupils with the Professor of Botany is only /Vi enty ; the Pro fessor of Natural Tbilosephy has only ten to fiften pupils a year; the Professor of Mineralogy cannot state tLe number, not, however, we may safely conclude, because they are too numerous to count ; and the Professor of Modern History has given no lectures at all for the last four or five years, " not only (we quote from a letter written by the professor, which is quite a curiosity in its way), because I had become deaf and old, but because I found that I had lost my audience, and that if my lectures were to have any chance of doing good they must be published, which was accordingly done, precisely as I had been accustomed to deliver them." To the loss of his uni versity audience, then, the public is indebted for Professor SMYTH'S works on " Modern History," and the " French Revolution." But why did he lose his university audience? " The number of pupils," lie says, " that used to attend were, for some years, from 70 to 90 ; but when the examina tion, called the Little-go,' was instituted, I lost a consider able part of my audience, one-fourth at least. My audience afterwards dwindled down to about 18 or 20." We believe that with most professors, as with Professor Ssivrir, recent changes in the educational system at the Universities, which have the effect of absorbing more and more of the time of the young men in classical and mathematical studies, have been the cause why their lecture-rooms have been emptied. This is the explanatioa given by Mr. LYALt in his strictures on the English University system, in his work on America. But what can justify to foreigners, 'whatever tbere may be to explain, the desert state of lecture-rooms presided over by such men as Professor S3IYTII and Professor BUCKLAND ? Nothing can be more lamentable than the frequent occa sions in which, of late years, public attention has been drawn to the serious delinquencies—to use the mildest term—of which, in our courts of law, the clergy of the Established Church, whom, from their position, we are taught to regard as the appointed instructors in both moral and religious edu cation, have been found guilty. Our columns of Friday contained the:report of the second day's trial of an action for damages, in which a reverend gentleman, a doctor of di vinity,".an incumbent, having the cure of souls, and the recipient of a large income, figured as the defendant, and in which the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. We are not about to descant upon the evidence upon which this verdict was obtained ; suffice it to say, that a special jury, composed of men of property, education, and intelligence, whose sym pathies, if they could at all be supposed to sway :their judg ment, would be far more likely to be entertained on behalf of the reverend defendant, a gentleman in: their own rank of life, and moving in their own circle, than of his accuser, who had been his menial, found the charge to be true, although this divine enjoyed all the advantages which wealth can afford, especially in securing for him the services of the Attorney-General, who has made himself so distinguished an advocate in cases of this peculiar description. Thus, then, has another instance been added to the black catalogue of clerical offences. Are these shocking errors traceable in any degree to the loose manner in which the Universities educate, and the hierarchy suffer, candidates fur holy orders to be inducted into the Establishment ? How notoriously loose is the life too generally led by young men at Oxford or Cambridge; and where is the restraint upon the destined and youthful recipients of clerical prefer ment from following in the crowd of his dissolute com panions ? Once formally through his degree and the subse quent nominal examination of the bishop, he immediately acquires, without test, let, or impediment, the full enjoyment of his family patronage in the Church, the emolument of which he has been taught to regard, from his earliest years, as being as much his own as that of the ancestral domain is of his elder brother. How different is the probationary course with the ministers of other persuasions. The evidence of their fitness for the sacred office must be well established previous to their entrance upon it by a long course of arduous study, supported by a life of irreproachable purity. Surely the time has come when some better means should be adopted by those seats of learning for grappling with the evils by which the public mind is, as it were, gangrened and which spring, too, from the very sources which are regarded, and which they boast, to be within their own special juris diction. For years have the Dissenters claimed the right of admission into the Universities, which bigotry and spiritual monopoly have, as yet, unfortunately too successfully resisted. This narrow-mindedness is reaping the penalty of its own selfishness, for we are constantly witnessing the unhappy fruits of the education pursued within the college walls; whereas, if the doors of the national :academies had been long ago liberally thrown open; as they ought to have been, to the disciples of every creed, bigotry and superstition would have soon become shrouded under the auspices of that enlightenment which is the sure result of permitting all classes to mingle together, and generously to com• pete for the honours of the state as well clerical as laical. No doubt much has of late years been done by the Legislr.- ture towards eradicating in part, and more in amending, many of the administrative evils of the established religion, but it is greatly to be regretted that so little has been effected towards improving the constituted ecclesiastical tribunals for visiting in a more efficacious manner the recog nised functionaries of religion with the severest penalties when they have been adjudged guilty of such atrocious charges as have, unfortunately, within the last few years:been so frequently brought against them. To the exemplary manner in which the ministers of the various classes to which we have referred have discharged their solemn vocations, are we indebted that the State religion has been compelled to adopt even such partial and scanty reforms as those to which and (if we have alluded, and we do sincerely hope that the example fipeeensitsihbt.eieeidrs,hto,lig.uill,slesabolyloinntsbhee followed,Sc ot e c g l Church, in the investigating, guilty) punisl t ii o n t g h such . ministers of religion assacri- Church, a u t ra i c fi nh e d a g its rat ification spiritof their lustful incorporated. pr pro pensities, in our statute-book.

To a tribunal so constituted there can ' be no con elusive. objection; every one must be satisfied of the pQ2impar tiality with which its judgment is arrived at. The wise provision of our Brittish co nstitutional law, that ever y con tested fact in which the life, the property, the reputation of any man is involved, shall be left to the decision of his peers, is there acted up to, and the public, satisfied that strict jus tice is done, at once acquiesce, without cavil or complaint, in the ultimate decision. Such, however, cannot be the case when the entire matter is to be investigated before a single judge, whose prejudices and feelings may possibly lead him to take too lenient a view of the circumstances, and it is to the comparative impunity with which so many grave of fenders against all that is sacred, against all that they have so solemnly undertaken to fulfil, and by pre cept and example to inculcate, have been suffered to escape, that the confidence of the public mind has been altogether shaken in the decisions of the clerical courts of judicature.

SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.—(TIIIS DAY.) A special meeting of the shareholders in the above line was held this day, at the Nine Elms station, Vauxhall, for the purpose of giving their sanction to several Bills for branch lines to be made from this line. Mr. Chaplin took the chair at twelve o'clock. The SECRETARY then informed the shareholders that the present meeting was merely a formal one, to get the assent of the shareholders to such Bills as should be laid before them. The sanction of a large body of the shareholders had been substantially obtained at a previous meeting, and the present formal assent was required by the standing orders of the House of Commons. The CHAIRMAN said that a great number of the Bills had already passed the Standing Orders Committee. The SECRETARY then read the following list of Bills, and explained the powers to be obtained in each:-- Ist. Bill for amending the Acts relating to the London 'and South-Western Railway Company, and to authorise the said Company to enter into contracts, and to complete arrangements with certain other railway companies. 2d. Bill to enable the London and South-Western Railway Company to extend their railway to High-street, Southwark, and to the Thames, near London-bridge, in the county of Surrey. 3d. Bill to enable tlac: London and South-Western Rail way Company to make a branch railway to Hampton Court bridge, in the county of Surrey. 4th. Bill to enable the London and South-Western Rail way Company to make a branch railway to Epsom, in the county of Surrey. sth. Bill to enable the London and South-Western Rail way Company to make a branch railway to Chertsey and Egiiam, in the county of Surrey. 6th. Bill to enable the London and South-Western Rail -1 way Company to make a branch railway to Farnham, in the county of Surrey, and Alton,_ in the county of Southampton. 7th.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A young man applied to Mr. Jardine for advice under these circumstances. lie had been apprenticed to a printer for some time, and had been working lately tii• another printer, to whom he had not been regularly "'turned over," but who had possession of his indentures. He wanted to leave this person, and had frequently demanded hisinden tures, but his employer refused to give them up. Mr. JARDINE said that the transfer of an apprentice, ex- Cept by the ordinary mode of turning over, was not legal„' and the applicant was not bound by it. He could leave his present employer any time he liked, and his indentures would not bind him to serve any master but the one he had covenanted with. The applicant attic(' if his original master could obtain the Indentures from the person who now held them? Mr. JARPINE said that he could if he liked.

ALTF.RATIONS IN THE ROYAL NAVAL UNIFORMS.—The alterations in the royal naval uniforms have been decided on, and her Majesty, on having them submitted to her by the Admiralty, has been pleased to signify her approval of the same. 'they will be promulgated in a few days, and among them, we have reason to believe, will be the fol lowing :—Admirals, captains, commanders, lieutenants, masters, mates, and second' masters will have devices of silver embroidery, whilst the medical officers and secreta ries will have gold embroidered devices. Full admirals, it is said, will have for devices on their epaulettes a sword and baton, and three stars; vice •admirahs, the same, with two stars; and rear-admirals, the same, with only one star. The senior post captains are to have a star on their epau lettes; captains of less than three years' standing the star, crown, and anchor; commanders, the crown and anchor; lieutenants, the anchor; master with two epaulettes, the de vice of crossed anchors ; mates, one epaulette, with the device of an anchor wrought on it ; second masters, one epalette with the device of crossed anchors. The head of the medical department, epaulettes with the device' of a crown worked in gold. ' Inspectors and deputy medical in speetoi a, and admirals' secretaries, two epaulettes Wit the device of a crown wrought in gold, the bullion to distinguish the grades. Surgeons and pursers, two plain epaulettes each ; 'and assistant surgeons, one plain epatil:4te. Ihe great coat will be of uniform shape ; straps the devices for each rank worked on the shoulder, O's:noting the grade. The cap will have, in addition to the, gold band, a crown over it. These, it is understood ill Well-Informed circles, are to be as nearly as possible the Elteracions in the naval uniform, but the dif f erent FlaSSee of officers will be more plainly denoted by tivo positions of the buttons on the coats. THE BELLlaornox.—The Bellerophon took in her pow der at Spithead on Thursday morning, the boy having been towed out by the Rocket. The Redney's crew were em ployed on Thursday and Friday in putting everything " ship shape" on board their new ship, but enters arrived yesterday for the Bellerophon to go into harbour; consequently the powder was again got out, and at noon she was towed in by the Echo. As she passed the platform, where a number of persons had congregated, she was much admired for her orderly appearance—masts standing well, ropes all taut, and altogether looking as though she had been in commis sion twelve months. She is to dismantle, and return her stores and provisions, which work will, it is' said, be com men&d to-day, and report says that the ship's company of the Rodney will receive the thanks of the Admiralty, and fourteen days' pay, and richly dothey deserve it. In our re port on Wednesday, on the 'fitting out of this ship, we have to regret that we omitted to pay the tribute due to the officers and men of Portsmouth Dockyard, to whom the ex pedition of her fit out is in a great measure owing, and who so ably seconded the exertions made by the Rodney's crew. The yard men had the lower rigging to fit and get ready to go over the mast-heads, to rig the lower yards before they were crossed, and to gammon the bowsprit. 'the expedi tious way in which all the ship's furniture and stores were issued and brought down to the ship gave infinite satisfac tion to the executives of the Rodney, everything was so well arranged that not a moment's delay occurred; this may be entirely attributed to the good management and method pursued throughout by Mr. Purdoe and Mr. Brown, the active and intelligent masters attendant at the dockyard. In the fitting vut the Bellerophon we observed that the most tedious operation was the eammoning and the clothing of the bowsprit ; it threw all the other part of the rigging back : in consequence of the seamen in clothing the bow sprit having to stand on slung stages, not many hands can be placed on this work. We see no good reason why every " advanced ship" that has her bowsprit in should not have it gammoned. The gammoning is chain, which would not much deteriorate by lying up exposed to weather; it might, however, be easily protected from wet. The bOstays and collars should, we think, always be kept ready for gang on, which would much expedite the rigging of the advanced ships when brought forward at short notice. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 12.—Her Majesty's ship Calcutta, 84, was this morning towed down the harbour from Hamoaze by the Confiance and another steam-tug,just arrived from Ports.. mouth. At two o'clock P.M. she came to anchor in Plymouth Sound, and, immediately the steamers left her, saluted the flag of Port-Admiral Sir John West. The Calcutta was on Saturday last, the 7th instant, quietly lying at her moorings in Hamoaze, with the other ships in ordinary. On Monday, the 9th, Captain N. Lockyer, of the Albion, received orders from the Admiralty to fit her out with all expedition. At that time she had her three lower masts and bowsprit in, and water-tanks on board; by the evening her lower yards were hoisted. On Tuesday morning her top-gallant masts were up, and yards across ; in the afternoon she took in her cables and dockyard stores, guns, victualling stores, and water. This (Thursday) morning her studdingsail gear was rove, and she is now ready for sea. The discipline end alacrity of the officers and crew of the Albion has, in the fitting of the Calcutta, been exemplified in a manner most creditable to themselves and highly gra tifying to their commander, Captain Lockyer. During the progress of the work the men observed the most quiet atten tion to their duties; they laboured two hours extra daily, and have taken their dinners on board. It is said that a bet of 2001. has been made dependent on the superior expedition used in fitting the Bellerophon at Portsmouth, or the Cal cutta at Plymouth. SHEERNESS, THURSDAY.—The ordnance works going on here are progressing favourably. The contract is in the hands of active and enterprising practical men, whose object, from all we can see and learn, is to execute the work well, if not with dispatch. The new battery opposite the ;dockyard-gate has its platform levelled, the north bank of the ditch to protect it on the sea view is well-nigh completed, and the brick mus ketiy wall to flank it on the west, and connect it with the old fortifications at Garrison-point, is now in the course of erection. Another battery to the eastward, to which this is to be con. nected by another musketry-wall, has just been commenced ; it will be continued into the bastions extending from the _ _ Thames to the Medway. Profiles have recently seen set up on the Mile-town side of these fortifications for a line of bastions to protect the drawbridge, by means of which alone will there be communication by land either with Blue-town or the dockyard, for when all is finished they will be com pletely insulated. Three pattern traversing-platforms with their gun-carriages mounted, have recently arrived from Woolwich, and workmen are now proceeding to fit the masonry, at the several places marked for guns on the old works at Garrison-point, to receive them. The platfot ms are 16 feet it length by 41 feet in breadth, and, with the gun-carriages mounted, from 6to 8 feet in height. They are composed of massive beams of fir strongly jointed ; those for the 56- pounder guns are of African oak. Forward they will be connected by an iron pivot fixed in the ground close to the parapet, while aft they will traverse the masonry grooved to receive their wheels in a semicircle. The guns will be fired over the parapet, and can thus be pointed in any direction. They will recoil on the platform on which they are fitted, and it has been proved will not in the least dis turb the small pivot to which the massive platforms are secured. They have been well denominated a one-gun battery," since one gun thus mounted forms a battery in itself. WOOLWICH, MARCH 13.—The war schooner Adder, Lieu tenant Knollaert commander, belonging to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, left Flushing on the 6th inst., and, after touching at Sheerness and Chatham to afford the offi cers on board an opportunity of visiting these dockyards, came up the river yesterday to Woolwich, and now lies at moorings off the deckyard. At half-past ten o'clock this morning nine officers landed from the Adder, and were con ducted over the dockyard by Commodore Sir Francis A. Collier, C.B. and K.C.H., and Commander Smith. On en tering the factory they appeared surprised to witness the extent of the building and the powerful nature and beautiful workmanship of the machinery performing its various duties. On leaving the foundry they were conducted to the Royal Albert first-class ship-of-war, of 120 guns, bunging from a design by Mr. Lang, and on entering and descending to the bottom of that splendid vessel, appeared astonished at her great magnitude, and the height of the frame timbers. The Dutch officers remained a considerable time in the interior of the vessel, walking from end to end, and ad miring the strong and massive timbers, and the substantial manner in which they are joined to each other. They then proceeded to the Terrible war steamer, and were conducted over that vessel by Captain Ramsay, her commander. The power of her guns and the magnitude of the machinery on board excited their admiration, and they expressed them selves greatly pleased with all they witnessed in this fine vessel. They also visited the mast-house, the new docks, and saw• mill, and the blacksmiths' shop. The crew of the Swallow steam vessel, Master Commander Sherlock, will be paid off on Tuesday next, and, with her officers, be transferred to the Violet steam-vessel, and pro ceed to Dover to resume their duties at the packet station. The Adventure transport-ship arrived at Woolwich on Wednesday, and will leave for Portsmouth to-morrow. The Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Jen kins, was tried down the river yesterday, and will leave to morrow. Letters have been received from the Lizard steam-vessel. sister to the Myrmidon, at - present on her passage to South America. They are dated St. Jago, Cape de Verde Islands, Feb. 1, 1846, where she arrived in 24 days from England, having experienced very heavy gales for about a week before she arrived at Madeira. The steaming qualities of the ves sel are described as being very good, and she is much ad mired by nautical men. The engines work remarkably well, and 'one float at the extremity instead of two reefed was found to be best. The Lizard has been found an excellent sea-boat, as she ran within 250 miles of Madeira in five days and then had to put her fires out, and yet she beat the Endy mion frigate by two days from Falmouth to Madeira. When the vials of the Lizard ran short, the floats were taken off, and she rode like a duck under storm, trysails never taking a drop of water on board ; but she does not sail well on a wind, only two knots and a half per hour, and five knots be fore it. She is to proceed to Ascension or St. Salvador fcr coals, there being only about twenty tons at St. Jago , te n of which an American - frigate had kindly lent to the Govern ment. The Ardent, steam-vessel, refitting at Woolwich, isordetrieold to be hastened, and when ready for sea will proceed to Lieu- Mediterranean to relieve the Sydenham steam- es 1 i t n en a an y t e - r C y o d m e n ca la y n e d d e s r t !l t a e. cd i on i ealsd;dtehnehlaanittewr ahsav builtvg biseseecnafnoaudna.d William The Monk steam-vessel, blaster-Commanderotransport-ship, front ant, Deptford take on board troops for foreign service. towed the to Gravesend 'Trafalgar, ye new ste r d N a 2 t 80 A curious order of the police was issued at Berlin on the 2d instant.
