THE GREAT OXFORD AND CAM- The lighthouse, which was i-recting on the South - pier head when I was there in 1836. has n ot been lit since 1839. It cannot he approached in bad weather ; the green sea breaks thirty feet over the lantern, and the pier it stands on is so frequently under water, that it has the appearance of a half-tide rock. , I u nderstand that, in consequence of the foundation of the South-pier giving way, which threatened the destruction of the lighthouse, a vast quantity of stones, weighing several tons each, were, 'a few years ae.o, thrown into the outward angle of the South-pier and jetty. These large blocks, instead of protecting the masonry, during the westerly gales, actel as battering-rams for its destruction, being. hurled against the angle with such force as to cause c in o;si b d o ( e T n al d d r e iv d ,, a n ma in ge. var T io h t j dflirneacitli,,:nds,isappeared, hav themselver to pieees.

The Cantabs yesterday achieved another victory in one of the most gallant races on record, and in which the distance of four miles and nearly a furlong was performed in the al most incredibly short period of twenty-one minutes five se conds. It was throughout a fine spirit-stirring exhibition, and the victors and the vanquished alike deserve their meed of praise, for game and science never surpassed, and but rarely equalled. The race, in common with all University matches, was one of peculiar interest, and thousands de pended upon the result laid out at odds, not justified by the close contest which we have now the pleasure of recording. The race of last season was decided in favour of the Cam bridge crew, and the Oxonians having thrown down the gauntlet, the challenge was accepted, and both went into ac tive training, the Cantabs under the able tuition of- Robert Coombes, the champion of the Thames, and the Oxonians under that of Noulton, of Lambeth. The stake was, as usual, " honour," and the following are the names of the gentlemen who disputed the aquatic supe riority of the rival Universities .

A reference to the sounding s , marked red, which I took last mcnth, will' show the extent the harbour has silted up, since I sounded it in 1836. I found a quantity of large stones extending from just inside the entrance to a " puddle dyke" in the centre of the harbour, that had never been removed ; those stones had been washed ,into the harbour from the glacis; during easterly and south-easterly gales, and ought, together with the puddle-dyke, .to have been removed. Don. aghadee in its present contracted and shallow state, will not admit' of larger steamers than those now em ployed, and even they find great diffic❑lty in entering it at low water, during easterly gales. There is no serious objection to Donaghadee as a packet station. it being situated on a weather-shore, during the prevailing winds, and frequented by the' packets during daylight only ; it might he deepened to ten feet all over ; but it is evident, however, that it is too small to be of any ser vice as a harbour of retuge. It will always require an annual expendittire to keep it up. and has not capacity for admitting that length of vessel which alone could ensure regularity and safety in conveying the mails across those seas.

On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three Septennial - divisions exceeded 530,0001.

In the FIRE DEI'A►RTMENT, a Return of profit was declared on the 4th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1844, and the same is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted), between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Oftice ; and also by the Agents in the Country Districts.

Str,—ln compliance with the orders contained in your letter of the 25th•of November, 1845, desiring that I should proceed to examine, and report. upon the present condition of the harbours of Larne. Locbryan, Port patrick. Donaghad ,, e, and B-Ifast; after a careful exami nation of them, I have the honour to submit the followivg report :-- LARNE. This port is the safest and the easiest of access of any on the N.E coast of Ireland. Since my last report on Larne, in 1836, a ver y correct c h art 414 by Commander Mudge, R.N.. has been published by the Adiniralty. A lighthouse has been erected, and lit up, by the Irish Ballast Office, on the eastern side of the entranc. ; and a quay of two hundred teat long.-with jetties, projecting on piles, having sixteen feet water alongside them, at low springs, have been constructed inside the entrance, by Mr. Agnew, the proprietor of the port, at an expense of only 1,3501. These itnpr,vements have rendered Larne, the most eligible port of communication with Scotland, of any on the N.E. coast of Ireland. If a rail road, tending to create a mercantile traffic, were con structed From Larne, either to Belfast, or the north Of Ireland, the port of Larne contains the most eligible sites for docks, quays, and warehouses ; which, from the abundance of materials at hand, and cheapness of labour, might be constructed, as Mr. Agnew's works prove, at a very moderate expense. While sounding and examining Larne. I bad an ex cellent opportunity of observing the effects of a heavy gale, from the northward right into the harbour on the 11th of December last. I watched the entrance during the continuance of the gale, and at all heights of the tide very little swell entered ; the regular trading steamer, from Portsmouth, came in after dark, dis charged part of her cargo, took in another, and departed for . Liverpool, in the height of the gale. During her stay in the port, which was only one hour and a half, she laid perfectly tranquil alongside Mr. Agnew's jetty. The old rubble walls and' cottages on the beach, just in side.the entrance.of the port ()flame, distinctly prove; that, for ages, no sea of any violence could have entered the• harbour, or, - situated as they are, barely clear of high water mark, they would have been washed away, . LOCHRYAN. This port, which; in winter, frequently affords shelter to three or four hundred sail, riding in perfect security, is safe of approach, and easy of access, day or night, in any weather. . Since I reported on Lochryan, in 1836,,a tower has been built on Cairn Point, and I am informed, that a lantern is to be placed on it thiasummer. When this is lit, the Cairn Point, which . has seven fathoms' water close to it, can be approached on the darkest night, without hesitation ; and nothing will ha required to make it the most eligible port of communication with the North-East coast of Ireland, but a pier or jetty, for the accommodation of passengers and goods. There are three places in Lochryan which have been spoken of as eligible for embarking mails, passengers, and goods, viz. Finnert Bay, Cairnryan, and Stranraer. Having had a very good opportunity of observing the effects of the heavy gates of last month (December, 1845) on the different localities of this loch, I have no hesit Lion in declaring my opinion, that Cairnryan is the best place, either for a packet station, or the ter minus of a railroad for goods or passengers. Finnert Bay. which is two miles nearer the entrance of the loch than Cairnryan, is too exposed, and would require a very extensive and solid breakwater, the expense of whit h would far outweigh any advantage the two miles might afford; independent of which, from the nature of the present bay, it would, in all probability, be soon filled up with shingle. Stranraer has certainly very good anchorage; but the present pier is dry at low water, and mould require to be considerably extended. The Scala- shoal is very much in the way of ves-els going up ro Stra-raer. in thiek weather or dark nights. and pa sengers coin;; to Inland, from Glasgow and the North, would have to pass Cairnryan on their way to Stranraer; thus adding five miles by land, and the same distance back again by water, to their journey. I therefore feel justifit d in giving the preference to Cairnryan, where a very eligible site for a pier or jetty presents itself at the Claddy-house point. A pier might be constructed in a r.w. direction from the Claddy point, extending about half a cable's length, which would have from 14 to 18 ieet alongside of it. at low springs, for neatly its a hole length, as the Claddy point is ste,p t 0, ,. This pier might be constructed of wood or qtnne. there being no presoire of sea to injure it. The Claddy point has also the advantage of a rivulet of fresh water, which might be conveyed in pipes along the pier, for the use of the vessals. filling the b.,tilers, &c., &c., and the level gr and about the Claddy point offers a most desirable site for the tee minus of a railroad.

The present small steamers employed to convey the mails cannot get in or out ot' Pot tpatrick at low water, there being only three fret water over the bar leading to their berths. In spring tides they lie aground, even in their bet th, at low water. This circumstance nut only pr-vents any regularity in the arrival or departure of the mile, but would render any attempt at acceleration by railroad useless. During westerly and south-westerly gales. even steamers cannot enter or depart from Port patrick without imminent risk of life. On entering, if it be low water, they must run aground on the bar, and lie exposed to the sea ; if there be water over the bar, they must depend on catching the check ropes, wtan passing Mr. Cook's Craig ; for, if they miss them, they run the risk of being knocked to pieces against the cliff. On departing, there is so little room to get way on the vessel, that if she he struck with two following seas at the entrance, she would, in all proba bility, lose her way, and fall off with her head towards the pier or rocks, rendering it impossible to give her either head or stern .way with the engines ; so that she _must either be dashed against the piers, or driven into 'he harbour, against Mr. Cook's Craig, there being no room to turn her, either by dropping her anchor or the use of sails or engine. 4. Should any accident occur to the engines, oa the first shock they receive in going out between the pier heads, the vessel must be dashed to BELFAST. I have the honour to submit a plan, showing the im provements that have taken place in this harbour since I reported on it in 1836. All that part coloured "brown" is entirely new, consisting of embankments formed, and a cut made, and deepened to nine feet. at low water. They are at present excavating and deepening the river, from the bridge down to the cut, and widening the quays at the north, or town-side of the river, to meet the rapidly increasing demands of the trade. When these works are finished, vessels drawing 9 feet water will be able to get up to the quays at Belfast, at low-water springs. There will be always some difficulty in navigating the tortuous part of the channel, until the second cut is made (particularly in thick weather or dark nights), owing to the great length of the steam-vessels now generally in use. When the second cut is maie down to Garindyle, th e c h anne l will b e s traight. Gas lamps may be placed at intervals, along the embankment, which would enable steam-vessels to run up and down at all times, as easily as a carriage goes along the street. As a port of com munication with Scotland, and the north of England, there is no doubt but a great many passengers would fiud it very convenient to be landed at Belfast; yet, it must be remembered, that the sea passage between it and Cairnryan is fifteen miles longer than that between the Cairn and Larne; and, although these fifteen miles are performed in the comparatively smooth water of Belfast Lough, considerable delays might reasonably be expected from navigating it in Wick weather, or dark nights, particularly among the shoals at the upper and narrow part of it; on the other hand, passengers or mails landed at Larne might be sent in two directions. Those for the northern parts of Ireland might go direct by a railroad to Ballymena, or by the new road along the north-east of Ant r i m to Coleraine, Londonderry, Donegal, and Slip.v, while the other portion destined for Belfast, and the wh o l e o f- t h e centre an d south of Ireland, would find a rapid and economical mode of transmission, by means of a railroad to Belfast. It is, therefore, rea sonable to suppose that a majority of the passengers would prefer the safest and most expeditious sea passage, which is, manifestly, that between Lechryan and Loch Larne, in conse quence o f there b e i n g no limit to the size or power of th e s t eamers, w hi c h might be placed on that line. to the best of my , Having compli e d w i t h your i nstruc tions, by reporting, Larne, Loch Ryan, P ortpatr i c k , D o n a ghad ee, and Belfast, on the I humbly submit, for t h e i r L or d s hips information, the press nt state of Loch following trials I made last month (December, 1845),,t0 test the relative merits of the route by Portpatrick and Donaghadee with that by Loch Ryan and Loch Larne. On the 22d of last month I went, during one of the hardest gales we had this winter from the N.N.W., in the Albion, an iron merchant steamer, from Stranraer to Belfast (49 miles), in five hours and a half. The Albion is about two hundred tons burthen, has one hundred and thirty horse power, and draws when loaded six feet and a half water. She had a full cargo, and averaged nine miles an hour against the gale. I timed her from passing Cairnryan to abreast of Larne, and she ran the distance (30 miles) in three hours and a half. This, considering the circumstances of wind and water, is as long a passage as would occur, during the year, be tween Cairtir3 an and Larne. I also went, on the 17th of last month, in the Pike mail boat. Lieut. Boyton, from Donaghadee to Port patrick. The water was smooth : we had a leading wind, and the sails were set ; yet, owing to the limited size and power of the boat, we were two hours and fifty minutes running across (19 miles.) This clearly proves the great superiority of the Larne and Loch Rpin. route ; fur the Albion wei:t against the hardest gale we had this winter, two miles an hour faster than the largest boat that could enter Portpatrick could go, in fine weather, with a fair Wind. The mail boats, during adverse gales, are obliged to tack, under steam and canvass, across the channel, having neither length nor power to stern the gale. The Pike, Lieut. Boyton, was, under such cit-catristances, nine hours and a-half crossing, a few days before I went in her. It will naturally occur to you, Sir, to ask, why has not the route via Portpatrick, been abandoned long ago, if there be such objections to it ? The reason is easily explained. NV hen the Commissioners of Inquiry into the Post-offic, Department, 1836, strongly and una nimously recommended in their report (Sixth Report of the Commissioners appointed to in quire into the department of the Post-office, 1836). that no further expense stiould be incurred on Portpatrick or Donsghadee, and that Cairnryan and Larne should bt. adapted as the best route for the mails, the proprietors of Portpatrick, and the civil engineer, stated that, if the 'no ne), then voted for the completion of Purtpatrick (23,700/ ) was expended on it, the harbour would he rendered perfectly safe, and poss • e ss amide accommodation fir the •t-eluss stea mers, drawin g 12 fe et w ater r e ception of firs and upwards.

(Eiracted from minutes of the proceedings of the Com missioners appointed in reference to the apprehended scarcity.) The Commission having had under their considera: tion the necessity of establishing local Committees, pro perly organized, in towns where destitution is likely to prevail, through whose superintendence the approach and progiess of distress, in such localities; may be watched, and the means of relief administered, according to the instructions of Government, it is resolved— I. That the Mayor, or, where there is no Mayor and Aldermen, the Chairman of the town Commissioners of any town in which it shall be established, on good and sufficient grounds, that extreme distress is near at hand, in consequence of the failure in the potato crop, be, requested to convene a meeting, composed of the follow ing classes:— Mayor and Aldermen. The town Commissioners (in towns where there is no Mayor or Aldermen) Clergymen of ali persuasions. Chairman of any Poor Law Union, which may include any part of the town. Poor Law guardians of electoral district or district Magistrates of Petty Sessions. That this meeting should select, from amongst them selves, not ‘more than twenty . members, who, with the resident Magistrates (if any), Cost-guard officers (where available) and an officer of the Board of Works, should form the Local Relief Committee. II That each Committee should hold regular periodi cal meetings, at a place or places to be fixed by there, where all Committee business should be transacted ; and that regular minutes should be kept of the proceedings. in a book to be supplied to them from this Commission, and that three members should be a ciaorum. III: That it is. evident, and-is also in strict accordance with the - tiews and instructions of the Government, that the owners of property, and other rate-payers, are the parties both legally and morally answerable for afford ing due relief to the poor, and that the same parties are, from their local influence, and. their knowledge bf the situation and wants of the people in their neighbour hood, best able to furnish such relief, without waste or misdirection of the means employed. That the measures to be adopted by the officers of Government, are to be considered merely as auxiliary to those which it, is the duty of the persons posssssed of property, in each neighbourhood, to adopt. That the Local Committee should, therefore, put them selves in communication with such persons, and should solicit subscriptions from them, proportioned to their means, and to the extent of distress m the locality to which they belong. That where, notwithstanding such subscriptions, some assistance is likely to be required from the Government, a list of the sums subscribed, together with a list of in. dividuals from whom subscriptions might have been ex pected, should be confidentially brought under the notice of the Lord Lieutenant, who, after due consideration of the case, will determine on the sum to be contributed, from the funds at his disposal, in aid of the local sub. scriptions. In cases where there may arise a scarcity of food, within a district, or the price of food may have been artificially raised, the Government will be prepared to transmit to the Local Committee, at cost price, including the ex penses of carriage, a quantity of food corresponding to the amount of subscriptions paid in for that purpose, and to place that food in the hanis of the Local Com mittee, for distribution, on their own responsibility, at cost price, or as wages of labour to destitute persons un employed on local works, or when absolute destitution is united within ability to labour, in gratuitous donations. IV. That, in cases where any assistance is afforded by Government, either in aid of local subscriptions, or otherwise, the following rules are to be invariably ob served in the administration of relief Ist. A task of work shall be required from every per son capable of giving it, who applies for relief. 2d. The payments for the work performed shall be made in food, and shall, in every case, co limited to such a quantity of food as will be sufficient to support the workman, and the helpless persons of his family. 3d. If, in any case, it be impracticable to pay in food, the payments in money shall be limited to vi hat is ab solutely necessary for the above purpose. 4th. Gratuitous relief shall be afforded only to thoss persons who are entirely incapable of giving a day's work, and who have no able-bodied relative on whom they are dependent, and in these cases only, in which their reception in the workhouse of the union to which they belong, is, from want of room, impracticable ; and, lastly, sth. The works in which destitute persons are em ployed, shall be in prosecution of some public improve ment, approved of by this Commission, or adjacent to, the distressed locality, and shall be such as will be capable of being brought at once to a close, when the circumstances of the people are improved. V. That the Committee should be prepared with plans or suggestions of small useful works of public improve ment, for the employment of the destitute poor, in all cases where relief is given to the able-bodied. PI. That the Committee should divide the town into districts, and should obtain minute reports of the cir cumstances of each family, from whom application for relief may be made ; that at their meetings certificates or. tickets should be given to such only as are ascer tained to be without means of providing for tbeir fami lies ; that such tickets or certificates be the authority to the Superintendent of the Public Works for receiving the persons to whom they are granted ; and that a re gister of all certificates or tickets granted by the Com mittee be preserved in a book, to be supplied for that purpose by this Commission. VIL That the secretary, or person officiating as such, of the Committee, should take charge of the books, and other documents, and should conduct the correspondence with this Commission. VIII. That towns in which there is no mayor lied aldermen, nor town commissioners, be considered as coming under the class of county relief districts. J. P. KENNEDY, Secretary. Castle, Dublin, 14th March, 1846. MATCH BETWEEN AN ENGLISE AND A FRENCH STEAMER. The following is an account of a match in the Gulf of Guinea, between the French frigate Caraibe and the English frigate Penelope : " Rear-Admiral Montagnies, commanding the squadron on the western coast of Africa, has just returned to Goree on board the steam-frigate Caraihe, who made a most rapid run of the fourteen hundred leagues from Senegal to Fernando Po and back again ; one month was sufficient for this double trip, and to confer with the English Commodore relative to the right of search and the execution of the treaty ut the 29th May. The commanders decided on a trial of speed be- tween their two vessels, and the English Commodore was glad of the occasion to measure his frigate with an adver sary worthy of her. The Caraibe is only of 450 h.-p., the Penelope of 670. This inferiority of 220 h.-p. was the more to the disadvantage of the Caraibe, as she is a longer boat, and was built for 1,748 tons, the Penelope not exceeding 1,616. Commander Jones was therefore confidieat of sue. cess. On the other side the French Commander, Count Bouet Willaumez, trusted to the good qualifications of hie vessel, and did not share in the good opinion the English Commodore had of the Penelope, as she was faulty in her construction, and he was confident of gaining on her con siderably or he should not have deemed a slight advantage as flattering to the Caraibe; he therefore increased his steam power by adding a supplementary weight of 20 kilograms of lead on each safety valve. The trial commenced out at sea on the 6th of February, at II A at., weather squally, the thermometer marking 35 deg. of heat. The signal was given by Hear-Admiral Montagnies. The vessels started under a stiff breeze, both engines plying at full speed. Art hour after starting the Caraibe slackened her pace to wait for her adversar%, being time,: miles a head. that is to say, two-thirds of a league in the hour; in ten minutes the. Penelope was alongside. The log of the Caraibe marked ten knots an hour. In coming alongside the Penelope heisted the French colours in compliment to the Caraibe. The second trial was to be with only three boilers. The French frigate again took the lead, leaving the English vessel far behind. She again slackened, having gained two miles and a half within the hour. The log of the Caraibe still marked ten knots, a stiff breeze at the time. The Penelope came alongside in fifteen minutes, and again hoisted the French colours. The third trial was with only two boilers, which is usual during the pa-wage across the Atlantic, and saves fuel. Tlie Penelope, which has tubular boilers, was in hopes of taking her revenge. At the end of the hour the Utiraibe was one mild and nine-tenths ahead. The Penelope took twelve minutes to come up, and not only hoisted the tricolor, but gave three lusty cheers, which were responded to by three cheers from the crew of the Caraibe, assembled in the shrouds. Commodore Jones, a worthy and brave old officer, was not sorry, he said, to have found so good an occasion for testing Ifis vessel ; and said to the French admiral " This must be, the happiest day of your life, Captain Bruit.' You mean, commodore, a happy day for M. Schneider, who made the engines.' The Penelope gave A parting salute of fifteen guns, which was replied to immediately by the Caraibe. The right of search falls to the ground on the 6th March, when the cruizers of either nation inspect their own flag."— Journal des Debuts. VENTILATION OF THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.— A return issued yesterday, by order of the House of Lords, shows that the cost of works done in warming and yentiLating the temporary Houses of Lords and Comm, ns Committee-roc/la and offices connected therewith has, since 1836, amounted to 11,2101., and that the cost of works done in warming and ventilating the new Committee-roans recently erected in Palace-yard and the Speaker's Court amounts to 1,2731. more,7making a total of 12,483/. The greatest expenditure was in 1836-7, when it reached 2,9041., and the lowest in 1843-4, when it only amounted to 1901. In the years 1845-6 It was 1,1161. INJUNCTION.—RUSSELL U.

The two prisoners were first appre hended at Chatham, on the 23d of last month, for passing bad shil lings at that place; but, es the evidence was not sufficient to send them for trial, they were discharged, on Monday, the 30th ult., and or the following day (Tuesday) they were both again apprehended by Thomas Everest, constable at Northfieet, passing a bad half crown at Mr. Abraham Flint's, Plough Tavern, at that place, for a pint of porter. The prisoners, on ;he constable searching them, said they had no more, for that was the last one which they had brought NY ith them from Chatham, and the man Jones said "I gave the half crown to the landlord, as we thought we were tar enough out of the Rochester district." The above case and another from Chatham was taken agekuit the patella') rho ou/A coamittei for trial. 1. C. F. Murdoch, St. John's 2. G. F. Holrovd, Trinity 3 5.. T E S. ..

There was but little done yesterday, and that at the first-named odds. The Oxonians came to Putney on Monday, and went to work without loss of time. The Cambridge party Welt up their quarters on Tuesday at Avisa's, the Bells, at the same place, a m n e d n , b o to th had a t h t e u m n i s e a l g v a e s i n s a t s e i c g o h m ts p , e m t e a n u t n e asd by o y sa c i r b a l c e k fo w r a t t e h r e great struggle. whh head e k atr ' deot difficultuwt rhlee Oxonians'rsn:et to e e a l b., n oso i tar e rat r s on, fskod determineet, rs noseoe;tinfreaeebewduawt "paddled" holtnifeiosnt up to the scene Childe Harold, with the umpire, C.

At half-past eleven the crews drew to their stations off Mortlake to row to Putney-bridge. Both looked in fine con dition, and appeared confident. The colours for Oxford were dark blue, those of Cambridge light blue. No time was lost in getting away. Mr. E. Searle gave the signal, and they both took it admirably.

The Cantabs passed under the Suspension bridge, at Hammersmith, with their opponent's nose about level with their No. 4, and stimulated by the acclamations of the assembled thousands, the Oxford party again " put on the steam," and ere their arrival at the Crab Tree, were again level with their opponents. So evenly were they matched, so lasting appeared their powers, even at the extraordinary pace at which the distance had been rowed, that it was ques tionable which would first reach the goal. They both again pulled as vigorously as though the race had just commenced, but the Oxonians could not get their boat's nose in front, and Cambridge, pulling on a final spurt, gradually, when almost within sight of home,firew away, and won by three lengths.

SMITH O'BRIEN, M.P., AND THE RAILWAY COMMITTEES. Oxford and Cambridge Club, Pall-mall, April 8, 1846. Sir,—l have this morning received a letter, signed " Henry Creed," by which I am informed that my name is on the list from which Members will be selected to serve on railway committees, which will commence their sittings in the week beginning Monday, April 27, during which week it will be necessary that I should be in attendance for the pur pose of serving, if required, on a railway committee. With reference to this communication, I beg to inclose a copy of a letter, addressed to you as chairman of the Com mittee of Selection, upon the occasion of my having received a similar intimation from Mr. Creed on the 28th of June, 1845. I have not seen any reason since that letter was written to change the determination therein expressed. Indeed, the circumstances under which I attend Parliament during the present session are such as to render adherence to that deter mination an imperative duty. I have been called over from Ireland at a period when the deplorable situation of that country requires the presence of all whose duties connect them with it, for the purpose of re sisting a measure by which it is proposed to invade the per sonal freedom, and to suspend the constitutional liberties, of the Irish people. In offering resistance to that measure, it 1 , will be necessary for me to assist in exposing the systematic misgovernment which has produced those results which fur nish a pretext for this renewed attempt to coerce Ireland. The time and facilities at my command being limited, I do not feel myself at liberty to allow my attention to be diverted from subjects of higher import to matters of local concern, which do not affect the interests of my country I must, therefore, respectfully decline to serve on eny com mittees on private Bills, except such as relate to Ireland. I am aware that the House has the power to deprive my constituents of such humble services as I can render to them, by imprisoning my person, contrary to law. I have fully considered, and am prepared to abide that alternative. I have the honour to be your obedient servant, WILLIAM S. O'BRIEN. To the Chairman of the Committee of Selection.

"LINCOLN." FREEMASON RY.—A grand conclave was held on Friday, at three o'clock, in the new Temple, Freemasons' Hall, for the pur pose of Installing Sir Knight Colonel C. K. K. Tynte as the most emi nent and supreme Grand Master of the Masonic Knights Templar of England and Wales. The grand conclave having been duly opened by the Grand Sub-Prior (Sir Knight Burekhardt), the Grand Direc tor of Ceremonies (Sit Knight Cructlex) mustered the escort. and in• troduced the Grand Master, who was received with due honours, the Sir Knights presenting arms as he passed under the canopy of steel. Ills Eminence addressed the grand conclave on the occasion, con gratulating them on the revival of this exalted branch of the ma sonic tree. In tho subsequent appointment of grand officers It was gratifying to observe that hunours were conferred upon several pro vincial members of the grand conclave. At the banquet in the grand hall, at which nearly a hundred sir Knights were present, the Grand Master took the chair, supported by W. Stuart, Dep. 0.18., sir Frederick Fowke, Major Shute, Michael rumen (i'rov. (3. for North Munster), W. H. White. Spencer, W. Tucker, J. Urucefix (G.C. Scotland), Goldsworthy, Dimmer, Claydou, Gibblns, er, &c. &c. The gallant Chairman conducted the social duties with admirable tact; his addresses were pertinent, and gave muck satisfaction. Sir Knight Crouch and friends contributed greatly to the pleasure of the day by their tuneful melody, and the arrange ments were all in good keeping. Mr. Bacon left nothing undone ou his part as host. We ought tint to omit to state that the new Temple as well as the new Ilidi were very appropriately fitted up. MANY A CLIP BET WREN THE CUP AND THE LIP.— On Tuesday morning last, a young man of the name of William Ward, was brought before the Mayor, at Lincoln, charged with ob taining on the previous day front Mr. Green, merchant, of Lincoln, a Si. note, under false pretences. Ward was, it was said, a few mouths ago a servant with Colonel Elmhlrst, hi whose establishment was a domestic Who won the heart of sweet William, and on Tues day morning they were to have been married, bet having some dif ficulty in raising the needful, and calling to mind the fact that a Mr. Cottingham, a farmer, near Wragby, occasionally sold wheat to, and did business with Mr. Green, merchant, of Mark's-lane, ho went to that gentleman with Mr. Cottingham's compliments, and solicited the loan of a 51, note for Mr. Cottingham. Sir. Green having oc casional'y lent Mr. Colthigham small sums of money, handed the h/. not to Ward, remarking to him at the same time it was strange that Mr. Cottingham had not sent a note for the money, as he had always done before. Ward made some excuse and Set off with the cash. Soon after lie was gone, Mr. Green began to think, that he had been rather too green itt allowing Ward to depart with the Si. note, and to set the matter right, he mounted his horse and rode over to Mr. Cottingham, and then Mr. Green found that he had been " done brown." Ward, as soon as he got hold of the money, began to buy furniture, and sundry articles of dress, in order to make a dashing turn out the next morning, but in the evening he was captured and conveyed to the lock-up, Mr. Green, on his re turn home, having set a policeman to trace out the unlucky swain. On examination at the station•house, it appeared that the 51. note had melted do Wei to 6s. or is , and from the pockets of the prisoner were taken a pair of new white gloves and other articles. Instead of being set at liberty to get married, the man was remanded until niday, in order that Mr. Cottingh.ira may be examined, and he will then most likely be committed for trial.—Lincolnshire Chronicle.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The Apollo came into harbour this afternoon, in tow of the Echo tug, to refit. A. bold attempt at smuggling was made at the mouth of the harbour this morning by a waterman named John Martin, who bad got 291bs. of manufactured tobacco (Caven dish) iu the boat; be was, however, suspected, and boarded by two officers from the Gosport Coast-guard station, but Martin resisted their endeavours to secure the tobacco, which was concealed under the head-sheets of the boat, and took up a pig of ballast (an iron mess, weighing about 701b5.), and dashed it into the bottom of his boat with the intention of staving and sinking her; the officers of the Nelson cutter, however, having witnessed the scuffle, sent assistance in another boat, who succeeded in making good the capture. Martin and a boy (his son) were taken before the magistrate, and the former was remanded to await instructions from the Commissioners of Customs and the latter was discharged. The wherry in which the smuggled tobacco was seized was taken to the Custom-house and given into the charge of Mr. George Dudley, her Majesty's warehouse-keeper, but while the boat was being formally delivered into the custody of that gentleman, st mob which had collected on the Custom-house quay on hearing of the capture of the smuggler, among whom were many more ;reckless characters of the same description, endeavoured to prevent this being carried into effect by attempting to rescue a lad named Butcher, who had been given into custody by Mr. Dudley for obstructing the officers in the execution of their duty, are ' aced a riot, and attempted to throw the Custom-house officers into the water; but fortunately, with the assistance of the commander of the Nelson cutter and a gentleman named Collins, who was on the spot at the time, the prisoner Martin was secured and taken before Major Travers, one of the justices of the peace for the borough, and after hearing the evidence he was remanded for seven das s. Other parties recognised in the transaction are being sought after, war rants having been granted for their apprehension. The offence is punishable with seven years' transportation, or three years' imprisonment. The Adventure naval transport, with stores on board for Plymouth and Milford yard., went out of harbour to-day and anchored at Spithead, the wind blowing too strong from the westward, with heavy squalls, to allow of her proceeding further. The Sparrow surveying -vessel, Commander Otter, hauled out of Blockhouse-hole this morning into the fairway, and is now taking in water. She has been supplied with a tender here (a line-of-battle ship's launch), which has been neatly fitted and rigged like herself, but so outrageously overmasted that very great care and skill will be requisite in the ma nagement of her, to prevent her from " turning turtle," and forming a coffin for her crew.
