EAST now nom, leih Jane, 1540 , THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the East India Company do hereby give Notice, thata Proprietor of Eat India Steck has Postponed until the Quarterly General Court of the said Company, appointed to be held at their house in Leadenhall-street, on Wednesday, the 17th instant, the motion of which he had previ ously given notice, viz.:— That, adverting to the charge of the Lord Bishop of Calcutta, on his recent departure from Bengal, and now reprinted in England, and also to the printed statements of the Rev. James Peggs, late a mis sionary in Oressa, it be .referred to the Hon. Court of Directors, to Consider whether the time is not arrived when such rites and usages as Contradict the law of nature, and overthrow the first principles of our common humanity, may not be terminated consistently with the amelioration of the natives, and the security of our Indian empire." That a Proprietor has given notice, that at the said Quarterly Ge neral Court, he proposes " To call the attention of the Coart of Proprietors to the advan tages conferred on India by the exertions and perseverance of Lieut. Waghorn, with a view of recommending his services to some fitting remuneration or acknowledgment." That a Proprietor has given notice, That at the said Quarterly General Court he will "Call the attention of the Proprietors to the conduct of the Court of Directors, and prefer certain charges against that body in connexion with the case of the deposed Raja of Sattara," and That he will also " present a memorial from Peter Gordon, Esq., a member of this Court, relating to his expulsion from British India, by the authorities of that country." JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary. GRAY'S SWAN COMMERCIAL AND FAMILY HOTEL, BRIDGE-STREET, BRISTOL. Long continued 111-health had induced the Proprietor 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 the public deservedly and 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 snore particularly—of his having succeeded in obtaining posse sion 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. G. 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 ia the class of Com mercial Hotels.

NEW LONDON MORNING NEWSPAPER, Price Twopence Halfpenny. Published in time for the Morning Mails. Whitefriars, June 11th. The Proprietors of THE DAILY NEWS regret to learn that the Paper has not always reached the Subscribers so early or so punctually as mijit reasonably have been anticipated. Their apology is, that the success of the great experiment so far exceeded all expectation that it was not possible to produce the required numbers, even with the most powerfhl machinery, in time for the Morning Expresses and Mails ; and the number of Post-office orders which poured in made it difficult, and some days impossible, to distribute them among the Trade- so that delays in executing such orders were unavoidable. They trust, however, that then* ar rangements are now so cotnp etc as to insure the Subscribers against all chance of delay : yet, as all the respectable News Agents have given to the DAILY NEWS an active support, and many have announced by advertisement their willingness to supply the paper for 16s. 4d. per quarter—payment being made in advance—the Pro prietors • ecommend that new Subscribers should order copies direct from a News Agent, and only when there is an apparent difficulty transmit a Post-office order, payable to Joseph Smith, DAILY NEWS Office, Whitefriars, London.

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 gr!efis conceai'd, and disappointments keen, Which young and gentle, the matured and sage, The lonely and :he mated—all sustain. In kindly spirit, he rein 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 fell threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although lwaring upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understanil 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 owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their se , eral healthy states depend, the ditties that are expected of us In our individual capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and fliture race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilliog 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 mini as we ll as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfections, 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.

This was stated at the: Lambeth ,Police court. The case came on for re-hearing on the 9 th instant, and the result was, that it was remitted f o r tr i a l at tne ses sions, the Seciery meaning to prosecute the case to the utmost. -- ---: It gratified him to state further, that the officers of the berwell workhouse, somewhat beyond their rules and regu lations, kindly ofi'ered to take the woman in and protect her till the ends of justice should be obtained. • Lord DUDLEY STUAET then rose to move the first resolu tion. His acquaintance with the Society was very- slight, but he thought that, without any very laboured study or long cogitation, its objects would commend themselves as worthy of public attention. But its great of was to enable the poor man to obtain his rights, and that he thought was one of the noblest that could be offered to a meeting of English.. men. _The new poor-law was, no doubt, an improvement on the old one. but under it he had too . good reason to believe that many . grievances 'existed. It. was gratifying on that account that a society of individuals should unite, not so much to support the poor by contributions of money, as to enable them to gain those rights which were acknowledged by the law of th - e land. There were good points, he thought, in the present poor-law, many good points, but he was aware that it was avoided in many iestances by maleadminietration and by the ignorance and cruelty of Officers. To protect the poor then against these unjust deprivations of their rights this Society existed, and therefore he was happy to give it all the aid lie could; and knowing that it could not be carried on without means, espe cially at first, he would very gladly subscribe 5L His Lord ship added 24, a donation from Mr. Frederick Pigou, and stated that Mr. Pigou, a great friend of humanity and tha poor, was only prevented by ill health from being personally present at the meeting, for he had warmly commended it to his Lordship's attention. His Lordship concluded with moving—. " That this meeting agrees with the resolution passed at a public meeting of our fellow-citizens, that the poor ought to lee relieved in the spirit of kindness, more especia w they have for yea rs b een usefully employed in th e ll y parish to o winch they are comp e ll e d, from infirmity . or old a ge , to apply in the hour of necessity." Mr. J. S. BUCKINGHAM seconded the resolution, which was put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. Mr. GEORGE WILSON, one of the governors of the poor in Westminster, moved the second resolution. He said he sup ported the Society because he thought the deserving but neglected poor should have a refuge and an opportunity of appeal. He hoped the Society would not confine its exer tions to cases in which the relief allowed by the law was re fused, but extend them to those in which part of the popula tion were lowered in the scale of being by the neglect, and improper conduct of those . who ought to exalt them. He concluded by 'flowing— - " That, f'rom the impossibility of the poor and destitute obtaining for themselves any redress against neglect or wil fulness from the officers or others appointed to dispense the existing laws, this meeting deems the establishment of the Poor Man's Guardian Society a benevolent and useful work - iii the cause of humanity, and worthy of our co-operation and individual support." Mr. BUuNs seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. ,t•• Lord RAicELAGN moved— " That all persons - present disposed to unite and subscribe in aid of the objects of this Society enrol their - names as members this evening." Some other gentleman addressed the meeting, which, after passing a vote of thanks to the chairman, broke up. s --- TRICE SD. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE M. Jullien has taken this theatre for a short series of COWL? D'Ete, which commenced last evening. The theatre is elegantly fitted up, and M. Jullien has not neglected to introduce those mapfilleent vases, filled with the choicest flowers, which have hitherto 1 - *en the prevailing characteristic of the Concerts D'Ett;. M. Jullien has, however, made an innovation upon the usual programme of promenade concerts; he gives us - vocal as well as instrumental music, and his vocalists are, like his instrumentalists, in the very first rank of the profession. Miss Birch and Herr Pischek are engaged for these concerts, and these artistes last night gave us the keautiful duct " 0 du Gliebile" in exquisite style. Monsieur and Mademoiselle Goldberg are likewise engaged, and in the duet "I Gondolieri," _they were rapturously applauded. Herr Hoelzil gave the German song "Der Schmerz," in admirable style; and, altogether, the experiment of the introduction of vocal music into these concerts may be pronounced to have been most successful. The instrumental music consisted of a selection of favourite overtures, selections, quadrilles, and waltzes, performed as Jullien's band alone can perform them. The house was crowded to suffocation, and we may safely promise to M. Jullien a prosperous career for his Concerts .D'Ete. ASCOT HEATH RACES FRIDAY. The favourable anticipation which we indulged in a, the beginning of the meeting, have been, we are happy to say, fully verified by the results. The sport on the first three days was abundant, and the most fastidious have pronounced it first- rate. The conclusion of the meeting, which, apart from the regretted absence of her Majesty, took place under the most felicitous circum stances, did not detract from its promising announce ment. The great feature yesterday was the rich prize offered for competition by the Directors of the Great Western Railway. Though " tarde veuit et post long intervallo," it must be received with becoming gratitude. The Public Press, that ever takes the initiative in all that is useful or amusing, deserves popular thanks upon this head, for we do not hesitate to say that, had it not been for its representations, the great probability is that the directors would not have thought of setting apart any portion of the large profits annually derived from the races to the improvement of them. As is generally the case at the wind-up of a long meet ing, the attendance yesterday was confined to the keen minority, who are always determined ,to be in at the finish ; who, after th e b ust l e , jostling, and excitement of the cup day, looked fora good quiet day's racing, without annoyance or interruption, and they were not disap pointed. Before we conclude, we should not forget to compliment Lord Rosslyn and his staff on the efficient manner in which their arduous functions were performed. The starting, judging, weighing and keeping of the course, were all that might have been expected from parties who on all occasions have proved themselves eminently qualified for the duties assigned to them. The only contretemps worth speaking of were the exhibition of the wrong number in Jericho's race on Wednesday, and the omission of two of Sir Gilbert lieathcote's horses from the cards on the first day. With regard to the latter we should mention that Lord Exeter, whose horse ran second for one of them, the Ascot Derby, qlaimed the race on the ground that Brother to Valentissimo had been scratched. It turned out on investigation that omission arose from a misconception, and the judge's decision was confirmed. The racing yesterday came oft as follows :- - Match, 100 It ft, Bst 71b each. T.Y.C. Duke of Bedford's Taurina received forfeit from Mr. Death's Camelia. Match, 300, It it. Two miles. Lord Waterford's Wolfdog, Bst 71b (F. Butler) beat Lord Cr.

BROTHERS POISONED BY A SISTER.—The Wet:ford ladepeueleitt of Wednesday states that an Friday last three brothers, named James, john, and Michael Cullen, residing at Kyle, died from the effects of arsenic which they had taken that morning in their breakfast. An Inquest Was held, and the jury returned, the following verdict :—" We find the deceased came by their deaths in consequence of having taken poison in stirabout, but how or by what means administered we are unable to say." On Tuesday, however. the mystery was cleared up by the confession of Mary Cullen, the umnarrled sister of the unfortunate young men deceased, that she was the per who put the poison into the food by which they came by their deaths. Suspicion of her guilt having arisen, head constable Nicholson, and some of the police under his direction, proceeded from VVextord to make inquiry. In the mean time, (leorge Le Hunt. Esq., J.l'., and Samuel Tench, Esq., J P. were brought to the house to examine her. In reply to the questions put to her by the magis trates, hi the presence of head constable Nicholson, she confessed that ehe luid put the poison into the water in the pot, beton, the meal was put mu to make the stirabont. She did so, she said, at a time when her mother had her back turned. She stated that she had procured poison twice for the purpose —first in last March, and again more recently. She had procured it on both occasions by sayingshe wanted it for the destruction of rats. The magistrates, haring re ceived her confession, immediately made out her committal, attd•ahe was forthwith brought in custody to Wexford gaol, and fully emit nutted to abide her trial at the nex assizes.

MALTA, JUNE 3.—Her Majesty's steamer Locust left port on Friday evening last, having on board Commander Graves, of her Majesty's surveying service, and the daughter of Rear- Admiral Curtis. The Locust proceeds to Girgenti, whence Captain Graves will proceed to visit Graham's Shoal, and ascertain, by soundings, if the late shocks of earthquake felt here have affected in any manner that curious volcanic bank. The Locust wilt also go to Salerno, and there ascertain the difference of longitude between that place and Malta, for which purposes she has been provided with ten chronometers by order of Government. The brig Harlequin will proceed to-morrow to Corfu, where she is ordered to relieve the Orestes. The different packets and mail-boats have all arrived, and continued their several voyages to the places of their ulti mate destination. Two officers of this garrison, Lieut. Cockburn, of the 42d Regiment, and Lieut. Power, R.A., have been sentenced by Mr. Charles Harper, the sitting magistrate, to five days' imprisonment, for au assault committed by them on the Ist instant on a young man named Gergani, on leaving the Opera House on Monday last. The assault was most un called for and unjustifiable, and seems to have been caused by an old pique against the prosecutor. It is, however, pleasing to reflect that such events are of rare occurrence. On the arrival here yesterday of her Majesty's steamer Acheron from Marseilles, news of her Majesty's having given birth to a Princess reached us. His Excellency the Governor immediately ordered the royal standard to be hoisted at the Palace and the public offices, nand a royal salute was fired from Fort St. Angelo, the receiving-ship Ceylon, and her Majesty's brig Harlecitfin. Dr. Sabina Vella, one of the magistrates of the judicial police, died on Sunday last, deeply and universally regretted. The death of Vice-Admiral Sir R. W. Otway, K.C.8., raises his heir, Mr. G. G. Otway, commanding her Majesty's steam-frigate Virago, to the baronetage. This gentlemen, who left Malta with the Admiral on the 2-Ith ult., had not then received intelligence of his parent's decease. By reference to the naval intelligence received from London, we observe he has been superseded in the command of that beautiful steamer by Commander John Lunn, late of/ the Locust, and make no doubt but he has had his ,post rank given to him.

Duffill. it would appear at first sight that the Garland is the supe rior vessel, her increased speed being nearly a third of a mile per hour beyond that attained by the Violet, or in the ratio, 43 to 42. She also Made the quickest passage on record from Ostend to Dover, steaming from port to port in 3 hours 55 minutes. A little closer examination of the merits of the rival boats will, however; read us to pause before we deter mine the relative superiority of the Garland. The Garland is confessedly a slight boat, built for one object only, speed, and accordingly her draught of water is less than either of the other vessels. The Violet and Onyx, though built for speed, are also built to stand the chopping seas in the Chan nel. We must have better evidence, the test, at least, of six months wear and tear, before we accord the palm to the " oak" over the " iron gnome," or pronounce the Garland to be a better boat than the Violet. The former is, not withstanding, a good boat, and reflects great credit on her constructor. LAW IN TELLIGENCE. ADMIRALTY COURT, June 12. (Before Dr. LusuncoTex.) THE SIRIUS.—COLLISION. The Court was aided in this case by Captain Nelson and Captain Ferrer, from the Trinity House, nautical skill being required to settle the points of navigation in dispute. The owners of the schooner Deft were the parties proceeding against the Sirius steamer, the former vessel having been run into on the 14th November last, being struck on the larboard quarter, cut down to the water's edge, and soon afterwards sunk in deep water. The collision took place off the Gull Light, and the Deft Sank in tan fathoms water, off Walmer Castl. The lest vessel was proceeding to Caen, in France, with coals, and the Sirius, of 412 tons, with two engines of 140-horse power, was bound from Cork to Plymouth, with a general cargo. The case was con ducted by plea and proof. It was pleaded that the Deft was sailing, at the time of the collision, with the wind at N.W. by W. The Sirius had the wind N.E. to N.N.E., and as soon as possible, after the vessels neared each other, the steamer's engines were stopped, and her helm ported. The crew of thell,st,,k4ssel. were vy,ed sciship -calleitthe-Alary; the steamer' hthang pursued liek course, - as there was nu appearance of any serious damage having, been done to tha Deft. The night was bright and the wea ther moderate. The material averment against the Sirius was, that counter orders were given—first, that the helm was ordered a starboard; next, to port; thei to starboard again; then hard a-port ; and afterwards "hard a-star board," &c. The value of the Deft was stated at 674/.. Drs. Addams and Bayford appeared for the owners of the Deft; Drs. Haggard and Twiss supported the case of the owners of the Sinus, and contended that the whole fault of the accident was attributable to the want of skill on the part of those on board the Deft. The Learned Junon stated the facts, and held if the steamer did not port her helm and stopped her engines, she did that which was right. But the evidence was, that one of the crew of the Sirius saw the Deft when she was full two miles off, steering S.W. half S. The master of the steamer put his helm to port, but not until the collision was inevi table. Whether a steamer or auy other vessel came before the Court, as in argument it had been presumed that such powerful vessels had not full justice done to them, he (Dr. Lushington) would only mention that all parties coming before the Court had, as far as practicable, justice done to them. It would be for the gentlemen by whom the Court was assisted to consider if the orders—first, to port the helm —then to starboard—then to port—did not lead to the colli sion in this case. The Trinity Masters retired with the Learned Judge, and after a short interval they returned, and Dr. LITSHDTGTON said the gentlemen whose assistance this Court had had the benefit of were of opinion that both ves sels were to blame. In that opinion he (Dr. Lushington) entirely concurred. The next question was where blame was on both sides both parties must bear the share of the loss and damage. The Court very much regretted it had to speak strongly upon the conduct of the steamer. The persons on board the Sirius, it was proved, heard the hailing after the collision took place, and they ought not to have taken it for granted, or as a matter on trust, that the ship had not suffered injury. It was her bounden duty, and in accordance with the principles of humanity, to stop to render assistance. Much was it to be lamented that such an obvious duty had been neglected. Under all the circum stances, and in conformity with a decision given by Sir John Nichol, the Court felt itself bound to condemn the Sirius in the costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. TEE NAVIGATION BYE-LAWS.--4/0;;; George Hudson, the commander of the Bride steam-boat, was summoned be fore Alderman Gibbs, yesterday, by Mr. Fellows, of King's Bench-court, Temple, for the violation of one of the bye laws framed for the River Thames navigation by the Court of Aldermen. Mr. Prendergast, the barrister, and Mr. Cattarns, solicitor to the steam-boat company, appeared for the defendant. Alderman GIBBS said he considered the case proved, and fined the defendant in the penalty of 3/. Mr. Cattarns gave notice of appeal against the decision. Mr. Henry Sharpe (of the house of Murray and Sharpe, of Paternoster-row, warehousemen), who some days ago underwent a long examination, upon suspicion of having committed a felony in the house of Mes3rs. Lewis and James, his former employers, appeared to undergo a final exami nation. Mr. Clarkqon appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bal lantine for the defence. The first witness called was Mr. Thomas Lamb Atkinson, who said—l am a ware houseman to Messrs. Lewis and James. On the 13th of last February I sent to Mr. 11obertshaw, of Oxford-street, one of the pieces of 7-8 muslins, No. 1,600. On approbation we enter them in a book, and on the return of.the cambric I directed Mr. Wood to cancel that entry. On the afternoon of the 14th, in making up my department, I missed this piece of 7-8 muslin. I mentioned this to Mr. Wood, who had cancelled the entry, and I directed Payne, another porter, to make inquiry about it. In consequence of this I communicated my suspicions to Mr. Lewis. •1 had before that time mentioned my suspicions to a Mr. Evans. Before Sharpe left the service he inquired of me if he could have cambric-box. Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine for the prisoner—We also do so, and I considered it to be my duty to leave the cambric on the counter till the evening, and then to put it away; and on clearing up, about four o'clock, I missed it. The counter is at the end of the warehouse. There is a door leading to the street. I made my suspicions known to Mr. Lewis about Sharpe not a week after he left. My reason for doing so was, that I had seen Sharpe take linens out of the rack, and put them back again. Sharpe's duty was not with the cambrics. I believe the cambric produced to be the cam. brie I packed up, from its quality. I carry it in my eye ; but I will not swear to it. William Payne, porter to Messrs. Lewis and James, said he heard about the cambrics being missing on the 14th of February in the warehouse. He had seen Mr. Sharpe about one o'clock on that day about two yards from the place in which the cambrics were lying, and had observed him there before on the same day. Cross-examined— lie remembered that many other per sons had been there as well as Mr. Sharpe. Several witnesses 'were examined to prove the identity of the pieces of French cambric. Alderman GIBBS stated that it was his intention to com mit the prisoner for trial to the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Ballantine then applied for leave to put in bail, which would be forthcoming to any amount, but The ALDER3IAN r e f used to accept bail, and, the parties being bound over to pr osecute, the defendant was committed for trial. There are some fashions which have so little of the enduring principle in th em , that they seldom survive the fluctuations of a single season; others which, from their in trinsic merit, acquire a firm footing in public esteem, and enjoy a more extensive vogue in proportion as they become known to the public. Of the latter order of fashion is the invaluable Regist ere d P aletot, made by the Messrs. Nicoll, of Regent-street, and patronized, we believe, by his Royal Highness Prince Alb ert. This exceedingly useful and agreeable garment was int ro d uce d t o th e p u bli c l as t y ear , and, instead of being shelved, no ivthuenrfearsshal use. ion Nor can of an ephemeral character, is win almost r can this be wondered at, when it is considered that the Paletot--a word, by the way, almost incorporated into the English vocabulary —is manufactured from a Llama woollen cloth, unrivalled for its beautiful and silky quality. Messrs. Nicoll appear to be deeply sensible of the high value of the patronage they enjoy, for we observe they illuminated their house cn the occasion of her Majesty's birthday in a most superb and tasteful manner.—Court Journal. i .

The preservation of any part of the vessel from the devouring element is attributed to the use of marine glue in paying her decks, while pitch would have melted, and added fuel to the flames, owing to its highly com bustible nature. Fifty-nine large guns have been ordered to be made ready at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, for Tilbury Fort; and it is in contemplation to enlarge that extensive depository for gunpowder to a considerable extent. Fifteen larguns also been ordered to be got ready for Gravesend. e These and other additions about to be made to fortify the river and various places on the coast will require a great number of artillerymen, and it is the general belief in this quarter that two additional companies will be added to the ten battalions in October next, to afford a sufficient number to be detached for service at these fortified places. Captain Lethbridge's company, sth battalion. embarked at 5 o'clock A.M. this morning, at Rofe's Wharf; Woolwich, fur Nine- elms, en route to Portsmouth, to add to the strength of the Royal Artillery at that station.

After this the august visitors re-embarked on board the Lightning, and made the circuit of the Isle of Wight, landing at Alum Bay for refreshment. The imperial party returned into harbour about six o'clock. A grand banquet and ball takes place this evening at the. Admiralty House, to which the elite of these towns and neighbourhood are invited. The ball-room is most tastefully fitted up:with flags and festooned with evergreens and beautiful flowers, the Russian Imperial Eagle supporting on either side the Russian ensign at one end of the room, and the Royal Standard of England at the other, the whole presenting a coup-d'ceil of the most pleasing character. Colonel Wylde returned to town this afternoon. Much dissatisfaction is expressed among the inhabitants here, at the circumstance of a number of the metropolitan ' police being sent down to patrol the streets in plain clothes, and watch and scrutinise every one who passes them, to see* if he is a Pole; even the Admiralty House shares in the general suspicion of conspiracy, all its avenues being guarded by " detectives." The intended hospitality of the officers of the navy at this port has been checked by the Grand Duke's refusal to partake of it ; thus Sir Charles Ogle will'also be prevented from accepting the invitation of the committee, as he must remain at home to entertain the Prince. The proceedings of the committee are suspended in consequence of these unexpected drawbacks; but on the return of the Lightning this evening a deputation will w a it upon the Russian d g a miral, to know if he will honour th em w i th his company,- together with the other officers of the Russian squadron, to whom also a deputation will be sent, when, if they ac quiesce, the entertainment will proceed ; if not, it will be abandoned. It is expected the Russian fleet will not remain many days longer, an order having conic down from the Treasury to-day to work extra hours to. morrow night to get GOO bags of bread from the Clarence-yard for the Russian fleet (now the sole occupants of Spithead), from which it is inferred the ships will sail in a day or two. The police force from London was augmented to-day by extra members, on account of the ball this evening. W ”nclerstn:.A .• e understand that the names fixed upon by her Majesty for the youthful Princess are " Helena. Augusta Victuria," the sponsors being her Royal Highness the Duchess of Orle.tns, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, and his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenbargh Strelitz. The Duchess of Orleans is a near relative of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and, as a Protestant, it the only member of the French Royal Family who could perform the duties of sponsor to an offspring of our Royal House.—Times.
