The Berlingsche Zeitung of the 12th says:— " The Skald (Swedish bard) of Axel and Frithioff, Bishop Eialas Tegriar, is no more. After having expe rienced s*, , indifferent health for several years, and after having been exposed to not less than six strokes of apoplexy, he fell asleep without pain, tranquilly and peacefully, on the 11th day after the last attack, viz., on Monday, the 2d of November, at half-past eleven at night, aged 64. Esaias Tegrer was born on the 13th of Novembel . , 1782, at Hyfkerad, in the Bishopric of Carl stadt. At the age of 17 he was a student in Lund; in the year 1800 he was amanuensis there in the Academi cal Library; he received the best character (laudatur) at the examination of the candidates for philosophical de grees from all the professors, and was in this way magisier prirnus, and soon after a professor of cesthetics. Some time afterwards he was academical adjunct in Lund. In 1806 he was simultaneously appointed to the vice bibliothecal chair, and notary to the Philosophical Fa culty. He thereupon married a young lady belonging to the family in which he had at an earlier period of his life been domestic tutor, Mademoiselle A. M. G. Mylir man and in 1811 the Swedish Academy honoured his Skald poem, Swea, with their high approbation. A year afterwawith a suspension of all the cus tomaryrfdors,msh,e was, elected Professor of Greek Literature to the University of Lund, and appointed pastor-prebend of Staelje. It was on his induction into holy orders that he wrote the poem, so resplendent with celestial beauty, on The Ordination of Priests. Axel was now composed, and niiblished ; then The Night Watchtower Sentry's Child; subsequently his " epilogue to the pro motion in Lund in 1820,' and " Sorg on the Tun," which Leopold places in the first rank amongst all his minor poems, as well as the celebrated Frithioff Saga, which, according to Franzen's judgment, raised Tegier to the rapk of the most eminent poets of modern times, and diffused his name, not only throughout Europe, but even to the other extremities of the globe. The poet now assumed Oxenstiern's place in the Swedish Aca demy; and in 1824, the same year in which his Frithigif immortalised his name, he was made Bishop of Wexio. Of the manner in which, as president of the schools and churches, he fulfilled his sacred calling, evidence is af forded by several of his discourses, and the remarkable proceedings of the assemblies of preachers in 1836. Im mediately after his appointment to the bishopric he be came a Knight-Commander of the Order of the Northern Star, the small cross of which he had already received when professor. From this period he only sound his tuneful lyre on casual o ccas i ons; b ut there is gro for hope that a by no means inconsiderable number of new and longer poems will be found bequeathed by him to posterity. Francis Michael Franzen, who some years ago wrote a biography of Tegnar, concluded it in these words:---‘ Although the northernly element forms partly the spirit, and partly the staple of his poems, his poesy is nevertheless deeply imbued with southern luxuriance and beauty. With respect to his fresh and brilliant co louring, and the richness of his imagery and ideas, he might be compared to an orange tree, whose powerful and wholly green tints are adorned with ripe fruit by the side of newly-burst blossoms. In short, Tegnar's death is an alnynt irreparable loss to the lovers of Swedish literature, the most beautiful, of its kind, that exists in a language.'"

A meeting of the inhabitants of Oldbury was held on Friday last, the 27th inst., in the Court House Room, to take Into consideration the best means of affording immediate relief to the widows and orphans (between 50 and 60 in number) of those who lost their lives by the late lamentable 'explosion at Mr. George Parker's pit near Oldbury. The meeting (a very spirited one) at its rising was adjourned till Tuesday, the Bth December, to be held at the Talbot Hotel, Oldbury, at twelve o'clock. A Committee was formed for the purpose of taking the necessary steps to render that meeting worthy of the important object in question, and commensurate with the needful exigencies of the case.

Burrows, Beaverlee Mill, near Eastwood, we insert the following almost incredible statement, in the terms in which we received it:—A fistic combat, the bellige rent parties being man and wife, residing in Breach-row, Eastwood, took place very recently. The match was "to decide the championship." They both turned into a field, where, the female combatant having chosen te condors, bottle-holder, &c., of her own sex, and her husband males, she put oa a dress made to fight in for the occasion, took off her necklace, ear-drops, &e., and having said, " New. Bill, I mean to win or die by it," the conflict began. The woman is " young and beauti ful," and about five feet seven inches in height; her husband but four feet ten inches. The scene was wit nessed by a large concourse of spectators Fifteen rounds were fought in slashing style, occupying nearly an hour. The success . was varied; first the female received severe blows on her eyes, turning them from grey to the colour o f a sloe, with copious effusion of blood; then the man was bruised very much ab .tit the head; and ulti mately " a tremendous bow below the left ear " felled the man to the ground, and decided the contest. The woman bore away the colcu; s in triumph.—Nottingharn Review. Tim CARLTON CLUB.—The improvements now going on at this club-house will be on a magnificent scale.

By the latest advices,. we _learn that the Inflexible steam sloop, Commander, Hoscason, made the passage out from Plymouth to the Cape of Good Hope • in fifty days, without coaling on the way. It will be remem bered that - the very unfavourable news brought by the Mutine, 12-gun brig, Commander Crawford, of the dreadful head to which the Kafir insurrection had ar rived, caused the Inflexible to be hurried away without even allowing time for her necessary equipment, and a most unusual step was taken to hasten her departure— viz, her crew were paid their advance wages on a Sun day, the 9th of,,August, .on- -which day, at 9 A.m., she left Devonport for her destination. A Cape paper in terestingly -details. the voyage out thus : "The Inflexible is the first, steamer that has ever sailed direct for the Cape 'without calling anywhere.

Had even 80 .tons been purchased there, the cost would have .been greater than that of all the coal she had originally on board, as the contract price to Government in England is about I6s. per ton. Apart from the fact of the voyage having been done in less time than that taken by any other steamer, our colonial readers will rejoice to perceive the energy and prompti tude with which this vessel was dispatched, as shown in the saving of Monday, by running her out on the coals already shipped, and which would probably have sufficed had she not encountered weather particularly unfavourable, not having experienced any N.E. trade toas is invari a bl y coun t e d on at or near fS e h n ewas sP consequently obliged to steam with outia. r intermission across the lin e , an d i nto t h e S.E. trade, I,a n d e e lp her engines, before she could be placed under sail; steaming without stopping her engines 3,859 miles!" The Inflexible is a steamer built upon the design of Sir William Symonds, Surveyor .of the Navy, of 1,124 tons, and 378 horse-power, built at Pembroke in 1844, this being her first trip.

MURDER OF A.HUSBAND_BY'iIIS .._ NS WI . ,SUDBURY,SATURDAY IGT.—lne aiscovery of a mysterious case of poisoning in the village of Acton, a short distance' from this town; within:the last few days, has 'created the greatest' sensation in this• part of•the county of,Suffolk. • The oircumstances connected with, it • . .are of a very complic a t e d c h arac t er i—Ab ou t a month ago a healthy looking young man, named John Poker, 24 years esi age, was married to Catherine Morley, aged 18, the daughter of a Widow residing in the village. • For -three weeks they lived with the mother, .apparently:on ped:terms ' When, on the afternoon of the 17th inst., he complained of heartburn and sickness, and in less than twenty-four hpprs expired., The sudden nature of the death having been communicated to Mr. Harry Way pan, the Coroner fer_the county, an inquest was opened at the CrisWri Inn, in the village, on Saturday, the 21st instant. There "being no- suspicion entertained at this period that' the death of the deceased was produced by poison, the young widow; Catherine Foster, was called in, and examined as to , the circumstances attending her hus band's demise. She stated that she had been married to the deceased exactly 'three weeks on the day of his death. . Ile. had been .complaining of pains in his head ever since their marriage. He told her that about a fortnight after their wedding he had slipped off a load of hay, and had htirthimself Nery.mnch in the back. On Sunday, the 15th'inst., he complained much of the pain; and said he thought he must go to bed. * On the following. Tuesday night he spoke of being affected with heartburn, and was exceedingly sick. On Wecl nesday morning he was too ill to get up, and she Went to Mr. Jones; ,the - surgeon, :about' him. She ought to have stated that at about nine o'clock on Tuesday night he vomited and was purged, and daring Wednesday he continued in the same state until within an hour of his death, which'took place at four. o'clock in thenfternoon. It was after he had returned from his work on Tuesday eve 'rid that he complained of sickness. lie had supper - her gnd her brother.

On Wednesday. he complained of a pain in his right side. All he had , on that day was some tea. Mr. Jones did not see him untik the afternoon. lle gave her two powders for him but only one was given. Before he died she had occa. sion to remove him from the bed. Whilst doing so he fell on his knees ; she put him in a chair, and he died a few minutes afterwards. Her Mother lived with her, but on the Tuesday she was out washing. Very important disclosures. it appears, were here made to the Coroner by the surgeons, to the effect that the deceased had died from the effects of poison. Mr. Wayinan, the coroner, accordingly adjourned the in quiry till the 24th instant, so as to enable a post mortem examination of the'body, and an analysis of the con tents of the stomach, to be made. On the resumption of the invsstigation, the coroner having been apprised of the probability of the deceased's death being found to have resulted from arsenic, Mr. Wayinan 'desired the widow to be called in, and after cautioning her in the usual way, read the evidence which she had previously given, to which she put her mark as being correct. She then voluntarily stated, that after the last day's proceedings she recollected her husband saying about a week before his death that he had raised blood. There was but one dumpling for supper on the Tuesday night before her husband's death. On that day she had been dining at her husband's mother's house; it was five o'clock before she got home, and it was after that when she made the dumpling. The flour with which it was made was kept in a kneading-trough, and part of the same flour was still in it. She had not used any of the flour since. - When her husband was sick he vomited. She and her mother emptied it in a ditch in the yard. On the following Saturday three of their hens died; she did not know from what. She saw them all alive on the Friday. pose o t h s e e d r o t f h t a h t e h er wife, da n o ;t h s t t e h r e o n o called r u t t o to su w pp or e k r. ca o r lyn Tuesday, the 17th, she was out washing.

She a nts her daughter for sixpennyworth of brandy, and put apart of it in some oatmeal gruel. Deceased took about two spoonsful of it; but could not keep it down. This was before eight o'clock. Before this he had been sick in a handbasin, but she did not notice what he threw up. After he was sick she emptied the handbasin on the dunghill in her yard. He vomited frequently during the night. She went to bed `that night between 11 and 12 o'clock. Her daughter slept in the same room with her in another bed. The dectased was in a room by himself on the ground floor. Between three and four o'clock he called for some tea, and she made him some pepper Mint tea, and he drank' three cups of it. After taking it he was very, sick. - She did not go to bed again, and at about ten o'clock she. went to Sudbury, and re turned about an hoar before his death She did not sup at home on Tuesday night. - The deceased had known her daughter. three years. The short time they were married the appeared to live very happy. - sv im y am 6teen aepOsea that Cue aeLeasea was his fellow-labourer. ile saw him on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 17th, when he seemed quite well. About a fortnight ago he saw the deceased slip from a waggon, but he did not say he was much hurt. He had known deceased ten years, and he always seemed a healthy man. Elizabeth Foster stated that the deceased was her son. She had not seen him for two or three weeks before his death. : His wife visited her on Tuesday, the 17th, and had dined with her. She left before four o'clock. She said her husband had been very poorly all the night be fore. As she went out she said she must make haste home, as that was pudding night. Witness asked her if she made a pudding every night. Sbe replied. that she did not, but she should make her husband one that even ing. On the following day (Wednesday) witness called . at her house. She cried and said she did not think he was so bad as he was. She said she was alone with him and did . not like to leave him. Thomas Morley, a boy eight years of age, brother of the deceased's wife, corroborated his mother's testimony. He ate some of the dumpling, and was not unwell. His sister, wife of the deceased, made the tea and sugared it. When the deceased came in for his supper he appeared in a very healthy state and ate heartily. His sister helped everything. She served the deceased with three cups of tea. He saw her put the sugar in it. The analysis of the contents of the stomach being understood not to be completed, the proceedings were again adjourned till yesterday (Friday), when they were resumed at twelve o'clock, at the Crown Inn, be fore the same jury. During the day the body was ex humed in order that it might undergo a close exami nation by the medical gentleman engaged in the inquiry. James Pleasant, a labourer, deposed to the sound and healthy state of the deceased when he left work on the evening prior to his death. He seemed in the best spirits and sang as he went along. Mr. William Edmund Image, surgeon, of Bury St. Edmunds, on being sworn said, that on Monday last he assisted at the analysis of a stomach and its contents, produced to him at his house by Mr. Jones. He under stood it to have been-taken from the body of the de ceased. Mr. Newham, of the Suffolk Hospital, was with them. With a view of dotecting the presence of poison, they applied Renish's test, by which they clearly dis covered arsenic, but nothing else. It was applied to some of the fluid in the stomach, and was considered a very conclusive test. Marsh's test was also applied to a portion of the same fluid, with the like result. He had no doubt whatever that the death of the person from whose stomach the fluid so tested was taken must have resulted from the effects of arsenic. He detected no other poison in the stomach. He had that day examined the body of a man exhumed in Acton churchyard; it had been previously opened. They first examined the kidneys; both were very red, but one more so than the other. The mucous _membrane_ of the intestines was in many parts covered with thick bloody mucous, and there were congestive patches in the left ventricle of the heart. Assuming that the stomach and its con tents belonged to this body, he had no doubt what ever that these appearances denoted death by poison. That day he had been shown by Mr. Jones a por tion of the vena cava, he found a perforation and one or two other morbid appearances in it, but without knowing whether any blood or what quantity of Woad exuded from it, he could not say whether the death of the person to whom the vena cava belonged was occa sioned by the perforation and morbid &seises. The deceased appeared to be a particularly healthy Subject. The first consequence which ensued on taking arsenic was the sensation of heartburn and sickness. These symptoms would come on in a very few minutes after it was taken. He considered it utterly impossible that a person could .take a dose of arsenic sufficient to cause death, and afterwards eat heartily before he was taken ill. birectly the arsenic takes effect nothing can be retained on the stomaeh. He had heard the statement of Catherine Foster, and the evidence of Maria Morley; they showed the sraptoms of a person labouring under the.. effects 'of poisort. A person labouring under the effects of arsenic forionlany hours as in the prese n t case would endure great agony. Mr. S. Newham, 'of the Suffolk Hospital, and Mr. B. Jones, surgeon, of Melford, confirmed Mr. Image's tes timony.. The latter gentleman stated that on the morn ing of the day on which the 'deceased died, his .wife called upon him and said that her husband had a bowel complaint. He sent her two powders. About five o'clobk in the afternoon - he went to the house and found the de ceased dead in be.i. He asked several questions, which the wife answered in a satisfactory manner.. The wife and mother told him that the deceased had been suffering from sickness and a bowel complaint. After much, other evidence had been adduced, The Learned CORONER addressed the jury at some length, and having drawn their attention to the material points of the evidence, they consulted together, and, re turned a verdict of " Wilful Murder " agionst Catherine Foster, the wife of the deceased, who was then committed to the county gaol at Bury Sr. Edmunds for trial at the ensuing assizes. THE LATE EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY AT EALING . —lnspector Langster, of Ealing, who convoyed for idea• tification, on : . 3aturclay, at the Old Bailey, the property stolen by Esther Elizabeth White from Mr. Jones, found that during his journey he lost 102 gold and silver coins, which constituted a portion of the stolen property through ft hole in his pocket. JOHN KNOX'S HOUSE. Several paragraph's have lately appeared in the Edin burgh papers, expressive of a doubt whether it is not intended ta pull down the curious old house at the head of the Canongate, celebrated as being the residence of John Knox. A corresPondent of the Courant of Satur-‘: Clay thus notices the rumour, beginning first with a sithi lar report respectingShakspere's house :-- "It is reported in the Worcester Journal that there is an intention to rknove the house in Stratford•on-Avon, in which Shakspere was born, married, lived, and died. ,Can such an act of barbarism be thought of, or permitted in civilised and high-minded England ? It would bring disgrace not only 'on the country, but upon the . age in which we live. This surely cannot be. If it be true. the authors of such an outrage ought to be banished from England to some other country. But whither could they be sent to ? Even young Australia would reject them with scorn and loathing. I know no place where such barbariatis would be safe, excepting in the tnetropolis of Scotland, where a similar outrage, it is currently reported, is meditated, and where they may in consequence be protected by sympathising friends, with tastes and feelings as barbarous as their own. " It is rumoured that the house in the city of Edin burgh, in which the great Scottish Reformer, John Ktmx, lived and died, is to be treated in a similar man ner, and that the destruction is to be brought about by men who profess" almost to worship his memory, • and who have the name of John Knox, and his deeds, and his reforms, and his doctrines, seldom out of their mouths." no O un il c r ed iin wft r h es r s e i s o p n ec o t f to Kno the arrangements from the above. The F r ee Chur c h party, as we under for stood, intend e d erec ti n g a K nox monumen t an d church, an h g o e u m se e , nte is quite e d mr i lv n n; ii9r a t and inelosing the present ancient building with a view to its preservation. If this plan has been depai ted from, we hope the citizens of Edinburgh will instantly exert themselves and try to save the venerable struc ture. It possesses $ strong national interest, and is a curious specimen of the domestic architecture of a former age. " The Reformer was lodged'here,"sayoll:. Robert Chambers, " by the magistrates, fu - 1560, orrbeing appointed parish minister of Edinburgh. It had previ ously been the residence of George Dune, abbot of Dun fermline. On the last day of October 1561, ' the provost, hailies, and counsail, ordanis the dene of gyld, with all diligence, to mak ane warme studye of dailies to the mi nister, Johne Knox, within his hous, abone the hail of the same with lyht and windokis thereunto, and all other necessaris.' Knox probably lived here, while in town, till his death, November 24, 1572. A window is shown, from which he use-I to preach to the people on the street, and there is an effigy of him in the attitude of preaching. uponi the corner of the building." Can any party s , ri ously contemplate the demolition of a building thus hallowed and endeared to the people. of Scotland?—a memorial, too, of the times when Scotland was an inde pendent kingdom, and the force of thenational character —rngged, but fervid and undaunted—achieved the great triumph of the Reformation. The correspondent of the Courant is entirely wrong in his allusions to Shalcspere. 'New Place, the house in which the poet died, was pulled down in 1757, and the people of Stratford-on-Avon had the good taste to hoot the barbarian who did it out of the town. Where the poet was married is not known, to the great perplexity and mortification of various antiquaries who have busied and puzzled themselves for years about the point. His marriage license he obtained at Worcester, but there is no record of the ceremony. The exact locality of Strat ford-on-Avon where he was born is also a matter of doubt. The small tenement shown as his birth-place was undoubtedly his property; he inherited it from his father, and bequeathed it by his will to his eldest daughter; but Shakspere's father had two other small houses in the town, and there is nothing but tra dition to vouch for the popular belief. The old dwelling, however, is an interesting relic ; it was once the property of the greatest of Englishmen and of poets ; and it has been visited by thousands of pilgrims from all parts of the world. Its walls are low and humble, but its strong oak beams and floors promise two or three centuries more duration. It may be sold, but scarcely, we think, taken down. Its value as a show house, if not its importance in the eyes of the inhabitants will save it from destruction. It might be well, however, fOr the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, who pro tect and repair the ruins of castles and cathedrals, to ex- . tend their care to such relics of genius as this Shakspearian mansion. By directing their attention to the few ancient historical and memorable houses in the kingdom, likely to be sold or pulled down, they might, from time to time, at small expense, gratify strangers, both foreigners and natives of this country, and thus perpetuate interesting memorials of our national glory. We were mortified, some years since, to find the only re maining Milton house in London (one in which the poet lived eight years, and where he must have commenced " Paradise Lost") converted into a miserable chandler's shop. To pay homage to intellect and genius, even in the way we have mentioned, would be graceful and be coming in a great nation. • If Alexander spared the house of Pinder, amid the tumult of war,• when he destroyed the temples and towers of Thebes, we might well do something, in these days of peace, t r o y save the 11.1 - n.4,0 .l...lof;nn_—lnverizes s ourier.

Some time ago, a denizen of the good town of Kendal who was rather addicted to Bacchanalian revel ries, on returning late to his home, found his wife seated icy the fire, anxiously awaiting his arrival. As is too often the case under the circumstances, the intemperate husband at first assailed his wife with hard words, and then proceeded to harder blows On the good woman mildly remonstrating with him, and alleging that she had said nothing to provoke his anger, he retorted; " Nea. I knaw thou sed nowt, but thou's a thinkin' devil!"— Kendal Mercury. RE -OPENIN G OF ST. JAMES'S CHURCH, PICCA DILLY.—This fine ecclesiastical structure, which, for a considerable time past, has been undergoing repair, and redecoration, with the addition of a painted window, was re-opened for public worship on Sunday morning. The most noticeable feature is the painted window. This portion of the renovation of St. James's has long been contemplated, it having been proposed so far back a= thirty or forty years ago to fill up the window with a copy of the Transfiguration of Raffaele ; but various circumstances occurred to prevent the execution of the design, and it was only recently that effective steps were taken to carry out the long-contemplated improvements by the appointment of. a committee, strengthened with the requisite funds. It appears that the views of the committee were more ambitious than the result of their labours would manifest, as it is stated that they origi nally fixed on a very beautiful sketch in the modern style, by Corbould, representing, in various compart ments, the Birth and Death of our Saviour. The Bishop Of London, however, having expressed a strong opinion in favour of a more ancient style of art, the design, which has been so effectively carried out by Mr. Wiles, was selected. The beautiful carvings of Gibbons over the altar have been judiciously touched, bringing out more forcibly the exquisite richness of the foliage, and a rail of marble has been added round the altar. We regret to record the death of Lady Elizabeth Whitbread, the last survivor of the children of the first Earl Grey, sister of the late and aunt of the present Earl. She was married in 1788 to the late Samuel Whitbread, of Cardington, county of Bedford, Esq., by whom she had five children, the eldest, a son, who died young; W..H. Whitbread, of Southill, Esq., for many years Member for Bedford; Elizabeth, who died in 1845, married to Captain the Honourable W. Waldegrave, now Earl Waldegrave; Samuel C. Whitbread, of Car. dington, county of Bedford, Esq., who represented the county of Middlesex in two Parliaments; and Emma Laura, who married the present Speaker of the House of Commons. After Mr. Whitbread's death, Lady Elizabeth lived in retirement at Kensington, respected and beloved by all who knew her, and in the constant exercise of an active benevolence and unostentatious charity. • THE EXTRAORDINARY RAILWAY ADVENTURE.- Mr. Markham, the gentleman whose violent attack on a fellow passenger, and extraordinary escape from a rail way train while labouring tinder an attack of brain fever, recently attracted so much of public observation, is now restored to perfect health, and has left town to rejoin his family.—Britannia. • CONTEMPLATED CHANGES IN THE COURT OF BANK- EurTcF.—A correspondedt states that rumours are pre valeiit that the Lord Chancellor meditates some impor tant changes'in` the .Courts of Bankruptcy; among others are the reduction of the number of commissioners from six tcr four, and the appointment of but one instead of two official assignees to each court.

We have not made sufficient progress: ',What- ever may be the explanation of the fact—whether the, difficulties of construction and adaptation increase in a ,greater ratio than the merescale of the ship—or whether • we have at some point taken a wrong turn—it is cer tain that we have by no means improved in proportion to our efforts or our experience. The two little Deptfoed - , vessels of 3822—the Comet and the Lightning —are iiesid toriously better craft, of their cla s s , than, those" that • have been built since ; " a n d it i s hardly too much to. say - that the latest specimens of. our skill 'are the least *sue.; cessful ; so that an inference might be drawn, with apparent plausibility, th a t we were . a ctually retre• grading. Moreover, in, the single real trial, and in the - most decisive-of-She experiments, to which our steamerir have been subjected, the result has been unfavourable., At Acre they answered less than any other class-the expectations that had been formed of the new system of I Warfare, and in our • sjuadrons of evolution they ai6 pretty invaiiably:fouid wAthiug,. 11seyAsiss 54,1,0 g i ef 44 . cost, and prodifeexiiytedequate return...,,,,dl; .. .- and it is surmised they won ' t fi g h t. We build them 'of -- wood, and find that they won't float; we build them of iron, and find that a single shot may possibly send them be the bottom. Whether these deficiencies are the attributes of our steamers or of abstract steamers, we do not take upon ourselves to pronounce; but the question is one , of immense importance, and its publics discussion must tend to bring us more nearly to the truth, and to diminish the cost of the investigation. A pamphlet, from which we published an extract a few days back, upon the engines of our steam-navy, points to an element in the consideration of these matters sometimes neglected. It is possible that the fault may, at all svents occasionally, lie exclusively in the engine-room, that the construction of the vessel may be admirable, and that she may be u nexce p t i ona bl y manned and handled, and yet be half her time imperfect, and the other half incapable, owing to the mistakes of the manufacturer, after she had left the surveyor's hands. Though the writer of the pamphlet does not conceal his personal interest in questioning the plan by which engines have been supplied to the navy, yet his statements and arguments are liable to the less suspicion in so-far as they are allowably founded on official returns made to the House of Commons upon Captain Gore's motion for that purpose some time ago. It is there shown that the engines furnished by one particular house, in two cases out of the five included in the returns, were actually incapable of duty for the respective pe riods of 393 and 353 days out of a service of three years ; while in two other cases the engines from ano ther manufactory were only invalided for 38 and 51 days each, and yet that the latter house obtained scarcely any share of Governirient favours comiared with the former. Unhappily, though these returns were made in 1843, they are particularly apropos to 1846, as may be seen by our naval intelligence week after week: The effect still remains, whateVer may be the existing cause. It is, undoubtedly, in,the highest degree desirable that the benefits -arising from the free play of public con.. petition should not be lost to so material an .item of public expense, and so important an object of national. excellence. If the best engines can be supplied -on the Clyde, they should come from the Clyde ; nor can we conceive it possible that the Admiralty can be without statistical returns setting _ beyond a doubt the facts_ requisite to form a judgment on this point. Those 'engines which are proved to do the most work With the least coals and fewest repairs are the engines with which. our steam-ships should be fitted ; and this discovery ' can be' made, we should. imagine, without any fear of bias or delusion from ex pat* statements or professions. `The responsibility upon this head, however, is not en tirely shifted- from the shoulders of the Surveyor of the Navy ; for, independently of that supervision which he may be presumed to exercise, the future quality of the engines is materially affected by the conditions which he iLmoses on the manufacturer. Limits as to space and weight must of course be attended to, but it is said that they hav , been assigned somewhat arbitrarily during our magnanimous experiments, and that the results have been found detrimental. And there is one point con -410(4'0 with these discussions which common humanity :orgies perempsors,..„. , ....,.:—. iv, ....,.. vwptoy steamers pretty generally on the African coast, and the climate to which these vessels may be thus destined should be at least as much considered in their construc tion as the curious speculations of a naval architect. A premium has lately been set upon small engine-rooms, and the authorities have been humoured on this head with very little regard to the lives of the unfortunate engineers. But let our readers only imagine the conse quences of superadding to the deadly plagues of our slave-trade service a confinement for two-thirds of the day to a small furnace-hole I The place, in its own nature, is as little like earth as possible, and we surely need not lend it the appliances of our caprice to effect a more complete transformation.

MILITARY EXECUTION IN SPAIN.---Captain Do mingo Martin, of the Regiment of Extremadura, who assaulted his colonel, has been condo mned to death, and was shot on the 17th at Valencia. He entreated to be allowed to give the platoon the word to fire upon him On coming to . the place of execution he delivered an ad dress to the soldiers. saying.-:-" Be faithful to our Queen; be firm and courageous in battle, ar.cl be patient in fulfilling your .duties. Never allow your passion to carry you so far as to commit the cria• for which I am about to suffer. I shall pray to the Almighty to grant that none of my companions may ever follow my fatal example." He then embraced the priests who attended him, and gave to the lieutenant who com mended the platoon an ounce of gold, to be distributed among his men, whom he desired to fire at his head and his heart, that he might die instantaneously. In a few moments more he gave the word, and dropped a corpse. By his will he left 2,000 reals to a charitable institution, 1,000 to the poor, 4,000 to his orderly soldier, that he might procure a substitute, and also his uniform accou trements, arms, wardrobe, and other effects ; the whole of the arreas of his pay to the corporals and privates of his company, and 160 reels to be divided between the men who bore him to his grave. MR.;ROWLAND BILL.—The public will learn with satisfaction that Mr. Rowland Hill has been appointed Secretary to the Postmaster-General, at a salary of 1,200 Z a year. The appointment is a permanent one, but Colonel Maberley still continues to be Secretary to the Post-office. The office now filled by Mr. Rowland. Hill is a new one, and has been created, as we under stand, for the purpose of enabling him to carry into effect the remaining portions of his plan of Post-office reform.. We have reason to believe that the Government has acted spontaneously in this matter, the restoration oi Mr. Rowland Hill to office having been entirely un solicited on his pait.

THE FORGERIES BY THE POSTMASTER AT BAZNE V. —Some time since John Pearce Morse, a chemist a druggist at Barnet, where he was also postmaster, sconded, as is well known, from that town, having o witted forgeries of post- office orders to between 2,C and 3,0001: Subsequent to the discovery of the oirc stsnees, a reward of 50 guineas was offered for his prehension, and, from the inquiries instituted, it found that he had gone off to the continent. Peake,, k of the POst-office officers, was then sent to Bruges, w t e it was ascertained Morse had been seen, but found o. his arrival there that he hal left that city for Bruer eels. Peake followed him to Brussels, and from thence tr aced him to Ostend, where he was discovered under the r .ame of Morton, living at the house of a hair-dresser, in a very reduced state, having squandered away all the money he took with him, which is believed to have been a considerable sum. He was immediately tak' nu into custody by the Belgian authorities for travelling under a false name, but it is not at present known win ther he will be brought over to this country to be purn fined for the crime he has committed. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.--The submarine tel e graph was laid across Portsmouth Harbour to-day (Sa turday), from the Watering Island in the Dockyard to the steps at the It(* al Clarence yard. The former ex periments were repeated, and they rally confirmed the rot. that one wire, a prepared by Messrs. W est and Taylor, is sufficient for electric telegraph purpose s under 'water. Several of the principal officers of the Dock yard, including the heads of the engineering department, wcrc present during the trials, which proved most satis factory.
