The following remarks on the defensive preparations said to be commanded by the British Government are from the C onstitutionnel : " It is affected to believe and to assert that the British Government has commanded armaments and that the sea coast is being placed in a state of defence. We are accus tomed to see the military and naval authorities demand si milar measures of precaution every time any circumstance occurs in France to interest them more or less. During the last years of the reign of Louis Philippe, who certainly did not pass for one who indulged in ideas of war, when the Chamber of Deputies voted a credit for the increase of our navy, which was to be divided into annual grants, Admiral Napier and others demanded that ex. traordinary armaments should be prepared, and advised that seamen should be pressed for the service; but there was little attention paid to them. Tho armaments now spoken of in England are not more serious than these of that period. We show in a subsequent article the value to be set on the alarming cries of the English journals. We mean to speak here only of what is ;laid in France. Those reports of war are collected; certaifi parties have an interest in exaggerating them, and they are exag gerated. They are made the foundation of the most absurd commentaries, the most sinister conclusions are deduced from them, and they are converted into fake news. To believe the alarmists the Government is about to bring us back to tha period of the camp of Boulogne, and means of a descent on England have not only been discussed but concerted. Other newsmongers direct the conquering ambition of Louis Napoleon to another quarter. The latter assure us that a decree is about to be published annexing Belgium with France, others that it is proposed to resume the frontiers of the Rhine. Some people will tell you that the Government has views on Geneva, others on Savoy. Evert body is in posses sion of a State secret, everybody is aware of a plan on which depend the destinies of Fraece and of Europe. Is it necessary to say that all those pretended facts arc ri diculous inventions? Assuredly the safety and the honour of France are in good hands. If Louis Napoleon were compelled to maintain in a foreign land the right or the dignity of the nation which placed him at iFs head, he would not be false to the glorious traditions of hit family. But he must be attacked before he will consider it neces sary for him to defend himself, and no power in the universe would think of di,2turbing France in her inde pendence or her interests. In the second place, it has never entered the head "of Louis Napoleon to make an act of unjust a;gression against any State, great or small The elect of 7,500,000 Frenchmen is occupied in organizing his Government in order to give The country an era of order, labour, and prosperity. It is a noble and a grand task. The ideas which occupy his Council are ideas connected with the peace of France and of the world. now, then, are we to regard those reports of war? Simply, as we have already said, as a war ef false reports against the national Government of Louis Napoleon.' HOLLAND. THE HA6TTE., Jay. 17.—The proposition made by our Government to the Germanic Dig to rescind the federal contributions for Luxemburg and Limburg, have been ;met by a resolution on the part of the Diet, which has been approved by the Netherlands Envoy. The Diet has 41so resolved, unanimously, not to approve, upon principle, the division of the contri tions for Luxemburg and Limburg, but to authorise the repartition on the basis of the respective popula tions. The Austrian Envoy has voted for the pro position, nor is it inferred that there will be any mo dification in the obligations of the Netherlands in regard to Limburg and Luxemburg. The Netherlands Envoy is satisfied with this deci sion, though it does not correspond entirely with the demands of his Government. _ . The King has decided that the prizes which have been formerly grcnted in the herring fisheries shall be re-established, and that the sum of 6,400 florins, which has been given for some years for keeping up a floating hospital for the benefit of the herring fisheries, shall be allowed for the present year also. The Netherlands Ambassador at Madrid has in formed our Government that various modifications have been introduced into the Spanish tariff on im ports into Spain and the Bi!earic Isles. Nearly all these modifications are in favour of imports intro duced direct from either Europe or America, and brought in under a foreign flag. The Netherlands ship the Java Courier, Captain Reinetz, has just arrived here from Batavia, having on board the whole of the crew belonging to the British ship Resolution, Captain T. Orbe, from Liver pool to Zarucksee. The crew was picked up by Captain Reinetz at Kamperdun yesterday m orning. Dreadful storms have prevailed on the coast for the last ten days. RUSSIA AND FINLAND. The Stockholm paper Aftonbladet, for January 2, contains the following important, although sorrowful, political intelligence : " It has been remarked that the letters which have than usually arriv.ll here from Finland have b een more tan usually cautious—almost mysterious. This has given rise to tears that the Russian self-ruler had some new violence in store against the weak remains of their former Swedish liberties, which our unhappy brethren on the no r th- eastern shores of the Ba l t i c s till possess. Of late these tears have assumed the shape of the most distressing rumours. A private letter, which has for tunately evaded the control of the Post•office, states that the provincial governors have been declared by an imperial ukase to be independent of the Finnish Senate, and for the future answerable to the general governor alone, who resides in Petersburg. Another report asserts that the Senate has been altogether dis solved. It is not yet known how far these statements sre to be believed, and we anxiously await further in telligence.' In the last sitting of the Roman A r Society, the se cretar y read a letter from the Kin; ?f°Plc'rugsisciaal, announcing his acceptance of the title of honorary m em b er of the society in the class of sovereigns. We are told, says the Athenaeum, that it en has p l eas ed the Q ue en to grant permission to Mr. sow distinguishe d Professor of Comparative Anatomy at' thethe College of Surge ons, to reside in one of the houses on Kew- green which belong ed to the late King of Hanover. Th e gift was accompanied by a very flattering letter from Prince Albert t o the professor. Another of the houses on the same green has, we understand, in a like kindly spirit, been p re _ sented for a residence during life to Dr. Joseph Hooker. We have also to record a mark of royal favour bestowed by a foreign Sovereign on Professor Owen. Our readers know that the King of Prussia institued some time since an Order of Merit, for men distingui s h e d in art and in s cien ce — and which consist s o f sixty cheval i ers , thirty Prussians and thirty foreigners. Am on gst the latter was the late Pr ofessor Oersted; and Profe ssor Owen has been selected by Frederick William to supply the vacancy occasioned by his death. In this order there are now dye Englishmen :—Mr. R. Brown, Sir David Brewster, Si r J.

MORESBY, C,8,, &C., coMMANDER' IN-CHIEF. Her Majesty's ship Daedalus, San Francisco, Oct. 27, 1851. Sir,—l have the honour to report to you the pro ceedings of her Majesty's ship under my command since my last communication from the Sandwich Islands on the 24th m a y, and in so doing I regret not to be the bearer of any news regarding the rn i ss i, g . expedition. We quitted the harbour of Honolulu on the 25th UV/ and hove to outside the port till dusk, in order to await to tha last moment the arrival of any vessel with further orders, then bore up and passed between Oahu and Atooai, as in consequence of the excellent passage made la6t year by the Investigator, by pur suing a direct course through the Straits of Amouckta, I determined to follow the same route, and our own passage having occupied the same time, though several weeks earlier in the year, I think it may be recommended for speed, as it certainly may be for security. . We reached within sixty miles of Amouckta on the 12th of June, in very thick weather, and, having had no observations for some preceding days, we rounded to till the next day, when, having ascertained our position, we steered through the channel to the west ward of Amouckta without seeing land, passed to the westwar d, and in sight of St. Paul's and Sea Ottr islands on the 15th, and stood in to the south-west point of St. Lawrence Island on the 18th, having 1. v‘ carried a fair wind since passing the Aleutian group, Ind 'clute ipaesage thus far having only occupied -- tweialy-fdur clays. !CI; THE SU N Here we boarded the French whale ship Ajax, of Bordeaux, who gave us information that the ice ex tended across the bay of Anadir from Cape Thaddeus to Cape Tchaplin, and thence across the St. Lawrence Island, and that, finding it impossible to get to the northward, she was going to pass to the southward of the island, in hopes of finding clear water to the east- ward. I am sorry to add that, in endeavouring to do this, while approaching too close to the shore in search of whales, this vessel struck, and was totally lost on a reef off the south-east side of St. Lawrence Island a few days afterwards. The Ajax had fallen in with her Majesty's ship Enterprise on the Ist of June, in long. 176 W., at the edge of the ice, which at this period appears to have extended across from Cape Thaddeus (Asiatic coast) to Cape Roumanzoff, on the American coast. On the 19th we sighted the ice, and found cruising off the edge of it several whale-ships awaiting for an opening to proceed northwards. We were detained off the N.W. point of St. Lawrence Island till the 24th, when, having anchored with the stream, near it we were closely beset with the ice, which extended in every direction as far as the eye could reach, and left us no alternative but to remain at anchor to avoid being drifted near the shore. On the 27th, the northern shore of the island being partially cleared of ice, and the ship free, we weighed, and stood to the eastward, in the hope of finding a clear passage in that direction. We succeeded, however, in get ting but a few miles, and from this period till the 9th July we were almost constantly beset with ice, the only clear water being occasionally close in the shore, where we were forced to remain at anchor, sustaining a heavy pressure of ice against the bows from the strength of the tide, which made the ship drive; and it was generally found better to weigh on these occasions, and, having no ice-anchors, to secure the ship with warps and the boats' anchors to the largest floes of ice, and in this manner we gained some miles to the eastward. On one occasion we made sail, and drove the ship through the ice into clear water; but the thumps and shakes she received were so great that I should not have attempted it again but as a last resource. On the sth, whilst at anchor, the weather being very thick, a field of ice, above a mile long and half a mile broad, was set across the ship's bows, and the ship, unable to withstand such a pressure, drove, our efforts to break it by degrees, by the use of our spare mizen topmast as a bumper, and axes and pickaxes, being quite ineffectual. A heavy jerk about mid night, and the ice passing on clear of the ship, showed that something had given way ; and, next morning, finding the ship again driving, we sighted our anchor, and found both flukes, the shank having broken in half about a foot from the crown, The part that came up, as well as the cable, was quite bright, but so great was the strain that I should have been surprised if neither anchor nor cable had given way. It is worth remarking that on the 12th of August, or 34 days afterwards, we picked up the buoy of this anchor (which was a wooden temporary one we had made to save our new buoys whilst among the ice) lying on the beach on the north shore of Port Clarence. It was about fifty feet from the water's edge, and about twenty feet further up than the ordi nary high water-mark, and had no doubt been drifted up on the Bth, when the tide rose unusually high in a south-east gale which blew on that day. The dis tance from where it was lost was about 145 miles, which would give only about four miles and a quarter a day to the northward ; but part of this time the sea was almost filled with ice, and the winds prevailed more then usual from the northward. It may be consi dered, however, as confirming the supposition that all the large quantity of drift wood in this vicinity, and in the midst of which the buoy was found, comes from the southward. The wreck of the American whaler Mary Mitchell, lost about the same time on the west side of St. Law rence Island, drifted also to the northward and through Behring'a Straits, and was fallen in with by the English schooner Eliza, of Hobart Town, in August, to the north-west of East Cspe. In the course of the 6th we weighed, and soon after, securing the ship to the field of ice above- men tioned, drifted with it ten miles further to the east ward. Finally, we observed early on the 9th clear water to the north ward, and shortly after had the pleasure once more of making sail, after three weeks being obstructed and almost constantly beset with ice. We were not, however, able to reach King's Island, as the pack extended thirty miles to the westward of it in a nearly north and south direction, and had the weather not been so very thick in standing over to the Asiatic coast, I should have gone into St. Law rence Bay, but the fogs were so thick we could hardly see a ship's length. On the 15th we found the ice bad cleared away, and succeeded in anchoring in Port Clarence, when I found that the Enterprise had sailed on the 10th on her Arctic service, and that the Plover had proceeded on the 11th to Norton Sound, leaving her decked boat in Grantley Harbour in charge of the storehouse. I, therefore, took advantage of the fine weather to get our topmasts down and refit our rigging, and had the bows caulked, the pitch having been forced out and some copper rubbed off by the ice, which caused a trifling leakage. On the 30th of July the Plover arrived, and I sent the carpenter and a carpenter's mate of this ship aboard to examine into her condition and re port on her defects, and I have the honour to enclose herewith (No. 1) a copy of their report, from which it is evident that in their judgment the vessel is quite fit to continue the service ehe is now employed in for the period she is ordered to remain. Com mander Moore had instructions from Captain Collin son to proceed to Hong-Kong in ceee no man of war arrived during the summer, in consequence, I ima gine, of the Plover's crew having suffered much from scurvy in the past winter. He had also a discretionary power to proceed pre viously to the northward of Behring's Straits for a short period, if he thought it likely to be of any service in gaining information ; and as he was anxious to do so I delayed the repair of his defects, and sup plied him with stores and provisions, till his return, and I proceeded in this ship in company with the Plover to St. Lawrence Bay on the 2d of August, to arcertain if any dispatches had been buried on the island there, in the position pointed out by Captain Collinson in his letter to the Admiralty last year. We had parted company in very thick weather, and on the 4th, on entering the bay, we observed the Plover also running in while we were communicating with an English lorcha from Hong-Kong, ont of which vessel we took a bag of letters for the En terprise. The Plover meantime had anchored inside the har bour, which is formed by a low sandy islet, on the northern shore. We had neither chart nor sailing directions, but as I understood that the passage was safe on either side of the islet, we steered for the eastern one, but the water shoaling very quickly the best bower anchor was let go in four fathoms and a half, sail shortened, and on bringing up the ship swung into three fathoms, and touched very lightly a few times, owing to a slight swell that was setting in. Shortening in cable and laying out the stream anchor, we hove her into deeper water immediately, without of her having received the slightest and then entering by the western h mag e possibility channel we anchor ed in the arbour, where we found several whale ships, principally under English and American colours. No dispatches having been found, I quite agreed with Commander. Moore, that although there was very little probability of his either seeing or obtain ing any intelligence of the Enterprise, or hearing of the position in which the Investigator had passed the last winter, it would be satisfactory that I should be able on my return to carry information as to the state of the ice to the northward, as the unusual time to l assist found i n i n which the sea to t h e sou th war d has been filled with ice would ren d er i t pro b a bl e th a t the packed ice wou dnwernhourekepinrehg thefvuirotuhseryteoars.

I have completed t he Plover with stores, p rovi sions, clothing, and fuel to December, 1833 , as per state meat No. 2, with the only y ich of w s e oin h e ad Pr o e n I have -, served soups and vegetables,excep with a f ew t r ifli n g stores, none of w hoard ; a n d i n additionexceptionnld few medicines left in her charge a supply of s i x mon th s ' provisions and warm clothing for sixty men, calculating that if either crews of the Enterprise or Investigator should fall back in boats, they would be victualled during the winter, without encroaching on the Plover's own stock, and in the summer the Plover will have no difficulty in falling in with whalers about the Straits, any of whom would carry the crews to the Sandwich Islands or elsewhere. In compliance with the third paragraph of your orders, I have replaced all the officers and men of the Pl o ver who either were desirous:of quitting the Arctic regions, or were not considered, alter another most careful medical examination (a previous one having been already held by Captain Collinson's orders in July), equal to passing two more,,winters there. LONDON, To the former I gave the option to volunteer for this ship any petty officers for whom no vacancies might exist, being borne as supernumeraries for your disposal. I have the honour to enclose (No. 3) a general statement of all charges made, with the rea sons against each name ; also the documents con nected with the medical surveys held on the Plo ver's crew, and the volunteers from this ship for the Plover. To supply their places, amounting to 23, an equal number have been sent from this ship, and, in addition, I appointed Mr. Gordon, acting mate, and a steward, at the request of Commander Moore, mak ing her complement hold 41, exclusive of the inter preters. The seamen and marines selected by lot from a large number of volunteers, and all of them men of excellent character. Lieutenant Vernon of this ship, who replaced Lieutenant Cooper, is a most excellent, trustworthy officer, as is also Mr. Foster, assistant-surgeon, whom I sent to the Plover to supersede Dr. Simpson (b) , surgeon, in accordance with the Admiralty Circular, No. 17, dated July 3, 1846, and whom I received on boards for a passage to England ; and I have given Mr. Chads, acting mate, an order to act as lieutenant, vice Vernon. With the exception, therefore, of some few medi cines and preserved soups and vegetables (and to make up for the latter article this year a supply of excellent potatoes was purchased from an English schooner which visited Port Clarence), I consider the Plover is, as far as possible, in a condition to fulfil their Lordships' instructions. I should have quitted the Plover with more satisfaction could I have felt myself justified in replacing Commander Moore, and every one of the Plover's crew, even without their consent. They all either left England in the Plover, and have therefore already passed three winters in the Arctic regions, or have served in the Herald since 1845, and desirous as they were to remain at their posts as long as their bodily strength permitted them, and at present there is no such impediment, I did not feel myself authorised to act contrary to their wishes, although it is impossible not to be anxious at leaving them for two more winters, and looking for ward to the possible effect upon their health which the monotonous nature of such a lengthened service produces in depressing the spirits. Having, however, made a fair offer to all of retiring, coupled, as I felt I might do, with an expression of my conviction that no possible discredit could by possibility attach to their accepting it, I did not feel it right to take any other step. Judging from last year's supply of venison (6,000 lbs.), and several thousand head of ptarmigan ' besides fish, a fair supply of fresh provisions may be reasonably anticipated this winter, although the Es quimaux have obtained such a large supply of their favourite articles of barter from - the ships during the summer, they may not exert themselves so much in order to secure them for the Plover. During our stay at Port Clarence I received an ur gent request, a copy of which I have the honour to enclose (No. 6), from the master of the English schooner Eliza, of Hobart Town, of which Mr. John Johnson, of New-wharf, Hobart Town, is owner, to remove John Thomas, second mate, from his vessel, and having personally assured myself of the truth of his statement, I received him on board this ship, to be sent on shore at the first convenient opportunity. From what I was able to collect from the different whaling ships we fell in with I imagine that the past season has proved so unfavourable that not many will tempted to try Behring's Straits next year. Very flw whales have been taken, and in addition to ex- . , tensive injury from the ice, which, owing to its being so far south, many attempted to force their way through, but unsuccessfully, several have been totally lost. I inclose a list of such as I heard of, but I believe there are one or two others. We found Port Clarence a most excellent harbour : abundance of water and wood, easily procured, and our seine net, used once a week, provided enough for the day for the whole ship's company. The winds were generally moderate, the holding ground excellent, and had it been necessary for the ship to remain for the winter, although it is very doubtful if we could get her into Grantley Harbour, there is a position near Cape Riley where she would no doubt have been perfectly secure. Grantley Har bour has proved quite secure as a winter quarter for the Plover, and the shore abounds in summer with wild onions and berries—excellent anti-scorbutics. In the belief that Commander Moore has trans mitted to you a report of proceedings during the past winter, as also an account of the distressing murder of Lieutenant Barnard, of the Enterprise, at Darabin, I do not allude to these subjects. I am sorry to say that an unfortunate affray be• tween some natives, somewhere near Cape Chaplain, and the crews of some whalers, has occurred this summer. The dispute seems to have originated in the endea vour of the natives to obtain possession by force of some property on board a whaler which was wrecked there, and ended in the loss of some lives on both sides. The arrangements with regard to the Plover were completed before the last week in September ; but as it was probable that i❑ the event of the Enterprise not findieg it practicable to reach Point Barrow, she would be obliged to return to Port Clarence, in which case she might be expected to arrive before the end of September, I delayed our departure till the Ist of October, when we put to sea with a fine northerly wind, which carried us past St. Lawrence Island ; and on the 7th we passed through the Straits of Amouckta, thence we steered a direct course, and arrived at this port on the 2.2 d inst. After a few days' stay I shall proceed to sea for the purpose of carrying out the remainder of your orders, en route to Valparaiso.—l have, & c ., (Signed) " GEO. G. WELLESLEY, Captain." LAW INTELLIGENCE, INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COUR T, Jan. 17. IN RE JOHN MILLS. This insolvent, described as an author, who applied under the Protection Act, was opposed in person by two creditors named Magniss and Thompson. Mr. Cooke supported. The opposing creditors were holders of bills of ex change given by the insolvent, and the question was, what reasonable expectation the insolvent had for con tracting his debts. His wife was in expectation of money by the death of a reladre, and a friend expected a Chancery suit to be settled. He had made himself liable for debts, and had sold for 1201. furniture which cost him more than 3001. Mr. Magniss had discounted bills for the insolvent, and admitted that he had charged thirty per cent. discount. The insolvent said Mr. Mag niss had dia.-gad him sixty per cent. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said if the opposition stood alone he should pay little attention to it; but he looked at the schedule, and saw the manner in which some of the debts had been contracted. He should give no assistance to gentlemen—and it should be made public —who took, by their :own admission, 30 per cent. They were their own insurers, and need not complain. Mr. Thompson, the other complainant, said he was in the same " boat" as the other—he had charged 30 per cent. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—Do not call it boat— call it craft.—(Laughter.) Mr. Thompson said he had lost 1,0001. by the persona from whom he took the bills of the insolvent. Mr. Commissioner Pium.tes had no doubt bill dis counters ran great risks—it was part of their profession. They were their own insurers, and were not, under the Prisoners' Act, entitled to any protection. This case was under the Protection Act, and upon the face of the schedule it was clear that the insolvent had incurred debts without reasonable expectations of payment. He had no authority under the Act to name a day for the final order, and therefore it must be adjourned sine die, without protection. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Henry Adams, a pugilist, was charged before Mr. Hardwick with conspiring with others not in custody, to pefraud William Jackson, landlord of tho King's Head, Park•lane, of 341. 103. It appeared in evidence that on Friday week he went to the complainant, a Yorkshireman, and asked him if he had a room for sparring, as he knew a gentleman of fortune who wanted to take some lessons. Complainant said he thought ho could accommodate the gentleman, who was said to havejust come into possession of 4,0001., and who, while taking lessons, would be sure to order a bottle of wine. The next two days the prisoner and the gentleman came, and some sparring took place ; and, on the second day, the gentleman said ho was going to leave town, but, before doing so, should wish to bring a friend to have a sort of glove-fight with the prisoner. On Wednesday last the gentleman and two others came, and, after sparring some time, prisoner told Mr. Jack son that a bet of 5/, was made for one of the gentle men's friends to fight him with the gloves on. A bet was made by one of the friends of 301. to 10/ , and the better asked the prosecutor to put down 10/. for him, to which ho consented, and the person took it up. The room being considered too small for the glove fight, all persons went to a house in Cumberland-market. The glove-fight was begun, and during its continuance Mr. Jackson was induced to put down 241. 10s. more, making 341. 10i., not on his own account, but on account of the bets made by the gentleman's friend. Mr. Jack son, however, suspected something was wrong, and de manded his money back, when the prisoner and others threatened to punch his head, an d made their wa y out of the house i n t o a cab, into which he aisogot, and they then got out, and went into a public-house in Lamb's Conduit street, but were followed by Mr. Jackson, who ultimately gave the prisoner into custody. was remanded to Tuesday next. John Fletcher, a well-dressed young man, WORSHIP-STREET. e mb i e r z . e Peterm e n Ludgate, very respectablystated to be connected, w as placed at the bar before Mr. name:all, upon th e f o ll ow i ng charges of felony and gate, an extensive draper in Chiswell street, Finsbury, stated that the prisoner bad filled the situation of chief clerk in his service at a liberal salary, since the month of July last, residing upon the pro mises, and had always been regarded as a person of the strictest integrity until M on d ay , the 29th ult. when , w ithout the slightest intim at i on to any one, h o su ddenly q uitted the warehouse in the m iddl e o f th e day, and n ever again made his appearance. Th e p r isoner's ab• MON DAY sence excited much surprise, but that was quickly dis pelled by a discovery being made by Mr. George Geary, the second clerk, that a sum of 461., consisting of one 101. Bank of England note, two of 51., and 261. in gold, which he had tied up in a canvas bag, and in the pre sence of the prisoner deposited that morning in one of the desk drawers of the counting-house, had been stolen. Information of this robbery was at once given to the witness, who suspected that the prisoner might have otherwise plundered him, and therefore proceeded to inspect the books and accounts intrusted to his manage ment, when he detected numerous defalcations in those also, and gave immediate directions for his apprehension. An active search had been ever since kept up after him by the police, but ho had heard nothing of him till that morning, when he found him in custody at the Feather stone-street station. Inspector Brennan stated, that while on duty at the station at eleven o'clock on the preceding night, the prisoner suddenly entered, in much apparent mental anxiety, saying that his name was Fletcher, expressed a wish to justice for a robbery at to iv Messrs. Lgudegato's himse lf ware uP houw; witness asked him it he meant about the 464, but he denied that he had taken more than 36/., and intimated that he might have been captured much sooner if they had only looked is the proper place for him. Witn« , ss therefore detained him upon his own confession, and, on the prosecutor being communicated with, he at once identified him as his ab sconding clerk. The charge of felony having been thus clearly esta blished, several cases of embezzlement wero next pro ceeded with, in support of which three female witnesses, named Higgs, Murphy , and Maberley, were called, and deposed loyr, to money for goods they had pur chased of him in the month of December last, and for peva the whole of which they produced the receipts the prisoner r p io a u y s in s g ums of the prison er , on acc ount of his em had given them. The prosecutor proved that it was the duty of the ac cused to enter these and all other sums received during the day in a book kept for that purpose, accounting to him for them the same evening, but that some of the accounts had not been so entered, and where they had had been falsified. The prisoner, who exhibited extreme dejection, de clined offering a word in defence, and, the de positions having been taken, he was fully committed to Newgate for trial upon the above charge of robbery and three others of embezzlement. CLEEKEN WELL. Ellen Stevens, a remarkably pretty girl between 15 and 16 g yearsonar ol e' d was re-examined before Mr. Tyrwhitt of stealing a quantity of apparel in the on the dwelling-house of Mr. Smith, 14, St. James's-buildings, Spafields. This painful case has already been mentioned in our paper. The unfortunate girl was in the service of the prosecutor only one day, when she was instigated by an old vagabond, in the service of a celebrated optician in Leicester -square, to abscond and to take to him the ill gotten property, She was traced to Guy 's Hos p ital, w here she, with anot h er v i c tim of the same dis gusting wretch, was su ff er ing from a painful and nameless disease. On the first examination of the ac cused she stated that she and many other children were enticed into the scoundrel's house when of the tender age of twelve; that h e fi rs t of all tempted them to turn "head over h ee l s " i n his parlour for money, and that afterwards he seduced them and led them to worse crimes. On the first inquiry the magistrate a d j ourne d t he c ase, in order, possible, to fix an offellee punishable by law on the prin c ip a l d e linquent; but Mr. Tyrwhitt now said, from all the inquiries that had been privately instituted, he regretted to day that he would, for the pre cent at least, escape p u nishment. He asked the unhappy g irl if she sti ll persisted in her ori g inal defence? She said all was tru e . Mr. TYRWRITT wished to know if she would like to be tried fur the robbery, or should he deal summarily with it, as -- ho was by a recent Act empowered to do? She said she would rather it should be settled at once. The MAGISTRATE (turning to the old man in ques tion) told him that such an atrocious vagabond ought to be spurned from society, and sincerely did he regret that he was not within the pale of the law such as be could administer. The unfortunate prisoner had admitted the robbery; therefore he should sentence her to a month's imprisonment. The wretch alluded to, who has been under the sur veillance of Fisher, the detective officer of the G division, since the first examination, then made a hasty retreat from the court, and was kicked into the mud, amid the execrations of the persons assembled. HAMMER SM ITH. Augusta H ea t on , altos Mrs. Harper , a well-dressed woman, described as a lodging -housekee p er of Norland Nursery, N o tti ng -h i ll, and Harriet Auyusta Beaton, seventeen years old, her daught er, were char ged before Mr. Paynter, the former with stealing six 5/. Bank of England notes, and the daughter with paying one away knowing it to have been stolen, being the property of Mr. John Durant, a solicitor, now living at No, 3, Cla rendon-terrace, Kensington-park, Notting-hill. It appeared in evidence that Mr. Durant resided at Poole, in Dorsetshire, and on the 3d of last month he took furnished apartments at the house of the elder pri soner. On the 6th of that month he changed some bills for bank-notes, and put six 5/. Bank of England notes in the pocket of one of his portmanteaus, which he locked, end two others of a similar amount he put into his own pocket, with the key. On coming home on the following Monday evening, after being out.all day, he saw a key lying on the table in his room, and was surprised at it, as he thought the key of his trunk must have fallen from the bunch without his knowledge; and, while ho was musing, the servant came into the room and asked him if al his things wore safe, as she was going to leave the next morning, and, having found a key in the room after some of the children had been in it, she did not wish to leave with a stain on her character. On examining his keys he found his trunk-key safe on the hunch, and that the key on the table die not belong to bine. He directly opened the portmanteau, and found that the six 5/. notes had been stolen. Thsre was in the same portmanteau a pp pocketbook in which wthi between GO/, and 701. in lock that th e k ey f oun d on t h e table of the portmant eau; an d t h at M r . D urant opened oek country notes, which he supposed had been unobserved. It further the had received information of four of the missing notes. The prisoners were remanded. TRIAL OFPRADIVDALLEI-iiIvIHPIEWEIzi S A : On Saturday an interestin g experiment was made on the the river, for th e p ur p ose of testing LENTS IN relative merits of two new inventions for improving the construction of paddle-wheels, which may be destined to exercise an important influence on steam navigation generally. The competing inventions were Mr. Lee Stevena's fan paddle wheel, and Mr. Richard Chatterton's " Coburg" double screw propeller. The trial was made with two of the Iron Steam-boat Company's vesaels, the Twilight and the Bridegroom,' the forme r b e i ng temporarily fitted with Mr. Stevens s invention, and the latter with that o f Mr. Chatterton. The b oats are twin craft, b e i ng pre ciselyof the same build, tonnage, and p ewer; and t he course adopted in the ex periment was to test their sp eed in a race from C3 dogan pier, Chels ea , d own to London bridge, and back a g ain to t he starting point. To give the reader some idea o f the nature of the respective inveu ventions, we ma y mention first, with regard to Mr. Stevens's fan paddle, that the inventor has designed it to consist of fixed oblique floats joined endwise, and diminishing in surface towards the centre like a lady's fee, which floats, or segm ents, press against the water, right and left, in a continuous and perfectly balanced action, and so as materially to diminish the back water—to give greater speed to the steamer with the same expenditure of power, or the same speed with less power—and entirely to prevent the vibration caused by the use of any other paddle-wheels. The effect, too, is uniformly alike, whether the motion be ahead or astern On board the Twilight, however, it should be stated that the invention was economically modified with wooden instead of iron fLats, and adjusted to the pre vious framework of the commo n paddle-wheels, a cir cumstance considered not so well calculated to display the superiority of the fan paddle-wheels as when the inventor's ideas are more thoroughly carried out by having them constructed of iron. With respect to Chatterton'a double screw propeller —the rival invention—it is applied like the ordinary paddle-wheel, at each side of the vessel, the distinction being, that whereas in the common paddle the floats enter and leave the water h urizentally and at intervals, with violent successive concu-sion and consequent disadvan tage of downward pressure, unpleasant vibration, and back lift, in the; c ase of Mr. Chatterton's propeller they pass into and emerge from the sphe re of re sistance quietly a n d continuously as a screw, without disturbing in front or lifting the water behind; at the same time, being perfectly balanced at all points, half of each float bein g - precisely opposite a correspon ding half on the other side, and forming together, as it were, a succession of wedges in their action upon the water, the pressure on the shaft is quite as square as in the common wh ee l ; w hile, the displacement being the same, with a larger surface of friction exposed to the surrounding water, and the shape of the float being spiral, the propelling effect below is proportionately in creased, on the well-known principle that a body wedge shaped offers greater• in its transit through resistance water with the point of the wedge foremost than it would do if reversed, because it is more easily drawn from than driven against the friction on its sides. The weather was beautifully fine, and a party of gen tlemen, including the inventors, a director of the Iron Steam Company, Lieut. Aitcbeson, and other scientific and nautical m en, w i tnesse d the match on bo ar d o f e i t h er vessel. The boats started well from Cadogan-pier at eleven minutes past two o'clock, the run down the river being with the tide. They passed through Westminster bridge stem and stem, keeping close up with each other until they reached Southwark -bridge, when the Twilight was half a length ahead of her opponent. In passing under London -bridge. h o wever (which they did in 21 minutes from the time of starting), the Bridegroom had the advantage in`making the turn, and shot nearly two lengths ahead of her competitor. This dif ference was accounted for from the fact that the Twilight had %eked, the Bridegroom having none, thereby rendering the latter better able to make the turn. The return run was against tide, and the contest now be came more exciting. Th e Twilight speedily began to recover her lo s t ground, and had diminished her rival's advantage to only half a length at Ilungerford-bridge. In a minute or two more they were both paddle-box and paddle-box. Every nerve appeared to be strained by the competitors, but daring the remainder o f t he race there was not the variation of a quarter's length—and the twe boats reached the starting point exactly at the same moment.' The race was concluded at twelve minutes past three, having occupied an hour a n d one minute both ways. Th e average revolutions per minute on board the Bridegroom were 44k, and those of the Twilight 43. We were informed that the extent of propelling surface im mersed by the fan-paddle is 221 square feet, and by Mr. 1 Chatterton's propeller 30 feet, the average of the CCM ! mon wheel being 27 feet. There Was scarcely any per- Namo of C ompany. Australasia Britsh North American Commercial of London Colonial.. •- • • Gloucestershire • • .... lonian •• • • London and County ..

Both inver Wows, however, were considered by the pro fessional s pectators to have done their duty remarkably well; and although the trial was not deemed very deci sive as to their comparative merits, the general opinion was that both reflected the greatest credit on the inge nuity of their respective projectors, both equally being valuable i improvements on the existing modes of pro pulsion.

DISCOVERY OF A TREE FROG IN SCOTLAND.—A species of batrachean, new to this country, was discovered a short time ago in the woods of the Duke of Sutherland, in the north of Scotland. The specimen, which came into the possession of two ladies, was obtained from the interior of a fir tree, and from its character appears to approach to the genus Padochius ; and the species being new, it is proposed, in honour of one of the ladies to whom we are indebted for its presrvation, to term this form the P. Brownii. The spe cimen, when discovered, was in a state of hybernation, and still continues so. It is probable, however that when it re vives from this state, it will d evelop i ts b eaut i es , a nd that something more may be learned concerning its food a nd us tuna history—North British ;Wails NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. -- • - Commander Gray Skipwith, who commanded the Hydra, 6, steam-sloop, at Brazils, has been appointed to the command of the screw-sloop Conflict, on the same station, vice Drake, invalided.

We have a steady con' sumptive demand for fkur, stocks of which still continue light, while factors and millers are both indisposed le press sales of the article, as in the present aspect of the wheat market they naturally look for higher rates, which indeed, even now are partially obtainable.
