NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The remains of the late Colonel Swale, of the Royal Marines, Commandant of the Woolwich Division, who died at his residence at Southsea, on Saturday night last, were interred this morning with full military honours, the Gallant Colonel having died in command, in the ground of the garrison chapel, within these walls. The remains were followed to the grave by nearly all the naval and military officers in com.mission at this port. We believe Lieutenant- Colonel Peebles succeeds to the colonelcy, and Brevet- Major Whylock to the lieutenant-colonelcy. Colonel Peebles was second-lieutenant, and served in the boats of the Queen Charlotte in an action with Spanish gun boats off Gibraltar ' • and the recapture of the hired armed cutter, the Lady Nelson, in 1799 ; was burnt out of the Queen Charlotte off Leghorn in 1800 ; com manded a detachment of marines in an attack on Finale; and was present at the capture by boarding of the Prima galley at the Mole of Genoa, and also at the surrender of that city ; was wounded in the boats of the Caroline in action with a Fr. nch zebec and armed packet, and served at the blockade of Leghorn, and in the boats at an attack upon vessels within the Mole; was first lieutenant, and served in the Blanche when captured by the French frigate Topaze and consorts, 1805, and was severely wounded. Lieutenant-Colonel Whylock was first lieutenant, and served in the boats of the Mercury at the capture of a convoy under the guns of the batteries of Rota; assisted in a flotilla of Spanish gun-boats in 1808 at Rovigno, at Pesaro, in the Gulf of Venice, and at Barletta, 1809; commanded a detachment of Marines at Isle Verte, 1812; and participated in numerous other services of a similar nature, particularly at the destruction of a convoy at Civita Vecchia, in 1813. When at the head of the Marines he stormed a battery which protected the shipping; was captain in command of a detach ment on the coast of Syria, at the storming of Sidon, &c., 1840. A Dutch man.of-war arrived at Spithead this after noon; not having saluted, she is believed to be a store ship. By the advices we obtained by the Cyclops we are in formed Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker had changed his flag from blue to white. We believe we are correct in stating that Vice-Admiral Bouverie will not be ap pointed to relieve Sir William Parker of his charge of the squadron in the Tagus, as has been frequently re ported of late. The Daring, 12, Commander Matson, was at Vera Cruz, all well, on the Ist tilt. The Modeste, 18, Commander Watkins, was in the Columbia River en the 30th of July. The Fisgard, 42, Captain Dantze ; Cormorant steam sloop, Commander Gordon ; the Herald, surveying ship, Captain Kellett; and the Pandora tender, Com mander Wood, were in the Straits of San Juan de Fuca on the 30th of July. Admiral Seymour, in the Culling wood, was also expected at the date of our letter. The Grappler steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Lyssught, left to-day at neon for Plymouth, whence she will _proceed to the Island of Ascension and the west coast orAfrica. a. The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Radcliffe, went out of harbour this afternoon, and sailed immediately for Sheerness. The lEolus, provision depot, Master-Commander J. Thomas, having completed her cargo of provisions, went out of harbour this afternoon. Lighters are being employed in •' slinging" the barque Hampshire, which sank alongside the jetty yesterday. INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE OF A SOLDIER. Sergeant Wilson, late of the Grenadier Guards, who had for many years been a resident in Canterbury, and whose death is recorded in our obituary, often amused his friends by recounting the perils of his past career. He had been all through the Peninsular War with the Duke of Wellington, and was in the final struggle at Waterloo, where he was miraculously preserved from death by his breastplate. It was on the afternoon of the 18th that his regiment formed a square to receive Buonaparte's grand charge of cavalry. As they ad vanced they fired a volley, which killed his right hand man, named Swaffer (to whom he was giving a piece of tobacco), and he, Wilson, received a ball on his breastplate, and so great was the shock that he was stunned, and fell down senseless. When he came to, he found his regiment had retired, so he crept under one of the enemy's horses, which sheltered him from the fire of the French. Presently his regiment re turned to its former position, when he crawled into the square. The officer in command then told him to go to the rear, and make the best of his way to Brussels: he then started off through the forest, but so stiff from the blow of the ball, which doubled the breastplate completely up, the ball remaining in it, that he could scarcely walk. About the middle of the night he came up with a Prussian picquet, refreshing themselves with some roasted ducks, when a scene so ludicrous oecurred, that the worthy sergeant told the writer of this notice he should have laughed heartily, but for being in such pain from the blow. He could not understand them; nor they him; and seeing him walk, supposing he was all right, asked him how the battle fared, by motions, Ste.; but the sergeant had so much ammunition in his pouch that he wanted taken out, and also the knapsack off his back, before he deigned to supply any news. They not understanding his motions towards his pouch, thought he was hungry, and offered him a fine duck jest roasted, but he shook his head, and they chattered away, no doubt thinking he was mad; at last, by a des perate. effort, he made signs and groaned; and lifted the top of the pouch up, which they then quickly emptied, and filled their own pouches, having shot all theirs away. Wilson then managed to eat as fast as they fed him. He then went on to Brussels, where he arrived the following afternoon about three o'clock, when two kind ladies took him into their house, nursed, and gave him restoratives, &c., till he recovered. He then joined his regiment at Paris, and after a few more years' service he was discharged with a pension, and having married poor Swaffer's widow (who was in an orchard at the time of the battle, close by), he came to live at Canterbury, where his delight was to relate the above incident, and show his visitors the breastplate and ball, which he afterwards suspended over his mantel pitleM". It may be as well, perhaps, to relate that poo r bwrifer's son, who was then an infant, is now post. boaster in a thriving town in South Australia."—.Dever Telegraph. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. beg leave to call your attention to an incor rect statement, with regard to the trial of Thomas Foulkes and Henry Foulkes, of Stockwell and Walworth, omnibus proprietors, in your papers of Monday and Tuesday last, at the Surrey Sessions, Ilorsemonger lane, Newington, for an assault committed upon me on the 23d of July last, the incorrect statement, of which I have to complain being this—that my brother Wil lino Henry Ball, who was not near the spot, is intro duced the prosecutor, instead of John 13n11, and also the sentence upon'the prisoners, in continuation of the proceedings in the preceding day's trial (Monday), is not correctly given. The sentence of the Court is this, that each of the prisoners be confined in Horsemonger-lane Gaol for fourteen dap, to pay a fine of 101. each, to enter into their own sureties of 100/. each, and to find further sureties of two 501. each, to keep the peace towards me for twelve months. Forty-eight hours' notice of bail to be given to the prosecutor. Your attention, in correcting the above in your valuable paper, will oblige, Sir, your obedient servant. JOHN BALL. Kennington Cross, Dee. 11, 1846. MADAME ANNA BISHOP.—This lady appeared for the last time in the character of Isoline, at Drury lane Theatre last evening, and her farewell was as triumphant as her delit. She leaves London immediately, in order to fulfil her numerous provincial engagements, during the Course of which she will appear in several of her most popular Italian characters. We are happy to hear, however, that our provincial friends will not be per mitted to engross entirely the attention of the prima donna, who returns to London in April for the season. .1 ESCAPE OF A TITLED OFFENDER.—We are ap prised by the reply given to Mr. Hallett's question at the CORlMissioners' meeting on Wednesday evening, that this matter has been brought under the notice of the Police Committee; but, independently of this very meagre in formation, we du nut learn that any efficient or searchirg inquiry has ham set on foot. Now, we beg to warn the Police Committee that this is not a matter to be played with. The public at large take a deep interest in it, and a mock investigation will only have the effect of establishing the belief that the town authorities are unfit to have the management of a police force. For the mo ment we refrain from saying more; but it may be neces sary to apply the ferret hereafter, if the present apathy and distegard of the general feeling of indignation is obstinately persisted in.—Brighton Guardian. SEIZUR-11 OF AriOTURR ILLICIT DISTILLERY. Messrs. Bayford and Lewins, the Excise officers, who recently made a seizure of the extensive illicit distillery near the Waterloo-road, yesterday evening (from in formation received) proceeded to a house in Little Windmi;l-street, near the New-cut, Lambeth. They knocked for admission, but received no answer. Having procured a ladder, they succeeded in effecting an en tranci by the first-floor window, and on preeding to the adjoining apartment, they found a most complete distillery, calculated for carrying on a large trade. It was fitted with a 40-gallon copper still, which had been recently worked oft; as, at the time of the entrance of the officers, it was quite warm. The stock of spirits was not so great as was expected, the principal portion of the fnent working having evidently been removed. A quatOity of fermented wash had been prepared for the best day's operation, which was destroyed by the officers. As no persocs were found on the premises, with the small stock of spirits, it is possible that this visit had been anticipated. A van having been procured, the whole of the contraband stock-in-trade was conveyed to the Excise warehouses in Broad. street. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.— On Thursday , afternoon an inquest was taken before Mr. Baker, at the Green Man, High-street, Poplar, on the body of George William Henry, aged 20 years, late stoker on board the steam tug Newcastle. On Tuesday last the vessel was lying in the river, off the City Canal. Tbe deceased and a female, named Catherine Neale, were going on *hors in a small boat.

IREL AND. STATE OF THE PROVINCES.-TERRIBLE DESTITUTION. A GUILLOTINE SCENE in FRANCE; Being at Dunkirk a few years ago, I heard that a murderer was to be executed at Mount Cassel, and I re solved to witness the scene. I accordingly rose very early on the fated morning, and ordered a post chaise to take me to the town where the dreadful tragedy was about to be enacted. After a ride of about an hour and a half, through a fine district, the height of Mount Cassel developed itself in bold outline in the horizon. A number of large windmills upon the summit of the hill met my eyes; and as I advanced more nearly towards the place of destination, the beauty of the ad jacent country and the distant scenery seemed to borrow new charms. At length just as the clock of the town struck seven, the vehicle rolled along that part of the road which runs round the northern base of the lofty mountain, and in ten minutes more I stopped at the Hotel d'Angleterre. This establishment is situate upon the Grand Place, or Market Place, on which an immense crowd had already assembled; and in the midst of that multitude, rose high in the air the beams and axe of the dread engine of slaughter which had been erected to wreak the vengeance of the law upon a criminal. The morning was now delightful in the extreme; but never more were the seasons and their changes to shed joy upon the soul of the doomed one; never again would it be his in this life to mark the ingress of one, or the egress of another! Spring, which is so charming, with its soft mornings, and buds, and blossoms, when earth has shaken off the icy hand of winter ; Summer, so pleasant with its blight evenings, and flowers, and rural scenes, and excursions; Autumn, so delicious with its golden days, each one of which we could cleave to for ever; when the fields are heavy with the yellow harvest, and the gardens hang ruddy with fruits, and the sun, shorn of his fiery beams, is succeeded at night by the harvest moon; and then Old Winter, offering his bright fire-side, with pleasant friends or pleasant books; when, in spite of the freezing air without, the flow of soul gushes most sparkling within; so that while its chilling breath may blight all nature without, yet it is powerless upon the heart and soul of man; all these seasons, with their changes and their varied blessings, were now as no thing in respect to that wretched man whe was hover ing upon the verge of eternity ; unless, indeed, that cold winter which stands last upon our list, be taken as an effecting type of the other winter now about to follow—that long, cold, freezing winter in which no man can work ! The criminal, it appeared, had been convicted of a heinous offence—that of murder, accompanied by robbery, and other violence of an infamous nature in respect to a poor girl, who had acted in the capacity of servant to the deceased. The victim of the assas sination was a small farmer residing in the neigh bourhood of Mount Cassel, upon the estate of the Count de Vandamme ; and the perpetrator of the dreadful action was the farmer's nephew—a dissolute, wild, and incorrigible young man of only three-and twenty. He hal been arrested a few days after the murder, and in course of time was tried at Hazebrouck, where he was found guilty. The sentence was death. The culprit appealed unsuccessfully to the Court of Ces sation, by which tribunal the former judgment was con firmed ; and the day of execution had now arrived. The prisoner had been transferred, on the previous evening, from the prison of Hazebrouck to that of Mount Cassel, at which latter town the execution was ordered to take place, the crime having been perpetrated in the vicinity. At quarter to eight o'clock the bell of the church began to toll. By this time the entire market-place was thronged with spectators ; and every window commanding a view of the scene was crowded with human heads. Five thousand pair of eyes seemed to have made the scaffold the focus to which all their visual rays were directed. But there was no improper conduct amongst that living ocean, which appeared as if it had come to dash its waves against the guillotine —that dead and mysterious lighthouse erected there to warn away the giddy mariner from the shoals and sunken rocks of life ! There was a busy hum—a mur muring sound—like the whispering of myriads of voices ; but there were no indecent cries—no querrulous ejacu lations—no profane talk—no ribald jokes—no snatches of flash songs—no loud and boisterous laughter. The deportment of the multitudes in the market place below was as respectable and decent as that of the better classes who occupied the windows of the dwellings overlook ing it. It was now three minutes to eight, and breathless silence suddenly prevailed—like that sudden and awe inspiring lulling of the breeze upon the ocean just before the wing of the hurricane sweeps over its surface. That silence was broken by the chant of sacred hymns ; and from my window at the hotel I could now descry the funeral cavalcade slowly approaching from the farther extremity of the Grande Place. At first it seemed a dark line of persons, whose sombre uniformity was broken by the white robes of two priests ; but as the mournful procession drew gradually nearer and nearer, I could distinguish the tall and mar tial forms of the gendarmes with their drawn swords— the figures of the usher of the court which condemned the prisoner—the jailer, the commissary of police, the mayor, and other civic authorities—and amidst them all, the person of that young and luckless man for whom all this parade, ceremony, anxiety, curiosity, and assembly of multitudes bad taken place. Oh ! say not that one life is nothing in the great chain of creation—the doom of one miserable being who had never done a good action in his life, and who had hitherto dragged on a grovelling existence unnoticed and unknown—had caused the neighbouring towns and villages to pour forth their crowds—bad set the men of justice and the men of the sword to work, and had collected altogether in one point on this fatal morning I No insult was offered to the prisoner as he pas Fed along the passage opened for him by the crowd ; but if there were no public demonstration calculated to wound him, there was also an absence of any kind sympathy tending to cheer him. A deep, a stern, a solemn, a re ligious silence was maintained by the multitude as the malefactor, attended by the two priests, dragged himself to the foot of the guillotine. At that moment the exe cutioner, attended by his two assistants, appeared upon the scaffold. He lowered the axe, tried its edge, and then greased the grooves, iu which it worked up and down, with a piece of candle. The gendarmes helped the condemned one up the steps to the platform ; his face was colourless, and upon it could death impress no more hideous expression, nor throw a more ashy pallor than it already wore. His legs almost refused to per form their office ; his hands were clasped together in bitter—bitter agony of mind—but his eyeballs seemed dead and lustreless, although his brain was at that mo ment the seat of such appalling—such withering—such lightning blasting thoughts 1 Oh ! who may say what agonies were experienced by that young man during the few moments he stood upon the platform of the guillotine, while the executioner's assistants bound him to the fatal plank ? Who shall decide whether that short interval of ineffable horror were not meet expiation for even the dread crime of which he had been guilty ? Oh ! too dread subject for con templation, if mortal have exceeded the trust reposed in him, and flown in the face of his Maker by taking away even under the semblance and sanction of human justice, the lives of those who are created in that Maker's image The dread preparations were completed ; the criminal was bound powerless to a plank, which was then lowered to a horizontal position, and shoved onward until the head of the miserable man fitted into a hollow in a block of wood, perpendicularly placed beneath the hatchet. Another block of wood, also with a semicircular hol lowing was drawn down above his neck, so that his head was now fixed in a hole resembling those of the stocks. The priests leant forward to whisper the last consolation of man in the malefactor's ears, and all being ready, the executioner pulled a string which let the fatal axe loose. Down—down the newly greased grooves it fell, quick as the eye can wink ; and the head was here— anet the trunk was there 1 And then the crowds began to disperse, but less rapidly than they had assembled ; and one by one the spectators withdrew their heads from the windows, and the casements themselves were closed, or had their cur tains drawn down, and in an hour after the execution not a trace of that supreme act of the law was left —no, not even the blood of the criminal upon the pavement, nor a rafter of the guillotine in the market-place. DUBLIN, DEC. 9.—There have not been since the commencement of the visitation such harrowing accounts of suffering and destitution as those received this day. The Mayo Constitution, a Conservative journal, published in Castlebar, ar.nounces nine deaths from absolute want, and reports the inquests upon seven of the unfortunate sufferers! After the examination of medical men, the juries in all those cases returned verdicts, declaring that insufficiency of food was the cause of death. The fol lowing are abridged accounts of the inquests, from the Irish papers:— "In the neighbourhood of Turlough a poor man named Francis Bradley died last week from starvation. The poor wretch made several unsuccessful applications to the relief committee. A poor woman named Walsh also died last week from hunger. She was feeble and unable to work. "On the 29th ult. Mr. Atkinson, coroner, held an inquest at Bellina, on the body of Hugh Daly. Verdict —Death from starvation. " On Thursday last he held another inquest on the body of Michael Walsh, at Crosamolina. Verdict — Death from famine. "On the same day he held another inquest, in the same town, on the body of a man named Martin M'Govir. After the examinination of Dr. M'Nair and several witnesses, the jury found, 'That the death of deceased was caused by want of sufficient food.' "On Saturday Mr. Atkinson held an inquest on the body of John Barrett, at Cloonralogh, in the locality of Killala. Several witnesses gave evidence as to the state of destitution in which the deceased was. Dr. Neilson de posed, that from his examination of the body, he had no hesitation in stating that the death of the deceased was caused by insufficiency of food. The jury re urned a verdict that the deceased died from want of food ; and they further stated that to their own knowledge destitution prevails to a frightful extent in this neighbourhood, and that unless speedy relief be given many must perish for the want of food. " On Sunday the same coroner held an inquest on the body of Anthony Malley, at Notish, near Crossmolina. After the examination of several witnesses, and Dr. M'Nair, the jury returned a verdict of want of food being the cause of his death, and said that destitution prevailed to an alarming extent in the neighbourhood. "On the same day he held another inquest on the body of John Monnelly, at Ballymoboly. The evidence of the witnesses, and also that of Dr. M'Nair, showed the destitution in which the deceased had been. It also appeared that there are seventy habitations in the village, and the population about 350, not one of whom are em ployed on the public works. " William Rutledge, Esq., coroner, held an inquest at Shangurta, on the sth inst., on the body of iliiehael Lally, who came by his death from starvation. After examining several Witnesses, including Dr. Hamilton, of Ballinrobe, the jury found that the said Michael Lally came by his death from starvation." The Mayo Constitution also contains the following melancholy statemeat:— " We regret to say that disease of the most fatal description is very prevalent. Typbus fever, of a ma lignant character, rages; and also a disease—for which we know no term, but of equally fatal consequences— has made its appearance. It attacks the lips first, which fester, and then the stomach, somewhat similar to English cholera; so much so, that we have heard of a great number of persons having fallen victims to this latter disease." From other districts the accounts are quite deilorable. COUNTY TIPPERARY.—NENAGH, D EC . 9.—We con tinue to receive most heart-rending details of suffering and woe. The picture is becoming gloomier every day. The condition of the labouring population is truly alarming in every part of the country from which we hear. Where this dreadful state of things may end God alone knows. It baffles all the calculations and specula tions of man. Colonel Douglas attended a meeting of the Thurles relief committee on Saturday. That gentle man, we learn, is in Nenagh this day (Wednesday).— Tipperary Vindicator. MEETING OF THE KILKENNY RELIEF DEATH OP ADMIRAL LORD AMELIUS BEAU CLERK, G.C.B. AND G.C.ll.—lt is with feelings of re gret that we announce the decease of Admiral Lord Antelias Beauclerk, one of the oldest officers in the British Navy.

DEATH OF LORD STOURTON.— This venerable Nobleman, the representative of one of the oldest Ro man Catholic families in the empire, died on the 4th instant at his seat, Allerton House, Yorkshire, aged 71, after a protracted illness. Tho deceased Nobleman, William Stourton, Baron Stourton, of Stourton, county of Wilts, was born June 6, 1776, and succeeded to the title April 29, 1816.

At a late hour on Wednesday evening Mr. VT. Payne hold an inquest at the Three Tuns, Recicross•steet, Bar bican, on the body df Eleanor Elizabeth Wright, aged 34 years, who died on the 3d of November last, and was buried in New Bunhill-ground, Golden-lane, and whose body was exhumed by order of the coroner, in consequence of in formation that deceased had been brutally ill-treated and poisoned by her husband. Ann Collett, of No. 10, Elliott's-court, Old Bailey, de posed that she was sister to the deceased, who, with her husband, a map mounter, resided at No. 11, in the same court. They had been married above seventeen years. The deceased had been ailing for the last nine months, from consumption. About twelve months since the hus band formed an improper intimacy with a married wo man named Tisdall, since which he had been in the habit of cruelly beating deceased. On one occasion, about two months since, he seized a stone pitcher and beat her about the head, until she fainted from loss of blood. On Sunday, Nov. 1, witness waa sent for, in consequence of the husband ill-using the deceased. She had been confined to her bed for three months previous. Witness found the husband using bad language towards her. Deceased was crying; he took up a chair and threat cued to throw it at her head. Deceased whispered to witness to remove the knives and forks from the table, lest he should stab her; he had done so on a former occasion, and there was the sear on one of her arms; there was also a scar on her nose. Re continued to abuse her, and rushing to the bed, he seized her pocket from under the pillow, and shook out the money it con tained upon the floor. Deceased told witness that her husband had that day struck her upon the head and chest. In witness's opinion she was then dying. She told witness, that in case she died, to see that her body was opened. On Monday she got worse, and Dr. Lynch, of Farringdon-street, was sent for, who imme diately on seeing her pronounced her case to be hope less. The husband was addicted to drink. Several other witnesses gave evidence as to the habits of the husband in beating the deceased, and that the daughter had told them her father had poisoned her mother. Ann Wright, the daughter, a girl of fifteen, was ex amined. She positively swore that her father was not in the habit of ill-using her mother; and added, that " She wished she might drop down dead if there was any truth in what the witnesses asserted that she had said.' The CoaortEß said he did not believe a word she had said, and she bad prevaricated so grossly that he thought he ought to commit her to Newgate for perjury. The inquiry was adjourned to have analysation of the contents of deceased's stomach. - - 1 THE MUiIDER AT — HITCHEN. HITCHEN. HERTFORD, THURSDAY NIGHT.—An inquiry which was opened on Thursday last by Mr. Osbaldiston, one of the coroners of the county, was concluded to-day at Hitchen, on the body of George Tomlin, aged 16, in the employ of Lord Dacre, who died on Tuesday, the 2d instant, from the effects of a gun-shot wound, fired by a youth of the name of James Lawrence, under circum stances showing apparent deliberation. His deposition, taken before his death, was as fol lows:—I work for Lord Dacre on the Hoo Farm, in the parish of Paul Warden. On Sunday last, between two and three o'clock, I went from Lord Dacre's farm-yard into the timber-yard, which is close by, where I saw James Lawrence. 'He had a gun under his arm, and I supposed he was bird-keeping. He told me he had shot a hedge sparrow, and had broken its leg, and that it was somewhere in the hedge. We looked for the spar row, but could not find it. We then walked a few yards, when I told him I must go and and attend to the pigs. He said, " Then I'll shoot you," and pointed the gun at me. I ran behind a tree, and he came peeping round it, poking the gun, and then bolted to the other side of the tree, and be again came after me, pointing the muzzle of the gun at my forehead. I then ran away, but directly I did so he shot me in the back. I did not see what became of Lawrence, I believe he ran away, but I don't know exactly, I was so frightened. It further appeared that on Lawrence being appre hended (who, it should be observed, before the death of deceased, had been committed by the magistrates to Hertford gaol on a charge of shooting with an intent to do grievous bodily harm) he admitted that his gun had shot the deceased, but that it had gone off accidentally by his coat getting entangled with the trigger. He had never any against him ; they were always on the best of terms, and the reason he poked the gun at him was in " fun." The evidence of the medical gentleman having been taken, proving the wounds to be the cause of death,' The CORONER addressed the jury on the melancholy circumstance of the case, and the impropriety of entrust ing fire-arms to youths of the description of Lawrence, who was only 15 years of age. The jury retired, and in a few minutes returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Lawrence." COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS. Yesterday a special general meeting of the friends and supporters of this intended charity was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purposes of general business, and to consider the rules for defining and regulating the future government of the institution. Thomas Roberts, Esq., was called to the chair, who briefly urged the importance of the scciety upon the attention and support of all commercial men. Mr. RU3ISEY then proposed a motion for an adjourn ment until a future day, in consequence of the limited number of gentlemen being present, as he considered the proposed rules, to be submitted to the meeting for approval, ought not to be hastily passed over, and that if it were adjourned a number of commercial men, who were at present out of town, would have an opportunity of expressing their opinions as to the efficiency of the proposed rules for the future management of the insti tution. A long discussion ensued, when Mr. Rumsey's motion wes negatived by a majority of 10 to 2. The rules were then read seriatim by the Honorary Secretary, Mr. Lawrence, and, after some discussion, in which Messrs. liumsey, Hardcastle, Jones, Orr, Lau rence, &c., took part, were adopted. It was resolved that the institution be entitled' The Commercial Travellers' Schools for Orphans and Neces sitous Children," and that its design was the clothing, maintenance, and education of the destitute orphans of deceased, and the children of necessitous, commercial travellers of the United Kingdom, from the age of seven years to the age of fourteen years, and to be open to the children of every religious denomination. The donations already received amount to 6,0261. 1 1 s. ; annual subscribers of two guineas each. 231. 2s. ; of five guineas, 151. 15s. ; of ten guineas, 31/. ; and of 1/. Is., 2201. 10i. ; being 298/. per annum, making a total. of 6,3171. Bs. The Mercantile Life Assurance Company will also contribute 100/ per annum in support of the funds. The rules and regulations having been adopted, thanks were voted to the Chairman, who acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated. THE WAR BETWEEN the UNITED STATES and MEXICO, During a war, policy and strategy go hand in hand, and hold in comman the management of the operations. No resolution, exercising a decisive influence on the ftte of the war, can be taken unless both have their share in it ; and thus we can speak of a political and a military half of the war, which, however, can in no way be taken to imply that they are diverse from one another ; on the contrary, they are most closely interwoven in every direction, and at ev e ry moment. But this does not pre clude there being a political and military point of view from which every war can, and must, be regarded, parti cularly if a comprehensive and correct, not a partial, estimate is to be formed. This can only be obtained by a consideration of both points, because, as we have said, policy and strategy in war cannot be separated ; or, in in other words, because the threads which in the strate eetical part often appear in inextricable confusion, have their ends in the political part, and vice versa. If then, in the following remarks we attempt to pro nounce a military judgment on the war wao'ng by the United States against Mexico, we must preface that we shall not be guided by military views alone. The ne cessity of including the political relations in the motives of such a judgment appears, perhaps, nowhere with greater force than in an examination of the opening of the campaign in question. In a military point of view it can in no way be termed brilliant, as well as regards one party as the other ; nay, more, it was erroneous, and most on the American side. The frontier, towards the enemy, was stripped of troops, the army essentially on a peace footing, and only augmented by a few regi ments, the preparations for raising the new levies not completed, and no step taken for th:ir actual execution All these, in a military point of view, were most un favourable circumstances, and, strategetically considered, must have forbidden the opening of the war, had not policy prevented totally opposite chances. That the latter preponderated, was the result of a correct estimate of their importance, and of a knowledge of the strength of the Union as opposed to Mexico. Nevertheless, it must be allowed that, in the beginning of the war, the initiative belonged to this latter ; that, in consequence, the war might possibly have been commenced by a de feat of the Americans, which perhaps would have been followed by a more decisive political one also. We may even assert that it must have been so, if the Mexicans had known better how to avail the mselves of their advan tages. The approaching explanations, which we may expect will be made about this war, will show what errors were committed, at first on the Mexican side ; that they were committed, is not only certain, but that they were important. Had this not been the case, General Taylor must have been annihilated at the very commencement of hostilities. The Mexicans, however, whether owing to physical inferiority or erroneous tactics, allowed General Taylor to extricate himself from his ill-chosen position, and thus lost their test chance. A comparison has frequently been drawn be tween the expedition of the American army and the Russian campaign of 1812 ; the circumstances, however, are totally different, the Russians in the latter case being the weakest in the beginning of the campaign, while on the retreat of the enemy they knew they could reckon on an important accession of force. The Mexicans, on the contrary, during the whole of the first period of the campaign, were the strongest, and therefore had the initiative. On the American side, their chief error was allowing themselves to be seduced, by a few slight suc cesses, from the north, on to a line of operations be yond the Rio Grande del Norte, Monterey, and Saltillo, to the city of Mexico, when, having the undisputed command of the Gulf of Mexico, through their fleet, their proper basis of operation was there, with the view of capturing their capital, which would at once have given them possession of the country. The distance from Tampico or Vera Cruz to Mexico is only 300 miles, while from the basis of the American land operations. through Monterey and Saltillo, it is over 700 miles. The plan adopted by General Taylor as the principle of the campaign seems to have been to employ the Rio Grande as the basis of operation, whence the fortifications he has erected along the course of that stream, and the 10,000 men left there by him, as a sort of reserve, on his march to Monterey. The expedition of General Kearney may also be brought in connexion with this plan, he having marched on this river, and, as the best criterion of a strong basis is a great extension, he there by strengthened General Taylor's basis of operations. In this expedition, however, the consideration prepon derated that Santa Fe, which Kearney chose as the object of his operations, is the centre of Mexican power in the North, and, in the position of New Mexico, be tween the Arkansas territory and New California, its capture by the North Americans must be the first step to the occupction of the latter State, the possession of which, as is acknowledged, was the primary object of the war. The eight weeks' armistice granted to Am pudia by General Taylor was another error, though pro bably owing to the latter's ignorance of the real forces of Santa Anna in the south and Armijo in the north. This error, was the greater as it allowed the enemy time to recover from the effects of the defeat they had sustained at Monterey. With regard to the basis of operations in the Gulf of Mexico, the first thing that ought to be done is the capture of Vera Cruz, or Tampico. The former will probably be considered too strong to afford any prospect of success to the American fleet, destitute as the latter at present is of line-of-battle ships—a defi ciency that is, however, about to be remedied, by the equipment of the Ohio, 84 ; but as this ship is still in dock, we may legard the attack on Vera Cruz as indefi nitely postponed, if it is to await the arrival of that vessel. It must then be assumed that the Americans will first capture Tampico, and then besiege Vera Cruz by land and sea—a plan that presents the fewer difficul ties, inasmuch as from the slow progress of the raising of Santa Anna's army, stated at 30,000 men, the Mexi can General will most likely await the Americans in the plains of Anahuac, which, as soon as Vera Cruz and Tampico are in the hands of the Americans, will be the scene of further operations—Augsburg Gazelle. SMITHFIELD CLUB PRIZE CATTLE SHOW. - • • STRANGE INCIDENT-A FOUND LING. On Tuesday week a woman, of rather lady-like ap pearance, called at a large wholesale and retail ware house in this city, and after making some trifling pur chases, requested permission to leave, for a few mi nutes, a rather large basket which she carried in her hand, as she had " another call to make." Some time having elapsed without the woman re-appearing, the attention of one of the young men was called to the article in que:tion by observing, as he fancied, some thing moving inside. On farther examination, its con tents were found to be nothing less than a fine thriving babe, with the following words labelled on its breast : This exhibition was yesterday a g ain densely crowded with spectators. Even before nine o'clock a large num bae n r coedfvisitors s h t a a d nd i b n e g e nth the d u m n i fa t t v e o d u , ra a b n l d e a w s ea th t h e e day h a ie d h . prevailed, the spectators increased to such an extent that, at any period after the illuminatio n of theexhibi tion, to make the circuit of the yard was a work of the greatest difficulty. Although thus popular with the masses, the exhibition has nob, as yet, been honoured with the presence of many aristocratic visitors. The Duke of Cambridge, who generally pays an early visit to the yard, has not yet dune so this year; and it is even, stat& d that, although the Pritee Consort has been so marvelously successful in obtaining prizes on the present oecasicn, his Royal Highness will not be able to honour the show with a visit. The Duke of Richmond, Lord Portman, and other members of the club, were present in the yard again yesterday. The sale of stock was even more dull than on the previous day. This is partly accounted for by the unusual quantity of cattle sent in fur competition, and partly by the unfavourable weather. The demand is expected to be more brisk to-day. The only sales made yesterday, of animals which have obtained prizes or commendation, were the following : In Class VII., his Royal Highness Prince Albert's 2 years and 11 months old Highland stot and Durham heifer, bred by Mr. Milnes, of Downham, Norfolk, was purchased by Mr. T. Cowell, of Brook-street, Hyde park gardens._ _ _ —" Be kind to it. Its father is in the warehouse!"— This astounding discovery produced of course, a general sensation, much titillation, a good deal of bantering, and not a little sly scrutiny as to which of all the young men blushed deepest. Not one, however, of the one hundred and fifty—fur they amounted to no smaller a numberhad the candour, like Mrs. Malaprop in her love for Sir Lucius, to " own the soft impeachment !" In this dilemma, one of the partners of the firm resolved to follow the example of the renowned philocriath Doctor O'Toole, who, when unable to detect a delinquent, uni formly took the sure plan of thrashing all the boys in the school! In other words, he proposed that every man in the establishment should be mulcted in a penny a-week for the support of their interesting " charge ;" and, accordingly, the unconscious little hero or heroine of this curious story, has been carefully put out to nurse with the prospect of bein g well looked after. The pr ogress of the infant will no doubt be watched with as much anxiety as that of the junior Dombey himself ; and if it turn out to have red hair, or a nose more than ordinarily snub, or any other marked peculiarity of person, how great will be the consternation in the breast of every unfortunate possessor of similar characteristics among its one hundred and fifty foster-fathers ! In the mean- time, the latter will be particularly careful how they take in any more queer-looking baskets, lest the esta blishment with which they are connected should by transformed into another L'Hospitaldes .Enfans Trouves. —Glasgow Argus. „„ LORD DUNDONALD'S WAR PLAN .— T he sc i ent ific commission appointed to examine and decide on the merits of his Lordship's discovery, is occupied with the investigation of its principle, which neither trenches on that of Captain Warner, nor on the ingenious invention termed gun cotton, but is, in regards the latter, of a totally different nature.

An opinion prevails that a pawnbroker, receiving an article in pledge which has been stolen, can demand from the owner the repayment of money he has ad vanced to the thief by whom the stolen goods were pledged. This is a mistake, as will be seen on reference to the 39th and 40th George 111 , cap. 99, sec. 13, which enacts that when goods are unlawfully pawned, the pawn broker is to restore them, without any mention of com pensation.

NORTH SHIELDS, MONDAY.—An unsuccessful attempt was made to day to blow up the wreck of the Lady Feversham, which has lain upwards of twelve months in the main channel of the river Tyne, at this place, doing serious injary to the harbour, and, by obstructing the navigation, causing great damage to shipping, especially during the prevalence of stormy weather. This vessel, it may be remembered, was proceeding to sea, in the month of Novaraber, last year, coal laden, when she grounled on a shoal forward, and heeled over as the tide receded ; and, on the reflowing of the tide, she filled with water ; since which all attempts to raise her have been futile. The Universal Salvage Company (an off spring of the speculative mania of last autumn) first under teole the task, by means of large bags, to be attached in a col lapsed state to chains passing round and underneath the vessel, and then infisted by means of an air-pump corked by a powerful engine. The buoyancy of the air-bags, it was supposed, would raise the vessel, but after repeated experiments, extending over several months, the project was abandoned as hopeless. The wreck was then sold as it lay, to a party here, for 250/., acid further attempts were made under his direction, to raise it by means of lighters, but this plan also proved a failure. In the meantime complaints were made to the corporation of Newcastle, who are Conservators of the 1 1 . ) ne, by the owners end masters of vessels frequenting the harbour,- of inconvenience and damage arising from the wreck obstructing the navigation of tne river, and by pilots and others, of a diminution of water in the bar from silting up, attributed to the same cause, there being, as is alleged, nearly two feet less depth of water on the bar now than there was twelve mouths ago. Under these circumstances the corporation, having af forded every facility to the parties in their various un successful attempts to raise the vessel, determined to take the matter into their own hands, and blow the wreck up by means of gunpowder. This operation was intrusted to Mr. BrOoks, the resident engineer of the corporation, and two parties accustomed to the diving bell were engaged and brought down from London to perform the sub-marine works. The plan adopted was, to drive four piles, two on each side of, and about ten yards from, the vessel, and by means of these, a raft, consisting of four logs of fir, 80 feet in length, was moored directly over the vessel, extending from stem to stern. On this raft were placed the main wires, which were carried along seven other piles, to a galvanic bat tery in a craft moored about 80 fathoms from the wreck. Ten tin cylinders, containing each from 1001 b. to 18016. of gunpowder, were sent under the bilge of the vessel fore and aft, five on the larboard and five on the starboard side, and wires penetrating these cylinders extended and were attached to the main wires on the raft. The main wires, which were above the sur face of the water, were covered with cotton and India rubber varnish ; and those cannecting them with the magazines in the water had an additional coat of tar, with an outer covering of list. The magazines would be sunk to a depth of about 23 feet ; and they were affixed to the vessel by means of single sheaved blocks, having rattling-lines rove through them, which had been pre viously bolted to the vessel by the use of the diving ap paratus. This was the work of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in last week. For the simultaneous explo sion of the magazines there were three of Smee's batteries, each having ten cells, with double plates of zinc and platina, Cif inches by 5 inches ; and a fourth battery of iron and zinc plates equal to 20 cells of the zinc and platina ; and they were charged with sul phuric acid diluted in the proportion of six parts to one. The whole of the galvanic apparatus was manufactured expressly for the occasion by Mr. H. Watson, of New s castle-upon-Tyne. The interest excited by these opera tions was general and intense. Upwards of 50,000 people were congregated on the high ground overlooking the river on both sides ; a considerable proportion of whom had come from Newcastle, Sunderland, and vari ous other places in the neighbourhood, the intention of the corporation to blow the vessel up having been an nounced by advertisement in the public prints. The Mayor and the members of the Town- Council had a steamer engaged for their accommodation ; and several other steamers were well frieghted, but they were not allowed to approach within a considerable distance of the wreck, so that those that occupied the river banks had decidedly the hest view. By ten o'clock, the water having then nearly ebbed, the fixing of the wires was commenced, and occupied upwards of an hour Seven of the canisters were run down to their berths, and se cured there in less than half an hour. Owing to the accidental fouling of the other ropes, a little delay oc curred in placing the remainder, the divers having to be put in requisition. By one o'clock the whole was com pleted, and then the batteries were charged, a black flag having been hoisted at the mainmast - of the Lady Faver sham, to indicate that all was in readiness to effect her destruction. The firing of a gun was the pre-arranged signal for the explosion ; and that having been given, the operator completed the galvanic circle, and a large body of water rose at each end of the wreck to the height of about tea feet. This effect being much less than was anticipated, an examination was made, when it was found that only two of the canisters had ex ploded, and that a third one had been torn away, the others remaining precisely as they had been placed. The cause of the failure is attributed to the coldness of the day, and the inferior quality of the gunpowder, which is supposed to have been also too damp, arising from the canisters having been filled on board a hopper barge, moored near the wreck, during a thick miazling rain, which prevailed at intervals during the morning. Some fragments of the wreck were found floating on the sur face of the river after the explosion ; but if all had gone off as was expected, the destruction of the vessel would probably have been completed. The experiment will no doubt be repeated in the course of a few days, when probably a larger quantity of gunpowder will be used than was on this occasion, owing to the state of alarm into which many of the inhabitants of North and South Shields were thrown by apprehensions of danger. All the windows facing the water were thrown open at the time of the explosion ; and many persons, it is said, actually removed their furniture some days previously. The river police, under the direction of Mr. Stephens, were exceedingly active in keeping the way clear ; and it is satisfactory to state that all passed off without an accident to any one.

Various plans of relief were suggested—one was to increase the extern relief to two meals a day, or the opening of soup-houses ; but it was decided that some thing was necessary to be done to afford employment on the following morning, as the peace of the city was endangered ; and upwards of three-hours were spent in considering the best course adopt. A subscription was commenced ; several of tfle:Jgeel, einen present gave donations.

COUNTY Or KERRY. —TRALEE, DEC. B.—The usual half. weekly meeting of the relief committee was held yesterday. Several complaints were made that persons not entitled to work were employed on the public works to the execlusion of others who had aprior claim to such employment. Rev. Mr. Rowen read a list of twenty-one persons employed upon one road, some of whom were farmers, others had been seen a few days before selling potatoes, and in most instances there were three em ployed out of a family. Mr. Lynch handed in 50/.. a subscription from Maurice O'Connell, Dq., M.P., making in all 100/. subscribed by him to the funds of the relief committee of this district. Mr. Lynch stated also that Mr. O'Connell had contributcd 1001. to the lighting of this town. The committee again expressed their opinion, that if immediate employment were not given, the public peace could not be preserved.—Kerry Examiner. DREADFUL OUTRAGES-GOVERNMENT PRO CLAMATIONS.

The quantity of mundic at the shallow level is enormous, being from five to six feet wide, of the average richness of the subjoined analysis, made by Mr. P. N.
