Long continued ill-health had induced the Proprieior a short time Since to announce the business of this Hotel for disposal, he having been disabled from paying that ative personal attention to its management, which an extensive patronage by tke public deservedly 'god Indispensably required. It has, therefore, become necessary for the advertiser, W. Gray, that he should with returning health thankfully make known his relinquishment of all intention, for the present, of letting this estab lishment; his usual personal superintendence of which he has the happiness again to be fully able to resume. In addition to this announcement to the public, W. G. has pleasure in advising the frequenters of this house—his commercial friends more particularly—of his having succeeded in obtaining possession of a portion of the adjoining premises, so as to have enlarged the ac commodations of the hotel. Without wishing to assume a credit for past attention to his cus tomers beyond that which they may properly have expecte 1, W. o. cannot help adding an assurance for the future to all his visitors, that it will ever be his wish to merit the patronage he receives, and his ambition to maintain the Swan among the first in the class of Com mercial Hotels.

How much were those envied who fortunately had with them one of NICOLL'S PALETOTS ! This garment, in Its popularity, may be compared to the Blouse of Germany, and is, during the hot weather, worn without another coat. They are of two kinds, one resembling in colour the usual attire of an English Gen tleman ; but that which was so much worn at these races is of the same nature as those shipped by the Patentees for the East and West Indies, being very light and porous, and which, from its colour, has obtained the singular nick-name of the' Dust-ah !"

The cloth is Made of Llama Wool, a fabric most agreeably soft and elastic to the touch, and is one-third the weight of ordinary woollen clothes, but it corresponds in shades of colour. It is very durable, and naturally a xepellent of rain, yet so porous as to admit of a due escape of exces live bodily beat. These advantages, with the very moderate price charged, renders the Registered Paletot worthy the attention of all. They can purchased in London, of the Patentees only, at their Wareroones, b 1 e 14, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill, THE public is respectfully cautioned that H. J. and D. NICOLL, Court Tailors, have never granted the Li cence to any other house in London of making and selling the LLAMA. CLOTH REGISTERED PALETOT. The celebrity so 1u5 .. ,t 1 3' earned by this light water-proof and gentlemanly overcoat has ; 11u uced many otherwise respectable tradesmen to assume a simi ',ant). of name, but in that only can it resemble the, true Paletot. t . t . has been deemed advisable to state that the registered Paletot of Id _atuft Cloth can only be purchased of the Patentees, in London, va-, H., J., and D.

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS. (An Essay for 1846.) " Of human ills and frailties I discourse, Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd. Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen, Which young and gentle, the matured and sage, The lonely and the mated—all sustain. In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." 3. WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ; With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health frill threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as thehrtitles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms ou which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our ow - n keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for. this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit. To be had of ,-herwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147, Fleet-street ; Hannay, 63, Ostord• street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; or direct from the Author, 21, Arundel-street, Strand, who may be ad vised personally on these matters daily till Three, and in the Ever - ngs from Seven till Nine.

In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a BOnus was declared in June 1829, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an average of the different Ages ; and two subsequent divisions of nearly equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842. On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001. 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 ease a value not under 501. In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared on the 4th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1844, and the same is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted), between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and also by the Agents in the Country Districts. Notice is hereby given, that assurances which expire at Midsum mer Day must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with Mr. Sams, 1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall; or with the Company's agents throughout the kingdom, otherwise they become void.

The Prefect of the Seine, Count Rambuteau,ll. Cunin Gridaine, [the Minister of Commerce, the Prince de Ligne, the Belgian Minister, a great number of members of both Chambers, of the Courts of Justice, of the Chamber of Commerce, most of the administrators of the different rail. way companies, capitalists, stockbrokers, and journalists, took their seats in the first train, which left at quarter past six o'clock. Although between 700 and 800 passengers were assembled in the debat cadere, the service was so well orga nised, and the precautions adopted by M. Pereire and the commissaries of the ceremonies were so efficient, that no con fusion took place._ Files of Municipal Guards were drawn at certain distances across the passage, and prevented a rush towards the waggons. Only one act of insubordination was committed, and that by Admiral Rosamel, who, having forced the consigne of the Guards, was enzpoigne" by the Municipal Guards, and lost his seat in the first train. The second train, conveying about the same number of passen gers, departed at seven o'clock. The Dukes de Nemours and Montpensier had left at four o'clock P.M. on Saturday, for Amiens. Our train soon entered the plain of St. Denis, after pass ing through a short tunnel, running under the external Boulevard, and the only subterraneous gallery of the whole line. The station of St. Denis, which rises considerably over the neighbouring plain, presents a beautiful view of the environs of Paris, bounded on one side by the heights of Montmartre, the Batignoles, and St. Chaumont, and farther on by Mont Valerien and its citadel, and the range of hills of Marly and St. Germain-en-Laye. On leaving the station of St. Denis, we passed close to Fort la Briche, and entered the valley of Montmorency, the favourite resort of the Parisians, over which are scattered innumerable country seats and chateaux, which greatly add to the natural beauty of the country. The most remarkable villages of that charming valley are, to the left, Sannois, St. Gratien, and Franconville, and on the right, at the bottom of the valley, St. Leu Tavernv, Ermont, and Le Plessis Bouchard. The road then runs through a deep trench, cut in the solid rock, and enters the valley of the Oise close to the ancient abbey of Maubuisson, some turrets of which are still standing. We next reached Pontoise, which is partly built on a cliff or steep rock, surmounted by the church of St. Maclou. At a small dis tance from that town the road crosses the Oise, over a bridge of three arches. The country is highly variegated and fer tile, and the village of L'lle Adam, with its delightful coun try seats and the park of the old chateau, is not one of its least ornaments. After L'lle Adam the aspect of the coun try changes—to the right extend high hills, and to the left an immense plain, covered with villages, corn fields, and orchards. We next descried Beaumont, rising as an amphitheatre, on the side of a hill, washed by the Oise, at the distance of about half a mile. The scenery afterwards is not remark able as faros Creil, where the St. Quentin branch is to unite with the northern line. Beyond that town we took leave of the Oise, and crossed the village of Nogent-les-Vierges, and a succession of beautiful plantations, passing occasionally through cuttings or on high embankments, until we arrived at the Liancourt station. We here stopped a moment to ad mire the chateau, its water-works,imd the manificent park. Between Liancourt and Clermont there is nothing worthy of notice, and beyond the latter the country becomes naked and almost barren, and the road passed over the highest table land of Picardy, where a distant village here and there catches the eye. At Quinquempoix the road reaches its greatest elevation, it being the point of separation of the valleys of the Oise and Somme. After passing the station of Breteuil, and the villages of Mesnil St. Firmin, Tartigny, Paillart, and Folleville, where commences the longest trench of the road, we entered into a country diversified with hills, valleys, water-courses, and ponds, and passed the villages of Ailly-sur-Noye, Guyen• court, Dommartin, Cottanchy, and Boves. Between the latter and Amiens the country is bare and flat, presenting an almost continual succession of bogs and marshes. _ . The country beyond Amiens presents nearly the same ap pearance as on the Paris side. Beyond Corbie, green hills extend to the right and left, and the road crosses the Somme three times in a distance of six miles. At La Neuville com mence the great Pampa', by means of which the road passes over the elevated ground which separates the valley of the Somme from that of the Scarpe and Deule. The view here is extremely monotonous. The road occasionally runs through deep trenches, but as we approached Arras the coun try, irrigated by the waters of the Scarpe, assumed a more pleasing and varied aspect. The Princes had just left Arras as we arrived there. Arras is the first regular fortress which we met en the way ; but, although the advanced works, fosses, drawbridges, and narrow gates have been preserved, its ramparts are no longer intended for the purposes of war, having been con verted into green plots and delightful promenades. Between that town and Douai the road traverses a continual plain, highly cultivated, but dull in the extreme. The village of Fampoux, where the branch to Calais and Dunkirk is to commence, is situate within five miles from Arras. At seme distance farther the road crosses the Scarpe, and enters the Department of the North at Brebieres, and a little farther the ramparts of Douai. We arrived at a quarter past 4 o'clock at Lille, where the Princes had preceded us by about 20 minutes. On alight ing, the Dukes de Nemours and de Montpensier were con ducted to a tent, erected for the occasion, under the ramparts of the city, where they were congratulated by the civil and military authorities. The Archbishop of Cambrai, followed by his clergy, next harangued their Royal Highnesses, and afterwards bestowed their benediction on the road. The Princes then held a review of the Natonal Guard and troops, and repaired to the Town-hall, w here they received the French and Bel g i an authorities.' At seven o'clock they re paired to the debarcadere of the railroad, accompanied by the Ministers of Justice, Commerce, and Public Works, and pre sided at a most sumptuous banquet, of which between 2,000 and 3,000 persons partook. After dinner they assisted at a Symphonic Heroique of the composition of M. Berlioz, which was executed by the bands of the 50th Regiment of In fantry, of the Hussars, and Artillery; and at ten o'clock P.M. a ball was offered to them at the Town-house. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

We do not know that we ever saw Ned Smith in better condition, and for one now a little passee, he looked everything his friends could wish. Nevertheless, those who fancied the younger and fresher man were in the ascendant, and ruled the market, 6 to 4 and longer odds being sported on Makepeace, till " the business" became stagnant, and money went begging. The issue, however, proved the correctness of prevalent opinion, for after a fair start, Makepeace, whose competitor ran beautifully with him for the better half of the distance, drew ahead, and finally defeated Smith by half a dozen yards. Smith never ran better, but when his opponent has done half his work, we shall be prepared to concede him yet higher praise than that of defeating his antogonist of to-day. Never theless, Makepeace has proved himself a speedy, galac, and clever runner at the distance. GREAT TEN-MILE MATCH AND HURDLE -RACE, AT WALWORTIL— The announcement that the three first walkers in England had en tered to compete in a ten-mile match, for a cup of 251. value and other secondary emoluments, might alone have been expected to as semble a numerous gathering of people, on a line Monday in June ; but to witness such " tall walking" as it was this day our sweltering lot to time beneath a scorching sun, was " passing strange, 'twas wonderful." The first match then for ten miles, fair toe and heel, brought Benjamin Butler, Charles Westhall, and George Bradshaw. To give a summary of their performances would be to recapitulate the best matches in our pedestrian chronology for the last three years. The men had all met before, and knew each others prowess and peculiar qualifications. At ten minutes before five all being in readiness, a fair start was effected, and the trio toed and heeled it an awful pace. Butler led at the first lap round by 20 yards, Bradshaw four yards in his rear, and Westhall last. The second round Westhall was in advance, with Butler in close attend ance, Bradshaw well up. The third Butler led, and at the fourth, which completed the first mile, Westhall came by with a lead of only three yards, Butler second, and Bradshaw fifteen yards in the rear. Time 8 min. 22 sec. It may be as well here to remark, that upon measurement, it was decided that the roped circumference of the ground was taken for general purposes to be a quarter of a mile, al though, as it fell some yards short of that distance, it was decided that forty-one circuits should be taken by the men to complete the ten miles. We shall not detail every round as recorded in our note book, bet merely give the close of each mile Ist mile, Wesih - all, Bm. 225., Butler 3 yds, Bradshaw 15 yds. be hind. 2d mile, Butler and Bradshaw, 16m. 455., Westhall 16 yds. behind. 3d mile, Butler, 25m. 75., Westhall 20 yds, Bradshaw 3 yds. in the rear. 4th mile, Butler and Westhall together, 34m., Bradshaw 40 yds. behind. sth mile, Butler (4 yds. in advance) 42m. 295., Westhall and Bradshaw level. 6th mile, Butler (first by 2 yds.), 50m. 485., Westhall 2, Bradshaw 3. 7th mile, Bradshaw (20 yds. in advance), 59m. 135., Butler and Westhall together.

Bradshaw, who was evi•• dently walking in difficulties, was here said to have given in, but he came again. 10th mile, Westhall, 86m., Butler being second by about 100 yds. When we consider the ground walked on (sun-dried turf) and the tropical heat of the day, we take this to be an un matched pertormance for endurance of fatigue and as a specimen of speed. The company in the ground was estimated at 2,000, and the outsiders, who obtained surreptitious peeps, were innumerable. THE HURDLE RlCE.—This'affair, the prize a silver snuff-box, was contested by four men—George Martin Warwick, Knott (of Leicester), and Brown (an amateur). There was also a 14fth man, in the person of Nickle, the Glasgow runner, who never having tried hurdle jump ing, stripped anl went off with the racers, without being entered competing for the prize. This caused some perplexity among the spectators. Nickle went off with the lead, but could not hold it, Martin soon showing in front, and taking his hurdles like a deer; Knott, of Leicester, cast a shoe, and Warwick, though he ran gamely and came in second, was only favoured with a distant back view of little Martin, was bounded in an easy winner by his own distance, The race was never in doubt ; Knott third, Brown fourth, and Nickle any where, Some minor races followed, but as the parties engaged therein are unknown as public men, we shall leave them unnoticed till their feats deserve recording.

MABERLYS NEW NOVEL, " LEONTINE."—The great attraction of this new work of Mrs. Maberly's, consists in its exhibiting one of the most lively pictures of French Court life that has, perhaps, ever appeared. The French character is drawn in all its lights and shades, and the histo rical personages are sketched with the greatest accuracy. The King, fickle and despotic—the Queen, bigoted to the ex treme—the Due de Richelieu, dissipated, daring, and hard hearted, but always fascinating and witty, intellectual and magnificent, selfish and avaricious, a strange compound of contradictions. Hortense, his victim and accomplice, is a most finished portrait of a coquette, and this character is placed in admirable contrast with the clever and accom plished, though vain and frivolous, Marquise de Pompadour, and with the pure and high-souled Leontine. _ _ - [ADVERTISEMENT.]-BOTANIC WATER AND BBAR'S GREA lE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately—the bo tanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and 13 a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. Ross and Sons, 119, and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first introduced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the ani mals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article. All vegetable oils applied to the hair are worse than useless.

CORONER'S INQUEST.-MYSTERIOUS AND ALLEGED SUICIDE of A BOY.—Yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, a length. sued inquiry, which was begun on Friday last, was continued and concluded at the Plough, Lordship-lane, Dulwich, before Mr. Carter, to investigate the cause of the death of George James Benwell, aged 16, in the service of Mr. G. W. Evans, a manufacturer of Piqua tea, which took place under the following mysterious circumstances : Mr. Thomas Roberts, shoemaker, Lordship-lane, said that on Tues day night, between nine and ten o'clock, Mr. Evans called upon him, stating that he and his son had been out for an hoar and a half, and that when he returned he found the house fastened. After he got in he observed written on the door of the bedstead, in chalk, " George Benwell is in the pond behind the house. Give my lave t o all my friends." When he saw that, he procured a pitchf or k, with which he searched the pond, but discovered nothing except a wrl p t ie te e n e of quartering about three feet long, on which was in chalk, " George Benwell." Mr. Enna t that h e was i n of his clothes to go into the water, w h en he observed Mk off a portion a great perspiration. He then sent his son for a boy to dive in the pond. Deceased was rolled a b ou t upon the grass,rs to b .E vane restored them to do so, observin g th a t h e h ad known per Msob after having been two h ours in theeusrgitornedg water. When deceased was taken up it was found that his hands were tied, and that of a cwt. was fastened roun d hi s neck. Mr. Ray,na oqfuapeuir wich, stated that the deceas e d h a d b een dead three usr g eo rfoirr hours when he saw the body. In his opinion drowning was the cause of death. Harriet Benwell, deceased's stepmother, New Cross, Hatcham, said that a few months ago deceased asked her which she would rather do if she were tired of her life, poison or drown herself? She thought deceased had made away with himself. (The boards with the writing on them were produced.) It was witness's o p inion that they were in hi s handwriting. Since this occurrence Mr. Evans has occasionally slept at her house. He came on Thursday or Friday morning, about tlzree o'clock, say were that he could no t sleep at home. [ Deceased was of a dull temper. Some other witnesses exa mined, and the j ur y returned a verdict "That t he deceased drowned himself in a state of temporary insanity." u — sARING -CROSS.-- ROYAL OPHTHAL M I C HOSPITAL, The 29th annual me e ti ng of the subscribers to this charity was held f the president, his Grace yesterday, at the hospital.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) RAMSGATE, JUNE 15.—The Queen Dowager having been pleased to select this port for embarkation for Ostend, a meeting of the in habitants was held a few days since to consider the beat means of giving her Majesty a suitable reception on her arrival, and acknow ledging the honour conferred by this harbour having been selected. A unanimous wish prevailed that an address "should be presented to her Majesty previous to her embarkation, if the same should be agreeable, to ascertain which a copy of the resolution was trans mitted to Earl Howe, from whom the following reply has been re ceived by the deputy:— _ _ _ " Marlborough House, June 13, 1846. " Sir,—l have not lost an instant in submitting your letter, with the enclosed resolution, to Queen Adelaide. " It has been received with deep gratitude ; and I am charged to return her Majesty's best acknowledgments for the affectionate feel ing which prompted the welcome proposed by the inhabitants of ltamsgate to the widow of their late King. Queen Adelaide, how ever, most particularly requests that all public reception may be avoided. It is her Majesty's wish, and, I regret to add, absolutely necessary, in her delicate state of health, that all fatigue and excite ment be avoided on this occasion ; and the Queen will be very grateful to be spared the pain of declining to receive an address prompted by such a loyal and gratifying feeling.--I have the honour to be, &c. " To Samuel Sackette, Esq., Deputy." " HOWE. The splendid steamer, the Black Eagle, has arrived in the harbour, from Woolwich, to convey the Queen to Ostend. The l'orcupine steamer, Captain Bullock, will accompany : the Garland snail steam packet is also in attendance. The royal party is expected to reach itamsgata by the South-Eastern Railway about to-morrow (Tues day), and embark immediately. This town is filling fast with visitors. The facilities of railway communication, added to the continued fine weather, have tended to cause a greater demand for houses than has been known for many years at this early period of the season. The traffic with Ostend continues to cause additional bustle and amusement to the visitors, and adds much to the attractions of this favourite watering-place. IBRAHIM PACHA.. BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY EVENING.—This morning his Serene Highness Ibrahim Paths, accompanied by Colonel Bonfort, Nubar Effendi, Major Dickson, George Richard Collis, Esq., V.C. for Egypt, and the Mayor of the borough, left the Royal Hotel to visit some of our more remarkable and extensive manufactories. The first establishment which his Highness visited was the manu factory and show-rooms of his father's vice-consul, situate in Church-street. This establishment has been described as "an epitome of what Birmingham exhibits in metallurgy." It was ori ginally the property of Sir Edward Thomason, and has long been distinguished as one of tho largest and most perfect establishments of the kind in Europe. Before leaving, a medal was struck com memorative of this the first visit of his Highness to Birmingham, and the party left after making extensive purchases, and evidently much gratified with the scene. The next manufactory visited by his Highness was the glass-works in Broad-street. This estabishment employs MO persons ; has 44 pots, consumes 150 tons of coals a week, and manufactures upwards of three millions pounds of glass per annum. His Highness very quietly lit up his tobacco-roll at a piece of red-hot glass time, and while the Mayor and other visitors were obliged to keep a respect able distance, he stood the heat like a Salamandar. After seeing some few glasses blown, he inspected the process of colouring, or rather dispersing the colour introduced in the original preparation, by the exposure to and applicaticu of delicate blasts of cold air. He had several specimens of coloured glass, in a highly elastic state, made, and gave particular orders to his interpreter to see that it was takengood care of. Having completed his round his Highness made several valuable purchases, and left for Mi. Osler's gas lustre manufactory, where he made inquiry as to the progress of a splendid brass chandelier, or dered for his father, from the agents of this house in London. He next visited the pin manufactory of the Messrs. Phipson, with which he was delighted, and returned to the hotel to luncheon about two o'clock. At three o'clock the distinguished party visited the pen mannfaetnry of Mr. Joseph Gillett. He next inspected, with the Mayor, the celebrated establishment of Messrs. Jennens and Sons, papier mache tea-tray manufacturers, &c., to her Majesty and the Royal Family, and on arrival was met by the senior partners. His Highness, after inspecting a portion of the show-rooms, and, as time was growing late, was desirous of seeing the extensive works of thiS establishment, and was forthwith conducted by Mr. J. R. Jennens, one of the partners, over the whole of the works. During his visit he paid particular attention, and was anxious to have everything correctly explained. We need not say that the whole was fully made known to him, and his Highness, through his interpreter and Major Dickson, inquired the various prices of decorations such as were laid before him, and it is anticipated that large orders will be forwarded to this firm from Mehemet Ali. His Highness returned thanks for the kindness shown him, and, after leaving his autograph, retired, amidst the huzzas of the assembled multitude ; after which he proceeded to Messrs. Hammond, Turner, and Son's, button makers; and, finally, the screw manufactory of Mr. James James, which concluded his visits this day. He resumes them to-morrow. The Mayor had the honour of dining with his Highness in the evening. VISIT OF SOLIMAN PACHA TO WOOLWICH. • General Soliman Pacha having expressed a desire to visit Wool wich previous to his return to Egypt, the Woolwich Company's steam-packet Dryad was specially engaged to convey the General and a select number of his friends from Hungerford-market pier, near Charing-cross to the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and accom plished the entire distance in the short space of time of thirty-eight minutes. Soliman Paella was much pleased with the speed of the vessel, and examined her engines and paddle-wheels during her pro gress down the river. On arriving at the landing-place at the west wharf of the Royal Arsenal, General Soliman Pacha was rowed to the shore in the Ord nance barge, the tido being nearly ebb at the time, and on landing was received by Major-General Sir Thomas Downman, C.D. and K.C.11., Commandant of the Garrison; Colonel Cockburn, Director of the Laboratory department ; Colonel Lacy, Director of the Car riage department ; Lieutenant-Colonel Dansey, C. 8., Lieut tenant-Colonel Colquhoun, and Brigade-Major Cuppage, of the Royal Artillery. Colonel Cockburn conducted the General over the Laboratory Department, where he witnessed the mode in which the various articles of war aro made, and packed ready for service. The model-rooms, the making of balls by compression, and the making and finishing percussion caps for musket-locks, appeared to interest Soliman Pacha, and he listened with satisfaction to the various details of this important branch of the establishment at the Royal Arsenal. On leaving the Laboratory Department, the General was con ducted to the Carriage Department, by Colonel Lacy and Lieutenant- Colonel Colquhoun, and shown the manner in which prepared hides are formed into foil handles. These articles are extensively used in cavalry regiments, and the seamen are taught with them on board the Excellent, gunnery ship, at Portsmouth, the mode of preserving vessels from being boarded by an enemy, the sailors hanging with one hand on the shrouds, and with a cutlass in the other knocking down the enemy while attempting to board the vessel.

The joiners were busy bringing their work to completion, the painters having to come after. The pulpit is to be' covered with velvet, and the whole is to be finished within eight or ten days. We should add that immediately behind the pulpit there is space reserved sufficient to form a vestry; it is 20 feet by 8, and it is laid off to answer that purpose. The destination of this floating church is not, wo understand, yet definitively fixed. It is intended to accommodate about 700 persons; and we doubt not that all who may have the untoward privilege of worshiping within I it, will find this substitute for the stone walls and the firm foundation. to possess all the comfort and convenience which can possibly be ex pected in the eiretunstalicca.—Greenoel Advertiser.
