Sir , ,—Wheneve r the interests of the navy are toncerzied, it has always called forth from your pen a love of justice, and the warmest concern for the welfare of that service ,• these circumstances induce me to make a few remarks on the late appointment of Commodore Sir F. Collier to the command of the Experimental Squadron, in the hope that your talented and independent paper may remark upon it. The Admiralty have certainly manifested wisdom and dis cernment in the appointment of that (Ricer, but at the same time they have proclaimed to the world, that out of two hundred admirals they cannot find one capeble of taking charge of a squadron; how these admirals will endure the insult and partiality displayed is another question. Be this as it may, it proves beyond tiouht that the system of patron age which predominates at the Admiralty is bad and dis- Lusting. Need y ou proo f ? T urn to Haltour ' s new Navy ist. Look at the columns of the periods of promotion, of the different grades, and also the services of the different officers; couple this with the millions spent in altering and building ships. If anything will come home to the under standings of the public, surely this will. There is only one consolation for this, insulted public, and the majority of aficas composing the navy that public bodies, however corrupt, quail under the influence of the press and public opinion.--• lhave the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, Cheltenham, M a A LOVER OF JUSTICE . y 1, 1846. LOSS OF THE FALCO. „ PLUNDERING OF THE- SLAJL-&e. Lltters have been receivarl contana e BAGS, iouncement - of the total loss of the brig Falco, (7ri the announcement Zealand, New Zealand, and an attack made on the unfortunate crew and plundering the cargo by the natives. The Falco, it appears, sailed from Boston in the early part of last year, on a trading voyage to the islands of the Pacitis, having on board the new American Consul for New Zealand. She touched on her way at Swan River, King George's Sound, and Adelaide, prosperous voy age , to New aznedalatnhden. Sheproc e a e n ded ive , d aft a e t r a Port Nicholson in the month of fJournAe,uacnkdlasnad via iledhTab hence with Cape, on the 2 withtheGoN-enTE h of the ient following mails on board month. The vessel reached the Cape, and she was brought to an anchor at a place called Wangawai, where, in the course of a few hours afterwards, it came on a violent storm. During the succeeding night she rode with both anchors down, until about two o'clock, when the wind lass broke in two, by the excessive pressure on it. Immediately she was carried by the furious waves through the breakers, over a reef a mile in extent, and struck on a shelf of rocks and stands on a steep shore; the masts were cut away in crossing the reef'. For a time the situation of those belonging to her was perilous in the ex treme —every sea making a complete breach over the decks and nearly washing them off; as the tide receded, however, the wreck was left high and dry, enabling the crew to walk ashore.: Finding the vessel not much injured, they returned, and were about preparing to get her again afloat, when a large number of natives, in concert with the Europeans living on the island, rushed on board and committed the most disgraceful outrages. Having hemmed in the captain and officers on the quarter-deck, and threatened them with violence if they offered any resistance, they broke open the hatches, and, getting into the hold, commenced plundering everything that was valuable. They opened the mail-bags and boxes, and scattering their contents in the hold, ob tained all the Government dispatches, which they tore up and otherwise destroyed. One European was seen opening what seemed to be a private letter, and robbing it of its contents, which appeared to be money and bank notes, and several others imitated his example. They afterwards began to strip the vessel, tearing off the copper, cutting thesheathing, stancheons, bulwarks, and destroying the hull in every part with pole-axes. It was quite evident to all the respectable Europeans in the neighbourhood, that the whole work of destruction and piracy was a preconcerted plot between the whites and the natives, and that unquestionably the chief blame was to be attributed to the former, who seemed to vie with each other in their outrages. The American consul contrived, at the onset, to escape, with a large amount of specie and papers of great value, which he had charge of, and obtain security in a gentleman's house, some distance along the beach. Some few days afterwards an attack was threat ened by the natives to possess themselves of the treasure, but • their nefarious plans were frustrated by a number of armed gentlemen, who, with about two hundred, guarded the place night and day, until the an ival of a vessel to take the consul and the officers and crew of the Falco to their destination. The wreck was subsequently burnt. BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.—Last evening this Society held its eighth soiree for the season. The Earl of Devon, its distinguished PreAchnt, who returned yesterday from Ireland, was present, surrounded by a very numerous and fashionable com pany of the members and their families. The musical visitors were more than usually numerous, and inc'uded Madame Dulcken, Made moiselle Schloss, Miss Paintorth Miss Dolby, M iss M essent, Miss Richards, Mr. and Madame Mac ' farreu, Mr. Charles Soloman, Mr. Vincent Wallace, Mr. Kialimack, Mr. Sloper, Mr. Tarish Alvars, Mr. Grattan Cooke, Mr. Catkin, Mr. ilodda, Mons. Deloffne, Mons, filet, Mr. Richardson, Mr. Jarratt, Mr. Goodlaw, Mr. Case, and many others. Among the instrumental pieces performed during the evening, the most striking were a grand quintett of Sphor's, written for accom• paniments of wind instruments, and admirably sustained by the flute, clarionet, horn, and bassoon, and a splendid trio of Beethoven's, for piano, violin, and violoncello, both of which were executed In a most effective mmnier, as well as a concerto on the oboe, and a thems, with variations, on the concertina. These were agreeably inter spersed with single songs, duets, and concerted pieces, which were charmingly sing, and prelonzed the evening's entertainment to a late hour, to the great gratification of a wry numerous and brilliant audience. ONE HUNDRED VOLUMES.—The celebrated Standard Novels, published by Mr. Bentley, have reached one hundred volumes. by the publication of " Ayesha," Morier's popular Oriental romance. In no language can such a body of fiction be found—it Is altogether unrivalled. Sir E. Bulwer Lytton and Godwin, Marryat and Cooper, Theodore Hook and Mrs. Gore, Miss Austen and Mrs. Brunton, Max well and Galt-1n fact, all the best modem novelists Combine to give the " Standard Novels " a variety and richness which belong to them alone. Such a collection of the best modern works of fiction is ti uly indispensable to every library, and without it not any can be called complete. NIGHTINGALES NEAR LONDON.— Last season a pair of these delightful songsters took up their abode in the Surrey Zoological Gardens, where they built their nest and hatched their young. On Wednesday last they re-appeared in their old quarters close by the New.street entrance, where they are occasionally fed by the person iu attendance, and warble forth their delicious melody early and late. HocusslNG.—Suppose one of these characters wants to borrow ten pounds of you. Were he to ask point blank for the loan, he knows you would peremptorily refuse it. He therefore tries a little hocussing, administering the medicine according as he esti mates your disposition. If he suppose you to be a vain man, he will open the conversation by praising your pictures, your wine, your wife, your eldest boy, or your last new book. At length, by insidious and delicately-introduced flattery, he awakens your self-esteem in so high a degree, that it completely overwhelms your caution. When' he has deadened your acquisitive faculties, and completely fuddled your powers of calculating the chances of ever seeing the money again, he puts the momentous question; in the midst of one of his most superlative bursts of admiration—at which he perceives your eye to kindle with delight, he asks in a tone of well-dissembled in difference, " By the by, could you oblige me with the loan of ten pounds?" If you have been effectually hocussed—with praise In stead of laudanum—you ring for your check-book, and without delay sign a draught for the amount in MlL—Our Own Times. AFFECTING INClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, while the schooner John Bromley was passing out of the St. Katharine's Dock, through the lock, into the river, the wife ot one of the seamen on board, who was standing on the quay, being anxious to take ano ther farewell of her husband, from whom she had parted about two hours previous, made a sudden leap from the pier -head to the deck of the schooner. She fell with great violence on the main hatchway, and was stunned by the fall. Her husband, who was aloft doing duty in the maintop, and who saw the accident, immediately de scended to the deck and assisted in conveying his devoted but unfor tunate wife to the Bull's Head public-house. where she was att ended 4 face by a surgeon.

Trust not to the words of vain rumour —close your ears to the voice of empty prediction —as Ulysses rendered his auri cular organs impervious to the song of the Syrens. You will, perchance, hear that the curtains that decorate the opera boxes are going to be nyed ; but expect nothing of the kind. Even as gold—actual gold—the gold whereof, say our spelling-books, " guineas and half-guineas are made " asserts its superiority over all other metals, so shall the seeming gold of the curtains proudly triumph over every re.• bellious hue that would interfere with its dominion. Red, s b h s ; e ll k l o g nf r o o tth o ti n e deeply blushing at its own presumption, shall slink from t d r t e e ; 1 - 1) r:i l l : i t: r o t' the field; green, though it surveys the gold with jealous their re spective , eves, shall avoid the contest ; white shall remain pallid in the rebellious looking sdci ospl ouut re s i : t itself—that ththe they supremacy shall is, ret :r retire with looking aietkh otfh e c ou rse h would never think of raising a question about the matttr ; and as for all the hybrid shades that arise from the intermar riagespectiveparents. For, pindeed, why should the g oldbe displaced ' curtains. To gold, as we have hinted, belongs . the supremacy of natural right. If lou want • al.:hemist (poor K an impartial judge, catch an ellermann is dead) and ask him.

But, say some, will not the gold curtains counteract th e effect which the ladi es oug ht t o pro d uce, by the joint efforts of their loveliness and th e i r dressmakers? We are not sure that we ought to condescend to npswer this objection, seeieg_ that we set forth in our very last • number that the gold curtains were to be considered as so many frames, inclosing a number of beautiful pictures. Nevertheless, we will not content ourselves with a reference to the April New Monthly, but will bring forward a new strong authority, no other than the goddess Aurora herself. Homer tells us 1-14n—xpeadreinkos ElaPaTO niwav eV aLaw. that Eos (Aurora), clad in saffron-coloured peplus, was dii fused on all the earth, and do our readers suppose that the said Aurora, at whose bidding all flowers resume their hue, who is the first to make the earth wear a variegated gar ment, was such a wretched judge of colours that she picked out the most unbecoming of them all ? Did she wish to look especially faded in the eyes of that Tithonus, whom she had begged Zeus to immortalise ? No; if she had, Tithonus, in his cricket-form would not now be singing to her praises on the winter's hearth. As to any objection that saffron colour may not be precisely the same as bouton d'or we dis miss it as hair-splitting and frivolous. Again, when th 3 troop of satyrs were all made slaves to Polyphemus, and mourned after their lawful: sovereign, Bacchus, the very first peculiarity in that beloved deity that occurred to their pides, minds did they was his sing " yellow hair." Th us , according to Euri :— Oaos, a sbae llatcxere, vac olonvAits, favOilv xatrav 1764.111 , Which is admirably rendered by Shelley—. " Bacchus, oh beloved! where, Shaking wide thy yellow hair, Wand'rest thou alone, afar?" Now Bacchus, as we all know, w as th e ear l y conqueror of India, a kind of foreshadowing of the East India Company ; and do we suppose that in the very land of dyes, where blue and black divinities are in fashion, and where the people think it marvellous proper to stain their hands and feet with henna, he would have allowed his hair to retain its pristine yellowness, had he not been convinced that no other hue was so becoming to his complexion ? Therefore, oh ! in habitants of the boxes, cease to dread the effect of the bouton d'or curtai ns . Let Guido's picture over the stage remind you of Aurora, and Lucile Grahn's pas de Bacchante (if she ; dances it) remind you of Bacchus—to say nothing of authorities in the shape of amber-coloured boudoirs, &c. supposing the case, that to certain dull habiliments, the curtains are unfavourable—is it necessary that the sombre attire should remain in fashion for an entire season? Berlin guardsmen had portraits of Fanny Elssler painted on their pipes ; French ladies of the revolutionary period wore chapeaux a la guillotine; a certain sort of fans, used in the days of Mazurier, the famous Jocko, recorded his triumphs by exhibiting the variou, colours of the ape. What has not set a fashion ? And now it would surely be worth while for dressmakers to set their heads together, and escogitate, colours that may stand in relief against the gold curtains. There is am old proverb about Mahomet going to the moun tain when the mountain would not come to Ai ahomet. Turn we to the physical world. Whence did experimen talists derive their first knowledge of the electric fluid ? Why, they found that amber, when warm, had a power of attracting light substances. This was the first revelation ; and from the Greek word ;;), ~.escrpov, is the word " electri city " derived. Here is a whole department of science founded on the attractive powers of amber. And shall the amber curtains that so vividly represent the hue of the mineral, prove repulsive to the hearts of the habitues —which being hearts free from care, are light substances par excel knee. After a while, to be sure, the bits of feather, &c., being fully electrified, were found to start back from the amber. But these curtains are new, friends, these curtains are new, and the period of satiety cannot yet have approached. At present, therefore, they must attract, or a physical ab surdity will be symbolised. Moreover, what colour could be substituted? An ancient metaphysician proved that anything that is not something, must be something else, and hence the curtains if they be not gold colour, must be of some colour which is not like gold. Hang up your boxes with red, an d ma k e th e w h ole interior of the Opera-house look like Judge Jeffrey's court during the "Red Assize," and nothing will be more heavy. Blue will be cold and cheerless. Green will be as unpleasant to the eyes, as its superabundance in the pictures of an unskilful landscape painter. Run over the list of colours, and you will find you must return to the theory of the paintings in the gilt frames, and allow the bouton d'or to maintain its place. Therefore, to go back to the point whence we started— heed no rumours about chromatic transformations, but resist them as an obstinate player on the horn proverbially resists the conductor of an orchestra. The bouton d'or is firmly fixed, and neither Atlas, who carried the world on his shoulders, nor the monkey Hanuman, who carried a rock on the tip of his tail, can remove it from its place.
